Chapter 111: 88 anti-aircraft guns vs 37 anti-aircraft guns
Four-shot tungsten heart armor-piercing bombs dragged their tail flames and flew towards two m3a1 half-track combat vehicles about a thousand meters away. Since this war defense cannon was made in Germany, the Japanese artillery had no time to experiment with the effective range and armor-piercing ability of this cannon.
In fact, the tungsten-core armor-piercing projectile fired by this German 37mm war defense can penetrate 48 mm tanks or combat vehicles without inclined armor and reactive armor within 500 meters.
Although the armor of the American m3a1 half-track armored combat vehicle is not as thick as 48 mm, the armor-piercing shells fired by the 37mm war defense gun have little impact on it at a distance of one thousand meters.
Although the Japanese artillery's artillery has a high combat quality, the distance of one thousand meters and they have not used this German war defense cannon before, so two of the four-shot tungsten heart armored bombs fell into vacancies. Although the other two hit the same m3a1 half-track armored combat vehicle, they failed to destroy it.
The body of the six-ton car just shook lightly, and the armored soldiers inside were shaken to pieces.
"Damn! It's a war defense cannon!" After being attacked, the armored soldiers immediately swear in the walkie-talkie. The only one who can hit their chariots so accurately is the war defense cannon. Howitzers cannot be shot so accurately, and they will not be shot directly.
These armored soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment have learned about them, and the artillery companies directly under the jurisdiction of each battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment are also equipped with war defense artillery, so the armored soldiers can guess what artillery was attacking them from the sound of artillery and ballistics.
Fortunately, this time the m3a1 wheeled armored vehicle was not the original reconnaissance company's first attack. The armor of the wheeled armored vehicle is much thinner than that of the half-tracked ones. If it is hit by an armor-piercing projectile, the consequences will be difficult to measure.
After Zhang Xudong learned about the situation through the walkie-talkie, he immediately ordered eight 88mm anti-aircraft guns to search for the targets and kill them.
After receiving the order, the anti-aircraft gunners quickly began to establish artillery positions in the rear under the cover of armored soldiers. The lookouts began to raise their telescopes to search for the location of the Japanese war defense artillery.
Just at this moment, the Japanese artillery, who were angry because the first shelling did not destroy the Chinese tanks, began to bombard the enemy again.
However, the result is the same as before. Although the Japanese bombardment was significantly improved compared to the last time, due to the distance too far, there was still no m3a1 half-track armored combat vehicle that could penetrate the armored company.
Akizawa Koizumi, who was not sure, was so angry that he suddenly became furious when he saw this. He waved his command knife and slashed on the steel cannon barrel of the war defense cannon beside him. Akizawa Koizumi's arm was numb and he scolded in anger: "Bagaya Road, these German guys have a lot of conscience, and the cannons they made are far less equipped than our Japanese Empire!"
"Captain, is it too far away?" A Japanese main gunner said in certainty.
"What does it mean?" Koizumi Akizawa was not a professional artilleryman, but was transferred to the popular position of the artillery brigade with his military merits. In addition, he was already swept away by anger and lost his previous calmness. He said without hesitation: "This distance is up to more than a thousand meters, and our mortars from the Great Japanese Empire can be fired. These bulky German artillery have obviously hit the Chinese chariots, but they cannot be destroyed. This is enough to show that the German artillery is not as good as the artillery of our Great Japanese Empire!"
"Captain, the artillery of the Great Japanese Empire is the best in the world, so it is naturally the best! But Huzhi believes that our mortars fire grenades, and the ballistics are arc-shaped, while this German war defense artillery ballistic is direct. I think that although the distance of one thousand meters does not exceed the range, its power is no longer enough to destroy the heavily armored Chinese chariot." The main gunner of the Japanese was a professional artillery, so the analysis is still correct after all.
"What do you mean?" Koizumi Akizawa asked in confusion.
"Push the war defense artillery forward hundreds of meters and try to shoot!" The main gunner of the Japanese immediately expressed his thoughts.
"Yoxi!" Although Koizumi Akizawa was angry, he was not stupid. He nodded happily and ordered: "Push forward immediately."
"Hayi!" More than a dozen Japanese artillery soldiers bowed their heads at the same time, and then began to move forward one after another, pushing the war defense artillery forward slowly.
However, Koizumi Akizawa and the others didn't know that just as they were talking, anti-aircraft gun watchmen about a thousand meters away had already discovered them.
And quickly calibrated the shooting elements and locked them.
On the anti-aircraft gun position of the armored company, eight anti-aircraft guns were arranged in two rows in front and back on both sides of the highway. The black holes turned one after another, aiming at the Japanese war defense guns moving thousands of meters away.
"One of the things is ready..."
"The second door is ready..."|
"Eight gates are ready..." As anti-aircraft gunners loaded the shells one by one, the main gunners of each gun began to report one by one.
"Fire the cannon! Fire the cannon! Bang him up!" With Zhang Xudong's order, the eight anti-aircraft cannons immediately began to roar.
"Bangbang..." The anti-aircraft gun's firing rate was very fast, and a series of muffled sounds suddenly rang out.
The dense anti-aircraft shells roared towards the Japanese army like locusts in the sky. They were commanding the artillery to move the war defense artillery forward, Major Akizawa, was shocked when he saw this.
"Baga..." Before Koizumi's roar could be finished, he was hit by the rapid anti-aircraft shells. With a loud bang, the whole person was blown away and his flesh was blown away. The command knife in his hand was even abandoned, and the broken arm fell more than ten meters away.
"Ahhhh..." More than a dozen other Japanese artillery soldiers were not spared, and were hit by dense anti-aircraft shells, and howls sounded one after another with explosions.
Because the 88mm anti-aircraft gun fired extremely fast, the Japanese artillery soldiers had no time to dodge and were hit one after another. Their bodies were torn into pieces by the powerful explosion waves, and they were thrown to a high altitude along with the flames.
Four 37mm war defense cannons were not spared. Under the powerful firepower of the anti-aircraft cannons of the Tiger Ben regiment, the air pressure rubber wheel of the war defense cannon was exploded, and the protective armor of the gun body was pierced through countless holes. After losing the tire, the war defense cannon weighing nearly 400 kilograms collapsed to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the anti-aircraft gunners moved their muzzles and aimed at the Japanese infantry who were fighting to fight their own armored chariots. The extremely powerful anti-aircraft gunnery rain quickly poured into the Japanese infantry crowd.
Wherever the scarlet bomb rain went, the Japanese soldiers wailed and screamed and fell one after another.
With the addition of eight anti-aircraft cannons, the Japanese's resistance became even more vulnerable. At this moment, Deputy Regiment Commander Qiao Anguo also led the soldiers of the 1, 2, and 3 infantry battalions to arrive.
Without making any pause, Qiao Anguo immediately ordered all battalions to join the battle. After receiving reinforcements from infantry, the armored company also increased its assault efforts. Under the cover of the infantry, all anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns were fully launched and fired towards the Japanese positions.
In front of the powerful assault firepower composed of nearly 200 anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns, even the Japanese infantry brainwashed by the Bushido spirit turned around and retreated in a hurry.
"Run! Kill!" Thousands of Tiger Ben warriors shouted in unison, followed the armored company to attack the Japanese, launching a full-scale attack on the Japanese.
At this point, the battle was no longer suspense. About an hour later, the second battalion commander Cao Er led his own guard platoon to surround Shiro Kawatani who was trying to escape.
In the encirclement, Shiro Kawatani held the command knife tightly in both hands, and looked at the Chinese soldiers who were as good as wolves and tigers around him with a look of vigilance.
It turned out that when he found that the defeat could not be stopped, Shiro Kawatani wanted to retreat in an armored car, but unfortunately, before he could get on the car, the armored car was destroyed by sudden fierce artillery fire.
He was as fat as a pig and ran on foot, no different from a turtle. He was soon caught up with the soldiers and surrounded by Cao Er and his guard platoon.
"Second Battalion Commander, why haven't you taken action? What are you with the Japanese devils?" The first battalion commander Kong Xiangjie rushed to the scene with a team of guards, and could not help but urged him when he saw this.
"Old Kong, look at this old Japanese devil is a big fish!" Cao Er pointed to Shiro Kawatani in the encirclement like he looked at his prey.
Kong Xiangjie turned his head and saw the star on Kawatani Shiro's shoulder and immediately said, "Damn it, it's a major general, it's really a big fucking fish! No, the second battalion commander, we'll divide it evenly this time!"
"What? Divide equally?" Cao Er immediately shook his head and waved at the rattle: "No, no, this is a prisoner of war from my second battalion."
"Second Battalion Commander, our battalion will have a lot of contributions to defeating the Japanese this time, right? If not, we must divide it equally!" Kong Xiangjie protested dissatisfiedly.
"No distinction!"
"Split equally!"
"Then the rock-scissors!"
After several arguments, the two of them actually played rock-scissors as if no one was around. The soldiers present burst into laughter when they saw this.
When Shiro Kawatani met the two Chinese officers who did not take him seriously at all, he was so angry that he was so angry that he roared and rushed towards Kong Xiangjie and Cao Er with his command knife.
The two people who were playing rock-scissors raised the Thomson submachine gun in their hands almost at the same time, and pulled the trigger without looking at it: "Dadada...Dadada..." The two Chicago typewriters burst out with a burst of intense gunfire, and the dense rain of bullets immediately knocked Shiro Kawatani into a hornet's nest.
"Damn, Lao Kong, why did you beat him to death?"
"There is an order for the regiment to not have prisoners of war!"
"Split equally?!"|
"No distinction!?"
While the two were arguing, Qiao Anbang, deputy commander Qiao Anguo, and a group of guards from the guard company, stalked over.
"What are you quarreling?" Qiao Anbang asked loudly when he saw the two of them arguing endlessly.
"Clutch seat!" The two of them turned around quickly and stood attentively and saluted.
"Yes!" Qiao Anbang nodded, looked at the bodies behind the two of them, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Reporting the regiment seat, our second battalion killed a major general in the Japanese army!" Cao Er replied first.
"Reporting the ranks of the regiment, we will have a share in our battalion when we kill the Major General of the Japanese!" Kong Xiangjie took a step forward and answered unswervingly.
"Old Kong, you are not kind. This Japanese Major General was surrounded by my Second Battalion. Your first battalion was just passing by. Do you understand if you pass by?" Cao Er was dissatisfied and protested loudly.
"Brothers, I was watching just now. I'm the old Confucius, the major general of the Japanese to death, and I'm also a part of my career." Kong Xiangjie said, turning his head to everyone and asked, "Brothers, are you right?"
The officers and soldiers of the first battalion present responded in unison. Qiao Anbang immediately waved his hand to stop the soldiers and said impatiently: "Why are there so many troubles? I will give you all the first and second battalions a merit. When we return to our hometown, we will reward you all!"
As soon as Qiao Anbang finished speaking, the officers and soldiers present raised their guns and cheered. Qiao Anbang did not pay attention to the cheers of the officers and soldiers, but turned to Qiao Anguo Highway: "Brother, stay and command the troops to clean the battlefield. I will go to the communication company first. It is time to report to Chairman Jiang that we have continuously annihilated the Japanese Marine Corps and Kawatani Brigade and our upcoming march to Shanghai."
"Yes!" Qiao Anguo wanted to say something, but he paused, but finally he didn't say it. Finally, he nodded silently.
"Brother, what do you want to say?" Qiao Anbang asked immediately when he saw Qiao Anguo want to speak.
Qiao Anguo stepped forward and pulled Qiao Anbang to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Anbang, we only have 6,000 troops now. Although we have sufficient ammunition, are you really sure to restore Shanghai? You must know that Chairman Jiang mobilized 100,000 central direct army and failed to wipe out the Japanese army huddled in Shanghai in advance. Shanghai has a naval fleet of Japanese soldiers. Their naval artillery fire is enough to cover half of the Shanghai beach. Can we do it?"
"Brother, don't worry. We marched to Shanghai just to mobilize the major field divisions of the Japanese, and at the same time, we can greatly encourage the morale and morale of the anti-Japanese military and civilians. As long as we achieve the strategic goal of mobilizing the enemy, it is enough. And what about elite troops like the Japanese Marine Corps? Under the attack of my Tiger Corps, the entire army was wiped out in an instant!" Qiao Anbang patted Qiao Anguo's shoulder and said confidently: "Brother, why do you say something? Brothers are united and the gold is broken. Our father and the elders of our hometown are all moving to the rear to watch. Not to mention anything else, we must at least kill the Japanese corpses everywhere, to promote the power of our Chinese soldiers and let the world's powers take a good look. This is the Chinese army, and let the Japanese know that we Chinese are definitely not the sick husbands of East Asia!"
"Well! Brothers work together to cut off gold!" Qiao Anguo nodded heavily when he heard this.

Wuhan, leader.
Now General He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs of the National Government, and Bai Chongxi, the current Deputy Chief of General Staff of the National Military Commission, walked into Chairman Jiang's reception room together.
"Committee!" As soon as the two entered the door, they quickly stood up and saluted at the same time.
"Oh, Jingzhi, Jiansheng, you are here, come in and sit in." Chairman Jiang quickly got up and waved to show off when he heard this.
After the three of them sat down, Chairman Jiang handed the message on the conference table with a serious expression to the two of them, saying, "This is a secret message sent by Qiao Anbang, the colonel of the Hu Ben regiment, from Suzhou not long ago. You can take a look."
He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi carefully read the telegrams after hearing this. After reading them, they looked different.
"How is it? What do you two think?" After the two of them finished reading it, Chairman Jiang immediately asked.
"Commissioner." He Yingqin took the lead and said, "I believe that the Japanese army may turn around and attack back to Nanjing at any time. Now that they have stopped the attack and the war has stopped, we should immediately withdraw the troops to Jiangbei. If we follow Qiao Anbang's advice to evacuate the people of the city, the front-line troops must hold on for at least half a month or even longer. Then once the Japanese army turns around and attack Nanjing, we will miss the best time to retreat, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Yes." Chairman Jiang nodded, turned his head and looked at Bai Chongxi and asked, "Jiansheng, what do you think?"
