In the face of the strong attack of the Chinese army on three sides, Lieutenant General Yawaki sent his strongest attacking force, the Ishimoto detachment, to the front. He wanted to use the power of the tank and combat vehicle to open an escape path for his division, and for this reason, he even gave up the car that had always been a valuable car in the division!

There are two ways in front of Yamawaki Masataka, one is to disobey the military order and retreat to Xinyang. The consequence of this is likely to be that Sun Lianzhong's tens of thousands of troops will chase after him all the way. If that happens, it's almost certain that the 3rd Division will be doomed. And he will either die on the battlefield, even if he survives, he will not escape the severe punishment of the warlord after he returns!

The second way was to follow the orders of the military headquarters, forcibly break through the defense line of the Second Army, rush to Zaoyang, and join the 13th and 39th Divisions. It's just as difficult, but it's a way out! As long as he dares to make a bloody investment and is not afraid of losses, the possibility of success is still very high! Even if he is really unlucky to come home and die in the end, it can be regarded as sacrificing his life for the country, at least the pension after death will not be less, and his family in China will be able to live well in the future.

With this mentality, after Ishimoto Sadazhi reported to him that the chariot wing had suffered a setback in the attack on the junction of the 30th Army and the 68th Army, Yamawaki Masataka gave an order to Major General Ishimoto almost without the slightest hesitation, so that the Ishimoto detachment would immediately change its route and attack again from the junction of the 30th and 500th armies!

We know that Gao Quan has already used the main force of the 500th Army to flank and attack the flank of the Third Division, and he did not put the defenders on the front at all. There were 30 troops on the front, and there were not many places where 500 troops were used.

Sun Lianzhong's unit, which was closest to the 500th Army, was the 31st Division of Qi Zibin. It's not that the division commander is not determined to resist Japan, this problem mainly lies with Sun Lianzhong. When Commander Sun first divided the defense areas of various troops, he did not take the 500 Army seriously. The order given to Gao Quan was only responsible for the defense around the southern mountainous area, and did not specify a specific area.

As a result, as soon as the devil chariot came here, both sides thought that this should be the area defended by the other party, although they both sent troops to help, but they were here to help, not to fight the main force!

Several of the main brigades of the 500 Army have gone to flank the devils, and even Liu Qi's supplementary 1st Brigade has also gone to carry out interspersed operations, and now the 500 Army's side is responsible for defending the edge of the mountainous area, which is Zhao Ziming and his supplementary 2nd Brigade. Ninety percent of the recruits in the Second Brigade are recruits, and these recruits are all on the battlefield for the first time.

Zhao Ziming saw that the devil's advance route was quite far from the side of the mountain, at least eight hundred meters away from the area where he was. Brigade Commander Zhao hesitated, is that there being defended by the 30th Army? If he rashly rushed over with his troops, could he stop the devil, not to mention, if it was the defense area of the 30th Army, would he be suspected of fighting across the region and crossing the border?

It was precisely because of this hesitation that by the time Zhao Ziming remembered to send someone to contact the commander over there, the devil's chariot had already rumbled over!

It's the same with Qi Zibin. The soldiers of the 31st Division found that no one from the 500th Army came to stop the devils, and immediately reported it to Qi Zibin. When the division commander rushed up with people, the vanguard of the devil chariot brigade had already rushed over! He can only launch a flank attack on the devil now!

Qi Zibin is in the north, Zhao Ziming is in the south, if it is under normal circumstances, these two troops can almost intercept the devil. It's just that now the head of the Ishimoto detachment has understood the situation of the division after receiving the order from General Yamawaki. Rushing out and running to Zaoyang is the only way out for the 3rd Division, and it can't rush out! The tank brigade is now one with the 3rd Division, and the division is finished, and he can't run!

Major General Ishimoto was ruthless and gave his chariot driver a death order that even if he died on the battlefield, he couldn't stop advancing! Under the persecution of General Ishimoto, the devil's chariot and tank exerted an unprecedented combat ability, driving forward one by one, the machine guns on the chariot did not stop strafing, and the cannon on the tank fired a few dozen meters, and fired a cannon, which was very arrogant.

This kind of tortoise shell covered with iron ran up, and the soldiers of our army could not help it. The gun rang out, the grenade was thrown over, and there was nothing wrong with it!

Do you want to go over and blow it up with a bag of explosives? Several of the devil's chariots gathered in a heap, covering each other, and there were no dead ends at all! The fighters who rushed up and tried to blow up the tank, one died one in the past, and ten dead five pairs went up!

Qi Zibin saw that it couldn't be done, so he urgently transferred two battle defense guns, and boomed the two cannons down, but overturned the two devil chariots. Before the soldiers had time to cheer, the tanks in the back pushed the chariots in the middle of the road in front of them into the ditch like bulldozers, and the chariots behind them lined up and walked in the same way!

Devil, this is not a truck, it is not an armored car, it is a tank! There is a cannon on the tank! As soon as the anti-aircraft guns fired two rounds, the devil's tank began to fire back! More than a dozen tanks surrounded by devils fired artillery together, and when the shells came down, not only the two battle defense guns of the 31st Division were blown away, but even a small half of the defensive positions next to them were destroyed!

Before the chariot on the devil's side was finished, the infantry behind came up! Hordes of infantry, following the chariot horde, ran for their lives. This is the Devil Engineer Wing, and it is also a branch of the Ishimoto Detachment. Since everyone is a unit, we must take care of what should be taken care of. The vehicle slows down to cover the passage of the engineer wing through this dangerous area.

As soon as the speed of the chariot wing slowed down, the infantry wing of the 3rd Division, which was not too far behind, followed. If you can run behind the tank, these people are of course willing to run two steps fast to keep up! In this way, from this gap that was accidentally opened, the devils of the Third Division rushed out in an endless stream.

Zhao Ziming saw that the devils were lining up and he passed right under his nose, and the 31st Division over there seemed to be no way to stop these devils! Brigade Commander Zhao quit at that time!

The supplementary second brigade didn't fight at the beginning, it was not because they were afraid of devils, they didn't want to lose their manners and be misunderstood by friendly forces. Now that the friendly army has started to fight with the devil, how can he watch from the sidelines? If you don't fight the devil, it's not Zhao Ziming's character!

"Artillery company, hit me!" There are too few veterans, and there are not many people who can **, and a dignified brigade of seven or eight thousand people is equipped with an artillery company, and in this artillery company, in addition to two mortars, there are some grenadiers! There's no way, it's not that Gao Quan doesn't give it, it's that there are really not so many people here who can make it!

The artillery company started here, and Zhao Ziming also assigned his troops. Seven or eight thousand people, they must not rush up all at once, then it is not the troops fighting, but the bandits who have gone down the mountain to block the road and rob it.
