"Nani?" Shigeharu Suematsu was taken aback when he heard this, and said with a frightened face: "What did you say? The cavalry wing was routed so quickly? ”

"Yes, General, the commander of the cavalry wing also died in the chaos!" Watanabe Tsunekawa nodded with a heavy expression: "Their firepower is too fierce, and the imperial cavalry is simply hitting a stone with an egg against their armored troops, and there is no power to fight back."

If they catch up, the consequences will be unimaginable! General, please take care, and lead the tank wing to the rear! ”

After saying that, Watanabe Tsunekawa got into his Type 95 tank and quickly turned around and rushed in the direction he was coming.

Shigeharu Suematsu was a little reluctant, and wanted to call him, but was persuaded by the chief of staff, Saburo Shita: "General, so far, we can only let the tank wing be broken, otherwise our entire division may be defeated by the enemy!"

For today's plan, let's quickly withdraw to Jiaxing! The sacrifice of the tank wing cannot be allowed to be in vain. ”

Although he was reluctant, but the matter had come to this point, the old devil Suematsu Shigeji had no choice but to sigh, turned around and got into the armored car, and ordered the troops to retreat to Jiaxing at full speed.

In order to protect the safety of Shigeharu Suematsu, Saburo Gata even ordered the devil soldiers who were driving to drive at the fastest speed, and gradually left behind the main wings on foot.

After saying that, after Watanabe Tsunekawa Osa returned to the team, he immediately ordered his tank wing to stop advancing, and all of them turned around and prepared to meet the pursuing force led by Xu Wen.

Because the status of the 114th Division was inferior to the 6th Division and other permanent divisions, although it also had a tank wing, it was equipped by the base camp in order to enhance the overall strength of the 10th Army.

It's just that this tank wing has only fifteen Type 95 tanks, fifteen Type 9 tanks, and twenty armored vehicles.

The overall strength is slightly inferior to that of the armored fighting vehicle wings of other divisions.

Although the strength of the tank armored forces of the independent brigade today is also much weaker than in the Battle of Suzhou.

However, the overall combat effectiveness was still not something that the Japanese tank wing, which had only 30 tanks and 20 tanks and was vulnerable to armored vehicles in the face of the tank guns and anti-aircraft machine gun fire of the independent brigade, could compete.

Almost as soon as Watanabe Tsunekawa commanded his troops were ready for battle, Xu Wen, Zhou Weiguo, and Chen Zhenglun led the tank armored units of the Independent Brigade to catch up.

The two sides met head-on on the road, because the devil's tank was prepared in advance, so after discovering the pursuers of the independent brigade, they immediately opened fire first.

Boom Boom! The artillery fire of 30 Japanese tanks hit head-on, and they fell in the tank group of the independent brigade, and a series of violent explosions occurred.

In the firelight, many tanks were directly hit by shells, but none of them were destroyed.

In particular, Xu Wen's Tiger and Zhou Weiguo's Leopard tank bore the brunt of more than a dozen shells one after another.

It's just that the 37-mm tank guns of the devils are too powerful to pose any substantial threat to the Tiger and Leopard tanks.

After the explosion, the Tiger tank, the Leopard tank, and the T34 tank were the first to be killed from the fire and smoke in a zigzag shape.

Targeting the Japanese tanks in front of him like a hungry wolf, Xu Wen yelled and ordered: "Kill these Oriental slaves for me!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Tiger tank, the Leopard tank, and the T34 opened fire one after another, and the tank body shook violently under the huge recoil, and a dazzling red light burst out from the mouth of the gun, and three high-explosive armor-piercing shells shot towards the Japanese tank on the opposite side with a piercing whistling sound.

Boom Boom! All three shells hit the target accurately, and the three Type 95 tanks at the front were easily pierced through the defensive armor, and then exploded and caught fire, falling apart.

The devil tank soldier inside was melted alive and died on the spot.

Subsequently, more than 30 other No. 4 tanks also rushed out of the devil's artillery fire one after another, and they followed with a salvo bombardment.

Boom Boom! Like meteors, the shells pierced the night sky and bombarded the devil tanks and armored vehicles.

The smallest caliber of the tank gun on the side of the independent brigade is also 75 mm, while the maximum caliber of the devil's tank gun is only 37 mm, and the defensive armor is not at the same level at all.

Therefore, although the Devil Tank then stubbornly continued to fire back, and fired a lot of shells at the tank group of the Independent Brigade.

However, although it hit the tanks of the independent brigade, it could not penetrate it, let alone make it incapacitated.

And the tank shells of the independent brigade, fighting devil tanks, one cannon at a time, without any discount, soon the thirty tanks under Watanabe Tsunekawa were lost, and even he himself was blown up by Xu Wen's Tiger tank, and there were no bones left.

As for the 20 armored vehicles, as the armored vehicles and anti-aircraft combat vehicles on the side of the independent brigade arrived and deployed, their defensive armor was severely damaged and demobilized by anti-aircraft machine gun fire alone.

At this time, Xu Wen commanded more than 30 tanks, including the Tiger, and aimed their guns at the devil's armored vehicles, and more than 30 tank guns roared one after another, and the fierce firepower suddenly destroyed the devil's armored vehicles that had been hit by the intensive machine gun fire of the independent brigade and were on the verge of collapse.

Watanabe Tsunekawa's headquarters was completely annihilated by the pursuing troops of the Independent Brigade! The battle lasted only thirty minutes.

At this time, the 114th Division was only able to withdraw into Jiaxing County only with the baggage wing of the rear team and the front team, the field hospital and other logistics units, and the other four main infantry wings and engineer wings were still on the way to retreat.

At this time, the infantry of the reserve regiment also caught up, and after Xu Wen asked them to quickly get on the car, he immediately commanded the troops to continue to chase forward.

Five minutes later, the Independent Brigade, under the command of Xu Wen, caught up with the rear guard of the 114th Division, the 102nd Infantry Wing.

The captain of this wing, Chiba Kotaro, saw that the ** squadron had broken through the interception of his own tank wing and chased him up.

In a hurry, he didn't care about asking the division headquarters for instructions, so he took the initiative to lead his subordinates to turn around and attack.

However, the independent brigade that pursued them was not the other ** that had been defeated by them before, so although Chiba Kotaro's division was heroic, it was of no avail.

As soon as the two sides met each other, Xu Wen couldn't help but order all tanks and armored vehicles to open fire with full firepower, and fiercely strafe and bombard the devils.

More than thirty tank guns, hundreds of general-purpose machine guns, and vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire.

The devil soldiers under Chiba Kotaro were blown up to the ground before they could fire, and they fell in pieces.

Under the cover of the fire of their own tanks and armored vehicles, the thousands of soldiers of the reserve regiment also quickly jumped out of their vehicles and quickly formed an attack group with their guns in hand.

Coordinate with your own tanks and armored vehicles, and charge forward while firing at the devils in front of you.
