What Xiao Siming wants is for Kawamura Dong to go to reinforcements!

After the ambush was over, Xiao Siming left the guard battalion and the engineer battalion to clean up the battlefield, put the firecrackers collected from Puyang County into the tin bucket and lit them, crackling non-stop, creating the illusion that there was still a fierce battle, and then ordered the tanks of the armored battalion to be in front, armored vehicles and cars to be behind, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and artillery regiments to follow closely behind the armored battalion and convoy, and quickly march north to meet the Japanese rearguard troops still in Majiaqiao.

Because he knew that the Japanese army had a long-trained armored squadron, the rapid-fire artillery company that was originally attached to the guard battalion to guard Hucun also urgently got into the car and marched north with the main force.

At this time, the northern countryside is full of crops once a year, and after harvesting the wheat, they are waiting to plant winter wheat again. The Great Plains is empty, and the tanks of the armored battalion can be lined up horizontally on the roads and fields, driving at full speed and rolling north.

The armored vehicles and 150 cars, all with their headlights and motors roaring, followed the ruts that the road and tanks had crushed over the fields, and moved at full speed.

The infantry artillery battalion, anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, and heavy machine gun battalion of the artillery regiment, as well as the infantry guns, heavy machine guns, and grenadiers of the main regiments, were all mounted on the cars, with the machine guns mounted on the front of the cars, the infantry guns and grenadier barrels mounted in the carriages, and the muzzles and muzzles of the machine guns in the black holes were all pointed to the north.

The mountain artillery, field artillery, and anti-aircraft guns of the artillery regiment that had just become spectators during the ambush war were now re-mounted on the artillery carts, and the drivers drove the artillery wagons and dragged the cannons, and the whips sounded crisply, and the pack horses ran fast.

That's it, Zhao Xiuchuan, the head of the artillery regiment, Li Hubao, the political commissar, Liu Li, and Zhao Fufu, the deputy commanders of the regiment, shouted while running on horseback to hurry up, hurry, hurry up, and don't let others even eat the bones and meat, so give us some leftovers!

The cadres of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments led the soldiers to run forward, and all of them were running, running, running!

Don't talk about others, Xiao Siming stepped on the night jade lion horse, with the reins of the horse in one hand and the sniper rifle in the other, shouting at the top of his voice as he ran: "Run, catch up, don't let the little devil escape!" ”

Not only Xiao Siming, but also Wang Lushui, Hu Qingyun, and Zheng Xiuchuan, all galloped on horseback, shouting loudly on the war horses, all of them were hurrying up, hurrying up, hurry up, don't let the little devil jump!

The units used the rubber-tyred carts of the newly captured Japanese troops, unloaded the supplies on the carts, put on the pack horses of the Japanese army, and squeezed into a rubber-tyred cart in one squad or even two squads, beat the horses as fast as they could, and galloped on the highway!

The wheels were rolling, the dust was flying, and the heroic advance detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army was advancing rapidly to the north!

Wonders appeared on the road: to the north, the Japanese armored squadron with the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade was rapidly advancing south; To the south, the rolling iron of the Eighth Route Army was advancing northward. The headlights of the north and south directions flickered in the night, and gradually, gradually, began to intertwine!

What Xiao Siming was most afraid of was that the Japanese rearguard troops who stayed in Majiaqiao retreated in a hurry after discovering that the main force was ambushed. It's night, in the vast plains, and if the Japanese army runs away with all their might, it will be difficult to catch up with them!

Little devil, kill one when you meet one! If they were allowed to escape from under their guns and guns, how could they be worthy of Xiao Siming's soul crossing?

It wasn't until he saw the flickering headlights from north to south on the night that Xiao Siming was relieved, and while galloping his horse, he shouted hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!

If it's not fast, the Japanese army may turn around and run away at any time!

The armored squadron of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade is a mixed squadron composed of 3 medium tanks, 6 Type 94 light tanks, and 6 rubber armored vehicles.

The Japanese army is an absolute regular army, and the troop establishment is very standardized, but some troops, such as the reserve infantry units at the level of the Japanese army and divisions and regiments, that is, the supplementary teams, no one can figure out how many troops they have except themselves. Even the experts who specialized in the study of the military history of the Japanese army in later generations only understood the general situation and could not say it clearly.

In terms of regular establishment, the Japanese army's independent mixed brigades, except for the earliest independent mixed brigade regiment, which was organized into a tank brigade, did not have any armored units. However, in actual combat, the independent mixed brigades of the Japanese army did have tanks and armored vehicles. It turned out that they were equipped with such a four-unlike armored mixed squadron.

The Japanese army's field divisions, including permanent divisions, ad hoc divisions, and public security divisions, and the armored units listed in the army, generally have a unified number. The difference is that the armored forces of each unit are of different sizes. Like the permanent divisions, they all have chariot brigades, while the security divisions are only chariot squadrons.

At this time, it was the period of the Japanese army's strategic offensive during the Anti-Japanese War, and all units were well equipped, and the independent mixed brigades and regiments were also organized into mixed armored squadrons.

What is particularly funny is the Japanese Type 94 light tank, which is very small, with a crew of only two people, a driver, a commander and machine gunner, and is equipped with a Type 92 heavy machine gun.

This kind of light tank, the Japanese army jokingly called it "bean chariot", which means that it is too small!

Behind the light tank, there was also a small trailer in tow, loaded with ammunition and the like.

Of course, the Japanese army's bean chariot is not exactly tofu scum, that thing is fast and mobile, and it is used to cover infantry attacks or reconnaissance and search, which is a sharp weapon!

At this time, the Japanese army's tactical thinking was still stuck in the First World War period, and it pursued the principle that the chariot covered the infantry and the infantry protected the chariot, wasting the mobility and assault power of the armored force in vain. After the German blitzkrieg attacked Poland, the Japanese army saw the power of the panzer group, and the tactical thinking would change accordingly.

The Eighth Route Army was moving rapidly to the north, and the Japanese army was rapidly reinforcing to the south, almost at the same time that the Eighth Route Army discovered the Japanese headlights, the Japanese army also discovered the headlights of the Eighth Route Army.

At that time, the commander of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade was still in contact with the North China Front Headquarters, the First Army Headquarters, and the troops on the left and right flanks.

By the time the headlights of the north and south directions met in the night, the distance between the two armies was already very close. Even if Dong Kawamura gives another order to retreat, it will be too late!

The command vehicle of the commander of the armored battalion, Yuan Gang, took the lead and rushed to the front of the armored battalion queue.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Yuan Gang only felt hot all over his body, and his blood was surging, and he ordered loudly with the car radio: "I am Yuan Gang, all of them, the first target is the Japanese tank, followed by armored vehicles and cars, concentrated artillery fire, two to one." Get ready for battle! ”

By the time the herald of the communication team of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade Regiment caught up with him on a three-wheeled motorcycle and conveyed the order of His Excellency the brigade commander to retreat, the distance between the two armies was less than 2,000 meters, and the soldiers of the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade who were following behind the armored squadron were already frightened.

This distance, for motor vehicles, is not called distance, too close!

There is no way, from Majiaqiao to the north of Hucun where the Eighth Route Army set up an ambush, the distance itself is too close, and it is only about 10 kilometers if it is full. As soon as the wheels of the car turned, it was soon there!

The captain of the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade now hates the brigade commander Kawamura Dong to death!

If it weren't for the audacity of Kawamura Dong, the Fourth Brigade would not have ended up like this. Especially just now, if Kawamura Dong adopts the suggestion of the captain of the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade and relies on Maqiao Village to hold on, even if he runs out of troops, he can at least hold out until dawn and wait for aviation reinforcements. Now that it is completely finished, the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade is facing an Eighth Route Army armed with tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles produced by the Japanese Empire.

It was too late to say anything, and the captain of the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade immediately made a decision and ordered the troops to disperse immediately, set up the infantry guns of the brigade artillery squad and the heavy machine guns of the machine gun squadron, and block the attack!

The quality of the junior officers of the Japanese army was very high, and the decision of the commander of the 14th Independent Infantry Brigade was very correct, and in this case, he could lead the troops to retreat only if he first repelled the first wave of attack of the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, they will be chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army, and there is only one way to die.

At this time, the armored squadron of the Japanese army had no time to turn around and retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and try to fight with the tanks of the Eighth Route Army and cover the infantry to block the attack!

It's over, it's over, 1000 meters, 900 meters, just when the Japanese tanks turned their turrets and were about to aim and open fire, the Eighth Route Army fired first!

If it is a one-on-one decisive battle, the tanks of the armored battalion of the Eighth Route Army are definitely not the opponents of the Japanese tanks, and the training gap is there! But this is not a one-on-one decisive battle, but the Eighth Route Army fights more and less and overachieves the outnumbered.

Yuan Gang, who rushed up, saw clearly through the narrow observation window that the Japanese army only had three Type 97 medium tanks that were exactly the same as their own tanks, and the rest were six light tanks and six armored vehicles without artillery.

Seeing this, Yuan Gang immediately knew who the main target was, and immediately commanded the tanks of the armored battalion to rush towards the three 97 medium tanks of the Japanese armored squadron, and took the lead in firing the artillery!

Tanks produced by the Japanese, armor-piercing shells produced by the Japanese, tanks used to attack the Japanese army, such spears and shields, a bit ridiculous!

Boom, boom, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army were the first to fire at a distance of 900 meters!

When the Eighth Route Army opened fire, the leader of the Japanese armored squadron still had a disdainful smile on his face, because he knew that the tanks on both sides were in motion, and firing artillery at such a distance was tantamount to wasting shells!

The disdainful smile of the Japanese squadron leader quickly solidified on his face.

The tanks of the Eighth Route Army pounced, and the muzzles of the guns were all pointed at the three medium tanks of the Japanese army, and the wolf pack tactics were implemented.

The main battle tanks of both sides were entangled.
