Chapter 654 Breakthrough (31)

Yoshizuru Ryosuke wants to gain the power of the former enemy commander, and he has no selfish intentions.However, he had already done this outside the Guanghua Gate, and it cost a lot of money but ended in vain.The 6th Division participated in it at that time, and lost about a brigade of troops. Gu Hisao already had a considerable prejudice against him.Now that I understand the behind-the-scenes content of Tsukada Makoto's call, I don't have a good idea about Yoshitake Ryosuke.Holding the telegram, he gritted his teeth and said, "This hillbilly from Sanchong County, you want revenge, cleanse your past shame, and save your future, so go do it yourself, why did you tie us up to die with you?! How many warriors of His Majesty the Emperor will have to be sacrificed for a chariot that can't even be dealt with by a mountain cannon. The Chinese people are not fools, they will stand still and wait for you to blow them up! Bage! No wonder they always lose battles!" said Tani Hisao As the scolding continued, Ryosuke Yoshizuki had already issued an "order" to ask the 6th Division to suspend the offensive and enter the defense instead.Let Hisao Tani prepare at least one death squad, saying that the tank division of the Xuebing Army will be completely buried with the blood of the warriors of the Empire of Japan, so that the Chinese people know what a real war is.

Yoshizuka Ryosuke had a good plan to organize three large-scale death squads and use human sea tactics to overwhelm the chariot troops of the Xuebing Army.

The Japanese changed their normal routine, giving up offense and putting on a defensive posture.Wu Keren and Fu Kaixing saw all this, and then looked at the fireworks rising from time to time in the distance, and the continuous sound of explosions. They immediately deduced that the Japanese were in big trouble. took the initiative.

"Army seat (division seat), the little devil suddenly stopped fighting, what should we do now? Do we want to counterattack?" From time to time, subordinates asked this question, and the sudden appearance of reinforcements lifted everyone's spirits.Even the officers and soldiers of the [-]rd Division swept away their previous decadent attitude and became aggressive and aggressive.Faced with the positive mentality of their subordinates, Wu Keren and Fu Kaixing showed a surprisingly consistent attitude this time: of course they must counterattack, but the time is not yet ripe, we will wait and see.

A counterattack is certain, this is an opportunity that the commander finally won for them, and only a counterattack can form a breakthrough.Only when they break through the encirclement can they regain control of their destiny.Now the Japanese formation is not chaotic, so it is not the best time to counterattack.Judging by the scale of the battle ahead, the quality and quantity of reinforcements are not bad, so this opportunity will definitely appear.

"Brothers, cheer up. Once the time permits, we will fight back and let the little devils know: our Northeast Army (Central Army) is not easy to bully."

The Jiguang tank, which is unique to the Xuebing Army, was used three times in the Battle of Nanjing. These three times were all commanded by Qian Guangming, and the results were more brilliant than the last. solid foundation.If Qian Guangming were to evaluate which of these three battles was the most enjoyable, he would definitely choose the "Battle of Wujiang" without any suspense.

The "Battle of Wujiang River" was not a tank battle in the true sense, because there were only about ten symbolic tanks in the enemy's camp, and seven of them were bean chariots that were so rubbish.What professionals can't forget after the war is that these dozen or so Japanese tanks were completely destroyed by artillery fire without even seeing the Jiguang tank.

When Ouyang Yun was a guest teacher at Renqiu Military Academy, he taught a few classes on tank tactics.Qian Guangming was not short of those lessons, and among the many things Ouyang Yun said, he was most impressed by the following sentence: When tanks are fighting infantry, especially the Japanese army, one thing is very important, that is, speed and strength ——Condensed into one fist, attacked quickly, broke through in one fell swoop, with the fastest speed and the fiercest artillery fire, tore through the Japanese defense line, destroyed the Japanese army's will to resist, and won the victory in one fell swoop!

At the end of the battle between Pukou and the Yamada detachment, Qian Guangming made full use of the speed of the tank to smash the Japanese infantry defense line in one fell swoop, thus laying the foundation for victory in the battle.If it weren't for the support of naval guns behind the Japanese army and the bombers called in later, not only the Yamada Detachment would be wiped out, but the 11th Division would also be doomed to suffer heavy losses.

It was that battle that enabled Qian Guangming to gain experience in the tactics of tank troops against infantry, and it was also that battle that allowed him to experience the thrill of being the commander-in-chief of tank troops.And today's battle will be a test of his front-end time comprehension ability.

After 3 minutes of rapid fire, Qian Guangming gave the order to charge at full speed without hesitation.

The attack route Ouyang Yun chose was a highland next to a small river. Soybeans or sweet potatoes were planted on the highland, while reeds and cattail grass grew on the riverside.There is a small road under the high and low road, and the rice fields are continuous down the road.The width of the plateau is about 30 meters, and four tanks can pass side by side at one time.Zhang Cheng's third battalion took the lead, Qian Guangming personally led the first battalion in the middle, and then the second and fourth battalions were mixed troops.Nearly a hundred tanks lined up, about a mile in length from front to back.This is also Qian Guangming's intention. The advantage of arranging this relatively loose formation is that it can not only provide sufficient combat space for carrying infantry when the attack is stagnant, but also every time a salvo is fired, the artillery fire can cover the surrounding area. About one square kilometer, so as to maximize the lethality of shell fragments.

After the Japanese army surrounded the [-]rd Division and the [-]th Division, they were not prepared for a long battle, and the positions they set up were relatively simple.These crude positions have basically lost their original functions after being invaded by war.As the front line progressed, these positions became useless, and the Japanese army would naturally not repair them.In this way, after a round of heavy artillery bombardment, the so-called position was completely wiped out, and the rapid advance of the tank troops could no longer be prevented.

The tank troops advanced rapidly, and they advanced to the front of the 10th Brigade of the 6th Division in about 36 minutes.The rapid fire of the previous 3 minutes caused great damage to the 36th Regiment, which was relatively behind the 45th Brigade. Zhang Cheng looked through the peephole and saw that the battlefield was in a mess, and almost no one could lie down near the bombing point. Because of the corpses of three little devils, some of them were missing arms and legs.He picked up the walkie-talkie and called Qian Guangming: "Mr. Commander, the covering bombardment just now has achieved the intended effect, and we can carry out the cleaning operation without stopping."

"Then another round of rapid fire, the target is 2000 meters ahead."

"Yes!" Zhang Cheng let go of the microphone button, first gave the driver a parking command, and was about to give the gunner a combat command, when Qian Guangming's voice suddenly came from the voice: "Listen up, commanders, cancel the shooting." Order, stay where you are for 5 minutes, the gunners will help us clear the passage ahead. Attention, we have already entered the Japanese army position, be on guard against suicide attacks by the Japanese army.”

Zhang Cheng shook his head and smiled wryly: "Interesting, those bastards from the artillery are here to steal credit from us."

The driver stopped the car neatly, unbuttoned his clothes, pulled up his skirts to fan the wind, and said, "It's too hot, damn it. The battalion commander, the commander said that we will install fans in the tanks in the future. Is this possible? ?”

Zhang Cheng ignored him, raised his head and said to the shooter above: "This time we launched an attack by surprise, the little devil probably hasn't prepared the 'human flesh explosive package' yet, but just in case, Xiao Liu, please pay close attention. .”

Zhang Cheng's tank is the "Jiguang LIII", equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun.As a shooter, Xiao Liu was looking around with the gun at the moment, "tat-tat-tat" - he suddenly pulled the trigger, firing a string of bullets, and said, "Battalion Commander, using an anti-aircraft machine gun to hit devils, I feel like killing chickens with a sledgehammer! !"

Gunshots sounded from time to time all around. There were three or eight large buildings, as well as vehicle-mounted machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.Suddenly, there was an empty cannon fire from behind the tank group, and a few seconds later, the hiss of the shells tearing through the air came. Xiao Liu said: "The gang of sons of the gunners fired so blatantly, they are not afraid of little devils." bombers to retaliate."

The speaker has no intention of hearing but the listener is interested, Zhang Cheng thought about it, and hurriedly reminded him: "Don't patronize and talk about other people, but also keep your eyes on the sky. If there is a plane taking off, please squeak in advance."

"Tat-tat-tat!" Xiao Liu pulled the trigger again, and after killing the two devils who rushed over, he said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've noticed it before. The planes of the little devils seem to have run out of bombs. It is flying southeast, it should be flying back."

He had just finished speaking when a series of explosions suddenly sounded in front of him. It was the artillery shells fired by the artillerymen starting to explode.

You Hongjun precisely controlled the time. As expected, this round of shelling lasted only 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, Qian Guangming immediately ordered the troops to advance at full speed, and told them that the commanders of the vehicles controlled the fighting rhythm by themselves.

The tank troops rushed forward, Xue Shi Division and [-] Division followed closely, and they were invincible wherever they passed.

Ouyang Yun stood on the off-road vehicle, observing the situation on the battlefield with a binoculars. Suddenly, his face became serious, and the next second, he picked up the walkie-talkie and called Qian Guangming after Kai died.

Qian Guangming was already a little far away from him, which somewhat affected the effect of the call. In the end, Li Hanhun notified him, and he and Ouyang Yun started talking.

Ouyang Yun's order to Qian Guangming was to stop advancing immediately, stand by and clean up.

This order was completely contrary to the original combat intention, causing Qian Guangming to have a lot of doubts, and asked, "Commander, what happened?"

At this moment, Li Hanhun had also noticed the abnormality, and was worried that their communication would be difficult. He said, "The Japanese troops in other directions have made changes. What do you guys want to do? Surround and kill you? You suspend the attack and wait for the commander to rearrange—it's strange." Now, the little devil is doing this, is it because he wants to have a fight with us?"
