    Chapter 636: The Funeral of Japanese Tanks

    The offensive and defensive battle outside Shijiazhuang was bloody and bloody. More than 300,000 soldiers from both sides fought all day long on an arc front in Dingzhou, Anguo, Raoyang, and Wuqiang. The Japanese army, which received strict orders from Okamura Neji, launched an average of  After more than a dozen attacks, they failed to make any progress, and due to the lack of artillery suppression and cover, the number of casualties was far greater than that of the Sulu Mobile Regiment's defensive troops. The ratio of casualties between the enemy and us was close to twenty to one.  -< Piaotian literature registered members recommend this work >-%.net

    Such heavy casualties cannot be tolerated by the Japanese army. The battle situation in Shijiazhuang will be reported to Tang Qiuli every day. He has set up a headquarters in the Guanshan area in southern Yangquan, preparing to meet the two groups of more than 70,000 people from Heshun heading towards Yangquan.  The Japanese troops, in Tang Qiuli's hands, assembled five brigades of Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison with more than 60,000 troops, and four brigades directly under the division headquarters, totaling nine brigades with more than 100,000 troops. One hundred thousand versus seventy thousand  , it is very possible to eat this Japanese army.

    However, there were only Feng Jiwu's five brigades around him. Troops directly under the four brigades had already moved to the Leping and Jiedu areas to block and harass the Japanese troops who invaded Niangziguan. Tang Qiuli gave four  The mission of the brigade commander is to arrange multiple echelons, alternately block attacks, slow down the Japanese army's marching speed, and never be reluctant to fight. Guard the gate of the westward retreat for the Shijiazhuang troops. In a word, let the little Japanese leave a few bodies at every step.  corpse.

    He was very satisfied with the battle situation in Shijiazhuang. He said in a telegram to Tang Qiusheng: "If we continue to fight like this, the Japanese army will definitely be killed. It is best to give heavy blows to attract the Japanese troops left behind in Pingjin to join the Shijiazhuang battlefield. Artificially causing Pingjin to  The Japanese army's defense is empty and they can take advantage of the situation to seize it."

    He did not believe that Shijiazhuang had been turned into a flesh-and-blood mill for the Japanese army. Neji Okamura, who was still hanging on in the Taihang Mountains, could sit in peace. It was indeed true. The offensive and defensive battle outside Shijiazhuang lasted for three days, except for a bunch of casualties.  , the Japanese army did not catch anything, Okamura Neiji is now in a dilemma. According to the situation, the troops in the Taihang Mountains should understand that they should return to Pingjin and retake Shijiazhuang. However, the search force he sent discovered a very strategically valuable  The target is Huangya Cave, Tang Qiuli's secret supply base in the Taihang Mountains.

    After destroying Tang Qiuli's lair, what ability does he have to deal with the imperial army in North China? Okamura Neiji is reluctant to let go of the fat that is about to come to his lips. All the troops sweeping up the Taihang Mountains must participate in this strategic goal.  The attack was the only thing that Okamura Neiji could get in the days since he entered the Taihang Mountains. He could not divide his troops to join the Shijiazhuang battlefield.

    He could only strictly order the troops to attack Shijiazhuang and regain Shijiazhuang within a time limit. The Japanese commander, who was driven almost crazy, took out his only trump card on the fourth day of the battle and attacked the third tank brigade and covered it.  Tens of thousands of soldiers carried out the most violent attack. He hoped that this time, he could tear open a few holes in the defensive positions of the Chinese army.

    Tang Qiusheng, who was in the Wuji headquarters, saw through the telescope the smoke and dust rolled into the sky by the Japanese tanks. Tang Qiuli sneered. He had long been paying attention to this Japanese armored force and grabbed the shell box.  The phone call issued an order: "Attention all heavy artillery units, according to the coordinates determined in advance, when the Japanese tanks enter the range of artillery fire, they will immediately implement artillery fire coverage."

    Tang Qiusheng had been on guard against the Japanese for a long time. The tank brigade was specifically mentioned in the intelligence provided by the special operations detachment. He did not allow the troops to carry out counterattacks because he was afraid that the Japanese tank brigade would suddenly attack and attack the troops leaving the fortifications.  To kill and injure, now, finally revealed, a feast of tens of thousands of large-caliber artillery shells is waiting for the Japanese army's iron turtle.

    The Japanese tanks roared and flames shot out from the turrets. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were as excited as chicken blood, howling and screaming. With the cover of the tanks, they no longer had to fear the endless rain of bullets from the Chinese soldiers and beat themselves into pieces.  It's a hornet's nest, and hundreds of Japanese tanks are concentrated in one assault direction. According to the tank combat theory, armored forces are used intensively to easily tear open the enemy's position under attack. The prerequisite is that the defending side does not  A large number of anti-tank weapons.

    During World War II, the Japanese army had no experience in using armor on a large scale. Tanks were basically dispersed to various infantry brigades to cover infantry charges. This was based on the actual situation on the Chinese battlefield. The Chinese ** units at that time, including  * troops have very few artillery, let alone anti-tank weapons. On the frontal battlefield, two or three tanks can often break through the positions of a regiment or even a division of the Chinese defenders.

    Chinese soldiers can only use their flesh and blood, hold cluster grenades, and sacrifice many lives to blow up a Japanese tank. Now, the Japanese commander adopts such a formation of concentrated use of armored forces, and tanks  The formation is extremely dense, and his intention is to erect a movable steel barrier on the offensive road to minimize the risk of attack.The casualties of the soldiers will also be a shock to the defending Chinese soldiers. Maybe they will be scared to give up their positions and run away.

    The theory is good, but the troops under the command of Tang Qiuli, a freak, have long taught how to destroy Japanese tanks as the most basic tactical theory to commanders at all levels to deal with these steel monsters that spit steel, spit fire, and bared their teeth and claws.  There are at least a dozen ways to deal with the troops of the German Army. Compared with the German Army at the same time, the level of armor used by the little devils is not even at the kindergarten level.

    Hundreds of tanks marched hand in hand, with a distance of less than three meters. The formation was indeed majestic. They had already entered the range of the light and heavy machine guns of the Chinese ** team. In the past, bullets like a storm hit the tank armor and splashed.  One spark after another, no damage was done, the Japanese commander's face became more peaceful, the Japanese soldiers became more courageous, and the shouts of killing became louder for a while.

    The ground trembled, and under the bright sunlight, large amounts of light blue smoke rose from behind the Chinese defenders' positions. Metal projectiles visible to the naked eye fell from the sky with an ear-piercing scream that cut through the air. Thick smoke pillars, like an oolong  Soaring straight into the sky, the deafening explosion hit the eardrums, and the explosion points connected together. The Japanese tank column was immediately submerged in the flash of fire.

    At least a few hundred large-caliber artillery salvos were undoubtedly a disaster for the "Izu" series of light tanks, which were scornfully called thin-skinned iron coffins by European and American countries. The huge power of the large-caliber artillery shells tore apart the thin skin of the Japanese Izu tanks.  The armor shredded the Japanese tank soldiers inside. More Japanese tanks were hit and caught fire, their tracks were broken, and their bellies were turned upside down.

    Some Japanese tanks were directly hit by artillery shells, and the turrets flew into the sky like air. There were Japanese tanks emitting black smoke and flames everywhere. Unfortunately, the artillery shells got into the tanks and tore the tanks into pieces. The Japanese army  With flames on their bodies, the tank crew screamed and jumped out of the vehicle, but they could not escape the shells flying in the sky. From time to time, ammunition ignited by high temperature in the tank exploded, and the tank exploded into a ball of fire.

    The Japanese infantry following the tanks were unlucky and were submerged under the volcanic eruption of shelling. Seeing all this, the Japanese commander's face turned pale, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed uncontrollably. It was terrifying. The Chinese army's  The commander actually used such fierce artillery fire to deal with the attack of the tank group. His trump card and last trump card was gone.

    He slumped down on the box of shells. Tanks emitting black smoke and flashing flames were flying all over the sky under the gunfire of the Chinese army. Soldiers suffering from hell stung his eyes and stung him even more.  In my heart, what kind of army is this?  Although he knew that this was the Tang Qiuli Army Division known as the China Devil and feared by everyone in the North China Imperial Army, he still murmured to himself like a dream, a terrible opponent.

    The remaining Japanese tanks saw that something was wrong. Even though they were made of steel, they were still targets. They turned around in a hurry and prepared to escape from this terrible slaughterhouse. How could it be so cheap? The anti-tank gun detachments of each brigade were shelling  By that time, they had already moved to the front of the position. Several guns were aimed at a target and sent metal jets into the Japanese tanks.

    The sound of artillery stopped, and the battlefield was full of burning Japanese tanks. There were hundreds of tanks in a brigade. Not a single one escaped back. They all became a pile of scrap metal on the battlefield. Tens of thousands of tanks accompanied the tank attack.  Only more than half of the Japanese infantry fled back, and the rest turned into fragmented corpses.

    This day was known as the happiest day of the Sulu Mobile Corps. A Japanese tank brigade was wiped out and more than 10,000 Japanese infantry were killed. The battle report was telegraphed to the division commander Tang Qiuli. While he was eating, he immediately threw down his rice bowl and went to work in person.  I sent a congratulatory message to Tang Qiusheng: "I am glad to hear that your troops have completely wiped out the Japanese tank brigade. This is the greatest victory in the Shijiazhuang battle. It has cleared the obstacles in advance for our army to fight in the plain areas in the future. I have issued an order to commend all the soldiers of the Sulu Mobile Corps."

    The staff officer took away the telegram manuscript. Tang Qiuli was still thinking about it. A smile appeared on his lips. Brother Qiu Sheng was becoming more and more proficient in the art of commanding operations. The generals under him, each with a heavy army, had their own unique fighting styles. He had always believed that Brother Qiu Sheng  His command style is mature and prudent, but slightly lacking in strength. Now it seems that this view must be overturned. Should he take Mei Ting and Mei Xue back to Dingbian for a long vacation and completely let go of the battlefield command?

    Tang Qiuli, who was in a good mood, turned his head and saw Mei Xue's clear and beautiful eyes, staring intently at himself walking back and forth. He stretched out his strong arms and held Mei Xue's soft and elastic body in his arms.  He came to Mei Xue's red lips and kissed her passionately. He fell in love with this tender girl more and more.

    Mei Xue was shy, afraid of being bumped into by the staff and correspondents, but also reluctant to bear the taste of sex. After a symbolic struggle, she was instantly lost in Tang Qiuli's strong embrace. She took the initiative to cater to her and teased Tang Qiuli's heart.  Has been busy directing operations, there is no chance to further capture Mei Xue's body and mind. Maybe, after these few battles, there will be time.
