Dai Peng took a deep breath and said, "You guys will deploy troops and firepower in the position behind the flank!" It was a low-lying area, and I remember a basement that was blown up by the Japanese army. It was impossible to find out where the firing points were deployed, and there was nothing that could be done about either mortar or direct fire. ”

He Jun nodded and was about to leave the turret full of pungent smell, but Dai Peng grabbed He Jun and said, "How many troops do you still have?" ”

He Jun was slightly stunned for a moment, and said with an unnatural expression: "There are fifty-one people!" ”

"Fifty-one?" Dai Peng suddenly exclaimed, and Lu Yu also looked at He Jun in surprise, if it wasn't for He Jun leading the troops to escape and avoid the battle, how could the casualties be so small? The sturdy buildings in the east of the city, including Chaoyang Bank, were all collapsed by the army's 150-millimeter cannons, and the defenders of the two companies inside were all sacrificed and martyred.

And a company of the He army can still have fifty-one combatants? It's a miracle! If He Jun did not avoid the war, the first thing Dai Peng did was to ask He Jun to apply for a medal and give him a two-level promotion.

He Jun took a deep breath and said, "These fifty-one people are the last combatants of the left flank position!" ”

"What?" Dai Peng exclaimed: "There are at least ten infantry companies in the left flank position, and at least three more companies have been reinforced during this period, and there are only fifty-one people in total?" ”

He Jun nodded and said: "The army used two tanks that could breathe fire on the left flank, although they were finally beaten into a fire regiment by the brothers with anti-tank rifles, but more than 400 wounded and dozens of nurses in the Guangmao Commercial House were buried in the fire of the army, and the remaining brothers fought for the army one room and one house until all of them became rubble and there was no room to defend, in order to continue to block the enemy, so the brothers reorganized and took the post of an officer, so they temporarily formed a company, hoping to continue to block the enemy at the outside of the city gate. ”

Dai Peng nodded and said: "I don't blame you for fighting to such an extent, everyone is good, if you can survive, I will ask Commander Zhang for the brothers!" ”

He Jun smiled with an indifferent expression and said: "There is no need to ask for credit, we are living now to kill more people, for these two-legged beasts, only by killing them all, they will not dare to come again, the army has attacked my Chaoyang Fortress three or four times, just because we have killed too few devils, kill them, and leave no one!" ”

Dai Peng looked at the angry He Jun and nodded, what kind of preferential treatment will the enemy be on the battlefield, what humanity will be said, what mercy will be talked about, that is cruelty to oneself, since it is war, the essence of war is to tear and blood, death is just an added value of war, it is better for the enemy to die than to die for oneself, right?

Soon, the attack of the Yue army kicked off in the storm of artillery bombardment, Dai Peng watched with concern as He Jun's figure disappeared into the smoke of gunpowder, and the last shot of the Iron Cavalry Experimental Tank, which had run out of ammunition and food, was pierced by armor-piercing bullets and pierced a Type 95 chariot that tried to rush through the breakthrough from the front to the back, and the flesh, stumps, and internal organs of the crew of the military vehicle crew burst out of the large hole in the basin.

The scorching chariot of the army is like a barbecue iron plate frying beef, making a creepy squeak, accompanied by a burst of scorching smell, the follow-up chariot was shocked by the tragic scene of the chariot in front, and began to desperately reverse, in the panic a chariot was crushed and knocked down several infantry who followed it and caught off guard, the chariot was retreating in a big way, and the infantry of the army followed closely behind also began to retreat to the two wings, without the cover of the chariot, the infantry of the army was not a fool, They have learned many times about the fierce firepower of the Chinese defenders, if a person is hit by accident once and hits the wall, then what is it to be beaten every time, to hit the wall every time and not repent? That is the behavior of pigs, and the left wing has made a breakthrough, as long as the troops on the left and right infiltrate and outflank, the center [***] will naturally retreat, and at this time will fight to the death? So the attack of the Yue army was naturally chaotic.

The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty looked at the uncompetitive troops in the mirror of the artillery team, and really wanted to order the heavy artillery to wipe out these guys who insulted the prestige of the imperial army, but they shelled their own troops for no reason? Especially when there is no enemy entangled with it, and it is not the key point of the overall collapse of the offensive, it is obviously unwise to cover it with artillery fire.

In the opinion of the Chau Libing, the chariot troops should be more courageous after the first chariot was destroyed, and use the chariot to fight the enemy with bayonets, and can't penetrate the enemy at a long distance, and can't penetrate at close range? Besides, it always takes time for the enemy to reload, right? In the final analysis, the chariot units lack the will and spirit to the death.

In fact, the Commander of the Zhou Dynasty had wronged the Eighth Wing of the Reading Tank, which was the elite unit of the Kwantung Army, and was the first unit to be equipped with Type 95 light tanks, and had also replaced the long-barreled 37-mm tank guns, which had not been fortunate enough to participate in all previous exchanges with the Rehe side, because it was stationed on the border between Heilongjiang and the Soviet Union.

Because this was the largest operation in the history of the Kwantung Army, it was related to the fate of the Imperial Kingdom, so the 8th Tank Wing of Reading was also withdrawn, and joined the 1st Front Army from the border garrison force, and Major General Shimayama Kuroyoshi of the 8th Wing of the Reading Tank, who had been eager to make meritorious contributions to the empire and serve His Majesty the Emperor, was blown into a bonfire together with the car as early as the third round of assault, and the most heroic and desperate crew of the 8th Tank Wing was frozen into one together with the burned remains of their chariots.

For the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Chariot Wing of the Reading Army, the synonym of bravery is to die quickly, so the remaining officers and soldiers of the Eighth Chariot Wing are not fools, the chariot is a valuable weapon comparable to the field heavy howitzer for the Army, the soldiers of the Army can be sacrificed at will, but the chariot can not be easily sacrificed, because the replenishment of the chariot is far more difficult than the replenishment of a rifle, a soldier is killed, his weapon is likely to be intact, but if the charioteer is killed, All that was left of their chariot was a pile of broken copper and iron.

When the Zhou Libing soldiers were in a state of fire, they received a secret telegram report from the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and the 39th Division, which was responsible for the containment of the Chengde area, was defeated by the main force of the Central [***], and the 36th Division, which was responsible for blocking the reinforcements of Chifeng in the east of Chaoyang, was also heavily damaged by the Central [***], and a medium [***] with at least three or four hundred combat vehicles and armored vehicles defeated the 36th Division's resistance from the flank, and the commander of the Yoshinogawa Jiro Division was responsible for using all his forces on the front, Therefore, the surprise attack of the [***] team was successful, and the commander of the Yoshinogawa Jiro Division was seriously injured.

Although his First Front Army had not yet been able to break through Chaoyang and occupy all the fortresses, it could already be confirmed that two armored divisions and four integrated divisions of the Youth Army in the Tenth Theater had been mobilized, plus the Chinese defenders in Chifeng, Zhangjiakou, Chengde, Chaoyang, Yinchuan, Datong, and Hohhot, and the strength of the Tenth Theater should be almost overstretched.

When the reinforcements from China [***] are intertwined, I'm afraid it's the time for Hideki Tojo to attack, right? Won Zhou Libing suddenly realized that he was starting to become sad? Such heavy casualties turned out to be just to cover the attack of Hideki Tojo's chariot division and mechanized division?

If it weren't for the fact that during the Battle of Rehe that year, the political axe and the military headquarters, the staff headquarters, and the Kwantung Army were fighting each other, and they would have struck with all their strength back then, where would there still be the 10th theater of operations today? Now Zhang Xuewu has become a behemoth with the assistance of the Soviets, and it can be seen from the railway lines around Chaoyang that the three provinces of Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan have long been integrated, and the troops of the 10th Theater can quickly maneuver along the railway line, especially the 10th Theater has powerful air power, whether it is the Chinese Dispatch Army or the Kwantung Army, the aircraft types and numbers they have at their disposal are not enough to form an effective suppression of the 10th Theater.

It seems that this attack is also the final attack, right? Because the armored troops of the middle [***] that were rapidly reinforced from the direction of Chifeng would appear in the area east of Chaoyang at any time, the soldiers of Zhou Libao took a deep breath and said: "Give an order to the attacking troops, whether it is successful or not in this battle, I hope that all the monarchs will work together to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and those who dare to retreat do not need to be tried by military law, and will be severely punished by law on the spot." ”

Under the coercion of the strict military law of the Zhou Lijun, the officers and men who attacked Chaoyang launched a comprehensive attack on Chaoyang City from all directions as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, which was also destined to be the last madness of the First Front Army of the Kwantung Army in the offensive and defensive battle of Chaoyang.

As the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kenkichi stood in the former enemy headquarters in Jinzhou, looked at the number of the [***] team in the Tenth War Zone on the sand table, frowned tightly, and said: "Order Commander Yamashita Fengwen of the Third Front Army to step up the attack on Zhangjiakou, there are at least five new Youth Army divisions in the Tenth War Zone that have not appeared on the battlefield, Zhang Xuewu still has cards in his hand, we can't take risks!" ”

Standing beside Kenji Ueda, the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Yoshiichi Kurosaki, looked at the troops of the North China Front on the map and said: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the main forces of the seven divisions and other four brigades of the North China Front under the command of Okamura Ninji have been on standby for a long time, and they are equipped with the 6th and 7th brigades of the field heavy artillery, and the 11th and 12th wings of the Reading Tank. Otherwise, the troops of the 1st Front and the 7 divisions of the 2nd Front of our army will be caught in a flank from the central and eastern sides. ”
