After the torrential rain, although the rain is not heavy, it is enough to drench people all over the body in a short time.
In order to cover the infantry, which had already suffered heavy casualties, to break through the defense south of Longling City, the Japanese Second Tank Division could be said to have done its best.
The Japanese tanks, small and lightweight, quickly followed the route laid out by the sappers to the positions of the Chinese defenders, attempting to use artillery fire to reach and destroy the fire support points of the Chinese defenders.
The 9th Company of the 3rd Tank Battalion of the 1st Mechanized Division and the 1st Tank Regiment was deployed on the position of the 4th Infantry Regiment in the south of the city.
The young face of the commander of the ninth tank company of the "forward" tank was illuminated by the flash of the explosion, and even the icy rain flowed down the tank cap into his neck, and he was unaware of it, and on a rainy night, the depression, the mountainous and river-ridden western Yunnan and the Korean Peninsula were all extremely unsuitable places for mechanized corps to fight, but it was here in Longling, the commander of the Japanese Burmese Army, Kawabe Shozo, wanted to do the opposite, and he won a large number of tank troops from the base camp.
Song Yuanhang, who had the same goal, while holding the goal of training, also hoped that the tank could contribute to western Yunnan and Burma.
Under the city of Longling, nearly 100 remaining tanks of the Second Tank Division of the Japanese Army, which swept through thousands of armies, were put into battle in batches, and the Japanese army in the south of the city alone invested two tank brigades, which broke out inadvertently in the dark cold rain.
The Japanese Kudo Tank Brigade, which was trying to outflank and break through the positions of the 3rd Battalion of the 4th Infantry Regiment of the Chinese defenders, encountered the 9th Company of Tanks, which was intending to flank the flank of the Japanese tank troops.
Due to the obstruction of the rainy night, the tanks of both sides only spotted each other at a distance of 20 meters, and the tanks of the Chinese and Japanese armies marching in two columns along the ridge were in a state of elevated driving, and the Chinese tank crews could even hear the panicked shouts of the Japanese troops.
The turret of the Japanese Type 97 medium tank used a gear rotation mechanism, while the American T1E2 heavy tank used an electro-hydraulic and manual dual drive mode, and its speed from marching to battle was naturally very fast.
After firing a salvo of seven tanks on the Chinese side, the four Japanese tanks not far away were directly rolled down from the earthen beams, and the Japanese tanks following behind hurriedly hung up reverse gears in an attempt to retreat quickly.
Driving down the ridge and avoiding the sturdy frontal of the Chinese tank, the T1E2 heavy tank, although very strong, has an extremely fragile tail bonnet.
Drove down the earthen ridge with the intention of making a roundabout approach to several Japanese tanks.
Became the ground 4 Sherman tank prey hiding behind the T1E2 heavy tank.
At very close distances.
Located on the lower slope of the Dirt Ridge on the ground 4 Sherman tank easily with a short tube ground 76 mm tank gun.
Turned the Japanese outflanking chariot into a bonfire in the rain.
One may have been hit and burned in the rain.
The light of the fire reflected the dark armor of the Chinese tank.
Like a beast that comes to hell.
"The Roundabout Tank Brigade was blocked by the Shina tanks," Hiroji Imagawa said with an incredulous expression on his face.
I looked at the map in amazement.
It was supposed to be a very beautiful right hook.
It can cut off the connection between the forward troops of the Chinese defenders of Longling and the city of Longling.
Realize the purpose of dividing and encircling the ground.
But now the plan is clearly in the driver's seat.
In particular, the Kudo Tank Brigade reported to the division headquarters that it had been blocked by heavy tanks of the Shina Army.
Imagawa Hiroji immediately had the idea of retreating.
At this time.
After many fierce battles, the tank intact rate of the 2nd Tank Division was only two-fifths of the normal establishment.
In other words, the 2nd Tank Division was simply not able to compete with the 1st Mechanized Division.
Just as the wars fought in later generations are the comprehensive strength of the country.
The unit price is nearly $400,000.
The T1E2 heavy tank with a 35 mm front main armor is less than $40,000 per unit.
With only six millimeters of armor, the Japanese medium tank was unilaterally ravaged.
The T1E2 heavy tank, worth nearly $400,000, was piloted by warriors who hated the country and the family and hated them as if they were home.
It is likely to play on the battlefield with one to ten.
Even to hundreds of amazing combat power.
And this is all beyond the measurement and calculation of money When it was learned that the 9th Tank Company had repelled a Japanese tank brigade, it was a detour.
Destroyed more than 10 Japanese combat vehicles.
After the news of the land without war damage.
Song Yuhang smiled at the ground beam beside him: "This is the huge role played by advanced weapons.
In the European theater.
The German army was equipped with the King Tiger heavy tank, and there was a case of defeating a Soviet armored regiment with only three tanks.
Defeated more than 70 Soviet tanks T3476 and T3485 tanks. ” Song Yuhang said casually, but Liang Chao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and then Liang Chao asked with a smile: "Military seat, in addition to the first mechanized division of our First Mechanized Army, which is equipped with American-style tank armored vehicles, according to the establishment, there should be no infantry division in the mechanized army, Qi Baiming's second motorized infantry division is also formed according to the American-style light division."

As far as I'm concerned, the 3rd Infantry Division, shouldn't I add it after this battle?"
Song Yuhang looked back, Liang Chao frowned, and said: "Give you an armored division, you can command it, do you know that Chang Tianfang graduated from tank armor and has training and command experience in battalion and regiment-level armored units."
Even so, it was still very difficult for him to control the First Mechanized Division.
I often stay up all night looking at materials to learn and absorb knowledge."
Liang Chao rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "It's not an armored division, I heard that the three divisions of our army will receive the equipment of the American-style light division sooner or later."
I just gave my 3rd Infantry Division a name in advance, and I wasn't greedy.
Two battalions of 3A2 light combat vehicles, one battalion of 4 Shermans, plus one regiment of 8 Greyhound wheeled armored vehicles will do" "That's it" Song Yuhang's words made Liang Chao feel that there was a door, so he hurriedly beat the snake and took advantage of the situation and said: "It's best to give two 105mm howitzer battalions" "Be your mother's spring and autumn dream" Song Yuhang's words made Liang Chao, who had already floated to the clouds, fall back to the ground fiercely, and he was very unlucky to fall into the cracks in the ground.
Song Yuhang looked at the poor Liang Chao, a little unbearable, knocked on the table with the pencil in his hand and said: "Now the volume of the Hump Route is only more than 20,000 tons per month, these strategic materials, weapons and ammunition are to support the entire national battlefield, even our First Mechanized Army cannot be dominant, before the Yunnan-Burma Highway is opened, the scale of our First Mechanized Army must be controlled, because our fragile logistics simply cannot afford a fully equipped armored corps." ” "Only by opening up the highway from Myanmar to India can we get a large amount of U.S. aid materials in India," Song Yuhang's pen drew a straight line in western Yunnan, across Myanmar and directly to India.
"After this battle, our army will be reorganized, first correct your name, temporarily replenish some weapons and equipment, and when you take Burma and India, you will be expanded."
Song Yuhang said it very naturally, without treating Burma and India as British colonies, giving people the impression that Burma and India have been Chinese territory since ancient times.
Song Yuhang's words made Liang Chao and others enthusiastic The sound of Japanese artillery interrupted Liang Chao's beautiful reverie, and Liang Chao looked at the half of the sky outside the fortifications that was red by artillery fire with a little worry: "The Japanese army in the north of the city began to attack Song Yuhang took off a raincoat from the wall, lifted a submachine gun and said: "The guard company gathers, follow me to the position of the Sixth Regiment in the north of the city, I want to see how fierce the defeat of the Sixth Division will be." ” As soon as Liang Chao opened his mouth, Song Yuhang's eyes glared and said: "The national disaster is at the head, the man should not hesitate to be a general, he will inevitably die in a hundred battles, the military is the honor and disgrace of the nation, and the guns and cannons will cost millions of dollars, if you can't figure this out, don't be a soldier in my first mechanized army."
Liang's supernatural way was an excuse for Song Yuhang to go to the frontier, but he couldn't refute it at all After Song Yuhang left, Liang Chao answered the phone of the sixth regiment and said loudly to the regiment commander Liang Shen: "The rabbit cub military seat went to your regiment, if the military seat loses a hair, I will pick your skin and beat me hard, so that those gossiping people can see that our old Liang family is a good man with seeds."
Liang Shen on the other end of the phone replied viciously: "It's big brother, just look at it, I won't let you down." ” Song Yuhang, who rushed to the position of the Sixth Regiment in the north of the city, heard the earth-shattering sound of guns and cannons and shouts of killing on the way, Song Yuhang has always advocated despising the Japanese army strategically, attaching importance to the Japanese army tactically, and it is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers, although the Japanese Sixth Division was once defeated under the city of Kunming, and was annihilated by himself the 23rd Capital Wing, but he knew that the Japanese Sixth Division was definitely an opponent that should not be underestimated.
As the sixth division of the Japanese army's permanent division regiment, the Japanese army has always flaunted that it is good at fighting hard and strongly, regardless of casualties, forcibly storming the north of the city, so it is easy for the Japanese army to find the emptiness of Longling's city defense, after all, the Longling City that the whole army had previously held was handed over to the Third Infantry Division at this moment to a division and the army directly under the army to defend it, and the strength was already very stretched, but until the necessary moment, Song Yuhang would not consider too small a shrinking defense scale.
In a col on the 20th Highway north of Longling City, in several long-abandoned houses, the various antennas of Japanese officers standing nearby indicate the unusual features of this small col.
This small hill pass, which is not marked on the combat map of the Japanese army, has no name in Longling, and occasionally only cattle herders pass by, and now the headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army is set up in it.
The division commander Kanda Masa was sitting silently in the tent, the wind and rain everywhere in the farmhouse was really unbearable, the dry blanket and hot soup made him regain some vitality, and his originally pale face became rosy.
Kanda Masa immediately put down the soup jar and set his eyes on the map, and the sound of wind, rain, and gunfire outside could not disturb him in the slightest.
