The new division's direct artillery was the first artillery unit.
It was equipped with a total of 54 105mm howitzers and 12 155mm howitzers.
The Second Artillery Corps was divided into independent heavy artillery battalions.
A total of 12 240mm Super Heavy Howitzers.
The 3rd Artillery Unit was a self-propelled artillery unit directly under the Mechanized 2nd Division.
It was equipped with 18 105mm Priest self-propelled howitzers, 18 155mm Long-legged Tom self-propelled howitzers, and 18 T92240mm self-propelled howitzers.
The 4th Artillery Division had two K5 modified 310mm train cannons and a self-propelled rocket artillery battalion.
After the bazooka demonstration, the artillery units began firing in unison.
A total of 134 large-caliber and super-caliber heavy cannons fired in unison. This was unprecedented in the entire modern history of China.
The Japanese were fortunate enough to be the first to experience it.
Thousands of cannons were fired at the artillery positions. The flames from the muzzles melted the thick snow around the muzzles.
The 39th Brigade and the 40th Mixed Brigade were shocked.
More than a hundred cannonballs blotted out the sky and covered the earth as they came crashing down on them.
Immediately, the two exploration teams were bombarded.
Explosions and death seemed to have become the theme of this world.
Under the huge explosion, countless mud flew into the sky, accompanied by the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.
The 24 240mm caliber super heavy howitzer shells were especially powerful.
No one could survive within a grain of rice.
The two K5310mm train cannons were not to be outdone.
As the two 310mm artillery shells fell, it seemed as if they were going to blow up the ground.
The soil was sent flying hundreds of meters into the air, leaving two huge craters on the ground.
"Shelling, dodging the bombardment. Spread out!"
At this moment, the Japanese army could only pray that the shells would not land on them.
The officers shouted themselves hoarse as they organized their troops to avoid the bombardment.
However, under this dense bombardment, even the elite Japanese veterans were a little panicked and ran around.
Their offensive formation had been completely disrupted.
The situation of the 40th Brigade was slightly better, but the 39th Mixed Brigade was really miserable.
After last night's battle and today's bombardment.
The 39th Brigade, which had nearly 10,000 people, only had about 5,000 people left.
After being bombarded by the rocket launchers, they had already begun to retreat in a hurry.
Even if they had to face the bombardment, they could not stop them from retreating.
It was obvious that they had been scared out of their wits by the Katyusha rockets.
This was also because they weren't used to it. Once they got used to Katyusha's baptism, they wouldn't panic anymore. Instead, they would become numb.
The bombardment lasted for about ten minutes.
The second wave of 400 rockets landed on the battlefield.
However, the target of the Bullet Rain was the 40th Brigade.
The previous explosion scene reappeared.
However, the casualties were not as high as before.
The 40th Brigade had completely dispersed, but it still caused hundreds of casualties.
"Retreat! All troops retreat to Jinzhou!"
Even though Shichiro was unwilling to admit it, he had indeed lost this battle.
Under such a high-intensity bombardment, they simply could not organize an effective offensive.
The most important thing now was to retreat to Jin City and defend it while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
However, Zhang Xueming had spent so much effort and used so many soldiers and weapons to set up such a trap. How could he let him escape so easily?
"Second division, attack!"
The commander of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division, Yu Chen, gave the order.
The 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division was like a tiger out of its cage, sweeping towards the Japanese army.
Huang Huanran was not to be outdone.
"Order the division's tank battalion to attack and cooperate with the second division to complete the division of the Japanese army.”
Dozens of M3 Stuart and M4 Sherman tanks from the tank battalion of the new division roared as they joined the attack.
A total of over 160 M4 Shermen, over 40 M3 Stuart, and 400 armored vehicles of various models formed a steel torrent.
This was also the first time in the world that such a large-scale armored force was deployed.
A medium-sized Sherman tank sped up and rushed to the high ground of the Tashan camp.
Then, he easily crossed the battlefield.
From here, they could already see the two Japanese exploration teams that were still being bombed a few kilometers away.
"Go, go, go!"
"Kill the devils, brothers."
"Little Japanese, your grandpa is here!"
"Squash them, I want to crush them!"
Suddenly, the radio channel was filled with wails and howls.
After leaving the Tashan camp, the steel flood split into two and headed toward the two exploration teams.
When the generals of the 20th Division who were preparing to retreat saw this scene, they were shocked speechless.
Tanks and armored vehicles jumped out of the camp and entered their sight.
Like a flowing steel wall, it moved towards them.
At this moment, they truly understood what it meant to be powerless.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?"
Shichida Ichiro looked at the countless steel chariots in a daze.
He couldn't figure out where these tanks and armored vehicles came from. There were so many of them.
At this moment, he regretted taking the initiative to attack.
If they were in Jinzhou, they might be able to use the terrain to block this flood of steel.
But what could he do now?
"Forward, forward, forward!"
He continued to move forward.
This was the belief of the armored soldiers.
Any enemy that stood in their way would be crushed under the tracks.
After the armored group approached the two Japanese exploration teams.
The artillery group began to extend their bombardment and aimed at the Japanese troops in the rear.
Other than the two exploration teams, the 20th division also had a cavalry regiment.
As for the division headquarters, they had yet to discover anything.
As soon as the bombardment ended, the two Japanese exploration teams were mercilessly attacked by the armored group.
Tank cannons, machine guns, and machine guns fired in unison. The dense shells and bullets harvested the lives of the Japanese.
Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles crashed into the Japanese army.
It was like hitting a rock with an egg.
Of course, the egg was referring to the Japanese army.
The leading tank group easily tore a path through the Japanese army.
As the tiger entered the flock of sheep, the tank began to charge forward wantonly, as if it had entered a no-man's land.
The Japanese army had no means of stopping them except for suicide attacks.
