Ouyang Yun rushed to Qianhu, and as soon as he got out of the car, he heard the sound of gunfire from the direction of the Lion Gate suddenly becoming more violent. He turned around and saw hundreds of fireballs hitting one direction one after another, and then
, the top of the Lion Gate Mountains, which had only occasionally flickered with flames, was completely enveloped in flames. He was startled for a moment, and then heard Huang Hua shout: "Commander-in-Chief, Division Commander Menkweili reported that the 18th Division has begun to evacuate."
"Oh!" Ouyang Yun responded, sighing thoughtfully.
In terms of situation, the battle at Qianhu has changed from an offensive and defensive battle to an encirclement and suppression battle. Once the chariot troops of the Ninth Academy Division appeared behind the East Route Army, Yamamuro Somu realized that his side had no chance. Even Okamura
The commander immediately came from the Lion Gate, but without weapons that could suppress the tanks of the cadet army, pure infantry only increased casualties.
Expendables, Jade Broken Special Attack - Yamamuro Munetake and Yamada Joji also tried it, but it was useless. The Ninth Academy Division originally had one brigade of infantry, and the Third Academy Division reinforced it with another brigade of infantry. In the combination of three vehicles and two steps
In front of us, there are no powerful weapons, and other tricks made by relying on manpower can only delay the time of the entire army's destruction. The special attack battle that was once proud of the little devils has become a suicide squad one after another.
The human-shaped torch, their last magic weapon, failed.
More than two hundred "Mandrills", "Alligators", "Platypuses" and a similar number of armored vehicles were lined up, followed by rows of cadet soldiers, and behind them were the artillery regiments of the 3rd Division. Who cares, you little devil.
Putting up a frontal defense formation, or organizing death squads to launch a special attack, or spreading out the formation to strengthen the depth of the defense, I just use one move - first bombard with heavy artillery, then use tank guns, machine guns, and combat anti-aircraft salvos
, and then, the tanks cleared the way, machine guns fired, and the student army followed and charged.
The fighting style of the Xuebing Army is very arrogant and rude. However, because of their absolute weapon superiority, no matter how much the Japanese have the will to fight, the spirit of sacrifice, and no matter how unwilling they are, there is nothing they can do. There has never been a life-and-death battlefield.
Truth, if there is any truth, it would be with a big fist.
After an hour and a half of fierce fighting, Yamamuro Munetake and Yamada Joji successively organized nine brigades for defense, and gathered another regiment to launch a fierce attack on the west bank of the former lake. However, it was in vain.
The artillery regiment of the Third Xuexi Division was only responsible for attacking at first, but later it simply began to help the defenders on the west bank of Qianhu Lake in defense.
The gap between those with cannons and those without cannons is huge, and the gap between those with tanks and those without tanks is equally huge (the Japanese did have tanks in the beginning, but they did not dare to compete with the tanks of the Xuebing Army. Naturally,
There would be no chance to show off). In addition, the trainees were quite proficient in coordinated infantry combat. The special attack tactics that the Japanese army had achieved success in the past were useless. As a result, the war situation began to show a one-sided trend.
It's inevitable.
With the roar of artillery and bursts of gunfire, they saw that the surrounding troops were getting smaller and smaller, while the cadet army was getting braver and braver. Yamamuro and Yamada knew that the situation was over, so they asked Hashimoto Mochishun to send a telegram to Okamura Neji to report the situation.
After that, about three groups of Japanese soldiers from nearby were organized and began to break out. With nearly a group of military policemen, they opened a passage from the northern shore of Qianhu Lake. Yamamuro Munetake led more than two thousand Japanese soldiers and fled - and behind them,
There were still several thousand Japs flopping, struggling, and shouting on the surface of Qianhu Lake. In addition, another three to four thousand Japs formed more than a dozen small formations to resist stubbornly.
Break it with one blow, then surround it and break it one by one.
Ouyang Yun dared to ask the Eighteenth Division to withdraw from Lion Gate because he knew that the battle in Qianhu was coming to an end.
"Capture Sanshi Zongwu alive!"
"Capture Yamada Joji alive!"
"Brothers, kill the Japanese!"
"Come on!"
On the east and west banks of Qianhu, the shouts of killing were loud, and flares flew into the sky one after another, illuminating the surrounding area.
Large-scale battles no longer exist, and are more often encirclement and annihilation battles based on regiments. Tanks, machine guns, and anti-tank artillery fire from the front, while infantry follows the tanks and launches a charge, machine gun fire, and grenade bombardment.
, then a submachine gun, and an assault rifle swept away——
No Japanese surrender because they know that surrender means death. The "battlefield discipline" of the Xuebing Army is no longer a secret, and after being deliberately exaggerated by the Japanese base camp, the Japanese now fear being captured more than dying in battle.
Because of this matter, Jiang Guangnai once debated with Ouyang Yun. As a truly traditional person, he has a strong attachment to the Heavenly Kingdom, so he believes that enforcing battlefield discipline on prisoners not only damages the Heavenly Kingdom's magnanimity, but also
It will also arouse the stubborn resistance of the remaining Japanese troops and increase the casualties of the troops, which is an overkill.
Ouyang Yun refuted him with one sentence - Anyone who offends our power, Hua Tian, will be punished no matter how far away he is! Otherwise, it is not enough to frighten the world. The Heavenly Kingdom has its own magnanimity, but it is definitely not now, nor is it right.
This kind of ungrateful and renegade robber country.
The fewer the Japs were left, the more intense the resistance became. Although the gunfire from the 38-year-old Gai was accompanied by the gunfire from the Wei Qing-style and Qubing-style firearms, it seemed weak, but it also brought considerable casualties to the Xuebing Army.
Every time a comrade dies, the offensive of the surrounding cadets will become more and more fierce. Hand-to-hand combat begins in many places, and the cadets who already have the absolute upper hand in numbers often greet each other in three or four, so one enemy after another is executed
He lost his head because of "battlefield discipline".
Some soldiers couldn't find any Japs to fight with, so they pointed their guns at the Japs struggling on the lake and began to clean up the battlefield.
At Lion's Gate, an indiscriminate saturation bombardment during the retreat of the 18th Division left almost no one alive. Two entire brigades of Japs were shouting with excitement because of the defeat of the Jewish cadets. The next moment they were counted.
The curtain of fire caused by the continuous explosion of hundreds of artillery shells was completely engulfed.
Ridian volunteered to stay to block the Japanese pursuit, which made Menqueri feel more and more guilty and sorry for him. So there was a subsequent bombardment regardless of the cost: "Bomb me hard, I want all the Japanese."
Bury them all with Lidian!"
This round of shelling came suddenly and violently, startling Hengshan Yong who was about to reach the top of the mountain and broke into a cold sweat. He was pinned down by several military policemen, his heart was beating wildly, and he thought: It's over, if the student
If the army repeatedly used this move, we would not have so many troops to consume. Based on this consideration, he gave the order to continue the attack five minutes after the bombardment stopped.
"Sir, the Jews have escaped!" a captain shouted from above.
Hengshan Yong cautiously climbed to the top of the mountain, and he woke up when he saw the 18th Division's convoy that had gone away. Just as he was about to give the order to pursue, the messenger suddenly shouted from the bottom of the mountain: "Commander's order, retreat!"
"
"Retreat?!" "Why retreat?!" There were voices of doubt on the top of the mountain. Many officers surrounded Yokoyama Isamu, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Hengshan Yong glanced in the direction of Qianhu and saw several fireballs exploding. He sighed and said: "The East Route Army may have been defeated! Withdraw!"
All the Japanese who heard this sentence were stunned.
