Chapter 597 Defending Nanjing (Thirty)
The sky has lost its light at this time. I don’t know if it is affected by the killing atmosphere in the world. There is a chilling atmosphere in the sky and the earth. The darkness covers the four fields at a speed visible to the human eye——

Qian Guangming stood on the turret of an armored vehicle, holding binoculars and watching the battlefield not far away. He saw the soldiers falling to the ground one after another, while the Japanese machine gunners pulled the triggers almost frantically. After recovering from the effects of the Japanese gas bombs, he pressed the microphone and shouted: "The target is directly ahead, fight!"

"Boom..." Almost at the same time, the engines of all the armored vehicles and tanks roared like beasts, and black smoke spread out one after another. In the choking smell of oily smoke, all the tanks accelerated together. To the battlefield that is close at hand.The turret was raised slowly under the control of the gunner, the anti-aircraft machine gun was pressed down, and the black muzzle pointed at the devils who turned their backs, and might spray out flames of revenge at any time.

As the chariot troops approached, smiles began to show on the faces of the officers and soldiers of the cadet army. Wang Changyun grinned grinningly, shot down a devil with one shot, and shouted fiercely with his hands: "Brothers, our chariot troops are coming up, kill them!" !"

The devils from the two brigades encircled the student army from left and right, plus the large army that crossed the bridge, if nothing happened, they would definitely be able to wipe out the student army. However, with the attack of those iron guys Join, all this becomes unknown.

Ushishima Sadao was the first to discover the armored unit of the Xuebing Army. He saw more than a hundred tanks lined up in a dense formation and rushed towards the position of the Japanese brigade on the right. In the dazzling flames, tanks had already started shooting. The old devil With his mouth wide open, he looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh: "The chariot of the Chinese people?"

The chief of staff, Koto Hui, stayed by his side. At this time, the gentleman was looking towards the armored troops with a telescope. When he heard the words of the division commander, the muscles on his face convulsed, and he said, "Yes, it's a student soldier." There are more than 100 vehicles in the army, God, could it be said that the gas bomb just now did not kill them?"

Ushijima Sadao had fought for a long time. Considering that he did not have enough armored troops and cadet army tanks to resist, he decisively ordered the troops to stop attacking, disperse and hide on the spot, and then ordered the heavy artillery unit to deploy on the spot Position, aimed at the chariot units of the cadet army and shelled them.

The tyranny of the armored units of the Xuebing Army has attracted enough attention from the Japanese army since the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. This is also the most fundamental reason why the Japanese army began to step up the development of heavy tanks.As far as Ushijima Sadao is concerned, the data collected by the Kwantung Army obviously still has a lot of errors. Take the chariot troops in front of us as an example. He said: "Those idiots in the military department thought that as long as they improved the armor of Quiro, they could fight against the chariots of the cadet army, but look, those muzzles are at least 70mm or more. Equipped with special shells, how thick is the armor needed to form effective protection—order the river-crossing troops to retreat, the Tiangu and Kunizaki detachments have been destroyed, and there is no need to pay too many sacrifices in this kind of battle where the power ratio is extremely asymmetric. "

"Hay!"

Because of the previous bombing, it is conceivable that the officers and soldiers of the tank brigade hated the little devil.It was as if a martial arts master was suddenly poisoned by the enemy. The Japanese army's low-handed methods made them completely angry.

Therefore, under the attack of their hundred guns, even though Ushishima Sadao gave the order to retreat in time, the two brigades of devils who crossed the river were still greatly killed.Of the more than 800 people, only more than [-] people left the battlefield safely.

This is because the main purpose of Qian Guangming and the others is only to save people. If they open their arms and kill, not to mention the two brigades, the entire 23rd Brigade and the troops directly under the 18th Division will probably be severely damaged. lose.

The two troops converged, and the Japanese army also began to retreat in the opposite direction. They didn't even dare to take away the remains and wounded of the Japanese army on the battlefield.

As soon as the Japanese army retreated, Wang Changyun, who was in a state of excitement, clamored to launch a counterattack: "Brigade Commander Qian, fight across the river, wipe out these devils, and avenge Commander Zhang!"

While ordering the troops to clean up the battlefield, Qian Guangming enforced battlefield discipline on the wounded Japanese soldiers, and rescued the wounded on his own side, he said: "The task we received was to take over your troops. Wait a minute, we have to rush to join the Thirteenth Brigade... ..."

"But I have lost so many brothers."

"Boom!" There was an explosion, and a heavy bomb fell about 50 meters away from them, and an armored vehicle closer to the explosion point was immediately overturned.

Qian Guangming frowned and said, "Look, the Japanese army has heavy artillery and a lot of tanks. Our army alone can't handle those devils. Commander Wang, I also want to avenge my brothers. But now our task is to bring you and the brothers of the [-]th Brigade back to the main force safely." Lowering his voice, he said: "You should know about the commander and Li Junchang, right? To avoid confusion, we cannot initiate It’s a big move. Let’s discuss everything when we get back to the headquarters.”

"Ball!" Wang Changyun was very unwilling. His regiment consisted of more than 1000 and 100 people, and now less than [-] people are alive. If the regulations are followed, the establishment of his regiment can already be revoked. How can this not make him angry?
Niu Yide came over, patted him on the shoulder, pulled him aside, and persuaded him, "Follow the order!"

Ouyang Yun had a somewhat absurd dream.

In this dreamland, the world he lived in turned out to be blue, with the blue sky, the blue ground, and everything in blue.In this world, he is still a soldier, the difference is that he is holding a big knife in his hand, while his subordinates are a group of warriors in armor, as for their enemies, they are a group of warriors in armor. A weirdo with a strange mask who can fly freely in the sky.One is in the sky, the other is on the ground, the difference in strength can be imagined.Although he, Ouyang Yun, and the soldiers were desperate, they couldn't attack the enemy, but they could only be passively attacked by the enemy. As a result, the number of soldiers around him became less and less, and finally, he was the only one left—" Why, I'm not willing!" He yelled, with blood and tears all over his face, beside him, the blood of the robes dyed the blue land red, so his world turned red—many flying Surrounded by strange men in the sky, they screamed strangely. Suddenly, the leading strange man took off his mask and revealed his true face. It turned out to be a Japanese face.

"Poor Chinese people, you can't beat us, no matter where you come from, no matter how hard you try, what is waiting for you will still fail in the end—" the leading weirdo said in Japanese, and then led all the weirdos in an arrogant big laugh it out……

But when he was unwilling to be manipulated by fate and stood up to resist, he suddenly heard a shout: "Commander is awake!" Seriously through a little light, several unfamiliar but familiar faces appeared in front of him, and he shook his head vigorously , thought hard, and finally remembered the names of these people: "Ding Yi, Shan Renxiong, Ye Zhao? Is it you?"

Shan Renxiong and the others all looked surprised, Ye Zhao let out a long breath and said, "Okay, the commander is finally fine."

At this moment, Ouyang Yun had already remembered what happened before and after, so he immediately sat up, grabbed the single man closest to him and asked, "How is Li Hanhun? What happened to the Thirteenth Brigade and the 604th Regiment?" "Then, he felt something strange on his body, looked down and almost fainted, and shouted: "Damn it, what the hell?"

His body was covered with shining silver steel needles. The densely packed steel needles made him look like a hedgehog. His terrifying appearance gave Ouyang Yun awe, which is not for outsiders.

These steel needles are naturally Ding Yi's masterpiece.Ding Yi's steel needle can not only torture the enemy to extract a confession, but also save people.

Ye Zhao said: "The military seat has not yet woken up. The 604th Brigade and the [-]th Regiment have all returned. However, Old Wang and his team suffered heavy casualties."

Ouyang Yun's complexion instantly became a little gloomy. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is Lao Li alright?"

Ding Yi replied: "It's not life-threatening."

Ouyang Yun looked at Ding Yi's face with the same expression, and said, "Old Ding, pull out the needle for me. Well, thank you."

Ding nodded, brushed his hands over his body, and then, miraculously, all the steel needles disappeared.

Ouyang Yun stood up, took the clothes from Liu Zheliang, put them on, and asked, "Where are we?"

Ye Zhao replied, "Yangzhou."

Ouyang Yun was taken aback: "Yangzhou? Then how many days have I been in a coma?"

"Three days."

"Three days? Damn, is there any troops over there at Pukou?"

"The Third Division and the Tenth Division have passed, Commander, here is an urgent telegram from the committee." After Ye Zhao finished speaking, he handed him a telegram.

This telegram asked the Xuebing Army to send a division to AH Wuhu.

Ouyang Yun was temporarily entangled in his mind, and some things in his memory surfaced, he asked: "Wuhu? Why did you let us go to Wuhu? Now, what happened to the war?"

The faces of all the people present were dimmed, and Ye Zhao said: "Commander, I'm afraid Nanjing will be lost. In the past few days, according to the statistics, the Central Army has lost six divisions, and the troops supported by the Sichuan Army have already lost six divisions. The Northeast Army is now in Nanjing. The 18th Division of the Japanese Army has occupied Zhenjiang and is currently marching upstream along the river embankment. Commander, it is estimated that the target of this department is Wuhu. Once Wuhu is occupied, we will retreat westward The road is blocked..."

"Where's Yangzhou? Are there any Japanese troops around us?"

"Yes, the 11th Division and the Yamada Detachment of the 13th Division."

"Then has our army had contact with these two Japanese troops now?"

"There was an exchange of fire among the reconnaissance troops. We originally planned to move towards Pukou in the early morning. There is no doubt that the target of the two Japanese troops is also Pukou. My idea is that instead of fighting the Japanese army in Yangzhou, it is better to integrate all forces and the Japanese army in Pukou. Start a decisive battle. Also, I don’t know which troops to send to Wuhu.”

"Tenth Division, call Zhang Meixin immediately, and the whole army will march towards Wuhu immediately. Tell him that no matter what method is used, Wuhu must be defended—well, at least a month."
