Chapter 1231: Are They All Rice Buckets

Some officers and men of the dragon unit began to be wounded, but this did not affect the dragon unit to continue to act, the tank began to stop, the tank turret turned, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at the front.

With a "boom", an armor-piercing bullet was fired, and the little devil was destroyed on the spot with just a few bullets fired by a Type 92 heavy machine gun in the distance.

After destroying the Type 92 heavy machine gun, the tank continued to advance, followed by the Dragons.

The Fifth Armored Regiment quickly approached Huaxian, and the bombing just now brought a lot of losses to the Fifth Armored Regiment, so far, 15 of the 60 No. 4 tanks have been destroyed, and 5 of the 18 anti-aircraft guns have also been destroyed.

At present, the Fifth Armored Regiment is less than three kilometers away from the county seat of Huaxian County under the leadership of division commander Fang Chaoqun, and as long as the tanks continue to advance, they will be able to hit the county seat of Huaxian County.

The Japanese 18th Division's Lieutenant General Long Nacheng planned to use aviation to carry out carpet bombing to block the Chinese armored forces and prevent them from continuing their attacks.

It's just that the little devils never dreamed that the Chinese Air Force, which had not appeared for a long time, would appear at this time.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, no, the Shina Air Force has appeared, they shot down six of our bombers, and the bomber units can no longer support us in the war. At present, the armored forces of China have begun to move towards the city, and we are unable to stop the advance of their armored forces for the time being. ”

The chief of staff of the 18th Division came to the division commander Changna Chengyi, he saluted Jiuna Chengyi, and said with a solemn expression.

"What the hell are the aviation units doing, they were actually defeated by the Shina Air Force units, it's really damn it. The 23 Brigade and Regiment were not even blown up in the main position, and if the main position was blown up and anti-tank trenches appeared, they would at least be able to hold off the troops for a while. ”

As soon as Jiunacheng heard that the Chinese armored forces were about to appear under the city, his face was full of annoyance, and he couldn't help but curse fiercely.

According to Gyuna Joichi's previous plan, he was preparing to resist the Chinese troops on the periphery for a period of time, and after the outlying positions were lost, he would immediately blow up the positions, so as to deploy the anti-tank trenches, and then use the anti-tank trenches to stop the Chinese troops, so as to buy himself time to redeploy the city's defenses.

The Japanese army had already set up anti-tank trenches, but in order to give the devil soldiers passage and not let the Chinese troops easily perceive, they covered the anti-tank trenches, with wooden planks and other items on them, and near the anti-tank trenches, the Japanese army set up explosives in advance, as long as the explosives were ignited, the main position would be blown up, and the anti-tank trenches would also appear.

In this way, the Chinese troops could be stopped, but the positions of the 56th Wing were quickly broken through, and these devil soldiers did not have time to ignite the explosives, and the anti-tank trenches did not appear, which allowed the Chinese troops to continue to advance, and at present, the Chinese armored forces were almost coming to the city, how could Jiuna Chengyi not be annoyed.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, now after the bomber bombing, the anti-tank trenches have been destroyed. At the moment we are not able to stop the tank troops, but there are still anti-tank mines in the city that have not been deployed, and these anti-tank mines can be used, but these anti-tank mines will not be able to wait for the Chinese armored forces to enter the city. ”

Chief of Staff Osa's eyes turned towards Jiuna City, and he said with a serious expression on his face.

"Deploy anti-tank mines immediately, and at the same time report our situation here to His Excellency the Commander, and ask His Excellency the Commander to give tactical guidance."

Jiuna Cheng stared at the map, and the only thing he could do at the moment was to defend Hua County.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Chief of Staff Osa's immediate salute said.

Guangzhou, in the headquarters of the 21st Army.

Toshiyoshi Ando was generally in a good mood, and the defense of the three strongholds of Foshan, Dongguan, and Huaxian was very successful, and the Chinese troops did not take advantage of it at all.

The 3 aviation units of the 21st Independent Flying Group, the 1st Air Force of the 2nd Dispatch Fleet of the Navy, and the 15th Air Force of the 3rd Combined Air Force also provided timely support to the three strongholds.

Now, after Toshiyoshi Ando communicated on the phone with Kazuichiro Sonobe, the commander of the 11th Army, he asked for aviation support from the 11th Army.

In Ando's view, as long as the 11th Army Aviation bombs the logistical supplies of the Chinese troops, then once the Chinese troops do not have any supplies, it is naturally impossible for them to besiege the three strongholds of Foshan, Dongguan, and Huaxian for a long time, and they will have to retreat sooner or later.

"It's a pity, we don't have enough strength in our hands, if the Fifth Division and the Garrison Mixed Brigade are here, once the Zhina troops are consumed too much in Dongguan and other places, we can completely counterattack them, maybe we can directly annihilate them."

Looking at the map hanging on the wall, Toshikichi Ando couldn't help but say with a sad expression on his face.

In his opinion, the Chinese troops will definitely suffer huge losses in the three outlying strongholds of Dongguan, Huaxian, and Foshan, after all, the Japanese troops are supported by a strong aviation force.

"Your Excellency Commander, as soon as the lieutenant general of the 18th Division sent a telegram from Changnacheng, the 56th Wing of the 23rd Brigade of the Zhina Sun Weiguo Army was completely surrounded and annihilated on the periphery of Huaxian County, and the 21st Independent Flying Team supporting the operation was also attacked by the Zhina Air Force.

Ando Toshikichi was still muttering to himself, he was proud that his deployment of three strongholds on the outskirts of Guangzhou could bring a heavy blow to the Chinese troops, and the chief of staff of the 21st Army walked quickly in front of Ando Toshiyoshi, and he saluted and reported to Ando Toshiyoshi.

"Yaga? What the hell is going on, the Zhina troops have already come to Huaxian County, how did they do it, how did the 18th Division defend it, the outer positions were lost in such a short period of time, are the more than 3,000 people of the 56th Wing all rice buckets? ”

When Ando Rikichi heard the news, an angry expression appeared on his face, and he looked at the chief of staff of the major general with angry eyes, and shouted in an indifferent tone.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese troops have invested armored troops in Huaxian, they are advancing very quickly, the 56th Wing is not capable of counterattacking at all, and the bombers of the 21st Independent Flying Group were originally able to stop the armored forces of China, but the appearance of the Chinese Air Force took them by surprise."

The chief of staff of the major general looked at the commander Toshiyoshi Ando, and he reported with a look of embarrassment.

"The armored troops of China have arrived under Huaxian County, if Huaxian is conquered, will the troops of the 18th Division be able to hold the county seat of Huaxian?"

The commander of the 21st Army, Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, looked at the chief of staff of the major general, and asked with a solemn expression on his face.
