Chapter 309: Xuzhou Annihilation War (IV)

In a moment, Zhang Xudong's armored brigade rushed to the scene, and the tanks and guns fired one after another. The shells fell into the Japanese crowd, bursting out dazzling fire. The Japanese soldiers who were charging could not dodge and fell down a large area.

Soon, the tank soldiers set up tank No. 4 to crush the Japanese crowd. More than 150 tanks of two tank regiments formed a dense steel torrent. In the face of this powerful steel torrent, the Japanese's flesh and blood body seemed very vulnerable.

The anti-aircraft machine guns and vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns equipped by the two armored chariot battalions of another tank regiment also spit out flames. For a moment, dense bullets like rain fell into the Japanese crowd like raindrops.

The already chaotic Japanese attacking crowd screamed in an instant, with extremely heavy casualties and the attack that was bound to collapse instantly.

Countless Japanese soldiers fled in all directions under the rampage of hundreds of tanks, the suppression of hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns and the powerful firepower network composed of heavy machine guns, fled in all directions, and no effect was achieved if some Japanese grassroots officers scolded them.

In the dark night, the armored brigade, which had a strong attack, began its bloody massacre like an iron beast.

The steel torrent of nearly two hundred tanks and armored vehicles rushed into thousands of Japanese people like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

The heavy No. 4 tank galloped back and forth, and wherever it went, there would be blood and flesh splatters. The Japanese soldiers were either knocked away or crushed into rotten mud by the tracks of the No. 4 tank.

The armored vehicles equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns are like fire hedgehogs with "fire thorns". Wherever they go, Japanese soldiers fell to the ground like grass.

This is a completely unequal battle, and the mechanized armored assault force once again showed his almost powerful combat power.

About an hour later, the armoured brigade battalions returned triumphantly, almost all the chariot armor and tracks were covered with blood, and some even had some Japanese broken limbs, broken arms, intestines and internal organs hanging.

A strong fishy smell can be smelled from afar. If you were not a person who had been through many battles, you would be vomited even if you smell the bloody smell.

However, tank soldiers have seen this kind of scene a lot and are basically numb.

After the Armored Brigade returned in triumphal return, Zhang Xudong left a tank battalion to assist the Third Regiment in defending the railway station, and led the main force of the Armored Brigade to head straight to the First Regiment and Second Regiment.

…………………………

In a small valley less than ten miles away from the railway station, Onotoshi Shiro, Doihara Kenji and others moved their command vehicles here overnight to facilitate command of the troops to attack. Once the offensive works, they can quickly take the opportunity to break out.

In the joint command, Shiro Onoshiro, Kenji Doihara, and Yuuki Yamagata were discussing in front of the map while anxiously waiting for the results of the front-line attacking troops to pass on.

Not far from them, several high-power radio stations were ticking and ticking. Four or five Japanese confidential officers were busy and orderly, sorting out the messages they received one by one. Later, a specialist submitted them to Banhengzheng Shiro and others.

After receiving another telegram, Banhengheng Shiro took a quick look and said to everyone with a sigh: "You guys, judging from the current progress of our Imperial Army, the resistance of the Chinese Tiger Army is quite tenacious!"

"Ban Hengjun is right. What is most surprising is their reaction speed. The sudden attack by the Imperial Army failed to work, which eventually led to the long delay in the war. Once the sky was bright and the Chinese Air Force arrived, we were thinking that we would have a lot of hope of breaking through the encirclement." Kenji Doihara said worriedly.

Before Shiro Tochi Seiro could make a sound, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded from the outside. Everyone turned around and saw a major officer stumble in with a dirt face.

When he arrived, the Grand Secretary first stood attentively to Shiro Onoshigata, Kenji Doihara and others, and then directly reported to Kenji Doihara: "Secretary Commander, it's not good. The 21st Brigade was attacked by the Chinese armored troops. Not only did the offense fail, but its main 2nd Infantry Regiment was completely broken from the gang leader Colonel Ishiguro Sadazo, and the 59th Infantry Regiment was also forced to terminate the attack due to excessive casualties!"

"What?" Kenji Doihara was shocked when he heard this. The 21st Brigade was the absolute main force of his 14th Division. The officers and soldiers of the brigade were not only well-trained and well-equipped, but also an elite army that had been tested for war. In order to capture the railway station and open up the road to break through, he spared no expense to crush the entire 21st Brigade, but he did not expect that the losses would be so heavy."

Realizing that Kenji Doihara was lost, Onotoshi Shiro hurriedly said, "Doihara, don't be more sad. The Tiger Army is so strong. We should be mentally prepared for such casualties!"

Kenji Doihara nodded sadly and said, "Banhengjun, we should think about how to deal with the Chinese armored troops! Otherwise, the breakout of the Imperial Army would probably end in failure!"

Shiro Banhenghou said helplessly: "The most effective way to use the armored troops is to use aviation troops to bomb, but it is dark now. Even if it is not night, our air force cannot come to help. Air control is firmly in the hands of the Hu Ben Army. This bastard Tokugawa Homin will never take the risk of reinforcement!" When it comes to Tokugawa Homin, Shiro Banhenghou was so angry that he was itchy, but he couldn't protect himself at the moment, but he could do nothing to him.

"Is there no way to deal with the armored forces of the Tiger Army?" Colonel Sano Tadaoyi, the chief of staff of the 14th Division, asked unwillingly.

"Yes!" Onotoshi Shiro gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of the present, we can only organize suicide squads and use suicide squads to block or even destroy the armored combat vehicles of the Chinese people!"

"Success Squad?" Kenji Dohihara immediately took a breath of air and said, "There are nearly 200 armored vehicles in the Chinese people. How many suicide squads do they need to stop their assault?"

"Although doing this is cruel, it is our only way at present. War is like this, Doi Fukun should understand!" Banhengheng Seiro said expressionlessly.

"Oh, it's hateful. If the Imperial Army's anti-chariot cannons and anti-tank guns are strong enough, we will not have to sacrifice the lives of the Imperial Army warriors in exchange for victory." Kenji Doihara said regretfully.

"Dofu Jun doesn't have to think too much. After this battle is over, we must suggest to the base that we must speed up the development of new weapons, tanks, and fighter jets in order to compete with the Chinese Tiger Army!" Banhengheng Zhengshiro said confidently.

Subsequently, Shiro Onoshi and Kenji Doihara and others issued orders to organize suicide squads to their respective divisions. At the same time, tens of thousands of Japanese troops fighting the 10th Division and two mixed brigades that fought in the Fifth War Zone also arrived in Xuzhou overnight. With the addition of these tens of thousands of new forces, Shiro Onoshi and others became more confident and immediately organized troops to continue to launch a fierce attack on Xuzhou.

………………………………

Xijiao Railway Station.

On the position of the Third Regiment, the guard regiment ordered to reinforce finally arrived. Originally, the guard regiment was the reserve force left behind in the city, but the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack, which once cut off the connection between the Xijiao Railway Station and Xuzhou City. The guard regiment and a regiment defending the southwest corner of Xuzhou City fought hard. In addition, the armored brigade defeated the offensive force of the Japanese 21st Brigade, causing the Japanese offensive to be set and the offensive troops temporarily retreated.

The guard regiment was able to reach Xijiao Railway Station. At this time, at Xijiao Railway Station, both inside and outside the position were corpses everywhere, but the bodies were more of the Japanese, especially in front of the third regiment position. After the assault from the armored brigade, the Japanese left corpses all the way, blood flowing into a river. The open space in front of the entire position was like a Shura hell, bloody and terrifying.

…………………………

In Xuzhou City, the 11th Army Interim Command.

Liang Jiahan put down the phone and turned to report to Qiao Anbang: "General, the armored brigade has defeated the Japanese army attacking the railway station, annihilated many enemies. In addition, the guard regiment broke through the Japanese army's blockade and arrived at the train smoothly!"

"That's great. With the addition of the absolutely elite guard regiment, the Japanese will never want to capture the Xijiao Railway Station before dawn!" Qiao Anbang praised, and a huge rock in his heart also fell quietly. As long as the Xijiao Railway Station is not lost, the overall defense line of the Hu Ben Army in Xuzhou will not collapse. Then the Japanese want to break through is tantamount to dreaming.

As long as we have to survive tonight, when the sky is dawn, the time for the Hu Ben Army to counterattack will come.

After pondering for a while, Qiao Anbang said to Liang Jiahan: "Adminton Liang, immediately send a power to Li Pinxian and urge them to speed up the marching. They must arrive at Xuzhou City before dawn, and also send an urgent telegram to the transportation team, telling them that they must send the military pay and weapons and equipment required by the 31st and 48th Army as soon as possible before dawn."

"Yes!" Liang Jiahan responded happily with his chest, then turned around and left with a tall step.

Liang Jiahan had just left, and Yali walked in quickly with a look of anxiety. When she came to the front, she didn't care about standing attentively and saluting, and said to Qiao Anbang: "Chief, I just received an urgent message from the head of the Fifth War Zone Chief Office that the 10th Japanese Division and two mixed brigades confronted them quietly evacuated at night and rushed to Xuzhou. Chief Li Zongren told us to be careful and cautious. He and Chief Bai are organizing troops to pursue!"

"Huh?" Qiao Anbang suddenly changed his color when he heard this. No wonder the Japanese army outside the city was so fierce. It turned out that more than 100,000 Japanese were all gathered in Xuzhou. It seemed that the Japanese army wanted to make a desperate bet.

"Master, what should we do?" Yali asked anxiously.

Qiao Anbang pondered a little and said, "Immediately generate a power for the two generals Zhang Zizhong and Liu Ruming, and ask them to lead the troops to attack the enemy in front of them, and tell them that all the main forces of the Japanese army gathered in Xuzhou. The enemy in front of them must be just a small group of Japanese troops. After defeating the enemy in front of them, the Japanese army immediately launched an attack from the back to relieve the pressure on the defense line of Xuzhou!"

"Yes!" Yali stood up and responded quickly, turning around and leaving.

After Yali left, Chi Fengcheng stepped forward to Qiao Anbang and said, "General Qiao, Ban Hengzheng and Doihara, the two old Japanese devils, were indeed cunning. Knowing that our air force and artillery were unable to exert their advantages at night, we concentrated our efforts to break through!"

"Yes, at night, our artillery was basically blind, and the battle between the two sides turned into a desperate battle between infantry and infantry!" Qiao Anbang nodded sadly.

Then he said with a stern expression: "But this is both a test and an opportunity for our army! A chance to prove itself! I want to use the corpses of the 100,000 Japanese troops to declare to the whole world that the Chinese are not the sick husbands of East Asia, and the Chinese team is not a group of mobs. As the same thing, those who dare to offend our China will be wiped out!"

ps: The first update, there will be two updates tonight. Yesterday, I said in the group that I will update today with ten thousand words, so I will definitely do it!
