The chariot roared, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust.

With such a large target, it is basically impossible to evade the detection of the reconnaissance planes of the Chinese army.

Therefore, the military reconnaissance planes soon attracted a huge mixed fleet of no less than 50 Type 95 fighters and Type 93 bombers.

Under the guidance of the reconnaissance planes, more than 50 planes covered the sky and swooped down like locusts in transit towards the unidentified tank cluster that was rumbling on the ground.

"Fire!" Joan Bang's command sounded from the radio communicator in the ground tank, and immediately the two MG34 general-purpose machine guns equipped with the Leopard tank opened fire.

More than 300 MG34s opened fire one after another, and more than 300 dazzling tongues of fire erupted from the muzzles, forming a dense network of dense anti-aircraft firepower crisscrossing the gun.

The mixed aircraft group of the Japanese army suddenly plunged headlong into the anti-aircraft fire network composed of tens of thousands of 7.92mm machine gun shells.

The ......dense bullets hit the weak defensive armor of the Type 95 fighters, and soon pierced the armor of some planes, and then the planes, which were covered in bruises, began to burst into flames, and even more were killed in the air by the dense bullets.

The plane that flew in later was also tragically damaged because it could not dodge, and was either hit by the fragments of the exploding plane, or directly collided with the wreckage of the plane, causing an even bigger explosion.

On the ground, under Qiao Anbang's command, all the tanks were still rushing forward at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and at the same time, the machine gunners were still firing into the air to block the pursuit of the planes.

After losing more than 10 planes, the pilots of the Yue Army, who were diving and trembling, began to desperately pull up, and they never expected that the armored tank units on the ground would have such dense and powerful anti-aircraft firepower.

After climbing far away from the effective range of ground anti-aircraft fire, the bombers of the Japanese army began to drop bombs one after another, but because the ground targets and the planes themselves were moving rapidly, it was not easy for the devil's aerial bombs to hit the ground targets.

Often, as soon as the shell hits the ground, the drop is hundreds of meters or even higher, and even if the occasional shell explosion point is slightly closer to the ground tank, the sporadic explosion is simply not enough to cause any real damage to the fast-moving Leopard tanks with extremely good armor defenses.

Some indiscriminate shrapnel hit the Leopard's armor like a tickle, and there was no threat.

Soon, as the distance approached, the Leopard tank cluster of the special operations battalion finally met the oncoming tank and armored cluster of the Japanese army, and Qiao Anbang immediately gave the order to open fire in an all-out manner.

Dozens of Leopard tanks at the forefront were the first to fire, and 75mm armor-piercing shells suddenly roared out from the barrel of the tank's main gun like arrows from the string.

At a distance of a thousand meters, the Leopard's 75mm armor-piercing shells were enough to penetrate all Allied tanks of World War II, such as the T34/85 and Firefly.

In front of the Leopard tanks, their defensive armor was as weak as tofu and easily penetrated, causing the entire tank to explode.

In the violent explosion, the tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army were hit by the Leopard tanks, which caught fire and fell apart, turning into pairs of scrap metal.

However, the armor-piercing shells fired by the 37mm tank guns on the Leopard tanks could not penetrate the frontal armor of the Leopard tanks at all, and some of the Leopard tanks cunningly and self-righteously went around the flanks of the Leopard tanks and fired their guns in an attempt to penetrate the side armor of the Leopard tanks.

However, the sides of the Leopard tank were obliquely armored, and it was even more difficult for the army's armor-piercing shells to hurt it in the slightest.

Since the tanks and armored units of both sides on the ground had already entered a dog-tooth melee, in order to avoid accidentally injuring their own tank and armored units, the military aircraft group in the sky had no choice but to return home.

As the fierce battle between the two sides progressed, this tank battle, which was completely a one-sided massacre, finally ended with the collapse of the tank forces of the Japanese army.

As for Chichai Yaezo, who was still ambitious before departure, he had already been bombarded into slag by Qiao Anbang's car with armor-piercing bullets and people and tanks.

Chishiba Yaezo didn't even understand how the Shina chariot that was fighting with them could be so powerful? The tanks and fighting vehicles of the Imperial Army were simply no match for them, and the gap between the two sides was like a military truck and a toy car.

"Brothers, pursue at full speed, and let the little devils see what a real tank is! My [***] team is the real king of land warfare! Crush their Yasukuni Shrine with our torrent of steel! Joanbang's impassioned command rang out over the radio again.

Although the outcome of the battle between the two sides had been predicted by Qiao Anbang, when he led his own tank cluster to defeat twice the armored forces of the Yue army and fled, Qiao Anbang still felt a lot of pride in his heart.

It is not difficult for him to imagine that in the future, the tank armored unit of the Tiger Ben Army will be equipped with thousands or even tens of thousands of tanks rampaging across the Eurasian continent.

………………………… The news of the collapse of their own tank armored forces and the squadron [***] was about to collapse, and it was a crush, and the losses were terrible, and such news was quickly reported to the Home Defense Command in Tokyo.

Ishihara and Itagaki Seishiro were both shocked and speechless, and the two of them looked at each other in shock, and they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

"How so? How can a huge armored cluster of more than 300 tanks and armored combat vehicles be so vulnerable? How can the enemy be so strong? Ishihara said in amazement.

"Ishihara-kun, I have a bad premonition!" Itagaki Seishiro said thoughtfully: "Could it be that our native Shina people are also equipped with their advanced tank combat vehicles?" ”

"You mean the new chariots that the Tiger Army is equipped with?" Ishihara was very clear about the situation of the Tiger Army, and asked with a surprised face.

Itagaki Seishiro nodded solemnly and said: "Very likely, otherwise our chariots would not be so vulnerable, and only the advanced chariots equipped by the armored troops of the Tiger Ben Army on the battlefield of China will be so powerful!" ”

"But how did the people of China bring these advanced tanks into the territory of my empire? Sea freight is certainly not possible, only air freight! Could it be that the air force of the Chinese people is strong enough to airlift tanks and fighting vehicles? Ishihara's mouth was wide open, and his face was full of surprise.

Seishiro Itagaki naturally couldn't explain and couldn't answer.

"Not good!" Ishihara suddenly slapped the table and exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Seishiro Itagaki asked suspiciously.

"Immediately ordered all divisions and regiments to immediately build defensive positions on the spot to prevent a frontal attack by the armored assault forces of China!" Ishihara Waner was shocked into a cold sweat and said to Seishiro Itagaki.

Thinking that the infantry units of several divisions of his own side were still encircling the area where the tanks and combat vehicles of the two sides were engaged, and once the armored forces of this branch suddenly turned around and launched a surprise attack on any division, the imperial army on the march would definitely not be able to resist.

It is necessary to know that in a field battle, if there is no solid defensive position as a support, the ground forces are not the opponent of the armored assault force at all, especially the tank fighting vehicles equipped by this armored assault force are all very advanced and powerful new combat vehicles, and ordinary anti-tank weapons cannot help him at all.

was reminded by Ishihara Waner, Itagaki Seishiro also suddenly woke up, and almost conveyed Ishihara's meaning to the combat staff officer with a roar.

However, Ishihara came to his senses a little late, and after completely defeating the tank and armored forces of the Japanese army and destroying more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army, Qiao Anbang immediately ordered the troops to stop the pursuit, and turned around and roared away in the direction of Osaka.

Qiao Anbang's goal was clear, that is, to attack the 3rd Guards Division that was coming towards them with lightning speed.

Because the defeat of their own tank units was too sudden and too fast, when the Guards Division received the news and received a warning message from the Home Defense Command, a huge torrent of steel composed of 166 Leopard tanks led by Qiao Anbang had appeared less than twenty miles away from the forward troops of the 3rd Guards Division.

Naturally, this information was provided by military reconnaissance planes in the air.

Shocked, Yoshitaro Hayashi, commander of the 3rd Guards Division, immediately ordered the troops to quickly retreat in the direction from which they came, and they were to retreat to a small town less than forty kilometers from Osaka, relying on the town to block the sudden and powerful armored forces, because they had no time to build fortifications on the spot.

As the order was delivered, the Imperial warriors of the 3rd Guards Division were puzzled, originally they had planned to use this battle to avenge the death of their compatriots in the Osaka fire, but now they retreated without even seeing the face of the Shina man, and of course the devil soldiers would rush to be surprised and questioned.

However, doubts are doubts, the good discipline of the devil soldiers was undoubtedly revealed at a moment, although they were unwilling and extremely reluctant, but the soldiers of the 3rd Guards Division still obeyed the order and retreated.

However, the next development greatly exceeded the expectations of some grassroots units of the army, especially the devils of the former forward units of the front team and the rear team.

Less than ten kilometers after they had retreated, an armored unit of Chinese tanks suddenly appeared and attacked them with extremely rapid machine-gun and artillery fire.

In front of the steel torrent composed of one or two hundred tanks, the resistance of the hundreds of devil soldiers behind the hall seemed so weak and weak, and the battle went on tightly for less than ten minutes, and all the hundreds of devils were thrown to the ground by the dense rain of machine gun shells and powerful shells.

Immediately, the tank cluster roared over their corpses, crushing most of the devil corpses into pulp, and the entire battle site instantly became extremely bloody and terrifying.

Unmoved, Joan Bang continued to direct his troops in pursuit, his goal being to inflict as much damage as possible on the 3rd Guards Division, which had caught them off guard.
