In the southern suburbs of Pucheng, inside the Japanese military camp.
Taro Koga was like a trapped animal, scurrying back and forth in the cage.
The 1st Infantry Battalion under the 170th Infantry Regiment was engaged in a fierce battle with the Dameishan Independent Regiment less than five miles away from the military camp. He could even see the battlefield with his naked eyes, but how the fight went was unclear.
I don’t know, but the First Infantry Battalion called back several times to say that the war was progressing very slowly.
For some reason, Taro Koga always felt that something was going to happen tonight.
First there was a suspicious Chinese tank, then the Fifth Tank Squadron attacked, then the Fifth Tank Squadron sent a telegram asking for help, and then the First Infantry Battalion that went to respond was attacked less than five miles out of the camp.
Blocking the attack, and then losing contact with the fifth tank squadron, all of this gave Taro Koga a very bad feeling.
Something was going to happen, and something was probably going to happen tonight, but he couldn't tell exactly what it would be.
Time passed slowly in a maddening wait. Just when Taro Koga couldn't help but send another telegram to the First Infantry Battalion to inquire about the situation of the battle, a signal soldier hurried in.
"Your Excellency Colonel!" the signal soldier suddenly reported, "The First Infantry Brigade has been defeated!"
"What did you say?" Koga Taro was shocked and shouted, "The first infantry brigade has been defeated? Impossible, how is this possible? This is an entire infantry brigade. In less than ten minutes, the Dameishan Independent Regiment was defeated.
Destroyed?"
"Hai." The signal soldier paused and said, "Colonel, you can go and ask, because some of the defeated troops of the First Infantry Battalion have already fled back to the military camp."
"Where are the people?" Koga Taro said angrily, "Bring them to me!"
However, as soon as Taro Koga finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.
Taro Koga's mood suddenly became worse and worse, and he immediately came out of the tent and yelled: "What's the noise about?"
"Your Excellency Colonel, the Chinese Army is coming, the Chinese Army!" A Japanese soldier pointed in front of him and said in panic.
"Nani?" Koga Taro looked in the direction of the Japanese soldier's finger, and then his whole person turned to stone in an instant, but he saw that piles of bonfires had been lit outside the military camp at some point, and in the dim light of the fire
, groups of Chinese soldiers, like wolves out foraging in the wilderness, are wandering around.
The reason why Taro Koga recognized them at a glance that they were Chinese soldiers, not Japanese soldiers, was because they were wearing cotton military uniforms. It was winter now, and the Japanese soldiers were wearing cotton coats, while the Chinese soldiers were wearing cotton tops.
Wear cotton trousers instead of a coat, so you can easily tell them apart.
"Your Majesty Colonel, look, tanks!" Another Japanese soldier screamed.
In fact, no one needs to remind him. Taro Koga has already seen it. Behind the groups of Chinese soldiers who looked like wolf packs, dark tanks appeared one after another. Taro Koga could not see these tanks.
They had different styles and numbers, but he could figure it out with his toes. These tanks must be the tanks of the 5th Tank Squadron.
However, now, these tanks of the Fifth Tank Squadron have become Chinese tanks!
"It's over!" Koga Taro's heart immediately sank. The fortifications built by the 170th Infantry Regiment were barely able to block the infantry attack, but they were not enough to block the chariot soldiers.
Attack, especially now that the Chinese have a whole squadron of tanks!

Less than a kilometer away from the Japanese barracks, He Shuya and Huang Shouxin stood on the front body of the No. 501 tank driven by Mei Jiuling. They held up binoculars to observe the movements of the Japanese barracks ahead, while following the turret with relaxed expressions.
Mei Jiuling leaned out half of her body to communicate.
"I really didn't expect that." Huang Shouxin said with emotion, "When the regiment leader explained to us the tactical subjects of infantry-artillery coordination, infantry-tank coordination and air-ground coordination in the youth training team class, I was still thinking,
I don’t know when I will be able to apply what I have learned, but I never thought that I would be able to practice infantry-tank coordination on the battlefield so soon.”
"What does this mean?" Mei Jiuling said confidently, "Infantry-tank coordination is just the most basic tactical subject. Next, our Dameishan Military Division will have to form a regiment-level or even division-level tank cluster. By then,
It would be enjoyable to practice the theory of large-scale deep operations with large corps and the theory of blitz warfare with large tank groups on the battlefield. The small fights now are nothing."
"Yo yo yo, I said you're fat, but you're still out of breath." Huang Shouxin joked, "We just had a tank company, and now we're thinking about a tank regiment or even a tank division? Look at how beautiful you are."
"Isn't that a matter of time?" Mei Jiuling said, "Look, I, Mei Jiuling, will be the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Tank Group Army sooner or later."
"You'd better be your tank company commander first." He Shuya put down the telescope, then pointed at the Japanese camp in front and said to Mei Jiuling, "Jiuling, take down the Japanese military camp in front first and then talk about other things."
"No problem." Mei Jiuling waved his fist and said confidently, "This Japanese army camp is just an ordinary military camp. The infantry can barely stop us. If you want to stop my tank company, it is pure wishful thinking. Shuya also has
Keep your word, just keep it to yourself, I will get it for you in half an hour at most."
He Shuya nodded and said to Huang Shouxin: "Shouxin, I will personally command the Ninth Battalion later and coordinate the attack of Jiuling's tank company. You can stay here and take charge of the battle in my stead."
"Why? It's your duty as the regiment leader to sit in the rear, and it's my sole mission as the deputy commander to charge into the battle. Don't glare at me. If you're not convinced, just go to the regiment leader and argue." Huang Shouxin said.
After that, he turned to Mei Jiuling and said, "Jiuling, let's go!"
"Okay." Mei Jiuling immediately retracted into the carriage, then started the tank and drove forward slowly.
He Shuya knew that Huang Shouxin had good intentions, so he did not argue with him. He immediately jumped off the tank body and watched the No. 501 tank slowly go away. Behind the No. 501 tank, there were sixteen other tanks.
Line up to form a huge arrow.
At this time, the other four Type 95 tanks in the city have also come out, and the tank driven by He Dacong has also rushed back. The number of tanks in the tank company has reached seventeen. This is already a tank company in the true sense.
.
In a short while, Lei Peng's ninth battalion completed its assembly, and then, under the guidance of the tank company, it was divided into three attack groups. Each attack group was composed of a tank platoon and an infantry company, starting from the east of the Jaap Barracks,
Attacks were launched simultaneously from three directions: west and south.
(Dividing line)
As soon as he saw the offensive posture adopted by the Chinese, Taro Koga knew that he was in big trouble.
The Chinese attacked from three directions: east, west, and south at the same time, but only left the north side behind. This was obviously the encirclement of the Three Barriers in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Although Sun Tzu's Art of War was born more than two thousand years ago, it is still effective on the battlefield.
Applicable, the Chinese people’s war wisdom, if you don’t accept it, you really can’t do it!
The Chinese's tactic of surrounding three ques and one quickly achieved the desired effect.
Almost as soon as the Chinese started to take up their stance, the Japanese in the military camp started to commotion.
"Baga, there are many enemies in the south. There are tanks, and there are five tanks. Damn it! Why do the Chinese have tanks? Now we are in big trouble!"
"To the east, there are enemies to the east, and there are tanks to the east! They're going to die!"
"To the west, there are tanks to the west. Now we are finished, totally finished!"
"No, there is also the north. Are there any enemies found in the north? Are there any enemies in the north?"
"No, there is no one in the north. There is no one in the north. The north is still safe."
"Don't be stupid, that's a trick of the Chinese. There is no one looking to the north, but in fact there must be a Chinese ambush ahead. If we abandon the camp and leave, we will definitely fall into their plot."
More than two thousand Japs from the 170th Infantry Regiment gathered together and quarreled non-stop. The situation was like a big wolf dog rushing into a chicken coop.
"That's enough, stop arguing!" Taro Koga suddenly pulled out his saber, suppressed the fierce quarrels of the dozen Japanese officers around him, and then said to the two captains of the Second Infantry Brigade and the Third Infantry Brigade.
, "You two, each lead an infantry squadron to guard the east and west sides. If anyone dares to escape, we will shoot and kill!"
"Hai!" The two infantry captains nodded heavily and turned around.
Taro Koga yelled at the independent artillery squadron leader again: "Yours, push the infantry artillery over to me!"
The independent artillery squadron also has two Type 92 infantry cannons. This type of infantry cannon is very effective against infantry, but it is somewhat unsatisfactory when used against tanks, because the Type 92 infantry cannon cannot fire kinetic energy shells, but can only
Launch grenades, but grenades do not have armor-piercing capabilities.
But now that things have come to a point, Koga Taro can't care about that and can only act like a dead horse.
Even if the Type 92 infantry gun cannot destroy the armor of enemy tanks, it can at least cause damage to the enemy infantry following up to protect the tanks. As long as the enemy infantry following up to protect the tanks is defeated, it will be much easier to destroy the enemy tanks.
Once the infantry gets close, just a bundle of explosives can easily blow up the enemy tanks.
As soon as the 170th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army was ready, enemy tanks were already leading the infantry and broke into less than a hundred meters away from the Japanese military camp.
"Throw silk and change..." Taro Koga gave the order, and the Japanese artillery fired first.
The quality of the Japanese infantry is still good, but because it is night and cannot aim, the shooting is not as accurate as during the day. Only two roars are heard, and two huge flames immediately burst out in the open space next to the tank guided in front, and the tank
They were unscathed, but two of the Chinese infantrymen who followed behind were knocked over by the air wave generated by the explosion.
The next moment, the Chinese tanks and artillery began to counterattack.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The four Chinese tanks fired at the same time. Along with four dazzling flames, the four energy shells flew over the little devil's artillery position in an instant. One of the shells accurately hit a nine-ton gun.
The huge energy stored in the kinetic energy bomb of the Type 2 infantry cannon was released instantly, blowing the Type 92 infantry cannon into a pile of scrap metal. The dozen Japanese artillerymen guarding the Type 92 infantry also
The turbulent flow of roaring and flying metal was shot into a sieve.
