The reason why Yoshio Shinozuka hid the chariot wing in the first place was entirely based on the experience provided by other units. Regardless of whether the Japanese admit it or not, on the current Chinese battlefield, it is undeniable that the Japanese have been far behind in their chariot skills and technical and tactical level. Prior to the introduction of the Hikari tank, the Japanese had high hopes for their newest tank, the Type 97 Quirrell Medium Tank. Well, in the second Battle of the Great Wall, Quirrell entered the battlefield as the main tank for the first time, but he was bound to lose every time he "Jiguang", and even ran away when he saw Jiguang in the later stage of the Second Battle of the Great Wall, unlike the tank that became a dog in the wilderness.

Quirrell couldn't do it, and the Japanese painstakingly developed the Type 99. And how? After the Battle of Nanjing, Qian Guangming defeated the Type 99 of a brigade of the Japanese army with a brigade of tanks, and after this battle, although the Japanese were still clamoring at every turn for how to fight to the death with the Cadet Army, but in their reliance, there was no longer the shadow of the chariot unit.

If Ouyang Yun and Koizumi Tonichiro did not appear in the history of this time and space, then although the Japanese chariots would be outstanding on the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese would definitely not attach too much importance to the development of chariots. The progress of the opponent determines the degree of its own development, and it is true that the fundamental reason why the Japanese are now basically equipped with separate tank units in both Division A and Division B is precisely because of the strength of the tank units of the Cadet Army. What Ouyang Yun didn't know was that it was precisely because he had drummed up the Jiguang tank early that Japanese tank experts and tacticians had received more attention and support, and until Koizumi Toshiichiro appeared in the sky, and now, the Japanese have transferred all the stocks and domestic old-fashioned tanks to the Chinese battlefield in preparation for replacing products.

This is a Japanese military secret. Yoshio Shinozuka didn't know anything about it. And the reason why he treasured this chariot wing was because although the wing was weak against the student army, it was still the main force of the army when it encountered the Chinese troops of other factions.

Sending Ono's chariot wing to intercept Yang Jianfeng's regiment, Yoshio Shinozuka also had the foresight to not expect them to be able to defeat Yang Jianfeng's regiment, and his original words to Ono's request were: As long as you can block it for two hours, you can complete the mission.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked up to Ono's true nature, of course, in other words, it can also be said that he looked up to his chariot wing. Ono and the soldiers under his command have this courage and determination, but mechanized combat is not based on human will, and mechanical performance is the first factor that determines victory or defeat. So, a scene that made Yoshio Shinozuka and Isamu Yokoyama stunned soon appeared.

Ono really took the chariot troops to break away from the large army, and Yang Jianfeng's regiment met him. Then, the two sides began to shoot at each other from a distance of 1,000 meters. In the rumbling explosion, one after another Quirrell and the old 99 burst into flames and exploded, and the worse ones were directly lifted off the turret and turned into a pile of burning scrap metal.

The battle lasted only twenty minutes before and after - it was not a one-level battle at all, whether it was Quirrell or the old-fashioned 99, the Japanese tank artillery had good skills, and they were able to hit the target frequently, but the result was incredible. After the explosion of the "boom", the "mandrill" that was hit only had a little dent or abrasion on the body, paused slightly, and then continued to rumble. On the other hand, Quirrell and the old 99, no matter where they are hit, even if they are wiped and explode, they will either turn into a pile of burning scrap metal, or lose their ability to maneuver, and then be turned into a pile of scrap metal by a single shot.

After more than 20 minutes of fighting, one combat vehicle of Yang Jianfeng's regiment was not damaged, but the infantry on board suffered more than a dozen casualties. What about Ono's real chariot wing? More than 20 tanks were destroyed one after another, and the others, seeing that the situation was not right, turned around and ran, which at once caused a riot in the infantry that was dragging behind.

Seeing this, Yoshio Shinozuka scolded: "Eight Geyalu! Ono Motoma, what the hell are you doing? "I'm trying to let the lagging infantry form a sniper. Isamu Yokoyama patted him on the shoulder and said, "Shinozuka-kun, I think it's better to forcibly cross the river!" ”

"Forcibly crossing the river? What to do with the artillery of the Chinese people? ”

"Disperse it, so that the people of China will not be able to organize artillery fire!"

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the "Mandrill" tank regiment of the Cadet Army, which was pressing towards the infantry behind, and then looked at the surrounding terrain, so he had no choice but to give an order, leaving Okada's 8th Brigade to snipe and pursue the enemy, and let the other troops advance to the upper reaches of Xiushui as a brigade, and said that as long as they could open up a distance of one kilometer from the brigades in front and behind, they could cross the river freely.

Yoshio Shinozuka's order may have been correct, because by nine o'clock that night, nearly 25,000 men of the 10th and 108th Divisions had successfully escaped the pursuit of the Cadet Army. Of course, if you consider that more than 17,000 of them were annihilated, the losses are not unheavy, and their successful breakthrough is too great.

The 10th and 108th Divisions attacked first and then fled, and then suffered heavy casualties in the pursuit of several divisions of the Cadet Corps. Yamamuro Sotake, who received the battle report from Taniguchi Motojiro, did not dare to continue to entangle with Jiang Tiezhang's guerrilla Third Division, and immediately led his army to withdraw to Madang.

On February 4, after the Battle of Nanchang successfully encircled and annihilated the Japanese army in Fengxin in the Ninth Theater of the Chongqing Government, the curtain came to an end with a great victory over the Chinese side and a great defeat for the Japanese side. During the battle, the Japanese 11th Army suffered more than 150,000 casualties, of which more than 150,000 were killed in battle. In addition, the 2nd Army suffered more than 17,000 casualties, and about 17,000 were killed. What about China? The Cadet Corps suffered more than 17,000 casualties, and the casualties in the Ninth War Zone of the Chongqing Government were about 2,000.

After this news appeared in the newspaper later that day, once it spread, it immediately shocked the world. Let's not talk about the people in China's unoccupied areas, it's a carnival all night, what about the occupied areas? Although the Japanese army strengthened the blockade of public opinion, the news of this victory grew like grass in the cracks of the stone in spring, and soon spread in the occupied areas.

This time, whether it is Nishio Shouzo or Shunroku Hatata, no one dares to hide anything from the Tokyo base camp anymore. As a result, at a time when various parts of China were in a carnival, the atmosphere of the Tokyo Imperial Palace and the location of the Japanese base camp was like a national funeral, and it fell into extreme dullness and sluggishness.

The whereabouts of Okamura Ninji were not disclosed by the Ninth War Zone, and there was no relevant statement from the Japanese. As a result, the culprit of the defeat of the Japanese army in the Battle of Nanchang did not appear in Emperor Hirohito's denunciation. Of course, according to the political practice of the Japanese, the army has suffered such a big defeat on the front line, and the rear will definitely hold those responsible accountable. So, the next day, Nobuyuki Abe stepped down, and the former Minister of the Navy and Commander of the Combined Fleet, Hiroshi Yonechi, turned around and became the new Prime Minister of the Japanese Cabinet.
