Chapter 435 Pursuit

PS: Bow and thank Shen Qi for his tip, thank you

The battle, after the end of the shelling, fell silent all of a sudden.

Ushijima Sadao got up, shook off the floating soil on his body, and looked at the wreckage of a dozen tanks, the solemnity in his eyes became heavier and heavier.

He could see that the opponent's attack methods were consistent with the battlefield information he had gathered. Although they did not fight with the advance army, the opponent's guns were all equipped with scopes, which were more advanced than the 38 big cover, similar to the automatic ammunition feeding system like the flower machine gun, and the firing range was far beyond the advanced guns of the 38 big cover.

The artillery skills and reaction speed are also the same as in the information, there is no absolute certainty, and the artillery positions must not be exposed, otherwise, they will lose their fire suppression and be passively beaten.

How can this battle be fought?

Ushijima Sadao muttered to himself.

Can't get closer, tanks are useless, artillery doesn't dare to use easily, rely on people piles?

He is not the first brother who has just entered the battlefield, he has been fighting continuously recently, participated in the Battle of Songhu, captured Wuhu on the way of pursuit, and turned to attack Hangzhou. But at the moment, he has no way to formulate a set of offensive plans.

The other generals reacted the same as him, knowing that the battleships on the Qiantang River could not be counted on, the fighters, and the other side's air defense were still quite powerful, and the Kwantung Army had almost wiped out the Kwantung Army's family base in Heilongjiang, and they did not see that the Kwantung Army had a way to deal with the air defense of the advance army.

Sadao Ushijima was really depressed. In this battle, he had more than 20,000 people, nearly 30,000, but the army was launched, but he could not attack.

But where did he know what it would be like if he followed the old routine, bombarded, and then charged, it was difficult to say what the battle would be like. Zhao Liqiang's recruits were panicked when they heard the sound of artillery, and once they hit it hard. How could six or seven hundred Huya warriors alone be able to block the flood of attacks? Even if you block it, it will hurt a lot.

Zhao Liqiang commanded such a big battle for the first time, and he didn't have too many numbers in his heart to control the battle situation, especially most of the recruits in his hands, and the Huya team members were less than 1,000. It was also divided into a part of Ningbo. Ningbo was blocked and had received a telegram from the captain, where the attack was stopped, defended on the spot, and waited for him to return to Shanghai. And here, he can only defend first, the soldiers will block, and the water will come to the earth.

The battle broke out suddenly, to a sudden standstill, giving the battlefield an eerie atmosphere. The smoke is still wafting. But the figure was nowhere to be seen. The advance army was lying in the trenches, and the Japanese troops also retreated 200 meters, digging trenches, first gaining a firm foothold and then trying to make other plans.

Liu Zhong, at this time, after a day's travel, crossed the mountains and mountains, crossed Deqing County, and was no more than 20 kilometers away from the battlefield.

On the move. News came from the Huya detachment, which was only less than ten kilometers away from the battlefield where the battle was engaged. There were no Japanese troops around.

Liu Zhong received the report and quickly sent a telegram to Zhao Liqiang to ask him about the situation there.

Zhao Liqiang received Liu Zhong's telegram and felt relieved. At least the troops led by Liu Zhong have been trained for more than half a year, and although they have never been on the battlefield, they are better than these recruits who have not even heard of artillery.

He immediately called back. Let's talk about the situation here.

Liu Zhong laughed while hurrying on the road. Zhao Liqiang is still a little tender. The artillery produced on the island had a firing range of more than 30 kilometers, and he had 60 105 cannons, 50 150 cannons, plus 50 120 howitzers, and more than 70 mountain guns and field artillery captured by the Japanese army. The number of troops is not less than that of the Japanese army, and it is completely possible to defeat the Japanese army in one blow and defeat the entire Japanese army, where can they still build a defensive line at their doorstep?

He thought about it while hurrying on the road, and gradually, the plan was formed, and then he ordered to generate electricity, and told Zhao Liqiang about the plan, so that he would give the control of the artillery to the Huya soldiers, and the recruits would cooperate with the study to have a quick assault battle.

Ushijima Sadao didn't know the situation ahead of Ushijima at this time, so he temporarily consolidated his position first, and then looked for an opportunity to break through. He believes that it is always a good idea not to seek merit but to seek no fault.

But he forgot that he was only a little more than a thousand meters away from the enemy's position, where was the best strategy?

Just when the Japanese army was digging trenches, Liu Zhong's army had already arrived at the predetermined position, and immediately, the walkie-talkie could talk.

All the artillery on Zhao Liqiang's side has been loaded, Zhu Yuan has set, and the observer in front of him has also left the position of close observation, waiting for Liu Zhong to arrive.

"I said college students, I'm already in place, the show can start, set off firecrackers."

Liu Zhong said unhurriedly.

"Ha ......"

Hearing Liu Zhong's words, Zhao Liqiang couldn't help laughing, and then yelled: "Release!" ”

The Japanese army was busy reinforcing the last wooden stakes, and the trench was about to take shape, when suddenly, a whimpering whistle was heard in the sky.

"Shelling! Be hidden!! ”

"Into the trenches!"

The Japanese soldiers roared all the time and entered the tunnel in an orderly manner to avoid the shelling.

But they also forgot one thing, how could a trench without a cover be able to stop it?

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the Japanese position shook suddenly, and then, in the rolling waves, the earth was lifted up dozens of meters high, the flames rose into the sky, and the smoke instantly filled the air, covering the bloody remnant sun.

Burst! Burst!

In the trenches, the blood mist of the Japanese army was splashed, and the lungs were directly shattered by the huge earthquake.

A cannon fell, followed by a loud bang more than 200 meters next to it, and the air wave was rolling, colliding with the shock wave of the first cannon, whistling, and rolling into the sky.

Sadao Ushijima, who was a kilometer away, was suddenly knocked to the ground in the huge earthquake, and the improvised headquarters that had just been erected shook and fell to the ground with a clatter.

"What's going on?"

Ushijima Sadao was startled, and stood up holding on to the ammunition box in the shaking, and roared.

The headquarters was in shambles, the tables that had just been erected had collapsed, and boxes were scattered all over the floor. All the staff officers and generals, like him, fell crookedly, becoming a rolling gourd, and when Ushijima Sadao shouted, he was lying in the pile of documents and maps all over the ground.

Before Ushijima's shouts fell, the loud bangs continued in a row, gradually moving forward, and it was clear that the enemy began to cover the fire, extending the artillery fire forward.

"Give me the !! of the front"

Ushijima Sadao held on to a pillar and shouted.

In the dense explosion, there was no echo from the leading edge, apparently. Either the phone line was broken, or the personnel didn't answer the phone anymore.

Before his roar fell, a young man stumbled into the headquarters and shouted in horror: "Your Excellency, the other side has more than fifty guns of one hundred and fifty calibers, and the artillery position has been destroyed. The position must be moved back as soon as possible! ”

"What?"

Ushijima Sadao was taken aback, could the loud bang at the end of the last one be the explosion of the artillery shells in the position?

Without artillery, they simply could not stay here, and they had to move back as soon as possible, otherwise they would be bombarded by the shelling.

"Retreat five kilometers from the position!!"

Ushijima yelled as he pushed away one of the staff officers who was supporting him.

The order, with great difficulty, was transmitted to the position and to the panicked Japanese troops. The front was left unattended, and in the crowd, the retreat began.

The shelling continues, and tens of meters and tens of meters stretches forward. The smoke and dust in the sky were raised all the way, and the Japanese troops who had no time to run away were also left. As if urging orders, the Japanese army accelerated the pace of retreat.

Looking at this position again, the recruits are excitedly holding semi-automatics. Standing in the trench with a submachine gun in his hand. Looking at the fire in the distance, the smoke was filled.

They really admired those who could shoot artillery, and a single cannon actually set off a heat wave on the Japanese army's defense line stretching for one or two kilometers, just like the eyes of the cannon.

Shelling, continue to extend. There are no observers now. It can only be calculated that Hugh is extending his shot, but the rate of fire is very fast.

"For a while, remember that whether the body is alive or not, shoot me when you see it. Don't be afraid to waste bullets! ”

The Huya players shouted back and forth in the crowd, ready to attack.

As the artillery fire extended, Zhao Liqiang roared: "Attack!!" ”

The impatient soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, poured out like a tide of orders, and quickly ran forward, chasing the artillery fire, and went straight to the Japanese position.

The sound of gunfire followed, and it was so inconspicuous in the loud roar.

After giving the order, Sadao Ushijima had already gotten into the truck and retreated backwards.

The artillery position is behind the headquarters, and the enemy can blow up the artillery position, so of course their position is also within the range covered by the artillery fire.

But at this moment, a dense explosion suddenly remembered from the side, and in the firelight, a large number of soldiers fell on the way to retreat.

"Not good!"

Ushijima Sadao was shocked. There is an ambush.

There was an ambush and he couldn't stop it, the dense explosion and the loud noise hundreds of meters behind him made the retreating Japanese troops immediately confused, and they could no longer maintain the battle formation, no one cared about the baggage, and the truck couldn't care about the front blocking the road, and began to accelerate with its horn.

Fight back? No one cared about it at all.

With the dense explosions, trucks were hit and caught on fire, blocking the road in no time.

The driver behind him didn't care, opened the door, jumped out of the truck and squeezed into the fleeing crowd.

The rout and escape officially began at this moment, and the Japanese troops spread out for several hundred meters on both sides of the road, in the fields, and ran wildly between the fields. The ground was full of running figures, and they could no longer be restrained.

"Blow the trumpet!!"

Liu Zhong shot a grenade and shouted.

The trumpet of Didi Da Da immediately sounded, and the soldiers poured out of the lurking place like a tide, and rushed towards the Japanese army hundreds of meters away with a tsunami-like shouting of killing. Then, the sound of gunfire rang out intensively.

"Stop shelling!"

Liu Zhong looked at the Japanese soldiers who were fleeing like sheep, and shouted on the walkie-talkie.

Zhao Liqiang received this side and began to pursue, immediately stopped the shelling, and in the smoke of gunfire, he also carried a gun and rushed into the position of the Japanese army.

At the beginning of the rout, the car could not be stopped, the Japanese army was driven by the gunfire and continuous explosions behind them, and went straight to Jiaxing, no one turned back to stop them, even if there was no pursuit, they rushed to Jiaxing in their own way.

Behind them, the soldiers of the advance army had stopped the pursuit, and were picking up the guns and backpacks they had left along the way, killing the Japanese soldiers who had been trampled on, and then digging a pit to bury them.

It wasn't until it was dark and there weren't many items on the road that Liu Zhong returned with the army.

And Ushijima Sadao, who was really a bear at this time, fled all the way, with at most half of the team, and fled into Jiaxing at a faster speed than when he came...... (To be continued......)
