Huang Shouxin bent his waist and followed behind the 501 tank driven by Mei Jiuling, while holding a Browning pistol to shoot at both sides, he turned his head and shouted angrily at the officers and soldiers accompanying him: "Keep up, pay close attention to the two wings of the battlefield, don't let the devil's demoman get close, be careful not to show your head, bend over, how do I usually teach you?" Bend over, be sure to bend down! ”

In Huang Shouxin's shouting, the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Battalion who accompanied him bent down one after another. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ahead, the devil soldiers hiding behind the barracks and fortifications are continuing to fire fiercely, and the dazzling tongues of fire are like long whips wielded by death, once they are struck by them, they are flesh and blood flying in an instant, and from time to time there are unlucky officers and soldiers who are swept by the flames and fall to the ground screaming.

However, more officers and soldiers were unscathed, because the huge body of the tank provided excellent cover for the infantry following behind, and most of the tongues of fire that strafed from the devil's position hit the tank, and the bullets collided violently with the tank armor, and the clanging sound was endless.

"Forward, keep going!"

"Bend down, bend down!"

"Watch the wings, don't let the devil's Demoman get close!"

Behind the tank, Huang Shouxin and officers at all levels shouted loudly and reminded the officers and soldiers who followed up.

There were really two devils holding explosives bags and suddenly rushed out of the bunker, trying to blow up the guided tank, but the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Battalion who followed up and protected them were shot and killed indiscriminately.

In less than a moment, more than 200 officers and men of the first company of the Ninth Battalion, under the guidance of five tanks, broke into front of the devil's barracks, and in front of the devil's barracks there was a trench more than two meters wide and one meter deep, and on the inner edge of the trench, a circle of barbed wire with barbs was also enclosed.

For the infantry, such a trench is almost an insurmountable trench, and even if the wolf's tooth troops want to cross such a trench, it will be very difficult, the trench is easy to say, but the circle of barbed wire with barbs is very tricky to deal with.

However, this is just a piece of cake for tanks!

"Nine Ages! Now it's up to your tank company! Huang Shouxin knocked the back wall of the tank twice with the pistol handle, the rear cover opened, Mei Jiuling's head poked out of the back cover, grinned at Huang Shouxin, and then yelled, "Shouxin, just look at it!" ”

After yelling, Mei Jiuling's head retracted into the carriage again.

Immediately afterward, the exhaust port of the 501 tank began to emit black smoke, and then suddenly accelerated, increased the horsepower and rushed to the trench, and in a blink of an eye, the 501 tank had come to the outer edge of the trench, and then the front of the car quickly hung in the air.

However, although the nose of the tank was already suspended, the weight of the tank still helped the tank to maintain its balance, and it did not sink into the trench, and the tracks of the 501 tank continued to run forward, and the length of the suspended body became more and more, and in the end, almost half of the body was suspended in the air.

Then, just when the tank body was about to sink into the trench, the front load wheel of the front of the car had already touched the inner edge of the trench, and with the crawler crushing, the rolling mud and sand poured down, and the front of the 501 tank first sank slightly, and then quickly rose upward, successfully crossing the two-meter-wide trench.

The width of the trench of the Type 95 light tank is two meters, so this is really just a piece of cake.

Immediately afterwards, a second tank also crossed the trenches, followed by a third, a fourth, and a fifth.

After crossing the trenches, the five tanks did not stop, but continued to run forward, and soon ran over the barbed wire, which was more than a man high, and those barbed wire, which were enough to pose a serious threat to the infantry, were useless under the tracks of the tanks.

In a matter of moments, the barbed wire had been crushed into the soft dust by the tank.

At this time, the devil soldiers who had originally held on to the inner edge of the trench had already been repelled by the powerful machine-gun fire of the tank, and Mei Jiuling and the 200 officers and soldiers of the third company of the ninth battalion crossed the trench more than two meters wide and more than one meter deep without much effort, and rushed into the camp of the little devil.

In the chaos, another ghost soldier rushed over with a bundle of explosives and screamed, trying to blow up the 501 car driven by Mei Jiuling, but was shot and killed by Mei Jiuling and the officers and soldiers of the 9th Battalion who followed up and protected, and one of the bullets also hit the explosive bag, which instantly detonated the explosives, and blew the unlucky ghost soldier into countless pieces, and even a complete finger bone could no longer be put together.

The battle was far easier and easier than imagined, and there was almost no real resistance, and the officers and men of the 9th Battalion had already attacked the 170th Wing of the Devil Infantry from the east, west, and south directions under the guidance of the tank company.

Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army has always occupied an absolute superiority in troops, firepower, and weapons on the battlefield.

Therefore, how to face the Chinese army with superior troops, firepower and superior weapons is a completely unfamiliar subject for the Japanese army, if the opposite side is the Kumamoto Division or the Sendai Division, which are known for their good fighting, they may not be defeated in the first battle, but unfortunately, this is the Osaka Division!

These Osaka-born petty traders of the Osaka Division have never been courageous, and the idea of dying for the empire is almost absent in their minds, so when Mei Jiuling's tank company broke through the last and strongest fortification, these Osaka-born petty traders of the 170th Infantry Wing collapsed psychologically.

In the dark, I don't know who took the lead, anyway, in a blink of an eye, almost all the devil soldiers of the 170th Infantry Wing threw down their weapons and turned around and ran, there was no enemy in the north, and all the devil soldiers rushed towards the northern army in the barracks.

"Don't run, give me all back, give me all back!" Koga Taro brandished his saber and roared hoarsely in the face of the crowd of routs, however, his personal efforts alone were no longer enough to reverse the decline of the battlefield, and even a rout soldier suspected Koga Taro of being in his way, and a shoulder collision knocked Koga Taro to the ground, and stepped on his back.

"Yaga!" Koga Taro jumped into a rage, rolled over and tried to get up.

Unfortunately, Koga Taro was only halfway up when another rout came rushing and trampled Koga Taro to the ground, and then another rout stepped on Koga Taro's head, this time hard enough, and the hard cowhide sole directly stepped Koga Taro's head into the ground.

Koga Taro struggled desperately to pull his head out of the soft dirt, but unfortunately, more devils swarmed and stepped on Koga Taro, so until the end, Koga Taro was unable to pull his head out of the dirt.

Koga Taro was also very "honored" to become the first Osa to be trampled to death by his own people on the Sino-Japanese battlefield.

(Dividing Line)

Mei County, at the foot of Qingniu Ridge.

In the distance, wildfires were blazing, and the flames reflected half of the sky and illuminated the entire battlefield as bright as day.

Toshio Miyake blushed and watched as the attacking troops of the 137th Infantry Wing retreated from the bare Qingniuling remnants again, and the defenders on the mountain took advantage of the situation to pursue and knocked down at least a dozen Japanese soldiers, but only to see that the dark hillside was already full of corpses.

The battle on Meixian's side has to start from the night before yesterday.

The night before, the Osaka Division bypassed Pu County and rushed straight to Mei County.

Miyake Toshio originally thought that Meixian must be empty at this time, so he transferred a brigade from the 108th Infantry Wing, plus a squadron of the 8th Tank Wing, to form a rapid assault force, trying to kill the Dameishan Independent Regiment by surprise, and took the Shaqiaogang fortress in one fell swoop with lightning speed.

As long as the Shaqiaogang fortress was taken, Meixian would immediately be like a young woman who had stripped off her clothes, opening her infinitely beautiful carcass to the Osaka Division.

It's a pity that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

The rapid assault force, consisting of a brigade of the 108th Infantry Wing and a squadron of the 8th Tank Wing, failed to take the Shaqiaogang Fortress in the end, and was even heavily shelled by the defenders' fortress artillery group in front of the Shaqiaogang Fortress, resulting in heavy losses.

After this setback, Toshio Miyake suddenly realized that the Dameishan Independent Regiment had been prepared for the surprise attack of the Osaka Division, and even if he dispelled the luck mentality, he began to camp at a position where the left flank of the Shaqiaogang Fortress could not be hit by artillery, and then began to set fire to the mountain.

At this time, it is the middle of winter, and once the mountain fire is lit, it immediately becomes a prairie fire.

After the fire continued to burn for a day and night, the remaining veins of Qingniuling on the left side of Shaqiaogang Fortress had been burned into a bare mountain, not to mention, the mountain fire that had become a prairie fire continued to spread towards the depths of the Qingniuling mountain.

According to the battle plan formulated by Shozo Riverside, the Osaka Division only needs to wait, wait for the fire to continue to spread, and burn the entire primeval forest of Qingniuling, and then, when the military supplies transferred from the base camp are in place, they can launch a general attack on Dameishan.

However, as the old saying goes, plans never change quickly, and the battle plan formulated by Shozo Kawabe was just a battle plan, but there were great deviations in the actual implementation, the biggest of which was that the Kumamoto Division suffered a great setback and failed to advance to the designated area as expected.

The Kumamoto Division not only failed to advance to the designated area, but was even at risk of rout!

This forced Kawabe Shozo to change his plan and order the Osaka Division to attack Meixian in advance, although at this time the Osaka Division's reserve ammunition was running low, and once it could not take Meixian within three days, it would fall into a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food.

However, neither Shozo Kawabe nor Toshio Miyake took this crisis seriously.

Because, the military supplies urgently transferred from the battlefields of western Zhejiang and southern Anhui have arrived in Pukou, and it will only take two days to arrive in Meixian, and Kawabe Shozo and Miyake Toshio have not thought that they have neglected a key point, and they will have to pay the price for the rash advance of the enemy!
