"Yes!" Shen Xingye happily stood upright, and immediately took the order to leave.

About a few minutes later, a few miles away from where Zhang Xinghan and the others were lurking, there was a violent explosion and a dense burst of gunfire.

Hearing this, a large number of soldiers rushed along the railroad to the front, and several armed armored trains also sped up and roared forward.

He said that what he was most afraid of now was the destruction of the railway, so as soon as the guns rang out, he almost did not hesitate to dispatch a large number of troops to the firing site.

Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, Zhang Xinghan immediately jumped on top of an armored car, personally picked up a large-caliber machine gun, and gave the order to attack.

Thirty-eight tanks and armored vehicles were immediately activated and roared towards the railway line.

Hundreds of officers and men of the guard battalion followed closely.

When the distance was close to 1,000 meters, the tank guns opened fire one after another, and one after another high-explosive bombs flew towards the military train, which had stopped moving.

"Boom, boom, boom, ......boom" shells exploded one after another, and the dazzling flames appeared, and many devil artillery on the train were blown down.

Suddenly attacked, the attention of the guards on the train, especially those with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, was immediately attracted to it.

Quickly fired back with anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.

Dense and high-speed anti-aircraft machine gun shells and anti-aircraft shells suddenly rained down.

Fortunately, most of the bullets were held back by the strong armor of the No. 3 tank.

During this period, his anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were basically modified from 13.2mm large-caliber machine guns, and the so-called anti-aircraft guns were a large number of 20mm machine guns.

Other large-caliber Taisho 11-year 75mm anti-aircraft guns are extremely few in number, and their power is far inferior to that of German-style 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

It is not as good as the four-type 75mm anti-aircraft gun that I developed during World War II.

In fact, the backwardness and lack of air defense weapons in the army are also a normal phenomenon.

You must know that I have no opponents at all in East Asia at this time, and even in the entire Asian region.

China, the target of their aggression, is an agricultural country, and its air force is weak and vulnerable, and it is said that they can seize air supremacy and turn China's airspace into a flight training ground by relying only on their advanced air force.

Before the war, who would have thought that the situation in the Northeast would develop like this? Who would have thought that Zhang Xinghan would be born out of thin air and have the existence of a powerful air force that terrifies him?

Historically, he has vigorously researched and developed air defense weapons, and that was also after the defeat in the Pacific Theater, in order to deal with the serious air threat posed by the US military.

Therefore, today in the 30s, in a hurry, the army simply did not have many air defense weapons that could be used.

With the air defense weapons in service in their army, it is really difficult to deal with the Zero fighter, which is at least ten years ahead of this era.

However, although these anti-aircraft weapons can be backward, they still have a power that should not be underestimated when used to hit ground targets.

As the distance approached, two of the armored vehicles of the armored company had already been destroyed by the anti-aircraft guns of the army.

The defensive armor of the armored car could not be compared with the No. 3 tank, and it could only withstand the fire of the devil's anti-aircraft machine gun, and it could not resist the more powerful anti-aircraft gun at all.

Seeing that the armored units that he regarded as treasures had suffered casualties, Zhang Xinghan hurriedly ordered the No. 3 Tank Group to quickly advance and suppress the anti-aircraft guns of the Yue army with full firepower.

At the same time, Guo Zhong was ordered to lead the guard battalion to quickly follow up and approach the train carrying heavy artillery in order to carry out blasting and sabotage.

Under the heavy fire of twenty No. 3 tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles, several anti-aircraft guns of the devils were silently fired one after another.

The infantry took advantage of the situation, the machine gunners opened fire with all their might, and the infantry began to throw a large number of explosive bags under the rails.

At this time, a large number of Yue troops had begun to come back to help, Zhang Xinghan ordered the armored company to turn to meet the attack, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns on more than a dozen armored vehicles opened heavy fire, knocking down the infantry of the Yue army who rushed to reinforce in pieces.

Tank No. 3 opened fire one after another, and the shells fell into the crowd of devils and exploded violently, killing and wounding a large number of devils.

Just then, a deafening train whistle sounded, and several armored trains reversed.

Snow-white light shone like a laser, followed by a loud muffled sound, and a dazzling flame rose from the devil's armored train.

At great speed, it pierced the night sky and flew towards the tank group of the armored company.

There was a loud bang of "boom......, and a huge red light suddenly appeared, and Zhang Xinghan was horrified to see that his two No. 3 tanks were destroyed in an instant.

One of them was even overturned by a huge shock wave.

"Division, little devil's heavy artillery!" Li Zhenyuan, the commander of the armored company, said in his throat.

Zhang Xinghan was shocked, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted: "Zhongzi, it's enough, retreat quickly!" ”

Zhang Xinghan knew that this was a large-caliber heavy gun equipped on the devil's armored train.

He had seen an introduction to armored trains at military forums in later generations, and it was said that the caliber of the guns on armored trains reached more than 200 mm.

This caliber, which is larger than the 150mm heavy howitzer of the Devil Heavy Artillery Brigade, is by no means able to withstand the No. 3 tank of the current armored company.

The large caliber of more than 200 mm, not to mention the No. 3 tank, even the later Tiger tank could not withstand the bombardment at such a close range.

After Guo Zhong led the infantry to begin to retreat, Zhang Xinghan commanded the tanks of the armored company to fire back while directing the retreat.

Fortunately, although the devil's large-caliber heavy artillery is powerful, the rate of fire is slow, and only one shot is fired in a few minutes.

Coupled with the heavy bombardment of the tank guns of the armored company of the Reading Division, the devil soldiers of the heavy artillery suffered heavy casualties and the rate of fire was even slower.

When the armored company withdrew to a distance of several hundred meters, the No. 3 tank piloted by Li Zhenyuan personally aimed its gun barrel at the railroad tracks, which had been stuffed with a large number of explosive packets and cluster grenades.

There was a muffled "tom ......", and a high-explosive bomb suddenly whistled out, accurately hitting the railroad tracks full of explosives.

The explosion of hundreds of explosive packs and cluster grenades detonated the heavy artillery shells on the devil's train.

Immediately caused a violent explosion, tons of shells exploded one after another, and the flames rose dozens of meters into the air.

Train tracks, as well as heavy artillery parts, were scattered everywhere in the explosion.

The sound of a huge explosion resounded through the sky, and it was clearly audible for more than ten miles.

On the way to retreat, Zhang Xinghan leaned on a vehicle-mounted machine gun and lit a cigarette, looking at the huge fire that was tumbling into the air, and a boulder fell to the ground in his heart.

Without the heavy artillery brigade, the 12th Division alone wanted to capture Sujiatun, wishful thinking.

A few minutes later, the headquarters of the 24th Brigade of the Sujiatun Army.

Teng Pingyong was alarmed by the sound of a huge explosion in the distance, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Not long ago, a devil Shaozuo ran into the brigade headquarters in a panic, and said in a hurry: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, it's not good, the heavy artillery brigade was attacked near Dahenan Town, the train and the heavy artillery were blown up, and the heavy artillery brigade lost two-thirds, and the heavy artillery brigade has fallen into a state of paralysis due to the destruction of the railway." ”

"Nani?" Teng Pingyong thought he had heard it wrong, he couldn't believe his ears, a pair of triangular eyes were wide open, and it was very scary.

The devil Shaozuo lowered his head in silence and said: "The heavy artillery brigade was attacked, and two-thirds of it was lost. ”

"Yaga!" Teng Ping Yutaro seemed to be crazy, grabbed the collar of the devil Shaozuo in front of him, picked up the big-eared melon seeds left and right, and started work: "Baga, Baga, Baga Yalu, how is this possible?" ”

"Hay! Hail! The devil Shaozuo was beaten with gold stars in his eyes, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he hurriedly put his legs together and bowed his head again and again to admit his mistake, not daring to be the slightest dissatisfied.

slapped Shao Zuo in front of him more than a dozen times, and Teng Ping Yutaro was like a deflated ball, sitting on an ammunition box with a depressed expression.

It's a stark contrast to the triumph of not so long ago.

At the same time, Liaoyang County, the headquarters of the 12th Division of the Army.

Motoya Sugiyama had just learned the bad news of the attack on the heavy artillery brigade.

Sugiyama Yuan's expression at this moment is no different from that of his dead father, the whole person is listless, and his face is gloomy and scary.

How important the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade is, he knows better than anyone that such a strategic force is now almost completely wiped out in his own hands, and on this basis alone, he, Sugiyama Moto, the commander of the division, will be the end.

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Ogawa Toshio persuaded: "Your Excellency, General, at the moment we can't just be so disheartened and decadent, we must cheer up. ”

Sugiyama Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Pass my order, the 24th Brigade, the 1st Tank Wing, and the 12th Cavalry Wing immediately attack Sujiatun, and telegraph Teng Pingyong that he can't take Sujiatun before dawn, let him apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Ogawa Toshio opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, he knew that Sugiyama was now on the verge of rage, and he bowed his head and took the order......

After receiving the order, Yutaro Tengpei, who was also disheartened, suddenly burst into a monstrous rage.

He immediately carried out Sugiyama Moto's orders cleanly and thoroughly, taking advantage of the fact that the air force of the Reading Force Division could not come and bomb it in the dark.

He gathered together the dozens of remaining tanks and dozens of armored vehicles of the 1st Tank Wing.

Out of anger, Yutaro Tengpei made an extremely correct tactical choice and used all the tanks and armored vehicles together.

Such a powerful assault force is enough to tear through the defense line of any enemy in front of you.

This kind of tactics is something that I can't even think of when I am backward in tactical thinking.

The assault force composed of dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, despite the efforts of the officers and men of the 701st Regiment to resist the attack without fear of life and death, could not stop its advance.

Seeing that the defense line was about to be broken through by himself, Zhang Xinghan led the armored company to arrive in time at this critical moment.

An assault was immediately launched on the tank and armored vehicle clusters of the Japanese army, and a tank battle suddenly began.

A large number of cavalry and infantry also took advantage of the situation to launch a general attack on the position of the 701st Regiment.
