The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Chapter 68 Preparations before the bombardment

Two days later, the city of Shuozhou was cleaned up by tens of thousands of soldiers. The corpses of tens of thousands of ordinary people killed by the little devils were buried. It was also swept by the soldiers, and it looked clean and tidy.

The common people in Shuozhou city also slowly regained their vitality, and began to walk out of the house in twos and threes, started to go out to do errands, to visit the door, and to do business also opened the shop and started to do business.At this time, Zhang Yunfei was in the temporary headquarters in Shuozhou City, looking at the huge military map with a serious face, and was thinking carefully about the next move of the troops.

This time tens of thousands of troops went south from Datong, recovered several counties in a row, and wiped out thousands of little devils, basically achieving the purpose of the original military training.

But in yesterday's incident, the inhumane little devils brutally killed tens of thousands of innocent people in Shuozhou City before retreating.

This incident made Zhang Yunfei hate the little devil to the bottom of his heart, and he has been thinking of ways to get revenge on the little devil. China pays attention to blood debts. [

Three days ago, when the cavalry regiment wiped out an infantry brigade, more than a thousand little devils could only collect some interest in advance, and the little devils did not collect the bulk of the principal.

Two days ago, Zhang Yunfei sent a battalion of the [-]st Infantry Brigade secretly out of Shuozhou to investigate and advance in the direction of Xinkou, in order to find out the movement of the little devil and the deployment of troops.

Just as Zhang Yunfei was looking at the map and thinking about countermeasures, Wang Haiyang, the brigade commander of the first brigade, pushed the door open excitedly. I have sent back a message. At present, there are no little devils in the north of Xinkou. The little devils have all withdrawn to Xinkou. At present, nearly two divisions have been deployed in Xinkou, and a large number of fortifications have been built. The purpose is obvious. It is to defend our army from going south and protect Taiyuan."

Zhang Yunfei took the pencil on the table, drew on the map, and vigorously drew a few large circles at the Xinkou position, then turned to the correspondent and said, "Quickly go and inform the Artillery Brigade King Daquan, let him come to see me as soon as possible." .”

Less than 5 minutes.

Wang Daquan came to the command post a little out of breath, apparently by running. At present, Wang Daquan respects Zhang Yunfei seven points and admires Zhang Yunfei three points, especially after the artillery brigade is equipped with these forty large-caliber howitzers. My respect and admiration grew stronger.

Wang Daquan walked in front of Zhang Yunfei with a smile on his face, stood upright and said, "Master, you are looking for me."

"Daquan, I have a difficult task for you." After finishing speaking, Zhang Yunfei walked to the map, pointed to the position of Xinkou which he had drawn a few circles with the pencil in his hand, and said, "Here, the little devil is stationed. There are almost two divisions in strength, and a large number of fortifications have been built. If we attack directly, the troops will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, I will give you a task, which is to use your cannons to blow me down. Devil."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

"In addition, the rest of the troops will fully cooperate with your artillery brigade, let go and do it, don't be stingy with shells." Zhang Yunfei encouraged Wang Daquan again.

In the afternoon, the troops marched towards Xinkou, leaving only one infantry regiment in Shuozhou.

Two days later, all the troops reached a place less than ten kilometers south of Xinkou. At this time, the little devils stationed in Xinkou also discovered a large number of Eighth Route Army to the north.

At this time, Zhang Yunfei did not hide the truth from the little devil. Except for the artillery brigade and the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, the rest of the troops were on the surface. The purpose was to let the little devil know that the Eighth Route Army's tens of thousands of troops were preparing to attack Xinkou.

In this way, the little devil will be forced to enter the defensive position. Zhang Yunfei has carefully observed the little devil's defensive position with a telescope.

The little devil's defensive position is very scientific and reasonable. It stretches for more than ten kilometers long and is two to three kilometers deep. A large number of bunkers and machine gun positions have been built on the defensive position.

If the Eighth Route Army really wanted to attack by force, what awaited the Eighth Route Army would be a barrage of bullets, and the Eighth Route Army would not be able to break through the line of defense without paying a heavy price.

There are tens of thousands of little devils guarding such a line of defense, and the little devils are not far from Taiyuan, and they have sufficient supplies. Don't worry about running out of ammunition at all. Turn this place into the grave of the Eighth Route Army.

Whether this is the case, however, remains to be proven in practice.

When the little devils all entered the line of defense, looking ahead nervously, ready to prevent the opposing Eighth Route Army from attacking at any time, Zhang Yunfei was commanding the troops to dig trenches and build fortifications leisurely under the eyes of the little devils. [

Moreover, the fortification took three days to repair, and the little devil on the other side was at a loss. The little devil kept thinking, why didn't the eight roads on the other side attack?Instead, they are building fortifications, are they waiting for us to take the initiative to attack.

For the past three days, the little devil couldn't sleep well at night. He was always worried that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side would suddenly attack. Several of the little devil's commanders also gathered together and discussed it several times, but there was no result of the discussion.

What on earth is the eighth road on the opposite side doing?

When the little devil racked his brains these days to guess what Zhang Yunfei's troops were doing, Zhang Yunfei was not idle at all.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Eighth Route Army leisurely built fortifications under the eyes of the little devil. This was just used by Zhang Yunfei to "confuse" the opponent.

In fact, Zhang Yunfei's real trump card is hidden behind. In the past few days, Zhang Yunfei has quietly shipped all the thousands of rounds of 150 [-]mm howitzers in Datong's inventory.

At present, the artillery brigade has tens of thousands of shells, and most of them are high-explosive shells, which will surely make the kid drink a pot by then.

In order to prevent the little devil's Taiyuan air force from bombing the artillery brigade, Zhang Yunfei dispatched another anti-aircraft artillery battalion. There are currently two anti-aircraft artillery battalions, which can completely defend against the little devil's air force.

According to reliable information, there are only about 40 aircraft in Taiyuan Airport, of which bombers account for the majority, with more than 20 aircraft, and fighter jets are slightly less, with only more than [-] aircraft.

For this aircraft, Zhang Yunfei prepared two anti-aircraft artillery battalions for them. As long as they dare to come, they will never return.And now, the soldiers are very experienced in combat, and the two anti-aircraft artillery battalions have found the best positions early and hidden them.

The [-]mm anti-aircraft guns painted with "camouflage" are scattered and hidden in the woods, bushes, and even inside thatch. It is impossible for the little devil to see them looking down from a height of thousands of meters.

At that time, the little devil's air force will definitely be caught off guard.

So far, all of Zhang Yunfei's strategic deployments have been completed. This time, Zhang Yunfei is going to take advantage of the cannon to ruthlessly bombard the little devil on the opposite side.

Because, Zhang Yunfei observed clearly at the beginning, although the little devil's position was built very large, but due to the rush of time, most of the construction was earthworks, and there were very few cement fortifications.

These civil fortifications cannot withstand the shelling of the 150mm howitzer, so Zhang Yunfei ordered a few soldiers from the infantry brigade to build fortifications in front of the little devil to "confuse" the little devil.

In fact, Zhang Yunfei used these few days to complete the strategic deployment. Fortunately, the little devil was stupid enough to not see through Zhang Yunfei's strategic intentions at all.
