Chapter 781: Appetite is not small

The officers of the 6th Cavalry Regiment quickly discussed the battle plan, and the departments immediately began to move.

The first company of the armored battalion, the second and third companies of the machine infantry battalion, the machine gun company, and the fourth company of the mounted artillery battalion were led by deputy regiment commander Liang Weifeng and continued to advance towards Shimen Town.

The 2nd and 3rd companies of the armored battalion, the armored vehicles directly under the infantry battalion, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies of the mounted artillery battalion were led by regiment commander Yin Jinshan and quietly launched a detour from the flank.

The Japanese troops were in an advantageous position, but they did not attack Shimenkou Town for a long time, and the Japanese troops must have used Shimenmen Town as a bait to attract reinforcements from the Sixth Army Divisional Troops, and the Japanese army had prepared for a day, and they must have already set up an ambush circle.

The troops led by Liang Weifeng wanted to get into the Japanese ambush circle, so that the Japanese ambush troops would be completely exposed, so as to provide targets for the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment.

After a period of training and replenishment, the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment have been replenished with some weapons and ammunition, and the tanks promised by the chairman to replenish the 6th Cavalry Regiment have also been delivered.

At present, the first company of the armored battalion of the 6th Cavalry Regiment has two Type 89 tanks and 15 Type 95 tanks, the second company has 17 T-26 tanks, the third company has six Type 89 tanks and seven Vickers tanks, and the battalion headquarters has two Type 97 tanks and four six-wheeled armored vehicles.

The establishment of each company of the infantry battalion is the same as that of the infantry company, but in addition to being equipped with trucks and straddle motorcycles, each infantry company has also increased the establishment of 10 armored vehicles, the first company is equipped with five Type 91 armored vehicles, five Type 92 armored vehicles, the second company is equipped with 10 four-wheeled armored vehicles, the third company is equipped with 10 Type 91 armored vehicles, 10 Type 91 armored vehicles, 10 Type 92 armored vehicles, five four-wheeled armored vehicles, and five six-wheeled armored vehicles directly under the battalion headquarters.

The strength of the mounted artillery battalion has not changed, but five six-wheeled armored vehicles have been added.

THE SO-CALLED FOUR-WHEELED ARMORED CAR AND SIX-WHEELED ARMORED CAR, THIS IS THE ONLY DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED ARMORED CAR, THE FOUR-WHEELED ARMORED CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH TWO LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, AND THE SIX-WHEELED ARMORED CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A 37MM GUN AND TWO LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, AND THESE DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED WHEELED ARMORED VEHICLES ARE JUST TRUCKS PURCHASED FROM ABROAD FOR MODIFICATION.

Sun Weiguo's troops of the New Second Brigade won a great victory, and the chairman of the committee also came up with some weapons this time to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the New Second Brigade.

In addition to the nine tanks promised, the chairman also deliberately asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to equip dozens of domestically produced armored vehicles in stock with the New Second Brigade at one time.

As for gasoline, the chairman did not send a drop of oil, and the 6th Cavalry Regiment now uses all captured Japanese.

Once all this gasoline is used up, all the tanks, armored vehicles and other mechanical equipment of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment will become scrap metal.

Yin Jinshan was very clear about the situation of his troops, and he wanted to fight a quick battle this time, and after agreeing on the battle plan, all units began to take action.

The 17 tanks of the 1st Company began to move, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Infantry Battalion in trucks and cross-bucket motorcycles, and the six 120MM mortars towed by trucks followed, and Liang Weifeng, deputy commander of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, sat on a cross-bucket motorcycle, his eyes looked ahead, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

"Inform Chen Haolian that the tank will open a distance of 70 meters, contact the Ye Zimin Infantry Battalion, and ask them to send infantry to the front to search." When the troops gradually approached Zaoling Village, Liang Weifeng, the deputy commander of the regiment, immediately began to give orders.

The herald immediately began to convey Liang Weifeng's order, and an infantry platoon began to drive towards Zaoling Village in trucks and straddle motorcycles, and the tank troops began to pull away.

In the vicinity of Shimenkou Town, all 40 tanks of the Japanese tank wing were assembled, and Takei Shusuke, the commander of the tank wing, was anxiously waiting for news from the signal troops.

"Your Excellency Wing Commander, there is a tank unit near Zaoling Village, according to the report of the search team, this tank unit should be the main force of Sun Weiguo's tank, Your Excellency the brigade commander requires us to quickly go to Zaoling Village to intercept the tank force of China, the artillery wing will cooperate with us in the battle, Your Excellency the brigade commander hopes that we can completely annihilate them!"

The communications soldier came to Shusuke Takei, and he immediately reported.

Shusuke Takei, who was riding in the Type 97 tank, heard the report from the signal soldier, and he immediately began to give orders.

FORTY TANKS OF THE TANK WING, TOGETHER WITH FOUR 47MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, BEGAN TO MOVE, AND THESE TROOPS, LED BY SHUSUKE TAKEI, MARCHED TOWARDS THE VILLAGE OF ZAOLING.

Shusuke Takei was apparently trained at the regular German military academy, and the forty tanks of the tank wing were marching in a wedge-shaped formation, starting with the 1st Tank Squadron, a medium tank squadron with twelve Type 89 tanks.

The tank tracks ran over the ground, and the tank drove quickly on the road, and Takei Shusuke was a little excited, he couldn't wait to engage the tank troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment.

"Boom, boom!" While the tank unit was marching towards Zaoling Village, the 44 guns of the Ikuta Kumi Artillery Wing began to shoot according to the shooting provided by the search team, and one shell after another quickly hit Zaoling Village.

The Japanese artillery continued to shoot for ten minutes, and hundreds of shells were fired at Zaoling Village, which was plunged into a sea of fire.

AND A MACHINE INFANTRY PLATOON THAT ENTERED ZAOLING VILLAGE TO RECONNOITER PAID THE PRICE OF MORE THAN TEN CASUALTIES, LIANG WEIFENG, DEPUTY COMMANDER OF THE SIXTH CAVALRY REGIMENT, IMMEDIATELY ORDERED THE TROOPS TO STOP ADVANCING AND DISPERSE AND HIDE AFTER THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY BOMBARDMENT BEGAN, BUT EVEN SO, CHEN HAO'S FIRST COMPANY STILL HAD TWO TYPE 95 TANKS DESTROYED BY SHELLS, YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY WING WAS EQUIPPED WITH 150MM HOWITZER!

The Japanese artillery position, Kunomura Momoyo had already arrived here with the personnel of the brigade headquarters, and Kunomura Momoyo set up his brigade headquarters on the artillery position.

The 6th Independent Infantry Brigade, which served as a reserve, not only became the brigade headquarters guard brigade, but also shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the artillery positions.

Kunomura Momoyo had a detailed understanding of Sun Weiguo's troops, and he knew that Sun Weiguo's troops were good at surprise attacks, so he prepared artillery positions in advance.

"Order the Seventh Independent Infantry Brigade to immediately follow the Tank Wing, and the Seventh Independent Infantry Brigade will be under the command of Takei Shusuke, the commander of the Tank Wing, and at the same time contact the Eighth Independent Infantry Brigade and ask them to slow down the attack, if they eliminate the Zhina troops in Shimen Town, then there is no need for Sun Weiguo's troops to come over."

Kunomura Momoyo learned about the battle situation through the search team, and then he immediately began to issue combat orders, Kunomura Momoyo has a lot of appetite this time, he plans to eat all the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment that have come over, and the first company of the Jibu Battalion in Shimenkou Town is just a decoy.
