    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Artillery shells flew from behind the Japanese position and kept falling in the area in front of the Japanese position. However, because the tanks and infantry attacked by the independent division were very scattered, the threat posed by the Japanese artillery shells could almost be ignored.  , of course, this is also related to the fact that the Japanese artillery is conducting test firings. When the next round of artillery shells falls, it will definitely pose a great threat.

    However, the Japanese artillery obviously did not have such a chance. The tanks of the Independent Division immediately turned around and retreated. The infantry accompanying the attack moved quickly and ran in front of the tanks in a few steps. Seeing the Chinese troops in such a mess, the Emperor of Japan  With a few rounds of artillery fire, the attack of dozens of tanks was easily repelled. There was a burst of cheers on the Japanese position, and the morale of the Japanese soldiers immediately rose. Even the shocked Manchurian Volunteer Team members became much calmer!

    But Major General Katayama, who was always observing the battlefield situation, kept his heart sinking. As a general who had seen big scenes, he knew very well that the artillery bombardment of the light artillery regiment was just a test fire and could not cause any harm to the independent division's attacking troops.  However, the Chinese retreated immediately. Major General Katayama felt something was wrong and immediately ordered: Order the artillery regiment to move their positions immediately. This is a conspiracy of the Chinese!  "

    Hearing the sound of Japanese artillery, Han Tie had a sneer on his lips, "Finally the trump card has been played!" He thought to himself, "The artillery observation post determined the specific location of the Japanese artillery position, and the communications staff provided the coordinates of the Japanese artillery position.  , Immediately report to the Qingdao Air Force Ground Control!" Han Tie issued several orders one after another, a few minutes later.  The three independent division aviation bomber regiments flying over from the direction of the Korean Peninsula received orders from Qingdao ground air control.

    The huge roar of bombers.  Once again, they came to the sky above the Japanese army. On the fuselage, the unique military emblem of the independent division aviation was particularly clear in the June sunshine of the Liaodong Peninsula. Major General Katayama finally despaired of any plot in the face of absolute strength.  There was nothing they could do. Besides, he was not a wise commander, so he left it to fate. Major General Katayama sighed and sat numbly in the corner of the shelter, waiting for the explosion that would shake the earth.

    It was another round of ferocious bombing.  These three bomber regiments received orders to return to the Shandong Peninsula Field Airport immediately after the bombing, so they carried bombs.  The Japanese soldiers who were shouting loudly just now to repel the attack of the independent division were immediately caught in the steel storm, with loud noises, smoke, fire, pillars of earth, mud and gravel.  .  The body fragments of Japanese soldiers and Manchurian volunteers shrouded the Japanese position.

    This time the bombing was slightly shorter.  It only lasted about thirty minutes, but the casualties caused to the Japanese army were still huge. Especially the Japanese artillery positions that exposed their positions were focused on bombing targets. The bombers dropped all their bombs and lined up in neat formation. The Japanese positions  On the ground, it was like a huge fire that had burned out, and the whole place was scorched beyond recognition!

    "Commander, you are so cunning that you let the bombers fight back! It is estimated that there are only a few living people left in the Jaap's position. How can you withstand such a torment!" Major General Jiang Xianliang, commander of the 6th Brigade, said in  The person yelling on the phone said.

    Han Tie also had a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with the bombing effect of the bomber group. "Jiang Xianliang, have you underestimated the enemy again? According to the previous deployment, this time it is a full-line attack. I will give you three hours to get to the Japanese positions!"

    "Commander, it won't take three hours, but within two hours, I guarantee you will stand on the Japanese army's position!" Jiang Xianliang replied confidently.

    The huge explosion disappeared, and the numb Major General Katayama was awakened by the words of his staff officer, "Your Excellency, Acting Commander, the Chinese bombers have withdrawn. Are we prepared to counterattack their attack?"

    Major General Katayama stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with despair. He knew that after the second round of bombing, not many of his troops would be left. However, retreat had become impossible. As for surrender, don't even think about it.  Just fight to the last man standing and devote yourself to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan!

    "Convey my order to repair the fortifications immediately. All members of the Manchurian Volunteer Corps must blow up the attacking independent division tanks! If there is any flinch, the officers of the unit have the right to execute the shooting immediately!" Major General Katayama said fiercely, unable to bear it.  It is still possible to stay on the defensive line and fight to the death.

    On the battlefield, amidst the shouts of the Japanese officers and the threat of the black hole of the gun, the members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team, covered with explosives and grenades, lay in the hot trench with numb faces, like walking zombies. They knew  determine one's own destiny.

    The roar of the tanks rang out again, and all the remaining Japanese soldiers on the position became highly nervous. They knew better that if the jade was shattered on the position, it was a destined outcome. They could only kill more people before their jade was shattered.  Several Chinese soldiersThe combat effectiveness of soldiers who have already embraced death is often very terrifying!

    In the shelter, Major General Katayama put on a helmet, held a pistol in his hand, and hung several grenades on his body. He was also ready to fight in person. If necessary, he would die with the soldiers of the Independent Division. He had this determination and  courage!

    When Major General Katayama came out of the shelter with several guards, the Japanese soldiers on the position saw a scene that horrified them. The tanks of the Independent Division drove in front of their position and suddenly stopped. Then, along with the tanks,  The attacking infantry began to set up artillery positions leisurely. Hundreds of mortars, which were familiar to Japanese soldiers, had their black muzzles tilted and pointed toward the sky.

    How could the Kwantung Army soldiers who were also fighting on the battlefield not know how much of a threat these hundreds of mortars pose to the battlefield? Without the commander issuing an order, the light and heavy machine gunners gritted their teeth and fired hard.  Trigger, bullets hit like raindrops, but they are helpless against the artillery positions of the independent division covered by tanks. In addition, the range is too long, and the bullets cannot hit those mortars at all.

    No one, including Han Tie, expected that Jiang Xianliang, the commander of the 6th Brigade, would actually be sitting in a tank, holding a walkie-talkie, observing the Japanese position intently, seeing the Japanese light and heavy machine guns firing desperately, with a smile on his face.  With a contemptuous sneer, Jiang Xianliang was not taking risks. He knew very well that after two rounds of bombing, the Japanese artillery positions were completely destroyed, and the Japanese had no weapons that could threaten the tanks.

    Of course, all this was hidden from Han Tie. Jiang Xianliang sternly warned his chief of staff and brigade staff that anyone who leaked the fact that he went to the front line and personally directed the artillery bombardment would definitely make him look good. Specific measures will be taken.  Yes, sent to the logistics department to carry shell boxes.

    "Are the mortars ready?" Jiang Xianliang asked, looking at the Japanese position.

    "Report to the brigade commander, everything is ready!" the mortar commander replied.

    "Fire!" Jiang Xianliang ordered in a low voice.

    A group of artillery shells, with a shrieking sound that rent the air, flew towards the Japanese position like a black stork, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Japanese position was once again shrouded in smoke and fire, and the power of mortar shells  Of course, it is not as good as the heavy aerial bombs, but it is better than the dense one. The bombs hit one after another. Later, dozens of small-caliber artillery also joined the ranks of the bombardment. The filled smoke obscured the brightness of the Liaodong Peninsula in June.  sunshine.

    Major General Katayama and several guards had just entered the position when they caught up with the overwhelming mortar shells flying over them. There were no blind spots and they were covering all directions. "Boom! Boom!" Several mortar shells were fired in front of Major General Katayama.  Explosions and shattered shrapnel roared from all directions, all cutting into his body and killing him instantly. He fell on the battlefield. Major General Katayama opened his lifeless eyes and looked blankly at the Liaodong Peninsula.  The June sky was surrounded by the bloody corpses of the guards.

    This time the shelling and punishment reflected the basic principles followed by the independent division troops, to maximize the advantage of firepower. Jiang Xianliang did not intend to stop at it. He could kill all the little Japs on the position with artillery shells, and he would not foolishly order the soldiers to go there.  Desperately, hundreds of mortars fired non-stop for more than 40 minutes. Tens of thousands of shells fell. The Japanese position was no longer visible and was flattened.

    The subsequent attack launched by the two regiments of the Sixth Brigade did not encounter any resistance. The Japanese soldiers on the position, including the members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team, were almost killed. However, Jiang Xianliang did not dare to be careless. Huang Wanshan's fourth  The lesson of the brigade was right in front of him. He ordered the troops, "After rushing to the Japanese position, if you see the body of a little Japanese, no matter what kind of clothes you are wearing, no matter whether you are still breathing or not, stay away and give me a patch of blood."  Shuttle bullets, just in case!¡±

    Jiang Xianliang's order was absolutely correct. Although after two rounds of bombing and one round of shelling, the Japanese soldiers and Manchurian Volunteers on the position were almost dead, but a very small number of them survived, but they were all seriously injured, not missing.  His arms and legs were missing, his whole body was bleeding and he was dying. It was impossible for him to escape unscathed under such a fierce fire. Because of this, he was the most dangerous enemy.

    Those seriously injured Japanese soldiers crawled to the bodies of the Manchurian Volunteer Corps members, holding fuses in their hands. The still alive Manchurian Volunteer Corps members, even more so, were waiting for the soldiers of the Independent Division to rush up and fight these hateful enemies.  perish together!

    But Jiang Xianliang¡¯s order did not give these bastards a chance. The soldiers of the Independent Division rushed to the Japanese position, first receiving a burst of submachine gun bullets, and then, on the calm battlefield, there were scattered explosions again.

    Hearing the explosion, Jiang Xianliang, who was sitting in the tank, grinned and felt frightened. Without the previous lessons of the Fourth Brigade, the commander repeatedly reminded him that just by occupying the Japanese position, he would not know what to do.How many soldiers fell into the hands of these little devils who were struggling to their death.

    The explosion finally stopped. After receiving the report, Jiang Xianliang breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the walkie-talkie, "Report to Commander, the Sixth Brigade has occupied the Japanese position!"
