Chapter 165: A battle against the enemy

Tokuge Sawada and the cavalry brigade rushed forward less than a thousand meters. Suddenly, dozens of armored combat vehicles roared from both sides of the road and blocked the road in front of Tokuge Sawada and the Japanese cavalry.

Looking at the high heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the armored vehicle, Sawada Toku's heart skipped a beat, and he felt like he fell into an ice cave, and his despair was beyond words.

As the saying goes, if you are anxious, you will jump over the wall. What's more, a group of Japanese devils who have been brainwashed by the spirit of Bushido. In despair, Sawada Toku took a deep breath of air conditioning and slowly raised the general's sword in his hand. More than a thousand Japanese cavalry behind him pulled out the bright sabers and followed Sawada Tokuku to slowly lift the sabers.

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor" Tokuge Sawada took the lead and howled.

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire, Long live His Majesty the Emperor"

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire, Long live His Majesty the Emperor"

More than a thousand Japanese cavalrymen raised their swords and howled in unison, as if they were giving themselves courage.

"Kill Gaga" General Sawada Tokuge suddenly waved his sword forward and roared in a shrill manner.

"Crash, kill," more than a thousand Japanese cavalry howled and rode forward, raising their sharp and sharp sabres high and launched a suicide charge.

Dozens of armored vehicles from the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Third Armored Regiment blocked on the highway opened fire, hundreds of heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns roared at the same time, and dazzling flames crisscrossed to form a dense firepower net, tightly sealing the way forward of the Japanese cavalry.

"Tututu...dadada..." The Japanese cavalry who was charging hit the dense firepower net of the three regiments head-on. The dozens of cavalrymen who were leading the way were suddenly pierced by the powerful machine gun bullets and penetrated countless blood holes. The war horses burst into tears and burst into tears. The powerful inertia caused the Japanese cavalry on the horse to be thrown far away, but they were already dead before they landed.

After being hit by a head-on attack, the remaining Japanese cavalry subconsciously divided into two groups and ran towards the fields on both sides of the road. However, their speed was obviously not as fast as the speed of the machine gunners of the Third Armored Regiment turning the muzzle. The machine gunners with sufficient ammunition were not stingy with bullets, and they pulled the trigger and swept the machine guns all the way. Wherever the dense barrage went, the Japanese cavalry fell, and many people and horses were directly swept into pieces by the powerful anti-aircraft machine gun bullets. Blood splattered everywhere and screamed. The scene was extremely terrifying.

At the same time, hundreds of No. 4 tank groups of the 12th Tank Regiment of the Armored Brigade also chased after them under the leadership of the brigade commander Zhang Xudong. Seeing the fierce battle between the Third Regiment and the Japanese Cavalry, Zhang Xudong excitedly picked up the intercom and almost ordered with a roar: "All battalions and companies are paying attention to advance at full speed. Be sure to wipe out this group of Japanese cavalry, so that no one of them can escape the net~"

After receiving the order from Zhang Xudong, the armored soldiers who had been sharpening their swords for a long time were suddenly like wild horses that had been rid of their reins. Hundreds of tanks rumbling towards the Japanese cavalry in a rushing wave. The bodies of Japanese people and horses on the ground where the tanks passed were all crushed into powder, and some injured Japanese cavalrymen who fell to the ground were crushed into meat pie by the hard tracks of the No. 4 tank.

Soon, the group of tanks that rushed around rushed to the Japanese cavalry formation. Most of the cavalry were either swept away by the car-mounted machine guns of the Third Regiment, or were directly smashed and crushed by the huge No. 4 tank and its men and horses.

Originally the most powerful army in the era of cold weapons, it was vulnerable to modern mechanical forces and did not even have the chance to fight back.

Occasionally, a few cavalrymen rushed to the front of the tank by chance, but the sharp sabers in the past had no idea when facing the heavy armor of the No. 4 tank. If they cut down with one knife, they would have no use except that they would splash some sparks and make their hands and feet numb.

Before they could turn around and escape, the huge body of the No. 4 tank suddenly turned around. The Japanese cavalry, caught off guard, were knocked to the ground with their men and horses. The engine roared, and several cavalrymen were crushed under the tracks.

The unlucky Tokushiro Sawada was the highest military commander of this cavalry unit, and there were always dozens of cavalry guards around him to protect him, but this also made him the target of the officers and soldiers of the various battalions of the Armored Brigade rushing to chase him.

Several armored vehicles of the Third Regiment fired violently with machine guns while chasing quickly. They didn't care that their subordinates were shot and fell from the horse behind them from time to time. Tokuho Sawada was riding on the war horse and ran for desperately. Unexpectedly, the war horse suddenly fell into a paddy field. The paddy field was muddy and difficult to move. The war horse carried nearly 200 kilograms of Sawada Sawada's four hooves and their speed fell down.

He chased several armored vehicles by the edge of the paddy field and fired violently. A dense rain-like bullet instantly knocked Tokug Sawada and his men and horses into a hornet's nest.

Fengyang Gorge.

Accompanied by Liang Jiahan, Qiao Anbang came to the back of a bunker located halfway up the mountain, holding a telescope to observe the enemy situation. Suddenly, Qiao Anbang discovered that the Japanese who were originally deployed in a defensive posture at the foot of the mountain had begun to retreat quietly.

After pondering for a moment, Qiao Anbang immediately turned his head and said to Liang Jiahan: "Second Lieutenant Liang, immediately send someone to inform the first battalion commander, asking him to lead people to attack immediately, pursue the Japanese at the foot of the mountain, and capture their positions." Liang Jiahan's official position in the National Salvation Army was the second lieutenant lieutenant. Although he had been Qiao Anbang's attendant lieutenant for a while, the two had always been called public office.

Qiao Anbang was busy with war and had no time to further deepen his relationship with his beautiful servant, the adjutant, so it is most appropriate to call her Lieutenant Liang.

"Yes" Liang Jiahan stood up and stood attentively, then turned around and took the order and left.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the first guard battalion, led by the first battalion commander, launched a pursuit to the remnants of the 58th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army in front of him. Although Colonel Kuramori wanted to order his subordinates to turn around to fight, due to the orders of the division command, he could only lead his subordinates to flee in a hurry to Fengyang County.

After the first battalion fully captured the position of the former 58th Infantry Regiment at the foot of the mountain, Qiao Anbang ordered the pursuit to stop. After all, his main force had not arrived yet. No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the guard regiment was, it was impossible to rely on a battalion to restore Fengyang County. Moreover, Qiao Anbang knew very well that half of the main force of the 13th Division was stationed in Fengyang County.

There are tens of thousands of troops from the 114th and 9th Divisions around the 13th Division. Although the battle of Xuzhou has gone through time and the overall strength of the national army has also increased slightly, the Japanese army has dispatched more troops than before. The North China Front Army sent two main divisions of the Second Army, and the Central China Front Army sent 100,000 troops. The task of the 13th Division is to advance towards Xuzhou to restrain the Chinese army in the Huaihe River Basin area in the southern section of the Jinpu Line.

The 9th Division took the opportunity to conquer southern Anhui, central Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu regions. After completing the above combat tasks, the three major divisions should lead their troops north to Xuzhou, meet with the North China Front Army to complete its strategic goal of connecting the north and south battlefields.

However, with the addition of the National Salvation Army, the battle situation in Huainan instantly took a sharp turn for the worse. The two main corps of the 13th Division suffered heavy damage one after another and suffered great losses in strength. Even if Qiao Anbang's National Salvation Army withdraws from the battle, the 13th Division is unable to cross the Hebei River and attack.

Moreover, as the main forces of the National Salvation Army arrived one after another, the 13th Division, which had doubled its pressure, was likely to ask for help from its friendly forces, so it is not ruled out that the National Salvation Army would have to deal with nearly 100,000 troops of the three Japanese divisions alone.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is not to pursue the remnants of the Japanese army's retreat, but to consolidate the vested positions on the south bank and wait for the arrival of the three main divisions of the National Salvation Army, and then there will be a chance to formulate the next combat plan based on the battlefield situation.

Anyway, as long as the national rescue army defends the Huaihe River defense line, it will ensure that there is no danger in the southern section of Xuzhou. In this way, General Li Zongren can concentrate the main forces of the Fifth War Zone to fight against the two major Japanese troops in North China. If the Taierzhuang victory is not good, it is very likely that the victory in Xuzhou will evolve.

As long as Xuzhou is victorious, Qiao Anbang's zhiheji base will not directly face the attack and encirclement of the Japanese army in a short period of time, so that he will have more time to develop and strengthen himself.

There is no need to spend too much time like this. With the current scale and foundation of the National Salvation Army, just give Qiao Anbang a year, he will be confident that he will pull up a Tiger Army that is enough to reverse the situation of the mainland's anti-Japanese war. At that time, the National Salvation Army will be the first to sound the horn of counterattack against the Japanese army.

After the First Battalion captured the position of the 58th Regiment, Qiao Anbang and Chu Jingming and others went to Fengyang Gorge. While inspecting, a soldier ran over and saluted Qiao Anbang and said, "Reporting to Chief Executive, not long ago, our guard regiment had successfully captured the important land of Tianma Peak with the assistance of the Armored Brigade and wiped out more than 2,000 Japanese troops. The armored brigade also received good news. They wiped out a group of Japanese cavalry several kilometers south of Tianma Peak, with more than 1,000 people. In addition, the guard regiment killed nearly 4,000 enemies. In addition, the squad leader of the 1st Battalion of the Third Battalion of the Armored Brigade led several armored soldiers to kill a Japanese major general."

"Okay," Qiao Anbang nodded repeatedly and waved his hand and signaled: "Transfer to me that the Third Battalion of Guards defended Tianma Peak, the Second Battalion returned to the ferry and prepared to pick up the army to cross the river, and the Armored Brigade's mobile patrol and support it back and forth."

"Also, I'll find the armored soldier who killed the Japanese major general. I want to reward him personally." Qiao Anbang thought about it and added.

"Yes," the warrior responded with a loud bang, then turned around and took the order and left.

After watching the soldiers leave, Qiao Anbang turned to Chu Jingming again and said, "Brother, the communication battalion directly under my National Salvation Army Command is still on the north bank. I want to ask you to bring people back to pick them up."

"Anbang, do you want to set up your command center on the south bank?" Chu Jingming said slightly surprised.

"Of course, my subordinates are all on the South Bank. As their commander, I naturally have to stay on the South Bank and fight side by side with them. And with me, the soldiers of the entire army will do their best to fight back. I will also imitate Han Xin's fight back today." Qiao Anbang said righteously.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Chu Jingming replied readily, and then turned around and left.

Qiao Anbang turned around and watched Chu Jingming leave, but did not notice that there was a trace of strangeness in Liang Jiahan's eyes looking at him next to him.
