Chapter 324: Did the Japanese escape like this?

Ten seconds later, everything returned to a moment of tranquility, and then a large number of Japanese soldiers cried and fled in scattered with flames and residual blood on their bodies. The Japanese army completely collapsed.

"Attack!" Zhang Lingfu shouted. With the first shock, everyone was prepared. When the tiger roar of the rocket that had crossed the head stopped, the vanguard army took the initiative to attack. More than 30 BT-7 tanks rushed out first. The above were filled with soldiers who were heading.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese did not react and rushed to the Japanese as fast as possible, and a shot was the summoning of victory.

But at this time, the Japanese could no longer expect the Japanese to organize an attack. The Japanese's main force was also a group of hot-blooded recruits. After being ruthlessly poured ice water by the Blizzard rocket launcher, they collapsed suddenly. No matter how the officers shouted and scolded them, they did not work. Everyone just wanted to leave that hell-like place and not be overwhelmed by the flames whistling from the sky.

The boundless sea of ​​fire brings people only helplessness and helplessness. The feeling of powerlessness that makes people look particularly small makes people desperate.

"It's snowing!" Zhang Lingfu did not rush forward this time, and his heart was still in the shock just now. He raised his head and watched the white snowflakes fall one by one. Each snowflake fell like a piece of memory around him. From his study, going to Huangpu, receiving guidance from the principal, to later killing his wife to jail, pardoning and killing Japanese invaders, to entering the Pioneer Army, all kinds of scenes flashed through his mind as the snowflakes fell. Finally, the familiar person came to negotiate with him to lead the team to the center. The man's smile was so familiar, and it seemed very far away. The contradictory feeling made him feel like the flames that were just looking at the distance, and it was about to explode.

A snowflake fell on his forehead, and the cold feeling made him suddenly wake up.

"Defend China and swear to kill the Japanese pirates!" A soldier ran by not far away from him shouting the slogan he taught himself.

"Huaxia?" Zhang Lingfu murmured to himself. Looking at the snowflakes falling in the palm of his hand, he suddenly clenched his fists. The snowflakes quickly melted. Zhang Lingfu looked at the vanguard soldiers who were constantly advancing towards the direction of the Japanese escape in the distance. He couldn't help but firmly determined his choice, his body was lit up, and he shouted: "Defend China and kill the Japanese pirates!"

In his heart, the shadow of China is getting bigger and bigger, and the loyalty to someone that he used to recite has gradually faded.

"God, this thief, it was fine just now, why did it suddenly snow?" Hu Minghe wiped a snowflake on his eyebrows, and the armored vehicles under him were constantly rushing forward, but there was no roof, allowing the snowflakes to flow in with the whistling wind in his ears.

"We have asked about the weather in Zhuhong Temple. It doesn't snow much early!" Yang Bo, the staff officer of the brigade department who was accompanying him, was recommended by his old friend Li Tiexia. This time, the 50th Division took on the defensive errand, which made Li Tiexia continue to be depressed, but he recommended Yang Bo to train.

Yang Bo looked at the sky and said, "The rapid convection of hot and cold air is prone to strange weather. The attack just now was so amazing!" He was also amazed in his heart. The attack just now was comparable to the bombardment of hundreds of heavy artillery guns. Such an attack intensity was not even seen abroad.

"This kind of artillery fire will gradually occupy part of the ordinary artillery! If there is such an attack on the ship, what will be the effect? ​​What about the sky?" He kept thinking.

"What?" Sora Tetsui sat back on his chair weakly. The four divisions were defeated in just over an hour. To be precise, they were defeated in two less than a minute strikes by the Pioneer Army. The fields were full of Japanese soldiers who fled like headless flies. The officers who could not hold them up could not count the casualty rate, but the original place had already accumulated over the ground with broken limbs and broken arms.

Shiroichi Tetani couldn't help but feel fear in his heart: "What kind of weapon is this that actually caused the brave imperial soldiers to flee, causing the four divisions to be defeated within an hour or two? If they were used in Tianjin or other places, how many divisions would the empire support?"

"Environment towards Zhengzhou! All retreat towards Zhengzhou!" Sugiyama Yuan shouted loudly, "When the vanguard army rushed over and prepare to implement the Yellow River plan!"

After yelling, he felt as if his whole body was drained away, and he sat down weakly.

"How did the Pioneer Army become so powerful? Those are four divisions!"

"Japans just ran away like this?" Meng Xiang was also surprised when he heard the news. Amid the cheers of the people in the command center, he shook his head slightly and said in surprise: "Not it? When did the Japanese become so fragile?"

Although there are only half of the 13th Division and the 16th Division, there are three divisions in total. Even if they are attacked by 200 rocket launchers, they will not be affected. Why did they collapse suddenly?

News from the front kept coming, and the Japanese really fled without caring about anything, and piles of things discarded on the road.

"Is this still the crazy Japanese army?" Meng Xiang couldn't figure it out.

In fact, he ignored that after several battles, most of the 10, 16, and 116 divisions were composed of new recruits. It was okay to say when it was going well, and the courage made the veterans ashamed. But if there was a headwind, they would follow the crowd and follow the crowd. Once the defeat was formed, in the panic of the new recruits of the Japanese, no one could control the escaped collective*. No matter how great the Japanese officers had great skills, they could not stop them immediately.

At this time, the vanguard army's rushing behind them made them unable to organize. The small resistance teams formed with dozens of people disappeared after being rushed by the tanks behind them. The Japanese defeated soldiers re-explained the scene of the defeat of the Central Army that year. Everyone was only concerned about escaping, but they fell one by one at the gun that the vanguard army caught up with.

In the sky, the vanguard's plane took advantage of the fire and after forcing the Japanese to retreat, it dived directly, and drove the machine guns over the Japanese's heads, like driving them to run further away.

This situation did not last long. After all, the Japanese officer system was sound and their usual training was strict. After a wave of fear and confusion at the beginning, facing the pursuit of the vanguard army, they gradually gathered and began to use the surrounding terrain to counterattack. Especially the blocking period in Shangqiu made the pursuit of the vanguard army stagnate for a while. The Japanese took the opportunity to gather the soldiers.

As long as there is a large-scale counterattack, it will gradually affect other people. The Japanese escaped without leaving their weapons. More and more soldiers joined the counterattack team and regrouped under the orders of officers at all levels.

Perhaps it was because there was no threat from rockets, or perhaps it was because of his escape just now, the calm Japanese resisted very crazy, and the meat bombs collapsed one by one, blocking the pursuit of the vanguard army for a while.

The tiger roar sounded again, and when the fire clouds appeared in the sky, the newly organized Japanese army immediately collapsed again. Although there were fewer people who had dispersed this time, under the leadership of these people, the Japanese army was forced to retreat again by the vanguard army that took the opportunity to rush forward. The 10th Division directly withdrew from Shangqiu, while the 116th Division and the 16th Division evacuated Lankao.

"It's better to have another round! If we don't need to fight, the Japanese will run away by themselves!" Wang Erxi stood on the broken city wall in Shangqiu, looking at the Japanese who were slowly integrating in the distance, and sighed.

But Katyusha rocket launcher fired this round and temporarily stopped. Just now, Katyusha rushed up with the speed of the carrier vehicle. After such a round of shooting, there was insufficient ammunition. At that time, when defending, the equipment was equipped to launch ten rounds of ammunition, which could be solved nearby, but after rushing out, the ammunition trucks were not supplied.

Although there are not many operators in a Katyusha, it requires more than a dozen people to serve the procedures of logistics transportation of ammunition and loading ammunition. Just now, some rocket launchers rushed out and only brought one round of ammunition. After launching, they had to turn around and rush back. Even if some rocket launchers still have ammunition, they did not have cluster launches, which could not show the deterrence of the rocket launcher.

When the Japanese were already a little numb by the three rocket attacks, Sugiyama's order came down.

Almost at the same time, Meng Xiang's order also came down. Hu Minghe's brigade stabilized his position and occupied the county town of the Longhai Railway, and stopped pursuing, stabilized the Longhai Line, and replaced Zhang Lingfu's brigade's defense line, while Zhang Lingfu's brigade crossed the Yellow River to attack Xinxiang directly.

Meng Xiang and others have discussed this plan long ago. If Beijing and Tianjin are in a stable position, they must consolidate the north of the Yellow River to protect the land of Beijing and Tianjin. Enter the Central Plains, a place of four battles, and at the same time, they must deal with the surrounding forces. This is obviously not in line with Meng Xiang's intention. Crossing the Yellow River, attacking Xinxiang, and attacking Hebei north will become a follow-up part of the No. 1 plan.

The engineering team that had been prepared long ago had already set up pontoon bridges near Lankao, Cao County. More than 200 civilian ships of all sizes and sizes from the canal and Weishan Lake were also dispatched together, from Dongming to Liangshan, and eight pontoon bridges were soon built on the Yellow River.

Zhang Lingfu's brigade crossed the river from Dongming to attack Xinxiang, the 74th Division crossed the river from Liangshan to attack Puyang, and Pang Bingxun's army directly attacked Handan from the assisted Liaocheng.

After the battle in Linyi, only about 3,000 people were left in Pang Bingxun's team, and they were filled with the vanguard army. Instead, the transformation was first completed. Old Pang was also very conscious of the current affairs. Meng Xiang did not squeeze out his seat, and he also cooperated to complete the transformation. It was impossible not to cooperate. Once he joined the vanguard army, the soldiers under his command were attracted by the vanguard army's policies. There were no soldiers under his command. What's the use of only dozens of iron-core people?

In front of these three teams were more than 200 tanks from the Second Tank Regiment of Charging. Especially in front of Pang Bingxun's team, more than 100 tanks crossed the river in advance and lurked in the Guanxian area. After receiving the signal of attack, they immediately attacked and attacked all the way, conquering Guantao and Feixiang, and heading straight to the city of Handan.

It turned out that the 116th Division, which was stationed in Xinxiang, was severely damaged. As the 16th Division retreated to Zhengzhou, Xinxiang was empty and only one brigade was defeated by Zhang Lingfu Brigade, who was crossing the river. The troops forced reinforcements from the 109th Division of the Japanese who came from Jiaozuo to rescue him.

At this time, Wei Lihuang's attack plan also started early at around 5 a.m., which attracted most of the Japanese troops. This was also the reason why Zhang Lingfu successfully conquered Xinxiang. Originally, it was supposed to be guarded by the 109th Division. Wei Lihuang's attack made the vanguard army get a bargain.

After the expansion of the 74th Division, especially after the implementation of the SAR's minimum living allowance policy, Li Hanzhang felt that he could no longer control his team. The policy of the Pioneer Army was most attractive to soldiers and middle and lower-level officers. The senior officers were not as good as before because of the extra money and money, relying so much on the little money alone. But the soldiers below were no longer in charge and there was no way. Fortunately, Meng Xiang did not reduce the vassal states a lot, and Li Hanzhang had no other ideas for the time being, and he still worked hard in the national war.

Their attack this time was to attack Puyang. Under the full attack of Li Yizhi Brigade, a large brigade defending Puyang was captured by the vanguard army after defending for a day. At this time, the other two brigades of the 74th Division had already attacked near Tangyin.

"How could they not attack Kaifeng and Zhengzhou?" Sugiyama Yuan furiously said.

Although the vanguard army stopped attacking, the four defeated divisions reunited and stabilized the remaining troops, a plan to turn defeat into victory also aborted. Also, because the 116th Division was defeated too quickly, the other teams that were receiving defense were beaten to an open barrier by the vanguard army and seized the land north of the Yellow River before they could arrive.

Stealing a chicken without losing the rice is exactly what it means to describe Sugiyama's depressed mood at this time.

"Emergency power!" Shi Er walked in quickly, and went to Meng Xiang and handed him an emergency power.

This kind of urgent telegram that has been hung with five red stars is the first time Meng Xiang has encountered since he determined to use the number of stars to process telegram information.

"Ah!" Meng Xiang was also shocked after reading it.

The emergency telegram was sent by the decryption group. After passing the decryption message, the decryption group decrypted a plan that the Japanese planned to implement.

Inspired by Chiang Kai-shek, Sugiyama Yuan also formulated a similar plan. Although it was early winter, the Yellow River had not frozen yet. Even if the water volume was small, if the embankment was blown up and the vanguard army was defeated, the army in Zhengzhou would be fine at all. As a reserve plan, the Japanese people who exploded the embankment were waiting there. It was Sugiyama Yuan who heard that the four divisions of the Japanese were defeated and sent out the seal, which was intercepted and declassified by the decryption team.

After reading it, Meng Xiang couldn't help but sweat. Fortunately, he was stubborn about the capture of the Central Plains at that time, and he would not be tempted by Jiang Jiang and several surrounding forces, so he chose to attack Hebei. Otherwise, he would chase the Japanese and fight to the death in an impulse and might fall into the trap of the Japanese.
