Chapter 208: The Iron and Steel Torrent in Defending Nanjing

The early morning of May 4, 1937 was undoubtedly a tragic nightmare for the 6th Division of the Japanese Army! They once again encountered the nemesis of Chengde who fought bloody battle with him, the elite Tiger Ben, and the temporary assembly of the First Mechanized Division, in addition to the four broken jackal tanks, they invested 71 jackal tanks, ninety-five hunting dog armored vehicles and semi-track multi-function assault vehicles, and formed two dense assault clusters on the front of a highway. A regiment of the First Mechanized Brigade was equipped with a half-track multi-function assault vehicle to fight with cover.

However, the First Mechanized Division is no longer the unit that Chengde could only defend the passively beaten force back then. When the Japanese cavalry squadrons were all falling down under the strait of jackal light tanks, many Japanese soldiers who were resting stood up curiously and tiptoed to look at the gunfire and explosions from the distance?

Tokuta Sakai's expression was a bit strange. Such dense gun sounds and machine gun sounds were obviously not the firepower that a reconnaissance cavalry squadron could possess. Shimoda's cavalry squadron was only equipped with two grenade launchers and a 60mm mortar. The brigade was light and rushed forward. The affiliated field artillery brigade was still on the way with the division headquarters. I'm afraid that it hasn't reached Jurong yet, right?

Could it be the *** Army? Tokuta Sakai was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. The *** Army actually dared to launch a counterattack? Could it be the blocking position of that army? It takes at least a few divisions of the *** Army to have such a group of artillery groups, but the sound of this artillery seems a bit weird? It is not like howitzers or mountain artillery?

Sakai Tokuta suddenly remembered that there was an intelligence that showed that the *** people had a chariot unit in Nanjing? It was the sound of the chariot cannons? In an instant, Sakai Tokuta shouted with a pale face: "Order everyone to be on the spot and prepare for battle!"

If Tokuta Sakai was so scared that he peed his pants, this is all a compliment to a female student who was stolen twenty minutes ago. The violent girl almost bit off Tokuta Sakai's nose!

When the Japanese soldiers were at a loss to find a suitable hidden location, the jackal light tank assault cluster of the Mechanized Brigade appeared in front of the Japanese army's naked eyes.

The Japanese officers and soldiers stared at the gray chariots moving at extremely fast speed hundreds of meters away, as if the day was to atone for the crimes they had committed these days had come.

Organize a stand-up team immediately, and experienced Japanese officers even took the lead in hanging large bundles of *** or 91 grenades on their bodies! Look! The *** chariot is so fast!

Before the Japanese army could prepare to gather, seventy-one jackal tanks fired three rounds of marching, heading machine guns and parallel machine guns were firing violently at the Japanese army concentrated on both sides of the road, and the bullets caused a burst of blood mist among the Japanese soldiers.

The jackal-style light tank that flew at a speed of 55 kilometers per hour caught the Japanese army off guard because the limited team members and the chance to rush towards these steel monsters. The jackal-style was not the slow-moving Japanese army, nor the thin-skinned Type 95. The Nine-One Grenade did not harm it at all, especially the jackal-style light tanks were all equipped with protective skirts and engine protection covers.

A jackal light tank numbered 052 was rushed from the front by a Japanese captain covered with grenades. After the bombing, the jackal tank's periscope and Zhoushimiao were blocked by the broken corpse of the Japanese captain. The 052 jackal light tank, which had lost its vision, immediately broke away from its original route of advance. The captain who was eager to clean up the Zhoushimiao was hit by the Japanese army when he lifted the top cover of the turret and leaned over. Blood flowed along the body and the driver Feng Chao.

In order to avoid collisions, several tanks on the side slowed down and gave way to Car 052. As a result, Car 052 drove into the side of the road where the Japanese infantry were ambushing. The violent bumps and screams outside the car confused Feng Chao and hit the Japanese army. However, Feng Chao still stepped on the accelerator and pushed the forward hand rod forward desperately. Amid the roar of the Maybach engine, the 052 jackal light tank was finally stuck after the bumpy forward for more than 100 meters! Feng Chao, who took off the P-30 submachine gun from the weapon stand, wanted to open the exit at the bottom, but failed. He could only drag the captain's body down with the gunner and the communications soldier.

After opening the top cover, Feng Chao sideways and shoots at the Japanese army who are desperately running away, and lifts the broken body of the previous Japanese captain. After commanding the communications soldiers to shoot with a heading machine gun, Feng Chao turns around and spits out with a wow!

Within a long distance of 100 meters behind the 052 car, at least hundreds of bloody corpses were crushed to the ground, with broken bodies and internal organs everywhere, and the broken heads were like a broken watermelon. It turned out that the previous bumps crushed the Japanese ambushed soldiers ambushed on the side of the road. Too many forearms, thigh bones, hands and feet were wrapped in the tracks. Even with a protective skirt, it was difficult to prevent foreign objects from being caught in. The guide wheel was stuck tightly. Feng Chao and the other three vomited while using tools to pick the bones and foreign objects between the guide wheels.

The commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade, Tokuta Sakai was very lucky to be sieve by a jackal tank machine gun, because the clever brigade commander rode a war horse to escape. In the eyes of Chinese armored soldiers, this guy's trousers with red pants and samurai swords, as well as the rare large-brimmed hat, were definitely worth stopping and storing.

Sakai Tokuta can be said to be happy because he did not die under the crushing of the tracks, nor did he draw his gun to commit suicide in despair, nor did he see the collapse of his own troops with his own eyes.

After the Japanese army's three-way marching column was drilled through by jackal light tanks, the 11th Japanese infantry brigade had already collapsed. The troops that were originally ambushed on the flanks were preparing to make a last try, but were accidentally invaded by a chariot, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were crushed into meat mud.

What will it feel like if a human body is hit and crushed by a tank that is more than 22 tons of tanks advancing at a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour? A bundle of nine-one grenades can only add some so-called paint to the opponent's chariot with black plasters and flesh. This is complete despair. The performance of the chariot of the chariot has obviously exceeded the imagination and acceptance of the chariot.

The forty-minute attack caused the Japanese army's entire reinforced infantry brigade of more than 8,000 people to be completely defeated, and there were hunting dog armored vehicles and jackal light tanks everywhere. The two brigades that followed were basically the cleaning of the battlefield. The 11th Japanese Infantry Brigade did not have suitable anti-tank weapons at all. Unlike the infantry brigade of the temporary First Mechanized Division, which was equipped with a certain number of anti-tank rifles.

However, facing the overall forging of the 50 mm alloy reinforced by the jackal, and the hollow ten mm thick front armor attached to the diaphragm, as well as the 35 mm thick side armor, the ten mm skirt and the 30 mm tail armor, the anti-tank rifle has almost no effect on the jackal light tank, but it has a huge threat and lethality to the top medium tanks and the 95 light tanks equipped by the Japanese army.

After Qiu Qingquan arrived at the battlefield, he met Chen Yuxing, Hao Wenbin, Ye Yunfei and others who were vomiting collectively, especially the "flesh and blood path" created by the 052 crew! About 400 Japanese soldiers were crushed to the ground, and the broken corpses were crushed to the shape of an uninhabited person by the thirty-cm track of the jackal light tank. Qiu Qingquan couldn't figure it out? Are the *** people lacked their minds? The chariots were crushed and climbed on the ground and stood firmly? They didn't even know how to avoid it?

In fact, Qiu Qingquan underestimated the cultivation quality and dogmatic stereotypes of the *** army. If someone dared to expose his target during the lurking situation, he would be killed and executed on the spot. Without the order of the superior officer, the Japanese troops lurking on the other side of the road, preparing to attack on the side could only climb on the ground and stand firm.

However, it is really difficult for Qiu Qingquan to understand the reason for this crazy intention? Qiu Qingquan didn't know that in fact, on the Pacific battlefield of World War II, there was a record of the entire Japanese brigade being burned by the US military with flamethrowers and incendiary bombs during the lurking process. In fact, the US military was just doing routine fire reconnaissance. The US military discovered the smell of barbecue after burning. After checking, it was discovered that a whole brigade of Japanese troops had lurked under their noses. It can be said that the elite Japanese troops who had lost their personal emotions and reason were armed by the Bushido spirit. In terms of rigid minds, they were the world's number one. The desperation spirit used by their officers and soldiers to sacrifice themselves is no worse than Huang Jiguang who sacrificed himself to block the bunkers and Qiu Shaoyun who burned fire in later generations!

However, it took only an hour to defeat the Japanese army's infantry brigade, a fully-organized elite division of the A-type division? This was a battle that Qiu Qingquan could not imagine before. In Qiu Qingquan's impression, this battle would last at least until noon before returning to the finals. At least two subsequent so-called motorized infantry brigades pressed up to launch a general attack. Tanks and armored vehicles were always equipped with infantry.

Qiu Qingquan looked at the messy battlefield and the large number of abandoned corpses of the Japanese army. The tanks that were parked in the pile of corpses were repaired. The Japanese tenacity also brought great shock to Qiu Qingquan, Hao Wenbin and others! It is said that four members of the crew in six or seven tanks were all stunned by the explosion of meat bombs rushed up by the Japanese army.

The tenacity of the *** people is obvious? Especially before the Japanese army disintegrated, they almost fell into a crazy counterattack. Some Japanese army even held two Type 91 grenades and drilled straight under the chariot. If the jackal light tank was not fast, with good protection and fierce firepower, the result would be really difficult to predict.
