Tao Jingfei's cattle knife killing tactics are vividly played in the front line of strict housework. When all the remaining forces of the 120th Division entered the ambush circle, the anti-coalition troops of the two regiments, which had been waiting for a while, adopted the tactics of turning their heads, blocking their waists, and pinching their tails with the help of artillery and aviation firepower, and at the same time launched a three-sided flank attack on the remnants of the 120th Division.

The first to kick off the ambush was an artillery group consisting of 150-mm howitzers, 105-mm howitzers, 107-mm rocket launchers, 76-mm cannons, 120-mm mortars, and 82-caliber and 60-caliber mortars belonging to the division.

The dense shells of the seven artillery groups composed of these guns blew up the remnants of the 260th and 261st Wings of the Japanese army retreating along the two flanks of the old road of the Sinusi River, and the entire marching sequence was blown up in pieces. The 107th Rocket Artillery Battalion, which belongs to the division's artillery regiment, fired two salvos in a short period of time, causing the remnants of the two Japanese wings to suffer heavy losses in the first round of artillery fire.

In order to solve the remnants of the 120th Division in the shortest possible time, so as to free up this main division as much as possible and devote it to other battlefields. In the pre-war preparations for the front line of Yan's housework, Tao Jingfei increased the allocation of artillery for the troops participating in the front line of Yan's housework as much as possible. In order to concentrate superior artillery fire in the shortest possible time, the resistance of the remnants of the 120th Division was weakened as much as possible.

However, considering the shape of the battle, as well as the relatively close combat distance of ambush warfare. The most powerful 150 howitzer was reinforced by only one company, but the 107 rocket artillery, 105 howitzer, and 76-millimeter cannon of the division's artillery that participated in the battle were all transferred to Yanjiawu to participate in the battle, and two 120-millimeter mortar batteries were added to the division.

After receiving the signal to open fire, the participating artillerymen followed the combat order previously issued. In the first round of artillery fire, the barrel artillery fired six rapid fires, and the rocket artillery fired two salvos. As for the shooting scale, it was all calibrated as soon as the troops arrived at Yan's housework.

Only the artillery observer in front of the front, providing the simplest coordinates, can fully carry out accurate fire from these artillery pieces. The swarms of shells, as if they had eyes, exploded accurately in the marching sequence of the two Japanese wings. In the ensuing battle, the infantry hit there, and the artillery cover followed.

The antiaircraft artillery and antiaircraft machine guns belonging to the participating units also all participated in the fire support of ground operations. The twin 23-mm anti-aircraft guns and the quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns, after the battle began, flattened their bodies and fired directly at the Japanese army's marching sequence, directly covering the infantry to attack the Japanese army.

Under the cover of the artillery group's all-out firepower, the two regiments that were responsible for the main ambush mission, one in the south and the other in the north, were like two sharp knives, and quickly divided and encircled the remnants of the 120th Division. Before the two wings of Japanese troops could react, the attacking forces that surrounded the anti-coalition on three sides had already divided the two wings into two separate pieces.

As for the two squads that were put in front by Yanagawa Shinichi as a scout, they found that the main force behind them was ambushed, and they were preparing to turn back to support, under the rapid offensive launched by the frontal troops. Not even a single wave was set off, and it was completely pressed into the whirlpool set off by the anti-United Nations attack force.

Putting all his thoughts on whether there would be an attack in front of him, and not considering whether there would be ambushes on the side of the Japanese army, he suffered a loss. The 260th Wing, which retreated along the southern line of the old road of the Four Girls Temple, suffered heavy casualties despite the first round of fire attacks by the Anti-Japanese Union. But the situation is better, and it can barely maintain the establishment.

However, as the focus of the first round of artillery fire, the 261st Wing, which withstood the first round of fire of the Anti-Japanese Federation, was 70% of the shells. The original establishment was relatively complete, but the entire establishment was immediately defeated. Under the first round of attacks, the entire sequence was rushed to pieces, and basically lost the ability to resist.

The 261st Wing was completely defeated under the first round of offensive of the Anti-Japanese Federation. It was no longer possible to organize effective resistance, and the squadrons to which they belonged could only resist passively on their own. In other words, the 261st Wing was completely in chaos as soon as the battle began.

At the same time, the 261st Wing was defeated in the first round of strikes, which not only exposed all the flanks of the 260th Wing at once, but also the danger of being quickly surrounded. The remnants of the 120th Division, which had withdrawn to the front line of Yan's housework, fell into a complete passivity as soon as the battle began.

Shinichi Yanagawa is also a character, after discovering that the situation is not good. Immediately abandoned the original plan to continue the eastward retreat, and ordered the already chaotic battlefield, as soon as the troops could be contacted, immediately turn south and retreat along the Mache River. Strive to take advantage of the fact that there is no enemy situation in the south to force the crossing of the Mache River in order to gain a glimmer of life.

On the front line of Ningling and Qingyun on the north bank of the Maji River, Yanagawa Shinichi, who had been fighting for a period of time, was still very clear about the overall situation of the Maji River. Although the average depth of the Maji River at this time was about 1.5 meters, it was somewhat difficult for the diminutive Japanese to wade through.

But the riverbed of this section of the Horse Cheek River is not a flat river. 1.5 meters is the average depth, but the river is still deep and shallow. During the period of the Leling operation, although the offensive did not progress smoothly and he suffered heavy losses, Yanagawa Shinichi still made many preparations.

He has long figured out the depth of the entire Dongningling section of the Maji River, all the way to the Xiaobo line. As the river of life and death behind the battlefield he is in, how deep is the Maji River, there are shallows, where the river channel is narrow and the water depth is relatively large, he still has detailed information in his hands.

Wading under enemy artillery blockade, albeit with considerable risk. Maybe even the entire 260th Wing has its own 120th division and regimental headquarters, and the remaining few men and horses may not be able to cross the river. But at present, this kind of ruined approach is already the only way to survive.

It's just that the only troops he can contact at this time are his division headquarters and the 260th Wing that followed the action. Even then, most of the search team, which was ahead of the retreat sequence, and a third of the remnants of the 260th Wing, had been divided by the enemy. It was not possible to retreat on the line of the Mache River, which turned south to the south, as he had ordered.

As for the 261st Wing north of the Sinusi River, it was not only scattered by the anti-United Nations troops that rushed up, but also divided into countless pieces, large and small. Even the connection with the 260 Wing has been completely severed. Even if you want to carry out his orders, there is basically no possibility other than a miracle.

The helpless Yanagawa Shinichi faced an opponent who had an absolute advantage in both firepower and troops, as well as a sharply deteriorating battle situation. Ignoring the anti-union forces attacking from multiple routes along the way, they continued to attack rapidly. With part of the troops of the 260th Wing who were still around, as well as most of the men and horses of the division and regimental headquarters, they fought and retreated in the direction of the Mache River.

It's just that the fantasy is very full, but the reality is cruel. Under the three-way siege of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the remnants of the 260th Wing and the 120th Division, together with the divisional and regimental headquarters guards that had always remained intact before, lost half of their entire strength and barely struggled to the point where they could see the not wide surface of the Mache River.

On the broken embankment on the north bank of the Horse Cheek River, suddenly a call came and knocked his men down in pieces to tell him, and the only one of them seemed to be the real way out, at least on the surface. An anti-aircraft machine gun company deployed on the embankment of the north river of the Maji River flattened the barrels of all four-pack 14-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and gave a solid lesson to the Japanese troops in front of them with a dense barrage of bullets, telling them that this road was impassable.

The powerful 14 mm machine gun bullets made the Japanese troops in the 260th Wing and the 120th Division immediately feel like they were stuck in hell. As long as every bullet hits the target, the best outcome is that the whole person is interrupted by the waist. It's not that you're either dead or maimed, but you get an express ticket to hell directly.

While the anti-aircraft machine guns on the river embankment opened fire, the 120, 82, and 60 mortars deployed behind the river embankment, forming several trapezoidal artillery groups, also continued to accurately smash mortar shells on the 260 Wing in groups. Together with the flat-firing anti-aircraft machine guns, the only remaining Japanese troops around Yanagawa Shinichi and the Maji River built a fire net that devoured a qiē life.

Looking at the dense machine-gun bullets hitting the embankment of the Maji River, as well as the mortar shells that exploded in patches, his only remaining subordinates were killed and wounded. The only three crooked machine guns left by his side were neither able to suppress nor able to resist. As soon as the only heavy machine gun was set up, it was sent to the west by a mortar shell, and it was directly sent to the west with the gun. In the face of the enemy's fire blockade and attack, there is no way to fight back.

At this moment, Yanagawa Shinichi still didn't understand that the retreat plan he sent to Lieutenant General Hideyoshi Sugiura, the commander of the 115th Division, had fallen into the hands of his opponent. The enemy army used the information sent to the door by itself, and had already laid a big trap for itself here.

Otherwise, even if the enemy's reinforcements arrived, it would be impossible to judge their own retreat route in such a short period of time, and set up such an ambush circle for themselves on the front line of Yan's housework on the way through which they must retreat. The retreat method that he painstakingly came up with was to completely bury his 120th division, the only remaining strength, in this Jilu border area in advance.

Knowing this, why did he bother to think about it in the first place, pondering the way to retreat, and trying to pull the 115th Division to retreat together. It is better to simply withdraw directly from the Leling line to the south across the Mache River. Or simply stay on the position on the line from Leling to Qingyun, so maybe the whole army will not be wiped out so quickly.

Thinking of this, he turned around to look for the chief of staff who had sworn that this retreat plan would never fall into the Kang Alliance, but found that his arrogant and arrogant chief of staff had long since been rushed there, and almost no one knew his whereabouts.

Although he hated Nakanishi Manchu Jiro to death in his heart, Yanagawa Shinichi also knew that the most important thing at the moment was not to hold the chief of staff accountable. It's how to find a way to escape from the enemy's painstaking calculations. If we continue to delay here, I am afraid that my 120th division will not even have any bones left.

In the situation that there is no way to go to heaven and no door to enter the ground, Yanagawa Shinichi simply gritted his teeth. commanded the only remaining 260 Wing around him, regardless of the anti-union behind him, and immediately made every effort to break through to the front line of the Mache River. As long as he can break through the enemy's resistance along the Maji River and have few troops, he may still have a glimmer of life.

Although I have always looked down on the Chinese, the Chinese often say in the art of war that they put the place of death and then live, and the two points of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat. At this moment, Yanagawa Shinichi is skillfully used. Knowing that no matter which direction he retreated, he would be dead, so he simply launched an attack on the line of the Maji River, trying to forcibly open an escape route.
