Chapter 166 New Army First Brightening Sword

Yue Hanping led the youth army to gather in the Shanggao area and waited for the war zone order. Luo Zhuoying's command center was located in Shanggao County. Yue Hanping rushed to the command center to meet Luo Zhuoying. Luo Zhuoying and Yue Hanping were also familiar with him. Now Yue Hanping is a celebrity of the Jiang family and a beloved general of Chen Cheng. Luo Zhuoying, who was born in the 18th Army series of Chen Cheng, naturally had a sense of closeness to him.

As soon as they met, the two of them were polite. Luo Zhuoying expanded the map and said, "Hanping, come and see the combat plan." Yue Hanping approached the map and saw that the map was full of red and blue arrows, intertwined, and the red arrows tightly surrounded Nanchang. All the red arrows almost launched a counterattack along the front of the Nanxun Railway, especially the Zhangshu and Fengcheng area. ** gathered heavy troops and promoted one by one. [bsp;    This is a plan formulated by Xue Yue himself, and Luo Zhuoying also thought it was very feasible, so the front-line commander could not hide his pride and joy. Yue Hanping frowned and thought to himself, how did Commander-in-Chief Xue make such a plan? It was too formal and there was no sign of a sudden attack. He couldn't help but ask: "Commander Luo, is this really a plan formulated by Commander-in-Chief Xue himself?"

Luo Zhuoying was stunned, not knowing what was wrong, "Yes, this was made by Commander Xue Yue himself." Yue Hanping couldn't help but show an incredible look, "I'm frank, I don't agree with this plan." Luo Zhuoying's mouth was so big that he could almost stuff an egg in it. "Aren't you kidding?" Yue Hanping grabbed his Feng Ji buckle, "Commander Luo, am I kidding?" Then, Yue Hanping didn't wait for Luo Zhuoying to speak, and said directly: "Commander Luo, I want to ask for advice. What is the most important thing to launch such a large-scale counterattack?"

Luo Zhuoying replied without thinking: "Of course it's sudden. Only by launching a sudden attack can the surprise attack effect of the battle be achieved." Yue Hanping nodded, "Then there is no such tactic at all. Once the Japanese army relies on the defense line to resolutely block and cannot stand up, wouldn't we fight to attack Nanchang?" Luo Zhuoying shook his head, "No, the Japanese army only has one three-way 33rd Division to defend Nanchang, and our troops have 200,000 people, which is the front.

There is more than enough breakthrough." Yue Hanping asked back: "In the Battle of Wuhan, ** gathered almost all the troops that could be assembled, with a total of 135 divisions. How many Japanese troops were there? In addition to the five reinforcements, there were 9 divisions and more than 400,000 people, which is three times that of the Japanese army. But what is the result? The Japanese army's military quality and individual combat capabilities are far higher than that of **. Once the suddenness of the battle is not achieved and we are trapped in a tough battle, we will definitely not get any benefits."

Luo Zhuoying realized the seriousness of the problem and asked anxiously: "Hanping, what should I do?" Yue Hanping said calmly, "The assembly and mobilization of troops has not been fully implemented, and there is still room for change of the plan. I want to change the plan, take my Youth Army as the vanguard for attack, and take my armored troops as the leader, try to give full play to the advantages of the armor, and advance quickly to the city of Nanchang, without giving the Japanese a chance to react. Our main force can attack the Japanese army with the Youth Army on the periphery. Try to wipe out the Japanese division as completely."

He has such a great spirit that he will annihilate a Japanese division at any time. Luo Zhuoying shook his head, "Your troops must be approved by the Chairman's order. No one can mobilize you without the Chairman's order." Yue Hanping smiled, "Commander, you are keeping my youth army for watching, not the main force of combat? Who knows that 'the general will not accept the orders of the king outside', the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and my youth army will not move, so why do you come here?"

Luo Zhuoying's head was shaking like a rattle, "No, no. The chairman will be angry." Yue Hanping tried hard to persuade him, and Luo Zhuoying decided to discuss with Xue Yue. Xue Yue heard that Yue Hanping had deposed his combat plan to be worthless, so he was secretly happy. It turned out that Xue Yue wanted to use this plan to express his thoughts, and it would be better for Yue Hanping to ask for the fight himself. Otherwise, who could mobilize the young army?

Luo Zhuoying naturally couldn't think of Xue Yue's true thoughts, and wanted to defend a few words. Unexpectedly, Xue Yue readily agreed to fight according to Yue Hanping's combat plan. Luo Zhuoying complained, and originally planned to fool Yue Hanping to Xue Yue's place, but actually hoped that Xue Yue could consider that the Youth Army was the treasure of Lao Jiang and Xiao Jiang, and would not easily agree to Yue Hanping.

If this really touches the young army, Chiang Kai-shek will not have to peel him off. Luo Zhuoying felt like he was being played with, but he could not have an attack, and he could only show full depression. Xue Yue was so happy when he heard Luo Zhuoying's depressed voice. The commander of the Ninth War Zone was Xue Yue, not him, Luo Zhuoying. No one could change what Xue Yue decided.

Xue Yue said generously: "Commander Luo, don't worry, I will be responsible for the combat plan. Just fight according to Yue Hanping's plan." Luo Zhuoying was like a defeated rooster, dejected and powerlessly.

On July 7th, the general attack time for counterattacking Nanchang. That morning, the weather was extremely hot, and early in the morning, the sun hung high in the sky. A red sun set off the clouds around him as red as blood. Even the new recruits felt the weather strange, and the veterans thought to themselves that today was destined to be a day of blood flowing into a river, but I don’t know if it was a blood flowing into a river or a blood flowing into a river by the Japanese army.

At 7 o'clock, three green signal flares rose into the air. The silent front line suddenly became lively. Fengxin and Gao'an's position, more than 200 cannons suddenly roared at the Japanese army in front of them. The hot muzzle flames added a bit of heat. The dense shells drew beautiful arcs in the air, with sharp roars, and smashed the Japanese positions. The artillery positions were filled with smoke, and the gunners kept stuffing the shells handed over by the ammunition into the barrel and pulled the bolts.

"The Chinese people attacked the Chinese people attacked the Chinese people." The Japanese positions were in chaos and shouting. The roar of cannons shattered the sky. Just as the Japanese troops were hiding from artillery fire, the Japanese troops on the Fengxin Front suddenly heard a thunderous roar. What sound? The Japanese soldiers foolishly guessed.

The roar became louder and louder. The Japanese army was frightened to find a long steel dragon appeared in the control area of ​​the Laohe** opposite. These were 65 tanks and more than 100 armored vehicles of the Young Army Armored Regiment. They were arranged into snake formations and rushed towards the Laohe. The black smoke filled the sky and shook the earth.

The Japanese army had never seen so many Chinese tanks. Only Japanese tanks and armored vehicles could easily crush the body. Today, such a huge armored force suddenly appeared on the front line of the Liaohe River. The psychological shock to the Japanese army was far greater than that of the steel giant beast crushing the body of the Japanese army.

As they approached the Liao River, the Japanese army opened fire one after another, and fierce firepower intertwined the surface of the Liao River. In front of the tank was a bulldozer driven by engineers. They bulldozed on the Liao River embankment under the Japanese artillery fire. They wanted to open several gaps from the steep river embankment of the Liao River to open the way for the tanks.

At 10 a.m., the engineers opened four large gaps. The commando's chariots wade through the river through the gap in the river embankment. The water of the chariots were not deep, only a few meters, and the riverbed was hard. The chariots rumbled like a fleet, splashing water on the river surface and artillery fire burst.

The Japanese army on the other side did not expect that the tanks could cross the river like this, and quickly concentrated their firepower to block the river surface. The Young Army's armored corps was not to be outdone. All tanks and armored vehicles concentrated large and large artillery, and machine guns were suppressed and fired at the Japanese positions. Over the river, the projectiles were flashing and whistling, and weaving them into a dense fire net. The Japanese rifle and machine gun bullets hit the huge body of the ** tank, and the "ding Ding Dangdang" stirred up a string of sparks, but could not penetrate the tank's armor.

** tanks and armored vehicles quickly rushed across the Liao River with their armored cover and relying on their speed. The 45mm tank gun on the tank was bombarded with one shot, and the Japanese positions were filled with smoke and dust. The machine guns on the armored vehicles shot out dense bullets like water splashing, suppressing the Japanese firepower.

The Japanese army at the forefront did not dare to carry steel machinery with flesh and blood. They ran away when they saw the tanks. The tank soldiers had never been so comfortable, chasing the Japanese army's butts. Machine guns and bullets shot the Japanese soldiers into honeycombs, and the steel tracks easily rushed through the frontier positions of the Japanese army.

After rushing through the front blocking position, there was a small open land in front of it, which was a small alluvial plain formed by the Liao River. As soon as he got on the flat ground, the tank soldiers excitedly increased the accelerator, especially the new tank company commander Jiang Weiguo, who was the first actual combat. Major Jiang shouted loudly in the cockpit: "Hi Hitler Go Forward" and took the lead and led his 12 tanks to rush forward.

The Japanese army's defense line was scattered, and the Japanese army fled in all directions. There was no trace of ridges spread out here. The grass was like a green carpet, and wild flowers were dotted in it, like messy stars in the sky. It was hard for God to prepare such a good natural slaughterhouse for the young army's armored soldiers. About 600 people rushed into the plain in panic. The ** chariot immediately set off the fan shape, and the armored vehicles used their speed to penetrate the front of the plain, forming a large pocket.

The steel tanks formed a circle, surrounding 600 Japanese soldiers. The tanks and armored vehicles stopped firing cannons, and the machine guns kept firing the Japanese army, locking the Japanese army's way out. Some tankers increased the accelerator, and the tanks rushed towards the Japanese army like wild horses that broke away from the reins. The Japanese army dodged to the side one after another. The skilled tank hands turned around beautifully, and the tank rushed towards the Japanese army with huge inertia, knocking the Japanese army under the tracks, and a splash of plasma flew.
