"I'm going to take the first step." After Wu Keren said this, he stood up, straightened his clothes, asked for a glory bomb and pinned it to his waistband, counted the bullets on his body, and then took several people from the division headquarters with him. The staff officers and guards walked forward,

He was about to take a step when suddenly there was a "whooshing" sound from the southeast that seemed like a strong wind. He looked up and saw that the sky in the southeast suddenly flashed with an obscure light like lightning. The next moment About four or five kilometers away from him, a fire mixed with thick smoke rose up, and then a "rumbling" explosion sounded. He immediately stopped, his heart beating unsatisfactorily, and said: "Could it be that Ouyang Yun really led his army to help, but where did he get so many artillery pieces?"

A staff officer stared dumbfoundedly at the Japanese position being completely covered by mushroom clouds. After a while, he woke up and exclaimed: "Military seat, it's our reinforcements, it's our reinforcements."

"Yes, they are our reinforcements. Commander Ouyang is here to save us." Wu Keren said, without noticing that tears had already filled his eyes.

"Brothers, we are saved." "It's reinforcements." "Our artillery, our cannons, Commander Ouyang must have brought people to save us."...

On the garrison position beside Da'annan Village, there were first the officers and soldiers of the 117th Division, and then the officers and soldiers of the 103rd Division. Everyone shouted excitedly, and their once suppressed emotions were completely released. The scene was like The people who were about to die of thirst across the desert suddenly saw a clear lake. The guns in their hands seemed to feel the excitement of their owners, and they breathed out flames to their heart's content, and they easily defeated the Japanese army's aggressive attack. down,

If Qian Guangming's tank unit's three-minute rapid fire was a beacon in the darkness for the officers and soldiers of the 117th Division and the 103rd Division, then it was a navigation light in the darkness for the 6th Division blocking them. Yes, it was a sudden strong earthquake,

If Qian Guangming wants to lead nearly a hundred tanks to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army, he must have someone to help him clear out the Japanese patrol teams and outposts scattered behind the large army. The special forces led by Xiao Yi's sword regiment prioritize the tasks that need to be completed. This is the point. The Broadsword Regiment is worthy of being the most elite unit of the Xubing Army. Although it performs extremely dangerous tasks, due to its strong combat effectiveness and excellent personal abilities, it has only lost 19 people so far. Eleven people were seriously injured. A total of four squadrons of the Dadao Regiment dispatched with the army this time were divided into two battalion-level formations. The one currently following Xiao Yi, the new commander, is the first battalion commanded by Xiao Changwu. There are nearly a hundred people in a squadron and a half. Among them, Xiao Yi personally selected 60 Japanese soldiers who had certain Japanese skills and pretended to be Japanese soldiers. They directly bypassed the main force's offensive route and penetrated diagonally into the depth of the Japanese army; Under the leadership of the tank troops, they ran in front of the attacking troops to clear out small groups of Japanese troops that might expose their traces for the tank troops.

As a time traveler, Ouyang Yun's luck has always been against the will of heaven. I don't know if it is related to this. It is obvious that Japanese planes appear in the field of vision of the soldiers from time to time, but the strange thing is that those Japanese pilots failed to advance in advance. After discovering the movements of the garrison, Qian Guangming gave the order and nearly a hundred tanks opened fire at the same time. At this time, those Japanese fighter planes did not have many bombs left. Among them, the heavy bombs that could deal with heavy armor such as the Jiguang type were even more powerful. It's all consumed,

Three minutes of rapid fire, each tank fires at least five rounds, including the "Jiguang LIII" heavy tank with a gun diameter of 105 mm. This tank was developed at the Dingzhou base of the Xuebing Research and Development Institute and is specially used to deal with It is expected that the power of solid targets such as heavily armored tanks, armored trains and even city gates can be seen. Since the stabilizing agent of the new armor-piercing projectiles has not been successfully developed, they are equipped with ordinary artillery shells, which may not be able to deal with heavily armored targets. , but it is perfect for attacking infantry.

Hundreds of artillery shells were poured onto the Japanese position at the same time, immediately completely tearing apart the hastily constructed defense line of the Japanese army.

Hisao Tani was personally directing the battle on the front line at this time. When the gunfire sounded, he was pedaling on an ammunition box with his left foot, holding a telescope in both hands and observing the defense line of the 117th Division, which was only a short distance away. In the telescope, there was a mess. The garrison position made the old Japanese feel that victory was so close to him. He was grinning and sneering, secretly thinking that the battle could be resolved in half an hour at most. Suddenly, the earth-shattering explosions that rang out made him almost jump in shock. Get up, "What's going on? Where are the fireworks?" He turned around and asked subconsciously, and then saw that a place about a thousand meters away from him was completely shrouded in fireworks. He couldn't help but shudder, and dropped the telescope and grabbed it by his side. The collar of a staff officer shouted: "Hurry up and call Major General Ushijima and ask what's going on." He pushed the staff officer away with both hands, and he turned around with a sullen face, facing the 9th Division and others. The 18th Division looked in the direction of the attack and saw that everything on both sides was normal, and their expressions became even uglier.

If the Chinese rescue force came, why did they choose to break through from their own side? From the analysis of the size of the artillery, this Chinese reinforcement force was extremely large. If I wanted to stop them, I would definitely have to pay a high price. ,, Hisao Tani, who has not suffered much losses and has always been proud of it, is extremely depressed,

Major General Ushijima's full name was Ushijima Mitsuru, and he was the brigade commander of the 36th Brigade under the 8th Division. The 36th Brigade was responsible for the first round of offensive missions. After fighting hard for several hours, after losing nearly two men and horses, Hisao Tani arranged for him to go down to rest, and the place where the artillery fire was raging was the gathering place of the 36th Brigade.

The staff officer quickly came to report and gave Ushijima Mitsuru's original words. Ushijima Mitsuru was also confused and didn't know which army was attacked. However, because of the distance problem, he saw The size of the attacking force was estimated to be no less than two divisions, and what was fired just now was not conventional artillery, but a group of tanks.

"Tank cluster." Hearing this term, Hisao Tani's eyes couldn't help but jump. After the Battle of Nanjing, he was very clear about the meaning of this term. He stood up straight and his eyes widened. He looked toward the assembly area of ​​the 36th Brigade. It was a bit far away, and there were trees and fields in the middle. He didn't see the tank cluster that Ushijima was talking about. However, from the dense gunfire, he immediately judged that : Ushijima Mitsuru did not lie about military information.

"Is it Ouyang Yun's direct army? The Xuebing Army, the Xuebing Army came over, but isn't the main force of the Xuebing Army in Wuhu and Dangtu? There are only two divisions in Jiangpu, and they didn't go to Chu County, the intelligence did not mention that they still have tanks of this size..." Hisao Tani thought to himself, with all kinds of information intertwined in his mind, making it difficult for him to choose, and he felt a little confused for a moment.

"Your Excellency," the Japs around him saw that he was suddenly distracted, and someone immediately reminded them cautiously,

He suddenly woke up, waved his fist, strode towards a temporary telephone point not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Yukawa, go to Captain Sakai Brigade immediately and tell him that in twenty minutes, I will We want to see our army’s battle flag planted in the village opposite.”

"Hai."

There was still some distance from the temporary phone point, so he shouted loudly to the communications soldier next to him: "Get me the Commander of the Ushijima Brigade." Soon, he copied the phone in his hand, and what came out of the phone was exactly It was Ushijima Mitsuru's voice: "I saw the Chinese war flag, it's the tank division of the Xuebing Army..."

"Tank division."

"yes."

Hisao Tani's face turned completely gloomy. A tank division, and a tank division composed of heavy armored tanks. In this plain area, when the headquarters did not have professional strike weapons, and the distance was so close, they just wanted to use it. There was no time to organize and prepare special attack tactics. Once the speed was increased, it would no longer be able to be contained. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He roared: "Ushijima-kun, no matter what method you use, you must persist." Stay here for an hour, and after one hour, I will allow you to withdraw from the battle."

Ushijima didn't dare to disobey, so he subconsciously shouted: "Hai."

Hisao Tani held the phone, thought about it, and asked for the 9th Division and the 18th Division. When Yoshihashi Ryosuke learned the news, his first reaction was silence. Hisao Tani finished introducing the situation and explained his deployment. After that, he continued to be silent for two minutes before speaking: "The tanks of the Xuebing Army have fierce firepower and thick armor. They cannot be destroyed by non-heavy artillery and heavy bombs. The timing of the aviation attack is not well grasped. It will take at least one to fly to the battlefield again." Even so, we still have to destroy this tank force. Only in this way can we take the initiative and then carry out the next combat action. Ouyang Yun is the enemy of the empire. This is a rare opportunity to annihilate him. We must not Let go, once he returns to Guangdong, it will be a fish into the sea, which will greatly affect the China strategy of the base camp. Gu Shoujun, now is not the time to sympathize with your subordinates. Please organize a death squad. The Chinese people in the encirclement can be let go for the time being. .”

Yoshizhu Ryosuke suffered heavy losses from the Xuebing Army and was very afraid of Ouyang Yun. However, the more he was like this, the more eager he was to complete his victory in one battle and kill Ouyang Yun on the Nanjing battlefield. Hisao Tani actually wanted to do it after hearing what he said. I wanted to let go of the enemies in the encirclement first, but I was a little hesitant. The final answer was to discuss it with Ushijima Sadao before making a decision.

Ushijima Sadao once suffered a huge loss from the Tsugumi tank. When he heard that a tank division had come in, followed by the main force of no less than 20,000 cadet troops, he immediately agreed with Hisao Tani's suggestion and believed that the current countermeasures should be quick. Destroy the encircled enemy, then retreat temporarily, and wait for the aviation force to deal with the tank division of the Xuebing Army before making other plans.

Hisao Tani received the support of Ushijima Sadao, and was about to follow the previous idea, but received a telegram from Tsukada, asking him to follow Yoshihashi Ryosuke's idea, and Ouyang Yun and Xuebing must be included in the plan. The main force of the army was completely wiped out in Wujiang River.
