The battle lasted for more than an hour, and by the time the hour hand pointed to half past ten, the situation on the battlefield had changed dramatically. The Japanese gunboats, which had been cruising lightly on the nearby river, were rushing towards the river closest to the battlefield like crazy, and at the same time, the Japanese reconnaissance planes, which were not originally responsible for the reconnaissance mission in this area, also flew hungry from afar. However, none of this seems to change the fate of the Yamada detachment.

It's a good day, at least for now, and although there is smoke billowing on the ground and a flickering fire from time to time, the sun is high and the clouds are fluttering in the sky.

This kind of weather is a day to win the battle! Ouyang Yun had already left the underground headquarters at this time, and was leading a group of command personnel to stand in a relatively high place, watching the battle through binoculars.

The chariot wing of the Yamada detachment was now in a state of collapse, and nine out of ten of the flaming scrapped tanks on the battlefield were painted with the sun flag.

The "empty ......" was about a dozen kilometers away from the battlefield, and in the southwest of where Ouyang Yun and the others stood, a rumbling sound sounded, and then, nearly a hundred shells were wrapped in fireballs visible to the naked eye, and quickly flew to the rear of the battlefield.

The artillery division under the command of Li Hansoul finally gained strength, and their first target was the position of the heavy artillery wing of the Japanese 11th Division.

Nearly 100 heavy guns of 150 mm caliber roared at the same time, and the scene was truly impressive. Relying on the superiority of technology, because it far exceeded the heavy artillery used by the Japanese army in terms of double diameter, the range of the heavy artillery of the Cadet Army exceeded that of the Japanese army by at least five kilometers. In this way, even if all these heavy guns were towed, they would be able to shift positions before the Japanese retaliated, not to mention whether the Japanese still had the ability to retaliate.

Speaking of which, whether it is a Jiguang tank or a self-propelled artillery, it has been a while since it was successfully developed and equipped with troops, but it is the first time that it has really played a role and played a decisive role. Artillery is the king of infantry, and as for tanks, it will be the hegemon on the battlefield for a long time to come.

The combat vehicles of the Cadet Army also have self-propelled guns, and the technical advantage is huge, but it is the first time that they can be used in such a combination and participate in a battle together. If Ouyang Yun was not confident in his technical superiority before, then after this battle, he would have no worries about this at all.

Yes, whether it is a Jiguang tank or a self-propelled gun, they are powerful enough, at least when facing the same kind of troops of the little devils, they can have an absolute advantage.

Li Hansoul is undoubtedly an excellent commander, just from the grasp of the fighter, Ouyang Yun thinks to himself, he can't compare.

After only five rounds of rapid fire, the Japanese heavy artillery positions were destroyed. There is no doubt that the Japanese army is only a wing of heavy artillery, while the number of heavy artillery of the Cadet Army is more than twice that of the other side. That's not all, because of the advanced communication system, Li Hansoul obtained detailed coordinates - these coordinate data had been measured before the war, so after mastering the accurate shooting of Zhuyuan, the damage inflicted on the Japanese army by the artillery division's strike was considerable.

The rumbling cannon sounded, and Tada's face immediately changed. He was not far from the heavy artillery position, and as far as he could see, the position of the heavy artillery wing, along with the orderly arrangement of heavy artillery and the operating artillery, was being reduced to fragments and corpses by the fire of the explosion. "The Heavy Artillery Wing is gone?" He gritted his teeth and said, then scolded weakly: "These guys from the Aviation Legion, didn't they say that they didn't find that the people of China have artillery?" What's going on now? ”

Tada had wronged the Japanese air forces that were on reconnaissance missions. In fact, in order to obtain the most accurate battlefield intelligence, these devil air units lowered their flight altitude to a very low altitude almost as far as a rifle could hit when they carried out reconnaissance missions, however, they seriously underestimated the camouflage ability of the cadet army.

In this area of Pukou, there is no so-called forest, and the place where large ordnance such as cannons can really be hidden, that is, the sparse forests around some villages. The sappers of the Cadet Corps made full use of this "geographical advantage" and successfully hid those heavy artillery and self-propelled guns in the middle.

"General, the people of Shina have caught up, and the remaining troops of the Yamada detachment have already started sniping, but they will definitely not last long. What are we going to do? A large Zuo walked up to Tada Jun and asked.

The tanks of the Shobing Army followed the defeated tanks of the Yamada detachment, and the infantry of the Yamada detachment, which had no strong fortifications to act as a force, wanted to stop them, which was an almost impossible task. In Tada's judgment, the Yamada detachment will definitely collapse, and next, the Shina people will definitely seize this opportunity to squeeze the remnants of the Yamada detachment towards their own troops, and then take the opportunity to pursue and expand the results. And the headquarters, with the same lack of fortifications to defend, will inevitably be forced to delay the advance of the Chinese tank troops with the flesh and blood of the soldiers.

Now, his wisest decision should be to choose to retreat, but once he really retreats, then the Pukou strategy may never have a chance to be realized, so it will undoubtedly have an extremely bad impact on the next series of plans of the dispatched army.

Tada Jun was making some difficult choices, when suddenly, there was a clear sound of shells tearing the air in front of him, and the artillery fire that had been raging on the heavy artillery position just now actually covered the place where he was standing - the hateful Shina people, they had actually begun to shell their infantry positions.

"General! Dangerous! His men could also tell from the sound of the cannonballs flying, and several of them shouted so that they pounced and pinned him firmly under him.

On the artillery position of the Xuebing Army, after Li Hansoul contacted Qian Guangming on the front line, he learned that the few rounds of rapid fire just now had destroyed the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, and immediately ordered all the heavy artillery to revise the firing targets, and put the target of the attack on the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, which was waiting for the whole army. Li Hansoul said to Qian Guangming like this: "Old money! Don't do it, just do it, even the 11th Division is served together! ”

Qian Guangming replied very simply: "I have no problem here, but, Commander Li, you have to be careful of the revenge of the little devil!" ”

Li Hansoul naturally understood what he was referring to, and said: "Don't worry, anyway, after this appearance, it is impossible for us to stay in Pukou anymore, after helping you clear the road ahead, we will immediately transfer to Nanjing." I'm worried about you, if the little devil's plane can't catch us, they will throw all their anger on you. ”

Qian Guangming smiled: "It's okay, let's run fast." Commander Li, do you want to talk to the commander, if there is another infantry of the division, it will be perfect. ”

Li Hansoul smiled: "Boy, don't have too much appetite, I want to eat all the 11th Division, be careful not to support yourself." You just have to do your part, the commander, he has a number. ”

"Ha Lu Ha! We've only consumed half of our shells on average now, well, I'll give the order to retreat when a third is left. ”

Although Li Hansoul and Qian Guangming are cooperating for the first time, this cooperation is intimate. There is heavy artillery in front of the road, which saves Qian Guangming's tank troops a lot of thoughts, at least, don't worry about those anti-aircraft guns or anything. The targets of these anti-aircraft guns are so big that they can't be operated by one person. Therefore, the Japanese army over there pushed a few cannons up, and with a call from Qian Guangming, more than a dozen 150-mm heavy howitzer shells fell down, and those guns, along with dozens of devils next to them, immediately returned to the west after a dozen mushroom clouds.

On a high ground in front of the bunker, Ouyang Yun took in everything that happened on the battlefield through the telescope, and the corners of his mouth were slowly curling a smile. Liu Kui stood behind him, only seeing his blood boiling, and suggested at this time: "Commander, press another division and squeeze the little devil directly into the river!" Hehe, if you'll allow me, I'd like to go up and open the meat. ”

Ouyang Yun shook his head, looked at the sky, and said, "Another division?" I'm not crazy yet. It's been more than an hour since the little devil's plane left, and I'll be back again soon, and I just hope that Qian Guangming can slow down a little faster-"

The Japanese army's aviation has always been a sharp sword hanging over the head of the cadet army. The reason why Ouyang Yun only invested two infantry regiments as scavengers for the tank force was worried that once the little devil's aircraft cluster came, too much investment would make its bombing more efficient. As for the artillery, as Li Hansoul said, after this battle, it will definitely move towards Nanjing, and the farther away the better. Because after the destruction of the tank wing of the Yamada detachment, the presence of heavy artillery was no longer so significant. On the contrary, once the artillery division remains in Pukou, it will definitely cause a frenzied retaliation by the Japanese aviation units. Those artillery pieces below 75 mm are counted, and those heavy guns with a caliber of more than 105 mm are all baby bumps in Ouyang Yun's heart, they can't be destroyed by the little devils so easily.

Heavy artillery and tanks, such a combination, its power is really extraordinary! Even though the Japanese army was extremely fierce - just where Ouyang Yun's telescope could observe, the Japanese army organized at least a dozen waves of special offensive battles. The hideous faces of those devils who had taken off their steel helmets, had white belts wrapped around their foreheads, and carried explosive bags in their arms were almost clearly visible. However, because Qian Guangming controlled the speed of the tank's advance very well, and the machine gunners on the tank were not stingy with bullets at all, plus the officers and soldiers of the 22nd and 40th regiments followed to pick up the leaks, so most of the devils who desperately wanted to exchange "jade pieces" for the tanks of the Cadet Army failed to take the initiative to detonate the explosive package and were torn to pieces by a loud bang because the explosive package was hit.

And behind these death squads, I think there are more devils who are determined to die. It can be guessed from the huge serial explosions caused by the artillery division's shelling - more human bombs didn't even stand up, they were directly hit by the artillery commanded by Li Hansoul, and were shattered in the serial explosions.

On the position of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, after Tada Jun was rescued from artillery fire by his subordinates to safety, looking at the continuous explosions not far in front of him, the firelight in the sky, the fireworks that rushed to the sky, the old devil was so blue that he couldn't say a word for five minutes.

In fact, he was issuing effective orders at this time, and its effectiveness was unknown.

The artillery fire of the people of China was quite insidious, first covering the rear of the large army of the 11th Division, and then shrinking backwards in turn, and in a short period of an hour, the entire 11th Division was combed through the artillery fire in turn.

And just as the artillery fire began to sweep towards the positions of the Yamada detachment, one bad news after another came, making Tada Jun almost desperate: "Division commander! So-and-so Dazuo is dedicated! "General, Captain XX is killed!" ……

Finally, Tada Jun howled: "Ushijima Sadao bastard, didn't he say that he has destroyed all the artillery of the Shina people? Those guys from the aviation forces, why did they not find the artillery of the China? Pukou, the whole Pukou is such a big place! ”

After howling for a while, Tada finally calmed down and realized that he needed the help of the fleet. Yes, although his original idea was to rely on the strength of his own headquarters to annihilate the Cadet Army here, but now, with the loss of the heavy artillery wing, there is no long-range strike firepower, and it seems that he can only rely on the large-caliber naval guns of those gunboats cruising in the Yangtze River to suppress the artillery of the Cadet Corps.

Whether it was the Yamada detachment or the 11th Division, the resistance of the Japanese army was very tenacious. Even, when it was discovered that the artillery of the Cadet Corps began to bombard the infantry positions of the side, the only 21 tanks left in the tank wing of the Yamada detachment launched a decisive counterattack, and under the command of the awakened Yamada Meiji, the 21 tanks stopped one after another, and then turned around on the spot, stopped there directly, mobilized the turret, and began to play the role of a fixed battery.

The tank where Qian Guangming was located had already broken through to the front of the entire tank force at this time, Qian Guangming was standing in the position of the machine gunner, seeing the fierce reaction of the Japanese tank, the corner of Qian Division's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly: "If you look for death, you can't blame us!" Then, holding down the send button, he said calmly: "It's the end time, the target, the remaining tanks of the Japanese army!" Fire! ”

Yamada Meiji didn't know that the reason why the remaining Type 99 tanks on his side were able to survive so tenaciously under the front and rear attacks of the Cadet Army tanks was because Qian Guangming wanted to keep them to open the way for himself. And what he didn't know was that not long after their interception by Zhang Cheng's troops on the slope, all the tanks on the side had already been targeted. As a result, the tanks on their side had not yet stopped, and there was no shadow of the Jiguang tank in the sight in front of the gunner, and after dozens of loud noises of "boom-boom......, all the tanks of the Japanese army were hit almost simultaneously, and most of them were directly hit by the turret, and then in the earth-shattering "boom" explosion, half of the tanks turned into fragments.

After making the decision to fight to the death with the tank units of the Shina people, Yamada Meiji got out of the hull without hesitation and took the position of machine gunner. And his move also made Chen Shaobing, the commander of the 040th Regiment of the Cadet Army, who had always been dissatisfied with eating ashes behind the tank.

When he first received the order to attack, Chen Shaobing was very excited-there was a battle to fight. However, after running behind the tank for about two or three kilometers, he scolded those guys in the tank division in his heart: "TMD, everyone is a soldier, why can't the wind and the sun when you sit in the car, and we have to eat soil all the way!" Well, there is a battle to be fought, but the machine gunner on the tank is a bit unauthentic! Finally, a few popped up, but it's good! Lao Tzu's gun was raised, and the machine gun sounded, and there was already a violent explosion over there, and then, a group of devils fell. TMD, since you have your own machine gunners, what else do you want us to do? ”

Chen Shaobing was complaining, and Yamada Meiji sent it to the door. In order to kill a few more devils, Chen Shaobing rushed forward, and just before Yamada Meiji's tank stopped, he was wondering if he wanted to get a grenade to stuff into the devil tank. He was worried about how to catch up with the tank, but fortunately, Yamada Meiji ordered the tank to stop, and he got out. At this time, Chen Shaobing was overjoyed, he stood still with a cruel smile, the gun was raised, the trigger was pulled, and a shuttle bullet went out. Poor Yamada Meiji, who had just drilled out of the car with the confidence of death, had not yet set up this POSS, and a string of bullets came over him, immediately tearing his head and upper body apart.

And he was also fortunate to become the third Japanese officer at the level of brigade commander to die at the hands of the Cadet Army since the Battle of Nanjing.

With the help of the artillery division commanded by Li Hansoul, Qian Guangming crushed the Yamada detachment as a breeze. And with the last 21 Type 99 tanks all destroyed, and the detachment leader Yamada Meiji was also killed by Chen Shaobing, the Yamada detachment, which had already killed and wounded more than half of them, immediately collapsed.

At this time, the Japanese gunboats cruising on the Yangtze River finally gathered together and began to exert their might, and a silver light flashed under the clouds in the east, which was the Japanese fighter planes coming quickly.

After Qian Guangming crushed the Yamada detachment, he was about to lead the troops to continue to advance, so as to give the 11th Division a little color, Ouyang Yun's retreat order arrived.

As the reconnaissance detachment of the Broadsword Regiment of the Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade sent back the news of the Japanese gunboats' assembly, Ouyang Yunzhi said that it was time to accept it when he saw it, otherwise, if the tank troops suffered too much losses, then in the next battle to defend Nanjing, the combat power of the Cadet Army would be greatly reduced. "Old Qian, retreat, pay attention to dispersion and concealment. By the way, those who have lost their ability to move, let the 22nd Regiment and the 40th Regiment blow up," After issuing this order, looking at the dense shells flying from the river in the distance, Ouyang Yun couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "It's a pity, the technology content of missiles is too high, otherwise, bring a dozen shore-to-ship missiles over, hehe, this time it can really teach a big lesson to the little devil." ”
