Chapter 364 A hundred tanks bombarded the temple Uchi
Sun Chenghai immediately reported the situation at Hankou Station to Li Lei.
Li Lei immediately told the three regiments of the New 1st Brigade about the situation, and asked them to pay attention to the fact that the Japanese tanks participating in the battle of Wuchang were their own people, and they should not be injured by mistake.
At the same time, Li Lei ordered Sun Chenghai to divide the tank into three parts.
Part of it supported the Independent Regiment, some of it supported the 2nd Independent Regiment, and the rest of the part attacked from the west.
Don't want more than 100 tanks to rush directly to Wuchang.
Tanks need the protection of infantry, and it is easy to suffer losses if you only care about the tank rushing.
Soon, more than 100 tanks were divided into three parts, and the two parts advanced towards the left and right sides of Wuchang to join the Independent Regiment and the 2nd Independent Regiment.
The remaining part, together with Sun Chenghai's two battalions, launched an attack on Wuchang.
Li Yunlong, who received the news, was covered.
We got our hands on the Japanese tanks so quickly? It was a bit of a surprise, but at the same time it was exciting.
Because the independent regiment did not have tanks, the attack on Wuchang was relatively slow.
The crisis of mortars is much smaller than that of tanks, and many walls simply cannot be broken.
When the Japanese army engaged in street fighting, they often defended some sturdy houses, and the mortars hit them, but they could not penetrate the walls, and the intensity of the attack on the Japanese troops was insufficient.
When the tank comes, it's different, and with one shot, no matter how thick the wall is, a big hole can be punched.
Some Japanese strongholds with weak defenses could be lifted off with a single shot.
Forty tanks quickly rumbled over, and Li Yunlong was dizzy when he saw it.
Others are faint blood, Li Yunlong is faint tank.
Forty tanks, just lined up there, full of momentum.
Li Yunlong jumped on a tank and immediately ordered the troops to attack as a whole!
Under the cover of tanks, the advance of the separate regiment suddenly accelerated.
When encountering a Japanese stronghold, it was directly hit with a single shot, and there was no need for troops to rush up at all.
It was the first time that Li Yunlong had this feeling of crushing the Japanese army, and he didn't need to say any tactics and tactics at all, he just killed him.
Only when you are in a weak position is you strategic.
In the case of absolute strength, it is directly rushing.
Dozens of tanks rumbled into their guns, and everywhere they went, the Japanese were bombed into the sky by shells.
The same situation arose in the 2nd Separate Regiment.
Liu Yuan was not as arrogant as Li Yunlong in the war, and he moved forward steadily.
Even after the tanks came, Liu Yuan also attached great importance to the cooperation between the infantry and the tanks, and fought impressively.
Soon, the new 1st Brigade surrounded the 2nd Division in Wuchang from four directions.
Isamu Terauchi was already desperate, and he sat in the headquarters in a daze, not knowing what to do next.
Now the 2nd Division is completely hopeless.
The headquarters of the 2nd Division was in a very sturdy building.
The building is said to be a warehouse, but there is nothing in it.
Inside the headquarters, the sound of artillery could be heard getting closer.
A thought appeared in the mind of Terauchi Yong, or, surrender?
He glanced at the people in the command with a pair of small eyes, and found that everyone was deep in thought, and had no intention of fighting at all.
Baga ......
They're thinking about it too.
Sure enough, not everyone wants to die.
Terauchi Yong straightened his clothes and said heavily: "Everyone, in order to keep the second division, we must surrender." ”
As soon as the words of Yong Terauchi came out, the hearts of all the devils were immediately happy.
If you surrender, if you surrender, you don't have to die.
Terauchi Yong is the commander of the division, and since he said to surrender, the others naturally have no opinion.
So soon, a white flag was hung upstairs in the headquarters of the Second Division.
Li Yunlong was playing Zhenghuan, and suddenly saw a white flag hanging on a western-style building in front of him, and he was very puzzled.
He picked up the binoculars and looked at it, yes, it was the white flag.
The devil surrendered?
He shook his head, could there be a fraud?
Li Yunlong thought for a moment and patted the lid of the tank: "Knock down that white flag for Lao Tzu and see how the devil reacts?" ”
The muzzle of the tank was immediately aimed at the place where the white flag was, and it was a cannon bang.
The shells hit it, and the rubble flew around, and a corner of the building was directly hit into a gap.
The command of the 2nd Division shook twice.
Isamu Terauchi was shaken down by a huge shock, and a dog came to eat.
Two teeth were broken by the jump.
Yong Terauchi, who got up from the ground, was very angry, I have hung a white flag, why are you still firing?
Li Yunlong, who was outside, saw that there was no other movement in the building, and directly said to the independent group: "Leave them alone, continue to fight me." The rules of our new brigade are not to accept prisoners. ”
Li Lei set this rule, Li Yunlong unconditionally agreed.
At the beginning, this rule was formulated when Li Lei was the head of the new Third Regiment.
Now that Li Lei is the brigade commander of the new 1st Brigade, this fine tradition has naturally expanded to the new 1st Brigade.
Surrender?
There are no doors!
Burning, killing and looting on our land, surrendering and saving your life if you can't fight it, where is there such a good thing?
The Chinese have an old saying, blood debts are paid in blood!
So Li Yunlong didn't care about it at all.
Continue to rush forward with the Separate Regiment.
Dozens of tanks bombarded the small building in front of them.
It's almost all about to break through that little building.
At this time, Li Da's ability and Liu Yuan's troops also came over.
Li Da asked Li Yunlong curiously: "Head Li, you hit such a small building so hard, what's wrong?" ”
Li Yunlong sighed: "There is a group of devils here who actually raised a white flag and surrendered." It's angry when you look at it, so let the tank shoot a few more shots. ”
That's right, Li Da nodded competently.
Then my new third regiment will also help.
Li Da immediately transferred the 20 tanks of the New Third Regiment and began shelling as well.
Liu Yuan saw that my Second Independent Regiment now has forty tanks.
So there was such a strange scene.
Almost 100 tanks surrounded a small three-story concrete building and opened fire violently.
More than 100 artillery shots were fired before the fire ceased.
The three-story building staggered, full of holes, and then with a bang, it turned into a pile of rubble.
The dust raised was more than a dozen feet high.
Li Da came over: "Captain Li, are there many devils here?" ”
Li Yunlong said with a big grin: "Who knows, whatever, it's right to fight anyway." ”
None of the three of them thought that the devil in this was actually the headquarters of the Second Division.
Isamu Terauchi and his command headquarters were directly bombarded by the tank.
The collapsed building directly submerged him and his headquarters.
Isamu Terauchi never imagined that he would die in such a tragic way.
was surrounded by a hundred tanks, and he was the first person in the Japanese army.
After the bombardment of the small building, the three regiments continued to advance.
Now most of Wuchang has been laid, and the last piece of land is the north of Wuchang.
Probably a few more streets.
Sun Chenghai is leading people to fight lively.
Sun Chenghai's style of play is very similar to Li Yunlong, there is no strategy at all, it is directly a tank bombardment, and then the infantry rushes.
It's a very silly fight.
But the effect was very good, and the Japanese army was powerless to parry the tanks pushed by Sun Chenghai in pieces.
Many of the devil's positions were smashed by tanks before they could fire a few shots.
The soldiers following behind the tank don't have to worry about the devil position in front of them at all, they just need to concentrate on killing the devils rushing out on both sides of the street.
The battle has been fought so far, and there is no suspense about taking Wuchang.
Li Lei ordered the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment to advance to Hankou and Hanyang at once.
Strive to take out the remnants of the devils as soon as possible.
The 2nd Independent Regiment, together with Sun Chenghai's troops, cleared the Japanese army in Wuchang.
Li Lei sent a report to the tiger boy and the head of the New Fourth Army, and reported the situation here.
Now the 33rd Division of the Japanese army is rapidly retreating towards Wuhan.
It's fast.
The commander of the division, Ichiro Ozawahara, received an order to reinforce Wuhan at all costs.
Ichiro Ozawahara's heart is very bitter.
Now his 33rd Division has lost more than half.
In Hunan, he was surrounded and fought by the troops of several armies of the Tiger Boy, and although he withdrew, the losses were not small.
Now behind the 33rd Division, Tiger Boy's troops are still in hot pursuit, looking like they want to kill him.
made Ichiro Ozawahara very depressed.
Now the 2nd Division in Wuhan has not been heard from for a long time.
This gave him a bad feeling.
The second division, it won't be killed, right?
Ichiro Ozawahara reported his speculation to Anan Yuki, and suggested that his troops bypass Wuhan and advance directly to Huoshan.
In this way, it was possible to preserve the strength and wait until the troops were replenished before attacking Wuhan and Changsha.
But Anan soon sent a telegram rebuking him for his suggestion.
He ordered his 33rd Division to rush to Wuhan and, together with the 2nd Division, to repel the enemy's attack.
Yaga!
When Ichiro Ozawahara saw the contents of the telegram, he almost turned his back on it in anger.
The current 33rd Division, it's hard to say self-preservation, and they still want me to guard Wuhan, Anan Weiji's brain, was it taken away by pigs?
Behind me, there are several tiger boys!
And Ichiro Ozawahara is very sure that the troops of the tiger cub behind him will only be more than the original.
Ozawahara Ichiro knew very well that as soon as his 33rd Division retreated, the 106th Division would not last long at all.
When Tiger Boy killed the 106th Division, he would immediately be able to free up his hands to attack his 33rd Division.
Now to defend Wuhan, it is purely to attract the firepower of the tiger cub.
There is no possibility of winning at all.
There are more than 200,000 people in the ninth war zone of Tiger Boy, and even if there are heavy losses, there are still more than 100,000 people.
However, his 33rd Division, which was already understaffed, fought so hard this time that it lost more than half of its troops. There aren't many people at all.
His chief of staff counted that at present, the 33rd Division, which can move, is only more than 10,000 people.
If the wounded are removed, there are only 7,000 people.
Seven thousand people guarded Wuhan, what about kidding?
