The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

At present, each column has moved to the designated position.

The first column has left Taiyuan in the east and is advancing along Zhengtai Road, less than 1 kilometers away from the little devil's defense zone. The task of the first column is to attack and advance along Zhengtai Road and enter North China.

The 2nd and 3rd columns have already arrived in Jingzhou. One of the columns and a large amount of equipment were transported by air. The task of these two columns is to contain the little devil's Central China Front Army, which is a feint attack.

The 4th, 5th, and two columns have bypassed Zhangjiakou and moved between Zhangjiakou and Beiping. The task of these two columns is to cut off the escape route of the little devils in Zhangjiakou and wait for an opportunity to attack Beiping.

第6、8两个纵队主攻张家口；第7纵队从北园县往南发动攻击，和第1纵队遥相呼应；第9、10两个纵队充当预备队。[

The little devil may have noticed such a big movement of the No.30 Sixth Army, but the little devil was busy dealing with the air strikes of the No.30 Sixth Army a few days ago, and his reaction will be limited. Many troops must not be gathered yet. It must be too late to mobilize.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei's order was issued, the war was about to break out.

At dawn the next day, the 6th and 8th columns outside Zhangjiakou were fully prepared, waiting for the moment of attack.

The little devil has a heavy army stationed in Zhangjiakou. There are two divisions, namely the 10th division and the 30th division.

However, a few days ago, the little devils in Zhangjiakou were also attacked by the No. 30 Sixth Army, and the losses were relatively large.At least 6000 to [-] people were killed, many military camps were destroyed, and ammunition depots were also blown up.

at present.The two divisions of the little devils are already highly nervous, worrying about the massive attack of the No.30 Sixth Army last year. No.30 The scene of the Sixth Army's massive attack on Zhangjiakou, many little devils still vividly remember it, with lingering fears in their hearts.

Especially the little devils of the 10th Division, now they are talking about the No.30 Sixth Army's discoloration. Not only did they suffer heavy casualties last time, but their division commander Nanjiro was also killed. Didn't keep it either.

Now, nearly 30 people in the two columns of the No.7 Sixth Army have appeared outside Zhangjiakou.Zhangjiakou was almost surrounded, and the little devils immediately discovered this phenomenon.

After receiving the report, Shinichi Nohira, the new head of the 10th Division of the Little Devils, and Yuji Tanaka, the head of the 30th Division, came to the city wall of Zhangjiakou one after another, and carefully observed the situation ahead with a telescope.

Last year, during the Battle of Zhangjiakou, the little devils' defensive positions outside the city were hit by the heavy artillery group of the No.30 Sixth Army, which caused heavy losses. The little devils reinforced their defensive positions outside the city.The little devils are confident that this time they can basically withstand the bombardment of the No. 30 Sixth Army's heavy artillery group.

The two heads of the little devil division saw a large number of No. 30 Sixth Army soldiers outside the city, and the faces of the two little devil division leaders were very solemn.

At this time, although the sky was just slightly bright.I can't see it very clearly, but the No.30 Sixth Army has at least tens of thousands of people outside. Both of them thought that it seems that the No.30 Sixth Army is going to attack Zhangjiakou again. Really hit.

If in the past, seeing the No.30 Sixth Army preparing to attack Zhangjiakou on such a large scale, you could still ask for help from the North China Front Army, but now, the headquarters of the North China Front Army has been completely destroyed, and the newly established North China Front Army headquarters in Tianjin. It has just been established, and a large number of personnel are still in place.

What's more, a few days ago, the entire North China Front Army was severely attacked by the No. 30 Sixth Army, and all units suffered losses. Even if they asked for reinforcements, it was impossible.

Thinking of this, the two division heads of the little devil had no choice but to report the situation to Tianjin while ordering their troops to stand firm.

A large number of little devils entered the defensive positions outside the city, preparing to block the No.30 Sixth Army's siege.

far away.

The joint headquarters of the 30th and 6th Columns of the No.8 Sixth Army, the column commanders Chu Tianming and Sun Chuanzhi were also observing the little devil's movements with binoculars. There are still more than 20 minutes before the attack time.

However, judging from the observation just now, the little devils seem to have discovered themselves, but it doesn't matter whether they find out or not. Even if all the troops are put on the bright side, the two columns have so many troops that they obviously have an advantage. [

Seeing a large number of little devils entering the defensive position outside the city, Chu Tianming couldn't help smiling, and looked at the little devil's defensive position in the distance with a binoculars, and said calmly: "Old Sun, the little devils are preparing to attack outside the city again." Defend us, and this time, the little devil will pay a heavy price again."

Hearing this, Sun Chuanzhi also smiled slightly and said: "Old Chu, the little devils really don't have a long memory. Last year, many people were killed by our three 105mm howitzers. Do you want to experience our 155mm howitzers again this year?" The power of a millimeter howitzer."

After finishing speaking, both of them put down their binoculars, looked at each other, and laughed.

The attack on Zhangjiakou this time was to encircle three and one, and two columns surrounded the north, west, and south sides, leaving only the east side leading to Peiping unencircled.

Adopting such a tactic is obviously to drive the little devil out of Zhangjiakou and drive the little devil to Beiping. Everyone doesn't want to fight street fighting with the little devil in the city.

As long as the little devils leave the city, it will be much easier to fight. In the open field, the little devils will definitely be surrounded by everyone. There are two columns between Zhangjiakou and Beiping, and the little devils in Zhangjiakou will never escape. I went to Peking.

This time, heavy artillery was used in the first round of attack.

Two columns, a total of 4 heavy artillery brigades, all the 155mm howitzers are ready. This time, all the 155mm howitzers will bombard the huge little devils defensive position in the west of Zhangjiakou City.

At present, each column has two divisions and a heavy artillery brigade. Each heavy artillery brigade is equipped with 60 155mm howitzers. There are a total of 4 heavy artillery brigades with a total of 240 155mm howitzers. ?

After such a long period of operation, the little devil has built a large number of fortifications outside Zhangjiakou, including trenches, bunkers, and artillery holes. There are also many strongholds and watchtowers, and many of the fortifications are cement buildings. The little devil thought that his fortification should be strong enough, just like a tortoise shell.

But now, the purpose of Chu Tianming and Sun Chuanzhi is obvious, that is to smash the turtle shell and break into the city.As long as they break through the strong fortifications of the little devils outside the city, those city walls are nothing to worry about. Even with a 105mm howitzer, these city walls can be blown down.

A total of 4 heavy artillery brigades, a total of 4 huge artillery positions, this time, we will concentrate all the artillery fire to bombard the defensive positions in the west of Zhangjiakou City. As for the north and south of the city, we will adopt a strategy of encircling and not fighting.

The huge muzzles of a pair of 155mm howitzers pointed far away at the huge defensive position in the west of Little Devil City. All the cannons were ready and all the artillery was on standby.

It was six o'clock in the morning.

A dazzling signal flare, dragging its long tail, wobbled up into the sky. All the soldiers saw this signal flare, and many little devils in Zhangjiakou also saw this signal flare.

Many little devil officers on the city wall of Zhangjiakou looked solemn, watching the signal flare rising higher and higher, thinking in their hearts, is the No. 30 Sixth Army's attack about to start?

On the defensive position in the west of Zhangjiakou City, many little devils are ready, with machine guns set up, and in the bunkers everywhere, many little devils are holding machine guns tightly, looking ahead, ready to meet No.30 The attack of the Sixth Army.

Many little devil officers on the defensive position saw that the signal flare was getting higher and higher, and kept looking ahead, but there was no No. 30 Sixth Army rushing forward. The next time, the No.30 Sixth Army launched another large-scale bombardment.

Yes, the No.30 Sixth Army's large-scale bombardment has begun.

With the launch of the signal flare, 240 155mm howitzers roared together, and poured the shells on the defensive position of the little devils in the west of the city.

The salvo of 240 155mm howitzers is amazingly powerful.

First of all, there was a deafening sound of firing on the artillery positions, and the entire position was filled with gunpowder smoke. Since each artillery position was at least seven or eight kilometers away from the little devils, the little devils could not see this scene, and the little devils could only hear it from afar. From somewhere, there was a faint rumbling sound. [

Then, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and more than 200 shells flew towards the little devil's position.

Many little devils heard such a large-scale sharp whistling, and many experienced little devils recognized that it was the sound of heavy artillery firing. Many little devils dropped their guns, tightly wrapped their heads, and rushed Hurriedly looking for this bunker.

In the city of Zhangjiakou, the division heads of the two little devils also heard the whistling sound. Both of them are experienced old devils. When they heard this sound, they secretly screamed in their hearts. The heavy artillery group of the Sixth Army.

The two hurriedly ran out of the command post. Looking at the large shells flying in the sky at high speed, the expressions of the two of them changed drastically. On such a large scale, at least two or three hundred heavy artillery pieces fired at the same time.

My God, it's crazy, it's unbelievable, the No.30 Sixth Army used so many cannons in one go, and these cannons are obviously more than 105 mm caliber.

The two thought to themselves, could it be two or three hundred 155-caliber howitzers? If so, the defensive positions outside the city would be in danger.
