Chapter 90: Destroying the Withered and Decayed (II)
Chiba Kotaro looked at the Chinese tanks, and the dense and powerful firepower they fired came towards his troops fiercely.
And their own subordinates, under the double blow of their tank artillery fire and vehicle-mounted machine guns, kept screaming and falling in rows, and some people were almost unable to resist under the suppression of this powerful firepower, and there were signs of wanting to turn around and escape, and they were angry on the spot.
Angrily widened, he pulled out his saber and roared, "Resist, resist me!" We, the Imperial Japanese Army, are invincible! ”
"Defeat Nima's invincibility!" It just so happened that Xu Wen got out of the Tiger tank, and was about to manipulate an MG34 general-purpose machine gun on the roof of the car to personally shoot the devil soldiers to accumulate some explosive loot.
From a distance, I saw a devil Dazuo brandishing a saber, yelling hoarsely, and suddenly he was out of breath, holding the vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine gun in his hand and shooting at him.
Da-da-da-da! A tongue of fire burst out from the muzzle of the gun, and a burst of gunfire rang out, and at least seven bullets all hit Chiba Kotaro in the abdomen, only to see Chiba Kotaro scream, and the whole person fell straight backwards.
The system issued a prompt in time: "Ding Dong, the host was detected to have killed a Japanese Osa, and a U-shaped submarine was exposed." ”
"Damn, there's finally a decent outfit." Xu Wen was secretly happy in his heart, with this U-shaped submarine, plus Zhao Shoutian and them, they could form an underwater task force of two submarines.
When needed, Xu Wen will lower the submarine into the water, and the two submarines can attack any important target of the Japanese army by surprise from underwater, and can also be used to save lives when it is critical, such as taking the submarine to escape and retreat.
Xu Wen, who was overjoyed, manipulated the vehicle-mounted machine gun and continued to fire and strafe, and the devils in front of the Tiger tank suddenly fell down in pieces like leeks that had been harvested.
The ensuing explosive prompt also made Xu Wen excited: "Ding Dong, the host killed five Japanese soldiers and burst out 500 liters of gasoline!" ”
"Ding Dong, the host killed seven Japanese privates and burst out a thousand liters of gasoline......!"
Xu Wen set up the MG34 vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine gun like this, and kept strafing and harvesting the heads of the devils and explosive equipment.
And the officers and men of the other independent brigades are also pouring ammunition at the devil with full firepower.
Especially after the more than 1,000 infantry fighters of the reserve regiment joined the battle, the firepower on the side of the independent brigade became more dense and terrifying.
Just imagine, there are hundreds of vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, as well as dozens of tank guns, and the firepower is already very terrifying.
Thousands of Thomson submachine guns and Garand semi-automatic rifles were added, which were automatic firearms that could fire continuously, and the firepower was terrifying, and there were no dead ends.
In this case, the devil on the opposite side can be said to have poured blood mold.
They had never seen such a fierce fire, and under such a dense rain of bullets like locusts, the beaten people flipped on their backs, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
In addition, their wing commander, Chiba Kotaro, was also killed by Xu Wen with a vehicle-mounted machine gun in the chaos, and the entire 102nd Infantry Wing was leaderless and quickly collapsed.
Xu Wen, Zhou Weiguo, Chen Zhenglun and others immediately waved their troops to cover the killing, and directly followed the devil's rout into Jiaxing City.
After entering the city, Xu Wen ordered the more mobile armored vehicles and Humvee military vehicles to step forward and cover the soldiers of the reserve regiment to continue the attack and expand the results of the battle.
The tanks were ordered by Xu Wen to retreat and suppress the formation, providing strong artillery support to their own troops when necessary.
The Independent Brigade entered from the West Gate of Jiaxing, and the main force of the 114th Division entered the city less than half an hour earlier than them, and it was too late to control the whole city and build a defensive line.
At the time when the Independent Brigade routed the rear troops of their 102nd Wing and entered the city in one go, the devils of Ximen were powerless to resist in the face of the powerful offensive firepower composed of dozens of tanks and hundreds of armored vehicles, as well as countless automatic firearms.
It was easily repulsed by the Independent Brigade and captured and controlled the entire West City Gate.
At this time, the commander of the 114th Division, Shigeji Suematsu, and the chief of staff, Saburo Shinoda, had already taken the lead in taking an armored vehicle to withdraw to the center of the city, near the east of the city.
It is safer than the west of the city, where fierce fighting is raging.
As soon as he jumped from under the armored car and was about to command the troops, Shigeharu Suematsu, who was defending the castle, saw a cavalry liaison suddenly hurrying from the front, galloping on horseback.
"Division Commander!" Still far away, the cavalry liaison soldier shouted very anxiously: "Division commander, it's not good, Chiba Dazuo was killed, the 102nd Wing was defeated by the Shina Army, the West Gate has been lost, the Shina Army is chasing and killing all parts of our division in the city, the situation is critical, please ask for urgent tactical guidance!" ”
"What?" Shigeharu Suematsu was taken aback when he heard this, and from Chiba Kotaro to take the initiative to lead the palace, he retreated into Jiaxing first until now, not even half an hour.
An entire infantry wing was defeated by a separate brigade? And the wing captain was also killed outside the city.
The offensive speed and propulsion ability of the independent brigade are too terrifying, right?
The chief of staff next to him, Saburo Shida, reacted quickly, and immediately suggested to Shigeji Suematsu: "General, the Chinese army has entered the city, and it is no longer possible to hold Jiaxing and wait for reinforcements. ”
"I'm gone, what will the troops do?" Shigeharu Suematsu yelled at Saburo Tada.
"General, your safety is more important than the troops! As long as you're there, we can still rebuild the 114th Division. Saburo said anxiously: "Besides, you can hand over the command to the two brigade commanders and let them take the troops to deal with the independent brigade in Jiaxing." ”
"On the other hand, if you have an accident, it will be bad news for the imperial warriors of the entire 114th Division, and it will make the morale of our army fall to the bottom in an instant."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff is right, please evacuate Jiaxing immediately." Another combat staff officer hurriedly chimed in.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shigeharu Suematsu still adopted the advice of Saburo Shida and others, after all, he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Toshio Taniya, Nakajima Imasa and others.
As soon as Shigeharu Suematsu left, the command was handed over to Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama, commander of the 127th Infantry Brigade, and Major General Obaof, commander of the 12th Brigade.
However, these two brigades were forced to retreat to the south and north of Jiaxing respectively because they had been dispersed by the assault troops of the independent brigade, and they were unable to form effective commands and fell into a situation of fighting their own battles.
Xu Wen ordered Zhou Weiguo and Chen Zhenglun to command more than 100 armored vehicles, and the Humvee military vehicles had already prepared the regiment, and they attacked and pursued separately, relying on firepower and armored assault capabilities, and pressed the devils throughout the whole process, and they lost their armor and collapsed.
An entire field division did not even have a chance to fight the Independent Brigade head-on, and was taken down by a series of rapid onslaughts by the Independent Brigade.
In the chaos, the Devil's Engineer Wing, Artillery Wing, and Baggage Wing were successively overtaken by the Independent Brigade due to inconvenient movement, and were defeated and annihilated one after another.
In the end, the other three infantry wings were all killed and wounded, and they fled from Jiaxing County in embarrassment.
Zhou Weiguo and Chen Zhenglun wanted to continue to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, but when they went out of the city to pursue, they were stopped by Xu Wen with a radio: "Stop the pursuit, withdraw immediately, and we will attack Hangzhou!" ”
