Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Chapter 262

As early as a month ago, the battle on the southern section of Jinpu Road had already started.

The commander of the Japanese army on the southern front was first General Matsui Iwane of the Central China Front Army, and later the Sixth General Hata Toshi, commanding three divisions with about [-] troops, crossing the Yangtze River from Zhenjiang, Nanjing and Wuhu successively to the north.

After the main force of Fujita Jin's third division captured Chu County, it advanced north along Jinpu Road to the vicinity of Xuyi and Zhangbaling;

Another part of the Japanese army captured Yangzhou, and then attacked the Shaobo and Tianchang lines to cover the Zhenjiang line of defense.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke's Ninth Division captured Yuxikou, marched north along the Huainan Railway to Chao County and Quanjiao, and attempted to go straight to Bengbu.

Hata Junliu thought it would be easy to capture Bengbu, but he didn't expect to encounter fierce resistance as soon as he drove to the south of Mingguang.

Li Zongren deployed Li Pinxian's No.11 Army and Yu Xuezhong's First Army to block the Japanese army by using the Huaihe River, Feihe River, and Huihe River.

The Japanese army was blocked here and could not go one step further.

For this reason, Jun Hata was furious and immediately mobilized reinforcements and heavy weapons such as tanks and field guns from Nanjing to intensify the attack.

The Japanese army attacked north from Pukou, and shortly after passing Chuzhou, they were hit hard by Liu Shiyi's 31st Army in Zhangbaling, Sanjie, Jiashanji and Outang.

Liu Shiyi's army is the Guangxi army, and the Guangxi army is famous for not being afraid of death in battle.

Liu Shiyi's 31st Army took advantage of the mountainous terrain to attack frequently, demolished the railway, and set up an empty city plan in Mingguang City to kill a returning carbine, severely hitting the Japanese northern criminals.

"Xinhua Daily" reporter Lu Yi came to the Mingguang front, interviewed Liu Shiyi and dozens of officers and soldiers, and wrote a report: "The return from the Huainan battlefield has convinced me that the reason why the Guangxi Army is called the Guangxi Army is by no means accidental.

The Guangxi army made the Japanese army tremble with fear. This is the fruit of their hard work accumulated over the years.The Guangxi Army is the pride of the times, and played a mainstay role in the great Anti-Japanese National War. "

Li Zongren was very excited when he learned that Liu Shiyi's army had won the battle. He called to congratulate them and was proud of his Guangxi soldiers.

On January 1, the Japanese army divided into three groups and went north from Mingguang, intending to capture Bengbu and forcefully cross the Huaihe River.

Li Zongren decisively ordered the Liao Lei Group Army, which had just withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield to Zhejiang for rest, to quickly march to the Bengbu area.

Liao Lei's army was also a Guangxi army. Li Zongren commanded it handily and was on call, and caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army on the front lines of Zhangdian, Guzhen, Liuji and Huji.

In early February, the Japanese army reinforced the strength of a division and successively conquered important places such as Xiaobengbu and Caolaoji, and the situation became extremely critical in an instant.

Li Zongren ordered Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army to march south along Jinpu Road to aid Huaibei.

Zhang Zizhong led his troops to arrive in Guzhen on February 2, and fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for one day. He successively conquered strongholds such as Caolaoji, Xiaobengbu, and Huaiyuan, and cleared out the Japanese army that had rushed to the north of Huainan, and assisted Yu Xuezhong's troops to restore their original positions. .

So far, the Chinese army and the Japanese army have formed a state of confrontation across the river.

Zhang Zizhong was Feng Yuxiang's former unit, and his Broadsword Squad had gained a reputation for hacking and killing Japanese soldiers in close combat and night combat during the Anti-Japanese War at Xifengkou Great Wall.

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on July [-]th, the defense of Pingjin failed. Zhang Zizhong was appointed as the mayor of Beiping, and he dealt with the Japanese army according to the secret order of Song Zheyuan!

Zhang Zizhong bears the burden of humiliation and covers the safe retreat of Song Zheyuan's army, but the outside world does not know the truth, and everyone thinks that he is a traitor who betrays the country and seeks glory.

Later, Zhang Zizhong escaped from Beiping and arrived in Nanjing after several twists and turns.

However, the public opinion circles who don't know the truth call for him to be severely punished as an example, and some people in the military circle want to take the opportunity to incorporate his troops.

At this critical moment, Li Zongren stepped forward to invite Zhang Zizhong to have a long talk, saying: "Brother Jinchen, I know, you have been wronged.

Now public opinion condemns you, because they don't know the truth, and when they understand the truth, they won't scold you.

I know that you are chivalrous and strict in running the army. I understand you, and of course I can forgive you. "

Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but shed tears, and said with shame: "This time I personally ventured to Beijing to surrender myself as a criminal and wait for the central government to punish me."

Li Zongren encouraged: "Brother Jinchen, I advise you not to be discouraged. I am going to speak to the chairman and let you go back and continue to lead the troops."

Feng Yuxiang and Li Zongren helped Zhang Zizhong succeed Song Zheyuan as the commander of the Ninth Army in February.

When Zhang Zizhong bid farewell to Li Zongren, he said:

"If it weren't for Chief Li's promise, even if I, Mr. Zhang, were not shot, I would still be imprisoned as a national sinner.

Now that the chief officer of Mongolia has been fulfilled and recreated with kindness, I, Zhang, will serve the country with my blood and my life in order to repay my friendship. "

Later, Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army became Li Zongren's theater organization in the fifth theater. Naturally, he obeyed Li Zongren's orders and orders, and he was desperate to fight!

After more than a month of bloody battles, the southern front of the Fifth Theater has temporarily stabilized the situation and entered a state of confrontation across the river. However, the Japanese army is further mobilizing troops, and the pressure on the Fifth Theater will only increase!

On the northern front, Han Fuju's Third Army retreated without a fight, abandoning the Yellow River defense line, Jinan, Tai'an, Laiwu and other important military areas, causing the Japanese army to occupy a large area of ​​​​Shandong Lunan in a short period of time!

Fortunately, the Huaxia Huben Army led by Yang Fan was like a big magnet, firmly attracting the two Type A divisions of the Japanese army. Otherwise, Xuzhou was already facing the danger of two attacking forces at this moment.

But even so, the strong North China Front Army still put tremendous pressure on the northern front of the Fifth Theater. For example, the 33rd Brigade of the Tenth Division is now detouring to attack Ju County, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Linyi, a military center!

In addition, the 20th Division of the Japanese North China Front Army is moving towards Jinan, Shandong, and will arrive in Shandong in a short time!

Therefore, Li Zongren is too busy to take care of himself now, and it is not easy to temporarily stabilize the situation and block the Japanese Central China Front Army to the south of the Huaihe River!

Even knowing that Yang Fan is now in a tight siege and danger, Li Zongren can't spare much troops to help him. After all, active defense and active attack are two concepts!

Yang Fan flew over the frontline battlefield of Zhoujiazhuang Village in a helicopter, and saw the whole picture of the Japanese battlefield clearly.

"Oh my god, what do these little devils want to do? Do they really want to break through our defense line in one go?"

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, standing by the window and looking into the distance with a telescope, Ren Yixiong realized that the situation was much more serious than expected!

I saw thousands of Devil infantry pulling out the skirmish line, launching a full-scale general attack on the 6-kilometer-long defense line like a tide, among them there are many Devil light tanks, mortar squads, and demolition squads!

The battlefield of tens of square miles was full of bullets, violent explosions, and gunpowder smoke filled the entire battlefield, and life-and-death decisive battles were staged everywhere.

Chapter 263 Shocked

I saw that the devils were charging desperately, and several bunkers in the forward positions were blown out of big holes by the Japanese army. In many trenches, the enemy and us have already fought together at close range!

Almost every moment, Chinese officers and soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the battle was extremely fierce!

Liu Qiang looked up and down, looked back at Ren Yixiong and said, "Brigade Commander Ren, can you stand up to this?"

Ren Yixiong's expression was not very good either, he took a deep breath and said, "It's absolutely no problem to hold on, the frontline troops haven't called for reinforcements yet!

Although the little devils attacked fiercely, the casualties they paid were at least twice as much as ours. I don't believe they can keep fighting like this! "

Now that the Japanese infantry has rushed to the front of the position, their own artillery has no way to provide artillery support, so Ren Yixiong can only see it in his eyes and be anxious in his heart!

Naturally, Yang Fan would not sit idly by, and immediately ordered: "Liu Qiang immediately inform the flight team to implement the first plan for air fire support, and first suppress the arrogance of these devils!"

"Good! Brothers have been waiting for the teacher's words for a long time!"

Liu Qiang yelled extremely excitedly, then picked up the walkie-talkie and began to yell: "Attention all the flight brigade, the commander has ordered to implement the first set of plans immediately, and carry out the front-line operations of Zhoujiazhuang Village, Tanjiazhuang Village, and Xiaohui Village. Air support!

I repeat: Attention all flight groups, . . . "

"Haha, I can finally work! Brothers, get on the plane! Hurry up!"

"It's great! You must have a good time today!"

After receiving the order, the pilots of each crew quickly boarded the plane, and each helicopter was followed by more than a dozen fully armed special operations officers and soldiers.

In less than 10 minutes, eleven helicopters flew out of Jiaozhou County and rushed over the frontline battlefield.

"Chucky!"

"Da da da!"

"Boom boom boom!"

As soon as they entered the battlefield, the tearing machine guns, AK47 assault rifles, and bazooka anti-tank rocket launchers on the eleven helicopters spewed out flames, and countless metal storms fell from the sky.

The devils who were charging fell down in pieces, and the Japanese tanks shelling near the forward positions were called out one by one, and the firepower points and mortar positions built by the little devils were also attacked one after another.

Although the output firepower of the eleven helicopters does not have a powerful effect on the entire battlefield against the wind, it can output firepower from the sky and can flexibly move through the battlefield at will. The visual impact and psychological impact on both the enemy and the enemy are huge!

"Look, brothers, our flying brigade is here for fire support!"

"Haha, this little devil has suffered a lot!"

"Kill! Kill these bastards!"

Seeing that the helicopter brigade quickly cleared the Japanese firepower points and tanks with a destructive momentum, and suppressed the Japanese infantry offensive at once, the Chinese officers and soldiers instantly burst out their heads and opened fire on the devils. !

"Baga! How could the Huaxia Army have such a strange plane?"

"What the hell is this? Can it hover in mid-air?"

"Baga! Shoot down these damn planes!"

The devils were terrified. The condescending firepower output of eleven helicopters was a one-sided massacre. Many devil soldiers who rushed to the forefront were beaten up before they could figure out what was going on. Hornet's nest!

And some ghost soldiers who reacted fiercely fired at the helicopter in mid-air with red eyes and raised their guns!

Clinking, bullets rained down, and the four helicopters that rushed too far were caught in a hail of bullets in an instant. The fuselage was shot with countless bullet holes, and several officers and soldiers were even shot and fell to the ground!

Fortunately, these are just bullets, not anti-aircraft missiles and artillery shells, otherwise the four helicopters would have exploded on the spot!

These guys jumped on the spur of the moment, not only flying to the bottom, but also rushing too far forward.

"Keep a distance, don't get too close! Hurry up and withdraw!"

"Quickly pull up! Retreat!"

Several pilots were sweating profusely, pulled the joystick and retreated quickly, pulled out a safe distance, and narrowly escaped disaster!

"A bunch of bloody bastards, let me die!"

With red eyes, Zhou Chuan put aside his comrade who was lying on the heavy machine gun, then turned the gun and pressed the switch to vent his anger towards the devil.

Chi Chi Chi, the Death Harvester spewed out long tongues of flame again, and the range of more than 1000 meters in mid-air was extended to more than 2000 meters. Although the accuracy dropped a lot, the advantage was the large amount of firepower, and the lethality was amazing!

"Great God Amaterasu, what is going on? How could the Chinese army have such a strange plane?"

"Ah, that's not good! The Huaxia army has mysterious weapons, and the imperial army suffered heavy casualties. Even the chariots were destroyed by a dozen or so vehicles one after another! My God, God Amaterasu, what's going on?..."

Yamano Yuko couldn't help but screamed, her voice was extremely shrill, as if seeing a ghost in broad daylight, her eyes lost focus and she kept thinking loudly, completely forgetting that it was live broadcasting at this moment!

This Japanese girl was immediately frightened and stupid!

"Baga! Where did the Chinese army get so many helicopters? Immediately send power to the navy fleet and ask them for air fire support! Order the troops to retreat immediately!"

At this time, Major General Toshiji Miura, head of the 5st Brigade of the 21th Division of the Japanese Army, was watching the battle on a slope with NHK field reporters!

Seeing that his subordinates are about to gain something after a hard and bloody battle, Minji Miura is triumphantly boasting to the Emperor of Japan and the soldiers and civilians through the radio station, but unexpectedly the situation on the battlefield changes suddenly!

Minji Miura couldn't figure out where the more than a dozen Huaxia helicopters came from, not only suppressing the Japanese offensive in an instant, but also suppressing the output of fire while hovering in mid-air.

"Nani? What's the situation?"

Japanese Emperor Hirohito, who was continuing to listen to the NHK Voice of the Battlefield program, suddenly felt that he was not well!

Although he couldn't see the situation at the scene, Hirohito knew that something extremely unfavorable must have happened from the voices and content of the two people's completely out of control Yamano Yuko and Miura Toshiji.

Minister of War Sugiyama Moto said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this must be some new weapon!

According to the analysis of the intelligence department, Huaxia Gaomi County has an extremely complete and mysterious military manufacturing enterprise, and many of their weapons can be produced by themselves!

The assault rifles, bulletproof military uniforms, night vision binoculars and other weapons we seized before are at the top level in the whole world!

Especially the automatic assault rifles and anti-tank rocket launchers they are using now, even our Western ally Germany, these technologies are in the research and development stage! "

"Baga! Road! The more this is the case, the more we can't let this force continue to grow and grow. We must kill them in the bud!"

Hirohito stared angrily, and turned to look at Sugiyama Yuandao: "Has the advanced weapons and equipment we seized been researched and cracked? How can the military technology of our Great Japanese Empire surpass the small Chinese local troops?"

Chapter 264

"Hay!"

Sugiyama Moto nodded heavily, and then continued: "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, our military enterprises are stepping up imitation production, and we must have a breakthrough soon!"

"Yo Xi!"

Hirohito nodded and said: "Germany is indeed better than our Great Japanese Empire in terms of military equipment and military technology, we must send more outstanding soldiers to Germany to study and exchange!

Send a batch of samples and materials to the German allies as soon as possible, presumably they will be more interested!With their technological level and production technology, they should be able to crack it soon! "

Now Japan and Germany have not signed the "Germany, Italy and Japan Triple Alliance Treaty", so a military group with the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo axis as the core has not been formally formed!

However, on November 1936, 11, Germany and Japan signed the "Anti-Comintern Pact." One year later, Italy joined this agreement, mainly pointing to the communist former Soviet Union. At this time, the German-Italian-Japanese axis had initially formed.

"Hai! His Majesty the Emperor!"

Chief of the Army Chief of Staff Gong Zairen, Chief of the Navy Commander Fushimi Gong Hiroshi and other important officials nodded in agreement!

"Hey, what happened just now? Made that Japanese bitch cry?"
