"Block, block these guys!"
Dohashi Ichiro drew his saber and shouted loudly.
He knew that he had to stop these big guys and give the troops time to retreat to the other side of the river.
At least, give the heavy artillery time to deploy.
Otherwise, the army will be blocked by the river and killed.
It's like Dunkirk.
Unlike Dunkirk, they had no navy to rescue them.
The navy's group of red deer hadn't seen the joke yet, so how could they come to the rescue?
"Hold these guys off and charge!"
Ozawa Tosaburo of the Independent Cavalry Brigade drew his saber and shouted.
His independent cavalry brigade has been responsible for the surrounding security.
Always at the outermost edge of the army.
Now that we encounter an enemy, we are naturally the first to attack.
The cavalrymen under him also raised their rifles and rushed towards the steel chariot on horseback.
They were not stupid enough to use their war horses to charge directly into the steel chariot.
Instead, prepare to use high mobility to bypass the back of the steel chariot.
Look for weaknesses and wait for opportunities to attack.
They rode horses and used the high speed to go around in both directions.
The machine gun on the tank kept firing.
A large number of cavalry were beaten into a hornet's nest.
After suffering huge casualties, the cavalry moved around to the back of the chariot.
However, when they arrived at the back of the chariot, they were shocked to find that the chariot had no front or rear.
There are as many machine gun muzzles in the back as there are in the front.
Those machine guns seemed impatient to wait for a long time.
As soon as they saw them, they kept spitting out tongues of fire.
A large number of cavalry were beaten to pieces.
"Retreat, retreat quickly."
The remaining cavalry wanted to withdraw.
However, at this moment, more armored combat vehicles rushed out of the woods.
Like the previous chariot, it formed a double-sided cheese sandwich posture, trapping these cavalrymen in the gap.
The tanks on both sides formed a crossfire.
These cavalrymen were beaten to the point where they were turned upside down.
Many people were beaten to pieces.
An independent cavalry brigade of more than 10,000 people suffered more than half casualties in an instant.
Many people fell off their horses and lay on the battlefield, wailing in pain.
Although they are not dead yet.
But it's only temporary.
Frightened horses, panicked crowds, and overturned chariots could turn them into mud at any time and nourish this land.
Let them give back to this land in another way.
"Baga, a bunch of losers."
Tuqiao on the bridge yelled angrily.
"32nd Division, get on top of me. If you can't stop the chariot, just die!"
Doqiao was furious and directly dispatched the core division of the 12th Army.
"Suicide Squad, come on!"
The commander of the 32nd Division personally drew his command sword and supervised the battle.
A group of death squads took off their shirts, tied white cross-bands on their chests, and tied their heads with victory straps. They held rifles and anti-tank bombs on their chests and charged towards the tank.
However, the Eighth Route Army has been using this method to fight for many years.
How is it possible to let others use this method to defeat your own chariot?
Machine gun barrels protruded from both sides of the tank, shooting at the people around them.
Break into pieces the groups of people who were trying to charge forward.
In order to prevent someone from pretending to be dead, he lay on the ground and waited for the chariot to approach before attacking.
A new batch of chariots came up from behind the chariots.
These tanks are equipped with a projectile device.
Explosive tubes were thrown into the place where the corpses were densely packed.
Boom!
Explosive tubes exploded.
The violent explosion detonated a surrounding anti-tank mine.
At the same time, the corpses were blown to pieces, directly clearing a passage for the tank.
The chariots that had arrived earlier continued to squeeze toward the river through these flesh and blood passages.
Seeing that the proud Banzai Charge was useless, the Japanese troops of the 12th Army panicked.
Now, the situation they faced was completely beyond the scope of the training manual.
No one told them what to do at this time.
A group of people making a mess.
Some people launched a desperate charge.
Some people tried to squeeze onto the long bridge to escape.
Some people try to swim across the Yangtze River.
Some people tried to dig trenches on the spot to defend themselves against the chariots.
However, those who charged were directly killed by machine guns.
Those who tried to dig trenches were crushed to pieces by the tracks of the tanks.
A large number of people were squeezed along the river.
Massive people were squeezed down the Yangtze River like dumplings.
At this moment, a large number of truck guns came from a distance.
These truck guns aimed at the pontoon bridge and the Japanese troops on the river and opened fire.
These shells all used shorter fuses, allowing the shells to explode directly in the air.
These shells exploded directly in mid-air, and the fragments hit the Japanese troops on the river.
The Japanese soldiers soaked in the water became more passive at this time.
Originally on the shore, there could still be something to cover it.
There is no shelter or obstruction in the river, and even movement is blocked.
You can only swim slowly.
There is no other option but to survive the explosion.
The Japanese soldiers on the bridge became even more panicked and accelerated towards the river.
A large number of people were pushed into the river.
Seeing this scene, Wei Wu's eyes suddenly came to an idea.
"Set fires and burn bridges!"
Wei Wu issued the order.
"Can't burn! My people are still over there."
Doqiao Yilang quickly grabbed Wei Wu.
"Hmph, do you want the Communist troops to rush over along the pontoon?"
"My mission is to defend Jinling. All possibilities that may lead to the fall of Jinling must be nipped in the bud. If these Communist tanks rush over and Jinling falls, can you bear the responsibility?"
Wei Wu said with a righteous expression.
"You, you are suppressing and retaliating!"
Tsuchibashi Ichiro shouted angrily.
"Hmph, Lieutenant General Dohashi, you have to speak responsibly. Do you have any evidence?"
"I also said that you attracted these communist troops. I suspect that you are an undercover agent sent by the communist army. Otherwise, how could the communist army come from your defense area?"
"Otherwise, why would the 12th Army, with more than 100,000 men, be blocked by the river and suffer heavy losses?"
"Otherwise, why did you try so hard to prevent me from cutting off the passage of the Communist troops?"
"You just want to attract the communist army and cause the fall of Jinling!"
"You are an undercover agent of the Communist Army!"
"You worm of the imperial army!"
"I will shoot you on behalf of the Emperor!"
The more Wei Wu said, the more excited he became. He felt like he was about to believe it. He pulled out the tortoise box and put a gun on Dohashi Ichiro's head.
It seemed like it was really going to break him.
The guards around Tuqiao also raised their rifles and pointed them at Wei Wu.
The guards behind Wei Wu also pointed their guns at the earth bridge.
The two sides reached a stalemate.
"Division commander, calm down, he is a lieutenant general after all, and the base camp has the final say if he is to be shot."
At this time, Sato rushed out and stopped Wei Wu.
"Hmph, it's your advantage. We can't just let this matter go. I will personally show my strength to the base camp."
Wei Wu looked at the situation and put away his gun, still looking like he was still angry.
It seems that I really think Dohashi Ichiro is a traitor.
Seeing Wei Wu's serious look, Tuqiao was also confused.
He reviewed what happened, and it seemed that it was exactly what Wei Wu said.
The enemy came from his defense zone.
The 12th Army was blocked by the river by him.
Under his leadership, the 12th Army suffered heavy casualties.
The most terrible thing is that he ordered not to destroy the passage through which the Communist troops came.
"Am I really a traitor?"
