The sky was overcast, the cold wind was howling, and there was no sunlight at all.The rumbling sound of motors echoed on the road leading to Wuhu, and the endless convoy and infantry formed a torrent of steel and rolled towards Wuhu.This was the 116th Division, which had been ordered to rush to the aid of Wuhu, and they could have reached the outside of Wuhu as early as this morning, but now it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and they were still more than 30 kilometers away from Wuhu.The division commander, Yokota Koyong, sat in his command car with his eyes closed, and he swayed on the bumpy road, holding his saber in both hands, looking like a samurai waiting for battle.In fact, he was afraid to death in his heart, originally his defense was near Hefei, the two places were not too far apart, he received an order from Nanjiro to rush to Wuhu yesterday, but he had to delay until now to arrive, the reason was that he did not want to give up the already inherent position.Yokota has been in Anhui for a year, and he has not fought any major battles with the regular Chinese army, but has fought many times with the Anhui militia.Although he killed many militiamen each time, the price he paid was even greater.He knew that if he was to fight against the elusive and outnumbered militias, he would have to be overwhelmingly superior and would need air power to gain the upper hand.Now let him give up the fortified position that he had worked hard for a year to support the defenders of Wuhu, he was extremely unwilling in his heart.Although he is likely to win a beautiful battle, his division will also pay a huge price.The 116th Division is the lifeblood of all his life, and all his opportunities in the army must be obtained from this division.If there were any major losses in this division, it would be more heart-wrenching than his life."
Your Excellency General, there are still thirty-five kilometers to Wuhu.The front is about to pass through a mountainous area, and at the entrance there is a squadron of about a regiment that has formed a position, whether to launch an attack or not," an officer reported to Yokoyama from outside the window.Yokoyama Xiaoyong exhaled slowly: "Finally came into contact" His eyes suddenly opened, and a cold murderous aura suddenly erupted.He is the kind of person who is timid and afraid, but his mind is extremely meticulous.If he doesn't fight, he will be an unstoppable tiger, which is why the Japanese headquarters is willing to send such a timid person to Anhui."
The tank units suspended the offensive and all retreated to both sides.The artillery units aimed at the local positions and gave me a covering bombardment from the front of the positions for an hour.An hour later, the tank units went on the offensive. ”Yokoyama gave the order.His mind was very clear, and he had already guessed that there might be anti-tank mines in front of the positions of the New Fourth Army.Because in the previous wars with the Chinese, the squadron did not have the weapons to effectively contain the tanks, and could only rely on people holding explosive packs or placing some improvised mines to stop the attack of Japanese tanks.Constant bombardment with artillery fire will not only clear a road, but also break up the squadron's position.Then charge with tanks, and the squadron will not be able to stop, and this is the decision of Yokoyama Koyoshi in a split second.Rumbling artillery fire rang out from the rear of the Japanese troops, and a large number of Japanese troops formed a charging formation, ready to wait for the artillery fire to end.On the positions of the New Fourth Army, the intense artillery bombardment directly destroyed the improvised fortifications that had been dug for less than half a day.The soldiers of the New Fourth Army hurriedly sought shelter from the artillery fire, and the whistling shells blasted huge deep pits in the trenches."
Regiment commander, the devil's artillery fire is too fierce, are we going to retreat?"
the staff officer of the regiment headquarters yelled beside the regiment commander.The commander of the New Fourth Army hid in the bomb crater in the trench, smoking a cigarette captured from the little devil, and said with a smile: "You turtle baby, what has happened to you before the bomb has taken you, you want to retreat, our task is to attract the devil into the encirclement, if you leave as soon as you fight, is that still the style of our New Fourth Army, we must make the enemy believe, then we have to survive this round of artillery fire, and wait for the devil's infantry to charge before retreating." ”In the trenches, the soldiers of the New Fourth Army hid in two or three of them in the bomb shelter crater, and the shells exploded around them, and the deafening feeling that people who have not experienced it will never be able to understand it, this is playing a game of life and death with the god of death.An hour later, the devil's artillery fire stopped on time.The tanks, which had retreated to both sides, rumbled with black smoke and began to charge the positions of the New Fourth Army with a large number of infantry."
Comrades are ready, the little devils are coming.Hold on to your guns and don't faint again.Give the little devils a little bit of power" The commander of the New Fourth Army Corps was covered in black ash, lying on the edge of the bombed potholed trench, and personally used a crooked machine gun.The tank drove slowly, crawling like an ugly turtle, and the rumbling sound made the Iron King Eight look more like a monster, and more than fifty monsters with billowing black smoke rolled the crater-riddled road, heading heavily towards the New Fourth Army position.500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters.Cold sweat slowly oozed from the foreheads of the soldiers of the New Fourth Army, and they could already clearly see the faces of the devils behind the tank, and the disgusting red plaster on the steel helmet made the soldiers of the New Fourth Army want to hit with one shot.Two hundred meters, the regiment commander took the lead in pulling the trigger of the crooked handle, and at the same time shouted: "Hit me hard" The trench that had been silent for a long time under the fire of the devil's artillery finally broke out with the most powerful power, and various types of guns roared and spit out projectiles, and the web of death went towards the devils one by one.Boom, boom, boom.The grenades kept falling in the middle of the advancing tanks, and the power of the explosion immediately blew up the devils behind the tanks.Although the tank could continue to advance, the devils who followed the tank never dared to show their heads, for fear of being swept away by the frantic firepower of the New Fourth Army's position."
Comrades, retreat and blow up the trenches for me, let the little devils work hard for a while" Seeing that the devil's tank had reached a distance of fifty meters, the regiment commander decisively gave the order to retreat.More than fifty tanks, which is simply not something that a regiment can deal with.Even if there is another regiment, it will definitely be crushed by these tanks.At this time, they can only retreat, or when the devil's tank rushes through the position, they can only melee with the Japanese army, and then there is no chance to retreat.As soon as the New Fourth Army withdrew, an earth-shattering noise erupted in the trenches.Three or four devil tanks that rushed first turned into burning Iron King Eight in a violent explosion, and the tank driver desperately rushed out of the fire, but soon turned into black charcoal and fell down in the fire.The fire was raging, and the devil's tank group rushed through the flames and rolled through the trenches.A large number of Japanese soldiers in the rear also made a detour, following behind the tanks and advancing on the plains in the mountains in front."
Report to Your Excellency, the squadron's defense line has been crushed.It looks like they were supposed to be the New Fourth Army, resisted for a while, we had three tanks destroyed in battle. ”Yokoyama Xiaoyong smiled coldly: "The New Fourth Army is a rabble.They are just guerrillas who can fight guerrilla warfare and burrow in the mountains.They were no different from the militias, at most they wore an extra uniform. ”"Inform the troops to immediately advance at full speed, and there must be positions set up by the New Fourth Army ahead.They wanted to block the round between our army and the defenders of Wuhu, so that they could annihilate the defenders of Wuhu with all their might.We must not let their plans succeed, or we will be the next to be attacked when they turn the corner. ”Yokoyama shouted loudly.The officer "Hai" immediately went to carry out the order of Yokoyama Koyong.The 116th Division was like a monster with full horsepower, marching forward at a speed that had never been seen before.At the same time, with the wing as a unit, the offensive formation was neatly arranged, ready to start a big battle with the squadron at any time.Yokoyama had already decided that the battle just now was just a blocking battle prepared by the New Fourth Army to prevent him from going to save the defenders in Wuhu.And if the other party retreats so quickly, there must be a more solid battlefield ahead.He had to take advantage of the situation to take the opponent's position, so that he could rush to Wuhu City in the shortest possible time."
Kumamoto Taro, just wait for me to save you."
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Yokoyama's mouth, and his timid and fearful personality was instantly hidden, and it was completely impossible to see that he was a timid and fearful person.The retreating New Fourth Army rushed wildly into the plains in the mountains, and soon entered the pre-ambushed positions.The vast plain was deserted, and in a long strip of more than ten kilometers, there were only Japanese troops advancing rapidly from the entrance."
Here they are" Gao Dong and Su Yu stood on the top of a hill, both holding binoculars."
Captain Gao, go and inform your artillery unit, and when all the enemies have entered the ambush circle, I will blow them up in the middle," Su Yu put down the binoculars and said."
Understand that the exit to Wuhu has been guarded by a regiment of our Independent Brigade, and none of the devils should try to escape from there.As for the entrance, I have ordered a regiment to assist you in defending it.These two places must be the places where the devils storm and fight, and the dogs will definitely jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, not to mention these beasts who kill people without blinking. ”"Great, the weaponry and quality of your independent brigade are enough to withstand the impact of devils."
Su Yu patted Gao Dong's shoulder reassuringly.Between the mountains and environmental protection, a large number of devils' troops have entered this ambush circle like a gourd.When all the devil troops entered, the entrance area they had just entered was immediately sealed to death.Two regiments of the New Fourth Army and a regiment of the Independent Brigade have set up all kinds of light and heavy weapons here, and none of them will want to leave here unless the devils collapse over their corpses.Gao Dong looked at the Japanese troops coldly, and when the devil's troops rushed to the most central area, he gave the order to bombard all the artillery units.Boom Boom Suddenly, shells fell into the middle of the devil's team in all directions, quickly bombarding the dense team in half.Yokota Xiaoyong's car braked violently in the artillery fire, and Yokota Xiaoyong's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at the dense artillery fire outside the car window, like the end of the world:
