Chapter 272: Classic Battle Examples

The forward troops of the 16th Division were bombarded by howitzers, and they could barely maintain a battle formation, but as soon as the soldiers of the 3rd Mixed Brigade retreated, they immediately fell into chaos, and the Chinese troops behind them were in hot pursuit, and a panic quickly spread, although the commander desperately shouted for impeachment, but the army's morale was confused, and the soldiers resisted a little, and joined the ranks of fleeing.

The weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard were M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles and Thomson submachine guns, and Browning light machine guns.

The officers and men of the 130th Division had never had any experience in fighting with the Japanese army, but they had more or less heard of the strength of the Japanese army, and while they were pursuing, they were secretly surprised in their hearts, saying how powerful the Japanese were, and they could not imagine that they were so vulnerable. The morale of the soldiers was high, and the more they fought, everyone scrambled to be the first, and the roar of the rousing shouts shook the sky, echoing over the empty plain.

Chen Yong, a junior at Yenching University, was assigned to the tank unit and became a tank commander after joining the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard.

The M3 tank is not a good tank, it has relatively weak armor, a crew of up to seven people, and it is extremely crowded, but it has the advantage of high firepower and has two guns. Under the command of Chen Yong, the partners worked together to continuously bomb the Japanese targets in the distance, although sometimes they did not hit the target, but the panic effect caused by the explosion of the shells was very obvious. Dozens of tanks went on a rampage and fired non-stop, providing strong support for the infantry, so that the already chaotic Japanese army had no fighting spirit, and only blindly retreated, completely unorganized and effective resistance.

In the middle of the division's marching ranks, he held up a telescope, only to see that his forward troops had been broken by the tide of Chinese troops, and were retreating in a hurry. ''Which unit is at the vanguard?''

''Your Excellency, General, it's Ichiro Koizumi's wing. ''The chief of staff, Mitsuo Nakazawa, who was next to him, replied.

''Baga, this coward, I'm going to kill him with my own hands.'' Zhong Zao and Jin Chao breathed fire without a look, and said through gritted teeth.

"Your Excellency, General, I believe that it is imperative to take urgent measures to reverse the present unfavourable situation. Nakazawa said anxiously.

In the early morning, there was no gloomy face, and he shouted loudly; ''I ordered, and the troops immediately organized their soldiers to defend on the spot. ‘’

"Your Excellency, a large part of our artillery fire has been blown up, and some have been damaged, and the Chinese army is at its peak, so let's avoid its peak for the time being, and think about it in the long run." ''Mio Nakazawa said anxiously.

Zhong Zao and Jin Chao glared at Nakazawa Sanfu fiercely, with a fierce momentum in his eyes, and shouted; ''Immediately carry out the order, whoever dares to run away and disturb the morale of the army will be killed.'' ‘’

Cold sweat poured down Nakazawa's face, and he said in fear; ''Hay, Your Excellency General. ‘’

The military order is like a mountain, under the reprimand of the commander, the Japanese soldiers quickly dispersed, formed a fan-shaped defensive formation on the great plain, the soldiers who retreated in front of them joined the defense one after another, in the early and early days of the dynasty without a cold expression, holding a telescope, only to see the open front in the distance, their own retreating troops and the Chinese army following and chasing are intertwined, on the left and right, there are two forces wearing dark red uniforms, as if two huge red clouds, quickly swallowing their troops, dozens of tanks pierced left and right, such as into a no-man's landThe weapons in the hands of the soldiers turned out to be M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles and Thomson submachine guns and Browning light machine guns, and the 38 big covers in the hands of their own soldiers almost became burning sticks, and they had no power to fight back.

Who the hell are they? Why are there such advanced weapons? In the early morning, there was no change of color on his face, and he couldn't figure it out, but suddenly his mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly changed color in shock, isn't this the legendary Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard with a large number of US military equipment? How did they end up here? Haven't their tanks already been wiped out by the Imperial Air Force? Didn't the intelligence department say that they were going to Zhengzhou?

The muscles on his face twitched suddenly, and he scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the intelligence department in his heart, and was about to call the signal corps to call the aviation brigade to provide air support, when suddenly his scalp exploded, and in the telescope, he saw that countless black dots suddenly appeared in the gray sky in the distance, and he flew quickly and unabsolutely, looking at the trajectory of the parabola, the target was the fan-shaped defensive position he had just formed.

''Shells, shells for howitzers. As soon as his words fell, countless huge cannonballs fell on his carefully arranged fan-shaped defensive position, accompanied by a huge explosion, a cloud of red light rose into the sky, fragments of steel and the stumps of soldiers flew in the air, and the scorching air wave knocked him to the ground.

''Your Excellency, are you alright?'' Mitsuo Nakazawa stumbled over and ran over lightly, quickly helping the depressed Nakazao to be gone.

In the early days, there was no expression of pain, his heart was bleeding, and he said gloomily; ''Let's retreat alternately, move quickly, and don't let the retreating soldiers disrupt the formation of our large army.'' ‘’

On the vast plain of eastern Henan, countless Japanese soldiers were killed, dead bodies were everywhere, the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, wafting over the battlefield, the wind could not disperse, however, the killing continued, the shouts of the soldiers resounded in the sky, the guns were loud, and the cannons rumbled.

The range of the howitzer is eleven kilometers, and the troops retreated quickly, Zhuo Wei and the others threw away the phone and joined the ranks of chasing and destroying the Japanese army, they have completed the task excellently, and the result is perfect.

The battle began in the morning, the soldiers of the Chinese army forgot about hunger and fatigue, and fought until the evening, the Japanese army lost their armor all the way, abandoned countless heavy weapons and ammunition vehicles, until they retreated to the Xianghe River in Yuxian County, only to rely on the blocking of the river to stabilize the formation, hold the only bridge of the Xianghe, and the pursuing Chinese army across the bank, the two sides ping-pong each other.

Situ Ming and Zhuo Wei gathered together, quickly gathered their troops, and the soldiers returned to their respective formations, and after discussion, the two decided to stop the attack for the time being, given that the soldiers were exhausted and had not eaten for a day. At this time, the three commanders of the 130th Division came in a hurry and saluted Situ Ming, and a regiment commander named Xue Wen said excitedly; ''Master Situ, we have a really good fight, your weapons are so good, it's really amazing.'' ‘’

Situ Ming said with a smile; "Commander Xue, you're not bad, let's collect the troops, report to the higher-ups, and request the next move." ‘’

''Okay, sir, then we'll see you back, and when we get to Shangqiu, we'll invite you to dinner.'' Xue Wen saluted again and strutted away.

Zhuo Wei glanced at Situ Ming and said with a smile; ''You kid has eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and you actually disobey the order of the head, see how he cleans you up.'' ‘’

Situ Ming spread his hands and said with a smile; ''I was also hot-headed all of a sudden, but fortunately, we made a mistake and won a battle in a daze, and it was too late to praise me. ‘’

Although Situ Ming was smiling on the surface, in fact, before the dust settled in the battle, he was also trembling, like a man's back. While asking the signal corpsmen to send a telegram to Liu Changfeng and asking about his next move, he asked people to count the casualties in the battle.

Situ Ming and Zhuo Wei recalled the whole process of the battle, the key to victory was the sudden attack, Zhuo Wei brilliantly completed the task of providing accurate coordinates for the artillery troops, Situ Ming and the friendly troops launched a thunderous offensive at the first time, caught the Japanese army off guard, and since then it has been out of control, completing the classic blitzkrieg in the history of infantry.
