Chapter 526 526 Reveal your identity
"Why haven't the liaison officers sent out come back yet? Where's the communications corps? Where's the communications corps? 1st Regiment, what's going on over there with the 1st Regiment? Who knows? Who knows what's going on over there?" In the hidden headquarters, a member of the Qi Army The division commander angrily questioned his subordinates.
But his men were almost as disoriented as he was: they had no idea what was happening, and the entire unit had not yet regained control.
At the beginning, there was a screaming plane that kept circling and attacking above their heads, and every time it rushed down, it would drop a huge bomb.
With no way to stop it, his division lost almost all its heavy artillery, and its position was riddled with holes.
What makes people even more desperate is that after these weird planes finally left, his position was flooded by the artillery fire of the Tang army.
It’s really submerged! The opponent assembled almost 500 artillery pieces and bombarded his position specifically. The shells fell as if they were free, directly destroying his position.
In order to allow his troops to continue fighting, as the division commander, he sent all the officers and signal troops he could find to convey orders and repair the trenches and hold on to the spot.
As a result, few of the personnel he sent out have come back to report the news. Even when they come back, they are still couriers or signal soldiers on the second and third line positions.
The news they brought back was just a joke. Some people said that the front line positions had been broken through by the enemy. Some people said that they saw an unprecedented tank raging on the battlefield, and some said that the enemy troops had already broken through. The second line of defensive positions was breached.
He didn’t believe any of this news. Because he didn't think the enemy could break through the two lines of defense so quickly, it meant that his defense had completely failed.
So he immediately sent out the signal troops again, hoping to collect really useful information. But this time, none of his signal soldiers came back, and all of them disappeared into the sea.
“Boom!” Not far away, another explosion occurred. This time, the rising black smoke could be clearly seen without a telescope.
The division commander frowned, moved to the window, and looked at the direction of the explosion: "Isn't that the No. 10 main bunker of the third-line position? What's going on?"
“I don’t know. From the looks of it, he wasn’t directly hit by artillery fire, was he?” The adjutant came over and said solemnly.
"Is the enemy's artillery fire so accurate?" As soon as he mentioned this, the commander of the Qi State felt a severe pain in his balls.
His artillery position was blown beyond recognition by Stuka dive bombers. It has not recovered yet and cannot participate in the battle at all.
So, when the Tang Army launched a ground attack, there was only sporadic artillery support in his defensive position. Most of the explosions were from Tang Army's shelling, which made him very annoyed.
What made him even more annoyed was that the nearest supply station connected to the railway track was bombed, and the munitions inside that were not transferred to him in time were also destroyed by the explosion.
This resulted in him being unable to obtain almost all subsequent supplies on time. For him as a division commander, this is definitely bad news.
Communications were paralyzed, and supplies were out of supply. The enemy happened to launch an attack at this time, and the situation was extremely disrupted.
Now all he can rely on is that His Highness the Third Prince can react quickly and immediately send support troops to help.
"Let our reserves press forward! Regardless of whether they have broken through the first-line defense, they will reinforce the second-line defense position! No matter what, the main second-line defense position cannot be lost!" The Qi Army division commander gritted his teeth and decided not to know anything. In this case, press on your own reserve team.
He had no other choice. The situation had reached such a state of chaos that if anything went wrong in the position, he, as the division commander, would be doomed.
Just a few minutes before the Qi division commander gave the order, Liu Guozhu's No. 4 tank had already given way to its position directly in front of the No. 10 main bunker, the main position of the Qi army's third line of defense.
A 105mm self-propelled howitzer modified from the No. 2 tank chassis slowly drove to the designated position under the cover of the infantry.
In the open square turret, the artillery loaders pushed a shell into the breech and closed the breech.
Just now, the 75mm caliber artillery of the No. 4 tank did not pry open the solid cement bunker. The machine gun position is still firing at the Tang army.
The bullet hit the armor of Liu Guozhu's No. 4 tank and splashed a cloud of sparks. Because there were so many bullets hitting him, it was hard to tell what color the paint on the front of Liu Guozhu's tank was.
However, Liu Guozhu still ordered his gunners to fire continuously, firing grenades one after another towards the perforations of the machine gun bunkers in the distance.
This kind of strong suppression indeed reduced the casualties on the Tang Army's side. At the same time, the 105 self-propelled howitzer over there has also been loaded and has been given the opportunity to fire.
“Fire!” The gunner covered his ears and loudly gave the order to attack. The artilleryman pulled the firing device of the artillery, and the entire gun body suddenly sat back, and a shell was fired directly at the machine gun bunker in the distance. This powerful and heavy shell directly hit the arrogant machine gun bunker, directly blowing the cement bunker into pieces.
A puff of black smoke rose into the sky. Division Commander Qi Guo saw a black smoke column in his headquarters, which was the explosion here.
After the bunker was destroyed and fell into silence, the Tang Army troops once again launched a charge. Countless soldiers shouted loudly and rushed to the high ground in the distance. The Qi Army soldiers abandoned their helmets and armor, collapsed along the way, and raised their hands to surrender. There are countless people.
One No. 4 tank after another was active on the position, covering the Tang army soldiers as they destroyed the city and the village. The Qi army had lost two lines of defense, and the last border line of defense was already crumbling.
Disposed between the third line of defense and the second line of defense is the main heavy artillery position of the Qi army. There are also large and small ammunition depots, small barracks, and field hospitals distributed in between.
In short, on the first day of the Tang Army's attack, all these facilities were lost. Whether the Qi Army's last line of defense can hold on has little impact.
In a trench, the shivering soldiers of the Qi Army had no idea what was going on. Signal soldiers and officers were hurriedly running past them from time to time. Everyone was confused and didn't know what to do.
Some people poked their heads out and could see black smoke rising from the main position not far away, and some could see Tang Army chariots running over the barbed wire fence.
But the commanders still didn't believe it. Their two frontal defense lines were all broken through by the Tang army in one morning.
The officer on the side was still grabbing the collar of the signal soldier and loudly asking what happened. Over there, the Tang army had already jumped into the trench and started shooting.
These charging Tang troops were armed with Thompson submachine guns and were like tigers in the trenches. They moved forward along the trenches and knocked down the dizzy Qi troops one by one.
"Tang Army! Tang Army is coming!" A Qi Army soldier just exclaimed, and a grenade exploded in the crowd.
The dust kicked up covered the sky and the sun. For a moment, the Qi soldiers in the trench staggered around. Their ears were filled with buzzing and their eyes could not see anything.
Touching his chest, a Qi Army soldier found that his palms were full of blood. Before he could shout, a Tang Army soldier with a submachine gun rushed past him.
"Thud, thud, thud!" Before the dust and fog from the explosion dissipated, continuous gunshots began to echo in the trenches. Some people were shot and screamed, and some loudly begged for mercy, but these voices were not enough for the Qi soldier who fell in the corner. I can't even hear clearly.
In the division headquarters command post, the Qi Army division commander who had just sent someone to see what happened on main position No. 10, before he could get the exact news, gunshots rang out outside his headquarters.
"What's going on?" the division commander asked his subordinates angrily. While he was questioning, a Qi Army officer rushed into the headquarters and pointed outside and shouted loudly: "Tang Army! Tang Army is coming. "
"Nonsense..." The division commander also wanted to scold his men to keep them calm. But before he could finish his first sentence, a bullet flew in from outside.
The bullet hit the wall, then bounced off at a weird angle and hit a kerosene lamp hanging on the beam.
“Dang!” There was a crisp sound, and the bullet shattered the kerosene lamp, making everyone shrink their necks in fear.
Just when these people were about to touch the weapons on their waists, a Tang Army soldier carrying a submachine gun rushed into the room.
He shouted loudly and pointed the black muzzle at the senior generals of Qi in the room: "Don't move! Put your hands up!"
These division commanders and officers, who originally thought they were in the rear and far away from danger, looked at each other for a while and didn't even know what to do quickly.
“Tu tu tu tu!” The young Tang Army soldier, who was also a little nervous, pulled the trigger at this time and fired more than a dozen bullets.
For a time, people in the room were on their backs. Some people knocked down tables and chairs, some people ran away with their heads in their hands, and some people subconsciously raised their hands.
“Raise your hands for me!” I don’t know how, but I’ve been upgraded to a large number of officers in the Qi State Division’s Tang Army soldiers, and I shouted again.
This time, all the Qi officers who had been mentally prepared were very cooperative and raised their hands in unison without any hesitation.
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I'm the division commander!" Commander Qi Guo, who raised his hands for fear that the young man would kill him, quickly added, clarifying his identity.
