Chapter 179: Night Attack of the 9th Division (first update)

More than two hours passed, and the sound of killing outside Erpu Town gradually weakened.

Qiao Anbang, surrounded by several guards, arrived at the roof of a private house in Erpu Town. Looking around, there were dazzling flames burning everywhere under the dark night sky, and the entire 114th Division was filled with smoke and fires soaring into the sky.

Within these two hours, 150 tanks of the National Salvation Army Armored Brigade galloped across the Japanese positions, crushing back and forth, and rushing the Japanese defense line to pieces.

The main infantry took advantage of the situation and attacked fiercely, killing the 114th Division corpses everywhere and blood flowed into a river.

Qiao Anbang slowly put down the telescope in his hand, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Tonight, it was destined to be a night when the national rescue army became famous all over the world and shocked the world.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded in the courtyard. Qiao Anbang turned his head and looked down when he heard the sound. Wang Gensheng and several guards ran in excitedly with torches: "Master, Master."

"I'm here." Qiao Anbang said calmly.

Wang Gensheng raised his head excitedly and said, "General, great victory, great victory, our army has successfully eliminated the 114th Division. The enemy division commander Shimoji Momoji was crushed into meat mud by a No. 4 tank. Chief of Staff Saburo Isoda committed suicide by seducing his stomach. Except for a few Japanese who escaped by chance at night, the entire 114th Division has been wiped out by me. As for those remaining Japanese soldiers, the regiments are currently pursuing them with all their might."

Qiao Anbang nodded with satisfaction and immediately said, "Order the regiments to stop chasing immediately and prepare to set off."

"Yes," Wang Gensheng immediately stood up and responded loudly, and immediately took the order.

Due to the rapid attack of the National Salvation Army, all the 114th Division were caught off guard and had not even had time to send a farewell message, and its division command was crushed into powder by the tank regiment.

Soon, the regiments that were pursuing the remnants of the Japanese soldiers received the order from Qiao Anbang. Although they were reluctant to stop pursuing, the commanders of Qiao Anbang's orders still firmly obeyed and stopped pursuing one after another. They did not care about cleaning the battlefield, so they led their troops back to Erpu Town.

After assembling the troops, Qiao Anbang used the tank regiment as the front drive and led three infantry regiments of the First Division, the Division Guard Company and other directly affiliated troops, the guard regiment, and a half battalion of the Second Division, a total of about 15,000 people, and rushed towards Xiquan Town in a mighty manner.

This time, Qiao Anbang did not return to Fengyang along Dingfeng Highway and then advanced towards Xiquan Town, but instead followed the rural dirt roads such as Zongpu, Lianggang, Zhouxu, Caodian and other villages to the rear of the 9th Division.

Although the journey has increased to more than fifty kilometers, the whereabouts of the National Salvation Army have been hidden as much as possible, and the suddenness of its unexpected tactics can be maximized.

…………………………

At the foot of Yushan, the 9th Division Division is located in a small mountain village that is already empty.

At this time, the entire village became the headquarters of the 9th Division. The bodies of the villagers who were killed during the day were carried by the Japanese to the open space outside the village and concealed them on the spot.

It was late at night, and the moisture of the Huai River made the small village particularly cold. Some Japanese sentries wearing military coats on the outside of the village were patrolling back and forth at the important road at the entrance of the village. A sharp searchlight shone back and forth, driving away the darkness wherever they went, just like daytime.

A larger house in the village has now become the headquarters of the 9th Division. A small team of Japanese troops outside the yard has built fortifications, set up light and heavy machine guns, and guarded the division headquarters.

In a main hall inside the house, there were two Japanese correspondents on duty, and there was no one else outside the main hall. The radio occasionally made a ticking sound, breaking the silence in the main hall.

Suddenly, a loud sneeze sounded from a bedroom in the main hall. Suddenly, a Japanese officer with a flesh-faced face walked out of it in a military uniform.

Two Japanese correspondents on duty quickly took off their headphones, stood up and saluted, "General"

Ji Jialiangfu waved his hand casually to signal the two of them to sit down, and walked out of the main hall in his military coat, went to the yard to unbutton his belt and began to unbutton it.

At the same time, on the earthen road four or five miles away from the village, the armored torrent of the Tank Regiment of the National Salvation Army's Armored Brigade was rumbling.

Qiao Anbang was sitting in a tank car, closing his eyes and resting. Zhang Xudong, the commander of the Armored Brigade, who was sitting next to him, held a small map in his hand and said to Qiao Anbang: "The chief seat, it seems that it is coming soon."

"Hmm?" Qiao Anbang opened his eyes when he heard this.

Zhang Xudong held the flashlight in one hand and pointed at the map on his knees with the other hand and said, "Look, there is a mountain called Yushan several miles further ahead. After passing Yushan, you will walk north of Xiquan Town about ten miles."

"Oh, the distance is getting closer and closer. Order the troops to fight well and be sure to eliminate them on the spot if they encounter Japanese." Qiao Anbang pondered for a moment.

"Yes," Zhang Xudong responded quickly, then picked up the wireless intercom and began to convey the order.

Shin Kameda was a chief Cao from the third squadron of the Guard Squadron directly under the 9th Division of the Japanese Army. He was about 25 or 26 years old. The reason why he called this name is said to be because his mother was pregnant with more than ten men in the same village next to a paddy field. Because she didn't know who her father was, in order to commemorate the night that year, Shin Kameda's mother gave him such a name.

The third team was on the rotation tonight, and Toshi Kameda's squad was ordered to garrison the entrance of the main road east of the village.

Toshi Kameda was a veteran who had received formal training and participated in the Battle of Shanghai. He was very responsible and led his subordinates to build some simple fortifications at the entrance of the village.

Several subordinates were in charge of standing guard, while Kameda Cao and three other subordinates gathered in front of a bonfire and were cooking fires. Seeing that the bonfire was getting weaker and weaker, Kameda Cao Cao said to a subordinate next to him: "Yanmu, go find some more firewood.

"Hai" the Japanese soldier who called Shanmu quickly nodded and then turned around and walked out of the village.

The mountain trees collected a small pile of waste wood and were about to carry it back, but in a trance, they seemed to see a beam of light. They suddenly turned around and saw a large group of steel giant beasts with lighted headlights on the dirt road not far away, galloping towards this side.

He threw away the scrap wood in his hand, quickly took the rifle off his back, and shot him into the sky.

The gunshots were the warning signal of the Japanese. As soon as the gunshots sounded, the Japanese sentries in the entire village and other Japanese soldiers who were sleeping in the guard squadron were alarmed.

The gunshot also alarmed the moving tank regiment. Although the tanks have headlights, their visibility is limited. In the dark night, people can see tanks with headlights from afar, but the tank soldiers cannot see the people standing in the dark.

"What's going on? Where to shoot?" Zhang Xudong, who was sitting next to Qiao Anbang, asked in surprise.

The report from the first tank commander sounded from the intercom: "Reporting to the brigade, gunshots came from the village in front, and there seemed to be an enemy."

"Master, there is something wrong." Zhang Xudong turned his head and said.

Qiao Anbang could hear the report clearly in the intercom. He immediately said in a deep voice: "No matter whether it is the enemy or me, please order the first battalion to rush forward first. The second battalion and the third battalion are circling around the village in front. If it is a Japanese, don't let anyone go. Order the Second Regiment to guide the infantry convoy to pass through Yushan immediately and head straight to Xiquan Town. When the gunshots here, I'm afraid the Japanese in Xiquan Town will be alarmed."

"Yes," Zhang Xudong responded, then picked up the walkie-talkie and started to issue orders.

After receiving the order, the first regiment of tanks quickly began to act. More than 20 tanks from the first battalion rushed towards the east end of the village, while the second and third battalions detoured to make a detour to surrounding the entire village.

"Shoot" behind the Japanese fortifications at the east end of the village, the Japanese soldiers in the village had already arrived to reinforce. The third squad leader drew his command knife and waved his strength forward. Dozens of Japanese soldiers opened fire one after another.

The dense bullets roared towards the first No. 4 tank that was rumbling. The dense bullets hit the heavy armor of the No. 4 tank and burst out a series of Mars, which failed to stop the advance of the No. 4 tank at all.

Just as the Japanese soldiers were different, the guns of the black hole of the No. 4 tank slowly aimed at the Japanese fortifications at the entrance of the village. With a dull "bang", a fire suddenly appeared, and a high-explosive bomb roared out of the gun chamber, and flew quickly to the Japanese fortifications with its scorching and dazzling tail flames.

Although I don't know whether the village is an enemy or a friend, after being attacked, the tank commander made a quick decision to order a counterattack.

"Boom" shells fell into the Japanese fortifications and exploded violently. The simple fortifications temporarily built by the Japanese were destroyed in the explosion, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were even blown up to the point of blood and their remaining limbs flew across.

In the village, Ji Jialiangfu, who had just returned to the house and lying down, was awakened by the gunshots from outside the village. Before he could get out of bed, more dense gunshots came from outside the village, and then a loud noise came again.

Yoshikarasuke walked out of the main hall in panic in a military coat, but saw Chief of Staff Hiroshi Nakagawa running over in a hurry.

Yoshikarasuke immediately asked, "Kun Nakagawa, what's going on?"

"General, there are a large number of Chinese armored combat vehicles outside the village. They are attacking and the guard squadron has gone to resist." Hiroshi Nakagawa gasped like a cow and said, "General, we have limited troops. For your safety, please evacuate here as soon as possible."

"Well" Ji Jialiangsuke was insidious and cunning. In the absence of the enemy's situation, he dared not stay here for a moment. Moreover, his main forces were in the direction of Xiquan Town, ten miles away. He would take one more minute of danger here. He nodded immediately and said, "Nakagawa Jun, immediately generate electricity for the cavalry corps and order them to come and reinforce. After sending the message, break through to the back mountain immediately."

"Hai" Hiroshi Nakagawa suddenly lowered his head and responded, then walked straight into the main hall.

Soon, several Japanese correspondents brought the radio station and followed Ji Jialiangfu and others in a hurry to retreat to Yushan.

At this time, the battalions of the First Tank Regiment had launched an attack on the mountain village, and the tanks and guns fired one after another, and the entire village had fallen into a sea of ​​fire.
