A tank wing of the Japanese army, with a total strength of 1,315 people, a total of 73 tracked vehicles and 20 wheeled vehicles. The command of each combat vehicle wing is 90 people, including 2 light tanks, 1 medium tank.

The wing has 6 tank squadrons under its jurisdiction. Includes 3 squadrons of light tanks and 3 squadrons of medium tanks, 2 squadrons of artillery tanks, and a maintenance squadron.

The squadron of light combat vehicles is composed of 110 people and is 10 light tanks.

Squadrons of medium tanks, each with a strength of 145 people, including 2 light tanks, 10 medium tanks.

The squadron of artillery fighting vehicles is composed of 145 people, including 2 light tanks, 10 artillery fighting vehicles.

The rearmament squadron has a strength of 170 people, 3 heavy machine guns, 76 trucks. Unfortunately, due to the muddy roads, this rearmament squadron was far behind.

The medium tanks of the Japanese army were mainly equipped with Type 97 cavalry tanks and Type 95 light tanks. Both types of tanks have a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, 12 mm armor, a crew of 2 people, and are armed with a 37 mm rapid-fire gun, except that the Type 95 light tank is also armed with a 7.7 mm machine gun.

The Japanese army's light tanks were mainly Type 94 ultralight tanks. It also had armor thickness of 12 mm, was armed with only one 7.7 mm machine gun, and had a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.

Takeichiro Osaku proudly believed that with the concentration and use of such tanks and artillery fighting vehicles, the Chinese army would be invincible. So Ganji Jutaro also called Takeichiro Osa's armored wing to play as a striker and give him a chance to show his face.

When the majestic Takeichiro Armored Wing had just entered the mouth of the Sanlang Bridge Valley, he was suddenly taken aback, because he suddenly found that the Chinese army also had a tank unit quietly waiting for them.

This is the tank battalion that swims forward, and they are armed with M-2 tanks, a total of 50 of them. The original tank battalion was only 36 tanks, and Han Xing saw that the tanks were very powerful in plain warfare, so he bargained with Wall again, and the tank battalion was expanded from 36 tanks to 50 tanks.

First of all, Takeichiro found that the Chinese tanks were very large.

The M2 tanks were heavier and older than the Japanese medium and light tanks, weighing 11.6 tons, reaching a speed of 58 kilometers per hour, with a thickest armor of 25 mm, and were also armed with a 37 mm gun, but most importantly, they were also armed with two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns.

When he saw these tanks, the confident Takeichiro really seemed to be cold from his head to the back of his mouth by a basin of cold water, and he was cold all over.

Nani, why does the Chinese army have tanks, and it is such a big tank, I just don't know how the performance is. Takeichiro believes that the Yamato nation is an excellent nation, and they will challenge any difficulties, although our tanks are smaller, but we are not afraid of you.

So, he sent an order to the 1st Light Tank Squadron: "Attack the Chinese tanks and see how well they perform?" ”

A light tank squadron has an establishment of 110 personnel, and there are only 10 combat vehicles, and according to the calculation of 2 people per combat vehicle, there are also a large number of non-tank personnel. As for these personnel, they can only be regarded as infantry personnel, attacking with guns behind tank vehicles.

The light tanks began to attack, and they formed a long horizontal snake formation, rapidly advancing towards the Chinese tank troops, and wisps of black and cyan smoke came out from the gasoline engines from time to time due to the large throttle of refueling.

As soon as the Chinese tanks saw the Japanese light tanks rushing up, they quickly retreated, quickly passed through the horse roads, crossed the anti-tank trenches, and hid behind the anti-tank trenches.

When Takeichiro saw the Chinese tank retracted, he couldn't help but laugh happily: "I thought there was something great about the Chinese tank, it turned out that they were all characters who ran away when they saw us." Well, then, the whole company advances, and when it comes to the enemy's position, let them taste our artillery! ”

Takeichiro knew that a 37 mm gun could break through 40 mm of armor, and how thick the armor of the Chinese tanks could be, they would never resist the attack of a 37 mm gun. There are also two squadrons of artillery tanks, both with heavy artillery, and the Chinese tanks will definitely not take any advantage.

The entire Japanese armored wing was advancing towards the Chinese position, 8,000 meters, 7,000 meters, 6,000 meters, 5,000 meters, and when the armored troops were advancing, the shooting was not accurate, and only when they stopped, the shooting was assured. Nearly 100 armored and wheeled vehicles stirred up the dust that rushed to the sky, coupled with the infantry who did not get on the chariot behind, it was really a large piece of yellow pressure, which seemed to be unbeatable and majestic.

Suddenly, from the position of the Chinese army, countless small eagles flew in the sky, and the black oppression seemed to cover out a lot of the sun's rays. Immediately, countless howitzer shells fell, and a large area fell, only to explode to the ground with clusters of fire, gunpowder smoke filled, shrapnel flew horizontally, and a huge column of smoke rose into the sky, and the sky soon became dark.

The howitzer shells tore through the air, and the burning flames instantly consumed all the air, creating a vacuum and creating a large area of death.

The tanks were still thin in armor to resist the bombs flying everywhere, but the auxiliary attacking officers and soldiers behind couldn't stand it, and the merciless shrapnel beckoned to them, and they fell to the ground and died one by one. There were many more soldiers, tearing their collars, they were suffocating, struggling, and then dying of the burnt out of their tracheas and lack of oxygen.

Soon, the Japanese tank units also felt that something was wrong, medium tanks were better to say, light tanks were in a very dangerous situation, 105 mm howitzer shells, Japanese Type 94 75mm mountain guns, Soviet-made ZIS-3 76mm field shells smashed down.

The chassis of the Japanese bean chariot was light, and soon, one light tank was overturned, and another was overturned. As long as the chariot flips, there will be a lot of excitement to see. The shells and debris in the tank were immediately turned upside down, and the commander and driver were smashed and killed. What's even more terrifying is that the shells in the car hit the fuse, causing a big explosion, and the light tank was like a powder keg, which was blown to pieces in an instant.

Medium tanks were also hit by heavy shelling, and the 12-mm armor simply could not withstand the bombardment of heavy howitzer shells, and was immediately blown apart. There were many more medium tanks that were hit by shrapnel and hit several holes, the driver was killed, and the tank immediately became a dead turtle, lying there motionless.

Wu Ichiro knew that this was the time to get on the tank, and they were retreating, obviously luring their own chariot wing to take the bait. It was too late to say anything, and he was shouting loudly: "Retreat, retreat, the armored wing retreats-"

However, in the violent explosion of shells, the sound transmitted to the tanks through the communication equipment was so faint and as thin as a gossamer that many tanks hardly heard the order.

Takeichiro shouted loudly again: "Commander of the Ganji Shigetaro Division, request artillery support, request artillery support-"

He shouted for a while, and then suddenly thought that shouting was in vain, because the two artillery wings of the division did not follow at all, or were blocked behind by the quagmire road of the Zhina.

The heavy shelling lasted for 10 minutes. During these 10 minutes, Takeichiro and the entire chariot wing were in extreme pain, or they had never been so painful in their lives.

The shelling finally stopped, and when the smoke cleared for a while, Takeichiro had a chance to watch the battlefield. It doesn't matter if he looks at it, his heart is really cold.

In this round of artillery attack, more than 70 tracked combat vehicles were destroyed, and even 20 artillery combat vehicles were blown up by seven or eight, so it can be said that their own tank wing has lost more than a third.

If you look at the auxiliaries who follow behind the chariots, or the infantry of the chariot wing, it is even more miserable, nearly half of them can no longer get up. Even the people who got up, there were many people who were injured, and those who were not injured, and their faces were also blackened by the flames of war, which was not much different from the Lord of the Stove.

"Holy!" Takeichiro lamented loudly, "It's only been one round, why did the chariot wing fight like this." What's next? ”

At this time, an even more dangerous situation appeared, and the rumbling sound of a motor suddenly sounded on the enemy's position in front of him. Chinese tanks began to attack.

Takeichiro knew that with the current situation of his tank wing, he could no longer engage the tank units of the Chinese army. He had no choice but to continue to give the order to retreat: "Retreat, retreat, the chariot wing retreats—"

At this moment, the chariots that survived by luck heard it, and they all increased the throttle again, turned the corner, and retreated backwards.

In the tank battalion that swam forward, Han Xing was drilling in the command vehicle of the swim forward, and was issuing an order to all the tanks: "Form a battle formation, advance, and destroy the enemy." Heavy machine guns, hit hard-"

The tank battalion, which had crossed the road and swam forward, was regrouping into an assault formation and launched a brave assault on Takeichiro's chariot wing.

The so-called shock formation is a company as a unit, and the tank company is arranged in a wedge. The five tanks in the first platoon rushed in a wedge formation and were responsible for attacking the enemy on the front, the second platoon was lined up in a vertical formation, serving as the left flank on the far left of the platoon and was responsible for striking the enemy on the left, and the three platoons were lined up in a vertical formation and acting as the right flank on the far right of the platoon to attack the enemy on the right.

As for the chariot of the commander of a company, it is placed at the back of the middle of a row, that is, the center of the entire company, to direct the actions of the whole company.

These companies become a whole, creating a tactical advantage. They can arbitrarily disrupt the enemy's formation, always form a local advantage, and maneuver in battle.
