    When Xuyi was attacked by the 133rd Division, the 134th Division and the 1st Heavy Artillery Division had also begun to launch a surprise attack on the Little Japanese Division in Chuzhou.  The Little Japanese Division stationed in Chuzhou is the 16th Division, the Kyoto Division.

    The experience of the 16th Division was almost the same as that of the 11th Division. The moment the heavy artillery division started shelling, the little Japanese were blinded.

    They never imagined that the Eighty-eighth Army would arrive in front of them in one night and launch a surprise attack on them.

    ??¡­

    It was already daybreak. The 133rd Division and the 134th Division had been fighting for more than three hours. The 132nd Division had also arrived in Chuzhou and joined the battle to attack the 16th Division.

    At this time, in the 133rd Division headquarters outside Xuyi City, Sun Xinpu was looking at the battle situation in the distance with a telescope.

    "Old senior, our troops have already reached the little Japanese's position outside the city! Do you think it is possible for us to break through the little Japanese's outer position today?"

    Sun Xinpu put down the telescope and asked.

    "I estimate that the Thirteenth Division of the Little Japanese will definitely launch a counterattack. Since the war started more than three hours ago, we have almost eaten up the Chongteng detachment of the Little Japanese. We have eaten more than one of their two infantry regiments.  , all the artillery of the mountain artillery regiment fell into our hands, but their artillery ran away."

    Liao Yaoxiang stood in front of the map. The current battle situation was very favorable to them and everything was going smoothly.

    The firepower of the Little Devils was much different from that of the Eighty-eighth Army. They were blindsided the moment the attack started.

    "I don't think so. The Japs will not be so unwise. I think they will rely on Xuyi City for defense. The Japs are arrogant, but they are not stupid. Now that our army has the advantage of heavy artillery, the Japs will not charge against the heavy artillery.  But then our battle will start to be difficult. If the little devil relies on Xuyi to fight us in street battles, I estimate that it will be difficult to chew off this bone in a day or two!"

    Sun Xinpu obviously had different opinions, but Sun Xinpu¡¯s words were recognized by Liao Yaoxiang.

    "What you said makes sense! If the Japs take the people in the city as hostages, our heavy artillery really won't be able to use it. And this is also a constraint for us."

    Liao Yaoxiang frowned when he said this.  There are a large number of Chinese people in Xuyi City.

    If they attack the city with heavy artillery, this may cause a large number of civilian casualties.

    "Report! Telegram from the Army Headquarters!"

    At this moment, a combat staff officer walked in and said loudly.

    "What order?"

    "The Group Army Headquarters stated: In order to cover the ground troops' attack and eliminate the enemy forces in Xuyi City as soon as possible, the Group Army Headquarters orders your troops to attack the city with heavy artillery, break through the enemy's defense line as soon as possible, and eliminate the enemy forces! However, the people in the city are all Chinese people.  Do not use heavy artillery after breaking through the defense line!"

    The division headquarters was silent, Sun Xinpu was silent, and Liao Yaoxiang was silent as well.

    After a while, Sun Xinpu said: "The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain! Now we must eliminate the enemy as soon as possible. Although there will be some casualties among the people, this is inevitable.

    If we slowly engage in street fighting with the enemy in the city, I am afraid that there will be more casualties among the people. I will immediately execute the order of the group army headquarters!  "

    Liao Yaoxiang's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability before he nodded and agreed to carry out the order of the Army Headquarters.

    At this time, outside Xuyi City, the 12th Regiment of the 11th Division was holding its position, and opposite them were the soldiers of the 133rd Division Regiment.

    At this time, the soldiers of the Eighty-eighth Army were eating breakfast, while some of the little devils were eating breakfast and some were reinforcing their positions.  They all know that even though the troops of the Eighty-eighth Army are not attacking now, it is because others are eating breakfast to replenish their strength.

    In fact, this is indeed the case. The soldiers of the 133rd Division were sitting in twos and threes eating breakfast.

    Breakfast should have been light, but these soldiers were now eating large bowls of rice and meat.

    The food problem of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army is better than that of other troops, but it is not much better.  Because before Zhou Weiguo paid attention to weapons, equipment and military supplies.

    Regarding the extraction of grains, some white rice and some other basic vegetables are extracted.  There is no other way to store weapons and ammunition, and there is no extra logistics to bring in more meat.

    But it can also ensure that soldiers can eat a meal of meat every one or two days.

    Like this morning, everyone is holding a military lunch boxThere was rice in the lunch box, with pieces of cooked meat on top.

    Yes, it¡¯s just cooked like this.  It¡¯s good to have meat now, but do you want to know how good it tastes?

    "Tuanzuo, according to the plan, we will start the attack in half an hour."

    At this time, in the headquarters of the 133rd Division's 1st Regiment, a staff officer was eating a meal from a lunch box and talking. Even the commander of the 1st Regiment, Wen Hanlin, was doing the same.

    Wen Hanlin was the former commander of the 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment. With the expansion of the army, he was promoted from the position of the 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment to the position of commander of the 1st Regiment of the 133rd Division. This time, his regiment was the main attacker in the attack on Xuyi.  .

    "How are the soldiers eating? Does every soldier below have meat to eat?"

    "Well! The Logistics Office has already sent it out."

    "That's good! In half an hour, the air force will take off to support us. Let the soldiers hurry up and finish their meal and start the attack!"

    Wen Hanlin put down the military lunch box in his hand, picked up the telescope and stood in front of the observation port, looking at the enemy's position

    Half an hour later, Wen Hanlin's troops were all ready.

    "Contact the divisional artillery regiment and heavy artillery division to provide us with artillery fire coverage and cover the enemy positions with artillery fire. Then get all the soldiers ready and rush to the enemy positions as soon as the artillery fire stops!"

    "yes!"

    The attack started again. When the heavy artillery shells hit the Jaap position one after another, they immediately began to hide in the trenches. Because the time was too short, they did not have time to dig anti-gun holes, so they could only hide in the trenches and wait.  The past of the shelling.

    After a burst of shelling, the Japs' position seemed to have been plowed. The position they had just reinforced was unable to block the heavy artillery shelling.

    "The Chinese are coming! Attack!"

    After the bombardment ended, the little devils knew that the Eighty-eighth Army would definitely attack. These little devils who had not been harmed immediately stood up in the trenches and prepared to defend.

    In fact, they thought well. When the shelling ended, the soldiers of the first group were only 400 meters away from them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
