"Ladies and gentlemen, the little Japanese tanks have hit the muzzles of our guns. This is a great opportunity not to be missed. 1 Company and 2 Company, frontal attack. 3 and 4 companies, detouring from both flanks. I finally found the little Japanese tanks, and I had to eat them in one bite. Said the battalion commander of the 1st Tank Battalion.

"Battalion commander, don't worry. The tanks of the little Japanese are nothing more than the French Renault FT17 tanks. In World War I, it might have been a good tank. However, in the present, they are seriously outdated. Our No. 3 tank, the performance is enough to crush them. Not to mention our No. 3 tank, even the No. 2 tank is much more powerful than them! The 1st Company Commander said nonchalantly.

"I've already reported to the brigade headquarters, maybe the 2nd and 3rd Tank Battalions are on the way. Time is running out. The battalion commander said.

"What? The 2nd and 3rd Tank Battalions are on the way? Is that still there? When they arrive, they will definitely fight us for meat. No, we're going to have to eat these little devils' tanks first. Several company commanders suddenly made a fuss.

Ten minutes later, the 1st Tank Battalion of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army departed. The remaining 30 tanks of the two tank companies attacked head-on, and the other two tank companies were outflanked left and right, preparing to make dumplings for the Japanese Second Tank Brigade. Although, the number of tanks of the Japanese army was much higher than that of the 1st Battalion. However, in terms of performance, the No. 3 tank of the Imperial Army was fully capable of crushing the Renault TF17 tank of the Japanese army. Therefore, it is definitely not a problem to win more with less.

At 11:15 a.m., tank units on both sides met. Lieutenant General Okada, commander of the 2nd Tank Brigade of the Japanese Army, gave the order to attack. More than a hundred tanks of two tank wings began to rush to the 1st Tank Battalion of the Imperial Army.

"The people of China only have thirty tanks. We still have a hundred and six tanks. That's more than three times as many as them. Even if the tanks of the Chinese are larger than ours, the one who wins in the end will definitely belong to us. Lieutenant General Okada looked confident.

However, he seems to have forgotten. In tank duels, quantity is not the decisive factor. Many times, it is the performance of the tank that really decides. The Japanese Renault FT17 tank had a maximum speed of only 10 kilometers, and that was when it was driving on the road. The speed of off-roading, the speed drops directly to five kilometers, almost the same as an adult walking. The Imperial Army's No. 3 tank was twice as fast as the Japanese tank. This can be seen on the battlefield, the tanks of the Imperial Army rushed towards the Japanese tanks more quickly.

At a distance of five hundred meters, the tanks of the Imperial Army stopped one after another, and the tank guns were already aimed at the Japanese tanks.

"What's going on? The distance between the two sides was more than 500 meters, and the Chinese opened fire at this distance. Will they be able to hit our tanks at this distance? Even if it hits, will it be able to penetrate the frontal armor of our tank? Hmph, the tank troops of the Chinese people don't seem to be very good. Tell our tank and continue to close the distance. Wait until you get closer to 300 meters before firing. Be sure to make sure to destroy the tanks of the China. Lieutenant General Okada ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." The communications corps hurriedly rode motorcycles and went to give orders to the attacking tank troops.

The tanks of the Japanese army were not equipped with radio equipment, so when transmitting orders, they often had to rely on communication soldiers to ride motorcycles to convey them. If it's close, you can even use it directly.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

More than 30 tanks of the Imperial Army opened fire one after another. One shell after another, whizzing towards the Japanese tanks.

In front of the No. 3 tank of the Imperial Army, the Renault FT17 tank, which weighed only 7 tons, looked like a small bean dice.

"Boom!" A 57-mm tank gun shell hit the frontal armor of a Japanese Renault FT17 tank. With only 22 mm thick armor, it simply cannot withstand armor-piercing shells. The armor-piercing projectile easily pierced the frontal armor of the Japanese tank, exploding inside the tank. The explosion detonated the shells inside the tank, triggering the detonation.

A tank, in fact, is just a mobile ammunition depot wrapped in armor. Once the armor is penetrated, there is a high risk of detonation of the ammunition. The power it produces is enough to kill the tank crew in an instant.

In the first round of shelling, a full six Japanese tanks were hit and exploded.

The tanks of the Chinese Army were able to destroy the Japanese tanks at such a distance, which undoubtedly frightened the Japanese tank crews. You know, if their Renault FT17 tank can hit the target at a distance of three hundred meters, it will already be very difficult. Not to mention penetrating the armor of the opposing tank. The strong performance of the Chinese army's tanks has undoubtedly taught them a deep lesson.

"Yaga! How is this possible? It's incredible that the tanks of the Chinese actually hit our tanks and also penetrated our tanks. A Japanese tank commander said.

Many tank soldiers of the Japanese army had an extremely bad feeling in their hearts. Originally, fighting with the tank units of the Imperial Army made them not have much confidence. After all, the Japanese Army is just a novice in tanks, while the Chinese Army has much longer experience and tactics in using tanks than the Japanese army. It's like a toddler battling it off against an adult. Babies, no matter how tough they are, will never be an opponent for adults.

Lieutenant General Okada, commander of the Second Tank Brigade of the Japanese Army, who was watching the battle from the rear, also had a big change in his face. The tanks of the Chinese * army, capable of destroying the tanks of the Japanese army at such a distance. This undoubtedly shows the huge gap between the two sides!

"Damn, the tanks of the Shina people are really powerful. It's going to be very difficult to defeat them. Lieutenant General Okada thought secretly. Of course, he won't say anything casually if this kind of thing will affect the morale of the military.

As the Japanese tanks continued to advance, the Imperial Army tanks opened fire again. Because of the closer, more than a dozen tanks were destroyed this time.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The Japanese tanks were desperately trying to close the distance between the two sides. However, the tanks of the Imperial Army seized this opportunity and kept firing at the Japanese tanks. Each round of shelling destroyed a lot of Japanese tanks.

The battlefield was littered with the wreckage of Japanese tanks. Some tanks, still burning, emitting billowing smoke.

"Rush me! Pull closer to within 300 meters, then open fire, and teach the people a hard lesson! Lieutenant General Okada yelled with a hideous face. The huge loss made him lose his mind.

By the time the Japanese tanks managed to close the distance to 300 meters, they had already lost more than 40 tanks. There are only about sixty tanks left.

"Good, finally close to 300 meters. Fire at me and destroy the tanks of the China. Lieutenant General Okada yelled.

However, what happened next made his face black as if he was the bottom of a pot.

The tanks of the Chinese Army have started again. It's just that instead of moving forward, they are reversing. What is even more infuriating is that the speed at which the Chinese army tanks reverse is faster than the speed at which the Japanese tanks advance. As a result, the Japanese tanks were never able to close the distance between the two sides to within 300 meters.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The Japanese tanks also opened fire, but they basically did not achieve much success. Even the occasional shell hit the Imperial Army tank, but it could not penetrate the 57 mm thick armor on the front of the Imperial Army's Tank 3.

And every round of artillery shelling by the tank units of the Imperial Army would inflict considerable casualties on the Japanese army. If this continues, it only takes a few rounds of shelling to destroy all the Japanese tanks.

"Despicable and shameless Shina people, they will only adopt such tactics, and they simply don't have the courage to face the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire!" Lieutenant General Okada yelled viciously. However, in his angry roar, there was more of a deep helplessness.

In the face of this style of play by the armored forces of the Imperial Army, the Japanese army did not have the slightest power to fight back. Their tanks are constantly being destroyed, and the number of the two sides is getting closer. In addition, the morale of the Japanese tank crews was also declining.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we can't go on like this. If we continue to fight, our tanks will all have to be damaged here. A staff officer suggested.

"Of course I do. But will we still be able to withdraw? The tanks of the Chinese people, much faster than ours. Even if we evacuate, we will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Okada said with a dark face. Obviously, he had seen all of this very clearly. Because of the disadvantage in the performance of the tank, it will directly lead to their fiasco.

The staff officer was immediately speechless, he knew that all this was true. At first, they thought it was too simple. Now they know that the armored forces of the Chinese army are simply not something they can deal with.

It was at this time that the 3rd Tank Company and the 4th Tank Company, outflanked from both flanks, launched an attack overnight. However, when they arrived at the battlefield, they found that there were not many Japanese tanks left. The bulk had already been eaten by the 1st and 2nd Tank Companies, and they could only pick up some leftovers.

Two other tank companies entered the battlefield and directly sentenced the Japanese Second Tank Brigade to death. They were attacked on the flanks and in the rear, and were quickly destroyed one by one by the tank units of the Imperial Army. (To be continued.) )
