From 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., the Japanese armored forces failed to break through even the first line of defense of the Zhang Lei Assault Regiment, but the cumulative number of tanks and ironclad vehicles destroyed was very staggering, with 15 tanks and more than 20 ironclad vehicles, and countless infantry following the armored vehicles died.

It is extremely difficult for artillery to destroy tanks, but ironclad vehicles cannot withstand blows, and the little devil infantry is even more unbearable. Two artillery regiments are continuing to strike! There were also four sets of the most advanced rocket artillery at the time, one cluster rocket could destroy half a football field of ironclad vehicles, and if the tank was hit head-on, it would be destroyed. The firepower of the Einsatzgruppen is more than that of an artillery regiment, and the lethality is unmatched.

That regiment was Tang Jian's elite regiment, and when Tang Jian told them that Zhang Lei was beside them, the whole regiment was deeply encouraged, and under the personal command of the regiment commander, a company of daredevils held explosives bags and crawled towards the Japanese tanks in the rain of bullets.

Japanese tanks and ironclad vehicles were still being destroyed one by one.

The commander of the 13th Army, Shigeru Sawada, the commander of the Yoshida Shoichi Brigade, the commander of the armored brigade and the commander of the Imperial Allied Army, Wen Baoliang, the commander of the special high school and the first section of the special high school, were all stunned.

In total, the two armored brigades had sixty-five tracked vehicles and fifteen wheeled vehicles, which were the main force of an armored wing. The entire armored brigade is also nothing more than two wings. Theoretically, it is possible to destroy a ** army. However, in front of one of Zhang Lei's infantry regiments, it had lost nearly half of its armored vehicles without even breaking through the first line of defense.

The point is that the losses continue! What can happen to that regiment? Is it worth it?

Sawada Shigeru was stunned, he didn't know what to do.

The commander of the armored brigade looked at Sawada Shigeru and whispered: "You can't attack anymore, if you continue to fight like this, not a single tank will be able to drive back." The fuel itself is insufficient, and it can't last until the night. Once the fuel runs out, the armored vehicles will all lie on the road and be blown up by Zhang Lei one by one. ”

Sawada Shigeru sighed heavily and said, "How did Zhang Lei become so powerful? ”

The commander of the Yoshida Shoichi Brigade whispered: "Withdraw!" It's important to preserve your strength. ”

Sawada Shigeru slammed the table hard and yelled, "Withdraw!" ”

The retreat was not easy to retreat, and when the Japanese armored vehicles retreated, ten more tanks were destroyed.

In the evening, under the protection of the special operations company and the special operations team, Zhang Lei entered the position of the advance regiment.

Master Tang Jian and Master Du Xuanyu accompanied.

Zhang Lei warmly shook hands with the head of the regiment, patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Good job!" ”

Zhang Lei came to the death squad, and all the death squad members stood solemnly and saluted Zhang Lei, and Zhang Lei returned the salute.

Zhang Lei walked over, shook hands with the team members one by one, and hugged them one by one.

Zhang Lei will not be annoyed by this action, he has not left anyone behind.

The gunsmoke on the daredevils stained Zhang Lei's brand-new general uniform, and Zhang Lei's face and hands were also stained black.

The officers and men were moved to tears when they saw Zhang Lei, and thanked God for giving them a good military commander.

Zhang Lei climbed on a big rock and said loudly: "Warriors, I have never been far away from you, and I am on the battlefield when you are fighting bravely to kill the enemy." Because of your bravery and good fighting, I, Zhang Lei, did not personally carry the explosives bag to blow up the tank. Don't think I'm telling you a lie, I can tell you in no uncertain terms that on more than 10 occasions I have personally blown up a tank with a bag of explosives and a gunboat with a bag of explosives. The little devil is just a paper tiger, if you are afraid of him, he will eat you. If you are not afraid of him and fight bravely, the little devil will be afraid and will run away in disgrace. The number of armored vehicles used by the Japanese invaders this time is extremely rare on the domestic battlefield, but has the little devil achieved his goal? Nope! Attacking my ** other troops with armored troops of this scale, the situation will definitely be different, but you have defeated them, you are the pride of the nation, and the pride of my Zhang Lei. I am extremely proud to have you and at the same time I am very confident. I firmly believe that as long as we work together and fight bravely, we will definitely be able to defeat the little devils, and we will definitely be able to drive the little devils into the Pacific Ocean to feed the king. ”

Zhang Lei said to Division Commander Tang Jian: "Tomorrow, let the regiment send someone to the military headquarters to receive the bonus, and I will not be willing to spend the ocean that the third theater will reward me, but will use it to reward one of the daredevils with one hundred oceans." ”

Zhang Lei jumped off the boulder, and Division Commander Tang Jian climbed on the stone, and said with tears in his eyes: "The army commander said just now that he will use the Third War Zone to reward his personal oceans with one hundred oceans for one of our daredevils." ”

Division Commander Tang Jian suddenly raised his right arm and shouted: "Long live the commander!" ”

Everyone raised their arms and shouted, "Long live the commander!" ”

Zhang Lei could only shake his head and sigh, he couldn't stop them from shouting like this.

In the evening operational command room, Zhang Lei presided over a meeting of cadres at and above the regimental level.

Zhang Lei said: "Although we have won a comprehensive victory in this battle, we must also reflect on our shortcomings. First of all, I myself did not tell you in time about the experience of blocking the Xiaojijiang Brigade. In addition to anti-tank mines and trenches, firewood is also an excellent way to stop the advance of Japanese armored vehicles. If a tall wall of firewood had been piled up in front of the position and a fire had been lit, the tanks would not have dared to drive blindly past. Second, our artillery is too weak in its ability to strike at moving targets, so it is necessary to work out ways to combat moving targets and intensify their practice. Thirdly, the question of coordination between artillery and infantry needs to be studied by divisions and regiments. I'm not pouring cold water on everyone, of course the results are huge, because we have created miracles, but I don't want to talk about the results, I don't want to talk about the losses, I just want to sum up the lessons and lessons, the reason is that we don't fight a battle today, we will fight the same battle in the future, and the scale is very likely to be larger. The purpose of today's summary is to fight the next battle. ”

The meeting ended late at night, and Zhang Lei went back to his room to rest.

In Shengzhou, Shigeru Sawada also presided over the meeting, which was held late.

Zhang Lei summed up the lessons learned, and Sawada Shigeru also summed up the lessons learned.

Sawada Shigeru said: "There are three major problems in this battle with Zhang Lei, one is the underestimation of Zhang Lei's firepower. The artillery of the two regiments, plus the rockets of the special operation team, has far exceeded the firepower level of a ** army, and the firepower of the imperial army has been equal, or even exceeded by a lot. Second, there are serious problems in the coordination of armored forces and infantry, where is the infantry when the tank attacks the enemy's forward position? Tanks are not protected by infantry, so the enemy can easily blow up the tank with an explosive bag. Because the tank has a defective view and cannot see the enemy on the side. Third, Zhang Lei seemed to know the plan of our army well, and his artillery began to strike as soon as our tank drove past. What's going on? Could it be that Zhang Lei is an immortal? Can he accurately predict the movements of our troops? ”

After the meeting, Sawada Shigeru called Nanzao Yunzi to his office, Sawada Shigeru invited Nanzao Yunzi to sit on the sofa, and after making a cup of tea for Nanzao Yunzi, he looked into Nanzao Yunzi's eyes and whispered: "I was almost killed by Zhang Lei, you should know, right?" ”

Nanzao Yunzi nodded and said, "I know." ”

Sawada Shigeru sighed and said: "Zhang Lei is too powerful, the transfer of the headquarters is top secret, a notice will be issued the next day, and he will leave immediately the next day, if Zhang Lei knew the news the next day, it would be too late to lay mines in the river, he must have laid mines long ago." ”

Nanzao Yunzi said: "This shows that Zhang Lei knows you too well, and he accurately predicted that you will transfer the headquarters. ”

Shigeru Sawada said: "You have already had contact with Zhang Lei twice, what do you think Zhang Lei's weaknesses are?" How can I defeat him? ”

Nanzao Yunzi said: "I am inducing him to be independent and let him break away from **." ”

Sawada Shigeru shook his head and said, "Don't dream like this, Zhang Lei is not that kind of person." ”

Nanzao Yunzi whispered, "What instructions do you have?" ”

Shigeru Sawada whispered, "Give up the illusion and kill him!" ”
