Age of Rebirth

The defense battle of Nanning was fought fiercely. On the first day, the defenders in the outskirts of the Gui army lost 40.00% of their strength. They replenished overnight, but the original number was restored. But today, the Japanese army’s attack sent out a chariot regiment However, for the Gui army, which has no anti-tank weapons at all, Japan's "Izu" series of light tanks is definitely a deadly threat.

This kind of tank, which is not counted in the European army and is not eye-catching at all, is called "thin-skinned iron coffin". In the Chinese battlefield, it can show off its might and be invincible. The bully is that the squadron has no anti-tank weapons. Bai Chongxi An artillery regiment had to be used, and the soldiers of the Gui army smashed the tanks with their flesh and blood to repel the Japanese army's first attack. The Japanese artillery bombardment and the tank charge caused the Gui army to lose more than 20.00% of its strength.

The Gui Army had just breathed a sigh of relief when the roar of planes came from the sky again. General Bai Chongxi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Nanning City Defense of the Gui Army, was in a state of dismay. It's hard to say whether Nanning's outer positions can be kept.

Japan’s Southern Expeditionary Army Aviation Unit, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Toshiichi, sent two fighter brigades and three bomber brigades to Honma Masahiro, with more than 80 aircraft used in the Nanning battlefield. Being able to win the Battle of Nanning can be described as full support.

At this time, Masahiro Honma was not in a good mood. According to his plan, today should be the day to capture Nanning. He dispatched a chariot regiment and three divisions to participate in the attack. No matter what, it is impossible to resist such a fierce offensive. Your Excellency Commander plans to eat lunch in Nanning City today. [

The reality shattered his dream. Without anti-tank weapons, Chinese soldiers actually caused the tank wing to lose more than 30.00% of the tanks. Especially the sudden shelling caused the infantry units accompanying the tanks to attack. A heavy loss, and the coordinated attack by Bu Tan in one go turned into a retreat by Nai, and his good mood of winning was gone.

Masaharu Honma's stern eyes stared at Major General Hikogoro Ono, head of the Third Army Intelligence Headquarters, "Mr. Ono, can you tell me where the artillery of the Guangxi Army came from?" Masaharu Honma's tone of voice It's not high, but the chill in his tone made the senior officers around him tremble. Poor Minister Ono, sweating profusely, was right. He didn't know where the damn Guangxi Army artillery came from. from.

Fighting all day yesterday, the Guangxi Army did not fire a single cannon. Neither the Commander nor he himself believed that the Guangxi Army, as a local warlord in Guangxi, would have established artillery to participate in the battle. In the information about the Guangxi Army, the artillery power is negligible, but today it suddenly appeared, and it returned to the commander's plan, causing huge damage

If it was an ordinary attack, such a loss would be within the expected range, but at the meeting in the morning, Your Excellency the Commander announced that at noon today, all the officers above the regiment captain will be entertained in Nanning City, which is a matter of His Excellency the Commander The problem is that a normal but slightly unexpected attack failure is enough to cause Ono to bear terrible consequences. Moreover, what makes Ono Hikogoro most frustrated is that only one regiment of Chinese artillery is not enough to change the result of this attack.

But the commander, who is in a rage, will listen to his own defense?Seeing Hikogoro Ono's faltering, Masaharu Honma's anger exploded uncontrollably. Just as he was about to announce the punishment for this guy, the communications staff came in and said, "Report to Your Excellency, Commander, send the fighter planes of the Air Force of the Army Headquarters to , Arriving in the skies over the Nanning battlefield, the air commander, Masa-sama Nishimura, requested to speak to His Excellency the Commander."

When the plane arrived, Masaharu Honma immediately forgot about the unfortunate Minister Ono, and hurried to the radio station, "I am Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma, commander of the Nanning Campaign, please speak." To a small general, originally he would not say a word, the rank is there, not qualified, the lieutenant general has more than 20 troops, the general can grasp it, but the aviation army is a special one in the Japanese army. The presence.

These winged guys are very arrogant, and they are directly under the command of His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Toshiichi. Masaharu Honma showed a rare polite attitude, "Report to Commander-in-Chief, dispatch the military air fleet to the sky over the battle zone , please send a special person to instruct the bombing target. After the bombing, the general's subordinates can clean up the battlefield." Masa Nishimura did not talk too much nonsense, and in his tone, he lacked due awe and was extremely arrogant. More than 20 troops , not as good as his dozens of planes. I have seen such a crazy one.

This made Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma very unhappy, and his self-esteem was hurt a little bit. If one of his subordinates spoke to him like this, his head would definitely move, but Xiao Ye is in the sky. Burning, I will not go to the sky to slap this arrogant guy, but I will go to the Hainan Island Air Force Base and chop off his stinky head, and I will not complain to Commander-in-Chief Shouyi in the temple. A lieutenant general and What is the strength of a big assistant? In the end, he lost his identity and face, so he could only bear it.

Masaharu Honma could only resist the urge to yell, handed over this task to his subordinates, and returned to the war room angrily. Squeezing out the word "scroll", he didn't have time to deal with this guy who lost his face. When the plane came, he had to quickly organize an air-ground coordinated operation to break through the outer defensive positions of the Gui Army in Nanning and occupy Nanning City.

A few minutes later, an unprecedentedly violent attack began. On the ground, the Japanese artillery fire was overwhelming, pouring the artillery like crazy, and the Japanese tanks roared out, so as to follow a bunch of infantry. In the sky, more than 80 Japanese aircraft, They took turns to shoot and bomb, and threw heavy air bombs on the heads of the soldiers of the Gui army.

The ground was turned upside down. On the ground of the Gui army, the flames were soaring into the sky, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the screams of the guns and explosions stimulated the soldiers of the Gui army to stand up. The soldiers of the Gui army could only lie in the trenches alone, feeling the trembling of the earth, and accepting the baptism of death of steel and flames by fate.

In the city of Nanning, Japanese bombers dropped heavy bombs regardless of the target. Houses and houses were reduced to ruins in the sound of explosions. They have all withdrawn to the northeast of Guangxi and escaped the catastrophe. Otherwise, the casualties of the residents alone would be an astonishing number.

In the underground headquarters of the Nanning City Defense Command, Bai Chongxi sat on a chair like a clay sculpture and wood sculpture, his face was pale, and the shock waves of the air bombs shook the dust from the top of the basement from time to time, covering the battle map on the table , the staff and staff around him didn't dare to show their atmosphere, and they all felt that the end was coming.

On the second day, the Japanese army deployed tanks and planes. The Guangxi army had invested nearly 9 troops on the outer defense line of Nanning, which was half of the troops participating in the defense of Nanning. However, under such a fierce Japanese attack In front of you, can you stand it?No one had any idea, including Bai Chongxi, it wasn't that the soldiers of the Gui army were not desperate. In the face of the absolutely inferior firepower, the bravery of the soldiers could only slightly slow down the Japanese attack, but the death was huge.

The wired telephone lines leading to the front line are all cut off, which means that the combat units below the regiment level, the situation is unknown, the radio station contacted, and the reports of the division commanders and army commanders are the same. The little devil went crazy and sent out to contact None of the people came back, and I am afraid they disappeared under the bombing and artillery fire of the Japanese.

After a long time, Bai Chongxi said in a dry voice: "Get ready, once the Japanese bombing and shelling start, the city defenders in Nanning will immediately enter their positions and fight the Japanese in the street." It seemed to come from another space, erratic and full of regret and loss. The order was issued, which meant that all the outer positions in Nanning were lost, and more than 9 defenders were wiped out.

Nishimura Shota, the commander of the Japanese air fleet, was driving a "Zero" fighter jet and patrolled the battlefield with satisfaction. Such an easy bombing mission exceeded Nishimura's expectations. The Chinese army even had an antiaircraft gun and antiaircraft machine gun for air defense. None, the imperial pilots are like walking in the air. Nishimura saw with his own eyes that a fighter pilot actually strafed the Chinese soldiers in the trenches at a height above the treetops. Although this action was extremely dangerous and violated the operating procedures, Nishimura No intention of punishing this daring pilot, the Imperial Sky Warrior, required such courage.

At 1000:[-] in the morning, the arrival of the aviation fleet of the Independent Division put an end to Nishimura's good mood. After receiving the order from the division commander Tang Qiuli, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang carefully analyzed the order. Said that the flight distance from Wuhan Airport to Nanning is more than [-] kilometers, which is much farther than the Japanese Air Force Airport on Hainan Island.

Counting the air combat time, the fuel consumption of the aircraft is not a small number. In view of the fact that the Japanese army has armored forces, the two decided to take out four squadrons of German Stuka bombers. These are veritable tank killers. , once and for all to solve the tank troops of the devils, they are more than happy to do it. [

The remaining two bomber squadrons carry aviation bombs, half of which are ordinary bombs, and the other half is the "Buddha Light" napalm, the big killer of the air force bombers. The devil had a taste of the sea of ​​fire.

Reborn in the last years of Shunzhi, all the evildoers are too arrogant. The new earth war fairy match Jinxi does not know what Xixi is the leader. Determined to pass on the national beauty and youthful rebirth aria
