When closing the distance to 800 meters, the French tank group fired the first series of bullets. At this distance, the penetration depth of the 76mm tank gun is nearly 110mm, quite satisfactory, of course not enough to deal with disruptors like the Tiger or Stalin-2, but enough to use with medium tanks!
The First Brigade Aviation Combat Team was immediately dispatched to bomb the enemy!
The 25th Armored Brigade of the French army appeared in the Xuan Lien area, and the bad news reached Thanh Hoa like a bolt of lightning, stunning top Viet Minh officials.
Battalion C is the battalion of the 25th Armored Brigade with the best equipment and the most veterans. It's just that the situation with sharp blades is now a bit dire. Several rounds of bombardment have destroyed them. The battalion can still move less than 20 tanks, and morale has dropped to the freezing point. But when the colonel gave the order, Battalion C could only grit its teeth and turn around to face those 59 round-headed men, otherwise none of them could escape!
The soldiers were in a very sparse formation, only one person was placed every ten meters, cautiously crawling forward. This is based on the experience of the Japanese army. Over the past few months, the Japanese army has so scattered arrow-shaped pistols that the commanders and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army have just collected corpses. They all have a dark mentality. Regardless of whether it is attack or defense, it does not affect the density of firepower. Under the premise of doing everything possible, try to stay as far away as possible to avoid being shot out by the opponent's arrows. These commandos are normally equipped with low-light night vision devices and walkie-talkies. These two pieces of equipment are undoubtedly the tools of night combat. For them, the night is dark. is the most ideal battlefield! The loose formation moved forward slowly and resolutely, like a rising tide, spreading step by step towards the Japanese positions...
Xue Jianqiang snorted: "Who else is there besides you? Tell me, I can wipe out that damn 25th Armored Brigade. You just called me back at this time, this was not intentional." " give me an explanation?"
Zhong Wei said loudly: "Don't worry, I will use them when I need them, as long as they don't complain when the time comes."
After hearing this, Yin Yuchan quickly apologized: "Sorry senior, I said something wrong, please..."
Without raising his head, Jiang Tao calmly said: "We have been surrounded."
When the news was sent back to Xuzhou city, the Japanese generals were dumbfounded.
Xue Jianqiang's face did not change: "How many doors are there?"
Comprehensive counterattack!
Xue Jianqiang said: "It's inconvenient to reveal the specific amount to you, but this is enough. You use this small amount first, and a large amount will be sent over a period of time."
Over the years, Lin Xuewei had instilled these views in the original body.
Seeing that the 106th Division could not withstand the fierce attack of the Second Army in the field, it immediately fired poison gas bombs from cannons to cover the soldiers' retreat to the villages and towns. A pile of toxic gas bombs were fired, the battlefield was filled with toxic gas like thick fog, the 2nd Field Army was forced to stop, many Japanese troops were divided and fled before them. When Chen Geng heard about it, he punched the table and cursed: "Damn it, it's like this again! These bastards can do nothing but poison gas!"
However, they did not know that the consequences of losing Bandar Abbas were not as simple as supply difficulties.
He really wanted to give the Japanese general a one-ton medal!
Sano Yamamoto asked: "Which bomber? B-24 or..."
Okabe Naozaburo gathered his courage and said: "Sir, Xuzhou is the gateway to Nanjing. The loss of Xuzhou means that China's New Fourth Army can attack Nanjing without cause. We must be on guard!" "
Everyone suddenly stopped and stared in shock at the two terrifying fireballs, watching them somersault and fall from a height, and the target was the Japanese military headquarters!
Can fly at subsonic speed, even supersonic speed, firepower is equivalent to an enhanced bomber version, much weaker.
What Lieutenant Colonel Morell encountered was the cadet team of the 34th Independent Armored Battalion. The meaning of the cadet team was that the soldiers were all armored soldiers with a certain cultural background and had been trained rigorous training, but lacks actual combat experience. To date, although Tubie has drawn fifteen armored brigades — in fact, it is too small to call it an armored regiment, and the armor is very strong, but most of the soldiers are from Yeluzi, and a lot is known about them. However, for unknown reasons, the potential was limited, so after a large number of German mercenaries arrived in China, each army tried to recruit several groups of top trainees to follow its armored squad. German mercenaries and learn from them how to do it. to fight and how to fight Use your equipment sensibly and to the fullest. The 34th Armored Battalion was responsible for commanding a small platoon of student teams equipped with Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Xue Jianqiang commanded the entire combat battalion; he did not bring these students with him when fought with the 25th Armored Brigade. He left them only in the relatively safe but extremely important strategic village of Nagara, as an outpost of Tsinghua City, just in case. He deployed like that with the purpose of protecting the student team, but unexpectedly, the student team clashed with another French army! As for those students, they were really young calves and not afraid of tigers. They discovered dozens of tanks rushing towards them. They did not retreat but rushed forward at full speed. The French army was defeated!
The German officer who could understand Chinese shouted angrily: "There are two more bombing rounds? After these two bombing rounds, the French army is finished? Then why do we need us!?"
Time goes back to May 5. On this day, the 129th Infantry Division of the First Field Army overcame many difficulties and crossed the Yiluo River Valley through Wuguan and headed straight for Nanyang. Like a sharp arrow shot from the pass, it stabbed straight towards the Center of the Japanese army, Nanyang, an important military town, filled with red flags in the night. Also on this day, the 106th and 115th divisions of the Japanese Army were surrounded by two army groups of the First Field Army and the 14th Army from the direction of Giang Hoai between Yancheng and Lam Dinh. go out. , suddenly fell into a desperate situation. Telegrams calling for help flew to Nanjing like a snowflake, but Okamura Ningci was helpless. The only person who could turn the situation around in the Central Plains was the 11th Army in Wuhan, but he took away three monks. division from the 11th Army Corps. The 13th Division, which had not yet been surrounded, had already lost, not knowing whether to reinforce the Lam Ninh battlefield or deal with the 129th Infantry Division in the Nam Duong area. The 11th Army faced the encirclement of more than a million Chinese troops on both sides of the Yangtze River at the same time, very difficult for itself, now there were three divisions trapped in the Delta battlefield Central, Wuhan, the consequences are unimaginable, so Gangcun Ningci now does not dare to withdraw troops from the 11th Army no matter what.
