    At 5:30 in the afternoon, after completing the siege of the east and west gates of Heze City, the Japanese army set up artillery and began to bombard the defenders' positions outside the city.

    Following the order of Major General Nagano, the entire Japanese army at the east gate of Heze was like a chicken blood, and all the artillery was displayed. The posture was not to kill people, but to scare people to death.

    Although the 110th Division is composed of left-behind personnel and reserves, it is still a second-class division. Therefore, in terms of firepower, it is by no means comparable to those of the three-unit garrison divisions.

    As far as the artillery wing of the 110th Division is concerned, even excluding small-caliber artillery such as cannons and infantry guns, there are more than thirty 75-mm-caliber mountain guns and field guns alone.

    ¡°Just imagine, the Chinese army, not to mention a division, even a group army does not have such strong artillery.

    Of course, except for Li Guoyao¡¯s troops, after all, they are cheating and cannot be treated with common sense!

    When dozens of cannons pointed their muzzles at the garrison positions outside Heze City, even the soldiers of the Northeast Army who had always regarded death as home could not help but tremble!

    These are large-caliber artillery pieces. Once a shell is fired, it will probably turn into a bloody mess.

    ??You guys have courage, but that doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re an idiot who isn¡¯t afraid of death. Normal people would be scared when faced with such a situation!

    But the Japanese army would not stop attacking because of their fear. When the little devils were ready, the bombardment started immediately!

    "Boom boom boom"

    After bursts of deafening dull sounds, a sound was heard piercing the air!

    I saw artillery shells flying out from the Japanese artillery positions and heading straight for the national defense positions at very fast speeds!

    On the national army position, the few soldiers who were originally there were frightened when they saw this scene!

    The company commander, who was still an experienced captain, shouted loudly: "The bombardment, the bombardment of the little devil has begun. Hurry up and enter the anti-bomb hole, pay attention to concealment!!!"

    With the roar of the company commander, the national army soldiers on the position reacted and rushed towards the anti-gun holes on the position!

    The fortifications outside Heze City were all built by Li Guoyao. It took a lot of effort at that time. The people of Heze City alone recruited more than 20,000 people at that time. Later, Wen Debiao invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build the fortifications here.  The purpose is to be able to support it for a while when the Japanese army attacks Heze.

    Take this line of position as an example. There are not only several kilometers of trenches here, but also a large number of half-covered bunkers. There are also an astonishing number of large and small anti-gun holes in the trenches. These are all designed to deal with the little Japanese.  For artillery.

    Even in front of the front-line position, Li Guoyao specially ordered people to build a large number of anti-tank trenches. Not to mention the thin-skinned iron bastards like the little devils, even the Soviet T34 tank that shocked the world a few years later could not even think of crossing it.  Such anti-tank trenches.

    All in all, although Heze City is not big, its defenses are top-notch!

    This time the Japanese artillery bombardment lasted for more than 20 minutes. Major General Nagano also knew that there might not be many defenders on the position at this time, but he wanted to use this method to defeat the defenders' defensive confidence.

    He just wants to let those hateful Japanese troops know what a powerful imperial army is in front of them. Their resistance is like a bug in front of the crazy tank of the Japanese Imperial Army. It is impossible to do anything.  Any effect.

    The most sensible thing for them to do is to get out of the trenches immediately and surrender like the Imperial Japanese Army, so as to save their lives.

    But what they didn¡¯t know was that in the face of solid fortifications, the effect of their shelling was very limited, and few were actually killed or injured. Therefore, Major General Nagano¡¯s intention of frightening the Chinese army was obviously unachievable.

    As soon as the shelling ended, the Japanese troops at the east gate began to send out infantry to attack, trying to seize the defensive position at the east gate of Heze.

    Since the effect of the shelling just now was very good in the eyes of the Japanese army, many Japanese commanders believed that this shelling could wipe out at least one-third of the Chinese defenders, and the fighting spirit of the remaining people would be greatly reduced.

    Therefore, when ordering the infantry to take action, Major General Nagano did not conduct the test as before, but directly chose to order Kameda Battalion, the strongest fighting force under his command, to be the main attack and directly seize the defender's position.

    Major General Nagano did this not out of recklessness, but because he felt that the national army itself was not strong in combat effectiveness and was severely hit by such powerful artillery fire. It had long been trembling and was completely vulnerable.

    ?????????????? Followed by the 10th Division on the Northern FrontWhen preparing to attack, he was worried that if his speed was slow, the people of the 10th Division would get the upper hand, so he simply did not let troops below the brigade level test it.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? could possible can be heard. Looking at the seven or eight hundred Japanese soldiers marching towards the front line in neat steps, a shrill whistle sounded in the defenders' trenches.

    Hearing the whistle, the soldiers in the bombholes knew that the Japs were coming, so they climbed out of the bombholes one after another and entered the fortifications to prepare for war!

    At the same time, light and heavy machine guns were set up, and bunkers of various sizes were also used. The war was about to break out!

    When the Japanese offensive troops entered the 150-meter firing range of the defenders, they heard a sudden "bang bang" sound from behind the defenders' position, and then saw several mortar shells falling from the sky and landing on the Japanese army.  In the infantry square.

    "Boom boom boom"

    Although the power of mortar shells is limited, the phalanx of the Japs was too dense, and a large number of Japs soldiers were killed and injured in an instant!

    But these Japanese soldiers were very tenacious. Even though they suffered heavy casualties from shelling, they still had no intention of retreating.

    After all, it seems to them that they have advanced to a distance of more than 100 meters in front of the defender's position. Perhaps they only need one charge to rush into the defender's position. At that time, the battle will become a battle for position, which is very difficult for them.  Advantageous, it can even be said to be half the win.

    However, what these little devils didn't know was that just as they were rushing towards the garrison position, in a field command post a few hundred meters away, a Chinese general wearing a general's uniform was staring with a telescope with a sneer on his face.  them.

    Seeing that these little devils looked like they were not afraid of death, Brigadier Wan felt very happy, which meant that these little devils were going to be severely beaten.

    This national army general who is commanding the front line is the Major General Wan Yi, commander of the 333rd Brigade of the 111th Division. This man's energy is legendary and could be written into an inspirational novel.

    Brigadier Wan was once the youngest regiment commander in the Northeast Army and a close confidant of Marshal Zhang, but he had a close relationship with the Eighth Route Army.

    In 1925, Brigadier Chunwan was admitted to the Northeast Army Military Training Team. The leader of the training team was Marshal Zhang, so he became the Marshal's confidant.  Later, he was admitted to the 9th session of the Northeast Army Lecture Hall and graduated with first place. He was rewarded by Marshal Zhang. After graduation, he has been following Marshal Zhang.

    "But since the Xi'an Incident, the young marshal was imprisoned and the Northeastern Army was divided and used. Cronies like Brigadier Wan were disliked by Chiang and could not be reused at all.

    Even so, Brigadier Wan and others still did not abandon their ideals, killed the enemy bravely, and became a brave general on the battlefield.

    This time the Japanese army attacked southwestern Shandong, and his 333rd Brigade bore the brunt. In just a few days, more than 5,000 people under his command were beaten down to less than 2,000, and they were all placed at the east gate by Commander Chang.

    Although the unit was severely damaged, Brigadier Wan was still confident and took command personally.

    Seeing the little Jaap and the general rushing up, Brigadier Wan immediately gave the order: "Hit me, hard!"

    With Brigadier Wan¡¯s order, the defenders¡¯ counterattack began!
