"Forward!" Xu Rui was in the tank and issued an attack order through the vehicle-mounted radio equipment. More than ninety tanks rushed into the herd like tigers and rushed towards the Japanese infantry regiment.
"Forward! Forward!"
Xu Rui's tank took the lead and rushed to the front. From a distance, he saw a group of Japanese cavalry rushing toward the tank. These Japanese cavalry held their sabers high, yelled, and rushed toward the tank.
Xu Rui grinned, revealing his white teeth, and shouted: "Fire!"
"Boom!"
Tank shells fell one after another in the ranks of the Japanese cavalry. For a moment, the Japanese cavalry was in great confusion. The momentum of the forward charge was broken. Many war horses ran around because they were afraid of gunfire and stopped charging forward.
But Xu Rui commanded the tank to take advantage of this opportunity to move closer. The next moment, rows of vehicle-mounted machine gun bullets continued to fire at the Japanese cavalry like a heavy rain and strong wind.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Nearly a hundred vehicle-mounted machine guns continued to spit out tongues of fire, mowing down the Japanese cavalry one by one.
"Onboard!"
Although most of the Japanese cavalry were knocked down, there were still dozens of Japanese soldiers who broke through the blockage of the machine guns and successfully came to the tank. However, these Japanese soldiers were at a loss when they came closer, facing the huge steel body of T34. , they simply don’t know where to start.
A Japs slashed at the tank with the saber in their hands. There was a snap, sparks shot out, and the saber broke into two pieces. The next moment, the tank rushed forward, knocking the Japs cavalry away from their horses. The Japs cavalry He rolled twice on the ground, and before he could get up, another tank had already rolled over him...
"Onboard!"
Several Japanese cavalrymen took out their rifles and shot at the tank, only to see sparks splashing on the tank.
"What a stupid little devil!"
Xu Rui immediately asked Zhuo Ligetu to open fire. After a string of machine gun bullets, several Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.
A Japanese soldier held a grenade and threw it at the tank.
boom!
There was a loud noise, but the tank did nothing. Instead, it rushed directly towards the Japanese, violently knocking the Japanese and their horses away.
This was a one-sided massacre. A complete cavalry regiment of the Japanese, with hundreds of people riding on them, had no power to fight back in front of the tanks. This scene reminded people of the Polish battlefield, where the Polish cavalry went to the battlefield with their flesh and blood. The German tanks made a desperate charge, and finally fell into a pool of blood.
In less than twenty minutes, a complete cavalry regiment of the Japanese was killed. Xu Rui's rapid assault force continued to advance forward without any intention of stopping, and violently attacked the division headquarters and infantry regiment of the 18th Japanese Division. .
The Eighteenth Japanese Division, codenamed Kiku, was reestablished on September 9, 1937. It was organized in Kurume and had three infantry regiments, namely the 55th Omura Regiment, the 56th Kurume Regiment and the 114th Fukuoka Regiment. , participated in the war of aggression against China and was the first to capture Guangzhou. The division commander was Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Lianye.
Mutaguchi Lian is also an old enemy of the Chinese. During the July 7th Incident, he was the captain of the First Regiment of the Infantry Brigade of the Chinese Garrison Army. It was he who gave the order to open fire on the Chinese garrison stationed in Wanping. Mutaguchi Lian Zhonglian even fired the first shot himself, thus provoking the "July 7th Incident". For this reason, Emperor Hirohito personally awarded him the Golden Eagle Order of the Third Class and promoted him to major general. In April 1941, Mutaguchi Ren also became the division commander of the 18th Division.
At this time, Mutaguchi Lian also frowned. The news that the rear guard's baggage regiment and artillery regiment had been completely wiped out had reached his ears. Therefore, Mutaguchi Lian also sent out the cavalry regiment, preparing to investigate. The enemy's strength in the rear was unknown. In less than half an hour, his cavalry regiment was completely wiped out.
However, the sacrifice of the cavalry regiment was not in vain, and Mutaguchi Lian finally understood that the opponent he faced was a mechanized tank force.
Mutaguchi Lian was also shocked. He had never heard that the Soviet Far Eastern Front had a large-scale tank force before. It seemed that the Soviet Far Eastern Front still hid its strength. What he hit must be the main force of the Far Eastern Front.
No wonder this enemy army wiped out two of its own regiments in one night. All its forces must be concentrated to destroy it.
Thinking of this, Mutaguchi Renya immediately ordered the 55th Omura Regiment, the 56th Kurume Regiment and the 114th Fukuoka Regiment to attack and advance immediately, and must annihilate this Soviet army.
However, not long after the order was issued, Mutaguchi Ren also received news that the 55th Omura Regiment had been defeated after an hour of fighting with this enemy force. The defeated troops were coming south, which shocked the 114th Fukuoka Regiment. In this formation, the two regiments could not gain a foothold, so they had to retreat all the way and fled towards the location of the Kurume regiment.
Mutaguchi Lian was so angry that he called the chief officers of the two regiments useless. Chief of Staff Hatano Taro said: "General, you must find a way to prevent the defeat, otherwise once the defeat affects the Kurume Regiment, the entire 18th Division will be finished.
Mutaguchi Lian also felt fierce and said: "Immediately order the 56th Regiment to organize defense on the spot and not allow the enemy to cross its defense line."
"But your Excellency, General, now that the defeated troops are about to hit the defense line of the 56th Kurume Regiment, we must take necessary measures to maintain the position and stop the defeat." Hatano Taro said.
"If the defeated troops attack the Kurume Alliance's position, then... shoot without distinction!" Mutaguchi Renya said.
Hatano Taro couldn't help but tremble, thinking that General Mutaguchi was really decisive. He even cut off his own wrists and opened fire on his own people. He understood that this was the only way to prevent the entire division from being defeated.
Thinking of this, Hatano Taro bent down and said: "Hai!"
Colonel Inagaki Saburo was the captain of the Kurume Regiment. After receiving orders from Mutaguchi Renya, Inagaki Saburo immediately ordered the troops to organize defenses on the spot and dig fortifications.
However, before the soldiers could complete the fortifications, the defeated troops of the Omura Regiment and Fukuoka Regiment had arrived in the distance.
Inagaki Saburo immediately asked the soldiers to set up the machine guns, then took a loudspeaker and shouted: "You cowards, go back and fight the enemy immediately!"
These broken soldiers had obviously heard Inagaki Saburo's cry, but no one paid attention to him. No one believed that Inagaki Saburo's soldiers would actually shoot. How could the same imperial army shoot at their own people
Seeing that the defeated troops in the distance did not listen to him at all and just kept running towards his position, Inagaki Saburo's eyes flashed coldly. He knew that decisive measures must be taken. Since there was an order from the top, then forget it Even if something happened, someone would be there. Thinking of this, Inagaki Saburo waved his hand and shouted: "Shoot!"
However, the expected gunfire did not sound. These soldiers looked at each other, they were unable to kill their own people at all.
"idiot!"
Saburo Inagaki's eyes turned red. He pushed away the machine gun shooter beside him who was manipulating the heavy machine gun. He held the heavy machine gun in his hand and pulled the trigger.
The next moment, a string of dazzling and gorgeous demon flowers spurted out from the muzzle of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, mowing down the row of broken soldiers at the front.
Seeing their commanders firing in person, each of these Japanese soldiers' eyes turned red, and they roared and fired at the opposite side. Some couldn't bear it and closed their eyes directly, but they still kept pulling the triggers with their fingers.
One by one, the Japanese were knocked to the ground by their own bullets, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolf howling could be heard endlessly.
"You cowards, anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
Inagaki Saburo once again picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.
"go ahead!"
At this time, Xu Rui's tank troops continued to advance. In order to psychologically shock the Japanese, Xu Rui asked all the tanks to sound their sirens. The piercing sirens echoed in the air. For a moment, no one could tell what was going on. How many tanks were there? Each of these Japanese soldiers was frightened out of their wits and completely lost their fighting spirit. The ones behind them ran forward, but the ones in front were shot back by their own people and ran back. In the end, the two regiments had more than 6,000 tanks. People are all crowded in the middle area, crowded and connected.
Naturally, Xu Rui would not let go of this great opportunity to annihilate the Japs, and immediately ordered all tanks to fire at the Japs gathering area.
In an instant, artillery roared, smoke rose everywhere, and screams continued. Almost every time a gun went down, at least a few, or even a dozen, Japanese soldiers were killed and injured. At this time, the Japanese soldiers finally realized that moving forward now was also death. Retreating was also death, so many Japs once again mustered up the courage to kill the tanks in the rear.
However, after a long period of escape, the Japs' heavy weapons were almost completely lost, and many Japs were even bare-handed. However, they had no choice.
"Onboard!"
Countless Japs roared in despair and rushed towards Xu Rui's tank.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
With loud roars, the tank's on-board machine gun began to fire non-stop, knocking down the charging Japanese to the ground one by one. The tanks kept moving forward, firing while chasing and crushing the Japanese.
"Long Live His Majesty the Emperor!"
A Japanese soldier rushed towards the tank on the opposite side with a grenade.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The tank's machine gun let out a series of roars, and the muzzle flash was like a gorgeous demon flower, constantly flashing with dazzling light, knocking the Japanese to the ground. Then, the tank moved forward again, crushing the Japanese directly. Go over and crush this devil into a bloody mass...
The setting sun was like blood, and the battlefield finally calmed down. Almost all the six thousand Japanese soldiers were killed. The entire battlefield had become a Shura hell. Countless broken corpses were scattered across the vast land. The originally white snowfield had turned into dots of crimson. It seemed It's so dazzling.
Xu Rui opened the tank cover and looked at this scene coldly, his eyes full of determination and calmness. This is war, and it is destined to be a river of blood. Xu Rui has long been used to this kind of scene, and his eyes have been fixed on it. In the distance, there, the remaining Japanese soldiers of the 18th Division have dug fortifications and are waiting for them. A new war is about to begin!
