Ichiki said dejectedly, "Go back, go back-" He knew that his auxiliary fuel tank had already been thrown away, and if he ran any further, he was afraid that he would not be able to go back.

Xu Da saw that the enemy's shells were no longer fighting, and they were basically almost consumed, and they were no longer chasing, and it seemed that they were afraid that they would not be able to go back if they ran out of oil. The enemy's ability is over, and it's time for us, so Xu Da gave an order: "Quickly return to the front line of Suiyangdian and attack the enemy's medium tank." ”

Therefore, Xu Da's J-20 fighter formation turned around quickly, and then flew quickly towards Suiyangdian at a speed of 3,000 kilometers per hour. Just now, because of the entanglement of the Zero aircraft, it flew out for more than 200 kilometers. The distance of 200 kilometers is a blink of an eye for the J-20 fighter.

While flying, Xu Da touched the LCD screen and watched the battle situation in Suiyang Store.

The situation in Suiyangdian was not very good, although the Japanese artillery suffered heavy losses, the Japanese tanks were still braving the fierce fire of our troops and rushed towards the position. The Japanese tanks were unscrupulous and rampage, as if they were in a no-man's land, especially the Japanese Type 97 medium tanks, relying on 25 mm thick armor and 57 mm superior artillery, rushed to the front.

In front of the Chinese trenches, they repeatedly crushed the Chinese positions. The brothers of the 173rd Division came up with grenades and explosives bags, and those who went went fell down, and those who followed continued to go up. Rows and rows of fighters fell in front of the enemy's tanks, and bright red blood was sprinkled on this red earth.

The front line of Suiyangdian was already at the moment, and Xu Da's heart was also enraged, and his blood was boiling. He shouted: "Prepare for a missile attack, I will go down first, say hello to the brothers of the national army, don't hurt my own brothers." ”

Xu Da piloted the J-20 plane and flew around the enemy's tank first, one was to give the enemy armored vehicle a warning, and the other was to tell the brothers of the national army, I am coming, please get out of the way!

Sure enough, as soon as the brothers of the 173rd Division saw that it was the plane of the Southern Expeditionary Army that had flown back again, their hearts were overjoyed and their morale was greatly boosted, and they immediately dodged away from the scene to avoid the big brother of the Air Force from getting in the way.

The first batch of air-to-surface missiles, the Blue Arrow 7, flew down towards the Japanese medium tanks.

"Boom, boom, boom-" With four violent explosions, the four Type 97 medium tanks instantly disintegrated into steel and turned into four raging fires. In these four fires, the occupants inside were too late to run, and they were burned by the high temperature of several thousand degrees, and the fat on their bodies was also burned.

Immediately, the violent explosion and burning caused a secondary explosion of shells in the car, which was even more beautiful, and the turret flew into the sky at once, and the tank was reduced to fragments and splashed in all directions. The corpses of the tank crew were also gone, flying everywhere with the fragments of the tank.

Immediately afterwards, four more Blue Arrow 7 air-to-surface missiles flew down, and four more medium tanks were hit.

Xu Da's J-20 fighter consumed all the missiles on his body and immediately flew back to Nanyang Airport to load. Since they had this bloody lesson, they immediately consulted Commander Sun Qi after they returned, and later installed a 30*165mm GSh-301 single-barreled rotary aviation cannon with 150 rounds of ammunition.

Han Xing on the battlefield was in the headquarters of the 173rd Division at this time, and he said to Zhang Zuogan, the chief of operations beside him: "Don't you know that the tank battalion swimming forward has arrived?" ”

Because the infantry of the Southern Expeditionary Army can take a helicopter from the front line of Miyang to the front line of Suiyangdian, and the artillery has its own index car, and it can also be hung on a helicopter, so it is not difficult to come. And the tank battalions that swam forward could not do it, because each tank was too heavy, almost 15 tons, and the Z-8 helicopters could not hang them at all, so they could only be driven by people.

In this way, of course, some time is lost.

Zhang Zuogan hurriedly said to Han Xing: "They just arrived and are on standby. ”

Han Xing was very happy when he heard this, and said to Zhang Zuogan: "It's better to come early than to come at a good time, and it's the right time to ask them to go into battle immediately and attack the enemy's tank troops." ”

Zhang Zuogan agreed: "Yes!" "Immediately give you an order.

After receiving Han Xing's order, he immediately issued an order to the whole battalion: "Form a battle formation, face the Japanese tank troops, and attack—"

It turned out to be a marching formation, but it immediately quickly changed its formation into a wedge shock formation and launched an attack on the Japanese tank troops.

The original marching formation is also exquisite. The marching formation can be divided into single columns and double columns, with a single column of tanks every 50 meters, moving forward in order to guard against enemy air attacks.

A double-column column is a column that is lined up in addition to a single column when the road is quite wide, so that the tank troops can be concentrated as quickly as possible to fight, so as not to be too loose. When the tank battalion that swam forward was advancing, because it was in our rear, it was in a double column.

After the change of formation, the wedge impact formation still put the first company at the front. The front company is a horizontal formation of wedged battle formations, a long row in the middle, pointed, and diagonally behind, with tanks every 50 meters, so that 5 tanks also occupy a width of nearly 200 meters. The distance was widened a little, also in order to prepare for enemy artillery fire.

The second platoon of the first company formed a column behind one tank on the far left of a row, one tank every 50 meters, and was responsible for striking the enemy on the left.

The three platoons of the first company were lined up in columns behind one of the rightmost tanks in a row, one tank every 50 meters, and were responsible for striking at the enemy on the right.

The command vehicle of the company commander is lined up in the middle of the entire gap box, and there is also a tank ready for battle, and where there is a gap, it will be filled.

The first company was lined up, the second company was behind the first company, and then the third company. Swimming to the battalion command vehicle, he got into the gap box of the second company, and directed the battle by radio at any time.

The speed of the M2 tank is quite vigorous, with a maximum speed of 42 kilometers per hour.

Swim forward gave another order: "First crush the enemy's tank forces, and charge—"

A row of pointed ends of a row was inserted towards the Japanese tank units. There were exactly three tanks in front of the platoon, two tanks were Type 94 ultralight tanks, also known as "bean tanks", and one was the Japanese Type 97 medium tank.

The platoon commander quickly radioed an order to the remaining four tanks: "Quickly concentrate artillery fire on the enemy's medium tanks, and bombard them fiercely with armor-piercing shells." Heavy machine guns were used to hit the Japanese Type 94 tanks. ”

The three tanks on the opposite side also fired at the five tanks in a row with artillery shells. The 7.7 mm machine guns on the tank also fired heavily at the M2 tank. The Type 94 tank used a 37mm gun, and only the Type 97 tank used a 56mm gun.

"Boom-" "Boom-" The two sides engaged in a fierce artillery battle, and shells fell one after another around the tanks of both sides. Suddenly, the 56-mm gun on one of the Japanese tanks hit one of our M2 tanks, the thick armor was penetrated, and the tank stopped at once, and the crew inside was definitely either sacrificed or seriously injured.

Our two armor-piercing shells also pierced the Japanese medium tank, and it could not stand the attack of the armor-piercing shells, so it was knocked down, and soon, another armor-piercing bullet pierced it. It was hit three times in a row, and it couldn't stand it anymore, and the shells inside the tank were detonated, causing a big explosion.

With a "boom", the roof of the tank was blown into the sky, and the tank body was also scattered in all directions. Needless to say, these four crew members have already been broken into pieces.

The machine guns on the two Type 94 tanks of the Japanese army also "suddenly......clicked" and "clicked...... and fired frantically at the M2 tank, and the 7.7 mm bullets touched the steel plates on the M2 tank car, and the bullets fell one after another, and the power of their bullets could not penetrate the 25 mm armor on the M2 tank at all.

However, the 12.7 mm bullet on the M2 tank truck hit them differently, and the bullet penetrated the 12 mm steel plate at once, shot in, and smashed the steel plate of these bean chariots into a hornet's nest.

The bean chariot is so small, if a bullet is fired into it, there is a chance that the crew in the tank will be injured. These bullets are particularly ferocious, and when they hit the body, it is a big hole.

Soon, the two bean chariots on the opposite side of the row were also finished.

A row after a row continued to advance with the loss of one and the defeat of three. The second platoon on the left of the first platoon and the third platoon on the right of the platoon were also concentrating their fire on the enemy on both sides.

The tank battalion swimming forward quickly broke the tank formation of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army and went behind enemy lines. Ahead, there were enemy infantry trenches blocking the advance of the tanks.

Yu Qianqian was still quite wise, and he gave an order on the radio from the command vehicle: "Don't entangle with the Japanese infantry first, and then turn back and attack the enemy's tank troops." Changing formations, changing the rear team into the front team, and the front team into the rear team, they also use the wedge battle formation to continue to attack the enemy's tanks. ”

The enemy's tank forces, there are not many tanks left, especially the Type 97 tanks are even rarer. Xu Da's air force has already destroyed 20 of their medium tanks in two rounds of air raids, and Hou Dashan's artillery has bombed out more than 10 of their medium tanks.

In this case, there were not many medium tanks left in the Japanese army. In contrast, the Type 94 Bean tanks were even more miserable, they could not stand even a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, let alone a 37mm artillery attack.

The tank formation of the 13th Wing has long been out of order, and there are bombed-out Japanese tanks everywhere, a few here, a few there, like a morgue for tank cars. Even the tank vehicles that can still move are like a plate of scattered sand, scattered on the position just now, and if they want to concentrate and attack the tank battalion swimming forward, they are also weak and have already been rushed to pieces.
