"According to intelligence, the two divisions of the Little Devil have a lot of cavalry and chariot troops.
I guess that if they want to bypass our army's flanks and rear, they will definitely use chariots and cavalry.
We can deploy anti-tank flat-fire guns and individual rocket launchers to the garrison troops on the flanks and rear of Anyang. "
Li Yunlong said.
Kong Jie said: "I agree, now we are rich. There are a lot of these rocket launchers and artillery. Even if we transfer some of them and concentrate them on the sides and rear, we can still leave a lot on the front.
¡°Besides, we also have the air fire support promised by Commander Xia. Lao Kong, I would like to see what it feels like for this Air Force bomber formation to provide us with support. "
As he spoke, he took a few puffs of the pipe.
Ten kilometers north of Anyang city, the independent regiment's defense line here has been established early.
This is a village near the highway, very close to Xingtai.
The Japanese artillery firepower can even hit their positions directly.
Second Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao, with the soldiers of the Second Battalion, is making final reinforcements and adjustments to the firepower configuration of the defense fortifications and positions.
With the help of the local people in Anyang and the guerrillas, their Second Battalion built a trench defense line with a width of more than three kilometers in a short period of time.
Zhang Dabiao¡¯s second battalion, although in terms of organization, is only one battalion.
But its actual distribution of troops is no different from that of a regiment.
There are fully ten companies under him. There are also specialized mortar teams and flexible machine gun platoons. Even the flat-firing cannon, they were equipped with three.
¡°Coupled with the several guerrilla units assigned to him, the actual strength of the Second Battalion was more than 1,500 people.
Zhang Dabiao held a telescope and looked at the advancing Japanese front in the distance, knowing that the Japanese attack was about to begin.
In fact, yesterday evening, the Japanese army had already launched a round of artillery bombardment on their position.
But this round of artillery fire by the Japanese army lasted only a short time. It was not to cover the infantry attack, but to correct the ballistic trajectory.
In response, Zhang Dabiao also asked his mortar company to fire a round of shells in the direction of the Jaap's station. It can be regarded as courtesy.
Zhang Dabiao¡¯s second battalion is their first line of defense in Anyang. It is necessary to withstand the first wave of Japanese offensive on the front.
Behind him, there are three battalions of the independent regiment, with a strength of nearly 3,000 people. As troops to support them.
Of course, if the Second Battalion¡¯s position is breached by the Japanese, their second line of defense will be three kilometers back. Even further back, the third line of defense, the fourth line of defense
This layer-by-layer blocking method can consume the Japanese army to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can also delay the Japanese attack to the greatest extent.
"As for the Japanese army, they actually did not intend to put the decisive move in front of them.
Their target is Anyang¡¯s side. Cutting off the side and back of Anyang, the two Japanese divisions were enough to form an encirclement of Anyang City.
When the time comes, they can attack from all sides, leaving Li Yunlong and Kong Jie in a very passive position.
By that time, it is not impossible to capture Anyang City in five days.
After capturing Anyang City, they can take advantage of the situation and move south, attack Hebi, and then attack Xinxiang, putting the entire Fourth Army in northern Henan into a passive position.
By then, the Japanese troops in the east of Hebi will attack Xinxiang, and it will be only a matter of time before northern Henan is recovered.
"Battal Commander, the Japs' reconnaissance troops are beginning to approach our position." A soldier ran over and said.
The commander of the second battalion said: "I saw it. They are the artillery scouts of the Japs. They are probably marking our firepower points so that their artillery can bombard them."
With that said, Zhang Dabiao turned around and said, "Tell the brothers to stay hidden. Be prepared for battle. The Japs are about to attack."
"yes!!"
The entire Second Battalion position immediately entered combat status after receiving the order.
The recruits hid in the trenches one after another, sticking their heads out and looking at the horizon in the distance.
On the other hand, the veterans of the Eighth Route Army were very calm. They hid in the cat-ear holes on the inside of the trench, smoking cigarettes and watching those curious?'s new recruits.
"I would like to advise you, if you want to survive, just stay in this cave. Don't think of hiding until the Japanese's shell hits your face. You may not even be able to find an air-raid shelter by then."
A veteran said and took a long drag on his cigarette.
These cigarettes were airdropped by Xia Yang from a transport plane. Because the quantity is relatively large, many soldiers can now have one box per person.
"Don't be afraid, we have the helmet given by Commander Xia." A sneaky recruit patted the helmet on his head and said.
The veteran said: "When the artillery shells hit, the helmet just blocked fragments or something. How did you get blown away, or how did you get blown away."
Just as he was talking, their company commander shouted: "Recruits, don't fucking look outside, the kid's artillery is about to bombard us."
Then, he began to pat the helmets of the new recruits one by one, and asked them to get into the cat-ear holes in the trench.
Sure enough, just as their company commander said, the Japanese artillery scouts had retreated.
At the same time, the firepower points marked on the position have been determined. The Japanese artillery bombardment was ready.
This time, the artillery firepower actually assembled by the two Japanese divisions was more than just the artillery of the two divisions. Instead, it also provided artillery fire support with several other divisions.
After receiving the coordinate data, hundreds of artillery pieces of various types began to adjust their firing positions and prepare to bombard the Second Battalion's position.
Hundreds of artillery pieces have their muzzles pointed upward. With just one order, these hundreds of artillery pieces would pour shells onto the Second Battalion's position.
Ichiro Kuroki stared at the Second Battalion's position with a telescope, his lips slightly grinning under his thick beard. Showing his teeth that were slightly yellowed by cigarette smoke.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the artillery is ready. Our aviation force is also ready for combat. Please issue an order."
A Japanese army staff officer said.
"Order the artillery to bombard immediately! The 31st Infantry Brigade is ready to launch an attack." Kuroki Ichiro said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
"Hai!!!"
The Japanese staff officer roared and conveyed his order.
"Prepare for bombardment!!!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
