On the night of October 6, 1941, there was no moon and it was cloudy. At eleven o'clock in the evening, a light rain fell in the sky, and the biting cold wind and freezing rain caused great difficulties for the march.

There is no complete road on the grassland, there are only two shallow traces, which look like roads, which are pressed out by the herdsmen's lele cars, because no one walks all year round, they have long been covered by wild grass. Ordinary vehicles usually walk okay, in this weather, armored troops walking on such roads, then the problem is serious.

On this road, vehicles often get stuck in the soft soil, and they have to rely on the soldiers and the vehicles in front of them to push and pull to barely walk, coupled with poor visibility, so the troops stop and go, and the speed is very slow. After three hours of marching in the rain, the light rain turned into a downpour, the pace of the march became slower, and morale dropped.

In the combat command car, Li Daniu asked a little irritably: "Uncle, how far is it from that small village?" ”

Although Old Battle could understand simple Chinese, he couldn't speak, and after thinking about it, a large string of Mongolian words came out of his mouth, and Li Daniu, who listened to it, frowned, and had no choice but to turn his gaze to Bao Xinghua and wait for his translation.

Bao Xinghua knew that his partner had limited patience, and translated: "After the hillside in front, walk 60 miles further south!" ”

"60 miles is 30 kilometers! At our current pace of marching, it would take at least an hour and a half, and it was now 2 o'clock in the morning, and it was about 3 o'clock in the morning to reach the Bagshe Gacha. And the logistics base of the Japanese army is less than an hour away from Bagashi Gacha, where we rest for an hour. Then continue to march, when we arrived at Namusi, it should be more than 5 o'clock, 5 o'clock when people are most likely to get sleepy, plus there is heavy rain as a cover, we can completely hit the Japanese army by surprise! Li Daniu analyzed.

Bao Xinghua nodded and said: "Due to this heavy rain, we are already nearly three hours late than scheduled, and the morale of the troops has also dropped, so it is beneficial to end the battle early." ”

"Well, that's it, and as soon as we get there, we'll go into battle. Destroy the logistics base of the Japanese army and then rest! Li Daniu said.

Another hour. According to Daddy Battle's words, beyond the hillside in front of him is the ruins of the Gacha of Bagashe, and although the Gacha is ruined, the small spring inside is still there. Once the troops get there, they can rest and recuperate. The fighters could eat some dry food and drink some water. The vehicle can also be refueled with some water, and more than a dozen tanks have broken down along the way, so they can be repaired and repaired at this opportunity.

However. Just when the fighters were fantasizing about the imminent arrival of a life of hot water and dry food, a cannon shot suddenly sounded in front.

"Boom", the sound was slightly dull, not like the T34 tank or the Xiafei light tank, coupled with the sound of wind and rain, everyone did not realize that the battle had begun.

However, the fierce exchange of fire and the incessant explosion that followed stunned everyone, it was not an accident, but a real exchange of fire, and although everyone was surprised that they would encounter an enemy in such a place, they hurried out of the car, assembled in a queue, and prepared for battle.

In the command car, Li Daniu and Bao Xinghua were also taken aback, Nima, what's going on, did you meet a Japanese devil?

It's unlikely, not to mention that there is not even a road in the backwoods here, and the Japanese eat and camp here. Besides, this pouring rain, how can the Japanese appear here without a village in front of the village and a shop in the back.

"Xiao Li, hurry up and ask what's going on in front of you," Li Daniu yelled loudly.

"Report to the division, it was the pioneer battalion that met the devil and has already handed over the fire!" Without waiting for Li Daniu to finish speaking, Li Gang replied loudly.

"What the hell? How many are there, is Zhilu Dao the devil army? Li Daniu hurriedly asked.

"Battalion Commander Wang said that they encountered an armored brigade of devils, and there are a lot of lights not far away, it should be an armored unit of devils, and the specific strength and number are not clear!" Li Gang said loudly.

Li Daniu looked at the map and said: "Oh no, this should be the devil's chariot division, according to the direction of their march, it is very likely that they want to make a detour to attack our army, but I didn't expect to meet us here." ”

Bao Xinghua frowned and said: "The little devils are really fucking cunning, if we do this, no matter whether we can wipe out these little devils or not, their logistics base must be on guard, and it will not be easy to sneak attack!" ”

Li Daniu smiled and said, "Lao Bao, do you really think that the commander asked us to sneak attack the little devils?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Lao Bao, have you ever seen a sneak attack with tens of thousands of people? The commander is clearly the best if he can sneak attack, and if he can't sneak attack, he will attack, in short, he must destroy this logistics base of the Japanese army! And I think the commander must have a backhand somewhere, either let us go back and attack the little devils, or directly take Shuangliao! Li Daniu said.

"I see, I still wonder, so many troops went to sneak attack, it turned out that the commander had this idea!" Bao Xinghua suddenly realized.

"Forget it, hurry up and think about how to defeat the little devil on the other side, you also know the situation reported by Wang Han, this may be a complete tank division of the Japanese army, although the performance of the little devil's tank is not as good as our tank, but the quality of their soldiers is stronger than our tank soldiers, and this is relatively close to their logistics base, and the Japanese army can come to reinforce at any time, so I must fight quickly!" Li Daniu said.

"Yes, I suggest that our army open the way with armored troops, and the mechanized infantry will follow, and the whole army will press up, anyway, the place here is spacious, enough for us to toss!" Bao Xinghua Road.

"I'll see it, Lao Bao, you give the order!" Li Daniu said.

"Good!"

With the order of Bao Xinghua, commander of the 1st Armored Division, the armored regiment of the 1st Armored Division of the 8th Theater and the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Mobile Corps immediately dispatched to kill the battlefield not far away, while the infantry who were ready to attack all followed and cooperated with the armored troops in battle.

On the other side of the battlefield, the commander of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, Isamu Yokoyama, was also taken aback, but he did not expect to encounter the armored troops under Chen Feng's command in this place, which made Isamu Yokoyama, a dignified lieutenant general of the Japanese army, break out in a cold sweat.

Nima, here is only more than 30 kilometers away from the logistics base of the Imperial Japanese Army, with the marching speed of the armored troops, if the road conditions are good, it will be half an hour's journey, if it is not for his good luck this time, I met this army on the road, I am afraid that tomorrow the logistics base of the Imperial Japanese Army will be wiped out, the front line of more than 100,000 troops have no supplies and no ammunition, how is the opponent of the Chinese army.

If these hundreds of thousands of troops are defeated, then the Eighth Division in Tongliao City will be in danger, and it is likely to cause a chain reaction at that time, and it is not impossible to lose more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops in World War I.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and immediately sent a report to the headquarters of the First Front Army, reporting the situation they encountered and his personal speculation to the headquarters of the First Front Army. At the same time, the troops were ordered to immediately launch an offensive against the opposing army of China.

Yokoyama Yong judged that Chen Feng's army would not be used for sneak attacks, at most an armored wing or a mechanized infantry brigade, because the nearest stronghold to Namusi was also hundreds of kilometers away, and with the marching speed of the armored troops and the consumption of ammunition and fuel, it was impossible for the Chinese army to have too many people. Therefore, Yokoyama didn't think about it, and directly ordered the troops to attack in an all-out way, and it was best to directly defeat the entire army of China.

In this way, the two most elite armies of China and Japan collided, the main force of the Chinese side was an armored division and a mechanized infantry division, while the Japanese side was an infantry division and a chariot division.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Da !!"

When the reinforcements from both sides rushed to the battlefield where the battle first took place, they saw 1670 tanks on the battlefield rampage, shooting at each other.

The reinforcements on both sides had no time to think about it at all, so they could only passively enter the battle. At the same time, due to the heavy rain, the whole battlefield was in chaos, and the scene could not see who had the upper hand, which one was at a disadvantage, and it was impossible to count their casualties.

An armored battalion of the Chinese army and a tank brigade of the Japanese army were the first to enter the battle, followed by a tank regiment of the Chinese army, followed by an armored division, and the Japanese army was the entire tank division and a tank wing attached to the 1st Infantry Division.

In the next half hour, the number of armored vehicles put into the battlefield on both sides exceeded 1,400, and the artillery carried by both sides at this time lost their effectiveness, because in this case, neither the enemy could be seen, nor could they distinguish their own people, so the artillery of both sides was very tacit, retreated a few kilometers, closely monitored the entire battlefield, but did not participate in the battle.

The infantry also chose to retreat, although both sides decided to press the whole army and fight quickly. But neither Bao Xinghua nor Yokoyama Yong thought that the other party's armored forces would be so huge, not ten hundreds, but hundreds, if you count the cars on both sides, it is even more than a thousand, in such a large-scale armored operation, the role of infantry is minimal, even the bazooka troops in the eighth theater of operations, because in the chaotic battlefield, especially on a rainy night with such little visibility, the infantry rashly entering the battlefield will only cause chaos to the armored troops, or be crushed into pulp.
