In the early morning, standing on the high ground of the position, Kitano Hirata looked at the enemy camp in the distance with his binoculars.
It is said to be a camp, but it is actually a parking lot for tanks and armored vehicles. The enemy soldiers did not even set up tents there, but slept next to the armored vehicles and tanks.
"The enemy has surrounded Hohhot, leaving only a gap in the direction of Ulanqab." said the Japanese staff officer.
"Besieging three and missing one is something in ancient Chinese military art. How many troops are there to surround us?" Kitano Hiranobu put down his telescope and asked.
The Japanese staff officer immediately said: "There are more than 10,000 people who already know about it. In addition, the 12th Brigade and the 32nd Brigade have lost contact. I suspect they have been annihilated. , the enemy armored forces that attacked them will also attack us!"
Hearing this, Kitano Hiranobu's expression became more solemn.
"Hohhot cannot be lost, otherwise the entire Chahar will fall into the hands of the enemy. Not only that, they will also threaten the security of Shanxi, and the troops will be directed towards Datong!" said Kitano Hiranobu.
"But if we hold on, given the enemy's firepower, we may not be able to hold on for long. Their armored units have terrible combat effectiveness. Our two brigades were almost completely annihilated before they could even hold on for a day." The staff officer said.
"They are on the grassland, with no danger to defend, and no position to hide. They are naturally suppressed by the enemy's firepower, and their defeat is reasonable. With our current defenses and the city of Hohhot as our support, there is no problem in holding on for a week. "
Seeing that Kitano Hiranobu insisted, the Japanese military staff officer had no choice.
"What's more, His Excellency Yoshio Shinozuka has promised to send a brigade to support us. The Kwantung Army's base camp also knows the situation on our side and will definitely send reinforcements as soon as possible. In addition, Ulancha With a local cavalry division dispatched by Bu, we may not be able to fight the enemy!" Kitano Heishin said this, and he didn't know whether he was speaking to others or himself.
When the Japanese army planned to defend, Si Yu, who was in charge of commanding this unit, had already issued a combat order.
He now commands tens of thousands of troops and has absolute confidence in taking Hohhot.
Fifteen kilometers away from them, a large number of howitzers from the howitzer regiment were ready. The two artillery regiments that arrived last night have also entered combat positions.
They were outside Hohhot and had prepared more than 200 artillery pieces. Among them, there are nearly a hundred large-caliber artillery pieces.
These volleys of artillery shells were enough to turn the Japanese positions outside Hohhot into scorched earth.
"The Fourth Tank Regiment and the Fifth Tank Regiment attacked the enemy's position directly from the front. The First Infantry Regiment and the Second Infantry Regiment attacked from the sides, while the Motorized Infantry Regiment looked for gaps in the enemy's line and charged directly into the city of Hohhot." Si Yu said. He said to the commanders of each unit on the phone.
"Yes, sir!"
After all the troops received the attack order, the artillery positions in their rear were ready for battle.
They aimed at the Japanese defenses outside the city. With just one order, they would immediately pour hundreds of artillery shells directly onto the Japanese positions.
"Commander, the artillery attack order has been issued from the front." A soldier shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Li Yixuan, the leader of the howitzer regiment, immediately raised the flag in his hand, and then made a slashing motion downwards.
"The whole regiment's artillery listens to the order and fires!!"
With his order, the howitzer, which had already adjusted its shooting angle, immediately began loading shells, and then roared.
¡°Boom!!!¡±
The roaring sound was uniform, and the huge recoil of the artillery made the entire artillery position raise huge clouds of dust.
Li Xuanyi picked up the telescope and looked at the Japanese positions in the distance from a high place.
¡°Boom!!!¡±
After a few seconds of flight, the shells finally hit the Japanese defenses.
When the howitzer regiment opened fire, the other two mountain artillery regiments also began to bombard them with artillery shells.
Hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers bombarded the Japanese positions at the same time. The Japanese soldiers who were still on the position screamed and entered the bunkers and other fortifications after hearing the whistling of the artillery shells.
The Japanese troops are hereA large number of machine gun bunkers and other permanent fortifications were built outside the city of Hohhot. In addition to machine guns, some bunkers even have anti-tank weapons such as flat-fire cannons.
These fortifications are also the biggest reason why Kitano Hiranobu firmly believes that he can support the arrival of reinforcements.
The fortification is made of reinforced concrete and is considered very strong. But the power of the large-caliber shells of the howitzer regiment was simply too great.
Those large-caliber artillery shells, as long as they hit these bunkers, can blow up the entire Japanese bunker to pieces. The solid structure of reinforced concrete cannot withstand the bombardment of these shells.
I saw only one Japanese bunker, which was immediately shattered after being hit by a shell. The seven or eight Japanese soldiers hiding inside were all smashed to pieces, and none survived.
Similar scenes can also be seen in other places in the position.
The locations of the Japanese bunkers were marked in advance by the scouts of the Kagel Combat Division in the early morning.
With these coordinates, every artillery piece in the artillery regiment has a target to bombard.
The shooting accuracy of these artillery is not comparable to the artillery of this era. Although all howitzers are more than ten kilometers away from the target, they can ensure that the shells fired fall on the Japanese positions and complete precise coverage.
With such powerful, long-range, and high-precision artillery, the Japanese bunkers were basically within the range of howitzer fire.
