"Hey, it really doesn't take a beating."
Yuan Li looked at the three tank wreckages with billowing smoke, a look of disdain on his face.
Surrounded by six Shermans and more than a dozen T26s, the Little Devil's tank had no suspense and was instantly blown to pieces by concentrated shells.
Subconsciously knocking on the steel plate of the Sherman tank, the hardness under the touch seemed to be full of power. This made Yuan Li couldn't help but sigh: This is what a steel monster should look like. Compared with it, what is the Nine-Seven? Type...t26...that's far from enough.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the opposite machine: "Captain Yuan, I am Yang Zeshui of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment. The division commander ordered us to cooperate with each other and advance quickly."
"Understood, Commander Yang, I will ask the tank formation to slow down, and you have to catch up as soon as possible!" Yuan immediately replied, his eyes gradually looking into the distance, and the sound of explosions in the open space two or three kilometers away was constantly coming.
Eating the Japanese tank brigade is just an appetizer, the real meal is yet to come.
"Battal Commander, the Fifth Company reported that three T26s broke down and couldn't fire." In the advancing tank team, the soldiers quickly reported the report.
World War II tanks with unreliable mechanical properties often have various problems during combat. What's more, the T26 is strictly a product before World War II and is particularly prominent on the battlefields of Southeast Asia where the environment is more complex and harsh.
"Let the crew deal with it themselves first while the others move on."
Yuan Li made a prompt decision and ordered in a deep voice: "The tank formation begins to speed up, the armored vehicle troops are at the rear, and the infantry must move quickly to clear up the rear."
The 56th Regiment, which was originally following the chariot brigade, was in a bad situation at the moment. It could even be said that they had entered a place like Shura's purgatory.
The Artillery Regiment of the Third Division fired at them continuously for 20 minutes. In this open area with no obstructions, the air wave from the 105 howitzer was like a hurricane, which could instantly roll people into the sky like rolling leaves, let alone that The 155 howitzer is completely the king of this land.
The artillery battalions of the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment also turned their guns at this time and used artillery shells to baptize the little devils without any scruples.
Thousands of Japanese were completely exposed to this suffocating firepower. The dense single impact point even caused the same shell to be hit by two or more rounds.
The caliber is justice, the turret is the truth, the explosion pierces the clouds, cracks the rocks, and resounds through the sky. The sound of wind and thunder that destroys the dead and plows the courtyard and sweeps the holes is the roar of truth in the world!
When it was all over, the battlefield was filled with charred blackness, countless bullet casings as far as the eye could see, and corpses and mutilated limbs all over the ground accompanied by bursts of disgusting blood.
More little Japanese had their internal organs shattered by the explosion. What seemed calm on the surface was actually a cold corpse. There were also many Japanese who fainted from the explosion. They fell to the ground with their fate unknown.
Those Japanese who were lucky enough to survive the artillery fire were stunned. Looking at the pieces of broken limbs and rotten internal organs around them, everyone was filled with incomparable fear.
Everyone knows that the 56th Wing is basically finished...
Before the surviving Japanese defeated generals could react, the 15 tanks led by Yuan Li and the countless armored vehicles behind them formed a torrent of steel, rushing toward them at extremely fast speeds and slamming into the little devil's head. in the team.
How could these remnant soldiers resist the powerful tank convoy? They collapsed like the fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind. They no longer cared about any orders and fled in all directions, abandoning their helmets and armor.
"This group of impetuous little devils must know how powerful they are now. I guess the division commander opposite will collapse."
At the observation post at the division headquarters, Fang Jingyao said with interest as he looked at the smoke-filled battlefield that was covered by clouds and sun.
"You haven't contacted that guy Long Wenwen yet?"
Liao Mingyu on the side was still lying on the artillery mirror and watching the front carefully. The battlefield trends had already been sent to him through the radio and radio machine. The miserable situation of the little devil could be more or less observed on this hillside. After waiting for so long, he couldn't see it. Just for this moment?
"This... not yet." Fang Jingyao shook his head and answered truthfully.
In the past few days, except for a regiment who took the initiative to contact the division headquarters, the telegrams sent there were like silence and no response was received at all. Fang Jingyao only knew that Long Wenwen and the others had climbed over those mountains and went around behind the Japanese, but specifically where The location is unknown.
"This bastard thing, let's see how I deal with him when he comes back!"
Liao Mingyu cursed angrily, raised his head and ordered sternly:
"Forget it, leave them alone, order the engineering regiment and guard battalion to follow the 200 Division to join the counterattack, and give orders to Xing Fuquan and Chen Jize to immediately organize the second and third regiments to counterattack across the board, and eat the 18th Division for me!"
"clear!"
At this time, the Japanese in the rear did not know what had happened. Because of the obstruction of Highland 233, they could hardly see the open land from their position. They only felt the sudden loud sound of artillery in front, followed by tanks. The brigade lost contact with the 56th Wing.
Seeing that the effects of air support and poison gas bombs were about to disappear, Tanaka Shinichi, who was not sure what to do, immediately ordered the 55th Regiment to attack the main position, hoping to attract and reduce the pressure on the open field.
The two sides fought extremely fiercely. I thought that the Chinese would suffer heavy casualties after being hit by gas bombs. Unexpectedly, the 55th Wing still encountered very tenacious resistance during the attack.
The situation fell into a stalemate for a time, and Tanaka, who was impatient, continued to invest more troops on the battlefield, and even the division's direct brigade was sent out.
Li Liansheng, who was on the top of the mountain, finally seized the opportunity. He immediately ordered his soldiers to launch the poison gas bombs with several Type 92 infantry cannons that were already at a good distance.
The unsuspecting Japanese soldiers ran headlong into the deadly poisonous fog. Needless to say, the horror of mustard gas. They never dreamed that one day they would taste the taste of poison gas bombs.
It happened that the wind was blowing from the south, and the bone-corrosive and deadly mustard gas drifted in the wind and enveloped most of the attacking team.
Even though the little Japanese like to play with gas bombs, they don't have much protective equipment, and gas masks are not popular at all. A large number of Japanese soldiers can only cover their necks and fall to the ground in the poisonous fog, and their death is extremely miserable.
The Japanese commander immediately ordered a retreat. Facing the mustard gas, they were helpless and could only run as fast as they could. How dare they continue to attack.
The defeat on the front line made Tanaka Shinichi very angry, but when the bad news came that the tank brigade was destroyed and the 56th Regiment was defeated, he was dumbfounded***! An attacking team of four to five thousand people was defeated in less than an hour? How can this be! "
Chief of Staff Ushijima also had an expression of disbelief, grabbed the communications soldier's collar and roared viciously.
"Hi eh"
Although the communication soldier was scared, he still told the actual situation: "The enemy...the enemy's chariot troops are advancing very quickly. Colonel Kamiki is gathering the remaining soldiers and leading troops to stop the enemy, but..."
"Just what!?"
"It's just that the enemy's offensive was too fierce. The 56th Regiment suffered numerous casualties. Captain Eguchi Regiment was seriously injured. The entire battle tank brigade... has been completely shattered."
