Chapter three hundred and three watching the battle
As early as the Battle of Wuhan, Yang Sen had dealt with the Xuebing Army. At that time, he felt that the people were more powerful than the people. But now when he saw Rao Guohua's lineup, he could only smile bitterly in his heart. Suddenly, he felt that he had wasted all these years. Come on, during the war in the Republic of China, the three southwestern provinces were the hardest hit. This is why the Guizhou soldiers, Yunnan soldiers and Sichuan soldiers were able to fight hard when they joined the anti-Japanese front line. Although Yang Sen's vision was not broad, for example, he didn't know The use of tanks also did not understand the significance of infantry and artillery coordination, but as an experienced soldier, he just glanced at the battlefield and understood how powerful the student army was now. There was artillery support in the rear, and judging from its posture, it did not care about the loss of ammunition. The one at the front is the kind of heavy tank that can shake the ground when it moves. Behind the heavy tank is the armored vehicle and infantry covering it. Regardless of the tactical literacy of the trainees, Yang Sen knows this battle with such powerful firepower output alone. They won for sure,
"Bi Chen, your style of fighting is too bullying. It's just a waste of money. Alas, if I had such an army, I wouldn't need more, even one division, and I wouldn't have to live in the mountains of Guizhou." He expressed emotion and glanced at Zhang Lingfu intentionally or unintentionally. Zhang Lingfu was the "supervisory army" sent by Chiang Kai-shek to Yang Sen's visiting team. However, from Zhang Lingfu's perspective, he didn't care about this supervisory duty at all. Instead, he paid attention to the student soldiers. The army’s tactics and weapons are quite curious,
Zhang Lingfu understood the meaning of Yang Sen's glance. Lao Jiang asked Yang Sen to surrender Rao Guohua and Liu Yuqing. The reason was that Ouyang Yun would discriminate against the Sichuan Army. Rao and Liu would definitely not be successful in the military training army. However, the facts proved that Lao Jiang's reason was untenable. , Ouyang Yun had no intention of discriminating against the Sichuan Army, and even relied heavily on Rao Guohua and Liu Yuqing.
"Hui Gong, we are just treating others in their own way. Remember how rampant the little devils were during the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing. The planes bombed in the sky and the artillery bombarded the ground. Under the guidance of our Commander-in-Chief The idea is that as long as it can be exchanged for artillery shells, it will never be replaced by human life. Every student is priceless..." Rao Guohua said,
Zhang Lingfu suddenly interjected: "General Rao, with the intensity of your attack, Nanchang is just around the corner. Will you take the opportunity to capture Hunan?"
"Our goal is to regain the entire territory of Jiangxi and Hunan. We don't have the strength yet." Rao Guohua replied,
"Don't your army have forty-one divisions of regular troops, and the air force is very powerful..." Zhang Lingfu said,
"But our combat area is equally vast, including Taiwan, the Philippines, Indochina, northwest China, Zhejiang, and now Jiangxi. Colonel, our military strength is not enough to launch a larger-scale counterattack."
Zhang Lingfu did not dwell on this issue anymore, but asked: "General Rao, can you arrange for me to go to the front line to have a look."
Rao Guohua became wary and was looking at him to consider his intentions when Yang Sen slapped his thigh and said: "Yes, yes, they all say how the military can fight, let's see it up close."
Rao Guohua frowned: "The front line is too dangerous."
Yang Sen waved his hand and said: "Bi Chen, are you afraid of leaking your army's military secrets? Don't worry, we know the seriousness and we won't talk nonsense when we get back."
After Yang Sen had said this, Rao Guohua thought about it and stopped insisting. He called the guard group and took them to the front line.
Rao Guohua issued an order before setting off, asking the frontline troops to leave them alone, so after they went up, the battle on the frontline did not change. As Yang Sen said, the Xuebingjun's style of play was bullying. In the previous three hours of During the bombing and shelling, the Japanese permanent defenses were almost non-existent. The 40th Division only had one brigade of tanks. These tanks were annihilated by the Whiteback medium bombers of the Xuebing Army Air Force before they could reach the battlefield. This resulted in the Japanese army having no choice but to send out troops to deal with the threat of tanks from the cadet army. However, lacking the cover of trenches, the troops were often killed by machine guns and cadet snipers behind them before they could even rush to the front of the mandrills. Although the ground troops of the Xuebing Army were launched into the attack less than an hour ago, all the Japanese positions outside Nanchang were defeated, and they could only rely on the Nanchang city defense for defense.
Tanks are not conducive to sieges and street fighting. When the battle reaches this point, we can only rely on armored vehicles and infantry. At this time, the role of the Japanese army's support team is reflected.
Rao Guohua and his party first came to the southern suburbs where Mao Xianglong's brigade was mainly attacking. They were still three kilometers away from the south gate of Nanchang City. The sound of gunfire suddenly became intensive, and the activities of the stretcher team composed of Jiangxi veterans also became active. The sound of cannons was occasionally mixed with various human voices. Rao Guohua waved his hand and ordered the guard regiment to stop advancing and said to Yang Sen: "Hui Gong, we can't go any further. Just watch here."
Before Yang Sen could speak, Zhang Lingfu frowned and said, "It's too far. Come closer."
Rao Guohua firmly disagreed and said: "It's too dangerous. You are my guests. I must ensure your safety."
Yang Sen picked up the telescope and looked forward, and then said: "Just look here, you can use the telescope to see carefully."
Yang Sen spoke, and Zhang Lingfu could only obey. He picked up his binoculars and looked towards the battlefield ahead. He immediately stopped caring about anything else. The first thing he captured was a Japanese soldier jumping off the city wall with a cluster grenade in his arms. He quickly turned the camera Moving down, I saw an armored vehicle and several cadets in camouflage uniforms behind the armored vehicle. The armored vehicle and the cadets reacted at the same time. The machine gun on the armored vehicle spit out tongues of flame, and the cadets fell to the ground. , and at the same time raised their rifles and fired violently, the Japanese soldiers exploded in the air, turning into a ball of fire and hitting the front of the armored vehicle. Then the fireworks generated by the continuous explosion enveloped the entire armored vehicle. As soon as the explosion stopped, a dozen people wearing yellow military uniforms The figure rushed out of the fireworks, and the Japanese soldiers in the city took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack. "What a pity." Zhang Lingfu thought in his heart. Just as he was about to turn the camera, the door of the burning armored vehicle was suddenly pushed open, revealing a figure whose whole body was on fire. Rushing into the Japanese army, a ball of flames exploded. The cadet actually chose the same fighting method as the Japanese soldier... Because of the cadet's sacrifice, the cadets behind the armored vehicle stabilized their position. Immediately, the brutal hand-to-hand combat began. Zhang Lingfu watched a soldier put a gun on his shoulder and pulled out a big knife. He shook his head at first and thought why would he use a knife when there was a gun? Then his eyes widened. For three seconds at most, This student soldier knocked down two Japanese soldiers. The first one was decapitated by him, and the stomach of the second one was cut open by him. The Japanese soldiers who rushed out were quickly killed. Zhang Lingfu made a quick calculation. , concluded that the battle loss ratio between the two sides was one to two, with the Xuebing Army first and the Japanese army second. Considering that the previous artillery fire from the Xuebing Army had caused as much damage to the Japanese army as this kind of positional battle, he knew that Nanchang would really be there. Today we were captured by the Xuebing Army.
"Is this still the Chinese army?" He suddenly murmured softly, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.
