Chapter 223: The Confrontation of Armored Clusters (Part II)

Although the Apache is very effective against these tanks of the Japanese army at the moment, Wei Qidong did not dare to let Tang Xinyi fly the Apache too low, because he knew that the Japanese army had a Type 97 automatic gun, which was actually a 20 mm caliber anti-tank gun.

The main target of this type of anti-tank gun is naturally to deal with armor, but Wei Qidong did not dare to guarantee that the little devil would not suddenly think of a helicopter that could deal with low-altitude aircraft. Although with the strength of the Apache's defense, this anti-tank gun is not enough to knock down the Apache with one shot, but after a few shots, even the Apache may not be able to stand it.

But I was afraid of something, and suddenly with a bang, the left fuselage of Apache was hit hard, and the huge impact force rushed Apache into a shock, Tang Xinyi was startled, and hurriedly controlled the fuselage to prevent it from falling, and quickly pulled up the height.

Wei Qidong frowned, and immediately inspected the location of the injury, from which it could be seen that there was a fist-sized inward-dented bulge on the left fuselage, but fortunately it was not penetrated.

"It's okay, keep ......" Wei Qidong naturally didn't leave immediately if there was some danger, this armored cluster battle was very important to the Chinese army, and it was unlikely that the little devil would knock down the Apache if he thought about it, so this danger was completely worth taking.

"Whoosh......" Wei Qidong locked on to two targets and quickly launched two rockets.

Although due to the problem of enemy fire blockade, Wei Qidong could not lower the height to distinguish the model of the Japanese tank below at close range, but through the firepower and power of the Japanese tank, with his experience, he could basically know what model of the Japanese tank was firing.

Wei Qidong would first use rockets to attack Type 97 and Type 89, and then find an opportunity to attack Type 95 with a chain gun, when attacking Type 95 with a chain gun, Wei Qidong often fired in bursts, and he could kill a Type 95 without asking for a single shell, even if it was five or ten rounds to kill one.

With the air support of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, most of the more than 1......0 tanks that rushed over to support were blown up, which not only blocked the road of the Japanese armor behind them, but also affected their morale.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that from the beginning of the war to the present, their Japanese armor is obviously at a disadvantage, although the armor of the Chinese army seems to be chased and fought by their Japanese armor many times, but their efficiency is low, but they are dragged down by the armor of the Chinese army, and fall into the trap set by the Chinese armored division.

Just like now, more than 30 tanks were surrounded and beaten by several times the Chinese armor.

Due to the lack of radio command, the command of the Japanese army was very inflexible, and it was difficult for the tanks and armor below to understand the commander's strategic intentions in time, and they could often only find a target by themselves and go head-to-head one by one.

However, the larger purpose of the armored cluster is to cooperate with each other, not to fight one-on-one with the opponent.

Because of this, some Japanese tank crews often angrily scolded the Chinese army for not following the rules, and it was clear that they were one-on-one, but suddenly one or more Chinese armor trucks burst out from the side or other directions to surround and beat them, often causing them to be destroyed at the expense of one or the other.

After receiving a request for help from dozens of encircled tanks, the Japanese commander Yasuoka Taketomi wanted to mobilize the main force to rescue, but due to the problem of communication ability, it was difficult for him to gather the scattered armored clusters at once and fight according to his intentions.

Angang Wuchen had not yet organized effective reinforcements, and the more than 30 tanks besieged had been annihilated, which made him extremely angry, and he felt as if he was being led by the nose by the commander of the Chinese army.

"We need support, where are the infantry......" Takeshi Yasuoka roared and complained to Sugiyama Moto.

Sugiyama was shocked, he was still waiting for the victory of Angang Taketomi's armored forces, and then directly led the army to attack the Chinese army in Tianjin, as a result, he couldn't count on anything, and Angang Takeshi also counted on him to send someone to ask for help.

This is a battle between armored forces, and the Chinese army did not send infantry either? If infantry had been sent to reinforce it, wouldn't it prove that the armored forces had also failed? Now that the armored forces have failed, how can the previously formulated plan for the siege of Tianjin still work? In terms of military strength, several Japan combined are not as many as China.

Sugiyama Moto inquired carefully, and Angang Takeshi had to admit that his armored forces could not win and could not control the situation. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was a failure, but Angang Wuchen falsely reported the results of the battle and was unwilling to admit his defeat.

Some commanders of the Japanese army also liked to falsely report their exploits, and Yasuoka Taketomi wanted to say that he had taken control of the situation, and as long as Sugiyama Moto, the main force of the North China Front Army immediately came over for reinforcements, and he could quickly achieve victory.

But thinking about it, Angang Wuchen dispelled this idea, although he felt in his heart that as long as the reinforcements arrived, he could win, but if he didn't win, the consequences would be serious, enough for him Angang Wuchen to die several times.

"In that case, immediately withdraw from the battle and fight again at another date." Sugiyama Mototo immediately ordered.

Although Angang Wuchen was helpless, he could only carry out the order, and he also wanted to go back and summarize the defeat this time, in order to save face in the future.

As a result, Angang Wuchen began to slowly command the remaining armored troops to slowly gather, and at this moment he found that the entire armored force was sparse and much more sparse than when he came. There was no way, even the command was not carried out smoothly, and how did he know how much the specific losses of his armored team were.

At this moment, like waking up from a dream, Angang Wuchen immediately accelerated the pace of retreat, and he was glad that the armored units of the Chinese army only chased for a while, and in his mind, it should be a problem of ammunition and fuel consumption, which needed to be replenished so he had no ability to chase again.

Angang Wuchen even thought about whether to counterattack again, and take advantage of the Chinese army's supplies not keeping up with the killing. As a result, Angang ordered his armored troops to halt their retreat and sent scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the Chinese army.

"Huh? Why did the little devil's armored unit suddenly stop here......" Tang Xinyi's surprised voice came from the Apache who was following the Japanese armored forces in the sky, and the Apache was injured earlier and the fuel was almost running out, so he withdrew directly from the battle.

After the replenishment was complete, Apache lowered his profile a lot after returning to the battlefield, and when he was about to support the ground, he found that the Japanese armored forces were beginning to retreat.

After discussing with General Dai, the two reached a consensus that Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi would secretly follow the retreat of the Japanese army in order to control their direction.

The mechanized artillery in the rear, under the order, quickly came in reinforcements.
