The rumbling sound of artillery sounded. In a bare broad-leaved forest south of Jiaoqiao Town, the heavy artillery regiment directly under the 11th Army Headquarters launched a fierce bombardment towards the west city of Nanchang. The sound of artillery had just sounded. To the southwest of Jiaoqiao Town, In the bay five kilometers away, three cadets wearing white hooded cloaks and camouflage uniforms of the cadet army poked their heads out of the snow where they were hiding. One of them said: "The regimental seat is at Jiao Bridge. "
It was the "Wolf Head" team led by Lu Zhibai himself. Lu Zhibai glanced in the direction of Jiao Bridge. The distance was too far and he could only see the shells passing by like meteors. He took off the microphone from the walkie-talkie behind him. , pressed the send button and shouted: "Rabbit, rabbit, please reply if you hear me."
"White Rabbit received it."
"The big gray rabbit received it."
"Hare received."
…
"Find the enemy artillery position closest to Jiaoqiao Town immediately."
"receive."
The rumbling sound of artillery only lasted for five minutes and then stopped. At this time, all the artillery vehicles, troop carriers, and logistics vehicles of the Eighth Division had just completed engine warm-up.
Eitaro Uchiyama strictly followed Neji Okamura's order. After five minutes of rapid fire, he immediately took all the artillery and began to move positions, moving from Jiaoqiao Town to Meiling Township in the northwest.
A quarter of an hour later, the "Big Gray Rabbit" discovered them. After the leader, Langya Gu Gang, reported to Lu Zhibai, he followed him from a distance with his brothers.
The shelling destroyed most of the Crystal Trench. There were many ice caps in the Crystal Trench. The "Crystal" protective wall was lifted, turning the fortress into a "ruined wall" with air leakage. The shelling had just stopped. Under the cover of three tanks, Suzuki Harumatsu once again He led his troops to launch an attack. Three tanks rushed to the front, providing cover for the infantry behind them. At the same time, they frequently fired a shot at the gap in the crystal trench, making the gap even bigger, and in some places , there was only two or three meters of ice wall left between the two gaps. When the tank fired two shots, the ice wall and the ice cap above collapsed immediately, and the passage leading to the Tibetan Soldier Cave was suddenly exposed. out,
Two students covered in blood stood up from the smoke. They dragged the body of a student and ran into the passage quickly.
"The Chinese are trying to escape." On the shore, Hengshan Yong raised his telescope and looked all the way from north to south. He only found a few cadets who had died in battle. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but said in confusion,
The tanks drove closer and closer. When there were only 300 meters away from the east bank, under the command of Suzuki Harumatsu, the machine gunners, grenadiers and mortars in the three columns of Japs all ran out of the team. They lined up and began to build a position, but there was still no movement at all over the crystal trench.
"Wait a moment." Bai Liusu said loudly in a passage,
About five hundred meters away from the front line, Ouyang Yun, Connor and others used a ruins as cover and were watching the battlefield with binoculars. Connor could not forget Bai Liusu. He asked Ouyang Yun about the scar-faced female general from time to time. All these things, without knowing that the latter was already sharpening the steel knife in his heart, just waiting for the German guy,
"Are foreigners' tastes so strong, or do they know that the scar on Liusu's face is fake?" Ouyang Yun thought, looking at Connor with increasingly unkind eyes, and the tone of his answers became more and more unkind. It's getting worse and worse,
You Xiaolian watched on the side and was secretly worried about Connor. Finally, she got a chance and told Connor in a subtle way: Commander Bai is the lover of the commander-in-chief. You Xiaolian was meddling in the German guy's business. It was for the sake of the latter, but unexpectedly Kang Na did not hear it at all, but instead yelled at Ouyang Yun, saying that he was too selfish, and said that since Mr. Bai is your lover, how can he put her in danger, "Sir, are you still a man? As a Man, how can you allow this kind of thing to happen?" Connor kept chattering, but he didn't know that because his words meant to demean women, he had already angered You Xiaolian,
Ouyang Yun wanted to care about the war situation, so although he was already sharpening his mind, he could not deal with such jealous private matters regardless of the priority. You Xiaolian was different. She had kindly reminded Connor just now. It was just that she saw that the Germans were not appreciative. He actually dared to discriminate against their women. He lost his temper and kicked Connor directly in the butt. He kicked the latter off the rubble. He pointed at him and cursed: "What's wrong with women? Without you men, the sky will collapse today." Well, I see you look like a human, but I didn’t expect you to be this kind of thing.”
You Xiaolian's shadowless feet are not unworthy of their reputation. Even though she has shown mercy, it is still not something that Connor's fragile butt can bear. Connor climbed up with difficulty, covering his butt with both hands and was about to settle the score with the sneak attacker. After being scolded by You Xiaolian, he realized that he had unintentionally offended the female soldiers around Ouyang Yun. Facing the frosty eyes of the women's soldiers, the German realized that he was wrong and finally closed his mouth.
At this time, the front line had already begun. When the Japanese tank was still 150 meters away from the crystal trench, with the sound of "fire" and "tongtong" from Bai Liusu, the grenade gun of the Xuebing Army took the lead in firing. More than thirty grenades hit the three tanks and the nearby ice in a flash. After the rumbling explosion, the "crack" sound of the ice cracking was heard. Amidst the exclamations of many Japanese soldiers, that The three tanks sank almost simultaneously and fell into the cold river water.
After taking care of the three tanks, the students swarmed out of the passage. Various types of Wei Qing-style firearms and general-purpose machine guns opened fire at the same time. The bullets streaked towards the three rows of Japanese soldiers, knocking down a large area immediately.
The sound of grenade launches from the opposite side was heard. Suzuki Harumatsu was so excited that he lay down on the ice. When he saw the cadets rushing out of the passage, he raised his command knife and shouted: "Kill them." In an instant, the weight of the Japanese army was revealed. Machine guns and 38 guns opened fire one after another, and the offensive and defensive sides began to shoot at each other.
This style of fighting has low technical content, but it tests the soldiers' willpower the most.
After about a quarter of an hour of shooting, both sides suffered casualties. Since there was no cover, the Japanese army's losses were much higher than those of the cadet army. After discovering the situation on the battlefield from a distance, Okamura Neiji sent someone to pass on the order. He asked Yokoyama Isamu to postpone the attack. At this time, the three brigades of the 17th Division that were responsible for the first round of offensive tasks had suffered more than one-third casualties.
These two attacks by the Japanese army were more probing. After encountering fierce resistance and judging that the Xuebing Army had no intention of giving up Nanchang, it seemed unwise to continue to expend it.
The Japanese troops retreated one by one. Bai Liusu put down the sniper rifle in his hand and ordered: "Sweep the battlefield quickly and enter the artillery hole."
From the rear, Jiang Huangyong called Zhang Tianquan again and learned that the Eighth Division had arrived in Zhangqiao Village. He contacted Lu Zhibai again and asked him to speak directly to Zhang Tianquan so that he could directly command the Eighth Division to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery.
