Chapter 601 Bloody Battle ([-])
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and when the hour hand pointed to 10:30, the situation on the battlefield had undergone earth-shaking changes.The Japanese gunboats that had been easily cruising the nearby river were rushing madly towards the river closest to the battlefield. At the same time, the Japanese reconnaissance planes that were not originally responsible for reconnaissance missions in this area also flew in from afar.However, none of this seems to be able to change the fate of the Yamada detachment.

Today is a fine day, at least for now. Although there is thick smoke billowing on the ground and a flash of fire from time to time, the sky is full of sun and white clouds.

This weather is the day to win the battle!Ouyang Yun had already left the underground headquarters at this time, and was leading a group of headquarters personnel to stand on a relatively high ground, watching the battle through binoculars.

The chariot unit of the Yamada Detachment had already been routed, and nine out of ten of the burnt and scrapped tanks on the battlefield were painted with the sun flag.

"Empty..." About ten kilometers away from the battlefield, in the southwest of where Ouyang Yun and the others were standing, there was a rumbling sound of artillery fire, and then nearly a hundred shells were wrapped in fireballs visible to the naked eye, and quickly flew to the rear of the battlefield.

The artillery division commanded by Li Hanhun finally showed its power, and the target of their first round of strikes was the position of the heavy artillery wing of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army.

Nearly a hundred 150mm caliber heavy artillery roared at the same time, and the scene was really impressive.Relying on the advantages of technology, because the double diameter far exceeds the heavy artillery used by the Japanese army, the heavy artillery of the Xuebing Army has a range of at least five kilometers longer than that of the Japanese army.In this way, even if all these heavy artillery are towed, they can move their positions before the Japanese army retaliates. Of course, let alone whether the Japanese army still has the ability to retaliate.

Speaking of it, whether it is a Jiguang tank or a self-propelled artillery, it has been a while since it was successfully developed and equipped with troops. However, it is the first time that it really plays a role and plays a decisive role.Artillery is the king of infantry. As for tanks, they will dominate the battlefield for a long time to come.

The chariots and self-propelled artillery of the Xuebing Army have huge technical advantages, but it is the first time that they are used in such a combination to participate in a battle together.If Ouyang Yun was not confident about his technical advantages before, then after this battle, he will have no worries in this regard at all.

Yes, whether it is a Jiguang tank or a self-propelled artillery, they are all powerful enough, at least when facing the little devil's similar troops, they can have an absolute advantage.

Li Hanhun was undoubtedly an excellent commander, and Ouyang Yun thought to himself that he couldn't compare to him just in terms of grasping the fighter.

In just five rounds of rapid fire, the Japanese heavy artillery position was destroyed.Undoubtedly, the Japanese army only had a regiment of heavy artillery, while the number of heavy artillery of the Xuebing Army was more than twice that of the opponent.This is not to mention, because of the advanced communication system, Li Hanhun obtained detailed coordinates - these coordinate data have been measured before the war, so, after mastering the precise shooting elements, the gunner's strike The damage done to the Japanese army was considerable.

The sound of the rumbling cannon sounded, and Tada Hayao's face changed immediately.He was not far from the heavy artillery position. Within the range he could see with the naked eye, the position of the heavy artillery regiment, together with the heavy artillery lined up neatly above it and the artillerymen in operation, were becoming fragments and corpses with the flames of the explosion. "The heavy artillery unit just disappeared?" He gritted his teeth, and then cursed weakly, "Didn't the guys from the Aviation Corps say they didn't find that the Chinese had artillery? What's going on now?"

Hayao Tada wronged those Japanese aviation soldiers who took on the reconnaissance mission.In fact, in order to obtain the most accurate battlefield intelligence, these devil aviation soldiers lowered their flying altitude so low that they could almost shoot with rifles when performing reconnaissance missions. However, they seriously underestimated the strength of the student army. camouflage ability.

There are no so-called forests in the area of ​​Pukou. The places that can really hide large ordnance such as cannons are the sparse forests around some villages.The engineers of the Xuebing Army made full use of this "location" and successfully hid the heavy artillery and self-propelled artillery in it.

"General, the Chinese people are catching up. The rest of the Yamada detachment has launched a sniper attack. However, they will not last long. What should we do?" A senior officer walked up to Hayao Tada and asked.

The tanks of the Xuebing Army followed the retreating tanks of the Yamada Detachment aggressively, and the infantry of the Yamada Detachment, which had no solid fortifications at all, wanted to stop them, and it was almost an impossible task.According to Tada Hayao's judgment, the Yamada detachment will definitely collapse, and next, the Chinese will definitely seize this opportunity to squeeze the remnants of the Yamada detachment towards their own troops, and then take the opportunity to pursue and expand the results of the battle.In the same situation where there are no fortifications to defend, the headquarters will inevitably be forced to use the flesh and blood of soldiers to delay the advancement of the Chinese tank troops.

Now, the most sensible decision for me should be to choose to retreat. However, once I really retreat, the Pukou Raiders may never have a chance to be realized. In this way, the next series of plans of the dispatched army will undoubtedly be extremely serious. Bad influence.

Tada Jun was making some difficult choices. Suddenly, there was an obvious sound of shells tearing the air in front of him. The artillery fire that was still raging on the heavy artillery position just now covered the place where he was standing—the hateful Chinese, They even started shelling their own infantry positions.

"General! Dangerous!" The subordinates around him also heard something was wrong from the sound of the shells flying. Several of them shouted like this, rushed over, and pressed him firmly.

On the artillery position of the Xuebing Army, after Li Hanhun contacted Qian Guangming from the front line, he learned that the several rounds of rapid fire just now had destroyed the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army. On the 11th Division of the Japanese Army waiting for the army.This is what Li Hanhun said to Qian Guangming: "Old Qian! If you don't do anything, just take it with the 11th Division!"

Qian Guangming answered very simply: "I have no problem here, but Commander Li, you have to be careful of the little devil's revenge!"

Li Hanhun naturally understood what he was referring to, and said, "Don't worry, we won't be able to stay in Pukou after this appearance anyway. After clearing the road ahead for you, we will immediately transfer to Nanjing. I'd rather I'm worried about you, if the little devil's plane fails to catch us, he will throw all his anger on you."

Qian Guangming smiled: "It's okay, we're running fast. Commander Li, do you want to talk to the commander? If another infantry from the division comes up, it will be perfect."

Li Hanhun smiled: "Boy, don't have too much appetite. If you want to eat up the 11th Division, be careful not to overwhelm yourself. Just do your job well, the Commander, he knows what to do."

"Haha! We have only consumed half of the shells on average now, well, I will order a retreat when there is one third left."

Although it was the first time for Li Hanhun and Qian Guangming to cooperate, the cooperation was intimate.With heavy artillery opening the way ahead, this saved Qian Guangming's tank troops a lot of thought. At least, they didn't have to worry about those anti-aircraft artillery.The targets of these anti-aircraft guns are too big to be operated by one person.That's why the Japanese army over there pushed up a few cannons, Qian Guangming called out, and a dozen 150mm heavy howitzer shells fell down. After a mushroom cloud, they all let go.

The Xue Bingjun pointed to a high ground in front of the bunker. Ouyang Yun had a panoramic view of everything that happened on the battlefield through the binoculars. A smile was slowly forming at the corner of his mouth.Standing behind him, Liu Kui could only see his blood boiling. At this time, he suggested: "Commander, press another division and squeeze the little devil directly into the river! Hehe, if you allow me, I want to go up and have meat. .”

Ouyang Yun shook his head, looked at the sky, and said: "One more division? I'm not crazy yet. The little devil's plane has left for more than an hour, and will come back soon. I only hope that Qian Guangming can slow down Hurry up—”

The aviation of the Japanese army has always been a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Xuebing army.The reason why Ouyang Yun only invested two infantry regiments as the scavengers of the tank unit was because he was worried that once the little devils' aircraft swarms came, the investment of too many troops would make their bombing more efficient.As for the artillery, as Li Hanhun said, after this battle, they will definitely move to Nanjing, and the farther they will go, the better.Because after destroying the chariot wing of the Yamada detachment, the existence of heavy artillery is no longer so important.On the contrary, once the artillery division remains in Pukou, it will definitely cause crazy retaliation from the Japanese air force.Those artillery guns below 75 mm are fine, and those heavy artillery guns with a caliber above 105 mm are all treasures in Ouyang Yun's heart, and they cannot be destroyed by the little devil so easily.

Heavy artillery plus tanks, such a combination, its power is really extraordinary!Even though the Japanese army was extremely ferocious—the Japanese army organized at least a dozen waves of special attacks in the place that Ouyang Yun's telescope could observe.The ferocious faces of those devils who took off their helmets, wrapped white belts around their foreheads, and embraced explosive packs were almost clearly visible.Of course, because Qian Guangming controlled the speed of the tank's advancement very well, and the machine gunners on the tank were not stingy with bullets, and there were officers and soldiers from the 22nd and 40th regiments following to pick up the leaks, so those desperate Most of the devils who wanted to exchange the "jade fragments" for the student army tanks failed to detonate the explosives, and were directly torn to pieces by a loud noise because the explosives were hit.

And behind these death squads, there are probably more devils who are determined to die.It can be guessed from the huge series of explosions caused by the artillery shelling - more human bombs could not even stand up, and were directly hit by the artillery commanded by Li Hanhun, thus being crushed in the series of explosions.

On the position of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, after Hayao Tada was rescued from the gunfire by his subordinates to a safe place, he saw the continuous explosion not far in front of him, the flames all over the sky, the fireworks soaring into the sky, the old devil was ashen-faced, and unexpectedly He didn't say a word for 5 minutes.

In fact, he is issuing effective orders at this time, and its effectiveness is also unknown.

The artillery fire of the Chinese people is quite insidious. The first thing to cover is the rear of the 11th Division, and then it shrinks back one by one. They took turns combing through cannon fire.

And just as the artillery fire began to sweep towards the position of the Yamada detachment, bad news came one after another, which made Tada almost desperate: "Division commander! Commander so-and-so sacrificed his life!" "General, captain of such-and-such Death!"...

Finally, Hayao Tada howled: "Sadao Ushishima, that bastard, didn't he say that he had already destroyed all the artillery of the Chinese people? Those guys in the aviation unit, why didn't they find the artillery of the Chinese people? Pukou, the whole Pukou is such a big place!"

After howling for a while, Tada Hayao finally calmed down and realized that he needed the help of the fleet.Yes, although his original idea was to rely on the strength of his own headquarters to wipe out the entire army of apprentices here, but now, with the loss of the heavy artillery unit and the lack of long-range strike firepower, it seems that he can only Relying on the large-caliber naval guns on the gunboats cruising in the Yangtze River suppressed the artillery of the Xuebing Army.

Regardless of the Yamada Detachment or the 11th Division, the resistance of the Japanese army was very tenacious.Even when it was discovered that the artillery of the Xuebing Army began to bombard the infantry positions, the only 21 tanks left in the chariot wing of the Yamada Detachment launched a desperate counterattack. Under the command of the awakened Yamada Umeji, the 21 tanks The tanks stopped one after another, then turned around on the spot, stopped there directly, mobilized the turret, and even started to play the role of a fixed turret.

The tank that Qian Guangming was in had already rushed to the front of the entire tank unit. Qian Guangming was standing in the position of the machine gunner. Seeing the fierce reaction of the Japanese tanks, Master Qian twitched the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly: " If you want to die, you can't blame us!" Then, holding down the send button, he said calmly: "It's the end, the target, the remaining Japanese tanks! Fire!"

Umeji Yamada didn't know that the reason why the remaining Type 99 tanks on his side were able to survive so tenaciously under the attack of the Xuebing army tanks was because Qian Guangming wanted to keep them to open the way for himself.What he didn't even know was that shortly after their Tupo Zhang Cheng's interception, all the tanks on his side had been targeted.Ever since, the tanks on their side have not stopped, and there is no shadow of the Jiguang tank in the sights in front of the gunner. "Boom—boom..." After dozens of consecutive loud noises, almost all the Japanese tanks They were hit at the same time, most of them were hit directly on the turret, and then in the earth-shattering "rumbling" explosion, half of the tanks were turned into pieces.

After Yamada Umeji made the decision to fight to the death with the Chinese tank unit, he got out of the car without hesitation and took the position of the machine gunner.And his move also made Chen Shaobing, the commander of the 040 regiment of the Xuebing Army, who had been dissatisfied with following the tank to eat ashes.

When he just received the order to attack, Chen Shaobing was very excited—there was a battle to be fought.Of course, after running behind the tank for about two or three kilometers, he scolded those guys in the tank division in his heart: "TMD, everyone is a soldier, why are you sitting in the car?" The wind can’t blow, the sun can’t shine, and we have to be exposed to the wind and the sun and eat dirt along the way! Well, there are battles to be fought, but the machine gunners on the tanks are a bit dishonest! It’s not easy A few popped out, good! I just raised my gun, the sound of a machine gun sounded, and there was a violent explosion over there, and then, a group of devils fell down. TMD, since you have machine gunners yourself , what else do we need to do?"

Chen Shaobing was full of complaints when Yamada Meiji came to his door.In order to kill a few more devils, Chen Shaobing rushed forward, and just before Yamada Meiji's tank stopped, he was thinking whether to get a grenade and stuff it into that devil tank.He was worrying about how to catch up with the tank, but Yamada Meiji ordered the tank to stop and got out.This time, Chen Shaobing was overjoyed, he stopped with a grinning grin, with one stroke of the gun, one pull of the trigger, the bullets went out.Poor Umeji Yamada just got out of the car with the confidence that he would die. The POSS hadn't been set up yet, when a series of bullets hit his head and immediately tore his head and upper body to pieces.

And he was also fortunate to become the third Japanese officer of the brigade commander level who died at the hands of the Xuebing Army since the Battle of Nanjing.

With the help of the artillery division commanded by Li Hanhun, Qian Guangming crushed the Yamada detachment with ease.And as the last 21 Type 99 tanks were all destroyed, and the detachment leader Umeji Yamada was also killed by Chen Shaobing, the Yamada detachment, which had more than half of its casualties, immediately collapsed.

At this time, the gunboats of the Japanese army cruising on the Yangtze River finally gathered together and began to show their power, and a silver light flashed under the clouds in the east, which indicated that the Japanese fighter planes were approaching quickly.

After Qian Guangming destroyed the Yamada Detachment, he was about to lead the troops to move on, so as to give the 11th Division some color, when Ouyang Yun's retreat order arrived.

As the reconnaissance team of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade and Broadsword Regiment sent back the news that the Japanese gunboats were assembled, Ouyang Yun knew that it was time to accept it as soon as it was good. In the defense of Nanjing, the strength of the Xuebing Army will be greatly reduced. "Old Qian, retreat, pay attention to dispersion and concealment. By the way, let the 22nd and 40th regiments blow up those who have lost their mobility." Cannonball, Ouyang Yun couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "It's a pity, missiles are too high-tech, otherwise, bring more than a dozen shore-to-ship missiles, hehe, this time I can really teach the little devil a big lesson." .”
