The muzzles of dozens of artillery pieces spewed brilliant flames at the same time, and Zuo An stared intently at the flying cannonballs, and a heart rose to his throat - success or failure in this move, if the cannons of the Seya detachment could not be completely destroyed, then the cannons that had just been recaptured, along with the Cai cannons and themselves, might be torn to pieces by the Japanese army's retaliation.

Zuo An'an is not afraid of death, and he also believes that Cai Cannon and everyone here are not afraid of death. But he was afraid that this would affect the entire battle situation, and the brothers of the 2nd Brigade and the 31st Army were fighting bloodily, and they launched a near-suicidal counterattack, in order to give Chief of Staff Guo a chance to break through the 5th Division. As long as the devils at the northwest gate can be crushed, then the Japanese army's originally connected position will be cut into two parts. At that time, the offensive and defensive sides will be reversed, and the national army will be able to take the initiative on the battlefield......

Cai Hongguang's performance was much calmer than Zuo An'an's, and as soon as the shell was discharged, he immediately screamed loudly: "Hurry, hurry!" Push back the gun position and reload! Okay, hit! ”

"Air, air—" another salvo was fired, and at this moment, the first shells hit the target with a series of violent explosions.

When the familiar sound of a cannonball tearing through the air reached his ears, Kei Seya was stunned. He turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and was immediately dazzled by dozens of blazing fireballs. "This is!?" He could hardly believe his eyes, and the next moment, when he heard a breath of death, he muttered and scolded: "Eight grids! "I forgot to dodge.

"Your Excellency!" "Save the detachment leader!" The group of devils behind him was terrified, and several people pounced on him and crushed him under his body. Almost at the same time, the artillery position rose with clusters of fire, and the next moment, the flames disappeared and condensed into mushroom clouds.

Suddenly, an even more violent explosion came, and the flickering light of the fire illuminated the surrounding area for several kilometers. Kei Seya only felt the ground tremble and moan under him, and his body collapsed, almost losing the courage to get up.

- The Seya detachment piled up together, and the shells exploded. A wave of heat scraped across the ground against Seya Kai's dough, sand and dust flew and gunsmoke dispersed, and a huge mushroom cloud rose, stunned everyone on the battlefield in Taierzhuang.

Guo Muyi ordered to stop, he stepped out of the car, looked at the mushroom cloud, and finally relaxed his tense skin from beginning to end. Around him, the officers got up from the ground and shouted like thunder: "Brothers, rush! ”

Five hundred meters ahead, a Jiguang tank directly knocked over a bean battle and then ran over it. Another Jiguang tank and a Quirrell fired two shots at each other, and the Quirrell's turret exploded into the air. The two Jiguang rushed out of the smoke and fireworks, and they were unexpectedly intact......

A little farther away, the defenders were attacking like a tide, and Guo Muyi even saw the light of a big knife like snow - "Zuo An, this guy!" This battle! Win! ”

When the violent explosion behind the Seya detachment's position shook Antengriji's eardrums, he sat down on an ammunition box and his mind was in turmoil. Suddenly, he jumped three feet high and said to a few men next to him who were looking nervously at him: "Quick, pass on my order, and the whole army will break through to the west!" ”

"Hello!"

A staff officer asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency, what about the Guoqi Wing?" ”

"Let's save the strength of the main force first, just wait for the aviation to arrive at the battlefield, and then we will kill back."

"Hello!"

"Hmm!" A soldier was hit in the chest by a bullet and fell in front of Ji Zhenhai with a muffled grunt.

"Fuck it, fuck it!" Ji Zhenhai roared angrily and fired three shots at the devil not far away. The devil was shot twice in the face and once in the chest and staggered and fell. Chi Zhenhai opened his mouth wide and gasped hard, he glanced around, and saw that the surroundings were completely chaotic, the enemy and us were completely entangled together, and some of his subordinates fell from time to time, and more enemies were rushing towards this side, he knew that the old devil of Antengli wanted to run away, and secretly thought in his heart: "If you fight like this, Lao Tzu's troops will be gone!" He suddenly regretted that he had rushed too hard, and when he looked back, he just saw He Feng rushing up with people, and he was relieved in his heart.

When Guo Muyi's department broke through the Japanese defense line like a sharp knife, Chi Zhenhai's ambition was also mobilized. There was no doubt that if the 5th Division had been routed in this battle, or even killed or captured Antengliji, he and his troops would have become famous all over the world. However, he underestimated the combat power of the little devils.

No matter who it is, although the Japanese army and the national army are one-to-three in public, in private, they don't think that their soldiers are any worse than the devil soldiers. Some people even think that the little devils are good for nothing but sharp artillery, strong chariots, and many planes. Not to mention anything else, the performance of the 38 big cover is not as good as the formal one. They all ignore one point: the quality of soldiers. Japan has adopted a policy of elite soldiers, and maintains a large number of reserve troops in the country, and as long as these soldiers are pulled to the battlefield, they are qualified soldiers. In China, on the other hand, because of years of warlord warfare, almost all factions believe in the idea that people are more powerful and more powerful, and as long as you can shoot a gun, you are a qualified soldier. The troops are generally undertrained, the soldiers are not well nourished, and the strong scenes that are pulled out in peacetime are okay, and they are really pulled into the battlefield, and the superiority and inferiority are immediately manifested. This has created a situation in which almost all the troops that can fight in the country have survived a large number of civil wars. If the training is insufficient, then it can only be trained by war, and the result is that the situation like the first Great Wall War of Resistance was created, and the national army gathered hundreds of thousands of people, but the result was that it could not win tens of thousands of little devils. This has created a thirst for veterans among various factions and armies. Li Bai and the other 50,000 Gui army will be divided by other troops after the rout, this is of course related to the command mistakes of the two, and a very important point, those long-trained Gui soldiers are all talents in the eyes of various officers!

Courage is indeed important in war, but courage is definitely not the most important thing. Of course, from the overall point of view, Chi Zhenhaibu's bravery is very important to the significance of Taierzhuang's victory. It was the rapid insertion of the department, regardless of casualties, that firmly contained the main force of the devils at the northwest gate, which gave Guo Muyi the opportunity to quickly cut in and completely cut off the contact between the Seya detachment and the 5th Division.

In addition, Li Pinxian's unreserved devotion also drew a successful end to this raid battle. If He Feng and Zhang Changtai didn't follow closely into the battlefield, with Chi Zhenhai's 2,000 people, they wouldn't be able to block the Japanese army in a state of madness.

The battle at the east gate of Taierzhuang has changed since the addition of the Eagle Cliff Brigade. Guarding the east gate was the Wang Zifeng Brigade of the 31st Army. Wang Zifeng was worried that Guo Muyi's troops would not be able to arrive at the battlefield on time, and that the losses of his troops would be too large, so he was very cautious when he invested his troops. Who knew that with the addition of the Eagle Cliff Brigade to the battlefield, the pressure on the Japanese army was too great, and it was directly squeezed by the Eagle Cliff Brigade to less than two square kilometers outside the east gate. After the Japanese formation on the frontal battlefield of the East Gate became thicker, it was even more difficult for Wang Zifeng to increase his strength to form a breakthrough - the East Gate was too narrow, and he would go out of the army at most one squad at a time, and if he had a little more, he would be bombarded by the Japanese grenadiers. Wang Zifeng saw that the Eagle Cliff Brigade was fighting vigorously behind the Japanese army, and almost all the enemies that were annihilated at the East Gate were the handiwork of the Eagle Cliff Brigade, and he was taken aback.

After the 31st Army entered Taierzhuang, Li Pinxian was worried that the troops were not enough to guard the four gates of Dongcheng at the same time, so he asked people to block the southeast gate. Wang Zifeng saw that he could not form a breakthrough from the east gate at this time, so he rolled his eyes and decided to go out of the city from the southeast gate, and then attack the enemy outside the east gate from the north along the city wall, trying to open a gap there. He personally led two battalions of troops to hang down from the wall of the southeast gate, shouting loudly: "Quick! Fast! Brothers, the meat has been eaten by the Eagle Cliff Brigade, and if we are a little later, we won't even have soup to drink! "With two battalions of soldiers, he rushed along the wall towards the east gate.

The 5th Division attacked the East Gate, the North Gate, and the Northwest Gate at the same time, of which the Northwest Gate direction had the largest number of troops, followed by the North Gate, and only two brigades of devils were deployed at the East Gate. In a fierce battle one day, more than 2,000 devils lost a squadron, and then they were attacked by both sides and hung up a squadron, and now, the remaining less than 1,400 devils tightly relied on the two lines of defense, resisting the attack of the Eagle Cliff Brigade and Wang Zifeng Brigade to the death.

The violent explosion from the northwest made Jiang Banjun realize that Guo Muyi's cutting should be completed. He looked at his watch, it was almost five o'clock, and he couldn't help but be anxious. He said to Huang Hailu: "It's not okay to fight like this, the devil has shrunk into a hedgehog, it's too hard to bite." I will leave the first regiment to you, and lead the second regiment and the third regiment to rush to the north gate to see if there is a chance to contact the chief of staff. ”

Huang Hailu replied refreshingly: "Okay." ”

Jiang Banjun looked at him seriously and said, "Second brother, you have to promise me that after I leave, I can only surround but not fight." If you want to lead someone to storm, I'm not leaving. ”

The reason why Huang Hailu agreed so quickly was that he wanted to personally lead the team to attack after he left. The plan in his heart was broken by him, and he smiled: "Third child, do you treat me as a child?" Don't worry, I won't fight a battle with too much damage, who am I, I never do anything that suffers, don't worry. ”

Jiang Banjun was worried that the current situation would not be broken after dawn, and that once the Japanese planes bombed, the current good situation might be broken, so he wanted to contact Guo Muyi and borrow a few tanks to rush over. He also had a layer of concerns, worried that the Japanese army at the North Gate and the Northwest Gate would attack Guo Muyi, and Guo Muyi would not be able to bear it, so he was in a hurry to lead his troops north. He glanced at Huang Hailu deeply and gathered his troops.

A quarter past five, outside the northwest gate.

Guo Muyi looked at his watch and exhaled heavily.

So far in the battle, there are still 57 of the 76 Jiguang vehicles, of which 3 have been destroyed by heavy artillery, one has been blown up by the devil's chariot, 5 have been disabled, and 9 have been destroyed by the suicide attacks of the little devils. As for the tank numbered 221, Guo Muyi sounded the scene just now, and the heat in his eyes became surging - the Japanese were ruthless enough, and the distance between the raiding force and Chi Zhenhai was less than 200 meters, and Antengriji and Seya Kai were stunned to send nearly two brigades of devils to rush hard. When the battle was at its most intense, a tank numbered 221 was surrounded by more than 100 devils, and the tracks were jammed by devils with machine guns.

The Japanese went crazy, and hundreds of devils ignored the bullets that came from both sides like a storm, and rushed towards the Jiguang tanks in front of them with all kinds of explosives. From time to time, there are devils who are hit by bullets on the explosives on their bodies, and then they are dismembered after a loud bang - in the midst of the flying flesh and blood, the Japanese forced the Chi Zhenhai Brigade to retreat to the northwest gate little by little, if it were not for the decisive entry of He Feng and Zhang Changtai's regiment, the defense line opened by the Chi Zhenhai Brigade with more than 1,000 officers and soldiers would probably be filled up by the Japanese army's manship tactics again.

Xue Feng's luck is not very good, of course, from another point of view, his luck seems to be too good. The 145 to which he transferred was again blown off the track and turned into a stationary battery. He replaced it with a 147, and then, under the leadership of this 147, the remaining nine tanks of the battalion played the role of bulldozers, and they rushed unscrupulously towards the dense array of devils, detonating one human bomb after another, and then suddenly turned 90 degrees and ran over the 5th Division with their butts against the Seya detachment.

For the first time, he felt a sense of despair as he watched his men being torn apart one by one by various explosives, and the distance between him and the Seya detachment that had just been so close was swelled again.

After Seya Kai was guarded by his subordinates and left the artillery position, the red tide on his face never faded - the people of China wanted to eat the Anteng Division, and they were not afraid of knocking their teeth, he understood the actions of the people of China desperately cutting off the connection between his own division and the 5th Division, and regardless of it, he threw all the reserve troops into the battlefield between the northwest gate and the west gate. He stubbornly believed that in pure infantry combat, the Chinese army was definitely not the opponent of the imperial army, and now, there were only two troops that the Chinese could pose a threat to the imperial army, one was the chariot unit in front of them, and the other was the artillery unit located not far away. "The artillery of the people of China must be destroyed, can it be done?" He was so commander of the tank squadron of the Seya detachment, Hayaki Mizuno.

"Your Excellency, leave it to me!" Mizuno replied confidently.

"Roar!"

Kei Seya underestimated the power of the Jiguang tank, and when he saw that nearly a thousand warriors under His Majesty the Emperor had failed to destroy the dozens of chariots with desperate suicide attacks, Kei Seya gradually felt his scalp tingle. And at this time, the cannon sound that had been silent for a while became louder again, and this time in the direction of the water field tank squadron that had just left.

One after another Quirrell and Bean Battle were directly blown apart, burned and exploded, and more than 30 chariots were almost lost before they drove out of the city for a kilometer, and Seya Kai's confidence in victory was completely shaken - the gap, Jiguang type tanks were as stable as a rock in the artillery fire, on the other hand, Chilo and Bean Battles were like a leaf in a storm, which was shattered at once.

"Amaterasu has abandoned the Japanese Empire?" The last thought rose in his heart, and Seya Kai's heart became panicked.

After the most violent counterattack, Guo Muyi's department successfully separated the Seya detachment from the 5th Division. Some of the tanks turned their guns to the Seya detachment, and a few rounds of shelling drove back the devils of a brigade that had launched the charge. And with the rapid filling of about one regiment of trainees, Chi Zhenhai Brigade and He Feng and Zhang Changtai's regiments entered the tank defense circle, and Seya Kaichi said that now he should not think about rescuing An Teng Liji, but how to retreat safely.

There were only more than ten tanks left to monitor the Seya detachment, and the rest, under the leadership of Xue Feng and Wu Kezhi, all pounced viciously on the 5th Division. "Brothers, rush!" Guo Muyi stood on the armored car, waving his gun and roaring. The soldiers of the two regiments followed closely behind the ramming car and slaughtered the main Japanese position outside the northwest gate with a devastating momentum.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, break through!" Seeing one soldier after another fall in the smoke and flames of the explosion, an officer suggested to Antenliji.

"Can we still hold out for an hour? In another hour, the aviation should be able to reach the battlefield," Anten said softly, in a very calm tone.

"Your Excellency, the outer defense line of the West Gate has been completely breached......

"Where's Goto?"

"Goto Osa has already sacrificed his life for the country."

"How's the situation with Guoqi?"

"Twenty minutes ago, Guoqi Dazuo sent the last telegram, and the people of China appeared in the east."

"Qingshan-kun?"

"Your Excellency."

"Let's break through!"

"Hello!"

The number of raiding troops was still too small, and cutting off the connection between the Seya detachment and the 5th Division was the key to determining the success or failure of this raid, so Guo Muyi chose to cut in a straight line instead of fanning outflank. This created an opportunity for Antengliji's breakthrough, of course, if Jiang Banjun and Huang Hailu had divided their forces to outflank the southeast side of the 5th Division at the beginning, the result would have been the same. Of course, that also added a variable to this raid - if Antengliji failed to break through, he would definitely choose to garrison his troops, in that case, although it could still inflict heavy damage on the 5th Division, but with the Isoya Division entering the battlefield, it was doubtful whether Guo Muyi's troops could retreat with their whole body.

Guoqi Guangyan Dazuo never received an order to break out of the siege, so although he was worried that his troops were in danger of being divided and surrounded, he never thought of leading his troops to break through.

This gave Jiang Banjun the opportunity to quickly break through the Japanese defense line at the North Gate and move closer to the Northwest Gate battlefield. Jiang Banjun didn't know that Guo Muyi had no intention of encircling and annihilating An Teng Liji, so out of prudent considerations, he controlled the speed of the troops within a certain range and did not blindly run wildly, which made him miss the opportunity to intercept An Teng Liji.

This is also the only flaw of the Chinese side in this morning's big war.
