Huahu Town is located at the junction of Ezhou and Huangshi. Today, it has become the first position for the Japanese army in Ezhou to resist the independent division. This part of the Japanese army had retreated from Nanchang before, and they had not been on the battlefield when they were in Nanchang.
, that is to say, there are mostly new recruits, so some people will be nervous. Even the officers at the rank of major are already new recruits, which shows that Japan has been squeezed very hard and has recruited quite a lot of soldiers.
In fact, this situation is what Zhou Weiguo and others want to see. The more the Japanese recruit more soldiers and consume more resources, the worse Japan will be. The Japanese have relatively complete industrialization and a high level of industrialization. At this time,
China is still a large agricultural country. In this regard, Japan has the advantage. In fact, Japan's advantage in industrialization only makes up for some of the population gaps with China. They want to occupy the entire China,
Learn from the Mongolian Yuan and Manchu Qing Dynasties, rule China in their own hands, and then slowly turn China into their own, and then dominate Asia.
Fang Shengli held a telescope and looked at the battle ahead. To be honest, his tanks posed a huge threat to the Japanese, but he had to beware of the Japanese's anti-tank weapons. However, overall, the attack went very smoothly, with more than 90 tanks.
The tanks had a great impact on the Japanese, just like more than 90 moving turrets. With the soldiers following the tanks, the Japanese were beaten so hard that they could not lift their heads for a while. In terms of firepower, the Japanese could not compare to the independent divisions.

Zhou Weiguo also received the telegram to capture Huangshi. He smiled and waited for Liu San to return after figuring out the terrain. However, thinking of where Fang Shengli should be in Huahu Town at this time, and looking at the location of Liangzihu District, Zhou Weiguo hoped that
The enemy can partially outflank the enemy's rear. In this way, he can also outflank this part of the enemy, or even eat them.
Wuhan
"Order, the 201st and 202nd Divisions set out from the Liangzi Lake area to outflank the rear of the Independent Division." Okamura Neiji frowned. He had just received a telegram from Ezhou. The Independent Division had already begun to attack Huahu Town. You know, Huahu
The town and Liangzi Lake are only sixty or seventy miles apart. To outflank, one day is enough. Two divisions, plus Ezhou's troops, are enough to eliminate the independent division's more than 20,000 troops. The report said that the independent division has
If there are a large number of tanks, let the air force take off from Wuhan. At such a close distance, they can fight first. When the planes of the independent division arrive from Nanchang, they will finish the fight. Thinking of this, Okamura Neji's brows relaxed a little.
, with a smile on his face, he wanted to capture the 20,000 soldiers of the Independent Division to give this battle a good start.
"Hi!" After the soldier obeyed the order, he turned around and left.
Huangshi does not have much defense, which was actually arranged by Okamura Neiji. In this way, the enemy will quickly advance to Ezhou and have the opportunity to quickly surround the enemy.

In Huahu Town, Li Wu was leading soldiers behind the Second Tank Regiment and launched an attack on the Japanese positions. As soon as he started attacking, Li Wu felt the pressure. The positions here were built very solidly by the Japanese and were all made of cement.
Yes, the soldiers were unlikely to cause harm to the Japs. On the contrary, the Japs actually had anti-tank guns, which surprised the tank regiment. However, after thinking about it, it became clear. After all, Japan's industrial level is higher than that of their independent divisions.
It is much higher. It is not surprising that there is an anti-tank gun. However, when the Japanese anti-tank gun hit a T-34 tank with one shot, something strange happened. The T-34 tank was not greatly affected. It remained
Push forward.
The T-34 tank's 45 mm thick 32-degree beveled frontal armor has a protection capability equivalent to 130 mm, while the 49-degree beveled side armor is also equivalent to 100 mm. Such frontal armor directly led to any changes in German tank equipment in 1941.
Artillery cannot penetrate at a distance of 500 meters, and only the German 88 gun can block it.
"Nani? The anti-tank gun has no effect! Turn off the jam and keep shooting!"
"Hi!"
At one time, several 37mm anti-tank gun shells hit a T-34, but when the fireworks dissipated, there was still no major problem with the tank, except for some armor damage.
"Yalu! How could a Chinese tank have such good armor protection!" A Japanese major was so stunned that the tank that had been set on fire by the Japanese fired a shell in this direction.
"boom!"
The T-34 is equipped with a 76 mm F-34 L/42 cannon. When using ordinary armor-piercing projectiles, the F-34 cannon can penetrate 69 mm homogeneous steel plates at a distance of 500 meters and 61 mm steel plates at a distance of 1,000 meters.
, no model of German tanks at that time could withstand such fierce firepower. The F-34 cannon can also fire high-explosive and fragmentation shells to attack soft targets, so it has the ability to support infantry attacks.
"Nani!" The Japanese major didn't react, and his face was covered in blood from the explosion, and his head was even dizzy.
"Captain!" The Japanese army next to them quickly moved the major to the side. The shell just landed in front of them, but their captain reacted a little slower and did not cover his head. As a result, his face is now
It was all in pieces and it was too horrible to look at.
"Sanhua-kun, what should we do now?"
"Send the captain to the rear! Then tell the captain about the captain."
"Hi!"
Li Wu was also startled by the Japanese anti-tank gun at the beginning, but in the end, his own tank seemed to be fine. You know, at least five or six shells just hit the tank in front of him.
"Brother Ge, that's awesome!" After Li Wu fired a shell from the tank in front, he also aimed at a Japanese machine gunner and pressed the trigger. "Bang!" The Japanese machine gunner fell down.
Although most of the Japanese positions are made of cement and are very strong, the Japanese also need vision if they want to attack. Li Wu was fortunate that the Japanese did not build this place into a fortress. Otherwise, the price they would have to pay to capture this position would be too much.
It's too big. Even so, it's quite difficult for them now. Compared with the Yellowstone side, this side is simply too hard.
"Nenei," Li Wu cursed, "Wang Er pockmark! Come here!"
"Third Master, I'm here!"
"Do you have any thoughts about this, the Japanese position?"
"What do you think?"
"Idiot!" Li Wu patted Wang Erpazi on the head, "How do you defeat the enemy's position!"
"Oh." Wang Erpazi nodded quickly, rolled his eyes, and then said, "Third Leader, don't we have a tank? Follow the tank and rush up! When you get close, throw the grenade!"
Li Wu slapped his forehead, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Wang Ermazi, ask the brothers to prepare grenades. When they are about 30 meters away from the Japanese position, everyone will throw the grenades out to me!"
