At this time, due to the transfer of a large number of troops to the Pacific theater, although the total number of troops has not decreased, the level of weapons and equipment has greatly decreased.

With the outbreak of the Pacific War, the main divisions of the Kwantung Army were gradually transferred to the Pacific Front, supplemented by a large number of second-class divisions and even third-class divisions.

Although the strength of the Kwantung Army reached more than 20 divisions and regiments, about 700,000 people, the increase in the total number of the Kwantung Army was only a superficial expansion, and the weapons and equipment were seriously insufficient.

As one of the only two heavy artillery brigades of the Kwantung Army, the Kwantung Army's First Heavy Artillery Brigade reinforced from Changchun to the south, the Kwantung Army attached great importance to it, and the marching sequence of the First Heavy Artillery Brigade was relatively backward.

At present, the Kwantung Army, in terms of artillery, has two heavy artillery brigades and seven mountain artillery wings, and these seven mountain artillery wings are basically several divisions and regiments affiliated with relatively strong combat effectiveness, such as the 39th Division, which has a mountain artillery wing, equipped with 12 mountain artillery guns with a caliber of 75 mm.

However, this mountain artillery wing of the 39th Division of the little devil was completely blown up by the flying group yesterday.

In addition to these artillery, the little devils are left with the 92-type infantry artillery brigade of each division and regiment, or the mortar squadron and other artillery teams, although the Kwantung Army claims to have hundreds of cannons, but most of them are small-caliber mountain artillery, 92-type infantry guns and mortars, and so on.

Such a cannon level is far from the 36th Group Army, which is also one of the reasons why Zhang Yunfei dared to attack the little devil Kwantung Army.

At this time. The 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery is marching slowly, although the Little Devil Heavy Artillery Brigade is equipped with a large number of trucks, but the heavy artillery of the Little Devil is very heavy, and the marching speed is not fast at all.

The marching contingent of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery Brigade stretched for two or three kilometers, only a few kilometers in front of the ranks of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery Brigade. There is also a marching force the size of a small devil wing.

This little devil wing, not far from the heavy artillery brigade, one of the main purposes is to be in times of need. The 1st Brigade of Heavy Artillery that can protect the little devils.

Major General Saburo Yano, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery, was in the cab of a large truck at this time, and Saburo Yano liked to ride in a truck. The cab of the truck has a wide view and is breathable, unlike an armored car, where you sit in it and have a small field of vision.

Yano Saburo looked outside, his long marching procession, one by one giant cannon, looked very spectacular, Yano Saburo couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

As the only two major heavy artillery brigades of the Kwantung Army, Saburo Yano's heart is proud. As an artilleryman, Yano Saburo has also heard many times about the heavy artillery group of the 36th Group Army, and this time he went south, Yano Saburo was ready to engage in a head-on battle with the heavy artillery group of the 36th Group Army.

Saburo Yano is full of confidence and has enough confidence. Striking hard at the heavy artillery group of the 36th Group Army, the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery was equipped with dozens of 155-mm heavy howitzers.

The 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery is marching slowly, and the 1st Tank Regiment of the 4th Column, with more than 100 combat vehicles, is rapidly approaching the Little Devil's marching team.

A regiment of tanks. Two tank battalions, one mixed battalion, soon after departure, the soldiers divided into three ways and rushed straight towards the little devils.

This time, the tactics of the fighters were to pinch the head and remove the tail, first hit the front and rear trucks of the little devil's marching team, and destroy the front and last trucks of the little devil's team, and the little devil heavy artillery brigade would have nowhere to escape.

It is impossible for the little devil's truck to get off the highway and escape from the plain next to the highway, each of the little devil's heavy guns weighs several tons, as long as he gets off the road, the little devil's heavy artillery will fall into the mud, and in addition, it is impossible for the little devil's truck to leave the road.

The soldiers were divided into three ways, getting closer and closer to the position of the first brigade of the little devil's heavy artillery, and in less than a while, many soldiers could see the long marching procession of the little devil ahead.

"Comrades! Get up to speed. The commander of the 1st Tank Regiment, seeing that the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil's Heavy Artillery was not far ahead, immediately shouted into his wireless telephone microphone, "First destroy a few trucks in front of and behind the Little Devil's team, this time, our goal is to completely annihilate the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil's Heavy Artillery." ”

Hearing the order of their regiment commander, many soldiers agreed loudly, and the soldiers were full of confidence.

In the distance, the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery is marching along the road, on both sides of the kilometer, there is an endless plain, with a wide field of vision, as the tanks of the 1st Regiment of Tanks approached, many little devils saw the tanks and armored vehicles of the soldiers.

"Your Excellency, it's not good!" The little devil truck driver screamed in horror. "Look! Tank group of the 36th Army. ”

"Yaga!" The commander of the Little Devil Brigade, Saburo Yano, also shouted, "Hurry up, it's the armored cluster of the 36th Army, order everyone to prepare for battle." ”

After shouting, as soon as the little devil's truck stopped, Yano Saburo eagerly pushed the door and got out of the car, and ran to his armored car not far away, for safety, Yano Saburo was still ready to get into the armored car, although Yano Saburo didn't like to ride in an armored car very much.

Many little devils, looking at the tank in the distance, are driving over, and the little devils are hurriedly jumping off the truck, ready to fight.

Although there are nearly 2,000 people in the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery, most of these little devils are artillerymen, with low field combat capabilities, and the weapons they are equipped with are mainly Type 38 rifles, in addition, there are a small number of Wang Ba box pistols, and they are equipped with very few machine guns.

The commander of the Little Devil Division got into his armored car, and heard several explosions outside, and the commander of the Little Devil Brigade thought to himself, the tanks of the 36th Group Army had opened fire.

True, at this time, several tank regiments of Type 39 tanks had already opened fire.

I saw several Type 39 tanks, firing at several large trucks at the front of the little devil team, and the thick barrels of these tanks flashed, and in the distance, several explosions were heard.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Several explosions sounded in front of the little devil team, and several trucks in front of the little devil team were immediately destroyed, and many little devils who had not had time to get out of the car were also directly killed.

The little devil trucks that were hit burned in place, turning into piles of scrap metal and wreckage, completely blocking the road, and the trucks behind the little devils could no longer move forward.

At the same time, at the back of the little devil's marching team, several trucks were also fatally hit, and several Type 39 tanks also opened fire on several trucks at the back of the little devil's team.

Several violent explosions sounded, and the little devil's trucks were completely scrapped, blocking the road where the little devil retreated, and the little devil's long line, more than 100 trucks, and dozens of cannons were blocked on the highway.

This is the tactic of the fighters to pinch their heads and tails, destroy several trucks in front of and behind the little devil team, and the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery will have nowhere to escape.

The brigade commander of the little devil, Saburo Yano, saw that the tanks of the 36th Army had opened fire in the distance, and immediately said anxiously: "How is our situation?" ”

Yano Saburo felt that it was not the best strategy to defend on the spot, but the huge armored cluster of the 36th Army in the distance rushed straight over, and all he could do was to defend, although his own artillery would definitely not take advantage of the opponent's hard work.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, our situation is very bad, the trucks in front and behind our team have been devastated, blocking the roads in front of and behind us."

"Yaga!" Yano Saburo was extremely angry in his heart, but he didn't expect that the armored cluster of the 36th Group Army would hit his own vital point as soon as he came up, completely cutting off his front and rear roads.

The commander of the armored cluster of the 36th Group Army is definitely a master, and at the same time, Yano Saburo also thought in his heart, the other party did not want to annihilate his own heavy artillery brigade in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Saburo Yano suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Quick! Hurry up and call for help! Call the field infantry wing in front to rush back for reinforcements. "Saburo Yano knew that it would be difficult to resist with his own artillery brigade alone.

Distance.

The large tanks and armored vehicles of the 1st Tank Regiment were only 3 or 400 meters away from the ranks of the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery.

The fighters kept a safe distance of several hundred meters from the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Heavy Artillery, and did not continue to advance, and the target of everyone's attack was a field heavy artillery brigade, and this heavy artillery brigade of the Little Devil must have carried a large number of shells.

If the fighters get too close, in case a large number of shells loaded on the little devil's truck detonate, then the fighters are in danger.

"Comrades! Free shot on the spot! Seeing that the soldiers stopped about three or four hundred meters away from the little devil according to their prior orders, the commander of the first tank regiment immediately shouted loudly into his microphone.

After receiving the order of his regiment commander, many tanks and armored vehicles opened fire one after another, and the main guns of the Type 39 tanks, one shell after another, constantly hit the ranks of the little devils, and many little devil trucks were shot one after another.

A large number of Type 39 armored personnel carriers, with 30-mm cannons on board, also fired fiercely at the long line of little devils.

Violent explosions sounded in the ranks of the little devils, Type 39 tanks and Type 39 armored personnel carriers, most of which were used with high-explosive shells, which had great lethality against the little devils.
