Chapter 1011 Shock meets resistance
The 1011 Armored 99th Division and the 26th Division, two reinforced armored divisions, about 800 tanks, plus one infantry division and more than 300 personnel carriers, directly attacked the defensive positions set up outside the Japanese Siping City. The other three divisions attacked other positions.
According to Hu Bin's order, today we will completely kill the Japanese here during the day, and they will have other combat missions tonight.
After Xiang Feng's 99th Division launched an attack outside Siping City, the assault speed was very fast. In 10 minutes, it had already penetrated the Japanese defensive positions. The entire Japanese defensive positions were now full of shouts.
There are very few Japanese who fired a counterattack, because the soldiers who came down from the personnel carrier behind would clean up the entire position, mainly cleaning up the Japanese in the underground fortifications.
Some Japanese saw that the Chinese troops were so powerful in attacks, so they hid in underground fortifications, and some even hid in anti-aircraft holes. Now the infantry is doing this, cleaning up one place at a time.
"Report, Xiang Feng Telegraph, the defensive position south of Siping has been attacked, and it took 15 minutes!" A staff officer came over and reported to Hu Bin.
"How many?" Li Haolong heard this, stared at the staff officer with wide eyes and asked.
"15 minutes!" The staff officer looked at the telegram carefully and said to Li Haolong.
"Don't be surprised. In 15 minutes, the defense of the Japanese was really true. It would take more than an hour to kill all the Japanese. Just like the previous position, our troops are still cleaning up those Japanese who are resisting them.
However, after our tanks attacked, the Japanese command system was scrapped. There was no use for many Japanese in the position, and they could not form effective defense at all." Hu Bin turned around and looked at Li Haolong and said.
"Commander, today we can really kill the Japanese on Siping?" Li Haolong said unexpectedly as he looked at Hu Bin.
At this time, he had no idea what to use to describe his shock. He had completely disbelief before, but now before 9 o'clock, the Japanese defensive positions were penetrated, and now the troops were about to attack Siping City and kill the command system inside.
At the same time, the other three armored divisions are now rushing behind other defensive positions and rushing from behind the Japanese defensive positions, and the attack speed is even faster. It is estimated that the main battle will be completely over before 12 o'clock. What remains is to clear the remaining Japanese troops on the entire battlefield.
"It must be killed, not really. We have dispatched so many armored vehicles. This is not a toy vehicle, with more than 2,000 tanks. Don't attack an infantry defense position. What's the use of forming an armored assault group? The name sounds good or is it better to put it together?" Hu Bin looked ahead confidently and said.
"Yes!" Li Haolong was completely convinced when he heard Hu Bin say this.
Now he began to calm down, knowing that he really wanted to change his mind, and could not command the armored troops as he had commanded the infantry before.
"Look at this side and tell Xiang Feng that for an hour, one hour, I want him to break through Siping City. After breaking through, continue to attack the north. Xiao Feng's troops of the 26th Division rushed to the east and killed the Japanese on the positions outside the city.
I telegraphed the other three armored divisions that before lunch today, I asked them to end the main battle, and the troops would start to take a break. Whoever did not complete the task, write a review and fight the reserve team directly next time!" Hu Bin said to Li Haolong and Zhang Baisheng.
"Yes!" the two people nodded immediately and said.
"Yeah!" Hu Bin nodded, then walked to the temporary command center, looked at the defense map of Jilin, and now he still had to think about when the best attack should be!
"Old Zhang, I'm convinced. Today, I may be able to completely defeat the Siping Japanese. I have heard that the commander was very good at fighting. This time I really saw it. No wonder when I came over, our commander said I was lucky!" Li Haolong looked at Zhang Baisheng and said.
"I'm convinced, hey, I regretted it so much. If I had known, I would have gone down to the army, so that I could just watch our troops attack directly in front and learn more!" Zhang Baisheng said with a slap in the thigh.
"Oh, hey!" Li Haolong heard this, covered his face with his hand, and shouted regretfully.
"I suffered a loss, I really suffered a loss. When the monk said it, he asked to go on. We two, hey!" Zhang Baisheng also regretted it very much. They regretted not following the armored troops directly to the front, so that they could master the combat methods of the armored troops as soon as possible.
In Siping City, the commander received a telegram from the brigade commander of the defense force outside the Nanmeng City, and the telegram asked them to retreat as soon as possible.
When the chief of staff saw it, he immediately ordered the staff to start burning information. It has now been explained that Chinese troops will be able to come soon.
The city walls and the troops on the city walls cannot stop the impact of those tanks. Those city walls will probably be bombed by tanks with armor-piercing bombs, and then the tanks will immediately strike, and the defenders in Siping City cannot stop them.
"Send a telegram to the headquarters and tell them that Siping City may be broken at any time, and our command may be attacked by the enemy at any time. Now the first line of defense south of our Siping City has been broken through in 15 minutes, and the second line of defense has also been broken through in 15 minutes.
Our artillery fired at the enemy without the cover of the air force, but was quickly bombed by the enemy and had no effect at all. Now the Chinese armored forces have been dispersed and began to assault our positions.
They may have attacked our positions from behind, and the troops on our positions cannot stop them, so they hope that the headquarters will learn from the defense behind.
Their tanks are so powerful that our ground forces cannot stop them without the support of tanks and aircraft!" The lieutenant general sat there and said to his subordinates.
When the subordinates heard this, they nodded, knowing that they were likely to be unable to escape now, and it would be useless to escape in a car. Chinese fighters and bombers have been hovering over the sky. After receiving the order, they may bomb the targets below.
Therefore, the staff members all knew that they would die this time, and it would probably be up to luck to survive.
At this time, they heard the sound of explosions coming from the south city wall. It was probably that Chinese tanks were attacking the city wall with armor-piercing bombs. They had to blow up a section of the city wall so that the tanks could drive in. With just a city gate, those tanks would definitely not come in. Once the tanks in front were hit, the tanks behind could not come in. Therefore, Chinese tank troops would definitely have to blow up a section of the city wall.
"Boom, boom, boom!" There were constant explosions on the side of the city wall. The defenders in the city knew that Chinese tanks could soon come in. In less than 2 minutes, the Japanese in the city heard a loud rumbling sound. They all knew that the city wall had collapsed and Chinese tanks were coming in.
"Report, the city wall collapsed!" A staff officer said to Xiang Feng on the command car.
"Order the troops to enter the city and take away the Japanese command center for me!" Xiang Feng shouted as he looked ahead.
"Yes!" The staff members heard it and issued orders on the command car, allowing various troops to start entering the city and besiege the Japanese inside the city.
Soon, the tanks passed over the bricks that fell from the city wall, climbed up the hill, and drove into the city.
"Dadada!" The heavy machine gunner on the tank saw that there were Japanese in the city moving, and immediately fired at the Japanese in front.
"After discovering the Japanese, the tank troops scattered, all of them scattered!" An armored regiment commander shouted loudly with a microphone. Now they need to disperse and attack the Japanese.
"Enter me and force them to retreat. Then we will solve the problem together. Don't let a Japanese devil go!" Another regiment commander came in and issued an order.
"Yes!" the staff officer shouted loudly.
Soon, the tanks spread along the streets inside the city. Whenever there were ghosts, they would fire or use heavy machine guns to strafuse them.
"Tamad, there are people of our own country! It's not easy to deal with!" Soon the troops in front discovered that there were Chinese living in many houses!
"What, there are people from our country! Mad, infantry, we need infantry, infantry come up!" A regiment commander immediately shouted after hearing the report the battalion commander said on the radio station.
If the people are discovered, they cannot keep pushing them with tanks. They originally pushed them down according to their combat plan, no matter what is ahead, so that the tank can rush over!
"Report, the people of our country are found living in the city!" A staff officer said to Xiang Feng in the command car.
"What, the people of our country, those Japanese did not drive out the people of our country?" Xiang Feng heard it, very strange. Siping was not big. According to the Japanese's usual practice, they would drive out the people in the city for the sake of defense and security. Of course, big cities would not.
"Yes, what should I do now?" the consultant nodded and asked at Xiang Feng.
"Notify the 22nd Infantry Division behind, immediately transfer a regiment of troops up. Go quickly and let them enter through the city gate. Let our troops guard the city gate and ensure that the city gate is unobstructed!" Xiang Feng thought for a moment and shouted to the staff officer.
"Yes!" The staff officer heard this and went to do it immediately.
