Although the Japanese sniper was still a little unwilling in his heart, since he knew that his troops had begun to retreat on all fronts, he did not dare to continue to delay here. After all, he had already learned from other people's mouths that this order had been given for a while, and the Japanese troops in the other neighborhoods had basically withdrawn from seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, or eight, in other words, it was definitely not a surprising thing for the Chinese to appear at any time in this situation.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only choose to give up decisively.

After all, if the Chinese army really appeared, they would definitely not be opponents―――――― unlike the Japanese in the history of Yan Shao's time, after experiencing many setbacks, although the Japanese character still seems very arrogant, they no longer dare to look down on China as they did in the past.

So in order to prevent his people from being dumpled by the Chinese, the sniper soon evacuated from the same place with the others. Only Cai Wenying was left to be cautious and vigilant in place until he encountered a large army.

Seriously, it is difficult to say who is more beneficial to the departure of the Japanese.

Judging from the shape of the time alone, it was naturally beneficial to the Japanese, after all, the Japanese had the obvious upper hand in numbers at that time. But Cai Wenying is not completely dependent, at least he still has an advantage in the terrain, not to mention that there are still a few grenades in his hand, and the power is by no means small.

In addition, Cai Wenying himself is also a veteran, saying that he can use the equipment in his hand to destroy all the Japanese on the other side, which he really can't do. Because if you can do this, it is estimated that only a military of Rambo's level can do it.

But if you say. He has the ability to hinder the approach of these Japanese, even for more than ten minutes or even half an hour, but there is no problem. After all, the gun in his hand is not vegetarian either. What's more, the Japanese also need to consider the issue of casualties, and it is impossible to rush directly regardless of casualties...

And as long as you hold out a little longer, and wait until the large forces in the rear come up, then I am afraid that the Japanese will suffer in the end. Therefore, in this confrontation, it can't be said which side suffers―――――― if you don't count Cai Wenying's two comrades-in-arms who have died...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Now that they knew that the Chinese had increased their troops and were planning to fight a decisive battle head-on, it was naturally impossible for the Japanese to continue to waste their forces on the offensive. Especially after being reminded. Utsunomiya Taro even made up his mind, wanting to have a 'return of the other's way to the other' to use the same means to consume the Chinese.

Of course, passive defense is definitely not Utsunomiyataro's style. It also doesn't fit the character of the Japanese. It's just that at the moment, except for the news that the Chinese are increasing their troops and planning to fight a decisive battle, they have no other swimming information, so at the moment, Utsunomiya Taro can only consolidate the defense line first, and wait until the Chinese are clear before making a decision...

So after receiving the order. The troops that were still attacking in Dandong City quickly retreated. Disengagement from the Wehrmacht, which was engaged in fierce fighting. This was true not only of Dandong, but also of Japanese troops in other directions in northern Korea. Many Japanese troops who were charging at the positions of the Korean Defense Forces immediately broke away from the battle after receiving the order, leaving the officers and men on the positions somewhat confused.

After all, in their impression, these Japanese are usually the type who never die, and sometimes even the troops that launched the attack are all dead, and they have never chosen to retreat...

And Feng Guozhang's reaction was also very fast, after the commander on the front reported the situation. Feng Guozhang soon gave the order for the troops on the front line to carry out a tentative 'advance' ―――――― tentative. In other words, if you encounter an obstacle or resistance, you will immediately stop moving forward.

Cai Wenying was rescued under this circumstance, otherwise if he really waited for the group of Japanese soldiers to surround him, I am afraid his fate would be more worrying. However, with the weapons in his hands, coupled with the skills he has developed on the battlefield over the years, it is absolutely no problem to say that he can drag a few more people into the water...

After all, the [gun-mounted grenade] hanging from his rifle has already shown very good power in this armed conflict. In the offensive and defensive battles in Dandong, the Japanese suffered a lot.

In particular, the anti-armor capability of the [gun-mounted grenade] is not to be underestimated, and the Japanese armored forces have suffered a lot in Dandong and several other battlefields...

Armored forces ...

――――――――――――――――――――

Unlike the Japanese Army in history, China was weak in history and could not pose much of a threat to Japan on land. Therefore, the only thing the Japanese Army had to worry about was Soviet Russia in the north. Historically, the Japanese Army has always regarded Soviet Russia as an adversary, and there is no reason for this, after all, for Japan at that time, especially for the Japanese Army, China was really a worthless opponent, and it was not even qualified to take a look at it.

What Japan had for China at that time was only greed, not the slightest fear.

This is even more true after the capture of the Northeast by Light Yì...

The problem was that Soviet Russia also had to face pressure from the European side, and it was simply impossible to invest too many troops in the Far East. In addition, Japan attaches great importance to the navy, and has invested a lot of resources in the navy, while armored combat vehicles and other equipment require a lot of steel, considering Japan's industrial base at that time, there is also a low steel production capacity, which has caused the situation of the Japanese army's equipment is very poor―――――― of course, this so-called strange difference is only relative, at least in Asia, the equipment of the Japanese army is still very good, but compared with the European side, it is really a bit too simple, It can even be said that it is not worth mentioning.

When the commanders of the Soviet and German armies had begun to command thousands of tanks and other armored vehicles on the battlefields of World War II, the Japanese were not even able to use their own worthless 'bean' tanks...

(The Bean, the Japanese Type 94 ultralight tank.) It was a Japanese-made tank, nicknamed the 'Shodoi Tank', with a gun turret in the upper part of the body. Its main armament is 1 machine gun, the early Type 91 6.5 mm machine gun, later replaced by 7.7 mm machine guns, a few vehicles have been equipped with 37 mm guns, it should be noted that the weight of this tank is only a little more than 3 tons, even the full combat weight can not be much more. ）

Of course, for the Chinese Army at that time. Even if this kind of thing is thrown on the battlefields of Europe, it will not even be called scum, and it will take a very large price to destroy. And this situation has once again aggravated the Japanese people's lack of attention to weapons and equipment such as armored combat vehicles.

The end result is that if you put those main tanks on the European continent. For example, when a tank such as the Tiger is brought to the Asian battlefield, it is basically no problem to fight ten at a time.

However, at this time, the Japanese were completely different from history, and the Soviet Russia, which was supposed to pose a great threat to Japan in history, was gone, and was replaced by China, which was a greater threat.

Leaving aside for the time being, which of China's power is stronger than the historical Soviet Russia―――――― after all, no matter what. At that time, Soviet Russia had an army of millions. There are also tens of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, etc., such a force is definitely not comparable to China at this time, and even not comparable to Japan in later generations ...

But one thing must be certain, that is, for Soviet Russia at that time, the Far East was only a region of little importance to it. Soviet Russia did not put all its forces in the Far East at all, and its real main force was all in Europe.

And what about China? Northeast China is one of the most important heavy industry bases in China, and even this one can be removed. Japan's colony of Korea is right next door to the northeast, and there is a big difference.

In addition, Japan is far from being as powerful as it was in the past. The pressure it faced was even stronger than it was in the face of Soviet Russia.

――――――――――――――――――――

It was precisely because of this extremely large pressure that even the extremely arrogant Japanese Army had to make some changes. One of the more prominent changes is this. It is a radical change from the past practice of despising weapons and equipment and one-sidedly emphasizing the spiritual role of bushido.

Although Japan only participated indirectly in the recent European war (for example, sending sailors to Europe to help fight in British warships). But on the Western Front, the Japanese sent a large number of observation missions. Their task is to observe the situation on the Western Front, as well as the strength of the Chinese ...

During this period, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's appearance at Verdun impressed these Japanese, and the prominence of the armored forces in the Battle of the Somme was even more jaw-dropping...

So not long after the end of the European War, in order to fight against China's armored forces, Japan purchased a batch of Renault tanks from France, and at the same time copied some of them themselves. This is probably the first armored unit in Japan, and it is indeed much stronger than the same period in history in terms of scale.

On the other hand, the power of the new weapon of the tank in the face of trenches has long been proven in the European theater. Since the Japanese want to drive the Chinese out of Korea, it is naturally impossible not to throw in this new weapon ...

However, as experts in the use of tanks, even if the Wehrmacht has never paid attention to Japanese tanks, the defensive positions they have built and consolidated are definitely not something that can be shaken by Japan's armored forces that are not yet large and climatic.

There is no even need to dispatch tank units in the northeast, and the 37mm anti-tank guns equipped in the main forces alone can easily teach Japanese tankers how to behave...

By the time the Japanese launched the offensive, many tanks had been destroyed by Wehrmacht anti-tank guns before they even reached the Wehrmacht's positions. And this scene made Utsunomiya Taro feel distressed.

After all, Japan is a place with a lack of resources, and even if there is more North Korea, it will not make much difference. These Renault tanks seem simple, but in fact, they were created by Japan with great difficulty. Having destroyed so much at once, how could Utsunomiya Taro not feel distressed.

Of course, this scene is only limited to the battlefield in northern Korea, as for the Dandong side...

Although the size of the 37mm anti-tank gun is not large, it is not suitable for use in the city, especially when the entire city has been reduced to rubble.

Therefore, in addition to using mines, anti-tank guns and other equipment to deal with Japanese Renault fighting vehicles, the soldiers fighting in Dandong still used gun-mounted grenades as anti-tank weapons.

Nature. Something like a gun grenade is useless against the tanks of later generations. After all, those tanks of later generations, even ordinary shells hit. It may not be of any use.

But the tanks of this era were very different, especially the Renault tanks that the Japanese were equipped with.

The Renault tank made by the French was indeed the first modern tank in history, but its total weight was only 7 tons. And even the thickest part of the armor is only 22 mm, and the thinnest part is only 6 mm, even if you take a hammer, I'm afraid you can smash a hole.

Such thin armor, let alone an anti-tank gun. Even a slightly more powerful anti-tank rifle can be pierced lightly. If this were not the case, how could there be such a thing as an anti-tank rifle in the history of warfare and be used until the Second World War?

However, the Wehrmacht was not equipped with any anti-tank guns. Although some people have built yì, Yan Shao has also vetoed this kind of yì. After all, this kind of equipment has been proven to be ―――――― will eventually be eliminated by history, and it can't be said that after all, there will be large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifles like Barrett in later generations. It's just that a simple anti-tank rifle is really not necessary. Because Yan Shao already has a better replacement, that is, the gun-mounted grenade on Yan Shao.

Although it is only a weapon used against infantry or some fortifications, the following ordnance experts have also considered the issue of anti-armor when designing. Therefore, the grenades currently used by the Wehrmacht can be both.

Of course, it is difficult to say that all of them are perfectly done, at least at the level of technology in this era.

Therefore, the main focus of this grenade is on fire support. As for anti-armor, it's just a part-time job. But even that is enough. After all, the armored vehicles and tanks equipped by various countries are still in a very primitive state, and even the most ordinary grenades are enough to deal a very fatal blow to them. I don't dare to say that one shot is blown off, and there is absolutely no problem with being half-crippled...

Of course, it is precisely because of the Wehrmacht's various anti-tank methods that the Japanese tank units have never raised their heads on the banks of the Yalu River.

And this situation has also aroused the interest of military observers in various countries.

After all, some of the new technologies that the Chinese military has demonstrated in this conflict are not available in other countries, especially in tanks and anti-tanks. For the people of this era, China was the first country to invent the tank, and at the same time the first country to produce it.

Even now, the armies of European countries such as Britain, France, Italy, and even the Netherlands, as well as the United States, Canada, Australia, and South American countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, are still equipped with a considerable number of Chinese-made tanks. Some of them were purchased from China by Britain and France during the European War, and some were purchased by Brazil and other countries after the end of the war――――――.

And after the end of the war, it is not surprising that these countries purchased relevant weapons and equipment from China. Who said that China was the first to invent the tank, and at the same time the first country to put tanks on the battlefield, even the most advanced tank technology...

In addition, there are fighter jets and other aviation weapons, if it were not for the technology provided by China to provide the [Shooting Coordinator], I am afraid that the [Fokker disaster] that occurred in Europe would have lasted for a long, long time...

In short, China may be inferior to Britain in the eyes of the world and inferior to France in its navy and army, but in some respects, China already has something to compare with Britain and France.

And in this regard, even Britain and France had to admit it ...

As for the United States?

Although the United States is trying to develop its own tanks, in fact, they are still producing tanks that provide technology under the production license they bought from China―――――― although the Wehrmacht has begun to plan to phase out these equipment that is not very reliable and equip it with another tank that is more reliable...

In fact, many of China's equipment are now well-known in various countries, such as the gun-mounted grenade, which has aroused the interest of observers in various countries when it was first introduced. After all, compared with the gun grenades used by various countries now, although the cost of gun grenades is on the higher side, and the use is more complicated, the effectiveness it can play in combat is definitely not comparable to gun grenades...

For example, some countries in South America have even begun to consider whether to import some weapons from China.

Naturally, these are not mentioned, but these countries in South America, including other countries, are obviously not clear. The Wehrmacht, for its part, has begun to develop a more powerful piece of equipment that is far more powerful than the so-called grenades.

The name of this weapon is also very simple ...

Grenade launcher...
