Chapter 199: Bait
When the Eighth Division began to carry out precise artillery bombardment of the artillery of the 11th Army's Western Route Army under Gu Gang's remote control, the artillery was not the busiest person. The Eighth Division's escort infantry, logistics baggage regiment, and the special operations section of about one regiment under the General Headquarters are the heaviest workload - to supply ammunition to each artillery vehicle participating in the battle, and then drive the vacated military card to the rear of the artillery array, under the command of the officer of the special operations section, each vacated vehicle is hoisted onto a cylinder with a radius of about half a meter and a length of two meters - fixed, and the control section is introduced into the wheelhouse......
The Special Operations Section belongs to the latest establishment of the Cadet Army, and before the northbound troops entered Nanchang, even Zhang Tianquan did not know the existence of this sequence. It wasn't until he received the order to go to Dutou Township to lurk and saw Huang Hua, the supreme commander of the section, that he realized that there was such a mysterious unit hidden in the northbound troops this time.
Major General Huang Hua was originally the head of the communications staff group of the General Headquarters and belonged to Ouyang Yun's confidants. The special operations section led by Huang Hua has about one regiment in personnel, but it has nearly 300 military trucks and nearly 50 special vehicles.
Once this mysterious unit lifted the veil, it immediately shocked all the officers and men of the Eighth Division.
"What's that? Cannon? Or 'Thunderbolt'? The tarpaulin of the special operations section was uncovered, revealing densely arranged cylinders in the carriage, and the students who were fortunate enough to witness it talked about it a lot, and some of them thought that this was the legendary "Thunderbolt" rocket launcher. Looking at the blood-red cover at the top of the cylinder, and seeing a button drawn from the bottom of the cylinder being dragged into the cab, the students were surprised and inexplicable at the same time faintly felt a trace of excitement. Some knowledgeable people concluded that this must be a big killer against the little devil fighter - "It must be a devil fighter, otherwise, we should be preparing to evacuate at this time!" ”
On the Nanchang front, Li Menglong just rushed to the chariot unit led by Yokoyama Yong with the tank regiment, and Yokoyama Yong saw it, and with an order, all the chariots suddenly turned to the south in unison, and then actually ran wildly on the ice of the Ganjiang River.
Li Menglong looked a little stupid. I thought there would be a fight, but I didn't expect the little devil to come to such a move. "Deputy Master, the devil has run the ball!" He reported to Xu Feng.
"Don't chase it, help the Ninth Brigade consolidate the defensive line, later, there is still a place to use you!" Xu Feng replied.
"Yes!"
The sound of artillery stopped, Okamura looked at the sky to the northwest for a while, and found no shadow of the fighter, his heart hung higher, he gritted his teeth and asked Yoshimoto to inquire about the casualties to Uchiyama, and at the same time, urged his subordinates to speed up the attack, so that they would do whatever it took to approach the opposite student army - Okamura was waiting for the arrival of the air force, and the same was true for Ouyang Yun. At this time, he stood a little nervously on the turret of the command vehicle, looking northeast with a telescope, and thought: "Tokugawa Haomin, don't let Lao Tzu down!" ”
As Jiang Huangyong said, this time, Ouyang Yun's appetite was indeed too big. The bureau he set up in Nanchang was not only aimed at the 11th Army West Route Army, but the entire 11th Army, including the First Air Corps. Once the Japanese army is fooled, then the Eighth Division, which has been searched for by the Japanese air force but has lost its traces, will be exposed. There is a premise for the emergence of the Eighth Division, that is, it must be able to completely destroy the Japanese artillery through a round of artillery bombardment, otherwise, not only will the safety of the Third Division not be guaranteed, but the Eighth Division itself may also be counterattacked by the Japanese artillery.
Okamura Ningji did Ouyang Yun a great favor, he definitely didn't expect that because he was afraid of the artillery of the Xuebing Army, he gathered all the artillery of the Western Route Army together from a cautious point of view, originally to protect his artillery, but unexpectedly, it just met the purpose of Ouyang Yun's setting of a round of artillery bombardment to completely paralyze his artillery unit, which was equivalent to personally sending his artillery to the point of no return.
The 8th Division completely destroyed the artillery of the 11th Army's Western Route Army with a round of saturation precision strikes, which not only ensured that the 3rd Division was not hit by the enemy's heavy firepower, but also saved itself from enemy artillery retaliation.
This round of shelling stopped for less than five minutes, and on the east bank of the Nanchang section of the Ganjiang River, the sound of guns and artillery rang out like beans, and a large-scale offensive and defensive battle finally broke out between the 3rd Division and the main force of the 11th Army's Western Route Army.
"Little sir, Division Commander Qian called, the 112th Division of the Japanese Army has changed its march route, as if it wants to bypass Yu Gan!" In an armored car in front of him, Jiang Huangyong suddenly shouted.
Ouyang Yun pulled out the map in the car directly, spread it on the roof of the car, and patrolled around Yugan, he said: "Send a telegram to Jiang Tiezhang and tell him not to wait for dark before marching, and immediately march to Duchang." Order Arthur to leave Elephant Mountain and target Yongxiu County. Order Menqueri, immediately move closer to our army! ”
"Commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, a group of enemy aircraft has appeared!" You Xiaolian suddenly shouted.
Ouyang Yun hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at the northeast sky, and sure enough, he saw a group of black spots, and the next moment, he got into the car and said, "Quick, give me the microphone!" ”
"Master Bai, order your troops to retreat immediately."
The way the Third Division fought at the moment was different from the past, and the distance between the two sides was still about three hundred meters, so Bai Tassel gave the order to open fire, and ordered to maintain the maximum density of firepower output. She did this to avoid being forced too close by the Japanese army to get out. At this time, hearing Ouyang Yun's order, she did not hesitate at all, and immediately issued a retreat order to the whole division, and at the same time dispatched all troops, so that Xiang Zhengyong's chariot brigade was responsible for lagging behind.
After a round of more dense shooting, the cadets of the Third Division ran down from the embankment, and then climbed onto the military truck that had been waiting under the embankment for a long time, and after a few minutes, the first military truck full of student soldiers drove out, and after ten minutes, except for the chariot unit of the Ninth Brigade, the Third Division completed the retreat.
Nearly 1,000 military trucks converged into a huge array of vehicles and rushed to the southeast, and as soon as they drove out of the shelter of the river embankment, they were observed by Okamura and others.
Okamura had been wondering what the gunshots on the other side were suddenly so thin that he couldn't hear them, but when he saw this scene, his face changed drastically and he shouted, "The people of China have fled!" Quick, quick, catch up! ”
"Soldiers, rush! Don't let the people run away! ”
"Chase, chase!"
The cavalry wing of the 17th Division, which was subordinate to the 17th Division, had been suppressing its speed at first because it was worried that the ice was too slippery and would cause falls, but at this time it began to run wildly, and was the first to rush to the east bank embankment.
Five hundred meters south of Tengwang Pavilion, more than a dozen devils controlled their mounts and rushed up the river embankment, one of them waved a saber and was about to point at the "deserter" of the Third Division of the Xue Division a few hundred meters away, and suddenly found that about a hundred meters away in front of him, a row of chariots was staring at him, and he shouted in fright: "Eight grids!" Then he turned his horse's head and jumped off the embankment.
