Nanguan County is a steel plate. Even if the 10th Division pays the price of 5000 casualties, perhaps it may not be able to win Nanguan County.
Satoshi Shinozuka saw that Rensuke Isotani agreed with what he said, and he went on to say: "Your Excellency, the use of gas bombs can not only easily and effectively conquer Nanguan County, but also greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers in our 10th Division."
"Yo Xi, Shinozuka-kun is right. As the head of the division, I have to consider the casualties of my subordinates. Since I have secret weapons, why should I let the soldiers of the empire bleed for nothing?" Rensuke Isotani finally made up his mind and agreed to use gas bombs.
In fact, Isoya Rensuke, an old devil, also agreed with the use of gas bombs at the beginning, but he had some concerns.
After listening to Xiaozuka Daichi's rigorous analysis, his worries were completely dispelled.
Despicable, shameless, and omnipotent, has always been the consistent style of Isoya Rensuke.
Since the 10th Division has already done such a cruel act before, what's the point of being despicable and shameless again?
After Isoya Rensuke made up his mind, he immediately issued a combat order.
"Order, the Artillery Wing will attack with gas bombs, the 39th Infantry Wing will be the main attacker, and the 40th Infantry Wing will assist and support!"
"Ha Yi, General!!!"
The devil officers in the headquarters all stood up, nodding their heads heavily.
The devil officer who received the combat order quickly left the headquarters to prepare for the battle.
The Devil's Fengyang Town Airport was destroyed by the flight squadron of the security regiment, and the Devil's 10th Division could only mobilize bomber support from other airports in the distance.
Soon, the Devil's Flying Brigade received the combat order, and the Devil's bomber group was equipped with a large number of poison gas bombs, and immediately sailed to Nanguan County.
The Devil's 10th Division is worthy of being an elite unit. Their troops assembled very quickly, and the combat troops of thousands of people were all assembled in a short time.
The devil officers deployed an attack plan, and the devils in each combat squadron were allotted ammunition, as well as a certain number of gas bombs and gas masks.
More than a dozen chariots advanced towards Nanguan County, and the devil infantry charged behind the chariots.
The devils attacked the troops, and when they advanced to less than ten kilometers from the forward position of Nanguan County, the heavy artillery troops stopped advancing.
The Devils heavy artillery unit looked for favorable terrain nearby, established field artillery fortifications, and built various fortifications to avoid bombs.
The Devil Artillery Wing has two 75mm field artillery brigades and one 105mm howitzer brigade.
The devil's attacking force pushed forward to the bottom of the mountain 5 kilometers away from Nanguan County.
The low terrain of the mountain depression is more suitable for concealment, and the situation on the side of the mountain depression can't be seen at all from Nanguan County.
Thousands of devils are waiting in full force, watching outside Nanguan County.
Two 75mm field artillery battalions have established artillery positions near the col, and the artillery are aiming at the forward positions of Nanguan County.
The devil artillerymen were busy back and forth, quickly operating to adjust the firing angle of the artillery, and carrying the ammunition with the warhead hands.
"Artillery preparation, five kilometers in front of the target, the forward position of the security regiment, attack!!!"
"Tom tom tom!"
tom tom tom!
The muffled sound of gunfire echoed continuously around the col.
The devil's two field artillery battalions launched shelling, and dozens of artillery shells were fired at the same time.
The dense shells flew out of the depression at an elevation angle, and the momentum was like overwhelming mountains. The dense shells left trails of smoke and flames in the sky.
The shells flew extremely fast, and a few seconds later, dozens of shells slammed into the forward positions of the security regiment.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Shells exploded everywhere at the forefront of the security regiment, scorched earth covered with shrapnel splashed everywhere.
The artillery shells fired by the Devil Artillery were not used to bomb the soldiers of the security regiment at all, but were mainly used to clear obstacles and landmines on the forward positions of the security regiment.
Waves of shells rained from far away, and the ground shook suddenly. The ground that was already devastated had hundreds of shell craters.
The forward position of the security regiment was bombarded by enemy shells in a carpet pattern. Every corner of the ground was plowed by the shells.
Such a large-scale offensive bombing by the Little Devil Artillery has indeed cleared a lot of landmines on the ground.
However, the soldiers of the security regiment planted too many landmines, and the depth of the landmines was different. No matter how intense the artillery fire was, it was impossible to clear all the mines.
Li Hong's battles were always simple and rough. He not only let the soldiers of the security regiment plant landmines only in the forward positions, but also all the defensive positions outside the city.
It is no exaggeration to say that outside Nanguan County is a huge minefield.
Regardless of whether the little devil is advancing with a chariot or attacking with infantry, as long as the enemy dares to come, he will step into hell.
With so many landmines laid out, it is easy to trample on them randomly and cause accidental injury. Therefore, Li Hong thought of a solution in advance.
He ordered the soldiers to dig several more long trenches, which were connected to each other as safe passages.
This narrow and long safety trench can lead to the gate of Nanguan County.
It is fine for the officers and soldiers of the security regiment to stay in the trenches to fight. As long as the soldiers do not run to the position, they will not cause accidental injury.
The devil's artillery bombarded for more than ten minutes. Suddenly, the roar of the plane's engine came from a distance.
Li Hong stood on the top of the city to observe the situation in the forward position. When he heard the sound of an enemy plane approaching, he turned around hastily and held up his binoculars to observe the enemy plane flying in the distance.
The enemy planes were flying in the air in a formation, densely packed, like a swarm of locusts, and the fleet flew towards Nanguan County rapidly.
The devils dispatched a bomber fleet, as well as a fighter fleet, and there were dozens of planes in total.
After observing the number of enemy planes, Li Hong immediately put down the binoculars and loudly ordered everyone to pay attention to air defense and concealment.
"Enemy planes are coming, the air defense unit is ready to strike, and the rest are hiding, quickly hide!!!"
The officers and soldiers of the security regiment inside and outside the city quickly moved to hide under the air defense fortifications.
Chapter 389 Taking Precautions (Part [-])
In this battle, the security regiment mainly focused on defensive operations, and they built solid fortifications in advance.
Even if the devils have a large number of bombers attacking, they can resist the enemy's bombing.
"Buzzing—"
Dozens of Japanese aircraft roared in, and within a short while, the fleet flew over Nanguan County.
The devil's plane kept flying at an altitude of about 1500 meters because it was afraid of the anti-aircraft firepower of the security regiment.
In the high sky, there was a pilot who was a major devil who was very cautious. From time to time, he held up his binoculars to look down and observe the situation on the ground.
