Sitting in an armored personnel carrier, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help frowning after reading the telegram sent by Fan Haiyang. After seeing this situation, Nie Ziwen hurriedly asked: "Stand Master, what happened? What made you so frown.

..”

Lu Mingxuan handed the telegram in his hand to Nie Ziwen, and then said to him: "The Japanese occupied a small town ahead. They were digging anti-tank trenches outside the town and burying landmines. None of these are the most important, the most important thing is

The Japanese arrested all the villagers in the town and forced them to build various fortifications with guns. Fan Haiyang rescued some of them, but at least hundreds of civilians were in the hands of the Japanese.

.”

He originally planned to launch a bombardment on the Japanese with the Destruction First, and then order the tanks and infantry to attack, so that the Japanese would be almost terrible.

But unexpectedly, I encountered this situation. If the Japanese were bombarded on a large scale according to the original plan, they would definitely hurt the villagers by chance. What should I do?

After reading the telegram, Nie Wen also felt a headache. How could he encounter such a thing?

If you eliminate this enemy desperately, it will cause a large number of casualties to the people, but if you are concerned about those people, it will inevitably cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers. This is really a dilemma.

"The Japanese really will give me some problems." Lu Mingxuan said lightly.

"What do you think of us assaulting the support center?" Nie Ziwen thought for a while and said.

"Attack the support?"

"That's right, according to the information obtained by our reconnaissance aircraft, an enemy brigade has rushed to support this enemy from Yangzhou. As long as we surround this enemy and put some pressure on them, the enemy's brigade will definitely ignore it.

Everyone marched at full speed. We took the opportunity to ambush them halfway, so that we would definitely be able to easily defeat the brigade." Nie Ziwen said.

"very nice."

"Even when we are about to wipe out the brigade in Yangzhou, we can temporarily slow down our offensive against them and let them desperately ask for help from the enemy's headquarters. At that time, the enemy may dispatch the enemy in front of us.

Go to rescue, and then we can wipe out these two enemies in one fell swoop." Nie Ziwen said after thinking about it.

"What a good idea! Ziwen, when did you become so cunning? This is not like you before." Lu Mingxuan smiled and patted Nie Ziwen's shoulder hard and said.

"This is what the butt determines the head. When your every move determines the life and death of countless soldiers, you have to think about it with all your strength to make the most correct decisions. Because every decision you make may lead to a large number of people

I am also driving the soldiers to put them on the shelves," Nie Ziwen said with emotion.

Lu Mingxuan smiled and shook his head. It seemed that this war had a great impact on Nie Ziwen.

"And we have to find a way to hide from the enemy's reconnaissance aircraft. With such a large-scale troops, it is difficult to hide from the enemy's reconnaissance aircraft." Nie Ziwen continued.

"Then use the plane to shoot down the enemy's reconnaissance plane and send me a report to Zhou Zhirou. I need the full cooperation of the Kuomintang Air Force. If they don't cooperate, I will directly look for Chiang Kai-shek." Lu Mingxuan thought for a while and said.

After hearing his words, Nie Ziwen couldn't help laughing. I guess Zhou Birou must have felt a headache when she met an unreasonable guy like Lu Mingxuan. But this unreasonable guy still controls the supply of their military aircraft.

Zhou Zhirou was also very depressed after receiving the telegram from Lu Mingxuan. Can't this bastard Lu Mingxuan be more polite when he speaks? He always asks the chairman for complaints.

However, considering that the Chairman was very angry recently, and with the Chairman's instructions, he decided to cooperate with Lu Mingxuan's actions.

"Report to the brigade commander, our scouts found the main enemy force 3 kilometers away from this town."

Just as Tokuro Numata was deploying the town defense, a messenger ran in and said.

This news shocked everyone in the command center. Has the enemy finally arrived?

"I get it." said Tokushige Numada. "How long will it take for our air support to arrive?"

When he learned that the 189th Division was about to launch an attack on the 26th Brigade, Asakagumiya King Hirohiko promised to provide him with air support as quickly as possible.

"The Mugenjin Airlines fleet deployed in Taiwan has taken off and is flying towards Shanghai. They can only fly here after they meet with the Shanghai plane." At this time, one of his staff officers said.

"Haga! Why are their speed so slow?" Numada Tokughi said with great dissatisfaction, "Now I order everyone to prepare for battle and prepare for the enemy's attack."

"Hi!"

189th Division, let me learn about your power, Numada Tokughi thought with a serious face.

*******

*******

Three kilometers away from this town, a soldier was jumping off the tank. Due to the lack of trucks for transporting troops, Lu Mingxuan had to order a large number of soldiers to ride on the tanks. However, for those soldiers, this

It was definitely a novel experience.

But even so, a large number of soldiers still had to follow the team on foot, because the 189th Division's current capacity is really limited.

At this time, the artillery soldiers had already begun to build artillery positions. Although Lu Mingxuan did not intend to launch a destructive artillery bombardment on the town, it was still necessary to carry out a certain degree of artillery fire strike.

"The report division seat, Wuhan base camp sent a message that a large number of enemy aircraft are gathering over Shanghai. The target of these aircraft is very likely to be us. Please prepare for air defense." At this time, a messenger ran over and said.

"I understand, they still have some conscience and have not harmed us." Lu Mingxuan said lightly.

It's really troublesome. What he hates the most is the enemy's planes, which makes his tank army feel restrained.

But his air force was not strong enough to completely suppress the enemy, which undoubtedly made him very distressed.

"How long does it take for their plane to fly here?" Lu Mingxuan said.

"It will take about two hours." Nie Ziwen replied.

Lu Mingxuan nodded and said, "Two hours are enough for us to launch a test-tested attack on this town."

"Order our plane to take off immediately and must arrive here as fast as possible. In addition, I informed Zhou Zhirou that I need air support and a lot of air support."

"In addition, all infantry and armored infantry should be notified to prepare for air defense for me. The artillery will first launch a 5-minute shelling on the enemy. I must let the enemy know how powerful we are." Lu Mingxuan thought for a while and said.

He was originally planning to launch an hour-long shelling on the town, but considering that the civilians had to reduce to 5 minutes.

"As for orders, sir."

After receiving Lu Mingxuan's order, all the soldiers immediately took action. They began to build air defense positions one by one, and one by one, the anti-aircraft tripods were mounted. Hitler's power was transformed into an anti-aircraft machine gun.

The distance between the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns was also opened to avoid greater losses when bombed by the bomber. The bullet chains were pressed onto the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and a pressing machine gun pointed diagonally into the sky in the distance, and then quietly

Waiting for the arrival of the Japanese plane.

The large-caliber m2hb heavy machine guns on armored personnel carriers only need to make very simple preparations. They are Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine guns.

On the artillery position in the distance, there are 55 m43 type 155mm self-propelled artillery, 61 wasp 105mm self-propelled artillery, and 36 m1943 type mortars pointing obliquely towards the sky, waiting for artillery observers to shoot Zhu Yuan and they will conduct an attack on the enemy

The bombardment of the destruction surname.

Wang Zhiyong sat in an artillery observation vehicle, and then escorted down from two T34 tanks to the front of the town.

Through the artillery observation mirror, he carefully observed the town in the distance, and then said to the radio operator: "The first observer of the Artillery Battalion, the artillery mission, the position is 15-00, the ruler is 5000, and the grenade round will be carried out.

shoot."

The radio communicator conveyed his words to the artillery battalion, and soon a grenade roared over from a distance, and then landed heavily 500 meters in front of the town.

Wang Zhiyong carefully observed the bounce point, and then continued: "Add 50 to the right, 1,000 to the distance, and continue to perform shooting."

Soon another cannonball flew over from a distance, and then landed heavily in the middle of the town.

Seeing this, Wang Zhiyong nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the radio communicator: "Hit the target and notify the artillery to carry out intensive shooting of the target for 5 minutes."

After receiving Wang Zhiyong's notice, all artillery soldiers immediately corrected their shooting elements and then loaded shells into the barrel.

Soon a rumbling sound of cannons sounded, and smoke and dust were blown up from the artillery positions of the 189th Division. Then 152 shells streaked across the sky and landed heavily in the town.

The town immediately heard continuous explosions, and any houses hit by these heavy artillery collapsed. In front of these 100mm caliber shells, the brick and wood structure houses were as vulnerable as tofu.

Soon, nearly one hundred shells flew over from afar. The Wasp-style 105mm self-propelled artillery had a very fast firing rate, almost capable of firing every 10 seconds.

The old Russian M1943 120mm heavy mortar is even more terrifying, with a firing rate of up to 12-15 pieces per minute. It can quickly send shells weighing up to 15.8 kilograms to the distance, and its power is absolutely terrifying.

When they began to show their strength, the houses in this town immediately began to collapse constantly, and there were continuous explosions everywhere. The whole town seemed to be trapped in hell, and the explosion produced thick black smoke.

Covering the sky of the entire town.

Seeing this, Wang Zhiyong couldn't help feeling very unbearable. He was not worried about the devils' worthless, but about the people who still fell into the devils. He didn't know how many people could survive this shelling.

On a small hill in the distance, Lu Mingxuan quietly looked at the town in the distance with a telescope. Suddenly, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then said to a messenger beside him: "Notify the artillery and stop the artillery attack immediately."

"Why?" Nie Ziwen asked in surprise.

"I underestimate the power of our artillery too much. If the shelling continues like this, the town will be completely destroyed." Lu Mingxuan said with a wry smile.

In less than two minutes, Lu Mingxuan's artillery sent more than 2,000 shells with a caliber of 100mm to the town. Just from these numbers, we can see how much damage the town has suffered.

He was really worried that all the people would be killed by the bombing. Even if the Japanese were eliminated, he might not be able to get over the conscience.

After receiving Lu Mingxuan's order, the artillery immediately stopped shooting, and the town had become devastated and almost completely turned into ruins.

"Order the artillery to carry out saturated artillery bombardment in the front of the town and try to clean up the mines. In addition, the second and third battalions of tanks are ready to attack and make sure to let the enemy know how powerful we are." Lu Mingxuan said.
