Of course, Honda political materials are also mentally prepared. That is, once the aviation force still cannot solve the problem of being shot down by the enemy, then they can only rely on their own ground forces.
The Japanese artillery force, two artillery regiments, will also provide strong support for Honda's operations in Fengzhen City.
The day before the fall of Hunyuan County, Liu Fudong's mechanized army successfully reached the outer defense line of Fengzhen City.
On a mountaintop not far from Fengzhen City, the troops of the Kagel Combat Division had captured the place two hours ago.
Looking from here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Fengzhen City.
Fengzhen City is not a very big city, but because it is the northern gateway of Datong, it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
However, the Japanese army had very few troops here before. It was only when they realized that the Kagel Combat Division might threaten Datong that they suddenly mobilized a large number of troops to garrison here.
In the telescope, Liu Fudong could clearly see the Japanese defense line outside Fengzhen City.
"Civil fortifications, bunkers made of reinforced concrete. Many bunkers are connected by passages. A large number of anti-tank guns, anti-tank trenches, and barbed wire." Liu Fudong said while looking at the Japanese positions. "It seems that the enemy is ready to fight us this time."
Beilun next to him said: "If you are not prepared, half of their fortifications will be destroyed by one artillery salvo."
Liu Fudong said: "Some fortifications can be destroyed directly, but there are many semi-buried bunkers here. I'm afraid those bunkers will become hard bones."
Beilun said: "Then let the tank troops rush forward and cooperate with the infantry. Even if we can encroach on the enemy's position bit by bit and knock down Fengzhen City, it is only a matter of time."
Liu Fudong nodded, touched his beard and said: "Immediately dispatch a reconnaissance force to conduct a detailed investigation of the enemy's position layout and firepower configuration. Once the intelligence is collected, we will start studying the combat plan."
"Okay!" Beilun said, his cloudy eyes shining with excitement.
Although this old patriarch is very old, his blood still seems to be burning. He always maintains a very high enthusiasm for fighting, as if only in this way can he prevent himself from aging so quickly.
The soldiers of Kagel are all like him, full of yearning for battle.
This is why the soldiers of the Kagel Combat Division can be so fierce when fighting.
The next day, news of the fall of Hunyuan County reached Liu Fudong.
This made him realize that he must lead the Kagel Combat Division as soon as possible to defeat Fengzhen City.
By then, he and the Fourth Army troops led by Xia Yang will besiege Datong together, and they will be able to control the entire large area of ??northwest Shanxi.
And this area will become their base for developing their own power and expanding their strength.
Honda Masakai stood on top of the city wall, looking at the end of the horizon in the distance. The enemy's armored forces formed a long black line, slowly advancing towards him.
The number of tanks and armored vehicles adds up to hundreds.
In addition, there are a large number of trucks, various support vehicles, combat motorcycles, etc. among them.
This is the first time Honda Masato has seen such a big scene.
¡°Before, he felt that it was a very shameful thing for Chahar¡¯s dispatched troops to lose Hohhot and Ulanqab to the enemy.
But now it seems that being defeated by such an enemy is not so unspeakable.
At this moment, Honda political material even somewhat understood the commander-in-chief of the Chahar dispatched army.
The armored troops have already entered the outskirts of Fengzhen City under Liu Fudong's order.
They were only a few kilometers away from the Japanese outer positions, but they began to camp in place and stopped advancing.
In addition to repairs, they are also waiting for the artillery units in the rear.
Until nightfall, there was no movement among these armored units.
In the evening, the artillery unit finally crossed the difficult mountain road and deployed the artillery less than ten kilometers away from Fengzhen City.
In this position, small-caliber mountain artillery and field artillery can easily cover the Japanese army's peripheral defense positions.
And those large-caliber 155-caliber howitzers can easily cover the entire Fengzhen City.
The firepower provided by the two howitzer regiments is much more terrifying than the one far away from Caihe River.
But correspondingly, the enemy they need to face is also the main force of the Japanese Eighth Division, which is better prepared.
Their first wave of attack was officially launched after the howitzer regiment and artillery regiment completed their deployment.
According to Liu Fudong¡¯s order, the first wave of attacks was more tentative.
On the one hand, it is to expose the main firepower points of the Japanese army, so as to facilitate the artillery in the rear to carry out coverage strikes.
On the other hand, it is to test the firepower intensity of the Japanese army in this way.
At around six o'clock in the morning, nearly a hundred tanks and armored vehicles of the Tank Regiment were ready for battle.
Howitzers and mountain artillery, before they attacked, began to violently bombard the Japanese outer positions.
Amid the rumbling sounds of artillery, the Japanese soldiers who were still sleeping hurriedly climbed into the fortifications.
As for the Japanese troops who were slow to respond, they were blown to pieces by the artillery shells that fell like a heavy rain.
The artillery bombardment lasted for more than ten minutes.
The Japanese army¡¯s original position had changed into something else under the bombardment of artillery. There were dense craters everywhere, and many civil engineering works were directly overturned by howitzer shells.
After the shelling ended, all Japanese soldiers entered their respective combat positions under the commander¡¯s loud orders.
? One by one, the combat defense artillery pieces began to be pulled to the combat defense artillery position of the position. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
