765, a bit of a hassle......
Chilu Jun gritted his teeth.
Very angry. It's helpless.
Want to explode on the spot. But there's no way to blow it up.
Instead, shells kept falling around the division headquarters. Burst into flames. It's like the end of the world.
In fact, it is indeed the end of the world.
For all Japanese criminals, today is the beginning of the end of the world.
After determining that there was no hope of retaking the docks, the only thing Akakajun could do was to delay the collapse of the troops, and at the same time urge Kenji Dohihara to retreat quickly.
"Quick!"
"Immediately move closer to Zongyang!"
"Quick!"
Kenji Tsuchihara was also in a hurry.
Once Zongyang falls, it will really be a dead end. No one can untie it. Unless they are willing to pay a great price.
For example, stop the attack on Xuzhou and Quancheng.
It's true.
It's not easy for Amaterasu to come.
This trick of the Chinese is really vicious. It happened to be inserted in the most lethal part of the Japanese army.
Who could have imagined that the Chinese would be so aggressive.
Quickly conquer the docks.
"Quick!"
"Quick!"
Japanese troops at all levels were frantically attacking eastward.
Nervous though. Although in a hurry. However, the organization and discipline of the Japanese army were still very strong.
Even though they knew the danger, most of the Japanese troops were still fanatical.
They all feel that this is a momentary carelessness that will fall into the trap of the Chinese.
As long as the trap of the Chinese is broken, there is still hope for victory.
"Quick!"
"Quick!"
Here, Hu Lian is also very anxious.
The situation on the battlefield changed so quickly that Wang Yaowu could not fully grasp the situation and could not command. It can only be handed over to the troops for immediate disposal.
How to deal with it on the spot?
In fact, it's just one word: hit! Hit hard!
Where the Japanese invaders fight the most.
Where the Japanese invaders are the strongest, where they fight.
What the Japanese want to do, they just don't let it do.
For example, if the Japanese want to recapture the docks, then fight back. Resolutely do not allow the Japanese to recapture the docks.
For example, if the Japanese want to move eastward, then resolutely block it.
Now, what the 67th Division of the Nationalist Army is doing is to establish a defensive line extending from the river to the north to block the eastward movement of the Japanese invaders.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Under the cover of artillery fire, the line of defense gradually penetrated to about five kilometers.
Zongyang has been completely taken. Because the Japanese have already given up on their own initiative. If you don't give up, you can't do it. It was well within the range of the destroyer's 127-mm naval guns. It can be directly shelled and crushed.
"Master Song!"
"Master Song!"
Zhang Chu suddenly saw Song Ruike.
The other side also went ashore from the dock with troops. Prepare to build a second blockade.
Only a few thousand people in the 67th Division may not be enough. Because of the previous combat attrition, it has not been fully replenished. Purely in terms of troops, Song Ruike's Eighth Division has more people.
But transport power is the big problem. There were not enough ships to transport two divisions.
"What's the matter?" Song Ruike asked calmly.
"You extend the docks to the west. Expand to a radius of more than 10 kilometers as soon as possible. Zhang Chu shouted loudly.
The sound of gunfire on the battlefield was deafening, and the sound was so low that it could not be heard at all.
From time to time, stray bullets flew by.
No matter what level you are, you can be heroic at any time.
But no one cares.
At this point, life and death have long been put aside.
"Good!"
Song Ruike agreed.
He understood Zhang Chu's worries. Mainly heavy cannons of the Japanese invaders.
The 14th Division of the Japanese had a heavy artillery wing. Armed with thirty-six 105-mm heavy cannons. This is the most powerful weapon of the Japanese invaders.
Previously, there were also destroyers providing artillery support from the river. Thankfully, there aren't anymore.
"Master Hu!"
"Master Hu!"
Zhang Chu came to Hu Lian again.
There is a weapon, and it feels like only Hu Lian can play with it.
Others don't seem to be so flexible.
"What's the matter?"
"Want a tank? German tank No. 3. ”
"What?"
Hu Lian was immediately overjoyed.
Tank?
Good stuff!
Or the third tank of the Germans!
He knew that this was the main tank of the German army. The Germans did not have enough equipment of their own. Where did Zhang Chu get it?
"How many are there?"
"Twelve."
"Yes, yes!"
Hu Lian was overjoyed.
Twelve tanks! Hey, awesome!
He can form a tank regiment!
Looking at so many troops around Anqing, who has a tank regiment?
The entire battle sequence of the national army, that is, the Fifth Army commanded by Du Yuming. It was a newly formed mechanized unit. There were Soviet-style tanks.
"Will you use it?"
"Yes!"
Hu Lian replied without hesitation.
Actually, he's not too good at using it. Know. I've seen it. But it wasn't used.
But what does it matter?
Let's talk about it first.
As long as there is, he can use it day and night.
Maybe others don't have that much interest in new things. He is an exception. He was very fond of tinkering with new weapons and new methods of warfare.
"Okay, I'll give it to you!" Zhang Chu nodded.
Arrange delivery immediately.
Here, Hu Lian immediately organized personnel to form a tank regiment.
What?
Can't drive?
It's all right. Groping for learning on your own.
It's really not good, and it's good to use a tank as a fixed battery. Super defense.
"It's coming!"
"It's coming!"
Ten minutes later, the tank was delivered.
Straight from the east. I don't know how the system does it. But it did.
"Quick!"
"Quick!"
Hu Lian smiled and blossomed.
It's really not a lie. There really are tanks!
And really the third tank of the Germans! Much stronger than the devil's tank.
"Good stuff!"
"That's a good thing!"
Hu Lian stroked the No. 3 tank with emotion.
The surrounding national troops are also cool and crooked. They were all happy and smiled in the corners of their eyes.
Only Zhang Chu remained silent.
Tank No. 3 is really good. It can be said that it is one of the main tanks of World War II.
However, in front of the Type 59 tank, it seems to be small again.
The Germans themselves were not satisfied with the performance of tanks No. 3 and No. 4, so they developed super-powerful tanks such as the Tiger and King Tiger. The five-nine style should be able to tie with the tiger style, right?
The Type 59 is a 100 mm tank gun, and the Tiger Type is an 88 gun......
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, a shell fell nearby.
A large amount of dust flew up, pulling Zhang Chu back from his chaotic thoughts.
Think too much.
Hurry up and put the tank into battle.
It can be seen with the naked eye that there are dense Japanese invaders in the west.
Needless to say, it was the Japanese army that wanted to break through.
I can think with my knees how desperate the Japanese invaders who are crazy to break through will be!
This is a veritable bloody battle!
"The devil is coming!"
"Yes."
"Dog's Day ......"
Hu Lian and Song Ruike both had cold faces. Stern.
In the face of so many Japanese invaders, I said that I was not nervous. That's fake. The Nationalist army surrounded the Japanese outside. But the Zongyang pier was surrounded by Japanese invaders.
Does this count as a central flowering?
Zhang Chu didn't know. But the level of danger is really very high.
If Li Yunlong is here, maybe ......
Forget it, it's far away again.
What he can rely on now is two divisions of the national army. are not satisfied. The total strength may be less than 3,000 men.
Yes. Limited transport capacity. Around the Zongyang wharf, the entire strength of the national army combined, there were no 3,000 people. Although the torpedo boats are still transporting troops. But it's not very efficient.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
The Japanese artillery fire became more and more intense.
At the same time, there were a large number of Japanese invaders rushing upward. The amount is very large. It's almost a black pressed human head.
In the fierce battle, the defense line of the national army was crumbling.
Zhang Chu picked up a Garand semi-automatic rifle.
Harvest the heads!
Now, any tactical deployment is fake. It is only true that the Japanese invaders are physically eliminated.
"Bang!"
Kill a Japanese Criminal.
Direct headshot.
"Ding......
"You killed the Japanese ......"
"You get a special reward: a ...... of a domestic 122-mm howitzer"
Boy.
It's 122 grenades! Terrible!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Shoot faster.
Killed seven Japanese criminals in one go. There is no pause in between.
The goal is very clear. The distance is only five hundred meters.
The swarming Japanese invaders were almost not very hidden. There is also no time to give them concealment.
What the Japanese need to do now is attack! Offensive! Offensive!
They must open the passage to the east!
So......
No matter how many people fell, the other Japanese still rushed upward.
Zhang Chu changed the magazine.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Keep shooting.
The face is expressionless.
It's like a robot that can shoot.
"Ding......
"You killed the Japanese ......"
"You get a special reward: a ...... of a domestic 155mm howitzer"
"Ding......
"You killed the Japanese ......"
"You get a special reward: a ...... of a Fletcher-class destroyer"
"Ding......
Information keeps coming.
The harvest was very rich.
However, none of this is the point. The point is that the Japanese have rushed to a distance of 100 meters!
That's amazing!
With such fierce firepower, the Japanese invaders were able to rush up.
It's really incredible.
However, on the battlefield, anything can happen.
The Japanese invaders are also out of the way.
Even if the companions in front fell layer by layer, the ones behind still went forward without the slightest hesitation.
"Click......
"Click......
Zhang Chu picked up a Thomson submachine gun.
Press and hold the trigger. Beat a drum directly. More than 20 Japanese invaders fell in one breath.
The 11.43mm pistol bullet is not bad. The stopping effect is strong. If it was an ordinary shell gun bullet, it would definitely not kill so many Japanese criminals.
Change the drums.
"Click......
"Click......
Another drum beating. A dozen more Japanese criminals fell.
However, the Japanese criminals behind them still rushed up layer upon layer. Many of the Japanese invaders jumped over the corpses of their companions and rushed upwards like devils.
It's terrible!
It's all a bunch of monsters!
I had no choice but to sacrifice a big killing weapon.
"Sudden ......"
"Sudden ......"
Zhang Chu unleashed the 12.7 mm Browning machine gun.
Directly a bullet chain is completely wiped out.
"Puff puff ......"
"Puff puff ......"
In an instant, the battlefield became a living purgatory.
Finally, the Japanese attack was contained.
Where the bullets spoke, the Japanese invaders shattered one after another.
No matter how ferocious their impact was, they were mercilessly torn apart by the 12.7mm bullets.
"Hoo ......"
"Poof......
While Zhang Chu was fighting, he arranged an airdrop.
Holy shit, I really can't deal with you without a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun. In that case, then arrange!
Just three hundred!
One by one, the packages landed. Inside were all May Fourth 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns.
In addition, there were five 14.5-mm twin anti-aircraft machine guns. It's all sporadic rewards. Since the Japanese are so crazy, let's greet them with 14.5mm bullets!
"Move them all!"
"Move them all!"
Zhang Chu shouted loudly.
He won't believe it, and he won't be able to stop you!
At the same time, more mortars were airdropped.
Mainly 60 mm. Although the caliber is small. But flexible. Very easy to use.
"Quick!"
"Quick!"
Song Ruike shouted loudly.
He succeeded Hu Lian as commander-in-chief. Because Hu Lian went to tinker with the tank.
Twelve tanks have not yet been put into battle at once. Because Hu Lian did not have professional tank personnel around him. None of them even know how to drive tanks. You have to start from scratch.
Zhang Chu also didn't have enough time to teach. He needs to pay close attention to changes in the battlefield and arrange airdrops.
When necessary, you have to fight in person.
The combat resilience of the national army is indeed inferior to that of the Eighth Route Army, and once it encounters extreme situations, the battle line is easy to collapse.
"Sudden ......"
"Sudden ......"
All sorts of anti-aircraft machine guns fired wildly.
All 14.5 mm twin machine guns were also flattened for strafing.
It just so happened that the Japanese attacked again.
"Kill the ......"
"Kill the ......"
A tidal wave of Japanese invaders swarmed up.
There is no tactics at all. It's all human. Immerse yourself in the upward rush.
"Puff puff ......"
"Ahhh......h
The human body is as fragile as a vermicelli in the face of large-caliber bullets.
The Japanese were killed in rows, in strings, and in columns.
One bullet pierces three or four enemies.
Those 14.5mm machine gun bullets have an effective range of more than three thousand meters!
Within a radius of two thousand meters, no human body can stop it. Even if it's a distance of 3,000 meters, you will still be hit. Killed.
"Hit!"
"Hit!"
Song Ruike's face gradually turned hideous.
The fight between the two sides is already without brains. It's all subconscious.
For the national army, it is just one word, that is, fighting.
For the Japanese invaders, it is also a word, that is, rush!
"Onboard ......"
"Onboard ......"
The roars of the Japanese invaders came and went.
The Japanese criminals who don't want to die are no longer human at all. It's the beast. It's the devil.
As if it wasn't to charge. Rather, they came to seek death.
It wasn't quiet until it was broken.
One hour ......
Two-hour ......
Three-hour ......
Finally, the battle came to an end a little.
"Quick!"
"Quick!"
Groups of national troops rushed out and pushed away the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in front of the position, so as not to affect the firing range.
There were too many Japanese criminals who were killed. Some are stacked in four or five layers. Serious impact on line of sight.
"Boom la la ......"
"Boom la la ......"
There was a constant sound of bullet casings being stirred.
This is a national soldier cleaning up bullet casings around a machine-gun position. In order to free up enough space for more shells.
There are also soldiers sorting out the barrels.
Just now, the barrels were all red, and it was too late to change them.
Now it's hard to pause, and of course it's time to sort out the barrel. You'll have to fight hard for a while.
Zhang Chu raised his head.
Look at the far north. And the rear of the devils.
Is there any movement from the rest of the national army?
Do they know that the Japanese invaders have retreated on all fronts?
Did they launch a pursuit?
"Master Song!"
"In!"
"Have you reported to Commander Wang that the Japanese invaders have retreated on all fronts?"
"Reported."
"What did he say?"
"Haven't called back yet."
"Oh......"
Zhang Chu was helpless.
What is Wang Yaowu doing?
Indecisive?
That's not going to work!
At this critical juncture, it is necessary to command all troops into battle. Including Gui Yongqing's 27th Army.
No one can stay out of it.
No matter which link is not in place, it may lead to the escape of some of the Japanese invaders.
He had already escaped twice before by the Japanese invaders. Zhang Chu was already very unhappy. If I get away with the Japanese invaders this time. He coordinated and commanded the upper echelons of the national army. Will be really disappointed.
It is useless how brave the troops below are. I can't stand the blind command at the top.
In fact, this is what Wang Yaowu is most worried about.
Ming said that he is most worried about the commission now interfering.
"Throne, if Shangfeng asks......" The chief of staff stopped talking.
The current situation is so chaotic that if the old man asks about it, it will probably not be easy to answer.
A lot of the time, it's the old man who doesn't ask. As soon as you ask, something happens.
Because as soon as you report the situation, the old man will think that you have loopholes here, loopholes there, and then he can't help but intervene in the deployment himself. As a result, there are more vulnerabilities.
Frankly speaking, Wang Yaowu was reluctant to report in detail. However, it is not good to always be sloppy.
After all, he is a commissioner. Supreme.
"Let's just say that the armies are attacking in an orderly manner, and everything is going well." Wang Yaowu replied.
"Yes." The chief of staff was slightly relieved.
It is estimated that only this kind of intelligence can make the old man interfere a little.
After all, everything is going well at the front, and no matter how much he intervenes, he will not be able to show his ability. But Wang Yaowu's own risk will be relatively large.
In case you report that everything is going well and ends up in a mess, then tragedy.
He loves face, and he hates others to deceive him the most. Once angry, shoot ......
"Telegraph to Hu Zongnan. It is said that the Japanese are retreating on all fronts. ”
"Yes!"
The chief of staff turned and went.
Immediately, he returned with a telegram.
"From the chamberlain."
"Read."
"Yes."
The chief of staff read the telegram over it.
Wang Yaowu's expression was a little dignified. It's not that someone from above is meddling in the command. It was the 12th and 15th divisions of the Japanese invaders who attacked from Chaoxian.
In addition, there was also the 11th Division of the Japanese invaders, which also attacked westward from Chuzhou. Cooperate with the 12th and 15th divisions to storm westward.
Obviously, the Japanese invaders temporarily gave up their northward attack on Xuzhou in an attempt to save Anqing.
It's a bit of a hassle.
The Japanese invaders, who were preparing to go north to attack Xuzhou, were also a heavy army group, with a total of seven divisions. Now three are free, and there are still four.
It is estimated that the remaining four divisions and regiments, the Japanese invaders have also made proper arrangements, and they will keep an eye on the national army around Xuzhou.
In other words, in the short term, no other unit will be able to intercept the three divisions of the Japanese invaders. It's a bit of a hassle if you let them go all the way west.
"Now, we only have one brigade of the Dian Army, which can block the Japanese invaders a little."
However, the number of Fan Tianxi's troops in the Yunnan army was only about 12,000. It was certainly not an opponent of the three divisions of the Japanese invaders. ”
"In fact, once the Dian army is caught in battle, the Japanese can completely bypass him."
The chief of staff frowned. The situation is not encouraging.
Previously, the main reason why the Japanese invaders did not send reinforcements for a long time was that they did not want to affect the overall deployment.
Now, the Japanese invaders have taken the initiative to abandon Xuzhou, and the fifth war zone is safe for the time being. However, the pressure on Anqing's side has increased sharply. In any case, the national army could not withstand the onslaught of the three divisions of the Japanese invaders.
Now, there are only two options.
First, before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, eliminate Kenji Tohihara.
Otherwise, once the three divisions of the Japanese invaders arrive, it will be the turn of the national army to suffer from the enemy. At that time, the Japanese invaders will attack on two fronts, and it is possible that the national army will be defeated on all fronts.
The second is to withdraw from the siege.
Before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, immediately organize the retreat of all national troops. Avoid the Japanese invaders.
In this way, Kenji Dohihara will escape.
It's a bit of a hassle!
The Japanese army actually gave up the overall strategy and came to Anqing all.
Wang Yaowu is caught in a difficult choice.
