Chapter 396: Reverse Bombardment

In response to the Japanese army's frantic bombardment in the air, the Youlong Group Army was not idle on the ground, and they merged several group armies organized by Wang Xian, as well as patriotic troops in the Sichuan-Shaanxi area, to form a huge corps.

The commander-in-chief of this corps is Wu Xiaolong, the commander-in-chief of the Youlong Army is Wang Lianhao, the commander-in-chief of the Zhanlong Armored Division Hu Rentian, and the commander-in-chief and political commissar of the coalition forces are Wang Xian, which also includes the expanded Gao Feng Department of the Eighteenth Army, Qiu Yueze of the Twenty-third Army, Liu Shaoyong of the Forty-sixth Army, Wei Yinghao of the Fifty-first Army, and Li Xiang of the Seventy-seventh Army.

The trident depicted by Zhou Yu is finally about to begin to exert its power.

In August, Hu Rentian's armored corps took the lead and broke through the enemy's roadcard pass with a devastating momentum to the south of Dongting Lake in Hubei, clearing the obstacles for the follow-up friendly troops.

The Japanese army, which had already been actively organizing a retreat to the east, still did not intend to give up the occupied territory to them so easily, and the Japanese commander Anan gathered nine divisions of infantry, more than 20 warships, more than 100 motorboats, and more than 100 aircraft, a total of 120,000 troops, and set up a defensive formation in the area of Yueyang and Linxiang.

But the unstoppable Hu Rentian Armored Legion was like a hot knife inserted into the butter, tearing a big hole in Anan's defensive position on the coast of Dongting Lake.

In addition, many fishermen on the shores of Dongting Lake began to voluntarily contribute their own fishing boats, and cast a large number of fishing nets in Dongting Lake, which made it easy for Japanese warships and airboats to get entangled in fishing nets when walking on the lake, which greatly affected their mobility.

Usually at this time, dozens or even hundreds of fishing boats would rush out of the reeds near the lake, and the soldiers on them would throw grenades and burner flasks at the Japanese warships, and they would also use machine guns to set fire to the opponent's motorboats and sink them directly.

The Japanese warships in Dongting Lake were like Wang Ba trapped in a pond, unable to fight and unable to escape, and finally had to surrender with their guns raised.

On land, the 18th, 23rd, 46th, 51st, and 77th armies, as well as the combined corps led by Wang Xian, totaling more than 80,000 people, followed by Hu Rentian's armored forces, successively captured the Taolin, Xitang, and Xinkaitang areas in Yueyang, and directly took Changsha.

Seeing this, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Anan, could only lead his soldiers to start fighting and retreating, but soon, the super-powerful Hu Rentian armored force completed a big detour, driving the Japanese army to the area west of Dayun Mountain, where it ambushed a field artillery unit and bombarded it in a covering style.

In the face of the roaring shells, the dense formation of the Japanese army was devastated, but the remnants of the soldiers were still under the leadership of the commander, and the Buddha dawned to force the crossing of the Borneo River, but they did not expect that there was also an ambush here A Chinese army was also ambushed, cutting the enemy troops who were crossing the river into two sections, so that they could not take care of each other, and this method of dividing and annihilating was the best way for the soldiers of the Dragon Legion.

In this battle of Dongting Lake, the commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, Kanda Masazhong, and the 4th Division Kitano Xianzao, were killed and wounded, while the commander of the 4th Division, Shizuichi Aoki, was captured alive by the soldiers of the Dragon Legion.

At this point, the Japanese troops stationed in the area of Dongting Lake began to retreat in an all-round way, and the whole battle lasted less than a week, and the Japanese army lost more than half of the more than 100,000 troops equipped here, and the commander-in-chief A Nan committed suicide, and the Trident Army successfully drove into Changsha, and captured all the Japanese warships and airboats anchored in Dongting Lake.

"Hahaha~~~ Happy, happy! The battle is to be fought like this, the more people, the better, the more, the better~! ”

Hu Rentian climbed out of the tank shirtless, wiped his sweat with a towel, took the ice water handed by his subordinates, and poured a bottle directly into his mouth.

In the hottest weather in August and September, the difficulties encountered by Hu Rentian were not given by the enemy, but by God.

"Lao Hu, the enemy's rout has begun to retreat to the south of Changsha, according to intelligence, there is a Japanese army group stationed there, the commander is Yokoyama Isamu, before he commanded ten divisions of about 200,000 people."

Li Bai looked at the information in his hand and told Hu Rentian about the basic situation of the enemy in front of him.

"Two hundred thousand? Blatch Lao Tzu, will Lao Tzu be afraid of him? That's just the number of people when the Japanese army occupied Hengshan before, and his 200,000 people were in charge of a large area, and the number of people who pulled down to block us was about 50,000. ”

At this time, the copper lock was also naked, with a wet towel on his shoulder, and came over to answer: "I agree with Lao Hu, but for the sake of insurance, we should send a plane to reconnoiter first." ”

"Okay, then send a radio to the dog baby, mainly to reconnoiter the movements of the enemy forces in Ningxiang, Xiangxiang and Hengyang."

With the help of Zhou Zhen and the elite Flying Dragon Squad, Hu Rentian seemed to open the perspective of God, he killed all the way from the east bank of Dongting Lake to the south bank, drove the enemy away from Changsha, and fought two beautiful sniper battles in Guandu and Liu Yang.

At this moment, the slightly trimmed armored corps quickly received feedback from the reconnaissance aircraft.

"Dog baby, this kid, is getting more and more efficient."

After getting dressed again, Hu Rentian and the others, who had already finished resting, got into the sweltering heat of the tanks and armored vehicles again, and according to the direction detected by the aerial reconnaissance plane, they were at full speed, preparing to make a surprise attack around the rear and stun these little Japan.

Hu Rentian's offensive began, and it took only one day to break through the positions arranged by the Japanese army in the suburbs, and successively occupied Ningxiang, Liuyang, Xiangtan and other places.

The Japanese troops who withdrew into Hengyang gathered all the defeated troops at the first time, actively built fortifications, and had a posture of fighting to the death and never giving in.

"These little Japan finally stopped running, they lost their temper by us a few days ago, and now they are trying to use positional warfare to save some of the decline, hehe~ Lao Tzu won't give you this chance, and then it's time for the dog babies to perform."

Just as the Trident forces began to counterattack the Japanese army to the east, the arsenal controlled by the Dragon Chamber of Commerce delivered another batch of fighters and bombers.

Zhou Yu sent this group of fighters to the Huaxia Continent together with a group of pilots who had recently graduated from the Longxing Military Academy.

They transported the planes and their precious pilots to Southeast Asia via the east coast of the New World and several small islands in the vast sea, and then assembled in Chengdu to expand the airfield and build a new runway to help the Trident Army accomplish its military goal of driving the enemy into the sea.

However, with the addition of these bombers and fighters, the air power between the two armies suddenly became a reversal, Wu Xiaolong's side, there were more than 200 more planes in his hand, and the enemy also paid a heavy price in the previous frenzied bombing, but there were less than 50 planes left in the central theater, which is not to say that they did not have enough planes, but they did not have enough pilots.

Wu Xiaolong seized this opportunity, and together with Zhou Zhenyi, he worked out a retaliatory plan for bombing and destroying Japanese military bases and industrial facilities on the same day.

This plan was aimed at the Japanese army's previous crazy destruction of eight cities in China, and this time the feng shui turned, Wu Xiaolong on the second day after formulating the plan, he sent 75 B29 bombers, these planes took off from the Chengdu base, crossed the head of the Japanese army, and directly dropped more than 400 tons of bombs on its native Kyushu Yaman Iron and Steel Plant, and this targeted bombing also caused serious damage to the Japanese army's local blast furnace and workshop.

Only one day apart, the B29 bombers that took off again visited several naval bases such as Kyushu and Sasebo, and a week later, the Japanese army's steel mills, military factories, airports, railway stations and other places were taken care of.
