Chapter 252 Attacking Yangquan

Headquarters.

combat conference room,
A conversation came from inside the door.

"The little devil is going to make a move?"

"Correct."

"According to intelligence, the devils have mobilized three divisions this time, with a strength of about 100 troops, two heavy artillery regiments, a heavy artillery brigade, an armored regiment, and more than [-] aircraft, preparing to open up the Zhengtai line. Puxian, rescue the First Army."

"Hehe, what a great deal!"

"Well, it's really a big deal."

"But also a big fish."

"Haha, yes, a big fish."

"When will the devil make a move?"

"According to the analysis of the devil's material dispatch, the attack will start around mid-May."

"Mid-May..."

"It's too late!"

"Haha, yes."

···
Yangquan.

boom··

A 150-kilogram shell fell on the city wall. The fortress, which was originally indestructible and could withstand direct fire from 75mm artillery, instantly turned into debris and scattered all over the place.

boom··

Then another shell fell,
This time it missed and missed, leaving only a huge crater in front of the city wall.

With an interval of five or six kilometers, even the tulip heavy artillery produced in the 60s has a system technology bonus, but in the era when there is no laser terminal guidance for shells, it is very difficult to hit accurately.

Let alone a novice control.

but,
Third shot, fourth shot, fifth shot...

The precision is not enough, the quantity comes together,
As the shells fell one after another, the devils strengthened the fortifications for nearly a year, and finally became ruins.The entire outlying position of Yangquan, as well as the city wall fortifications, were all reduced to ruins.

"My lords"

"The time has come to sacrifice the jade pieces for the empire and for the locust."

"We're going to be in Yangquan City..."

In the city, the devils are making the final mobilization.

Although the Battle of Stalingrad has not yet happened, the cruelty of street fighting has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Not long ago, the Madrid City Station was the object of study for every officer.

The officer in charge of commanding the Yangquan devils naturally knew it well.

Therefore, he planned to use Yangquan's complex street terrain to weaken the artillery advantage of the Eighth Route Army, give full play to the strength of the Imperial Army's strength in hand-to-hand combat, and inflict tragic casualties on the Eighth Route Army.

Buy time for reinforcements.

"Hi."

"Long live His Majesty the Locust!"

The ghost soldiers wearing plaster flags were hysterical.

···
"Outside Yangquan City, all the fortifications have been destroyed."

North Review, Gangmura Ningji is preparing to attack.

In this battle, the enemy is stronger than ever. It will be the most difficult battle for the North China Front Army since its establishment. In order to ensure victory, he needs to be fully prepared.

Logistics material scheduling and transportation, reserve soldiers, etc.,
Do it yourself.

No. 15 days before launching the offensive, Okamura Ningji received a message from the front.

Yangquan, all peripheral fortifications were destroyed.

"Yangquan."

Gangcun Ningci glanced at Yangquan on the map.

He was thinking, how long can Yangquan last?

Although Yangquan is not as good as Taiyuan, thanks to the construction of Zhengtai Line, it has developed rapidly. It is also a big city with complex buildings and many streets, suitable for street fighting.

Moreover, after several months of stationing, the imperial army trapped in Yangquan built a large number of fortifications and underground tunnels.

Admittedly,

The firepower of the Tuba Road is extremely powerful, but the artillery's effect on street fighting will be greatly weakened, and even complicated tunnels will be destroyed or even captured.

Although, in terms of light firepower, Tuba Road also has an absolute advantage. Submachine guns, machine guns, grenades, flamethrowers, etc., have far better firepower than the locust army.

In street fighting, there is a high demand for light firepower, especially submachine guns, which will have an advantage when fighting alone. In this regard, the [-]-style rifle of the imperial army is not suitable for street fighting.

But Tuba Road's biggest problem is the large number of recruits.

Lack of combat experience.

Especially the brutal street fighting.

The imperial army stationed in Yangquan are all elite troops who have participated in many battles and have a strong will to fight.

Coupled with sufficient ammunition reserves and sufficient food,
so··

"Unless the Tuba Road launches an attack regardless of the cost and spends a lot of troops, it will not be a problem to persist for more than a month."

Neiji Okamura came to a conclusion.

He has studied the recent battles. Since the Tuba Road was equipped, the troops have expanded on a large scale, and the quality of the soldiers has declined rapidly. Therefore, he has always paid attention to battle casualties, and there are few large-scale storms.

It's all about solving problems with firepower.

In the battle against the Zhengtai Line and the Tongpu Line a few months ago, before the firepower of the locust army was completely wiped out, they tried to avoid launching a charge as much as possible.

even,

Often in battle, even if the artillery had already suppressed the firepower of the imperial army, they would only attack after destroying it with flat-fire artillery.

after all,

A force that lacks actual combat experience will cause great casualties if it attacks violently, and it will also have a serious impact on morale.

In this mode of combat...

in time!
"More than 1 imperial troops in Yangquan can be rescued."

Ningji Gangmura breathed a sigh of relief.

although,

When his reinforcements arrived, the Yangquan garrison must have been less than 8000, and it would be very good to have [-] to [-] people.
After all, the firepower of Tuba Road is fierce, even if they fight slowly, the locust army will inevitably pay a heavy price in half a month.

but,

least least

Half, more than 5000 people should still be rescued, right?

···
the other side.

"Yangquan is at the end."

Yoshio Shinozuka also received a telegram from Yangquan.

"There are still twelve days."

Kazuki Yamamoto spit out a time.

This is the time when the North China Front Army is preparing to launch an attack, break through the Zhengtai Line and Tongpu Line, and rescue the First Army.

"Is it in time?"

Shinozuka Yoshio's tone seemed to be asking and answering himself, and it seemed to be asking Yamamoto.

"It's definitely too late."

Yamamoto answered without hesitation.

General Gangcun doesn't know, but they still don't know?
Over the past year, although the military strength of the Tuba Road has greatly expanded, the military quality of the soldiers has dropped significantly, the officers at the grassroots level have been seriously insufficient, and the combat effectiveness of the troops has seriously declined.

In order to avoid mass casualties, it is possible to avoid tough battles, vicious battles, and always resolve battles with firepower superiority.

But it doesn't mean they can't fight tough battles!
Although the military strength is greatly expanded,

But those backbone veterans, at the beginning of the war, and even the elite backbone veterans who experienced the longest transfer and retreat of thousands of miles, all became the grassroots officers of this army.

These people, even Yamamoto, have to admit that they are elite.

It is not inferior to the average level of the first division of the Locust Army, and even surpasses the elite.

The grassroots officers and cadres of an army are the soul of an army, representing the future style and combat effectiveness of this army.

The reason why the locust army is tough and strong, with brave morale, and can often fight to the last person, is mostly because of the existence of this kind of army, a kind of grassroots officer who has the spirit of bushido.

It won't take long for Tubalu to return to the level it was at the beginning of the war.

A unit capable of fighting tough battles and bloody battles.

even stronger.

Much more powerful.

Because they are already a force with weapons and equipment far superior to the locust army.

There are already signs that this army has aircraft, and Yangquan has super siege artillery, so it is time for long-range cannons to come out.

"Strengthen the fortifications in the city."

Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head and said:

"Be prepared that the reinforcements will not arrive."

···
at the same time.

Outside Yangquan City,

The [-]th Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

"Check the ammo."

The battalion commander's tone was cold and firm:

"The front is Yangquan, and there are more than 1 devils inside."

"They are hiding in the ruins and underground. Our mission is to destroy them."

"Eliminate every devil."

"Everyone cheers me up."

"After entering the street, walk along the wall, each class pays attention to cooperation, and yells at me when something happens."

"If you find a dangerous target, greet with firepower first, and if you encounter a strong fortification, call for artillery support."

"attack!"

Beside the 771th Battalion of the Independent Regiment, the [-]st Regiment also entered Yangquan at the same time.

Admittedly,

For a long time, the army has taken into account that a large number of recruits have joined the army, lack of combat experience, new weapons have entered the army, and they cannot yet exert their combat effectiveness, so they have taken the initiative to avoid tough and vicious battles.

But this does not mean that the troops cannot fight tough and vicious battles.

It's just not necessary.

Now··
The devil's 1 army is about to launch an attack. At this time, leaving more than [-] Yangquan defenders will greatly increase the difficulty of defense.

So, it's time to let the devil know,

What kind of army is the Eighth Route Army?

"attack."

The head of the 771 regiment waved his hand, holding a submachine gun, wearing a steel helmet, and a Kevlar inner bulletproof steel plate on his chest, and personally led the team to attack Yangquan.

···
Also at the same time.

"How long will it take to take down Yangquan?"

The brigade headquarters' phone was directly connected to the Yangquan frontline headquarters, and the brigade commander's clear voice was in the microphone.

"Five days."

The political commissar of the 771 regiment was full of confidence.

"it is good!"
