The battle at Nanjin Kiln lasted only about a quarter of an hour, but the 11th Army lost nearly three brigades of infantry, and one wing of chariot troops was also lost, and to the pain of Okamura Ninji and Yoshimoto Sadaji and others, most of them did not die under the bombardment of the artillery fire of the Cadet Army, but fell into the icy water.

The advent of the cold wave was once regarded by Okamura as an opportunity for the 11th Army, but now, he knows that the cold wave is just a double-edged sword.

In the battle of Nanjin kiln, the reason why our army was able to achieve victory after the most was due to Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama. After he gathered about fifty imperial troops on the south bank, he routed the defenders in front of him with only one armored car, and directly expelled a division-sized student army from the battlefield of Yongxiu County, and captured a number of advanced artillery pieces of the enemy. Adjust the ones that fell into the river and those that were destroyed by the artillery fire, and change the ones to one by one! ”

"Hello!"

In the battle of Nanjin kiln, the Japanese army basically lost troops of the 17th Division, and Isamu Yokoyama himself was slightly wounded. Therefore, when Yoshimoto Sadaji drafted the battle report, he gave the first credit to this guy who opposed Okamura everywhere.

The reason why Isamu Yokoyama was injured was completely caused by his dizziness and loss of coolness.

At least one of the 11th Army's battle reports, which were later captured by the Chinese army and displayed together with the Nanjin kiln battle report drafted by Jiang Huangyong, is true, and that is a statement about Yokoyama Yong - after Yokoyama Yong landed on the shore, he did gather the remnants of his troops, and launched a jade-shattering attack on the position of the Nan'an Cadet Army with the help of an armored vehicle.

Of course, because the "Eagle" has retreated, the jade shatter has become a miracle victory.

The artillery bombardment of the 8th Division was too fierce, which dealt a great blow to the morale of the 17th and 106th Divisions. Even though the heavy artillery unit directly under the 11th Army immediately returned fire, the devils did not dare to believe that the return fire had an effect, so when Isamu Yokoyama sent people to stand on the embankment on the south bank and call for the Japanese troops on the north bank to cross the river, including Okamura Ninji and Yoshimoto Sadaji, they did not believe that Isamu Yokoyama had actually taken the south bank.

"Bage, these guys' guts have been bombarded by the artillery of the Zhinamen!" Yokoyama scolded Yong, but he had no choice but to go up and shout in person.

At this time, the sky had just opened, and from a distance of several hundred meters, it was impossible to see the figure on the opposite side at all, and Yokoyama Yong shouted in his throat, which convinced Okamura and the others that the one who shouted was Yokoyama Yong, not the conspiracy of the Chi Na people.

And because of the delay of about 40 minutes, on the river, many devils lying on the ice were frozen to death or died of excessive bleeding. There were nearly two thousand infantry in three brigades.

The large army began to cross the river from the east and west sides of the Nanjin Yao River, and at this time, the sky was already bright. Surrounded by more than 50 devils, Yokoyama began to clean up the battlefield, and when they came to the defenders' artillery position, which had been taken care of by the first round of artillery fire from his own department, he saw the so-called artillery pieces wrapped in wooden structures and iron sheets that were still burning, and Yokoyama was so brave that he almost vomited blood.

"Eight grids, yet, it's really like it!" An ensign walked over to a "cannon" that was still intact, looked at it and exclaimed.

Isamu Yokoyama looked over, and his face became more and more pale. He was glancing at the well-preserved "cannon" with a gloomy look in his eyes, and a surprise shout came from behind him: "Your Excellency, there is a real artillery truck here!" ”

"Really?" Yokoyama Yong looked over and found a gun carriage with a broken track, and after a pang in his heart, he was overjoyed and said: "It's really a new gun carriage for the people!" ”

The self-propelled guns of the Xuebing Army appeared on a small scale as early as the Battle of Nanjing, but at that time, after seeing the wreckage of the destroyer, the Japanese army regarded it as a Jiguang tank. In the Battle of Madang, the artillery units of the Cadet Corps shone at a critical moment, which was the decisive factor in causing huge casualties to the Japanese army. It was also after this battle that the Japanese army began to attach importance to this kind of self-contained artillery, and began to announce to the whole army, so that the front-line troops should pay attention to the capture of this type of artillery of the Cadet Army.

This is the only "JGL-918" lost by the Nanjin Kiln Combat Cadet Corps. Yokoyama walked over with interest, reached out and touched the cold camouflage shell, and said, "It's the real thing!" Ono, go in and take a look, are all the parts inside? ”

Ono was the second lieutenant, and with a "hay" sound, he climbed up, lifted the turret and was about to drill inside. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Not good! Then he turned and pounced on Yokoyama.

At the same time, several devils saw the white smoke coming out of the turret mouth, and they reacted instantly, and the one who was close to Yokoyama quickly went up and threw him to the ground, and the others also fell to the ground one after another.

"There's a bomb!" Someone shouted, and the next moment, a "boom" explosion came, and Isamu Yokoyama only felt a scorching breath almost passing close to his body, and then a sharp pain came from his head, and then he was heavily pressed under his two subordinates.

In order to camouflage the artillery position and appear real, Zhang Tianquan specially allocated five artillery trucks to display in the rear of the artillery array, and a total of three of these five artillery vehicles were hit, and this one could not be evacuated from the battlefield in time because the track was blown up, so it could only be abandoned. The Cadet Army has requirements for the destruction of abandoned chariots and large weapons on the spot, and because one of the crew members of this artillery cart has been eliminated from the wolf's tooth and is proficient in making tricks, so the abandoned "JGL-918" is set up as a trap, and it almost establishes a miracle.

At the same time as confirming that the defenders had been "expelled" and crossing the river, under the orders of Okamura, the field hospitals directly under the military headquarters of the 11th Army and the 17th and 106th divisions began to get busy.

On the destroyed ice, there was actually a tank and three armored vehicles that did not fall into the river, but they were hanging alone on a piece of ice that had not been broken, and the river was raging all around, not to mention ordinary Japanese soldiers, even Okamura, Yoshimoto, and Nakajima, who were also terrified.

On some of the ice floes, hundreds of devils lay on them with pale faces, and at least half of them had lost their breath - their lower bodies were immersed in water, and many of them were even frozen around their bodies - "Ah! Suddenly, a medical soldier close to the cracked ice sat down on the ground with a cry of surprise, and the others looked in the direction of his fingers, but saw that in front of him, a miserable white, wide-eyed face was clinging to the ice, and his hands were deeply cut into the ice, and all ten fingers were already broken, and the spilled blood was frozen, which made people shudder - this kind of scene is not the only one, at least more than a thousand devils are drowned and frozen, And that's not even counting the devils who were dragged down by combat vehicles and suffocated to death in tanks and armored vehicles.

Nanjin kiln battle, the Eighth Division did not fire, once the cannon was fired, it gave Okamura Ningji a big surprise. It's just that I don't know if the old devil still has the courage to take the initiative to attack after this battle?
