The latter continued to rush forward, but they didn't go far, and they also lay down one after another, not moving. It's not that the Japanese soldiers are afraid of death, it's really that the steel plates on the tank are not powerful! The steel plate was pierced by a 12.7 mm bullet, and the Japanese crew was either killed or wounded.

At this time, the light mountain artillery of the Japanese army also began to **.

"Boom-" "Boom-" From time to time, a few shells hit the M2 tank. Some scattered shrapnel splashed onto the M2 tank and scattered again.

Xu Da's plane in the sky has long been prepared, how can the little devil's artillery be ferocious, shooting a few open ground blue sword 7 missiles at them, huge flames, and soaring pillars of smoke, like the god of justice who specializes in dealing with evil, is strongly suppressing the little devil's artillery.

The light mountain artillery of the little devil no longer dared to speak, the dead died, the dead died, there was no hope of living within a few hundred meters.

At this time, there were only a dozen tanks left in the Japanese army.

The captain of the Japanese army's chariot brigade, Miki, saw that this battle was really impossible to fight, his own light tanks were really horn dogs and rabbits, and they wanted guns without guns (machine guns were too powerful, and the artillery could not hit), and they didn't run, and the mobility was too poor, not to mention that these were more than 30 tanks, even if there were more than 30 more than 30 tanks, it would be given for nothing.

He could only give the order to retreat, hoping to escape the fate of destruction.

But it's not so easy to escape, the speed of your own tank is too low, you can't outrun the M2 tank car at all, and then the back butt is exposed, the armor behind the tank car is thinner, some are less than 12 mm, only 8 mm, with such a steel plate can not block 12.7 mm bullets.

Another point is that the turret of the bean chariot is completely operated by people, and it rotates too slowly, and when it is not easy to turn the turret around, and wants to fire the cannon towards the back, his tank has already been hit by dozens of bullets.

Soon, these dozen tanks were also reimbursed, and some of them were really hit by dozens of bullets in the back, densely packed, just like a sieve.

Captain Miki maintained his tenacious fighting spirit until his death, and he used a 7.7mm heavy machine gun to continuously fire hateful bullets at the M2 tank. However, these bullets hit the body of the M2 tank, and the bullets also fell one after another, and they did not have any effect at all.

Later, Captain Miki's machine gun finally stopped firing, and he had already been hit by several 12.7mm bullets, piercing several large holes in his body.

Fujita Shigeichi was always observing the battle with a telescope, and it was not until the last chariot lay down that Fujita Shigeichi slowly put down the telescope and said through gritted teeth: "Yaga! Chinese tanks are amazing! Great! ”

Chief of Staff Shio Shoichi also expressed his feelings: "China's tank cars are really fierce, and their performance is much better than ours. Captain Miki also did his best, and he fought to the last moment for our imperial army. ”

"So," Shigeichi Fujita asked Shio Shoichi, "what should we do next?" ”

Sixiong Zhengyi shook his head and said: "It's not easy to do, our air force seems to have lost air supremacy, and our artillery has also been suppressed by their air force." Our convoy is gone again, and our cavalry, I'm afraid, it will be difficult to confront the tanks of the Chinese army, we can only let the infantry block them, and the main force of our cavalry continues to advance. ”

"Yaga!" Angry, Shigeichi Fujita scolded, "Could it be that our great cavalry is running away like a mouse?" Do you want our infantry to stop the enemy's tanks? No—no—I won't allow a thorn in the back of my cavalry troops, and I'll let it go on like this. Fighting requires a kind of courage, and if this courage is lost, this war will really not be able to continue. ”

Fujita Shigeichi resolutely ordered a cavalry brigade of the 25th Wing to launch a brave assault on the tank battalion swimming forward, that is, if the Chinese tank troops could not be defeated, at least they should show the fearless momentum of the Japanese cavalry and scare the Chinese tank troops away.

A cavalry brigade of the 25th Cavalry Wing of the Japanese Army, a full force of nearly a thousand people, was assembling the whole team.

The captain of the cavalry group was none other than Fukuda Daisa, who grabbed the shiny saber in his hand, held it in front of his right chest, and shouted loudly: "The history of our cavalry is a glorious history, and it cannot be buried in our hands. In the face of China's tank troops, all units must obey orders and would rather die in battle than retreat. ”

More than 1,000 cavalrymen, in the formation of squadrons and squads, lined up in the open space on the plain, and together they held their well-made sabers on their right chests and made a majestic voice: "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor!" Long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Fukuda Daisa issued a combat order: "The first squadron is from the left flank, the second squadron is from the right flank, and the target is the infantry behind the enemy's tank battalion." As long as they attack their infantry, these tanks will definitely retreat. The 3rd and 4th squadrons, following us to attack the enemy's tanks, as soon as they reached the tanks, our cavalry threw grenades and blew up their tanks. Did you hear that?

All the Japanese officers and soldiers shouted: "I heard it, I heard it, and resolutely obeyed the orders of the commander." ”

Osa Fukuda pointed his saber towards the south, that is, the tank battalion that swam forward, and shouted loudly, "Start moving." ”

In accordance with Fukuda's order, the 1st and 2nd squadrons of the squadrons adopted a big detour tactic, taking advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry, and began to maneuver to the rear of the tank battalion. Fukuda led the 3rd and 4th squadrons and unhurriedly advanced towards the tank battalion that swam forward.

Besides, when Han Xing looked north from the top of the tank tower, more than a thousand cavalry of the little devil appeared, and the troops were divided into three ways. The two roads were detouring left and right, rushing towards their own rear, that is, the troops of Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan, and the other road, that is, there were five or six hundred cavalry, rushing towards their front.

Han Xing asked You Qianqian first: "Battalion Commander You, what do you want to do with the devil?" ”

"Needless to say," You Qianqian said: "The two wings of the devil's troops want to surround us, and after the encirclement is completed, the troops in front of the devil will begin to attack. ”

Han Xing nodded, and even You Qianqian could see that the devil's conspiracy was coming, and of course he knew it in his heart. Han Xing said: "The shock of the tank battalion just now is far away from Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan's troops. Now we will move closer to them, and the tank units must protect our infantry. ”

You Qian nodded and said, "Commander Han is right, you can't let the little ghost take advantage of our infantry. Let us go and join our infantry, so that we can play to the strengths of both of us. ”

Han Xing said: "Yes, our tank battalion retreated to the rear and joined forces with Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan. ”

The tank battalion retreated to the rear, moving closer to Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan's troops.

The tank battalion retreated, and Fukuda Dazao was relieved, and he immediately said to his officers and soldiers: "See, the Chinese tanks are beginning to flee, apparently, afraid of our cavalry. Our troops should stay away from them, and not let their shells and machine guns hurt them, we will scare them away. ”

The officers and soldiers next to Fukuda Dazuo were happy.

Fukuda's troops tried to keep a certain distance from the tank battalion swimming forward to avoid the fire from the tanks.

This scene was also seen by Shigeichi Fujita, and he said to Shichio Shoichi: "Do you see it, the Chinese tanks are fleeing backwards." I said, there is nothing remarkable about Chinese tanks, don't look at them temporarily getting some cheap and getting some benefits. But I believe that the benefits they have received, the advantages they have taken, will be repaid in a while, and they will be repaid in a while. ”

Shio Shoichi was very calm, and he said to Fujita Shikuichi: "This is not an escape, this is a retreat, and retreat is also a tactic, and the tanks of the Chinese army have not suffered a single loss." However, our troops were pulled apart, and Futian's troops were getting farther and farther away from us. ”

Shigeichi Fujita gritted his teeth and said, "According to the Chinese saying, only when you come out of your legs is you look at the mud on your legs." Now we'll find out. ”

The tank battalion swimming forward quickly joined Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan's troops, Han Xing jumped out of the tank car, and said to Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan: "Immediately build simple fortifications, and the tank battalion swimming forward will form a circle, in the outer circle, you are in the inner circle, I will see if the Japanese cavalry is powerful, or our tank vehicles and heavy machine guns are powerful." ”

Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan understood, and immediately asked the soldiers to immediately build a ring fortification. The fighters took out their sapper shovels one after another, and immediately got up in the dust. The deeper you dig a trench, the more effective your protection will be.

Han Xing commanded the tank battalion and formed a circle of 36 tank vehicles, with our infantry in the center. Xu Da in the air was also ready for a long time, and he was waiting for the most suitable time to launch an air attack on the Japanese army.

The three groups of enemies slowly converged, the closest being about 4,000 meters. Han Xing gave an order to Xu Dahe and You Qianqian at the same time: "Let's start, let's let the little devil taste what our bomb is like!" ”

Xu Da commanded the Y-8 bombers to first carry out an air attack on the cavalry of the little devils, and aerial bombs began to fall from the sky in a row.

The Japanese cavalry rode tall Anglo-Norman horses and Don hippos, which were so tall that they targeted five to six times the size of the infantry, and of course had more chance of being bombed. Pieces of war horses fell, and the cavalry on the horses were also killed.

Some of the cavalry were not killed, but the cavalry had no horses, what else could they expect, they could only walk. The cavalry on foot is not as strong as the average infantry.

Furthermore, horses are not human beings, and they are not as obedient as human beings. The huge roar of the plane, the whistling bombs, the shock wave that flew after the bomb exploded, and the huge smoke that rose up frightened these battle-hardened war horses.

They fled one after another, scurrying around with no regard for life or death.
