"What? Whole jade shattered? Only a little over 200 people in the infantry brigade were withdrawn? The generals of the army, including Isamu Yokoyama and Fengfumi Yamashita, couldn't help but gasp.

Isamu Yokoyama was extremely shocked, and there was a reason for that. You must know that the 1st Division, known as the Guards Division, is the most elite unit of the Empire, and the 1st Brigade is the most powerful brigade in the 1st Division, in less than an hour, the number of casualties is as high as 1,000, and it has lost its position, if it is not for the 1st Brigade to take the initiative to withdraw, I am afraid that together with the machine gun squadron, the 1st Brigade will also have to be broken!

This shows how strong the combat effectiveness of the reading force on the opposite side is!

At that moment, Fengwen stepped forward and said, "General! I suggested that we should immediately retake the beachhead, and the order given to us by the headquarters was to hold it for a day and a night, and then let the army enter the Wangdu Mountain, so I was willing to lead the chariot brigade to retake the beachhead and drive the people back to the other side of the river.

"To the West! Yamashita-kun! Please! Be careful! The strength of the fighting power of the people of China was beyond my expectations, and the First Infantry Brigade suffered heavy losses, and I should take full responsibility! Order the 2nd Infantry Brigade to assist your counteroffensive! Kill all the people who crossed the river! Isamu Yokoyama said with a stern expression.

"Hay!" Yamashita Fengwen suddenly bowed his head and said.

On the north bank of the Tang River, Zhao Kuohai, the commander of the first regiment and the first battalion, wiped the two clean boxes in his hands with an indifferent expression. Zhao Kuohai, formerly the second lieutenant platoon commander of the 82nd Division of the Central Army, followed Zhang Mingyu to break through in the Battle of Nanjing, and was good at using two guns, with 100 shots and 100 hits within 100 meters.

Known as Zhao Shuanggun.

To be able to climb all the way from an ordinary big-headed soldier to the current lieutenant colonel battalion commander (actually the regiment commander), you can imagine how many baptisms of blood and fire such a person has to experience.

This is exactly the case, Zhao Kuohai and Niu Tiangui and others all followed Zhang Mingyu at the same time, since the breakthrough of Nanjing, they have followed Zhang Mingyu in nearly a hundred battles! There are countless injuries in one body, and the same outstanding combat achievements are almost proportional to the injuries he has made!

This time, as the vanguard of a regiment, in order to seize the position of the army on the north bank and open up the lifeline of the guard battalion, Niu Tiangui immediately sent one of the most elite battalions under his command!

As the commander of the first battalion, Zhao Kuohai led the army to battle!

Sure enough, it lived up to expectations, and in less than an hour, the first battalion successfully seized the position with only three infantry companies, killing and wounding more than 1,000 soldiers, and its own casualties were less than 200, of which less than 100 were killed.

Of course, there is the powerful firepower of artillery, as well as the strong assistance of tank crews. But you must know that their opponent is the first division known as the first elite of the world!

This battle is destined to be the pinnacle showdown between the two [***] teams, one is the first division known as the invincible land battle in Asia! One is a long-term victory division that carries the hopes of countless Chinese people, and the fierce collision between the two is destined to go down in history.

Soon, Zhang Mingyu's prediction really happened, and three green signal flares slowly rose into the air.

Immediately after a round of rapid artillery bombardment sounded, without Zhao Kuohai's greeting, when the devil hit the signal flare and took off into the air, the soldiers who were still indifferent and quiet just now were all lying down or lying in the trench that had just been repaired.

Zhao Kuohai wiped the last twenty rings, and then calmly leaned his back against the trench.

At this moment, a piercing whistle sounded, and a rumbling explosion sounded in Zhao Kuohai's ears.

Shells of different sizes and calibers smashed down on the positions of the first battalion! A series of earth-shaking explosions rang in the ears of the warriors.

The fortifications that had just been hastily repaired were blown to pieces in an instant.

Without waiting for the artillery to end, the two squadrons of devil chariots rumbled towards the position of the first battalion, and at this time, the soldiers who risked their lives to serve as lookouts notified the other fighters of the first battalion of the enemy in a way that only the soldiers could do.

Zhao Kuohai slowly got up, supported the slightly crooked steel helmet on his head, and exposed his head, at this time there was already a rain of bullets flying above his head, and he saw about eight Iron King Eight rumbling towards them.

Followed by a large group of infantry, Zhao Kuohai retracted his head, loaded the two twenty-shot clicker bullets in his hand, and then opened his throat and shouted: "Brothers, prepare to fight!" Push the battle defense cannon up, and get ready to kill the little devil's Iron King Eight! ”

Before the attack, the first battalion was equipped with two 37mm anti-aircraft guns, in order to guard against the thin-skinned tanks of the little devils.

Hearing Zhao Kuohai's order, a herald quickly conveyed the order to open fire to a battalion of artillery on the other side of the river.

The river was only less than thirty meters away, and several artillerymen on the opposite side who had already prepared the battle defense artillery easily received Zhao Kuohai's order.

The sound of two cannon shots sounded, and the two shells pierced the sky and accurately hit the two Type 95 tanks in the front.

"There were two loud bangs, and the thin-skinned tank that was rumbling and fast just now was suddenly hit, and the turret of a tank was blown away, and all the tracks were blown off, and several devil tank soldiers inside died and couldn't die anymore.

Another army tank caught fire, and a ghost soldier came out with fire all over his body, jumping on the ground and screaming and rolling wildly, trying to extinguish the raging fire on his body, but he was already splashed with gasoline all over his body, and he couldn't extinguish the fire on his body at all.

After a while, there was a disgusting smell of burnt meat in the air.

At this moment, the anti-aircraft artillery opened fire one after another, six of the eight Japanese tanks were destroyed, and the remaining two were forced to retreat.

The 2nd Infantry Brigade, which was responsible for the follow-up, was led by the captain and formed a straggler formation in a chaotic formation, speeding up the charge.

For no other reason, the devil commander believes that even if the tank and combat vehicles fail to make a contribution, the artillery fire of the artillery wing just now should have caused some casualties to the people on the position.

The commander of the Chinese army has absolute trust in the quality of his artillery.

Therefore, after the tank tank's attack was thwarted, it still ordered the infantry to charge, with the obvious intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to seize the position.

But it turned out that this time the army was wrong again.

When more than 1,000 devil soldiers rushed to a place less than 200 meters away from the trench with high spirits, and saw that the Guangfu trench was in front of him, the captain of the devil brigade laughed and said: "To the west, the people of China have all died!" Kill Quack! ”

Almost at the same time as the shouts of the captain of the devils. Six heavy machine guns arranged by the first battalion opened fire at the same time, and six dazzling tongues of fire spat out at the same time.

The devils who rushed to the front fell one after another, just like a combine harvester cutting wheat, falling stubble after stubble.

Just after the heavy machine guns took the lead in firing, more than 1,000 guns of various types in the battalion opened fire at the same time, and for a time bullets rained down in front of the position.

More than 20 light machine guns, together with six heavy machine guns, formed a death blockade, blocking the way of the army's advance.

A dense rain of bullets poured out in a fan-shape, and soldiers were falling almost every second.

Seeing his heroic subordinates fall in pieces, the captain of the devil brigade suddenly woke up, and he didn't care about scolding the artillery for being incompetent, so he hurriedly ordered a retreat.

I have to admit that the speed meter of the devil's retreat is still fast, and in the blink of an eye, except for nearly 200 corpses of the army, there is no one in front of the position.

Zhao Kuohai turned the steel helmet on his head, spatted and scolded: "Dog, Xiao Dongyang, let's kill you again!" ”

……………

1st Division Regiment Command.

Yokoyama Yong's face turned blue and roared: "Yaga! Call in aviation and immediately deliver an air fire strike on the China! All dead, dead! ”

About ten minutes later, twelve Zero fighters taking off from the Baoding airfield rushed over the Tang River.

The advantages of the Zero have been fully brought into play this time, and its large bomb load and long range can be used as a fighter jet or as a bomber.

The military calls it an all-round fighter, and this all-round fighter is indeed worthy of its name, and it can bomb and engage in low-altitude combat with enemy aircraft targets, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing the military plane showing off its might on his head, Zhao Kuohai said angrily: "Signal soldier, report to Lao Tzu to the military seat and ask for air force support!" His grandmother's, we also have the Air Force, I'm afraid of a ball. ”

However, before the air force arrived, the twelve Zeros threw their bombs and fired them again, and then began to shake their wings and return home.

Seeing that the military plane was about to run, Zhao Kuohai couldn't help but stand up and roar and scolded: "Dog, don't go!" Don't run away! Wait if you have the ability! Our air force is here to kill you Oriental devils.........! ”

………………….

A regiment of former enemy headquarters.

Niu Tiangui said with a bitter face: "Military seat, it's not a way to go on like this, the little devil is already bombing for the second time, and the second batch of reinforcements of my first battalion has already gone up, and they not only bombed our infantry, but also the sappers who are filling in the river have also been bombed to varying degrees."

The river, which was already half filled, was bombed by devils and turned into fucking ruins. ”

Zhang Mingyu frowned when he heard this, and after a while, Zhang Mingyu smashed his fist on the table of the command headquarters, and said with a firm expression: "Telegraph to Su Dingtian, the first flight regiment and the second flight regiment stationed in Taiyuan; Take off immediately and bomb the 1st Division! Didn't say it, they bombed us, and we bombed them. Anyway, everyone has no anti-aircraft weapons! ”

"Hmmm! Good idea! Fried little devil across the dog. Zhang Biao nodded in agreement.

"But the bombing of the air force is not a long-term solution, and the sappers were ordered to speed up the filling of the river, and the armored division then crossed the river! Attack on Mt. Wangdu and advance to meet the guard battalion! Zhang Mingyu said indifferently.

"Yes!" Zhang Biao and Niu Tiangui responded in unison.

Over the Tang River, nearly 100 planes of the Reading Army rushed to the sky and bombed the defense line of the First Division.

The unlucky Yokoyama Isamu also suffered a shell next to his headquarters, and after the air force of the Reading Force flew away, Yokoyama Isamu crawled out of the ruins, shook off the dust on his head, and saw that Yamashita Fengwen and other generals all came out in ashes, all of them were extremely embarrassed, and couldn't help jumping like thunder, and shouted to the staff officer next to him: "Call for aviation fire support!" Air support! ”
