The advantage of the Weiqing assault step is to maintain a certain distance to be guaranteed. It is not advantageous to fight bayonets with Wei Qing-style assault steps and the 38 big covers of the little devils. Of course, the Cadet Army has a special white-knuckle combat weapon - the broadsword. In fact, since the 29th Army became famous for its broadsword, the Chinese army generally popularized this tactic, that is, the Sichuan army, which was known for its poverty, and the soldiers almost all had a broadsword, the difference was that their broadsword was not as sharp as other troops because of financial problems.

From the moment the Japanese fighters reappeared on the battlefield, the fate of the Cadet Army Artillery Division was already doomed.

The reason why Ouyang Yun took special care of You Hongjun to finish the cannonballs as quickly as possible was that he had long been ready to give up the artillery division. To put it mildly, as early as the decision to rescue the 103rd Division and the 117th Division, the fate of the artillery division was already doomed.

This point is well known to the officers and men of the garrison who have a little military knowledge.

What a crazy move and what a poignant decision to let the division-level artillery be cannon fodder. If there was a way, presumably Ouyang Yun would not do this-everything was so that more people could break through the quagmire of Nanjing. If the artillery division is not put into battle, although the tank unit alone can break through the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop, as long as the Japanese fighters appear, the tank unit will inevitably become the target of the first round of bombing, and once the tank unit is destroyed prematurely, in the case of not having an advantage in troops, let alone rescuing the 103rd Division and the 117th Division, it is difficult to say whether the rescue force itself can break through the encirclement. Immediately after the destruction of the artillery division, the tank division will become the second target. Sadly, for the survival of the large army, the tank unit will also be used as cannon fodder to attract Japanese firepower - that's why Ouyang Yun gave that seemingly ridiculous order, so that all the tanks would keep only one driver, and everyone else would get off.

If the Japanese aircraft group were to deal with the artillery division alone, it would not take more than 20 minutes. The reason why the artillery division held out for so long was because the air defense forces helped them share part of the threat. As early as after being left by Ouyang Yun to give a face-to-face lecture, You Hongjun realized that the advanced artillery he led would become a decoy force exuding a huge fragrance. The roar of the engine motor of the day flew from the direction of Nanjing, and You Hongjun's heart sank - there was not much time left for himself, but unfortunately, there were still a lot of shells that did not go out - a huge Lang fee. He was not afraid of death. In fact, to be able to command a huge artillery unit with a thunderous might already felt worthy of his life. The only thing that disturbed him was that his men did not realize this, and they did not know that their beloved commander had abandoned them. During the march, many brothers who were good friends also joked with him: "Lao You, now you are all the master." I heard that the commander specially left you to talk just now, and when you return to Guangdong, you will definitely be promoted, right? When the artillery army in the city arrives, don't forget the brothers. ”

"I don't have high requirements, just be a company commander."

"That's not too much! Go to hell! Ha Lu Ha"

……

All the artillery was spewing flames as fast as they could, and the commanders were too slow, and they shouted: "Quick! Fast! A little faster. Shoot out the shells and we'll be able to retreat! ”

He wanted to say something, but in the end he could only lower his head to hide his emotions. No one noticed that his eyes were already full of tears at this moment.

The air defense unit led by Xue Ming is another cannon fodder unit. The difference is that they have a certain ability to protect themselves, and because of this ability, they will become the priority target of the Japanese aircraft. After receiving Ouyang Yun's order, the officers and men of the air defense unit set up an air defense position around the artillery division's position, and everyone was waiting for the battle, thinking that they would be able to beat a Japanese plane and brilliantly fulfill the order given by the commander. As the supreme commander of the air defense force, Xue Ming's expectations for this battle are not just a Japanese plane.

"There are artillery divisions to undertake the first round of bombardment, at least three!" He made up his mind in his heart.

The presence of artillery divisions was a nightmare for the Japanese troops in dense formations, so in a telegram requesting support from the air force, Yoshizu Ryosuke specifically mentioned the threat from the artillery units of the Shina Army, saying that if the threat was not made clear as soon as possible, the battle would be lost and unwon.

The artillery division became the target of the first round of bombing by the Japanese planes.

After the first battle of Jiangyin Fortress, the size of the air defense unit of the Cadet Army has been greatly reduced. And the tactics used by Xue Ming are quite cunning. He divided them into two parts, to the left and right of the artillery division, and in each part there were three anti-aircraft guns arranged in a triangular arrangement as guiding fire, all of which were fired with tracer rounds. And there is a unified command of which plane to hit by specialized people.

Xue Ming personally commanded the troops on the left. As he shouted out his target through the loudspeaker, three anti-aircraft guns opened fire at the same time, and three chains of light flashed towards the target.

Almost instantly, the three anti-aircraft guns fired more than 30 shells in one go, and none of them hit. However, their task was to guide, and in the next moment, more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns and dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the Japanese plane was immediately blown up.

Despite a good start, in this round of shield and spear battle, the shield is still at a clear disadvantage.

As soon as Japanese planes began to bomb air defense positions, the battle took on a one-sided pattern. In the end, the air defense forces, with almost total losses, shot down three Japanese planes and damaged one. And that's quite a feat. Xue knew that if it weren't for the fact that the Japanese machine was completely attracted by the artillery division for the first time, with such a small number of troops in his hands, it would have been an excellent performance to be able to take down a fighter.

The artillery division was destroyed, and the artillery division command collective, including You Hongjun, was martyred. The air defense force suffered heavy casualties, and only more than 60 people survived in the end in a team of more than 500 people, including Xue Ming, who was heavily protected by a platoon of guards sent by Ouyang Yun.

Xue Ming is quite good at fighting air defense, and he is a talent who appeared in the battle of Jiangyin Fortress, although he himself wants to go to the national disaster with his brothers, but how could Ouyang Yun allow him to make this mistake of "personal heroism".

The artillery division and the air defense unit held the Japanese plane for more than 20 minutes as the main force, and these more than 20 minutes were too precious for the garrison. Twenty minutes passed, and when the Japanese plane flew over the battlefield and began to look for the next target, the devil pilots were all dumbfounded. The imperial army in the khaki military uniform and the Chinese soldiers in camouflage and earthy gray are mixed together, you have me, I have you, and it is impossible to list them separately. This means that while bombing the Chinese people, it will definitely affect their own people.

The Japanese planes lingered over the battlefield for about five minutes before making a choice and diving towards the tank division.

The tank division has fought so far, there are still more than 30 tanks left, at this moment, these tanks are rushing left and right in the Japanese camp, and where they pass, they can't escape or are delusional little devils who block the car like watermelons, and they are crushed into a red and white puddle, although the number of kills and injuries is only average, but the psychological shock caused to those "bushido" is earth-shattering. Soon, wherever these tanks went, the devils in front of them scattered like alarmed flies.

More than 30 tanks were scattered, and because of the speed advantage, they completely killed the devils, which made it difficult for the Japanese planes to target bombing. Only half of these fighters were able to carry two bombs at the same time, and they were equipped with a limited number of bombs, and half of the bombs were lost, and they even killed and injured their own people, and in the end, all the bombs were dropped, and only eleven tanks were destroyed.

Ouyang Yun paid close attention to the situation of the Japanese planes, and the group of Japanese planes began to fly away from the battlefield, so he immediately changed the combat order: "All of them are here, change guns, shoot!" Money is bright, let the remaining tanks gather, replenish the combat crew, it's time to exert force! ”

The division-level command units of the garrison army are equipped with walkie-talkies, which are advanced communication tools, which ensures that Ouyang Yun's orders can be transmitted to all units in a timely manner. In just ten minutes, this order reached the ears of every soldier, and the next moment, the originally sparse gunfire suddenly exploded like beans, and when it came, those little devils who were holding 38 big covers and were still fighting bayonets were killed in pieces, and the stalemate on the battlefield was immediately broken.

"Toot toot!" The trumpet sounded again, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded throughout the battlefield. I feel that I have been waiting for Wu Keren and Fu Kaixing for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity to fight back. "Brothers, kill!" Wu Keren brandished his pistol and shouted hissedly, and behind him, the wounded soldiers with glorious bullets in their arms, looking at their comrades-in-arms who suddenly came alive in front of them, couldn't help but shed tears.

"We were rescued!"

"We've won!"

"Kill the devil!"

Some people rejoice, and some people worry. When the aviation appeared on the battlefield, Yoshizu Ryosuke saw the dawn of victory, and once personally supervised the battle, wanting to take this opportunity to defeat the opposite Shina army in one fell swoop. However, the situation on the battlefield changed so quickly, only half an hour passed, with the sound of guns and cannons, it suddenly burst out like a volcanic eruption, and the next moment, he was surprised to find that the people of Zhi suddenly burst out as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Hold on!"

"Kill, give!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we need reinforcements."

"General, the 18 Brigade has been routed."

……

One bad news after another came, seeing that the originally heavy earthy yellow flow of people in front of him was being washed away by the camouflage and earthy gray flow of people, thinning down, Ji Zhu Liangfu's heart was like ashes, and he knew that this time he would be able to escape back safely, and he would probably not be able to escape the severe punishment of the military court.

"How weird is that? What did it turn out to be like this? He thought back to what had happened since the beginning of the war, and he couldn't understand it. After the end, he remembered the two battles he had experienced in Changping and Bagua Pass, and gradually realized that it was not my fault that the battle was like this, nor that the soldiers were not brave enough, but that the advanced weapons of the people of China had far surpassed that of the imperial army. Unwilling! I didn't realize it until this moment. What a heartache! The leaders of the base camp are still dreaming of being the second strongest army in the world-Yoshizu Ryosuke thought so, suddenly lifted the command knife on the ground, slammed his abdomen, and then dragged it - "Division commander!" "General!" …… The devils around him were startled and hurriedly pounced, but it was too late.

In Yoshiju Ryosuke's eyes, the sparkle had collapsed - after Kenji Dohihara, the Japanese army had once again lost a division commander, and in an extremely humiliating way.
