The rumbling artillery was mixed with the whistling sound of landslides and ground cracks, and the Chinese officers and men who were familiar with hail rocket artillery knew that this was a salvo fired by a mobile artillery regiment, and that their side would definitely be unlucky again, and the diamond-shaped attack group formed by five combat vehicles made up for the 10-kilometer-wide front, with artillery fire, aircraft bombing and strafing, tanks covering the infantry and combat vehicle charges, and tons of ammunition projected at the positions of the Japanese army.

In the continuous column of explosion smoke, the stump and broken arm were blown into the sky and fell down one after another, maybe the situation on Nakajima's side is better than his own, right? The 6th Division, which had been counterattacked by the 3rd Armored Division, had been completely separated, and there was no effective tactical coordination between the various units at all, and it was a matter of time before it was annihilated.

Gu Shoufu sat quietly on top of a white cloth, the adjutant was waiting with a southern-style pistol in his hand, a pot of sake and a katana out of the sheath, the four words of the end of the road are the most appropriate description of Gu Shoufu at this moment, but Gu Shoufu didn't know that the division commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Imaigo, who he was thinking about, had now turned into a broken corpse, and dozens of Chinese soldiers squatted curiously on the ground and watched the man who was holding an explosive bag and tried to blast the tank, but was sieved by the machine gun, The body that was accidentally run over by the follow-up tank is said to be a lieutenant general? The Chinese soldiers were very curious, and said that they had resisted fiercely.

In the tree holes, under the ditches, under the destroyed chariots, and in the cracks of the stones, there were stubborn Chinese soldiers everywhere, and some of them even climbed on the ground with grenades and pretended to be dead, and when the Chinese soldiers passed by, they jumped up and detonated them, so some Chinese soldiers who were all soldiers threw grenades and shot at all possible targets, and it was obviously not safe to poke the corpses with bayonets.

It is better to cut off one finger than to cut off one of his fingers, and take the initiative to attack with all the strength of the 10th Theater, and completely annihilate the 6th and 16th Divisions of the Yue Army in a fierce battle day and night, plus the Chariot Division and the 23rd Mechanized Division of the Kwantung Army that were annihilated in Baotou, and the 10th Theater troops of Zhang Xuewu's department in this battle formed a formation to annihilate the four divisions of the Yue Army, severely damaged the four divisions of the Yue Army, and annihilated nearly 100,000 people. It can be said that the arrogant Kwantung Army broke its muscles and bones.

However, the losses in the 10th theater of operations were also extremely huge, not only the ammunition reserves were exhausted, but the intact rate of weapons and equipment of various units also dropped alarmingly, especially the three armored divisions, Chaoyang, Chifeng, Chengde, and Zhangjiakou The four fortress fortress cities have all been destroyed, and two of the four garrison divisions have been almost bare, and the new Fourth Division of the Youth Army that attacked Lingyuan has also suffered heavy losses since its formation. In the other two directions, the first, second, and third front armies of the Kwantung Army also paid a certain amount of casualties, and the large-scale surrender of the 23rd Mechanized Division only occurred once, and almost all of the rest of the troops of the Yue Army resisted to the end, not to mention surrender, even capturing a prisoner was very laborious.

The Chaoyang Fortress under the sunset can be described as a mess, here is the core battlefield of this war, the fortress was broken through by the army, in addition to the core fortifications of Wolf Mountain to the end, more than seventy percent of the Chaoyang Fortress has fallen, almost all the buildings above two floors in the city have been damaged to varying degrees, some are the garrison troops themselves changed into temporary anti-enemy bunker fortifications, some are destroyed by the artillery fire of different calibers, and even the stumps and broken arms can be seen under the rubble everywhere.

Type 92 infantry guns, Meiji 41 type 75 mm field guns, Taisho 14 105 mm howitzers, Meiji 15 15 mm field heavy howitzers? This thing is a complete antique, huh? I really fucking give it up?

A captain officer sitting lazily next to the wreckage of a wrecked tank muttered to himself as he looked at the massive bullet holes in the wall of a department store.

The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the wound on his forehead after the stitches, and the smoke and oil marks on his face made his skin turn bronze, after this battle, Lu Yu was surprised to find that he seemed to have grown overnight? Life and death have seen too much.

An officer who was limping in a barely colorable coat full of mud stains looked at the captured artillery and said, "That's the bastard's Type 96 150mm cannon over there, why haven't you seen the 15th year of the Meiji era?" The troops of the counterattack have already captured four abandoned Type 96 on the outskirts? Didn't you say that there might be a ninety-seven style? ”

After smearing the small notebook, he sat next to Lu Yu, wearing a tank soldier hat and a colonel coat in Chaoyang Fortress, and only Dai Peng, the commander of the garrison and the commander of the first garrison division, Dai Peng took out a pack of crumpled and slightly bloodstained cigarettes from the tattered coat pocket with his bandaged hand, lit it with a kerosene lighter, took two puffs of beauty, swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and stretched out two fingers to shake it in front of him.

Dai Peng directly threw the cigarette to Lu Yudao: "Don't you want to quit smoking?" Why do you suddenly want to smoke again? ”

Lu Yu glanced at Dai Peng and said, "You colonels all have special indicators, where do we have them!" The addiction to smoking is still big, and when you finish smoking, you have no choice but to shout to quit smoking. ”

"How's Madame?" Lu Yu glanced at Dai Peng, Dai Peng took a deep breath and said, "It's okay!" Before the war, she and her children were transferred by transport plane, along with two female researchers from your technical department! ”

Dai Peng threw away the cigarette that didn't last long, snorted and said: "I'm used to smoking with a filter, and I'm not used to it without a butt, how about the losses of your test troops?" ”

Lu Yu knocked on the wreckage of the tank under him with his hand and said, "Sir Dai, haven't you seen it all, it's all gone!" It's all gone! Except for the No. 04 Iron Cavalry medium main battle tank, which was blown up after our own evacuation, the others were destroyed in the end of the battle. ”

Dai Peng nodded and said: "Without your test detachment, Dongcheng might have been lost a long time ago, maybe the entire Chaoyang Fortress would not be able to hold it, you are the mainstay!" At least 60 or 70 chariots of the Chinese army were destroyed at the breakthrough point smashed by the Japanese army, and the Yue himself covered you with heavy artillery, what were the casualties? ”

At the mention of casualties, Lu Yu was slightly stunned and said: "The tank crew lost sixty percent, basically they were killed by hits, and those who were injured were basically saved, the water tank ammunition box of the jackal light tank is good, and the ammunition is almost used up when it is destroyed, plus the semi-automatic fire extinguisher, so there is no tank ammunition to explode." ”

Dai Peng suddenly said as if he remembered something: "What happened to the armored soldiers who died of severe burns in the field hospital?" ”

Lu Yu took a deep breath, was silent for a while, and said with a little stump: "The Maybach gasoline engine is unreliable!" If you use the diesel engine of the iron ride, even if it is destroyed, the Huang Tao crew will not be burned like that? ”

Dai Peng suddenly said a little strangely: "Since your design institute has a diesel engine, why don't you equip the jackal light tank with a diesel engine?" Do you know that the Maybach gasoline engine is unreliable? Isn't this a matter of carelessness for human life? This is extremely irresponsible! ”

In the face of Dai Peng's menacing questioning, Lu Yu said helplessly: "The volume length of our diesel engine exceeds the limit of the power compartment of the jackal tank, and the power is slightly worse than that of the Maybach. ”

Dai Peng nodded, the light tank as a fixed point of fire, this is also no way to do it, knowing that it is death, but also fight to the end, this kind of generous spirit to death is already commonplace for the Chinese [***] people, Dai Peng laboriously stood on the wreckage of the destroyed tank and looked in the direction of the breakthrough, our nine tanks were all destroyed, and the various tanks of the army that accompanied them were densely packed and almost blocked the breakthrough, and the abandoned corpses of the army were everywhere, and many of them were crushed by the chariots of the follow-up attack, Dead bodies and the wreckage of chariots everywhere.

The hull and turret of the destroyed Jackal light tank were all facing the direction of the breakthrough, and even if it was destroyed and burned, it showed the mighty spirit of preferring to die, and the death of the chariot of the Yue army was strange, almost in all kinds of positions.

If the military chariot destroyed by the jackal light tank had not been martyred, it would have at least retained a complete shape, and the one destroyed by the iron cavalry was basically broken down into parts and scattered on the ground, and the various human stumps mixed with the wreckage of the chariot were grilled at high temperatures, exuding bursts of meat fragrance? It's just that the people present at this time basically don't have any appetite.

Dai Peng stood in the middle of the battlefield full of ruins, and suddenly felt very proud in his heart, a man must have a mentality of competing for dominance, commanding thousands of troops and horses to win victories Sometimes, perhaps not as happy as the cruel dismemberment of an enemy in hand-to-hand combat, the more people a soldier kills, there is naturally a bloodthirsty desire, the enemy's stumps, heads, and internal organs are a way of visual satisfaction.

Dai Peng looked at the wreckage of the three destroyed Yue Jun Type 97 medium chariots and said to Lu Yu: "What's the matter with the three over there?" ”

Lu Yu stood up and glanced at it and said: "I am used to using ammunition boxes and sandbags and tank spare load wheels, and fixed on the bow of the ninety-seven change with a wire rope, which is equivalent to an extra layer of armor, and the armor-piercing projectiles fired by the jackal-type fifty mm caliber sixty times the body tube and fifty-two times the body tube tank gun can be penetrated at close range, and it is not clear at long distance, the fifty mm high-explosive anti-tank grenade is almost ineffective, but the result is the same whether the 100 mm gun on the iron horse is changed or not." ”
