Chapter Seventy-Four: Fighting the Fifth Division

Pang Bingxun stood on the city wall and looked at the rear of the Yue army in a daze, he didn't know what was going on in front of him, but one thing was certain, this was definitely not done by the Yue army himself. With his perennial military career, Pang Bingxun already knew the direction of the artillery attack on the artillery positions of the Yue Army, could it be the reinforcements of the 59th Army? But that doesn't seem to be right, the 59th Army should have come from the south, when did they go around to the rear of the Yue Army?

"Throne, reinforcements are coming?" A guard officer ran to Pang Bingxun's side, hid his body in the bunker on the city wall, and poked his head out to look at the situation of the army opposite.

"It shouldn't be Commander Zhang's 59th Army, we still had contact last night, Commander Zhang specially instructed us to hold on for at least one day, and the 59th Army will arrive here at night." Pang Bingxun also said suspiciously, the army in front had stopped attacking, and the sudden accident made them have to retreat into the defense line urgently and cower.

After seeing this situation, Pang Bingxun first breathed a sigh of relief, he claimed to be the 40th Army, but the actual strength was only five regiments, compared to the 99th Army, which was red through half the sky, it was estimated that the strength of his army was about the same as the strength of a brigade. However, Pang Bingxun did not give up the idea of the War of Resistance because of this, what about the few soldiers? Xiao said that we would be beaten, and it didn't matter if we could beat him or not, even if the whole army was wiped out, as long as we beat him.

"Who could that be? Except for the 59th Army that is coming, the surrounding friendly troops don't seem to have the energy to come to our aid, could it be the 99th Army that suddenly disappeared some time ago? When the guard officer saw the army retract from his position, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said while retracting his head.

The losses of the 40th Army in the shelling just now were not small, and the army was both artillery and aircraft, so how could the 40th Army be able to withstand it with its petite body? Originally, the 40th Army had already made a desperate posture this time, but who knew that it would suddenly make a move to bite the gold halfway?

"Baga, those idiots of HNA, didn't you say that there are no other Huaxia mobile troops around here? Who attacked us? In the headquarters of the Fifth Division, Seishiro Itagaki scolded angrily with a flushed face, and in just one artillery attack, he lost most of his artillery wing.

This is a shame that has never been seen since the beginning of the war, the Fifth Division, as the Empire's horse-pulling division, can only wantonly rub the Chinese troops on the battlefield in China, and the artillery of the division is even more powerful and invincible, when has it suffered such a humiliation? Last year's Heixingguan gave Itagaki Seishiro a headache.

Isn't it just that the baggage wing was attacked by someone, and it is necessary to show off with such fanfare? What else did he say about defeating the elite of the Fifth Division, which is also the reason why the Fifth Division became more and more ruthless in the later battles, Itagaki Seishiro really couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

"Division commander, could it be the Ninety-ninth Army that has just changed? The people of Tegaoke said that the 99th Army had appeared around Linyi a few months ago, and then mysteriously disappeared, and then neither other cities nor the gang of fools in HNA found their shadows. Major General Toshiji Miura, commander of the 21st Brigade, thought for a moment and immediately spoke.

"Baga, impossible, the Ninety-ninth Army does not have such powerful artillery, the artillery attack just now, the smallest caliber is estimated to be more than 100, how many artillery pieces of this caliber are there in the entire Huaxia army? It's all messed with by the stupid guys at HNA. Seishiro Itagaki slapped the table angrily again, but he was helpless.

Itagaki Seishiro was wondering which unit had attacked his troops, and Pang Bingxun, the commander of the 40th Army in Linyi City, also had the same doubts.

'Whoosh! Sou! ’

Before everyone could react, the follow-up shells followed, and before the troops had completely retreated to their positions, the second round of artillery attacks included them. The scouts of the 99th Army had already drawn the scope of the position of the Japanese army on the drawings, and the task of the artillery was very simple: to aim their guns at the positions of the Japanese army during the period before the infantry arrived at the positions.

"Colleagues, speed up the march, we will first run over and break through the position of the Japanese army, and then go directly into the depth, disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, and provide fire cover for the infantry brothers behind." Liu Guodong sat in a tank, holding a radio intercom and giving the latest orders to other tanks.

Liu Guodong really loves this kind of tank, not only the thickness of the armor is thicker than the original equipment, but also the marching speed is also very fast, and now the speed has reached 40 kilometers per hour, although it is not as good as the army tank and the previous tank, but with a 32-ton T-34, it is already very good to be able to run 40 kilometers. And what excited Liu Guodong the most was that this tank was actually equipped with an 85 mm tank gun.

What does 85mm mean? That's not just a question of the caliber of the tank gun, it's not just a matter of looking imposing. Instead, this kind of tank is used to fight against the tanks of the Japanese army, and the requirements for the gunner are too low, and the 85 mm tank gun, no matter where the shells hit when the cannon goes down, but if it hits the small beans of the Japanese army, then it is considered to have completed the task.

Just one cannon can solve all types of tanks currently equipped by the army, and the anti-tank guns of the army do not seem to have much impact on the T-34, as long as it does not directly break the tracks, or kill the tank driver, then this tank is currently invincible in the country.

"Commander, what do you see over there?" The guard officer looked behind him in horror and shouted with a changed face.

Pang Bingxun suddenly turned white when he saw the dust flying behind him, and he suddenly screamed and scolded in his heart. Now there are basically no armored forces in the country, and even if there are, they will not be used here. At the moment, Pang Bingxun actually felt a little desperate, if it was an infantryman, he would still be sure to carry it for a while, but as soon as this iron guy appeared, Pang Bingxun was not that sure.

"Let the soldiers pull our artillery to the position, and when the meeting is close, we can shoot as many as we can, and in addition, we are organizing a group of death squads, we must blow up the little devil's tank, otherwise we will kill more people." Pang Bingxun looked into the distance with some despair and commanded.

"Damn, if we had enough tanks, planes, and artillery, Lao Tzu would have beaten the devil back into his mother's womb." The guard officer cursed loudly and hurried down the tower to arrange for the artillery to enter the position and organize the death squad.

When encountering the enemy's tanks, the general troops must first pull out the anti-tank guns in the first time, but the 40th Army has no real anti-tank guns, not even many other artillery, and only more than a dozen earthen guns.

ps: Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, today's recommendation and collection are not powerful, only half of yesterday, which makes the ranger very puzzled.
