large ballistics

Chapter 479
After gaining a firm foothold, the troops of the three armies did not intend to stop the pace of attack, and ate dry food to replenish their strength while preparing for the next attack.

After crossing the river, each of the three armies marched forward.

The first brigade in charge of taking the lead in front of the Tenth Army, in an unfamiliar devil stronghold, brigade personnel are counting valuables in this stronghold, Chen Tinghe, Li Chong, the chief of staff and the three regiment leaders are surrounded by just seized from here in front of a map.

Although I don't know the Japanese marked, but the map is generally recognizable, and there are two swords, Li Chong, who barely speak Japanese.

"The devil can still do homework on this picture."

The map unfolded, and everyone sighed.The meticulousness of the devils can be seen. In the Whampoa Military Academy, the maps made by the devils are also the learning reference objects of the Whampoa officers.

After taking a closer look, the map shows the 30-kilometer-deep defense line on the Devil's side of the Xinqiang River. With this map, everyone can see at a glance how many lines are [-] kilometers ahead.

Chen Tinghe looked at the map and said, "The Minister's Department requires our armed forces to advance at least another 3000 kilometers, and we must take Xinqiang Town by tomorrow morning, so that we have enough time to deal with the Japanese army that may return. Now the remaining more than [-] devils are basically gone. We are ready inside and outside Xinqiang Town, and the devils are prepared, so it depends on our ability to attack from the front."

"When it comes to attacking large county towns, we still lack favorable siege weapons, but a new wall town can't stop the strength of our three elite armies."

"The three armies attacked from the left, middle and right. We are confident to win this battle!"

"Brigadier, let my regiment take the lead."

After listening to Chen Tinghe's words, although it is necessary to break through the more than [-] kilometers of positions guarded by [-] devils and Xinqiang Town by tomorrow morning, this task may be a bit difficult for a certain division or army to come alone in normal times, but right now it is It's not worth mentioning, because in front of the three direct descendants of the three central armies who are the most proficient in the nine war zones, if they can't even take down the three thousand devils, then everyone can only go to the Miluo River and jump in a row.

With the three armies advancing side by side, what is placed in front of the three regiment leaders is whoever hits Xinqiang Town first will win the first prize.

Chen Tinghe looked at the map, then pointed to it and said, "If we can reduce some losses, we still need to reduce some. Since our brigade takes the lead, it must be beautiful. The 412 regiment followed the gap between the two fronts, interspersed Go to the right side of this line, and the two of you will put all the machine guns of the two regiments in front, and rush up from this side, so that the devils can resist with all their strength and have no time to take care of the right! At that time, the devils in the direction of attack we are responsible for will not be able to take care of the front and rear !"

Those who can achieve the position of brigade commander of the direct line of the Central Army can choose one of the many offensive plans that is beneficial to them, and use the regiment as the basic combat unit to command. This is the first time Li Chong has experienced this kind of attack in front of a big battle. The feeling of deploying groups one by one.

After the attack horn sounded again, the three-way army was mighty.

In the attacking direction of the Tenth Army, whenever the First Brigade opened a gap in the defensive line, the entire following Tenth Army units would spread along the gap to both sides, and finally smashed the entire road. front.

All the way down, the [-]-kilometer deep front of the devils was swooped by the three elite troops, like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. At dusk, the three troops completely drove the devils into Xinqiang Town.

This is a battle without the interference of some planes overhead. Most of the air force under the 11th Army is currently engaged in the attack on Yichang, and the dive of a few planes is powerless to change the overall situation on the ground at this moment.

For Sonobe Kaichiro, the new commander of the 11th Army, the onslaught of the three Chongqing reorganized troops crossing the Xinqiang River was beyond his expectations.

In preparation, many of them did not think that the Chongqing Army dared to take the initiative to launch an attack. Except for the "winter offensive" initiated by Chongqing, the officers who are as proud as the 11th Army have never been actively attacked by the Chongqing Army. It was also the reason why they boldly deployed troops from the Ninth Theater to enter the Fifth Theater to participate in the battle.

But right now, the Chongqing Army in the Ninth War Zone directly crossed the Xinqiang River, directly compressing its own front by 11 kilometers, which made the Japanese [-]th Army headquarters at the moment very busy.

"Baga, Xue from Changsha will only take advantage of others' danger."

Sonobe and Ichiro slapped the telegram on the table. The battle to attack Yichang has entered a critical moment, and even if they want to return to Xinqiang Town, it will be too late.

"Order the captain of Shanmu United to temporarily abandon Xinqiang Town."

Since it was too late to return to aid, Sonobe and Ichiro decided to give up the Xinqianghe position for the time being, and wait until Yichang was taken.

At this moment in Xinqiang Town, the team leader Shan Mu was in the room of the team headquarters in Xinqiang Town, sobbing and playing a cherry blossom song from his hometown, with a sobbing voice.

Xinqiang Town was besieged by the three armies of Chongqing, and there was no order to retreat. The mountains stationed here were already ready to be crushed by the empire.

"Report to the regiment captain, Your Excellency Commander urgently calls!"

The continuous sobbing of the cherry blossom song was suddenly interrupted.

After a while, Shan Mu stood up with a telegram, "Everyone gathers and prepares to break through!"

In the evening, amidst the sound of bombardment, after the devils in Xinqiang Town left more than 500 dead bodies, more than [-] people broke through to the outside of Xinqiang Town, away from the Xinqiang River.

Shanmu's breakout was timely, because the cannons of the three armies were continuously aimed at Xinqiang Town, not to mention that the Tenth Army also bought a batch of Soviet cannons. Although they were not as powerful as the devil's heavy howitzers or cannons, they were still enough to defeat The rats in New Wall Town were blown out.

The cannons of the three armies transported here were originally prepared to wait until seven o'clock in the evening, and after the devil's plane was unable to hover and bomb after dark, they would launch a general attack on Xinqiang Town, but the devil inside chose to break through.

This allowed the three armies to occupy Xinqiang Town without much effort. They rushed and chased for a while, but they didn't pursue very far. If they chased down, they would be directly within the attack range of the Hunan and Yueyang devils. The current situation Under the circumstances, there is not much confidence in attacking an important town like Yueyang, and a buffer zone between the two sides is still needed.

So far, the three armies that have successfully captured Xinqiang Town have successfully advanced their defense line in depth along the Xinqiang River for another [-] kilometers, and completely connected with the front in the Dayun Mountain area. There is another barrier to attack.

The three armies of the Ninth War Zone took the initiative to attack, and the two ace armies took the initiative to attack. The power displayed made the theater commander quite satisfied.

As far as places outside the Ninth War Zone are concerned, although the battle situation at the Xinqianghe forward position is not a big victory, it is rare that a good soldier from the national army is in the second half of May when the battle is raging and the general is killed. good news.

In addition, the Eighth Route Armed Forces led by the Red Party on the North China battlefield broke out their tenacious life resistance under the siege of Okamura. In addition to cooperating with the countryside to fight a beautiful battle to defend the wheat harvest, the authentic mine warfare was published in the newspapers. , In the anti-"mopping up" struggle in the anti-Japanese base areas in Northwest Shanxi, several beautiful raids were also fought.

However, the Red Party’s impressive record does not belong to the Nationalist Party. During the days when they were stationed on the spot, many battlefields outside were under fire, and Chongqing also suffered the worst bombing in 40 years. The advantage of going to the foot of the Pearl Mountain is that in Chongqing City, houses with natural air defense are more expensive than single-family houses in the city.

When the war raged until the first ten days of June, the officers and soldiers outside Changsha City were in daily training, and the struggling Yichang County could not hold on.
