Ueno Kanichiro's eyes lit up when he heard this, although the Type 94 light tank was claimed to be a small bean tank, its own combat weight was only 3.2 tons, and the total combat weight was 3.45 tons.

This light tank is simply vulnerable to half of foreign tanks. But for the new regiment, which did not have tanks at this time, Kanichiro Ueno believed that it would at least cover the infantry for a surprise attack.

Once it was possible to rely on the Type 94 tank to tear through the position on the north bank of the river defended by the 1st Battalion, the 1st Battalion was driven down the tributary river of the Sanggan River to the south. For the 29th Infantry Brigade, the battle would be crucial.

Thinking of this, Kanichiro Ueno immediately paused and said: "With the assault cover of the three tanks of the light armored squad, I am confident that I will command the imperial army to tear apart the enemy's position on the north bank!" ”。

"Yo Xi!"

Tian Yuan Lixiong Dazuo said: "The failure of the second attack is not terrible, if you can easily take the enemy's position on the north bank, then Li Yunlong's troops are too vulnerable." Now that the other side is sticking to the north bank, using positional trenches to consume the infantry of the imperial army, this is to ruthlessly annihilate our vanguard momentum! Ueno-kun, the third attack, must deal with the enemy positions on the north bank. ”。

"Hay, Chief of Staff!"

Tian Yuan Li Xiong Dazuo immediately said: "I will not personally supervise the battle here, so as not to interfere with your command of the attack!" Ueno-kun, please! ”。

"Please rest assured, Chief of Staff! The third attack of the humble post will definitely take the enemy's position on the north bank and take advantage of the situation to kill the river! Kanichiro Ueno patted his chest and assured, but whether he can really take the blocking position defended by Zhang Dabiao's troops on the north shore is another story.

Tian Yuan Toshio nodded, and then returned to the headquarters of the 3rd Division.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao, who was holding the position on the north bank, saw that the retreating Japanese army was no longer attacking at this time. However, from the binoculars, it can be seen that the Japanese troops who attacked the second time only retreated a little, and the distance from the blocking position was not far.

This shows that the third attack of the Japanese army will soon begin.

"Battalion commander, look, what is that?" At this time, a staff officer of the first battalion standing beside Zhang Dabiao pointed to the left direction in front of him and said in a condensed voice.

When Zhang Dabiao heard this, he picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the left, and between a small dirt slope more than 200 meters away and another dirt slope, three tanks suddenly drove out from the flat junction in the middle.

"This is the devil's Type 94 tank, but it's light!"

Zhang Dabiao sighed for a moment, was surprised for a moment, and then continued: "The three devil 94 tanks actually have artillery, looking at the caliber, it should be a 37 mm caliber artillery!" It seems that the devil is going to use the tank as an assault to cover the infantry to attack the position of our battalion! ”。

"Battalion commander, this is troublesome. I didn't expect the 3rd Division of the Devil who was chasing after me to bring tanks! The staff officer of the first battalion said in a condensed voice.

"Humph!!"

Zhang Dabiao waved his hand and said without worry: "The Type 94 tank is just an ultra-light tank for the little devil, or it is more appropriate to be a foot combat vehicle!" The thickness of the armor of this Type 94 tank is only about six to eight millimeters, and the thickness of the armor is too thin. With our heavy machine guns at close range, we will be able to penetrate this small bean tank! Don't worry! In this way, now we have completed the time for the regimental commander to hold the position on the north bank, and order the brothers, to withdraw, and cross the river to the area on the south bank! ”。

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

When Kanichiro Ueno prepared three Japanese Type 94 tanks as a killer weapon to guide the infantry to assault and concentrate his forces again to attack the blocking position of the 1st Battalion, there were devil soldiers who were observing the position of the 1st Battalion at close range and at any time hurriedly reported to Kanichiro Ueno that the position on the north bank defended by the 1st Battalion had suddenly been abandoned. A large number of 1st battalion fighters had already retreated to the south bank through the only river bridge.

Since the river bridge is also five or six meters wide, the length of the river bridge is only more than thirty meters. Therefore, all and part of the soldiers of the first battalion defending on the north bank of the river were temporarily assigned to the fourth battalion under the command of Zhang Dabiao, and some of the soldiers quickly withdrew to the south bank through the river bridge, and the four battalions would defend the positions on the south bank.

Kanichiro Ueno got the report, and hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at the defensive positions of the 1st battalion. I saw that there were not many people left in the position defended by the first battalion, and there was a dead silence on the position!

"Yaga! Cunning cunning! Kanichiro Ueno slammed his fist on the sack in front of him and roared.

At this time, the 18th Wing Commander Takeuchi Soki and the 34th Wing Captain Yokota Lu, who were already waiting for the attack order, looked at each other, but neither dared to speak.

After a few seconds of silence, the commander of the 18th Infantry Wing, Takeuchi Sokuki, stepped forward and whispered: "Brigade commander, what now?" ”。

Kanichiro Ueno thought about it, and now the new regiment suddenly abandoned the position on the north shore, which was a bit unexpected for him.

But at this time, the defensive position built by the new regiment on the north bank of the river had been abandoned by Zhang Dabiao, could it be that the first two fierce attacks made his army frightened?

But thinking that it was impossible, Kanichiro Ueno immediately said: "According to the plan, after the two of you concentrate your forces, seize the position on the north bank of the river, and send troops to tentatively attack the enemy position on the south bank through the river bridge!" ”。

"Hay! Brigade Commander! ”

Seeing such an order from Kanichiro Ueno, Takeuchi and Yokota Deer glanced at each other, and then didn't say anything but left after standing on the right path.

A few minutes later, all the 18th Infantry Wing and most of the 34th Infantry Wing, which were ready to be prepared, were divided into several units and attacked the position of the first battalion under the cover of the first three Japanese Type 94 tanks.

Under the cover of artillery fire under the command of Oda Masakazu, the Japanese army that cautiously attacked and occupied the position of the battalion that had already been abandoned by Zhang Dabiao.

Coming to the position abandoned by the first battalion, Yokota Deer and Takeuchi Tree both gasped. I saw that the trench dug by Zhang Dabiao led his troops was at least two meters deep, and the trench was crooked, not only connected by traffic trenches.

Moreover, facing the front, the various light and heavy machine gun fire points were hidden very high, and there was no way to see them without personally entering the depths of the position of the first battalion.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Suddenly, Yokota Deer and Takeuchi Planter, who were leading their troops into the defensive position of the first battalion, heard a sudden explosion on one side.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, watch out for the trick mines planted before the enemy army evacuates!" Takeuchi, who had returned to his senses, sent people to order the troops to pay attention to the mines planted on the positions of the new regiment before it withdrew from its positions, and these were all things that the new regiment often did.

With Takeuchi's order to plant trees, all the devils who occupied the position of the first battalion paid attention, but no explosions continued to occur.

It's just that after occupying the position of the first battalion and observing the defensive position dug by the first battalion, Yokota Deer and Takeuchi planted trees very deeply. The opponent's defensive deployment is very strong, and it is a unit of the Eighth Route Army that is good at defense, and the next battle is bound to be very difficult.
