Chapter 295 Someone Came Out to Pick Peaches

The main force of the expeditionary army group gathered, but Gao Jianwu did not let them go hand in hand. Instead, he concentrated heavy weapons such as 75mm mountain guns and 92 infantry guns behind the first attack group. The remaining three attack groups only carried mortars and other light weapons. Gao Jianwu shuttled to the designated location on the path pointed out by Gao Jianwu.

In this way, in the observation post secretly set up by the little devil.The expeditionary force had only one attack group, and they were advancing along the main road, and everything appeared flawless. At the headquarters of the two independent mixed brigades responsible for the attack of the little devil, they lurked to the designated location according to the prior plan.

Prepare to wait until the expeditionary force group arrives, and all of them will launch an attack.

They had no idea that behind them, there were already two fierce tigers approaching them quietly, and the praying mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole were behind them. Gao Jianwu wanted to teach them a new lesson this time.

Time passed by 1 minute and 1 second. When the first attack group arrived at the designated position, in the sky, the eight fighters of the expeditionary air force group were already circling in the clouds.

Gao Jianwu commanded in an orderly manner, and the artillery set up the artillery positions.According to his plan in advance, even the 92 infantry artillery can cover the field defense range temporarily formed by the first attack group of the expeditionary force.

The artillery is exactly in a central location with a radius of about 2km.It's just that Gao Jianwu's actions were very secretive, and the scouts of the little devil didn't find out the location of the artillery fire of the expeditionary army group at all.

The artillery consisting of 40 41-type mountain artillery and 80 [-] infantry artillery completed the combat deployment in a very short time. Under the command of Gao Jianwu, some elements in the bombardment area have been preset.

According to Gao Jianwu's calculations, the little devils will gather a large number of troops in these areas.Because of the terrain restrictions in these areas, they have no way to go around from other places.

As for the final situation, the scouts sent to observe in various places will report the little devil's trace at any time.

The five main battalions of the first attack group of the expeditionary force have now seized various high points and are ready for battle.

Sure enough, when the time came, the lurking little devils independently mixed into the 22nd and 23rd Brigades and swarmed out, trying to use the most violent offensive to drown the expeditionary army in one fell swoop.

So they launched an on-board charge without hesitation, from the head of the little devil brigade to the sergeant below, all rushed towards the first attack group like crazy!
In Gao Jianwu's temporary command center, several walkie-talkies kept sending out the latest news about the little devil.With the most convenient battlefield transmission system in this era, Gao Jianwu can grasp all the actions of the enemy at the first time.

Let Gao Jianwu form an imprint on the map in his brain in time, and when these little devils rushed to the shelling area, Gao Jianwu decisively ordered the shelling.

The 120 cannons under his personal command roared almost simultaneously.The shelling element design has been preset long ago, the artillerymen only need to reload and fire, and then reload and continue to fire!
Use the fastest speed to cover the area with firepower, and you can see that in the queue of little devils charging in the distance, pieces of little devils fell to the place where the shells exploded.

The little devil never dreamed that there were more than 100 cannons hidden in an expeditionary army attack group of more than [-] people. This kind of inhumane firepower configuration instantly turned the brigade leaders of the two brigades of the little devil from crazy Pull back to reality.

In just a few minutes, they have lost thousands of people.The dense charging queue made the momentum very astonishing, but at the same time it also maximized the power of Gao Jianwu's artillery fire.Almost every shell will take away a few little devils.

It's just that at this time, even if the two little devil brigade leaders found that something was wrong, they could only bite the bullet and continue to charge, because they would die even worse if they stopped.

Following the little devil, the infantry artillery squadrons charged by the infantry finally entered the range of the artillery, stopped, and opened up their posture to look for the artillery positions of the expeditionary army group, but they did not see the expeditionary army group not far away. The forward observation post of the company has discovered them a long time ago, and now they quickly report the new location to Gao Jianwu's headquarters.

After simply performing parameter positioning and calibration, Gao Jianwu quickly adjusted the elements of a part of the artillery to give priority to the infantry artillery that appeared like the little devil.

Just as the little devil infantry artillery squadron was scrambling to prepare.A round of shells was flying towards them.With the help of the map hanging, the artillery commanded by Gao Jianwu can hit the area almost without test firing.

To be on the safe side, Gao Jianwu didn't only use a single cannon to bombard the little devil infantry, but a group of four to cover an attack, directly covering an area of ​​three to four hundred square meters!

In this case, where will the little devil artillery leave a chance.

Although the 41-type mountain artillery and the [-] infantry artillery are not excellent artillery, they are very useful in the face of small devils charging in groups.

Since there is no need to adjust many parameters, the increasingly proficient artillery of the expeditionary army has displayed a high level of reloading. In this shelling, they fired an extraordinary level of 10 rounds per minute.

This is almost the upper limit of the firing speed of the 41-type mountain cannon, which means that there are 400 rounds of 75mm grenades and 800 rounds of 70mm grenades per minute on the battlefield. , To hit the vicinity of the infantry defense circle of the expeditionary army group, at least it will take more than ten minutes to run desperately.

For such a long time, it was enough for the artillerymen of the expeditionary army who had prepared 2 base shells to fire fifty or sixty shells, plowing the entire battlefield with artillery fire.

That's not the end however, wait until they get into the 1km range.

The mortars of the infantry began a new round of speeches. Although the accuracy of the mortars was far inferior to that of the artillery commanded by Gao Jianwu, their firing speed was faster and more shells were fired per unit time.

This allowed the little devils with more than half of the casualties to continue to suffer greater casualties. When they rushed to the infantry of the expeditionary army, less than a quarter of them could move forward and charge forward.

Facing a group of little devils with scars all over their bodies, the soldiers of the first attack group showed no mercy. Light and heavy machine guns spewed out flames, smashing the last bit of energy of the little devils, and finally they began to flee around the battlefield!

As for the commanders of the little devils, they were either torn apart by the artillery fire, or they were frightened and began to flee with the scattered soldiers.

Originally on the vast battlefield, there was no way for the little devil to flee to Gao Jianwu like this, but this time Gao Jianwu brought all the main force over, forming a tight encirclement network long ago.

At this moment, he has rushed to the surrounding area of ​​the battlefield and firmly controlled the little devil inside.Tighten all the little tails step by step, none of them can escape in this battle.

And this time Gao Jianwu did not ask to keep a prisoner.

Let the little devils independently form the 22nd Brigade and the 23rd Brigade to go neatly!

It fully fulfilled Gao Jianwu's request not to let go of a little devil before the war.

World War I wiped out more than 1 little devils, but their own casualties were less than 6, of which less than 800 were directly sacrificed. In such a battle with extremely disparate losses, the most important thing was the artillery general under the command of Gao Jianwu. The main force and spirit are destroyed.

It's just that the loss of shells covered by the firepower of this battle is quite astonishing, almost consuming more than half of the shells of the 41-type mountain artillery and the [-] infantry artillery accumulated by Gao Jianwu.

The high-intensity firing also caused several [-] infantry guns to show signs of barrel damage, and several infantry guns were directly scrapped.

But all of this is worth it. If a few or even dozens of cannons can be exchanged for the casualties of tens of thousands of little devils, Gao Jianwu will not hesitate to pay the price.

After all, for him now, the era when weapons and equipment were more important than human life has long passed.

After covering the battle with textbook-style firepower and clearing away the two brigades of the little devils, Gao Jianwu let out a bit of anger in his chest.

But this still can't solve the problem now, after all, the main force of the little devil is deployed in the urban area.From the time when the common people were mixed together, for Gao Jianwu, it was time to really test him.

Face the enemy's dastardly tactics.

How can Gao Jianwu break the game?

"Nani, the 22nd Brigade and the 23rd Brigade have been wiped out? So fast?" The Shuangshui Battlefield is not too far from the 104th Division's defense line, and the observers sent by the 104th Division quickly reported back the battle situation, which made Sakai Long was shocked and angry!
To his surprise, the combat power of the expeditionary army group was much stronger than he had imagined.

Of course, the anger is that the two brigades are so useless!

No matter which point.He has recalculated the expeditionary force group.At the same time, it also strengthened his inner thoughts on his own tactics.

After all, in the field battle, the locust army is no match for the opponent at all. If there is a decisive battle in the field, he has no chance of winning at all.

Now only a bloody street fight with the enemy is the only way out.

Make good use of the complex terrain of the city and the people in your hands as a human shield, and let the opponent throw a mouse, and then you will have a chance.

The 104th Division sent a large number of observation posts to the Shuangshui battlefield to observe the battle at close range.So that they provide a detailed battle situation on the battlefield.

The artillery advantage of the expeditionary army cluster made them feel almost desperate.According to the observation of the little devil observation post, an attack group of the expeditionary force has more than 200 artillery pieces.

This configuration far exceeds the artillery establishment of a division of the Locust Army.Even the Class A division does not have such a luxurious artillery lineup.

Not to mention that the lethality of their artillery command has reached the level of perfection. In this battle, the artillery almost defeated the two brigades of the Locust Army alone, which is unique in the history of the Locust Army. Yet another humiliating record.

Sheng Tian and Lieutenant General Cheng of the 104th Division saw the partial battles of this battle across the river and were deeply shocked. In his opinion, troops like the expeditionary army group are invincible, and they are stronger than the main force of the beautiful country. a bit!
According to his thinking, now is the time to retreat.The combat power displayed by the expeditionary army group is no longer something they can compete with.Now we need to avoid the edge, and then wait until we concentrate our forces to make a comeback, and fight again with superior forces and weapons and equipment, maybe we will have a chance.

Thinking of this, Sheng Tian and Cheng Zhong will secretly retreat the two main regiments to the east of the Xijiang River, leaving only one regiment to defend in Wuyi City, instead of betting the entire division on Wuyi Street Fighting.

As a veteran general, Morita Kazunari still has his own vision and judgment. Staying in Wuyi to fight to the death will certainly cause certain casualties to the expeditionary army group, but compared to preserving the main force and participating in the siege with brother troops, Obviously more meaningful.

He thought so, and made adjustments according to his own ideas.

Gao Jianwu doesn't care about these now, he is going step by step to prepare the first attack group to solve the enemy's coastal fortifications from the front and directly hit Tanjiang, while the third and fourth attack groups, as the left and right wings, bypass the enemy's defense line in front of them and cross Tanjiang first.

The Fifth Attack Group was in the rear of the First Attack Group and existed as a general reserve.

Such a battle formation is almost foolproof for the expeditionary army group.After all, there are not many teams left by the little devil here.

These little devils who have lost the advantage of artillery fire seem to be a little unintelligent. They seem to have no other way to deal with this situation except to launch a series of onboard charges to send people's heads.

Of course, the little devil Takashi Sakai also made his own attempt. It was rare to play with a wide range of tactics. He sent two brigades to attack the expeditionary army group, trying to hit the vanguard of the expeditionary army group. The real combat effectiveness of the army group.

Only this time they screwed up again.

Gao Jianwu's intelligence made his surprise attack a joke, and without artillery and other heavy weapons, Gao Jianwu had no power to fight back under the cover of artillery fire.
As Gao Jianwu's backup, the fighter jets of the two teams were not used to sneak attack the expected little devil's artillery position.

Because the little devil who came to sneak attack this time acted hastily, and he was unable to carry a large number of artillery into the mountains to lurk in a short period of time.

Faced with the little devil who only brought a single-digit mountain cannon, Gao Jianwu directly took care of it in minutes with artillery as soon as he showed his head, without the need for the air force to dispatch.

He wasted Gao Jianwu's backhand for nothing, and temporarily forgot the target of the air force's instruction to attack. There was no other way, and the cannon had almost done the little devil.

The pilots circling in the sky did not wait for Gao Jianwu's call, and all of them were a little dumbfounded.

"What about the captain? Are we going to bomb or not?" By the time the fight was almost over, the pilots hadn't received the mission yet, and everyone was in a hurry.

The eight fighter jets that took off with heavy bombs cannot carry heavy bombs and land again, because the risk of plane crash is too great.

"What's the matter? Can you take this stuff home and wait for the New Year?" In the public communication channel, Lu Xingguo scolded with a smile.

"The commander-in-chief didn't give us a specific target. We did it ourselves. You can see that the little devils on the other side have repaired a lot of fortifications. Let's go and kill their forts."

After Lu Xingguo finished speaking, he took the lead in flying a fighter jet to dive down. After passing through the clouds, he spotted the little devil's defense line, kept lowering his flying altitude, and carefully observed the important targets of the little devil's defense line.

Soon the fort located on the riverside appeared in Lu Xingguo's eyes. Lu Xingguo slowed down and lowered the height until it dropped to about 500 meters before aiming at the target and dropping the bomb.

A coastal defense fort was instantly reduced to ashes in the sound of a huge explosion. The little devils of the 104th Division Jiangfang who had been watching the fire from the other side did not expect to encounter such a disaster, and were patronized by Mustang fighter jets one after another.

The originally complete river bank defense line was incomplete after this round of bombing, and there were very few left after the bombing of the forts and bunkers.

the next day.

Public opinion exploded.

Regarding Takashi Sakai's despicable behavior, as soon as the news spread, the anger of the domestic people was suddenly ignited.

You must know that the little devil is equivalent to holding millions of ordinary people as shields.

Such brutality was unheard of.

After the major media in the border region published a fierce editorial, it immediately inspired hundreds of thousands of young workers and students across the country to go to the border region, to Jin Province, and to the New Fourth Army to resolutely liquidate the little devils!
Many of them went south to join the expeditionary army group.

This ruthless move of the little devil did not scare the people of Shenzhou, but aroused infinite anger and strength.In the Japanese-occupied areas, the number of resistance forces suddenly increased, and workers and intellectuals in big cities began to leave in large numbers.

The Allied Forces also issued the most severe warning to the little devil, pointing out that if the little devil dares to act like this, the Allied Air Force will no longer restrain itself from bombing the Eastern Islands, and will completely carry out indiscriminate bombing in retaliation!
You must know that at this time, although the Allied forces have carried out punitive bombing on the little devils, the targets have not yet targeted ordinary residential areas.

Coupled with the limited range of the B-25 bomber and the lack of a suitable frontier airport, the bombing of the little devils is more symbolic than actual combat.

But now, more than 29 super giant B-200 super sky fortress bombers in the beautiful country have been stepped up to produce more than [-]. Relying on the fairly stable Jinyang Airport, the Allied Forces have begun to have the ability to carry out large-scale bombing of Xiaotian mainland!
For the little devil's base camp, although the effect of that editorial was immediate, it had no substantial impact on the little devil's homeland, and the threat of a large-scale bombing of the homeland by the Allied forces has become a real worry.

The B-29 Super Sky Fortress has been successfully developed last year and has appeared in many battlefields. It is no longer a secret for the little devils. If the Allies are really angered and dispatched with this big killer, it will put the homeland in the strategic bombing base camp of the little devils. Feeling very uncomfortable.

The base camp no longer appeases Takashi Sakai, and ordered Takashi Sakai to be relieved of his position as the commander of the No. 20 Army, and appointed the commander of the 23rd Army in addition to Tanaka Hisaichi!

After accepting the new position, Tanaka Jiuichi, who was airborne in Yangcheng, immediately ordered the 51st Division of the Fofan Defense Line, the Independent Mixed Ninth Brigade, the 38th Division and the Independent Mixed 8th Brigade of the Yangcheng Defense Line to retreat to the Hong Kong-Kowloon area in turn. .

"Yangcheng can't be defended anymore, it can't be defended at all!" Lieutenant General Tanaka Jiuyi immediately issued a report to the base camp after taking over, "I will rely on the good opportunity of the 10th Division to delay the enemy and retreat the main force to Hong Kong and Kowloon. The main force of the 23rd Army sticks to Hong Kong and Kowloon.”

Lieutenant General Tanaka Jiuyi, who had a deep understanding of the intention of the base camp, won himself the "famous name" of the escaped general by retreating at the speed of light, but also won a chance for Xiaotian to breathe.

Due to the ferocious retreat of the superiors, the 104th Division's private retreat of its main force was not pursued. Instead, it took advantage of the current status of the expeditionary force group to quickly take down the Guifeng and Jiang'an defense lines, and obtained instructions to turn eastward.

Only one brigade of little devils who were fighting street fighting in Wuyi City was left behind, and were wiped out one by one by Gao Jianwu's commando team and the elite main assault company of the first attack group.

Even if it is a commando team that has not been specially trained in street fighting, but already has a prototype of special forces, now every member is the best of the best. How many streets are there for devils!

Whether it is a triangle assault composed of 3 players, or an alternate cover mobile formation composed of 7 players, the front and back two machine gunners fire suppression and cover to complete the attack on the lane!

Song Tiecheng discovered a new place for the commando team to use. With the commando team's precise marksmanship, in the case of minimal accidental injuries, the commando team has given full play to its accurate and sharp marksmanship in the face of single or small-scale devils. The advantage of the Rand rifle's stronger firepower made the little devil's victory in street fighting a joke of killing people in street fighting.

This made Gao Jianwu, who was nervously watching the game, heaved a sigh of relief.

In the face of new tests, the Commando did not let him down.

In comparison, the assault company of the first assault group is inferior, but under the powerful firepower, it still has an overwhelming advantage against the little devils.

Shao Zuo Xiaoshan, the captain of the little devil who was in charge of the street fighting, was defeated directly. This street fighting took more than 3 hours, which proved that even in the complex street fighting environment, the elite troops of the expeditionary army group are still the kings.

However, when Gao Jianwu deliberately stopped to let the commandos and commando companies involved in the street fighting impart experience to the rest of the troops, he suddenly received news that the little devil had already retreated towards Hong Kong and Kowloon, and ran away!

At the same time, news came that the two national armies were marching towards Yangcheng with all their strength.

"The timing chosen by the friendly army to pick peaches is really ingenious." Gao Jianwu looked at the position of the friendly army on the map and said to Ding Wei with a wry smile.

"Old Ding, what do you think of the situation now?"

Ding Wei shook his head, and said with a helpless expression, "With the speed of our army's advance, we will definitely be ahead. But this is useless. After all, they still occupy the name. This is neither our defense area nor Our base. It is difficult for us to occupy it reasonably."

"Then we will lose this place for nothing?" Gao Jianwu said unwillingly.

"Of course not. We occupied it first. With our strength, the friendly army may not dare to shoot the first shot. Since we recovered this place, we can argue with them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we transferred a large number of factory equipment and workers to our South China Sea Island base to develop our base construction.At the same time, we are here to greatly expand the team.

With the reputation we have now, it's not hard to do that. "Ding Wei is really not the one who is willing to suffer, and he didn't hide his point of view when facing Gao Jianwu.

In this complicated situation, only developing yourself is the only way out.

"Next, we will discuss the terms of exchange with them. Although it is difficult for us to be the masters of the country alone, if we stay here forever, they will not be able to take it away.

In this way, we have the bargaining chips for the exchange. "

"Where do you want to exchange?" Gao Jianwu looked at Ding Wei with burning eyes, and he really deserved to be a master of strategy.

This point of view is a bit different.
