Even the Japanese grenadiers would have to pay a heavy price to destroy the tanks of the Northwest Army.
As for these ordinary Japanese infantry, the Northwestern Army tanks at this time can only be described as unscrupulous.
Da da The machine guns mounted on the tanks swept through them all the way, and a large number of Japanese soldiers who were not afraid of death howled miserably and fell to the ground.
Bang: The stubborn Japanese soldiers smashed the burning gasoline bottles on the steel plate of the Tomahawk tank, and the gasoline burned on the steel plate.
At Nomenkan, facing hundreds of Soviet tanks and armored vehicles, the Japanese army, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of technical arms, used this method, as well as some infantry artillery, to inflict heavy damage on the Soviet armored forces.
Most of the tanks and armored vehicles lost by the Soviet Union were actually lost in the hands of Japanese infantry.
It's just that the Japanese army's move doesn't seem to be very effective at the moment.
Although there have been countless failures, the Japanese infantry still risked their lives to charge forward, using their own lives to try to get something they deserved.
But this move by the Japanese army was not a big blow to the tanks of the Northwest Army.
The Tomahawk tank equipped with a diesel engine cannot be easily solved by these two.
"The Japanese army is really desperate in fighting."
The overall situation has been decided, Captain Zhou put down his binoculars and sighed.
"In the past, even if most of the remaining Japanese troops were taken by force, a few teeth would probably be broken.
But now the war is developing too fast, and the Japanese army can no longer make much of a splash , Even if they are not afraid of death, in the current war mode, in many cases, they can achieve their goals without risking their lives. " The chief of staff next to him saw the two Tabby Cat attack planes coming back again.
The Japanese army, which had only been in their early 700s since the original attack, had no resistance at all and was torn apart by ten Tomahawk and Sword assault cannons. defense.
There was only one infantry gun and two combat artillery pieces.
Facing the ten big vehicles attacking the Japanese position, the ten 75 tank guns were overwhelming, both in terms of caliber and quantity. advantages.
After several rounds of shelling, several simple positions of the Japanese army and the only remaining artillery pieces were blown into a pile of scrap metal.
The Japanese army, which was left with mainly light weapons, was no longer capable of resisting this level of impact.
Taking the traces of the tanks' tracks as the boundary, most of the Japanese army's brigade was cut into several parts.
The Japanese soldiers who had no time to retreat, as well as the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who were killed by the machine guns on the tanks, were pressed together under the hard tracks.
A pile of flesh and blood residue.
"Sir Yabe, we are defeated."
The chest of a lieutenant colonel next to him was covered with bright red blood, but what was even more ugly than his chest was the extremely defeated face of the Japanese lieutenant colonel.
"The empire will not be defeated.
The Chinese people will pay a heavier price for today's actions in the future."
His face was as iron as steel, and he slowly drew out his saber and looked at the giant tanks that were quickly crushing them. , screamed, "The fearless warriors of the empire, even if they die, will die on the way to charge.
The empire is undefeated, long live the emperor!"
"No need to fire, save some ammunition, damn, one shell costs a few northwest tickets.
The little devil's life is not worth so much money."
The gunner of the tank gun was preparing to fire another shot to destroy the Japanese headquarters. .
But soon I heard the voice of the commander Hu Yaoguang.
"Lao Hu, your hobby is really perverted."
The gunner replied after hearing Hu Yaoguang's voice.
"Compared to these beasts who massacred Nanjing, we are still too kind.
If we have the opportunity to fight against several Japanese divisions that participated in the attack on Nanjing, we will make them regret coming to this world."
Hu Yaoguangsen gritted his teeth coldly, " Now let’s get some interest back from these little devils.”
Amidst the shrill screams, Captain Yabeshou's body was swallowed up bit by bit by the tracks.
His lower body was squeezed hard, and blood flowed back, causing Yabeshou's entire face to turn into a pig liver color due to excessive congestion. , under this kind of inhuman pain, Hisashi Yabe's scream even surpassed the roar of the tank engine.
It can be seen that sometimes, people still have great potential, but it is of no use in this situation.
A small amount of artillery can't threaten these steel lumps.
Ordinary infantry who mainly use machine rifles and grenade launchers, no matter how courageous they are, will be in vain when facing these rampaging big guys.
Seeing that under the three-dimensional attack of the Huamao and the Tomahawk Clearance, the enemy's defeated army was unable to organize an effective defense, and the simple positions were constantly being plowed open.
Not long after, Commander Lu issued the order for a general attack.
The soldiers of the brigade followed the returning tanks and once again stepped on the dilapidated Japanese positions.

Stepping over the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
In the other direction, a small number of remaining Japanese soldiers fled in panic into the distance, as well as several troop transport trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles.
At this time, the Tabby Cat attack aircraft had already returned due to exhaustion of ammunition.
Without the pursuit of the tabby cat, the Japanese soldiers who got into the car felt a strong desire for survival.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Several Snow Leopard armored vehicles were waiting on the retreat of the Japanese army.
"Hurry, hurry up, rush over."
When the Japanese noncommissioned officer sitting on the three-wheeled motorcycle saw the familiar armored vehicle, he suddenly felt that the sky was about to collapse.
Da da The firepower of the Snow Leopard armored vehicle will not stop because of the fear of the Japanese army.
On the contrary, the machine gun fired with a more cheerful sound.
During the tank battle, the Japanese army used armored vehicles to clear out the grenadiers of the Northwestern Army and used them as cannon fodder.
It was a helpless move.
After all, the number of Type 97 tanks is limited, and a certain amount of strength must be sacrificed to contain the attention of these grenadiers.
Only in this way can the Type 97 tanks gain valuable counterattack time.
As for the Northwest Army, due to the strength of the Tomahawk and Sword assault guns, the Snow Leopard is not used as cannon fodder.
Instead, it relies on its high ax maneuverability and flexibility that exceeds that of the Tomahawk.
The more abundant ammunition serves as a replacement gun in the later stages of the battlefield.
The pursuit character.
For these Japanese troops who have lost enough firepower, the killing efficiency of the Snow Leopard armored vehicle is even more than that of the Tomahawk.
In a sense, there is never the best weapon on the battlefield, only the most suitable weapon for starting a war.
"Although only a small number of our troops escaped the encirclement of the main force of the China Army, the Iwasaki tank unit suffered heavy losses, with only 7 Type 97 tanks and one Type 95 light tank escaping back.
But the empire's armored forces also suffered heavy losses.
Extraordinarily bravely, with the fearless fighting cooperation of the grenadiers, they destroyed 13 Chinese Saber assault guns and 9 Tomahawk tanks. 21 armored vehicles and 3 anti-tank guns, killing at least 1,600 enemy soldiers.
If it were not for a new type of ground attack aircraft that the enemy had newly put into combat, it would have destroyed a large number of our army's Type 95 tanks in a very short period of time. , armored vehicles, and caused a lot of damage to the grenadiers, the Yabei Hisashi Brigade is fully capable of supporting the main reinforcements of our detachment.”
"The China Army's ground attack aircraft is equipped with 20 cannons and at least hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
Relying on its absolute advantage in speed and armor-breaking capabilities, when our army's light tanks and armored vehicles encounter the enemy's attack aircraft, At that time, it was simply a nightmare.
Here, the humble officer had to make a strong protest against the aviation corps.
If they had not performed so well in this battle, the Iwasaki tank unit would never have suffered such a heavy loss, and neither would Hisashi Yabe.
His entire team was crushed."
Lying about military information is not a unique skill of some Chinese generals.
Captain Yoshijima's detachment was almost wiped out when he received the message from Yabei Hisashi's battalion.
Only a handful of remnants were lucky enough to be spared.
When the Type 7 tank escaped back.
The Yoshijima detachment leader and staff officer, who felt as if they were struck by lightning on the spot, came up with this move as soon as they put it together.
The loss of the tank troops and the annihilation of the Yabetsu Brigade are facts that cannot be concealed.
The Japanese army suffered heavy losses in this battle, directly losing more than 20 tanks of various types.
The armored vehicle that escaped was also full of bullet holes and needed to be overhauled before returning.
In fact, the armored vehicles were almost completely wiped out.
And Yabe Hisashi, the eager and rash captain, died directly on the battlefield.
Based on his understanding of the Northwest Army, Yabe Hisashi's survival rate was almost negligible.
These are established facts.
Let alone a detachment leader, even the division commander cannot suppress this matter.
However, some things cannot be faked, but the enemy's losses can be fabricated.
On the one hand, the Northwest Army rarely announces its losses to the outside world.
It was also impossible for Prince Deyan to obtain confirmation from the Northwest Army.

According to Yoshijima's estimate, the Yabetsu Brigade, as well as the Iwasaki tank unit, had as many as two squadrons of accompanying infantry and one squadron of grenadiers.
In this battle, more than 1,500 Japanese soldiers were directly killed, and the few Type 97 tanks that escaped could not hold many people.
The remaining soldiers who fled back one after another only numbered thirty or fifty in total.
Based on his many years of experience on the battlefield, coupled with Iwasaki's dictation, the losses of the Northwest Army were at most six to seven hundred people.
Perhaps this battle was not too eye-catching during the entire Central Plains Campaign.
Whether it was the aviation in the air, the infantry on the ground, or the armor, the scale was not very prominent.
But judging from the ratio of casualties exchanged between the two sides, this battle can be regarded as a new peak for the Northwest Army.
Of course, it is impossible for Prince Deyan to know these inside stories.
The troops on Iwasaki Hakuto's side were almost reduced to nothing.
If you want to avoid being blamed for defeat and incompetence, you must cooperate with him to continue this good show.
Therefore, on the one hand, the losses of the Northwest Army were exaggerated, and on the other hand, the responsibility for the heavy losses was shifted to the aviation force, which was incompetent in combat.
At least Captain Yoshijima wasn't completely lying.
These half-truths are often the most difficult for people to see through.
Moreover, even at the base camp in Tokyo, Prince Deyan can hear about the reputation that the Northwest Flying Dragon has gained over the past few years.
Although Westerners simply do not want to believe that yellow people can produce excellent fighters that can rival Europe's most advanced BF109 and the British Spitfire due to the arrogance of white people.
However, after the Japanese military leaders who suffered deeply from the Feilong also experienced their initial doubts, countless bloody facts have come to regard the Feilong as an existence alongside the top Western fighters.
After all, even in Nomenkan, facing the Soviet Union's input of i15 and i16 fighters.
There was also the battle with Soviet volunteer pilots in the Battle of Wuhan.
It was not like the Japanese army had not learned the skills of the Soviet Air Force.
In the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet Union did not gain much advantage from the confrontation with the German army, and it was not a secret among the small circles of the great powers.
"Why haven't I heard that the China Army has a new aircraft in service?"
Prince Deyan asked with a frown.
As for Feilong's name, no one at the top of the Japanese army knew about it.
However, this new type of aircraft can easily shoot down Japanese Type 95 tanks and armored vehicles.
Prince Deyan inspected all the way from the Kwantung Army, but he didn't hear much about it.
"It's absolutely true that the speed of this kind of aircraft is not slow.
Several times the bombers of the aviation force tried to drop bombs on the Northwest China Army on the ground to support the operations of the Yabei Hisu Brigade, but they were all driven away by the other side's aircraft.
This fact has been learned from the aviation force.
It can also be confirmed that the shape of this camouflage-colored aircraft is smaller than that of the main aircraft of the China Army.
The Feilong is slightly larger and is loaded with a large number of 20-machine shells.
It can not only defeat all infantry defenses of our army except Type 97 tanks, but also harass our bombers for bombing.
In actual combat, it has the capability of integrating air and land. , even more hateful than the Zephyr dive bombers of the Northwest China Army."
Iwasaki Hakuto, who narrowly escaped death this time, was still frightened and gritted his teeth.
"It seems that the empire will also increase its investment in aircraft.
This unfavorable situation must be reversed."
This is not the first time that Prince Deyan has heard about the huge threat posed by the Northwest Air Force.
Enjoyed the huge benefits brought by the air force operations, especially the air force which was extremely critical in the operations of the Central Army of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and his family.
However, due to the ineffective operation of the Northwest Air Force, the Central Plains Campaign has been delayed to this day.
In addition to occupying some land, However, it has not yet achieved a critical breakthrough.
It has neither annihilated the main force of the Central Plains Field Corps nor captured the transportation hub of Zhengzhou.
"Even if the empire is equipped with such aircraft of the China Army, it can threaten the dive bombers of the Northwest Army to a certain extent and cause a huge blow to the ground forces of the Northwest Army, but it will not be able to have the same critical effect as the opponent.
The empire's armored forces now use the Type 97 tanks as their main combat force, and the Type 95 armored vehicles as well as a large number of armored vehicles to suppress the opponent's grenadiers and other accompanying infantry.
But armored forces fight.
The armor thickness of the Tomahawks and Sword Assault Cannons equipped by the Northwest Army has reached an extremely alarming level.
It is almost impossible for the anti-war artillery to advance within three hundred meters of the opponent.

Therefore, even if the Empire.
Even if they are equipped with such aircraft, they cannot achieve the same effect as the China Army.
The best way is to produce excellent fighters that can suppress the opponent's flying dragons as soon as possible, and then use fighter planes to shoot down the hateful attack aircraft of the China Army.
It can save a lot of resources for the empire.”
The captain of the Yoshijima detachment has been able to reach his current position because of his extremely unique vision.
It can be seen at a glance that the aircraft that is popular among the Northwest Army may not be suitable for the Japanese Army.
No matter how much more auxiliary aircraft are developed, it will put great pressure on Japan, which is resource-poor.
"It seems that if you want to conquer China, you must conquer the Northwest Army of China.
If you want to conquer the Northwest Army of China, you must defeat their air force.
Both the land and sea sides of the empire must put aside their prejudices and face this small but brave enemy in the northwest together."
Listen.
After completing the analysis by Captain Yoshijima and several nearby staff officers, Prince Deyan came to this conclusion
