Chapter 1434 is a complete victory in the battle

Wuxi, on the shore of the picturesque Lihu Lake, is an inconspicuous two-story quaint building in the Liyuan Garden of Qingqi Village. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the location of the new headquarters of the Third Theater after the Suzhou Lingering Garden was frequently visited by Japanese fighters.

At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, in the small conference room on the second floor of the small building, General An Yi, chief of staff of the theater, stood by a large map of China, facing Feng Yuxiang, commander of the theater, Gu Zhutong, deputy commander of the theater, Chen Cheng, former commander-in-chief of the enemy in the eastern Zhejiang theater, and Zhang Zhizhong, commander-in-chief of the Songhu theater, to explain in detail the current strategic situation.

In view of a series of changes in the third war zone, Feng Yuxiang took the initiative to convene the highest level meeting in the war zone to discuss countermeasures, so An Yi had to let go of his work and rush from Nanxiang to Wuxi with Zhang Zhizhong.

After the Japanese captured Fenghua City on the 19th, the two divisions of the Tenth Army deployed on Tiantai Mountain were flanked by the Japanese army in the north and south, although they fought stubbornly, but finally broke up on the night of the 20th, and the Japanese army took advantage of the situation to attack Xikou and occupied the key pass west of Xikou in one fell swoop. At this point, the Japanese army took advantage of the natural hazards formed by Siming Mountain and Tiantai Mountain to successfully block the gorge leading to the Ningshao Plain in the west, and confronted the New Seventh Division of the 49th Army that used the Hunan-Jiangxi and Zhejiang-Jiangxi railways to quickly advance to the front line of Shaxi Town east of Shengzhou. Fortunately, the people of Fenghua City and Xikou Town have been successfully transferred, and the Japanese army has not obtained any strategic materials, and all they have is empty towns, especially the family of the chairman of the committee has been preserved.

"Look at the southern front again, the Japanese army assembled two mixed brigades, successively occupied Miaoshuang, Yueqing, Nanxi (now Yongjia), Xianju county north of the Oujiang River, still not satisfied, many times tried to force the Oujiang River, in order to occupy our Wenzhou port, was defeated by our river defense troops, at present, the first group army 49th Army New Eighth Division, has been day and night rushed to Lishui, is expected to be able to cross the Kuocang Mountain, into the Wenzhou city in three days, then this line of Japanese troops will no longer have to worry.

According to the reconnaissance results of our special forces, the Japanese army has invested five divisions, 11 mixed brigades and a large number of mechanized troops in Zhejiang, which is equivalent to about 200,000 troops, plus 100,000 Japanese troops on the Songhu front, and our theater alone bears 300,000 Japanese troops. So far, the Japanese army in eastern Zhejiang has sent one division and four mixed brigades to the front line in Hangzhou, and four mixed brigades to the southern front and Fenghua directions.

Therefore, in the next step, the pass between the Huiji Mountains and the Siming Mountains west of Shaoxing, Xiaoshan and south of Shangyu will be the main direction of the Japanese army's attack. Ladies and gentlemen, once the Japanese army crossed Huiji Mountain and Siming Mountain, Zhuji, Toupai, Yiwu, Shengzhou, Xinchang, Dongyang, Yongkang, Jinhua and other places were placed under the direct threat of the Japanese army, and then the eastern Jiangxi and southern Anhui regions were also in danger of being attacked by the Japanese army. Therefore, strengthening the defense of western Zhejiang has become a matter of urgency at present. ”

As An Yi's voice fell, a slight discussion sounded in the conference room.

At present, in the entire Third Theater, except for An Yi's First Group Army, Liu Jianxu's Tenth Group Army has almost been wiped out in an organized manner, Zhang Fakui's Eighth Group Army has lost most of its strength after days of hard fighting, Chen Cheng's 15th Group Army has also suffered heavy losses, and the situation of the newly formed Gu Zhutong Fifth Group Army is slightly better, but the Fifth Group Army is Chen Cheng's only hope for holding the mountains of Hangzhou and Hangzhou.

In fact, everyone attending the meeting today knows that the crux of the problem lies in the National Defense Conference and in the National Defense Conference. Because Chiang Kai-shek was still counting on *** to succumb to the pressure of the League of Nations and choose to cease war with China, the million-strong army in North China, when the Japanese army withdrew from the Pingjin area, could go north in one fell swoop, recover all areas in Guannai, and achieve the great cause of recovering the anti-Japanese plan and leaving a name in history, so he has been hesitant.

Gu Zhutong thought for a while and suggested: "Xiao Yi, the Military Commission has approved your request to form the New Eighth Army with the 68th Division as the editor-in-chief, and now that all fronts are tight, it is better to transfer the New Eighth Army to the front line in western Zhejiang, what do you think?" Chief of Staff Yin Jinan of the First Theater felt that he could not control the whole army, and yesterday he submitted his resignation to the commission, and after thinking about it for many times, the committee finally decided to appoint Chief of Staff Yin as director of the Nanchang camp to take charge of party, government, and military affairs in the central and eastern regions of Jiangxi, to defend the national territory, and appease the localities.

"The Nanchang camp was restored, but there was not a single soldier in his hands, which was too obscene and ugly, and the faces of the commissioners and the military commission were also gloomy, and the new Eighth Army was temporarily transferred to the Nanchang camp to enrich the strength of the camp, so it was an explanation to the central and local governments. Xiao Yi, what do you think? ”

An Yi scolded for a while, where is Yin Jinan's lack of ability, it is clearly that he is the group of arrogant generals, who do not listen to the command and dispatch at all. After the robbery incident occurred on the 18th, Yin Jinan immediately flew from Shijiazhuang to Baoding, and asked all ministers to immediately investigate the matter thoroughly, and bring the relevant leaders to justice, in order to set an example.

Chiang Kai-shek also felt sorry for An Jiajun in this matter, and not only generously gave the New Eighth Army the official establishment, but also waved his hand to restore the Nanchang camp that had been abolished after the Red Army went north in three or five years, and at the same time asked Dai Li to call and hint that An Yi knew what he meant when he heard the song, and immediately appointed Colonel Chiang Ching-kuo, who is now the deputy commander of the armed police force in Syria, to go to Nanchang immediately to serve as the secretary general of the Nanchang Xingying Major General, responsible for the party, government, and administrative affairs of the Xingying.

Chiang Ching-kuo has been greatly stimulated in Syria for more than a month, and he never imagined that in poor and backward China, where there is still a place with such a high degree of industrialization and such an enlightened and advanced education and ideology among the people, after he arrived as deputy commander of the armed police force in Syria, he did not do his job properly, but ran to factories and enterprises every day, and then went deep into the cities and villages, and wrote what he had seen and heard into a 100,000-word long work and sent it to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek was greatly pleased, and felt that he should let his son understand what he had understood, and practice and explore it in reality, but the provincial chairman and the provincial director of civil affairs and other positions, generally not senior people can not hold, Chiang Ching-kuo will steal this high position when he enters the official career, fearing that he will be criticized, only by continuing to serve in the army can he be exempted from this shackle, so he pondered where to put Chiang Ching-kuo, Yin Jinan's resignation, and the sudden deterioration of the situation in Jiangnan, just gave him inspiration, so under the clever arrangement, Chiang Ching-kuo was appointed by An Yi, the *** Chiang Kai-shek, who was outside the central military and political system, was transferred to Nanchang, which had a certain industrial base, to serve as the secretary general of the camp, and Chiang Kai-shek could also test whether his son could be of great use through Chiang Ching-kuo's industrial and agricultural planning of the old Nanchang directly under the camp.

Of course, the mystery of this, everyone else in the conference room is at a loss, and only An Yi knows it, but this is a family affair related to Chairman Jiang, who dares to leak it easily?

An Yi pondered and nodded: "Okay, I agree." However, it is not a way to always defend passively like this, this railway bridge spans the Qiantang River, and the Japanese army can easily dispatch troops to frequently attack Hangzhou and the mountains of western Hangzhou, and the hinterland of our Jiangnan Plain is threatened by it from time to time, and I am ready to send fighters to blow up the Qiantang River Bridge, and then eat up the Japanese army on the north bank of the Qiantang River in one fell swoop. ”

Chen Cheng smiled bitterly: "Actually, I have long wanted to blow up the Qiantang River Bridge, but the report was sent to the Military Commission, and there was no conclusion in the vote at the national defense meeting...... This bridge cost 1.6 million US dollars, has a number of world-leading technology, embodies the efforts of countless people, is one of the two wonders of the world today, it is a pity to destroy it, I estimate that it is difficult for the central officials to pass a resolution to blow up the bridge......"

"It's okay!"

An Yi waved his hand: "The war situation is urgent, let's blow up the bridge first, and eat the Japanese troops stranded on the north bank of the Qiantang River in one go." I promise that after the war, my company will be responsible for repairing the bridge, and the top priority at the moment should be to destroy the living forces of the Japanese army.

"As long as the 50,000 Japanese troops on the north bank are wiped out in one fell swoop, it will be enough to blow the morale of the Japanese troops invading China, strengthen and encourage the determination of our people to resist Japan, and at the same time relieve the embarrassment of our third theater of operations, and then concentrate superior forces to better destroy the enemy. With such a beautiful thing in one fell swoop, I think the central government will understand! ”

"Wonderful, wonderful! Since the Japanese army landed in eastern Zhejiang, it has frequently attacked cities and conquered places, and its arrogance is outrageous, so we just took this opportunity to teach them a profound lesson, so that they would not dare to despise our army! Feng Yuxiang nodded again and again, and said approvingly: "Everyone, I agree with General An's opinion, the elimination of the living forces of the Japanese army is more important than anything else. ”

"I don't approve of it!"

Gu Zhutong said with a straight face: "The that the generals have not accepted the military orders abroad, they can only deceive those small citizens who listen to the comments in the tea shops in the streets and alleys, if they really don't listen to the military orders outside, then how can our military command system maintain normal operation?" Therefore, regardless of whether this decision is urgent or necessary, it is still necessary to report to the Military Commission, so that the above has a number in mind and can weigh the pros and cons.

"Xiao Yi, it's not that I don't know the importance of seizing fighters, but if you want to completely annihilate the Japanese army that occupies the dominant terrain, you can't rely on tanks and armored vehicles, right? It is necessary to mobilize the new army, that is to say, at the moment, only Xiao Yi can mobilize one or two divisions from Songhu, so that we can be completely sure to solve the opponent, and it will take a while to mobilize troops, and we can use this time to wait for the final decision of the Military Commission and the National Defense Council. If all the units I participated in the siege are ready, and there is still no reply from above, it will not be too late for us to blow up the bridge, so that we will not make a big mistake! ”

"Brother Mo's remarks are reasonable, no matter what, we must not ignore the authority of the Central Committee, the National Defense Council, and the chairman, and the more we are at this time, the more we must respect the Central Committee and the chairman, otherwise we will fall behind. Xiao Yi, the military *** has never been separated, and if you are not careful, you will never recover, you have to listen to me and Brother Mo in this matter. Chen Cheng's face was serious.

Because the promise made before the war in Songhu that he would take the Japanese concession within three days was not fulfilled, Zhang Zhizhong is now very low-key and does not speak under normal circumstances, but at this moment he can't help it and persuades: "Xiao Yi, blowing up a bridge that affects international views is by no means simply measured by money. Now the principal is not only dispatching troops to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of the situation, but also fantasizing about succumbing to the pressure of the world and withdrawing troops from China, although a bridge is small, it can provoke the principal's sensitive nerves, therefore, everything is still subject to the principal's decision, I don't want to have a misunderstanding between you and the principal! ”

Seeing the three war zone commanders who treated him like elder brothers speak, An Yi had no choice but to raise his hands and wave: "Okay, okay, this matter is still left to the principal to decide." However, we must pay attention to the secrecy of this operational plan, and the counterintelligence organs of our First Army have to arrest at least 10 spies equipped with radio stations and signal indicators from the areas around our airfields, barracks, and military stations every day, and the Japanese army has reached the point of doing everything possible to spy on our intelligence, and no matter how great the sacrifice is, it is still sent to the door like a moth to a flame, and we must attach importance to it. ”

Gu Zhutong said with a smile: "This is natural, now I only hope that the principal can make up his mind as soon as possible, otherwise if he looks forward and backward like this, there will be problems sooner or later." ”

......

Shanxi, Wenzhuang, more than 20 kilometers southeast of Taiyuan.

Lu Yixuan, commander of the Fifth Army Corps, and Qu Muchen, chief of staff, strolled along the Fen River to the west of the village, and all the voices of officers and non-commissioned officers at all levels training recruits were "walking in unison" and "standing still."

The 17th Division, the New 5th Division, the New 6th Division, and the 170th Division of the Fifth Army Corps have been stationed in this area for almost a month, and large military camps have been built in the entire Wenzhuang 10 kilometers from east to west and 8 kilometers from north to south. In order to facilitate the rescue of the wounded, to supply supplies nearby, and to show the vigorous and heroic posture of the Anjia Army to the elders and villagers in Shanxi, in late August, the headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps, the hospital directly under the Corps, and the military logistics base of the Corps were all moved to Wenzhuang.

According to the old tradition of the Anjia Army, each division immediately put down all training, went deep into the fields, helped the villagers harvest in the autumn, and resumed training after the grains returned to the warehouse, so now the combat effectiveness of each division is not reassuring at all, many soldiers do not talk about shooting targets, even the queue is a mess, everything has to start from scratch, which makes Lu Yixuan, who is the commander of the corps, worried.

Especially the southern transfer of the 68th Division, the impact on the combat strength of the Fifth Army is not ordinarily large, and now Lu Yixuan is beginning to worry about the deployment of personnel.

"Lao Qu, the commander quietly called, asking us to make up another instructor directly under the regiment to make up for the shortage of soldiers left after the 68th Division withdrew south. But if you look at it, among the four divisions that we have now formed, recruits account for ninety percent, and the commanders at all levels from high to low have almost changed. ”

Lu Yixuan stood under a birch tree in the river bay, looking at the scene of thousands of miles of fertile fields on the other side of the Fen River, and his heart was broad-minded.

"The commander can't help it, 300,000 Japanese troops are blocked in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has made a promise to the chairman of the committee to swear to guard the front line of Songhu, and the pressure he is under is no less than ours...... Now the crux of the problem lies in Hebei, where grain continues to be tight, and Yan Baichuan has controlled the outflow of grain, and in the past two days, the shortage of grain has begun, and some troops have barely fed themselves with a small amount of barley mixed with bark and grass roots, and the officers and men have complained...... No matter how strong the combat effectiveness is and how good the equipment is, with such morale, how can you win the battle? ”

Qu Muchen originally wanted to explain Lu Yixuan, but who wanted to talk about it later, even he couldn't help but worry for a while.

Lu Yixuan nodded: "According to this posture, I estimate that the general offensive of the Japanese army will start in a few days, but look at the present, the defense of the various departments in North China is lax, I don't know which bastard has spread the news that the *** side may succumb to international pressure and take the initiative to sue for peace, the commanders of the various departments have no intention of fighting, and they are looking forward to going south one by one, it is said that Liu Zhi handed over the command of the group army to the deputy commander Sun Lianzhong, and he led his second division and the forty-seventh division to the Yellow River, just waiting for the central government to give an order, that is, to return to Zhengzhou by boat, He continued to be the director of his Henan-Anhui Pacification Office. Combat readiness is so lax, it's no wonder if you don't lose the battle! ”

Qu Muchen's face was solemn: "If North China is defeated, then the Niangzi Pass, Pingxing Pass, and Yanmen Pass, which hold the gateway to Shanxi, will become the key to the contention between the enemy and us, it seems that we have to take precautions!" ”

"yes!"

Lu Yixuan said quietly: "So the commander asked me to make a response plan for Shanxi's territorial defense...... According to my view on the war in North China, among the armies in Hebei, there are many such strong forces as Fu Zuoyi's Seventh Group Army, Wei Lihuang's 14th Group Army, Xue Yue's 19th Group Army, Shang Zhen's 20th Group Army, Liao Lei's 21st Group Army, Song Mingxuan's 29th Group Army, and Sun Lianzhong's First Army......

"Half a year is too idealistic, and it is more realistic to plan according to three months, and the first thing we have to solve at present is the recruitment of new recruits, the training of troops, and the formation of reserve forces. By the way, Kong Xiangxi arrived in Shanxi yesterday and probably brought the will of the chairman, so we have to wait and see how the situation evolves next. ”

Speaking of this, Qu Muchen saw Colonel Ding Ming, the head of the Legion Intelligence Division, coming in a hurry, and greeted with a smile: "Old Ding, you can find us here, and your sense of smell is quite sensitive!" ”

Ding Ming strode up to Lu Yixuan and Qu Muchen, stood up and saluted, and then lowered his voice and said: "We have news from the inner line of the Jin Suijun that Yan Xishan has canceled the grain export to Hebei, and the procurement officials from the central government have begun to buy a large amount of rice and flour from the market, and in just half a day, the price of grain in Taiyuan has been at a premium of two layers, and it is estimated that it will rise in the future." It is expected that this batch of grain will be sent to Hebei in a week, and the food crisis that has been occurring for nearly a month will be solved. ”

Lu Yixuan asked in surprise: "How did Lao Jiang do it?" On the 5th of this month, Major General Chang Baofang, director of our Anjia Military Station, flew to Taiyuan in person, carrying a check for five million oceans and a list of a series of guns and ammunition in his pocket. Know what deals they made? ”

Ding Ming shook his head: "Yan Xishan and Kong Xiangxi locked themselves in the secret room and discussed for most of the night, and no one was allowed to approach, so no one knew what agreement they had reached. With this batch of life-saving grain delivered to Hebei, I believe that the floating military spirit will calm down immediately! ”

Qu Muchen said happily: "No matter how Chiang Kai-shek did all this, this is good news for the Chinese nation. North China (First and Second War Zones) gathered 10 group armies and 8 combat corps, with a total strength of more than 1.4 million, and the Japanese army had to suffer. ”

Lu Yixuan's expression was a little complicated, he nodded silently, turned around, and looked at the Taihang Mountain faintly visible in the east, his thoughts were like a tide.

......

Just when the food crisis in North China was suddenly resolved and everything was progressing in favor of the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the battle that took place in Gyeongseong, a small city in the southern part of the North Korean Chongjin Port, was about to come to an end.

Since almost all the large-caliber artillery shells were transferred to fight in Northeast China, North China, Songhu, and eastern Zhejiang, the base number of heavy artillery ammunition hoarded by the Japanese artillery units in Korea was only a pitiful 50 rounds.

In the previous battle, the Japanese army had wasted too many heavy artillery shells, so in this round of shelling, the Japanese army's Meiji 38 120mm field howitzer and Taisho 4 150mm field howitzer fired all the remaining shells one by one, plus the coordinated attack of the 94 type 75mm mountain gun, the 90 type 75mm field gun and the 99 type 81mm curved infantry gun, and the fierce artillery fire once again ploughed the position on the opposite bank of the Zhuyi Wenchuan River from beginning to end.

When the Japanese heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 120mm fired all the shells, the Japanese and the Korean two devil soldiers once again launched an attack on the second line of trenches.

The attack was unrelenting, and the infantry, still charged, charged in waves with a skirmisher line, while the artillery fired accurately to eliminate the machine-gun fire in sight. Japanese sharpshooters and grenadiers followed behind the ordinary infantry, occasionally firing suppressive fire above the trenches.

In the second trench, the soldiers of the 15th Division, who were defending themselves with Mosinagan rifles and grenades, were occasionally shot and fell down, or were blown to pieces by shells and grenades.

Major An Hansheng, the commander of the division's special forces, with snipers, acted nimbly and maneuverably in the third and fourth trenches, accurately striking the enemy's sharpshooters and grenadiers. Vengeful bullets are fired at the enemy, turning the sharpshooters and grenadiers into corpses one by one. The snipers of the special brigade usually change places with one shot, because the bullets and shells of the enemy's retaliation will soon fall on their original positions.

Such a war of attrition was unusually cruel, and the soldiers on both sides showed amazing fighting spirit, braving the dense rain of bullets and stubbornly shooting bullets at the opponent.

Just when the battle situation was at a stalemate, Yang Chao, the commander of the 15th Division, saw through the telescope that a black spot appeared on the horizon not far away, and those black spots were getting closer and closer, driving through the ankle-length shallow stream, and continuing to move forward - the devil finally couldn't hold it anymore and dispatched his tank troops!

The Japanese sappers who followed behind the tank, armed with explosives packs and shovels, shovels and other tools, prepared to fill in the second trench so that the tanks could pass quickly.

"Quick! Order the soldiers stationed in the second trench to retreat, and tell the special brigade to give priority to the sappers of the devil! Yang Chao turned his head and shouted to the combat staff officer, and soon the order was conveyed.

In the front-line trenches, An Hansheng, who had been instructed, quickly conveyed the latest orders from the division headquarters, and then aimed at a devil sapper who was preparing to work in the second trench, and gently pulled the trigger. A "pop" of gunfire rang out, and a bullet fired from a 12.7 caliber sniper rifle hit the Japanese sapper in the head. I saw a cloud of blood mist rise from the scope, and the devil fell headlong into the trench.

One bullet after another flew at the enemy, killing the devil sappers in the trench one after another.

Although the snipers of the 15th Division's Special Brigade frantically shot the Japanese sappers, the Japanese sappers were overwhelmed and quickly used explosives to clear a passage for their tanks. The murderous Type A medium chariot and the Type 95 light chariot rushed through the second trench and swooped in the direction of the third trench.

The soldiers who were holding the third line of trenches opened fire one after another, but the bullets hit the surface of the tank, only sputtering a little spark. The Japanese tanks raised the Type 90 57mm guns and spat fireballs at the place where the gunshots rang out, and the shells fell in the trenches, and several soldiers fell in pools of blood with the sound of explosions. The tank was arrogant, and the two 6.5 mm Type 91 machine guns spit out tongues of fire, and the dense machine gun bullets were like a violent rain, splashing on the positions of the 15 th Division, hitting the sand and rocks, and many soldiers who shot at the outcrops died bravely.

Seeing this scene from the telescope, Yang Chao knew that it was time to use a big killing weapon, so he immediately put down the telescope and gave an order to the combat staff officer:

"Abandon the third trench! Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns immediately entered the position, ready to fire! ”

After receiving the order of the division headquarters, the officers and men of the third trench withdrew to the fourth trench through the communication ditch, and the last to leave were the engineers, who planted a large number of explosives and mines in the communication ditch connecting the third trench and the fourth trench, and blew up the communication ditch just waiting for the enemy to come.

The tanks swooped down on the third line of trenches, and finding that there was no resistance, proudly stopped in front of the trenches, acting as mobile batteries, firing wildly at the defenders' positions. The arrogant devil soldiers who followed the tanks, with great morale, waited for the sappers to blast the trenches and quickly clear a way to attack. The artillery of the Japanese army and the two devils pushed the infantry guns, field artillery and mountain artillery one after another, and pushed the artillery positions forward step by step until they reached the first trench, which could facilitate and better suppress the fire of the defenders.

At this time, on the two hills of Goathead and Shenmuguan, twelve 88-type 75mm anti-aircraft guns, and eight Taisho 14-type 105mm anti-aircraft guns had been pulled out of the anti-slope fortifications again, and were arranged on both sides of the hill, and the anti-aircraft guns with the muzzles lowered were aimed at the Japanese tanks under the mountain. The gunners replaced the proximity fuse with a delayed one, and then attached the magazine with the changed fuse to the magazine.

The Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft guns on the Goat's Head Heights had a range of up to 14.8 kilometers on the ground, and if they fired from a high position, all the Japanese artillery except for the heavy artillery would be covered within its firing range. Fortunately, now the Japanese heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 120mm has no shells, and the range of infantry guns, field guns and mountain guns cannot be compared with anti-aircraft guns at all.

As the order from the division headquarters was given, a clear whistle sounded everywhere. The gunners immediately went into action, putting the Japanese tanks in their sights and then pressing the firing pedal.

"Knock knock—"

The muzzle of the Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft gun spat out a string of slender tongues of fire, and the dark red bullet marks hit the invincible Japanese tank. The anti-aircraft shell instantly hit the 17mm armor on the front of a medium-sized tank, piercing a hole in the tank in just one stroke.

The shell burrowed into the tank and exploded, and with a dull explosion, the ammunition inside the tank was ignited, causing a violent detonation.

"Boom-"

With a loud bang, a white fireball emerged from the tank, and the entire turret suddenly rose into the air in the firelight, flew dozens of meters into the air, and then rolled forward and fell to the ground, still burning with raging fire. The tank remained in the lower half of the ground and turned into a burning iron coffin.

Immediately afterwards, another Japanese tank was hit, and with an earth-shattering loud noise, the tank's gasoline engine suddenly caught fire, and the entire tank was swallowed up by the flames of licking in an instant.

The four Japanese tank crews who were on fire escaped from the car, but they were confronted with bullets that rained like a torrential rain, and they were immediately beaten into a hornet's nest and fell weakly on the burning tank.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the third Japanese tank was also hit by anti-aircraft guns, this tank had a violent explosion, the white fireball suddenly broke through the shackles of the thin hull, broke out of the car, the track was blown into a piece and flew out, and the driving wheels and load-bearing wheels flew to both sides in a "sonorous" sound. Raging fires erupted from the shattered hull and enveloped the tank, and none of the tankers in the vehicle left alive.

On the other side of the Shenwu Crown Mountain, eight Taisho 14-year 105mm anti-aircraft guns are also showing their might, this kind of anti-aircraft guns have a more terrifying range on the ground, as high as 16.9 kilometers, if it hits accurately, an anti-aircraft gun only needs to be enough to reimburse a tank.

The sixteen-kilogram shell, with great kinetic energy, hit the tank, quickly penetrated the tank and exploded in the compartment. The ammunition inside the vehicle then exploded, and the entire vehicle was blown to pieces. The other seven 14-year-old 105mm anti-aircraft guns hit seven tanks one after another, just like hitting moving targets, and each of them ignited a fire and exploded, becoming a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.

Koiso Kuniaki saw this scene through the telescope and was dumbfounded, he didn't know what kind of powerful weapon could actually beat the medium tank he was proud of like this! After putting down the binoculars, Koiso Kuniaki turned his head and scolded at a group of generals:

"Yaga! Damn the Soviets! And what high-quality weapons did they supply the Manchurian guerrillas? Our invincible tank was intercepted like this! ”

Just when Koiso Kuniaki was furious, something that surprised Koiso Kuniaki even more happened:

Tongues of fire suddenly spit out from the mountain, and dark red bullet marks whistled into the Japanese artillery position. The powerful 963-mounted 25mm anti-aircraft machine gun and the 92-type Vickers large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun hit the trees in the distance, and the big tree with a thick bowl mouth was cut off and collapsed, and the bullets roared into the crowd of Japanese artillery, tearing their ** and devouring their souls.

Wherever machine gun shells and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets went, the human body was broken in two, and the soldier who was shot in the hands and feet immediately fell to the ground, clutching the severed limb and lying in a pool of blood wailing and struggling. A storm of steel pellets spilled into the Japanese artillery, and bursts of blood mist flew in the air, and those Japanese artillerymen soon turned into piles of incomplete debris and rotten meat.

The firing range of the machine-fired machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns exceeded that of the 12 highways, far exceeding the Japanese army's Type 94 75mm mountain guns, Type 90 75mm field guns, and Type 99 81mm curved infantry guns.

The anti-aircraft guns fired fiercely, and in less than five minutes, most of the fifty-six tanks of the Sixth Brigade of the Combat Vehicle were reimbursed, and the rest saw that the situation was not good, so they quickly turned around and ran.

The shells of the 14-year-old 105mm anti-aircraft guns roared towards the fleeing Japanese chariot team, and a Type 95 light tank was hit in the tail by the shell, only to hear a loud bang, the whole armored vehicle was cut in the middle in the fireball, and then torn into two, and quickly turned into a pile of scrap steel and rotten iron with billowing black smoke.

The number of tanks that the 6th *** Brigade of the tank was able to escape back in the end added up to less than fifteen, and the commander Sakai Kawaji Osaru was mourned, but he didn't know who to talk to about his unwillingness and complaints.

After expelling the Japanese tank group, the gunners were able to kill and aimed their low-down anti-aircraft guns at the Japanese and the second-devil infantry.

"Knock knock—"

The cannon sounded, the yellow and clear shells fell to the ground, the gun emplacements rang out with a burst of metal crashing, the muzzles spit out tongues of fire, and the whistling shells shot into the enemy group and exploded. Twenty anti-aircraft guns fired a salvo, which was enough to form a huge surface strike capability, and fireballs rose from the ground, and the Japanese army and the two devil infantry spewed out countless blood sprays in a miserable scream, and fell to the ground one after another.

The shooters of the triple 25mm anti-aircraft machine guns and Vickers large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns that had disabled the Japanese artillery also quickly turned their guns and fired fiercely at the Japanese soldiers and the second devils who had rushed into the third and fourth trenches.

A dense rain of bullets shot out from the top of the mountain, cutting a large area of Japanese and Korean soldiers from the ground like cutting leeks.

Yang Chao was so happy that he suddenly remembered something, and ordered loudly: "Ceasefire, cease fire quickly, the air defense battalion immediately ceasefire." Bastard, I've run out of shells and bullets, and I'll use them as decorations in the future! ”

The officers and men of the air defense battalion, who had been smiling widely, woke up from a dream when they received the order from the division headquarters, hurriedly stopped firing, quickly retreated into the anticline bunker on the hilltop, and continued to conceal themselves.

After the baptism of anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns, the entire battlefield was full of blackened wreckage of combat vehicles, and all kinds of mutilated corpses lay on the side of those broken tanks.

Although Yang Chao had ordered the fire of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to stop, that terrifying scene made those North Korean soldiers break down, and they could no longer hold back the fear in their hearts, and turned around and ran. Even the devil soldiers, who were deeply poisoned by the spirit of bushido, couldn't bear such a bloody scene, and their spirits were almost broken when they saw their partners who were born and died together being beaten into piles of bloody corpses.

Koiso Kuniaki, who has always been cruel and calm, was silent, and carefully calculated in his heart, since the start of the war, he has lost almost one mixed brigade of Korean soldiers, three brigades of infantry and a large number of engineers, artillery and tank soldiers, and judging from the other party's arrangement, I don't know how many back hands have not been used, and after weighing it repeatedly, he finally waved the command knife back in frustration:

"Stop attacking! The Manchurian partisans had in their hands the new weapons provided by the Red Army in the Far East of the Soviet Union, which were too damaging to our tanks! Let's move in first, study the enemy's weaknesses and then fight! ”

Subsequently, more than 100,000 Japanese troops retreated in embarrassment and retreated until Mingchuan City, where they stopped.

Koiso Kuniaki made an urgent report to the Japanese high command about the course of this battle, hoping to obtain the cooperation of the navy, forcibly land at the port of Kiyotsu, and attack the front and rear to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

At this time, Koiso Kuniaki did not know that due to Ishihara's incisive and unique analysis, the Supreme Command had changed its combat strategy, no longer advocating that every inch of land should be contested, but instead asked Koiso Kuniaki to quickly build a strong defensive line on the spot to prevent the Manchurian guerrillas from moving south.

For a while, the northeast of North Korea was eerily silent, which made Yang Chao, who still had a big killing weapon in his hand, regretful.

In the third round of the battle with the Japanese army, An Jiajun once again won a complete victory!
