[The Iron Blood King of the Anti-Japanese Resistance] Chapter 458: Abandon the pawn to protect the car (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Just when the Japanese army was marching forward, a force of more than 600 people quickly entered the forward position from the rear on the defensive position of Fushanzhuang.

I saw that one of these soldiers was carrying a wooden box, and the other was carrying a cylinder nearly a meter long. Once at the position, the soldiers quickly carried the long canisters onto their shoulders and aimed at the rapidly moving Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

At the same time, behind the position, more than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles of the assault brigade were also assembled, and behind the tanks were more than two thousand infantry with loaded guns.

At the former enemy headquarters, Bi Lige was observing the situation on the battlefield with a telescope, when the chief of staff of the Second Assault Brigade ran over and reported: "Brigade commander, the chief of staff of the assault brigade, Shi Dingfang, called and said that they are ready to attack at any time. ”

"Okay, let's get started!"

"Yes"

At Bilig's command, a flare rose into the air and exploded rapidly.

After seeing the signal flares that quickly rose into the air, those bazooka men on the forward position quickly pulled the trigger, and they didn't hear much movement, but they saw rockets dragging long exhaust gases flying towards the Japanese tanks.

The anti-tank men of Ma Zheng's department used the **** bazooka of the later republic, which is the famous 40 fire, which is the Chinese version of the famous RPG-7 of the Soviet Union. Weighing only 5.6 kilograms, this bazooka is not much heavier than an AK assault rifle, and it is only 0.91 meters long, but it can reach a range of about 300 meters.

Although due to technical reasons, Ma Zheng's 40 guns were not equipped with sights, which affected the power of the bazooka, but it was still not a problem to deal with targets within a range of 200 meters.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

As the rockets hit the target, the Japanese tanks were penetrated one after another, and then exploded, and at least 50 tanks and armored vehicles were blown up in the first round of strikes, not only the Japanese armored troops suffered heavy casualties, but even the ordinary infantry following the tanks were also affected, and the casualties were also extremely heavy.

Such a scene completely stunned the Japanese generals who were watching the battle in the rear, and they all grew their mouths one by one, and their expressions were extremely shocked.

"Yaga!" The enraged Major General Sekihara slammed the telescope in his hand to the ground, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, what kind of means did the Shina people use to blow up their chariot.

Before Major General Sekihara could come up with a reason, and before he could continue to speak, the commander of the 78th Wing on the side, Tadaichi Kutani, said in shock: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, it's the chariot unit of the Zhina people, and they have launched an attack!" ”

Before he had time to think about it, Major General Sekihara snatched the telescope from Kutani Tadashi's hand, and then observed.

Sure enough, a large number of chariots appeared behind the position of the Chinese people, although these chariots looked almost the same as the Type 94 bean chariot and the Type 95 light chariot produced by the empire, but they were sprayed with yellow and green colors, which looked more powerful, and a Type 97 chariot at the beginning was inserted with a bamboo pole with a fiery red flag, indicating the identity of this chariot unit.

Behind these chariots were a large number of soldiers in strange yellow and green uniforms, holding strange weapons in their hands, and cooperating with the chariots to attack.

Sekihara Roku observed for two minutes, and then quickly ordered: "It's the chariot unit of the Shina people, and the man is going to have a steel duel with us, immediately order all the chariot groups to attack, and destroy all the chariot troops of this Shina chariot for me!" ”

"Hay!"

An enraged Sekihara Roku gave the order that was enough to bury all the tank units of the Japanese army, but unfortunately he did not see the soldiers carrying long barrels following the Chinese armored forces.

In order to avoid being broken by Ma Zheng's armored troops, Lieutenant General Ushijima Minoru ordered Shigei Yagyu to command all the chariot units to accompany Major General Sekihara's 39th Brigade, and was under the control and command of Major General Sekihara.

270 tanks is definitely a formidable force on the Chinese battlefield, and even Okamura Ninji's raid on Nanchang three months ago only concentrated 130 tanks, which is only about half of the 20th Division.

The goal of Sugiyama Mototo and Umezu Mijiro is clear, they are to use this powerful armored force to annihilate Ma Zheng's armored forces in one fell swoop in the next battle. Therefore, after seeing the appearance of Ma Zheng's armored troops, Sekihara Roku directly ordered the entire army to be dispatched immediately.

However, the phenomenon of siege and brawl that Sekihara Roku imagined did not appear, although the number of their chariots was indeed about twice that of the armored regiment of the assault brigade, but before their chariots could be fired, the moving chariots were blown up one by one, and the explosions in the chariot units were deafening one after another.

In the eyes of the bazooka hands, the huge Japanese tanks were their live targets, and they only needed a little aim at such a close distance to directly hit them, and then easily let them explode.

This was not a battle between steel behemoths, but a premeditated massacre, with the cooperation of 300 bazooka fighters and 120 tanks and armored vehicles, the remaining more than 200 combat vehicles of the Japanese army were blown up one by one without even having a chance to jump.

After passing through the cemetery of the Japanese armored forces, Ma Zheng's armored troops launched an all-out assault on the rear positions of the 39th Brigade, while a large number of infantry followed behind the chariot units to cooperate in the attack.

Major General Sekihara on the hillside was completely stunned as if someone had used the immobilization technique, he had never seen the offensive and defensive situation on the battlefield change hands, but he had never seen such a rapid change of identity.

After a long time, Sekihara Roku came back to his senses, he knew that the general trend had gone, and without the armored troops in front of him, his infantry was completely exposed to the guns of the Shina people, and at this time they had no anti-tank weapons, and the only end was to be crushed by the chariots of the Shina people.

Thinking of this, Sekihara Roku immediately ordered: "Immediately order the Fujimuro Ryosuke Headquarters to block the chariot troops of the Shina people on the spot, and cover the evacuation of the brigade headquarters and the divisional artillery wing; At the same time, a report was sent to the division and regimental headquarters, asking them where they had arrived, and if they crossed the Hunhe River, they would cross the river immediately, and if they did not cross the river, they would meet our troops on the south bank of the river to cross the river; The main forces of the brigade and the artillery wing of the division were ordered to immediately withdraw to the Hunhe River, and then quickly cross the river. ”

Soratani Tadaichi hurriedly asked, "What should Fujimuro-kun and the warriors of the 77th Wing do?" ”

"Kutani-kun, do you think they can calmly retreat after completing the cover mission?" After speaking, Major General Sekihara walked back without looking back, leaving only Sokuya Tadaichi and the others with a stunned face.

Hearing this, everyone gasped, the meaning of the brigade commander was already very clear, he was going to sacrifice the 77th Wing, and use the lives of everyone in the entire 77th Wing to exchange time for the retreat of the brigade headquarters.

Although they also knew that this was a helpless move on the part of His Excellency Guan Yuanliu, and that this was the only way to exchange for the survival of the whole army, such an order was still difficult for them to accept. After all, it was the 77th Wing that was abandoned today, and tomorrow it may be them.

It was very clear what Tadaichi Kutani and the others thought of Sekihara, but he didn't want to explain anything, and at this time he had to think clearly about how to explain to His Excellency the Division Commander and the Umezu Command. The loss of a wing is nothing, and his status and status are not enough for the higher authorities to punish him. But it would be different if he took on an armored unit of 270 combat vehicles, and such a responsibility was by no means something that a small brigade commander of a major general could bear.

As everyone knows, Japan is an island country, its domestic resources are poor, and almost half of its strategic materials need to be imported from abroad. Because of this, a culture of heavy weaponry and light human life has been formed in the Japanese army, especially heavy equipment such as chariots, according to the regulations, even if only one is lost, it must be reported to the command at the division and regiment level, and the loss of more than 200 chariots at one time is a fiasco that has never been seen in the history of the empire.
