Chapter 198: Blitzkrieg (Part II)

"'Our sacrifice will pave the way for victory for the great army!' Well said! When the battle is fought to this point, it is no longer about the weapons and strategies and tactics of the two sides, but about the willpower of the two armies. Liu Bocheng, commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, looked solemn after reading the telegram, and said his opinion with tears in his eyes.

"Let's continue to fight, even if the bombs are gone, we still have machine guns!" Gao Zhihang, commander of the 15 th Army Flying Regiment, and Chang Qiankun, political commissar, also immediately expressed their position.

"Very good, then we will continue to attack and destroy these 100,000 devils in one fell swoop!" Hu Weidong finally made a decision on behalf of the General Front Committee. It is said that when the General Front Committee was first established, there was still a lot of debate about who would call the shots, but the great man of Lanzhou sent three telegrams to support Hu Weidong, and transferred the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Peng, who was far above Hu Weidong in seniority and prestige, back to Lanzhou to discuss the matter, which moved Hu Weidong very much, and therefore underwent tremendous pressure, but he did not lose the courage to take risks after all

After the order was issued, Hu Weidong suddenly remembered the little guy who was now thousands of miles away, and his heart couldn't help but move, "Maybe we should airdrop the pilot again?" ”

"Block them!" As soon as a devil Shaozo said this, a tank shell fell beside him, and he fell to the ground unconscious only when he heard a "boom".

"Hit! weishenme? Weishenme will be a ricochet? After a devil artillery operated the battle defense gun and fired a shot, his face turned cloudy and shouted. His cannon attracted at least five enemy tanks and armored vehicles. But this devil still continued to load and aim, but before he could shoot the shell, a shuttle of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets directly pierced his body and broke it into two, and the internal organs and wei flowed all over the ground

A tank squadron (15 tanks and armored vehicles) belonging to the 10th Division of the Japanese Army bravely rushed out and tried to intercept the armored brigade of the 15th Army, but after the baptism of many battles after the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in North China, the Red Army's Western Expedition and the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan, the officers and soldiers of the armored brigade of the 15th Army are no longer Wuxia Amun. Although there is still a little gap between the quality of individual soldiers and the Japanese armored troops, it is no longer a qualitative gap, in the face of a numerical superiority of more than 8:1. This limited gap was nothing at all, and less than ten minutes later, the armored brigade crossed the still smoking devil tanks. Continue to advance in depth

However, the 10th Division, as one of the most elite permanent divisions and regiments of the devil, is indeed worthy of admiration for the quality of officers and men, even if the formation has been completely dispersed by the enemy's armored torrent, there are still many Japanese officers and soldiers who spontaneously block the attack, because there are not many weapons that can be anti-tank, many of them are directly holding blasting canisters, explosive packs, Type 89 grenades used in grenadiers, etc., and the combat vehicles of the armored brigade are all destroyed, causing great losses to the armored brigade, especially the slower medium tanks. Almost all of them were blown up (including the tracks that were blown off and incapacitated, which will not be repeated later.) )。 Brigade and regimental cadres lost 3 and seriously wounded 2, but the armored brigade is still advancing!

"I now finally understand what the commander said, 'If everyone in the infantry is determined to die, even if they have only the most basic anti-tank capabilities, the power of the armored forces will be greatly limited.'" Although they had to kill and wound a dozen or even dozens of people to blow up one of our tanks, there were too many of them, and if we continued to fight like this, I was afraid that before they could be crushed, our tanks would all be wiped out." Even Du Yang, who was strongly advocating the advance of the troops at the beginning, is now frowning. Now there is only one living cadre left in the regiment, and there are less than 50 people left in the whole regiment, and the cruelty of the battle has exceeded his psychological limit

"Airplanes! Enemy? No, it's our plane! Our plane is here again! A tank crew was startled at first, and immediately jumped up with excitement after realizing that the plane was coming from the east, after experiencing a bitter battle without air support, these armored soldiers have all deeply understood how important air support is to them...,

"The bombs are gone, but we still have machine guns!" After the radio station of the armored brigade received a telegram from the planes of the world, some officers and men with flexible brains had already thought of the stakes: The plane's machine-gun strafing must rush to a low altitude, and the danger of being shot down by anti-aircraft fire is far greater than throwing aerial bombs. After they said this, the remaining officers and men of the armored brigade were all deeply moved, and Xu Guangda, who was still bleeding from his head at this time, shouted, "The men of the aviation force are not afraid of death, are we armored soldiers afraid?" Advance the whole army and go on the offensive! ”

At this time, the airport in Zhangjiakou had been cleaned up as quickly as possible, and a group of pilots immediately boarded the various planes at the airport that had not yet had time to be overhauled, and drove them one by one into the air, flying directly to the front line of the fierce battle. Among these planes were 12 Type 97 heavy bombers, each with a bomb load of up to 2,000 kilograms, and when they poured more than 20 tons of aerial bombs seized from Zhangjiakou Airport on the Japanese troops, the Japanese 10th Division, which had been able to hold out, could no longer hold on

Looking at his subordinates who had lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, the commander of the 10th Division, sighed deeply, and ordered the remnants of the command to burn the code book, maps, and various important documents and commit suicide by cutting their stomachs.

After the 10th Division was also defeated, the formation of the 100,000 Japanese army had been completely disrupted, and it fell into the extreme chaos of not being able to find a general and a general to find a soldier. Due to the special terrain along the Pingsui line, the north and south directions are lofty mountains and mountains, and they are also the base of the Eighth Route Army, and the east is probably hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops, coupled with the fear of the enemy's armored torrent, many Japanese remnants have chosen to retreat westward, but even the heads of the North China General Front Committee did not know in advance that the 125th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which had not participated in the war since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, suddenly crossed the Yellow River a few days ago under the command of its division commander Xu Xiangqian, and quietly occupied Datong. Intercepted the devil's way all at once (your support is my biggest motivation.) )
