As night fell, a full moon hung high in the sky.

On the vast plain, dozens of helicopters lined up in mid-air, and on the ground were thirty Tiger tanks, all with their lights turned on, slowly moving forward.

Behind the helicopters and tanks, there were countless infantry, and the whole division of the women's division moved in the direction of Hejian.

Thirty miles is not a distance at all for a mechanized army, and at eight o'clock the women's division has advanced twenty miles, and only the last ten miles are left between the rivers.

But strangely, they did not encounter the expected enemy troops along the way, and the enemy who attacked the common people's village was completely gone.

In fact, they only carried out a massacre of the villages around Niutou Town, and the villages behind were basically safe, although there were not many people left behind in the village, and there were only some old and weak women and children, but they all said that the devils had not come before evening, and they also showed hostility and defense towards the women's division.

The whole of North China has been occupied by the island army for several years, since Okamura Ningji came to power, the policy of Huairou has been vigorously implemented, the common people have become accustomed to their rule, as long as there is no war to disturb them, they are already very satisfied, therefore, their rejection of the island army is not as strong as imagined, on the contrary, in their subjective consciousness, it is more to blame, blame the national army for disrupting their peaceful life again, and burning the war to their homeland.

What the common people yearn for is only a peaceful and stable life, the rise and fall of the country, the national complex is a little far away for them, the idea of "whoever is an official will pay food" has been deeply rooted after the Qing army entered the customs, and the poison of three hundred years can not be removed in a short time.

Even if the people didn't want to see them, Wang Ke and Wang Lijuan were still very excited, in their opinion, it was their thunderous attack that saved more comrades, and the army crushed the enemy and fled.

But Leng Rushuang did not think so, and even began to feel a little restless, and the more he advanced, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he was only a few miles away from the enemy's front line, but he did not encounter any enemy resistance along the way, and he did not even find an anti-tank trench or a mine.

"Stop moving forward and retreat immediately!" Smelling the crisis, Leng Rushuang decisively gave an order, and ignored Wang Ke's questioning, and ordered the tanks and helicopters to be cut off, and the infantry to step up their retreat.

Unfortunately, it seemed that it was too late, and a few minutes later, three signal flares suddenly appeared in the sky, and then a dull roar of machinery was heard in the east, and the entire ground was visibly shaken.

"It's a cluster of tanks, defense, immediately prepare for defense!" Cold as frost roared hoarsely.

At this time, it is too late to retreat, and the enemy's tanks will immediately form a situation of defeat, and they can only do their best to block the enemy's first attack before making plans.

……

On the edge of a small forest more than ten miles north of the battlefield, Sachiko Araki looked at the three red flares rising in the sky, and a wicked smile appeared on her face.

With a "bang", Sachiko Araki pulled out the command knife of the Heavenly Locust Imperial Gift, drew a bright color forward, and roared with a hideous face: "Attack!" ”

At the sound of an order, countless black shadows rushed out of the woods, with the sound of horses' hooves like a storm, and hundreds of horses marched forward like thunder in the moonlight.

It was followed by armored vehicle units and black-pressed infantry.

Although the cavalry has gradually disappeared from the battlefield, the island army still retains the cavalry formation when the Sakura Division is formed.

And the reason why the island army will retain the cavalry establishment of the Sakura Division is entirely for one person - Michiko Akiyama.

Michiko Akiyama is the granddaughter of the famous general Akiyama Yoshiko, who is known as the "father of cavalry" in the island army, she formed the first women's riding team in the island country, and won the jackpot in the 1936 German Olympic Games, and set up a "women's riding club" in the island country, with more than 1,000 members, all young aristocratic women, the club not only teaches riding, but also swordsmanship and fighting, which is quite influential in the island country.

The Akiyama Cavalry Wing of the Sakura Division was formed on the basis of this club, and sent such a unit composed of aristocratic girls to the battlefield, which caused a sensation in the island country for a while, and the number of women who signed up for the army increased exponentially, and the island army also stepped up the formation of the second and third women's divisions.

Yoshiko Akiyama was a major contributor to the Japanese army's victory from the so-called "greatest crisis of the Russo-Japanese War". He once sent cavalry deep behind enemy lines, burned grain and grass, and cut off communications, and the famous "traversing 300 miles behind enemy lines" is his troops.

The name "Akiyama" coupled with the legendary experience of Sachiko Araki made the island army full of expectations for this unit from the beginning.

……

In an instant, the flames of war had been ignited here, and more than 100 tanks of the island army rushed towards the women's division in a linear swing, and then the overwhelming shells rained down.

The Tiger tank's 88-millimeter cannon was not willing to be lonely, and it also rumbled and began to spit out tongues of fire, dozens of helicopter gunships also began to frantically pour missiles and missiles to the front, and the infantry began to step up the construction of trenches and individual bunkers.

Although the enemy was menacing, the soldiers of the women's division did not panic, and everything entered a state of defense and counterattack in an orderly manner.

And in a short time, the enemy's attack was contained, and thirty Tiger tanks were active in the front line like moving pillboxes, rushing left and right, and one after another enemy tanks were destroyed under 88-mm artillery fire, and the advantage of heavy armor of heavy tanks was immediately manifested.

Just when Leng Rushuang thought that they could block the enemy's fierce first blow, and the troops could then smoothly enter the retreat stage, the rear suddenly burst into gunfire and killing shouts shook the sky.

A soldier stumbled and ran over to report that the enemy had suddenly struck out from both flanks in the rear, first with a rapid assault of cavalry, and then a dense group of troops in the rear, and the logistics channel had been cut off, and they were surrounded.

Cold as frost, he immediately felt that his eyes were black and his legs were weak, and a mechanized army had no logistics, and he couldn't believe how serious the consequences were.

"Quick, send a power to the main seat, request support, request tactical guidance, hurry!"

"The 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, and the 3rd Regiment, immediately retreat and reopen the logistics channel at all costs!"

"Order helicopters and tanks to conserve ammunition as much as possible and deal with the enemy."

"The remaining regiments immediately set up defensive bunkers on the spot and were ready to fight the enemy to the end."

Despite the dangers, Leng Rufrost quickly regained his composure and quickly adjusted his effective defensive deployment, hoping that everything was still in time.
