The brick wall collapsed under the impact of the caterpillar tracks, and the Japanese troops defending inside were crushed by the collapsed wall.
After collapsing two huts one after another, a large number of Japanese troops were swept to the ground by the machine guns on the tanks.
Farther away, the frightened Japanese troops fled in all directions, but were attacked by the more agile and faster Snow Leopard armored vehicles from both sides.
Although the Snow Leopard armored vehicle is far less capable and thick than the Tomahawk, its ability to quickly attack and suppress the Japanese infantry who have lost heavy firepower is quite good.
The bullets of the Japanese army hit it with bangs and raindrops, although they knew that this level of attack was no different to the armored vehicles of the Northwest Army.
But in despair, the Japanese soldiers still hoped for a miracle.
Because apart from this level of attack, the Japanese army can no longer come up with effective means of coping.
"It's a pity that the central government does not have such a capable force.
Otherwise, on the frontal battlefield, we may not be much inferior to the Northwest Army."
Staff Liu looked at the tanks of the Northwest Army wreaking havoc under his nose, and he couldn't hide his envy on his face.
"Even if such a unit is equipped, without the cover of aerial firepower, it is no different from some iron coffins."
Guan Linzheng put down the telescope in his hand indifferently.
Among the 20th Army, his 52nd Army is the best at attacking, but The equipment cannot be said to be good, especially compared with the 3rd Mechanized Brigade of the Northwest Army in front of them, it is more than a little behind.
The opponent's very fast vehicle-towed artillery regiment alone has more firepower than his entire army, not to mention dozens of tanks.
Whether it is heavy firepower or light firepower, it has completely overwhelmed his first enemy. 52nd Army.
Regarding the relationship between the Northwest Army, Guan Linzheng has never told the outside world.
The Northwest Army also recruited him at the beginning, but he rejected it.
Now he is the commander of the Central Army of the National Army.
When Sun Liren chose to go to the northwest, he was alone.
Now he has become the commander of the 2nd Mechanized Brigade.
He is just a brigade on the other side, but he can beat him. of an army.
Sun Liren, a native of Anhui, became a senior general in the northwest army, while he, a northwester, became the commander of the southern army.
At this time, I can only lament that the current situation has made people miserable.
"That's true.
If it weren't for the help of the Northwest Air Force this time, even if the Japanese army was surrounded, it might not be possible to solve it so easily.
The Northwest Air Force has been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army for more than half a year, and until now, it can still support the war situation, which is even more surprising.
It’s unbelievable.
I heard that most of the Northwest Air Force’s aircraft are manufactured by themselves.
"It's really unbelievable."
Staff Liu nodded in agreement.
Since the war began, the most troublesome thing for the national army has been the all-pervasive Japanese aircraft.
The battlefield in the south has always been dominated by Japanese aircraft.
The Central Air Force only lost it after fighting a few battles.
In order to fight back, the main force is still licking its wounds in Wuhan.
After experiencing the Songhu and Nanjing wars, it has not recovered its strength until now.
"Okay, don't think about these useless things.
The Northwest Army's soldiers and gold are valuable.
They are only responsible for fighting the first half.
We will need our people to clean up the mess later."
Guan Linzheng interrupted the staff, but the shock in his heart was far greater than There are more advisers.
Chairman Chiang has been entrenched in Nanjing for many years.
Except that he has more people and land than in the northwest, there seems to be nothing he can't get rid of.
The prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River is far greater than in the northwest.
Jiang Li only stayed in the northwest for a few years, but he brought about earth-shaking changes in the northwest.
Seeing that they could barely block the Japanese army in the north.

The number of troops on the North China Front is much greater than that of the Japanese troops on the East China Front.
Although hundreds of thousands of people were lost during the Battle of Taiyuan, North China was vast and the Japanese army moved southward from the northeast, which was more conducive to the rapid movement and attack of the Japanese mechanized troops.
Relatively difficult to defend.
And once a defeat occurs, facing the rapid response and pursuit of the Japanese army, the defeat of hundreds of thousands of troops will be simply disastrous consequences.
Guan Linzheng even said with certainty that if the Battle of Songhu with 7.8 million people had been fought in Pingjin, based on the chaos of the retreat, it is estimated that at least 4.5 million people would have been trapped by the Japanese army.
If the losses at that time were so heavy, the central government at this time would not be able to organize a large-scale battle like Xuzhou and achieve such results.
And now, even though there were many gains in the battle of Taierzhuang, in this case, due to the lack of attack power of the Central Army itself and the suspicion between the factions, the Setani detachment and Sakamoto, who were about to be divided and annihilated, were still left.
Most of the detachment almost escaped from the encirclement, making the large-scale deployment in the early stage almost in vain.
Fortunately, the 3rd Mechanized Brigade of the Northwest Army blocked this gap in time, and the Central Army's hard work in Taierzhuang was richly rewarded.
The encirclement and annihilation war by the Taierzhuang dispatched troops has also come to an end.
Nearly three detachments of the Japanese army, with more than 20,000 troops, have been surrounded and annihilated outside Taierzhuang.
This war is not over yet.
It is foreseeable that this will also happen naturally.
Since the July 7th Incident, it was the battle with the most fruitful results and the largest number of Japanese troops annihilated.
It was enough to make the Japanese army lose face internationally.
The more this is the case, the more Guan Linzheng can feel the terror of the Northwest Army in comparison.
The Northwest Army has the ability to engage in head-on combat with the Japanese army, has the ability to attack difficult targets that the Central Army does not have, and also has the ability to respond quickly that the Central Army cannot match.
Especially in pursuit or retreat, and in the transportation support of logistics materials.
These capabilities require years, months, and a powerful transportation system to guarantee them.
This is also the reason why the Japanese army is stronger than the Chinese army.
The Northwest Army, however, lagged behind the Central Army in these aspects.
Maybe after the Japanese army is defeated in the future, there will still be a fight between dragons and tigers in the Republic of China.
Maybe the central government should have realized this, but when the time comes, as a senior general of the Central Army, how should I deal with it?
Should I lead my troops to another Central Plains war with the Northwest Army?
Or should I disobey military orders?
Thinking of this , Guan Linzheng couldn't help but feel confused, and he couldn't see the future direction clearly.
At this time, the Japanese troops in Taierzhuang and the 31st Division troops were separated by walls and fighting house by house.
At this time, the Japanese army was consuming more and more ammunition and wanted to withdraw safely, but it was no longer possible.
The defenders of the 31st Division used relatively simple machine rifle firepower and grenade blockade to block the Japanese army's retreat.
This was almost unimaginable for ordinary Japanese or Chinese soldiers.
But at this time, the Japanese army's ammunition had dropped to an extremely dangerous level.
A considerable number of the Japanese army only had a few bullets left.
After firing, they could only use bayonets to confront the soldiers of the 31st Division head-on.
Lacking sufficient fire cover, a large number of Japanese troops were directly shot and killed.
As the Japanese troops fled, they were also annihilated in batches by the pursuing troops.
By around five o'clock in the morning the next day, all the Japanese troops in Taierzhuang had been cleared.
After the Setani detachment was surrounded and annihilated, the Northwest Army, with the mechanized brigade as the vanguard, quickly defeated the Sakamoto detachment, which was fleeing northward.
After handing over the divided Sakamoto detachment to Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army, Zhang Chujiu personally led the troops and attacked Zaozhuang before the Japanese army in North China had time to make sufficient adjustments and arrangements.
"So far, the Japanese troops fighting in Taierzhuang, including the Segu, Sakamoto detachment, Taierzhuang dispatched troops, and the previous operations, have clearly annihilated more than 29,390 Japanese troops, destroyed 36 Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, and over there in the 5th theater They also captured 8 tanks that were not completely destroyed by the Japanese army.
Three crawler tractors were sent to the south for maintenance.
In terms of air combat, this time we had three more aerial combat aces.
One of them was a new one.
He appeared very quickly and shot down 35 Japanese aircraft.
The losses of the Central Air Force were 29, and our Northwest Air Force actually lost 17. " "In addition, we lost an Avenger tank and 2 Snow Leopard armored vehicles.
As for the number of casualties in terms of military strength, the Northwest Army, including the Central Army, only lost more than 58,700 people.

The Sichuan Army where Sun Zhen was killed was the one we sent out, which suffered more losses.
Big.
But excluding the losses in the northwest, the exchange ratio with the Japanese army so far has been more than two to one.
Compared with previous battles, the ratio of losses between the two sides this time has reached such a level.
It’s quite beautiful.”
When the lieutenant colonel in front of him read the battle report about the Battle of Xuzhou to Jiang Li and others, he felt a little stressed in the face of this group of people with shining generals.
But as I got to the back, I felt a little excited when I read these exciting battle reports.
Although the main force in this battle was the Central Army in the south, this victory was an out-and-out victory for the entire Republic of China.
Moreover, most of the Japanese troops killed in battle were from the North China Front, which means that the burden on the shoulders of the Northwest Army will be relatively lighter in the future.
"Where is Zhang Chujiu now?"
Jiang Li looked at the huge combat sandbox in the headquarters, with a large combat map on the wall behind him.
"The 3rd Mechanized Brigade is now moving towards Zaozhuang.
This time the Central Army finally achieved a great victory.
It is a rare opportunity to defeat the Japanese army, so it will not give up.
Now the major newspapers in the south are hyping up the victory of the Taierzhuang Battle.
It was as if this battle was entirely caused by them, so Zhang Chujiu could not have blocked him in time.
With the basket they dug out, at least the main forces of the Setani detachment and the Sakamoto detachment could successfully escape to Zaozhuang.
When the time comes, they will stick to the ground and get new supplies.
With the firepower of the Central Army, if they want to take down Zaozhuang, they will be unable to do so.
It’s nothing but a dream.
Without the air cover provided by our Northwest Army, we may not be able to encircle and annihilate this Japanese army.”
Yang Hucheng became a little angry when he thought that the central government's propaganda for the Taierzhuang victory at this time had completely ignored the efforts of the Northwest Army.
Although the Central Army was responsible for the overall situation, the final decisive blow came from the Northwest Army, which hit the Japanese army seven inches away from Taierzhuang.
"That's right, Commander, why don't we also step up our propaganda campaign so that all the limelight cannot be taken away by the central government?
We also put in a lot of effort in this battle.
Sun Zhen, who is responsible for blocking the attack, has a regiment and more than a thousand cavalry. , half of them were killed by the Japanese army, are our dead no longer human beings?"
Zhang Zhibang said with the same annoyance.
"Okay, if Chairman Chiang wants to strive for merit and international status, that is up to him.
It is rare for the Central Committee to have a good record.
Real gold is not afraid of fire, and there will be many opportunities to fight the Japanese army in the future. , If you have the ability, you can also try to launch a larger encirclement battle.
Anyway, this time the Central Army.
The performance was pretty good.
The Northwest Army didn't bother to pick up other people's leftovers.
However, as for this battle, the people responsible for compiling the war history of the Republic of China should record the battle truthfully.
Let's put aside the truth and mist.
Looking back in ten or twenty years, history will always give a true evaluation of the Northwest Army.”
Jiang Li shook his head and launched a public opinion offensive.
He was destined to compete with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
Even if he won the battle, it would not be of much practical benefit to the northwest.
"In addition, each group army must carefully analyze this battle.
The disconnection between the main force of the North China Front Army and the several Japanese detachments fighting directly in Taierzhuang, as well as the factional views of the Central Army, almost delayed the war.
They were all caused by the Northwest Army Lessons from the past.”
"In any case, the Shaanxi Army has been integrated into the larger system of the Northwest Army.
It is impossible to do such a thing.
Besides, Chairman Chiang is no match for the commander.

The commander killed all the way from Tan Zixin to Han Fuju.
Who else Dare to obey Yang and violate Yang," Yang Hucheng first expressed his stance after hearing Jiang Li's words.
"I don't mean to take it personally.
This time, Lanzhou also made a special trip to send a telegram.
Regarding some delays in the Central Army's fighter planes during the Battle of Taierzhuang, they made a special trip to give me some opinions on this matter.
Let me be responsible for rectification.
There are differences among the factions of the Northwest Army This problem paved the way for the complete transformation of the army into the northwest.
In addition, in view of the disconnection between the main force of the Japanese front army and the Taierzhuang combat troops in this battle, all ministries must also learn from it.
The main force must not act without authorization without superior military orders.
So as not to affect the overall situation.”
Jiang Li shook his head.
According to Chairman Chiang and Northwest's own intelligence, the Japanese army made a major strategic mistake in launching the Battle of Xuzhou.
Not only was the launch time too early, but it was also contrary to the intentions of the Japanese base camp.
Since September 18th, the Japanese army has had two large-scale private operations.
One was on September 18th.
The following unauthorized actions forced the base camp to make some urgent arrangements, deploy troops, and a large amount of supplies.
It takes time.
And compact interconnection is not as good as careful planning and layout.
There was not a close connection between the movements of most of the Japanese army on September 18th.
Jiang Li seized the opportunity and first defeated the Kwantung Army, which was scattered in various places and had not been prepared for long, and then pieced it together to form an army of more than ten people.
An army of ten thousand people spent several months fighting the Japanese army in Fengtian.
It caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese army, and all they got was a destroyed Fengtian City
