March 5, 1932, early in the morning.
In the camp behind the Linghai defense line, the soldiers of the 12th Division, as usual, sat together and ate rice balls after the completion of the morning training.
The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Sugiyama Moto, was in the county seat of Linghai County in the rear, enjoying the early morning sun.
The roar of cannon fire broke the silence of the early morning.
Sun Liren, commander of the Central Route Army, concentrated more than 100 heavy howitzers of 155 mm and 240 mm caliber to launch an artillery attack on the Japanese camp behind Linghai.
Perhaps the Japanese army was somewhat comfortable during this period and had forgotten about the large-caliber long-range heavy artillery equipped by the border guards.
As the sky sounded the whistling of shells, the entire rear camp exploded.
"Shelling, dodging shelling. "
"Spread out, all spread out. "
In the midst of the shouts and whistles of the officers.
Hundreds of large-caliber artillery shells roared down, like a meteorite falling to the ground, setting off an earth-shattering explosion.
In particular, the 240 mm caliber heavy high-explosive grenade is simply a battlefield clearer, and only a huge crater is left after one shot.
Countless Japanese soldiers were harvested their lives in the violent explosions.
In addition to hundreds of large-caliber heavy guns, Sun Liren also concentrated most of the M7 Priest 105mm self-propelled howitzers in the army.
There were also Krupp 105 and 150 mm heavy guns of the New First Army that launched a fierce artillery attack on the first line of defense of Linghai.
In an instant, the position was densely packed with shells.
Dirt and rubble flew in the air in the explosion.
"Release ....." and "810"
Two rocket artillery battalions of the 3rd Panzer Division and the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division were also grouped together.
A total of 42 Katyusha self-propelled rocket launchers.
With a single order, more than 0 rockets were launched in seconds.
An overwhelming rain of rockets came towards the Linghai defense line.
At this moment, the little devil who was hiding in the trench of the position to avoid the shelling was once again hit like a devastating blow.
Like the hammer of the Emperor, the rockets roared and smashed down on the position.
directly suppressed the momentum of hundreds of artillery salvos.
became the protagonist of this world.
Even the sky was about to be printed as fiery red.
Almost at the same time, the 4th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Yixian was also hit by the artillery of the New 1st Division and the 2nd Infantry Division.
Two improved K5 310 mm train guns also joined the shelling and launched an artillery bombardment of the Yixian defensive line.
In the sky above Jinzhou, dense fighter planes roared by.
Eighty P-51D Mustang fighters and 54JU-87 Stuka dive bombers flew in the direction of Shenyang.
When the shelling began, the group also came to the sky above Linghai.
P-51D Mustang fighters flew down and slaughtered the Japanese troops on the ground who were panicking and evading the shelling.
One after another, Stuka dive bombers crossed the defensive line and bombed various military facilities in the rear of the Japanese army.
For example, railway bridges, railway stations, Japanese artillery positions that have been detected, etc.
They were the main targets of the Stuka dive bombers, especially the Japanese artillery positions.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Xueming took out Wang Zhan and launched a general attack on all the Japanese defense lines.
Neither the 12th Division nor the 4th Division had ever been subjected to such heavy shelling.
The situation of the 4th regiment was slightly better, and that side was not the direction of the main attack.
The blow to the 12th Division can be described as unprecedented.
It seems that the Northeast Frontier Army has an endless supply of shells on its side.
When their artillery reacted and prepared to counterattack.
The overwhelming Stuka dive bomber swooped down.
The poignant screaming sound came from the small bagpipes, which made the Japanese artillerymen who heard this sound a little frightened.
Command of the Kwantung Army.
"Your Excellency, the big thing is not good, Zhang Xueming launched a fierce artillery bombardment and bombers on our army's Yixian and Linghai defense lines. "
Honjo Shigeru, Itatsura Seisishiro, Dohi Enji and others who heard the news were directly stunned.
It doesn't matter if they didn't fight, Zhang Xueming still dared to launch a counterattack?
Although they have an advantage in equipment, they also have an advantage in troops, several times that of Zhang Xueming.
It is clear that their intelligence did not detect the addition of the 3rd Panzer Division and the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division.
"What? How's the situation at the front now?"
The communications officer shook his head and said: "It's not clear yet, but according to the information from the front, Zhang Xueming's artillery is extremely large, and the mysterious artillery of the last time was dispatched, and the number is even more than before." "
The mysterious artillery in his mouth is, naturally, Katyusha self-propelled rocket artillery.
For this artillery, their image is still very impressive.
The reason why the Twentieth Division was annihilated so quickly was inseparable from this mysterious artillery.
Itachi Seisishiro's face changed.
"It's not good, Zhang Xueming has launched a general attack, no wonder their supplies have been increasing recently.
Originally, I thought they were preparing to defend against the Empire's attack.
I didn't expect him to be so bold and dare to launch a counterattack. "
Honjo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Now is not the time to discuss, the reinforcements on the Busan side have just been bombed, and they will launch a counteroffensive today, and it seems that they are all ready.
The front-line troops were ordered to hold the line at all costs, and if necessary, they could withdraw to Shenyang for defense. "
Then he continued: "Order the North Manchurian region to cease all operations and shrink the defensive line to all important towns.
The main force of the 2nd Division could move south and garrison Shenyang. "
He clearly judged that the other party's target was Shenyang.
As long as Shenyang is held, Liao Province will be held.
As long as Liao Province can be held, then reinforcements will continue to come from Lushunkou and Chaomos.
Shuangyang Town, Linghai County, is the most forward position of the Linghai defense line.
The 8th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army and the 5th Independent Garrison Brigade were stationed here.
The total strength is nearly 10,000.
The shelling was also the heaviest.
More than 600 rockets were all smashed here.
This position, which was excavated by relying on the surrounding mountains of Shuangyang Town, is no longer what it used to be.
It was all flying dirt and huge craters, as if they had been plowed by something.
The 8th Mixed Brigade was about to be blown up.
Suddenly, the sound of the cannon suddenly stopped, and the heavens and the earth returned to silence.
However, when the smoke of gunpowder cleared from the position, the Japanese troops on the position saw a scene that made them frightened.
T-34/85 medium tanks rushed towards the position with their guns raised.
Behind the tanks were M2/3 half-track armored vehicles and M39 armored personnel carriers.
Ahead of them were filled with tanks and armored vehicles, and the total number of them combined exceeded a thousand.
The number of T-34/85 medium tanks alone reached 400, not to mention more than 800 armored vehicles of various types.
"Brigade... Brigade commander, how are we going to fight?"
After seeing this scene, the chief of staff of the brigade was stunned and looked a little overwhelmed.
How could the anti-tank trenches and anti-tank piles they had dug before be able to hold back in the face of such a large number of tanks?
As for the anti-tank guns, not to mention, they themselves are not equipped much.
The brigade commander drew his command knife and shouted: "Hold it at all costs, even if you use your body to block it, you must block the offensive of the Zhinamen." "
When the artillery fire stopped, the remaining Japanese troops on the position launched a counterattack.
The 38 big covers, crooked handles, and Type 92 heavy machine guns fired in unison.
At the same time, it was accompanied by shells from infantry guns and mortars.
Whether they can hit it or not, at least they have a momentum.
However, the Japanese counterattack in the position immediately ushered in a fierce counterattack by the 3rd Panzer Division and the 4th Mechanized Infantry Brigade. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The T-34/85 tanks rushing ahead came to a scrambled halt.
The 85-mm tank gun was aimed at the exposed firing points of the Japanese troops.
"Boom ....."
The muzzle of the gun flickered, and the shell seemed to have eyes, accurately hitting the Japanese machine-gun fire point.
With the sound of an explosion, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers flew and the machine guns were blown into parts.
"Panzers, attack!"
The tank tracks flew and rolled up the dirt on the ground..........
Black smoke rose from its tails, and the war beasts roared.
"Anti-tank heaps were found ahead, and engineering units cleared the obstacles. "
Soon the tank cluster was blocked by anti-tank stacks in front.
Not to mention the T-34, even if the King Tiger tank comes, it has to stop.
However, since the enemy has anti-tank piles, the border guards naturally have equipment to deal with them.
The stopped T-34 g was also not idle.
Tank guns and tank machine guns fired in unison, suppressing the fire of the Japanese position.
In the rear, construction trucks equipped with bulldozers drove up.
At the same time, there were sappers holding explosives in the rear.
The Japanese army seemed to have discovered the attempt on this side, and braved heavy artillery fire to concentrate on attacking the approaching engineering trucks and sappers.
However, at this moment, hundreds of M7 Priest self-propelled guns in the rear have followed.
They deployed directly only about 5 kilometers from the Japanese position in Shuangyang Town.
"Put."
Dense shells once again fell on the Japanese positions in Shuangyang Town.
Once again, the Japanese troops who did not want to die were severely suppressed on the position.
In less than five minutes, a path was cleared on these anti-tank stacks made of steel pipes.
The T-34/85 tanks were on the road again, and at this moment they were only two hundred meters away from the Japanese position.
The 8th Brigade, which was poorly skilled, was undaunted by the onrushing tanks.
A dead man jumped out of position with an explosives bag and a grenade.
The shout in his mouth rushed up, and he didn't want to take life and death in his eyes at all.
But their charge was nothing more than death.
A soldier had already jumped out of the half-track and tracked personnel carriers and came behind the tank to cover the tank's advance.
When a wave of more Japanese dead rushed out.
The soldiers began to shoot with their STG-44 rifles.
Soon T-34/85 tanks rushed to the position under the cover of the infantry.
"After leaving the troops to break off, the rest retreat to the second line of positions, dripping quickly. "
The commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade did not expect that in only an hour after the start of the battle, the position of Shuangyang Town in his charge was so easily broken through.
Their tanks are just terrible.
Flesh and blood simply can't stop it.
"Won the first position?"
Yu Chen ordered: "Extend the artillery fire and launch an artillery bombardment of the second position."
Is the rocket artillery battalion in place?"
"The report, it's already in place. "
In Command, a signal corpsman, 4.3, looked up and replied.
"Okay, let's let the rocket artillery group bombard for a round first, and then the attacking troops will continue the attack. "
54 Like a dragon roaring, the Katyusha rocket launcher fired another round of rockets.
The rocket rain formed by more than 670 rockets was like a bright meteor, and it directly smashed on the second position of Shuangyang Town.
When watching the rain of rockets flying overhead.
The soldiers of the 3rd and 4th divisions were somewhat sympathetic to the little devils.
If this happens to them in one round, it will definitely be enough to drink a pot.
Dense explosions rang out over the second line of defense in Shuangyang Town.
Dense firelight continued to rise into the air.
The torrent of steel formed by the convergence of the third and fourth divisions was activated again.
The two positions are separated by no more than two kilometers.
Even the first line of the strongest positions was not held, let alone the second, which had fewer fortifications.
Even if the commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade threw the separate 5th Garrison Brigade into battle as a reserve, it would not help.
It's just a little bit of delay.
Two hours later, the 8th Mixed Brigade and the 5th Independent Garrison Brigade were all annihilated on the position of Shuangyang Town.
"Continue the attack, take Linghai County, and point your sword at Shenyang. "
After breaking through the defense line of Shuangyang Town, it was Linghai County that stopped in front of them.
On this line of defense, a whole 12th division of the Japanese army was stationed, as well as a number of troops, with a total strength of more than 30,000 people.
This is the last obstacle on the Shenyang road.
