On the front line of Wanjia Town, inside the forward command post of the 13th Regiment.
Captain Tian Jin held up his binoculars and watched as the attacking troops continued to fall under the obstruction of the Japanese crossfire network.
He couldn¡¯t help but feel a little angry, ¡°This little son of a bitch is so damn cunning, order the troops to stop attacking and withdraw.¡±
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Jinzhou, the Japanese frontline headquarters.
Shinozuka Yoshio was staring at the battle map in front of him with a sullen face. At this time, a colonel officer strode in with a saber in hand.
Reported to Yoshio Shinozuka: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is a call from the front line of Wanjia Town. They have repelled the first attack of the Chinese."
"Oh? Is our loss big?" Yoshio Shinozuka raised his head and asked.
"Thanks to your foresight, General, although the Chinese conducted fierce bombing and artillery attacks on our frontline positions, they failed to cause too many casualties to our army." Officer Dazuo lowered his head and said.
"Youxi, inform the frontline troops not to be careless and to be prepared for poison gas and aerial attacks by the China Army." Shinozuka Yoshio said.
"Hai."
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
On the grassland in the southeast of Chifeng County, the independent armored divisions led by Zhang Xudong and Zhang Yi finally arrived at the border of Chifeng after a long and rapid march.
Want to surprise Shenyang. They must cross the Yanshan Mountains and reach Tongliao via Chifeng. From Tongliao, rush to Zhangwu and then go straight to Shenyang City.
Chifeng was under the rule of King De of the Puppet Mongolian Army at this time. As we all know, King De was a puppet supported by the Japanese after they occupied the three eastern provinces and Rehe.
The Mongolian army he founded was a rebel army just like the puppet army of Manchukuo.
Since the Japanese focused their main energy on the Jinzhou defense line, they had no time to take care of King De's puppet Mongolian army at this moment.
When he learned that the national armored troops were coming in overwhelming numbers, King De almost peed his pants in fear.
The Puppet Mongolian Army in Chifeng County is even more ready to surrender.
But what surprised them was. This national armored force had no intention of attacking Chifeng County.
??Go directly around the city and continue heading north.
The puppet Mongolian army in Chifeng was shocked and quickly reported the situation to the king in Ordos.
After King De, who had been frightened out of his mind by the armored division, heard the news, he breathed a deep sigh of relief and directly gave instructions to the defenders in Chifeng County and other places.
As long as the national army does not attack them, any of their actions must be ignored and left alone.
King De is not stupid. He knew that the Japanese were no longer what they used to be, so he began to reserve a way out for himself.
The news of the presence of this national armored force in the Horqin Grassland was not reported to Hideki Tojo in Shenyang.
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
On the front line of Wanjia Town, the 13th Regiment command post.
"Master, our shelling and bombing don't seem to have caused any substantial losses to the Japs. Their firepower was much stronger than I expected. The attacking troops suffered heavy casualties." Tian Jin complained on the phone. .
"Captain Tian. I have transferred the direct artillery regiment, the self-propelled artillery regiment, the tank and armor regiment to you, and you are still complaining to me, in one sentence. Can you do it? No, I will switch to the second regiment!" on the phone! Jiang Jun, commander of the Fifth Division, came out with dissatisfied remarks.
Tian Jin quickly gritted his teeth and said: "No need to change people, no need to change people. Master, within twenty-four hours, I will definitely capture Wanjia Town!"
"Okay, I'll give you twenty-four hours. If we can't win Wanjia Town, I'll replace you." After Jiang Jun finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, Tian Jin walked to the lookout mirror with a gloomy look on his face, looked at the Japanese army position where the smoke had not cleared, and sighed helplessly.
"Commander, what should we do?" the chief of staff asked.
"I couldn't think of any good solution for a while. I had no choice but to attack by force. I notified the artillery regiment and the self-propelled artillery regiment to aim at Wanjia Town and bombard it for half an hour. Then the armored regiment sent out some tanks. and armored vehicles to cover our regiment's attack." Tian Jin gritted his teeth.
"Yes!" Chief of Staff Wang Xiuwen saw Tian Jin's firm attitude and immediately took the order and left.
Ten minutes later, the artillery regiment directly under the Fifth Division, the self-propelled artillery regiment and the tank artillery of the tank regiment fired againFired one after another.
With the previous battle, almost all the firepower points of the Japanese army have been exposed. This time the artillery bombardment was more accurate.
"±Øٴٴ Boom, boom, boom" The shells dragged two to three meters of tail flames, drew arcs in the sky, and crashed towards the Japanese position in Wanjia Town, landing on the ground. There was an explosion, and balls of fire shot into the sky, and thick smoke quickly filled the air.
The 105mm howitzer and 120mm self-propelled cannon fired hundreds of guns together. The scene was very spectacular, and the sky seemed to be covered by streams of traffic.
Looking down at Wanjia Town from a high altitude, all we can see is fire and thick smoke rising from the ground. The entire Wanjia Town has almost turned into a sea of ??fire.
Some Japanese soldiers hiding in defensive bunkers made of reinforced concrete could clearly feel the ground shaking violently under their feet.
And those Japanese who were hiding in the trenches and caves where soldiers were hiding were so shocked that their blood boiled and their internal organs were shaken.
Some were slightly closer to the impact point, and the Japanese inside were shocked to the point of bleeding to death.
There were even more caves where soldiers could not withstand the bombardment of several violent explosions and collapsed, and all the Japanese soldiers inside were buried alive.
As for the security soldiers who stayed in the trenches, they were torn into pieces by the raging shrapnel and air waves, with mud scattered everywhere.
Within half an hour, dense and fierce artillery fire plowed back and forth, blasting the Japanese army's Wanjia Town position several times.
When the artillery fire began to spread, Tian Jin immediately ordered the already prepared third battalion and an armored company of the tank regiment to attack immediately.
On the attack position, sixteen Panzer IV tanks and four Tiger tanks took the lead.
Hundreds of infantrymen from the Third Battalion, carrying assault rifles, rocket launchers and flamethrowers, followed the tank group and launched another attack on Wanjia Town.
Due to two fierce shellings by the Japanese army, the minefields prepared by the Japanese army in front of the formation have been completely destroyed.
The attack of the Third Battalion this time was smoother than expected. Four huge Tiger tanks were at the front like steel behemoths. The 88mm tank cannon roared and spit out balls of fire from time to time. When it fell on the Japanese position, it was a fierce ball. of explosion.
Sixteen Panzer IV tanks were arranged on the two wings of the Tiger tanks. The vehicle-mounted machine guns and 75mm tank guns also kept pouring steel bullets on the Japanese positions.
The target is directly at those bunkers and bunkers that are still firing tenaciously.
As the distance approaches, more and more surviving Japanese firepower points begin to roar.
¡°Swish, swish, swish¡¡± Dense bullets roared through the gaps between tanks, constantly flying over the heads of the Qiao Army soldiers who were charging with the tanks.
"Some soldiers were unfortunately hit by bullets and fell into a pool of blood.
More bullets were blocked by the tank's huge body. The dense bullets hit the tank's thick armor, making a series of clanking sounds and sparks flying everywhere.
As the tanks got closer, from time to time on the Japanese positions there were dead Japanese soldiers with their heads wrapped in samurai scarves holding explosive packs, fearlessly jumping out of the trenches in an attempt to blow up the tank tracks to prevent them from continuing to advance.
However, before they had even taken a few steps, the infantrymen from the third battalion of Hand Ji Net opened fire in bursts with assault rifles.
"Da da da" After a burst of gunfire, the Japanese soldiers who had just jumped out of the trench froze, tilted their heads and fell into a trench in front of their trench.
The battlefield was filled with bullets and gunfire, and the soldiers were all busy shooting. No one paid attention to this detail, which was that there was an anti-tank trench about four meters wide and three meters deep in front of the Japanese trench.
The armored troops of Tiger tanks and Panzer IVs also focused their attention on the Japanese positions in front.
When the tank approached the trench, the tank crews were unable to discover that there was an anti-tank trench about four meters wide in front of them due to the blind spot problem.
"Boom, boom, boom" Four Tiger tanks were the first to fall into the anti-tank trench.
And what¡¯s worse is that the front of the tank fell down at an angle, and the thick barrel was bent because it could not bear the huge weight of the tank.
The root parts were loosened in vain, and the engine was quickly stalled.
The drivers of the other No. 4 tanks noticed the anomaly and quickly braked, thus avoiding the dangerous situation of all falling.
And at this moment, the Japanese were in the enemy position that had been suppressed just now.
Suddenly, more than a hundred Japanese death squads with samurai scarves on their heads emerged. They held explosive packs and machine guns and shouted nonsense about long live the emperor. They swarmed towards the four Tiger tanks that were temporarily incapacitated and stuck in the trench.
¡°Damn it, it¡¯s broken, fire with all your strength, neverIt can get the little devil close to the tank. Quickly, call for reinforcements. "The commander of the third battalion was furious when he saw this. He raised his MP44 assault rifle and fired fiercely.
The infantrymen of the third battalion rushed around the tank and refused to retreat.
On the attack position of the 13th Regiment, both Tian Jin and Wang Xiuwen discovered this sudden change.
"Gentlemen, what should I do?" Wang Xiuwen turned around and asked anxiously.
"Order the engineer company to rush up to me immediately and rescue the four Tiger tanks for me. The Tiger tanks have never been defeated since they were put into service. This glorious record cannot be lost by our 13th regiment. Hurry and do it at all costs." Tian Jin quickly ordered.
"Yes!" Wang Xiuwen responded and quickly followed the order.
"Kill the Gaga, capture the Chinese tanks, long live the emperor, kill the Gaga!" Seeing the opportunity, the Japanese army immediately attacked in groups.
A Japanese commander even charged forward with a command knife.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers suddenly jumped out of the trenches, holding explosive bags and machine guns, and rushed towards the four trapped Tiger tanks.
