The third part of the bloody war of resistance, Chapter 9, the rushing flow, Section 8, the Yellow River Roaring (Thirteen)

Pingwu River is a small river that can be traversed in the southeast of Wucheng. This small river is not a naturally formed river, but an artificial canal that connects the Majia River and the Grand Canal, irrigates thousands of miles northwest of Shandong into fertile fields. This river and this land record Dou Jiande's uprising against the Sui Dynasty, Qi and Zhao Zhengxiong, and countless romantic figures. However, the battles are unprecedented and destined to be recorded in the history of the Central **.

Qiu Qingquan blocked the remnants of the First Division of the chariot that had retreated north at the pre-determined location. The reason why it was the remnants was that in order to avoid the bombing of the Chinese Air Force, Hoshino Ritomoto gave up the daytime marching and changed the marching route. He originally wanted to go to the plains, but changed to cross the Majia River and went straight to De County.

After crossing the Macha River, Hoshino Tatsumoto believed that he had been tracking the Chinese Air Force and was at ease to go north; but as soon as he crossed the Pingwu River, he met Qiu Qingquan who had been waiting for him.

Qiu Qingquan was very angry when he saw Hitomi Ritomi. According to his prediction, Hitomi Ritomi should have arrived here two days earlier, but Hitomi asked him to wait for two days, which delayed him by two days. Shi Shaoxian besieged De County and urgently needed firepower reinforcements, but Hitomi Ritomi wasted two days, a full forty-eight hours, which made Qiu Qingquan extremely angry.

When Hoshino Tatsumoto received the report, he knew that everything was irreversible. Since the Chinese tank troops were waiting for him here, it means that they were prepared and were absolutely sure to keep his tank here.

"The Mussashi tank is in front, the 97 tank is in the back, and the armored vehicle is in the end." Hoshino Tatsuo looked serious. The Mussashi tank is the No. 3 tank. After Japan introduced the No. 3 tank, it changed its name and named it after the famous samurai warrior Musashi in history.

"Tell all officers and soldiers the fate of the empire in this battle, all soldiers must perform their duties." Hoshino Tatsuo's expression was tragic, but his tone was full of fanaticism: "This is the last battle of the First Division."

On the other side of the battle formation, Qiu Qingquan was very calm. He issued an offensive order without discussing with anyone. The deployment had already been decided. After exploring the whereabouts of star Noriyuan, Qiu Qingquan formulated a combat plan.

In his plan, the two tank divisions of the First Tank Army of the Mechanized First Army had a total of 670 tanks and 83 self-propelled artillery, which did not include dozens of tanks and self-propelled artillery lost in Liaocheng; the first tank division was all T34 tanks, and this tank division was placed on the front, responsible for breaking through and disrupting the Japanese front; the second division was all Sherman tanks, and his two brigades attacked from left to right, responsible for encircling the two wings of the Japanese army.

In addition, the Second Armored Division and Anti-tank Regiment, which are all composed of motorized infantry, are deployed on the periphery, responsible for intercepting the Japanese army that escaped the net.

Qiu Qingquan was determined to bury all the chariot 1st Division here, the battlefield he chose.

Chinese tanks have an overwhelming advantage, both in quantity and mass, the T34 and Sherman tanks are much stronger than Japanese tanks.

The tank was approaching at high speed, and Chiang Wei-kuo rushed in the front. Looking at the Japanese tanks getting closer and closer in the scope, he couldn't suppress his excitement and screamed. This time he could get the forward, it was Chiang Kai-shek. After he sent a call to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek called Qiu Qingquan directly and ordered Chiang Wei-kuo to serve as the forward in the next battle.

"put"

With Jiang Weiguo's order, the shells roared out, and a red light appeared on the tank opposite. Jiang Weiguo did not continue to observe at all. The various technical indicators of the Japanese tank had already been mastered. Now, at this distance, he was the only one who fought the Japanese, and the Japanese did not have the power to fight back.

"Slow down, slow down, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let go"

"Stop moving forward. Free shooting" Jiang Weiguo ordered that all the tanks on the front line stopped, and the muzzles were slightly turned, and a row of muzzles pointed directly to the opposite side. The shells roared out, and more than a dozen tanks on the opposite side exploded and caught fire almost at the same time.

The brigade commander's call came from the "Tiger Tiger" phone: "You block the road and block the road and don't stop, charge immediately and go around behind them."

"Yes" Despite different opinions, Jiang Weiguo did not argue. It must be implemented unconditionally at this time, even if he is Chiang Kai-shek's son, it would not work.

The tanks began to charge, and the two sides began to approach, and the shells exploded beside them. When the tank was shocked, Jiang Weiguo sneered. In terms of his familiarity with the No. 3 tank, he was probably more familiar than the Japanese. He drove this kind of tank to rush on the land of Poland.

"I want to break through this kind of junk, dream." Jiang Weiguo seemed to care nothing at all, but the Japanese could hit him, which made him very angry. When he turned the turret, he saw a tank rushing straight towards him.

Jiang Weiguo quickly locked in, then destroyed it with one shot, and then scolded him hatefully.

This is not a duel of equal power. Japanese tanks soon discovered that their tank guns could not penetrate Chinese tanks at all. The tankers were desperate to approach Chinese tanks. A tank directly crashed into Chinese tanks. The tanks that were driving at high speed were knocked over.

This move was immediately imitated by many Japanese tanks. Japanese tanks either pulled the distance to the closest or directly hit the Chinese tanks that were rushing to the Japanese tank front and six or seven tanks were knocked over in succession.

Looking down from the sky, two steel dragons strangled together, and tanks flying the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag gradually surrounded the Sun Flag from three sides. The steel dragon guided by the Sun Flag clashed left and right in the trap of the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag, trying to break a gap, but the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag always held them tightly. No matter how they collided, they were shattered by the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag.

"Tele to the Beijing North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters that neither the Mussashi tank nor the Type 97 tank can penetrate the Chinese tanks, and the empire needs more powerful tanks."

When he found that the No. 3 tank could not penetrate the Chinese tank, Hoshino Tatsumoto was desperate. He jumped into his command vehicle and drove the command vehicle to rush towards the battlefield. He felt like Yukihiko Sanada during the Battle of Summer in Osaka. Faced with a desperate situation, he launched a charge of death. Sanada wrote down his name with a war knife, and he wanted to use artillery to engrave his name in Japanese military history.

"Boom" "Boom"

The 75-mm shells flying out of the Sherman tank exploded on the Japanese artillery position in the distance. The sudden attack caused some chaos in the Japanese army. The artillery that was supporting the battle in front of the army with artillery fire suddenly collapsed.

The defense of the defender's position was very weak. The mechanized infantry that should have followed the army was far behind, and most of their vehicles were lost in the air raids along the way.

The telescope was covered by smoke, but Qiu Qingquan never let it go. A smug smile was hanging on the corner of his mouth. More than two hours have passed and the battle is about to end. The troops attacking from the flanks have seized the Japanese reserve base.

The reserve base stores the last oil from the Japanese army. The tank is a tiger that eats oil. If it loses this oil, Qiu Qingquan estimated that the Japanese army will only start for an hour at most, and then it will be his spoils.

Putting down the telescope, Qiu Qingquan finally jumped out of the command car. After hearing this, Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenyu in the car stretched out his head and looked at him, then retracted without a sound.

"Get a cup of coffee." Qiu Qingquan was in a very good mood and asked the adjutant to order it. Then he pulled a chair and sat next to the command car, and took his feet on the car. The hobby of drinking coffee was not developed in Germany, but was influenced by American consultants in Mianyang.

The adjutant quickly brought a cup of coffee. Qiu Qingquan was a little surprised. You should know that there was no instant coffee at this time. The coffee beans must be ground freshly, and the time it took would not be short. He glanced at the adjutant, and the adjutant smiled proudly. Qiu Qingquan understood that the adjutant had already expected that whenever he won, Qiu Qingquan always tasted a cup of coffee in a happy mood.

"Old Zhao, stop busy. Hoshino Rito can no longer run away. Today's coffee is good, come and try it."

Zhao Zhenyu jumped out of the car and walked to Qiu Qingquan. The adjutant brought the chair. Zhao Zhenyu pulled Qiu Qingquan to the side and looked at his face and said, "Don't be too happy too early. The commander has ordered us to attack Dexian. There are less than two thousand devils in Dexian. They can be taken down with just one charge. In this way, the entire battle situation will be in our control. It will take these two days. After the war, how the commander will deal with us? We have to think about it carefully."

Of course, the commander in Zhao Zhenyu's words did not refer to him Qiu Qingquan. Qiu Qingquan smiled dismissively and said, "It's nothing, the commander is easy to talk to. After all, we have annihilated the first Japanese chariot division. The Japanese army in Dexian is not worth worrying about. It's no big deal to take it down with just one charge. It's no big deal, and it can't be missed."

Qiu Qingquan was wrong. The Japanese army had only lasted for more than twenty minutes and completely collapsed. The remaining tanks wanted to turn around and escape, but the retreat had been cut off by the Second Division, and the fighting will of the Japanese soldiers completely collapsed. In these more than two hours of battle, they were like lambs to be slaughtered, ravaged by others.

The blue sky and white sun flag surrounded Japanese tanks, and the remaining twenty tanks were divided into four or five places. The Chinese chariot commander poked out half of his body on the turret and looked indifferently at the Japanese soldiers crawling out of the chariot. They lined up and saluted the east together, then pulled out their daggers to cut themselves.

"The Second Tank Division and the Second Mechanized Infantry Division are ordered to find and annihilate the remnants of the First Division of the Japanese War Tanks, and no one person can escape the net."

"After the First Tank Division replenished the oil, set off immediately and asked the Communist bandits, where are they now?"

In a tank battle, Qiu Qingquan was proud of his sacrificing orders and immediately issued a series of orders, but the title of Chen G's Eighth Route Army was still the same.

Chen G's telegram came back soon, and the Eighth Route Army and the 101st Army had moved to an area twenty kilometers west of De County.

In Toku Prefecture, an important town on the Jinpu Road, the Japanese defenders are still Kataoka United, but now there are only more than 1,600 people in the entire corps. Kataoka handed Toku Prefecture to the Imperial Army to defend, and all the Japanese troops were concentrated in the core positions. This fortress was built by Kataoka Nakajima and him back then. Whether it can be defended until reinforcements arrive depends on this fortress built by steel and cement.
