Chapter 216 Directly under the column, attack!

When the North China Battle was in full swing, the direct column of the East Field Army stationed on the Chaoyang border was still holding its troops. The special divisions, armored brigades and heavy artillery brigades that were deployed here early in the morning also seemed a little anxious.

As a combat force directly under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Field Army, whether it is the Special Division or the Armored Brigade, even the heavy artillery brigade, they are undoubtedly the fist ace troops of the Northeast Field Army. But now, they have been staying here to watch the show.

Even after the defensive battle started, He Zhengdao issued combat instructions to allow them to rest at ease recently. However, with the defensive battle on the front line, it has been going on for almost a month, and they still have not received any orders for attack.

This seemed somewhat uncontrollable for the officers and soldiers of various troops who were also eager to fight. However, the commanders of the three troops knew that it was very likely that he would be scolded by He Zhengdao if he asked for a rashly.

Just after the Kwantung Army used special bombs against the Third Column of the East-Yeye, but was hit with a sharp counterattack, He Zhengdao's clear power was once again, which made the Japanese and expatriates living in the Northeast seem a little nervous.

Even the Japanese troops in North China, who were preparing to evacuate, immediately strengthened the security alert in the expatriates and concessions. After more confrontations with He Zhengdao, the Japanese also knew that this young Eighth Route General was a commander with strong revenge.

At the same time, consuls from European and American countries who sent consuls in China also knew that the Kwantung Army used special bombs on a large scale on the battlefield. This also means that the Japanese army's methods may be more intense in the subsequent battles.

Everyone knows how harmful special bombs are, and at this moment, the Japanese army is sending reconnaissance and harassing troops to Southeast Asia. Governments have also realized that the Japanese bowl, which has withdrawn from the League of Nations, is truly planning to dominate Asia.

Regarding the retaliation power issued by He Zhengdao, countries once again saw He Zhengdao's iron blood. Under such circumstances, the concessions of various countries also raised the level of security alert.

Soon after, the United States began to prepare for an embargo on the energy materials of the Japanese bowl on the grounds that they violated the "Hague Convention". After the news spread, the Japanese bowl soon realized that the US side planned to take the blame.

Perhaps in Ribo's opinion, the US's approach does seem a bit unauthorized. Once upon a time, they also used special bombs on the Chinese battlefield. But didn't the US turn a blind eye?

Now that special bombs are being used on the Jinzhou front, the US has expanded its influence and is preparing to impose an embargo on energy materials. To some extent, isn’t it just a plan to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to try to kill the expansion of Ribo’s strength in Asia?

Compared to the fact that the United States and Japan began to have a feud, He Zhengdao issued a combat order to attack Fuxin. The special forces division, armored brigade and heavy artillery brigade who received the order also seemed extremely excited, feeling that it was their turn to appear.

Other troops are fighting defensive counterattacks, but this time they take on the task of siegeing cities and plundering land. In contrast, I believe many troops like the latter's offensive tasks. After all, fighting defensive wars sometimes seems awkward!

The officers and soldiers of the direct column who had been resting on the Chaoyang border for a long time naturally had no shortage of morale after receiving the combat order. The special division responsible for reconnaissance and infiltration missions had long figured out the deployment of the Japanese army on the border.

As the heavy artillery brigade suddenly launched a cluster of artillery bombardment, the Japanese defensive position located in the border confrontation area instantly became a piece of artillery. Feeling the sound of explosions on the position, the Japanese army on the position undoubtedly felt a sense of fear of fear.

‘Baga! How could the Eighth Route Army have such a powerful artillery force? These are all heavy artillery!’

In order to ensure the safety of the Fuxin front line, the defensive combat troops deployed by the Kwantung Army are naturally also the relatively elite main combat troops of the Kwantung Army. They also know the power of heavy artillery.

But from the moment when the positions were on the positions and the dense shells fell, the Japanese army on the positions were very clear. Even if they were a main combat division equipped with heavy artillery, they would probably not be equipped with such a large number of heavy artillery.

Although their fortifications were very strong, under the bombardment of heavy artillery with a caliber of mostly over 105 caliber, many anti-aircraft tunnels began to collapse. Many trenches dug were also damaged to varying degrees.

After nearly ten minutes of artillery bombardment, many Japanese troops hiding in the trenches of the positions felt the vibration generated by the ground. When the Japanese front-line observation posts were carefully checked, they soon discovered what shocked the ground.

‘Quick! The Eighth Route Army dispatched combat chariot troops, with at least hundreds of vehicles. Defend, immediately enter the position to launch defense!’

As the Japanese observation post said, at this moment, a large number of Eighth Route Army armored combat vehicles suddenly appeared in front of the Japanese defensive positions. The roaring engines roared straight towards the Japanese defensive positions.

Just as the surviving Japanese began to run into the collapsed trenches nervously, looking at the armored chariots that were beginning to accelerate in the distance and the Japanese troops on the defensive positions, the fear in their hearts undoubtedly aggravated a little.

‘Hurry, send a telegram to the division commander immediately, the Eighth Route Army will launch an attack on us! Damn, how could they have so many chariots? Why didn’t our intelligence department get any news at all?’

When the Japanese commander in charge of position defense was furious and blamed the intelligence force for failing to detect the strength of the Eighth Route Army in advance, the radio station serving as communication seemed to have lost its function at this moment.

‘Captain, our radio station seems to have failed, and the telegram cannot be sent out or received any signal!’

‘Hey! Why did the radio fail? We and the division command center passed the telegram in the morning?’

After hearing the news reported by the staff officer, the Japanese wing captain who was responsible for position defense undoubtedly seemed even more panicked and puzzled. In fact, this was the electronic squad of the special forces division, which launched radio interference during shelling.

There is only one purpose of doing this, which is to block the position and the Japanese army convey intelligence to the rear. Li Xiangdong, who served as the commander, was very confident that he would take down the Japanese defensive position that blocked them in one battle.

As the tanks began to launch artillery bombardment at the forefront of the Japanese position, after one round of artillery shells hit the position, the Japanese army that had already emerged from the anti-aircraft tunnel were occasionally bombed. The casualties of Japanese devils on the position were also increasing.

At this moment, the cooperative combat infantry, which cooperated with the armored regiment assault, also followed the tanks step by step. Once they found the Japanese who entered the range, they would decisively fired and killed these Japanese in advance.

‘Prepare explosive packs and organize suicide squads. You must not let the Eighth Route Army chariots rush onto our position. Hurry! Hurry!’

Looking at the Eighth Route Army tanks and armored vehicles that were about to rush to the position, the Japanese corps captain knew very well. Faced with such armored chariots, their bullets had completely lost their power, and they could only rely on bomb bags to carry out human-bomb counterattacks.

Although he had a quick time to deal with it, facing these coordinated infantrymen from the special forces division, those Japanese troops carrying bomb bags were unable to get close to the tanks at all, so how could they say that they could blow up the tanks together?

The armored vehicles slowly rushed to the position and pushed forward without any rush when facing the Japanese army's tenacious obstacle. The infantry following the tank also steadily advanced forward, constantly shooting and throwing the grenades they carried.

When arriving in the trenches at the Japanese front positions, it is often not the tanks that drive over first, but grenades thrown into the trenches one by one. The Japanese who originally planned to hide in the trenches to commit suicide blasts were naturally damaged by blood.

Some Japanese even had time to pull the fuse on the explosive pack, but were blown away by grenades thrown into the trenches. The explosive packs held by Japanese were directly detonated in the trenches in advance.

Stepping on the corpses and the smoke of gunpowder, elite Eighth Route Army infantry began a massacre attack. Seeing that all frontier positions were declared to fall, the Japanese corps captain knew that they were dead.

Looking at the soldiers who had collapsed and fled, the captain of the corps were very unwilling to give up and could only say: "Order the troops to retreat! Damn it, I hope we can attack the encirclement and pass on this information!"

After the corps captain decisively issued a retreat order, the Eighth Route Army's assault speed also accelerated again. Some civilian officers and soldiers who were burning documents and transfer radio stations were about to step out of the underground fortifications when they heard the dense gunshots coming from their side.

‘Damn it, we were surrounded! Rush and fight out!’

Faced with such rapid pursuit by the Eighth Route Army, these Japanese troops blocked their positions still chose to resist stubbornly. For such Japanese devils, the attacking special division soldiers naturally would not have any sympathy.

The matter of cleaning the battlefield was naturally left to the infantry that rushed forward. However, the tanks and armored vehicles of the Armored Brigade continued to advance along the route of the Japanese retreat, and launched a pursuit of the Japanese like a broken bamboo.

At this moment, all the heavy artillery troops that had finished their artillery bombing began to prepare to transfer positions. They will also follow the main combat troops and continue to advance until the troops advance to Fuxin City.

When the Kwantung Army Command learned that the Fuxin front was broken, Mei Jiro was undoubtedly extremely angry. Just as he was about to dispatch the air force, news came from the front line that the Eighth Route Reconnaissance plane appeared over Fuxin City.

‘Damn it! How could the Eighth Route Army have such a powerful artillery and chariot troops? Generate power to the Fuxin defenders and order them to defend Fuxin City at all costs, so that the Eighth Route Army can no longer push forward.’

Mei Jiro's idea is certainly good, but He Zhengdao, who carried out a local blitzkrieg, would not give him such an opportunity at all. When the offensive troops advanced to Fuxin City, the Armored Brigade and the Heavy Artillery Brigade still did not stop.

The roaring iron armored team, together with the jogging infantry, began to advance towards Fengtian City behind Fuxin. After learning about this situation, the Kwantung Army Command was shocked and they knew that Fengtian was in danger!

At the same time, all forces who have been paying attention to the war in the Northeast finally knew that the Eighth Route Army had hidden strength seemed to be far more than they imagined. This also means that the rise of the Eighth Route Army was unstoppable!
