The island army originally thought that a large number of anti-tank mines planted along the way could block the advance of the first tank, but who knew that the first tank division was equipped with a large number of rolling minesweeper tanks, and the degree of advance was still close to ten kilometers per hour. Bayi Chinese Network ?(1).

They were forced to form death squads with a large number of soldiers, hiding along the railway line with explosives bags and bazookas, and launching suicidal attacks on the pursuing tanks, which bought time for the retreating troops, and in the evening, they crossed the Hansa River at a cost of nearly 30% casualties.

After crossing the river, it was dark, and the island army finally breathed a sigh of relief, the railway bridge had been completely blown up, and the ** tank had to build a bridge to cross the river, plus the current tanks did not have the ability to fight at night, so they were absolutely safe this night, and the 114th Division of the island army dared to sleep comfortably.

After running wild for a day, the iron man can't stand it, let alone these short-legged slaves.

The commander of the 114th Division, Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, is not a general, knowing that the helicopters are not restricted by ground factors, and they did not set up a rest camp by the Hansha River, but retreated a few miles, with the buffer of these miles, even if the helicopter catches up, he is not afraid, without the coordination of the ground troops, and it is a dark night, the ground troops attack the helicopter in mid-air is naturally effortless.

In a military tent deep in the woods, an oil lamp was like a bean, and Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division of the Island Army, and Saburo Isota sat face to face on the ground, looking gloomy.

On a small wooden board in the middle were several open cans of military cans, and there was a bottle of sake next to it, the cans were barely moving, but the bottles had bottomed out, and it seemed that the two of them had drunk a lot.

The division headquarters has several dual-purpose armored vehicles for railways and six places, and those of them who are officers do not have to walk on two legs, so their spirits are not bad.

"Suematsu-kun, did you say the train could pick us up tonight?" Chief of Staff Saburo Isoda broke the silence and said.

Shigeharu Suematsu took a glass of wine and drank it all, and said: "Don't count on it, the air force bombed all the way during the day, the railway was already full of holes, and it was only an hour before it was repaired, and there were tens of thousands of people in front, even if it was called back and forth, it couldn't send many people away, and now it wasn't even a few hours before dawn, and the railway should be paralyzed again during the day, so it couldn't be our turn." ”

Isoda Saburo's eyes dimmed instantly, and he also picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth suddenly, and said faintly after a long time: "Suematsu-kun, we have been partners for more than four years, right?" ”

"Yes, the 114th Division was formed in the twelfth year of Showa (1937) when we were together, and it has been more than four years now, and the first battle we fought there was Nanjing, at that time the locust warriors of my 114th Division were so brave, although we were not the main force, but still rushed into the city of Nanjing, and cooperated with the Sixth Division to annihilate most of the elite of the elite 88th Division in the Yuhuatai area, and then occupied the entire Nanjing, I remember in those three days, Our 114th Division killed tens of thousands of them, rifles, machine guns, and bayonets took turns in battle, and they were killed very well. Shigeharu Suematsu said as he spoke, his eyes became confused, and his face flushed with excitement, as if he was intoxicated with the pleasure of the year.

"Alas!" Isoda Saburo sighed and said: "The Sixth Division that fought with us back then is now gone, tens of thousands of locust warriors and division commander Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro collectively shattered the jade on the little-known Mantou Mountain, and now we are crushed under the pursuit of the army, what is wrong with the locust army, can we still win this 'holy war'?" ”

Shigeharu Suematsu unconsciously glanced at the guards outside the tent when he heard this, and then glared at Saburo Isoda with an angry face, his mouth opened and closed a few times, and after all, he didn't say anything, and the anger on his face slowly distorted into a painful color.

"Boom!"

At this moment, two sudden explosions broke the silence of the night.

The two of them looked at each other, quickly grabbed the command knives beside each other, and quickly rushed out of the tent.

"Hurry up and ask what happened to the front?" As soon as he went out, Shigeharu Suematsu roared wildly, and the herald "Hai" ran away with a bang.

Saburo Isoda said: "The sound should be on the edge of the Hansha River, and it looks like the explosion of an anti-tank mine we planted. ”

Shigeji Suematsu frowned, and said suspiciously: "At this time, their pontoon bridge may have been built, but the tank can't chase it overnight, right?" ”

During this period, because there was no infrared night vision equipment, the tank did not have the ability to fight at night, because the tank could not see the enemy without turning on the lights, and when the lights were turned on, it would expose itself and become the target of the enemy.

But Shigeharu Suematsu probably never dreamed that the new Battle Leopard tank has been equipped with infrared night vision devices, and the tank's night combat capability has been fully realized.

The scouts at the front soon sent back the news that a large number of ** tanks had crossed the Hansha River and were heading towards their camp, and the explosion just now was that the minesweeper tank had run over the anti-tank mine.

Shigeharu Suematsu hurriedly ordered the troops in the rear to enter combat readiness, and the troops in front were ready to meet the enemy, and at this time, he still didn't believe that the ** tank would fight at night, because it was not scientific.

At the same time, his task is to block the rapid advance at all costs and buy time for the retreating troops in the rear, and the task has not been completed, so he does not dare to retreat rashly.

Although the 114th Division is only a type B division, it was formed relatively early, and it is one of the few veteran divisions of the island army, and most of the soldiers are veterans of a hundred battles, so the military department will give them such a difficult task.

But the cruel reality immediately shattered the dream of Shigeharu Suematsu, and in less than ten minutes, news came from the front that the ** tank troops had entered their defense area, machine guns and artillery were like eyes, no matter how secretive the locust army hid and how complete the fortifications were, bullets and shells could be accurately smashed on their heads, the accuracy rate was simply higher than that of the day, they were simply like ghosts in the dark night, and the defense line carefully constructed by the locust army collapsed in an instant and suffered countless casualties.

Shigeharu Suematsu was completely dumbfounded, and it took a long time for him to let out a beastly roar, and then ordered his troops to retreat quickly, this battle was no longer fought, and he didn't know what else to do except flee.
