The third part of the bloody war of resistance, Chapter 9, the rushing flow, Section 8, the Yellow River Roaring (10)

Qiu Qingquan nodded slightly after seeing it. The Air Force's situation was very timely. While notifying them, it also reported to the Air Force Command that the command had decided to send bombers to bomb. Qiu Qingquan knew that the first Japanese tank 1st Division was mainly equipped with German tanks No. 3 and Type 97 tanks. Judging from the data he obtained, neither of these two tanks were as good as the Sherman tank, not to mention T34.

"Since the Air Force has decided to bomb, order the vanguard regiment to speed up, and must stop them in Wucheng." Qiu Qingquan's tone was a little solemn. Judging from the technical information and quantity obtained, it is not surprising that Japanese tanks were at all, but they had never fought with the Japanese tank division. The tactical capabilities of the Japanese tank division still need to be verified from this battle.

However, unlike Qiu Qingquan's slightly worried, he found that the news of the Japanese tank division quickly spread throughout the army. The lower-level officers were excited and ran towards Wucheng at full speed. After replenishing oil in Xiajin, they continued to run towards Wucheng.

Lieutenant General Hoshino's commander, the commander of the First Division of the War Tank, got up from the ground, wiped the blood from his face, and a scorching pain came. The adjutant hurriedly brought a first aid kit to bandage him, but he pushed it away, looking up at the far away Chinese plane and the messy battlefield everywhere. Within his eyes, there were fire and smoke everywhere, and overturning tank and armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery trucks. These precious strike forces turned into scrap iron before they could be fired.

Yoshino Tatsumoto was bleeding in his heart. The Empire did not attach importance to tanks when it started the war. It was not until Yucheng was defeated that the Empire began to pay attention to tanks. The subsequent lightning storm that Germany launched in Europe brought great shock to the Japanese military. The Empire introduced tank No. 3 from Germany and studied the Type 97 tanks by itself. Unfortunately, the Empire was limited in steel, and the army and navy were only limited in one point, and then the troops fell into the tank. To this day, the Empire only had six chariot divisions and eighteen ** chariot brigades. His chariot division was the earliest chariot division formed, and both quantity and quality were not satisfactory.

The Imperial Chariot Division has two brigades, each brigade has two corpses, each brigade has three squadrons, one squadron of squadrons, one light chariot, one artillery chariot (self-propelled artillery), and one maintenance squadron.

In addition, each division also has a mechanized infantry gang, anti-aircraft artillery gang, anti-tank gang, engineer gang, and baggage gang.

Before this, Hoshino Ritomoto was very confident in his chariot division. His division had participated in the battle against the Soviet Union and defeated the Soviet army on the Mongolian grassland. What made him regretful was that the Soviet Union transferred all the tanks to Moscow. His tanks chased the Mongolian cavalry around the vast Mongolian grassland. Seeing the cavalry fleeing, Hoshino Ritomoto was very satisfied.

Before he arrived at the China battlefield, he had studied the examples of German tank battles in Europe and the Yucheng Battle. However, the survivors of the Yucheng Battle were vague. From their descriptions, he still got something. He believed that the main reason why the Chinese tanks were successful in Yucheng was that the Imperial Army had no experience in dealing with the tank group's charge and the troops had severely lacked anti-tank weapons. The 37th War Defense Cannon could not deal with the Chinese tanks, and the soldiers had to use human bombs to deal with the Chinese tanks. The success rate was astonishingly small and the casualties were astonishingly large.

Hoshino Tatsumoto hoped that his chariot could run over the body of the Chinese soldiers and let his tracks be covered with the flesh and blood of the Chinese soldiers; but the troops rushed to the north bank of the Yellow River, but they were treated as a reserve force and had to go back without a single shot.

Now, this powerful team was destroyed by the Chinese Air Force. They came from heaven despicablely and did not dare to compete with his tanks face to face.

"Cleaning it immediately, how many chariots can be used, and the wounded are sent to the ambulance team. Count the oil and ammunition, and contact the Avant-garde wing. If they are not, hide immediately and move quickly."

Hoshino Tatsumoto was worried that the Chinese Air Force would come to bomb again. There were about twenty aircraft in this batch, which was obviously not the whole of the Chinese Air Force, so his tone was very anxious. Some tanks were withdrawing from the woods and sorghum fields one after another, but the road was blocked by the bombed tanks and cars, and the officers did not even have time to wrap up the wounds, so they directed the clearing of the road.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" A truck full of ammunition exploded. The splashed shrapnel drove several soldiers who were rescued into the sky, and detonated two other fire trucks, making the scene even more chaotic. Several brave soldiers rushed onto several other trucks and drove the fire truck into the sorghum field.

Then several tanks exploded, and the burning fire detonated the shells inside. The violent explosion lifted the turret into the air, causing some casualties.

"Suppose the chariots, armored vehicles and trucks that can be activated, find the way by themselves, gather in the villages in front, be careful, you must be hidden along the way." Hoshino Tatsumoto took the map and looked at it from the map. There was a village five kilometers in front, which should be considered a good area.

"After entering the village, no killing is allowed. All the Chinese people in the village are gathered near the chariots, and they must be visible to the sky." The adjutant was about to convey the order, and Hoshino Riemon added another sentence later. Hoshino Riemon was worried that after the soldiers were attacked, they would use killing to vent their anger by entering the village. What is needed now is not killing, but to protect the chariots. Without the chariots, even if they arrived in Dezhou, they would not do anything.

Tanks and armored vehicles hurriedly hid everywhere left the road one after another. Fortunately, this area is full of plains and there are no obstacles. Otherwise, it would probably take several hours to clear these obstacles. The Chinese Air Force would never miss such an opportunity.

Hoshino Tatsumoto left Deputy Chief of Staff Ando to command here, and took a chariot to bypass the long obstacles from the field, and then drove back onto the highway.

When he arrived outside the village, Hitomi Hoshino ordered the village to be surrounded, but to his disappointment, he only caught more than a dozen villagers, and no one had escaped from the village during the bombing. Hitomi Hoshino ordered that the dozen villagers be placed on the sanitary yard in the village, and seven or eight tanks surrounded them in the middle.

Hoshino urgently sent a telegram to Peking, Jinan and Liaocheng, and encountered an air strike. The troops suffered serious losses. At the same time, he asked for replenishment of oil. The current oil was only enough for them to drive to the plains, and they could not drive to Dexian at all.

Hoshino Tatsumoto's concerns were quickly confirmed. More than an hour later, the soldiers in charge of police equipment sounded the air raid alarm. Hoshino Tatsumoto did not hide, but stood on the roof to observe, and saw dozens of small black dots floating from the horizon. The small black dots quickly expanded and turned into silver war eagles. The soldiers immediately dispersed and hidden. The adjutant wanted to pull Hoshino Tatsumoto hidden, but Hoshino Tatsumoto shook his head firmly. If the threat from the villagers was effective, the Chinese Air Force would not bomb; if it was not effective, then evasion would be meaningless. The commander of the chariot division who had lost the chariot could only apologize.

The plane rushed down with a strong roar. Hoshino Tatsumoto stared at the plane nervously, and the anti-aircraft gun muzzles hidden in the village were tracking the enemy planes tightly. However, according to Hoshino Tatsumoto's order, as long as the enemy plane did not bomb, it would not be allowed to fire.

The plane's height was getting lower and lower, and it had reached the bombing height, but the fuselage suddenly pulled and the plane flew flat over the village. Hoshino Tatsumoto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is he despicable and shameless? Is he still a Bushido?" Xue Muhua was so angry that he opened his mouth and cursed. After receiving the report, he flew down and took a look. Sure enough, many villagers were placed by the Japanese by the tank. The Japanese clearly stated whether they should choose the villagers or bombing.

Xue Muhua could not give this order. This time he brought fifty bombers and thirty Mustang fighters, determined to wipe out all the Japanese armored troops, but he didn't expect the Japanese to do this, which made him feel a little overwhelmed.

"Report to the Command Center" Xue Muhua got angry and finally had to ask his superiors for instructions.

Gao Zhihang seemed to be stumped by this new situation. He had not answered for a long time and only replied a few minutes later: "I asked Commander Zhuang for instructions. No bombing is allowed. Return immediately. Listen to the bombing is allowed. Return immediately."

"Understand" Xue Muhua had no choice but to slide through the sky and see the smokey road below. Xue Muhua angrily poured ammunition onto these still burning tank armored vehicles. When passing Liaocheng, he launched a round of bombing on the Japanese army in the south of the city.

"Why is this Japanese man getting worse and worse?" After Zhuang Jihua gave the order, he put down the phone and shook his head at Xu Zuyi and said.

"You're so anxious to jump over the wall. This is the only mobile power of the Japanese within a radius of hundreds of miles. Just thrown into the hands of the Air Force, not only the Shandong Japanese, but also the Liaocheng Japanese could not escape." Xu Zuyi laughed.

The atmosphere inside the command center is now very relaxed. Guan Linzheng has broken through the periphery of Jinan and attacked the city of Jinan. It is just around the corner of Jinan. The Blue Yun encircled Laiwu in the east, and the Fifth Mixed Brigade became a turtle in the jar. Du Yuming and Zhong Bin attacked the Taishan defense line, and the progress was smooth, just the last veil.

The Japanese army in Liaocheng were suppressed near Liaocheng. Gu Shoufu, who retreated to Anyang, was pinned by two troops, Tang Enbo and Fan Hanjie, and could not move at all. Wei Lihuang and Liu Bcheng followed and chased the Japanese army and occupied Changzhi, Jincheng respectively.

There is nothing smoother than the war in front of you, what else is not satisfied with?

"I think so, Bushido is still lifeless." He Wei also said casually. He seemed to be joking and always serious: "Commander, the enemy in Laiwu should be resolved as soon as possible. There are three armies in Lanyundong, and the Japanese are only four or five thousand. The strength comparison is extremely beneficial to us."

"You are right. After solving the Laiwu enemy, Lanyun East can go north, cross Jinan, and attack the flanks of the 59th Division." Zhuang Jihua nodded. In his opinion, the difficulties of this battle have passed, and now is the time to harvest. It is the question of how much to harvest: "You draft the order and give Lanyun East two days to restore Laiwu."

Cai Tingkai sat on the chair, holding a teacup in a happy mood: "Even if Matsui Ishigen escaped from the Yellow River and entered De Prefecture, there were not many people. Once Matsui Ishigen is dealt with, what will Okamura Nishi take to defend Heijin?"

"This is quite a headache," Zhuang Jihua replied with a smile, and his tone changed: "This makes Okamura Niji go and be troubled. We can't do it. Everyone, the end of the war is decided, should we do something?"

"Oh, Cultural Revolution, what do you want to do?" Xu Zuyi was a little confused. He quickly thought about what else he needed to do. Should he continue to attack and fight until Peiping? This is not possible. This battle lasted from the Huaihe River to the Yellow River for two months. Although there was renovation in the middle, the actual time was very short. The troops were very tired, suffered a lot of casualties, and almost all materials were consumed. After conquering De County, the troops should be transferred to repair. Without more than three months of renovation, the troops would not be able to recover.

"I'm thinking it's time to settle the score," said Zhuang Jihua: "I want to publish a list of war criminals."
