The Chinese army attacked all night and finally rested at dawn, and the battlefield gradually fell silent.
Yamamoto pushed open the top cover of the turret, quickly stuck his head out, took a greedy breath of fresh air outside, and then quickly retracted his head into the turret. Almost as soon as Satoshi Yamamoto's head retracted, a bullet
It hit the steel plate in front of the turret, making a clanging sound and causing a burst of fire.
With just a hair's breadth, Satoshi Yamamoto was shot in the head by a sniper ambushing across from him.
"Bagagaru!" Yamamoto cursed, put his head behind the observation hole, and quickly searched for shallow hills in the distance through the narrow field of view of the observation hole, and soon based on experience, he locked on a small hilltop 600 meters away.
"I found you, cunning China Rabbit!" Yamamoto Satoshi chuckled and pressed the main gun firing button.
The next moment, the Type 97 light tank driven by Yamamoto Satoshi trembled violently, and the 37mm-caliber main gun installed in the front of the turret immediately sprayed out a ball of flames, accompanied by a "boom" sound.
, as soon as the energy bomb was launched, it screamed and shot towards the hilltop five hundred meters ahead.
Half a second later, a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose from the top of the hill.
"Nishiuchi, China Rabbit..." Upon seeing this, Yamamoto Satoshi immediately smiled with great pride. After a moment, the smile solidified on his face, because through the narrow field of vision, he clearly saw a figure quickly emerging from the smoke.
He rushed out and disappeared behind the mountain with two jumps, but he missed!
"Baga!" Yamamoto Satoshi roared angrily.
"Captain!" Machine gunner Ono asked immediately, "Do you want to chase after that cunning China rabbit?"
"Baga!" Satoshi Yamamoto slapped Ono across the face and scolded angrily, "Without the protection of infantry, as soon as our tanks leave the road, they will immediately become the prey of the China rabbits you call them! These damn things
The China Rabbit not only has rifles, but also rocket launchers! Do you understand the rocket launchers?"
In yesterday's battle, they destroyed at least a dozen tanks by the Chinese army. Most of the tanks were destroyed by the Chinese army with rocket launchers. Only a few tanks were destroyed by cluster grenades. In the shallow hilly jungle terrain, rocket launchers
The threat to tanks is fatal!
Fortunately, there is an open area of nearly 500 meters on both sides of the road. The Chinese army's rocket launcher team cannot cross this open area and approach both sides of the road. Otherwise, even if the tanks of their garrison convoy are huddled on the road, it will be difficult to ensure that
Safety, I don’t know how many times I have been killed by the Chinese army.
Ono covered his face and said: "Car commander, can't we ask the infantry to coordinate the attack?"
"The infantry has been frightened by the Chinese army, so they don't dare to attack." Speaking of infantry, Yamamoto was full of disdain. As a chariot soldier, Yamamoto's favorite and best thing is to attack, attack, and continue to attack.
, until the enemy is defeated, instead of huddled on the road to protect themselves like now.
It's a pity that we don't want to attack this time.
Sighing, Yamamoto Satoshi took out a pack of Chrysanthemums from his pocket. He first handed a cigarette to Machine Gunner Ono, then took one in his mouth. When he was about to take out a match and light it, he suddenly heard something in his ears.
There was a faint roar of engines. Since the Chinese army had stopped attacking at this time, the entire battlefield had fallen silent. Therefore, although the roar of engines was light, Satoshi Yamamoto, who had excellent hearing, still heard it very clearly.
However, Satoshi Yamamoto wasn't quite sure what engine it was.
At that moment, Yamamoto Satoshi turned and asked machine gunner Ono: "Ono-kun, did you hear that?"
"Nani?" Machine gunner Ono asked with a confused face, "What did you hear?"
"There is an engine roaring." Satoshi Yamamoto frowned and said, "It sounds like a tank, but it doesn't quite look like it, because neither the Type 95 nor the Type 97 has such a deep sound."
While Yamamoto listened carefully, he slowly rotated the turret and pointed the narrow field of view of the observation hole in the direction of the roar. Almost at the same time, machine gunner Ono also looked through the special machine gun observation hole in front of him.
, searching the road ahead of him inch by inch.
After about a few seconds, while Yamamoto Satoshi was still searching around, machine gunner Ono suddenly screamed loudly.
"Commander, it's a tank, a lot of tanks!" Ono shouted, "Commander, look, there are a lot of tanks in front of us!"
"Where, where? Where is the tank?" Satoshi Yamamoto's heart suddenly sank, and he asked urgently, "Where is it?"
"Ten o'clock, on the highway in the direction of ten o'clock!" Ono shouted, "Amaterasu, these tanks are so huge!"
After hearing this, Yamamoto Satoshi rotated the turret's field of view as quickly as possible. Then, he also saw that on the road ahead at the ten o'clock direction, there was indeed a group of tanks driving in along the road, but only
You see, the rising sun shines on these tanks, emitting a dark luster, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.
"Bagagaru!" Satoshi Yamamoto couldn't help but gasped, and his heart sank.
The tanks driving over from the road ahead are not only larger in size, but also have a larger caliber main gun on the turret. Even the exhaust gas emitted from the tank's exhaust port is different. The exhaust gas emitted by the Japanese tanks has no color, while the exhaust gas emitted by the tanks in front is colorless.
The exhaust gas emitted by these tanks is black, obviously burning diesel!
However, what made Satoshi Yamamoto feel even more desperate was that the enemy tanks seemed to be endless. There were more than ten tanks that had appeared, but there were still tanks one after another, starting from the ten o'clock direction.
The mountain corners kept popping up, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty tanks appeared on the road!
Oh my god, thirty tanks, two squadrons of tanks! Obviously, the main force of the Chinese army has arrived!
Soon, the Chinese tanks spread out along the road and the open areas on both sides of the road, forming a standard straight-line attack formation. Then, more than thirty Chinese tanks rolled over, spraying billowing black smoke.
The tank main guns, which were originally pointed at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, were slowly lowered.
The next moment, the hysterical roar of the captain of the garrisoned combat team came from Satoshi Yamamoto's headset.
After hearing the captain's order, Yamamoto Satoshi shifted into first gear without hesitation, and then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The Type 97 light tank originally parked on the road immediately roared forward and rushed forward.
While rushing out, Yamamoto Satoshi also turned the turret back to the front, pointing the 37mm main gun straight forward.
However, in front of the enemy's 89mm main gun, the Japanese 37mm main gun seemed so powerless.
Almost at the same time, all the tanks of the North China Front's garrison battle convoy were launched one after another, and then spread out along the highway and the open areas on both sides of the highway. After setting up a one-line attack formation, they faced each other tit for tat. Under the rising sun,
The two tank units were at full capacity and launched a menacing charge.
…
Almost at the same time, Nagumo Kinichiro was also awakened.
Since receiving the order from the front army headquarters to set off, Nagumo Kinichiro has not slept for two days and one night. At dawn, the Chinese army's offensive finally calmed down, and the old Japanese finally found the opportunity to hide in the car and fight.
Doze, after all, is a man in his fifties, so he is no better than a young man.
What's more, the next battle will only be more brutal, so you must build up enough physical strength and energy.
However, just as the old Japanese fell asleep, he was awakened by a loud noise.
Quickly turning over and sitting up, when he got out of the armored vehicle, Nagumo Kinichiro saw six or seven staff officers and orderlies from the headquarters gathering together, pointing in the direction of Bauhinia Ridge ahead, and all of them looked panicked.
When the old Japanese saw this, his heart suddenly trembled. Could it be that the Chahar Independent Regiment had attacked again? And it had broken through the outer defense line?
When he turned his head to look around, Nagumo Kinichiro saw a terrifying scene that left him speechless!
I saw more than thirty Chinese tanks lined up along the road and the open areas on both sides of the road, spitting out billowing black smoke, and swooping over here. Behind these thirty Chinese tanks
Behind them, smoke and dust gradually rose up, and among the billowing smoke and dust, there were still dark Chinese infantry following.
Seeing this scene, Nagumo Kinichiro immediately froze there.
What's going on? With such a huge armored group, could it be that the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment has arrived?
"Nagumo-kun, what happened? Why is it so noisy?" Minamoto Yoshitaka was also woken up, yelling and rushing over. Then he saw Nagumo Kinichiro standing there dumbfounded, and then subconsciously turned his head.
, followed Nagumo Kinichiro's gaze and looked forward, and Minamoto Yoshige immediately froze there.
"Baga~~Yaru!" After a long while, Minamoto Yoshige finally said through his teeth, "The armored group of the China Army! The armored group of the China Army has arrived! It's over now!"
At this time, Nagumo Chiichiro finally came to his senses.
The next moment, Nagumo Kinichiro roared at the top of his lungs: "Order, all the garrisoned combat convoys attack, no matter what, we must hold back the China Army armored cluster for at least a quarter of an hour, and we must not let them rush in too quickly. The infantry
The brigade immediately collected the explosive packets, organized the death squads, and prepared to get close to blast, quick, quick, quick..."
In fact, without the order of Nagumo Chiichiro, the garrisoned combat convoys had already launched an attack across the board, and the various infantry brigades under the Nagumo Brigade and Minamotogi Brigade had also collected explosive packets at the first opportunity and prepared to explode, because at this time
, everyone can already see that it is impossible to block the Chinese armored forces by relying solely on the garrisoned combat convoy.
