Xiang Zhengyong was ordered to lead his troops to lag behind. He lined up all the combat vehicles and tanks and waited quietly for two or three minutes before the cavalry regiment of the 17th Division came to the door.
Not all Japanese cavalry are as smart and quick to respond as that major, and if they hesitate even a little, they will pay the price with their lives. Hundreds of anti-pathological general-purpose machine guns block the approximately three thousand meters of river embankment section. , more than two thousand Japanese cavalry rushed up, and more than five hundred of them were killed without even taking a chance. The remaining people on both sides of the car array quickly fled along the river embankment in the north-south direction, while those in the middle quickly jumped Go down the river embankment and get out of the way of the frontal attack.
After the cavalry, there is the Japanese tank force.
The new Type 99 tanks, Chilo tanks, and Type 75 armored vehicles, these Japanese tanks did not dare to show their faces when facing the "Mandrill" heavy tanks of the Cadet Army. At this time, in order to avoid being covered by the artillery fire of the Cadet Army, they stepped up one after another. Driving up the river embankment at full power, some of the Japanese commanders secretly decided that even if there were minefields in front of them, they would bravely go through. No matter what, they must let the Chinese people know that the tank troops of the Empire of Japan are not decorations. , their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated,
Bai Liusu wanted to study abroad and the Ninth Brigade was delayed in order to block the Japanese tank troops to avoid being indiscriminately fired and damaging the military trucks in front.
This was another confrontation between the Xuebing Army and the Japanese tank force since the Battle of Nanjing. At that time, the Xuebing Army dispatched the pre-improved model of the "Mandrill", while the Japanese Army dispatched the newly developed Type 99, which was used in service , the Xuebing Army tank unit achieved an overwhelming victory,
Now, the main tanks of the Japanese army are eleven new Type 99 tanks, also known as Type 99B. However, the training army is dispatching the medium-sized tank "Yangtze Alligator", which is second only to the "Mandrill". Both in terms of armor protection capabilities and tank gun caliber, The "Alligator" is one level weaker than the "Mandrill", but the Type 99B is one level higher than the Type 99. One is the other, and it is said that the Japanese 99B should be able to firmly suppress the "Alligator", but the result But it was beyond everyone's expectations. Eleven Type 99B tanks had just climbed up the river embankment. The next moment, the Japs driver felt that his vision was suddenly filled with red fire. Amidst the "rumbling" explosions, this Eleven Type 99B tanks were destroyed one after another without even getting a chance to fire. Three of them exploded. After the rumbling explosion, they turned into a piece of scrap metal.
The two fastest troops of the Japanese army, the cavalry and the chariot troops, were ambushed by the 9th Xuexue Brigade. Although the losses were not heavy, the pursuit was slowed down. Taking this opportunity, Bai Liusu led the The infantry had already moved a full three kilometers away from the battlefield and was far away from the artillery's friendly fire range.
When the roar of Japanese fighter planes could already be heard, Bai Liusu's hoarse voice sounded from the tank Xiang Zhengyong was riding: "Xiang Zhengyong, your troops will retreat immediately. In three minutes, the bombardment will begin." He had been waiting for it. Seeing this moment, Hearing this, he shouted to Huamai: "The Ninth Brigade is here, retreat. In three minutes, the Eighth Division will be beaten away."
"Retreat, go."
"Turn around, hurry, hurry, the Eighth Division is about to fire."
The 9th Xue Brigade turned around and ran away. Nearly 300 tanks, smoking black smoke, chased at full speed towards the large army a few kilometers away. The Japanese soldiers who climbed up the river embankment were all stunned.
"The Chinese people were beaten away by us." A Japanese soldier asked his comrades beside him. He couldn't believe that the scene he saw before him was real.
"Idiot, why are you running away? Are they defeated?"
"But."
"Ono, don't move. We will hide in the Chinese trenches later. I think the Chinese are going to fire."
"ah."
Behind the remaining Japanese tank troops, densely packed Japanese soldiers rushed up the river embankment. Okamura climbed up the river embankment with the help of several men. At first glance, he looked to the east and south and saw white snowflakes splashing. Kai Lai, his face became serious, then he looked up to the northeast, his face softened, and he thought to himself: "Fortunately, the aviation force arrived in time. In this case, even if the Xuebing Army fires artillery now, I The loss to the department will not be too great.”
As soon as Okamura finished speaking, a sudden rumble sounded from the southeast, like a volcanic eruption. A few seconds later, the scream of artillery shells came through the air. The old Japanese's face changed drastically. What he was most worried about had happened.
This round of artillery bombardment was even more violent than the previous round of raids on Qinglan Village. It imitated the three artillery brigades of the Eighth Division, the heavy artillery equipped by the 22nd Brigade with a caliber of 150 mm, and the heavy artillery equipped by the 23rd Brigade. One hundred and twenty millimeters, learned from the 24th Brigade's one hundred and five millimeters. The previous round of shelling, because the distance reached fifteen kilometers, has exceeded the optimal range of the heavy artillery with a caliber of one hundred and five millimeters. , so the only ones participating in that round of shelling were the 22nd and 23rd Xue Brigades and the 150mm heavy artillery regiment directly under the division. The number of participating troops was one brigade less than now.
With the artillery output of one more brigade, the damage caused to the Japanese army will naturally be greatly increased, and because of the previous sniper attack by the 3rd Xuexi Division, the Japanese army swarmed on the Nanchang section of the Ganjiang River, and the ice surface could not withstand heavy artillery bombardment. So, just three minutes into the artillery bombardment of the Eighth Division, the Japanese army suffered huge casualties. What Okamura Neji and Yoshimoto Sadji couldn't accept was that these casualties did not come from the enemy's artillery fire, but from the enemy's artillery fire. The surface of the Ganjiang River has turned into a bottomless pit,
The Ganjiang River seemed to have come to life at this time. Under the precise strikes of the artillerymen of the Eighth Learning Division, the ice surface of the Nanchang section of the Ganjiang River near the east bank was first blasted away, and began to collapse toward the center of the river, and then the ice surface near the west bank was blasted away. The surface of the ice was also blasted away, and as all the ice on the east and west sides of the shore was blasted away, the fate of the Japanese on the ice was actually doomed.
Groups of Japs were hit by artillery fire, and some were directly dismembered by the artillery fire or blown away by air waves, while more Japs collapsed into the cold Gan River as the ice they were standing on collapsed. They were immediately swallowed by the Gan River and became Got Ganjiang Hebo’s dim sum,
"Save me." "Mom." "I don't want to die."...
Ten minutes after the shelling, the Japanese casualties had reached a terrifying figure. At this time, thousands of Japanese soldiers were howling and screaming on the increasingly large surface of the Gan River.
"Boom." Two consecutive artillery shells exploded next to Okamura. He was pressed down by more than a dozen staff officers, and he escaped in embarrassment. The Xuebing Army's artillery attack was initially aimed at the Ganjiang River. The Nanchang section was close to the ice on the east and west banks, and then they bombarded the ice with a width of about 1,500 meters. After bombarding the river for five minutes, the muzzle turned and aimed at the ice that had already charged. The Japanese troops on the embankment were hit with hundreds of artillery shells in one round. This density of shelling covered them from south to north. Wherever they passed, the Japanese soldiers were turned upside down. Even Okamura Neji and Yoshimoto Sadji were almost killed. ,
"Ba Ge, are Ouyang Yun ready to make an exchange with me?" Okamura thought unwillingly, feeling the roaring anger of the Eight Masters.
