Chapter 20

() An aerial bomb of this level must be at least 200 pounds to cause such damage.Xiaogou Junyi felt that he was finished, and more than [-] Imperial planes at Shanghai Airport were finished.

More than a dozen screaming Reapers ju87s quickly destroyed the runway at the Shanghai airport, and the aviation guns on the airport did not cause any damage to the ju87s.Now it's the turn of bf109 to perform. These advanced fighter jets began to attack the planes parked at the airport and the anti-aircraft guns at the airport. They hit whatever they saw. The attack in less than 10 minutes set the entire Shanghai airport on fire. All the planes and oil depots were set on fire, and even the entire night sky was turned red.

This is not over yet, and then the Soviet horizontal bomber completely destroyed the entire airport. The Soviet horizontal bomber carried two tons of ammunition and bombed recklessly. The searchlights of the Japanese airport lost power because of the fire, and they were completely facing the sky. There was a beating.

The air strike destroyed more than 200 Japanese aircraft at the location, and completely destroyed a large Japanese military airport and two field airports. More than 300 aircraft parked in Taiwan survived. However, the Japanese army has no airport available in Shanghai. It is completely impossible to repair the airport under the situation of having full air supremacy. If the Japanese army starts to repair, the Chinese spies will immediately send a report to inform their own air force, and what is waiting will be another round of thorough bombing.

The success of this air strike was due to the fact that it was fighting on Chinese soil, and the Chinese navigators could find the exact location of the airport according to the contours of the terrain. Thirdly, the Chinese side was fully prepared, and fourthly, the Japanese army was arrogant and unprepared. Based on the previous reasons, the Japanese army was attacked smoothly. In the history of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese airport was also attacked. A fighter plane was destroyed on the ground, and it was still in the daytime. The Japanese anti-aircraft firepower is really not flattering.

At 1937 o'clock in the morning on December 12, 28, Rommel led the personally trained armored division, set off from Zhenjiang, and began to launch an armored assault on the Japanese army more than 8 kilometers away. Rommel was in the front with 20 No. 32 medium tanks, followed by There are 120 Panzer III tanks, followed by 96 armored vehicles, and behind them are the mighty 560 armored vehicles with four steel plates. The armored vehicles are either loaded with ammunition or loaded with soldiers. Pulling cannons of various calibers, the entire 58th Armored Division is like soldiers on the wheels of cars. None of the 11817 members of the division are on foot, and they are [-]% mechanized.

Behind Rommel are two standard German infantry divisions, each with 16860 soldiers, a total of more than 3 people. Under the guidance of several armored vehicles, more than 700 armored vehicles followed Rommel. They were wiped out by Rommel The scattered Japanese troops.

Behind them are the 36th, 87,88th, 7th and the teaching corps of the Central Army, more than [-] elite troops, thoroughly cleaning the battlefield, or the Japanese army in the besieged cities and strong fortifications, and behind them are various local miscellaneous troops. They are here to clean up the battlefield. The weapons of these troops are not good. It would be nice to have more small Japanese weapons!

In the air is Hartmann's aviation regiment, which is divided into three waves and continuously takes off to support. The ju87 "Screaming Reaper" will clear the main obstacle for the armored division's assault. This aircraft carries 500 kg of aerial bombs, which the Japanese army hurriedly built The fortifications were scum in front of him, a bomb could destroy a large area, and the Japanese army and the fortifications were instantly wiped out.

The armored division commanded by Rommel soon encountered the Japanese army. This was the tank regiment of the Japanese army, which was going to attack Zhenjiang. Now the Japanese army did not attack the timid Chinese army, but let the Chinese army charge back. This made the Japanese tank unit feel ashamed. Under the command of its commander Ampere Jinshan, the Japanese tank unit began to confront Rommel.

Rommel was sitting in the first tank at this time, which was a No. 89 tank. Rommel carefully observed the distance of the Japanese tanks through the rangefinder. The Chinese tanks were slightly more than the Japanese tanks. The Japanese tanks were all Type 97. Compared with the Type 37 tank, the total weight is only ten tons and fifteen tons, and the caliber of the artillery is almost the same on both sides. They use 57mm and [-]mm guns respectively, but their power is not as good as that of the German ones.

When the Japanese tanks were discovered, Rommel began to call for air support, and then ordered his own cannons to be fully deployed. This was trained a long time ago, and the preparations were completed within 3 minutes. After Rommel's cannons were deployed, Rommel and the Japanese tanks The distance was only 2000 meters, and at this time the Chinese air force roared in.

Thirty fighter jets, some of them strafed the Japanese infantry, some of them were looking for enemy artillery positions, and ten ju87 dive bombers began to dive towards the Japanese tanks. As long as the bombs were dropped within 30 meters of the Japanese tanks, the shock wave would be blown away by the Japanese tanks. The tank was overturned, and all the personnel inside were shocked to death. More than a dozen 500-kilogram aerial bombs turned more than 20 Japanese tanks into bonfires. The Japanese tank charge formation was completely disrupted. The Japanese were desperately driving forward, while Rommel's tanks were quietly waiting in front of the Japanese tanks to enter the shooting range of 1000 meters.

Suddenly, countless clouds of smoke rose around the Japanese tanks, and countless shells fell around the Japanese tanks. This is Rommel's artillery speaking. In the first round of salvo, only a few Japanese tanks were hit and caught fire, while the rest The tanks ran even more frantically.

Finally, more than 50 Japanese tanks rushed out of the range covered by the cannons. What they wanted was to rush into the Japanese tanks as soon as possible, and fight with the Japanese tanks to make the Japanese cannons and aircraft useless. There is nothing wrong with this tactic at this time, but in front of Rommel, they can only deliver food.

When the Japanese tanks entered the shooting range of 1000 meters, Rommel gave the order. Most of the tanks fired shells. The Japanese tanks that rushed out of the artillery range had no chance to fire, and were turned into flaming torches. At the same time, it is accompanied by a violent explosion, which is much more beautiful than fireworks.

"The artillery stopped firing, and the whole army assaulted."

Seeing that the Japanese army was in disarray, Rommel took the opportunity to launch an assault with the entire army. The remaining 60 Japanese tanks had no chance to escape even if they wanted to escape now. Rommel's No. Because of their high speed, the tanks surrounded them in two directions, but neither the artillery nor the air force of the Japanese army played a small role. The tank wing of the Japanese army had more than 100 tanks.Destruction is just a matter of time.

"Let go" Following Rommel's order, the gunner pulled down the firing device, and the [-]mm tank gun was about to hit a fleeing Japanese tank in front, exploding that tank at that time, "Boom" With a bang, the turret was lifted into the sky, and then smashed hard to the ground.

And another Japanese tank desperately fired an armor-piercing projectile at Rommel's mount, hitting the front of Rommel's No. [-] tank, and the "boom" shell was bounced off. It still scared Rommel into a cold sweat, and the Japanese tank was hit by another No. [-] tank and caught fire.

Ten minutes later, the Japanese tanks were completely surrounded, and the Japanese infantry wanted to come up to support the tanks, but they were blocked by Rommel's artillery, and there were even strafing shots from the planes in the air. The Japanese infantry couldn't get close to their tanks at all, they could only watch With the destruction of the tank wing.

None of the more than 100 tanks of the Japanese tank wing escaped, and they were all annihilated by Rommel. The largest tank battle in the counterattack stage of the Songhu Battle ended. With the full support of tanks, artillery and aircraft, the Chinese side wiped out more than 100 Japanese tank wing tanks, while the Chinese lost only five Panzer III tanks, two were destroyed, and three were wounded and withdrawn from the battle.

At this time, the 30 Japanese troops in Shanghai will not have any armored forces. Rommel did not stop and continued to attack the Japanese army. The field fortifications built by the Japanese army in a hurry did not even have anti-tank trenches. How could it be possible to block the attack of an entire armored division? Assault, the Japanese soldiers standing in front of Rommel were directly crushed. The Japanese soldiers of the death squads wanted to blow up the tanks with explosives. The machine guns on Rommel's 96 armored vehicles, and the infantry following the tanks, directly smashed the soldiers of the death squads. The Japanese army was beaten into a sieve.

Changzhou City was in front of it. Of course Rommel would not be foolish enough to use tanks to fight street battles with Little Japan. He bypassed Changzhou City directly and left it to the brother troops behind.

At this time, the troops in Wuxi and Jiangyin also desperately launched a counterattack, fighting along the trenches of the defense line. Zhang Jun had already considered it when the Xideng line was being built. Facing Jiangyin and Wuxi, there are straight traffic trenches without any obstacles. Now these counterattack squadrons have twice the strength of the Japanese army, and their forces are concentrated to attack one area, while the Japanese army uses 5 people in each city. To encircle, it is good to have hundreds of people on each line of defense. The art of war is cloud-fold, and the Japanese army is so arrogant that only half of the defenders start to encircle. I really don’t know how death is written. It is not unreasonable to say that the mourning soldiers will win.

The Xideng line in Wuxi and Jiangyin is gradually encircling. Now even Matsui Iwane in Danyang is extremely anxious. Earlier Matsui Iwane knew that the Communist Party had formed an armored army, but this army has only just begun to form and has never been on the battlefield. What now? Suddenly there is such a strong combat power?

If the 20 Japanese troops were surrounded and wiped out by the squadron, then Matsui Iwane would only end up with seppuku, "No, we must do our best to save our troops."

Matsui Iwane picked up the phone and directly knocked down Taipei Airport, and directly gave the order:

"Takenaka Ryuzo, I order you to immediately give full support to the army under Changzhou City. Now there is a Chinese armored division that poses a serious threat to the Imperial Japanese Army. I order you to destroy it at all costs."
