"Sosa, did you find anything?" Gao Chu and Liang Yiyu asked one after another.

Qiao Anbang picked up the telephone microphone in front of him, looked at it and threw it away, and said indifferently: "It seems that the army has begun to formulate a battle plan for encircling and suppressing us!" ”

"Encircle us?" Liang Yiyu and Gao Chu were taken aback at the same time.

"Yes, from the present point of view, the reason why there is no exchange of telegrams between the various units of the local army is because they use wired telephones to communicate, and their purpose is to prevent the telegrams from being stolen and deciphered by us and exposing their operational plans and the whereabouts of the troops!" Qiao Anbang nodded solemnly.

"What are we going to do?" Liang Yiyu asked.

"What should I do?" Qiao Anbang pondered for a while, and decided on the spot: "One force will drop ten!" In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies will be vulnerable, and I have decided to immediately form all the special combat personnel into a fully mechanized armored assault force, follow our actions in the defense of Nanjing, and use the flexible mobility of the armored assault force to destroy the enemy, destroy the living forces of the army, and then smash Ishihara's conspiracy, and attack their industrial base by the way! ”

"Armored assault troops?" Liang Yilu and Gao Chu had both heard that Qiao Anbang led his troops to fight thousands of miles in the defense of Nanjing, and they were all very excited when they thought that they were about to follow a national hero like Qiao Anbang to gallop across the land of Yuekou and kill the enemy to serve the country.

"Yes!" Qiao Anbang paused, and said to the two: "Pass the order, stop the transfer, and everyone gather outside the town to standby!" ”

"Yes!" The two of them responded in unison, and then turned around one after another.

After the two left, Qiao Anbang also walked straight towards Yali and began to choose the tank and armored vehicle for the special operators to use.

As a result of the automatic development of aircraft these days, there are several more types of weapons and equipment that can be produced by aircraft, especially tank combat vehicles.

From the original tank that could only produce the German No. 4 tank, it is now able to produce the Tiger heavy tank, the Leopard tank (i.e. the No. 5 tank), as well as the Soviet T34/85 and 74, as well as the British Firefly and the American Sherman.

Needless to say, the Haw Par tank, which can dominate the European battlefield for a while when used on the mainland, is still the No. 4 tank equipped with the Tiger Army's armored brigade, and it is not something that the tank armored unit of the Chinese Army can compete with at this stage.

In the face of the tanks of various European countries, Xiao Yueben's tanks can only be regarded as heavy armored vehicles equipped with tank guns at best, and they are really not tanks.

Even advanced tanks such as the British Firefly, the American Sherman M4 and the Soviets' T34 series are no match for the Haw Par tank, let alone the army tank at this time.

The key choice lies in the fact that the selection of Tiger and Leopard tanks now will definitely become the forerunner of the Tiger Army's armored units, and will directly affect the thinking and tank selection of the armored units in the future.

In fact, the purpose of equipping the special operations forces with Tiger and Leopard tanks in the local area is to deal with the encirclement and suppression that they may face next, and at the same time, to defeat the Yue army in the anti-encirclement and suppression, and to conduct an actual combat experiment for the armored units of the Tiger Ben Army to fully replace their tanks!

"Master, I suggest you choose a Leopard tank for the time being!" Seeing Qiao Anbang's hesitation, Yali suggested out loud.

"Why?" Jo Anbang asked as he wanted to hear what Yali had to say.

"Although the Tiger tank has powerful artillery and thick defensive armor, its weight is too heavy, resulting in poor mobile energy, and the firepower of the Leopard tank is not much worse than that of the Tiger tank, and the thickness of the defensive armor is not inferior, but its weight is lighter than that of the Tiger tank, so the mobile surname can also be stronger than the Tiger tank, and, with the current tank fighting vehicles of the army, whether it is the Tiger or the Leopard, they can undoubtedly sweep them, so the pressure suggests that the owner choose the Leopard tank!" Yali patiently analyzed for Qiao Anbang.

"Hmm!" Qiao Anbang nodded thoughtfully, what Yali said was the same as he thought, whether it was the Tiger or the Leopard tank, it was not comparable to the tanks equipped by the army at this stage, in this case, it was naturally better to choose the Leopard tank with stronger mobility.

Because this can be in line with Qiao Anbang's tactical vision of destroying the enemy in rapid mobility and movement.

"Okay, then let's go with the Leopard tank!" Qiao Anbang made up his mind and ordered: "We will go first, there are more than 830 people, and according to the carrying capacity of each Leopard tank with five members, we will produce at least 166 Leopard tanks. ”

"Master, won't we produce a batch of armored vehicles this time to deal with the planes and infantry of the Japanese army?" Yali asked kindly.

"No, you don't! The Leopard tank's own MG34 universal machine gun is more than enough for these tasks! Moreover, with the maneuverability and armor protection capabilities of the Leopard tank, the planes of the little devils want to pose a real threat to us, unless they have a radar precision guidance system, it can only be wishful thinking! Qiao Anbang waved his hand and said confidently.

……………………………………………… After about an hour, all 166 brand-new Leopard tanks were produced, and Qiao Anbang immediately ordered the special combat team members to come and familiarize themselves with the new No. 5 tank, since most of the special combat personnel came from special operations battalions.

Therefore, each of them can drive tanks and armored vehicles, and the No. 4 tank equipped by the armored brigade of the Tiger Army and the current Leopard tank are brothers of the same mother, plus Yali, an all-round female soldier, it took about a night for the soldiers to basically master the operation and use of various functions of the Leopard tank.

The 300 special combat personnel who were not from the special operations battalion were placed in positions that were easy to learn and master, such as radio and ammunition cabins, and important positions such as pilots and vehicle commanders were held by the special forces of the former special operations battalion.

In order to boost morale and ease command, Jo Anbang and Yali were also assigned to a Leopard and stayed in the town for several hours to rest.

Qiao Anbang finally led the special combat team members, who were already excited and eager to try, to embark on the journey in a huge torrent of steel composed of 166 Leopard tanks.

The ironclad torrent roared past, and everywhere they went, they rolled up a cloud of dust, and soon Qiao Anbang's whereabouts were discovered by the reconnaissance planes of the Yue Army, which kept flying in the sky.

The reconnaissance pilots quickly reported this information to the Home Defense Command.

In Tokyo, the defense headquarters, when this information was obtained, Ishihara Waner and Itagaki Seishiro were both shocked, and a large tank armored unit was found more than 130 miles northwest of Osaka?

"How is this possible?" Ishihara and Itagaki Seishiro directly denied that this was their own tank armored force, but they also couldn't believe that this huge armored force that suddenly appeared would be China's armored force.

Because the squadron that attacked Tokyo, Hiroshima and Osaka has been proven to be a few small infantry special forces.

Where the hell did this sudden tank armored unit come from? At this moment, Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara were full of questions.

However, the shock was shocked, and Ishihara Waner quickly sobered up from the shock and began to say to Seishiro Itagaki: "Sakagaki-kun, no matter where this armored force comes from, we must respond to it and destroy it at all costs!" ”

"Hmmm! Ishihara-kun, what good can you do, but it doesn't hurt to say it! Seishiro Itagaki nodded in agreement.

"Immediately order the tank search wings directly under the 1st, 3rd, and 2nd Guards Divisions to form a powerful tank and combat vehicle force to encircle this unknown tank armored force, and at the same time, the infantry of all divisions and regiments should also quickly move forward, and the support of the combat vehicle unit is to fully mobilize our land-based and sea-based aviation units to attack this armored unit from the air and assist the ground tank unit to annihilate it!" Ishihara made a deployment calmly and quickly.

"Okay, just do what Ishihara-kun said!" Itagaki Seishiro, who had almost obeyed Ishihara's words, immediately nodded in agreement, and asked the staff officers to quickly prepare a telegram and send it to each guard division.

After receiving the order, the major Guards divisions began to operate one after another, and the fastest was the tank search wing directly under the three divisions and a group of armored vehicle units under Tokyo.

The three vehicle search wings, together with the tanks and armored vehicles assembled in the country, exceeded the number of tanks and armored vehicles by a staggering 300.

This is the first time since the Meiji Restoration that such a huge number of tanks and armored vehicles have been on the scale, so Chishiba Yaezo, who was in charge of the unified command of the armored troops' operations, sat in a Type 97 tank tank, and his heart couldn't help but feel a lot of pride.

Commanding such a large scale of chariot and armored troops in battle is enough to make any officer of the army extremely excited and excited.

Akashiba Yaezo is one of them, and in his opinion, no matter how many opponents there are, they can only be wiped out under the torrent of their own huge number of tanks and combat vehicles.

At the same time, Qiao Anbang also led a tank assault force composed of 166 Leopard tanks to speed south along the road, and all the tank armored vehicles were planted with the blue sky and white flags representing the middle [***] at this time.

Steel is like a forest, flags are fluttering, smoke and dust are billowing, and they are rumbling forward.

Sitting in the Leopard tank, Qiao Anbang was also very excited, and at the same time, he was looking forward to what would happen when the army's tofu scum tank met his own Leopard tank cluster?

At this moment, a piercing engine roar suddenly sounded in the distant sky, and the machine gunners on the tank immediately discovered the abnormality, and hurriedly shouted in horror and warning: "It's a machine, it's an attack, it's an attack!" ”

"All units are ready for air defense, all tanks are dispersed and advance at full speed and enter the woods to get rid of enemy aircraft!" Joan, who was sitting in the radio position, picked up the wireless walkie-talkie and gave an order to all the tanks.
