The Japanese tanks were bumped between potholes, and they traveled in a circuitous way on a relatively hard and flat hard dirt road, moving rapidly with billowing smoke and dust.
However, the five T1E2 heavy tanks commanded by Tang Zhiqiang naturally did not miss any opportunity, focusing on aiming and shooting, accompanied by the roar of the tank's main gun, the flowers of death bloomed extremely bright and beautiful.
The huge sacrifice of the troops had already caused Nishiki Shinma and Sakai Takashi to fall into numbness, and at the moment they had only one thought, which was to rush forward and tear those damn Shina apart In the sheltered command post of the rear front, Imagawa Koji silently counted the distance between the two sides, the Chinese tanks showed no sign of retreat, at this moment Imagawa Koji was most afraid of the Chinese tanks suddenly retreating, using the distance to continue to maintain their firepower superiority, as long as their own tanks rushed over, leaning up, Imagawa Koji firmly believed that there would be weaknesses in a strong fortress, and the same would be true for heavy tanks. "300 meters of free fire from each vehicle" The remnants of the light tanks and the Type 97 medium tanks of the Nishiki Brigade and the Sakai Brigade began to fire, and the intensive firing of more than 40 Japanese tanks suddenly formed a barrage, and the flash of the explosion and the smoke and dust that stirred up immediately annihilated the Chinese tanks.
"Forward" The drivers of the Japanese tanks howled and stepped on the accelerator to the end, in their opinion, the Chinese tanks were certain to die, and each Chinese tank was directly hit by at least two or more shells.
The Japanese army was very wishful thinking to use their own tanks to compare with the opponent's tanks, it can be said that the Japanese Second Division had not encountered Chinese tanks at all before this, and their opponents only appeared sporadically in the Chinese armored vehicles at very rare times, and they faced the Chinese infantry who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, holding explosives bags one after another, trying to get close to the tanks.
The more good the wish, the harder it seems to come true, when the smoke and dust clear.
Five Chinese heavy tanks returned fire, and at a distance of less than 300 meters, the Chinese tanks achieved an impressive result of hitting all five shots.
Shinma Nishiki and Takashi Sakai were surprised to find that the Chinese tanks were undamaged "How is this possible, how is this possible," Takashi Sakai howled in a frustrated manner "Get closer, and destroy them," Takashi Sakai cries out on the radio as if the end of the world had come, and anyone who knows Takashi Sakai knows that he only screams wildly in moments of extreme tension and panic.
Standing in the rear and watching the battlefield, the commander of Imagawa Koji's division was already soaked with sweat.
Before the war, Imagawa Hiroji went to Germany as a representative of the army province to discuss armored tank technology.
It is a pity that Germany only opened up the technical information of Type 3 tanks and armored vehicles to the Japanese army.
The information on the Type 4 medium tank and the heavy tank that was being developed at that time was kept secret.
This made the people in the interior of the Japanese Army's "armored flow" very angry at that time.
Thinks the Germans are too autistic and conservative.
Lack of alliance sincerity and spirit of cooperation.
Due to the influence of the planned location of the Navy's large ships.
The development of ground weapons in the army has always lagged behind.
In addition, some old diehards in the First World War added fuel to the fire.
As a result, the development of army weapons and tactics is in a state of stagnation.
Combat vehicles are still considered infantry ground auxiliary weapons.
If it weren't for the great and brilliant victories that Germany achieved with its armored divisions.
The Imperial Chariot Force is still a wing in size.
The brigade is used separately for infantry operations.
One hundred meters away, Tang Zhiqiang commanded five T1E2 heavy tanks began to converge into a diamond-shaped formation and slowly advance.
The Japanese tank-ground 3 mm caliber guns were undoubtedly tickling for the T1E2 heavy tank.
But the T1E heavy tank ground 100 mm gun was deadly for Japanese tanks.
"The car. 120 plus or minus 2 reload shots in the direction of 11 o'clock" Hit the steering with a bang "Ding in front of the car body shot" after a slight shock.
The car was filled with a smell of burnt soil.
The baby-faced preloader's voice was visibly alarmed.
Tang Zhiqiang stepped on the shoulders of the young loader with his foot.
Signal him to calm down with his eyes.
The baby-faced loader noticed Tang Zhiqiang's calm and determined gaze.
Blushing.
Hurriedly bent down and drew an armor-piercing bullet and filled it into the chamber.
Close the pop-up valve.
Roar: "Reloaded" "Shooting" At a very close distance, after the Chinese and Japanese tanks fired a salvo at each other almost simultaneously, the 100 mm armor-piercing shells fired by the T1E2 heavy tank cut the Japanese Type 97 medium tank in half, and all the shells fired by the Japanese Type 97 tank were bounced off by the heavy armor of the T1E2 heavy tank.
"Oh my God" The officers and soldiers of the Japanese tanks in a state of madness also began to gradually wake up, there is something to do, when people are in a desperate and dangerous situation, the vast majority of people will choose to survive according to instinct and nature, but there are also people who will choose to kill themselves, so a few desperate Japanese tanks launched a decisive attack on the five T1E2 heavy tanks of the First Mechanized Division.
Several of the Japanese tanks that launched the attack quickly turned into bonfires with thick smoke, and Sakai's car was also broken by the No. 115 tank commanded by Tang Zhiqiang.
Sakai's death made Nishiki Shinjin sober up in time, Nishiki Shinjin finally realized that the huge gap in weapons and equipment could not be made up by relying on courage, but the battle had been carried out to the point where there was no way back, and the huge losses of the troops made Nishiki Shinjin unable to afford the consequences of retreating without permission, and the honor of being an emperor could not allow him to retreat without victory, Nishiki Shinzane knew that his best result was to dedicate himself to the country like Sakai Takashi.
In the sound of explosions from time to time, the remaining Japanese tanks kept firing desperately at the Chinese tanks, hoping that a miracle would happen.
The strong combat effectiveness of the squadron's American tanks not only shocked Shinma Nishiki, but also deeply shocked Hiroji Imagawa, who was a bystander, as the scarred Chinese tanks were still slowly advancing, and every time the Chinese tanks stopped to shoot, several tanks were hit.
The sheer power of the Chinese tank's main guns made it almost impossible for the Japanese tank crews to survive, and such a one-sided battle situation made Imagawa Koji break out in a cold sweat and feel a chilling sense of threat, and the consequences of allowing the squadron to be heavily equipped with American-style weapons were really terrible.
Imagawa Hiroji said to the combat staff officer beside him with a tired face: "Let the troops withdraw."
"Can't be withdrawn" The commander of the 51st Brigade of the 51st Brigade of the Japanese Army, Naaki Kawaguchi, suddenly objected loudly Imagawa Koji glanced at Naaki Kawaguchi with a low expression, as if he had lost even the will to argue and justify.
Imagawa Koji glanced at the battlefield and said sharply to the combat staff officer beside him, "Please carry out the order" At the time of the dispute between Imagawa Koji and Naaki Kawaguchi, the Japanese infantry overtook the chariot unit like a tidal wave.

Under the cover of mortars and grenadiers, avoiding the Chinese tanks, the assault began from both flanks towards the arc line defended by the Hou barracks.
Ten American-style 8 Greyhound wheeled armored vehicles, which had been serving as fire support points in the core of the Chinese defenders' positions, played a mainstay role, weighed only 7 tons, and were armed with a long-barreled 37 mm caliber gun and three 762 mm caliber machine guns.
A 050-inch machine gun 8 Greyhound wheeled armored vehicle has basic fragmentation protection, and its long-barreled 37 mm caliber gun poses a threat to almost all models of combat vehicles equipped by the Japanese army, while the four machine guns it is equipped with are a huge threat to infantry, especially the 8H model, which can carry four to six infantry in its elongated rear body.
Shoot through perforations in the hull of the vehicle, or carry supplies on board the wounded.
These ten 8 Greyhound wheeled armored vehicles are all owned by the First Mechanized Division, which is the all-terrain armored reconnaissance vehicles that the US Army began to equip with light divisions in the second half of 43 years, and before the major counteroffensive, the First Mechanized Division hurriedly received the first batch of ten vehicles that were airlifted to Kunming.
When receiving the car, Song Yuhang felt that the US military seemed to be more willing to provide this kind of light armored vehicle, and although Song Yuhang had a soft spot for the American heavy armorer, he was not opposed to receiving high performance.
Weapons and equipment that are easier to maintain and more suitable for the characteristics of Chinese roads.
In short, Song Yuhang has only one attitude towards American-style equipment, that is, the more the merrier.
All are welcome.
At this moment, standing in the interior of the command post of the Third Infantry Division, Song Yuhang was lying in front of the periscope artillery team to observe the situation at the front line.
Pre-positioned to save the large-scale engagement that had turned into a divisional combat unit, for which the 3rd Infantry Division had advanced the battle line nearly 1,000 meters.
The starting position of the Japanese attack had been occupied by the 3rd Infantry Division.
"Who the hell is attacking whom" Kawabe Shozo slammed the rice ball in his hand to the ground, and kicked the soup box in front of him, and the hot soup scalded Kawabe's teeth.
The defeat of the 2nd Tank Division put the Japanese infantry directly under the tank and armored fire of the Chinese defenders, and the two brigades under the 51st Brigade of the Japanese Army quickly fell into a rout.
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity when the Japanese army was defeated and fell into chaos, Hou Bing immediately got in touch with Tang Zhiqiang and arranged for the crew and wounded of the US transport plane to retreat first in 8 Greyhound wheeled armored transport vehicles.
In the previous fierce tank battle, the Chinese tank defeated the Japanese army with a complete victory, and within a depth of 1,000 meters in front of the Chinese position, the wreckage of the Japanese tank could be seen everywhere, and the corpses that fell next to the tank in different forms seemed to show the tragedy of the battle just now.
As Tang Zhiqiang, who was in the middle of it, knew very well that the five T1E heavy tanks that seemed to be glorious and glorious had actually reached the point where they ran out of fuel and turned off their lights.
The five T1E2 heavy tanks that have been the main force of the battle are actually equivalent to withstanding the baptism of saturation attacks of the two tank brigades of the Japanese army, 110, the two vehicles side by side machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, course machine guns, the second auxiliary wheel of the guide, the water tank, the spare fuel tank, the second, fourth, and fifth commander's circumferential viewing glasses were destroyed, and the 112, 113, and 115 vehicles were also exhausted of ammunition, casualties, and many damage to the tank vehicles.
Retreat is obviously the most rational, but Tang Zhiqiang hesitated on the issue of letting the infantry cut off for himself, Hou Bing glanced anxiously at the Japanese position, he knew that if his retreat was detected by the Japanese army, it was likely to lead to a more frantic attack.
"Don't hesitate, I order you to retreat" Hou Bing began to use his rank to oppress Tang Zhiqiang, who was unwilling to retreat, Tang Zhiqiang hesitated, leaving three 8 greyhound wheeled armored vehicles with sufficient ammunition, and then solemnly saluted Hou Bing and said: "Come back, brother, I invite you to drink the perfect tonic wine and eat the whole snake" Who is Tang Zhiqiang, in the First Mechanized Army, you don't know the chief of staff Xu Tu'an, and you can't even know the military seat Song Yuhang, but Tang Zhiqiang and Shi Bo don't eat on their four legs except for the bench, and the "God of Food" who even eats on both legs can be said to be known to everyone.
Tang Zhiqiang invited him to drink and eat, and suddenly a stream of sour water gushed out of Hou Bing's stomach:
