On September 8, 1938, after more than ten days of marching, the Sixth Army of the Jinsui Army, and the Seventh Army finally arrived in Zhengzhou, Henan. After a little rest, the 33rd Army of Zhou Yuanjian, the 34th Army of Yang Chengyuan and the 17th Army of the Seventh Army of Gao Guizi marched again to Xuchang, Kaifeng and Pingdingshan.

Two days later, each department arrived separately. At the same time, each department began to demolish railway construction fortifications in accordance with the tactical guidance given by the National Defense Forces, and moved the people in the city out and used most of the materials for construction fortifications.

Three days after the Jinsui Army arrived, the main force of the Japanese Central China Front Army had arrived in Linying County and was preparing to launch an attack on Xuchang.

There is a reason why the Japanese army came so late. Along the way, they often need to recruit local bandits or tyrants contacted by Qingqi Qingyin of Shanghai. To comfort them, they still have to do some supplies.

At the same time, they also need to give certain authorizations and arrange subsequent prevention work so that they can continue to march.

This greatly slowed down the speed of the Japanese army's march, but the relative benefit was that they could have sufficient rest and prepared their weapons and supplies very well.

"Yo Xi! This Fu Zuoyi is indeed a strong enemy. The defensive fortifications he made are very complete! Our heavy artillery may have achieved very limited results." Matsui Ishione did not rest after arriving in Linying County, but went directly to the position.

After arriving, the Japanese vanguard immediately launched a reconnaissance on Xuchang. After being shot dead, several people sent back the tight defense information of Xuchang back.

Then, the vanguard began to build positions in front of the 17th Army outside Xuchang City. The two sides looked at each other from afar, but neither of them launched the first wave of attacks.

"Hay, Commander! The ring fortifications built opposite, the serial bunker group and the machine gun castle group are very distinctive. I can only see some clues, but I still can't tell how much they are hiding."

Yanagawa Heisuke, who accompanied Matsui Ishigen to inspect the position, said in a deep voice to Matsui Ishigen: "This shows that Fu Zuoyi does have great experience in defense operations. Therefore, he has built such complete fortifications."

"Well... let the 101st Division and the 13th Division enter the position immediately. After a day of rest, we will launch an attack on the positions of the Jinsui Army."

"Hayi!" After the adjutant next to him recorded the order, he turned around and asked the messenger to send the telecommunications department to send a message.

"Yaochuan Jun, I'll leave it to you here! I don't need to see any explanation or any casualties. I just want to see you take down Xuchang City East Report!" Matsui Ishione turned around and patted Yanagawa Heisuke's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Wuhan, we have suffered a great loss! Nanjing is still in a stalemate. The empire now needs us soldiers to improve our confidence. We can't have any news of failure! Do you understand?!"

"Hai!!" Yanagawa Heisuke responded loudly. After Matsui Ishione took his guard and adjutant and left the position directly.

After Matsui Ishien left, Yanagawa Heisuke raised his telescope at the Jinsui Army's position with a wry smile. Can this be shot as soon as possible?! It seems that this seems to be another Shura slaughterhouse.

If the Central Army was stationed here, Heisuke Yanagawa would still be confident. If the Shanxi Sui Army was really the rumored noodle army, Heisuke Yanagawa would be sure. But now people who have some military knowledge in this fortification know that this must be constructed by well-trained soldiers. Say they are the noodle army?! I'm afraid the person who is talking about it is right?!

As night gradually descended, the positions of both sides fell into silence. But no one knew that the war would be extremely fierce as soon as the sky was dawn!

"The 17th Army of Xuchang called Gao Guizi. At 2:00 this afternoon, the Japanese vanguard approached our position. He carried out a tentative attack on our frontier positions. His subordinates ordered the frontier troops to fight back with some easily exposed firepower. The Japanese retreated, and then built a position in front of our position to defend, and did not attack again..."

"At 4:00 pm, troops from the Japanese positions came one after another. The number of people was unknown. According to observations and analysis, the Japanese army may launch an attack on our troops tomorrow morning..."

"A call from Zhou Yuanjian's headquarters of the 33rd Army of Kaifeng. At 4:00 pm, the Japanese army headed to our position. However, the attack was not carried out and only built positions in front of our position and carried out observation and detection. The situation was unknown..."

"The Yang Chengyuan's unit of the 34th Army of Pingdingshan called, and at 4:00 pm, the Japanese army went to our position... The enemy and us had not fought, and after Japan built the position, it did not attack me..."

Telegrams were sent to Fu Zuoyi and Yang Aiyuan's hands. The two of them gradually frowned while holding the telegram. There was no doubt that the Japanese and North China Front Army had now entered the position.

In other words, both sides may start fighting at any time. The Jinsui Army, which is at a disadvantage in heavy firepower, will definitely not be able to take the lead in launching an attack on the Japanese army. Moreover, at the beginning, the task of the Jinsui Army was to block the Japanese army from entering the North China region and threaten the National Defense Forces.

"It's a dragon or an insect... Let's see this battle!" Fu Zuoyi sighed deeply, put the baton on the map and said with a smile: "Let the Huotou team prepare the meal! Give the brothers a full meal and eat well!"

"Yes!!" the adjutant responded loudly, and then he saw that Fu Zuoyi had no orders and went down to pass the order.

"Yisheng... Do you think we can withstand it..." Yang Aiyuan, who had been looking through the combat records provided by the National Defense Forces along the way, sighed: "To be honest, I'm not sure..."

"Hey... I'm carrying one head on both shoulders. Who is more powerful than who?!" Fu Zuoyi also got angry and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid of it! At worst, I'll die in this Zhengzhou city!"

"Hahaha... Yisheng is so bold, I, Yang Aiyuan, will naturally sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!" Yang Aiyuan was also infected by Fu Zuoyi's emotions, and laughed and said loudly: "So what if we beat him once?! At worst, I will die on the battlefield too!"

Fu Zuoyi and Yang Aiyuan didn't know that when the Japanese army arrived at the position, a group of small troops appeared on the battlefield like ghosts.

They did not disturb any of them, lurking in the pile of weeds that seemed to be unable to hide. One by one, the iron pipes that looked like farm tools were assembled and turned into killing machines! They looked so many ferocious under the pale moonlight.

The Japanese army didn't know that there was a small army of more than 30 people ambushing outside their artillery positions. This small army was constantly outlining the positions of several Japanese artillery positions.

And those tanks covered with rain cloth were also observed by some unknown people.

The night gradually faded away. The red sun gradually rose in the light of the dew. Obviously, the Japanese army had great confidence in this battle, and they did not attack the position at this best time at dawn.

Instead, they waited until dawn to prepare for the attack on the position.

"Wuwuwu..." One cannon was pushed to the Japanese artillery position, and the extremely ferocious muzzle aimed at the opposite position!

In the position outside Xuchang City, countless figures were constantly moving. Under the command of their respective commanders, they quickly entered the position, then hid in the anti-cannon hole and grew mouths waiting for the Japanese artillery bombardment.

The few observation posts on the position tried their best to hide themselves, and then stared at the Japanese army's attack with big eyes.

"Chir...bang!!" At 8 o'clock in the morning, as a red signal flare took off, the Japanese army's attack officially unfolded! However, countless artillery began to roar in an orderly manner, as if thunder suddenly burst out in the clear weather!

"Chirp...boom!boom!boom..." After the thunder, there was a crazy roar! Then the whole earth began to tremble, and countless castles, trenches and soil were overturned into the air!

The windows of a few people in Xuchang City with glass were shattered in response to the sound, and the broken glass fragments fell to the ground. Some people who did not follow the advice of the 17th Army and retreated from Xuchang City began to regret it.

Some of them had experienced wars and thought it was just a war. But where did they go through such wars with countless heavy artillery roaring?! At the first moment, they judged that the war would be extremely tragic.

Staying here is undoubtedly the most wrong choice.

"Coordinates... Angles... Wind..." With the roar of heavy artillery, a man in the grass was constantly reporting on the numbers. And behind this man was a ferocious 107 tiger roar!

"Six Japanese artillery positions have been confirmed and can be prepared for launch!" Half an hour after the shelling began, the man slowly lowered his telegraph and the telegraph hanging on his ears and said in a deep voice.

"Okay! Order all tigers to roar and start preparing! Launch after the Japanese artillery is over! Observe the team. Pay attention to assessing the losses!"

"yes!!"

The Japanese heavy artillery troops are now very happy to bomb. The shells are sent to the position like running water. The coordinates are occasionally fine-tuned under the command of the front-line observation post.

The opponent has not yet had any artillery fire counterattacks, which means they may not have any heavy firepower or have problems in coordinate evaluation.

No matter which one it is, it is a good thing for the Japanese artillery.

"Assault!!" The sound of artillery gradually subsided. At this time, there were waves of charge howlings coming from the Japanese positions. Under the guidance of several 97-style modifications, the Japanese infantry began to fight towards the positions of the 17th Army!

The sound of the tank tracks in Kerala came to the position with the momentum of crushing everything. The Japanese infantry behind them continued to march towards the position of the 17th Army under the cover of the tanks.

"His grandma! Take the tank when you start the war?! You can look too far from me, Gao Guizi?!" In Xuchang City, Gao Guizi gritted his teeth and cursed at the Japanese tanks: "Damn it... Tell the brothers below to fight! Don't lose the face of our Jinsui Army!"

"Yes!!" the adjutant responded loudly, then rushed down and called the frontier position.

"Quick! Go to the position and enter the castle! The Japanese army is fighting!" The officers commanding the battle on the position roared with red eyes and were bombarded for about an hour. Most of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army were dizzy.

But under the command of their respective commanders, they rushed out of the position and poured into trenches and castles everywhere with weapons. All light and heavy machine guns were set up, and Japanese tanks and infantry gradually appeared in their sight.

"Little and elephant fight against rabbits, all use all their strength." Yanagawa Heisuke smiled and looked at the charge of the Japanese troops with a telescope, and said to his subordinates: "Don't underestimate any enemy, any contempt may lead to failure! This is a fatal problem, do you understand?!"

"Hayi!!" Several division commanders responded loudly. Although they felt that using such a large amount of firepower to this position was a waste. But they were just division commanders. Disobeying the commander of the army was not a good thing for them.

"Tututu...dadada..." When the Japanese tanks and infantry approached the Jinsui Army's positions, countless light and heavy machine guns sounded. Some Japanese infantry were knocked down by stray bullets. The bullets hitting the tanks were bounced away by ding-double.

The subsequent Japanese army quickly fell down, and then the machine guns and artillery on the tanks also began to launch artillery fire points! It's great to have a tank! The Japanese soldiers sighed in their hearts.

"Prepare... let go!" Just when the Japanese army was happy, some squads were even more happy. The roar of the Japanese army's heavy artillery obviously exposed their position, and they didn't have time to transfer. They would taste the feeling of being bombarded with just a meal of tiger roar.

This is enough. The tiger roar cannot be exposed. Until now, the tiger roar has not been equipped with too many troops. In general, it is mostly a killer weapon such as the "Storm 75 Type 40-barrel self-propelled rocket launcher" of the Second Artillery Unit.

The title of the Second Artillery Unit is undoubtedly an extremely concealed name. Many people only think that it is just an artillery unit. At most it is a self-propelled artillery unit.

No outsider thought that this was actually an army equipped with a weapon like "Storm 75 40-pipe self-propelled rocket launcher"!

"Swoosh swish swish swish swish...boom!boom!boom..." The Japanese army finally suffered revenge, but it was not the artillery fire of the Shanxi Sui Army that revenge them but rockets from the National Defense Forces.

However, now they obviously think that the artillery fire came from the Jinsui Army. However, countless rockets were dragging their long tail flames and rushed towards the Japanese artillery positions.

The Japanese troops who were packing up artillery and preparing to transfer positions were hit by these rockets before they could howl.

Although the accuracy of 107 is indeed a problem, the advantage is that it has strong coverage. Just two 18 rockets with 107 tiger roar can cover the artillery position.

"Boom! Boom!! Boom..." The Japanese artillery screamed from the position, and countless Japanese heavy artillery were bombarded into scrap iron during the explosion.

The blown-off parts were flying everywhere, and even the Japanese garrison squadrons stationed outside the camp were affected. Almost all the Japanese troops near that position were smashed into a pile of waste meat by the splashed parts.

The plasma was sprayed all over the sky like no money, and countless remaining limbs were flying in the air.

"Record... more than half of the Japanese artillery positions were lost. About two-thirds of the artillery casualties... The garrison troops suffered slight casualties... The Japanese army reacted very quickly, and someone had come to take over and treat him..."

The squads outside the Japanese artillery positions kept observing the situation of the Japanese artillery positions with telescopes, and reported to the command center behind them through radio waves.

"Kerala..." The Japanese tanks had entered more than 100 meters of the Jinsui Army, while the Japanese infantry used the cover of the tank to charge towards the positions of the 17th Army.

Grenade launchers and light and heavy machine guns were roaring continuously, and the firepower points of the Jinsui army were blown to the point of silence. Some of the castles were bombarded under the Japanese artillery bombardment.

"Assault!!" The first charge was made. The Japanese army called a unit of troops to try to directly break through the defense of the Jinsui Army.

"Follow me! Kill the enemy!!" A series of roars came from the position, and countless soldiers of the Jinsui army roared and rushed out of the position and rushed towards the Japanese army!

Twenty or thirty meters in front of the position, the two sides immediately killed each other!

"TuTuTuTuTuTu..." The Japanese tanks rushed up in a mad manner, and countless soldiers of the Shanxi Sui army were swept down by heavy machine guns on their vehicles. The anti-tank trenches that were previously excavated had been damaged in artillery fire and could not stop the Japanese tanks at all.

"Kerala..." The Japanese tanks were extremely arrogant and kept crushing towards the position.

"Damn it!!" A man had bloody eyes, grabbed a lit moor bottle and was about to pounce on the Japanese tank. But he was swept down by the tank's machine gun without taking two steps.

The moor bottle was also broken, and gasoline sprayed on him and burned. Screams rang throughout the position, but there were still countless soldiers of the Shanxi Sui army roaring towards the Japanese tanks!

"Boss, do you think the old men of the Academy of Sciences say that this thing can penetrate 50 mm armor within 400 meters?! I don't believe it..." A man holding a weird big gun kept exploding in the grass with cold light in his eyes, and he was giggling foolishly on the corner of his mouth.

Although he was giggling, the man could not stop working. He quickly put down the gun in his hand, adjusted the optical scope on it bit by bit and tightly wrapped the Japanese tank that was showing off.

"It's okay, let's smash the turtle of this slut and you'll know whether the old men are saying true or not." A man was also sneering, and he was holding such a weird big gun in his hand.

"Aim... let it go!"

"Bang...boom!!" With a roar, the Japanese tanks that were showing off their might were hit! They paused and exploded suddenly!

On this side of these men, I just saw their big gun bullets drilling a hole in the tank. But on the other side of the tank, a huge hole exploded directly on the armor of the Japanese tank!

The mouth was like a baby's mouth, but what was flowing out was not saliva but pieces of flesh and blood! What was sprayed out were pieces of minced meat and limbs, as well as the broken internal parts of the tank.

"Boom!!" A tank should have been hit by the ammunition box, and the entire tank exploded directly! The turret was blown away several meters high, and it fell down to smash the Japanese infantry behind it, making them cry and howl.

After the men carrying big guns were beaten, they didn't even look at them, and they just retreated to the back...
Chapter completed!
