When the forward troops of the Japanese 14th Division launched an offensive operation,

Liu Feiyang also quickly ordered the artillery bombardment of the Katyusha artillery group in the city, and immediately carried out the land clearing bombing.

"Boohoo! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boohoo! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

.......

.......

For a time, the entire Japanese 3rd Regiment and 5th Regiment, located outside the city, were immediately covered by violent and indescribable artillery fire, and were completely submerged.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

For a moment, the whole earth was shaken by the earth and the mountains, and the deafening sound of artillery bombardment immediately covered up the shouts of all the Japanese officers and soldiers' attacks.

It was as if in the dark night, under the continuous illumination of flares, all the Japanese were mute, and all their voices were suddenly lost.

But moments like these where we lose our voice only last for a brief moment.

Then, from the outskirts of the city under Liu Feiyang's command, there were waves of panic, howls, screams for help, and the voices of those killed in action...

For a time, all kinds of sounds gathered in the periphery of the entire city, making the listeners' hair stand on end.

Covered by the dense and terrifying artillery fire from the Katyusha rocket launcher group, squad after squad of little Japanese troops were rapidly disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They were all blown up,

And listening to the extremely shocking sound of shelling and bombardment, which was like the earth shaking and the mountains were shaking, the expressions of the commander Kentaro Takemura and the commander Takeyoshi Yamamoto changed dramatically.

They were also shocked by the horrific, hell-like scene of indiscriminate bombing in front of them. They were dumbfounded and their whole bodies were trembling with fear.

Such terrifying artillery fire coverage was actually more dense and fierce than their heavy artillery troops.

The speed of artillery bombing is very fast, and there are also many rocket shells exploded, and the killing power is even more powerful.

"Bagaya! What kind of artillery group is this? How can it have such terrifying artillery bombardment!"

"What kind of artillery bombing did we encounter?"

The captain Kentaro Takemura, who was in a state of fear, also had his eyes wide open, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and said in panic.

"We... let's retreat quickly!"

"If we continue to be bombed by the other side like this, I'm afraid our entire army will be destroyed here!"

"These artillery fires are not covered by ordinary artillery fire. They are simply more violent and more lethal than the heavy artillery bombardments of the heavy artillery troops!"

"Let's withdraw quickly! Otherwise we won't have a chance!"

"Takemura-kun!~"

As for the commander Goyoshi Yamamoto, who was also covered in the terrifying fire beyond imagination from the Katyusha rocket launcher group and was so shocked that he was covered in cold sweat and shivering, he quickly suggested.

He could imagine that his whole army would be destroyed here, and even he himself would be blown up to death here.

Especially when he saw the bombardment of Liu Feiyang's Katyusha rocket launcher group, which seemed to have unlimited ammunition for continuous bombardment, he also spoke out in even more panic.

"But our attack has just begun, and we haven't fought for ten minutes yet. If we retreat like this, we will definitely be punished by the new division commander!"

"Yamamoto-kun!"

However, the co-captain Kentaro Takemura was very unwilling to respond to co-captain Goyoshi Yamamoto's panic proposal and said hesitantly.

"Then I'll evacuate first!"

"Because I firmly believe that if I don't take my troops and withdraw immediately, my troops and I will soon be covered by these ferocious and deadly artillery fires and all of them will be annihilated!"

"Even if they won't be completely wiped out, they will be severely damaged!"

"Because these artillery fire coverage are not ordinary mountain cannons and artillery bombardments at all, they are absolutely terrifying new artillery bombardments, and the shells fired by the shells are even better than the shells of heavy artillery.

, even more powerful!"

However, in response to commander Kentaro Takemura's refusal to evacuate immediately, commander Takeyoshi Yamamoto immediately retorted without thinking.

Then he was also prepared to ignore the reaction of commander Kentaro Takemura and immediately issue combat instructions to evacuate his Japanese troops.

"..."

Seeing this, commander Kentaro Takemura was speechless for a moment.

But at this moment, a batch of very fast Katyusha rockets suddenly dropped from the sky and bombed the location where he and commander Takeyoshi Yamamoto were.

"Boom! Boom, boom, boom..."

.......

In a brief moment, the two Japanese captains, who had just been able to speak alive, were blown away with unbelievable expressions of horror on their faces.

All the Japanese around them were blown up.

.......

.......

When Liu Feiyang's city still encountered a night attack by the Japs' vanguard troops at night, all the anti-Japanese forces in the nearby area

I was also shocked by such a big movement.

In fact, when the battles between Liu Feiyang's troops and the Japanese army began, they had already encountered many anti-Japanese forces, and they were all paying attention.

Among the forces that are paying the most attention here are all the senior officers of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

There are also Li Yunlong of the new regiment, Chu Yunfei's troops who have been relieved, and some of the anti-Japanese guerrilla teams who were driven out by Liu Feiyang's troops but have reunited.

There are also some intelligence personnel sent by Commander Yan, as well as intelligence personnel from the Military Command and the Central Command, who are paying close attention to such a large-scale combat operation by the Japanese army.

386th Brigade, 129th Division,

Brigadier Chen, Deputy Brigadier Chen Zaidao, Xu Shiyou, Chief of Staff Li Jukui, and Zhou Xihan and other senior officers were also in their combat command room, constantly watching the red marks on the combat map.

The latest trends of the Japanese army and the location of the troops,

There is also the need to constantly receive reports from frontline reconnaissance troops and intelligence personnel about the battle situation on the frontline.

And whether such a large-scale attack by the Japanese army will also involve their side.

Therefore, their focus was not simply on the side of the city where the Japanese troops were attacking Liu Feiyang's headquarters, but on the marching dynamics of all Japanese troops.

"It seems that the Japanese army dispatched such a large force this time, not to encircle and suppress us, but to completely attack and encircle the 359th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army commanded by Commander Liu Yang!"

"What on earth is going on?"

"How could his troops suddenly attract such a large Japanese army to encircle and suppress them?"

"The Japanese army dispatched more than five groups of troops this time. This is simply more than the Japanese troops in the Changsha battle that is currently breaking out!"

When all the officers gathered together, Brigadier Chen immediately expressed his doubts.

At the same time, he also looked at everyone with bright eyes, waiting for their responses.

"I think the Japanese army is definitely not doing this just to encircle and suppress the 359th Regiment of the Jinsui Army!"

"It is possible that they want to wipe out all the anti-Japanese forces in the area they occupy!"

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the Japanese army's fussy combat deployment. Although the 359th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army led by Liu Yang has a decent combat effectiveness, it also has a lot of weapons and equipment, ammunition, and food.

, but it’s not like it immediately attracted such attention from the Japanese army!”

"It is simply unbelievable to dispatch so many Japanese troops at once, just to encircle and suppress one regiment. At the very least, I cannot imagine what benefits the Japanese army would gain from doing this?"

"You must know that the Japanese troops have occupied so many places now. They must disperse their troops to defend. Moreover, the Battle of Changsha is still going on!"

"So the Japanese troops will not take such a big risk and gather all the Japanese troops from the enemy-occupied areas where they are located here to deal with a Shanxi-Sui Army unit with a slightly stronger combat effectiveness!"

After Brigadier Chen finished speaking, Chief of Staff Li Jukui also looked puzzled and continued to respond.

As for the expressions of the other officers, they were similar to the two of them.
