The early morning of May 4, 1937 was undoubtedly a tragic and abnormal nightmare for the Sixth Division of the Chinese Army! In addition to the four jackal tanks that broke down, the mechanized brigade of the 1st Mechanized Division of the provisional organization put into operation 71 jackal tanks and 95 hound armored vehicles and half-track multi-purpose assault vehicles, forming two dense assault clusters on the front of a highway, and a regiment of the 1st Mechanized Brigade carried half-track multi-purpose assault vehicles to accompany the covering operation.

However, the 1st Mechanized Division is no longer the unit that Chengde could only defend and be beaten passively back then, when the cavalry squadrons of the Yue Army fell one after another under the parallel machine gun fire of the Jackal Light Tanks, many resting soldiers of the Yue Army stood up curiously and stood on tiptoe to look at the gunfire and explosions in the distance?

Sakai Tokuta's expression was a little very strange, such a dense sound of artillery and machine guns was obviously not the firepower that a reconnaissance cavalry squadron could have, Shimoda's cavalry squadron was only equipped with two grenadiers and a 60mm mortar, the brigade was lightly armed, and the field artillery brigade attached to it was still on the way with the division headquarters, I'm afraid it hasn't reached Jurong yet, right?

Could it be the Chinese army? Sakai Tokuta suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the Chinese army dared to carry out a counterattack? Could it be the blocking position of that army? Listening to the sound of artillery and machine guns, it would take at least the size of several divisions of the Chinese Army to have such an artillery group, but this artillery sound seems a little weird? Not like howitzers or mountain artillery?

Sakai Tokuta suddenly remembered that there was intelligence before that the Shina people had a chariot unit in Nanjing? Is that the sound of tank guns? For a moment, Tokuta Sakai's face turned pale and shouted wildly: "Order everyone to be on guard on the spot and prepare for battle!" ”

If Tokuta Sakai can pee his pants in fear at this moment, this is all to lift up this schoolgirl who was enjoying being robbed twenty minutes ago, and the violent girl almost almost bit off Tokuta Sakai's nose!

When the soldiers of the Yue army were at a loss to find a suitable concealed position on the spot, the Jackal light tank assault group of the mechanized brigade appeared in front of the naked eye of the Yue army.

The officers and men stared in amazement at the gray chariots moving at great speed hundreds of meters away, as if the day had come for them to atone for the crimes they had committed these days.

Immediately organize a forward team, and the experienced officers of the army even took the lead in hanging a large bundle of ** or 91 grenades! Look! The chariot of the Shina people is so fast!

Before the advance team of the Japanese army could assemble, the 71 jackal tanks fired three rounds of fire, and the machine guns and parallel machine guns were all violently strafing the Japanese troops who were concentrated on both sides of the road, and the bullets set off bursts of blood mist among the soldiers.

The Jackal light tank that was speeding at a speed of 55 kilometers per hour caught the Yue army off guard, because the limited number of members of the standing team did not have the opportunity to pounce on these steel monsters, and the jackal was not the slow ** type of the Yue army, nor was it a thin-skinned 95 type, and the 91 type grenade did no harm to it at all, especially the jackal light tank was all equipped with skirts and engine shields.

A jackal light tank numbered 052 was pounced on from the front by a captain who was covered with grenades, after the explosion, the periscope and periscope of the jackal tank were all blocked by the broken body of the captain, and the No. 052 jackal light tank that lost its vision immediately broke away from the original forward route, and the commander who was eager to clean up the periscope was hit by the army when he lifted the top cover of the turret and leaned out, and blood flowed down the corpse of the driver Feng Chao.

In order to avoid collisions, several tanks on the side all slowed down to give way to the 052 car, but the 052 car drove into the side of the road where the infantry was ambushed. However, Feng Chao still stepped on the accelerator hard, pushed the forward lever desperately forward, and in the roar of the Maybach engine, the 052 Jackal light tank was finally stuck out after a bumpy advance of more than 100 meters! Feng Chao, who took off the P-30 submachine gun from the weapon rack, wanted to open the exit at the bottom, but he was unsuccessful, and he could only reasonably drag the commander's body down with the gunner and communications soldiers.

After opening the top cover, Feng Chao turned sideways to shoot at the Yue Jun who was desperately fleeing, and picked up the broken body of the previous captain of the Yue Army, and commanded the communication corps to shoot with a course machine gun, Feng Chao turned around and vomited out!

In the long 100-meter distance behind the 052 car, at least hundreds of bloody corpses were crushed on the ground, full of broken bodies and internal organs, broken heads like a broken watermelon, it turned out that the previous bumps were crushed to the ambush soldiers who were ambushed on the side of the road, too many forearms, thigh bones, hands and feet were involved in the tracks, even if there was a skirt, it was difficult to prevent foreign objects from being involved, the guide wheel was stuck, Feng Chao and the other three vomited, While using a tool to pick at the bones and foreign objects between the guide wheels.

The commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade, Tokuta Sakai, was very lucky to be sifted by the machine gun of a jackal tank, because this clever brigade commander was riding a war horse and preparing to escape, and in the eyes of the Chinese armored soldiers, this guy's pants with red trousers and katana, and rare large-brimmed hat were definitely worth stopping and strafing.

Tokuta Sakai can be said to be happy, because he did not die under the crushing of the tracks, nor did he pull out his gun in despair, nor did he see the collapse of his troops with his own eyes.

When the marching column of the army was cut through by jackal light tanks, the 11th Infantry Brigade of the army had already collapsed, and the troops that were originally ambushed on the flanks were ready to make a final fight, but they were accidentally broken in by a chariot, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were crushed into pulp.

What does it feel like for a human body to be struck and crushed by a tank of more than 22 tons traveling at a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour? A bundle of 91-type grenades can only add some black flesh and blood so-called paint to the opponent's chariot, which is complete despair, and the chariot surname of the people of China is obviously beyond the imagination and acceptance ability of the soldiers.

The 40-minute attack completely routed the entire reinforced infantry brigade of more than 8,000 people, and everywhere there were hounds and light tanks pursuing the army, and the two brigades that followed were basically left to clean up the battlefield, and the 11th Infantry Brigade of the Yue Army did not have suitable anti-tank weapons at all, and the infantry brigades of the 1st Mechanized Division, which were different from the provisional 1st Mechanized Division, were equipped with a certain number of anti-tank rifles.

However, in the face of the hollow 10 mm thick front armor with the addition of a diaphragm reinforced by the 50 mm alloy monolithically forged by the jackal, as well as the 35 mm thick side armor, the 10 mm skirt and the 30 mm tail armor, the anti-tank rifle has almost no effect on the jackal light tank, but it has a huge threat and lethality to the ** type medium tank and the 95 type light tank equipped by the army.

After Qiu Qingquan arrived at the battlefield, he saw Chen Yuxing, Hao Wenbin, Ye Yunfei and others who were vomiting collectively, especially the "flesh and blood path" created by the 052 car crew! About 400 soldiers of the Yue Army were crushed to the ground, and the broken corpses were crushed by the 30-centimeter tracks of the jackal light tank. Am I lacking eyes? The chariot is still crawling on the ground when it is run over? Don't even know how to dodge?

As a matter of fact, Qiu Qingquan underestimated the quality of the army's cultivation and its rigid dogma, and if any of the officers and men dared to move to expose their targets while they were lurking, they would be executed on the spot, and without the orders of the superior officers, the troops of the army who were lurking on the other side of the road and preparing to attack on the flank could only crawl on the ground and stiffen.

But Qiu Qingquan really had a hard time understanding the reason for this crazy original intention? Qiu Qingquan didn't know that in fact, in the Pacific Theater of World War II, there was a record of the entire brigade of the Japanese army being burned to death by the US military's flamethrowers and incendiary bombs during the lurking process. After checking it, I found that a whole large group of the Yue army had lurked under their noses, and it can be said that the elite troops of the Yue army, who had lost their personal emotions and reason and were armed with the spirit of bushido, were the first in the world in terms of rigidity and rigidity, and the devotion spirit of their officers and soldiers was no worse than Huang Jiguang who sacrificed himself to block the bunker and Qiu Shaoyun who burned himself in the fire in later generations!

However, it only took an hour to defeat a fully formed infantry brigade of an elite division of the Yue Army? In Qiu Qingquan's impression, this battle would not be known until at least noon, at least until the next two so-called motorized infantry brigades pressed up to launch a general attack, and tanks and armored vehicles were always equipped with infantry.

Qiu Qingquan looked at the messy battlefield and the large number of abandoned corpses of the army, and the tanks that were already parked in the pile of corpses and were being repaired, and the tenacity of the army also brought great shock to Qiu Qingquan, Hao Wenbin and others! It is said that all four crew members in six or seven tanks were stunned by the explosion of the meat bullets that rushed up from the Chinese army.

Said that my tenacity can be seen in general? In particular, before the final collapse of the army, it almost fell into a frenzied counterattack, and some of the troops even held two 91-type grenades and went straight under the chariot, if it were not for the fast speed, good protection, and fierce firepower of the jackal light tank, the result was really difficult to predict.

However, the counterattack of the Yue army also brought some trouble to the tank regiment of the mechanized brigade, and there were also some losses of personnel and vehicles, two jackal combat vehicles were completely destroyed by the explosives of the Yue army, and all the members of the vehicle crew were martyred.
