Chapter 256: Attacking the County Town, Frontal Engagement
The meeting was still going on, and Ji Gu waited anxiously. An hour later, a telegram finally arrived.
"Huludao and Jinzhou must not be lost. Chaoyang, the gateway, must be defended. The support troops are on the way. They will support you from Huludao."
Ji Gu felt a little relieved.
He thought, maybe the number of supporters wouldn't be too large.
At the same time, the B-52 formation flew back over the battlefield again.
Although the plane could not be seen directly, the huge engine noise still alerted the Japanese air defense forces.
"General, the situation is urgent. We must quickly get down to the underground base! The enemy may come back to attack us."
His chief of staff said nervously.
General Ji Gu frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
"Okay, then go down and hide for a while."
They hurriedly got into the underground base, and just as they stood firm, a shrill and piercing air raid alarm sounded, which made people terrified.
At this moment, most of the civilians in the city were gone.
Because of the war, most of the Xinlong people fled the city, leaving only the diehard traitors and greedy landlords.
After a difficult search, the B-52 formation finally noticed something unusual in a valley.
The infrared detection equipment sent out a strong warning signal, as if some important target was hidden there.
They flew high in the sky and discovered a shocking scene through the lens of a high-definition camera - cannons, tanks and other heavy weapons appeared before their eyes.
"Record this location immediately!"
The leader of the formation made prompt decision.
"At the same time, continue to observe and find out how many troops are deployed here."
It didn't take long for them to find out what was going on in the valley.
There were crowds of people here, and it was obviously the location of the mysterious hidden division.
"Immediately notify the forward command post and the air force command post that the target has been successfully locked!"
"Okay, got it! Let's return immediately, load up our ammunition, and give those guys a world-shattering 'scattering of flowers'!"
Everyone was very excited as there was finally a mission to perform.
"We are too big a target. Even if they can't see us, they can hear us. So I hope the special forces can rush over and monitor this place."
They left quickly after saying that.
However, just as they flew away, the two division commanders and the commander of the heavy artillery division quickly sent a telegram to Ji Gu.
"We are very likely to have been exposed. An enemy plane just flew overhead, but we were unable to identify the specific model because it was flying too high."
After reading the telegram, Ji Gu was shocked.
He acted decisively and immediately issued orders, ordering them to retreat quickly to a second hiding place.
This decision was his final plan after careful consideration - if Chaoyang County fell into the hands of the enemy, he would launch a final battle with the Chahar garrison here.
Unexpectedly, the plan would be put into action so quickly. It was obvious that the opponent's mysterious fighter jets had already been dispatched.
At this moment, Ji Gu knew that he would face an unprecedented fierce battle...
The three divisions evacuated urgently, and the special forces also advanced in this direction.
They received information from the front command that the enemy was most likely in a valley near Chaoyang County. After the coordinates were given to them, they were asked to go and check the situation quickly.
Time seems to be something that everyone cares about. One is running desperately, and the other is trying hard to catch up.
The next morning had just arrived and the sky was bright. The forward command received Zhao Yun's order to continue the attack.
Those three divisions escaped yesterday. We still need to investigate where they went.
He couldn't use the B-52 anymore because it was too loud and the enemy would run away when they heard it.
He needs a high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, but he doesn’t have one yet. It’s really depressing.
He no longer hesitated. This was how war was. It was normal that the enemy could not be found, but that did not mean that he could not stop attacking.
As Zhao Yun gave his instructions, the front command began to issue orders to attack.
As the order was issued, fierce attacks were launched on Chaoyang County from three directions at the same time.
The Japanese defenders at the three city gates were very depressed as it was their turn to be bombed again.
After half an hour of fire attack, the tank and armored vehicle battalion began to advance, and the infantry behind them hid behind the tanks and continued to fire at the fortifications near the city gate.
With the coordinated operations of infantry and tanks, the fortifications of the Xiaori defenders were continuously destroyed.
"Hurry up, inform the wing commander, we can't hold on any longer."
An hour after the Chahar garrison's attack, the captain of the Xiaorizi gate guard quickly reported to his superiors.
"No matter what the situation is, you must hold on. I will send people to support you immediately."
This was also because the three city gates were in danger at the same time, which made the two captains of the defending army immediately agree to send people to support.
They were all from Jigu, so they could only defend themselves and could not retreat.
"My goodness, the Japanese fortifications are so strong, it's been an hour since the bombing was completed."
"Yeah, it's really a headache. Go ahead and bomb them. We have enough shells anyway."
The two battalion commanders of the 3rd Division's armored and tank battalions were chatting on the radio.
"Don't just watch the show. We artillerymen are the ones who are suffering. We are firing so many shells that our hands are almost broken from exhaustion."
"Haha, then you guys take a break and let our tank battalion come."
"Well, you guys go ahead, your shells can blow up the fortifications."
No one spoke. There was nothing they could do about it. It would take 105mm and 155mm of firepower to take down the fortifications.
Suddenly, a wall in Chaoyang County collapsed, finally unable to withstand the intensive artillery bombardment.
"Attention, a section of the wall has collapsed. Increase the bombardment there to enlarge the cave-in so that tanks and armored vehicles can enter."
The commanders of the armored and tank battalions hurriedly communicated with the commander of the artillery battalion.
"Okay, in another half an hour, I will make sure that place collapses even more."
The two of them immediately notified their own men and the infantry regiment following behind them to prepare to engage in street fighting in the city.
Sure enough, half an hour later, a large gap appeared in the city wall, ten meters wide, enough for tanks and armored convoys to enter at the same time.
"Attack and quickly enter the county town."
"The artillery battalion should stop shelling near the gap and can bombard other areas."
After hearing the two people's words on the radio, the artillery could finally take a break.
The steel torrent was set in motion, with eighty M4 tanks and a mixed formation of 20 M48 and M60 tanks leading the way, and two hundred armored vehicles following on both sides to protect the emperor.
The three brigades of infantry began to follow towards the gap.
The Third Division began to enter the city through the gap, while the Fourth and Fifth Divisions simultaneously intensified their attacks on the other two gates.
They also wanted to speed up their chances of getting into the city.
At the same time, tanks and armored vehicles that entered the city began to continue to exchange fire with the Japanese troops deployed inside the gate.
The fortifications here are no worse than those outside. Obviously, the M4 tank cannot attack these fortifications, but the 60mm firepower of the M122 can break these fortifications.
So the M60 was quickly moved to the front, and the infantry following the tanks began to attack the fortifications and the Japanese in front using rocket launchers.
After repeated attacks, the Japanese battalion that had just been sent to provide support soon could not hold on any longer.
