Chapter 180: Huaiquan Annihilated the 9th Division
"Division commander be careful!" On the mountain road leading to Yushan, Yoshika Ryosuke was fleeing in a hurry under the escort of Chief of Staff Nakagawa Hiroshi and others, and due to the rugged mountain road, Yoshika Ryosuke was unsteady under his feet and almost fell to the ground.
Nakagawa Hiroshi and the other two devil soldiers who followed him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, Ji Jia Ryosuke stabilized his figure, turned his head and looked down the mountain, only to see that the village at the foot of the mountain had turned into a sea of fire, especially in the defensive position area of the guard squadron on the periphery of the village, and a sky-high fire was ignited, and violent explosions sounded one after another, and the scarlet fire was raging everywhere.
Seeing this, Ji Jia Ryosuke's expression was gloomy for a while, his guard squadron must be wiped out this time, thinking of this, he raised his right foot and kicked it on a rock next to him, and said hatefully: "Damn the Chinese people!" ”
"General, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." Nakagawa Hiroshi hurriedly persuaded.
Yoshika Ryosuke snorted coldly, and immediately turned his head and continued to escape, and Nakagawa Hiroshi and the others hurriedly followed.
…………………… On the front line of Xiquan Town, after receiving a telegram for help from the division headquarters, the Ninth Cavalry Wing directly under the Ninth Division did not dare to slack off, and two chariot brigades and a cavalry brigade immediately rushed towards the direction of Yushan.
At the same time, the main force to save [***] took the 2nd Tank Regiment as the lead, bypassing Yushan and heading straight to Xiquan Town. Halfway through, it happened to encounter the cavalry wing of the Yue Army that came in a hurry, and the 2nd Tank Regiment did not hesitate, and the armored torrent composed of 75 tanks was like a steel giant beast wrapped in the momentum of destruction and crushed towards the Devil Cavalry Wing.
The two tank brigades of the devils hurriedly met the battle, and a Type 95 medium tank took the lead in firing its guns, and an armor-piercing bullet roared and hit a No. 4 tank that was galloping hundreds of meters away.
I saw that the two and four tanks continued to rush forward unscathed, and the armor-piercing shells fired by the devil tank only made the frontal armor of the No. 4 tank slightly dent a little, and failed to cause any real damage to the tank.
After being hit, the [***] armored soldier in the No. 4 tank was furious, and the commander scolded indignantly: "Aim at that army tank for Lao Tzu and beat him up badly!" ”
"Yes!" Several tank crews responded with a bang, and immediately began to reload, and soon locked onto a Type 95 tank that was already less than 200 meters away, and with the commander's order, the 75mm caliber tank gun of the No. 4 tank immediately opened fire.
A 75mm armor-piercing bullet with a long tail flame hit the Type 95 tank in an instant, and the extremely powerful armor-piercing bullet instantly penetrated the weak armor of the Type 95, and the hot bullet penetrated into the tank of the Japanese army, instantly detonating the ammunition box in the car, and the Type 95 tank exploded violently.
With a few loud bangs, the Type 95 tank burst into flames, and all the five devil tank crews inside were blown into pieces, and the flames burned brightly, illuminating the originally dark night sky.
The other tanks on both sides were not idle, and they fired at each other, but neither the devil's Type 95 tank nor the ** tank were powerless to destroy the thick and strong armor of the No. 4 tank, and every armor-piercing bullet of the No. 4 tank group that saved [***] could destroy a Japanese tank.
The tank could not be compared with the German No. 4 tank that swept across the European continent in terms of weight, volume and armor thickness, and as the distance approached, the tank crews of the armored brigade even slammed into the devil tank with full horsepower.
A tank battle, which was the largest since the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression but was not equal in strength, was staged here, and in just a few minutes, nearly 10 tanks of the Japanese army were destroyed.
At the same time, the Devil Cavalry Brigade, which already had the experience of the 13th Division, did not participate in this tragic tank battle, but bypassed the battlefield and rushed towards the [***] infantry that was gathering not far away.
Obviously, the devil cavalry regarded the main force of salvation [***] that had not yet completed the assembly as a lamb, in the eyes of the captain of the devil cavalry, in this unobstructed open field, the cavalry was definitely the nemesis of the infantry, although his cavalry brigade was only more than a thousand people, but it was enough to sweep the opposite side of the infantry.
However, the devil obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of saving [***], as well as the command ability of Qiao Anbang, a commander with more than 70 years of advanced thinking.
Seeing the devil cavalry swarming and Qiao Anbang, who did not go up to participate in the tank battle, immediately picked up the walkie-talkie in the tank and ordered the regiments: "Attention all regiments, immediately put the truck sideways, and rely on the truck to fight the devil cavalry with all its might, it may not be completely annihilated!" ”
After receiving Qiao Anbang's order, the automobile soldiers of each regiment turned around and laid hundreds of military trucks sideways around the dirt road, and hundreds of trucks were fortified layer by layer, forming huge obstacles on the highway that were difficult to overcome.
The infantry set up the MG34 general-purpose machine gun one after another, the rifleman also leaned on the truck to raise the pistol's semi-automatic rifle and submachine gun, Qiao Anbang sat leisurely in the tank and smoked a cigarette, although his tank was relatively forward, but it was this No. 4 tank, placed in front of the devil cavalry swarming with sabers, it was definitely the strongest fortress, and the devil cavalry could not use sabers to split the armor of the tank, right?
What's more, there are thousands of guns behind him, and he can only come to the devil cavalry to send him to death.
Due to the hazy night, and the fact that all the car lights had been turned off by the rescue [***] regiments, the devil cavalry did not notice that the Chinese infantry in front of them had changed, and under the leadership of the cavalry captain, they brandished sharp sabers and began to accelerate the sprint.
"Warriors, kill Quack! Rush up and kill all the people! Long live the Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor! The leader of the devil cavalry brigade brandished his saber and roared vigorously.
The more than 1,000 cavalry of the army behind him waved their swords and shouted wildly, swarming forward like a flood that burst the embankment.
Calculating that the devil was about within a range of two hundred meters, Qiao Anbang flicked the cigarette ash, picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a cold voice without expression: "Fight!" ”
His words were orders, and the next moment, the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time to save [***] opened fire one after another, and dozens of MG34 general-purpose machine guns burst out with amazing power, and dense bullets like a storm slashed their heads and faces and poured towards the devil cavalry.
"Ahhhh
The follow-up devil cavalry was not spared, the more they rushed forward, the more intensive the firepower to save [***], and some of the infantry who stayed in the rear of the convoy also moved forward with guns, relying on the truck to fire wildly at the devil cavalry.
The devil cavalry who rushed in a dense formation were knocked down in pieces like cutting wheat, and for a while, the screams of the devil cavalry, the sorrow of the war horses, and the dense gunfire were intertwined into a song of death.
I don't know how long it took, but the dense gunfire gradually stopped, and on the road, there were corpses of devils and war horses everywhere, and the whole road was full of corpses and rivers of blood.
Qiao Anbang was not in a hurry to hold the first few cigarettes in his hand, he had just extinguished the cigarette butts, and the excited voice of Li Yifeng, the commander of the first division, sounded on the walkie-talkie: "Report to the general seat, all the devil cavalry has been wiped out by our army, and there is no casualty in our army!" ”
As soon as Li Yifeng's words fell, the voice of Zhang Xudong, commander of the armored brigade, also came from the walkie-talkie: "General, our department has also completely annihilated the devil's armored troops, destroying a total of forty-eight enemy tanks. ”
"Hmm." Qiao Anbang nodded with satisfaction, the record of the Second Tank Regiment was expected by him, because, both sides had an absolute advantage in terms of the quality and quantity of tanks. After thinking about it, Qiao Anbang picked up the walkie-talkie and was very happy; Lang said: "Brothers, you are all good, give the order to go down, continue to attack, and defeat the Ninth Division for Lao Tzu, the honor belongs to us to save [***], long live the rescue [***] soldiers!" Long live the Chinese nation! ”
"Yes!" Li Yifeng and Zhang Xudong responded at the same time on the walkie-talkie.
In the next moment, the 1st Tank Regiment also annihilated more than 200 devils from the Guards Squadron directly under the Ninth Division who were defending the small mountain village, and rushed to join the main force.
Under the personal command of Qiao Anbang, two tank regiments and five and a half infantry regiments of nearly 20,000 troops rushed towards the position of the Ninth Division several miles away.
On the position of the Ninth Division, the devil had learned the news of the annihilation of the cavalry wing through the radio, and reported the news to the division commander Ji Jia Liangsuke, who had just escaped from Yushan by luck, and was angry, and immediately ordered the 6th and 18th brigades and the mountain artillery wing directly under the division to retreat to Shou County.
After seeing the soldiers who saved [***], coupled with the crushing defeat of the cavalry wing, Yoshika Ryosuke was deeply aware of the seriousness of the problem, and he knew that with the current strength in his hands, he would definitely not be able to resist the attack of the [***] team, because it was night, and the aviation regiment of the front army could not provide them with air power.
Without the support of the Air Force, the 9th Division was simply powerless to resist the attack of the flood of armor.
In Xiquan Town, Cao Er, the commander of the Second Division, who had already received Qiao Anbang's notice, led his subordinates to wait for half a night, and when the devils on the opposite side began to retreat, observers immediately came to report, and Cao Er immediately ordered the troops to attack the devils.
The Yue army, which was preparing to retreat, had no choice but to stop and resist the attack of the second division.
Soon the main force led by Qiao Anbang arrived to save [***], and the two tank regiments immediately launched a charge against the already confused army like a god soldier from the sky, with the addition of the tank regiment, the pressure of the ninth division doubled, and just when the battle situation was stalemate, the five infantry regiments that had been assembled launched a charge to the devil's position like a tide.
