Ushijima Mitsuru's eyes, which were gradually losing vitality, were full of surprise, and he did not close them until the body "thumped" and fell backward.

He never thought until he died, how could the other party do this?! He was a major general! A major general! As long as he was not killed on the spot and was caught alive, he must be given full respect and courtesy, and wait for the right opportunity to fight again.

Deported back home.

Although the humiliation of being captured has determined that he will never join the army from now on, and will even be ordered to commit suicide by caesarean section, he is always more dignified. How can he be like now, being inexplicably shot to death by an officer who has no idea of ​​his rank?

!

It’s frustrating!

Li Yuanlong put away his gun, glanced at the soldiers who were also puzzled, and shouted coldly: "Do you think what I did was too reckless? You are wrong! Not to mention that I am not in the mood to duel with him, even if I am captured and can go back alive, Zhu

What did the big boss say?! He said a quick victory, no prisoners! Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

A group of soldiers suddenly understood that this was such a take-no-prisoners approach! Does that mean that even if the lieutenant general's division commander was captured, he would still have to be killed?

The squad leader of this group of soldiers complained aggrievedly: "Captain, what about our first-class meritorious service?"

Li Yuanlong hummed and said: "It must be yours. Stop talking nonsense, leave a few people to clean up this pile of garbage and prepare to take photos for reporters. Keep that knife for me, and the rest of you, continue to fight!"

"Yes!" The soldiers simply responded and dispersed.

Li Yuanlong helplessly looked at the troops sweeping across the battlefield. Finding that there was not much room for him to use, he shook his head, sighed, got on the infantry fighting vehicle, and continued to follow up.

On the left battlefield, Wang Zhangtang led the Japanese tank regiment that had completed supplies and rest and crossed the Yongding River from Wanping City. He first dispersed the Japanese troops outside Fengtai, then went south along the railway, and reached Daxing at dawn, mixing the Japanese troops who had retreated here.

The remnants of the 1st Brigade were easily defeated. After the 9th Cavalry Division arrived to relieve the city defense, they turned around and charged into Nanyuan!

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese 36th Brigade, whose defense on the southern front had been completely collapsed, retreated across the board. The mixed 2nd Brigade, which was standing in Nanyuan, consisted of 5 brigades of infantry, 2 squadrons of cavalry and 1 squadron of Major General Seki Kameji.

The field artillery of the brigade deployed positions close to the Liangshui River on the Maju Bridge line to defend to the death, trying to form a corner with the 36th Brigade and resisting stubbornly.

However, when the war has reached this point, they have no final say on when to withdraw their troops! Even if they have successfully provoked the League of Nations to mediate, and Chiang Kai-shek's order to suspend attacks has been sent to the front lines, these tigers who have just been released from the cage have no choice but to

If you don’t listen, what should you do? What should you do?

At noon, the blazing sunshine once again fell on the burning earth. The Nanyuan, which had been a royal garden for hundreds of years, and the lush mountains and rivers, pines and cypresses, had been blown beyond recognition by artillery bombs, and the smoke and fire were everywhere.

.There was nothing intact around the airport that was completely destroyed by the saw-saw bombardment from both sides. Even the grass on the ground had its roots torn by the strong airflow caused by the explosion and was exposed, with new stubbles still emerging.

Lightly fragrant juice.

Several command vehicles from Wang Zhangtang's temporary regiment headquarters were parked in the woods not far away. A tank battalion and the regiment's direct air defense company and guard company formed a solid defense around them. On the attack route facing the east, the Zhouqiao Company

They are working hard to build roads and bridges and repair passages damaged by artillery fire. At the airport, there are also more than a dozen engineering vehicles working hard to level the runway and set up air defense radars.

Under the digital camouflage net, the propped-up tent cannot be detected from above. The double-layer strong bulletproof blocking net made of basalt fiber and nylon blend provides them with the final protection.

Wang Zhangtang glared at his two bloodshot eyes and shouted on the radio: "How long do you have to complete the unblocking operation?! Two hours? I'll give you 40 minutes! If you can't finish it, you can climb into the river yourself.

Sleepers! Let the tanks run over you!"

He ended the call without any reason. He unzipped his collar anxiously, took off his helmet and started fanning himself. However, there was a depressing hot air both inside and outside. After fanning for a few times, he couldn't stand it anymore. He turned around and grabbed the radio again.

Tong Artillery Battalion: "In place?...Okay! Start the artillery attack immediately after the deployment...how many? You can hit as many as you can within half an hour!"

The call was cut off with a "pop". Not long after, the artillery battalion deployed at the rear began to fire "boom boom boom". The 18 105mm self-propelled artillery almost kept throwing shells at the maximum rate of fire. After more than ten seconds, I heard

The position on the east side that had been silent for several hours once again erupted with dense explosions.

Looking at his restless behavior, Chief of Staff Zhao Guoxiang smiled and said: "If you give such an order, be sure not to let Boss Zhu know about it, otherwise he will kill you for such a waste of ammunition!"

We all know that Boss Zhu is rich, but after staying here for a long time, we also know that sometimes he is also very stingy! He will never be stingy with the shells he must shoot, but if he consumes them uncontrollably, it is equivalent to cutting off his body! Who does this?

If something like this happens, he will definitely take action.

Wang Zhangtang waved his hands nonchalantly: "We can't control that much! In emergency times, we have to use extraordinary measures, and we don't need bombardment. Are we allowed to risk being beaten to pieces by colliding with the Japs' heavy artillery? How much do artillery shells cost?

How much does a tank cost? He knows this account well."

Zhao Guoxiang shook his head and stopped talking. This was nonsense. Fortunately, the big boss was wealthy and could withstand it. If he were the 29th Army and supported such a tank regiment, Song Zheyuan would have screamed in pain.

But one thing Wang Zhangtang is right about is that their tanks are indeed much more expensive than artillery shells. The production cost alone is said to be 50,000 to 60,000 U.S. dollars, while one artillery shell only costs more than a dozen dollars.

This firing lasted for half an hour. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, stuck at the 40th minute, the engineering troops finally found the way forward. Without saying a word, Wang Zhangtang rushed out with the tank battalion following the two battalions in front.

Along the way to Nanyuan, a lot of large and small rivers and ponds were filled in. Giant trees that had grown for thousands of years were cut down to create a large open space, and the whole tree was filled in, which was just enough for the armored troops.

Passed without any worries.

It's just that if those old masters in Peiping saw this kind of waste, I don't know how angry they would be.

Wang Zhangtang didn't care. He only had one goal in mind, to win the battle! The rest of the pots and pans would be broken if they were smashed. China is so big, there is no shortage of those things.

The torrent of steel rolled forward. Half an hour later, the tank battalion led by Wang Zhangtang rushed out of Nanyuan. They faced a completely unstructured position that was bombarded by artillery, especially the forward position between Maju Bridge and Liangshui River.

The bombing was so complete that no trace of its original appearance could be seen. The remaining defense fortifications after the battle between the Japanese army and the enemy's 37th Division defenders were basically leveled, and the mixed 2nd Brigade was forced to shrink into the town.

"There are no ordinary people there anymore, they are all Japanese troops, don't waste time, blow them up!"

Wang Zhangtang issued cold orders to the three tank battalions. I don’t know how he made such an arbitrary judgment. Zhao Guoxiang originally wanted to persuade, but he opened his mouth but wisely closed it. At this time, he could not persuade.

.

The battle has entered its fourth day. Who knows whether or how many people there are in this strategically important town? In the chaos of the war, there are many people who have died in vain! Since the Japanese army is defending the danger, with their brutal nature,

Do you still expect them to keep the common people?

The 2nd and 3rd Tank Battalions carried out the order without hesitation and crossed the shallow river channel of the tributary. The smoke and dust billowed and they killed each other. Just when the last shell fell, dozens of tanks rushed to the small town and less than 500 tanks were killed.

At Mi Chu, shoot and fire at the Japanese soldiers who desperately crawled out of the bunker!

The 2nd Mixed Brigade of Guan Guiji basically encountered no obstacles during the attack in the first two days. The casualties were very small and the progress was smooth. However, when they were beaten back, there were thousands of casualties! In one shelling, another two hundred were killed.

No. 1, at this time, facing the overwhelming attack of 80 tanks from Wang Zhangtang's tank regiment, they were already exhausted and had no power to resist!

The field artillery brigade he carried was wiped out by the dive bombers that came to stir up trouble before they could even take up their posture. Eighty tanks rushed into the narrow streets unstoppably, firing unequivocally at every house, "bombing them."

The high-speed artillery shells easily tore apart the weak buildings. As they approached, the entire town of Majuqiao continued to collapse. Countless Japanese soldiers were buried alive inside. The few who escaped were immediately killed by machine guns.

Sieve it!

By 3:30 in the afternoon, Guan Guizhi led more than a thousand defeated soldiers across the Liangshui River and merged into the 36th Brigade. Wang Zhangtang followed with more than a hundred tanks and rushed over. The Maju Bridge in the rear had already

Can't find a complete house!

Only when Guan Guiji arrived at the place did he find out that the major general commander of the 36th Brigade was missing, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead! Compared to what he seemed to be an extremely brutal and violent attack, the blow they encountered was simply terrifying! A brigade

It was just a regiment, but it actually took tens of thousands of artillery shells! It was actually very lucky to have only 3,000 people left!

"What kind of enemy did we encounter! How can we actually fight like this! Could it be that the entire Chinese artillery force is concentrated here? Do they want to use up all their military expenses and ammunition in one battle?!"

After Guan Guizhi consulted the headquarters and the division headquarters, he temporarily took over the command of the two brigades. He hurriedly redeployed the five thousand remaining troops to the defense line, and retreated directly to Tongxian! The previous positions were only

Shuangqiao and Zhangjiawan are retained, but not many troops are actually placed there!

After replenishing ammunition for an hour and taking a short rest, Wang Zhangtang led the tank regiment to turn around and head north. First relying on the train artillery, the heavy artillery unit directly under the 29th Army blasted the Japanese and puppet troops at Baliqiao to 708, and quickly advanced straight to seize it.

Wait for the men from the 37th Division to take over.

Then they broke camp and headed north. At 8 o'clock at night, the entire regiment maneuvered to Shahe at high speed. In front of them was the headquarters of the 6th Division! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes,
