It was almost Zhou Weiguo and Li Wu, with their attacking troops with heavy losses, who had just withdrawn to the place where they joined Xu Wen.

The 5th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade deployed by the Japanese army in Suzhou City, more than 150 150mm heavy howitzers were fired one after another.

The effective range of heavy artillery of this caliber is as high as more than ten kilometers, so the entire battlefield in the north of Suzhou is covered by them!

When looking at the cannonballs that flew through the air like flying locusts, Xu Wen said with a miserable face: "It's over, it's going to be a loss to grandma's house now!" ”

Fortunately, the area of the first wave of bombardment by the devil's heavy artillery group was not where Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo were at that time.

It is the position of the air defense regiment behind them, it may be that the Japanese army thinks that Xu Wen and their side have been covered and bombed by the firepower of their own bomber group, and there is no need to waste the firepower of the heavy artillery brigade here.

Therefore, they aimed at the air defense regiment behind Xu Wen and them, after all, the dense anti-aircraft fire of those air defense units caused great losses to the Japanese fighters.

Of course, this is also because the devils don't know Xu Wen's exact location, they must know that Xu Wen was with the attacking troops at that time, and he will definitely not hit the air defense position.

must have poured all the firepower on Xu Wen's side and blew him to pieces.

Boom Boom Boom! A dense group of more than 150 high-explosive grenades smashed down on the positions of the air defense regiments behind.

Suddenly there was an earth-shattering explosion! The shells fired by this 150mm caliber heavy gun weighed more than a dozen kilograms in projectiles alone.

As soon as it is fired, it can cover an area of hundreds of meters, and it is a devastating blow.

One hundred and fifty rounds fell almost all on the head of the air defense regiment of the separate brigade, and the result is predictable.

In the devastating explosion, the independent brigade's mm anti-aircraft guns, along with the soldiers of the air defense regiment operating them, and the military trucks used to tow and carry ammunition not far away, were all ruthlessly destroyed.

Under the wreak of that earth-shattering and violent explosion, not to mention people, even trucks and mm anti-aircraft guns weighing several tons would be torn apart in an instant and disintegrated on the spot.

At that time, the air defense regiment of the independent brigade was going all out to deal with the Japanese fighters in the air, and they were completely defenseless, or this kind of artillery bombardment within the range of the opponent's firepower could not be guarded against at all.

Therefore, the air defense regiment was blown up, and this first round of shelling alone caused more than 10 percent losses to the air defense regiment, and this loss was devastating, whether it was anti-aircraft artillery or anti-aircraft artillery, everything was wiped out.

Even the armored regimental armor and Humvee military vehicles, which were relatively close to the air defense regiment and assisted them in firing at the air, were also hit by enemy artillery fire.

At least dozens of Humvee military vehicles and armoured vehicles were blown up and overturned, killing and wounding the armored soldiers on them.

Looking at this terrifying scene, Xu Wen, Zhou Weiguo, Li Wu and others were all shocked, Xu Wen was shocked that the devil's firepower was really fucking fierce, and Lao Tzu's own troops did not have such fierce firepower.

Zhou Weiguo was the first to react, and immediately took the radio and yelled at Xu Wen: "Big brother, it's not safe here, evacuate quickly!" That's it! How much can be removed! Fast! ”

Only then did Xu Wen come back to his senses, and immediately shouted in a hurry: "Listen to Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou, all of them are there, retreat immediately!" Retreat now! ”

Before his words fell, the driver of the Tiger tank quickly maneuvered the tank, quickly bypassed the anti-aircraft regiment covered by Japanese artillery fire, and urgently withdrew at full speed backwards.

Zhou Weiguo, Li Wu, Wu Yongqiang, Sun Fugui and others also commanded their respective tanks to retreat.

The soldiers of the tank regiment, who were not destroyed by the Japanese poison gas bombs and the bombing of the air force, also drove their tanks and fled with them.

As for the armored infantry on foot, because most of them failed to escape from the diffuse poison gas in time, they were almost wiped out.

Only less than two hundred people managed to escape, hurriedly jumped onto the armored regimental chariots, which were already in disarray, and followed the retreat.

Soon, the Japanese bombers dropped dozens of aerial bombs again, blowing up the place where Xu Wen and the others were staying just now into a sea of fire.

Countless thick smoke and flames rose into the sky, and many armored regimental armored vehicles and Humvee military vehicles that were about to turn around and withdraw were engulfed in the blast wave and destroyed.

On the position of the air defense regiment, a battalion commander ran to the regiment commander Fang Shengli unkempt, and shouted to him full of sorrow: "The regiment commander, the brigade commander and the deputy brigade commander have withdrawn, let's withdraw too!" ”

Fang Shengli looked up at the Japanese planes that were still hovering in the sky, and gritted his teeth and said, "No, let's stay and break the queen!" Keep shooting in the air for me! Fuck that damn Japanese plane! ”

"However, the devil's artillery fire is too fierce, and the brigade commander has already ordered us to retreat on our own!" The battalion commander shouted anxiously.

Fang Shengli looked at the messy battlefield around him, pointed to the anti-aircraft guns and military trucks that were blown up by the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese army, as well as the stumps and broken arms all over the place, and said sadly: "So many brothers have died here, what face do we have to go back alive?" Keep beating me hard! Kill those doggy day Japanese planes! Avenge the Dead Brethren! ”

"Yes!" The battalion commander also looked around, couldn't help but feel sad, and immediately ran to an anti-aircraft gun that had not been destroyed, and continued to fire into the air.

Fang Shengli also personally went into battle, commanded and led the last dozen anti-aircraft guns, and continued to fire.

Boom Boom! Under their stubborn fire, four more Devil fighters who tried to dive were hit by anti-aircraft fire, and the volleys caught fire and exploded, crashing one after another.

However, the swan song of the air defense regiment was limited to this, and soon the 2nd wave of bombardment of the 5th heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army arrived as scheduled.

Another hundred and fifty high-explosive grenades fell from the sky, completely enveloping the entire air defense regiment's position, and countless violent blast waves destroyed everything with the power to swallow them up.

Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo finally escaped with the mobility of tanks and armored vehicles.

And before the Japanese army launched a full-scale counterattack, it withdrew to Wuxi.

According to statistics, the independent brigade lost more than 60 tanks, more than 300 Humvee military vehicles and armored vehicles, as well as all the anti-aircraft guns and military trucks of the air defense regiment.

All officers and men of the air defense regiment, including the regiment commander Fang Shengli, were killed.

The armored regiment also lost more than fifteen hundred soldiers, leaving less than five hundred.

After listening to Zhou Weiguo's statistics, Xu Wen gasped a few times in distress, and only then could he forcibly suppress the anger and sadness in his heart.
