Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

The counterattack in the city was extremely strong, and the dense fortifications also gave people a headache.

Zhang Dabiao ordered his troops to hold the gap and asked Ding Wei for air bombing.

The roar of fighter jets appeared at the edge of the battlefield, and from the south of the attack point, they carried out indiscriminate bombing towards the city.

Bombs fell one after another.

The violent explosion made the sea water tremble.

A huge bombing formation consisting of 200 fighter jets wreaked havoc on the defenders in the city.

The bombs were delivered densely, and each bomb was accompanied by a loud roar.

The blast waves surged and swept over hundreds of meters.

The defenders of Jinzhou showed expressions of despair, and the machine cannon and machine gun fire from the air were like knives falling from the sky.

The bullets flew in a straight line.

If you touch it, you will die; if you touch it, you will be injured.

As for Jinzhou Airport, since the National Army Air Force participated in the war, it was also called the Air Force.

It's just an air force that specializes in transporting supplies and treasures.

Compared with Ding Wei's flying formation, it has neither numerical advantage nor combat effectiveness advantage.

Fighter planes raged in the sky, indiscriminately bombing the city and blocking the airport as well.

After a round of bombing, the planes reluctantly left the battlefield only after they had used up all of their onboard bullets.

The city was in chaos.

Zhang Dabiao threw his hat and ordered the artillery of four divisions to advance.

"Commander, the city has been ravaged, it's time for the brothers to charge."

Faced with the questions from his staff, Zhang Dabiao simply repeated the orders.

"The firepower of the other four divisions is pressing in. The mountain artillery regiments, mortar companies, and heavy mortar companies of the divisions are all pressing in. Use artillery shells to bombard the city again."

This siege is different from previous ones.

It's different from fighting the Japs. The Japs are straightforward and will fight you with bayonets.

Unlike the old foxes in the National Army, they would hide in the gutter and shoot from behind.

The biggest difficulty in street fighting is the complex environment, where troops may be hidden in every dark corner.

Zhang Dabiao had to use firepower twice and then deploy his elite troops.

Can reduce a large number of unnecessary casualties.

The artillery in Kong Yong's hands is not as good as Zhang Dabiao's, but the artillery regiment directly under the column can also be pulled out for practice.

There are 18 122mm howitzers and 24 76mm field guns.

The division's artillery battalion and mortar company also joined in and launched a fierce attack on the combat area.

There are a large number of mortars in the column, especially 120mm and 107mm mortars. However, they are not as good as howitzers and cannons in siege.

Because the mortar's projectile firepower is more suitable for killing enemies on a large scale, it is not suitable for bombarding fortifications and bunkers.

But the shrapnel scattered by the mortar can effectively kill the soldiers hiding in the ruins.

Artillery has different advantages and disadvantages, so just combine them and use them together.

The howitzer fired one round and the mortar fired one round of rapid fire.

While hiding in the anti-artillery fortification, Mr. Fan suspected that there was a traitor around him.

Wherever he hid, the artillery would bombard him.

This was really unfair to the guards around him. There was indiscriminate bombing outside. There was simply sufficient artillery fire that covered the entire city.

After the fire coverage, the troops entered the city's street fighting one after another.

He was extremely cautious. As soon as he spotted the figure and his hand was on the trigger, he saw the other person raising his arm.

Holding guns in both hands, shouting "surrender".

What a joke! Ordinary soldiers have never experienced such a scene. The artillery fire lasted for 2 hours without interruption.

First there was bombing by planes, then by howitzers, and finally by mortars.

Just when we were catching our breath, a large number of infantry and tanks came over.

The tank's gun barrel was almost hitting my forehead.

One shot after another blasted open the heavy machine gun fortifications.

A proper dimensionality reduction attack.

They were either tank guns or rocket launchers. At worst, there were battalion-level anti-tank guns that could be pushed up to attack the Kuomintang’s fortifications.

There were sufficient artillery pieces, the firepower was fierce, and the advance was rapid.

Ding Wei's troops had a very distinct combat style. They attacked sharply and seized every opportunity to launch a fierce attack, often able to break through the situation in one wave.

While the soldiers in the city were still holding out, the defending officers led by Mr. Fan were so frightened that they fled.

Before the battle was over, the officer ran away.

Do the remaining soldiers still have the will to resist?

Morale is rapidly declining, so it is not surprising that there are large numbers of surrenders now.

"They are all our own people. We will not kill them if they surrender their weapons. We will treat the prisoners well."

As the shouting continued, more and more soldiers surrendered.

Zhang Dabiao continued to press forward into the troops, capturing prisoners where necessary and advancing where necessary, concentrating firepower to break through the enemy's defenses.

Penetrating the grassroots management department, the defenders of Jinzhou were completely paralyzed.

Kong Yong's column also entered the city one after another, and the forces of eight divisions swept across, pushing from the east and north to the south.

Looking down from the air, the reconnaissance plane could see the enemy advancing like a tidal wave.

Use anti-tank guns, infantry guns, and mortars to quickly push down the strongholds in the city.

The tanks were in the front and crushed the enemy to victory.

It took only 6 hours to knock on the gate of Jinzhou, and the battle was expected to be over within 12 hours.

The national army suffered more than 1.3 casualties, and a large number of soldiers were damaged by artillery bombardment.

It is roughly estimated that there are more than 8 prisoners in the city.

The crushing battle demonstrated the troops' powerful offensive capabilities.

After receiving the battle report from the front line, Ding Wei, without any hesitation, simultaneously ordered the troops stationed in the direction of Tashan to prepare for a counterattack.

During the attack on Jinzhou, four armies of the North China Corps pressed towards the Liaoxi Corridor.

The two columns of Kong Jie and Wang Tao pressed towards Huludao.

The 8th and 9th columns were deployed along the flanks of the Liaoxi Corridor.

In order to support Jinzhou, the North China Corps continuously relied on land and sea transportation to increase troops in Huludao.

Among them, the 54th Army, the 62nd Army, the 92nd Army and an independent 95th Division, with a total of more than troops, were deployed to the Huludao area and were called the Eastward Corps.

There are planes, cannons, and warships at sea to assist in the bombardment.

The morale of the reinforcement corps was high and they were confident that they could quickly defeat Ding Wei's blocking troops, reinforce Jinzhou, and complete the strategy of advancing both east and west.

On the surface, there were only two columns led by Wang Tao and Kong Jie in the direction of Tashan. In fact, Gao Qing's first column had already reached the flank.

Niang Xipi always believed that a column of the East China Field Army was equivalent to a division.

Ding Wei had more troops, but the two columns had the strength of two divisions, which added up to only 4 people.

One hundred thousand troops advancing eastward fought against 4 troops. Even a child could fight this kind of battle.

Moreover, the northeastern area of ​​Huludao is a plain, without any strategic terrain to hold on to, so the only way to fight is to rely on fortifications.

This gave the Eastward Corps a much greater advantage in winning.

It is estimated that half a day will be enough to break through the defense line.

This was a free military achievement. The original commander of the Eastward Corps was Hou Jingru, but because Commander Hou also had to participate in the troop mobilization, Que Hanqian was appointed as deputy commander.

In order to win military merit, the deputy commander did not wait for the right opportunity and arranged three divisions to launch a fierce attack on the Tashan defense line.

It would have been fine if he had just stolen the military merits, but he also had his own little tricks up his sleeve.

In the 54th Army under his command, the 198th Division was his main force, and the 8th Division was not favored, so he let the 8th Division take the lead in the attack and be the first to step on the mines.

At the same time, the temporary 62nd and 151st Divisions were arranged to launch a fierce attack on the Tashan defense line together.

The two columns stationed in the area at this time had fully understood Ding Wei's defensive principles. They set up staggered blocking positions, dug alternating trenches, and deployed minefields.

Adopt a strict and defensive attitude.
