Chapter 1292 All-out rescue

In the face of the Japanese army's fierce tank offensive, An Yi was also very anxious at this time, but Shen Fengdao had not yet led his troops to arrive, and now there were only Lin Yaodong and the thirty-six iron guards equipped with light weapons around him, and there was no bazooka in his hand, no anti-tank anti-tank anti-tank gun, and even the most primitive anti-tank trenches had no time to dig, so he could only use his brains to think of some local ways to destroy the Japanese tanks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In a flash, An Yi suddenly thought of something, rushed to Zhu Hongxun's side eagerly, and said loudly in the rumbling sound of the main guns of the Japanese tanks:

"Division Commander Zhu, please ask the company and platoon commanders of your unit to immediately collect the grenades of the soldiers and tie them together, preferably more than ten at a time, and blast them at close range after the Japanese tanks are forced up! Please remember: when our soldiers are attacking the Japanese tanks, please try to concentrate the rest of the soldiers on light and heavy firepower to suppress the Japanese troops following behind the enemy's tanks. ”

Zhu Hongxun was already frightened by the indestructible protection and unrivaled momentum displayed by the Japanese tanks at this time, and when he heard An Yi's suggestion, he immediately ordered the staff officers around him to give orders according to An Yi's instructions.

In just four or five minutes, the Japanese tanks shortened the distance between them and the 130th Division, and they rushed to the 130th Division *** Regiment without cover and burst out at the front of the whole team, and the Japanese soldiers behind were howling non-stop, and the Type 38 rifles in their hands continued to aim and shoot, coupled with the Japanese machine gunners and grenadiers who followed the pursuit from time to time to shoot on the ground, and the Japanese tank main guns and machine gun fire were intertwined into a deadly fire net, and the *** officers and soldiers who lay on the ground and had no fortifications to stop them suffered heavy losses.

Finally, the Japanese tanks and the 130th Division *** Regiment came into close contact, like a huge wave hitting the reef, and an earth-shattering sound broke out when they collided.

The light and heavy machine guns arranged in a little later position opened fire in unison, strafing the Japanese troops following behind the tanks, and the Japanese troops who participated in the attack fell in an instant. At the same time, dozens of daredevils raised the cluster grenades that had just been bundled, desperately approached the Japanese tanks, and threw the grenades with the lid open at the Japanese tanks and machine guns.

Although nearly half of the daredevils were killed under the fire of the Japanese tanks and the ghost soldiers who followed behind, the six tanks were finally reimbursed by cluster grenades, and these tanks either had their turrets blown up or their tracks were blown off, and the raging flames on the tank wreckage showed that the Japanese army's proud tank charge tactics were contained by the squadron in the most direct and powerful way.

The hundreds of Japanese troops who followed behind the tanks saw that they had lost their weapons of attack and wisely chose to retreat.

At this time, Shen Fengdao finally found the location of his division headquarters through the guidance of the regiments of the 130th Division, and the 1,628 elite soldiers of the Military Police Corps led by Colonel Xiao Ruofei became the only card that An Yi could play now.

"Thank you, General Ahn. If you hadn't come up with a way to deal with the Japanese tanks at the critical moment, maybe our division would have been crushed by the Japanese army by this time. I have to continue to lead my troops forward to rescue Paoze, and I will talk about everything after the battle situation stabilizes. At present, there are many crises, General An is concerned about the overall situation, and the matter of charging into battle is still handed over to Bo Ting (Zhu Hongxun), and the general will first return to the south bank of the Liuli River to take command...... The tanks of the Japanese army are too fierce, and our division lost at least 1,000 people in this battle, and it is not yet known how many tanks the Japanese army has invested in Tianjin, and the future is uncertain! Zhu Hongxun said gratefully to An Yi.

An Yi waved his hand: "At this time, how can I retreat?" Don't worry, the Legion Military Police Corps has arrived, you don't have to worry about my safety, now the cannon in front of you is rumbling, shouting and killing are endless, and it is estimated that the departments are in a bitter battle. We have to hurry up and get to the place where the fighting is going to be as soon as possible, or I'm afraid that something will happen in the long run. The Air Force Brethren will soon arrive, and for the time being the Japanese artillery fire will not be able to rage, and we must take advantage of this favorable situation to free our brethren. ”

Zhu Hongxun knew that An Yi had made up his mind and didn't say anything anymore, but from his eyes, he could clearly see complex emotions such as reverence and gratitude.

Zhu Hongxun nodded vigorously, smiled at Shen Fengdao and Xiao Ruofei beside Su Li An Yi, turned around and ordered the troops to continue to advance.

The three divisions of the 53rd Army were all two-brigade establishments, each division had about 12,000 men, and one regiment had about 1,500 men. In the previous battle with the Japanese army, almost half of the *** regiment directly under the division that took the lead was killed, and he had no choice but to hand over the front to the first regiment of Liu Yuanxun's brigade.

The huge contingent moved forward again, encountering many small Japanese blocking forces, but it quickly collapsed under the attack of the 130th Division and the fearless death. Occasionally, the Japanese army used abandoned trenches and hidden bunkers to set up blocking positions, in order to seize the time, but also to warm up, Shen Fengdao ordered the guards to rush forward, raise the bazooka and aim at the target, and solve the problem with one shell, the soldiers of the 130th Division were dumbfounded, and they didn't know what a sharp weapon this was.

Shawo Village is located on the west side of the Jinpu Railway, surrounded by canals on three sides, and the waterway transportation is developed.

Now surrounded by the Japanese army in Shawo Village is the 116th Division of Zhou Fucheng of the 53rd Army. Because the 116th Division was the first unit of the 53rd Army to be put into the north bank of the Liuli River, it suffered huge losses in the storm, and the exposure to the scorching sun led to serious attrition, and when it reached the southern suburbs of Tianjin, only half of the men were actually left, and everyone was wounded. The Japanese heavy artillery attack and tank attack, the 116th Division was almost instantly disabled, and the rest of the division, under the leadership of the division commander Zhou Fucheng, quickly retreated south, but when retreating to Shawo Village, it was surrounded by the enemy's roundabout troops, and then a hard battle began.

The Japanese first asked the rear heavy artillery to bombard the village, and then used tanks to take the lead and cover the infantry charge. Fortunately, the village of Shawo is strategically located, surrounded by water on three sides, and the west side of the town is also connected to the canal by a ditch, and the 116th and 91st Divisions had suffered heavy casualties during the previous attack, and now it was the turn of the Japanese army to thwart the attack.

In order to prevent the Japanese tanks, the 116th Division laid a large number of mines at the main intersections, concentrating the remaining firepower on the roads, so that the Japanese sappers could not clear the mines. After two tanks hit mines and exploded, the Japanese temporarily slowed down their offensive and waited for the arrival of follow-up troops to attack again.

The reinforcements of the 130th Division came just right, blocking the twelve tanks at the south entrance of Shawo Village and the Japanese troops close to a brigade were attacked by the enemy, and immediately divided a part to continue to *** the village entrance, and then gathered troops to carry out a surprise attack on the unstable reinforcements.

When the Japanese army was 400 meters away from the squadron, a puff of black smoke came out from behind the buttocks of the tanks, which shook violently, and the speed suddenly accelerated.

Seeing this, the Japanese troops behind accelerated their speed, but as soon as they rushed out of a few dozen meters away, the 130th Division concentrated all its mortars and began to shoot, and the shells fell into the enemy group one after another, and the dozens of devil soldiers who rushed to the front were immediately blown up to pieces. A mortar bomb landed on the top cover of a tank, and a dazzling spark came out, but the tank remained unscathed and moved on.

The Japanese troops who followed behind let out a burst of cheers, sped up their speed, and went on a rampage with the tanks.

The light and heavy machine guns of the 130th Division began to fire, and dozens of devil soldiers who rushed to the left and right sides of the tank were knocked flying by the bullets fired by the heavy machine guns, and floated backwards several meters away before falling! The rest of the Japanese did not dare to show off again, and all of them cowered behind the tanks and continued to charge.

At this time, the bazooka of An Yi's guards was ready, and in the sound of An Yi's loud "launch", twelve rockets dragged a long tail flame and rushed straight towards the Japanese tank, and in the violent explosion, the armor of the Japanese tank more than ten millimeters thick was opened a big hole, and the blazing high temperature quickly detonated the tank's shells, causing a more violent explosion. Twelve tanks were hit at the same time, and without exception they became scrap metal emitting high temperatures, and the bazooka won a resounding victory in the first battle with the Japanese tanks.

I don't understand what shells the tank was hit, the Japanese army panicked for a short time, but quickly stabilized their position under the reprimand of the devil officer, most of the officers and soldiers lay on the spot, first with rifles and machine guns, trying to suppress the firepower of the squadron, and then the grenadiers and mortars went into battle together, and rushed at the squadron is a burst of random bombardment.

Xiao Ruofei saw that the troops in front of the 130th Division were suppressed by the Japanese firepower and couldn't raise their heads, so he was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again, and finally simply asked An Yi to fight:

"Commander, please let me take the troops up and make a sudden, *** fucking little ***!"

Xiao Ruofei is a student of the ninth phase of Baoding Military Academy, after graduating in 21 years, he studied at the Army University, and after returning to China, he joined Wu Peifu, who has the ambition of dominating the world, and did not want Wu Peifu to lose in the Great War of Zhifeng, and then lost to the Northern Expeditionary Army, Xiao Ruofei's future is bleak. After the confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and Ninghan, three Whampoa Military Academies appeared in Guangzhou, Wuhan, and Nanjing, and Nanjing was in urgent need of military instructors, so Xiao Ruofei was able to enter the Nanjing Whampoa Military Academy to teach. Before the Central Plains War, Xiao Ruofei, who was unwilling to spend his youth in teaching, asked for transfer to Shangfeng, and Zhang Zhizhong gave the 16th Division, which was then headed by Yin Jinan, as the commander of the battalion of the major. Later, the Syrian Non-commissioned Officer School was established, and talents were drawn from various departments to form an instructor corps, and Xiao Ruofei was selected again, and it was not until 36 years that he left the non-commissioned officer school and became the lieutenant colonel of the 17th Army Military Police Corps. After the restoration of the Fifth Legion, Xiao Ruofei continued to serve as the head of the Military Police Regiment directly under the Legion, but his rank was raised by one level.

An Yi was also very anxious at this time, seeing that Xiao Ruofei took the initiative to ask for battle, he immediately agreed, asking to break through the Japanese army's resistance as soon as possible and rescue the 116th Division trapped in Shawo Village, and then he had to continue to move forward to find the 91st Division and Miyagi's *** Brigade. In order to strengthen the firepower of the military police regiment, An Yi also specially ordered the guards to follow Xiao Ruofei with bazookas, and strive to crush the will of the Japanese army in the shortest possible time.

Xiao Ruofei lived up to his high expectations, more than 20 general-purpose machine guns weaved firepower, instantly cleared the Japanese officers and soldiers around the crooked machine guns, at the same time, the mortars destroyed more than 10 Japanese mortars and more than 20 grenadiers with great accuracy, and then the whole regiment charged, the machine guns continued to spray out flames, so that the 38 cover that had to be re-bolted after a shot could not resist at all, and finally paid the price of more than 40 casualties, it broke through the Japanese battle line and was hit The team was so brave that the terrified ghost soldiers fled in all directions.

An Yi's eyes lit up, this Xiao Ruofei fought cleanly and neatly, never dragged mud and water, if he cultivated it well, he might not become a general.

The Japanese troops blocking the south entrance of Shawo Village were affected by the collapse of the main force and dispersed, and then the Japanese troops at the north entrance of the village also took the initiative to retreat.

The general colonel of the 116th Division in the village had already observed the fierce battle in the south through a telescope, and after the Japanese retreated, Zhou Fucheng immediately took two brigade commanders and the division and brigade general to welcome him out of the village.

"Do you know where the 91st Division and the *** Brigade are surrounded?" An Yi asked straight to the point as soon as they met.

Zhou Fucheng pointed to the northeast: "The 91st Division should be blocked by the Japanese army in Dongjia Village, and the location of the *** brigade is not clear, but I believe that it will not be too far from the 91st Division." After capturing the Japanese army's riverside defense line, we went north along the Jingpu Railway, and after crossing the canal and capturing Shawo Village, we quickly assigned our main attack direction, our 116th Division was responsible for the left road, the 91st Division was responsible for the frontal main attack, and the *** Brigade was responsible for the right road, and at the same time shouldered the responsibility of coordinating with the 40th Army. When we reached the outskirts of Tianjin, the Japanese artillery fire came so hard and rapid that we quickly lost contact. ”

An Yi nodded, stopped and listened for a while, the artillery sound in the northeast was still very urgent, and it was obvious that the Japanese army had mobilized all the heavy artillery and was attacking here with all their might.

At this time, the roar of the train suddenly sounded, Zhu Hongxun turned his head to take a look, and said with relief: "The army commander has also sent his beloved ironclad car out to support, I hope Zhanhai and his ninety-first division can hold on, otherwise it will ......."

An Yi said loudly: "Don't worry, we should believe in our robes, now the Japanese army's almost crazy artillery fire proves that they are still resisting, what we have to do now is to get close to them as quickly as possible!" ”

Zhu Hongxun and Zhou Fucheng briefly discussed and decided that Zhou Fucheng would withdraw with the wounded and sick first, and the remaining more than 1,000 officers and men of the 116th Division who still had combat strength would form a regiment and temporarily garrison Shawo Village to ensure the smooth return of various units.

"Look, northeast sky!"

Shen Fengdao reminded loudly, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a dense crowd of fighter planes overwhelmingly swooping over Tianjin, and with a slight adjustment, they rushed towards the Japanese heavy artillery position that was shelling, and a huge roar sounded one after another when the bombs exploded. I don't know why, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fire seems to have weakened a lot, and the strength of the air *** is slightly insufficient, but even so, in just a few minutes, four Chinese fighters were still shot down.

At the same time, Wan Fulin's ironclad car had already traveled to the south bank of the canal, and used the 240-mm train guns ordered from France to bombard the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army in Tianjin, and the entire city of Tianjin was shrouded in smoke.
