Explosions sounded, and two armor-piercing shells accurately hit the Japanese Type 94 tank and Type 91 armored vehicle.

Two Japanese Type 94 tanks and two Type 91 armored vehicles were destroyed, but nothing happened to the four No. 3 tanks of the vanguard of the 3rd Armored Battalion.

The 3rd Armored Battalion of the 3rd Armored Brigade has three armored companies, each of which is equipped with 14 tanks, four for each platoon and two for the company, while the battalion headquarters of the 3rd Armored Battalion is equipped with a command tank No. 3 and a mobile command platoon, which is equipped with two trucks and two armored vehicles, and the trucks are equipped with radios.

The 3rd Armored Battalion has 46 No. 3 tanks, two trucks, and two six-wheeled armored vehicles.

The 4th Armored Battalion is the same as the 3rd Armored Battalion, but the 3rd Armored Battalion is equipped with No. 4 tanks.

This time, Sun Weiguo formed the first armored battle group, and he transferred the third armored battalion (47 No. 3 tanks), the fourth armored battalion (47 No. 4 tanks), the mechanized anti-aircraft artillery battalion (15 anti-aircraft machine guns, 12 20mm anti-aircraft guns, and 12 37mm anti-aircraft guns), the armored artillery battalion (8 75mm infantry guns, 8 50mm anti-tank guns, five four-wheeled armored vehicles and five six-wheeled armored vehicles), armored assault gun battalion (50 Vickers tanks), and the first cavalry battalion (950 people, Equipped with Type 91 armored vehicles, 10 Type 92 armored vehicles each. ）

The 1st Armored Battle Group had more than 140 tanks, 24 antiaircraft guns, 15 antiaircraft machine guns, 16 artillery pieces, more than 800 cavalrymen, and 30 armored vehicles.

As skirmishes began to take place in the vanguard, Yin Jinshan immediately began to order the cavalry battalion to send small units of cavalry to search and reconnoitre, and at the same time he ordered the mechanized anti-aircraft artillery battalion to immediately set up positions to prevent the attack of the Japanese aviation units.

At this time, near Takaguchi Village, Kunomura Momoyo immediately ordered his troops to start to stop advancing, and he quickly sent a telegram through the radio to the 3rd Flying Regiment and the Takahashi detachment just behind the tank cluster, and Kunomura Momoyo asked for rapid reinforcements from aircraft and infantry.

After hearing the sound of artillery coming from the front, he knew that Sun Weiguo must have sent armored troops to attack, and Kunomura Momoyo, who had suffered losses on the armored troops several times, did not dare to take the enemy lightly.

At this time, the Japanese tank cluster was 38 Type 89 tanks and 22 Type 94 tanks of the 5th Tank Brigade, 38 Type 89 tanks and 20 Type 94 tanks of the 7th Tank Wing, 17 Type 94 tanks and 12 Type 91 armored vehicles of the 9th Independent Light Armored Fleet, and there was also an infantry brigade with cars in the tank cluster to follow the action, and two engineering squads also followed the troops.

The Japanese army had more than 130 tanks, 12 armored vehicles, more than 1,000 infantry, and more than 100 engineers.

In terms of the number of tanks, there is not much difference between China and Japan, but in terms of tank quality, the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks equipped by the new 1st Division are far superior to the Type 89 tanks and Type 94 tanks equipped by the Japanese army.

However, the Japanese army has the most crucial advantage, that is, the Japanese army completely controls air supremacy.

In order to enable the tank group to quickly advance to Nanchang, Okamura Ninji specially asked Yamada Otozo, commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, to give instructions to Yamada Otozo, and for this reason, Yamada Otozo specially handed over the command of Okamura Ninji directly to the command of the Third Flying Regiment of the Air Corps directly under the Central China Dispatch Army, and dozens of fighters and bombers of the Third Flying Regiment fully supported the combat of the tank group, and they were on call.

When Kunomura Momoyo began to make contact with the air force, twelve fighters quickly appeared near Takakaguchi, and the Japanese fighters immediately began to patrol.

Yin Jinshan's first armored battle group has hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles and more than a dozen artillery pieces, and it is not easy for these troops to hide from the Japanese infantry, let alone high-altitude aircraft, and the Japanese fighters soon discovered Yin Jinshan's tank troops.

Twelve fighters immediately began to reduce altitude, and with machine guns and machine guns, they began to strafe the ground tanks.

It is a well-known fact that the strongest part of the tank's armor is the front, and the weakest part is the lower and upper parts.

Twelve Japanese fighters fired at low altitudes, and two No. 3 tanks were pierced by gun-piercing shells on the spot, and the two No. 3 tanks were destroyed by Japanese fighters.

On the one hand, he ordered the 3rd Armored Battalion and the 4th Armored Battalion to advance in a wedge-shaped formation along the left and right sides, and on the other hand, he ordered the main force of the 1st Cavalry Battalion to quickly detour to Gaokou Village, and at the same time he ordered the antiaircraft artillery battalion to counterattack, while the armored assault artillery battalion and the armored artillery battalion were scattered and concealed to stand by.

The divisions immediately began to take action, and fifteen anti-aircraft machine guns were the first to start firing, and one by one armor-piercing bullets were quickly fired.

The Japanese fighters soon spotted the place, and a Japanese fighter lowered the gun and told the black hole of the plane's cannon to aim at an anti-aircraft machine gun.

Armor-piercing shells were fired, and the four fighters who controlled the anti-aircraft machine guns were beaten to pieces on the spot.

But just as the Japanese fighter was strafing at a low altitude, the 20mm anti-aircraft gun on the side began to fire.

A series of armor-piercing shells were fired, and the Japanese pilots continued to make evasive maneuvers, but one armor-piercing bullet still accurately hit the Japanese fighters.

"All of them!" 37mm anti-aircraft guns also began to fire, and the hit fighter began to encounter multi-angle fire.

All five armor-piercing shells hit the fighter, and immediately afterward, the fighter fell crookedly towards the ground.

Naturally, eleven other fighters were also hit by fire from the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, one of them was hit by the engine during liftoff, and the fighter that lost its engine also began to fall.

Two of the twelve Japanese fighters were destroyed, and the other ten were evacuated in disarray.

Yin Jinshan knew that the Japanese air force would definitely appear, and he knew that the only way to deal with the Japanese air force was to quickly melee with the Japanese armored troops, so that the Japanese air force had no way to bomb.

At half past three o'clock in the afternoon, the first armored battle group of the new 1st Division encountered a group of Japanese tanks near Gaokou Village, and the two sides immediately began to fight, and at the same time, dozens of Japanese fighters and bombers began to fly over Gaokou Village, and when the Japanese air force found that the Chinese and Japanese armored troops were fighting together, they began to march towards the rear of the Chinese armored troops, in a vain attempt to bomb the rear tanks.

"Boom, boom!"

Aerial bombs began to fall, huge explosions sounded, and some tanks behind began to be affected.

When encountering the bombing of Japanese planes, Yin Jinshan ordered the tank troops to speed up and engage in a melee with the Japanese tanks.
