This group of little devils who invaded Pingyuan County had long been surrounded by the tank regiment of the Independent Brigade, and in order to arrange this large encirclement, the tank regiment was almost entirely dispatched.

Originally, the tank regiment lacked the opportunity to train in actual combat, this team of little devils actually took the initiative to send it to the door, the commander of the tank regiment, Sun Yougen, naturally couldn't ask for it, after asking Ye Feng, he immediately arranged the troops and surrounded the little devils.

However, even if the little devil finds that there are traces of the tank, it is irrelevant, the encirclement has been formed, the mobility of the tank regiment is already strong, and the terrain is unusually familiar, and when the encirclement is arranged, the little devil is unaware.

The tank regiment of the independent brigade has three tank battalions, one infantry battalion, one air defense battalion, in addition to a reconnaissance company, a supply and transportation company and other auxiliary units.

Each tank battalion has three tank companies, each of which is equipped with 13 American M4 tanks (Sherman tanks), one of which is a company commander's command vehicle.

The infantry battalion is equipped with a large number of American-style armored vehicles, and has three infantry companies under its jurisdiction, each of which is also 13 armored vehicles, each platoon is equipped with 4 vehicles, and a platoon commander command vehicle.

The anti-aircraft battalion is armed with vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons, which are mainly responsible for the anti-aircraft tasks of the entire tank regiment.

Sun Yougen, the commander of the tank regiment, had already discovered the team of little devils, who were all light infantry, and they were just used to train the soldiers.

"Pass my order, the little devils have all broken into our encirclement, everyone is ready to fight, surround me, and annihilate this group of little devils."

"Yes!"

The chief of staff of the tank regiment next to him rushed to convey Sun Yougen's orders to the battalions below, and suddenly, a large number of combat vehicles were launched.

Due to the continuous heavy losses of the independent brigade to the Japanese army in the previous months, Ye Feng gained a lot of meritorious points, and the tank regiment was also expanded from the previous 50 tanks to hundreds of combat vehicles, and it was still five battalions.

With Sun Yougen's order, a large number of tanks and armored vehicles were launched, and all around, there was the roar of tanks and armored car engines.

What is this sound?

Many little devils heard the faint voices around them, and their faces were puzzled, these little devils would definitely not think that they had been surrounded by groups.

"Yaga! It's a tank! ”

The little devil Nakasa Captain knew that this was a tank and immediately shouted.

"Your Excellency, Captain, we are already surrounded."

At this time, a little devil officer also stumbled over, with a panicked face, and shouted from afar.

"Yaga! Our intelligence services are all rice buckets. "The angry little devil captain hates his intelligence department to death, if he knows that there are so many tanks in Pingyuan County, he won't dare to kill the little devil.

This time, it was good, not only did they run over, but they also rushed forward so far that they were surrounded by Chinese tank troops.

"Tank !!"

"Tank Complex !!"

It didn't take long for many little devils, and even some little devil officers to shout in panic, and many little devils had already seen a large number of M4 tanks hideous figures, and the thick muzzles were facing these little devils.

The M4 medium tank was developed and manufactured by the United States during World War II. Commonly known as the Sherman, the Sherman tank was one of the most produced tanks in World War II, with nearly 50,000 units produced.

At the same time, the M4 medium tank was an excellent tank, with many advantages and state-of-the-art technology at the time.

First of all, the M4 Sherman was the most reliable tank of World War II, and its power system was a few points less durable than that of Soviet tanks, and even more so than German tanks. German Haw Par tanks need to be overhauled every 1,000 kilometres, and the tanks have to be shipped back to the factory for overhaul. The Sherman tank was enough for only the most basic field maintenance. Reliable performance and very few breakdowns made the attendance rate of American tanks much higher than that of German tanks.

The Sherman Tank also possessed several of the world's leading skills at the time. First of all, the turret rotation device was the fastest in World War II, taking less than 10 seconds to rotate a week, which allowed Sherman to react quickly and shoot quickly to destroy his opponent in close tank combat.

Secondly, Sherman was also one of the few tanks in World War II to be equipped with an artillery vertical stabilizer, which was able to accurately aim and fire at the target while on the move. The Sherman's 500 hp gasoline engine was also one of the finest tank engines of World War II, giving the Sherman a top speed of 47 kilometers per hour. All of these advantages are useful for mobile warfare.

Such an excellent tank, against the little devil a light field infantry brigade, is completely overkill, however, the purpose of this tank regiment is only for training, and, in order to better achieve the training effect, all five battalions were dispatched, and the regiment surrounded the little devils.

The first battalion of tanks was the most showy, and it drove directly from the front of the little devils, and dozens of M4 tanks, murderous and mighty, rushed directly over with the undulating terrain.

"Baga, how can the Chinese army have so many tanks!" Captain Nakasa, the devil, shouted unwillingly.

Some little devils, seeing so many tanks coming towards them, immediately took their Type 38 rifles and fired at the tanks, and some machine gunners even began to strafe the tanks.

If these little devils are not the elite of the Japanese army, if they are ordinary people, watching so many tanks coming, I am afraid that their feet will be scared and weak.

However, no matter how good the little devil shoots, for the M4 tank, it is basically no different from scratching an itch.

Soon, the tank group of the first battalion was close, and behind the little devils, the tank group of the second battalion appeared, and the little devils soon found that on their sides, there were also a lot of tanks and armored vehicles.

Completely surrounded! This is what most of the little devils think at this time.

"Boom!"

A moving M4 tank, facing the crowd of little devils in front of it, this is a high-explosive bomb, and with the sound of explosions, the little devils were blown away several people.

"Boom!"

Another cannon rang out, and another tank fired at a crooked machine gun that was shooting at itself in the distance, blowing up the crooked machine gun that was firing, leaving a large crater on the ground.

As the two tanks opened fire, the rest of the tanks also began to shoot at the little devils one after another, and one shell after another exploded in the little devils.

In addition to these tanks, the armored vehicles that came from both sides also began to shoot, and the heavy machine guns on the vehicles were strafing the crowd of little devils.

It was the air defense machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the air defense battalion, which were all changed to flat fire at this time, shooting horizontally at the crowd of little devils, and many little devils were directly beaten to pieces.

The little devil squadron leader has never encountered such a situation, today's situation is really terrifying, in just a few minutes, there are many corpses of little devils on the ground, as well as some stumps and broken arms.

Even as a Japanese lieutenant, the little devil captain's face was already pale, and he felt a burst of weakness in his heart.

The whole battlefield was carried out in a complete slaughter, a one-sided slaughter.

Most of the soldiers of the tank regiment are engaged in actual combat for the first time, and they are still a little uncomfortable at first, especially when they see the miserable corpse of the little devil, some soldiers are even a little sick to their stomachs, but the soldiers gradually adapt to it and gradually play the level of their usual training.

Three large tank battalions, one anti-aircraft battalion, one mechanized infantry battalion, one five battalions, and nearly two hundred combat vehicles, slaughtered the little devils, and the number of the little devils quickly decreased.

Seeing that his soldiers were suffering heavy casualties, the captain of the little devil brigade couldn't help but be completely desperate, and he didn't even have the mood to send a report to his superiors, but at this time, it was impossible to send a report to the outside, and the little devil's communication soldiers were killed, and the radio stations were blown up.

"Boom!!"

A tank found this Japanese lieutenant, the gunner of this tank was overjoyed, and immediately turned the turret and aimed at the Japanese lieutenant is a cannon, this devil captain was directly blown into minced meat, and the command knife in his hand was also seriously deformed and flew away.

Seeing that their captain was killed, many little devils gave up shooting one after another, but turned around and prepared to escape.

However, the little devil has been completely surrounded, how can he run out of the city, and even if he can run out of the city, he will not be able to run out of the pursuit of tanks and armored vehicles.

In less than an hour, the battle ended.

A field infantry brigade of the Japanese army, more than 1,000 people, was completely annihilated by the tank regiment, from the captain of the devil brigade to the ordinary little devil, and no one escaped the net.

****

Shannan County.

After receiving a report from Sun Yougen, the commander of the tank regiment, that a little devil had invaded Pingyuan County, Ye Feng felt slightly strange, but Ye Feng still ordered to resolutely annihilate this little devil army.

Not long after receiving the telegram from the tank, Ye Feng received several more telegrams, and a light infantry Japanese army also appeared in the northwest of Shannan County, the number of which was about one field infantry brigade.

In addition to the northwest direction, a Japanese army was also found in the northeast of Shannan County, which was also light infantry and an infantry brigade in size.

Finding three Japanese troops in a row, Ye Feng thought to himself, what's the matter, these little devils are running towards their base one after another, are they trying to besiege themselves.

Finding that the enemy situation was a bit strange, Ye Feng immediately began to dispatch troops and arrange troops.

Ye Feng didn't know what to do, the little devil infantry that attacked him was far more than just these three, but there were a total of seven such Japanese troops, each of which was the size of a field infantry brigade, but these three troops had been discovered and exposed by the soldiers, and the remaining four troops were still advancing in the mountains and forests, and they had not yet been exposed, and they were coming towards the independent brigade.
