As early as 1927, the Japanese began to try to produce tanks, but for a long time, the Japanese army's operational thinking has always been to divide the tank wing into various field divisions (much like the practice of Europe and France at that time). Until 1934, the Guan Dong Army first became the first mechanized brigade of the Duli mixed group, groping and trying to concentrate on the centralized operation of tanks and armored vehicles. In the later Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Nanchang, and the Battle of Nomengkan, the Japanese army all had records of using tank assault tactics intensively.

Later, in June 1941, Yamashita led an army inspection team of the Japanese army to Europe to inspect the operations and battlefields of the German and Italian armies in Europe. The German motorized infantry, armored group, and bomber group fought together, and the strong combat power displayed by the German army left a deep impression on the members of the Yamashita Fengwen delegation at that time. Immediately after the members of the delegation returned to the Japanese mainland, they proposed to concentrate on the use of tanks and form an army.

Soon after, the Japanese army launched the so-called Great Eastern Ya Holy War, and in Malaya, the Philippines and Burma, the Japanese army also used chariot units, and in these wars, the Japanese army top brass also deeply felt the need to concentrate the chariot units that were originally scattered and used, so as to give full play to the rapid mobility characteristics of the chariots. On June 24, 1942, the base camp of the Japanese army officially ordered the formation of the Mecha Army, with Yoshida Tokushi as the commander, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tank divisions and the tank teaching brigade under it. Among them, the first and second chariot divisions and the chariot teaching brigade are all subordinate to the battle sequence of the Guan Dong Army, but the third chariot division belongs to the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the third chariot division is the treasure bump of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army.

Target plane, June 17, 1943, at half past four in the morning, Baotou City, northwest of the Yanhuang Continent, the barracks of the soldiers of the 3rd Tank Division.

"Di~~Di~~~" With the sound of an emergency wake-up whistle, the lights in each barracks were lit one after another, and the soldiers of the Japanese Army who got up from the bed, after putting on their uniforms with their eyes glazed, quickly ran to the training field, and soon, with the squadron as a unit, the troops were assembled. After the officers of the Japanese army read the orders of the division commanders to the various teams, the Japanese soldiers on the cāo field quickly returned to their houses, put their guns on their backs, brought enough ammunition, and ran in the direction of their respective wings' assembly areas.

"Ono-kun, what do you say is going on, why did the weak Yanhuang army dare to attack Guisui County in the hinterland of the empire's occupied area this time." A short, white-skinned, flat-eyed soldier with some goldfish eyes asked his colleague.

"Takahashi-kun, how many times have I said that although the Imperial army is strong, the Imperial soldiers are not invulnerable, even if we wear a thousand sewn (a product of the superstition of the Japanese Kou, a special amulet. It is called a thousand sewing because it requires a thousand women to sew one stitch each. After each of the 1,000 passing women sewed a stitch, they gave it to the soldiers of the Japanese army as an amulet, and the Japanese soldiers believed that it brought good luck, such as dodging bullets, and if they were hit by bullets, they would still be martyred. Although the Yan Huang people are cowardly and usually scattered, they are forced to a desperate situation, and they will fight hard when it comes to life and death, and they will burst out with a counterattack force that exceeds our expectations! The sword is only most intimidating when it hangs overhead, and if it falls without completely killing the enemy, it will only bring the enemy a frantic counterattack. The tall Ono Sawaji calmly checked the equipment on his body while patiently answering the questions of his comrades.

"Or Ono-kun, you know more, you deserve to be a person who has studied in high school." Xing Ge simple Takahashi Risa said with a smile.

"I just don't have any sense of identity about starting this war, and if I could, my wish would be to finish high school and not come here to be a soldier, but to go to college for a history course." Maybe it's because the expedition is imminent.,Ono Zeji, who usually speaks little.,Suddenly talked a lot.。

"Don't worry, Ono-kun, the enemy doesn't have armored vehicles there, and there are very few artillery, you just need to load the turret with shells and calmly destroy the enemy target. I'll drive the armored car steadily, so that you don't feel uncomfortable, and it will be easy for you to aim. Xing cheerful Takahashi Risa continued to talk heartlessly.

"I hope so, Takahashi-kun, I really hope that the war will end soon, and then I will return to my homeland with you in peace. Okay, let's get in the car together! Onozawaji replied.

"Hey!!"

At five o'clock in the morning on June 17, with the opening of the west gate and the east gate of Baotou in turn, two Japanese troops set off one after another, one quickly marched eastward to help Guisui, and the other went to Fu Zuoyi's nest, Suiyuan Wuyuan County to kill.

Tuoketuo in the east of Baotou, located in the middle of Baotou and Guisui, is the place where reinforcements must pass, and it is also the assembly place of the main force of the third column of the Yanhuanghong Party. At this time, the temporary command of the third column - inside an armored command vehicle.

"Report, Commander, Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army has started the campaign to attack Guisui (today's Hohhot) half an hour ago, and there is no further news so far!" Said the telegraph operator, who was sitting in front of the transmitter.

"Okay, keep an eye on it at any time, report the latest battle situation immediately, and at the same time, order the reconnaissance troops on the periphery of Baotou to report as soon as there is an enemy situation." The commander of the third column, Chen Yi, ordered.

"Yes!"

"Boss, it is estimated that the devil has almost received the news, it depends on whether Fu Zuoyi's attack goes smoothly, and the devil in Guisui will seek help from the enemy army who does not go to Baotou." Deputy Commander Su Yu, who was sitting on the side of the car, said.

"Yes, Fu Zuoyi hurt the enemy in Guisui, and it is possible for the little devils in Baotou to send reinforcements, and only in this way, in the open area on the marching road, is also the best place for our armored division to give full play to its equipment advantages, if it becomes a strong attack on Baotou County, although for us, there is no big problem, but street fighting is not the strength of tanks and armored vehicles after all, and it may cause relatively large losses." Chief of Staff Chen Shiqu added.

"Don't worry, Guisui only has the strength of the two duli infantry brigades of the little devil duli mixed with the 2nd brigade, and there are only 2 or 3,000 men and horses in the sky, plus there are not too many people in Jingcha, so as to fight more and less, plus the night raid, if you can't attack it, I'm too sorry for Fu Zuoyi's reputation for good fighting." Mr. Chen, who had a spectrum in his heart, said methodically.

"Well, I agree, it's just that this battle is the opening battle of our three columns, and I'm really a little anxious." Chief of Staff Chen Shiqu was happy for a moment, and then said.

About half an hour later, the third column received news that the troops stationed in Mongolia had been divided into two routes, one way to help Gui Sui, and the other to the direction of Suiyuan Wuyuan County.

"The little devil finally sent troops, it seems that Liangfu's ambition last month is not small, not only wants to relieve the siege of Suizhi, but also plans to end the back road and nest of Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army by the way." Deputy Commander Su Yu said.

"Boss, we have no problem here, but I'm worried about Dong Qiwu's 101st Division, they don't have too many anti-tank armored vehicles to fight defense guns, hard top, it is estimated that the casualties of the troops will be very large, or let's transfer the new 9th Division over to support, here is the 7th Armored Division, plus the assistance of the New Eighth Infantry Division, the strength is enough!" Chief of Staff Chen Shiqu suggested.

"Well, you're right! Dong Qiwu is also a man, he has never been soft and vague in killing little devils, and he can't let them sacrifice in vain, so he ordered the New Ninth Division to immediately approach the 101st Division in the Hangjin Banner area and rush to the aid of Dong Qiwu's department! After a little thought, Mr. Chen ordered.

"Yes!" After Chen Shiqu, chief of staff, answered, he quickly opened the door and jumped out of the car to give an order to the new Ninth Division.

"Okay, the stage is set, the devil is on the field, now it's time for us to make the finale!" After Chief of Staff Chen Shiqu left, Mr. Chen glanced at the military map again, and then ordered: "Order the Seventh Armored Division to form a battle formation, wait for work, and wait for the arrival of the little devil!" ”

"Yes!" Deputy Commander Su Yu replied.

About an hour later, in the Tuoketuo area in the east of Baotou, the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Tank Division of the Wakou Yanhuang Dispatch Army (under the jurisdiction of the 8th and 12th Wing of the Tank) and the 6th Brigade of the Duli Mixed Army formed a rescue force, which was heading towards Guisui in a mighty way.

The entire 5th Tank Brigade and the 8th and 12th Tank Wings, Search Team, Motorized Infantry Wing, Mobile Artillery Wing, Speed Artillery Brigade and other troops. Thereinto:

Each tank wing is composed of a Type 95 light tank squadron, three Type 97 tank squadrons, a Type 97 tank squadron and a maintenance squadron; Each tank wing has 73 vehicles of various types and 27 other vehicles, for a total of 100 vehicles.

The search team consisted of two squadrons of light tanks, one squadron of medium tanks, one squadron of vehicles and a rearmament team.

The motorized infantry wing has 3 troop brigades (each brigade has three squadrons and one machine gun squadron), an artillery squadron directly under the wing (41 type 75mm mountain gun) and a maintenance squadron, with about 900 people in the whole wing, 22 combat vehicles and 280 vehicles of various types.

The 3rd Mobile Artillery Wing consists of a mobile field artillery group (12 Type 90 75mm field guns), a mobile howitzer group (12 Type 91 100mm howitzers) and a maintenance squadron.

The Turbo Artillery Corps is armed with a 47mm anti-tank gun (a chariot gun or anti-aircraft gun).

At this time, Onozawa stayed in the turret, bored looking at the scenery in the shè strike, at this time Takahashi Risa in the driving compartment, was gathering jing to drive the ninety-seven type chariot, with a string willing to study jing shen, Takahashi Risa's driving skills can be ranked in the whole division, the chariot travels very smoothly, and only the slightest bump can be felt.

At this time, it was already more than six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was already bright, and you could clearly see the scenery ahead.

"Nani? What are those? A Japanese soldier sitting on the top of the turret of a chariot raised his right arm, his four fingers clenched into fists, his index finger outstretched, and shouted as he pointed to the small black dots that appeared in the distance ahead.

Others soon noticed that some of them sat up from their positions leaning against the turret, snuffed out their cigarettes, held their steel helmets, and squinted into the distance.

"Is it reinforcements sent by the Guan Dong Army?" Also found an anomaly, opened the hatch, and leaned out of the body Onozawa asked.

At this time, not far from the vehicle where Onozawa was located, the hatch of a chariot in the Ninety-Seven Reform was also opened, and a man in the style of a Japanese officer leaned out, raised the binoculars on his chest, and took a closer look.

"Yamada Juncao, have you found out something?" Ono Zeji saw his boss and shouted loudly.

"I don't know, it's a little strange, I've never seen a model of a tank before!" After carefully observing it through the telescope for ten seconds, Guncao Yamada, who had no clue, replied.

In this way, the distance between the two ironclad torrents was getting closer and closer, and the Fifth Brigade of the Third Division of the Japanese Chariots, which felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, quickly issued an order to march forward, and the Japanese soldiers on the chariots jumped down one after another, and then more than 160 medium chariots in front and 50 light chariots in the rear, forming an attack formation and driving towards the unfamiliar chariot group in front. When the two sides entered the range of 10 kilometers in a straight line, to the surprise of the devils, the opponent's chariot opened fire first!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The sound of Type 59 tanks firing

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The sound of shells falling into the formation of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Tank in turn.

"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack!! "The soldiers of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Wako Chariot who found the wrong thing immediately sent a counterattack signal.

"How is it possible, they can actually hit shè from 10 kilometers away!" Ono Zeji, who has a flexible mind and is familiar with his chariot, couldn't help but be a little stunned and muttered to himself.

The 100mm rifled gun equipped with the Type 59 tank, the Yanhuang Red Liberation Type 1 tank, has a maximum penetration of 226 mm and a maximum range of 16 kilometers. At the same time, the turret armor of the Type 59 tank is 200, 130 and 60 mm in the front, side and rear, respectively; The front, side, and rear of the hull armor are 100, 80, and 45 mm, respectively, which feels quite thin from the data alone, right?

However, the current opponent of the Type 59 tank is not the third-generation main battle tank of the main plane, but the 1942 Imp Type 97 "Chiha" medium tank, which can penetrate 50 mm thick steel armor at a distance of 1,200 meters under the premise of using armor-piercing shells. And the armor of the Type 97 tank itself is only 30 mm thick at the thickest, not to mention the 100mm rifled gun of the Type 59 tank, even the 37mm anti-tank gun equipped by the Star-Spangled Banner army, which can easily penetrate it. Historically, when the little devil's Type 97 medium tank faced the M4 medium tank of the Star-Spangled Banner Army, the M4 medium tank could break through the Type 97 medium tank at 1000 meters, and the Type 97 medium tank had to be 200 meters away to penetrate the frontal armor of the M4 medium tank.

Thus, a tank battle that was doomed to abuse and abuse began.
