When the team of the 5th Column was advancing in the direction of Huludao and facing the little devils, the mechanized troops of the 4th Column had already left Chengde for dozens of kilometers.

At this time, the two tank regiments and mechanized infantry regiments of the 4th Column, along the valley in the Chengde area and along the dirt roads in the mountains, were marching towards Liujiaji between Qinhuangdao and Huludao.

Liujiaji is about 60 kilometers away from Qinhuangdao and nearly 100 kilometers away from Huludao, which is a very suitable location, you can flank the vanguard of the little devils in the direction of Qinhuangdao, and you can block the large army of the little devils from going south in the direction of Huludao.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

After nearly an hour's march, the two tank regiments of the vanguard of the 5th Column had already left Wanjia Town and drove nearly 30 kilometers in the direction of Huludao.

In the sky, you can occasionally see several Mustang fighters of the 36th Group Army carrying out reconnaissance missions, and the marching movements of the little devil troops, and these Mustang fighters constantly tell the ground troops of the 5th column.

Knowing that the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Tank was less than 5 kilometers in front of him, the commanders of the two tank regiments immediately ordered their troops. "Comrades, keep in battle formation, and expect to encounter the little devil in about ten minutes."

Hearing the order of his regiment commander, all the combat vehicles of the two tank regiments immediately set up a battle formation, and two or three kilometers behind the two tank regiments were the huge convoys of two mechanized infantry regiments.

The battle formation of the two tank regiments, as wide as one or two kilometers, roared forward, and many soldiers, hearing that they would soon encounter the first brigade of the little devil's tank, were all heavy and calm.

The commanders of all tanks and armored vehicles, looking carefully ahead, tried to see the figure of the little devil fighting vehicle.

It didn't take long for the first few Type 39 tanks to find the movement of the little devil tank in the distance, and in the distance, there were a lot of small black spots, obviously, that was the little devil's chariot.

"Report to the company commander! The shadow of the little devil chariot was found directly ahead, about 1,500 meters away. ”

The platoon commander of a tank platoon saw the little devil tank and immediately reported it to his company commander.

In less than a minute, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and many fighters saw the little devil tank in front, and the gunners of the tank, through the scope, aimed at the little devil's chariot.

Obviously, the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Tank also spotted a tank group about 1 kilometer in front of it, and many tanks of the Little Devil began to stop, probably aiming at the fighters' tanks.

The main weapon of the little devil's tank, whether it is a Type 92 light tank or a Type 97 medium tank, is generally a 37mm gun, and if you need to shoot, you must stop and aim and shoot.

The commander of the Little Devil Brigade, Takahashi Toji, saw that in the distance, a large number of tank groups of the 36th Army appeared, and the number was no less than his own tanks.

Takahashi Fujiji's heart was slightly excited, it had been a long time since such a large-scale battle, and it seemed that he could get his wish today.

As a war fanatic, Takahashi Fujiji has long wanted to compete with the tanks of the 36th Group Army, and today, seeing so many tanks of the 36th Group Army, how can Takahashi Fujiji not be excited.

In addition to being excited, Takahashi Fujiji still did not forget his duty, that is, to command the battle, so Takahashi Fujiji immediately ordered the flag soldiers to attack with all his might.

The little devil's tank does not have an inter-vehicle radio communication system, and the command of the combat vehicle generally relies on the flag language and password, and the little devils also fight by watching the flag or the battlefield situation.

Many little devil tanks, seeing the flag of all-out attack, the little devils slowed down one after another, ready to stop and aim at the Chinese tanks that were getting closer and closer on the opposite side to fire.

Takahashi saw that the tanks of the 36th Army in the distance did not slow down, but were still driving at high speed, and looked at his tanks again, many tanks had stopped, obviously, aiming at the tanks of the 36th Army opposite.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Takahashi's face, as if he saw the dawn of victory, and he couldn't help but shout happily, "Yo Xi!" ”

Takahashi believes that now that he has completely taken the initiative, many of his tanks are already preparing for aiming, and they can fire immediately.

The tanks of the 36th Group Army on the opposite side were still driving at high speed, without the slightest intention of stopping, and when the tanks of the 36th Group Army stopped and opened fire again, their own tanks would definitely have completed the first round of firing, and they would definitely be able to destroy many tanks of the 36th Group Army.

In Takahashi Toji's heart, he always believed that the tanks of the 36th Army also had to stop before they could aim and fire, and he completely failed to realize that the tanks of the 36th Army could fire while driving.

At this moment, Takahashi Fujiji cupped, and the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Chariot was taken by surprise.

The two commanders of the 1st and 2nd Tank Regiments of the 5th Column, seeing that many of the tanks they were driving in front of them were less than a thousand meters away from the little devils, immediately gave a decisive order.

"Fire!"

With this order, quite a few tanks began to fire.

I saw that at least two dozen tanks in front of the team began to shoot, and the thick 75-mm barrel flashed with fire, and fired the first shot at the tank of the little devil in the distance.

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

An explosion rang out in the chariot group of the little devils.

I saw that the tanks of the little devils were beaten miserably, either the turret was knocked off by a single shot, or a big hole was punched, and there were two tanks of the little devils, I don't know whether they were hit by the fuel tank or the ammunition box, and after a violent explosion, they began to burn in place.

The commander of the little devil brigade, seeing that the tanks of the 36th Group Army were actually firing while driving, his mouth was wide open, and the shock in his heart could not be described in words, and it took a long time for the commander of the little devil brigade to react.

When the commander of the Little Devil Brigade reacted, in less than a minute, at least a dozen Little Devil Tanks were directly reimbursed, and the Little Devil Brigade was so heartbroken that it almost vomited blood.

Immediately, the commander of the Little Devil Brigade, Takahashi Fujiji, shouted angrily: "Fight back!" Counterattack! ”

But the little devils don't have an inter-vehicle radio communication system, and the little devils basically can't hear Takahashi Fujiji's shouting, only a few flag soldiers next to him, seeing that their brigade is shouting, still play the flag of counterattack.

The soldiers of the tank regiment saw that the little devil's tank was vulnerable to the 75-mm main gun of their own tank, and their hearts suddenly lightened and they cheered.

Although you have not dealt with the Type 97 medium tank of the little devil, it seems that the Type 97 medium tank is not much stronger than the Type 92 light tank, and it still cannot resist the power of the Type 39 75mm main gun.

At this time, more and more Type 39 tanks began to approach the tank group of the little devils, and everyone was ready to open fire, and the thick muzzles of the Type 39 tanks were aimed at the tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils.

The little devils in the distance, seeing that they had not yet opened fire, their tanks had lost more than a dozen, and the little devils immediately began to fight back.

Quite a few little devils' tanks began to aim at the Type 39 tanks in the distance and fire.

The sound of artillery sounded in the group of little devils' tanks, and at least twenty or thirty little devil tanks began to fire, and one shell after another, heading straight for the Type 39 tanks in the distance.

The little devil took aim in place for a long time, and this time the shells were also relatively accurate, and most of the shells hit the Type 39 tanks that were moving.

Many little devils, seeing that the tanks of the 36th Group Army were shot one after another, the little devils almost cheered, thinking in their hearts, the tanks of the 36th Group Army are too easy to deal with, and they will hit one by one.

In fact, the 36th Group Army basically followed a straight line and came straight to the chariot group of the little devils, and there was basically no evasion of rules and no serpentine maneuvers, so the accuracy of the little devils was so high.

The brigade commander of the little devil saw that at least twenty tanks of the 36th Army had been shot in the distance, and immediately shouted with joy, and even waved his fist twice in the air.

The commander of the Little Devil Brigade swept away Gao Cai's depressed mood, and the commander of the Little Devil Brigade believed that although he had lost more than a dozen tanks just now, this time, at least 20 tanks of the 36th Group Army had hit, and the losses of the 36th Group Army were greater than his own.

The commander of the little devil brigade thinks that it is worth exchanging a dozen tanks for two dozen tanks of the other side!

But the good mood of the little devil's brigade commander didn't last a few seconds, and the next scene made the little devil's brigade commander stunned, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

I saw that in the distance, the smoke of gunpowder had cleared, and the tanks of the 36th Group Army that had been shot were still driving there at high speed, and there were basically no losses, only the bodies of a few tanks had a small pit.

Oh my God, you're playing with me! The commander of the little devil brigade shouted in his heart.

Not only did the brigade commander of the little devils not believe the scene in front of him, but many of the little devils who had just fired the cannon also rubbed their glasses vigorously in the tank, thinking that their glasses were spent.

The little devil's tank is five or six hundred meters away from the tanks of the 36th Group Army, and the distance is nearly a thousand meters, and the 37 mm small gun of the little devil can penetrate the thick alloy armor of the Type 39 tank at such a long distance, it would be a strange thing.

What's more, the armor of the Type 39 tank still has an oblique angle, and the shells hit by the little devils are not only easy to produce "ricochets", but also double the thickness of the armor.
