Chapter 68: The Hunting Lions
"Tick Tick" The loud trumpet reverberated across the battlefield of slaughter, and countless warriors shouted and pounced on their enemies!
Seeing with his own eyes that the mobile detachment led by Junzao tore the devil to pieces, Huang Sanpao and Jin Feilong, who were no novices on the battlefield for a long time, didn't know what to do now? Order the trumpeter to blow the trumpet and lead all the troops under his command to start the charge! Strike while the iron is hot, and strive to completely defeat this devil in one go!
The two battalions, which protruded to the left and right flanks, pressed in unison towards the center after the trumpet of the charge was blown, and the main forces of the two regiments attacked forward from the front. The Devil's transport squadron, artillery squadron, and wing headquarters are all behind the offensive sequence of the infantry brigade. These troops are slow to turn, and indirectly become a plug. The Chinese army launched a general offensive from three sides, coupled with the rampage of the mobile detachment in the middle, and these thousands of devils on the battlefield suddenly became a mess.
The Japanese troops of the 4th Division were all soldiers who had been trained for several years and were real veterans. In a conventional war, the combat effectiveness of these devils is still good, otherwise Commander Anan would not dare to send such a division to fight the main attack. It's just that neither Commander Anami or Osa Tachibana Takebei of the 37th Wing could have imagined that they would encounter such a situation one day, which is really difficult to deal with!
"After the Eighth Brigade was broken, the wing turned in place and advanced to the west!" After observing the battlefield for a few minutes, Tachibana immediately soberly judged that the situation on the battlefield was unfavorable to his side. As an excellent wing commander, Tachibana Takebei immediately gave the order for the whole army to turn around and attack the rear!
Each brigade of the Japanese army was equipped with a wireless telephone, and Tachibana Osa's orders were quickly transmitted to each brigade, and then to the squadron and squad through the wireless telephone. In a very short time, the soldiers of the 37th Wing knew the order of the Wing Commander to retreat.
Because Tachibana Takebei judged correctly and gave orders in a timely manner, coupled with the fact that he himself was in charge of the rear team, the artillery, transport team, wing headquarters and other troops with limited mobility of the 37th Wing were given the opportunity to turn in advance, and the devils pulled the cork from the mouth of the bottle themselves.
In the end, he was well-trained, and the retreat was also orderly and orderly. First there was a brigade to open the way, then an artillery squadron, then a wing headquarters, then a transport brigade, a communications squadron, an infantry brigade. Groups of devil soldiers retreated from the encirclement of our army, and they saw that the devils were about to retreat!
Gao Quanfei designed this big formation with such great effort, and personally participated in the charge with a tank, how could he let the devil run so easily? Regarding the name of the Fourth Division, Commander Gao has heard about it for a long time, and it has been several years since he participated in the Anti-Japanese War, and he has never had the opportunity to see it, which is quite a pity. I finally met it today, how could he be willing not to get some benefits from these devils?
No matter how tightly the formation is arranged, it is unlikely that the battle will always remain the same. After the charge just now, the medium tank, which was originally lined up behind three light tanks, involuntarily took on the main force of the battle due to its strong horsepower and strong lethality. After waiting for this, the devil began to retreat, Gao Quan looked around, and he realized that there were no other tanks in front of his tank, and the military seat had rushed to the front of the entire mobile detachment!
"One-one, you're running too fast! Run too fast! The anxious roar of the mobile detachment leader came from the car radio, and the golden tiger was about to go crazy!
"Two, three, and four follow, let's go to the flock!" After Gao Quan shouted to the radio, he ordered the driver to slow down a little and let the light chariots behind him follow, and then the four chariots formed a column and accelerated to rush forward.
Now there is no need to use machine guns to clear the way, and there is always a smooth road ahead where the tanks pass. When the devils saw that the tanks were coming, they moved out of the way. Gao Quan commanded his tank to drive all the way forward, as smooth as a racing car galloping on a racing track.
"Quick, artillery squads, transport squadrons, machine gun squadrons keep up!" Kobayashi Shaozo anxiously urged his troops. Ten minutes have passed since the retreat order under Dazuo, and from the binoculars, you can see that the pace of retreat of the Seventh Brigade in front of you is getting faster and faster.
Could it be that after Dazuo broke off the Eighth Brigade, his own unit would stay and fight to the death with thousands of Chinese soldiers? It is to fight, and it is also the whole wing to concentrate its forces to fight the opponent together, how can any wing withdraw, leaving only the eighth brigade to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese? Kobayashi Taro will not be dazzled by Tachibana Warrior's order, attacking backwards is retreating, as a senior officer of the Fourth Division, he understands.
"Report Shaozuo, the tanks of the Chinese army were found in front of our army!" A young herald next to him suddenly ran over and reported such news to Shao Zuo.
"Tanks? Order the second squadron to go around from the side! "Even if you have a tank, you can't stop, you are waiting to die if you stop here! Kobayashi Shaozuo pushed the herald, "Go!" Give Nobuo Ikeda an order to go around from the side! ”
"Hey!" The herald said yes and ran away.
Kobayashi Taro watched the herald run away, the anxious look on his face eased, and when he turned his head, he was suddenly furious again, "Why hasn't the artillery team moved yet?" Ichiro Sato, if your artillery doesn't move within two minutes, I'll order you to disembowelment immediately, do you understand? ”
A mobile detachment of arrows, consisting of a tank and three light tanks, drove forward at a speed of twenty kilometers per hour, followed closely by a convoy of bicycles and trucks, and encountered no large-scale Japanese resistance along the way, except for sporadic bullets. Bypassing the devil brigade, the mobile detachment gradually crossed this devil team, and there were more devils in front.
Gao Quan suddenly had a feeling that the mobile detachment was like a pack of lions on the African savannah, and the devils seemed to have become a herd of migrating antelopes at this time. The antelope herd is running wildly, and the lions are interspersed and hunting, but the antelope herd in front of you is not only not more numerous than the lion herd, but even the speed does not seem to be as fast as the lion herd.
Seeing that the front seemed to be the junction of the two armies of the devil, Gao Quan ordered the tank gunners to fire at the empty block!
"Boom!" A shell was fired and exploded. The devils who were moving forward were startled, two or three were killed on the spot, and the rest quickly hid on both sides. The light tanks and the tanks of Gao Quan, which followed behind, lined up, and the four barrels fired a second round of shells at the same time. In the louder explosion, a burst of gunpowder smoke rose up that was much louder than just now, and now the devils did not dare to approach this way.
