Chapter 648: Wing Flag

The artillery continued to stretch forward, and the assault team of the Feng army was rapidly leaping forward, constantly destroying the remnants of the enemy who had been beaten. For the Japanese, this was definitely a completely new tactic, the infantry artillery completely formed a whole, and after being cared for by the artillery, these Japanese simply did not even have time to adjust.

It was directly wiped out by the Feng troops who rushed up, and the Feng troops in charge of the charge were all equipped with submachine guns, and the super firepower made the white-knuckle combat that the Japanese were proud of useless. The Japanese soldiers, who were clamoring for the most tenacious soldiers, were all turned into a sieve, or even a pile of rotten meat.

The 13th Wing, which had just entered Gaizhou, had encountered the most formidable opponent of all time, and their bravery had lost all value in the face of overwhelming superior firepower.

The vanguard of the Feng army had already broken into the city, and the momentum was almost unstoppable, and he could not help but feel fear. How did these people become so powerful, the lamb suddenly became a lion, and the hunter became the prey, is this shijie upside down!

"Request tactical guidance from the division commander." Takeo Yamashita clenched his fists tightly, and after saying this, it seemed as if all his strength had been drained from his body. The so-called tactical guidance is nothing more than a name for help, as the most powerful wing, it is a very shameful thing to ask for help, and until the last resort, Takeo Yamashita can't say anything.

Sure enough, after getting the telegram for help, Koike Yasuyuki immediately fidgeted, he knew very well that Takeo Yamashita was not the most dangerous time, and he would definitely not give in. Now we must use all Liliang to save this army, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"The 23rd Wing will immediately go out to break the defense line of the Chinese people and take over the 13th Wing of Gaizhou."

Yasuyuki Koike had to send this mobile Liliang of Zuihou up. At the same time, the Japanese artillery also concentrated on the perimeter of the Feng army, trying to break through the defensive line, but they miscalculated. At the time of formulating Jihua, it was clear to everyone that if you wanted to encircle the Japanese army, you had to first put your own army under the encirclement of the enemy.

If it were not the most tenacious troops, it would not be able to withstand this test at all, and the task of zuihou fell to Zhou Zijian, who took the first regiment of the first division as the main force, if the first division was the trump card of the border guards. Then the first regiment is the trump card among the trump cards, on the battlefield in the Far East, they have endured the danger of being attacked from both sides, and after the test of life and death, they are more comfortable in dealing with the situation in front of them.

Zhou Zijian used all his time. Fortifications were strengthened, and the sappers ignored enemy artillery fire. Regardless of casualties. Build fortifications as fast as you can. At the same time, the artillery of the Feng army also became powerful, and forty or fifty heavy artillery pieces concentrated their firepower to confront the Japanese and blow them up. With strong artillery cover, the 1st Regiment finally completed a double ring fortification. The outer circle deals with the attacks of the 23rd Wing, and the inner circle deals with the 13th Wing.

Just as the night receded. When the sky was bright again, this defense system was finally completed, and the Japanese reinforcements were firmly blocked. After a night of fierce fighting, the Feng army had already taken control of one-third of the city of Gaizhou. Although the Japanese are still resisting, their situation is becoming more and more dangerous. Takeo Yamashita also desperately sent out continuous requests for tactical guidance, and Yasuyuki Koike became like an ant on a hot pot.

The army could not penetrate, and now the only one that can provide assistance is the navy, but the gap between the Japanese navy and land has been a long time, and as the most powerful division of the Japanese army, if the navy is asked for assistance, then where is the status and value of the army.

The arrogant Kumamoto Division was not willing to bow its head at all, but if it did not bow its head, the 13th Wing would be in danger of being wiped out, and the consequences would be even more terrible. After much deliberation, Koike had to send a request to the navy to send warships to bombard Gaishu.

"Hmph, a bunch of rice buckets, finally have to ask us for help, the army is a useless waste, and even the people can't deal with it."

Kobayashi Doryoshi said contemptuously, but he completely forgot that Japan's combined fleet had just lost two main warships, and the army was not the worst in comparison.

More than an hour later, a cruiser, two destroyers, and two old ironclads finally appeared off the coast of Gaizhou. The thick muzzles of the guns were aimed at the positions of the Feng army, and the naval guns were of great caliber and power, and the damage caused was even more amazing.

The five warships were in full swing, and puffs of smoke rose from the positions of the Feng troops, and the fortifications that the soldiers had worked so hard to build were blown to pieces, and the casualties were very serious. In particular, the 1st Regiment, which was located in the connecting position, was subjected to a joint attack by army and navy artillery, and the casualties rose in a straight line.

Each of them was the most elite warrior, and with such a loss, Zhou Zijian's heart was bleeding.

At this time, in the open sea of Gaizhou, a huge black fish quietly surfaced, and the Japanese Navy, which was immersed in the sound of hearty shelling, did not notice it at all.

The three torpedoes were fired in an instant, and the submarine turned its head and dived into the water, and the splash of the water made the Japanese wake up all at once. But it was too late, and in the midst of the exclamations of the Japanese, a torpedo hit the middle of the Chiyoda, an old battleship of more than 2,000 tons, which suddenly cracked a hideous gap.

Then with a loud bang, it was thrown three or five meters high from the sea, and then fell heavily on the sea, completely broken into two, and sank to the bottom of the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the soldiers on the ship had no time to escape, and sank to the bottom of the sea together.

This cruiser Chiyoda was a warship ordered by the Japanese from the British, participated in the Battle of the Yellow Sea and the Battle of Weihaiwei, and was one of the culprits of the First Sino-Japanese War. This old ship has reached the verge of decommissioning, but it is still trying to commit murder in China's waters, and finally died at the hands of Chinese submarines.

Seeing the miserable Chiyoda, the other Japanese warships were all shocked into a cold sweat, and they finally remembered that China was not what it used to be, and huge battleships could be sunk, not to mention these gadgets.

Kobayashi Dorjee also didn't care about continuing to bombard Gaizhou, and hurriedly asked all the warships to follow the traces of the submarine, and the Japanese searched back and forth on the sea as if they were crazy, not letting go of any clues. But it was already too late for them, and the Yaksha-class submarine that attacked the Japanese was already on the seabed, quietly watching their performance.

After tossing for more than an hour, depth charges were dropped, and countless cannons were fired, but not even the hair of the submarine was caught. Just when the Japanese were angry, there was another roar in the air.

The air liliang of the Feng army was finally dispatched, and the eagles that had just shown their skills on the Yalu River finally flew over Gaizhou, and they ignored their fatigue and first locked the target of their attack on these fierce warships.

It wasn't until the huge roar of the bombers appeared above that the Japanese Navy woke up like a dream, and Kobayashi Doryoshi's face showed an extremely frightened look.

"Quick, fire, shoot them down!"

Sparse gunfire was heard from the Japanese warship, but this did not work at all for the aircraft, and soon a bomber dropped two bombs, one of which exploded within ten meters of the destroyer.

The huge water pressure brought by the explosion of the bomb, like an oversized hammer, smashed on the warship, and suddenly a large depression appeared, and then it shattered, and the sea water poured in, and it quickly turned on its side, more quickly than the Chiyoda, and sank towards the water.

The other three warships saw that their companions were sinking, and they also really saw the power of Liliang in the air, and they woke up like a dream, and they all wanted to escape, but how could the warships be faster than the planes.

The Akitsuzu protective cruiser, which landed in Zuihou, was the slowest and, like the Chiyoda, belonged to the same old ships that had participated in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle. A 12-kilogram bomb hit the bow of the ship accurately, the raging flames quickly engulfed all the superstructures, the warship turned into a huge candle, burning rapidly, and another warship with a lot of crimes sank into the sea.

The other two warships did not go far, including Kobayashi Dorjee, all five warships were sunk, and a large number of warship wreckage and more corpses were floating on the surface of the Gaizhou Sea. Submarines and planes worked together to send all five warships to the bottom of the sea.

Attacking from the air and under the water had an unparalleled advantage over the traditional decisive battle on the sea, and after this battle, the entire Feng army became a staunch aircraft carrier and submarine faction.

On the sea, the sinking of Japanese warships one after another had a fatal impact on the morale of the Japanese army, and without naval fire support, the reinforcements could not break through the defense line at all, and the 13th Wing became a turtle in an urn.

At this time, the planes of the Feng army once again hung up and launched the march, and they bombarded the Japanese artillery positions, killing the most threatening firepower, without the support of artillery, relying on the infantry charge alone, except for the slaughter of the Feng army, there was no other role at all.

The encirclement of Gaizhou became tighter and tighter, Zhang Henian also threw most of the Sixth Division into it, and the Feng army, which had a fourfold advantage in strength, launched a fierce attack on Zuihou, and the fierce 13th Wing finally arrived at the time of Zuihou, they were cut into several small pieces, and they were rapidly decreasing.

Takeo Yamashita also arrived at the moment of zuihou at this time, there were only more than 200 people left around him, and there was no hope of breaking through, so he could only do zuihou a fight.

"Burn the flag of the wing, send a farewell telegram, and see you at the Yasukuni Shrine!"

Takeo Yamashita was about to give the order when suddenly a heavy artillery shell landed on his headquarters, and the violent explosion blew them all to pieces, leaving almost no survivors.

The headquarters was knocked out, and the remaining Japanese soldiers did not know where to go, and were easily annihilated by the swarming Feng army, and when they were searching, Ma Gang suddenly found that in front of him, under a corpse, there was a colorful rag, and there was a flagpole next to it, and he pulled out the rag.

"It's the Wing Flag! You're a good kid now! Wang Yizhe also saw this rag, and immediately blurted out, his face full of surprise. (To be continued......)
