When Zhangjiakou and Zhengtai Road were bombarding the Japanese's positions with a large number of heavy artillery, several other columns also began to attack the flower protection masters in another world.

The 7th Column located in Beiyuan County, North China Plain also began to launch an attack. More than 30,000 people from the 3rd Column began to divide the troops into two groups, attacking northward and threatening Shijiazhuang, and attacking eastward to prepare to cut off the railway from Shijiazhuang to Zhengzhou.

The 2nd and 3rd columns located in Jingzhou City, the hinterland of central China also began to feint attack Wuhan, attracting the Japanese Central China front army, preventing the Japanese from reinforcements to North China, and cooperating with the 2nd and 3rd columns to operate together, Zhang Zizhong's nearly 100,000 troops were also involved in the 2nd and 3rd columns.

Zhangjiakou.

The artillery bombardment of the 36th Army lasted for more than twenty minutes. Although it was not very long, the bombardment of more than 200 155mm howitzers made the Japanese positions, even if they were built withstand such dense artillery fire.

Within these twenty minutes, more than 10,000 155mm caliber howitzers landed on the Japanese defensive positions. The Japanese defensive positions were dilapidated and many cement fortifications were completely destroyed.

Now, all the cannons began to carry out extended artillery bombardment, preparing to bombard the city wall west of Zhangjiakou, and preparing to completely collapse the city wall west of Zhangjiakou city.

There are also many Japanese soldiers stationed on the city wall. The Japanese cannot give up the defense of this section of the city wall. There are a large number of soldiers from the 36th Army in the west of the city, and the Japanese can only bite the bullet and stick to the city wall.

Many Japanese devils on the city wall saw the huge defensive position in front of them, and were basically plowed several times by the fierce artillery fire of the 36th Army. A lot of soil rolled up, and the Japanese devils were also killed and injured.

These Japanese devils had long been a little scared of the fierce artillery fire of the 36th Army. The Japanese saw the artillery of the 36th Army starting to extend the artillery fire, and the overwhelming artillery fire extended all the way to the city wall where they were stationed. The Japanese devils looked like earth when they saw this scene.

Many Japanese hiding tightly behind battlements, trying to avoid these fierce artillery fire. There were a Japanese machine guns erected on the city wall. A few minutes ago, there were many Japanese hiding, and now all these Japanese hiding are hiding.

In less than two or three minutes, the artillery fire of the 36th Army extended to the city wall where the Japanese were stationed. One round of artillery shells accurately hit the city wall and made a shocking sound.

Explosions sounded, bricks and stones on the city wall flew around, mixed with the broken limbs of Japanese devils, flying in scattered areas. After two or three rounds of artillery attacks, several sections of the city wall began to collapse.

Inside the city. Japanese command center.

The 10th Division of the Japanese Ancestors and the 30th Division were all together. Now, the Japanese Ancestors' high-level command system is basically paralyzed, and the battle in Zhangjiakou can only be decided by the senior management of the two divisions.

The two Japanese division commanders looked very ugly, and the fierce shelling outside the city continued. The two Japanese divisions felt extremely uncomfortable, but there was no good countermeasure for the moment.

Both of them thought to themselves, would they have to hold on like this? If this continues, they will be afraid that the troops will be completely destroyed. Zhangjiakou will be difficult to defend.

The other senior Japanese officers stood by without saying a word, waiting for the decision of the two Japanese division commanders. Outside, the Japanese were suffering a lot of casualties, and the Japanese officers were not feeling well.

When the Japanese had not come up with a good countermeasure, suddenly, a Japanese colonel broke in. The Japanese colonel's face was covered in blood, in a mess, and panting. It was obvious that he had just run over from the battlefield ahead.

As soon as he entered the command, the Japanese colonel didn't care about salute, but said sadly and anxiously: "Two division commanders, the 36th Army outside the city has begun to bombard the city. Our troops guarding the city are suffering a lot of casualties and can't defend it anymore. The city wall has collapsed in many sections. I'm afraid that the troops of the 36th Army outside will rush over."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the two Japanese commanders changed again and became a little gloomy again.

The commander of the 30th Division said: "Noheijun, the offensive of the 36th Army outside is so fierce. What do you think? Is there any good way?"

The 10th Division of the Japanese devils is a Division A. At the critical moment, the commander of the 30th Division still wanted to seek the opinions of Nobuichi Ye. In fact, the commander of the 30th Division, Yuji Tanaka, had already made plans in his mind.

If Zhangjiakou had only one division, Yuji Tanaka would have been leading his own troops and abandoned Zhangjiakou and retreated to the direction of Peking. Although Zhangjiakou's strategic location is very important, in Yuji Tanaka's view, it is completely unnecessary to hold on here.

However, there is still the 10th Division, and the 10th Division is a Division A. It is still necessary to seek the opinions of Ye Ping Nobuichi. Otherwise, after the war, once Ye Ping Nobuichi came to the top and sued him and said that he had abandoned the city and ran away, he would have suffered.

After hearing the words of the leader of the 30th Division of the Japanese Agents, Hei Nobu Nobuo, the leader of the 10th Division, pondered for a moment, but did not answer first, but asked his chief of staff: "Kobayashi, have you replied to the telegram we sent to Tianjin now?"

The Japanese Chief of Staff stood at attention and said respectfully: "Your Excellency the Division Commander, there is no reply from Tianjin yet."

Upon hearing this, the commander of the Japanese Division was a little angry and thought to himself, what is the newly established North China Front Command doing and how is it so inefficient?

Now, several places in North China were attacked by the 36th Army at the same time. Many telegrams from the Japanese have been sent to Tianjin, but the North China Front Command in Tianjin has just been established, and there are many personnel in various places, especially the senior Japanese commander.

Now, even the newly appointed Suzusaki Nishio was overwhelmed by the sudden arrival of the news, and it was impossible for him to deal with it in a short time, so he has not yet called back to Zhangjiakou.

When the Japanese Chief of Staff saw that his division commander's face changed, he felt a little nervous, so he hurriedly said: "Secretary Commander, the battle situation is urgent now. In a special period, I suggest that we make our own decisions and not die and wait for the instructions from Tianjin."

Alas, it seems that this is the only way. The leader of the Japanese Division, Nori Nobu, sighed and thought to himself, it seems that this is the only way, and he can only make his own decisions.

But now whether to stick to the situation and wait for reinforcements or give up Zhangjiakou and retreat toward Peking, Ye Pingxinyi is still a little confused.

Nobuichi Nobuchi walked around in front of a group of Japanese officers, measuring the pros and cons.

Outside the city.

The artillery bombardment of the 36th Army is almost over. Under the fierce attack of more than 200 cannons, the city walls in the west of Zhangjiakou City have been beyond recognition, and many places have collapsed, and more than two-thirds of the Japanese guarding the city have been killed or injured.

The troops that the 6th and 8th columns were preparing to attack have already begun to attack.

Led by two tank regiments and two mechanized infantry regiments, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed up to the Japanese defensive positions, and the soldiers were as imposing as rainbows.

The Japanese defences were shattered. The six or seven thousand Japanese devils who were stationed in the positions had been killed by three or four thousand. The remaining Japanese devils were either dizzy or had not recovered from the shelling, or were seriously injured and basically lost their ability to resist.

There were less than a thousand Japanese soldiers in the entire Japanese position. When they saw a large number of soldiers from the 36th Army rushing up, they began to panic and force themselves to resist. The other Japanese were either looking blank or being too injured and losing their combat effectiveness.

Nearly a hundred Type 39 tanks, hundreds of Type 39 armored personnel carriers, and more than 200 off-road vehicles, pulled up an attack formation of two or three thousand meters wide and slowly drove towards the Japanese positions. Behind these tanks, several infantry regiments were closely followed.

Gradually, the soldiers approached the Japanese's position. The remaining Japanese saw a large number of chariots coming slowly by the 36th Army. The Japanese all looked decisive and began to fight back.

Suddenly, bursts of shooting sounded from the Japanese devils' positions.

The bullets fired by the Japanese hit dozens of Type 39 tanks that took the lead, making waves of "clang, clang, clang" sounds, rubbing a series of Mars.

The black holes of Type 39 tanks were aimed at the Japanese. Whenever they saw three or four Japanese, they would shoot a "boom" and blow these Japanese directly. One or two Japanese, the scattered Japanese tanks were too lazy to pay attention to these Type 39 tanks.

These Japanese devils who resisted sporadically were handed over to the follow-up troops closely following behind. A large number of armored personnel carriers, off-road vehicles, and a large number of soldiers holding AK47 assault rifles wiped out these Japanese devils one by one.

There were large pits everywhere on the Japanese positions. All the chariots were moving very slowly, not much faster than the charge speed of infantrymen. Fortunately, the violent shelling just now basically blew up the wide trenches on the Japanese positions, and they could drive directly.

Some Japanese bunkers were also blown up. In order to prevent the Chinese team from charging, Japanese used to set up a lot of roadblocks, but now these roadblocks have also been blown away. With the excellent off-road capabilities of tanks, armored vehicles, and off-road vehicles, they can move forward on the Japanese's bumpy positions.

Although the journey was slow, in less than ten minutes, most of the soldiers rushed to the Japanese defensive positions, and everyone began to advance in depth to the Japanese defensive positions.
