At this time, the armored unit of the New Army commanded by Dai Anlan had been divided, and with the cooperation of the local guerrilla forces, it was crossing the two counties of Zanhuang and Ningjin, trying to cut off the connection between the Japanese puppet army in Shijiazhuang and the Japanese puppet army in Xingtai.

Koizumi swore that in his lifetime, he had never seen an armored cluster offensive of this scale. The invincible Imperial Army naturally also has armored forces, but the armored forces of the Imperial Army generally do not attack the opponent's defense line on such a large scale, because it would be too wasteful of fuel. The armored unit of the new army only divided a small number of partial divisions, and it took only two days to successfully cross the two counties of Zanhuang and Ningjin, and successfully cut off the road of the Xingtai Japanese puppet army to the north.

In these two days of combat effectiveness, the Japanese army used their armored forces to carry out a counterattack, and with the cooperation of fighters and artillery, the Japanese puppet army in Xingtai mobilized their only 7 tanks and the new army to fight. Of the seven tanks sent by the Japanese army in Xingtai, only three were medium tanks, and the other four were only light tanks that the New Army tankers jokingly called canned boxes, and the armor of this light tank could not even stop the fire of Browning's large-caliber heavy machine guns.

As a partial division, this armored unit of the new army only paid the price of scrapping one modified combat vehicle and the detached tracks of a German No. 10 tank, and successfully destroyed all seven tanks sent by the Japanese puppet army in Xingtai, and shot down four Japanese fighters in anti-aircraft fire. As a result, the armored units of the New Army began to show their fangs, and the steel battle arrays tore apart the enemy's defense line and everything, including the Japanese soldiers' will to fight.

When Zhuo Fei and Zhuo Yan rushed north to Zanhuang County, the armored division divided by Dai Anlan had repelled the crazy counterattack of the Japanese puppet army several times in a row, and Zhuo Fei's arrival provided the necessary ammunition supply for this armored force in a timely manner, and on the other hand, his arrival indicated that the Japanese artillery position that had been threatening this armored force was about to be devastated. The matching ammunition he exchanged from the system casually used a reason to prevaricate, and Zhuo Fei immediately took Zhuo Yan to infiltrate the Japanese puppet army's defense line, and the goal of the two of them was the Japanese artillery position.

The infiltration of the two people is relatively simple, although the Japanese puppet army seems to be impregnable in defending their own defenses, but for Zhuo Fei and the two who can skillfully use Japanese conversation, this kind of penetration is simply easy. Zhuo Fei, disguised as a Japanese soldier, drove a three-wheeled motorcycle, easily crossed the Japanese puppet army's defense line, and moved quickly to the rear of the Japanese army's position.

At the behest of Okamura Ningji, the Japanese puppet army in Xingtai did not use all their strength, and while continuously launching a counterattack against the Chinese army on the front line of Zanhuang and Ningjin, they also deliberately set aside troops to guard Xingtai. If this battle had been commanded by Zhuo Fei from the beginning, perhaps he would have hidden part of his forces earlier, waited for the Japanese puppet army in Xingtai to send troops, and then took advantage of the situation to attack Xingtai, which was empty. When Xingtai was attacked, the Japanese puppet army fighting on the front line of Zanhuang and Ningjin was bound to retreat to defend Xingtai, and this was the best time to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

It's a pity that Zhuo Fei went north too late, and the front line of Zanhuang and Ning Jin has already become a stalemate. Zhuo Fei's two-person dragnet search method quickly had an effect, and in the map system that Zhuo Fei had been open, the Japanese artillery position finally appeared. I don't know if it was because of the tragic experience of the Japanese artillery in the battle of Cishan, the artillery position of the Japanese puppet army in Xingtai was guarded, and there were actually two squadrons guarding their artillery positions.

With only two people on his own, it was absolutely impossible to successfully destroy the Japanese artillery positions under the tight guard of two Japanese squadrons. After carefully observing the terrain here, Zhuo Fei decided to use his heavy mortar as a means of attack this time, and the two retreated to a relatively safe position, Zhuo Fei transferred the 120mm heavy mortar from the space with him, and exchanged 30 incendiary bombs and 30 high-explosive bombs from the system.

"Stone, I didn't stop for a while, you just load the barrel with shells." Zhuo Fei stacked the incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs separately, and specially told Zhuo Yan to shoot the incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs at intervals when loading the shells. The first shot was a high-explosive shell, and the high-explosive shell with a screaming sound fell in an arc in the air, and exploded to the ground amid the terrified shouts of the Japanese artillerymen in the artillery position.

When most of the Japanese artillery were panicked and ready to take precautions, Zhuo Fei, who determined the landing point of the shell through the map system, was already quickly adjusting the muzzle. With the map system in his body, Zhuo Fei was like having a cheat that could be called an artifact, Zhuo Fei had just adjusted the mortar, and Zhuo Yan, who had been waiting a little impatiently, loaded a high-explosive bomb into the barrel.

"Tom", "Tom", "Tom", Zhuo Yan, who kept moving the shells, had sweat on his head, and Zhuo Fei and the two of them shot out all 60 heavy bombs in one go, and the Japanese artillery position that he locked with the map system was already a mess. The flames ignited by the incendiary bombs and the detonation of the ammunition in the artillery positions were mixed together to form columns of smoke that could not help but roll up, and some Japanese gunners who were quick to translate escaped by luck, turning back to look at the artillery positions that had already turned into a sea of fire, and everyone could not help but secretly congratulate themselves on their good fortune.

With a muffled sound of "bang", a Japanese gunner who was secretly glad for his good luck was hit by a thick large-caliber bullet, and his right arm, which was still holding a military cap, was directly torn off his body by the bullet, and the plasma splattered from the wound instantly soaked the soil on the right side of his body into a puddle of blood. "Ah, my arm, my arm." Seeing his right arm fall to his feet, the slightly sluggish Japanese artilleryman first looked left and right, until he was sure that the arm under his feet was his own, and then let out a heart-rending scream.

"Bang" Another Japanese artilleryman was shot, and his head that was directly hit by the bullet exploded with a pop, and it was naturally Zhuo Fei who had moved forward hundreds of meters away that hit him. The Japanese artillery position was terminated, but Zhuo Fei and the others did not want to let go of these Japanese gunners who were not killed, in Zhuo Fei's opinion, the Japanese gunners who were still alive were far more terrible than those cannons. As long as these Japanese artillery are alive, as long as the Japanese army continues to mobilize artillery from other places, these guys will still cause harm to the Chinese army.

As long as the dead Japanese are good Japanese, Zhuo Fei agrees with this statement very much, so he and Zhuo Yan naturally will not easily let go of these Japanese gunners who were not killed. The two Barrett sniper rifles fired alternately, and as Barrett's slightly muffled gunfire slowed down until it disappeared, the 20 or so Japanese gunners who were lucky enough not to be killed were all corpses. When the Japanese rescue team arrived here after hearing the news, they saw more than 20 fragmented corpses and an artillery position full of fireworks, and Zhuo Fei and the others had already left this place and went all the way to Hengshui.

To the east of Hengshui is Wuyi County, and there are two guerrilla forces in Wuyi County, one is the guerrilla force sent by the Ruili training camp in Hebei, and the other is the Wuyi County Brigade under the command of the Eighth Route Army. In order to defeat the secret airfield of the Japanese army in Hengshui, the two guerrilla forces decided to work together, but unfortunately, they were never able to search for the exact location of the Japanese airfield.

The armored units of the New Army on the front line of Zanhuang and Ningjin were frequently bombed by Japanese fighters, which confirmed that the information detected by the guerrilla forces in Wuyi County was not a false information, and Zhuo Fei went north to Hengshui for this secret airfield of the Japanese army. The ground equipment and combat effectiveness of the new army were already stronger than those of the Japanese puppet army in North China, but the new army lacked effective air defense force, and in the face of the unscrupulous bombing of Japanese fighters, even the thick-skinned German tanks could not exert their full combat strength.

If this problem cannot be solved, the new army's war in Hebei will be biased, and even after the Japanese army in North China mobilizes a large number of flying troops to join the war, the new army will be forced to retreat. If the New Army was forced to retreat from Hebei by the Japanese army, Chiang Kai-shek's hope of gaining international recognition would be frustrated.

I don't know how Chiang Kai-shek persuaded the CCP leadership, Zhuo Fei just knew that since he had promised Chiang Kai-shek, he would go all out to provide some convenience for the new army entering Hebei. Together with all the guerrilla forces in Hebei, Zhuo Fei's mission in the near future is to explore and destroy the Japanese airfields, artillery positions, oil depots and material assembly points in North China.

In fact, Zhuo Fei was not averse to such a mission, on the contrary, he thought that it was far more interesting to attack and disturb the enemy in the enemy-occupied area than to ask him to sit on the front line of Lashio, at least he would not feel idle. The journey from Ningjin County to Wuyi County was not all smooth sailing, even if Zhuo Fei and the two made the necessary disguises, they still exchanged fire with the Japanese puppet army several times along the way. Even Zhuo Yan was hit by a stray bullet, if it weren't for the fact that both of them were wearing body armor, maybe Zhuo Yan would have been sent to the hospital for treatment.
