Soon after Matsui Shigen was captured alive, Yang Sen's division on the southern front also attacked Hangzhou, and the five divisions of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, which fled south, were completely locked up in this small area on the south bank of Taihu Lake, at this time they had actually collapsed, more than 500,000 troops in the east and west directions were crushed to the south, and there was an armored division in the middle of the rampo, the Japanese army could not organize any large-scale resistance at all, the whole battlefield was completely chaotic, a brigade or even a squadron struggled after the worst, and their results were already doomed, Even the Japanese War Department has erased the 1st, 8th, 105th, 114th, and 117th divisions in terms of organization.

Now the strategy of the Japanese army is to hold the Qiantang River and expand to the west and south with the support of Zhenhai Port, and the remnants of the last pontoon bridge were completely blown up by them with their own explosives at the moment when Yang Hanyu's division appeared at the northern end, and with an earth-shattering explosion, the destruction of the Shanghai Dispatch Army was announced.

However, the remnants of the fighting on the north bank still lasted for a week, and there was not even a single wing of Japanese troops who fled into the Tianmu Mountains, and they were not killed and starved to death until two months later.

Then he reprimanded him with great righteousness and awe, as if the ancient emperor reprimanded those hypocrites who resisted the mandate of heaven, and ordered General Matsui to be sent to the prisoner of war camp in Nanjing.

As for the war situation in the south, this is not a big deal, and now all the armies on the northern front can get out, and there are these 500,000 elites. There are also armored divisions, which will drive the Japanese army into the sea just around the corner.

Not to mention that he was there to speak to the people of Shanghai, Yang Feng in the north was also ready for everything, and as the Liberator bombers at Nanyuan Airport took off one after another, the thunder operation he had planned for almost a month officially began.

This is really a thunderstorm, both for the Japanese and for the Chinese. It was all a flat thunderstorm, and a hundred heavy bombers first dropped 500 tons of bombs and napalm bombs on the Japanese fortress of Tongliao, and the huge explosion and the soaring flames made the soldiers of the Hong Army who experienced this scene for the first time stunned, they never imagined that the battle could be fought like this.

The bombardment fire had not yet been extinguished, and more than 300 heavy artillery pieces, which had long been deployed in place, began to shell for a whole hour, with earth-shattering explosions. The earth of the northeast that shook hard kept trembling, under the unprecedented firepower of this eastern battlefield, the only few Japanese troops qualified to participate in the war were all blown into parts in less than ten minutes, these dozens of tons of behemoths are the secret weapons of the Japanese army, it turns out that this is what beat MacArthur to the ground and fled in history, but unfortunately it is not a fart in front of the 130 cannon.

"Still going on?" Lin Shuai held the binoculars, even with his depth. couldn't help but have a shocked expression on his face and asked He Jifeng beside him.

"No big deal. Let's fight the war in this way, when we can use guns, we definitely don't use guns, a shell deducts the shells that can be recovered, and the remaining part of the cost is dozens of yuan, and now the death of a soldier will get a thousand pensions alone, and the injured and disabled will spend more. Which one do you think is the best deal?" He Jifeng said proudly.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Boss Yang still said more, as far as the explosives he bought from modern times, a most ordinary ginseng can be exchanged for several tons, and the price in this regard is almost negligible. So in his case, a 130mm shell actually cost less than ten dollars, and he bought it for thirty dollars for the bald guy, and he thought he was very generous.

Lin Shuai was confused by this concept, if he wanted to know that Lu Dao rushed over to such a cannon and let him exchange the lives of a regiment, he would definitely not frown.

More than 300 heavy artillery pieces took an hour to completely bombard the Tongliao fortress, which was already about to fall apart, into ruins, and then the Liberator reconnaissance plane, which had been hovering in the sky, sent back the news that the main artillery and fortresses on the Japanese defense line had been bombarded into slag by shells and bombs, and Song Zheyuan, as the commander-in-chief of the front-line coalition forces, gave the order to attack, and the 200,000 troops began to advance slowly on the bones of the Japanese army.

At the same time, the first mechanized brigade of the Japanese army also passed Zhengjiatun, which is the treasure of the Northeast Japanese army, 30 Type 95 heavy tanks, 50 Type 95 light tanks, and 30 Type 97 medium tanks, in addition to 50 small bean bags, 40 Bajiu type tanks, if Yang Feng sees such a scene, he will definitely laugh off his big teeth, but this is indeed the best degree that the Japanese armored forces have been able to do.

Especially the thirty double-turret Type 95 heavy combat vehicles, which were originally made in history, and now they are forced by him to become a finished product, but this 26-ton behemoth, the fastest speed is only more than 20 kilometers, and the French Charles uses a 37 tank gun, and there is also a 70 gun, one to fight tanks and one to fight infantry, of course, if you use armor-piercing shells, you can also fight tanks.

In addition, there is the latest Type 97 heavy tank, what Yang Feng pretended to be in 226 at the beginning, and now it has been produced, this is the most important trump card of the Japanese army, using a 57 mm tank gun, which is the hope they use to deal with the 59 tank.

In order to protect this huge tank force, which was advancing rapidly along the road at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour, the Japanese army specially assigned the 1st Cavalry Brigade to this most important unit, and thousands of cavalry were very impatient to wait for the slow tanks, and even broke down from time to time.

However, the commander, Lieutenant General Yasuoka, felt quite proud of himself, standing on the turret of a Type 95 chariot, holding his beloved saber in his hand and shouting: "Forward, forward, warriors of the Empire, use your steel beasts to crush the enemy's body, use the cannon in your hands." Go and shatter the myth of their invincibility!"

His task was to attack the coalition forces besieging Tongliao from the outside, and at the same time look for enemy armored forces to deliver a thunderous blow under the right circumstances, and Lieutenant General Yasuoka was confident that he would be able to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese tanks.

It's a pity that no matter how much he shouts, even those rags can't make up for thirty, especially those Type 95 heavy chariots. Panting and squirming slowly, it wasn't long before another one broke down.

"Your Excellency, General, these heavy chariots are too slow to keep up with the speed of other chariots, so it's better to let them be in a separate team." The chief of staff, who was sitting in another Type 95 light tank, approached and shouted, because only the command tank had a radio station, so the Japanese army's communication basically relied on roaring.

Lieutenant General Yasuoka looked at the Type 95 heavy chariot that was pulling behind more and more, nodded dissatisfied, and waved the small flag as the command vehicle sent the commander. After leaving behind these cumbersome burdens, the Japanese army finally increased its marching speed a little, and basically increased to nearly 30 kilometers.

At the same time, on a river beach not far from them, the 2nd Armoured Brigade of the Security Division, consisting of 50 59 tanks and 100 heavy Tigers, was starting to start starting tanks, which made very different noises because they used two different engines.

Brigade Commander Wu Gang was lying leisurely on a 59 tank, listening to the information coming from the on-board radio. In the sky, a Liberator hovered above the 1st Mechanized Brigade, monitoring their every move.

In fact, he was not satisfied with the current establishment, and in his opinion, the Tiger tank was compared to the Wujiu or the Dragon heavy tank, which Yang Feng gave it. The gap was too great, and although the tank had now increased to eighteen tons, greatly enhanced protection at a maximum speed of fifty, the four-seven guns were too unsatisfactory, compared to the hundred-millimeter main gun of the Dragon tank. It's like a slender toothpick.

Even the armor-piercing ability is inferior to the seven-three-mm low-bore pressure gun used on infantry fighting vehicles.

"Boss, let's go!" An officer next to him yelled.

"Let's go!" Wu Gang spit out the cigarette in his mouth and shouted, then got into the tank and gave the order to attack with the radio. His armored brigade did not have infantry fighting vehicles to follow this time, but it was equipped with another kind of big killing weapon, 30 130mm self-propelled rocket launchers newly obtained by Boss Yang, and 10 Shilka River, 40 double 37 anti-aircraft guns mounted on ten-wheeled trucks, with these things to provide protection, the 1st Cavalry Brigade accompanying the Japanese army is estimated to be only scum.

Isn't it said that the machine gun is the nemesis of the cavalry? This time, Big Boss Yang directly used machine guns.

More than 200 vehicles of various kinds, rolled up in a trail of dust, the yellow dragon directly crashed into the marching Japanese army's 1st mechanized brigade, and the first tank battle in the Sino-Japanese war began.

When the two sides were about 10 kilometers apart, the 2nd Panzer Brigade was discovered by a group of Japanese reconnaissance tanks, and one of them, a Type 97 command tank equipped with a wooden fake cannon, immediately sent a report to Lieutenant General Yasuoka in the rear, and then immediately after the turret was blown away by a 59th tank two kilometers away.

The dozen or so Type 95 Zhilu Dao used to protect it couldn't run by itself, and one by one bravely rushed towards the cannon muzzle of the black hole in front of them, and before they could get close to the range of 1,500 meters, they turned into a pile of scrap metal under the blow of the 100-millimeter cannon.

Wu Gang sighed with a lonely look from a high place, in his opinion, this kind of work was too unchallenging.

At the same time, after learning that the 2nd Panzer Brigade was not accompanied by infantry, Lieutenant General Yasuoka also showed a faint smile, in his opinion, these Chinese are too arrogant, out of the infantry protection of the chariot, it is equivalent to coming to give him credit, but unfortunately his smile has not been maintained for half a minute, and there is a sudden overwhelming roar in the sky, and countless fires drag obvious trails and crash into his ranks.

In an instant, the originally calm grassland, like a powder keg that had been detonated, suddenly turned into a sea of fire, not to mention the accompanying cavalry, even the tanks under his command were in a mess in this continuous explosion, especially those poor little bean bags, how could this kind of tank weighing several tons withstand the explosion of 130 rockets? In the blink of an eye, dozens of small bean buns were shattered, and the worst ones were even overturned by the explosion and rolled on the ground.

The 95, 97, and 8jiu tanks were also unable to withstand heavy artillery bombardment, the broken tank bodies in the glow of the fire flew all over the sky, the stumps and broken arms of the cavalry and war horses seemed to rain blood in the sky, and only 30 130 rocket launchers smashed nearly 600 heavy artillery shells at this instant, which blew up the 1st Mechanized Brigade and the 1st Cavalry Brigade attached to it.

The explosion soon ended, and Lieutenant General Yasuoka looked blankly at his unrecognizable team. Overturned tanks, shattered chariots, bloody soldiers, at this moment, he even had a feeling of dreaming.

"Yamada-kun! Yamada-kun!" He shook his head vigorously to make himself sober. Then hurriedly shouted the name of the chief of staff.

But no one answered him.

The Type 95 tank that poor Chief of Staff Yamada was riding in was very lucky to hit the jackpot, and was directly hit by a rocket, and the small tank of a little more than ten tons was instantly blown into a state of parts, and Lieutenant General Yasuoka wanted to find his chief of staff, so he had to find an engineer shovel to shovel from the ground.

"Assemble, regroup!" Lieutenant General Yasuoka didn't bother to look for the chief of staff, and hurriedly shouted at his subordinates who had not yet recovered from the afterglow of the shelling, and they were all elites of the Great Japanese Empire. In the hoarse roar of the division commander, the remnants of the Japanese tanks began to restart and prepare to form a combat formation, and the soldiers of the first cavalry brigade reacted much faster than the tanks, this is not the first time they have engaged the North China coalition army, and it is not strange that Zhilu Dao faces the troops of Boss Yang, even if the opposite side is to summon Godzilla.

This side is still regrouping, and a black tank has already appeared in the distance.

"Attack!" Lieutenant General Yasuoka wields a saber. With a frenzied roar of excitement, the herald next to him immediately waved his small flag. More than a hundred regrouped tanks rushed towards their enemies with the smoke of gasoline not fully burning, while the remnants of the cavalry were divided into two groups and rushed towards the tanks from both flanks. The Molotov cocktail is not a secret weapon, it came out after a little research, it used to be a lack of attention to anti-tank operations, but since the last Battle of Rehe, the Kwantung Army has attached great importance to this aspect.

The cavalry charged even faster than Yasuoka's tanks. In the blink of an eye, it was already less than a kilometer away from the Second Armored Brigade, but at this time, the cavalry at the front was crazy, ignoring the galloping horses behind them, and suddenly pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, which immediately caused a chain of chaos, and the charging cavalry had already made people turn on their backs before they approached the enemy.

"Bastard, what are you doing?" His Excellency, the brigade commander, shouted angrily at the cavalrymen who were running back.

None of these cavalrymen answered his question, but their little faces turned white, and they pointed to the distance with trembling fingers, and His Excellency the Brigade Commander looked up, stunned for a moment, and then turned around without hesitation.

Behind the tank group, there were countless machine gun muzzles, and His Excellency the brigade commander naturally understood very well that in the face of the machine gun cavalry, he could only wait to be slaughtered, not to mention that these were hundreds of machine guns.

It was a pity that it was too late to run at this time, and eighty double three-seven anti-aircraft guns and forty two-five-millimeter anti-aircraft guns poured countless shells into the middle of the cavalry at a rate of tens of thousands of rounds per minute in an instant, and at this moment the first cavalry brigade became a splash of flesh and blood.

At this time, Yasuoka's tank group had also entered the 1,500-meter engagement distance of the 59 tanks, and 50 tanks roared almost simultaneously, and more than 40 tanks in the Japanese tank group emitted smoke at the same time.

"Speed up!" Lieutenant General Yasuoka shouted with tears in his eyes, at such a distance, even the 57 guns of the 97 tank could not penetrate the front armor of any tank, and the distance between the two sides must be narrowed to within 500 meters, so as to maximize the power of the main cannon of the 97 tank.

Wu Gang, who was on the other side, snorted coldly at the Japanese tanks rushing towards him, and shouted into the radio: "Stop, after four rounds of shelling, you must completely annihilate the enemy, otherwise you will go back and do 500 push-ups per person."

"Boss, why don't you leave us some." The drivers of the Tiger Tank begged that they had not fired a single shot so far, and that was the end of the battle, and their girlfriends asked how to explain it.

"What to stay? You'll be in charge when we chase later. Wu Gang said unceremoniously, although he is usually a hanger, but he is really the most stable on the battlefield, the performance of the Tiger tank is definitely much stronger than any kind of tank in the Japanese army, but it is limited by tonnage, and it is not strong enough to be crushed at will.

Fifty tanks lined up in a neat row, fifty main guns were safely aimed at their respective targets, and tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells flew towards their targets one by one with a whistle that broke through the air.

Yasuoka and his subordinate tanks did not survive the four rounds of artillery bombardment of the 59 tanks, and they could not even rush into the 500-meter combat distance, and they were destroyed by those 100-millimeter tank guns one by one like targets on the way to attack, including the command tank he himself was riding, poor Lieutenant General Yasuoka was directly torn to pieces by a shell along with his own turret, and the 1st Mechanized Brigade, which Hishikari had high hopes for, was completely annihilated.
