Kanazawa Taro, as a warrior on the battlefield, how could he not see that the Chinese army wanted to annihilate his Ninth Division in one go.
However, it was not so easy for the enemy to eat him. After the Celestial Dynasty army rushed out of the position, he ordered the first regiment in front to launch a countercharge.
In his eyes, the army of the Celestial Dynasty without a position for cover is just... a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Chapter 563 One man guards the gate, ten thousand husbands don't open
The situation on the battlefield was as Kanazawa Taro expected. After the Chinese army rushed out of the position, its combat power was instantly weakened. Even though the Japanese army was at a disadvantage, they still fought against the Chinese army. Usually, one Japanese soldier could kill two to three Celestial soldiers.
During the more than two hours of the battle, the Japanese army wiped out at least [-] soldiers from the Celestial Army, and their own casualties were less than [-].
Kanazawa Taro is not worried about the battle situation in Yangzhuang. The only thing he is worried about is the Chinese army from Wusong. According to the intelligence, first, the third regiment is completely broken. The culprit is the latest special warfare division that took over Wusong. The Special Operations Brigade and the Shanghai Expeditionary Army were completely annihilated, and have a lot to do with this force.
Regarding the equipment of this unit, we only know for the time being that it is an all-German weaponry unit, while the 87th and 88th divisions of the Celestial Army opposite him can only be counted as half German weaponry divisions.
"General."
"Dr. Matsui Iwane called and ordered my Ninth Division to quickly move closer to the No. 11 Division."
The staff officer said respectfully.
Taro Kanazawa listened to the sound of guns outside, shook his head slowly, and said: "According to the current war situation, if our army retreats, the Chinese army will chase after it. Moreover, our army of the Great Japanese Empire will never will run away."
"Return to General Matsui Iwane, saying that our troops are engaged in a fierce battle with the Chinese ace army, and that the Ninth Division is determined from top to bottom."
"Hi."
Kanazawa Taro slowly pulled out... Commanding saber, Yang Zhuang, this place may be his home.
"Order the artillery wing to bombard the Yangzhuang position."
The Ninth Division also has an artillery wing, which is actually two artillery brigades, with more than 3000 mortars and mountain guns in total, more than 40 shells, and two tank squadrons with more than [-] tanks and armored vehicles.
This is Kanazawa Taro's greatest confidence.
He stared at the battlefield ahead, a flash of madness flashed in his eyes, he wanted to fight a classic battle in Yangzhuang, which attracted the attention of the world.
"Order the chariot wing to block the flank entrance: if the Chinese army from Wusong's direction rushes over, the infantry will use tanks and armored vehicles as cover to defend on the spot."
"Hi."
The mountain depression outside Yangzhuang.
The road here is narrow and there are towering mountains on both sides.
The leading troops of the Special Warfare Division are speeding forward, passing through this canyon, and walking another three kilometers, they will arrive at Yangzhuang.
Canyon mouth.
Three Japanese tanks blocked the narrow valley entrance and completely sealed the valley entrance.
Japanese infantrymen hide behind tanks, ready to shoot.
Da da da.
When the vanguard of the special operations division approached the exit of the canyon, the Japanese tanks opened fire and the infantry fired with machine guns.
The vanguard was blocked and moved 200 meters quickly.
Qi Ming, the commander of the 2nd and 2nd Brigade, came to the front and took a look. He quickly concentrated all the artillery of the [-]nd Brigade and exited towards the canyon: "Boom, the Japanese army's iron king is very powerful, invulnerable, and the bullets did not respond. Scratching your hands, but the Japanese army Soldiers are made of flesh and blood, and in the face of powerful artillery fire, mortal flesh cannot withstand a bombardment.
The eight [-] infantry guns lined up, adjusted their positions, and fired in unison.
Boom boom boom...the exit of the canyon: only the size of a palm, a round of shells from eight [-] infantry guns blasted past, like an earthquake shaking the mountains.
The Japanese soldiers hiding behind Tie Wangba were blown to pieces.
But the Iron King Ba standing at the exit of the canyon remained motionless.
"attack."
Qi Ming commanded the vanguard to attack.
As soon as they rushed out, they were suppressed by Japanese machine gun fire and forced to retreat.
"Traveler, the little devil is guarding the exit of the canyon: the infantry can't rush through, what should I do?"
A battalion commander of the 2nd Brigade said.
"The little devil must be hiding in the valley at the exit of the canyon. Our artillery shot down the little devil behind the iron bastard, and the little devil hiding in the valley immediately filled up. Repeatedly, even if we have enough shells, sooner or later they will run out. , but the little devil can always guard the exit of the canyon:."
Qi Ming saw through the devil's plot at a glance.
"Order, extend the artillery position 300 meters forward, and bring a firepower coverage to the mountain depression at the exit of the canyon."
Qi Ming ordered.
"Artillery ready."
"Azimuth extends 300 meters."
"Reload."
Boom boom boom.
Round after round of shells were fired, and the smoke and dust rose up in the canyon and depressions, accompanied by screams and wailing.
It seems that Qi Ming's conjecture was correct, the Japanese soldiers were all ambushing in the valley area, they used this suicidal method to guard the canyon, and it did bring some troubles to the vanguard of the Special Operations Division.
However, this is not a problem. The Japanese army thought that with the help of the natural danger of the canyon, coupled with the land warfare weapon Tie Wang Ba and armored vehicles, they could block the special forces in the canyon and could not advance an inch. Little did they know, how could a small canyon block the special forces? The division has more than 1 soldiers.
"Mortars, cover the infantry charge."
Qi Ming took advantage of the infantry artillery bombarding the valley, and ordered the mortars to exit the canyon: fire the artillery to cover the infantry's charge.
Boom.
A mortar fired a round of shells.
The infantry rushed up under the cover of artillery fire. This time, they were not shot by the Japanese machine guns hidden behind the Iron King Eight, but the machine guns hidden in the Iron King Eight opened fire.
The machine gun shooting in Iron King Eight has a dead angle, as long as you avoid the shooting point of the machine gun, you can touch the exit of the canyon:.
After dropping more than a dozen corpses, the infantry gradually approached the exit of the canyon:.
The soldiers who charged ahead picked up the grenades and greeted the Japanese Iron King Bashang.
After a while, the two combat squads rushed to the exit of the canyon: they jumped onto the Iron Eight, lifted the lid of the Iron Eight, and threw grenades into the Iron Eight.
boom.
There was an explosion from Iron King Eight, and the machine gunner hidden inside was immediately reimbursed.
As the leading troops rushed over, the large troops of the 2nd and [-]nd Brigade followed up one after another.
In the valley area at the exit of the gorge, under the cover of infantry artillery, the Japanese army dropped more than 200 corpses, and the remaining 100 Japanese troops were heading towards the canyon exit: they tried their best to encircle it, but it was too late, the vanguard of the Chinese army had already crossed Canyon exit: rushing out.
The Japanese army lost the cover of the canyon and was vulnerable to a blow in front of the menacing special warfare division. The submachine guns of the vanguard opened fire, and as soon as they met, more than half of the more than 100 Japanese troops were wiped out.
Follow-up troops passed through the canyon one after another.
Because the Japanese army's Iron King Baheng was at the exit of the canyon: heavy equipment can't get through, so they can only advance lightly.
Liang Xiao led the troops directly under the division headquarters to the exit of the canyon, and immediately ordered the guards to rush to repair the Iron King Ba that was lying at the exit of the canyon.
The Japanese army put Iron King Eight across here, the purpose is to prevent heavy equipment from passing through.
Although this time supporting Yangzhuang did not bring heavy artillery and armored vehicles, but mountain artillery and [-] infantry artillery were all brought. These...... artillery cannot pass through the gorge, and the combat effectiveness of the special warfare division will be reduced Big discount.
Chapter 564 Breaking through the blockade, flanking back and forth
Yangzhuang.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese army launched a bloody battle with the Chinese army. The two sides invested large-scale troops, and the killing was inextricable.
At this time, if a surprise soldier appeared on the battlefield, it would be enough to change the situation on the battlefield.
Taro Kanazawa issued a death order to the Japanese troops in front, and those who retreat will die! He wants to defeat the frontal enemy in the shortest possible time, and then turn his guns to deal with the Chinese reinforcements in the direction of Wusong.
"Report."
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese reinforcements have broken through the canyon, and their vanguard is already approaching our flank."
"Nani"
Taro Kanazawa stared at the boss, he was at the exit of the canyon: he placed a whole infantry squadron, and there were chariots and tanks blocking the canyon entrance, how did the Chinese reinforcements break through the canyon "Your Excellency, what should we do?"
The staff officer asked anxiously.
Kanazawa Taro's face was ashen, the arrival of the reinforcements from China was enough to change the situation on the battlefield.
"It's over."
"The Ninth Division is about to end."
Kanazawa Taro muttered to himself.
"Your Excellency, Commander, do you want to retreat?"
The staff officer asked for instructions.
"No, order the front troops to storm the national army in front of Yangzhuang, and ignore the enemies on the flanks."
"The artillery intercepts the enemies on the flanks and buys time for the imperial warriors on the frontal battlefield."
Kanazawa Taro said.
"Hi."
Taro Kanazawa estimated based on the situation on the battlefield that as long as he persisted for another hour, the imperial army on the frontal battlefield would be able to defeat the national army in front of Yangzhuang and win the war. Don't let them advance half a step.
In his estimation, the enemy who came to aid could pass through the canyon, so they must have no heavy weapons. Under the powerful artillery fire of the Great Japanese Empire, they would not be able to attack for a while.
Northwest of Yangzhuang.
The leading troops of the special warfare division were less than two miles away from the Yangzhuang battlefield, but they were suppressed by Japanese artillery fire and had to stop their attack.
"Brigade, little Japan bullies us because we don't have heavy artillery and tanks, and wants to stop our army with artillery fire."
Combat staff officer said.
Qi Ming observed through the binoculars that the Yangzhuang battlefield was full of blood and corpses were strewn all over the field, and the national army was crushed and beaten by the Japanese army, and it was almost impossible to hold on.
In front, the Japanese artillery fire was extremely fierce, blocking the vanguard. If they rushed over by force, the troops would suffer heavy casualties.
Qi Ming thought for a moment, then sent a messenger to report to the division headquarters, requesting the division headquarters to send a special combat brigade to go around and attack the enemy's artillery positions.
rear.
Liang Xiao received the news from the messengers, and immediately sent the special warfare brigade to disperse into several small units, and took advantage of the Japanese artillery positions.
The mountain artillery unit directly under the division headquarters was blocked in the valley by Iron King Ba. Without heavy weapons, it was unable to engage in artillery battles with the enemy's artillery.
The mortar has a limited range and is not enough to threaten the enemy's artillery positions.
So, now we only place our hopes on the Special Operations Brigade.
after awhile.
The situation on the battlefield in Yangzhuang gradually favored the Japanese army, and the Japanese army chased the national army into the trenches.
If the fight continues like this, within an hour, the national army will undoubtedly be defeated.
A cold look flashed in Liang Xiao's eyes, the Japanese army blocked the special warfare division with artillery fire, the purpose was to defeat the national army troops on the battlefield in front of Yangzhuang.
"Master, Yangzhuang's national army is about to lose its hold."
Chief of Staff Zhou said.
Liang Xiao is not blind, he also saw that Yangzhuang's national army was dying.
However, the continuous bombardment by the Japanese artillery would inevitably cause heavy casualties if the leading troops were allowed to advance despite the artillery fire.
"Wait a minute."
Liang Xiao pinned his hopes on the Special Operations Brigade, if their sneak attack failed, they could only force their way through the enemy's artillery area, and they couldn't just watch Yangzhuang's national army be defeated.
"Teacher seat."
"Mr. Wang of the 87th Division and Mr. Sun of the 88th Division sent several telegrams urging us to move forward."
Chu Xiangxue came over with the telegram.
"Give power to the 88th Division, let their howitzers launch shelling at the Japanese artillery positions, and cover our charge."
