The recalcitrant devils are constantly divided and surrounded, and they are eliminated at designated points, and there are fewer and fewer of them, and the surrender momentum of the puppet army is also getting bigger and bigger. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info not only the troops of the Independent Brigade are capturing prisoners, but the troops of the Eighth Cavalry Division are also gaining a lot, and the galloping of the cavalry is also an irresistible blow to the puppet army.

But the gunfire continued, and it continued to move south.

Masao Yamashima hastily gathered more than 500 devils and more than 300 puppet troops to break through to Huaiyuan along the way they came, with the remaining two tanks as the vanguard, and the devils on the verge of desperation behind them. They burst out with incredible energy and used their usual tactics: dense frontals, narrow ranges, high impact velocity, and great impact momentum.

The attacking vanguard of the Japanese army was an elite veteran. They were well-trained, fearless of death, shouting "squad, squad", and struck and rushed forward.

The attacking troops of the 2nd Regiment of the 8th Cavalry Division were caught off guard, although they did not retreat, but fought stubbornly. But under the strong impact of the devils, mortars, machine guns, and grenades did not seem to work, as if a few stones were thrown into the flood, and there was no reaction at all.

The Japanese devils did not want to die at all, they concentrated their firepower, with machine guns and bayonets, fell in front, continued to attack behind, and even the wounded soldiers struggled and howled and crawled forward.

The focus of the entire battlefield quickly shifted to this desperate breakthrough of the enemy, and the interception was broken through one after another, Ma Bingzhong was very angry, and personally led the troops to carry out flank attacks, blocking, and firing signal flares representing urgent reinforcements. The independent brigade and the units of the 8th Cavalry Division on the battlefield discovered the signal, and those who were able to get out and maneuver rushed forward to support in the direction indicated by the signal flare.

In fact, the enemy's breakthrough seems to be fierce, but it is not as serious as imagined. Of course, it mainly depends on the reaction of the opponent. If you are frightened by the madness of the devil, panic, turn around and flee, it will naturally be a heavy loss. But if you are also not afraid of death and resist stubbornly, it will at least be a lose-lose situation for one.

This is like infantry against cavalry, the infantry battle formation is tough enough to resist the cavalry charge, but if it is scattered, chaotic, and only cares about escaping, then it can only be pursued and killed by the cavalry. In the era of cold weapons, infantry vs. cavalry, heavy casualties were basically caused in the process of defeat.

Therefore, the devil's "Long Live Charge" is also called a "suicide attack", which should be a tactic of killing 1,000 enemies and inflicting 800 self-inflicted losses. It's just that many troops were frightened by this madness that was not afraid of death, and the momentum of this impact. When they lost the will to resist and fled in all directions, they were massacred.

The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 8th Cavalry Division are basically the old foundations of the Northwest, and the supplementary soldiers are almost all infantry of the 3rd Regiment, while Qinghai Jian'er is not afraid of death, and has a similar religious fanaticism and dedication.

Although he was caught off guard and broke through several lines of attack one after another by the devil's crazy breakthrough, the northwest man did not flinch, shot desperately, fought hard, and even did not hesitate to die with the enemy, so that the enemy continued to pay for casualties on the way to break through.

Obviously, Masao Yamashima made another mistake in judgment. He did not expect that the enemy would only be defeated under such a frantic onslaught, and he did not rush more and more smoothly as he thought. On the contrary, the casualties that were constantly paid and the desperate interception were constantly being blocked, so that the forces breaking through the encirclement were constantly reduced, and the momentum of the impact was constantly weakening.

Troops from all sides are rapidly surrounding, blocking the front and adding flank attacks, artillery shells, grenades, machine guns, rifles, cavalry, infantry, blocking and counterattacking, all kinds of firepower, all kinds of troops, all kinds of tactics, more and more striking at the enemy.

In Ding Qing, the devils who broke through were contained. Although they were determined to die, they stormed the defenders' positions like a tidal wave, but they were no longer able to break through the "embankment" here.

In Ding Qing was Ma Biao's division headquarters, as well as a battalion of troops. And the enemy who rushed here was left with less than four hundred devils, and two tanks were also destroyed by steel fists on the way to break through. As crazy as they were, the momentum of the shock was largely depleted.

It was already dark, and although the winter morning came late and there was still a bit of a foggy feeling, the defenders could already see the figure of the devil who rushed to kill.

In the flames of the explosion, Ma Biao saw a Japanese officer, hanging one arm but not less fierce, brandishing a war knife and howling and directing frantically. Behind him, a Japanese soldier held high a blood-stained flag full of bullet holes, leading hundreds of red-eyed, shouting and howling "vicious dogs", forming a strange and frightening picture.

Mortars and machine guns rang out more intensively, and the devils were constantly knocked down by bullets, but the rest continued to charge, and some of the fallen devils were still struggling to crawl forward. The piercing howls were mixed with the sound of gunfire, and it was extremely poignant.

The improvised forward positions were broken through, and the devils and the officers and men of the Eighth Cavalry Division mixed together and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with guns, bayonets, and sabers. Some devils have lost their minds and just want to die as quickly as possible, and kill as many as possible when they die.

The devil with grenades and explosives strapped to his hands let out a howl that was not like a human voice, rushed forward desperately, and before the enemy could shoot, he pulled the grenade or explosive bag and died with his opponent.

The battle was tragic and abnormal, the fighting on the position continued, and a group of devils rushed towards Ding Qing again, wanting to make continuous breakthroughs.

Ma Biao's eyes were red, and he sent a reserve, which was also his guard, and three hundred strong and strong men counterattacked and counterattacked the devil.

After a round of grenade bombardment, hundreds of flower traps spat tongues of fire, breaking through the undispersed gunsmoke, and raining dense bullets poured down on the oncoming devils.

This was the most fatal blow, and the last straw that overwhelmed the madness of the devil. At a distance of less than 100 meters, it is the battlefield where submachine guns can show their might.

The devils with grenades and explosives packs, the devils with machine guns and bayonets, burst out bursts of blood mist under the frantic strafing of melee weapons, and fell down trembling like an electric shock. Some explosives were beaten, blowing the suicide to pieces, and it also affected the surrounding devils.

"Kill, kill the devil!"

"Kill the devil!"

"Kill the devil!"

To the north of Ding Qing, the shouts of the Chinese* army finally overwhelmed the frenzied "squad load", the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the cavalry gathered from all over the battlefield either dismounted and drew guns, or raised their sabers, and launched rounds of cluster attacks.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Ma Bingzhong roared, with only a single coat left on his body, hot steam rising from his head, leading the team to rush and kill.

The cavalry charge was like a tidal wave, drowning the last devil, the saber was swung, the blood splattered, and the screams and wails of the devils were endless, which was not an instinctive reaction that could be ruled out by any strict training.

……………

As soon as the sky was dawning, three planes took off from the Huangkou Township Airport in Yongcheng and flew south.

After all, it was an enemy that surrounded and annihilated five or six thousand, and the battle would definitely be fought until dawn, and if the enemy planes suddenly arrived, the infantry and cavalry on the battlefield would suffer great losses.

Yang Tianfeng also had contradictions, but finally made up his mind to mobilize planes to participate in the war again. Try to avoid casualties among troops and preserve vital forces; Actual combat drills to improve the combat quality of pilots are two considerations; According to intelligence, the devils did not have fighter planes parked at the airports in Xuzhou and Bengbu, and the fact that they had a greater grasp of air combat was also an important reason. The possibility that the Japanese army would have to transfer planes from elsewhere was very unlikely, and it was too late in time.

On the Eagle plane, there is still a pair of Han Zhen and Sun Gang, and their cooperation and coordination have already reached a considerable tacit understanding, even if Gao Fengge is eager to fight, he has to admit this. Of course, he is not without opportunities, but as a last resort, Yang Tianfeng still hopes that this reconnaissance plane can continue to camouflage.

After yesterday's air battle, Han Zhen and Sun Gang had a deeper understanding of the cooperation between the two planes, and after returning home, they studied and discussed with the pilots and determined today's tactics. Now, flying in the air, both of them have a lot of confidence.

"The sun is out." Han Zhen said briefly, and added: "The original plan remains the same. ”

"Understood." Sun Gang also gave a short answer.

Others may not understand it, but this is the tactic that will be adopted today, with your back to the sun and a favorable attacking position.

At that time, since airborne weapons were still limited to machine guns and machine guns, how to occupy a favorable attack position in air combat directly affected the outcome of the battle. Therefore, the pilots of that time liked to turn their backs to the sun and launch attacks on the enemy.

In this way, the angle of the sun is very unfavorable to intercept the enemy planes flying in the direction of Xu and Beng. Therefore, the result of Han Zhen and others' research was that Gao Fengge's reconnaissance plane first entered the sky over the battlefield and acted as the "eyes of the shooter," while he and Sun Gang drove the plane to hover outside the battlefield, waiting for the command to fly north and turn around, occupying a favorable position in the backlight.

The "shooter's eye" tactic is one of the textbooks compiled by Yang Tianfeng, and it was very popular before the advent of advanced electronic target recognition devices and various guided weapons. The essence of this tactic is that an aircraft goes forward thousands of meters or more to act as the "eye" of the formation, responsible for reconnaissance and positioning of targets, and transmitting information to other aircraft in the formation; And the fighters in the back acted as "shooters".

In fact, what Han Zhen and others used was not a "shooter's eye" tactic in the strict sense. According to the textbook, the "shooter's eye" tactic should be completed by three fighters, and the "eye" is also a fighter, and the requirements for the formation are very strict. The fighter acting as the "shooter" should also maintain a stable distance and course with the fighter in front, and at the same time ensure that its airspace in the rear hemisphere is not disturbed in any way, so that both aircraft have sufficient steering space.

Although it is a changing "shooter's eye" tactic, it is still very possible to achieve it in practice. It is still the characteristics of the Trojan aircraft, which can be mixed up, and if it can't be mixed up, it will flee to the fighter and act as a decoy.

"I turned first." The voice of Gao Fengge on the reconnaissance plane came from the earpiece, "The signal remains the same. ”

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

Han Zhen and Sun Gang responded one after another, watching the reconnaissance plane turn around and fly straight in the direction of Longkang Town. Due to the limited communication distance of walkie-talkies, the next contact signal is a pre-agreed and short radio signal.

……………

On the battlefield, the sound of gunfire gradually thinned out, and the large group of enemies was basically eliminated, leaving only small groups and sporadic enemies still resisting.

Hordes of puppet captives were escorted away in frustration and fear, with their hands held high, and severe punishment awaited them, the price they had to pay for the tiger's fight and the suppression of their compatriots.

"Leave a small number of men and horses to search and kill the remnants of the enemy and clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the troops will immediately reorganize and gather, find cover, and pay attention to air defense." Chief of Staff Ma Ren gave orders to the officers, and when he looked up again, he found that the division commander Ma Biao and others had already walked far away.

The tragic battlefield north of Ding Qing was full of dead bodies, some of them were enemies, some were of the Eighth Division, but more were still enemies.

A burst of cheers attracted the attention of Ma Biao and the others, and they walked in quickly.

Several soldiers found a devil officer, and the shrapnel broke him all over blood, his trachea was cut, and puffs of blood foamed from his mouth. Judging from the military rank, Ma Biao and others knew that it should be the supreme commander of the Japanese puppet army this time - Masao Yamashima.

Masao Yamashima is already dying, but he still has a fierce face, constantly purring, and cursing in indistinct Japanese. He also had a strip of white cloth wrapped around his head, on which was written in Japanese: "Serve the country with iron and blood, and be loyal to the emperor." ”

In a flash of cold light, Ma Bingzhong's knife slashed down, and Masao Yamashima's head rolled to the side, spurting a stream of dirty blood from his cavity.

Ma Biao glanced at Ma Bingzhong, the tiger was bandaged on his head and body, and the blood was already wet, and he gently patted Ma Bingzhong's intact arm, Ma Biao turned around and walked away.

was broken through to Ding Qing by the crazy devil and hit the division headquarters, Ma Bingzhong thought that it was the shame of the second regiment and his shame. Although Ma Biao didn't blame him, he held back a fire in his heart. Cutting off Masao Yamashima's head, he was still angry, raised a kick, and kicked the head far away like kicking a ball.

In fact, due to the desperate resistance of the officers and men of the Eighth Cavalry Division, the devil's desperate assault was not much different from the comparison of casualties, and it was even less than the price paid to attack and eliminate such a cluster of devils. But active and passive, the feeling it gives people, and the mood swings it causes, are, of course, completely different.

In the distance, dozens of horsemen and horses galloped towards them. There is no one else in the New Seventh Army who can have such pomp and circumstance except Yang Tianfeng.

Ma Biao was reminded by the person next to him and hurriedly greeted him. And Yang Tianfeng also got off the horse early, walked quickly, and shook Ma Biao's big hand.

The two looked at each other, and no one knew what to say for a while, and they were stunned for a long time, and they couldn't help laughing.

"Thanks to the two hundred flower organs given by Brother Yang, otherwise, the devil will hit my division!" Ma Biao spoke first, and he was sincerely grateful.

"Mistakes, mistakes, blame me for not thinking it through, I didn't expect the devil to come to this trick." Yang Tianfeng apologized again and again, and then praised again, "It's also a loss to a brave division like the Eighth Cavalry Division, and if it is replaced by the New Seventh Army, maybe the devil will stand out."
