Chapter 22 Prelude to Air Combat!

There are white clouds in the blue sky, and the captain of the 9th Cavalry Regiment, Moriyago Sixth Colonel, is leading his men quickly toward Chunhua Town.

When he received the order to go to Chunhua Town to support the 18th Infantry Brigade, he was very happy, because then he could fight with the 189th Division.

Whenever he thinks of one of his cavalry squadrons being wiped out by several tanks of the 189th Division, he will feel very angry.

This is simply his biggest shame. This time he must teach the 189th Division a lesson and let them know how powerful he is, Mori Yagoro.

The wind whistled past his ears. Although the temperature in Nanjing was now close to zero, he didn't feel the cold at all as he was rushing to Chunhua Town.

At this time, a plane flew over in the distance. He quickly took out his telescope and looked at it, and found that it was his own plane. This made him smile. The sky in Nanjing was indeed the world of the Japanese Empire.

But soon something puzzled him. He saw the plane hovering in the sky in front of him at low altitude, and then slowly lowered its altitude, as if it was observing something. What did it want to do?

He slowly lowered his horse down. At this time, the plane suddenly dived to the ground. This surprised him. Is he crazy?

But what happened next dispelled his doubts. A series of cannon bullets were shot into the sky, blowing up the plane.

Seeing this, a bone-chilling chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

There is an ambush ahead! That plane is risking its life to warn them!

"Everyone, stop! Get ready for battle!" Mori Yagoro said loudly.

The cavalry team slowly stopped, and then they all took out their lances and looked in the distance in the direction where the reconnaissance plane was shot down.

Mori Yagoro took out his telescope and carefully looked at the situation ahead, and found that there was a slope in front of him. It seemed that the enemy should be hiding on that slope.

Suddenly his eyes suddenly opened wide!

I saw a dozen strange tanks suddenly driving out from the slope, and suddenly pointed their muzzles at them.

Damn! There really is an ambush!

"Everyone, retreat! Retreat quickly!" Mori Yagoro said loudly in a hurry.

But by this time it was too late, the tanks had already opened fire.

They saw dense machine gun bullets being fired at them. Mori Yagoro felt the scream of machine gun bullets everywhere in his ears, and countless machine gun bullets passed through him.

Several shells fell around him, and the scattered shrapnel hit the horses that were galloping at high speed. The horses were hit hard and fell to the ground, and the cavalry on the horses were also thrown to pieces.

Moriyagoro was so frightened that he quickly put his body on the horse's back, and then hit the horse with all his strength and ran away.

The horses around him were constantly hit by the machine cannons, and then broke into two pieces and fell to the ground. The Japanese cavalry on the horse either suffered broken arms and legs, or died miserably after being hit by machine gun bullets.

This all makes Mori Yagoro feel angry! Bastards! These damn bastards!

Seeing the people around him being constantly killed by the enemy, Mori Yagoro couldn't help but curse loudly in his heart.

Seeing the Japanese troops getting further and further away from them, Crazy Li's face became as dark as water.

"Order all tanks to stop shooting." Crazy Li said loudly.

The distance between them is too far now. If they continue to fire, it will be a waste of ammunition.

Mori Yagoro ran two kilometers in one breath before stopping. Looking at the enemy in the distance, he was frightened and angry.

If it hadn't been for that reconnaissance plane desperately warning, they might have been massacred by the enemy. This damn 189th Division is really abominable.

Although they were still quite far away from the ambush circle when the enemy opened fire, the firepower of the anti-aircraft tank was too powerful. Its crazy shooting speed and astonishing range were simply unmatched, even in

If it was hit by it three kilometers away, the possibility of survival would be zero, so this sneak attack still caused extremely heavy damage to the 9th Cavalry Regiment.

There were more than 800 people when they arrived, but now there are less than 500 alive.

Seeing so many of his subordinates who were killed and injured by the enemy, Mori Yagoro felt extremely distressed. You must know that cavalry is a very expensive unit, and training requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Madman Li looked at the cavalry who had fled far away and sneered. Then he glanced at the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground and kept wailing, and said to his men: "Send some people to replenish their guns. Remember that every one of them

Don't let go."

After receiving his order, three Joffre tanks and five Ball Lightning tanks slowly drove forward. The Japanese who had broken their legs and were not dead struggled to pick up their rifles and fired at these tanks.

Start shooting.

But their bullets just made a clanging sound when they hit the tank, and could not cause any damage to the tank at all.

However, these tanks kept firing at the Japs with their machine guns. With the protection of the tanks, they did not worry about the Japs' resistance at all. Soon, the little Japs were shot dead one by one by the machine guns on these tanks.

Seeing this through the telescope, Mori Yagoro couldn't help but become extremely angry.

"Bagaya Road! Bagaya Road!" He pulled out his command knife, and then started slashing everywhere.

This group of damn bastards not only attacked them sneakily, but also dared to kill those injured soldiers of the Japanese Empire. It was really intolerable.

But the enemy's firepower was too powerful. If he ordered his troops to charge, his troops would definitely die. Helpless, he could only watch his men being brutally killed by the enemy.

"Your Majesty Colonel, we must kill those people to avenge the warriors of the empire!" At this time, a captain rode over and said angrily.

Mori Yagoro glanced at him with a very cold look, and then said: "Now is not the time for revenge. It is important to rescue the 18th Infantry Brigade. We will talk about revenge later."

"This..." The captain was obviously very dissatisfied with Mori Yagoro's decision and was a little reluctant to carry out his orders.

So many of your men have been killed, can you just let it go?

But Moriyagoro also had his own difficulties. It wasn't that he didn't want to take revenge, but that he had no choice. The enemy's firepower was too fierce. If he had to charge at the enemy, it would definitely be a disaster for these cavalry.

But soon he found that the enemy tanks actually charged towards them, which made him shocked and angry. These enemies were really bullying them.

"Your Majesty Colonel, what should we do?" the squadron leader continued to ask.

Mori Yagoroku gritted his teeth so hard that he squeaked out: "Withdraw!"

"withdraw?"

"Why don't you retreat? Are you going to rush forward and die?" Mori Yagoro said to him angrily.

"..."

Crazy Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the enemy troops began to retreat. He also took a lot of risks in doing so, because his infantry simply could not keep up with the speed of the tanks. Without the cover of the infantry, he could only rely on

The cannons and machine guns on these tanks still have to pay some price to deal with these cavalry.

At this time, the battle in Chunhua Town had come to an end. Under the powerful crushing force of the tanks and armored infantry of the 189th Division, the resistance of the Japanese army could almost be considered weak.

But the 189th Division also paid a certain price. Some Japanese who acted as suicide bombers risked their lives by throwing cluster grenades under the tanks, causing the tracks of three T34 tanks to be blown off. Another five armored personnel carriers were also hit by Japanese grenades.

They were hit by artillery shells, and all the soldiers above were killed. Apart from these, many soldiers were also hit by Japanese rifles and sacrificed their lives one after another.

Of course, for their record, this sacrifice is definitely worth it.

Seeing the 36th Regiment being surrounded by the enemy and gradually being eaten up, Jing Shuxuan felt nothing but despair. Why hadn't his reinforcements arrived yet?

A brigade was annihilated by the enemy right before his eyes. He seemed to have seen himself being court-martialed. He would become a symbol of shame for the entire Japanese Empire, and he would become the object of contempt for all Japanese soldiers.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what should we do?" Jiro Wakisaka said to him with a sad look on his face.

"What should I do??" Jing Shuxuan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, then took out his tortoise box and pointed it at his head.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! Don't be like this! Victory or defeat is a common thing for a military soldier. The worst we can do is make a comeback." Jiro Wakisaka quickly grabbed his arm tightly and said.

"Let me go!" Jing Shuxuanshi said coldly.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! You must think twice!" Jiro Wakisaka continued to urge.

However, Jing Shuxuanshi simply refused to listen to his persuasion and insisted on seeking death. Instead of being humiliated in the future, it would be better to die cleanly now.

At this time, a messenger ran over excitedly, "Report to the brigade commander, your Excellency, our reinforcements are here."

After a difficult march, the light troops of the heavy baggage regiment finally arrived at Chunhua Town.

After hearing what he said, Jing Shuxuan, who was arguing, the two stopped what they were doing almost at the same time, and then shouted angrily in unison: "Baga Yalu! Why don't they die! Why are they here now?"

*******

*******

After seeing that the 9th Brigade was completely wiped out, Nie Ziwen and Zhang Lingfu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then they looked at each other excitedly and laughed. This was simply the greatest achievement since the Anti-Japanese War. They would defeat them without using their names.

Spread throughout China.

At this time, a messenger ran over and said: "Sir, our reconnaissance plane sent a telegram, and a small group of enemy troops has arrived on the battlefield."

Nie Ziwen and Zhang Lingfu looked at each other and smiled. They were just a small group of enemy troops. They could be destroyed with a flip of their hands.

But the messenger's next sentence made them stop laughing, "In addition, the Nanjing headquarters informed us that a large-scale assembly of Japanese aircraft in Shanghai is underway."

"What did you say? Japanese aircraft are gathering on a large scale?" Zhang Lingfu said with a surprised look on his face.

"That's right."

"Quickly send power to the teacher's seat! I need air support!" Nie Ziwen immediately thought of Lu Mingxuan. It had almost become his conditioned reflex to go to Lu Mingxuan when something happened. "Hurry up and notify Madman Li and Li Zhengqi and order them to withdraw quickly. In addition, he ordered

The First Tank Company went to meet Li Zhengqi."

Thinking about Li Zhengqi's incredible mission, he estimated that Li Zhengqi would never be able to relax now.

"Yes! Sir!"

Nie Ziwen and Zhang Lingfu's expressions became solemn again. It seemed that another large-scale air battle was coming.
