Four tungsten armor-piercing shells flew at the same time with tail flames towards two M3A1 half-track combat vehicles about a kilometer away, because this kind of anti-aircraft gun was made in Germany, the devil artillery simply did not have time to test the effective range and armor-piercing ability of this gun.

In fact, the tungsten core armor-piercing shells fired by this German 37mm anti-aircraft gun could penetrate 48mm tanks or combat vehicles without bevel and reactive armor within 500 meters.

Although the armor of the American M3A1 half-track armored combat vehicle is not as thick as that of 48 mm, at a distance of a thousand meters, the armor-piercing shells fired by the 37mm anti-aircraft gun have little effect on it.

Although the artillery combat quality of the devils was very high, but the distance of one thousand meters and the fact that they had not used this kind of German anti-aircraft gun before, two of the four tungsten armor-piercing shells missed, and the other two hit the same M3A1 half-track armored combat vehicle, but failed to destroy it.

The six-ton body only shook slightly, and the armored soldiers inside were shocked to scratch a little skin.

"Damn! It's a battle defense gun! After being attacked, the armored soldier immediately burst into a foul language on the walkie-talkie. The only thing that can hit their chariot so accurately is the battle defense gun, and the howitzer will not be able to hit so accurately, and it will not be a direct shot.

These ordinary armored soldiers of the Tiger Regiment have studied, and the artillery companies directly under the direct jurisdiction of each battalion of the Tiger Regiment are also equipped with battle defense guns, so the armored soldiers can guess what kind of artillery attacked them from the sound of the cannon and the trajectory.

Fortunately, this time it was not the M3A1 wheeled armored vehicle of the original reconnaissance company that took the lead, the armor of the wheeled armored vehicle is much thinner than that of the half-track, and if it is hit by an armor-piercing projectile, the consequences are unpredictable.

After Zhang Xudong learned about the situation through the walkie-talkie, he immediately ordered eight 88mm anti-aircraft guns to search for targets and kill them.

After receiving the order, the anti-aircraft gunners quickly began to set up artillery positions in the rear under the cover of the armored corps, and the lookouts began to raise their binoculars to search for the position of the anti-aircraft guns.

At this moment, the devil artillery, who was annoyed that the first shelling did not destroy the Chinese tank, began shelling again.

However, the result was the same as before, although the accuracy of the Devil's shelling this time was significantly higher than the last time, but due to the long distance, there was still no M3A1 half-track armored combat vehicle capable of penetrating the armored company.

Seeing this, Koizumi Mingze was so angry that he suddenly jumped like thunder, brandished his command knife and slashed at the steel barrel of the battle defense cannon beside him, and there was a sonorous burst of sparks, Koizumi Mingze was shocked to the point that his arm was numb, and he scolded angrily: "Baga Yalu, these Germans have a great bad conscience, and the artillery they make is far inferior to the equipment of our empire!" ”

"Your Excellency, Captain, could it be that the distance is too far?" A devil gunner said unsurely.

"What do you mean?" Koizumi Akisawa is not a professional artilleryman, but was transferred to the popular position of the artillery brigade by virtue of his military exploits, and at this moment he has been carried away by anger and lost his previous calm, so he said without thinking: "This distance is more than 1,000 meters at most, and we can say that the mortars of this empire can hit them, and these bulky German artillery have obviously hit the chariots of the Chinese people, but they cannot destroy them, which is enough to show that the German artillery is completely inferior to the artillery of our empire!" ”

"Your Excellency, I say that the artillery of this empire is the best in the world, and it is naturally the best! It's just that I think that our mortars fire grenades, and the trajectory is arcing, while the trajectory of this German anti-aircraft gun is direct fire, and I think that although the distance of a thousand meters is not beyond the range, its power is no longer enough to destroy the heavily armored Chinese tank. "The devil's main gunner is a professional artilleryman, so the analysis is correct after all.

"What do you mean?" Koizumi Akisawa asked suspiciously.

"Advance the anti-aircraft artillery forward by several hundred meters, and try to carry out artillery bombardment!" The devil's main gunner immediately said what he thought.

"Yo Xi!" Although Koizumi Akisawa was annoyed, he was not stupid, and immediately nodded happily and ordered: "Move forward immediately." ”

"Hay!" More than a dozen devil artillerymen bowed their heads at the same time, and immediately began to move forward one after another, pushing forward the battle defense artillery and slowly advancing forward.

However, Koizumi Akisawa didn't know that while they were talking, an anti-aircraft gun lookout about a kilometer away had already spotted them.

And quickly calibrated the shooting elements and locked them.

On the antiaircraft gun position of the armored company, eight antiaircraft guns were arranged in two rows, front and rear, on both sides of the road, and the muzzles of the black holes were turned one after another, aiming at the moving anti-aircraft guns of the Chinese army thousands of kilometers away.

"One door is ready......

"The second door is ready...... | Eight guns are ready...... "As the anti-aircraft gunners loaded the shells into place one by one, the main gunners of each gun began to report sharply one by one.

"Fire! Fire! Boom fuck bitch! With Zhang Xudong's order, the eight anti-aircraft guns suddenly began to roar.

The rate of fire of the "tom tom tom ......" anti-aircraft guns was very fast, and a series of muffled sounds suddenly sounded.

Dense anti-aircraft shells whistled towards the army like locusts flying in the sky. He was directing the artillery to move the battle defense artillery forward, and when Koizumi Mingzawa Shaoza saw this, his face was immediately full of horror.

"Yaga...!" Before Koizumi Mingze's roar fell, he was hit by a rapidly coming anti-aircraft shell, and with a loud bang, the whole person was suddenly blown to the ground, and the command knife in his hand was even more abandoned, and it fell more than ten meters away with the stump and broken arm.

"Ahhh......h

Due to the extremely fast rate of fire of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, the devil artillery did not have time to dodge at all, and they were hit one after another, and their bodies were torn to pieces by the powerful blast wave, and they were thrown into the air along with the firelight.

The four 37mm anti-aircraft guns were not spared, and under the powerful fire of the anti-aircraft guns of the Tiger Regiment, the pneumatic rubber wheels of the anti-aircraft guns were exploded, and the protective armor of the gun body was pierced through countless holes, and after losing tires, the anti-aircraft guns weighing nearly 400 kilograms collapsed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the anti-aircraft gunners shifted their muzzles and aimed at the devil infantry who were desperately resisting their armored fighting vehicles, and the steel bullets composed of extremely powerful anti-aircraft shells soon poured into the crowd of devil infantry.

Wherever the scarlet bullet rain went, the devil soldiers wailed and screamed one after another.

With the addition of eight anti-aircraft guns, the devil's resistance was even weaker, and at this moment, the deputy regiment commander Qiao Anguo also led the soldiers of the 123rd Infantry Battalion to arrive.

Without the slightest pause, Qiao Anguo immediately ordered the battalions to enter the battle, and after receiving reinforcements from the infantry, the armored company also increased its assault, and under the cover of the infantry, all the anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns fired at full fire and quickly advanced towards the position of the army.

In front of the powerful assault fire composed of nearly 200 anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns, Rao is devil infantry who had been brainwashed by the spirit of bushido also turned around and retreated hastily.

"Rush! Kill! Thousands of Tiger Regiment soldiers shouted in unison, followed the armored company all the way to assault, and launched an all-out attack on the devil.

At this point, there was no suspense in this battle, and about an hour later, the second battalion commander Cao Er led his guard platoon to surround Shiro Kawatani, who was trying to escape.

In the encirclement, Shiro Kawatani clenched the command knife in both hands and looked at the wolf-like Chinese soldiers around him with a wary expression.

It turned out that when he found that the rout could not be stopped, Shiro Kawatani wanted to retreat in the ironclad car, but unfortunately, before he could get on the car, the ironclad car was destroyed by the sudden heavy artillery fire.

Fat as a pig, he walked and ran no different from a turtle, and was soon chased by Cao Er with a platoon of guards and surrounded by soldiers.

"Second battalion commander, why don't you do it yet? What's the ink with the little devil? The commander of the first battalion, Kong Xiangjie, hurriedly arrived with a team of guards, and couldn't help urging when he saw this.

"Old Kong, you see this old devil is a big fish!" Cao Er pointed to Shiro Kawatani in the encirclement as if he were looking at prey.

Kong Xiangjie turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the general star on Shiro Kawatani's shoulder, and immediately said: "Damn, it's a major general, and it's really a fucking big fish!" No, second battalion commander, this time it will be divided! ”

"What? Deuce? Cao Er immediately shook his head to the rattle: "No, no, no, this is a prisoner of war from my second battalion." ”

"Second battalion commander, this defeat of the devil also has a credit from our battalion, right? No, it must be evenly divided! Kong Xiangjie protested dissatisfiedly.

"No difference!"

"Deuce!"

"That's guessing box!"

After a few arguments, the two of them played guessing boxing as if no one was around, and the soldiers present immediately burst into laughter when they saw this.

The two [***] officials in front of Shiro Kawatani didn't take themselves seriously at all, and they were immediately so angry that they burst into flames, roaring and rushing towards Kong Xiangjie and Cao Er with their command knives held high.

The two people who were guessing the fist raised the Thomson submachine gun in their right hands almost at the same time, and pulled the trigger without looking: "Da Da Da Da...... Dadada......" Two Chicago typewriters burst into a burst of gunfire, and the dense rain of bullets suddenly turned Shiro Kawatani into a hornet's nest.

"Damn, Lao Kong, why did you kill him?"

"There is an order for the regiment, no prisoners of war!"

"Deuce?!"|" No distinction!? ”

While the two were arguing, Qiao Anbang, together with the deputy head of the regiment, Qiao Anguo, and the guards of the guard company strode over.

"What's the noise?" Seeing that the two were arguing, Qiao Anbang strode forward and asked loudly.

"Tuanza!" Hearing this, the two hurriedly turned around and saluted.

"Hmm!" Qiao Anbang nodded, looked at the corpses behind the two, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Report to the regiment, my second battalion killed a major general of the Yue Army!" Cao Er replied first.

"Report to the regiment, kill the devil Major General, our battalion also has a part!" Kong Xiangjie took a step forward and replied unequivocally.

"Lao Kong, you are not kind, this devil major general was caught up and surrounded by my second battalion, your first battalion is just passing by, do you understand?" Cao Er was immediately dissatisfied and protested loudly.

"The brothers all watched it just now, and we Lao Kong also have a part in killing this devil major general." Kong Xiangjie turned his head to the crowd and asked, "Brothers, are you right?" ”

The officers and soldiers of the first battalion present responded in unison, Qiao Anbang immediately waved his hand to stop the soldiers, and said impatiently: "Why are there so many bad things, give you all the first and second battalions a credit, and when we return to our hometown, we will all be rewarded!" ”

As soon as Qiao Anbang's words fell, the officers and soldiers present raised their guns and cheered, Qiao Anbang did not pay attention to the cheers of the officers and soldiers, but turned his head Qiao Anguo and said: "Big brother, you stay and command the troops to clean up the battlefield, I will go to the communications company first, it's time to report to Chairman Jiang the news that we have continuously annihilated the marines and the Kawagu Brigade and our imminent march to Shanghai." ”

"Hmm!" Qiao Anguo wanted to say something, paused, but finally did not speak, and finally nodded silently.

"Big brother, what do you want to say?" Qiao Anbang saw that Qiao Anguo wanted to speak and stopped, and asked immediately.

Qiao Anguo stepped forward and pulled Qiao Anbang to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Anbang, now we only have 6,000 people, although there are enough ammunition, but are you really sure to recover Shanghai?" You must know that Chairman Chiang mobilized 100,000 troops of the central government and failed to completely annihilate the army that was cowering in Shanghai in the early stage, but there is a naval fleet of devils in Shanghai, and their naval artillery is enough to cover half of Shanghai Beach, can we do it? ”

"Big brother, don't worry, our march into Shanghai is just to mobilize the devil's major field divisions, and at the same time, it can greatly boost the morale and morale of the army and the people of our resistance, as long as the strategic purpose of mobilizing the enemy is achieved. And what about such an elite unit as strong as the Devil Marine Corps? Under the front of my Tiger Regiment, it is not that the whole army will be wiped out in an instant! Qiao Anbang patted Qiao Anguo's shoulder and said confidently: "Big brother, how to say it, brothers are united, its profits are broken, our father and hometown fathers are watching from the rear, not to mention anything else, we will kill the little devil corpses all over the field, in order to raise the prestige of my Chinese soldiers, let the world powers take a good look, this is the Chinese [***] team, and let the little devils know that we Chinese are by no means the sick men of East Asia!" ”

"Hmmm! Brothers work together to break the gold! Qiao Anguo nodded heavily when he heard this.

……………………… Wuhan, the leader of the line.

General He Yingqin, who is now Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Kuomintang, and Bai Chongxi, the current deputy chief of the General Staff of the National Military Commission, walked into Chairman Chiang's reception room together.

"Take a seat!" As soon as the two of them entered the door, they hurriedly stood up and saluted at the same time.

"Oh, Jingzhi, Jiansheng, you guys are here, come in and sit." Hearing this, Chairman Jiang hurriedly got up and waved his hand.

After the three of them sat down, Chairman Jiang handed over a telegram placed on the conference table to the two with a solemn face, and said, "This is a secret telegram sent by Colonel Qiao Anbang from Suzhou not long ago, you can take a look." ”

He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi read the message carefully, and after reading it, they looked different.

"How? What do you two think? After the two of them finished reading, Chairman Jiang immediately asked.

"Take a seat." He Yingqin was the first to speak: "I think that at present, the army may turn around and attack back to Nanjing at any time, and now that they have stopped attacking and the fighting is resting for a while, we should immediately withdraw all troops to Jiangbei." If we follow Qiao Anbang's advice to evacuate the people of the whole city, all the troops on the front line must hold on for at least half a month or even longer, then once the army turns around and attacks Nanjing again, then we will miss the best time to retreat, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"Hmm." Chairman Jiang nodded, turned his head to look at Bai Chongxi and asked, "Jiansheng, what do you think?" ”
