WITH A "BOOM", THE SHELL FIRED BY A 100MM HOWITZER LANDED NEXT TO A 47MM ANTI-TANK GUN, WHICH HAD JUST FIRED AN ARMOR-PIERCING SHELL, BUT THE ARMOR-PIERCING SHELL DID NOT HIT THE TARGET, BUT ALSO EXPOSED ITS POSITION.

WHEN THE GUNNER WAS ABOUT TO CONTINUE FIRING THE SECOND ARMOR-PIERCING SHELL, A 100MM HOWITZER OF THE THIRD COMPANY OF THE FIRST BATTALION OF THE ARTILLERY REGIMENT BEGAN TO SHOOT OVER, AND THE SHELL FELL DIRECTLY NEAR THE ANTI-TANK GUN.

Three of the four anti-tank guns of the 47MM anti-tank gun squadron of the Japanese army were destroyed so far, and their achievement was only the destruction of one tank.

Takei Shusuke, the captain of the tank wing, became gloomy, and he gradually realized that this was not a tentative attack by the Eighth Route Army, nor was this a feint attack by the Eighth Route Army, but the main attack of the Eighth Route Army, and they wanted to capture Zaoling Village.

However, he knew better that now that the main force of his tank wing had been dispersed, they could not pose a mortal threat to the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.

"Pass the order, don't open artillery without authorization when you can't ensure that you hit the enemy's tanks, wait until they are close to fight, and at the same time contact the Eighth Brigade of the Shimen Independent Infantry, so that the main force of the battle defense artillery team and the first tank squadron will immediately reinforce Zaoling Village, attack the troops of the Eighth Route Army from the flank, and assist us in the battle."

Shusuke Takei immediately began to give orders, he knew that it would be difficult to resist the Chinese troops by relying on the troops of Zaoling Village alone, and he could only mobilize the troops of Shimenkou Town.

Even though Takei Shusuke knew that once the troops in Shimen Town were mobilized, they would most likely be attacked by the Chinese troops, but now for him, he had no choice.

Sixteen tanks, led by company commander Chen Hao, quickly marched towards Zaoling Village, and at this time they were less than 300 meters away from Zaoling Village.

"BOOM", THE ONLY 47MM ANTI-TANK GUN IN ZAOLING VILLAGE BEGAN TO SHOOT, AND AN ARMOR-PIERCING SHELL WAS QUICKLY FIRED, AND THIS ARMOR-PIERCING BULLET IMMEDIATELY HIT THE TANK.

The armor-piercing shell grazed past a T-26 tank, but it was just a little bit close to piercing the tank.

The Japanese gunners glanced ahead in annoyance, and the artillerymen on the side immediately began to reload the shells, and the gunners took aim again.

But before the gunner could continue firing armor-piercing shells, a high-explosive shell fired from a Type 92 infantry gun came towards him.

The high-explosive shell fell on the anti-tank gun, and the anti-tank gun was directly blown up, and the ghost soldiers in charge of the anti-tank gun did not even have a chance to dodge, they were directly killed.

ALL FOUR OF THE JAPANESE 47MM ANTI-TANKS WERE DESTROYED, AND NOW THE JAPANESE ONLY HAVE EIGHT 20MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS THAT CAN BE USED, AND THEY HAVE ACHIEVED THE RECORD, ONLY ONE T-26 TANK WAS DESTROYED.

Takei Shusuke's face became gloomy, he was extremely angry in his heart, looking at the tanks that were getting closer and closer, looking at the large number of infantry following behind the tanks, Takei Shusuke didn't know for a while if he could wait for the friendly reinforcements from Shimen Town.

"Forward!" Chen Hao began to give combat orders to each vehicle through the radio, and he ordered the driver to speed up.

Sixteen T-26 tanks began to move towards the front, they were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the front tank was less than a hundred meters away from Zaoling Village.

Yin Jinshan was watching the battle from behind with a telescope, and a smile appeared on his face after seeing the progress of the 3rd Armored Company.

"Report to Regiment Commander Yin, Shimen Town found twelve Japanese tanks, eight anti-tank guns, and more than 300 infantry, and they are coming towards Zaoling Village for reinforcements."

While Yin Jinshan was watching the battle, the scouts of the third company of the reconnaissance battalion immediately rushed over on horseback, and when they came to Yin Jinshan, the scouts immediately reported.

"The cavalry battalion, the third armored company, and the cavalry artillery battalion set off immediately, and they must stop this Japanese army and don't let them get close to Zaoling Village."

After Yin Jinshan got the scout's report, a firm expression appeared on his face, and he gave the order in a serious tone.

Ge Haifeng, commander of the cavalry battalion, Liu Xinyu, commander of the third armored company, and Wang Yanbo, commander of the cavalry artillery battalion, immediately saluted, and they quickly began to set off with their troops.

With a "boom", in Zaoling Village, a Type 97 tank began to attack, and this Type 97 tank aimed at a T-26 tank, and he immediately began to fire armor-piercing shells.

An armor-piercing shell was launched, this armor-piercing shell accurately hit the front of the T-26 tank, this tank was penetrated, the armor-piercing shell smashed the inside of the tank, and at the same time detonated the shells inside the tank, a huge explosion began to sound, and the tank was destroyed.

However, this Type 97 tank also began to be completely exposed, and the four 47MM anti-tank guns deployed by the armored battalion outside the village began to shoot, and two armor-piercing shells accurately hit the Type 97 tank, and under the cover of the artillery unit, fifteen T-26 tanks began to rush into the village, and Zhang Wenbin and the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion followed closely behind.

Shusuke Takei had already begun to retreat to the core position in the village, and he immediately contacted Ishinomura Town via radio, and at the same time began to report to the brigade commander Momoyo Nagano Village on the situation on his side.

Even though Takei Zhou's assistant still had a complete tank squadron in his hands, he knew that he had no chance of winning.

"WING COMMANDER, NOW WE STILL HAVE THIRTEEN TANKS AND EIGHT 20MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS, AND NOW THE CHINESE TROOPS HAVE NOT FORMED AN ENCIRCLEMENT AROUND US, WE CAN BREAK THROUGH. Wing Commander, I ask you to give the order to break out immediately. The captain squadron leader of the tank squadron came to Shusuke Takei, and he said with an anxious face.

Outside the village, the Eighth Route Army deployed a large number of artillery, and the captain squadron leader of the tank squadron knew that it would be difficult for him to hold on to Zaoling Village.

In his opinion, it was the most rational thing for the troops to break out now, and if it weren't for the wing commander of Shusuke Takei, he would have given such an order a long time ago.

"Bagaya Road, how can you say such a thing, you must know that the brigade headquarters of His Excellency the brigade commander is in Dongjiao Village. Once the Chinese troops capture Zaoling Village, they are likely to launch a direct attack on the eastern suburbs, and we must ensure the safety of the brigade headquarters, and we must also ensure that Zaoling Village is held until reinforcements arrive. ”

Shusuke Takei looked at the squadron leader of the tank captain in front of him, and he said with an unusually serious expression.

"Wing Commander, it's not good, the China tank began to disperse, the Shina grenadier began to fire smoke grenades, and now the entire Zaoling Village is in a cloud of smoke, and the sight of the armored troops inside the tank is seriously affected, and they can't see the target at all."

As soon as Shusuke Takei's words fell, a staff officer hurriedly ran in from outside to say.
