Major General Kazuo Matsumoto, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Little Devil Tank, looked at his huge group of tanks, and his confidence was extremely inflated, in the eyes of Kazuo Matsumoto, these tanks of his own were a very good tank, Kazuo Matsumoto was confident that he would defeat the 36th Group Army. Come on,.!

Even when encountering the tank group of the 36th Army, Kazuo Matsumoto was confident of defeating it.

Imp Tank No. 3, combat weight: 17.2t, armor thickness in front of hull: 30, armor thickness in front of turret: 30, armor thickness on hull side: 20, armor thickness on turret side: 20, armor type: alloy armor.

The structure adopts a welded structure; Speed: 39km/h; Cruising range: 220km; Engine: 115 hp Mitsubishi A6120VD 4-stroke 6-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine; Main guns: Type 1 45 tank gun; Auxiliary weapons: 7.7 machine guns, crew: 4.

With such performance, it is significantly better than the previous Type 97 tank of the little devil, no wonder, Matsumoto Kazuki is full of spirit and confidence.

The little devil doesn't know the tanks of the 36th Army too much, such a tank, in front of the Type 39 tank, is a scum, only abused.

The little devil's No. 3 tank, from development to production, has only been a few months, and it is a patchwork of goods in a hurry, and there is no word for development at all.

The commander of the little devil brigade, looking at his huge tank group, smiled, and was in a good mood.

"Where are we, and how far are we from the vanguard of the 36th Army?"

The commander of the Little Devil Brigade Kazuo Matsumoto. looked outside the car, and then asked the chief of staff beside him.

The chief of staff of the little devil had a straight face, and replied respectfully: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we are only a dozen kilometers away from the vanguard of the 36th Group. ”

"Yo Si! Sato-kun, this time we are going to crush the troops of the 36th Army head-on. ”

The chief of staff of the little devil, Jiro Sato, was still a little worried when he saw that his brigade commander was going to attack head-on. "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, according to our aerial reconnaissance, this unit of the Thirty-sixth Army. The vanguard has a large number of chariots, and shall we avoid their chariots and attack their infantry or artillery units in a roundabout way? ”

The commander of the Little Devil Brigade shook his head. The suggestion of the chief of staff of the little devil was not adopted at all, and this time, the 2nd Brigade of the Tank changed its shotgun for artillery, and all the latest tanks, and Kazuo Matsumoto wanted to confront the tank units of the 36th Group Army head-on.

Seeing that his brigade commander did not adopt his own suggestion, the chief of staff of the little devil was a little faintly worried in his heart, although the specific performance of the tanks of the 36th Group Army was not known, one thing was certain, the tanks of the 36th Group Army. The main gun is a circle larger than the main gun of your own tank, maybe 70 mm, and the main gun of your own tank is 45 mm, I don't know if you can beat the tanks of the 36th Army.

Hope to win, own tank armor. Compared with the previous Type 97 tank, it has been thickened a lot, and it is hoped that it can withstand the bombardment of the main guns of the 36th Group Army.

And the commander of the little devil brigade has long been extremely confident, and he doesn't care about how thick the tank main guns of the 36th Army are, and what he thinks about is to defeat the tank group of the 36th Army head-on. Since then, he has raised his eyebrows in the Kwantung Army.

********

The enemy situation in front was immediately reported to Liao Yaoxiang, the commander of the independent division, and seeing a large number of tanks of little devils more than ten kilometers ahead, Liao Yaoxiang guessed in his heart that this might be a chariot brigade of little devils.

The little devil actually appeared a chariot brigade, I really didn't think about it, it seems that the commander-in-chief's prediction is really accurate, and he predicted that the little devil might send a chariot brigade, and just now he sent a telegram to remind himself.

"Give an order to the tank regiment and order the tank regiment to take the initiative to attack and crush the tank group of the little devils head-on."

Liao Yaoxiang is also full of confidence in the performance of the Type 39 tank, as a top student of Huangpu and has studied abroad, Liao Yaoxiang has never heard of any country's tank as good as the Type 39 tank.

As for Little Japan's Douding Tank, it is not worth mentioning, although the intelligence shows that the little devil is already developing a new type of tank, but Liao Yaoxiang knows that the new tank of the little devil, even if it is raised on the basis of the existing Type 97 tank, or the more advanced Type 98 tank, it cannot compete with his own Type 39 tank.

The little devil's tank naturally cannot compete with the Type 39 tank, which was designed and produced by Zhang Yunfei on the basis of the T-34 tank of the Soviet Union in his previous life.

The Type 39 tank not only has excellent performance, but also has a lot of designs that are ahead of the times, and the important thing is that it is very difficult to produce and maintain, and in later generations, the Soviet Union produced more than 80,000 vehicles, although the production capacity of the 36th Army cannot be compared with the strong industrial base of the Soviet Union.

However, since the Type 39 tank was put into production, in more than a year, the 36th Army has produced nearly 2,000 units, which is also a relatively large number.

The chief of staff of the independent division next to him saw that Liao Yaoxiang had given the order to defeat the little devil tank group head-on, and his heart was also slightly excited, more than 100 little devil tanks, if they were defeated head-on by their own tank regiment, it would also be a big victory.

Soon, Liao Yaoxiang's order was issued to the tank regiment of the independent division, and after receiving the order, more than 100 tanks of the tank regiment met it.

The two tank battalions of the tank regiment acted as the main attack, and the mixed battalions cooperated in the operation.

In the vast northeast plain, the huge tank group of the tank regiment drove towards the position of the second brigade of the little devil's tank, two tank battalions, one left and one right, the mixed battalion was slightly behind, and the three battalions advanced in an inverted zigzag.

The commander of the tank regiment of the independent division, riding in his own armored command vehicle, also appeared to be full of ambition, and soon, a large-scale tank battle was about to begin, which was the first tank battle since the establishment of the independent division, and it was also the largest tank battle.

"Captain! Did the little devil really dispatch a tank brigade? ”

A guard next to him was also slightly excited when he learned that the little devil had dispatched a tank brigade and more than a hundred tanks, and asked his regiment commander.

Regiment Commander Ding nodded, "Xiao Wang, this time the little devil not only dispatched a chariot brigade, but the little devil didn't take us seriously at all, and the little devil was blatantly driving towards us. ”

Hearing this, several guards next to him were slightly angry in their hearts, and the guard Xiao Wang even said: "Regiment leader, the little devil is an old birthday star eating arsenic this time, he is simply looking for death, and he wants to compete with our tank regiment head-on, and the little devil simply doesn't know how to write the word death." ”

"Yes! Commander, I believe that this time we will be able to defeat the little devil's chariot brigade. ”

Several guards next to him echoed one after another.

The tank regiment's tank group rushed forward, and at a distance of more than ten kilometers, due to the face-to-face driving with the little devils, it soon discovered the enemy's situation.

Commander Ding's armored command vehicle immediately sent a report from the troops in front, "Regiment commander! The tank group of the little devils has appeared, however, the tanks of the little devils seem to be a new type of tank, which we have never seen before. ”

This tank brigade of the little devil is actually equipped with a new type of tank, which is a little unexpected to Commander Ding, who hesitated slightly, and then conveyed the order into his microphone, "Comrades! Get ready for battle! ”

Ahead.

The little devils also found the tank's tank's tank, more than 100 tanks in the tank regiment, which are basically the same as the number of tanks in the 2nd Brigade of the Devil's Tank.

Yuichi Matsumoto, the brigade of the little devil, also saw the huge tank group of the tank regiment through the narrow window in which he was riding in an armored car.

Seeing so many tanks, Yuichi Matsumoto was extremely excited, and actually shouted in the command car, "Kill and give!! ”

The tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils are not equipped with inter-vehicle radio communication systems, and the shouts of Yuichi Matsumoto, the little devils in the rest of the tanks, naturally, cannot be heard.

The 2nd Brigade of the Little Devil Tank, only a small number of armored vehicles, is equipped with a vehicle-mounted radio, which can be contacted by sending telegrams, in addition, the contact between the little devils can only rely on the flag, and the battle between the little devil tanks can only rely on the tacit understanding between the little devils.

The tank regiment and the 2nd Brigade of the Little Devil Tank were driving face to face, and the seemingly distant distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and the distance between the two sides themselves became smaller and smaller.

The two sides were still at least a kilometer apart, and several Type 39 tanks on the move aimed at the little devil's tank, and with a little aiming, these tanks opened fire one after another.

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

The thick muzzles of these tanks, the fire flashed, and one shell after another hit several tanks of the little devils, and the tanks of these little devils were shot one after another.

A burst sounded, and Yuichi Matsumoto, the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Little Devil Tank, happened to see this scene, and when he saw that it was so far away, the tanks of the 36th Army opened fire, and they still fired on the march, and they were still so accurate.

Yuichi Matsumoto's originally excited face changed slightly, and he was slightly shocked in his heart, worried about these tanks that were shot.

Sure enough, these tanks that were shot, after being shot, stopped immediately, and several little devils in the tank were almost stunned, the high-explosive bomb of the Type 39 tank was not small, and the little devil's tank did not have a pressure relief device, such a violent explosion, although because the distance was a little far, it did not penetrate the frontal armor of the little devil tank, but the little devil in the tank almost rolled his eyes.

After a long while, all but one of the tanks that had been hit by the bullet could no longer start, the rest of the tanks began to exercise again.

When Matsumoto Yu, the commander of the Little Devil Brigade, saw that his tanks that had been shot were not destroyed, his heart was lowered again, and he said happily: "Yo Xi! ”

For the next tank battle, Yuichi Matsumoto appeared full of confidence.
