There were dense and violent explosions, not to mention the Japanese air defense team at the center of the explosion. Even the Japanese baggage troops a hundred meters away were also affected. There was a truck full of Japanese Type 97s. The 57mm artillery shells used by the tanks were detonated throughout the vehicle. The shells flew in all directions and exploded in a large area.
The explosion also alerted the Japanese 13th Tank Regiment, which was detouring and preparing to outflank several kilometers away. Regiment Commander Heng Lu Yousan quickly ordered the troops to stop advancing, climbed out of the tank and took a few people to run hurriedly to the nearby hillside. .
After climbing to a high enough height, Henglu Yousan had already seen the People's Liberation Army aircraft formation flying through the sky, and he was already shocked.
This time, the commander of the action brigade deliberately chose a hidden mountain road to march. He was worried about being discovered by Xie Baoqing's aircraft troops, so he chose this road to bypass the occupied area of the 10th theater and prepared to attack this time. It was also Yang Aiyuan's unit in the second theater, which had nothing to do with Xie Baoqing's troops. However, he unexpectedly encountered Xie Baoqing's troops.
Climbing up a large exposed rock, the smoke billowing from the explosion area that was attacked in the distance became clearer.
Yokoro Yuzo hurriedly grabbed the radio transmitter from the attendant's hand and called: "Moxi Moxi, Chief Kitahara, I am Yokoro Yuzo. What happened there?"
Yokoji Yusan called for a long time but did not receive a reply. Little did he know that Kitahara Saku had been blown to pieces at this time. He then started calling Yoshio Yamaguchi of the 17th Tank Regiment.
Yamaguchi Yoshio was currently in the explosion area of the cluster bomb. Even if he could survive, he would not have time to deal with Shinji Yokoji.
Henglu Yousan called to no avail for a long time, and was hesitating whether he should cancel the outflanking mission assigned by Kitarasaku. At this time, he was horrified to find that a People's Liberation Army armored unit was coming from directly in front of his unit, and the opponent's unit had already The offensive formation was launched.
Henglu Yousan was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the radio and issued an order to his troops: "If the People's Liberation Army tank troops are found in the front, they will immediately enter the first level of combat readiness and prepare to fight."
Heng Lu Yousan's 13th Tank Regiment is still maintaining its marching formation, one after another forming a long snake on the rugged mountain road, while the Second Tank Regiment of the People's Liberation Army has already received the order from Xie Tian from the air. Knowing that they were about to encounter a large number of Japanese tanks, the thirty-five X-1 main battle tanks had already formed a favorable offensive formation and moved forward.
Fortunately, the mountains in this mountainous area are relatively gentle, and the angle of the slopes is not difficult for the powerful X-1 main battle tank. When Heng Lu Yousan discovered it, one hundred tanks of the 13th Tank Regiment were parked on the winding mountain road. Many tanks are already within the cannon range of the X-1 main battle tank.
Seeing more than a hundred tanks parked at the foot of the hillside, Zhou Manchan, the leader of the Second Tank Regiment, shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, if you see any Japanese tanks, I'll beat these bitches hard." Raised.”
More than thirty tanks opened fire almost at the same time, and the 75mm J-piercing bullets roared towards the Type 97 tanks down the hillside.
The far more advanced artillery sights copied by Xie Tian from later generations have played a huge role, and the hit rate of artillery shells has increased by at least 30%. However, they are now fighting an encounter. Although Zhou Mantun's Second Tank Regiment is more than ten years ahead of schedule, Within minutes, we knew we were about to encounter the enemy. There was no problem with the large-scale tactical deployment, but it was impossible to specify the shooting target of each tank. This also resulted in the fact that some of the enemy tanks in the target were not attacked, and some were attacked by four enemies at the same time. Five tanks take aim.
If the little devil who was not attacked can escape with his life, he can eat fast, chant Buddha's name, thank God and thank his ancestors after returning home.
And those Japanese tanks that were targeted by four or five tanks at the same time, well, they didn’t say anything anymore, it was useless to say anything.
What else do you want to say after being hit by four or five 75mm armor-piercing high-explosive shells at the same time? It’s too late to say Sayunara.
In just one moment, eleven tanks of the 13th Tank Regiment down the hillside were hit, caught fire, and exploded. At this moment, the Japanese on the tanks had not even turned their muzzles, and some did not even know where the attack came from. .
Henglu Yousan rolled down the big rock and crawled towards his tank regiment, waving his arms and giving orders as he ran.
This guy's IQ is really worrying. If you don't use the radio that the attendant carries on his back, how many people can hear your orders even if you shout your throat?
What's more, the kid who was suddenly beaten is still in a daze, so who can hear what you are shouting.
Suddenly attacked, the Japanese soldiers basically relied on their own instincts to fight, and started to rotate the tank turrets one after another. At this time, the second round of shelling from the X-1 main battle tank had arrived.
As a violent explosion sounded, the second round of shelling destroyed more than a dozen tanks of the 13th Tank Regiment.
At this time, the X-1 main battle tank on the hillside also began to move, and the 12.7mm Death Cannon rapid-fire machine gun on the tank also began to fire. The bullets were like hail falling towards the Type 94 tank at the front of the 13th Tank Wing.
As a mini tank, the Type 94 tank's main role on the battlefield is reconnaissance, intermittent transmission of intelligence, transportation of ammunition, or use as a tractor. However, on the Chinese battlefield, the Type 94 tank is arrogant and powerful, facing no counterattack. The Chinese army has tank weapons. This kind of broken tank can also play a role in charging into the battle. When the troops march, relying on their slight advantage in speed, they usually march at the forefront of the team.
Now, these once arrogant Type 94 tanks have become the first choice targets of the X-1 main battle tank machine gunners, and one bullet can basically destroy one.
Zhou Mantun commanded the 2nd Tank Regiment to fight condescendingly against the 13th Tank Regiment. He also used the shameless front armor and opposite side armor mode. As long as it hit, it would be destroyed.
Hengluyou rolled down the hillside three times in a row, and the tank unit in front of him had been destroyed by this wave of attacks from the Second Zhou Mantun Tank Regiment. Thirty or forty tanks were destroyed, including the one he was serving as the command vehicle.
There was a sea of fire in front of him, and explosions and machine gun fire continued one after another.
Even if the tanks of the 13th Tank Regiment marching behind on the mountain road had reacted, they could not find a shooting angle to deal with the attack of the 2nd Tank Regiment. In the chaos, several of their own tanks even bumped into each other, and they quickly reversed to get rid of the entanglement. As a result, the chaos became more and more chaotic, and bumper cars started to drive.
Zhou Mantun would not give the Japanese a chance to breathe. This guy had served as Xie Tian's guard company commander and had already mastered the essence of Xie Tian's art of war.
You have to be shameless in fighting. Those who get into battle with the enemy are all heartless idiots. We just take advantage of his illness to kill him.
