Kanda Masane's original plan was that the more than 10,000 Japanese troops lurking in the Hengshan Mountains were used to ambush and counter-encircle the cadet army when the cadet army was defeated. However, due to the Zero heavy battle fortress tactics, the cadet army defeated them in advance and caused The battlefield situation at Meilin Bridge was one-sided. As a last resort, the old Japanese had to launch these ambushes in advance.
When the first incendiary bomb accurately hit the Zero-type heavy battle fortress at the front and exploded, Miyamoto's eyes jumped wildly, and he immediately realized that his Achilles' heel had been found by the cadet army. This reason The incendiary bombs modified from air-dropped napalm bombs are only one-third as powerful as the former, but they are still not what the Zero Heavy Battle Fortress can withstand. The armor that the Zero Heavy Battle Fortress relies on for its survival has now become an accomplice. , have good thermal conductivity, so that under the burning of napalm, they quickly become pieces of iron plates that are better than those used for barbecue, and the devils inside become those dishes used for "teppanyaki", Less than ten seconds after the first incendiary bomb exploded and ignited the fire, the command channel of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment heard a scream that was not like a human voice: "Help, burn, burn to death." It is not enough for those who have not witnessed it. They can't understand this kind of pain, but from those screams, they can feel the pain those soldiers are experiencing. The screams first sounded once or twice and then fell into silence, and then they became a vast sea. ,,All the Zero heavy battle fortresses were attacked at almost the same time, which gave Miyamoto and Sanada Keiji no time to react. By the time they realized something was wrong and ordered the crew to abandon the vehicle, it was already too late. The Zero heavy battle fortress was ignited, and then burned blazingly. Many Zero heavy battles had a thick layer of mud on the outside. This should have been an excellent fire insulation material, but after being sprayed with napalm bombs , the soil actually burned, so what Miyamoto thought was the strongest fortress turned out to be the most desperate place of death for the Japs in the Chariot Brigade of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment. Some Japs endured the pain and opened the turret end cover to think. They wanted to rush out, but what greeted them was an increasingly violent flame. As soon as these devils got out of the tank, they turned into human torches. The effect of their insistence on doing this was just to make themselves suffer less pain and die faster. That's all,
The Toyota Advance Team was prepared by Miyamoto to capture a test mandrill for the Zero tank destroyer. These devils were hidden in the front line, and many of them had explosives on them. When the sound of artillery fire was heard from behind the Gakuin Army position, The Japs in the advancing team instinctively hid in the artillery-proof caves, hoping to escape this round of shelling. Most of these artillery-proof caves were located next to the Zero-type heavy battle fortresses. The Zero-type heavy battle fortresses burned violently, and the hot gas The waves were so thick that no one could stay in the cave. Many Japanese screamed and instinctively rushed out of the shell-proof cave to find a safe place to hide. However, many people were hit by the fire points splashed by incendiary bombs, and their clothes were and hair were immediately ignited, and then the explosives in his arms exploded uncontrollably.
There are not a few Japs from the Toyota Sedan Team who have been hit by splashing fire points. Once they are splashed by these fire points, it is impossible to extinguish them. Therefore, the Japs from the Toyoda Seiki Team use them to deal with the cluster grenades and grenades of the Xuebing Army. At this time, the explosive pack became a weapon to kill one's own people. Amidst the violent explosions, the Japanese soldiers of Toyota's team self-destructed one by one, and the nearby Japanese troops and the Korean sticks of Park Mintae's team were affected. The Japanese troops who regarded Toyota's Japanese defense force as a scourge were avoided, and the Japanese defense line immediately fell into chaos.
Akino San stayed in the tank and could not immediately discover the changes outside. By the time he heard something was wrong from the communication channel and decisively decided to abandon the tank, it was already too late. Coincidentally, he had just opened the top of the turret. An incendiary bomb roared over. Although the incendiary bomb failed to hit the target, once it exploded, the ignited napalm splashed up, and a lot of it fell directly into the tank. So, as Akino San's men watched Come on, as soon as their captain opened the end cover, his whole body immediately burst into flames,
"Your Excellency." A Japanese soldier shouted loudly. Before he finished shouting, flames were already raging in the car. The engine used by the Zero Heavy War was a gasoline engine. Gasoline is different from diesel. It has a very low ignition point. Once the napalm explodes, The temperature of the flame can reach hundreds of degrees in an instant. Therefore, although the engine and fuel tank of the Zero Heavy Combat are built-in, they are now burning in the car. The engine and fuel tank have become the biggest unsafe factors. Akino San Amid the screams of "Ah", a more violent explosion sounded, "Rumble", and the tail of the Zero Heavy War directly disintegrated, turning into a pile of broken steel and flying out.
One after another, the Zero Heavy Battle Fortresses were set on fire, and no one was untouched by incendiary bombs. Miyamoto finally regretted his original decision. His face was ashen as he watched the Zero Heavy Battle Fortresses first turn into explosive fireballs. , and then continuous explosions occurred, and around them, many firemen screamed and fled in all directions. His lips were trembling, and it took him a long time to issue the order: "Order the front-line troops to immediately shrink the defense line, and report to the Commander, Please give me tactical guidance..."
After the incendiary bomb attack, the artillery performance of the Xuebing Army did not end. What followed was a bombardment covered with ordinary artillery shells that lasted for ten minutes. Because the Japanese army's defense order was completely disrupted by the incendiary bomb offensive, this round of ordinary artillery bombardment was particularly efficient. Whether they were Gao, Japanese, or Korean, they were only trying to escape at this time. Their backs were to the artillery fire, so the casualties were extremely high. After the carpet bombardment, nearly two brigades of the Japanese army were deployed on the first three lines of defense. More than half of the Japanese troops and a large group of the Korean Communist Army were killed or wounded. In the end, less than a thousand people fled back to the four lines of defense. After the scene in hell just now, these people were completely discouraged and had actually lost their combat effectiveness.
When the battles at the Lotus Pond Battlefield and the Meilin Bridge Battlefield were raging, Kanda Shouche's eyes were attracted by the Second Gui Police Division on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River. Song Yi, the former commander of the Central Army, although he repeatedly expressed his views in private and public Now he is a military student, but his way of life and command style are still the characteristics of the Central Military Army. The most obvious style of the Central Military Army in fighting wars is to make adequate preparations. Therefore, when the other two fronts are fighting in full swing At that time, the headquarters was still preparing for war under his supervision, which Kanda Masakusa couldn't understand at all. He couldn't help but worry that the Xuebing Army had seen through his intentions and was preparing for defense in advance, so , he hesitated again and again and failed to contact the lurking Japanese troops in the Hengshan Mountains, for fear that it would alert the Xuebing Army in advance.
At this moment, bad news came from the Meilin Bridge battlefield. The strongest defense of the Miyamoto headquarters, the Zero Heavy War Fortress defense line, was actually broken by the cadet army. There was no dangerous place to defend on the Meilin Bridge battlefield. The Zero Heavy War Fortress defense line was The department's biggest reliance, due to pressure, the old Japanese did not bother to consider whether his intentions were discovered by the Xuebing Army, so he could only give orders to the latent troops to attack in advance.
