Chapter 296: Less Wins More
"Boom!"
To the left of the Small Japanese Tank Group, a moving Tiger tank overturned a Small Japanese Type 97 medium tank with a single shot.
The 1st Brigade of Combat Vehicles is equipped with a small number of Type 97 medium tanks, which weigh only a dozen tons and have a main gun caliber of 45 mm.
Even the Type 97 medium tank has only a small part of the equipment in the 1st Tank Brigade, and the main tank of the 1st Tank Brigade is the Type 92 Douding tank.
After overturning a Type 97 medium tank with one shot, dozens of Tiger tanks of the Second Battalion opened fire one after another, and one by one small Japanese tanks and one small Japanese armored vehicle were destroyed.
The small Japanese mobile wing, more than 3,000 people, led by more than 200 tracked armored vehicles and dozens of wheeled armored vehicles, also joined the battle group.
On the surface, the three battalions of the tank regiment were already heavily surrounded, and the finished product was zigzag, in three battle areas, and the battle was extremely fierce, with the rumbling of artillery and the strafing of machine guns.
Little Japan's motorized infantry wing, three machine gun squadrons, was equipped with a large number of large-caliber heavy machine guns, some of which were specially designed to deal with tanks, using alloy armor-piercing bullets, and these large-caliber machine gun bullets made the soldiers' Tiger tanks clange.
However, the little devils soon found that their machine guns were ineffective against these tanks of the Chinese army, and basically did not work. In fact, the fighters of the tank regiment firmly had the upper hand, and the entire battlefield was completely under the control of the fighters.
"Boom!"
A Tiger tank took out a small Japanese armored car with a single shot. The armored car was firing at the Tiger tank not far away, and several fighters in the Tiger tank were so annoyed that they turned the muzzle of the gun to make a shot. Destroy this little Japanese armored car directly.
In this vast area, a radius of several kilometers is full of chariots, and the battle is fierce.
Seeing that their attacks did not seem to have much effect, several little devil officers of the motorized infantry wing immediately organized death squads, some of whom carried explosive packs or anti-tank grenades and had strips of white cloth tied to their foreheads. Shirtless, screaming, he launched an attack on the fighters' tanks.
"Boom!"
There was a violent explosion. A little devil carrying an explosive bag exploded next to a Tiger tank, and the shirtless little devil was blown to the point that there was nothing left, and the Tiger tank also stopped. The body was bloodstained. There's even a few pieces of minced meat.
Several fighters in the tank were dizzy from the explosion, and the fighters were really uncomfortable with such a violent explosion.
A little devil, holding an anti-tank grenade, approached a Tiger tank, only a dozen meters away from this tank, and the little devil threw out the grenade in his hand.
"Boom!"
The grenade exploded, and the resulting shrapnel hit the tank. Clanging, sparks. Compared to the explosives pack just now. The power of this grenade seems to be much smaller, and the fighters inside the tank are only a shock, and this Tiger tank is basically fine.
"Use the machine gun on the tank to prevent the imps from approaching, quick!"
Seeing that so many daredevils came up, facing their tanks as both explosives packs and grenades, many commanders shouted.
On some Tiger tanks, the hatch on the top of the tank was opened, and a soldier with a machine gun on the top of the tank began to strike hard at the personnel of the little devils, especially the little devils near the tank.
Blood flashed, and the little devils fell in large numbers under the blow of dense machine-gun bullets.
The Tiger tank, which was blown up by the explosive bag just now, stopped in place for a while, and after the fighters in the tank came to their senses, they also began to strike hard at the little devils nearby.
The machine gun on the top of the tank spewed angry flames, and the soldier who was shooting with the machine gun held down the fire button, and the machine gun bullets were dense as if they didn't want money, and the long bullet chain jumped happily, and a large number of empty bullet shells kept jumping out quickly.
A little devil who was holding an anti-tank grenade was smashed by the dense bullets and fell heavily to the ground, the grenade in his hand was obviously pulled and smoked, and two or three seconds later, the grenade exploded.
Several little devils in the vicinity were affected and hit by flying shrapnel, covered in blood, and killed alive.
In addition to the machine guns fired from the top of the tank, the thick muzzle of this Tiger tank was also aimed at the tanks and armored vehicles of the nearby imps, and in a short time, two armored vehicles and one tank of the imps were destroyed.
As the minutes passed, the guns and cannons on the battlefield were incessant, the wreckage of tanks and armored vehicles on the ground gradually increased, and the corpses of the little devils on the ground gradually increased.
The gunner of a King Tiger tank fired a shot at a little devil Type 97 medium tank more than 100 meters away from him, and the first shot hit the target.
The gunner said silently in his heart, the seventh. From the beginning of the battle to the present, this gunner has destroyed a total of seven tanks of Little Japan, two Type 97 medium tanks, and five light tanks.
In the distance, a small Japanese armored car, the driver of the King Tiger tank drove towards the armored car, and the gunner on the tank aimed at the armored car.
On the armored car, several little devils were holding machine guns and shooting at a Tiger tank in the distance, but they didn't see the King Tiger tank driving over. Aiming at the target, the gunner of this King Tiger tank opened fire, a high-explosive shell.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the small armored car was suddenly destroyed, and there was smoke, and several little devils in the car were crooked, covered in blood, and fell on the car.
"The sixth armored car." The gunner thought silently. It's really cool to drive the King Tiger tank in battle, it's simply invincible, the gunner thought happily in his heart.
In the distance, there seemed to be several armored vehicles, and it seemed that there were quite a few little devils, among whom there were also officers of the little devils. The gunner was overjoyed to find an important target.
It was the command vehicle of the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Tank, several tracked armored vehicles, and several Little Devil officers, including the commander of the Little Devil Major General Brigade, Hiratazhang, at this time, Hiratazhang was almost vomiting blood in his heart, holding a telescope and looking around, the ground was full of the wreckage of his own tank.
"Your Excellency, it's not good, you see a Chinese tank over there has spotted us and is heading towards us." A devil Shaozuo pointed to a King Tiger tank three or four hundred meters away, and shouted in horror.
Hirata Zhang took the binoculars and looked towards this King Tiger tank, and when he saw the mighty figure of the King Tiger tank, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a big tank! However, Hirata Akira could only sigh, and his face immediately changed, because Hirata Akira saw that the thick muzzle of this tank was facing his side.
"Hurry up and retreat!"
Hirata Zhang shouted anxiously, put down his binoculars, carried the command knife, and hurriedly climbed up to an armored car next to him.
In the distance, the King Tiger tank spotted Hirata, seeing that it was still a devil major general, several fighters in the tank cheered, and the gunner was even more excited, aiming at Hirata's armored car through the tank sighting system.
Driving forward for a distance, seeing that the little devil's armored car had begun to start, the gunner did not hesitate, and a shot was fired from a distance of more than 200 meters, and this shot hit the target.
"Boom!"
There was a violent explosion, obviously a high-explosive bomb, and the terrifying explosion blew up the tank that Hirata Akira was riding, and the smoke was rising, and he was lying on the spot and could no longer move.
In the car, several little devils were covered in blood and were already dead, and the same was true for Hirata, who was dressed in a devil major general's uniform, bleeding from seven orifices and had been shocked to death.
The rest of the armored vehicles, when they saw that the armored car in which their brigade commander was riding was killed by this Chinese tank, were immediately frightened to death, increased their horsepower, and fled with all their might.
Looking at the fleeing armored vehicles, the gunner of this King Tiger tank aimed at one of them and fired a cannon, and a shell whistled out, accurately hitting the rear of one of the armored vehicles, blowing up the back half of the armored car so badly deformed that even several wheels were blown off.
Not far away, a Tiger tank also rushed over, and it also fired at one of the small Japanese armored vehicles, and the first shot directly removed the upper half of the armor.
As the battle progressed, the number of tanks and armored vehicles in small Japan gradually decreased, and at this time, the number of combat vehicles of the two warring sides was basically not much different, and there were 17 or 80 tanks in a tank regiment, and almost none of them were destroyed.
More than half of the small Japanese chariots had been destroyed by the soldiers, and at this time there were about 200 chariots left in the small Japanese, and their numerical superiority was gradually lost.
Sun Yougen, commander of the 1st Armored Division, led several senior commanders of the 1st Tank Regiment and dozens of fighters to watch the battle on the periphery of the battlefield in several armored command vehicles and several Tiger tanks.
"Commander of the first regiment, send a report to the military seat, so that the military seat is also happy."
"Yes!"
The commander of the 1st Tank Regiment happily ran to an armored command vehicle next to him and ordered his correspondent to send a report to Ye Feng.
So many tanks are fighting here, an unprecedented tank battle, the movement is very large, within a radius of several kilometers are the figures of tanks and armored vehicles of the warring sides, and the sound of guns and cannons can be faintly heard even if they are more than ten miles apart.
This area, more than 30 kilometers away from Xuzhou, is the activity area of the Eighth Route Army, and such a big movement will not cause the Eighth Route Army to think about it.
