It turned out that after the 71st Regiment rushed into the airfield, when eliminating the firing point of the devils defending the airfield, it inadvertently captured an anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine gun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The power of the anti-aircraft machine gun was naturally not trivial, and the firing points arranged by the devils around the airport were immediately directly torn apart by the bullets fired by the anti-aircraft machine guns. As for the devils who were hit by anti-aircraft machine guns, many of them were beaten and broken at the waist.

Seeing the tremendous power of the antiaircraft machine guns, these fighters naturally became even more excited, and the muzzles of the guns continued to strafe at the devils in the distance and even the moving planes, beating the entire airport to the ground.

The fighters operating the machine guns were fighting vigorously when they heard their comrades on the side shouting: "Quick, the devil's plane is coming." ”

Hearing that the devil's plane was coming, several fighters immediately clumsily moved the long barrel of their guns, and when they saw that the plane was about to dive towards the hotly fought airport in the blink of an eye, they immediately fired at the plane as much as they could.

With the cheering of the anti-aircraft machine guns, the bullets flew into the sky like a meteor shower.

The devil who was bent on revenge didn't expect an anti-aircraft machine gun to be aimed at him, and at this time, he was strangled by a bullet, and the plane lost control, and he couldn't help but panic.

It's a pity that at this time, he is neither high nor high from the ground, but it is not low or low, there is no condition for parachuting, jumping from the air, there is no chance of survival, his face is full of sweat, desperately pulling up the plane, trying to find a place to make a forced landing.

But by this time it was too late, and the plane flew past the flaming watchtower on the side of the airport, and planted itself in the distant wilderness, turning into a ball of fire.

Gao Weiheng saw that the entire Japanese field airfield, except for the fifteen planes that had hurriedly lifted into the air and fled, the rest of the planes had all turned into fireballs, took a look at them with satisfaction, and immediately gave the order to retreat.

At this time, the battalion in charge of blocking the attack also went crazy and exchanged fire with the Japanese troops who came out of the city to reinforce them.

Just when the 72nd Regiment began to retreat, the 65th Regiment of the New Fourth Army, which was attacking Yanguan Town, tore a hole in the south of Yanguan Town, and the troops entered Yanguan Town.

After receiving the order of the commander of the Gui Xue Corps, the commander of the first battalion had to order the mortars that followed the action to be quickly set up on the spot, and then carried out a rapid bombardment towards the warehouse of the devil's logistics supply base.

However, it may be that the artillery shells fired by the first battalion only hit one of the ammunition depots of the devils, causing a martyrdom and directly destroying a small ammunition depot, and the rest of the shells either blew up to the warehouse where the devil's food was stored, or hit the warehouse where the clothes and other materials were stored.

The commander of the first battalion, seeing that the mortar unit had finished firing the shells, immediately ordered the troops to quickly withdraw from the town.

At this time, the devils who rushed to Yanguan Town had already caught fire with the second and third battalions of the 65th Regiment.

Gui Xuebing glanced at the Yanguan logistics supply base with a little regret, and then ordered the whole regiment to withdraw to the east according to the predetermined plan.

When Gui Xuebing and Gao Weiheng commanded the troops to withdraw from the battle, the battle in Wukang City was also nearing its end.

The 64th Regiment pierced the eastern gate with cannonballs, so that the devils had to pay attention to the east, and at this moment, the 71st Regiment on the western side suddenly launched a fierce offensive and forced out of the city gate in a blink of an eye.

The devils and puppet troops defending the city saw the ferocious offensive of the New Fourth Army, so they had to resist desperately. At this moment, more than a hundred devils suddenly ran up the city wall, and the devils guarding the city thought that they were coming with their own reinforcements, and just wanted to cheer, who would have thought that these companions who rushed up, but suddenly raised the guns in their hands, and the bullets immediately hit the devils and puppet troops defending the city.

At this time, the leader of the Japanese squadron guarding the west gate realized that it was not his own reinforcements that came up, but the New Fourth Army disguised as imperial soldiers.

It's just a pity that it's too late.

In the blink of an eye, those devils who defended the city were eliminated by the reconnaissance team, and as for those puppet troops, when they saw that the situation was not right, all those who could slip away slipped away, and those who couldn't slip away raised their hands and surrendered.

The 71st Regiment, with the cooperation of the divisional reconnaissance brigade, took the West Gate in a blink of an eye, and then the three battalions of the whole regiment entered from the West Gate.

The west gate was taken by the 71st Regiment for less than ten minutes, and the 64th Regiment also entered the city from the east gate.

The city gate was breached, and Futian was met with the inevitable fate of destruction.

At four o'clock in the morning, the 64th, 66th, and 71st regiments of the Independent Division, under the command of Hao Mengxuan and Tong Guijie, finally took the county seat of Wukang, and the Futian Wing stationed in the county seat was completely wiped out, and even the flag of the wing was taken away by the New Fourth Army.

The United Wing Flag fell into the hands of the New Fourth Army, which meant that the Futian United was directly erased.

However, after the troops cleaned up the battlefield, considering that the devil planes would come to bomb after dawn, Hao Mengxuan and Tong Guijie discussed, but one battalion of troops was left in the city to maintain order, and the rest of the troops were all withdrawn outside the city.

Of course, all the seized materials were also moved out of the county, and as for the more than 30 wounded soldiers, Hao Mengxuan still showed kindness this time, and ordered dozens of puppet soldiers to carry them and go directly out of the city.

Although in Tong Guijie's opinion, these devils are innocent, but since the division commander was in eastern Anhui, he was inspired by an exchange of prisoners with the devils.

Since these devil wounded soldiers have fallen into their own hands, they have to squeeze some oil out of the devils.

Liu Tianshu learned that Wukang City had been taken, and the heart he had been carrying was finally let go.

Subsequently, he received a telegram from Gao Weiheng and Gui Xuebing, knowing that the 72nd Regiment had made a sneak attack on the Devil's Airport and achieved great results, not only destroying more than 10 planes, but also killing more than 10 Devil pilots.

The devil's plane was still second, especially the dozen or so pilots, but it was a great victory.

You know, it is not an easy task to train a pilot, especially an air force pilot with rich combat experience, who is a treasure among treasures.

The Japanese army in Central China lost more than a dozen pilots at once, and it was enough for this old devil to feel distressed for a while.

Liu Tianshu's guess was really good, and when Tazawa learned that fourteen pilots had unfortunately died in the attack of the New Fourth Army, he was so angry that he dropped two cups in a row.

By the next morning, everything seemed to be calm again, and the plane sent by the devil rushed to Wukang, but in addition to seeing the blackened city wall burned by the war, there was no trace of the New Fourth Army, and Sancheng, the commander of the 22nd Division, received a letter from the New Fourth Army, warning him not to retaliate against the Chinese people, otherwise, the New Fourth Army would cancel the treatment of wounded Japanese prisoners of war who fell into his hands.

Although these soldiers fell into the hands of the New Fourth Army, it was a shame for the imperial soldiers, but thinking that Liu Tianshu was a master who could do anything, the Japanese army still did not bomb Wukang County in the end.

But at noon, the New Fourth Army suddenly attacked Xiaqiaoji and wiped out all the Japanese brigades guarding there.

All of a sudden, the area around western Zhejiang was disturbed by the independent division of the New Fourth Army, and the Japanese puppet soldiers guarding various small strongholds were panicked, which eventually led to some unimportant strongholds having to be abandoned in embarrassment.

Seeing the failure of his plan to encircle and suppress the independent division, Duo Ze was very angry, he thought about it, and forcibly drew the strength of a division from Shanghai, and quickly drove to eastern Zhejiang to strengthen the defense force of Hangzhou, and at the same time ordered the 22nd Division to ensure the safety of Hangzhou and be responsible for the logistics and transportation line of the 144th Division.

Because, the time has come for the planned siege of the third theater of operations by the base camp.

Just when Liu Tianshu ordered the new 7th Brigade and the 21st Brigade to rest and prepare for the Japanese army's retaliation, Sun Xuexuan hurriedly walked in.

"Division commander, after receiving the latest information, the 142nd Division suddenly moved westward and has joined up with the Japanese army in Guangde, and the Japanese army attacking Paradise Ridge from Guangde has also retreated to Guangde."

Hearing Sun Xuexuan's words, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but be stunned.

Could it be that the Japanese army is really going to deal with the third theater of operations this time? Otherwise, how could the 142nd Division give up Changxing and go directly to Guangde.

Just when he was suspicious, a staff officer walked in, looked at Liu Tianshu and said: "Division commander, the reconnaissance brigade has sent an urgent telegram, and the Japanese 144th Division has launched a surprise attack on the position of the Central Army stationed in Yu Qian. ”

After a while, the news of the Japanese army attacking Xuanzhou in the south of Wuhu also came.

Jiang Jinyong looked at the telegram, his face was solemn, and after a while, he looked at Liu Tianshu and said, "Tianshu, it seems that you guessed it, the devil has attacked the third war zone." ”

By the afternoon, the situation was basically clear, and the Japanese army concentrated the 142nd, 144th, 15th, and 17th divisions and a Jiangchuan detachment and launched a fierce attack on the troops of the Third Theater stationed on the front line of Jiangxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Fujian. 、

The Third Theater was taken by surprise, Xuanzhou, Yutian, Suhe, and others fell to the enemy one after another, and the troops belonging to the Third Theater continued to retreat, and in the blink of an eye, they were driven to the southeast of Jiangxi and the northwest of Fujian.

Liu Tianshu did not expect that more than 100,000 troops in the Third War Zone would be defeated and retreated by the Japanese army, and for a while, he was dumbfounded.

The military headquarters attached great importance to the Japanese army's onslaught in attacking the Third Theater, and even the Yan'an side sent telegrams to the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army on many occasions to give new instructions on the new situation that was about to emerge.

Fortunately, the central authorities, considering that the troops of the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan were not enough to contain the Japanese army, did not order the independent division and the sixth division of the New Fourth Army to take the initiative to attack the devils, but only ordered them to choose a favorable opportunity to attack the enemy and strengthen themselves.

Chairman Chiang of Chongqing did not expect that so many troops in the Third Theater would be beaten back by the devils, and in a telegram he scolded the Commander's Department of the Third Theater, but everything was of no avail.

Fortunately, the Japanese army drove the troops of the Third Theater to the south for 200 kilometers and stopped the pursuit after leaving the rich areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Because at this time, the second battle of Changsha, which the Japanese army had been planning for a long time, was about to begin. (To be continued.) )
