"Captain, the enemy is on our right wing, equipped with mountain artillery and mortars!" the gunner on the command vehicle shouted loudly.
"Counterattack, order the remaining tanks to counterattack immediately, kill them with vehicle-mounted artillery, fire quickly!" the squadron leader ordered anxiously.
The Japs operating these tanks are all veterans and their reaction speed is very fast.
Immediately increase the horsepower and rush towards the artillery position with roaring sound. Vehicle-mounted artillery and vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns quickly adjust the shooting angle and prepare to shoot.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The muzzles of the five vehicle-mounted artillery sprayed out a ball of flame, and then violent explosions rang out in the artillery position.
A dozen gunners in two positions were directly blown over.
"Quickly reload, keep shooting, kill the remaining Japanese tanks!" the commander of the mountain artillery company shouted with a pair of red eyes.
In the Japanese tank command vehicle, the squadron leader also stared with a pair of red eyes and urged his subordinates to speed up reloading.
In tank combat, time is all that matters.
If you can fire the cannon before the opponent fires and destroy the opponent, then victory belongs to you.
If you fire the gun later than your opponent, even just a second later, the opponent may blast you into pieces with one shot.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The mountain artillery battery and the flying thunder artillery battery finally fired the second round of shells one step ahead of the Japanese.
After all, they had the advantage of striking first and had a longer time to prepare.
A total of eight shrieking shells, fired directly, destroyed two Japanese tanks again, and the turret of one tank was directly blown off.
The hit rate of nine flying thunder cannons is much higher.
Because the five Japanese tanks rushed more than fifty meters toward the artillery position, most of the nine explosive packets that fell from the sky exploded around the tanks.
In the violent explosion, the remaining three tanks stopped moving and lay in front of the nest.
"Continue to fire and destroy the remaining three tanks!" the commander of the mountain artillery company continued to order for the sake of safety.
There were a total of nineteen artillery pieces, and three volleys destroyed the entire Japanese tank squadron. This was something Chen Zhengxiang did not expect, and it also made Chen Zhengxiang realize that the Japanese tanks were not as scary as he thought.
"Wang Ping is right, these thin-skinned tanks equipped by the Japanese are just iron coffins. The Japanese also bully our Chinese army because we don't have anti-tank guns and artillery, so they dare to show off their power on our Chinese battlefield. As long as we have guns, we can do whatever they want.
How much can be destroyed!"
With a smile on his face after victory, Chen Zhengxiang could not help but feel a burst of emotion.
One team had two heavy machine gun companies left, one mortar company, and one guard company. The attack on the Japanese infantry squadron was almost over.
Twelve mortar shells fell from the sky, directly blowing up two cars full of Japanese soldiers. The cars, along with more than twenty Japanese soldiers, were engulfed by the fireball.
There were more than a dozen cars left, and almost every two light and heavy machine guns were staring at the Japanese car compartments and shooting.
The whizzing bullets were so impenetrable that they killed more than half of the Japanese behind the carriage in an instant.
When the remaining Japs subconsciously jumped out of the carriage and relied on the carriage to fight back, the bullets fired from the heavy machine guns made them unable to lift their heads.
No matter where you are on the road, as long as a Japanese soldier's body is exposed in front of the soldiers, dozens of bullets will be drawn in an instant.
At this time, the second round of shells from the mortar battery flew over.
A car compartment can block bullets fired from the side, but cannot block artillery shells falling from the sky.
After the explosion sounded on the highway, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were blown directly into the sky.
In the end, a squadron of Japanese soldiers only lasted less than five minutes before the entire army was destroyed.
After the battle, more than 50% of the Japanese corpses had at least three bullet holes, and even worse, there were more than a dozen bullet holes in the corpses.
The native colonel led the follow-up troops and marched hurriedly. When he hurriedly arrived outside Shouyang City, the battle was over and the first detachment that attacked Shouyang City had also disappeared. In addition to the unburned bonfires, the battlefield of Nuoda was filled with strong The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood was all that was left, leaving corpses, cars, and tank wreckage all over the place!
"Baga, how is it possible? How did the Eighth Route Army do it? It was able to wipe out one of our tank squadrons, one cavalry squadron, and one infantry squadron in such a short time!" The native colonel looked at the tragic scene in front of him with disbelief, and then shouted loudly shouted.
The adjutant who was surveying the battlefield quickly ran over with a gloomy look on his face.
"Sir, a large number of mountain artillery, thunder cannons, mortars, and heavy machine guns were gathered on Tubal Road to ambush our forward troops at the gate of the city! The tanks of the chariot squadron were all blown up by mountain artillery. The bodies of the soldiers of the cavalry squadron were on the ground. There are bullet holes everywhere, and they are heavy machine guns. The Eighth Route Army prepared at least ten heavy machine guns on the city wall to shoot and massacre our cavalry squadron from the front!"
"The same goes for the infantry squadron. Tubal Road has assembled at least twenty heavy machine guns to ambush our infantry squadron!"
A slap in the face, for the native commander, this is definitely a slap in the face!
More than half an hour ago, I was confident that even if the forward troops were attacked, they would be able to delay their arrival until I arrived.
But the reality in front of him was just the opposite. He had arrived, but the forward troops were gone, and the Eighth Route Army that attacked the forward troops had also escaped.
If only Shouyang County was occupied by the Eighth Route Army, I could completely blame the Shouyang garrison. It was because of their inaction that they couldn't hold on for even a few hours.
But the forward troops were completely destroyed, especially the tank squadron, and the responsibility can only be placed on yourself.
If he cannot give an explanation to the military headquarters, the loss of a tank squadron alone is enough for the military headquarters to demote him. This is the result of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka's decision if he is in a good mood. If he is in a bad mood, he will be demoted directly. It is possible to take him to a military court.
You know, the entire First Army has a tank brigade too far away, and now one-third of it has been scrapped by him. Commander Yoshio Shinozuka cannot be angry. Because, the tank brigade has always been neglected by him. The trump card in your hand can only be used at critical moments. And as long as this trump card is used, the final victory will definitely belong to the imperial army.
The native commander, whose face was red with frustration and anger, was stunned for half a minute before he slowly calmed down.
In order to vent his anger and give an explanation to the military headquarters, he cursed loudly: "Bageya Road, cunning Tubal Road, we must destroy them!"
"Reconnaissance team, immediately find the retreat direction of Tubal Road. Others, follow the reconnaissance team and hunt down the Eighth Route Army!"
"We vow not to retreat until these cunning Eighth Route Army troops are eliminated!"
The native colonel was angered by Chen Zhengxiang's series of actions. Regardless of the adjutant's dissuasion, he led his troops and pursued him away from Taiyuan City.
At the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan City, Yoshio Shinozuka still didn't know that the native colonel was leading the two thousand imperial troops in his hands step by step.
At around three o'clock in the morning, he fell into sleep and was awakened again by the chief of staff.
In Jinzhong, which was guarding the southern gate of Taiyuan City, 10,000 to 20,000 Eighth Route Army troops suddenly appeared in the Yanggu area.
Overnight, more than a dozen strongholds and two county towns were occupied by the Eighth Route Army.
Then these Eighth Route Army troops seemed to be going crazy and desperately attacked Jinzhong, Yanggu and other county towns that were heavily defended by the Japanese army!
Although the First Army deployed a lot of troops there, facing the Eighth Route Army, which had absolutely superior strength, several counties seemed to have discussed it and sent telegrams asking for help at the same time.
"Bagaya Road, who can tell me what the Eighth Route Army wants to do?" Without intelligence support, Yoshio Shinozuka had no clue. He was like an angry wolf, scolding anyone he saw that he didn't like!
