In the distance, the little devil Reading Li, who was heading in the direction of Qinhuangdao, was mixed into the 79th Brigade, with thousands of people in the mighty way, trotting forward.

In the team of little devils, there are only dozens of big trucks, all of which are crawling with little devils, and those who can't get on the big trucks are running hard with their legs open.

The brigade commander of the little devil, Takemori Shoichi, was sitting in an armored car at this time, and in the distance, there was a faint rumbling sound of cannons, which kept coming into the ears of Takemori Shoichi.

Takemori thought for a while, it seems that the 1st Tank Brigade is engaged with the 36th Army, but I don't know what the situation is, but judging from the intensity of the artillery, the two sides must be in a fierce battle.

If his troops catch up at this time, they may be able to help a little, Takemori thought for a while, his troops have brought more than a dozen 37mm anti-aircraft guns.

These 37mm anti-aircraft guns are all German-made PAK37 anti-aircraft guns, weighing more than 400 kilograms, which need to be towed by a car and require 5 to 6 personnel to be used.

In order to deal with the tanks of the 36th Army, before departure, Takemori Shoichi specially applied to the Kwantung Army Headquarters for more than a dozen 37-mm anti-aircraft guns.

Considering that the 36th Army did have a lot of tanks, this time, the Kwantung Army Command was very cheerful and met this request of Shoichi Takemori.

Now, the 79th Brigade of the Little Devil Reading Force is less than 10 kilometers away from the combat area in front, and according to the speed of the Little Devil's march, it can be reached in about an hour.

Thinking of his more than a dozen battle defense guns, Takemori Masaichi had a little confidence in his heart, and thought in his heart that even if he encountered the chariots of the 36th Group Army, he could fight a dozen of them.

As for the battle situation ahead, Takemori Shoichi did not think badly, Takemori Shoichi knew that the First Tank Brigade was equipped with a lot of Type 97 medium tanks, and no matter how bad it was, it should not be defeated.

Shoichi Takemori even thinks that the current 1st Tank Brigade should have the upper hand, and as long as he is rushing over, using these anti-aircraft guns will definitely help the 1st Tank Brigade.

It seems that the First Brigade of the Combat Vehicles of the little devils is still full of confidence, and they are also full of confidence in the Type 97 tank.

"Order the troops, speed up the march!"

Shoichi Takemori's voice was quick and full of confidence.

When the little devil reading force mixed into the 79th Brigade, under the order of Takemori Shoichi, accelerated the advance of the army, the first brigade of the little devil chariot was almost annihilated.

At this time, the two tank regiments had a large number of tanks, and the little devil's remaining less than fifty combat vehicles were enclosed in an area of less than one square kilometer.

The little devils in the encirclement, seeing that most of the chariots of their own troops were destroyed, and even their own brigade commanders were killed, and the morale of these remaining little devils was very low and fell to the freezing point.

Some little devils are even completely desperate, and there are also some little devils, who don't know what's wrong, suddenly remembered their wives and children, and couldn't help crying.

"I don't want to die, I'm going to surrender!"

A lot of little devils shouted frantically in their hearts.

As soon as the little devils had this idea, they immediately took action, and many tanks and armored vehicles stopped, and a little devil crawled out of these tanks with a gray face and raised his hands.

"Look! The little devils seem to have surrendered. ”

The soldiers of the mechanized infantry regiment who were watching the battle from a distance, at this time, saw the actions of the little devil, and everyone shouted in surprise.

The soldiers didn't expect that at the last moment, the little devils were not stubborn, but surrendered one after another, and the soldiers of the tank regiment were also a little incredulous when they saw the little devils get out of the chariot and raise their hands high.

Some of the fighters who were about to open the cannon also stopped firing when they saw the little devils surrendering, and the roof covers of some Type 39 tanks were even opened at this time, and the soldiers stuck their heads out of the top of the tanks with relish, watching the little devils surrender.

The two commanders of the 1st and 2nd Tank Regiments, when they saw the little devils surrendering, immediately ordered several teams of soldiers to come up and drive the little devils to an open space and tie them up......

Command of the 36th Army.

After receiving the telegram from the 5th column, everyone in the command was overjoyed, this time, it was another big victory, and the 1st Brigade of the Combat Vehicle, the vanguard of the little devils, was completely annihilated.

Not only did the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil's Combat Vehicle completely annihilate, but it also captured nearly 50 Little Devil tanks, including more than 20 Type 97 medium tanks, more than a dozen Type 92 light tanks, and several armored vehicles of the Little Devils.

In addition, more than 200 little devils were captured, which could be used to build Qinhuangdao Airport.

Although Zhang Yunfei can't look down on these captured little devil tanks and armored vehicles, it is also the first time that so many little devil tanks have been captured, and he is also in a good mood.

Comrade Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief, was also overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, this time, a chariot brigade of the vanguard of the little devils can be very good at killing the little devils. ”

Zhang Yunfei nodded, however, in order to kill the little devil's spirit and hit the morale of the little devil to a great extent, Zhang Yunfei's purpose is more than that, Zhang Yunfei also wants to eat the little devil's reading power and mix it into the 79th Brigade.

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, "Comrades, we have just annihilated the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil's Chariot, and the 79th Brigade of the Little Devil's Reading Power Mixed into the Door has been sent to the door again, if we can completely annihilate the Little Devil's Brigade this time, and capture a little more Little Devil, we will have all the free labor to build the airport." ”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng, deputy director of the General Political Department, was overjoyed and immediately reported: "Commander-in-chief, the site selection of Qinhuangdao Airport has been completed, and it is determined that it is in the northern suburbs, more than 20 kilometers away from the coast in a straight line, and the construction will start tomorrow." ”

"Good! Not bad. Zhang Yunfei nodded, "All the more than 200 little devils captured today will be escorted to the Qinhuangdao Airport construction site for forced labor." ”

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, who had been looking at the map, also raised his head and said: "Commander-in-chief, our 4th Column's tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment will be able to reach Liujiaji in another hour, and we can immediately cut off the retreat of the little devil's reading power mixed into the 79th Brigade." ”

Zhang Yunfei patted the table gently, "Comrades, without further ado, immediately send a report to the 5th Column, and take advantage of the victory to attack the little devil Reading Power to mix into the 79th Brigade." In addition, tell everyone to pay attention to air defense and guard against the planes of the little devils. ”

At present, the little devil Kwantung Army is equipped with a large number of aircraft, the total number has reached several hundred, much more than the North China Front, this time, the Kwantung Army has suffered such a big loss, the little devil may send planes to retaliate.

When everyone saw Zhang Yunfei say this, they also paid attention to it, the number of aircraft of the Kwantung Army was indeed quite large, and it was also equipped with dozens of advanced Zero fighters......

Command of the Kwantung Army.

After receiving the farewell message from the 1st Tank Brigade, many officers in the Little Devil Command were shocked.

In the hearts of many little devils Kwantung Army officers, the little devils all thought that the combat effectiveness of the 36th Group Army should be above the [***] elite Central Army, and it may be comparable to the combat effectiveness of some of their own troops.

But I didn't think about it, this time the 36th Group Army slapped these little devil officers in the face loudly, and many little devils felt extremely uncomfortable in their hearts, and in the hearts of the little devils, they thought that their troops were world-class and the first in Asia.

The little devils believe that no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the 36th Group Army is, its combat effectiveness should be limited, and there is still a certain gap between it and the Great Imperial Army.

The little devils are really arrogant and ignorant, this time, they paid a heavy price for their ignorance, and a tank brigade was wiped out.

The little devil Umezu Mijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, walked around without saying a word with a gloomy face, although Umezu Mijiro didn't speak for the time being, but there was already a monstrous wave in his heart.

In such a short period of time, the 1st Tank Brigade was completely wiped out, which made Umezu Mijiro begin to re-examine the 36th Army, and also began to pay attention to the 36th Army thoroughly.

Now, in the heart of Umezu Mijiro, the 36th Army has risen to the height of a real opponent, before, Umezu Mijiro still simply thought that he sent troops, just according to the orders of the base camp, to reinforce the North China Front, from the heart, Umezu Mijiro did not really pay attention.

This time, I didn't expect that the 36th Group Army would not only annihilate one of its vanguard troops, the 1st Tank Brigade, but also dispatch so many tanks.

If the First Brigade of Tanks can be completely annihilated in such a short period of time, there are at least several hundred tanks of the 36th Group Army, at least not as few as the First Brigade of Tanks.

In the command, Umezu Mijiro thought about it for a long time and thought a lot.

After a long time, Umezu Yoshijiro issued a series of orders, ordering the 79th Brigade to retreat 50 kilometers, and then defend on the spot; ordered the three subsequent divisions to speed up the march; The Air Force was ordered to send three squadrons to strike at the huge tank units of the 36th Army.

In addition, Umezu Mijiro is also preparing to transfer the strength of two more divisions to reinforce the North China Front, and by reassessing the strength of the 36th Army, Umezu Mijiro believes that he completely underestimated the 36th Army at the beginning, and the strength of the three divisions may still be too small.
