Under the suppression of the intensive fire of the tank battalion and armored vehicles of the independent brigade, the devil cavalry and tank armored units that came to reinforce suffered heavy losses and had no ability to pursue at all.

At that time, the 23rd Infantry Wing and other devil troops had not yet caught up, and under such circumstances, the devil cavalry and tank troops, who had suffered heavy losses, could only watch Xu Wen retreat from their baggage camp with the attacking troops to the southwest.

Soon, Xu Wen and the others successfully withdrew to the side of the steel bridge, Xu Wen ordered the three air defense combat vehicles left behind before to be on guard, and he himself commanded the Tiger tank, which took the lead on the bridge and withdrew to the opposite bank.

After all the vehicles were successfully withdrawn to the west bank of the Yangliu River, the devil's pursuit force also arrived, and Xu Wen saw that it was too late to take back the steel bridge, so he ordered by radio: "All the tanks fire together and blow up the steel bridge!" ”

With his order, a Tiger, a Panther, a T34, a Sherman, fourteen Fours, a total of ten tank fighting vehicles opened fire.

Boom Boom! Under the heavy bombardment of ten tanks, the steel bridge deck and bridge head were severely deformed in an instant.

Especially on the bridge deck in the middle of the bridge, the steel plate on it was blown off, and the debris fell into the water one after another, and finally only the skeleton of the steel structure remained, which was no longer passable.

After the devil cavalry and tanks and a group of infantry arrived, they could only watch Xu Wen and them disappear into the night on the other side and disappear without a trace.

Not long after, Xu Wen and the others withdrew from the steel bridge in the west of Wuxi to the east bank, and also put away the steel bridge.

Then he withdrew from the west gate to the city.

After entering the city, Xu Wen ordered the tank battalion and the air defense battalion to disperse and rest in concealment.

He took Wu Yongqiang and a few other soldiers and quickly returned to the brigade headquarters.

After returning to the brigade headquarters, Xu Wen immediately ordered someone to inform Zhou Weiguo and Chen Zhenglun and let them come back for a meeting.

The attack is over, and Chen Zhenglun and Zhou Weiguo no longer need to command in the south and east of the city.

After the arrangement, Xu Wen sat in the brigade headquarters, took out a pack of cigarettes and lit them, and instructed the system while smoking: "The battle was fierce just now, and I killed a lot of devils with my own hands, why didn't I listen to your explosive tips?" ”

The system replied: "It has detected that the host is fighting fiercely, so the system has automatically delayed the explosive prompt, so as not to affect the host's command of the battle, and if the host does not allow it, you can turn off this function at any time." ”

Xu Wen nodded with a satisfied smile and said, "Allow, allow, of course such an intelligent and humanized function must continue!" ”

"Is the host going to listen to the burst prompt now?" The system asked.

"Well, I'll listen to it and see what I get out of it this time." Xu Wenwei sat down and nodded.

The system immediately began to prompt: "Ding Dong, the host has been detected to have killed a Japanese artillery soldier and exploded a box of anti-infantry mines!" ”

"Ding Dong, the host killed a Japanese lieutenant and exploded five boxes of MG general-purpose machine gun bullets!

Ding Dong, the host killed three Japanese second lieutenants and burst out 300 liters of gasoline! ”

"Ding Dong, the host kills ten Japanese artillery and gets five hundred liters of fuel!"

"Ding Dong, the host kills two Japanese soldiers and gets a thousand liters of gasoline!"

Xu Wen listened to the system's prompt report, and couldn't help but be happy, now he is short of fuel and ammunition.

Although the bullet didn't explode much, the nearly 2,000 liters of oil was indeed a timely rain.

There are also anti-infantry mines, which can be used to fortify the defensive line.

Xu Wen immediately instructed the system to take out all the fuel, ammunition and equipment and put them in the brigade headquarters compound, and then asked Wu Yongqiang to lead people to send the fuel and machine gun ammunition to the tank battalion.

The tank battalion is currently the strongest unit of the independent brigade, and of course gasoline and ammunition are to be supplied to them first!

After getting all this done, Zhou Weiguo and Chen Zhenglun walked into the brigade headquarters from the outside, and when they saw Xu Wen, they immediately saluted forward: "Brother Zhu, brigade commander!" ”

Xu Wen got up to greet him with a smile, took the hands of the two and said, "You don't have to be so polite with me." ”

"Brother Zhu, how is it? I saw that the direction of the devil's position was full of fire, the gunfire was loud, and the fighting was very fierce, if I didn't have to stay at the south gate position, I wanted to rush out with the troops to support you. Zhou Weiguo asked eagerly.

Xu Wen replied with a smile: "Not only did we kill the devil's artillery position, but we also wiped out their baggage wing!" ”

Yes, that's great, I guess Gu Shoufu, this old thing, is about to explode his lungs! ”

Chen Zhenglun also said happily: "Gu Shoufu is angry, that's for sure, it's best to make this old devil angry to death!" However, the enemy has no artillery positions, which is a good thing for us.

Let's see what the little devils do tomorrow! ”

"Hmm!" Xu Wendao: "We still have some anti-infantry mines, go back to defend the country, you send someone to send them to the third regiment in the south of the city, tell the commander of the third regiment to bury it in front of our position at night, and when the devils attack tomorrow morning, give them an appetizer!" ”

"Well, okay, I'll arrange it." Zhou Weiguo nodded and was about to leave.

Xu Wen stopped him: "Wei Guo, wait a minute." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Weiguo stopped and turned around when he heard this.

Xu Wendao: "We can't hold Wuxi for long, Nanjing will soon become a battlefield, you take advantage of the current contact between us and Nanjing, hurry up and find a way to inform your relatives and friends, let them leave as soon as possible." ”

Xu Wenwen wanted to talk about Xiao Ya directly, but the words were changed again, because he had never seen Xiao Ya, and he and Zhou Weiguo had only known each other for a short time, so if he really said this, it would arouse Zhou Weiguo's suspicions.

Zhou Weiguo thought that Zhu Ziming was caring about himself, so he nodded gratefully and said: "Well, Brother Lao Zhu is bothered, I don't have any friends in Nanjing, only one fiancée named Xiao Ya, I will find a way to contact him later." ”

"Well, the goal of the Japanese army in this battle is to capture Nanjing and force the Nationalist Government to submit, Nanjing is no longer safe, notify in advance, the sooner you go, the safer." Xu Wendao.

"Okay, I got it." After Zhou Weiguo left, Xu Wen said to Chen Zhenglun again: "Chief of Staff, I'll go to sleep and rest, I'll leave it to you here, if there is any situation, send someone to inform me in time." ”

"Well, don't worry, I will." Chen Zhenglun happily received the order and said: "You and the brothers of the tank battalion have worked hard tonight, hurry up and rest." ”

……

Japanese command.

Gu Shoufu was furious, and tonight was a very humiliating night for the entire 6th Division, because they watched their artillery wing being wiped out by the armored units of the Independent Brigade.

In addition, even the baggage team was subjected to the seedlings.

Moreover, the two wings of tanks and cavalry that went to reinforce also suffered heavy losses, and now the casualties of the entire 6th Division are almost half, and the most important thing is that the morale has fallen to the bottom, and there is no mental outlook before the war.

ps: It's a bit stuck today, so it's this one, and tomorrow it's three more compensation! Thank you all for your support.
