"Crunch ......"

As the tracks ran over the ground, the fresh dirt kept flying, leaving a deep rut mark on the ground.

Liu Yi is the commander of a car numbered 214.

Feel the violent shaking from the forward movement of the tank.

The center of gravity of his body also swayed.

He's used to it.

By looking through the periscope, he was able to see clearly what was going on in the position.

Soon his tank ran into the first obstacle - anti-tank trenches.

"Where's the engineering truck? Call the engineering truck to come up and fill the trench. "

The commander shouted at the radio communicator.

It was at this moment that the tank shook slightly.

Then there was a crisp metal crash.

Suddenly, Liu Yi was taken aback.

"Anti-tank guns!"

Then his eyes came to the periscope to observe the situation outside.

The rest of the tank crew also gathered into their MK4 binoculars to take a look.

"Commander, I found it, azimuth 286, about 300 meters away, there is a sandbag bunker, I see the barrel. "

Hearing this, Liu Yi quickly locked on to the target.

Sure enough, I saw a cannon barrel emitting white smoke.

It was the PAKL/45 type 37-mm anti-tank gun from Germany.

"Gunner, knock him out, drop him. "

And at the moment on the gun position.

Several Nationalist soldiers were cheering after seeing the tank hit.

And when it was seen that the armor-piercing shells they fired were easily bounced off by the tilted armor of the turret.

I was dumbfounded.

Then they saw a horrible scene.

The huge barrel of this massive tank turned.

The muzzle of the gun seemed to be aimed at them.

"Evacuate ....."

After seeing this scene, the team leader couldn't help but feel like a ghost and roared.

However, it was already night.

The muzzle of the cannon flickered.

A high-explosive bomb whizzed towards them.

"Boom ....."

The leader of the anti-tank squad only felt a huge force coming down, and his eyes went black.

Faintly, there was a tearing sensation from his body.

The whole person was blown into several pieces.

Anti-tank guns were also thrown straight out.

The wooden wheels were blown to pieces in the explosion.

The long shell was blown off.

The power of the 85 mm caliber tank gun was still sufficient.

29 "Bell Bell ....."

With his fire.

Suddenly, a barrage of bullets hit the surface armor.

A Maxim heavy machine gun was firing at them.

At this time, a construction truck with a shovel finally came up and began to fill the trench.

And for that point of machine-gun fire, they were also unceremonious.

Just run over.

However, this time it did not hit, but hit the dirt slope more than ten meters in front of the machine-gun fire point.

The only thing that is not satisfying about the T-34/85 is.

The diesel engine in the rear did not have shock absorption, which caused the tank to shake a lot when it was stopped.

This also leads to a big flaw.

That is, the shooting accuracy has dropped significantly.

A certain level of accuracy can only be guaranteed within 500 meters.

However, it is completely sufficient in China.

The next generation of tanks is already in the works.

In a short time, the anti-tank trench ahead was covered with a layer of dirt.

The width is also fully enough for one tank to pass.

During this period, 214 vehicles fired a total of 6 shells.

Destroyed 3 enemy fire points, killing and wounding more than 10 people.

Directly swept all the fire points in front of him.

In the sky, the fighters newly reinforced by the Air Force also began to become active.

Once it is discovered that there are emerging national troops in the position.

Rockets, aerial bombs and machine-gun bullets beckoned directly.

"Let the infantry behind hurry up and keep up. "

A soldier jumped from the M3 halftrack in the rear.

During this period, the tank's machine guns never stopped.

Constant firing at the forward positions suppressed the firepower of the national army.

Once the infantry was in position, the massive tank finally began to move.

Machine gun fire points and anti-tank fire points are the priority targets for tank destruction.

At a short distance of three hundred meters, soon the tank rushed to the front of the position.

Suddenly, in the middle of a broken position about 60 meters in front of the right.

Several Nationalist soldiers with explosive packs rushed out like crazy.

Without waiting for the tank to react.

The infantry accompanying the tanks risked being hit by bullets and attacked them.

The dense fire of the STG-44 rifle swept them directly to the ground.

Crushed their minds about wanting to blow up tanks.

Accompanied by the approach of the tank.

The soldiers of the national army on the position finally couldn't hold back anymore and began a total rout.

Originally, they were held on the battlefield with guns on the ground, and they had no intention of fighting.

And there isn't even a decent position.

Let them have something to resist this torrent of steel.

All the weapons in their hands are helpless against these tanks.

It also made them extremely afraid of these war behemoths.

When someone runs away desperately.

It's like dominoes.

The whole line is starting to crumble.

But how can two legs outrun a tank.

After the 214 car caught up with dozens of national troops, it did not open fire directly.

Just chase it slowly.

Finally, the soldiers in front couldn't stand it anymore.

Just put it up and don't run, drop your weapon and raise your hands to surrender directly.

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers also threw down their weapons and surrendered.

They are facing their own people, not external enemies.

So there is no shame in surrendering.

This is also the norm in warlord melees.

The total rout also began to evolve into a mass surrender.

After clearing the outer defense line of Jining City.

The Second Mechanized Division launched a large siege of Jining City.

The three regiments presented a pincer offensive and outflanked Jining City.

A small Jining city poured into the entire army of the 18th Army, which was extremely crowded.

Less than an hour.

The out-of-town positions, defended by one division, were lost.

This also made Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong's hearts extremely heavy.

"Report to the army commander, the Northeast Army has launched an attack on the gap in our wall. "

In the midst of heavy artillery fire.

The walls of Jining City are almost demolished.

Now the 18th Army is fighting hard against the ruins of the city walls.

Compared to the 53rd Division, a miscellaneous division.

The 18th Army was indeed better armed.

The will to fight is also more tenacious than theirs.

Their resistance was even fiercer.

However, the Northeast Army directly placed the tank in front of them as a shield for fire suppression.

also beat the defenders of the 18th Army out of temper.

"Retreat some distance, our heavy artillery has already come up, let them bombard for half an hour. "

After seeing this scene, the commander of the Second Mechanized Infantry Division said to the officers on the side.

"Yes!"

The heavy artillery in his mouth was naturally the slower-moving T92 self-propelled gun.

This tank is too heavy.

The railway in Kannai could not transport such heavy artillery.

So they had to use heavy tank trailers to transport them.

This is a 92-ton heavy tank transporter specially developed for the T30 super-heavy self-propelled gun.

Used to replace the original, slower trailer.

"Retreat, sir, we have repelled the attack of the Northeast Army. "

When you see the armored army retreating in an orderly manner like a tide.

There were cheers from the side of the 18th Army defenders.

This good news was also reported to Chen Cheng's side.

However, some of the veterans had solemn faces.

"Everybody go into the cannon-shelter bunker, a little faster. "

The Northeast Army suddenly retreated halfway through the attack.

This is not good news for them.

Because this often means that the shelling is about to begin.

Just as they were preparing to retreat.

The 54T92 super-heavy self-propelled howitzers of the 1st Heavy Artillery Division have begun to fire a salvo.

"Boom, boom, boom......."

Shells weighing up to 160 kilograms whizzed and smashed in. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Boom.... Rumble.... Boom ......"

Compared to 155 mm heavy howitzers.

The M1 super-heavy self-propelled gun, with a caliber of up to 240 mm, was much more powerful.

With one shot, everything around it was reduced to ashes, and the bricks of the solid city wall were directly blown into powder.

Gravel and stones flew all over the sky, rushing into the air for hundreds of meters.

Then it fell on the perimeter.

Each explosion was accompanied by a shaking of the earth.

It was as if there had been a mini-earthquake.

Some of the soldiers who had retreated to the rear were better.

The impact was not very large.

But the soldiers of the 18th Army, who were hiding in improvised artillery fortifications, suffered.

The 240 mm guns were designed to deal with strong fortifications.

How can a simple anti-artillery hole be able to stop it?

Not to mention the salvo of a full 54 heavy guns.

A wave of shells came down, causing heavy casualties to the 18th Army guarding the gap in the ruins.

Huge craters littered the perimeter of the ruins of the city walls.

Seeing this scene, the 18th Army, which felt the power of the shelling, felt a sense of horror from top to bottom.

It was the first time they had seen such a powerful heavy artillery.

Being under the cover of shelling is like being in a postpocalyptic hell.

I can only wait powerlessly for the verdict of death.

Chen Cheng put his hands on the table miserably, stabilizing his somewhat shaky figure.

His face turned a little pale at the moment.

When the shaking stopped, he immediately asked, "What's going on?"

Could it be that this is a shock from the shelling?

No, it can't be.

How large caliber of heavy artillery could this make his underground command post shake so violently.

Gu Zhutong hurriedly ran down at this time.

His military hat was a little crooked, and his face was full of panic.

"Big things don't work, big things don't go good.

The Northeast Army used a large number of heavy artillery.

The power of these heavy guns was unprecedented, at least more than 200 mm.

And there are so many of them that the Jining city defense simply cannot withstand an artillery bombardment of this scale. "

Chen Cheng's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

"What? at least more than 200 mm?"

How can they be, they actually want the Northeast Army to use such heavy artillery.

No, this is not a heavy artillery yet.

It's a moving fortress cannon.

This Northeast Army does not talk about martial arts at all.

"What should we do now?"

Chen Cheng fell silent after hearing Gu Zhutong's question.

"Boom.... Rumble..... Boom ......."

Suddenly, there was another shake.

A new round of shells fell again.

The old ruins have become new ruins.

Hold back the fear in your heart.

Chen Cheng said with a trembling tone: "Retreat, hold on until night, then remove Jining and retreat in the direction of Kaifeng." "

This time he was really scared.

If you keep fighting.

Neither his 18th Army nor his 87th Division will survive tomorrow.

The 18th Army represents his position in the national army.

Once the 18th Army is gone, his position will also be in jeopardy.

Gu Zhutong couldn't say anything hard at the moment.

"Block, we must block the attack of the Northeast Army. "

When the shelling, which lasted for half an hour, was over.

A new round of offensive is coming again.

Under the bombardment of 54 240-mm guns.

There were not many bunkers left for the 18th Army.

Dozens of tanks withstood their firepower, covering the infantry to rush inside.

Each T-34/85 tank was hit by at least one anti-tank gun.

However, the good thing is that the 37-mm anti-tank gun they use is weak in armor-piercing.

Unable to pose a threat to the heavy armor of the T-34/85 tanks.

In the case of very few losses.

The 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division managed to break through their city defenses and storm the city.

"Fight steadily, don't rush in, and force them out of Jining City. "

Street fighting has always been something that the Northeast Army wants to avoid.

He bet that Chen Cheng did not have the determination to live and die with Jining City.

As long as it advances steadily, it will shrink their living space.

They will surely retreat this evening.

And he deliberately did not place troops in the west of the city.

It's just to let go of a gap and let them go.

This is also the classic circumference of three missing one.

However, he was not ready to let Chen Cheng go.

Instead, 190 arranged an ambush of a division in the vicinity of Jiaxiang County, nearly 20 kilometers west of the city.

As long as Chen Cheng's 18th Army withdrew from Jining and went west.

will crash headlong into the encirclement.

After entering the city, the second mechanized infantry division adopted a steady and steady strategy.

Heavy firepower is rarely used, though.

But it still put great pressure on the defenders of the 18th Army.

It also compresses their living space to a large extent.

Now Chen Cheng is extremely looking forward to the day as soon as it gets dark.

The offensive of the Northeast Army was simply too fierce.

If it weren't for the fact that he had the advantage in troops.

I'm afraid that it may not be able to survive until it gets dark.

Night soon fell.

The 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division occupied almost a quarter of the city of Jining.

Drive the 18th Army to the center and west of the city.

After dark, the various units of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division tacitly stopped the attack.

This also made the 18th Army breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let the 50th Division take over the defensive line, and the rest of the divisions will assemble to the west of the city and retreat on time at 11 o'clock. "

The 50th Division itself was a ragtag army used as cannon fodder.

Chen Cheng did not hesitate to arrange it.

As long as there are no problems with his 18th Army.

But the 50th Division is not a fool either.

When it was known that Chen Cheng sent them to the front to take over the fortifications.

I knew that I was preparing to run away.

This also made this group of men from Hunan feel cold.

"Division commander, you are really like a god, Chen Cheng has already retreated from the direction of Xicheng with his troops, and their vanguard troops have already left the city. "

The division commander smiled when he heard this.

"That's right, just wait for them to enter the 102nd Division's bag formation.

Let the 4th and 5th regiments better prepare for the attack.

As soon as I started there, I immediately tightened my pockets. "

Chen Cheng, who was sitting in the car, always felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart for some reason.

He glanced back at Jining City in the night and sighed.

This time, they can be regarded as planting a big heel in the Northeast Army.

But as long as the troops are okay.

I don't know how long I walked, but the drowsy Chen Cheng was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves.

"Report to the army commander, a few kilometers ahead is the county seat of Jiaxiang, do you need to enter the city?"

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said with some annoyance: "Are you a pig's brain? The Northeast Army is in Jining City behind you, are you not afraid that they won't be able to catch up?"

Bypass the county seat and continue westward. "

This turnaround went directly into the pocket formation of the 102nd Infantry Division.

When they passed through the county seat of Jiaxiang and came to the foot of a mountain called Xiaojinshan.

Three infantry regiments of the 102nd Division were killed from three directions.

75-mm field guns, 105-mm and 150-mm howitzers, as well as mortars of various calibers, opened fire.

Cannonballs rained down on the front and rear ends of the marching procession.

Suddenly there was artillery bombardment, and troops came out from all directions.

Immediately, the marching contingent of tens of thousands of people in the entire 18th Army panicked.

Chen Cheng almost went black after seeing this scene.

No wonder this retreat went so smoothly.

It turned out to be waiting for him here.

"It's over!".
