The advantage of the Wei Qing-style assault rifle can only be guaranteed by maintaining a certain distance. Using the Wei Qing-style assault rifle to fight with the bayonet of the little devil's 38 big cover does not give you an advantage. Of course, the Xuebing Army has special weapons for hand-to-hand combat. , broadsword, and in fact, since the 29th Army became famous for its broadsword, the Chinese army has generally promoted this tactic. Even the Sichuan Army, which is famous for its poverty, almost all soldiers have a broadsword. The difference is that their Due to financial problems, the sword is not as sharp as that of other troops.
From the moment the Japanese fighter planes appeared on the battlefield again, the fate of the artillerymen of the Xuebing Army was already doomed.
The reason why Ouyang Yun specifically asked You Hongjun to shoot out the artillery shells as quickly as possible was that he had already been prepared to abandon the artillery division. To put it harshly, he had already decided to rescue the 103rd Division and the 117th Division. At that time, the fate of the gunner was already sealed.
All garrison officers and soldiers with a little bit of military knowledge know this.
Letting division-level artillerymen serve as cannon fodder is such a crazy move and such a sad decision. If there was any way, Ouyang Yun would not do it. Everything is for the sake of making more people more capable. Many people can break out of the Nanjing quagmire. If the artillery units are not put into battle, the tank troops alone can break through the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop. However, as long as Japanese fighter planes appear, the tank troops will definitely become the first round of bombing targets. Once the tank force is destroyed prematurely, and the force is not dominant, it is hard to say whether the rescue force itself can break through, let alone the 103rd Division and the 117th Division. After the artillery division is destroyed, the tanks The division will immediately become the second target to be hit. What is sad is that for the survival of the large army, the tank troops will also be used as cannon fodder to attract Japanese firepower. That is why Ouyang Yun issued that seemingly absurd order. , let all tanks have only one driver, and everyone else should get off.
If the Japanese aircraft group were to deal with the artillery alone, it would not take more than twenty minutes. The reason why the artillery held firm for such a long time was because the air defense force helped them share part of the threat. As early as after being left by Ouyang Yun for face-to-face instructions, , You Hongjun realized that the advanced artillery he led would become a decoy force exuding a huge fragrance. The roar of the Japanese aircraft engine came from the direction of Nanjing, and You Hongjun's heart sank. , There is not much time left for him. Unfortunately, there are still many artillery shells that have not been fired. What a huge waste. He is not afraid of death. In fact, he can command such a large-scale artillery unit to show off the power of thunder. He already felt that his life was worth living. The only thing that made him uneasy was that his soldiers did not realize this. They did not know that their beloved commander had abandoned them. During the march, many of his best friends also talked to him. Joking: "Lao You, you are now a division commander. I heard that the commander just left you to talk. You will definitely be promoted when you return to Guangdong. If there is an artillery force in the city then, don't forget your brothers. "
"I don't have high requirements, just being a company commander is enough."
"That's not too much to ask for. Go to hell, haha."
…
All the artillery was spitting flames at the fastest speed, but the gunners still felt it was too slow. They urged loudly: "Quick, quick, faster. Once all the shells are used up, we can retreat."
He originally wanted to say something, but in the end he could only lower his head to hide his emotions. No one noticed that his eyes were filled with tears at this moment.
The air defense force led by Xue Ming is another cannon fodder force, but the difference is that they have a certain ability to protect themselves, and because of this ability, they will become a priority target for Japanese aircraft. After receiving orders from Ouyang Yun After that, the officers and soldiers of the air defense force established air defense positions around the artillery position. Everyone stood ready. What they wanted in their minds was to be able to defeat a Japanese plane and fulfill the orders issued by the commander excellently. As an air defense force, The supreme commander, Xue Ming's expectation for this battle was not just a Japanese plane.
"There will be artillerymen responsible for the first round of bombing, at least three." He secretly made up his mind.
The existence of artillery is a nightmare for the densely formed Japanese army. Therefore, in the telegram requesting aviation support, Yoshitsugu Yosuke specifically mentioned the threat from the artillery force of the Chinese Army, saying that if the threat could not be clearly understood as soon as possible, this battle would be impossible. There will be defeat but no victory,
The gunners became the targets of the first round of bombing by Japanese planes.
After the Battle of Jiangyin Fortress, the size of the Xuebing Army's air defense force had been greatly reduced, and the tactics adopted by Xue Ming were quite cunning. He divided everyone into two parts, arranged on the left and right of the artillery division, and each part was equipped with three guns. The anti-aircraft guns arranged in a triangle serve as guidance firepower and all use tracer bullets to fire, and a specialized person is responsible for uniformly directing which aircraft to hit.
Xue Ming personally commanded the troops on the left. As he called out the target through the loudspeaker, three anti-aircraft guns opened fire at the same time, and three light chains flashed towards the target Japanese aircraft.
Almost instantly, three anti-aircraft guns fired more than thirty shells at once, none of which hit. However, their mission was to guide. In the next moment, more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns and dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire at the same time. The Japanese plane immediately fired It was blown up,
Despite a good start, in this round of competition between shield and spear, shield is still at a clear disadvantage.
Once Japanese planes began to bomb the air defense positions, the battle took on a one-sided pattern. In the end, with almost all losses, the air defense forces shot down three Japanese planes and damaged one. This was already It was quite an achievement. Xue Ming knew that if it weren't for the fact that the Japanese plane was completely attracted by the gunner's attention at the first moment, with such a small number of troops at his hand, it would have been an outstanding performance to be able to shoot down a fighter plane.
The artillery division was destroyed, and the artillery command group, including You Hongjun, all died for the country. The air defense force suffered heavy casualties. In the end, only about 60 people of the team of more than 500 people survived, including a platoon sent by Ouyang Yun. Xue Ming, who was protected by the guards,
Xue Ming is quite good at air defense. He was a talent who appeared in the air battle of Jiangyin Fortress. Although he himself would rather go to the national disaster with his brothers, how could Ouyang Yun allow him to commit such "personal heroism"? mistake,
The artillery and air defense troops held back the Japanese aircraft for more than 20 minutes as the main force. These more than 20 minutes were too precious for the garrison. Twenty minutes passed, and the Japanese aircraft flew over the battlefield and began to search for them. When they attacked the target in the next round, the Japanese pilots were all dumbfounded. The imperial troops in khaki military uniforms and the Chinese soldiers in camouflage and khaki gray were mixed together. There was me among you, and you among me. It was impossible to line up alone. Come out, this means that when bombing the Chinese people, it will definitely affect our own people.
The Japanese plane hovered over the battlefield for about five minutes before making a choice and diving towards the tank division.
The tank division has fought hard, and there are still more than thirty tanks left. At this moment, these tanks are rushing left and right in the Japanese camp. Wherever they pass, the little Japanese who are unable to escape or try to block the vehicle are crushed into red and white like watermelons.
Although the number of casualties in the tank was only average, the psychological shock it caused to those "bushido" warriors was shocking. Soon, wherever these tanks went, the Japanese in front of them scattered like frightened flies.
run away,
More than thirty tanks were scattered widely, and because of their speed advantage, they completely penetrated the Japanese group. This made targeted bombing by Japanese planes difficult. Only half of these fighters could carry two heavy bombs at the same time.
The heavy bombs they were equipped with were limited, and half of the bombs were wasted, even killing their own people. In the end, all the bombs were dropped, and only eleven tanks were destroyed.
Ouyang Yun paid close attention to the situation of the Japanese aircraft. The Japanese aircraft fleet had just begun to fly away from the battlefield. He immediately changed the combat order: "Everyone is here, change guns, shoot, Qian Guangming, let the remaining tanks assemble and replenish combat crews."
, it’s time to exert force.”
The division-level command units of the garrison are equipped with advanced communication tools such as walkie-talkies, which ensures that Ouyang Yun's orders can be conveyed to all units in a timely manner. In just ten minutes, this order was conveyed to every soldier.
The next moment, the originally sparse gunfire suddenly exploded like beans. Immediately, those little Japanese who were holding the San Ba Gai and still having sex with their bayonets were killed in droves. The battlefield was in a stalemate.
was broken immediately,
"Dudududu." The charge trumpet sounded again, and the loud shouts of killing resounded throughout the battlefield. Wu Keren, who felt that he had been waiting for a long time, finally got the chance to fight back, "
Brothers, kill." Wu Keren waved his pistol and shouted in a hissing voice. Behind him, the wounded soldiers carrying glory bombs looked at their comrades in front of them who suddenly became more alive, and they couldn't help but shed tears.
"We were rescued."
"We won."
"Kill the devils."
Some people are happy, while others are worried. When the aviation force appeared on the battlefield, Yoshizhu Ryosuke saw the dawn of victory and once personally supervised the battle, hoping to take this opportunity to defeat the Chinese army on the opposite side. However, the situation on the battlefield changed so quickly.
In just half an hour, the sound of gunfire suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption. The next moment, he was surprised to find that the Chinese people suddenly burst out with fighting spirit as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
"Hang in there."
"Kill me."
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we need reinforcements."
"General, the 18th Brigade has been defeated."
…
One piece of bad news came one after another. Seeing that the originally thick khaki-colored crowds in front were being washed away and thinned by the camouflage and khaki-colored crowds, Yoshihashi Ryosuke was heartbroken. He knew that this time he would be able to escape safely, and he must be able to escape safely.
There is no way to escape the severe punishment of the military court,
"It's so weird. Why did it happen like this?" He thought about what happened since the war started and was puzzled. Finally, he remembered the two battles he had experienced in Changping and Bagua Pass, and gradually came to an understanding.
, it is not my fault that the battle ended like this, nor that the soldiers were not brave enough, but that the advanced level of the Chinese weapons has far surpassed that of the imperial army. I am unwilling to accept it. I only realized it at this moment. It hurts. The base camp
Those leaders are still dreaming of the second strongest army in the world, Yoshitsune Ryosuke thought, suddenly picked up the command knife that was leaning on the ground, stabbed his abdomen fiercely, and then dragged it along,
"Division commander." "General."... The Japanese around him were shocked and rushed over, but it was already too late.
The look in Yoshihashi Ryosuke's eyes had faded. After Kenji Doihara, the Japanese army once again lost a division commander, and in an extremely humiliating way.
