As soon as the armored vehicle fired, it knocked down the Eighth Route Army ambush troops and killed a lot of their firepower.
The powerful strength made the chaotic Japanese around them suddenly become orderly. Under the command of the sergeant and squad leader, they formed combat units one by one and lay on the ground to fight back.
Armored vehicles are obviously not satisfied with on-the-spot counterattacks and passive defense.
Relying on his thick skin and powerful firepower, he belched out black smoke and rushed toward the Eighth Route Army position dozens of meters away. Two small groups of Japs followed behind, ready to take advantage and expand the effect.
The pressure on the two platoons targeted by the armored vehicles suddenly increased. The bullets flying above their heads were so heavy that they could not even lift their heads, let alone raise their guns to fight back.
Wang Ping had only one thought in his mind at this moment: These Japs are indeed elites who have just come down from the front line. The infantry and armored vehicles cooperate very skillfully. After being attacked, they can respond quickly and launch a counterattack...
"If the New Group encountered this situation, the New Group would never be able to do it."
He frowned and ordered: "That's almost it. Let the soldiers retreat, break away from the Japs, and quickly exit the battlefield!"
The Japanese camp stretched for several kilometers. The division commander, Lieutenant General Ito, was also awakened by the sound of gunfire. He rushed out of the tent and raised his binoculars to look at the battlefield.
Seeing the armored vehicles leading the troops out of the barracks, the battlefield situation developed exactly as he had expected. Lieutenant General Ito's tense heart suddenly relaxed. He returned to the tent where the headquarters was located and waited for the battle to end with a relaxed expression.
Lieutenant General Ito was not in a hurry. No matter how anxious the Chief of Staff who was following him was, he could only hold it in his heart.
After finally enduring the gunfire, a major rushed into the headquarters with excitement on his face, and the chief of staff felt relieved.
Lieutenant General Ito's face was very relaxed from beginning to end, and he still had a calm attitude.
"Division Commander, the attacking troops successfully repulsed the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops and the ambush troops who wanted to ambush our attacking troops. They killed more than a hundred Eighth Route Army people. There were more than 30 corpses on the battlefield that the Eighth Route Army had no time to take away. They also seized light and heavy machine guns.
A bit..."
"In addition, including sentries, patrols, and attack troops, we lost a total of 58 imperial troops, of which 42 were killed in battle..."
"Yoshi..." Ito replied calmly, unable to tell whether he was happy or dissatisfied.
"The attacking troops fought well, but there were a few casualties. However, compared with the losses and results of other troops after being attacked by the Eighth Route Army at night, we are already doing very well!"
"Order the troops to continue to counterattack in the same way if they are attacked again at night!"
"The current casualty ratio is one to two. We have a strength advantage. Even if we try hard, our opponent, the New Regiment, can't beat us!"
After the major left with a smile, the chief of staff immediately asked: "Division commander, you have arranged everything, and the result just now was already within your expectation!"
"Not bad!" Lieutenant General Ito did not hide anything and answered readily.
"As long as you study our enemies more, you can make such arrangements in advance, and then catch the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack force by surprise. Tell the Eighth Route Army that night is not only their world, but also our Imperial Army's world!"
On a hillside nearly two kilometers away from the Japanese army station, more than two hundred Eighth Route Army soldiers were sitting there with their heads lowered and resting. Their morale was very low.
Because just now they suffered a defeat, and it was a huge defeat. Not only did they not eliminate many Japanese soldiers, they also suffered fifty or sixty casualties.
If it hadn't been for the sudden response from the direct team, the Japanese armored vehicles chasing them would have killed at least twenty soldiers.
"Captain, I can't swallow this breath, I must take revenge!" Tang Guangxin, who had suffered heavy losses, said with an expression of gritted teeth.
"I want revenge too..." Captain Yang of the assault battalion shouted immediately after him.
"Many soldiers were killed by Japs armored vehicles. Next time, I will send death squads to destroy their armored vehicles!"
The Japs' fierceness made Wang Ping's face become extremely heavy.
I originally thought that as long as I retreated in time, my troops would suffer at most one platoon casualty.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese's reaction speed was too fast and the infantry and armored vehicles cooperated skillfully, which ultimately resulted in the casualties of nearly two platoons.
Such a result was definitely not what Wang Ping wanted to see. As a commander who had never suffered a loss on the battlefield, he suffered such a big loss all of a sudden. He wanted revenge more than anyone else.
He frowned and ordered: "Li Wen, choose the location of the raid again, and fight again the old way. But this time we have to set the time at four o'clock in the morning, and wait for the engineer company to arrive before attacking!"
"We are not equipped with anti-tank weapons. Only the engineer company can deal with Japanese tanks and armored vehicles!"
The Japanese military garrison, which became quiet again, was not attacked for the next few hours, not even a single gunshot was fired.
The quiet night slowly relaxed the tense heart of the Japanese.
At four o'clock in the morning, when a person is deepest in sleep and when the Japanese patrol team is most tired and easily distracted, the direct team takes action.
This attack was obviously more successful than the previous one.
In less than half a minute, more than 20 Japanese soldiers were captured by the direct team. Just as they were preparing to continue the assault on the road, the tanks hidden in the garrison moved.
The vehicle-mounted machine guns of the two tanks suddenly opened fire, repelling the commandos at once. Then the two tanks lined up rushed out of the station and led two infantry squadrons to launch a counterattack against the direct team.
The fighting in the first half of the night has spread throughout the station.
For wiping out more than 100 Eighth Route Army troops, the commanders of the two armored vehicles were encouraged on the spot by the division commander Lieutenant General Ito, who promoted them to one rank.
Promotion is every soldier's dream, and the Japanese commanders of the two tank carriages also wanted to be promoted. Therefore, from the beginning, they commanded the tanks to rush out of the station with the idea of ​​counterattacking the Eighth Route Army and severely damaging the Eighth Route Army. They followed closely behind the directly affiliated team, deep inside
Afraid of losing track!
"Captain, the direct team has brought the Japs over. The Japs' strength has not changed, but the armored vehicles have turned into tanks!" the instructor of the direct team rushed over panting to report.
Wang Ping directly turned his attention to the engineer company commander Chen Jianqiao.
"It shouldn't be a problem to blow up the Japs' thin-skinned tanks!"
"The heavy artillery shells we buried in front of us are all the heavy artillery shells we captured from the Japs. They are very powerful. Even if they hit the front armor of a tank, they can make a big hole, not to mention the site with the worst protection of the tank. I guarantee there will be no problem!"
"As long as the tanks come over, I guarantee they will be blown to pieces!"
