With 22 armored vehicles and tanks destroyed and wounded and 114 casualties, in exchange for the trench position of the Japanese army that broke through the slope within four hours, and it was the position of the so-called iron-blooded Kurume Division, Wang Yizhe had to applaud the achievements of the 1st Guards Division even if he was picky!

The 18th Division of the Japanese Army, which was organized in Kurume, had three infantry wings and one artillery wing, with a total strength of 3. 20,000 people, including a large number of orphans adopted by the Japanese military, bloodthirsty and fierce, known for their ferocity, is one of the ace units of the Japanese Army.

In the battle of Zengcheng, the 18th Division played the trench warfare that was famous in the First World War to the fullest, with less and more, 100,000 Youzhou troops were blocked outside Zengcheng for more than ten days, without further progress! The battlefield veteran Wan Fulin returned to his homeland, and his dream of becoming famous in a war was stifled by life. In these more than ten days of trench warfare, the loss ratio of the two sides reached 1:2, that is, for every Japanese soldier killed or wounded, the Youzhou army had to pay twice the price.

However, in the face of the armored cluster assault of the 1st Guards Division, the 18th Division, which can be called fierce, only resisted for less than four hours. More precisely, it only lasted for more than an hour, and the rest was the time for the 1st Guards Division to "hunt rabbits".

The firepower of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was not weak, and after the landing of the two armies, the Japanese army began to prepare for resisting the large-scale tank clusters of the Han army, especially the German blitzkrieg on Poland, Guderian led the 19th Panzer Corps to play the tactics of large depth interspersed to a brilliant extent, and the million-wave army was almost unable to resist and was divided and surrounded.

When the war report came, the Japanese Army, which thought it was the first in the world, was dumbfounded, and compared with several large-scale battles in China, it was like a child playing at home. However, the little devil's intelligence was good, and they soon figured out that Guderian's armored tactics came from the Han Dynasty, and the first army of the Han Emperor when he founded the country was the armored force, and the Anglo-Australian coalition army was also defeated by the tanks and armored vehicles of the Han army.

However, even if they realized the great power of armor, the Japanese army did not have the ability to improve their Xiaodouding tanks at once, not because they did not have the technology, but they could not build so many at once. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Han and the deepening of exchanges between the Han and German armies, the mustache has listened to Rommel's advice and vigorously rebuilt their No. 1 tank by taking advantage of the developed manufacturing industry in the Ruhr industrial area. And imitating the Type 59 of the Han Dynasty, the No. 2 tank with thicker armor, 75 mm Krupp howitzer, weighing 33 tons, was created and named the Leopard tank by the Führer.

But Japan is not good, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Type 97 Qiha tank is also relatively advanced in terms of power system, suspension system and other important indicators, and even Qiha's unique short-barreled 57 mm gun can fire a variety of shells such as grenades and armor-piercing shells, which is comparable to the world's first-class. However, this medium tank, which the Japanese army called it, weighed only 15 tons, which was much lighter than the light warrior tank of the Great Han, let alone compared to the Tiger medium tank of the Guards armored unit.

This fatal flaw was not that the Japanese were stingy and reluctant to invest more in tanks, but that the little bit of steel that Japan had painstakingly obtained was thrown on the naval warships. Britain, the United States, and Han cut off Japan's import channels in the South Seas, leaving the little devils overstretched in terms of steel, oil, rubber, and other materials for war readiness. But the clever Japanese did not sit idly by, and in the face of the threat of a possible flood of Han steel, they built more 27mm anti-tank guns and distributed them to various divisions. He also came up with a variety of methods for bombing tanks individually and compiled them into manuals and distributed them to all troops, which meant that they used explosive packs, grenades and the flesh and blood of little devils to block the armored forces of the Han army.

Therefore, when the Youzhou Army could not fight for a long time, after the 1st Guards Division appeared on the stage, the mighty Tiger tanks and Cheetah infantry assault vehicles appeared on the battlefield, Lieutenant General Nagashi Nagashi of the division did not panic, and commanded the Japanese army to concentrate all the anti-tank guns and hide in the trenches to resist, but the effect was not good, the armor on the front of the Tiger tank was 100 mm thick, and it was difficult for small-caliber anti-tank guns to cause fatal damage to it. Moreover, the anti-tank artillery group of the Japanese army had only one chance to fire, and the point of fire was revealed, which meant that death had come.

The so-called armored assault is not a coordinated infantry and tank, with a small number of tanks scattered to cover the infantry charge. In the eyes of the Royal Guard, it was simply a petty fight. Swarming, armored swarm assault is the essence of armored tactics.

Commander Huo Lu deployed more than 300 Tigers and 200 Cheetahs in the frontal position, starting from his own position, and it only took two minutes for the entire armored group to storm the Japanese trench position, and in two minutes, the devil soldiers in the second line of defense did not have time to withdraw, and they were overpowered by the tanks roaring overhead--the Japanese army, which had no experience in anti-tank, the trench was too narrow.

Some of the Chrysanthemum Attackers with white strips of cloth on their heads rushed out with explosive bags, but their chances of success were too small. The Cheetah infantry vehicles with muzzles in the body are guarded by them, and the chrysanthemum attackers who are shot in the head are considered lucky, and the worst thing is that the explosive bag in their arms is burst, and the "boom" instantly turns into fragments, without taking away a trace of clouds.

Of course, they were not without results, and most of the tanks whose tracks were damaged were the work of the Chrysanthemum attack team. But this suicidal attack was not enough to stop the torrent of the 1st Guards Division's assault, and the vehicle-mounted machine gun became a powerful weapon that could kill more than the tank guns, and the Japanese soldiers in the trenches held up the 38 large covers and smashed or slashed, showing their last "bushido" in desperation. The 1st Guards Division responded with a rain of machine-gun fire, sending them back to Aunt Amaterasu's arms.

The soldiers of the 27th Army of Youzhou, who then attacked, saw the tragic scene in the trench and bent down in unison...... Spit wildly! It's not uncommon to see dead people on the battlefield, but it's not all minced meat, right? - The installation on the Tiger tank is 12. A 7mm heavy machine gun, this thing is the way to kill people at close range...... Tore.

The Guards don't have to pay attention to the work of cleaning the battlefield at all, advance and advance, assault and assault, is the passion of the armored forces! The sudden collapse of the second line of defense made it impossible for Lieutenant General Kujo Naichi to strengthen the third line of defense, and the so-called machine-gun fortifications and bunkers became decorations in front of the armor of the Han army, and the trench formation, which the Youzhou army hated to the extreme, also became a cemetery for the Japanese army. The trench that is nearly one person deep is not so easy to climb up, and many devils are injured by the side of the trench by kicking their legs, and they are run into the ditch by crawlers. The devil who was lucky enough to climb out ran wildly with his little short legs, and the 38 big cover that was in the way had already been thrown into the trench.

So, more than an hour after the start of the battle, the "Hunt the Rabbit" competition began......

His Majesty, who was far away in Chang'an, after hearing about the first battle of the First Guards Division, was very interested, and ordered the little goblin to study the ink, waving eight big characters in the book: Land Tiger, First Guards Division!
