They detoured from the flanks and bypassed the Japanese camps densely arranged in the front.
It wasn¡¯t until around one o¡¯clock in the middle of the night that Chang Liansheng and the others arrived at the Japanese rear positions.
The soldiers of the special reconnaissance battalion had previously marked out the Japanese artillery positions for them.
These Japanese artillerymen are very thieves. When they are bombarding, they will concentrate their artillery and bombard the two positions in front. But after their bombardment is over, they will immediately disperse their artillery to avoid the Fourth Army's air attacks to the greatest extent. Possible bombing of troops.
However, at night, they did not have to worry about this, so they concentrated their artillery on one position, planning to wait until dawn tomorrow to pour their artillery shells as quickly as possible onto the defensive positions of the four armies ahead. .
Chang Liansheng used an infrared night vision device to observe the defense of the Japanese artillery position. After a while, he said to the soldiers around him: "Order the first company, the second company, and the third company to detour from the flanks and take down the little Japanese machine gun position.
The fourth company, fifth company, and sixth company are engaged in frontal assault. The remaining four companies serve as mobile forces and are ready for orders at any time. "
"yes!!"
He responded in a low voice and began to deliver Chang Liansheng's orders.
This artillery position of the Japanese army is quite large, with the artillery firepower of a whole regiment concentrated here.
Arranged on the position are not only small-caliber mountain artillery and field artillery, but also large-caliber heavy howitzers.
Those thirty-odd howitzers pose a great threat to the Fourth Army.
Many defenses on the position were destroyed by these howitzers. As for those field artillery and mountain artillery, they actually did not pose much of a threat to the defensive positions of the Fourth Army.
After receiving the order, their soldiers immediately began to take action in the darkness.
The defense inside the Japanese artillery camp was much looser than that of the frontline troops.
Originally, they were worried that they would suffer artillery counterattacks from the Fourth Army or bombings from the air force.
However, they did not suffer any attacks in the past two days, which caused the Japanese artillery regiment soldiers to relax their vigilance.
Above their camp, you can still see some bright lights, shining with amber light in the misty spring rain.
Several Japanese sentries, wearing black raincoats, stood under the light, smoking cigarettes and chatting.
"It's really strange. Our artillery bombarded us so intensively that the infantry and armored troops on the front line were still unable to knock down the enemy's positions."
At this time, the Japanese squad leader on the side said: "I heard that it was because the enemy's artillery fire counterattack in front was also very fierce, which made it impossible for our large forces to advance to the front of the enemy's position. Moreover, the enemy's air force, Also concentrate your firepower on the charging troops."
"It turns out that this is the case. I asked the enemy's air force, why don't they bomb us? It turns out that they put all their energy on how to deal with our infantry units."
As the soldier spoke, he took a puff from his cigarette, and the smoke rings he exhaled were dense under the light.
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from a distance.
A very vigilant sentry immediately pulled the bolt of his gun and shouted in the direction of the sound: "Who, come out!!"
Hearing this, the other sentries also became alert.
Although they are at the rear of the large army, it is basically impossible for them to be attacked by the enemy.
But this was a battlefield after all, and their nerves immediately became tense.
But at this moment, a rocket trailing a red tail flame suddenly shot out from the front.
Those Japanese soldiers gathered together did not even have a chance to react. The rocket hit one of them and exploded.
¡°Boom!!¡±
The impact of the rocket explosion and the flying shrapnel immediately caused huge damage to other Japanese soldiers.
For a time, the sound of wailing and screaming echoed on the Japanese army's position.
In the darkness, the kamikaze soldiers suddenly rushed out, charging and firing at the Japanese camp, or throwing grenades.
Under such a fierce attack, the Japanese soldiers resting in the camp were sent directly to another world before they even had time to open their eyes.
At this time, the machine guns on the Japanese machine gun position also began to roar.
?However, the machine guns above were not directed at the soldiers of the Fourth Army's death squads, but at another Japanese camp.
Behind the machine gun are members of the Fourth Army¡¯s death squads, and beside them are the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
Before the battle officially started, these Japanese soldiers were separated by the death squads and turned into corpses on the ground.
The Japanese soldiers resting in the camp woke up from their sleep when they heard the fierce gunshots and explosions, got up one after another, and rushed out of the camp.
But as soon as they rush out, they will face a torrential rain of bullets and explosives that keep falling around them.
The captain of the Japanese artillery regiment rushed out of his headquarters and moved to a safer place under the escort of soldiers.
Many of the Japanese artillerymen were not equipped with rifles. They originally needed to rely on the protection of the infantry at the front. Now that we are suddenly attacked by the enemy, there is no very effective way to respond.
In the first ten minutes of the attack, hundreds of them had been killed by the death squads, and as for the injured Japanese soldiers, there were even countless more.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came.
But it was a warehouse where the Japanese army stored artillery shells, which was directly detonated.
The shells inside exploded in succession. In a very short period of time, the huge force released directly caused the surrounding Japanese soldiers and the death squads of the Fourth Army to be knocked to the ground by the shock wave.
¡°It¡¯s over!! It¡¯s all over!!¡±
Their commander sat there in disbelief, looking at the huge mushroom cloud rising.
At this moment, bursts of explosions came from his side again.
That¡¯s where the Japanese artillery was placed, and now it¡¯s also beginning to be attacked by death squads from the Fourth Army.
Hand grenades were stuffed directly into the barrels of Japanese artillery by these soldiers, or thrown into the gun machine.
¡°Boom boom!!¡±
Amid the bursts of explosions, one after another Japanese artillery pieces were ruthlessly destroyed by the four armies.
The sudden explosion from behind caused Guderian and Yoshijiro Kozu to rush out of their headquarters. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
