I rise from the sword

Chapter 191 Comprehensive counterattack, defeating the Japanese independent mixed first brigade
"Tom!"

"Tom tom tom tom!—"

Several 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns were fully fired, and soon the Japanese tank rushing in front of them was hit straight.

"boom!"

The powerful kinetic energy of the high-explosive armor-piercing projectile instantly penetrated the frontal armor of the Devil's tank, and after entering the interior of the Devil's tank, the projectile exploded violently.

Immediately afterwards, the heat energy generated by the explosion detonated the ammunition compartment inside the tank, where dozens of various shells and a large number of bullets were still stored.

Their explosion caused the second explosion of the devil tank.

And it's more powerful than before!
"Boom!"

But what I saw was a group of bright and dazzling red light gushing out from the body of the tank that was blown through, and went straight into the sky, followed by the deafening explosion sound.

The entire tank was blown into countless fragments, and a gust of heat blew away like a gust of wind. The solitary officers and soldiers 200 meters away clearly felt the heat in front of them, and subconsciously bent over to avoid it.

This shows how powerful the explosion is.

Some devil infantry following the devil tank were also swallowed by the raging shock wave.

They were hit by the shattered steel fragments of the tank, and they were covered in blood, and they all screamed and fell down a large piece.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!—"

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the devil tanks were also hit one after another, scrapped and broke down.

There are also some tanks that were swept by countless heavy machine gun bullets, and the driver, ammunition man, and machine gunner in the cabin were all smashed into a sieve.

At the same time, Zhao Yuting's artillery company was not far behind, pouring hot shells towards the devils' attacking crowd and covering them.

Without the threat of Devil planes and artillery, this time, they can finally let go of their hands and feet and fire recklessly.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!—"

Immediately, the entire area where the Japanese army attacked the crowd was directly blown into a sea of ​​flames.

massacre!

Under the powerful firepower of the Independent Battalion, countless little devils were blown into the sky screaming.

Seeing that all the tanks and chariots that they were most proud of had been blown up, the surviving devils felt as if the sky had collapsed. They no longer cared about moving forward, and fled in panic.

However, in the face of the dozens of artillery pieces of the independent battalion and the almost carpet bombing of 20 flying thunder cannons, where is there a safe place?
Fortunately, since Suzuki Sadajiro asked Hirata Kenkichi for tactical guidance, Hirata Kenkichi, who is cautious by nature, had a little doubt about Suzuki Sadajiro's tactical command ability and the combat effectiveness of the independent mixed first brigade.

After he sent a telegram to Taiyuan, he immediately dispatched a tactical staff officer to supervise the battle.

At this time, the Japanese tactical staff officer named Ryoaki Tanaka had arrived at the attack position of the first independent mixed brigade.

Seeing that countless imperial troops died tragically under the enemy's artillery fire, but Sadajiro Suzuki still did not give the order to move in, he couldn't help turning his head and asking: "Mr. Suzuki, this is the end of the matter, and you have no chance to form the first brigade independently." The possibility of capturing the positions of the Chinese army.

But you did not give the order to turn in for a long time, causing countless soldiers of the imperial army to die tragically under the artillery fire of the Chinese!
Did you know that you are committing a crime! "

Suzuki Sadajiro had a gloomy face, and said in a cold voice: "Baga! Ryoaki Tanaka, you are just a minor officer, how dare you talk to me like that? Are there any rules?"

The internal hierarchy of the Japanese army is extremely strict, and ordinary major officers must be extremely respectful even when facing major officers, not to mention major officers.

However, Ryoaki Tanaka was unmoved at this time. He said in a deep voice, "Suzuki-kun, although I am only a minor officer, I represent Lieutenant General Hirata!"

"The opportunity to fight is lost now, and there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. In the name of Lieutenant General Hirata, I order you to immediately order your troops to move in, and then do other plans!"

Although Hirata Ichiro was not the direct superior of Suzuki Sadajiro, he was the former commander-in-chief of the Wenshuiguan Battle, so he had the right to give any order to Suzuki Sadajiro.

Seeing that Suzuki Sadajiro still wanted to be stubborn, the Chief of Staff Nobube Watanabe hurriedly comforted him: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, what Tanaka-kun said is true, every imperial army is extremely precious to the empire, and the current opportunity to fight There is no need for us to fight with the Chinese, we should order to retreat!"

Suzuki Sadajiro knew that even if he ordered the retreat now, he would probably be sent to a military court.

But considering the long-term interests of the empire, he finally adopted Watanabe Nobu's suggestion. After taking a deep breath, he reluctantly issued an order to withdraw troops.

……

After receiving the order to retreat, the devil soldiers on the battlefield retreated as if they were being pardoned.

What alternately covering and retreating is completely nonsense at this time, how to run as fast as possible is the kingly way!

"Brothers, strike, strike, kill those bastards!"

Seeing that the Japanese army was about to retreat, Ma Gan immediately issued an order to counterattack.

"Come on, kill!"

Thousands of officers and soldiers of the independent battalion screamed and jumped out of the trench under the sound of the loud charging horn, chasing after the escaped devils.

Even the cavalry company was not far behind, and joined the pursuit team again.

At this time, the devils who had fled out had no intention of fighting any more, they just wanted to escape from this damn battlefield as soon as possible.

Without the will to fight, even if the ghost soldiers have strong fighting qualities, they are just a group of stronger prey.

Without the threat of the devil's artillery, the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion chased and killed the devil wantonly, killing the little devil's corpse everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.

The little devils of the independent mixed first brigade ran two kilometers away, and they were about to get rid of the pursuit of the independent battalion. Unexpectedly, two teams of the Eighth Route Army came out from the flanks and blocked their retreat.

After half an hour.

Surrounded by the Independence Battalion, the Eighth Route Army Independence Regiment, and the Xinyi Regiment, less than 500 people escaped from the Japanese Independent Mixed First Brigade.

The rest were all killed on the battlefield.

"Damn it, why are you still standing there? Clean up the battlefield quickly? Could it be that the brothers from the independent battalion are doing all the dirty work?"

Li Yunlong saw that his subordinates were only interested in enjoying the joy brought by the victory, so he couldn't help cursing at the top of his voice.

"Yes, Captain!"

Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and others reacted, and immediately led their Eighth Route Army soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

At this time, Ding Wei ran over with a smile from not far away, and he shouted to Li Yunlong: "Lao Li, Lao Li, let's make a big fuss this time, who do you think I caught?"

Li Yunlong thought that Ding Wei wanted to compete with him for the spoils, but after hearing this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked angrily, "Can you still catch Yoshio Shinozuka for me?"
