Chapter 557 Xuzhou 10
Knowing that Sun Zhen's Sichuan Army under the command of the Central Plains Field Corps, and a cavalry had successfully intercepted the retreat of the Segu Detachment, Li Zongren was immediately overjoyed, and the main force surrounded the front of Taierzhuang, and the part of the Sakamoto detachment that had no time to withdraw, as well as the Taierzhuang Dispatch Army.
At the same time, the 52nd Army was recruited from Guan Lin, and one division was transferred from Sun Lianzhong's group army, and about two divisions were gathered to rush north, seizing this last opportunity to encircle and suppress the main force of the Japanese army.
"Sakazai!"
Time was pressing, and it was not easy to get out of the encirclement of the national * army, but Seya Kai, who thought that he could escape to Zaozhuang smoothly, did not expect to kill another roadblock halfway. If you are caught up by the pursuers behind, everything will be over.
Although during this escape, the Seya detachment had to throw away a large amount of heavy equipment. INCLUDING A DOZEN TANKS, ONLY 2 155MM HEAVY GUNS, 4 TRACKED TRACTORS, AND SOME OF THE CARS THAT WERE BLOWN UP. But in order to escape a way out, the Japanese troops of the Seya detachment were desperate at this time. Two squadrons were used in the first wave of the attack, and two squadrons in the second wave were also intensively prepared.
"It's half a brigade up, the Japanese army is desperate, big guy, fight to the death!"
"Tom tom"
A row of mortars slammed into each other, and the raindrops of shells hit the Japanese formation. Flesh and blood flew in an instant.
Da-da-da
On the Sichuan position, the roar of Czech light machine guns tightened for a while.
Bullets rained down on both sides.
"Damn!" In the telescope, although the first wave of Japanese troops attacking was brave and unstoppable, they first carried the opponent's mortars and then a machine gun. A little closer, the other side was another round of grenades. The attacking troops suddenly hit their noses and swollen faces, and they were counterattacked by the Sichuan army and retreated directly. Kai Seya, who put down the telescope, had a pale face, if it was in normal times, this level of firepower would not be enough to resist his attack, but in order to successfully escape from the encirclement of the enemy army, even a considerable part of the cars had to be destroyed, and some of the cannons that weighed thousands of pounds were also thrown away. And because of the weight, it was still dragging behind the team, and it was too late to go directly to the battlefield for a while. The attack of two squadrons was repelled by such a level of firepower, which was a shame for Kei Seya.
"Attack, attack! Send out all the remaining tanks. Break down the defense line of the Chinese army! ”
Time waits for no one, and at this time there are no casualties. At this time, the fuel of the tank in hand was very tight, and it was very reluctant to drive back, but at this time, even if it broke through the enemy's obstruction, I am afraid that I would have to lose more tanks.
The Japanese soldiers of the black girl rushed towards the positions of the Sichuan army again and again. Having been beaten back once, a second attack was immediately organized. There were corpses everywhere on the ground, there were defenders, but more Japanese ones. Several times, the Japanese army almost rushed into the defenders' improvised positions, and at this time it was only the Sichuan army that was responsible for intercepting, as well as some cavalry, and in terms of troops, it was not superior to the main force of the Seya detachment. Once a white-knuckle battle is launched, the consequences are unimaginable. In the face of the enemy's remaining dozen tanks, the Sichuan army used the only few battle defense guns in their hands, as well as mortars to carry out intensive fire, the battle defense guns were killed Those fearless fighters under the cover of firepower, with cluster hand bombs also broke the tracks of two tanks. The battle between the two sides was like a huge blood saw, repeatedly sawing between the two armies as the two sides advanced and counterattacked.
"Damn, these little devils are really dead, water, hurry up and get the water!" The Heavy wiped the blood from his forehead, saw the already reddened barrel, and shouted at the soldier next to him.
"Water, water is running out." The battle lasted for several hours, and the Sichuan army, which was relatively weak compared to the Japanese army, fought for its life, and the machine guns never stopped, and I didn't realize that without water, the sharp weapon of heavy machines could not be played. While changing a large number of guards, the Northwest Army eliminated some of the old weapons in the past, including some water-cooled heavy machine guns for the Sichuan Army.
"Niu Heizi went to fetch water."
"It's too late, the little devils are crazy, use urine, quickly!" The Japanese counterattack was very fierce, and the heavy machine gun, which was an important firepower output of the Sichuan army, fell off the chain at this time, and every time it took a while, I don't know how many people died because of the lack of fire support.
rumble
Several grenades fell into the Sichuan army formation, and a major and several soldiers next to him were knocked to the ground by the shrapnel of the ****.
"Camp, camp!" The other Sichuan soldiers screamed with all their might, but the battalion commander who fell in a pool of blood did not respond.
"The eighteenth generation ancestor of Caoni has fought with the little devil!" The Sichuan troops on the position were all red-eyed.
Dodo
The heavy machine gun, which had been delayed for a moment, roared again, and when the raging tongues of fire moved left and right, the Japanese troops rushing in front were swept over in an instant.
"Onboard!" The Japanese army of the brigade once again launched a decisive charge, and with the support of the will to survive, the combat power of the Japanese army that broke out was indeed not comparable to the Sichuan army that had been strengthened to a certain extent.
The battle lasted until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and more than one regiment and more than a thousand cavalry, under the attack of the main force of a detachment of the Japanese army, supported most of the day. When it gradually showed no support, in a small half a day's effort, more than 2,000 people were killed on the Sichuan army's position. For the Japanese army, whose firepower was not strong at this time, the fierceness of the battle between the two sides can be imagined.
"Kill the little devil!" On the ruined position, the remaining Sichuan troops roared, rifles and rushed towards the Japanese tanks one after another. At this time, the first defenders had already suffered more than half of the casualties, several battle defense guns were destroyed, and even the mortars carried few shells were left. At this time, if you want to block the crazy attack of the Japanese army, only the flesh and blood of the Sichuan army remain. However, even in this case, Sun Zhen's army did not take half a step back, and stepped on the broken position with heavy feet. Stepping on the corpses of comrades-in-arms, not surviving in battle, but following the path of deceased comrades-in-arms in tragedy, with so many comrades-in-arms to accompany them, even if they die in battle, they will never be lonely!
Whoa
Just when the vanguard of the Sichuan army, of more than 4,000 people, was reduced to only 1,000 people, the roar of an engine sounded.
"Boom!"
In the sound of sharp artillery, a Japanese tank rushing in front was beaten into a torch without any suspense.
Boom, boom
Several Japanese tanks rushing ahead were turned into broken steel coffins in the explosion.
"Reinforcements have arrived, our reinforcements have arrived!"
All the Sichuan soldiers wept with joy, roared wildly, and vented their resentment and hatred in their hearts.
At this time, the 1st Division of the 52nd Army was also reinforced to the battlefield. When I saw the torrent of steel gathered by dozens of tanks and rushed into the Japanese army with unstoppable momentum, the shock in my heart cannot be described in words. The turned muzzle was slow and powerful. The remaining less than ten tanks of the Japanese army were destroyed one by one in the shelling. It was the first time they had seen the unbeatable Japanese tanks being consumed at such an alarming rate. It was also the first time to see such a number of tanks rushing out from their own side or from the back of friendly troops, and it was the first time to see that the Japanese army was so vulnerable and vulnerable.
Dozens of tanks were like heavy swords, directly splitting the Japanese offensive formation. The Japanese army, which was close to a brigade, was almost powerless to fight back in these dozens of steel forts.
"Quick, quick, block the tanks of the Chinese army!" The Japanese officers shouted hysterically, but this did not stop the other party in the slightest.
"The artillery attacked in depth, and the remaining cavalry prepared to pursue. Defeat the Seya detachment first. Zhang Chujiu's sturdy body jumped to the ground from a snow leopard armored car, and his voice was extremely cold and authentic.
Boom, boom
Relatively speaking, the battle defense artillery was much lighter than the seven-and-a-half artillery, and the Seya detachment brought back basically everything that could be used. However, a limited number of anti-aircraft guns faced dozens of moving tanks, and there was no solid defensive position, and the situation faced by the Japanese army at this time was to fight in the field. In this case, it is not a little difficult to block the attack of the 3rd Mechanized Brigade. Seeing the scene of the anti-aircraft cannon bouncing into the air and exploding on the front armor of the Tomahawk tank, the Japanese infantry's heart was gloomy. Not even the anti-aircraft artillery could destroy these enemy tanks, what else could they do?
At five o'clock, eight hundred and ninety yards away, fire!
WITH THE COMMAND OF THE ARTILLERY COMMANDER, MORE THAN A DOZEN TOWED 75MM HOWITZERS THAT ARRIVED IN THE FIRST BATCH LET OUT ANGRY HOWULDERS, POURING SCORCHING SHELLS ON THE HEADS OF THE JAPANESE TROOPS.
Less than 1,000 yards, this is a very dangerous distance, even the Japanese army usually fights with the national * army, and rarely does this, of course, in addition to some Type 92 infantry guns, there are also battle defense guns. After all, this distance is too dangerous. However, with the arrival of reinforcements from several places, at this time, the Japanese army was not only at an absolute disadvantage, but also suppressed the newly arrived mechanized 3rd Brigade in terms of weapons and equipment. The few remaining tanks, in front of Zhang Chujiu's tank cluster, did not last long.
The tank cluster rushed directly into the middle of the Japanese army, the machine guns swept together, and the nearby Japanese troops did not have time to react at all, they were swept to the ground, and a few were lying on the ground, or because the tanks were rushing too fast, they were drowned by the Sichuan troops who rushed up after them before they had time to get lucky.
And part of the artillery group of the 3rd Mechanized Brigade was also ploughed in most of the Japanese army at this time, and when the tanks rushed forward, the artillery fire was also extending backwards. The Japanese army, which was no longer able to launch an effective counterattack at this time, was turned upside down.
"Kill devils, avenge the dead brothers, and pay for the blood debt!" The rest of Sun Zhen's Sichuan army roared hoarsely.
The roars of all the soldiers gathered together, and the bayonets in their hands followed closely behind the butts of dozens of tanks, covering the Japanese troops who had been shattered. Although the Sichuan army has been fighting for more than 20 years, the warlords have been fighting for a considerable period of time, and most of them are soy sauce ingredients, firing a few cannons, and running away with a few shots in the sky, but there are not many real tough battles. Like in front of him, after half a day's effort, thousands of people were killed and wounded, which was rare in the melee of the Sichuan army. But these Sichuan troops, who had been inactive in the melee, faced with an even more fierce enemy at this time, did not retreat under such a bloody sacrifice, and nailed themselves to the same place, blocking the Seya detachment that the Japanese army retreated north in the encirclement.
All the efforts, all the bloodshed and sacrifice, just for the moment in front of you, to kill the widows!
"Kill the devil!" At this time, the 52nd Army that pursued it also joined in this feast of killing the Japanese army, from the July 7 Incident to the present, the 52nd Army has experienced such an opportunity. The vast majority of battles in my impression were bloody battles, and they struggled to support themselves in front of the Japanese army.
Dozens of tanks, without any suspense, ploughed the main force of the Seya detachment, and then turned around again to cut the Seya detachment repeatedly, and thousands of Japanese troops were all rushed to pieces at this time. It was simply impossible to organize an effective defense, and the scene was in chaos. The Seya detachment was finished, and from the moment the 3rd Mechanized Brigade came out, the last gate was closed.
At this time, the North China Front learned of the danger of several detachments, and ordered the 10th and 5th divisions to launch a fierce attack on the national * army in front of them from Linyi and Zaozhuang respectively, but although the equipment of the national * army was low, it relied on the absolute superiority of troops to keep the Japanese army out of the encirclement. At this time, the Seya detachment in the circle was unable to organize effective resistance, and with the main force of the 52nd Army and the 110th Division arriving one after another and immediately entering the battle, the Seya detachment fell completely into death from a desperate situation.
"Fortune Rong Zhenping, burn the wing flag, the first wing flag captured by the enemy in the empire, must not start with our wing." Seya Kai didn't have to listen to the report of the signal corps at this time, but from the chaotic battlefield around him, as well as the explosions that were getting closer and closer, he could judge that there was no luck this time. Although he had the idea of making his own plans at the beginning of the fight, the time to retreat north was a little late after all. Now everything is irretrievable.
"Brigade, Your Excellency Brigade Commander, Your Excellency Furong has lost contact." The Japanese staff officer next to him said with a disgraced face.
Bang!
The Japanese staff officer responded to a piercing gunshot, and by the time the staff officer came to his senses, Kei Seya had fallen in a pool of blood.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!" There was a scream next to him.
Rumble! Several shells landed nearby, kicking up a cloud of mud and sand, sweeping away several soldiers who were responsible for the security of the brigade headquarters.
"I'd rather have the jade shattered than be a prisoner of the Chinese army! Long live the Emperor! A staff officer of the brigade headquarters pulled out a pistol with a look of absolute clarity on his face.
"Long live the Emperor!" The ruthlessness of the staff officers has led to the others.
Click
However, the high morale of these Japanese soldiers, who were accustomed to being pampered in peacetime, did not last long. The two tanks rushed one after the other. Wherever they rushed, the machine guns on it swept all the way, and they never stopped all the way, and everywhere they passed, there was a wail and screams.
In the face of this steel fortress that is not at all capable of human resistance, these staff officers of the brigade headquarters are only now alerted to the fact that war is not enough with courage alone, and in the past, when the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles crushed the national * army, they only had contempt for the national * army and disdained it, and at this time, in the face of the tomahawks of the Northwest Army, there was a general feeling that the sky was falling apart and the end was coming. If there is an afterlife, I would rather choose not to join the army and come to this terrible place. Unfortunately, this assumption does not hold.
Creak! The crawler boasted the bones of the staff officer, and the Seya detachment was completely finished. (To be continued.) )
