The armed off-road vehicles and armored vehicles of the special service company are not only more maneuverable than the Zero tank destroyer, but also have the same firepower. However, so what, Sanada knows that it can be smashed with one shot, but those Armed off-road vehicles and armored vehicles are as slippery as rabbits, always wandering out of range, and never willing to sell their backs to others. Therefore, the Zero Tank Destroyer has a sharp anti-tank gun and a hard Instead, he fell into a situation of being passively beaten. Three more tanks were destroyed by the special service company. Sanada realized that if he continued, let alone covering the retreat of the main force, whether he could complete the rendezvous with the main force would be a problem. He had no choice but to ask Miyamoto for help, hoping that Miyamoto would let the Toyota Team cover them.
Tanks with no speed, such as the Zero tank destroyer, should originally have infantry to assist in defense. Miyamoto and Sanada may have no special arrangements because they had infantry on the front line before. However, whether it is the Korean Communist Army or The real devils of the Sixth Division were no match for the infantry cadets. The infantry front quickly collapsed, and the Sanada tribe fell into an isolated and helpless situation. Now they can only be beaten passively, and they don't even have the strength to fight back.
During the Xiangtan Offensive and Defense Battle, when the Sixth Division's sharpest cavalry regiment was completely destroyed at Meilin Bridge, although the Japanese army still had nearly 20,000 people at the time, it had actually become meat on the chopping board. The Sixth Division was The encirclement of Xiangtan became a turning point in the Third Battle of Changsha. Anan Weiji could not bear the responsibility for the annihilation of the Sixth Division again. The little devil often belatedly ordered the reserve troops to reinforce Xiangtan, but instead gave the students a Therefore, Ouyang Yun, who was training the coalition forces in Guangzhou, personally flew to Ganzhou, personally commanded the Ganzhou Aviation Corps and the Chongzuo Aviation Corps, and began to conduct frequent air raids on the Japanese reinforcements in Xiangtan. Not only this Two aviation regiments, including Langya still in Nanchang, were also mobilized. Ding Yi personally led his helicopter brigade and used the super maneuverability of helicopters to be active in the border areas of Hunan and Jiangxi to attack small Japanese troops. By February 1943, On March 6, the Battle of Changsha ended with the Xuebing Army completely liberating Jiangxi and Hunan and marching to three towns in Wuhan. In this battle, the Xuebing Army annihilated more than 90,000 Japanese troops and more than 30,000 Korean communists at the cost of more than 20,000 casualties. Invalids and more than 20,000 peace troops,
Victory reports came frequently on the Western Front, and the Eastern Front was no less generous. Just when He Zhengjiang and Marshal Zhang joined forces at Huangshi, Shan Renxiong and Li Tieshu's troops also joined forces at the gates of Nanjing, and it was Hu who fought under Shan Renxiong's command. Thirteen’s Santai Guerrilla Column,
When Fox Shisan first returned to Taixing, he only had more than 30 people and dozens of guns. However, in less than two years, the Santai guerrilla column has now grown to more than 50,000 people. Fox Shisan led 30,000 The remaining people fought all the way from Yangzhou to Zhenjiang and arrived at the designated assembly point, Baohua, three days before the main force of the single hero.
At that time, Li Tieshu's troops had been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army and the Peace Army for a week in Jiangning. The strategic significance of Nanjing was too important. Even though the Japanese army had to balance the Pacific Front and Qinling combat forces, they were actually unable to make ends meet. However, under the strict orders of the Tokyo base camp, , Umezu Yoshijiro of the Kwantung Army and Okamura Neiji of the North China Front still supported Takashi Sakai at all costs. The Japanese army in the Nanjing and Shanghai directions also increased to seven divisions and four were mixed into independent brigades. In addition, With three divisions and six independent brigades of the Korean Communist Army and about 150,000 peace troops, the total strength of the Japanese army has actually reached 600,000.
The Japanese army massively increased its troops in Nanjing and Shanghai. After Shan Renxiong and Li Tieshu obtained the consent of the general headquarters, they also transferred their second-line troops to the front line. Shan Renxiong's Zhejiang Second Army only retained one regular division and three guerrillas. The column defended the southeastern coast of Zhejiang, and all other troops marched eastward; Li Tieshu's Fujian Third Army was originally the most powerful after the First Army and the Eighth Army, and because Ye Zhao's Fourth Army was actively attacking in Taiwan, the Japanese army Unable to threaten the Fujian coast from Taiwan, Li Tieshu simply left only the Self-Defense Forces for home defense. In fact, he had eight regular divisions and six guerrilla columns, with a strength of more than 150,000.
The Japanese army on the eastern front had two aircraft carrier fleets of the Combined Fleet, as well as army aviation units in northern Jiangsu, Shandong and Shanghai. The number of fighter planes was more than three times that of the Second Army and the Third Army combined. However, as the Xuebing Army With the expansion of the production capacity of the Golden Eagle and the equipment of a new generation of air-to-air missiles to the front-line troops, the Japanese aviation force, except for the fifty special attack aircraft, is still able to compete. Other types of fighters are not even qualified to get close to the Golden Eagle. The air superiority on the battlefield is little by little. The most obvious manifestation of the acquisition of air supremacy on the ground battlefield is that the Xuebing Army's tank troops can attack the Japanese army unscrupulously, while the Japanese tank troops and artillery units are simply out of control. Unable to get through, the Japanese army had no advantage in strength, but was constrained everywhere.
It was another full day of fierce fighting. After dark, the Fujian Air Corps began to withdraw from the battlefield, and the cadets on the ground also began to shrink into the trenches. The Japanese army had a huge advantage in strength, and it must have been because of the "no ground allowed" policy. The order was so tenacious that Li Tieshu had no choice but to dare to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Japanese army only with the support of aviation troops. When the aviation troops withdrew from the battlefield at night, he took a defensive position and relied on his own tanks and artillery. Sharp artillery fire for defense,
"They were overtaken by Xiao He and Marshal Zhang." Sitting on a simple chair made of two ammunition boxes, Li Tieshu said to Chief of Staff Zhang Gongming while eating dinner.
"But so far, we have annihilated more than 100,000 puppet troops, which is a good result." Zhang Gongming said with a smile,
"Fox Thirteen's troops have arrived in Baohua."
"Yes, he sent a telegram in the afternoon and said he would come over in the evening."
"Three days after leaving, I was very impressed. I always thought that Fox Thirteen was very skilled and a lone ranger. Who would have thought that he was actually a handsome guy."
"Yes, in the sneak attack on Baohua, I heard that they only suffered three casualties."
"It's amazing. I'll have to ask him how he did it later."
Two hours later, Fox Shisan and two of his men appeared in front of Li Tieshu.
"I've lost weight." Li Tieshu said when he saw him, and slapped him hard on the shoulder.
"I have big worries." Fox Shisan smiled naively,
"It's not easy. In just over two years, more than 50,000 people have been armed." Li Tieshu praised sincerely.
"It all depends on the support from the headquarters. Without the weapons and equipment continuously provided by the headquarters, we would not be able to develop so fast."
"Okay, don't be arrogant, come and sit down. Commander He and Commander Zhang have joined forces in Huangshi and will attack Wuhan next. We must capture Nanjing before they regain Wuhan..."
