Chapter 79: Three Cities in a Row (4)
"Rush...... Kill, ......," in the night, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, let out a tsunami-like cry and followed the armored combat vehicles to charge at the devils.
Forty-nine armored fighting vehicles opened fire one after another, and the dense rain of bullets formed a series of dazzling tongues of fire that crisscrossed and rushed towards the devil soldiers who hurriedly threw down their hoes and pickaxes.
Under the fierce fire of hundreds of vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, the desperate devil soldiers were thrown to the ground in pieces.
Some of the spirited devil soldiers hurriedly lay down, temporarily dodging the dense rain of bullets whistling overhead.
Just as these devils pulled the bolts of their guns and were about to raise their heads to shoot, a rapid "whistle" suddenly sounded in the sky, and suddenly, a dazzling ball of fire drew an arc in the night sky and roared towards the devil's position.
"Boom...... ......The mortars and grenadiers of the infantry battalions arrived with supporting fire, and the dense steel rain fell on the devil's position and exploded violently.
The devil soldiers who were hiding in the trenches I had just dug out were suddenly hit by the raging flying shrapnel, and countless dusty and mud in the firelight were thrown high along with the stumps and broken arms of the devils, and the dazzling firelight illuminated the dark night sky.
After receiving the fire support of the artillery, Zhang Xudong immediately ordered all the armored fighting vehicles to advance at full speed, and hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns and vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns opened fire with all their might, pouring bullets and rain of bullets at the devil's position at an extremely terrifying speed.
As the artillery fire began to extend, the armored vehicles quickly advanced outside the first-line trenches of the devils, and some lucky undead devil soldiers suddenly jumped up from the trenches to try to destroy the Chinese tanks.
But before they could rush out a few steps, they were swept into a sieve by the terrible and dense bullets, and they fell to the ground unwillingly.
Behind the devil's position, after witnessing the strong combat effectiveness of the ** armored assault force of the opposite squadron, Shinichi Harano, who was commanding the troops to block desperately, shouted at the adjutant behind him: "Mizumi-kun, immediately send a telegram to General Kunisaki, our department was attacked by the armored forces of the Shina Army and suffered heavy losses, please give support and emergency tactical guidance immediately!" ”
"Hay!" Junichiro Miizumi bowed his head suddenly, and was about to turn away, only to see a fireball dragging a tail flame several meters long and smashing down.
"Captain be careful...... "Junichiro Mizumi hurriedly jumped and threw Shinichi Harano, who was roaring and commanding the troops, to the ground, and at the moment when the two of them fell to the ground, the fireball roared down and exploded immediately, with a loud bang, the fire flashed, and a dirt pit was blown out not far from the two of them.
Shaking his head to shake off the dirt splashing on his head, Junichiro Mizumi helped Shinichi Harano staggered to his feet and asked with concern, "Captain, are you okay?" ”
Yuan Ye's face was already dark, and he waved his hand with some difficulty: "I'm fine, hurry up and generate electricity." ”
"Hai ......" Junichiro Miizumi nodded sharply again, then turned around and walked away quickly.
Yuan Ye Shinichi slowly turned his head, only to see that at this time, a large number of Chinese soldiers had poured into his own forward positions, and the dozens of armored combat vehicles that had made the imperial army suffer were easily advancing through the trenches that the imperial army had painstakingly dug.
"Bagaya Road, stop them!" Yuan Ye roared in frustration. Due to the rush of time, the trenches they dug were simply unable to stop the advance of the American-style tracked tanks with a body of several meters.
Under the urging of Shinichi Harano, hundreds of devil soldiers jumped out of the trenches with explosive packs or cluster grenades in an attempt to destroy the surging Chinese armored vehicles.
However, as soon as they got up, they were hit head-on by a torrential rain of machine-gun bullets, and the locust-like whistling bullets immediately knocked the devil soldiers who jumped out of the trench to the ground in groups.
Several devil grenadiers hurriedly crouched down and fired melon grenades at the rushing Chinese armored vehicles in front of them.
"Tom tom tom ......tom" a few muffled sounds, and a few melon grenades flew towards several armored combat vehicles with a whistling sound.
I saw a flash of fire, "Boom-boom!" With a few loud bangs, the two armored combat vehicles that rushed to the front were suddenly stopped, and such a close distance was absolutely 100% accurate for a well-trained devil grenadier.
Several melon grenades landed on the bodies of the two M3A1 armored vehicles, the drivers of the vehicles were injured, and several machine gunners on board were hit by raging shrapnel and died heroically.
"Little devils, brothers, rush up to me, kill them all, and avenge the dead brothers!" Seeing this, Zhang Xudong, commander of the reconnaissance company sitting in the co-pilot's seat, couldn't help but roar into the walkie-talkie.
After receiving the order, the armored soldiers rushed towards the center of the devil at a faster speed, and the machine gunners turned their guns and swept at the devil grenadiers, and the rainstorm of machine gun bullets tore several devil grenadiers who could not dodge into pieces in an instant.
With the rapid advance of the armored vehicles, the officers and soldiers of the infantry battalions that followed up also accelerated their pace.
…………………………
In the county town of Gaochun, after several hours of rapid marching, Sadao Nakajima finally led the main force of the 18th Division to Gaochun.
After entering the city, Nakajima Sadao set up his division headquarters in the center of the city, the original garrison headquarters, and as soon as the radio station of the division headquarters was set up, a communications staff officer reported to Nakajima Sadao with a telegram: "General, the Kunisaki detachment is calling. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Nakajima Sadao asked in surprise: "Kunisaki-kun went there, why is there only one infantry squad in Gaochun Castle?" ”
"Returning to the general, Kunizaki Noboru said in the telegram that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army has successively captured the two cities of Lishui and Liyang, and is currently south of Liyang and encountered the Fifth Supplementary Wing of the Imperial Army, and at present, Guo Qi Noboru is leading the 41st Wing on the way to the road, and Kunizaki Noboru asked the general to send reinforcements as soon as possible, and cooperate with them to eliminate the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army in one fell swoop."
"What? The Chinese Tiger Regiment captured Lishui and Liyang counties? Sadao Nakajima was shocked when he heard this.
"Yes, General." The communications staff nodded in reply.
"Yaga! This branch of the army is cunning and dripping! Nakajima Sadao pondered for a moment and then said coldly: "Order the 56th Wing and the 124th Wing to set off immediately, rush to Liyang, and destroy the Tigers at all costs!" ”
"But, General, we've run out of fuel, and all our motorcycles, trucks, and armored vehicles are now out of action, and we don't have much ammunition." The communications staff officer said with an embarrassed face.
"When you run out of fuel, let's go on foot! I'll urge Commander Yagyu to replenish our supplies as soon as possible!" Sadao Nakajima said with a heavy face. Thinking of the large number of war materials in Gaochun County that were burned by the Tiger Ben, he felt extremely painful.
"Hay!" The communications staff officer bowed his head sharply, and then took the order to leave.
……………
On the highway from Lishui to Liyang, Kunisaki Noboru led the 41st Infantry Wing along the road, at this moment Kunisaki Noboru's mood can be said to be very anxious, after comprehending the strength of the Tiger Regiment several times, he was very worried about the situation of the Fifth Supplementary Wing, and now his only hope is that the Tiger Ben Regiment will not find the Fifth Supplementary Wing too early.
However, the idea is beautiful, and the reality is indeed very cruel.
With a sudden brake, the armored command car in which Noboru Kunisaki was riding suddenly stopped, and Yasuda Tani Sansa, who was sitting on the side, opened the car door and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Report to the general, there is an urgent telegram from Shinichi Harano, the fifth supplementary wing has been raided by the armored forces of the Shina Army, the situation is extremely urgent, and I request the general's rapid support." The devil communication soldier standing outside the car hurriedly stood up and reported.
Hearing this, Kunizaki was stunned for a moment, and said with a miserable expression: "It's over, the fifth supplementary wing is over......"
