Perhaps because they knew that the war would start tomorrow and the officers and soldiers of the 11th Division, who had been resting for a day, fell asleep early. Although they were worried about whether the Eighth Route Army would attack at night, their camp also arranged a guarded force.

The temporary barracks built after arriving here undoubtedly brought a lot of security to those living in the camp. In addition, the cavalry patrols deployed on the periphery can also ensure the safety around the camp.

At least in the eyes of many Japanese, their patrol and guard troops have been placed three kilometers away from the camp. Once the Eighth Route Army troops appear, these troops can also fire fire and warn them to remind the defenders in the camp.

As long as the Eighth Route Army launches a night attack, the troops resting in the camp can gather and prepare for war in the shortest time. At least in the eyes of many Japanese troops, the Eighth Route Army dares to attack the military camp at night and will only seek hardships.

But no one expected that the Eighth Route Army did not send ground troops to launch a night attack. The artillery brigade that had already touched the ten-kilometer range of the Japanese camp, began to enter the preset artillery position that had been found before, and began to drag the artillery into the artillery position.

When the artillery brigade began to set up artillery, the armored brigade's chariot troops also began to advance to the places where the Japanese camped. However, compared with the range of the artillery brigade entered, the armored brigade stopped further.

The reason is also very simple. They are also worried that the sound of so many chariots will alarm the patrol and guard troops arranged by the Japanese army on the periphery. It can be more than ten kilometers away, unless the Japanese are in a good mood or they cannot hear the roar of motives.

As for when the armored brigade will advance again, it depends on when the artillery brigade launches artillery. Once the artillery brigade launches artillery, the rumbling artillery sound can also cover up the sound of the armored brigade's assault to a certain extent.

In general, He Zhengdao also carefully arranged the raid of the 11th Division of the Japanese Artillery Brigade and Armored Brigade tonight. Even at this time, the artillery regiment of the 1st Infantry Division also participated in the artillery attack tonight.

Even the artillery regiments of the First Division were mostly equipped with 75-caliber artillery guns. However, their range was also outside the sight of the patrol team arranged by the Japanese army, and they could also pose a threat to the Japanese military camp at a long distance.

Two artillery fire clusters, one left and one right, took turns to launch artillery attacks on the Japanese army at night, which could effectively curb the artillery fire power of the Japanese division. They could take care of the front but not the back, and were in a passive situation of being beaten.

If the Japanese army dared to abandon the camp and ran out for field battles, then He Zhengdao would let them know how stupid it would be to run outside the camp. After all, the assault ability of the armored brigade cannot be underestimated.

As the artillery brigade regiments entered the predetermined artillery position, the artillery has been set up, and the artillery brigade commander Zhu Ding also said calmly: "Report to the commander and inform our department that it is ready for artillery attack and can fire at any time!"

‘Yes, brigade commander!’

As a senior subordinate of He Zhengdao, Zhu Ding is still just a brigade commander. But Zhu Ding is also very proud, because his artillery brigade is also the only heavy artillery brigade in the Eighth Route Army, and is equipped with large-caliber artillery.

Such an artillery brigade is unique in the entire army. Zhu Ding was naturally confident when ordered to fight this time. What's more, as the arsenal has imitated large-caliber artillery, he is also looking forward to the expansion of the artillery brigade again!

As the brigade commander of the artillery brigade, Zhu Ding has seen several large-caliber artillery trial-produced by the arsenal. In Zhu Ding's view, those artillery are the main combat artillery of the Eighth Route Army in the future.

Regardless of range and weight, they are better than the artillery equipment of their artillery brigades. However, with the current production level of the artillery factory, it is believed that it will take some time to form a heavy artillery brigade with self-produced artillery.

The purpose of the artillery brigade to fight as an independent branch of the army was also a surprising surprise to the Japanese army. In the eyes of the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army currently deployed artillery to combat troops at the division level, and there were no independent artillery troops.

Only He Zhengdao, who seized a large number of heavy artillery from the Japanese army in the early stage and concentrated them all for use. Before the shells could be copied, the number of times these heavy artillery was used was pitiful.

But the artillery brigade is no longer restricted by artillery shells. In He Zhengdao's words, the more function of the artillery brigade participating in the war this time is to test the artillery shells produced by the Eighth Route Army and see how lethal it is on the battlefield.

Even in the era when He Zhengdao was located, missiles had been the key target of various countries. But He Zhengdao still knew that the several artillery developed by the 6th Army in the early years were also well-known among the 6th Army artillery all over the world.

Even the same artillery has a very different range because it is equipped with several different shells. This has also led to many foreign troops having been somewhat unpredictable about the power of the Chinese 6th Army artillery.

Some special shells often increase the range of several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers when fired with the same artillery. This situation seems to be very incredible to the foreign military.

After receiving a telegram from the Artillery Brigade, He Zhengdao also said calmly: "Report to the electronic team, you can implement electronic interference! Order the Artillery Brigade and the First Division Artillery Corps to launch artillery bombardment on the Japanese camp.

Tell the artillery reconnaissance unit of the Special Division to correct the artillery parameters at any time. I hope to destroy the artillery troops of the Japanese in the shortest time and create opportunities for the armored brigade to attack."

‘Yes, Commander!’

As the chief of staff, Ye Jianying was also full of expectations for the general attack on the 11th Division of the Japanese Army tonight. In his opinion, this is the only time in the Eighth Route Army that has gathered so many elite troops.

Whether it is the Artillery Brigade or the Armored Brigade, they are all troops registered at the Eighth Route Army headquarters. Even in the former independent column, these two troops were He Zhengdao's heart and attached great importance to its training and equipment.

Now these two troops have joined forces to launch an attack, and the combat effectiveness they show is also very much for Ye Jianying to look forward to. After all, these two troops are He Zhengdao's model troops, as the seed troops for the future formation of mechanical troops!

After receiving the combat order issued by He Zhengdao, the electronic jamming troops who had arrived near the Japanese military camp quickly turned on the high-power radio station installed on the carriage. As the radio station was turned on, I realized that the Japanese division could no longer contact the outside world.

It was just that at such a late time, the radio station of the 11th Division would not contact other troops. As for other troops, unless there was something special, I would not report to the 11th Division at will.

However, the purpose of electronic team interference is to prevent the 11th Division from reporting to the outside world after the war begins. This also means that when the rest of the troops want to contact the 11th Division tomorrow, they believe they will face the loss of contact again.

In addition, another intention of He Zhengdao to send electronic jamming troops is to ensure that the two troops fighting tonight will not be known to the Kwantung Army in advance. Doing so can maintain a sense of mystery to the greatest extent.

At least He Zhengdao believed that when the Kwantung Army learned that the 11th Division was completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army overnight, they believed that they would find it incredible. Before they could figure out the reason, the Kwantung Army probably wouldn't dare to act rashly.

In this way, He Zhengdao can transfer the armored brigade and artillery brigade to other battlefields to play their role again. Once these two troops suddenly appear, I believe that it will be a big "surprise" for the Japanese army who did not notice at all!

Looking at He Zhengdao's combat orders, Zhu Ding shook the phone beside him and said, "Start the shelling!"

The first bombardment was the fourth regiment equipped with 1o5 caliber field guns. The maximum range of such field guns seized from the Japanese army can reach ten kilometers. However, in the case of night battles, it is impossible to deploy them ten kilometers away.

But at the current location of the artillery position, it is within the best range of artillery guns. This means that as long as the artillery parameters provided by the Special Forces Division are not incorrect, the shells can accurately penetrate the Japanese military camp.

As the artillery position where the Fourth Regiment was located opened fire first, the huge shelling sounded, and the entire artillery position was also covered by a burst of smoke. Looking at the shells flying out of the cannon chamber, many officers and soldiers were looking forward to these shells killing more Japanese devils.

However, the artillery soldiers at the artillery position didn't think much about it. After cleaning the barrel, they stuffed another shell into the barrel. Not long after another round of vibration, a series of shells roared out again.

The shells that were packed out of the barrel fell from a distance like meteor fire in the night sky, and fell into the Japanese camp with a deadly light. As these shells fell to the ground, the Japanese camp was immediately submerged by a huge explosion.

Listening to the explosion from the camp, the Japanese army, who had just rested for a while, was completely out of the way. In their opinion, the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack with artillery fire was really beyond their expectations.

Masaichi Naito, who had emerged from the tent, looked at the chaos in the camp and said in shock: "Baga, the Eighth Route Army actually carried out long-range artillery bombardment on us? Order the artillery brigade and launch a counterattack immediately!"

‘Hi! General, the artillery brigade has entered the artillery position and is preparing to counterattack. However, judging from the news I just received, the artillery used by the Eighth Route should be the Type 91 field cannon we equipped.’

‘What about it! Our artillery? Baga! No matter what, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army must be destroyed in the shortest time. Order the troops to enter the position and prepare to defend themselves. All the reserve troops enter the anti-aircraft tunnel to avoid artillery fire.’

The messenger seemed a little hesitant about Masaichi Naito. He just looked at Masaichi Naito who was escorted to the underground bunker by the guards, and the messenger did not dare to continue to say anything more.

The reason is that when they built the battalion, there were not many anti-aircraft tunnels. For this reason, it was almost impossible to place so many troops into the bunker to avoid artillery.
