The Japanese commander coughed and asked his men to wear gas masks at the ward door.
But in a bomb shelter, in such a small space, the oxygen is quickly consumed.
And outside the air-raid shelter, the enemy's bombing has not ended yet.
Several batches of bombers carried out repeated bombings against the woods hoarded by the Japanese army.
After three rounds of bombing, the area they bombed began to move toward the back.
This time, the Japanese positions behind the woods were within their bombing range.
The blazing flames spread in the woods. A large number of Japanese soldiers were hiding in air-raid shelters. Due to the lack of oxygen, they turned into groups of huddled corpses.
Before dying, many Japanese soldiers scratched their throats frantically, as if trying to find a little bit of air for them to breathe from the surrounding air.
But the oxygen content in the air was extremely low, leaving only a large amount of carbon dioxide, a large amount of toxic gas emitted from napalm bombs.
During this bombing, many Japanese soldiers were not killed by aerial bombs or burned to death, but were suffocated to death due to lack of oxygen.
Looking at the woods ahead, slowly turning into ruins as they burned, Chen Shiliang's eyes showed no expression.
"Front troops, start advancing."
He gave the order to fight. At this time lin gsh ufan g.c*om Zhang Si
Under Chen Shiliang¡¯s order, the troops of the Fourth Army began to advance toward the woods ahead at this time.
At this time, a large number of trees in the woods have been burned by flames.
However, these trees will grow new branches in the second spring.
Such a flame, for this forest, is just a small fire in the tens of thousands of years they have existed in this area.
But those Japanese soldiers hiding in the forest did not have such good luck.
They will die here, but when spring comes the next year, they will just become a pile of bones and cannot grow back.
The troops of the Fourth Army, protected by armored vehicles, tanks, and trucks, began to advance into the woods ahead.
As for Chen Shiliang's entire army, it was at this time that they began to advance forward.
The Japanese soldiers hiding in the forest crawled out of their trenches and air-raid shelters at this time.
But more Japanese soldiers had been burned alive or died of suffocation in the bombing just now.
There were less than half the number of Japanese soldiers who could continue to crawl out to fight. 强牺 lingshufang.com 读牺
As for the Japanese positions in the rear, they also encountered fierce bombing and were unable to provide support to the woods ahead in a short period of time.
The soldiers of the Fourth Army were advancing forward in the forest.
Although it has been bombed, the basic terrain has not changed.
According to the information provided by the large number of scouts sent by the Fourth Division, they were able to search for some positions where the Japanese army was hiding in this forest.
During the advancement from the front, what surprised the troops of the Fourth Army was that when they advanced from the front, they actually encountered not very big obstacles.
There were only two Japanese positions that provided brief and incomparable resistance to their advance.
It¡¯s just that the two Japanese positions had less than a hundred people in total. They had already attacked these two Japanese positions with just one charge.
The soldiers of the Fourth Army who were inspecting their positions entered their air-raid shelters and saw a large number of Japanese soldiers with their bodies twisted and their faces turned black by gunpowder smoke. They all died of suffocation inside.
Such a result was not too surprising to them.
The Japanese troops were hiding in this forest and needed to be prepared to be attacked by flames.
Chen Shiliang was riding in an armored vehicle, and together with the attacking troops in front of them, they pushed to the other side of the woods without stopping at all.
The Japanese soldiers were hiding in this area, but the previous bombing had done too much damage to them. NowThe number of Japanese soldiers resisting has been greatly reduced.
The remaining Japanese soldiers were barely on their positions, using their rifles and machine guns to block the enemy's attacks from the opposite side.
But the formation of the Fourth Army troops was very tight. Soldiers hid behind armored vehicles, tanks, and armed trucks to guard against the bullets of the Japanese soldiers.
As for the firepower of the Japanese army, it was their armored vehicles and tanks that provided fire suppression, or the large-caliber heavy machine guns installed in the truck compartments, which kept roaring and firing at the Japanese positions.
The infantry of the Fourth Army will shorten the distance from the Japanese positions at this time, and finally rush directly to the Japanese defensive positions together with their tanks and armored vehicles.
Although these Japanese troops have built many positions in this forest, these positions operate independently and are not well connected.
On the contrary, the Fourth Army had marked out a large number of Japanese defensive positions in advance before the attack.
Before the attack began, their troops had already clarified the offensive mission of each unit and the defensive positions to be attacked.
This kind of instruction is even accurate to the companies below, so that the company commander of each company, before entering the woods, already knows the route along which the soldiers he leads will advance and which position they will attack. If Unable to attack, what should be done, etc.
This kind of extremely detailed plan and near-perfect execution were simply unheard of and unseen by the Japanese army.
The strength of a Japanese regiment was divided into countless small pieces by the troops of the Fourth Army.
What the troops of the Fourth Army have to do is to knock down these Japanese positions that are fighting alone one by one, without giving the Japanese troops on the opposite side a chance to resist.
In the distance, Otomo Katsu is trying to restore contact with the Japanese army ahead.
But their phone lines had been directly melted by the high temperature during the violent bombing, and it was no longer possible to connect the phone.
As for the radio station of the Japanese military wing, no matter how many calls are made, there is no response. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
Because the air-raid shelter where the Japanese army's headquarters was located ahead had been bombed just now, all of them died of suffocation.
"Still unable to contact, there may be a problem with the command center."
