Zhang Mingyu saw through the binoculars that Zhang Biao and his soldiers had broken through the devil's machine gun position and launched an attack on the devil's bunker turret, and he immediately ordered: "The Tiger Regiment will attack immediately"

After receiving the order, Xu Hu personally drove a T-28 tank towards the north bank, and the tank crews of the Tiger Regiment drove the tanks one after another to rumble towards the north bank.

Zhang Mingyu asked the Tiger Regiment to attack, not to ask them to assist Zhang Biao in breaking through the devil's position in one fell swoop, but he planned to let the first brigade rely on the tank to firmly control the bridgehead, as long as the bridgehead was controlled, it would not be so easy for the devil to blow up the bridge.

The fighters of the first regiment had already crossed the bridgehead and launched an attack on the devil's pillbox and gun tower, the devil's pillbox was set up at a position of about 500 meters away from the bridgehead, and in this 500 meter distance, the devil set up a large number of barricades and barbed wire, and as soon as the soldiers rushed across the bridge, the devil's heavy machine gun began to roar, and tongues of fire flew out of the shooting holes of the pillbox and gun tower.

Just when Zhang Biao was angry about this, the roar of tanks suddenly sounded behind him, and more than 20 T28 tanks roared in, and just drove to the bridgehead and stopped advancing, and began to shell the pillboxes and artillery towers of the devils.

One shell after another shot rose into the air like a fireball, roaring and smashing towards the devil's bunkers, turrets and bunkers, some unsturdy bunkers were directly hit, and the devils and puppet soldiers hiding inside were blown into a mass of minced flesh, and the dirty blood mixed with the soil was sent into the sky by the air generated by the shells, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

Chiba Taro saw through the command post with a telescope that the Reader's chariots were swarming and shelling his bunker group fiercely, Chiba Taro was furious: "Immediately send a telegram to the commander and ask for air force fire support to destroy the chariots of the Shina people!" ”

The Tiger Regiment was bombarding the devil's position, and the whole position was filled with gunsmoke and dust, and the infantry took advantage of the situation to jump up and attack the devil's position with a shout.

However, the artillery fire of the tank regiment failed to destroy the Devil's bunker, and as soon as the soldiers stood up, they were strafed by the fire of the Devil's machine-gun pillbox, and they were shot and fell to the ground.

After more than ten minutes of fierce attack, it still failed to effectively suppress the machine gun fire in the devil's bunker, at this time there was the roar of the aircraft engine in the distance, Zhang Biao ordered a retreat, and the soldiers began to retreat in turn, and more than a dozen fighters and bombers of the devil flew over the Yellow River crossing from far and near, and the air defense soldiers who were arranged by Zhang Mingyu on the south bank immediately opened fire, and the two sides launched an extremely fierce ground-to-air battle, and the devil's plane kept strafing downwards in an attempt to suppress the fire of the air defense soldiers.

The air defense troops fought bravely and fiercely returned fire at the plane in the sky, and soon a devil plane was hit by intensive anti-aircraft fire, and exploded in volley on the spot, and the wreckage of the plane fell into the boiling Yellow River on fire.

The battle in the sky was extremely fierce, and after the army on the ground received the support of the air force, Chiba Taro immediately sent a squadron of devils and two battalions of puppet troops to try to take advantage of the situation to counterattack and recapture the bridgehead in one fell swoop.

They let those puppet Mongolian troops in front and launched a pursuit towards the retreating reading division, but these puppet troops had just rushed out more than 200 meters away, and the machine guns on more than a dozen medium-sized tanks responsible for the broken rear roared at the same time, and the puppet troops who rushed to the front fell in pieces, and the remaining puppet troops hurriedly lay on the ground, no matter how the devils behind scolded, they did not dare to charge again, at this time, the 37mm muzzle of the tank spit out fireballs again, and the tank shells fell in the crowd of devils behind them.

After suppressing the pursuers of the devils and the puppet army, the ten tanks slowly reversed backwards, and at this time, the 2nd and 3rd regiments of the 1st Brigade had already built three defensive lines made of sandbags and mud at the bridgehead, and the soldiers retreated to the defensive line to defend on the spot, and the tanks were placed on the periphery of the defensive line.

At this time, three of the devil's fighters had already been shot down, and the other bombers dropped bombs indiscriminately, and they hurried back in fright.

Although the devil planes were driven away, the air defense troops also paid a heavy price this time, because in this blocking battle, in order to protect the Yellow River Bridge and the soldiers of the tank regiment and the 1st Brigade guarding the bridgehead from being bombed by the planes of the Japanese army, all the officers and men of the air defense regiment deployed antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft machine guns along the river.

The casualties are much greater than in the past, and it is still to be fortunate that most of the planes of the Devil's Army have been transferred to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, and the North China Army has very few planes that can provide air support for it, and if the Army can mobilize 100 bombers to bomb the Yellow River Bridge at this time, it will be impossible for an air defense regiment to resist it at all.

Zhang Mingyu is now going to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the army is going all out to attack Wuhan, and lead the reading division to quickly sweep the army in Inner Mongolia and even the Chahar region, take the opportunity to expand the territory, and then accumulate strength and lead 100,000 elite divisions to sweep North China!

At this time, it was the top priority of the Reading Division to capture the Yellow River crossing as soon as possible, as long as the Yellow River crossing was captured, the Reading Division immediately waved his army north to capture Baotou Datongdi.

At this time, the military plane had fled, and Chiba Taro also ordered the military turtle to retreat back to the pillbox and turret, trying to resist stubbornly with the strong bunker and turret.

Zhang Mingyu said to Tie Niu: "Immediately summon the commanders of all brigades and regiments to come to the division headquarters for a meeting. ”

Iron Bull saluted, then turned and walked out of the headquarters.

A moment later, Zhang Biao, commander of the First Brigade, Lai San, commander of the Second Brigade, Ling Tianbao, commander of the Third Brigade, and the military commanders of all directly subordinate regiments and battalions all arrived.

Zhang Mingyu said directly to the point: "Do you have any good solutions?" We must capture the crossing of the Yellow River as soon as possible, and then move our army north to counterattack Suiyuan and other places.

As soon as Zhang Mingyu said this, Lai San and the others started to talk about it, and Lai San first stood up and said: "Master, let me take the third brigade up, my third brigade can take the south bank and the north bank!" ”

Zhang Mingyu shook his head and said: "The south bank is not as good as the north bank, the pillboxes and turrets of the devils on the north bank are ten times larger than those on the south bank, and there are also a large number of trenches, which our tanks cannot pass. ”

Xu Sanduo, the commander of the engineer battalion, stood up and said: "Division, our engineer battalion can fill in those trenches, so that our tanks can pass smoothly!" ”

"That won't work, now let you sappers fill the trenches, which is equivalent to shooting targets for devils." Zhang Biao replied.

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "Brigade Commander Zhang is right! Only by taking the devil's bunker first can the trench be filled! ”

"Division, can't we use heavy artillery to kill the devil's bunkers and turrets?" Ling Tianbao asked.

"Heavy artillery can destroy the enemy's turret, but if you want to destroy the enemy's bunker, it is a little difficult, the devil's bunker is all made of reinforced concrete, and it is difficult for our heavy artillery to destroy it directly!" Zhang Mingyu replied. In fact, Zhang Mingyu did not want to use heavy artillery, and there was another reason, that is, there were not many heavy artillery shells left, and there were almost no shells left in the captured army, and at this time, the arsenal had not been able to produce shells of this caliber, after all, the equipment of the Yue type was very different from the Soviet and German types.

Lai San muttered: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Shizuo, you just let me take my brother to try it once, I don't believe that I can't attack the dog's small bunker." ”

"A strong attack is definitely not possible, the first brigade has already tried it in the morning." Zhang Biao said.

Zhang Mingyu thought for a while and said, "I have a way now." ”

"What's the solution?" The crowd asked.

"We can't attack it now, mainly because the enemy's bunkers from the bridgehead to the enemy's bunkers are under enemy fire, but if we shorten this attack distance, then our infantry can quickly rush up and destroy the devils in the bunker with explosives packs, so that we can break through the devils' bunkers and turrets one by one!" Zhang Mingyu replied.

"What does the division mean to move forward by digging in the ground?" Zhang Biao was the first to react and said.

Zhang Mingyu smiled and nodded. At this time, Wang Tiehan said: "But if we attack by digging up, will the devil's plane bomb us?" ”

"Don't be afraid of this, the little devil's plane is scared, they dare to come again, Lao Tzu is rewarding him with a few shells!" Sun Dali said loudly.

"Good! The air defense regiment is on alert at any time to prevent the devil planes from bombing, and the first brigade is holding the bridgehead, and if the devils dare to come out to counterattack, the tiger regiment rushes out to destroy them. Zhang Mingyu said.

"Division, our second brigade will be the main attacker of this earth excavation attack! We promise to get the job done! Ling Tianbao stood up and pleaded with Zhang Mingyu.

"No problem! But you must dig the tunnel for Lao Tzu before dawn tomorrow in front of the devil's bunker, and launch a general attack early tomorrow morning, and strive to seize the position on the north bank of the Yellow River in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Ling Tianbao stood up and said loudly.

Zhang Mingyu explained again: "Remember that the pit must be dug narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, not a straight line!" ”

"Rest assured! My 2nd Brigade definitely completed the mission on time! Ling Tianbao saluted again.
