With the order of the battalion commander Ma Long, the platoon commander of the bazooka platoon immediately commanded the two bazooka groups under his command to enter the combat position. After each of these two rocket launcher groups found a suitable position, they aimed at the Japanese tank, and then almost at the same time two * flew towards the Japanese tank. Although the bazooka used is an imitation and inferior in accuracy to the original, it is possible to hit a huge tank at a distance of more than two hundred meters.

Two high-explosive anti-tank grenades and shells hit the advancing combat vehicle in an instant, and the frontal armor of the Japanese Army's Type 97 tank was only 30 millimeters thick, which was not much different from a paper-paste high-explosive anti-tank grenade and ammunition with a vertical armor penetration of 380 millimeters. The grenade and bullet instantly penetrated the armor of the Japanese tank, and exploded inside the tank, and the huge explosion force lifted the turret of the tank into the air.

The chariot suddenly exploded, so that the Japanese soldiers who followed behind the chariot did not react at once, except for the soldiers who were accidentally injured by the exploding chariot, the rest were stunned there, Malone saw that a good opportunity came, and immediately ordered to open fire, and the gunfire on the position was loud, and the bullets flew towards the Japanese army like a rainstorm. The stunned Japanese soldiers fell down one after another screaming, and even the soldiers hiding behind the chariots were hit by heavy machine gun fires.

The attacking Japanese troops were in a mess, and the chariots that followed behind saw that the two chariots in front of them exploded into fireballs inexplicably, and they also stopped advancing in surprise, and just kept hitting the defenders' positions with shells. The two tanks in the back were only less than 300 meters away from the position, and within the attack range of the rocket launchers, the two rocket launcher groups that had just knocked out the two Japanese tanks invariably aimed at the two Japanese tanks behind.

Two more high-explosive anti-tank grenades and bombs flew towards the Japanese tanks, and these two tanks immediately followed in the footsteps of the two tanks in front of them, and together they became two fireballs. The Japanese army was even more confused, and they all quickly retreated to the back. Even the chariots behind were busy turning around and retreating. As soon as the Japanese troops attacking the highway position withdrew, the Taiwanese mixed brigade that was attacking the position on Wubei Mountain was exposed, and Ma Long saw that the Japanese troops in front had retreated, and organized crane guns to attack the flank of the Japanese troops who were attacking on Wubei Mountain.

An infantry battalion of the Japanese Taiwanese Mixed Brigade launched an attack on the Yabeishan position. Because the female wall of the position was blown up in many places, the soldiers could only rely on the trenches that were not deep to block the attack, and under the cover of the Japanese mountain artillery, the number of casualties continued to increase. The Japanese army braved the fierce fire from the position, and approached little by little. Seeing that the Japanese army had entered the 150-meter area, the battalion commander Tang Yiqiang was also secretly anxious.

Just as Tang Yiqiang was about to force his actions to attack the Japanese troops with the mortars of the battalion's heavy fire company, a heavy machine gun bullet suddenly fired from the side swept the Japanese troops down. Tang Yiqiang found out that it was the heavy machine gun on the highway position that gave him fire support from the side, so Tang Yiqiang lost no time in strengthening the firepower. Under the attack from both sides, the Japanese army did not hold out for long before withdrawing.

In the temporary headquarters of Shiro Makino, the captain who was in charge of directing the attack on the road position was swollen by Shiro Makino, and Shiro Makino was still angry. One of his own infantry brigades, with the cooperation of chariots, was repulsed by the Chinese army in a short period of time, and as a result, the Taiwan mixed brigade, which had successfully attacked, suffered losses.

At this time, the captain of the tank brigade came to the temporary headquarters of Lieutenant General Makino Shiro. The chariot squadron is an independent unit and is not subordinate to the 16th Division, and no matter how hot Makino Shiro is, he can't do anything to the captain of the chariot brigade, but he still stares at this captain with an unkind face. The captain saw that Lieutenant General Makino Shiro's face was ugly, and he still said to Makino Shiro with a hard head: "Your Excellency Commander, according to the report of my subordinates, there are extremely advanced weapons in the Shina army, which can accurately destroy our chariots in an instant. ”

The captain's words surprised Lieutenant General Shiro Makino, originally the new tank of these two tank brigades was one of the reliance of Lieutenant General Shiro Makino, but now that the captain said this, this reliance lost its effect, which made Lieutenant General Shiro Makino forget to even get angry. Lieutenant General Shiro Makino was busy asking the captain and the captain of the group who had been beaten by him for details.

After listening to the two subordinates tell the battle just now in detail, Shiro Makino also gasped. He never thought that the Chinese army he was facing could have such advanced weapons and such strong combat effectiveness, and how to fight the next battle, Makino Shiro also had no idea. After waving a few people to retreat, Shiro Makino turned around in the temporary headquarters.

Although he easily repelled the Japanese army's attack, Ma Long did not despise the Japanese army, he understood that this time he just fought the Japanese army unprepared, and when the next time the Japanese army was prepared to attack again, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to repel the Japanese attack. Now that the Japanese army has retreated, Malone has also led his men out of position. The heavy artillery of the Japanese army is too powerful, and there will be a large number of casualties if the troops stay in the position, and Ma Long will not do this kind of stupid thing.

However, the strange thing is that Ma Long waited in the anti-artillery hole outside the position for a long time, and did not wait for the Japanese artillery bombardment, and sent a few soldiers to touch the position to inspect, and the soldiers came back to report that there was no movement on the Japanese side. Seeing that it was already evening, Ma Long, who was not sure whether the Japanese army would attack again, could only send two observation posts to the position, and the large army was lying in the anti-artillery hole.

In the headquarters of Zhenzuo City, a telegram sent by Wang Xiaoshan was in the hands of Tang Renxin, and the telegram reported in detail the deployment of the Japanese army in Jiangzhou Town. In Jiangzhou Town, there is the headquarters of the 14th Army of the Japanese Army, and the remaining troops include a military police brigade of the Japanese army, a baggage wing of the 16th Division, a cavalry squadron, and an engineer brigade, with a total strength of about 8,000 people.

With a force of about 8,000 people, it is not so easy to attack it, this is the idea that Tang Renxin immediately appeared after reading the telegram. However, Tang Renxin still came to Wang Haitao with a telegram and handed the telegram to Wang Haitao for a look. After reading the telegram, Wang Haitao said to Tang Renxin: "There are 8,000 Japanese troops stationed in Jiangzhou Town, if you want to take it in a short time, how many troops do you think you need to use?"

Tang Renxin thought about it for a while before he replied: "If there is heavy artillery to assist in the siege, the strength of a brigade should be able to capture it in a few hours, if there is no heavy artillery assistance, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to use a division, and the casualties will definitely not be small." Wang Haitao walked to the map, looking at the map and thinking, after a while Wang Haitao said: "Forget it, you don't need to attack Jiangzhou Town, the cost of taking Jiangzhou Town is too great, and it can't be done." Order the 211th Division to hold the position on Natong Mountain and block the road under the mountain. ”

Tang Renxin heard a trace of unwillingness in Wang Haitao's words, but in the case that the heavy artillery troops could not move outside Jiangzhou Town, they launched an attack on Jiangzhou Town, which was heavily garrisoned, and whether it could be captured or not, the huge casualties alone were not something that the 90th Army could bear, and it seemed that the 30,000 Japanese troops who were attacking, the military seat was going to eat as much as they could.

Tang Renxin thought of this and said to Wang Haitao: "Junzuo, since you don't launch an attack on Jiangzhou Town, then the counterattack against the attacking Japanese army can start as soon as possible, and I think you can launch a counterattack against the Japanese army tomorrow night." Wang Haitao thought for a while before replying: "Yes, you give the order to the counterattacking troops, move fiercely, be ruthless, and destroy the Japanese army as much as possible." ”

Tang Renxin returned to the command headquarters and called Su Zuxin and Tang Longzai together. Tang Renxin said: "The military seat decided not to attack Jiangzhou Town, so that the counterattack against the Japanese army could be advanced. The military seat has agreed to start a counterattack against the Japanese army tomorrow night, what other opinions do you have?" Su Zuxin thought for a moment and shook his head, but Tang Longzai spoke.

Tang Longzai said to Tang Renxin: "Deputy Commander Tang, in this counterattack, the troops of our division stationed in Chongzuo City also asked to participate in the battle. Tang Renxin replied: "Long Zai, your division still has two regiments in Chongzuo City, and as soon as these two regiments are pulled up, what will happen to the defense of Chongzuo City? What about the safety of the headquarters? I can't agree to your request." ”

Tang Longzai hurriedly said: "Deputy Commander Tang, I didn't mean to pull the two regiments in the city up, I meant that the armored regiment and heavy artillery regiment of our division asked to participate in the battle. Tang Renxin nodded, and then said: "The dozens of self-propelled guns of your division can keep up as fire support, forget about the armored regiment, those big guys in the armored brigade can't wait, such a narrow road, and it can't be paved, with the armored brigade in front, the armored regiment of your division is afraid that it won't even be able to drink soup!"

Tang Longzai still wanted to argue a few words, but after thinking about it carefully, Tang Renxin was telling the truth, his armored regiment was following behind the armored brigade, and he was afraid that he really couldn't even drink the soup, but fortunately, Tang Renxin promised that the self-propelled artillery under his command could keep up, and there was a 462nd Brigade fighting to block the attack, which could be regarded as a battle, so he felt a little more comfortable.

Tang Renxin saw that both of them had no opinions, so he began to ask the confidential officer to record the order. The first order was sent to Tang Yishi, commander of the heavy artillery brigade, ordering all the artillery of the heavy artillery brigade to launch an artillery attack on the Japanese army at 9 o'clock tomorrow evening, that is, at 21 o'clock, with the first target being the Japanese heavy artillery position, followed by the artillery position. The second order was issued to Wu Jianzhou, commander of the armored brigade, ordering all tanks and armored vehicles of the armored brigade to arrive at Jinjitun at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, that is, at 20 o'clock.

The third order was sent to Tang Yiqiang, commander of the 90th Division, ordering the 90th Division to hold its position until 9 o'clock tomorrow night, and then send effective troops to assist the armored brigade in attacking after the heavy artillery brigade's counterattack artillery fire extended. The fourth order was sent to Tang Hongming, commander of the 210th Division, ordering the ambush troops of the 210th Division to enter the ambush position before 8 o'clock tomorrow night, and to launch an attack on the fleeing Japanese troops once the Japanese troops broke and fled to the ambush site.

The last order was given to Tang Longzai, ordering the 211st Division to garrison the headquarters of Natongshan and hold the position of Natongshan, not only to block the troops rescued by the Japanese army in Jiangzhou Town, but also to intercept the Japanese troops who fled from the direction of Chongzuo City, so as to give the Japanese army the greatest damage. After several successive orders were transmitted, Tang Renxin said: "Now it depends on whether the various units can complete their tasks well, which is directly related to how much success can be achieved in this battle. ”
