The political commissar of the first tank regiment was an old man who had risen with Hu Weidong at the beginning, and he had endured the hardships of a poor life, but now when he saw that Du Yang actually ordered to throw away the tank that was not easy to have, he suddenly became anxious, "What? Don't want this tank? Fake foreign devils, you are a cub selling Ye Tian and it doesn't hurt! ”

The reason why the political commissar scolded Du Yang as a "fake foreign devil" was because Du Yang was actually a second-generation Chinese born in Germany, and because Hitler came to power, he persecuted and excluded many "lower races", including the Chinese (Note 1), and Du Yang's family was forced to return to the motherland. After the Anti-Japanese War in North China, Du Yang, who was infected by the heroic deeds of the 15th Army, came to Luoyang to join the army, because he turned out to be an excellent pilot, Hu Weidong arranged him to serve as a battalion commander in an armored brigade in urgent need of professional talents, and as a result, Du Yang performed well in training and exercises, and understood the various armored troops taught by Hu Weidong very quickly, so Hu Weidong tried his best to promote him to the commander of the first tank regiment again. But Du Yang, who was deeply influenced by Germanic culture, did not get along well with his colleagues

It is good that the training requirements are strict, because Hu Weidong has always emphasized it since the beginning of the army in Jiangxi, but his excessive training volume has caused a tank that may be able to be used for a period of time to be scrapped ahead of schedule, and at the same time, a large amount of precious fuel is consumed on the training ground, which makes the regimental political commissar who is accustomed to living a poor life and many commanders and fighters who have similar experiences very dissatisfied, and his habit of paying attention to military appearance and military posture and respecting and inferiority has also caused many subordinates who are accustomed to sharing weal and woe with their superiors and subordinates and getting along with each other always have a strong sense of alienation from him. Originally, after the murder of the butcher Gu Shoufu. The atmosphere inside the tank regiment has improved a lot. As a result, now Du Yang's order to let his subordinates abandon the anchored tank has intensified the conflict

Fortunately, Hu Weidong had been aware of the internal contradictions of the 1st Tank Regiment before, and before the war, he specially assigned the regiment a staff officer Li Dequan who was good at making peace with the mud. Li Dequan affirmed the correctness of Du Yang's proposition with Hu Weidong's special emphasis on "speed overriding everything" before the war, and at the same time persuaded the political commissar to say, "Behind us are our own troops, and the tanks are still afraid of being snatched by the devils again?" It's just a temporary drop.,It's not going to be gone.,For the sake of Zuihou's victory.,What does it matter! ”

After some lip service. The incomprehensible regimental political commissar and others finally withdrew their objections, so the tank engine roared again, and the armored brigade of the 15th Army, with the 1st Tank Regiment as the vanguard, became more and more unstoppable, following the defeat of Zhangjiakou and the 109th Division of the Japanese Army. In one fell swoop, the 20th Division, a permanent division, and another special division, the 108th Division, and at this time, almost all the Type 89 medium tanks of the First Tank Regiment had been abandoned or destroyed by the devils, and the 15 T26 light tanks were too special in a bunch of Japanese tanks, and they had been attacked by the Japanese army, and now they had been completely lost. However, even so, the commanders and fighters of the 1st Tank Regiment were still full of attacks, but at this time, the General Front Committee issued an order to stop their advance

In fact, the General Front Committee almost passed a resolution asking the armored brigade to stop the offensive. Because after one tank regiment abandoned the anchored tank, the other two regiments followed suit, and the speed of advance was greatly accelerated, so that even the infantry was pulled farther and farther away by them even if they marched rapidly, and the gap between the two became larger and larger, and in case the devils in the middle of the rout had a chance to regain their organization and discipline and gather, the armored brigade was in danger of being cut off by the enemy. Fortunately, at this time, Hu Weidong, who had always disliked cavalry, suddenly remembered this ancient branch of the army, the 15th Army had cut off a lot of cavalry, but those cavalry had not been retired, and they were transferred to the establishment of the Eighth Route Army. Coupled with the original cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, there are now tens of thousands of Chinese cavalry available even in the Zhangjiakou area. Although these cavalry belong to multiple units, it is estimated that it is not easy to coordinate, but they need to do to deal with the defeated army of the devil who has collapsed. Just chased after it, raised the saber, and slashed at the devil's neck. The sortie of this group of cavalry. It greatly ensured the safety of the rear road of the armored brigade, and at the same time effectively expanded the results of the battle, according to post-war statistics, there were no less than 10,000 devils who died under their swords...,

However, this time the General Front Committee really had no choice, because everyone, including Hu Weidong, did not expect that bombers would be used on a large scale and at a high frequency in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, so the production and reserves of aerial bombs were seriously insufficient, and almost all the stocks before the war were placed in Luoyang, and the first batch of cluster bombs dropped were brought by aircraft from Luoyang, and the captured Japanese aerial bombs could only be used later, because the breakthrough of the armored brigade required our bombers to bomb the Japanese army almost non-stop, and it was too late to transport them from Luoyang. But the special forces had actually captured the ammunition stocks of the two Japanese airfields with great effort before, and they were all used up by the devils, and now this kind of almost non-stop air raid consumes ammunition at a rate that even the Japanese air force has never experienced, so this battle has been fought so far, not to mention that the bomber pilots are generally exhausted, even if they are willing to overcome difficulties and continue to attack, there are no bombs thrown at them for a while

"This is also something that can't be helped, just so everyone can take a rest, but it will exhaust me," said Xu Guangda, the acting commander of the armored brigade who returned from the Soviet Union after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

"Without air support, our losses will definitely be greater, but we still have hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles available here, even if we charge hard, we can fight our way out! What's more, the devils are already frightened birds, maybe as long as they hear the sound of our tracks, they will flee in the wilderness! Du Yang shouted unwillingly, "Although I didn't grow up in China, I still understand the truth of 'defeat is like a mountain'!" If we stop now, then at least 50,000 Japanese troops will be huddled together, and if our main force wants to destroy them, we will have to sacrifice 20,000 or 30,000 comrades, and if we hold on now, maybe I will sacrifice, you will sacrifice, many of us will sacrifice, but these 100,000 Japanese troops will be completely defeated by us, and the troops behind will clean up these remnants of the defeated generals, it will be as simple as eating vegetables! ”

Note 1: The so-called Hitler likes China and other remarks are pure rumors, among Western countries, only Germany does not have a Chinatown, it is Hitler's sin back then, in fact, any yellow race in his eyes, is just a raw material for soap, there are actually German sticks made up Hitler in his early years by the favor of the Chinese so he knew the story of the gratitude, it is really speechless, the cooperation between Nazi Germany and the national government is completely based on the national interests of both sides (your support is my biggest motivation. )
