On the stone bridge of the Nansha River, a large number of draft horses struggled to drag the artillery pieces to the other side of the river. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, these artillery pieces are still crossing the river.

Lieutenant Colonel Haruji Taniguchi, commander of the 10th Field Artillery Regiment, was helpless. He also wanted to rush forward immediately to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the enemy troops.

But because the troops were too clumsy, he could only follow at the rear. At this moment, bursts of rumbling artillery sounds suddenly came from the south.

Hearing this, all the Japanese were shocked. They were all cannon players, and they could tell from the sound that it was at least the sound of hundreds of artillery firing at the same time.

And the only ones who can do this are the large forces of the 98th Army. Have they encountered the large forces of the 98th Army?

When he thought of this, Taniguchi Haruji's expression suddenly changed, and then he said loudly: "Everyone should speed up the march, the troops in front need our support."

After receiving his order, the Japs quickly sped up their movements. Some Japs began to whip their horses, and the troop's speed across the bridge immediately increased.

At this time, Haruji Taniguchi suddenly heard the roar of an engine coming from the west of the bridge, and these roars were getting closer and closer to them.

Haruji Taniguchi quickly looked in the direction of the sound. At this time, he found that a large number of tanks not far away were rushing towards this direction like a tide.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but screamed in fright: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!! Everyone, prepare to fight!!!"

In fact, many Japanese soldiers discovered these tanks without his orders.

Seeing so many tanks, many Japanese soldiers were scared to death. Why did so many tanks suddenly appear in the west?

They quickly untied the artillery pieces from behind the draft horses, and then tried to take out the ammunition from the trucks behind.

But it's too late!

These tanks attacked the artillerymen like a whirlwind. The tank guns roared crazily, and they quickly fired shells one after another into the Japanese troops, and then there were continuous big explosions.

Some draft horses were directly killed alive by these explosions, and then fell to the ground and whined helplessly.

The other draft horses were so frightened that they screamed and tried to escape. If it weren't for the stiff ropes, the Japanese might have been knocked into the air by these draft horses.

Some little devils reacted in time. They took out their rifles and shot at the tanks desperately. But all they did was in vain. The only thing their bullets could do was hit the tanks and make a clanging sound.

The sound was then bounced off by those armors.

Some tanks rushed into the Japs' team and started a rampage. They kept firing while ramming into the Japs, and then forced a bloody path through the crowd.

Some tanks stopped and then fired towards the other side of the river. The shells quickly fell on the Japanese troops on the other side, causing a bloody storm.

Some trucks carrying artillery shells were hit by these artillery shells, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion. The nearby Japanese were either killed alive by these explosions, or they were blown up into the sky by these explosions. They took a trip on a clay plane.

.

Seeing this, Taniguchi Haruji seemed to have thought of something. Then he screamed loudly: "Blow up this bridge! Blow up this bridge!"

But what he said was too late. A tank quickly rushed onto the bridge, and then it rushed straight to the other end of the bridge.

The draft horses on the bridge were either knocked off the bridge or crushed into a piece of meat. When it reached the other side of the river, the entire bridge became muddy.

Then it quickly opened fire and strafed at the Japs on the other end, leaving those Japs in a state of panic.

Soon another tank rushed across the bridge. Seeing this, Araki said with a sad face: "It's over! Everything is over!"

When a group of tanks rushed into the unprepared artillery team, it was definitely a massacre, a naked massacre!

Not long after, another group of tanks rushed over from the lower reaches of the river, and they quickly joined the massacre. In less than thirty minutes, almost all of the Japanese were slaughtered. Those who could escape were absolutely ten.

Not one remains.

After Zhang Lingfu saw this, he was a little moved, thinking about how difficult it was for them to eliminate a Japanese group.

But now, it doesn't even take thirty minutes to destroy a Japanese artillery regiment.

At this moment, a messenger ran over.

"Report to the brigade, our reconnaissance plane has sent news. A large number of enemy troops are fleeing towards our army. They are less than two kilometers away from us."

"Inform the entire army immediately and everything will be carried out according to the original plan."

Zhang Lingfu said quickly.

"As you command, sir."

After receiving Zhang Lingfu's order, an armored infantry, a T34 tank company and a No. 3 assault gun company quickly began to set up defenses on the north bank of the Nansha River. They would resist the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Teng County, so as not to affect their encirclement and suppression of this Japanese army.

.

The remaining troops quickly launched an attack on the fleeing Japs. When these Japs with few heavy weapons encountered Zhang Lingfu's armored troops, their results could be imagined.

"Why is this happening? Am I wrong?"

When the hundreds of heavy artillery of the 98th Army kept roaring and fired shells one after another into the Japanese ranks, Isotani Rensuke knew that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.

He believed too much in the Japanese propaganda that meat bombs would definitely defeat steel bombs, he also overestimated their bushido spirit, and he underestimated the 98th Army too much.

When he saw a large number of artillery shells exploding continuously among the Japanese troops, he knew that he could not be a match for this enemy because the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce.

In the face of such fierce artillery fire, his men had almost no power to fight back.

Coupled with those endless armored troops, he really had no chance of winning.

So he made a decision quickly.

"Retreat! Order all troops to retreat immediately! In addition, notify Ishizaki's brigade to retreat. Tell him to block the enemy's attack no matter what."

"By the way. Also notify the Engineer Regiment and the Troops Regiment to come as quickly as possible to support us."

Isotani Rensuke kept shouting loudly as if he was crazy.

At this critical moment, the engineer and baggage regiments, which he usually didn't see much use in, became his life-saving straw.

After issuing this series of orders, he, Kei Setani and others retreated faster than when they came.

After receiving this order, Ishizaki Shingo could only smile bitterly. He knew that this time he might really live or die.

Facing the huge torrent of tanks and the fierce bombardment of hundreds of heavy artillery of the 189th Division, he absolutely did not think that he could withstand the enemy's attack.

But as a soldier, all he could do was obey orders. So he led the soldiers in their brigade and began to set up defenses, hoping to use his own life to stop the 189th Division's attack.

But facing the tidal attack of the 189th Division, they only caused a little trouble for the 189th Division's attack, and then were quickly overwhelmed by the 189th Division.

After eliminating the almost fly-like Ishizaki Brigade, the 189th Division quickly moved forward again.

Rensuke Isotani was sitting in a car and desperately fled in the direction of Fuji County. A large number of artillery shells exploded continuously in the ranks of the Japanese, and then took away the lives of the Japanese one after another.

Thick black smoke from the explosion rose into the sky, making the entire battlefield look like the end of the world.

At this moment, Isotani Rensuke felt extremely regretful. If there was a regret medicine in this world, he would definitely buy one without hesitation.

So he said to Kei Setani who was sitting next to him: "Setani-kun, I was wrong this time. I am the sinner of the 10th Division."

Setani Kei glanced at him, but didn't know what to say.

Isotani Rensuke was right. Without him, he underestimated the enemy and advanced. Maybe the 10th Division would have been defeated, but it would never have been so disastrous.

Kensuke Isotani is indeed the sinner of the 10th Division. It was he who single-handedly pushed the 10th Division into the abyss.

At this moment, the car they were riding in stopped, and then came the rumbling sound of cannons.

"Bagaya Road! What happened in the front?"

Isotani Rensuke said angrily, and at this moment a soldier ran over in a panic.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Division Commander, a large number of enemy armored units have been found in the front, and we are surrounded."

"What did you say? This is impossible! This is impossible!!"

Isotani Rensuke said with disbelief, when did the enemy surround them? How could he not know!

He grabbed the soldier by the collar and said to him fiercely: "You are lying to me, right? You must be lying to me, right??"

The soldier was almost frightened when he saw Isotani Rensuke's hysterical expression. He hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, division commander, what I said is true. There are indeed many enemy troops in front of our army."

Armored Corps. I swear everything I said is true!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please stay calm. Should we order the troops to rush over quickly?"

Kei Setani saw that Rensuke Isotani was a little confused, so he quickly said to him.

After listening to Setani Kei's words, Isotani Rensuke calmed down and said to him: "You are right, quickly order the 39th Infantry Regiment, 40th Infantry Regiment and 10th Cavalry Regiment to attack the enemy immediately.

Launch the most violent attack. Tell them that they must break through the enemy's defense line as quickly as possible, otherwise everyone will die."

"Hi!"

After receiving the order from Isoya Rensuke, the Japanese, led by dozens of armored vehicles, immediately launched a tidal wave of attacks on Zhang Lingfu's 570th Brigade.

Now they all know that if they want to survive, they must break through the enemy's obstruction in front of them, otherwise they are likely to die without a burial place.

So they all let out an almost desperate howl, and then rushed forward with great ferocity.

The trapped beast is undoubtedly very ferocious, and the little devil in desperate situation is definitely a hundred times more ferocious than the trapped beast.

Zhang Lingfu did not dare to be careless in the face of the little devil who was planning to fight. At this time, he thought of a weapon in his hand-the Katyusha rocket launcher! (To be continued...)
