[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 459: What a big appetite (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Neither Kutani Tadaichi nor Sekihara Roku thought about whether a mere 77th Wing could block the attack of the Eighth Route Army, in their minds, using a wing as an outcast was enough to block the attack of the Shina people, even if the other party had more than a hundred chariots.

But is that really the case?

After receiving the order from the brigade headquarters, Ryosuke Fujimuro knew the fate of himself and his troops, who had been abandoned and became outcasts covering the retreat of the brigade headquarters. They had to block the chariot units of the Chinese with their flesh and blood, and they could retreat only if the brigade headquarters successfully crossed the Hunhe River.

Although it feels really bad to be abandoned, Ryosuke Fujimuro does not dare to disobey. The Japanese Army is as hierarchical as their society, and the subordinates have absolute obedience to the superiors! If the lower level rebels against the higher level, this is absolutely not allowed in Japanese society, let alone in a violent organ like the army! Daring to resist your superiors in Japan is a dead end, and you can't get along at all! What's more, the essence of the spirit of bushido is the absolute obedience of subordinates to their superiors, and they can sacrifice everything for the sake of their superior leadership and the interests of Japan as a whole!

Thinking of this, Fujimuro Ryosuke did not hesitate too much, and immediately ordered his headquarters to fortify on the spot and use all the available terrain to block the attack of the Shina chariot troops. To this end, Fujimuro Ryosuke also deliberately identified the 9th squad with the strongest fighting will in the wing, and asked each of them to carry a cluster grenade and an explosive bag, so that if necessary, they could launch a suicide attack on the Shina tank unit to protect the entire wing.

To tell the truth, Ryosuke Fujimuro was not afraid of the infantry of the Eighth Route Army behind, but was extremely afraid of the powerful shock ability of the armored forces. However, he knew very well that the tanks of the Eighth Route Army were all light tanks made in the empire, not only the armor was very thin, but the tracks were also very fragile, not to mention anti-tank mines, even cluster grenades could blow up the tracks of the tank, and if there was an explosive package, it could directly destroy the tank.

If the 77th Wing became the outcast of the 39th Brigade, then the 9th Squad was the outcast of the 77th Wing. Similarly, the 9th Squad did not resist and faithfully carried out the orders of the Wing Headquarters.

But what everyone didn't expect was that after Ma Zheng's armored unit broke through the Japanese armored force, the army continued to advance, but just when the ninth squad of the 77th Wing approached Ma Zheng's armored regiment under the cover of the rest of the troops, the mechanized infantry regiment that had been following the armored regiment made a move.

I saw soldiers armed with "weird" guns cross the armored unit and pull the trigger towards the approaching Japanese troops, and the powerful firepower instantly tore sixty or seventy Japanese soldiers to pieces, and then the army continued to crush the defense line of the Japanese 77th Wing.

Under the combination of armored regiments, mechanized infantry regiments and rocket launcher units, a Japanese infantry wing was so vulnerable that more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers could not even bring the assault force to a halt, and the position was torn apart.

This is of course because of the strong firepower of the assault force, but it is also related to Ma Zheng's choice of battlefield. Due to its proximity to the banks of the Hunhe River, the terrain here is gentle, and there are no steep places to choose from. And this kind of terrain is most suitable for the chariot troops to charge, and it is normal for the Japanese army to rush to the battle and be torn apart.

What Ryosuke Fujimuro didn't expect was that after Ma Zheng's armored troops tore through their positions, they did not stop after killing and wounding a large number of his wings, including the powerful infantry, and continued to attack forward.

At this time, Fujimuro Ryosuke's heart was completely cold, and the appetite of the people of China was not satisfied with a complete wing of his, and he wanted to swallow the entire 39th Brigade in one bite, and the people of China had such a big appetite.

However, just as he was about to order the remnants of the army to continue the attack, bite the tail of this Chinese army and drag them to the battlefield. However, he heard fierce gunfire coming from the front again, and it turned out that it was the second brigade of the integrated 1st Division commanded by the Eighth Route Army rushing up.

Under the impact of more than 10,000 people, the remaining more than 1,000 remnants of Fujimuro Ryosuke were wiped out without even making a splash, and the entire infantry wing, except for 136 people who were captured, no one escaped.

Speaking of Sekihara No. 6 and others, after giving the order to retreat, Major General Sekihara No. 6 led an infantry wing and an artillery wing under his command, as well as some directly subordinate troops, to urgently retreat to the bank of the Hunhe River. On the way, they received a telegram from the division headquarters, saying that the division headquarters and the main force of the 40th Division had crossed the Hunhe River and were preparing to join them.

In fact, there was no need for the division headquarters to send a report to Guan Yuanliu to see the mighty imperial army troops on the north bank of the Hunhe River, after all, the Fushanzhuang position was only less than five kilometers away from the north bank of the Hunhe River. And the troops trotted forward, five to seven minutes for a normal person is enough to run a kilometer, at this time they have only withdrawn from the front line for more than 20 minutes, at this time the Sekigahara No. 6 Department is only less than a kilometer away from the pontoon bridge on the bank of the Hunhe River, so they can see the situation by the river at a glance through the telescope.

Seeing that the main force of the division was crossing the river in a disorderly manner, and a large number of troops had gathered on the bank that had already crossed the Hunhe River, Major General Sekihara was shocked. There are now at least more than 7,000 troops on the north bank of the river, and counting the more than 5,000 people they have withdrawn, that is to say, there are at least 12,000 people on the north bank of the river now. How could it be possible for such a large number of troops to cross the Hunhe River in a short period of time, and if the 77th Wing could not hold back the armored forces of the Chinese people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Without saying a word, Sekihara immediately ordered the telegraph soldiers to continue to send reports to the division and regiment headquarters, and asked the division headquarters to immediately order the troops to speed up their return to the other side of the river, so as not to be attacked by the chariot troops of the Chinese people.

However, less than two minutes after the telegram was sent, a rumbling sound was heard from behind, and then a bright color appeared in their sight.

Guan Yuanliu's face suddenly turned unusually pale, in stark contrast to the red battle flag. Major General Sekihara knew that the 77th Wing was over, otherwise the chariot unit of the Shina people would not have appeared here.

And the Chinese pursued them at this time, which shows that the goal of the Chinese is not just to eliminate the 77th Wing, they are ready to eat his entire 39th Brigade, and even the entire 20th Division.

Looking at the main force of the division that was still pushing and shouting by the pontoon bridge, Guan Yuanliu gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Listen to my order, the whole army immediately turns to the defense on the spot, and buys time for the division and regiment headquarters to cross the river, quickly!" ”

In the midst of the panic, the Japanese 39th Brigade turned into a defensive state. Including an infantry wing and an artillery wing, more than 5,000 people formed a long snake formation in front of the assault brigade under Ma Zheng's headquarters.

Seeing that he had finally caught up with the Japanese army, the Huyan soldiers in the armored command vehicle were in a cool mood, and ordered loudly: "Flag those guys in the back and order them to speed up, the enemy is in front!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, Huyanbing's assault brigade reached the range of 300 in front of the Japanese position, and at this time, the Japanese artillery had also built a position less than 100 meters behind the infantry and was adjusting the artillery.

Through the binoculars, the Huyan soldiers also discovered that there was an even larger force less than a kilometer behind the Japanese position, and they were actually crossing the river and returning from the north bank of the river to the south bank of the Hunhe River.

At this time, Hu Yanbing was in a hurry, thinking that he had bitten a big fish, but he didn't expect that there would be a bigger whale behind the big fish. What's more important is that now the whales are going to escape, how can this be. Once the Japanese crossed the Hunhe River and blew up the pontoon bridge, their armored forces would have nothing to do with those little devils.

After this discovery, Hu Yanbing was not verbose, and immediately ordered the commander to immediately wave the flag to the tankers around him, and ordered the troops to immediately charge the Japanese position, and then directly penetrate the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Hunhe River. Huyan soldiers can see clearly, there are not many Japanese troops on the opposite side, as long as they break through the Japanese positions in one fell swoop, then the mechanized infantry regiment that follows behind is enough to cripple this Japanese army, and the task of their armored regiment is to rush to the bank of the Hunhe River to blow up the pontoon bridges and prevent the Japanese army from crossing the river.
