The sky has lost its light at this time. I don’t know if it is affected by the atmosphere of killing in the world. There is a chilling atmosphere between heaven and earth, and darkness covers the surrounding areas at a speed visible to the human eye.
Qian Guangming stood on the turret of an armored vehicle, looking at the battlefield not far away with a telescope. He saw the student soldiers falling to the ground one after another, while the Japanese machine gunners were pulling the triggers almost madly. After recovering from the effects of the Japanese gas bombs, he pressed the transmitter fiercely and shouted: "The target is right ahead, fight."
"Boom..." Almost at the same time, the engines of all armored vehicles and tanks roared like wild beasts. Black smoke spread out one after another. In the choking smell of oil fume, all the tanks accelerated together. Facing the battlefield just around the corner, the turret was slowly raised under the control of the gunner, and the anti-aircraft machine gun was pressed down flat. The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at the Japanese who had their backs turned to them, and they might spray out the flames of revenge at any time.
As the chariot troops approached, the faces of the cadet officers and soldiers began to show smiles. Wang Changyun smiled ferociously, shot down a Japanese with one shot, waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, our chariot troops are coming up, kill them!" .”
The two brigades of Japanese soldiers captured the student army from the left and right, and together with the large troops crossing the bridge to kill them, if nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to completely annihilate the student army. However, with the attack of those iron guys, Join and everything becomes unknown,
Ushijima Sadao was the first to discover the armored troops of the Gakuin Army. He saw more than a hundred tanks lining up in a dense formation and rushing towards the position of the Japanese brigade on the right. In the dazzling fire, tanks had already started shooting. The old devil With his mouth wide open, he looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh: "The Chinese chariot."
The chief of staff, Colonel Megumi Kodō, was staying next to him. At this time, the gentleman was looking in the direction of the armored forces with a telescope. When he heard the words of the division commander, the muscles on his face twitched and said: "Yes, he is a cadet." There are more than a hundred vehicles from the army. Can it be said that the poison gas bomb just now did not cause any damage to them."
Ushijima Sadao had been in battle for a long time. Considering that he did not have enough armored troops and cadet tank troops on hand to resist, he decisively ordered the troops to stop the attack, disperse and hide on the spot, and then ordered the heavy artillery regiment to deploy on the spot. position, aiming at the combat vehicle units of the Xuebing Army and shelling them.
The tyranny of the armored forces of the Xuebing Army has attracted sufficient attention from the Japanese army since the Great Wall War of Resistance. This is also the most fundamental reason why the Japanese army began to step up the development of heavy tanks. According to Ushijima Sadao, the data collected by the Kwantung Army clearly There are still quite a few errors. Take the chariot troops in front of us as an example. Those oversized guys are simply not something Quirrell can handle. He said bitterly: "Those idiots in the military department thought that as long as they gave Qi Luo If Luo improves the armor, he can fight against the tanks of the Xuebing Army. But look at the muzzles of those guns, which are at least 70 mm or more. If the Chinese are equipped with special artillery shells, how thick the armor will be to form effective protection. ,,order the troops crossing the river to retreat. The Tiangu and Kunizaki detachments have been destroyed. There is no need to pay too many sacrifices in this battle with an extremely asymmetrical balance of forces."
"Hai."
Because of the previous bombings, it is conceivable that the officers and soldiers of the chariot brigade hated the Japs. It was like a martial arts master who was suddenly poisoned by the enemy. This despicable method of the Japanese army made them completely angry. ,
Therefore, under the attack of their hundred guns, even though Ushijima Sadao promptly issued the order to retreat, the two large groups of Japanese who crossed the river still suffered great casualties. More than 2,500 people, In the end, only more than 1,800 people retreated from the battlefield safely.
This is because Qian Guangming's main purpose is just to save people. If they open up their intentions to kill, not to mention the two brigades, the entire 23rd Brigade and the 18th Division's direct troops will probably be severely damaged. loss,
The two troops merged, and the Japanese army also began to retreat in the opposite direction. They did not even dare to take away the remains and wounded of the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield.
As soon as the Japanese troops retreated, Wang Changyun, who was in an excited state, clamored to launch a counterattack: "Commander Qian, fight across the river and annihilate all these Japs to avenge Captain Zhang."
While Qian Guangming ordered the troops to clean the battlefield, enforce battlefield discipline on the Japanese wounded, and rescue the wounded on his own side, he said: "The task we received is just to pick up your troops. Later, we have to rush to join the 13th Brigade... …”
"But I have lost so many brothers."
With an explosion of "Boom.", a heavy bomb landed about fifty meters away from them. An armored vehicle closer to the explosion point was immediately overturned.
Qian Guangming frowned and said: "Look, the Japanese army has heavy artillery and a lot of tanks. We alone can't defeat those Japs. Commander Wang, I also want to avenge my brothers. But now our mission is to bring you and the brothers from the 13th Brigade back to the main force safely." Lowering his voice, he said: "You should know about the commander and Commander Li. In order to avoid chaos, we cannot initiate the attack now. Let’s wait until we get back to the headquarters to discuss any major operations or anything else.”
"Qiu." Wang Changyun was very unwilling. There were more than 1,200 people in his regiment, but now there were less than 100 alive. If according to the regulations, the organization of his regiment could be revoked. How could he not be angry?
Niu Yide came over, patted him on the shoulder, pulled him aside, and persuaded him: "Execute the order."
Ouyang Yun had a somewhat absurd dream,
In this dreamland, the world he lives in turns out to be cyan, with cyan sky, cyan earth, and cyan everything. In this world, he is still a soldier, but the difference is that he is holding a handful of Da Dao, and his subordinates are a group of warriors in armor. As for their enemies, they are a group of weirdos wearing strange masks who can fly freely in the sky. One can imagine the difference in strength between one in the sky and the other on the ground. Although Ouyang Yun and the soldiers worked hard, they were unable to attack the enemy, but they could only be passively attacked by the enemy. As a result, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and finally, he was the only one left. Why, I am unwilling." He shouted, his face full of blood and tears. Around him, the blood of the robes dyed the blue land red, so his world turned red, and many flying The weirdos in the sky surrounded him, and they screamed strangely. Suddenly, the leading weirdo took off his mask and revealed his true face. It turned out to be a Japanese face.
"Poor Chinese people, you can't defeat us. No matter where you come from, no matter how hard you try, what awaits you will still be failure." The leading weirdo said in Japanese, and then led all the weirdos to arrogantly shout. Laugh...
And just when he was unwilling to be manipulated by fate and stood up to resist, he suddenly heard a cry: "Commander is awake." Through a little light, several unfamiliar but familiar faces appeared in front of him, and he shook his head vigorously. , thought hard, and finally remembered the names of these people: "Ding Yi, Shan Renxiong, Ye Zhao, are you guys?"
The single heroes and others all had expressions of surprise on their faces. Ye Zhao took a long breath and said, "Okay, the commander is finally fine."
At this time, Ouyang Yun had already remembered what happened. He immediately sat up, grabbed the single hero closest to him and asked: "How is Li Hanhun, how are the 13th Brigade and the 604th Regiment? "Then, he felt something strange on his body. When he looked down, he almost fainted from shock, and shouted: "Damn, what the hell."
His body was covered with shining silver steel needles. The densely packed steel needles dressed him up like a hedgehog. The terror of his appearance shocked Ouyang Yun in a way that no outsider could explain.
These steel needles are naturally Ding Yi's masterpiece. Ding Yi's steel needles can not only torture enemies to extract confessions, but can also save people.
Ye Zhao said: "The soldiers haven't woken up yet. The 13th Brigade and the 604th Regiment are back. However, Wang Laorou and his team suffered heavy casualties."
Ouyang Yun's face suddenly became a little gloomy. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is Lao Li okay?"
Ding Yi replied: "It's not life-threatening."
Ouyang Yun looked at Ding Yi's face with a consistent expression and said, "Old Ding, help me pull out the needle. Well, thank you."
Ding nodded, brushed his hands over his body, and then, miraculously, all those steel needles disappeared.
Ouyang Yun stood up, took the clothes from Liu Zheliang and put them on, and asked, "Where are we?"
Ye Zhao replied: "Yangzhou."
Ouyang Yun was startled: "Yangzhou, then I've been in coma for a few days."
"Three days."
"Three days, holy shit, are there any troops coming over from Pukou?"
"The Third Division and the Tenth Division have passed, Commander, here is an urgent telegram from the committee." After Ye Zhao finished speaking, he handed him a telegram,
However, this message requested the Xuebing Army to dispatch a division to Wuhu, Anhui.
Ouyang Yun was temporarily confused, and something in his memory came to mind. He asked: "Wuhu, why did you let us go to Wuhu? How is the war going now?"
The faces of everyone present dimmed, and Ye Zhao said: "Commander, I'm afraid Nanjing is no longer safe. According to statistics in the past few days, the Central Army has lost six divisions, and the Sichuan Army has already lost six divisions of troops supported by various places. It has been dispersed. The Northeastern Army is now in Nanjing. The Japanese 18th Division has occupied Zhenjiang and is currently heading upstream along the river embankment. Commander, I estimate that the target of this unit is Wuhu. Once Wuhu is occupied, we will retreat westward. The road is blocked..."
"What about Yangzhou? Are there any Japanese troops around us?"
"Yes, the 11th Division and the Yamada Detachment of the 13th Division."
"Then has our army had contact with these two Japanese armies now?"
"The reconnaissance troops had exchanged fire. We were originally planning to move towards Pukou in the early morning. There is no doubt that the target of these two Japanese armies is also Pukou. My idea is that instead of wasting the Japanese army in Yangzhou, it is better to go to Pukou to integrate all the troops and the Japanese army. Let’s start a decisive battle, and I don’t know which troops to send there in Wuhu.”
"Tenth Division, please immediately send a telegram to Zhang Meixin. The entire army will immediately set off towards Wuhu. Tell him that no matter what method is used, Wuhu must be defended. Well, at least for a month."
