"Boom" "Boom" The two Japanese tanks that appeared in Tangcheng's sight spit out two clouds of white smoke, and then a large cloud of smoke and fire rose up on the city gate, "On board, on board, on board "The three loud shouts issued by the Japanese army were deafening as the tanks entered the battle. As the continuous explosions came, the bombs fired by the Japanese army began to fall on the position, the earth began to tremble, and the air began to be filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. The entire battalion of the 173rd Division downhill was shrouded in smoke.
Nanjing? Guanghuamen? Looking at the two Japanese tanks from a distance, Tangcheng seemed to have returned to the time when the Japanese tanks were blown up outside Guanghuamen, and to the moment when they were surrounded by artillery fire and did not know whether they would live or die at the next moment. The soldiers of the Chinese 173rd Division roared with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and fought back with a buzzing sound in their ears. They returned to the trenches where they had fought a day ago. They wanted to take the positions they occupied. The Japanese soldiers drove out.
"Boom! Boom..." There was another series of violent explosions, and flames rolled up from the smoke, burning a dozen shouting soldiers of the 173rd Division into burning people. "Get down, get down, roll on the ground." The experienced veterans took the lead in taking action, using their military uniforms to beat the flames on the burning man. The friendship between the robes, the instinct of survival, and the experience gained in the flames of war were revealed at this time. These veterans who took off their military uniforms had ignored the flames flying in the air. They were hit by shrapnel, and all they could see were the robes that were on fire.
"Boom" the veterans and firemen who were busy putting out the fire fell in the smoke, and the smoke-filled battlefield began to be filled with the smell of meat. Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows where the smell comes from. "Kill" those who are still alive. The soldiers of the 173rd Division were already crazy. They did not care about the bayonets and whirling shrapnel in the hands of the Japanese soldiers. Even though their skin was burned by the scorching air, they continued to charge according to the order...
The machine guns placed on both wings by Battalion Commander Yang fully exerted their effect. While their coats were engulfed by Japanese artillery fire, the machine guns on both wings caused great damage to the Japanese troops on the position. The rapidly changing battle situation made Tangcheng who was watching the battle on the slope very nervous. Nervous, Liu Yangyang is now making two-pronged preparations. If the 173rd Division wins, he will return to the county with the remaining garrison regiments. However, if the 173th Division loses to the Japanese army, Liu Yangyang will immediately lead these people to the In Beishan, only Tangcheng really hoped that the troops of the 173rd Division could repel the Japanese army.
Looking at Tangcheng on the slope with a telescope, what he could see was that the battlefield was dotted with corpses of soldiers from both sides. This miserable scene of dead and injured people lying everywhere was only a desperate charge in the past. And now half of these corpses are khaki figures. Good fight! Tang Cheng was excited in his heart. It is the fate of a soldier to die on the battlefield, but he must die well and be able to kill the Japanese troops with the same number of casualties as himself. This shows that the troops transferred out of the city by Zhou Yuan have good combat effectiveness.
Tang Cheng roughly estimated the number of Japanese corpses he saw, and there were at least more than 150 Japanese corpses under his eyes. Oh my God, from the time Battalion Commander Yang commanded his troops to rush down the slope to now, it has only been a short time. In just ten minutes, the number of Japanese soldiers they killed actually exceeded 150, which was the establishment of two Japanese squads. Tang Cheng couldn't wait to tell Liu Yangyang about his discovery, but when he turned around, what he saw was It was Liu Yangyang's worried eyes. There was not only worry in his eyes, but Tang Cheng even saw regret and sadness.
"Mengcheng can't hold it anymore." Liu Yangyang glanced at Tang Cheng looking at him from the corner of his eye. Liu Yangyang gave Tang Cheng an extremely shocking answer. "The Japanese army that fought with us for two days was not their main battle force at all. I looked at it with dismay.
For example, their logistics troops, those behind the tanks are their main troops. As long as Battalion Commander Yang and others are eaten by the Japanese army, the casualty rate of the 173rd Division regiment will exceed 50%. Facing the main force of the Japanese army, which is still a fresh force
Zhou Yuan will definitely not be able to withstand the attack."
Seeing that Tang Cheng did not believe his words, Liu Yangyang pointed to the Japanese soldiers standing in formation behind the Japanese tanks and said in a deep voice, "As a commander, you must not regard yourself as a soldier fighting on the battlefield, but as a bystander."
Only bystanders are the most sober. When you see the enemy being beaten badly, you should quickly look away, pay attention to where your position is not performing well, where there is a crisis, and think about whether to call for reinforcements;
Pay close attention to the enemy's troop movements and enemy troop movements."
"Look at the Japanese soldiers standing behind the tanks. Have they been in a panic since they appeared? There was no order from the leading officer. They just stood there without any confusion. There are only well-disciplined main forces in the Japanese army.
That’s why we have such military discipline. Since yesterday, the Japanese army against us has made continuous mistakes in troop deployment and offensive rhythm. If it were the main battle force of the Japanese army, I’m afraid we wouldn’t even be able to defend the first day, and there would be more
Let us retreat back to the city leisurely."
Tang Cheng didn't even think about the doubts Liu Yangyang mentioned. When Liu Yangyang mentioned it, when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case. There were at least a thousand Japanese troops fighting against them for two consecutive days. Such a number
Even though the Japanese troops were equipped with artillery, they were still unable to take down the position held by the garrison. At this time, Tang Cheng also felt that something was wrong, but from the bottom of his heart, he did not want to believe that the Japanese troops who had fought with them for two days were just some
Baggage troops.
"The heavy baggage troops are also Japanese soldiers. Fighting against them does not count as a loss of value for us. Our garrison is probably not even third-rate in the army. It is already very good to be able to withstand them for two days without retreating. Do you still want to
How can I and those country folk with their mud legs drive these Japanese troops out of Mengcheng?" Liu Yangyang pretended to be relaxed and widened his eyes as he looked at Tangcheng, but there was a strong sense of reluctance in his words.
As expected by Liu Yangyang, while talking to Liu Yangyang in Tangcheng, the battalion of soldiers commanded by Battalion Commander Yang had been surrounded by swarming Japanese troops on the dilapidated position. The Japanese army gave up fighting with Battalion Commander Yang's men.
Instead of fighting hand to hand, the soldiers chose to distance themselves and use skilled marksmanship to clear out the 173rd Division soldiers one by one. The two rounds of Japanese shelling had already caused heavy casualties to the soldiers under Battalion Commander Yang. In addition, when they killed two small groups of Japanese soldiers,
The casualties paid, the casualties of the soldiers of Battalion Commander Yang's battalion actually exceeded half.
Tang Cheng, who was holding the telescope, bit his lip tightly, and his lower lip was already bleeding from it, but Tang Cheng himself didn't know. "I know what you kid is thinking about. If you think you can rely on what we have left,
These few people can kill the Japanese tanks and repel them with their own hands, so I won’t stop you, kid. But if you can’t do it, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. I can’t just turn a blind eye.
Watch you die." Liu Yangyang gave Tang Cheng a hard blow, which was a reminder to the boy who had already fallen into madness.
Unlike face-to-face fighting with the Japanese, it was a completely different scene when Tang Cheng looked at the battlefield through a telescope. On a battlefield full of gunshots, the "click-click-click" sound of machine gun fire was very conspicuous. Tangcheng's telescope often showed
Some of the soldiers of the 173rd Division who were moving quickly in twos and threes were shot. Under the powerful impact of the machine gun bullets, the people who were shot would suddenly twist their bodies weirdly like puppets with broken strings and then use very unnatural movements.
Posture fell.
If the soldier who was not hit by luck stopped to rescue his comrades, he was likely to be shot next. Japanese soldiers also used grenades to bombard the soldiers of the 173rd Division who gathered together. Those explosions were seen in the telescope
There was just a small puff of gray-black smoke that would soon dissipate, and the sound of explosions reached the ears, which was similar to the firecrackers heard during the holidays. However, every time an explosion sounded on the battlefield, Tang Cheng who was watching the battle was shocked.
There is an immersive feeling.
In Tang Cheng's worried eyes, the Japanese tanks began to move forward and continued to bombard the city gate with artillery fire. Tang Cheng was somewhat fortunate that the target of the Japanese tanks was not the soldiers of the 173rd Division rushing down the slope, but his kind
Fortunately, it only lasted for less than a few seconds and then disappeared, because there was a sharp tearing sound in the sky - the Japanese artillery group opened fire. The Japanese main battle force stayed out of the incident and allowed the troops of the 173rd Division to fight with their own baggage troops.
, maybe the Japanese army did this to see clearly the strength of their opponents, but they didn't want to wait anymore, they finally showed their minions and took action.
In the sky, artillery shells seemed to be flying continuously without stopping. Continuous explosions continued to appear in the distant positions. The black smoke, flames and dust accompanying the explosions rose into the air, completely covering the distant horizon. Lying down on the slope.
Tang Cheng and the others in the cave all felt a huge dizziness. "It's over, Mengcheng is over, and the troops of the 173rd Division are over." Cold sweat poured down Tang Cheng's body and face, and he looked at the battlefield in the distance with his telescope, feeling in his heart
Hope that a miracle will happen.
This is a battlefield of life and death, not the fairy tales that Robert told Tangcheng since he was a child. Of course, there will be no miracles. Therefore, the defeat of the 173rd Division is a foregone conclusion. Liu Yangyang's judgment just now is absolutely correct.
If the troops of the 173rd Division now dominate the battlefield, then Tangcheng will definitely flatter Liu Yangyang no less than Zhuge Liang. But the current result makes Tangcheng hate Liu Yangyang's judgment very much. He even
Some didn't want to talk to Liu Yangyang.
"Let's go, let's go to Beishan to find Jiu Jin." Liu Yangyang's words made Tang Cheng glare. He knew Liu Yangyang was right, but he just couldn't accept Liu Yangyang's cold blood. A few hours ago, they had fought with the 173rd Division.
The troops are fighting side by side, but now they are strangers. "Old Xu, take him away. How long has it been? He is still acting childish here. Do you want to drag these people to die here with you?"
