    Under his order, the defensive positions deployed by the Japanese 122nd Division on the periphery began to shrink.

    A large number of unnecessary defensive positions arranged on the periphery began to shrink to some of their core positions at this time.

    The purpose of this is to prevent some of their troops deployed on the periphery from being defeated one by one by the enemy's concentrated superior forces.

    The troops led by Hao Shiwen had already begun to do this.

    Some Japanese squadrons outside, and even the defensive positions of a certain brigade, have become their targets.

    Under such encroachment, the Japanese army had lost five or six of its peripheral positions in just a few hours.

    The movements of the Japanese army were quickly conveyed to Hao Shiwen.

    ¡°Report, Chief of Staff, the little devils on the opposite side are making some noise and they want to shrink their troops.

    And the little devils on many positions began to move.

    It seems that the direction in which they are retreating is towards larger forces.  "

    Hearing this, Hao Shiwen lit a cigarette, looked at the map and said: "There is a capable person among the little devils opposite.

    They must have noticed something. The Japanese troops who originally wanted to cooperate with the other two divisions to counterattack, now turned out to be cowards.

    It seems that there is no need for us to continue this scene. Let¡¯s start the attack.  "

    Hao Shiwen said.

    In the past few hours, their troops hiding in the periphery have removed several Japanese peripheral positions, forming a situation of encirclement of the Japanese 122nd Division.

    Not only that, they also built blocking positions on the periphery.

    And in the first wave of confrontations with enemy reinforcements, their blocking troops performed well.

    This made Hao Shiwen more confident in fighting this battle of annihilation.

    If there are no accidents, he is confident that he will completely break through the enemy's main Japanese position tonight, and at the same time successfully complete the blocking mission against other Japanese troops on the periphery.

    After they annihilate the Japanese 122nd Division, they will be able to free up their hands to attack other Japanese divisions on the periphery.

    Of course, this is the goal later.

    Now, Hao Shiwen and his soldiers have only one thing to do, and that is to complete the mission of annihilation of the Japanese 122nd Division in front of them at this time.

    "Order the troops to start a general attack immediately.

    Our two howitzer regiments at the back no longer need to hide and tuck in. Together with our howitzer regiment in Langfang City, they will first launch the most violent bombardment on the Japanese positions in front of us, and then launch fierce bombardments on the Japanese positions in other directions.  .

    All troops participating in the attack must launch a fierce charge against the Japanese positions after the bombardment is completed, striving to eliminate all Japanese troops in this area before dawn.

    Even if the enemy cannot be eliminated, the 122nd Division must be defeated until it loses its organization and armor.  "

    "yes!!!"

    With the issuance of Hao Shiwen's order, their originally slow-moving offensive force now began to enter a real fighting state.

    The two howitzer regiments, which had been hiding behind and had not launched active artillery attacks on the Japanese army, also pulled out their large-caliber howitzers and aimed them at the Japanese defensive positions.

    Together with other attached artillery, more than a hundred artillery pieces, and countless attached ammunition, they are all ready for battle.

    The Japanese soldiers are still on the defense line, waiting for the enemy's attack on the opposite side.

    The two previous charges made by Hao Shiwen's armored troops against them were repelled by them.

    This gave the Japanese soldiers and commanders stationed here the confidence to deal with the tanks of the Fourth Army.

    They felt that the Japanese troops that had been wiped out before had mythologized the tanks and armored vehicles on the opposite side.

    As long as they rely on a solid defense line, the armored forces on the opposite side are not invincible.

    With this idea in mind, they prepared for the next stage of combat.

    But at this moment, bursts of whistling sounds came over.

    These sounds are very familiar to the Japanese army. Before the enemy attacks, they will call their artillery units to bombard them.

    It¡¯s just that the enemy¡¯s artillery firepower seems to be very lacking, although every falling shell carries unparalleled power.

    But these shells?The number is not large, and even the number of artillery shells falling on their positions is becoming less and less.

    Originally the enemy's artillery would carry out ten rounds of bombing, but now the bombing often only takes four or five rounds.

    However, the Japanese soldiers realized that this time the enemy's bombardment would be the same as the bombardment they had encountered before.

    The whistling sound became increasingly sharp.

    The next moment, hundreds of artillery shells hit the Japanese position at the same time.

    ¡°Boom!!!!¡±

    That sound was simply unprecedented for the Japanese soldiers.

    This time it was three howitzer regiments, as well as other small and medium-caliber artillery, and even mortars, which simultaneously carried out fierce bombing on the Japanese positions.

    The intensity of the bombing was five times or even more than the previous bombing.

    Those Japanese soldiers hiding in trenches and air-raid shelters never thought that the enemy bombardment on the opposite side would become so fierce.

    Many Japanese troops hiding in the trenches had no time to react before they were blown to pieces by the shells that fell around them.

    Then the shattered bodies of these Japanese soldiers would be carried to other places by the shock wave, or the upward force generated by the explosion would be thrown up to an altitude of tens of meters, and then mix with the blackened scorched earth.  They fell together with a crash.

    Seeing this scene, the Japanese soldiers stationed there were also aware of the enemy's firepower on the opposite side. They might have been confusing them before.

    This time is the real attack, this time is the real artillery bombardment.

    The defensive positions originally built by the Japanese army were no longer able to withstand this intensity of bombing.

    Under the bombardment of countless artillery shells, the Japanese troops in the front began to suffer a large number of casualties.

    Among these casualties, some were directly killed by artillery shells, others were buried alive in the ground after the shells collapsed the hollows they were in, and still others lost their lives after their internal organs were shattered by the shock wave of the bombs.  .

    No matter which one it is, the combined artillery firepower of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army at this moment has exceeded the imagination of the Japanese army.

    Shirai Matsushita was inside the headquarters. When he heard the earth-shattering sound of artillery outside, he saw the night sky in the distance dyed red by the explosion fire.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
