Double travel through the Republic of China, start with zero yuan to buy and fight against Japan

The 6th and 7th Divisions have not yet fought a single battle.

So the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and held their breath as they marched towards Huludao.

At the same time, the 1st Army Brigade that flew back had refilled its fuel and ammunition.

They continued to take off to support the 6th and 7th Divisions.

The same was true for the B52 formation. Although they returned a little late, they set off again after refueling and ammunition.

Their direction was Huludao, because they had to capture it first and then launch an attack on Jinzhou.

We must cut off the ability of maritime support so that the Japanese navy will not be able to take advantage of it here.

After all, naval guns are much more powerful than land cannons.

Therefore, the mission of the B-52 bomber formation was to launch a devastating attack on the Japanese warships in the Huludao waters.

Even if they wanted to come to support, they were too scared to come.

The remaining 30 B-10s were enough to deal with the Japanese on the ground.

After all, they still have the support of 200 P-series fighters, which is enough firepower to attack ground targets.

As time passed, the advance of the 6th and 7th Divisions was accelerating.

Two hours later, they finally arrived at the road that could lead to Huludao.

The terrain here is very complex, so the armored forces advance very slowly.

To prevent any accidents, the special forces have already been conducting reconnaissance ahead.

The air support would not arrive for another half an hour, and the combat commanders of the two divisions did not let their troops go too deep into such complex terrain.

And what they did was correct, because this was an important area arranged by Lieutenant General Ji Gu.

The special forces members were very good. They had discovered the problem, so they immediately issued a warning via radio.

"Report to the commander, we have found something unusual ahead. We haven't found a large force yet, but we are sure there is an ambush here."

"Evacuate quickly and wait for air support."

They quickly ordered their special forces to retreat.

Since there is an ambush, they should not force their way in. They just need to wait until the air support arrives and then start the attack here.

What they didn't expect was that the Japanese had already made arrangements.

Even if they don't enter an ambush, they have to start taking action.

After all, the terrain here gives them the advantage, and every combat supervisor will consider it if they want to enter here.

There is a high possibility of being ambushed in this kind of terrain, but this is the only way to go and the enemy has to take it.

Their intention to evacuate was discovered by Ji Gu, who decisively fired a flare.

As a red shell rose into the air, the bombardment began.

小鬼子第二重炮师团的24门155重炮和36门105mm重炮以及20门75山炮同时开火。

Fortunately, the commanders of the 6th and 7th Divisions did not allow their large forces to advance too deep, so the attack range they received was limited to a small area.

Even so, almost a regiment of troops was under heavy artillery bombardment.

"Order the artillery battalion to quickly counterattack. We must suppress the enemy's firepower."

The commanders of the 6th and 7th Divisions quickly gave orders, requiring the artillery battalion to counterattack quickly.

The entire army quickly retreated. It was only after 10 minutes that they were out of the range of the enemy's artillery fire and the bombarded troops were able to evacuate smoothly.

In an instant, the two sides started a fierce artillery battle.

The 24 155mm guns and 48 105mm guns of the th and th Divisions began to counterattack.

With the start of the counterattack, the armored battalion and tank battalion that were under shelling were able to evacuate smoothly.

The garrison suffered heavy losses this time because the bombardment was sudden and they had not taken any emergency defense measures.

The armored and tank battalions in the front suffered some casualties, especially the infantry following behind, which suffered even greater damage.

The artillery of both sides continued to fire. Since the Japanese artillery positions were set up on high ground, they had a very obvious advantage.

Ji Gu saw the other side being bombed through the telescope and said to the people below with a smile.

"Our shells can also kill people, don't you think?"

His happy look at this moment made everyone happy.

After such a long time, I finally got a chance to gain some advantage.

After half an hour, both sides stopped shelling because the gun barrels were too hot and there was no way to continue shelling.

The Japanese were quickly cooling down the artillery, trying to keep it firing.

The artillery battalions of the 6th and 7th divisions also began to clean the gun barrels, take cooling and cleaning measures only after they had quickly evacuated, to ensure that they could fire artillery shells at any time.

Only after the Chahar garrison retreated 20 miles did they begin to order a count of casualties and lost supplies and equipment.

The two regiments of the 1st Brigade of the 6th Division and the 7th Division suffered the most, as they were the infantry regiments closest to the tank battalion and armored battalion.

The armored battalion and tank battalion were the front line closest to the battlefield, so they suffered heavy losses.

By now air support had arrived and they had been informed of what had happened via the radio.

The front-line command also knew about it, but they did not blame the commanders.

This was a sudden encounter, or a premeditated ambush.

They predicted in advance the route they would take, or the direction of attack.

It seems that the Japanese Lieutenant General Kitani is no simple man and is a tough opponent.

Inside the front-line command center, everyone is trying to decide what to do next.

"It seems that we may have to engage in a large-scale battle with the enemy around Huludao. We must immediately send reinforcements from the 3rd, 4th and 5th divisions."

"Yes, the enemy may have ambushed at least 10 troops there, otherwise they would not have used heavy artillery so blatantly."

"They knew very well that if the heavy artillery was used, it would most likely be destroyed by our air force."

"Their air force has remained silent so far, with no aircraft taking off for combat, which is also what puzzles us."

"Maybe the other side is afraid and doesn't want to consume the remaining air force here."

"No matter what, support them immediately, and at the same time apply to the commander-in-chief to provide us with three more divisions."

"That's not a problem. There are 10 divisions near us. Although their equipment is different from ours, they are still very powerful."

"Well, then give the order."

These division commanders are all in the front-line command posts, but it is their deputies who command the front-line combat operations.

The staff officers in the command center also conduct remote control here.

Because of their advanced radio technology, they did not need so many senior generals to command operations on the front lines.

The entire North China region is already within the coverage of their radar and radio. This is the basis of Zhao Yun’s first step in information warfare.

Because information communication is the key to rapid response in combat.

"Commander of the 6th and 7th Divisions, this is the st Air Force Strike Group. Shall we bomb the little devils down there?"

"You can conduct a exploratory bombing, but don't fly too low. They may have prepared air defenses."

The commanders of the two divisions communicated and issued this order.

"Okay, let's see, let the little devils have a taste of the power of the bomb."

The P47 and P51 began to dive downward, their purpose was to strafing and expose the hidden positions of the Japanese.

After all, there were many dense forests on the mountain, which blocked their vision, so they could not determine the specific attack location.

With 200 planes launching an all-out carpet attack on the entire valley.

Many of the Japanese soldiers below were hit by bullets and they let out their final shrill screams.
