Chapter 200 The Bombardment Begins

Xiang Zhengyong was ordered to lead his troops to lag behind, he lined up all the tanks and tanks, waited quietly for two or three minutes, and then waited for the cavalry wing of the 17th Division that took the initiative to send it to the door.

Not all devil cavalry are as clever and quick to react as that Shao Zuo, and if they hesitate a little, they pay the price of their lives. Hundreds of sick-type general-purpose machine guns blocked the section of the river embankment of about 3,000 meters, and more than 2,000 devil cavalry rushed up, and more than 500 people were killed without a single bubble.

After the cavalry, there were the chariot units of the Japanese army.

The new Type 99 tank, the Chilo tank, and the Type 75 armored car, these Japanese tanks that did not dare to show their faces when facing the "Mandrill" heavy tanks of the Cadet Army, at this time, in order to avoid being covered by the artillery fire of the Cadet Army, they all increased their horsepower and drove up the river embankment. Some of these devil commanders secretly decided in their hearts that even if there was a mine array in front of them, they would bravely break through, and no matter what, they would let the people know that the chariot units of the Great Japanese Empire were not decorations, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Bai Tassel wanted to study in the Ninth Brigade in order to block the Japanese tanker troops, so as not to be injured by its wanton artillery and damage the military card in front.

This was another confrontation between the Cadet Corps and the Japanese tank unit since the Battle of Nanjing, and that time, the Cadet Corps dispatched the model before the improvement of the "Mandrill", while the Japanese army dispatched the Type 99 that had just been developed. In this campaign, the tank units of the Cadet Corps won an overwhelming victory.

At present, the main tanks of the Japanese army are eleven new Type 99s, also known as Type 99B, while the Cadet Army dispatched the medium tank "Yangtze Alligator", which is second to the "Mandrill". Whether it is armor protection capability or tank gun caliber, the "Yangtze Alligator" is a grade weaker than the "Mandrill", while the Type 99B is a grade higher than the Type 99. Eleven Type 99B tanks had just climbed the river embankment, and the next moment, the devil driver only felt that the vision was suddenly filled with red firelight, and in the "booming" explosion, these eleven Type 99B tanks did not even get the opportunity to fire, and they were destroyed one after another, three of them were martyred, and after the rumbling explosion, they directly turned into a piece of scrap metal.

The two fastest units of the Japanese army, the cavalry and the chariot unit, were ambushed by the Xuejiu Brigade, and although the losses were not heavy, the speed of the pursuit was delayed. And taking this opportunity, the infantry led by Bai Tassel had already driven three kilometers away from the battlefield, and was already far away from the range of accidental damage from the artillery.

When the roar of the Japanese fighters could already be heard, the hoarse voice of the white tassel sounded in the tank that Xiang Zhengyong was riding: "Xiang Zhengyong, your troops retreat immediately!" Three minutes later, the shelling began! He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and when he heard this, he shouted at the microphone: "The Ninth Brigade is here, retreat!" In three minutes, the Eighth Division will run away! ”

"Retreat! Walk! ”

"U-turn! Hurry, hurry, the Eighth Division is going to be **! ”

The Ninth Brigade turned around and ran, and nearly 300 chariots chased the large army several kilometers away at full speed with black smoke, only to see the devil soldiers who climbed the river embankment one by one dumbfounded.

"The people of China were beaten away by us?" Some devils asked their comrades-in-arms around him, and they couldn't believe that the scene they saw in front of them was real.

"Stupid, why do you want to run away? Are they defeated? ”

"But?"

"Ono, don't move, we'll hide in the trenches of the Shina people later, I guess, the Shina people are going to open fire!"

"Ahh

After the remnants of the Japanese tank troops, the dense devil soldiers rushed up the embankment, Okamura climbed up the embankment with the support of several subordinates, he looked at the south-east direction at first glance, saw the white snowflakes splashing, his face became grim, and then looked up at the northeast direction, his face was somewhat soothed, and he thought to himself: "Fortunately, the aviation unit came in time, in this case, even if the student army fires artillery now, the loss of our department will not be too great." ”

As soon as Okamura's words fell, in the southeast, a sudden rumbling sound sounded like a volcanic eruption, and a few seconds later, the scream of cannonballs broke through the air, and the old devil's face changed drastically—what he feared most had happened.

This round of shelling was more fierce than the previous round of raids on Qinglan Village. Learn from the three artillery brigades of the 8th Division, learn from the 22nd Brigade with 150 mm caliber of heavy artillery, learn from the 23rd Brigade with 120 mm, and learn from the 24th Brigade with 105 mm. In the previous round of shelling, because the distance reached 15 kilometers, this had already exceeded the optimal range of heavy artillery with a caliber of 105 mm, so only the 22nd Brigade and the 23rd Brigade and the 150 mm heavy artillery regiment directly under the division participated in that round of shelling. There was a whole brigade less than there is now.

With one more brigade of artillery fire, the damage caused to the Japanese army naturally increased greatly. And because of the sniping before the Third Division, the Japanese troops were all clustered on the river surface of the Nanchang section of the Ganjiang River, and those ice surfaces could not withstand heavy artillery bombardment. As a result, only three minutes into the shelling of the Eighth Division, the Japanese army suffered huge casualties, and what Okamura Ninji and Yoshimoto Sadaji could not accept was that these casualties did not come from enemy artillery fire, but the surface of the Ganjiang River, which had become like a bottomless pit.

The Ganjiang River seemed to have come to life at this time - under the precise blows of the artillery of the Eighth Division, the ice surface of the Nanchang section of the Ganjiang River was first blasted open near the east bank, and began to collapse towards the center of the river, and then the ice near the west bank was also blasted open, and with the ice on the east and west sides being blasted open, the fate of the devils on the ice was actually doomed.

A group of devils were hit by artillery fire, some were directly dismembered by artillery fire or were swept away by the air, and more devils collapsed into the icy Ganjiang River with the ice surface where they were standing, and they were immediately swallowed by the Ganjiang River and became the snack of Ganjiang Hebo.

"Help me!" "Mommy!" "I don't want to die—" ......

Ten minutes after the shelling, the Japanese casualties had reached a terrifying number, and at this time, there were still thousands of devils howling and screaming on the water surface of the Gan River, which was getting bigger and bigger.

"Boom!" Two shells exploded next to Okamura in a row, and he was crushed under him by more than a dozen staff officers in a row, and he escaped in embarrassment. At first, the artillery bombardment of the student army was aimed at the ice near the east and west banks of the Nanchang section of the Ganjiang River, and then it was wantonly and indiscriminately bombarded the ice surface with a width of about 1,500 meters. After five minutes of bombardment on the river, the guns turned to the Japanese troops who had already rushed up the embankment. There were hundreds of shells in one round, and the shelling of this density covered from south to north, and wherever they passed, the Japanese soldiers turned on their backs, and even Okamura Ninji and Yoshimoto Sadaji were almost killed.

"Eight squares! Is Ouyang Yun ready to exchange with me? Okamura felt the roaring anger of the Eighth Master, and thought unwillingly!
