Chapter 20 Like Crushing a Bedbug

An aerial bomb of this level would be at least 500 pounds to have such damage. Junichi felt that he was finished, and the more than two hundred imperial planes at Shanghai Airport were finished.

More than a dozen screaming Reaper JU87s quickly made the Shanghai airport run to complete scrap, and the aviation guns on the airport did not cause any damage to the JU87. Now it was the turn of the BF109 performance, these advanced fighters began to attack the planes docked at the airport, and the anti-aircraft guns at the airport, what to see, what to attack, less than ten minutes of attack, so that the entire Shanghai airport burst into flames, all the planes and oil depots were all on fire, and even the entire night sky was reflected red.

This is not over, and then the Soviet horizontal bombers completely destroyed the entire airport, the Soviet horizontal bombers with two tons of ammunition, bombing with impunity, the searchlights of the Japanese airfield have long been out of power because of the fire, and it is completely blind to the sky.

The air raid destroyed more than 200 Japanese planes at the site, completely blew up a large Japanese military airfield and two field airfields, and more than 300 planes parked in Taiwan survived, but the Japanese army no longer had an airport available in Shanghai, and it was completely impossible to repair the airfield under the situation of having comprehensive air supremacy.

This air raid can be successful, the first is that this is a battle on Chinese soil, the Chinese navigators can find the exact location of the airport according to the contours of the terrain, the second is that the Japanese planes Type 96 simply do not have the conditions for night air combat, the third is that the Chinese side is fully prepared, the fourth Japanese army is arrogant and unprepared, combined with the previous reasons, the Japanese army was attacked by a sneak attack, the historical Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese airfield was also sneak attacked, hundreds of fighters were destroyed on the ground, and it was still in the daytime, The anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese army was really not flattering.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of December 28, 1937, Rommel led the armored division trained by himself, starting from Zhenjiang, and began to launch an armored assault on the Japanese army more than 20 kilometers away. Some armored cars still have artillery of various calibers behind them, and the entire 58th Armored Division is just soldiers on the wheels of cars, and none of the 11,817 people in the division are on foot and 100 percent mechanized.

Behind Rommel were two standard German infantry divisions, each with 16,860 men and a total of more than 30,000 people, under the guidance of several armored vehicles, and more than 700 armored vehicles followed behind Rommel, and they were to annihilate the Japanese troops scattered by Rommel.

Behind them are the 36, 87, 88 and teaching corps of the Central Army, more than 70,000 elite **, thoroughly cleaning the battlefield, or the Japanese army besieging cities and strong fortifications, behind them are various local miscellaneous troops, they are here to clean up the battlefield, the weapons of these troops are not good, it is not bad to be able to use more weapons of small Japan!

In the air is Hartmann's aviation regiment, divided into three waves of continuous take-off support, JU87 "Screaming Death" will clear the main obstacle for the assault of the armored division, the 500 kg of aerial bombs carried by this aircraft, the field fortification group hastily built by the Japanese army is slag in front of him, a bomb can destroy a large area, and the Japanese army and fortifications are instantly wiped out.

The armored division commanded by Rommel soon encountered the Japanese army, which was the Japanese tank wing, which was ready to be used to attack Zhenjiang, and now the Japanese army did not attack the timid Chinese army, but let the Chinese army roll back, which made the Japanese tank unit feel ashamed, and the Japanese tank wing began to hedge with Rommel under the command of its wing commander Ampere Jinshan.

Rommel was sitting in the first tank at this time, this was a No. 4 tank, Rommel carefully observed the distance of the Japanese tank through the rangefinder, the Chinese tanks were slightly more than the Japanese, the Japanese army was all Type 89 and Type 97 tanks, the total weight was ten tons and fifteen tons, the caliber of the artillery was about the same, using 37 mm and 57 mm guns respectively, but the power was not as good as the German goods.

When the Japanese tank was discovered, Rommel began to call for air support, and then ordered his artillery to be fully deployed, which had been trained for a long time, and was prepared within three minutes, and when Rommel's artillery was deployed, the distance between Rommel and the Japanese tank was only two thousand meters, and the Chinese air force roared at this time.

Thirty fighters, some strafing the Japanese infantry, some looking for the enemy's artillery positions, and ten JU87 dive bombers, against the Japanese tanks began to dive, as long as the bomb was dropped within 30 meters of the Japanese tank, the shock wave was overturned by the Japanese army's thin-skinned tank, and all the personnel inside were killed, more than a dozen 500 kg aerial bombs turned more than 20 Japanese tanks into bonfires, and the Japanese tank charge formation was completely disrupted, in order to avoid air raids, some were reversing frantically, and some were desperately driving forward, And Rommel's tank was quietly waiting in front for the Japanese tank to enter the firing range of a thousand meters.

Suddenly, countless clouds of smoke rose around the Japanese tanks, and countless shells fell around the Japanese tanks, which was Rommel's artillery speaking, and in the first salvo, only a few Japanese tanks were hit and caught fire, while the rest of the tanks were even more frantically scurrying.

Finally, more than 50 Japanese tanks rushed out of the range covered by the artillery, and what they wanted was to rush into the tank as soon as possible, and fight with the tank to make the artillery and aircraft ineffective, in fact, this tactic was not wrong at this time, but in front of Rommel, they could only deliver food.

When the Japanese tanks entered the firing range of one thousand meters, Rommel gave the order, and most of the tanks fired shells, and the Japanese tanks that rushed out of the artillery range did not even have a chance to fire, and were beaten into a blazing torch, accompanied by a violent explosion, which was much better than fireworks.

"The artillery stops firing, and the whole army assaults."

Rommel saw that the Japanese army was in chaos, and took the opportunity to launch a full-army assault, and the remaining more than 60 Japanese tanks had no chance to escape now, Rommel's No. 4 tank made a frontal assault and destroyed all moving armored targets, while all the No. 3 tanks, because of their high speed, surrounded them in two directions, and the Japanese artillery and air force did not play a little role, and the Japanese army's tank wing had more than 100 tanks. The end was only in the moment.

"Put" With Rommel's order, the gunner pulled down the firing device, and the 50-millimeter tank gun was ready to hit a Japanese tank fleeing in front, and the tank exploded at that time, and with a "boom" brought the turret into the sky, and then smashed it to the ground.

Another Japanese tank desperately fired an armor-piercing shell at Rommel's mount, hitting the front of Rommel's No. 4 tank, and the "dong" shell was ejected, although the Japanese shell did not penetrate Rommel's tank, but it still scared Rommel into a cold sweat, and the Japanese tank was also hit by another No. 4 tank and caught fire.

Ten minutes later, the Japanese tanks were completely surrounded, and the Japanese infantry tried to come up to support the tanks, but they were also blocked by Rommel's artillery, and there were even air strafing aircraft, and the Japanese infantry could not get close to their tanks at all, and could only watch the destruction of the tank wing.

More than 100 tanks of the Japanese tank wing of the Japanese tank wing, none of which escaped, were completely annihilated by Rommel, the largest tank battle in the counterattack stage of the Battle of Songhu ended, the Chinese side completely annihilated more than 100 tanks of the Japanese tank wing with the full support of tanks and artillery aircraft, while the Chinese side lost only five No. 3 tanks, two were destroyed, and three were damaged and withdrew from the battle.

At this time, the 300,000 Japanese troops in Shanghai will not have any armored force, Rommel did not stop and continue to assault the Japanese army, the field fortifications built by the Japanese army in a hurry, there are not even anti-tank trenches, how can it be possible to block the assault of an entire armored division, the Japanese troops in front of Rommel were directly crushed, those Japanese soldiers who dared to die, wanted to blow up the tanks with explosives bags, the machine guns on Rommel's 96 armored vehicles, and the infantry following behind the tanks, directly beat the Japanese troops of these death squads into a sieve.

In front is Changzhou City, of course, Rommel will not be stupid to use tanks to fight street battles with Little Japan, directly bypassing Changzhou City, leaving it to the brother troops behind, Rommel's task is to assault, in the assault.

At this time, the two cities of Wuxi and Jiangyin also desperately launched a counterattack, along the trenches of the national defense line, Zhang Jun considered it when the Xideng line was built, only in the face of Shanghai there are perforations in the direction of Nanjing, and against Jiangyin and Wuxi is a straight traffic trench, there is no blockage, now these counterattack squadrons, twice as many troops as the Japanese army, and the strength of the concentrated attack on one side, and the Japanese army each city with 50,000 people to surround, divided into each line of defense can have a few hundred people even good, the art of war is doubled and surrounded, The Japanese army was so arrogant that only half of the defenders began to encircle, I really don't know how death is written, and it is not unreasonable to say that the mourning soldiers will win.

Wuxi and Jiangyin's Xideng line is gradually encircled, this time even Danyang's Matsui Shigen is also very anxious, Matsui Shigen knew that ** formed an armored army, but this army has just begun to form, and has not been on the battlefield, why does it suddenly have such a strong combat power now?

If the 200,000 Japanese troops are surrounded and annihilated by the squadron, then Matsui Ishine will only end up with seppuku, "No, you must do your best to save your troops." ”

Matsui Shigen picked up the phone and directly knocked down Taipei Airport, and directly ordered:

"Ryuzo Takenaka, I order you to immediately and fully support the army under Changzhou City, now there is a branch of the Chinese armored division that poses a serious threat to the Imperial Japanese Army, I order you to destroy it at all costs."
