On the outskirts of Whampoa, the Fifth and Sixth Divisions were the first to arrive here, because they were much closer than the armored troops.At this time, Huangpu had long been completely shrouded in gunsmoke, and the sound of gunfire could be heard from afar, and there were circulating fires everywhere.The Fifth and Sixth Divisions did not stop, and immediately joined forces with the other half of the Fourth Division to attack Whampoa from due north, in an attempt to open a gap from here and rescue part of the trapped First and Fourth Divisions.With the input of the two divisions, the devils who were fighting in the Huangpu area suddenly began to be unable to resist, and there was a faint trend of defeat and retreat.The combined combat effectiveness of the Fifth and Sixth Divisions was extraordinary.Moreover, these soldiers had just come down from the battlefield, their morale was high, and they had an indescribable excitement in the face of the enemy in Whampoa.But at this moment, on the other side of Huangpu, artillery pieces were lifted off the camouflage of the periphery.It turned out that Yamashita had already moved half of his artillery to the Huangpu area, in order to wait for the Chinese army to fall into the trap and then give the other side the most fatal blow.All the artillery, covered with thatch.Even if you get closer, you just think that these things are just piles of thatch, and it is hard to imagine that there are cannons hidden underneath."
All artillery adjusted the angle and prepared to fire" The Japanese artillery position suddenly roared continuously, like a thunder from hell, and suddenly bombarded the ranks of the 5th and 6th Divisions.The sudden heavy artillery fire hit the 5th and 6th Divisions.The two unsuspecting divisions suffered heavy casualties, and the attacking troops and the troops behind were separated by artillery fire.The heavy artillery fire seemed to have carved a ravine in the ground, and it was a ravine that could not be crossed at all.Faced with this situation, the commanders of the fifth and sixth divisions could only be anxious, because they were in a hurry to march this time, all the heavy weapons were left behind, and they came lightly.If you bring artillery with you, you can also suppress the enemy's artillery at this time.But now, they can only retreat under enemy fire.If you stay, you will only pay a heavy price in the end.In just a few rounds of shelling, two battalions of the Fifth and Sixth Divisions were blown up one after another.The forward troops, trapped in front of the artillery fire, were quickly surrounded by the retreating Japanese units because they had lost the assistance of the rear troops.In this way, instead of saving friendly troops, the 5th and 6th Divisions took part of their own troops.Hirata Kuro watched this scene from afar, and the corners of his mouth showed an increasingly smug smile."
Keep attacking, keep attacking, aren't you very powerful, why do you stop, continue to attack, I can have more chances to kill you" Twenty minutes later, the Japanese artillery fire had completely isolated the troops of the Fifth and Sixth Divisions out of the Whampoa area.The strength of the two divisions could only be separated by artillery fire, helplessly watching the friendly troops being surrounded and annihilated by devils.They wanted to do something, but they couldn't help at all.Just when they felt helpless, there was a rumbling sound on the road in the distance.I saw armored vehicles speeding from the bumpy road.Like a mighty steel beast, with an invincible life, it rushed here at high speed."
It's the armored troops coming, it's the armored troops coming" The Fifth and Sixth Divisions suddenly became excited and jubilant when they saw a large number of tanks advancing here.And at the same time, Hirata Kuro also saw the armored forces of the PLA approaching Huangpu.Without hesitation, he immediately ordered a ceasefire on the artillery units, and the entire line began to retreat.He was not stupid enough to wait for his own artillery positions to be solved by the enemy's armored artillery fire.The Japanese moved quickly, and immediately after the cease-fire, they moved their artillery positions towards another area that had already been chosen.Almost as soon as they had not gone far, the armored forces that had been assembled in place began to roar.One shell after another passed through the sky over Whampoa, where the battle was being fought, and fell fiercely in the direction where the Japanese artillery position was located before.A large number of shells fell, and in an instant, the place was reduced to rubble.In particular, the haystack used by the devils to cover the artillery was burning like a ball of fire rising on the earth.But just as the armored forces were bombarding, the devil's artillery fire actually roared again.However, they had already left where they had been, firing from another place, firing shells at the location of the armored troops.Boom Boom More than a dozen tanks were immediately blown into scrap metal by a large number of shells, and when they were burning, they completely lost their effectiveness.The rest of the tanks woke up one after another, urgently looking for the location of the devil's artillery.But Hirata Kuro only let the artillery bombard for one round, and after the bombing, it immediately died down.They are like despicable sneak attackers, taking this kind of sneak attack, hitting someone and then hiding immediately, and then taking advantage of the fact that others are not looking, going up and punching and then hiding.But this method is obviously very useful on the battlefield at this moment.Not only preserves the strength of the Japanese artillery, but also keeps consuming the strength of the People's Liberation Army, Hirata Jiuro has already had a lot of fun.While the armored forces and the devil's artillery were playing cat catch, the 5th and 6th divisions were not idle.The two armies were not blocked by artillery fire and immediately launched an attack on Whampoa.But the enemy on the outskirts of Whampoa seemed to have been prepared, and this time they did not retreat, but held their positions, and began a tug-of-war with the two attacking divisions with the help of their positions.In Huangpu, the First Division was already very dangerous, and the original force of more than 10,000 people was now less than 4,000 people left.Of the trapped troops of the Fourth Division, there were only more than 1,000 people left.If this situation continues, it is estimated that in more than an hour, they will be completely finished.At this moment, more troops rushed to the outskirts of Whampoa.This is the unit of the reinforced division, among which Hu Xinghan and the command of the 1st Army are also in.As soon as Hu Xinghan arrived here, he received all the reports from his subordinates about the battle situation here.When he heard that the armored units were only playing the role of fixed artillery, he was furious."
What did the armored troops do to call them here, to break through the enemy's positions and rescue friendly troops, not to ask them to be artillery," Hu Xinghan roared."
Commander, this is also a helpless thing, the little devil and our troops are almost mixed together, if the armored forces attack, it is likely that we will accidentally injure our own people" An officer said helplessly: "Moreover, the devil's artillery fire is very cunning, and it always bombs the armored troops by surprise, and it is impossible to prevent it, and it has already caused us great losses" "What devil's artillery fire is cunning" Hu Xinghan stared at his eyes and shouted: "How cunning are they still flying" The officer nodded bitterly: "Almost" Hu Xinghan was about to get angrySuddenly, a violent explosion was heard outside.He hurriedly looked at the place of the explosion, and saw that in the center of Huangpu, a tall building was being bombarded by the devil's mortar at the moment.It seemed to be crumbling, with signs of collapse at any moment."
Commander, that's where a regiment of the 1st Division is trapped.I heard that they had been holding out for a long time, but," said one of the officers at once, his eyes full of sadness as he looked at the building.Any fool can see that the Japanese are now focusing on that building with mortars.Even if it is strong, it will inevitably collapse after an hour of mortar bombardment.When the time comes, all the people in it will be buried alive.A lot of cold sweat oozed from Hu Xinghan's forehead, he didn't expect that Yamashita Fengwen would be so tricky, forcing him to the bottom of this helplessness."
What about the reinforced division, what about Yang Fei" Hu Xinghan suddenly roared: "Let the whole army of the reinforced division attack, cooperate with the fifth and sixth divisions, open a gap for me, and rescue our troops" Soon, the reinforced division was under the command of Yang Fei, and the whole army was put into battle.The first division was brought out by Yang Fei, and now that he is trapped, Yang Fei's heart is actually more anxious than anyone else.Although he is now the commander of the reinforced division, he values the old troops as much as his own children and his own home.Therefore, at this moment, Yang Fei personally went into battle, and led his troops to attack the enemy's defensive position from the other side, helping the Fifth and Sixth Divisions to reduce the pressure and jointly open a gap.For the first time, Hirata's face became solemn, and the current situation was that the number of the People's Liberation Army had far exceeded the number of Japanese troops.Although the trapped 1st Division was almost wiped out, it was difficult to tell the outcome of the battle without defending against other Chinese troops attacking like beasts."
General Yamashita Bongbun was commanding the battle in Tianhe, and he asked me to hold on for a day.As long as one day later, the battle of Tianhe will end, and General Yamashita Fengwen will inevitably command the whole army to turn around and annihilate these Zhina troops" Hirata Jiulang's heart began to fight: "As long as I can hold back these Zhina troops, victory will inevitably belong to us So, now is not the time to fight hard" Thinking of this, he immediately ordered all troops to change and retreat, so that the Chinese army could approach Huangpu.The purpose of this is not only to avoid heavy losses of their own troops, but also to allow the battle to last longer.What Kuro Hirata wants is to drag out this war for a longer period of time.Anyway, the first division was already disabled, and it was still surrounded by Japanese regiments, they couldn't run away, and Hirata Kuro was not worried at all.He now has an even greater ambition, which is to swallow up the entire First Army and completely destroy the living force of the Chinese army."
Order the artillery, immediately retreat back.When the Shina people get closer, listen to my orders and give us a hard blow" The corners of Hirata Kuro's mouth showed a cold smile.aa2705221:
