Puff puff Just as the Japanese soldiers who had survived were lying down, several tall soldiers from the Northwest Army rushed out of the simple bunker and threw the grenades as quickly as possible.
The successive explosions caused more losses to the Japanese troops who rushed into the bamboo forest.
"kill" When the two troops in the bamboo forest fought together, the small Japanese army, which was attacking in a roundabout way, was exposed and lost its original fighting purpose.
This brigade-level collision quickly attracted the attention of the main players on both sides.
Among the three Japanese tanks, one squadron of Japanese troops and two Type 97 tanks had already arrived first. boom The Japanese army is not really stubborn.
At least at this time, the 57 long-barreled gun installed on the Type 97 tank has surpassed the tank with the most powerful firepower during the Pacific War in history when it fought with the United States in Southeast Asia.
The long-barreled tank gun already has quite strong destructive power.
At least at this time, the Northwest Army's simple fortifications were no longer enough in front of the Type 97 tanks, and the Type 97 tanks with gradually strengthened armor were also somewhat different from the historical Doudin tanks.
Large-caliber machine guns are now powerless against Type 97 tanks.
Amidst the tinkling sounds of bullets and armor, the Type 97 tank shot away the piled sandbags in front of it with one shot.
Also flying up with it were the soldiers of the Northwest Army and the Fire Snakes behind the sandbags.
General purpose machine gun.
"Long live the Emperor!"
After seeing that all that was left of the abominable general-purpose machine gun was a broken tripod lying on the ground, the Japanese soldiers nearby couldn't help but cheer.
Da da At this time, several Northwest Army soldiers were maniacally outputting firepower with imitation Czech light machine guns, trying their best to hit the Japanese soldiers following the tanks.
Boom, boom The Japanese tank guns and machine guns on them successively killed several Northwest Army machine gunners blocking the road.
"Lao San" Amid the shrill cries of his comrades, the originally hidden soldiers were exposed to the sight of the Japanese army.
"Asshole, there's a rocket launcher from the Northwest Army over there."
Soon, amidst the almost frightened cries of the Japanese soldiers, a rocket launcher hidden behind a simple bunker entered into the exclamations of more soldiers.
The enemy must not be allowed to succeed.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers showed their usual bravery and tenacity.
A wave of Japanese soldiers rushed out quickly, using the machine guns and rifle bullets in their hands to try their best to hit the northwest army on the opposite side.
Although he didn't hit the opponent in his haste, it was enough to have such harassment.
The actions of these infantrymen have attracted the attention of another Type 97 tank.
With one shot, the rocket launcher was blown up, but the subsequent explosion also felt like a heavy hammer to the hearts of the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese army has more than one tank, but the fearless Northwest Army also has more than one rocket launcher.
Different from the past many times when the Northwest Army used rocket launchers to ambush Japanese tanks, at this time, rocket launchers, which were not difficult to produce, had been equipped in batches among ground troops.
This is also an important reason why the Japanese armored forces suffered heavy losses in the Central Plains Theater and failed to win the Central Plains Theater despite heavy losses.
Heavy artillery alone cannot destroy the Northwest Army's will to resist.
In many cases, the role of tank assaults and covering infantry attacks is irreplaceable.
When these tanks rushed towards the positions of the Northwest Army, they suffered heavy blows one after another, not only from the Northwest armored forces, but also from these fearless anti-tank infantry.
The burning Type 97 tank made the Japanese officers in the rear wail in their hearts.
Another tank was destroyed by the opponent's infantry.
Yes, infantry.
Although the infantry casualties of the Northwest Army were more severe, to the Japanese officers, the Chinese were almost endless.
Walking all the way from the Northeast, there were people everywhere.
It is not a good deal to exchange a tank for some of the opponent's infantry.
If you kill a few, the opponent can recruit more.
However, the speed of the Japanese army's replenishment of tanks was not fast.
At least it is far less than the speed of the opponent's military expansion.
It is not difficult to imitate the rocket launcher, but the performance of the grenade launched in the early stage is really not very good.
The range of the improved rocket launcher named electric drill by the Northwest Army has reached more than 250 meters.
The range of the early imitation by the Japanese Army is the same as that of the earliest produced by the Northwest Army.
It was almost the same, less than 150 meters.
There was not only a gap in range between the two sides, but also a huge difference in armor-piercing ability.

The early bird catches the worm.
After all, Northwest has spent a few more years working on rocket launchers.
"kill" Soon, another grenadier of the Northwest Army was also suppressed by the hateful Japanese machine gun, lying behind a simple bunker unable to raise his head at all.
A large number of Japanese troops from behind swarmed up and stabbed the Northwest Army soldiers into sieves with their most angry bayonets.
"Why, the Japanese army has another brigade of reinforcements.
I have reinforcements here.
There is a Japanese brigade opposite me.
Now there are reinforcements.
You hold on, I can't bear it anymore when I send you a telegram to the military headquarters.
Just withdraw it, you guys?
We don't have to defend it.
I'll ask the military department to send a few tanks to assist you in withdrawing.
Then take a breath and call back."
Commander Wu of the Northwest Army became anxious on the phone.
He hung up without waiting for the other party's response, and then started again.
Make another call.
"Damn it, retreat to Winiugang.
If the Japanese army dares to catch up, tell them to look good again."
After calling twice, he found that there was no sound on the phone.
Captain Zhou cursed secretly and roared an order.
"Commander, the Japanese army is too tight-lipped now.
Even if they want to withdraw, they won't let them," the adjutant next to him said with anger and toothache.
"If you can't withdraw, keep holding on.
If you can't hold it anymore, pull a few Japanese soldiers on your back."
Captain Zhou smashed his hat on the ground.
After the Type 97 tanks appeared, two more Type 95 light tanks came out.
We reached the side of the bamboo forest.
The soldiers of the Northwest Army, who originally relied on machine rifle fire to suppress the Japanese troops in the woods, immediately collapsed without adequate defense.
The machine gun on the tank hit the ground and sent up a lot of dust, like a long snake woven from dust, biting towards the Northwest Army.
The Japanese troops in the bamboo forest of "Banzai" rushed out one after another.
In fact, in the previous battle, the Japanese army suffered even greater casualties in order to destroy the counterattack firepower of the Northwest Army as much as possible, and also lost a lot of light and heavy machine guns.
However, the fierce battle just now also knocked out the firepower of the Northwest Army's counterattack.
At this time, the Northwest Army was unable to cope with the Japanese brigade, which had about the same strength but had several tanks to support it.
"We can't hold it anymore, camp, you lead the brothers to evacuate first."
Company Commander Zhao and several soldiers tied the collected grenades together.
Although the Japanese army's protection of tanks is now much tighter than before, cluster grenades will blow up Japanese tanks.
It is very small, but at least for now it is the only way for the Northwest Army to threaten Japanese tanks.
The anti-war artillery and grenade launchers have been destroyed by the Japanese army.
Machine rifles and even small-caliber mortars cannot penetrate the armor of the Type 97 tank.
People will eventually progress in the war, after losing a large number of tanks and armored vehicles on the battlefields of the Central Plains.
Even the stubborn Japanese army had poor survivability on the battlefield because of armored vehicles and tanks.
We have to strengthen these big guys again and again.
To adapt to the deteriorating Central Plains battlefield for the Japanese army.
Although the manufacturing cost has skyrocketed due to the increase in the tonnage of Type 97 tanks, these improvements still have significant effects on the battlefield.
At least those Type 95 light tanks dare not rush so fast.

"boom" The battalion commander of the "Cao Ni Ancestor" saw the company commander responsible for breaking up the rear and several soldiers disintegrated in the explosion, or were crushed by the churning sandbags.
Scattered sand and blood were splashed everywhere.
"Go!"
amidst the screams of the battalion commander, the Northwest Army of the brigade fought and retreated, leaving corpses along the way.
Although the Northwest Army would not abandon the corpses of its comrades most of the time, things had priorities.
At the moment The Japanese army attacked too fiercely.
Not to mention the corpses of their comrades, even they themselves couldn't care about it at this time, and there were military orders strictly ordering them to retreat to Woniugang.
Military orders are like mountains.
In this kind of battle, they are more important than life.
"You can't let go of a single Chinese army" The Japanese army suffered too many casualties under machine gun fire before, but with this wave of counterattacks, the casualties were evened out again.
After finally regaining the upper hand, there was no way he was willing to let the enemy retreat so easily.
Two armies wearing different military uniforms were retreating and chasing each other in the undulating sand dunes.
"What bastard?
Inform Hisashi Yabe and ask him to immediately withdraw his troops and pursue him so close.
Do you want to die?"
Captain Yoshijima, who was in charge of operations in this direction at the rear, heard the news that Hisashi Yabe was leading the pursuit.
Furious and furious.
"Your Excellency Yoshijima, it is too late to inform the Yabe brigade at this time.
Someone was sent over just now to send a message.
They have passed the Hongwa Village.
I am afraid that they will soon collide with the reinforcements of the Chinese Army."
The staff officer reminded, "If the Yabe brigade fails at this time, then the position that the detachment just seized will fall back into the hands of the Northwest Army.
Prince Deyan will visit the theater tomorrow.
If the battle is not effective at this time, I'm afraid."
"Order the Iwasaki tank unit to take over the Yabe brigade, and also request aviation support."
Before the staff officer finished speaking, Captain Yoshijima quickly ordered that Prince Deyan come to the war zone for inspection.
On the one hand, it was to boost morale on behalf of the King of Heaven, and at the same time, it was also a rebaptism for the army.
Since the Kwantung Army suffered losses in the Battle of Nomonkan last year, heavy.
This war, which was not explicitly authorized by the base camp, resulted in such huge losses.
In order to curb the long-standing bad habit of subjugation in the Japanese army and change the tradition of private actions in the Japanese army, the purge, directed by the Emperor and unanimously agreed by the base camp, began with the Kwantung Army.
Although it is irrational to purge officers in a combat zone, after Prince Deyan traveled around the Northeast, his mission when he came to the Central Plains combat zone became patrolling and boosting morale, but at this time he would suffer a defeat.
There is a considerable chance that he will be labeled as incompetent and may even be disliked by the emperor.
Under this situation, faced with the Yabetsu Brigade who was pursuing too fast, Captain Yoshijima had no choice but to save him.
Otherwise, a brigade would be lost, and the position just taken would be taken back by the Northwest Army.
If it were normal times, it would be nothing.
After all, there were too many tug-of-wars between the Japanese army and the Northwest Army at this time.
But just like in later generations when superiors come to schools for inspections, schools must be cleaned.
Always maintain a good image in front of your superiors, rather than slipping up at critical moments.
In short, this order was issued, which went against the usual combat habits of the Yoshijima detachment leader.
But at the same time that the Yoshidao detachment leader issued the order, a seemingly mixed armored force of varying levels and a large number of soldiers transported by cars rushed to Wolugang from the opposite direction to the Japanese army.
"What, Waniugang, so close to the main force of the China Army, is the detachment leader crazy?
What if we encounter the tank troops of the China Army?
Their tanks are no slower than ours."
Iwasaki Hakuto received the order Then there was a moment of irritation.
"Your Excellency Iwasaki, the detachment leader said that Prince Tokuhiko came to inspect.

If the Yabetsu Brigade is encircled and annihilated by the Chinese army, the responsibility for the failure will be borne by Mr.
Iwasaki.
The other detachment leader has invited aviation for support."
The chief of staff next to him whispered.
"Everyone, bastard, follow me to Woniugang immediately."
Hearing the aviation support, Iwasaki Hakuto's face looked a little better.
Soon, 19 Type 97 tanks, 13 Type 95 tanks, 11 Type 95 light armored vehicles, dozens of trucks, and many three-wheeled motorcycles flying the sun flag followed Iwasaki Shiro.
Enter the car quickly according to Deng's order.
A mighty armored force marched towards the established combat area.
However, there was no smile on the face of Iwasaki Hakuto standing in the command vehicle.
Instead, there was an undisguised trace of worry in the corner of his eyes.
The same worry also flashed in the eyes of several other tank commanders.
Maybe the Air Force still has a certain advantage, and maybe the ground combat troops still have a certain degree of confidence compared to the Northwest Army, but as an armored unit, it is also the unit with the strongest combat capabilities among the Japanese ground forces.
After fighting for several years, in There have been bloody examples before.
Once the proud arm of the Japanese ground forces, it was also the first arm to lose confidence in the face of the enemy's troops of the same size.
It seems so absurd to lose confidence in front of the enemy, especially in front of such a backward enemy as the Chinese Army.
Of course, this does not mean that they dare not fight.
Facing the more powerful tanks of the Northwest Army, they also risked their lives.
However, in the Central Plains theater, they have tried their best to avoid fighting the enemy with sufficient artillery and ground troops.
But this time, we have to go deep into a very dangerous area.
This is really not a good signal.
But since he was transferred to the Yoshijima detachment, and he encountered that damn Tokuyan who didn't come early or late, he just happened to come up at this juncture.
I can only blame myself for being unlucky, I hope I can get through this smoothly
