When the Japanese's second round of artillery fire finally stopped after half an hour of bombardment, the commanders of each Japanese army immediately issued orders to their subordinates to immediately carry out coordinated infantry and tank operations.
Tom, tom, tom!”
As the general attack of the Japanese troops began, rows of artillery shells flew out from the gun barrels of the Japanese tanks, brutally bombing the headquarters of the 133rd Sichuan Army.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Five or six artillery shells exploded beside the Sichuan officers and soldiers on the front line of the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army.
In an instant, a large piece of soil flew up, and the shells killed several Sichuan soldiers.
But the Sichuan soldiers on the front lines have not yet reacted.
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
The vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns on the Japanese tank troops also immediately rang out bursts of machine gunfire.
Several machine guns fired continuously, and the dense rain of bullets directed at the Sichuan soldiers who had been shelled and bombarded by tank guns in a coordinated manner.
"Ah ah ah ah ah"
Suddenly, another group of Sichuan soldiers were shot and fell into a pool of blood.
Five or six Japanese tanks moved flexibly, trying their best to avoid the bullets flying from the Sichuan army and the strikes of light and heavy machine guns.
and grenade attacks,
Still moving forward indomitably, advancing and killing.
"Son of a turtle! These stupid devils are dispatching tanks to fight! Hurry up and organize death squads to blow them up with explosive packs and grenades! Hurry!"
Faced with the coordinated operations of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles as soon as they attacked, the Sichuan soldiers on the front line were suddenly disrupted in their combat rhythm.
Originally, their combat rhythm had already been disrupted by the Japanese heavy artillery units and their respective artillery units gathering together for artillery bombing.
So now it is even worse and we continue to suffer blows.
But what made the Sichuan soldiers on the front line even more dizzy was that behind a group of more than a dozen Japanese Type 96 tanks, there were also thousands of Japanese troops advancing.
"Hiss! Oh no! The Japanese army is coming. How come everyone is fighting to the death!"
So the Sichuan army commanders who had just ordered to organize death squads to blow up Japanese tanks also exclaimed even more and continued to shout.
Faced with such a sudden change in the war situation,
Yang Hanyu, the commander of the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army, also looked extremely solemn.
"Master! What should we do now? The Japanese have more infantry troops than we thought! And now they have more than ten tanks attacking us! The situation this time is not optimistic at all!"
"What shall we do in the next battle?"
Seeing the strength of the Japanese troops that was completely beyond his expectation, the commander of the 397th Brigade Zhou Hanxi was also very anxious. He ran to the division commander Yang Hanyu and made urgent inquiries.
"Fight! Even if our entire division is wiped out here today, no one can be a deserter! No one can evacuate out of Chenjiaxing unless the military commander gives an order, otherwise I will be the first to shoot him!"
When Zhou Hanxi, the commander of the 397th Brigade, asked this question, the division commander Yang Hanyu, who was already in a bad mood, immediately yelled with an explosive temper.
"Ah! But the reinforcements from the 135th Division haven't arrived yet! I'm afraid we really have to."
However, in the face of the scolding of the division commander Yang Hanyu, the 397th Brigade Commander Zhou Hanxi still refused to give up and said worriedly.
"Get out of here and fight! The Japs' troops are coming to kill you, and you're still talking nonsense!"
"Get out of here!"
"Otherwise I will shoot you first!"
However, as soon as Zhou Hanxi, the commander of the 397th Brigade, finished speaking, the division commander Yang Hanyu immediately became furious and roared.
Faced with the first such furious mood of the division commander Yang Hanyu, the commander of the 397th Brigade Zhou Hanxi immediately gave up. He immediately shut up and commanded his troops, continuing to organize death squads to blow up Japanese tanks and chariots, and to fight with others.
The Japanese infantry units fought desperately.
All of a sudden, the entire Chen family line was once again in flames of war. There were shouts of death everywhere, as well as the mournful sounds of those killed in battle, as well as miserable howls and calls for help.
"It's my fault! Are there any reinforcements from the 135th Division? I can't stand it any longer. And are there any reinforcements from the national army troops?"
"Fight these devils for me, it's better to seek help from others than from yourself!"
After seeing the situation on the battlefield becoming more and more unfavorable to his troops, the division commander Yang Hanyu personally took a pistol and went to the front line to command the troops to kill the enemy. He even took the lead in counterattacking the Japanese troops' menacing attacks.
At this time, the 135th Division Headquarters,
Division Commander Yang Hanzhong had already received a dispatch order from military commander Yang Sen, asking him to immediately deploy half of his troops to support the 133rd Division in its battle to hold on to Chenjiaxing.
After reading the telegram, the division commander Yang Hanzhong did not hesitate and immediately dispatched the 403rd Brigade and rushed over to support the operation. Moreover, the brigade commander Luo Runde personally led the team there.
And he himself went to the battlefield in person with his chief of staff to supervise his troops to hold on to the front positions he was responsible for.
Because he suddenly lost half of his troops, it was really hard.
As for the national army,
19th Army General Headquarters,
Commander Xue Yue also received a telegram from Yang Senlin asking for help.
So at this time, he was also frowning, wondering whether he should immediately dispatch troops to support, and which troops could be sent to support the Sichuan Army's 133rd Division to defend Chenjiaxing.
This is a headache problem, because now the national army is facing more and more Japanese troops, and the fighting situation is very unfavorable for them to fight.
Moreover, the battle situation is getting more and more fierce, and the casualties are heavy, so now he himself lacks elite troops to fight on the battlefield.
"Damn it! If only the Gui Army had arrived on the battlefield now, then I could immediately ask the Gui Army troops to support these Sichuan Army troops, or even hand them over to the Gui Army troops to take over the battlefield, but now I myself lack
The source of troops!"
"I can send troops from there to support them, okay?"
"It won't help if there are fewer troops dispatched! Now they are all targeted by the Japanese with almost a division's worth of troops to fight! That's not something that small troops can support!"
"If we send more troops, the problem is where to find so many troops for them!"
"So annoying!"
However, when Commander Xue Yue suddenly wondered which troops he could dispatch to support the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army as soon as possible, he was also angry and cursed in his heart.
Just when Commander Xue Yue was anxious about where he could mobilize more troops to support the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army, He Feiyang's frontline position also had a large group of Japanese troops advancing towards them.
There were as many as three Japanese tanks leading the battle.
In response to this, all the officers and soldiers under He Feiyang's command became nervous.
Because they were not equipped with anti-tank weapons and equipment, they were anxious and nervous.
