Liu Changlong was originally a brigade commander of the Kagel Combat Division and had relatively rich experience in tank warfare. Originally, Xia Yang wanted Liu Fudong to be the commander of the First Armored Division, but for a while he could not find a suitable candidate for the commander of the Kagel Combat Division.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Fudong recommended Liu Changlong. Although both of them are surnamed Liu, one is from Northeast China and the other is from Hebei, so there is not much relationship between them.
Liu Changlong can be regarded as a veteran who has followed Xia Yang for many years. Not long after the fall of Peiping, he followed the defeated soldiers in the Baoding area and entered Xia Yang's independent camp.
He is not very old, but there is an extraordinary calmness in his eyes. There is a calm mind that does not change even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you.
"Order the third regiment to outflank the left wing and eat up the last Japanese stronghold outside the city. This evening, we will launch the first wave of offensive against Anyang City."
Liu Changlong pointed at the map and said, his voice was very soft, but in the ears of the staff officers, it was like nails in their minds.
He usually seems to be soft-spoken, but everyone in the armored division knows that Liu Changlong is extremely strict in running the army.
This kind of strictness is not only for his soldiers, but also for himself. Since he was in the army, this person has strictly followed military regulations, whether in daily life or daily training, and can be called a model of modern officers.
???????????????????????????????????????????????¡ªThe officers at the division commander level of the Fourth Army are basically addicted to cigarettes, including Xia Yang.
Especially when they are on the battlefield, they tend to smoke more fiercely than usual because of excessive mental pressure. Hoping to calm down with nicotine.
¡°But Liu Changlong doesn¡¯t smoke or drink, and he doesn¡¯t even seem to be interested in women.
The only thing that can cheer him up is fighting.
Xia Yang once said that he also wanted to become an officer like Liu Changlong. As a result, he found that he was unable to escape the secular world, and he would feel uncomfortable unless he got a little bit of the fireworks of the world.
Liu Changlong, on the other hand, is able to detach himself from the world and only focus on what he needs to do.
"Aren't you waiting for the infantry?" his chief of staff asked.
Liu Changlong shook his head and said: "Their advance is too slow. Although the Eighth Route Army delayed the enemy's reinforcements in the north, it cannot continue to delay them.
We must capture Anyang before the enemy's reinforcements arrive. "
As he said this, his eyes fell on the Anyang city wall in the distance. Then he said softly: "Send a telegram to the military to request air fire support. Before our attack begins, we hope that the air force's aerial bombs can blow a few holes in the city walls to the south and east of Anyang."
"Yes! Master." After his chief of staff finished speaking, he turned around and sent a telegram to Xia Yang.
At this time, Xia Yang was on the way to Xinxiang. Although their advancement speed was not as fast as that of the First Armored Division, they relied on their powerful artillery, cavalry, and armor assigned to the Third Division to advance to a distance of less than 15 meters from the urban area of ??Xinxiang. kilometers.
The gun towers, strongholds and other facilities set up by the Japanese army on the periphery hardly posed any major hindrance to them.
Because these gun towers and strongholds were designed a long time ago and are generally used to block the movement routes of the guerrillas. But facing the large-caliber artillery of Xia Yang's Fourth Army, there was no resistance.
When Xia Yang's troops advanced, they often bombarded these strongholds with heavy artillery.
Inside the stronghold, the Japanese soldiers who wanted to fight to the death were bombarded by intensive artillery fire and buried under the collapsed turrets without even waiting for the enemy's charge.
As for Xia Yang and his infantry troops, their more important task was to clean up the remaining bricks and tiles of these gun towers and recover all the Japanese equipment inside.
"Military seat, Master Liu's side plans to launch an attack on Anyang in the afternoon. At this time, they are removing the enemy's strongholds on the periphery." Xiao Yuebing ran over and said to Xia Yang.
Xia Yang took the telegram over and said, "Tell Liu Changlong that the Air Force's bomber formation can provide fire support to them at any time.
When the time comes, they will provide ground guidance to prevent air force bombers from accidentally bombing residential areas in Anyang. If ordinary people suffer casualties, that is something we do not want to see. "
"yes!!"
In front of them, the sound of artillery was heard again. Their troops began to attack the Japanese defensive positions again.
In ??For more than half a year, the Japanese army also completed a lot of defensive construction in the northern Henan area.
But Xia Yang¡¯s intelligence system can be said to be pervasive. These Japanese defense facilities and many of the architectural structures inside them were already known to Xia Yang.
Xia Yang even built a one-to-one fortification similar to the Japanese defense positions in the Chahar area.
Their artillery units also conducted repeated drills, and even the infantry units and armored units were studying the breaching and destruction of various Japanese defenses.
This allowed their troops to have a thorough grasp of the various fortification structures of the Japanese army before they formally engaged the Japanese army.
Although the Japanese soldiers stationed in the fortifications were very stubborn in their will to resist. But facing the attack of Xia Yang's soldiers, there was always a feeling that all their tactics and firepower network arrangements were known to the enemy in advance.
Moreover, the enemy¡¯s attack tactics are endless, making it difficult for them to guard against them.
Especially when it comes to the Japanese defense at peripheral strongholds, the number of people at each stronghold is not large. Even for a larger stronghold, it only has the strength of a squadron.
On Xia Yang¡¯s side, thousands of people often arrive quickly, forming an absolute strength advantage in local areas, and then attack the Japanese army.
After this, the Japanese fortifications that could not be destroyed by artillery were turned into ruins under such uninterrupted siege.
