They don¡¯t want to die in vain here. They have no value at all. They are just living targets for the enemy¡¯s shelling on the opposite side.
The moment Qiu Guoping issued the order, all the artillery that could attack the Japanese troops roared at this moment.
The Japanese troops attacking from multiple directions were covered by artillery fire almost at the same time.
These artillery fire coverage are very layered.
Their mortars, mountain artillery and other artillery with a relatively short range will directly bomb the charging Japanese troops. As for those field artillery with a longer range and a large number of howitzers, they will attack the fire support troops in the rear of the Japanese army. .
At the moment when hundreds of artillery pieces roared, a large number of artillery shells covered the Japanese formation charging forward at the same time.
¡°Boom, boom!!!!¡±
It was like thunder, suddenly rising from the horizon. The moment a large number of artillery shells landed, the loud sound that shook the earth broke out, which almost shattered the internal organs of the Japanese soldiers in the shelling range.
There were also a large number of Japanese soldiers who were directly hit by these shells.
"Boom!!!!" Amidst the loud noise, these Japanese soldiers would be directly torn apart by the flying shells, and their extremely fragile bodies were torn apart. There were also many Japanese soldiers, although they were not directly hit by the fragments. Tear their bodies apart, but the huge shock wave will shatter their internal organs, causing them to die bit by bit in the next few days.
For these Japanese soldiers, the despair and pain they will have to endure in the next few days far exceeds those of the Japanese soldiers who were directly killed at this time.
When they get there, they may envy the Japanese soldiers who were directly blown away by the enemy's shells at this moment.
¡°At least, these Japanese soldiers could not even feel the pain at the moment of death.
Not only that, but at this moment, in another direction, attacks against the Japanese army were also approaching them.
This direction is above their heads, which is the air force of the Fourth Army.
They have already completed the dispatching. After providing fire support to the southern battlefield, they flew long distances to support the Fourth Army troops on the northern battlefield.
These bombers and fighter jets are flying at an altitude of several thousand meters. They will not lower their flying altitude before arriving at the battlefield.
The Japanese air defense troops have actually discovered their location a long time ago, but the anti-aircraft artillery of these Japanese soldiers cannot shoot to such a height. Only a very small number of new anti-aircraft artillery can do this.
While the Japanese soldiers were still being bombarded by the artillery units of the Fourth Army, the bombers and fighter jets of the Fourth Army were also flying over their heads.
However, the targets of these fighter jets and bombers were not the Japanese troops at the front, but the area identified as the location of the Japanese military headquarters by the intelligence department of the Fourth Army.
There are also some Japanese camps, warehouses, and Japanese artillery positions in the rear, etc. These are their key bombing targets.
Bai Rihui looked at the Japanese troops in front. They had suffered heavy casualties during the fierce bombing. The corpses of Japanese soldiers could be seen everywhere, as well as broken arms or other parts of their limbs scattered in this area. On a battlefield full of blood.
"It's really interesting. After we had the support of the artillery unit, the little devils on the opposite side couldn't even get close to us."
Bai Rihui said.
"It's better to have artillery. I think back then when we were on the battlefield, we were bombarded by the artillery shells of the little Japanese on the opposite side. Basically, we didn't even see the little Japanese on the opposite side. A large number of them died in the trenches."
A veteran next to him said.
Now they don¡¯t need to shoot. The little devils on the opposite side can¡¯t get through the fire network established by mortars, mountain cannons, and a large number of rocket nests.
The Japanese reserve force suffered more than one-third casualties in less than fifteen minutes after entering the attack.
As for the next bombing, it will continue. These Japanese soldiers never imagined that they would encounter such ferocious firepower.
At least these soldiers of the Kwantung Army have never had a direct confrontation with the troops of the Fourth Army. The troops they faced before were all Chinese anti-alliance guerrillas. Although those enemies had a very tenacious will to fight, they did not. There are too many advanced weapons to pose any fatal threat to them.
But this time is different. The enemy on the opposite side is not only very organized when letting go, but also has sophisticated weapon configurations and extremely fierce fire support.
Even the Japanese troops in the front could clearly hear the roar of those fighter jets and bombers.
Many headquarters of the Japanese army chose to temporarily relocate their positions amid such fierce bombing.
They also don¡¯t know why the enemy on the opposite side can accurately find the location of their headquarters.
Perhaps the number of enemy bombers and fighter jets is large enough to attack a large number of discovered military targets at the same time.
With this thought in mind, the Japanese commanders began to take their troops and try to leave this area.
And the sudden chaos in the rear command headquarters caused problems in their command of the troops in the front.
The Japanese troops, who were already in a bit of confusion and unable to continue their attack, were unable to continue advancing under such fierce artillery bombardment.
As for the Japanese troops in the rear, they temporarily chose to retreat, leaving their troops in front there.
The Japanese troops in the front are also requesting the artillery in the rear to provide them with certain fire support.
But at this time, the Japanese artillery positions were also being bombarded by the enemy on the opposite side.
Such intensive bombing made it impossible for the Japanese artillery to complete the layout of their positions. They could only drag their artillery and move constantly to avoid the aerial bombardment of the fourth army on the opposite side.
But this kind of evasive combat actually doesn't have much effect.
This is the effect that the Fourth Army wants. Even if they cannot kill all your artillery, they must prevent these Japanese artillery from playing their due role in the offensive and defensive operations of both sides.
It has to be said that the aerial firepower of the Fourth Army has already achieved this goal.
The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were no longer able to receive fire support from the rear. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
