At the headquarters of the Guandong Army.
"Nani? Three divisions were ambushed on the way to Shenyang City?”General Kenyoshi was shocked when he saw the telegram.
Moreover, he saw that the enemy was actually a pioneer formed by hundreds of tanks!
"Baka, where did this army come from? Weren't the enemy's tanks left in Jinzhou City?”
Unfortunately, no one could answer his question!
"Commander, how many fighter jets and bomber planes will we send to support these three divisions?”An advisor asked General Kenyoshi.
"How many fighter jets and bomber planes are there on the ground?”
"Previously, we sent out 100 fighter jets and 50 bomber planes, plus the ones we lost earlier. There were still 200 fighter jets and 250 bomber planes on standby.”
"Send out another 50 bomber planes and escort another 100 bomber planes to support these three divisions!”
"Ha Yi."
"By the way, have the fighter jets and bomber planes that were sent to bomb Shenyang City returned yet?”General Chida Kenyoshi asked with a frown. He should be back by now. Why wasn't there any report of the battle results?
"Uh, there's no news yet!"
Hearing this, General Chida Kenyoshi had a bad feeling.
First of all, he had received news yesterday that the enemy forces in Shenyang City had suddenly increased to three divisions, a total of 40,000 to 50,000 people!
Then, early this morning, the Special High Tech Department also sent a message saying that Li Hu still had a field airport outside the city and dozens of fighter jets!
Now that he thought about it, it made him pay more attention and fear to Li Hu!
How did the other party gather so many troops all of a sudden?
Moreover, the Te Gao Ke had yet to find out any useful information.
After so many years of sweeping through Manchuria, there were almost no large enemy forces here. But now, a force of tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared, and they were well-equipped. It was difficult to say that they did not take it seriously!
"I hope nothing unexpected happens this time.”General Kenyoshi believed in the combat power of three divisions and a Heavy Artillery Company.
……
"Baka! As expected, it's coming at you menacingly!"
Due to the sudden appearance of Li Hu's three armored divisions, the 1st division, 4th division, and 12th division did not have time to fight back!
Because the distance between the two sides was a few kilometers, how could the Japanese have the time to prepare?
It would take time to dig trenches, right?
You need to see them to set up an artillery position, right?
Especially the heavy artillery!
Especially those heavy cannons with a caliber of more than 240mm. Some of them would take hours to assemble!
Therefore, the Japanese did not have the time to set up heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 240mm. They could only set up 75mm mountain cannons, 105mm howitzers, and 150mm howitzers in a hurry and assemble them as quickly as possible!
"Hiss…so many tanks! Why are these tanks so much bigger than our own?”When the 1st Regiment Commander Fujiwara Kujo used his binoculars to look at the rows of tanks charging towards them, his eyes were filled with shock!
The T-34 tank weighed more than 30 tons. In the eyes of Westerners, it was only a medium-sized tank, but in the eyes of the Japanese, it was already a giant.
As a Class A division, they would have a squadron of tanks, usually 8 tanks and 6 armored vehicles.
Their tanks were usually less than ten tons, seven to eight tons.
A tank of this size was like a child's play when compared to a tank that weighed more than 30 tons!
"No wonder the 8th division was almost wiped out. It was difficult to resist against these tanks!”4th Regiment Commander Kato said with a heavy expression.
"Prepare for battle!" The 12th Regiment Commander Kazuo Sato said coldly. At this point, they would only know after fighting!
"Pull out all our anti-tank cannons and push all our tank squadrons to the front!”
"How are the preparations for our Heavy Artillery Brigade coming along?”
"Reporting, Major General. The 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade has responded. Heavy artillery with a caliber of 105mm and above can only be used after 20 minutes at the earliest!”A subordinate said to Kazuo Sato.
"Baka! Tell them to speed up!" Kazuo Sato clenched his fists in anger. The enemy had appeared too suddenly, so his 2nd Heavy Artillery Squadron was unable to set up these heavy artillery quickly!
"Ha Yi!"
……
At this moment, Li Hu's three armored divisions were about two kilometers away from the enemy.
Just now, when they were 3 km away from the enemy, the three armored divisions had already stopped the trucks and unloaded the cannons and shells. Meanwhile, they left the artillery to set up the artillery positions.
Now, all the tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, and motorcycles were still charging towards the enemy's position. They did not stop!
The armored division was particular about the mechanics, and basically, it was a mixed charge of tanks, infantry, and combat vehicles. The infantrymen were all in the combat vehicles. They would only get out of the vehicles when the terrain was favorable.
Of course, it was very common for tanks to charge in front of a large group of infantry in World War II.
However, Li Hu's mechanical level was higher, so all the soldiers did not need to run!
Finally, when they were 1.5 kilometers away from the enemy's position, all the trucks and motorcycles stopped. All the infantrymen got out of the vehicles, equipped their weapons, and followed the tanks and armored vehicles in front.
The speed of the tanks gradually slowed down, allowing the infantry behind them to keep up!
The charging formation of the tanks was slowly being formed!
In the distance, the Japanese saw the 400 tanks forming the vanguard.
The unique sound of the tank's powerful engine and the dusty scene made many Japanese feel shocked and terrified!
The earth was shaking!
The overwhelming scene made many people feel guilty!
"Mortars, blow up these damn Chinese people!”
Bang bang bang!
The Japanese's mortars started firing first.
Immediately after, the Japanese's 75mm field cannons and infantry cannons also opened fire.
This kind of small-caliber cannon did not take much time to set up. Although it was rushed, it could still be used!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
