"It can't be!" Lieutenant General Motojiro Taniguchi, the commander of the 114th Division, stared at Yukio Akida in front with red eyes.

"It's true! Immediately after the end of the aerial bombardment, the vanguard organized an offensive on the ground. More than sixty tanks poured in, and our soldiers on the front line could not stop it at all. ......" Adjutant Yukio Akida said again.

"Enough! An hour, only an hour, I haven't organized reinforcements yet, and the front line is lost first! Motojiro Taniguchi interrupted him, leaning against the corner of the table and panting.

One wing is gone, and this is still the most combat-effective wing of the 114th division at this time. Shigetoku Yamamoto, holding a cluster grenade in one hand, collapsed in front of the tank's tracks and was crushed to minced meat as he madly rushed towards the tank. Major General Obaof, the commander of the 128th Brigade Regiment who commanded the devils to hide, died directly in the bombing of the planes.

The 115th Wing, which also had a brigade there, was not spared.

"The vanguard army continues to advance!" Yukio Akida cautiously reminded. At this time, Motojiro Taniguchi was about to fall into a state of rage.

"Block,...... Report it to the command! Motojiro Taniguchi sighed and said. This situation is no longer something that he can solve as a novice division, and he needs the support of others.

"What? The vanguard army launched a full-scale offensive on the front line of Longhai again? Sugiyama was also a little surprised. A day after receiving the information that the vanguard army was attacking Weihai, the news that the vanguard army was attacking south again came.

In many cases, the attacks launched by the vanguard army were without warning, and they could not see that they had requisitioned a large amount of materials in advance, and at most they only saw the transfer of personnel, but sometimes they did not even make major adjustments to the personnel, and directly launched the attack on the spot. After the battle began, they saw a large amount of their military supplies being transported back and forth.

It was difficult for the agents to judge their battle plan. Intelligence on the vanguard has always been a weakness.

This time, Sugiyama was responsible for coordinating the attacks of the North China and Central China armies on the Vanguard Army. After all, Terauchi Shouichi and Yan Junroku don't accept anyone, and it would be better to have Sugiyama Moto's coordination.

"The 114th Division is asking for support?" Sugiyama looked at the location of the 114th Division on the map.

The 114th Division is now still under the management of the North China Front, but in his vicinity, it is all men and horses of the Central China Dispatch Army. Shouichi Terauchi had no choice but to turn to Sugiyama Moto.

"But the 13th Division was also dragged!" The Hu Minghe Brigade of the 41st Division and the 21st Army made a feint attack on Xuzhou, although it was only a feint, but the artillery fire continued, and the 13th Division did not know the reality of the other side, and did not dare to be careless.

The 6th Division and the 101st Division, which were planning to besiege the vanguard army, were still preparing at this time, and they were not ready to attack, one was in Bengbu and the other was in Huaiyin, and they couldn't get over for a while.

The planned attack on the vanguard was after September 5, and the manpower was not basically in place until September 1. At this time, the difference of three or four days has made the devil's arrangement stretched.

"Let them hold on a little longer!" Sugiyama could only say, "Wait for the support of the 101st Division!" But he couldn't imagine how the attack of the vanguard army could be so sharp, and he only attacked for an hour before the 114th Division came to call for help.

The reinforcements of the 101st Division needed to be prepared, and they still needed to hurry, and a day was not enough. To this end, Sugiyama Motoki sent 80 planes to help. To protect against the aircraft of the Vanguard Army, there were fifty fighters in this.

This was already the limit of what he could call. The domestic support flight team had not yet arrived, and at this time there were not enough 100 planes and fighters in North and Central China, and the other planes were useless in the past.

Without waiting for the devil's plane to fly over Lianyungang, more than 80 thunderbolts swooped down behind the clouds in the sky halfway through, and gave them a blow head-on.

In one round, the devil's flying team dropped 7 planes.

"There must be something wrong with them, they are waiting exactly in the direction of our flight, and even if there is a reconnaissance aircraft to observe, it will not be so fast!" Tokugawa said with a frown.

Now the devils and the vanguard army are at a disadvantage, in addition to the factors on the plane, their ability to take the initiative in the first place is also one of the factors. For each time the vanguard can accurately wait for them, the devil has done a lot of analysis, although the role of the radar has also been determined, but the radar has not been used openly at this time, and finally ignored the past. It's just that the secrecy of information has been strengthened before each flight.

But this time, the impromptu flight order was still waited for by the vanguard army.

"The only thing that can have this effect is radio monitoring." Tokugawa Yoshitoshi is still very concerned about the application of this radar, but it is really surprising that Huaxia is so backward, and the vanguard army can be equipped with such advanced things.

"They all have such advanced planes, what's so strange about having radio monitoring instruments!" Shouichi Terauchi frowned.

The planes were sent only to draw the vanguard attack, not to fight their planes. But the devil's plane couldn't get rid of the pursuit of the Thunderbolt plane. The number of planes falling from the sky is constantly increasing, but only a few are in the vanguard. The pilots of the Vanguard Army have been honed for so long, and their level has improved greatly. There are a lot of people who have already got rid of the rookie hat and are not inferior to the pilots of the devils.

In the first few air battles, the Vanguard could only win with the help of the super surname of the aircraft, and now even if it is one-on-one, the pilots of the Vanguard Army are not necessarily inferior. Not to mention the advantages on the Thunderbolt plane.

When 15 devil planes fell, only three of the Pioneer planes were damaged, which made Tokugawa Yoshitoshi a little distressed. Domestic planes have always been talked about, but because of Soviet Russia, most of them were replenished to the Kwantung Army first. The planned flying team to deal with the Vanguard will not be assembled until after September 1st.

In the past two days, we can only rely on the North China and Central China armies themselves.

Over there, the distress signals of the 114th Division were still coming, and they were getting more and more urgent. And the plane in the sky never rushed in, but just fell down like a dumpling.

After the loss of 21 planes of the devils, Tokugawa Yoshitoshi couldn't help but give the order to retreat. At this time, the plane has consumed a lot of fuel, and it is almost time to return.

As soon as the devil's plane returned, the vanguard army flew up again. They seem to be addicted to the bombardment just now, and some of them are still unsatisfied. The Junan base provided them with the most convenient support, and although only twelve planes were replenished, Yi Fuen still ordered to take off.

This became the last straw that crushed the 114th Division, and those planes were another short-term drop bomb, directly blowing up a passage on the devil's defensive position, and then the vanguard army attacked Lianyungang along this passage where the soil was turned over.

"Let's get them out of the way!" In less than half a day, the situation changed like this, and when he heard the news that the 114th Division had lost more than half, Sugiyama Yuan no longer expected the 114th to continue to hold on. It's only been a long time, and when the 101st Division arrives, I'm afraid that there won't be a few people left in the 114th Division.

"Can't let them run away, destroy them all!" Meng Xiang was constantly receiving news from all over the country in the headquarters, and when he heard that the 114th Division was trying to evacuate, he instructed directly. It's time to cut off one of its fingers.

"You can let them withdraw from Lianyungang and use tank troops to intercept them halfway!" Fan suggested that the power of tank units should not be used in the city. There were still many people in the city, and they had more scruples when they attacked.

Under the pressure of the vanguard army, the 114th Division, which received the order to retreat, began to set fire to various places in the city and the port, trying to block the pursuit of the vanguard army with heavy fire.

It seemed to work, and when they withdrew south from Lianyungang, the vanguard infantry behind was busy helping the people in the city to put out the fire.

"Don't stop! Hurry south and join the 101st Division as soon as possible! Taniguchi Motojiro rode on a horse and ordered, this time he left in a hurry, and he didn't bring some supplies, even the rations only for two days. Artillery and other weapons were also lost, and this recruit division did not have much combat effectiveness. At this time, I was counting on the speed of escape.

Suddenly, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky. Motojiro Taniguchi looked up, and more than a dozen Ju-88s flew down from the sky behind him, and the remaining bombers of the Yi Fuen Brigade finished loading and flew again.

The devils below twitched, they had already seen the power of the JU-88, and few people could survive the intensive bombardment.

"Spread out, spread out!" Wing Commander Nakaku Hideji of the Light and Heavy Soldiers Wing shouted loudly. They were the first to withdraw a lot of their supplies, but at this time, because of the inconvenience of the things they carried, they were likely to become the best targets for bombs.

Boom, boom, this time the bombers were not covered with carpet, but constantly circled and bombed the front of the team, blocking their direction.

At the same time, smoke and dust rolled up behind him.

"Oops, their chariots are still catching up." Motojiro Taniguchi was surprised. The situation at that time was to die if you stayed there, and there was still a chance to live.

At this time, the chariots of the vanguard army caught up, which means that the brigade responsible for blocking the attack behind has been finished.

Motojiro Taniguchi understood very well the consequences of the 114th Division being chased by the chariot at this time, gritted his teeth, and left two more brigades to block the attack, and the rest of the men and horses scattered and continued to flee in the face of the bombardment of the aircraft.

"Keep chasing!" Tiger Seven ordered. The defensive position hastily constructed by the devils did not even have a single anti-tank trench, and was easily run over by more than 80 tanks in pursuit. The devils behind him naturally have the vanguard infantry following behind to be responsible for clearing up. Their purpose was to pursue the large army of devils in front.

A person's two legs can only run past the wheels in certain circumstances, but definitely not now. In just one or twenty minutes, the tanks of the vanguard army had already chased behind the devils who were constantly blocked by bombs.

The plane in the sky was afraid of being injured by mistake, so it dropped all the bombs directly at the place where the devils were dense and returned. All that's left is the show of tank troops.

The BT-7 in front of it constantly swung its machine gun from side to side, firing in both directions. The wide tracks of the T-34 in the back ran over the fallen corpse and went straight into the dirt, fertilizing the crop.

"Let's go first!" Motojiro Taniguchi instructed the captain of the 1st [***] Cavalry Brigade Amagi Kanshichiro Shaozomichi, and Amagi Kanshichiro took away the wing flags and important documents of each wing.

"Your Excellency General, come with us!" Kanshiro Amagi pleaded with Motojiro Taniguchi.

Motojiro Taniguchi just shook his head and didn't say anything. Most of the 114th Division has already ended, the life and death of the blocking team are still unknown, and the backward engineer wings and light and heavy soldiers are destined to not escape the strangulation of the tanks. Although there was an order from the base camp for him to evacuate, he knew that once he withdrew, he would not be able to escape the shame for a lifetime.

Amagi Kanshiro also understood what he meant, turned on his horse and left, and now he could only use the speed of the horse to shake off the pursuit of the tank.

But he didn't go far and the roar of planes came from the sky again, and this time twelve HS-123s flew in.

Because tanks and devils have been mixed together, it is not easy to attack. The fleeing cavalry brigade became the best target for attack.

One plane after another rushed down, and cluster bombs were dropped one after another. It doesn't matter if you're loose or dense, this bomb with the widest coverage quickly takes down the living creatures standing in the field of vision. The lone fleeing horses soon became targets for the plane's machine guns.

"Get out of there, some of those things will explode very late, and it will easily hurt the tracks!" Lu Chong shouted loudly. Their squadron's tanks were the first to rush to the front of the Devil's infantry ranks.

"Just block here, let's kill one by one!" Their squadron damaged two, and seven tanks remained. Seven BT-7 tanks lined up in a row at intervals of more than ten meters, directly blocking the direction of the devil's advance.

The devil rushed up with a Type 38 rifle and a shiny bayonet. But the rain of bullets from a dozen machine guns stopped them, and the piles of minced flesh became an example for the devils who rushed up from behind. But at the moment of life and death, the red-eyed devil can't care about these anymore, and if he doesn't rush through this steel defense line, he will be chased and crushed by the tanks behind.

Gangs of devils rushed up, but more tanks broke through the devils' defenses and joined the steel line. And the other tanks continued to rush back and forth in the ranks of the devils.

When Zhang Lingfu's brigade caught up, all they saw was flesh and blood all over the ground, scattered and fleeing devils, and steel monsters hanging thick plasma hanging in the pile of corpses. On the plains, infantry lacking heavy weapons encountered tanks, which could only end in tragedy. The Devil's meat bomb attack only destroyed six tanks, but the bombing attack of more than 80 tanks plus aircraft killed one multi-wing.

After Zhang Lingfu's brigade entered the battle, the outcome was decided. Scattering is indeed a good way to deal with tanks and planes, but in the face of the infantry of the thousands of vanguard troops who pounced on them, the remaining more than 2,000 scattered devils can only be annihilated little by little.

"One of the lieutenant generals of the devil has been found!" The soldiers came to report, and Zhang Lingfu, who came to the front with the troops rushing forward, rushed over to check, but only saw a corpse whose head was crushed by the tank tracks, and the clothes on his body showed his identity.

"Find a captive to identify and see if it's Motojiro Taniguchi!" Zhang Lingfu shouted. My head is shattered, and I can only search for clues from my body.

"No more captives!" Lu Xing, who was next to him, whispered beside him, "Kill them all!" ”

Because of the burning of the city by the devils, Meng Xiang directly gave instructions to the clones not to leave prisoners, and they didn't even need coolies, and the clones carried out it thoroughly. Because of the high position, there are more things to scruple about, and some words can't be said casually, and being a bitch also needs to set up an archway. You can do that kind of killing prisoners, but you can't shout loudly. Therefore, Meng Xiang's orders were directly passed on to the clones, and their mouths were the strongest.

"Then let's take this dead body back!" Zhang Lingfu also had no choice but to leave it for later, "Look for it again, and see if there are any wing flags, code books or something!" ”

The capture of a devil's wing flag is an honor for Chinese soldiers. So far, the Vanguard has only captured a complete 41st Wing, and two broken Wing flags are only half left.

"This is the Wing Flag?!" A soldier shouted loudly, the cavalry that fell to the ground at the front had not been run over by the tank, but the submunitions that had not exploded were a headache and troublesome to clean up. However, Amagi's body was soon discovered due to the difference in clothing, and a piece of shrapnel was embedded in his temple. But there were two wing flags beside him, but after they were burned by fire, they were also mutilated, and less than half of them remained. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, he directly burned the United Flag, but because he died early, his body extinguished the flames.

"I'll be sure to capture it with my own hands!" Seeing that these two flags did not add up to a complete wing flag, Zhang Lingfu, who regretted it in his heart, secretly decided.

"The 114th Division was annihilated? Not bad. After Meng Xiang received the battle report, he was also excited. wiped out the two divisions of the devil 110 and 114 in a row, and see how the devil still put up the gossip array of the rumored eight divisions to strangle the vanguard army.

The destruction of these two divisions is also reasonable, the 110th Division has already been disabled, and the remaining one or two wings are shrinking in Weihai to survive. The 114th Division was disabled twice in a row, which was originally the level of the reserve, and the recruits who were replenished later were even worse, and they were attacked together by almost three times the number of vanguard troops in the sky and on the ground, and it was strange that it would not be destroyed.

"These divisions and regiments only make the devil's flesh hurt, and the destruction of the 13th division really makes the devil hurt his muscles and bones!" "It's not that the 5th and 10th divisions haven't fought! I can still destroy the main division! ”
