Chapter 279: Steel Torrent

At this time, the little devils woke up one by one like a dream, but the little devils of the Sixth Division were indeed fierce and abnormal, looking at the rolling torrent of steel, they were not afraid one by one, and rushed up with explosives bags in their arms, trying to blow up our tanks.

"Da Da Da!" At this time, the torrent of steel slowed down, and the machine guns opened full fire, constantly strafing the little devils who rushed up. Beat these crazy little devils to a ground of minced meat.

Although a few tanks were lost, the torrent of steel soon ran over Suicheng and rushed towards the county seat of Xushui. A swarthy-faced strong man emerged from the tank, his eyes shining with a bloodthirsty light, and he shouted, "Brothers! Speed up and take down Xushui City! Capture Toshio Tani alive! After shouting, the strong man retracted into the tank again, and the tank continued to move forward with a bang.

This strong man was born in Wuyishan, named Li Kui, who was originally the commander of the armored regiment of the 201st Division, and served as the commander of the armored regiment of the 101st Army after the expansion of the 201st Division. In this Baoding campaign, Weng Zhaoyuan deliberately transferred the two armored regiments of the 101st Army and the 102nd Army to form an assault force and handed them over to Li Kui's command. The task of the assault force was to quickly break through the defense line of the Japanese army and divide and encircle the 6th Division like a sharp blade.

Behind the assault troops, armored vehicles and trucks loaded with infantry were speeding towards this side. Behind them, there was also a large group of infantry running in the direction of Xu Shui.

"Nani! And then the town was lost! The garrison is all shattered! Gu Shoufu's eyes widened in disbelief, then the town was guarded by hundreds of soldiers, and it was fine more than an hour ago, but now it was broken through by the Zhina people, and hundreds of imperial warriors were all killed, such a result is difficult for Gu Shoufu to accept, when did the Zhina people have such a strong combat effectiveness.

Chief of Staff Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo frowned and said, "According to the farewell telegram sent by Captain Nishiguchi stationed in Suicheng Town, this time the people of China first used dozens of warplanes to bombard Suicheng Town, and then dispatched nearly two hundred chariots to storm Suicheng Town. The imperial army lacked anti-chariot weapons, so they could only rely on the spirit of bushido to fight against the chariot troops of the Shina people with their flesh and blood, and finally all of them died heroically, and Suicheng was immediately lost! ”

"Nani! Two hundred tanks? No way? How could the stupid Shina have so many chariots? That's impossible? Nishiguchi is lying about the military situation and making excuses for his defeat! Gu Shoufu yelled loudly.

"Your Excellency, even if Captain Nishiguchi's report is a little watery, one thing is certain, that is, this battle branch has dispatched a large number of chariot troops! Moreover, the chariot troops of the people of China are attacking Xushui! Shimono Kazuho bowed his head and said respectfully.

Gu Shoufu suddenly woke up now, and a trace of panic appeared on his face. At this time, a staff officer of the army stepped forward and said, "Report to Your Excellency General!" The position of the Imperial Army in Yangong Village was broken through by the Shina Chariot Troops, and all the defenders of the Yamamoto Squadron were shattered! ”

Gu Shoufu's forehead couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and only then did Gu Shoufu realize the danger he was facing, "Shimono-kun! What was the battle situation of the 11th brigade? ”

"The resistance of the Chinese people is very stubborn, and the 11th Brigade has been fighting hard for a day, and the progress is slow!" Shimono Kazuho said helplessly.

"Yaga! Garbage well, this idiot! Order the garbage well to stop the attack immediately, shrink the defensive line, and send a brigade! Not two brigades to return to Xu Shui! In addition, he ordered the cavalry wing in the south of the city to immediately move far to the west of the city to block the chariot troops of China! Gu Shoufu ordered decisively. In fact, although Gu Shoufu is cruel, he is very afraid of death. Historically, after the defeat of the war, Gu Shoufu was arrested by the US military and extradited to China for trial, Gu Shoufu in the court, like a leper dog, denied the crimes he committed in Nanjing in every way, and shifted all the blame to the commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Imasago Imasao, and also shouted to catch the thief and asked our country's political axe to conduct a thorough investigation of the Nanjing army, in order to save his dog's life, and even submitted a statement of defense. In order to save his dog's life, he was finally sentenced to death and executed in Yuhuatai, Nanjing! Before leaving, the murderous maniac was so frightened that he was shot through the forehead with a Mauser by the gendarmes and died. It can be seen that this is a murderous maniac whose life is like a mustard, but his essence is just a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Seeing that he was in danger this time, Gu Shoufu had to decisively mobilize troops to return to ensure his safety.

The 6th Cavalry Wing attached to the 6th Division of the Chinese Army was originally on standby in the area south of Xushui City, but now the cavalry units have gradually declined, and Europe and the United States have gradually eliminated the cavalry units, and although the cavalry units of the Yue Army have not been eliminated, they are now only undertaking some tasks of reconnoitring the enemy's situation. After receiving Gu Shoufu's order, the commander of the sixth cavalry wing, Inoki Jintaisa, did not dare to slack off, and immediately gathered his troops and rushed to the west of Xushui City.

When the cavalry wing led by Inoki Jintai arrived at the avenue west of Xushui City, he happened to see the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and in the smoke and dust, you could faintly see that the chariots were driving quickly towards this side. Inoki Jintai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't react for a while, so he was stunned.

At this time, the adjutant next to him couldn't help but remind, "Your Excellency! The chariot troops of the Chinese are coming! Let's charge! The young adjutant's eyes lit up with excitement, and it was clear that he was still dreaming of the invincibility of the cavalry.

However, Inoki Kinta will not have this kind of idiotic idea, for the power of the chariot, Inoki Kinta is very clear in his heart, with a cavalry unit to charge the chariot troops, it is simply looking for death! In fact, some cavalry wings of the Japanese army have begun to equip tanks and armored vehicles to replace the outdated cavalry. However, although the Sixth Division is a strong force in the army, the equipment of the Sixth Division is quite rubbish in the army, mainly because Kumamoto, where the Sixth Division is stationed, is too poor! So the cavalry wing of the 6th Division was not equipped with combat vehicles.

Since they couldn't make a charge, they could only resist on the spot, because the chariot troops of the Shina people had already arrived in front of them, and Inoki Jintai ordered solemnly, "All dismount!" Get ready for battle! So under the order of Inoki Kinta , more than 500 cavalrymen were forced to change their careers to become infantry. The simple cavalry wing of the army (that is, it is not equipped with a chariot squadron) has two cavalry brigades, each of which has two squadrons, one squadron has only more than 100 cavalry, and the other wing has only about 500 people, plus of course 500 horses.
