1041 The Eight-Road Armor is Famous in the World (Part 1)(1/2)

…According to the battle report after the squadron leader of the Japanese flying squadron that performed this reinforcement mission returned:

"We discovered what appeared to be a small armored unit of the Eighth Route Army that defeated Major Xiyuan, and successfully blew up more than a dozen enemy tanks and armored vehicles. That unit has been completely destroyed!"

It is said that after learning the news later, Major Xiyuan looked up to the sky and sighed:

The sky has eyes!

The two tank squadrons he led were almost completely destroyed in the hands of the small armored force of the Eighth Route Army.

Now I have finally been avenged by the empire's flying troops.

However, there are also smart Japanese officers who disagree with this.

During this period of time, since a large number of Eighth Route Army armored units appeared in the western Inner Mongolia area, several flying squadrons affiliated with the Wuchagou Imperial Army Airport have been performing combat missions almost every day, and have made gains every day.

The relevant staff departments of the Japanese army have also analyzed the corresponding situation.

According to the combat status reported by the flying troops every now and then, the total number of Eighth Route Army tanks that were blown up in total must have been at least 200, right?

But the question is, where did the Eighth Route Army get so many tanks?

In addition, if it has really succeeded in blowing up so many tanks of the Eighth Route Army, why have the various offensive units of the Nanzhi Armored Brigade been attacked from time to time by small groups of armored units of the Eighth Route Army during this period of time?

What about sneak attacks?

Is it possible that the Eighth Route Army has more than one armored brigade?

I’m afraid this is unlikely?

According to data records related to the Japanese army, the Chinese army once built an armored corps when the Sino-Japanese war officially broke out.

It's just that the armored corps built by the Central Army was directly disabled in the Songhu Battle, and later even the designation was changed to an infantry designation.

At this point, the Chinese army basically has no established armored units.

Therefore, a Japanese staff officer boldly put forward an idea:

"Is it possible that the so-called Eighth Route Army armored units that our flying units blew up were not true from beginning to end? Don't you think that every bombing mission we carry out goes too smoothly?

Many times, even when we were carrying out bombing missions, we did not receive any counterattack from the Eighth Route Army.

This is absolutely against common sense!"

In the end, the Japanese army determined this situation during a joint operation conducted by armored forces and the air force not long after.

According to the situation reported by the flying unit, dozens of Eighth Route Army armored vehicles were successfully blown up in the target area, so a follow-up Japanese tank squadron arrived quickly.

The Japanese originally wanted to clean up the battlefield and seize the goods, so they even brought the reporters accompanying the army with them, and planned to take some photos and publish them in the newspaper to satirize the incompetence of the Eighth Route Army in armored combat!

As a result, the little devils who arrived were dumbfounded on the spot when they saw the situation in front of them.

Eighth Route Armored Forces?

There are rotten iron frames, rotten wood, and some obviously homemade rollers, plus some iron sheets that were completely shattered by bombs and painted to imitate tank armor.

Is this the so-called armored unit of the Eighth Route Army that the flying unit blew up?

The leader of the Japanese squadron who led the team was not stupid. He had inspected the wreckage of the Eighth Route Army armored unit after being bombed, and with a sudden change of mind, he immediately understood what the problem was.

In his subsequent report to the headquarters, he said with some indignation:

"These damn Eighth Route Army are extremely cunning. They clearly used these so-called iron frame wooden chariots to paralyze our judgment and deceived our investigation.

Perhaps all the combat missions carried out by our military's flying units and all the enemy's armored units blown up during this period were all fake tanks in this disguise!"

This inference quickly explained many unreasonable places.

No wonder the Eighth Route Army, even if a large number of armored vehicles were destroyed by the flying team, could still launch local raids on the Nanzhi Chariot Brigade from time to time.

No wonder every bombing mission carried out by the flying team goes so smoothly. When the reconnaissance planes are looking for the armored units of the Eighth Route Army, they can find them easily.

It’s no wonder that during the bombing process, there was almost no fire resistance from the Eighth Route Army.

"Bastards, these damn bastards!"

At the headquarters of the garrison in Mongolia, the Japanese commander Shigetaro Amakasu was furious. He felt that he was like a clown who was being played around by these cunning Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Just a few days ago, when I called Neji Okamura, he said that he had successfully destroyed a large number of armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army in the western Inner Mongolia area.

This time it's better, I've become a complete laughing stock.

...For Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, it is not enough just to make the Japanese army a laughing stock!

The seventh day.

According to the overall deployment of weekly tactics, the armored force and mobile force of the Taihang Quick Reaction Force directly under the leadership of Li Yunlong, and an armored corps led by Kong Jie, totaling two armored forces.

The final decisive battle with the Nanzhi tank group specially built by the Japanese army in the western Inner Mongolia region has officially begun.

At this time, if you look down from above the entire Mengxi area, you can see such a scene.

Originally composed of three tank regiments, it was a huge Japanese tank cluster force mixed with engineers, mobile artillery, motorcycles and other types of arms.

After six full days of pursuit, the originally uniform mechanized combat force had been scattered into more than a dozen parts.

And the various parts are still far apart.

On the outside of these scattered Japanese tank troops were small armored units of the Eighth Route Army that were being chased by the Japanese.

At this time, the Japanese army was chasing exhaustion, not only the soldiers, but also the tanks that were not alive, but still needed to consume fuel, and would still suffer mechanical losses during the long and long march.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles that were pursuing them were obviously much slower than they were six days ago.

Even during the chase between the two sides, due to the losses caused by battles that broke out from time to time, some Japanese tanks broke down halfway.

In the past six days, a large number of combat vehicles belonging to the Nanzhi Chariot Brigade had more or less problems.

The most terrible thing is that the fuel carried is almost exhausted.

Until the old Japanese Nan Zhi's order was quickly issued, requiring the scattered troops to gather immediately to guard against being defeated one by one by the Eighth Route Army.

Logistics troops and transport convoys were also immediately dispatched to deliver fuel and supplies to various local tank units.

The decisive battle broke out at this time...

At this time.

Loop area.

General Headquarters of the 35th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

Commander Fu, who is good at stealing chickens, is immersed in the military map in front of him, and he is studying the evolution of the battle situation.

The chief of staff who was following the analysis was sighing: "Yi Gong, today is already the seventh day. According to the intelligence information we received, in these nearly seven days, the Japanese used flying troops to destroy the Eighth Route Army.

A large number of armored vehicles.

On the plateau in western Inner Mongolia, you can see the Japanese tank brigades almost everywhere, and the Japanese are killing the Eighth Route Army armored units everywhere..."

At the end of the sentence, the chief of staff even couldn't bear to continue talking.

"Yi Gong... the situation seems to be getting worse and worse. Maybe the so-called armored troops of the Eighth Route Army have been completely wiped out by the little devils.

I just can't figure it out. In this situation, why does the 120th Division dare to pat its chest and say that they can contain the Japanese's main armored force?

Do you still want us to launch an attack alongside them?"

Commander Fu did not speak immediately.

After a moment of thinking, he asked: "Ming Buddha, do you think the Eighth Route Army is smart or stupid?"

"This..."

The chief of staff was silent.

As a fellow countryman of Fu Yisheng and Fu Yisheng's most trusted subordinate, he followed Fu Yisheng and had many interactions with the Eighth Route Army. He also had a relatively in-depth study of the Eighth Route Army, including its beliefs and guerrilla tactics.

The chief of staff had to admit this.

"The Eighth Route Army is indeed not a stupid army. They rarely fight uncertain battles!"

Commander Fu laughed: "This is exactly the reason. Therefore, the information we have obtained and the situations we have seen may be superficial.

From what I know about Lao He, this old guy is really capable.

The Eighth Route Army clearly knew that their armored troops would be surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese armored forces after they appeared in the Mengxi area. Why did they still do this?

There must be something going on!"

"Yigong, do we still need to continue to support the Eighth Route Army in fighting?"

Commander Fu said happily: "Old rule, don't rush, wait until the fight between the two parties becomes heated, then there will be more and more loopholes, and we will have the opportunity to take advantage of them!"

The chief of staff smiled and said nothing, and did not let go of the eagle when he saw the rabbit. This is exactly the characteristic of Yi Gong!

……

The 26th Division of the Japanese Army is building a defensive line from the north of Datong to the border of Inner Mongolia.

In accordance with the order of the General Headquarters, the 26th Division deployed a large number of combat troops on the defense line early in the morning, waiting for the Nanzhi Chariot Brigade to drive back all the armored units of the Eighth Route Army that appeared in the western Mongolia area.

Then complete the combat mission of flanking attack from both sides.
