Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Only the Japanese knew the situation regarding General Terauchi Hisaichi, and the outside world had not received any information.

After the cavalry brigade commander reported the situation here to the Eastward Column, Ge Dayong took the telegram without thinking much about it.

The cavalry brigade continued to carry out their combat mission.

Meanwhile, time came to the afternoon.

On the Baofu front line, under the command of Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu, the final encirclement of the Japanese and puppet troops in Mancheng County and Qingyuan County has been completed.

Xushui County, Command Center!

"Report to the Chief of Staff!"

A combat staff officer hurried over with several telegrams and said, "Our troops have completed their movement. The retreat routes to the two counties have been blocked."

"The Japanese and puppet troops have become completely isolated!"

Upon hearing the words of the combat staff, Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu showed an excited expression and couldn't help but start rubbing his hands in anticipation of trying it out.

"Hahaha!"

"I've been waiting for this moment!!"

"Damn it! Who could have thought that the Japanese would kill themselves?"

At this point, Wang Tiezhu didn't waste any words and said directly, "Telegram to all troops. In ten minutes, the 1st Air Brigade and the artillery units will immediately bomb the county town."

"Don't worry about the houses in the county town. There are no civilians inside. Bomb them!"

"After half an hour of bombing, the troops will launch an attack." Wang Tiezhu checked his watch and said, "It's now 1:05 PM. We'll try to end the battle within three hours."

Three hours doesn't sound long, but the Japanese have the county town as their support, and Wang Tiezhu is a little overwhelmed.

But Wang Tiezhu still issued such an order, which shows that he has absolute confidence in his own ability.

In the face of their powerful firepower, these are all false.

What city walls? What strongholds? What permanent firing points? Under the impact of large-caliber aerial bombs, napalm, and heavy-caliber artillery, these were all illusions, easily shattered by the slightest touch of the hand.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the combat staff officer saluted and responded loudly, then turned around and left quickly to give orders.

Soon, the order was conveyed to all troops, and they immediately began to prepare!

"idiot!!"

In Mancheng County, the Japanese lieutenant general looked at the artillery pieces standing up in the distance, the planes ready for battle, and the black mass of planes approaching in the distant sky, and his heart began to sink.

With his retreat cut off, he is now isolated, and the actions of Chu Feng's troops are likely to lead to a general attack.

He had no idea what to expect from such powerful firepower, given the county town and its well-prepared fortifications. After cursing, he continued to look through the telescope and asked, "How's the situation at headquarters? No news yet?"

"no!"

Hearing the question from the Lieutenant General Division Commander, the Japanese Major hurriedly shook his head.

"idiot!!!"

This answer made the Japanese Lieutenant General Division Commander even more desperate.

"Go back first!"

Knowing that the attack was imminent, the Japanese Lieutenant General Division Commander ordered his troops to prepare for battle, and then he returned to the headquarters with his men.

The city wall is not safe here. This place will definitely become the main place for Chu Feng’s troops to bombard and attack.

As soon as we entered the headquarters, the Japanese lieutenant general's voice rang out again: "Keep sending telegrams. Make sure to contact them. By the way, contact the Shimen area to see if they can send in reinforcements."

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Wooooooooooooooo!! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Wooooooooooo! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"..."

Ten minutes passed quickly. Before the Japanese lieutenant general could finish his words, the sound of artillery shells breaking through the air was heard, followed by violent explosions on the city walls and in the county town.

At the same time, more than 80 fighter planes and bombers also flew over the county town. As the sound of the aircraft engines sounded, aerial bombs and napalm bombs weighing hundreds or thousands of kilograms were dropped.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

Every time an aerial bomb explodes, a huge crater will appear, and the surrounding houses and people will be killed.

Every time a napalm bomb falls, it brings about a large sea of ​​fire.

For a time, Mancheng County, which had already suffered from bombing and artillery attacks, became even more dilapidated.

As the command center, it had long been moved underground.

Knowing that Chu Feng’s air force was powerful, they naturally built underground fortifications.

Mancheng County, North Gate!

The dilapidated city wall finally couldn't hold on and collapsed!

Even after being reinforced, hundreds of tons of artillery shells can flatten even a small hill.

"Hahaha!!!"

The commander of the 1st Brigade, who had already arrived in Mancheng County, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Li Daniu, the head of the reconnaissance group, also smiled and said, "Once the city wall is broken, the surrounding fixed firepower points will not be able to withstand it. In half an hour, it will be enough to knock them down."

"Without the cover of the city walls and fixed firing points, the battle could be over in two hours, let alone three."

Hearing Li Daniu's words, Liu Yiyun also smiled and agreed: "Yeah, that's right!"

"Three hours is a safe bet. Earlier would be even better. I'm thinking of taking my troops to Jinshi and confronting the main force of the Japanese."

"I heard that the number of Japanese and puppet troops gathered there is about to exceed 100,000!"

"This is a big battle, we can't miss it!"

As soon as Liu Yiyun said this, Li Daniu showed a hint of anticipation, but soon shook his head and said, "Our reconnaissance regiment can't get through. You two brigades will go."

"The majority of the Japanese and puppet troops here have been wiped out, but we can't let our guard down. I'm afraid the Chief of Staff will leave me behind to lead the garrison regiment to prepare for defense."

The half-hour bombing passed quickly, followed by the loud sound of the charge.

The artillery fire began to extend to the county town, and the offensive forces that had been prepared for a long time launched attacks from all directions.

Just as Liu Yiyun and Li Daniu said, the firepower points were destroyed and the Japanese and puppet troops could not stop the attack of the troops at all.

Equipped with rocket launchers, such a powerful offensive weapon, the troops launched a general attack. After more than ten minutes, the troops rushed into the county town and started fighting street battles with the Japanese and puppet troops.

At the same time, the Japanese and puppet troops in the defensive positions outside the county town were also attacked from both sides.

For the firepower thief!

When the attack is not going smoothly, use the walkie-talkie to call for fire support or air support.

The Japanese soldiers were completely stunned!

"Baga?!!!"

"The Chinese, who are not brave men, dare not fight us with bayonets?"

"What kind of hero is that to call for artillery support?"

"Calling for air support, what kind of warrior is that!!!"

“Bagya Road!!!”

No one paid any attention to the Japanese soldiers' curses. The Japanese soldiers, who had been prepared for street fighting and wanted to fight to the death, found that the other side did not play by the rules.

The Japanese's arrangements were completely useless and they were overwhelmed by the powerful firepower!

Two hours later, the Japanese and puppet army headquarters in the two county towns were captured.

The battle on the Baofu front is completely over!

No surprises, no setbacks, no special circumstances!

Side push!

Absolute firepower, absolute strength. In the face of absolute strength, the Japanese had no room for resistance at all.

With the end of the battle, nearly 40,000 Japanese and puppet troops entrenched in the Baofu front were completely wiped out, and no one escaped!
