Just as ten minutes were about to pass, the hurried figure of the chief of staff finally appeared in front of the commander.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army that attacked us was defeated by the tank squadron and the security force. The troops can evacuate Yinmagou immediately."
It was only then that the commander of the regiment completely relaxed his worries and immediately ordered: "Why are you still standing there? The troops will set off immediately and evacuate Yinmagou as quickly as possible."
"Immediately send someone to notify the rear troops..."
"They can retreat if they hold on for another twenty minutes..."
Listening to the increasingly fierce exchange of fire between the front and rear of the team, all the little devils in the ditch felt a strong sense of crisis.
As soon as the commander gave the order, these Japanese soldiers started running in a hurry, all wanting to evacuate Yinmagou as soon as possible.
But God played a big joke on them.
The troops had just moved forward less than two hundred meters when a thunderous explosion sounded from the front of the team.
The dazzling fireball soared from the ground, more than ten meters high, lighting up the sky.
The billowing smoke was wrapped in flames and rose from the ground. At a glance, there were seven or eight strands.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
The sound of firefights sounded at the front of the team at the same time, and the fast-moving team also stopped at this moment.
The captain was like a madman who had been stimulated, and immediately shouted: "Bagh Ya Road..."
"What happened before?"
"Didn't it mean that the Eighth Route Army's offensive force had been defeated by the tank squadron?"
"Then where did the explosion sound come from?"
"What's the noise about the exchange of fire?"
The chief of staff walked beside the commander. He was also full of questions. He looked at the commander with a puzzled look and replied: "I don't know even if I am in a low position..."
After saying that, he ordered to the combat staff beside him: "What are you doing here so stupidly? Go to the front immediately to find out what's going on."
"Why did the troops stop advancing? Didn't they know that the Eighth Route Army's pursuers were about to kill them?"
"Ha Yi..." the combat staff officer immediately rushed to the front of the team.
After walking for less than two minutes, he ran back, followed by a captain. When he saw the captain, he shouted with despair: "Sir..."
"We were fooled..."
"The Eighth Route Army buried explosives on the roadside and suddenly detonated the explosives when the tank squadron passed..."
"All six tanks covering the forward troops were destroyed and blocked on the road."
"The forward troops also lost a reinforced team due to the explosion and the firepower raid of the Eighth Route Army..."
"and……"
Seeing the hesitant look on the captain's face and hesitating to speak even at this time, the commander suddenly became anxious and immediately asked: "And what, please be more clear?"
"The Eighth Route Army that raided us also built a temporary blocking position at the exit of Yinmagou. At least one battalion of the Eighth Route Army was guarding it."
"The forward squadron has suffered heavy losses and is no longer able to launch an attack. Please sir, please send reinforcements immediately to break through the Eighth Route Army's blocking position."
"Nani?" The wing leader was stunned by the news. He was stunned for a while before accepting the cruel fact. Then he ordered the chief of staff aside: "Let the second squadron come up."
"The mortar squadron and the First Artillery Battalion provide artillery support. Hurry up. We must break through the Eighth Route Army's blocking position within ten minutes."
"Send someone to contact the rear troops."
"The retreat order just now has been cancelled. They will have to hold on for thirty minutes before they can alternately cover and withdraw from the battle."
…………
"Boom boom boom..."
More than 20 grams of mortar shells rained down on the Japanese troops at the rear, causing fire to fly. Many little Japanese were blown away in the explosion and lost their lives instantly.
But the six tanks and armored vehicles scattered among the Japanese remained motionless.
Apparently these mortars can't hurt them.
But Kong Jie was not worried at all. The field artillery battalion was setting up artillery positions, and two rapid-fire artillery batteries were approaching the Japanese blocking position step by step. He planned to get closer before firing.
When they were ready for battle, these six tanks were not enough. At most, two rounds of artillery fire could destroy them all.
"Commander...the field artillery battalion is ready..." the correspondent hurried to Kong Jie to report.
"No need to wait for orders, just fire directly..."
"Chariot battalion, second regiment and one battalion, prepare for attack at the same time."
"As soon as the six tanks and tanks in front of us are destroyed, launch an attack. Try to kill all the little Japanese rear troops in one attack. Then launch a direct attack on the 106th Regiment and block them in Yinmagou."
"Rumble..."
The explosion of field artillery shells soon sounded among the Japanese rear troops.
More than a dozen mortars were divided into three, and an average of six field guns were aimed at a tank and fired. The lack of shooting accuracy was made up for by the number of shells.
The effect was so good that an armored vehicle was blown up on the spot and instantly turned into a ball of fire.
"Boom boom boom..."
Under the cover of artillery fire, two rapid-fire artillery batteries successfully pushed twelve rapid-fire cannons to a position more than 100 meters in front of the formation. The six rapid-fire cannons aimed at a target and fired a salvo, instantly beating the two tanks into black smoke.
Lose combat effectiveness.
This is the only tank that can threaten the safety of a rapid-fire artillery battery.
Although the remaining armored vehicles are also very powerful, they are not equipped with anti-tank guns. The vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns alone can hardly threaten the gunners hiding behind the protective steel plates of the rapid-fire guns.
After a successful hit, the twelve rapid-fire cannons immediately adjusted their muzzles and aimed at the two armored vehicles closest to them.
As soon as the battle started, three of the six tanks cooperating with the rear were lost. This result frightened the little Japanese on the remaining three tanks. They quickly moved the tanks to make it more difficult for the Eighth Route Army to aim and reduce their own losses.
Probability of hit.
Facing these live targets, the gunners, who had just come into contact with anti-tank guns, were obviously panicked.
However, relying on the numerical advantage, the second round of shooting still destroyed an armored vehicle, which was considered a blessing among misfortunes.
"Rumble..."
The field artillery battalion fired the second round of shells at the same time.
Compared with rapid-fire artillery shells, field artillery shells are more powerful.
Even if it does not directly hit the armored vehicle, if it hits the armored vehicle and explodes next to it, the armored vehicle will be severely damaged.
As far as the field artillery battalion is concerned, as long as these armored vehicles are still in their artillery coverage area, it doesn't matter whether they move or not.
The violent explosion destroyed an armored vehicle on the spot.
After three rounds of artillery fire, all six Japanese chariots blocking the pursuit of the troops were destroyed, and the order to attack was shouted out from Kong Jie's mouth at the same time.
"Rumble..."
Six tanks of the armored battalion roared and rushed towards the Japanese blocking position. Hundreds of soldiers followed the tanks, rifles in their hands, staring at the front vigilantly, ready to take action at any time to kill any fish that slipped through the net that the tanks did not eliminate.
By the way, protect the safety of the tank.
Huang Yu's 106th Interceptor Regiment had no bunkers, and the little Japanese who stayed behind also had no bunkers.
After being hit by more than a hundred shells, the number of more than two hundred Japanese soldiers dropped sharply to less than a hundred.
Facing the steel torrent composed of six tanks, they had no choice but to shoot meaninglessly with their machine guns and watch the tanks rush towards them.
