Section 174 Counterattack on Gao'an Seventy

Because the 101st Wing has always been the core force of the 101st Division, it was actually in a state of deliberate support and protection after the Battle of Dean. You must know that after the 101st Division experienced that fiasco, the situation was even worse than that of the 106th Division, and in this case, if you want to restore the reputation and prestige of the division, it is undoubtedly the best way to gather the strength of the whole division to form a super strong force in a short period of time, so after the Japanese army occupied Nanchang and was assigned to the defense area of the 101st Division, the other wings were sent to the Gao'an line, but the 101st Wing stayed near the Xishan Wanshou Palace, far away from the front line.

The commander's intentions of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army are good, but the reality is very cruel, Gao'an has just calmed down for a few days, and the flames of war suddenly ignited again, and after the battle started, something happened that made people stack their glasses, Gao'an's 102 Brigade couldn't resist it at all, and lost Gao'an City in less than half a day, fortunately, they stabilized the situation on the front line of Chazishan, otherwise, the division commander of the 101st Division would probably have to draw his knife in shame and disembowel. However, the next situation made them even more worried, not only did the situation in front not change, but the Xiangfuguan and the front line of Dacheng suffered defeats in a row, and an enemy who appeared out of nowhere gave them a heavy blow.

In the Xishan Wanshou Palace, all the officers of the 101st Wing who got the news felt humiliated by their colleagues on the front line, the strength of a whole wing was almost wiped out in one day, and they were facing an enemy who was much smaller than them, which they didn't want to imagine, in their words, that is, to change the command of a pig, I'm afraid it won't be worse than this.

However, only by seeing the strength of the enemy army can they understand what is happening, and only after personally fighting this enemy army can they realize how ridiculous and ignorant their previous thoughts are, this enemy army that came out of nowhere is not at all what they imagined the Chinese army to be, the fierceness that emerged from the bones is several times stronger than the spirit of bushido they believe in.

Although the soldiers of the 101st Wing have made up twice from the mainland, but in Japan, where militaristic ideas are full of ideas, men have been trained as samurai and soldiers since childhood, and basically those who can join the army have undergone several years of professional training.

However, this time they hit the iron plate, although the soldiers of the third company did not receive long-term systematic training like the Japanese soldiers, but after dozens of battles, large and small, they learned on the battlefield to fight and kill people skills more powerful than the Japanese army learned by training alone. On the battlefield, the means of life and death exercised in an instant are often more direct and effective, and as soon as they fight, the Japanese troops who lack momentum are suddenly put down several times, and they can no longer get up as soon as they experience the cruelty of the battlefield. At this time, let alone supporting the tanks in front, these infantry self-protection has become a problem.

The squadron leader of the Japanese army was extremely anxious, and for a while he couldn't think of any way to solve the problem in front of him, so he could only keep calling out to encourage the soldiers around him.

The Japanese soldiers were frightened by the ferocity of the enemy in front of them, they could only repeat these simple words over and over again to dispel the fear in their hearts, watching their companions fall in a pool of blood one by one, seeing the enemy holding blood-stained bayonets rushing towards them, their minds were blank, what fighting skills, what triangular formation, they didn't know where to run.

"Kill" Cheng Cheng roared, the sound exploded in the ears of the Japanese army like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the bayonet in his hand slashed into the chest of the enemy in front of him.

This is a very young Japanese soldier, with fair skin, thin body, a set of khaki military uniforms on the body looks slightly wide, judging from his face, he should only be twenty-one or twelve years old. However, the bloody war put such a young life on this bloody Shura field, and what should have been a beautiful youth came to an abrupt end in this bloody battle.

Cheng Zhong didn't look at the bayonet after pulling out the bayonet, and pounced on the other person, in his eyes, there was only a difference between a living enemy and a dead enemy, and as for other things, there was no need to think too much about it. Beside Cheng Chong, several experienced and athletic guards were around, and their small team was like a sharp bayonet, rushing left and right, and no one could stop them.

The tanks that were blown into a black whirring mass did not deter the other Japanese troops, and they were "creaking...... Encouraged by the sound of "squeaking ......", the Japanese soldiers in the tank screamed and rushed towards the core of the city, and as for the infantry behind them, they did not have the slightest worry when they heard the earth-shattering sound of "banzai".

Just when they opened a distance from the infantry, and not far from the position of the third company, suddenly a "boom" of artillery rang out, and the tanks that suddenly broke forward flashed with a dazzling light, and the astonishing explosion made all the Japanese soldiers in the other tanks stunned one by one.

After a few seconds, they suddenly reacted, the anti-tank gun, definitely the anti-tank gun, only this thing can destroy the tank so neatly, can hit the target so accurately. However, how could the Chinese army have such a thing? You know, this kind of artillery is that they are only equipped with armies above the wing!

If the enemy only has mountain artillery, field artillery or mortars, they have no fear, after all, these shells are attacking the target by parabola, and the tank itself is constantly moving, in this case, the probability of being hit by the shells is really pitiful, even the best gunners, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch their direction and deal a fatal blow to them. Of course, if the number of artillery pieces is large enough to form a covering attack, then there are two other words. The anti-tank gun is different, this is a flat-fire gun, which is extremely similar to the artillery of the tank itself, this kind of parallel shooting artillery, as long as it is aimed accurately, attacking this kind of tank that is not very convenient to turn, it is a dozen accurate, and the extremely penetrating shells can form an explosion after penetrating the steel plate armor, causing a devastating blow to the soldiers in the tank, as long as they are hit by the shell, there is basically no possibility of survival.

"Boom" In such a short period of time when they were stunned, another tank was hit in the head, and the tank, which originally looked extremely strong, was torn apart in just an instant, leaving only a pile of broken copper and iron. In fact, the explosion power of this kind of flat-firing artillery shell is far less than that of mountain artillery and field artillery, and the scope of the explosion is extremely limited.

"Boom...... Boom ......" The surviving tanks frantically fired shells at the place where the sound came from, the Japanese troops in the tanks were obviously timid, the appearance of anti-tank guns undoubtedly put them in the most dangerous situation, no one knew if the next moment would be like the previous two tanks without fighting back and died here, so they did not hesitate to use shells to carry out a counterattack, hoping to solve the enemy before the shells ran out.

Under the bombardment of the tanks, the distance fell into calm, but the quiet of the big city, not only did not let them breathe a sigh of relief, but it made the Japanese troops in the tank feel more frightened, the enemy's calm reaction in the face of the shelling, obviously a manifestation of excellent psychological quality, fighting with such an enemy, even if their strength is not strong, will be extremely difficult. At this time, they couldn't help but retreat, there was still an anti-tank gun in front, and they rushed over like this to completely send them to death, and the attack painstakingly planned by the division commander seemed to be about to fail, not because they didn't work hard enough, but because the strength of the enemy army was not something they could match at all.

Of course, they are not without a chance now, but when they encounter anti-tank guns that completely restrain them, they need reinforcements from long-range artillery or aerial bombardment by aircraft, and at the very least, they also need infantry to break forward to cover, not to mention solving the enemy's artillery, as long as they can affect the enemy's shooting, as long as they break through within the effective range and can use artillery to kill the enemy, they have nothing to fear. However, the situation is particularly grim, not long after the plane bombing has ended, and it needs to return to the plane to replenish fuel and ammunition, and it may take some time to re-engage in bombing. As for the long-range artillery, it is even more helpless, the artillery units of the division and regiment are all deployed on the front line of Gao'an to block the enemy, and there are only a few mountain guns left in their wing, which cannot form any powerful killing and destructive effects at all, naturally there is nothing to expect, as for the infantry, they really don't understand, why they have already covered them and rushed into the enemy position, and they have not come up yet?

"Bombard" the enemy's anti-tank guns sounded again, and then the enemy artillery after changing positions, as if they had not yet adapted to the new position, the shells flew past the edge of the tank, plunged into the ground, and then suddenly exploded to kick up the sky-high mud and dust, although it did not cause any substantial damage to the Japanese army, however, that kind of powerful deterrent still made all the Japanese tank soldiers out of a cold sweat, the enemy changed positions to shoot a cannon, cunning to the extreme, so on, I'm afraid that sooner or later, these tanks will have to be eaten up by the enemy in batches.

"Retreat!" The Japanese officer in the tank relied on the on-board radio to give the other vehicles the order to retreat, and the first task of this battle was not whether they could overcome the enemy's defense line, but whether they could return alive.
