Although the Japanese troops from Jining City, plus the Japanese troops on the front line of the Red Sand Spit, there were enough troops of five infantry brigades. Chen Hanzhang was able to mobilize the forces to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army, with only four infantry battalions, three battalions of a cavalry brigade, plus a tank regiment with two companies missing. However, Chen Hanzhang never considered the issue of the initiative on the battlefield.

For Chen Hanzhang, the current 69th Division, as long as it breaks away from Jining City, is a pile of corpses in his eyes. For him, there is only the consideration of choosing a cemetery for the Japanese army. And I didn't think about whether there would be any other outcome when fighting these Japanese troops.

Chen Hanzhang ate all the considerations of the 69th Division in one bite, so that the commander and political commissar of the Saibei Army Division, which was reorganized from the Daqingshan Guerrilla Detachment and the local armed forces of the Jinsui Military Region that had infiltrated the Great Wall in advance, were stunned and almost thought that they had heard it wrong.

It was the Japanese army of nearly five infantry brigades, not the puppet army of five brigades. When you have roughly equal strength, you actually want to swallow it all in one go, isn't it a little too big? Even if you have better equipment than the Japanese and have a large number of tanks to fight with, this is a bit exaggerated.

However, Chen Hanzhang didn't have much time to explain to his brothers, and let the results of the battle speak. After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Hanzhang still decided that if the 69th Division withdrew south, the battlefield would be placed between the Huangqihai and the Pingsui Railway. It starts from an unnamed river that flows into the Yellow Flag Sea in the east, reaches the Pingsui Railway in the west, and reaches the Goukouzi in the south within a radius of more than ten square kilometers.

This is the most suitable place to use your own tank in the terrain of Jining County, which is a plain in the middle of the mountains on both sides. Moreover, it is located between Fengzhen County and Jining County, and the large reeds on the west bank of the Yellow Flag Sea can also effectively conceal the troops.

Although Chen Hanzhang's hands and feet are very sharp, the adjustment of the deployment takes time. In particular, the troops he led to Fengzhen detoured, although most of the troops, did not enter the county seat of Fengzhen, but placed on the line that could contain the road from Jining to Fengzhen, as well as the ditch mouth on both sides of the Pingsui railway.

Just as his deployment had just been adjusted in place, Lieutenant General Inoue Sadawei's 69th Division in Jining County lined up in four neat columns, with a guard squadron on the left and right flanks, and quickly withdrew with cavalry as the lead. Almost to everyone's expectations, Lieutenant General Inoue Sadawei chose the retreat path not to take the mountains on both sides, but to retreat straight along the Pingsui Railway.

As for why, in the case of the huge disparity in maneuverability, the plain area that is most conducive to giving full play to the advantages of the anti-coalition tank cluster is because Inoue Sadawei is gambling. He was betting on an opponent who was also not superior in strength, believing that he would go through the mountains to avoid the opponent's tank clusters. The forces that could be used to encircle themselves were placed in the hilly areas on both sides.

Lieutenant General Inoue, in a gambling mentality, retreated south as fast as he could with his troops. Before the enemy reacts, he wants to bypass the Fengzhen line and withdraw to Datong from the Zhenchuankou line. As for General Okamura's order to recapture Toyozhen, he had no intention of carrying it out at all.

Even if his tricks can attract the enemy army to it, once he delays in Fengzhen for too long, and when the enemy army reacts, his previous efforts will be in vain. The enemy is all mechanized troops, and the ability to move is quite fast. If you delay a little, you will be blocked outside the Great Wall.

When Lieutenant General Inoue Sadae led his retreating army and passed a series of points of the flat spring and the worship temple very smoothly, the heart that had been chosen slowly let go. As long as you cross the Huhe Wusu River and enter the mountainous area, you are in danger of being out of danger.

It's just that Lieutenant General Inoue Sadawei didn't know that as soon as the troops he led arrived on the front line of the worship temple, behind him, Yi Liangpin had already personally commanded the troops to seize Pingdi Spring, blocking his route to retreat to Jining. An infantry battalion of its vanguard followed unhurriedly five kilometers behind the 69th Division.

When the vanguard of the 69th Division was on the west bank of the Huangqihai, Chen Hanzhang's troops deployed in the mountainous area west of the Pingsui Railway had quietly entered the line of Naobaogou and Danalinggou west of Pingsui Road. And with a part of the troops, it cooperated with the Independent Regiment of the Saibei Division to seize the first line of Goukouzi and block the road for the Japanese army to enter the mountain.

The tanks of all the participating units have been formed, and the artillery has been moved into place. At Guisui Airport, a squadron of A20 attack planes and a squadron of attack planes modified from MS 406 fighters have already taken off one after another and are flying towards the battlefield south of Jining.

But in the face of the 69th Division running wildly all the way, Chen Hanzhang was very patient. Although the vanguard of the Japanese army had crossed the west bank of the Yellow Flag Sea, he still calmly did not give the order to attack. He also had to stretch the Japanese army for a certain distance, and wait until most of the Japanese army had entered the narrow area between the west bank of the Huangqi Sea and the Pingsui Railway, and then launch an attack that would achieve greater results.

When the vanguard cavalry squadron of the 69th Division arrived at Goukouzi, the large army had already entered the line of Dashanjian, Beifang, and Nanying on the west bank of the Yellow Flag Sea, and the follow-up troops had already passed the worship temple. Chen Hanzhang, who felt that the time had come, gave the general attack order to the various troops that had been deployed in place.

The first to start the attack were the two squadrons of attack planes that had been circling for a long time over the west of the Pingsui Railway. The 24 A20 attack planes of the first squadron took advantage of their thick skin and flesh to cross the sky above the Japanese marching brigade at a low altitude. Accurately poured all the 16 tons of napalm suspended in the belly magazine on the heads of the Japanese soldiers.

It was the first time that the 69th Division, which had obviously no experience in dealing with napalm, adopted the tactic of evading conventional high-explosive bombs after the air force of the Anti-United Nations flew overhead, in an attempt to reduce the damage caused by the air raids.

But he didn't expect that the napalm thrown by the Anti-Union would burn a large piece. People within a hundred meters of the dropped bomb had nowhere to hide. In the immediate vicinity of the explosion point, the conventional lying down tactics basically had no effect, and even finding concealment did not have any effect.

As long as the Japanese soldiers affected by the fire caused by the explosion were either burned alive or directly cremated on the spot. The casualties caused by these 16 tons of napalm to the retreating 69th Division were quite enormous. The napalm, which exerted its greatest power on the plains, inflicted casualties on the 69th Division even greater than a 100-ton conventional bomb.

Even the Japanese soldiers who were hidden in the house were burned to the ground along with the people and the house. This bombing directly sent one-third of the troops of the 69th Division back to the arms of Amaterasu. The entire Japanese army marched in a column, and there were charred Japanese corpses everywhere. The few artillery pieces that were there were also bombed into the sky by artillery and horses during the air raid.

When the 24 A20 attack planes had dropped all the bombs, the blazing flames ignited by napalm on the ground had not been extinguished. After a circle in the air, the attack planes turned back and used the five 12-millimeter machine guns on board to dive down from three directions in two echelons.

These planes lined up along the Japanese army in batches, and swept wildly with machine guns. It wasn't until all the bullets and bombs on the plane were emptied that he was satisfied and flew away with ease. After the attack planes finished bombing, the eight P-40 fighters that were acting as cover also dived down without encountering any threat. With an on-board machine gun, it was another wild sweep.

And just when the A20 attack planes and cover aircraft group were torturing the 69th Division in the airspace, they did not hesitate to spill the bombs and machine gun bullets they carried on the heads of the 69th Division. In the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the French MS 406 attack aircraft squadron, which is called the grouse because of its small and exquisite, covering Yi Liangpin's tank mechanized group, has chased up from behind.

Before the 69th Division could wake up from the stormy air strike, Yi Liangpin had already commanded his tank cluster to rush over at high speed from the east and north directions. At the same time, the armored cavalry group commanded by Chen Hanzhang also took the cavalry as the lead, and cooperated with the tanks to cross the Pingsui Railway under the cover of artillery fire, and rushed towards the Japanese army from the west and south.

In the face of the anti-coalition tank armored cavalry group surrounded on all sides, the only few artillery pieces, the 69th Division, which had already been destroyed in the embers in the air raid, was powerless to resist. Finally gathered some troops and tried to block the anti-United Nations forces that were surrounded on all sides.

However, the attack planes that swooped down from the sky, and an air-to-ground rocket and machine gun swept away, disrupting some of the assembled troops. Finally, the planes ran out of rockets and machine-gun bullets and retreated. The long-range artillery fire of the Anti-United Nations exploded again.

The 69th Division, which suffered heavy casualties in the bombardment, was under open and ground fire. Before they had time to construct fortifications, the entire marching army column was under the cover of artillery fire, rushing at high speed to resist the attack of the tank cavalry of the United Nations, tearing to pieces. Within an hour of the start of the battle, the whole army was thrown into disarray.

In the plains, infantry without fortifications fought in mechanized clusters of tanks and cavalry, which was a tragedy for any army. Although the Japanese army was not afraid of death, it still did not change its fierce spirit. A large number of death squad members were sent to strapped grenades to try to open a gap in the tank offensive of the Anti-United Nations and cover the main force of the division to break through.

However, the death squads sent out did not play any role at all under the intensive fire of the infantry of the anti-United Nations covering tank clusters. The troops that were sent, not the machine guns on the half-tracked armored vehicles that had not yet approached the flanks of the tanks, were beaten into a hornet's nest. It was the infantry who was pulled from the tank, and the automatic rifle in his hand was beaten into a sieve at a distance of two hundred meters.

In order to contain the onslaught of the anti-United Nations tanks, the Japanese army's decisive charge not only failed to contain the offensive of the anti-United Nations, but on the contrary, it took a considerable part of the combat soldiers themselves. Although Inoue made a large number of incendiary bombs out of gasoline and wine bottles before he set off, the losses caused by these meat bomb attacks to the tanks of the Anti-Union can only be described as insignificant.

Less than four hours after the battle began, Chen Hanzhang had already completed the division of the 69th Division cleanly. The entire 69th Division was divided into six large and small pieces. Some of the troops on the right flank were even crushed by Yi Liangpin's tank mechanized clusters, and they were forced to drive down the Yellow Flag Sea in a panic.

After completing the division of the 69th Division, Chen Hanzhang immediately launched a general attack without the slightest hesitation. In order to reduce casualties, as well as speed up the course of the battle, although it was known that it would not be easy to transport fuel and bombs from the rear to Gui Sui. However, Chen Hanzhang still ordered the air force that had already been stationed in Guisui to take off again to carry out an air attack on the Japanese army that had been divided. A quick battle and a quick solution to solve the Japanese army in front of him as quickly as possible is Chen Hanzhang's only thought at the moment.
