Chapter 493 Okamura Neiji Vomits Blood
The Japanese soldiers looked at the sky full of planes and felt like they were flying. Without the suppression of the independent column's planes, they could provide fire support to their heart's content.
The infantry of the independent column will suffer a devastating disaster!
Wang Meng and Li Yunlong walked out of the command center and looked at the numerous planes without any fear.
"Are we almost there?"
"Ok!"
Above the clouds, a group of planes appeared faintly, and they were painted with the Independent Column's iconic five-pointed star.
"Gentlman, it must be boring to fly planes and bomb the Japanese positions in Yunnan every day. Now let's see if you can still fight! Charge, boys!"
At Chennault's command, a mixed formation of the Flying Tigers and the aviation division rushed down, with a total of two hundred fighter planes.
In addition, there were sixty B-17 Flying Fortress bombers that did not stay on the battlefield but flew to Fengzhen, north of Datong.
Not to mention the Japanese, even the officers and soldiers of the Independent Column did not expect that so many Independent Column planes would appear!
Now it was the turn of the soldiers of the independent column to cheer. They no longer worried about the planes laying eggs above their heads, but instead focused their attention on the Japanese soldiers in front of them.
The automatic rifle fired loudly, continuously piercing the chests of the Japanese soldiers!
The 138th Division and the 148th Division in the south of Datong were trapped by two armored divisions and one infantry division and began to retreat!
Suemitsu Harahiro's guards forced a gap in the south and fled southward.
"No pursuit allowed, immediately support Zhou Shizhuang and double the town construction!"
Chu Yunfei's infantry division immediately went east to reinforce, while Kong Jie and Ding Wei's armored divisions continued to clean up the remaining Japanese devils.
The 2nd Armored Division in the north, with the strength of a tank regiment of 90 tanks, held back an enemy tank division.
If it weren't for the help of anti-tank rocket launchers, we wouldn't be able to stop them even if we fought with all our might.
But now the Japanese have passed the narrow section, and hundreds of tanks have been lined up in a row, and their firepower advantage will be fully demonstrated.
"Order all soldiers to retreat! Including the tank regiment!"
"What? Retreat?"
"Retreat if you're told to! Immediately!"
"Yes!"
Although Zhang Dabiao was completely puzzled, he still carried out Li Yunlong's orders.
Not long after leaving the position, with the help of the faint light, the bombers of the independent column lowered their altitude and began to aim at the Japanese tank cluster below!
"The target has been confirmed. The Japanese tank group and infantry group, request to drop bombs!"
"You can drop bombs!"
Each B-7 Flying Fortress bomber was fully loaded with 8 tons of bombs, and a total of 480 tons of aerial bombs were poured over the heads of the Japanese Fifth Tank Division.
There was no need to think too much. The wreckage of the Japanese tanks was scattered all over the ground, like cans being opened, scattered on the Fengzhen front line.
Zhang Dabiao listened to the deafening explosion, looked at the Japanese tanks burning fiercely, and touched his hat.
Fortunately, I escaped early, otherwise, if the bomber's hand shook and fell on my head, I would have no place to complain.
"Let's go and clean up the battlefield!"
Zhang Dabiao's Second Armored Division began to appear on the scene and slowly cleaned up the battlefield.
To the south, the 6th and 7th Armored Divisions had just cleared the pass and set off on their vehicles.
I thought I was late and wouldn't even be able to have a sip of soup, but I didn't expect that not long after I set out, I would run into Suemitsuhara Hiro who was fleeing south.
The result of two armored divisions ready to go against the Japanese fleeing troops is predictable.
Motomitsuhara Hiro died in battle at Huairen.
After killing Sue Guangyuan Guang, the 6th Armored Division and the 7th Armored Division immediately turned their spearheads towards the eastern part of Datong in accordance with the orders of Li Yunlong and Wang Meng.
So, two fully-strength armored divisions, one infantry division and two armored divisions that had held their positions for many days launched a counterattack against the 125th Division and the 138th Division together!
Without any effort, they defeated the two divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army and put them in disarray.
After Huairen was opened up, a steady stream of supplies were transported to Datong.
After all the armored divisions were replenished, a counterattack was launched across the board!
After clearing out the Fifth Tank Division, Zhang Dabiao's Second Armored Division immediately marched towards Baotou, 360 kilometers away.
Wang Huaibao's First Armored Division took the Fengzhen route and attacked Hohhot.
Shen Quan's Third Armored Division also took the Fengzhen route to attack Ulanqab.
Xing Zhiguo's Sixth Armored Division and Dai Anlan's Seventh Armored Division, having suffered the least losses, pursued eastward and threatened Zhangjiakou.
Ding Wei's 4th Armored Division and Kong Jie's 5th Armored Division were heading towards Peking.
Chu Yunfei's mountain infantry division was clearing out the remnants of the Japanese troops all over the mountains, just like catching wild rabbits.
At 12:00 p.m., three green flares were launched into the sky.
All armored divisions began to attack towards their designated targets.
Take advantage of his illness to kill him!
It wasn't that Li Yunlong and Wang Meng had to chase the desperate enemy, but if they didn't show the Japanese a lesson, they would really treat their independent column as a soft persimmon.
Moreover, only by pushing the front line out and ensuring that Datong has strategic depth can Datong be truly safe.
In addition, Wang Meng also has his own wishful thinking, which is Mongolia!
Whether it is Outer Mongolia or Inner Mongolia, it must be the Mongolia of the Chinese!
Therefore, from Baotou to Hohhot, and then to Ulanqab, in short, the independent column must be nailed to the Mongolian steppe like a nail.
Today is Ulanqab, tomorrow it will be Ulaanbaatar!
Okamura Neiji in Peiping received battle reports from the front. Even though he ordered the Kwantung Army not to retreat, it was of no avail.
The defeat was like a landslide. The Kwantung Army was like rabbits all over the mountains, retreating desperately to the east.
Okamura Neiji spat out a mouthful of blood and only recovered after a long while.
"Order, all participating troops to retreat immediately! Including the troops in Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, and Anyang!"
When Okamura Neiji thought that his field regiment was unable to defeat the second-line troops of the independent column, the so-called mobile regiment?
He had to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Independent Column. Perhaps twice the number of troops was no longer enough to defeat the Independent Column.
The next day, the independent column captured Baotou, Hohhot and Ulanqab, and with the support of Zhao Gang, prepared to form an armed police force and establish a regime.
Zhang Dabiao, Wang Huaibao and Shen Quan were stationed in Baotou, Hohhot and Ulanqab respectively, and would make other plans after the regime was stabilized.
Xing Zhiguo and Dai Anlan, who were heading east, also stopped at the border between Shanxi and Hebei to guard against Zhangjiakou.
The two old partners, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, were also eyeing Peking with eager eyes.
"When the situation stabilizes, transfer Wang Huaibao and Ding Wei's First and Fourth Armored Divisions back to Pingshun for rest and recuperation! They suffered a lot of losses in this battle, let them have a good rest!"
"Okay, and besides that, do we need to consider expansion and reorganization?"
