The five Type 95 tanks that feinted in the distance had no radio contact and no signal corps. They only heard the noise of various explosions here, and thought that Ensign Yanamoto's complicated tactics had succeeded, and turned around to help. These tanks were much more agile and shorter than the Churchill. For a while, he used the terrain to rush to the front, and the front was chaotic, and he couldn't see the enemy situation clearly, so he rushed in.

A Grant is reversing. Suddenly, a Type 95 broke into front of it, and hatefully, it appeared in the blind corner outside the shelling boundary. Considering that its main gun has a pitiful 30° or so firing range, in an encounter there is only a 1 in 12 chance that an immediate shot is possible.

Both sides were a little stunned, the Japanese army thought that the break-in was nothing more than to clean up the Chinese infantry, but they didn't expect to bump into the nightmarish Grant, so the position was ideal.

The driver of Grant quickly stepped on the accelerator, released the clutch, and waited for a second to pull with his left hand and push with his right hand, hoping to quickly bring the enemy into the main gun firing range with this set of combined operations. It's a reluctant move, he needs to start and turn almost synchronously with both hands and feet, and if he misses the pool, he will stop the engine. This will become a target. Of course, there was also a 37 mm gun on the Grant car, but this small cannon often hit the Japanese small tanks with a piercing one, and it could not have an immediate stopping effect. The 75 gun was different, even if it was close and missed, hitting the ground near the enemy tank, it often caused damage to the enemy's walking part.

The commander of the turret shouted to make the turret spin and prepare to catch up with the enemy tank to shoot. Everything is at a moment's notice, obviously this duel, it needs to depend more on luck, of course, the tank crews are full of confidence in luck, the interior space of this American tank is wide, so that the soldiers arranged a tablet of Guan Shengdi on the fire extinguisher box.

The Japanese driver was also a master of art and boldness, and without waiting for the commander's order, he immediately pushed the double pole forward to escape. The vehicle, which had been in a state of advancement, accelerated again and again, quickly escaping the threat of the main cannon attached to the slow-turning hull.

This is a new "North Manchurian" that arrived in April, and it moved fairly quickly on undulating ground, and for a moment it was 100 meters away, circling around the clumsy Grant, trying to grab it until 9 o'clock.

The shells fired by the Japanese gunners in a bumpy state miraculously hit Grant in the side. In principle, the thickness of the static crack of the Japanese artillery at such a distance was 5 centimeters, which was enough to penetrate the target.

* Exploded on the surface of the armor, injuring the commander, but failing to penetrate the inside of the tank. There are always variables in the thickness of static and dynamic armor piercing, and of course, there are also questions of angle and belief.

Grant's 37mm gun immediately returned to the color, easily penetrating the side of the turret of the Japanese tank, but the opponent was still moving, and the Japanese commander specially asked Shizuoka Wakalion Shrine for an exclusive amulet for armored soldiers before setting off last year, and it just so happened that this paper talisman was in the position where it was penetrated.

Even though the turret of the 95 was so cramped, the shells still grazed the commander's back and went out through the open signal window behind the turret, but this time the shot shook off the long origami invited by the shrine, and the origami was trampled under the feet of the commander who was in a hurry to reload the shells, and he didn't know it at all.

Grant quickly reversed and steered, and the Japanese commander had to load, making it impossible for him to continue to observe and command. The gunner did not hold his breath again and fired at the top turret of Grant. Once again, the shell failed to penetrate, the insignificant charge failed to blow up the sighting device on the surface of the turret, and he should have shot the chassis, perhaps with a chance to stop the behemoth.

It was Grant's turn to shoot, and this time the gunner calmly aimed at the driver's position. Being able to think of this in the second shot of the encounter was thanks to the special education of Chu Tingchang, after each battle, Chu Tingchang would inevitably pull the gunners to the destroyed Japanese tanks to observe, not to see the thickness of the armor in each part, because it was very thin and seemed unnecessary, but to see the position of the enemy's crew. For small-caliber kinetic energy projectiles fired by American artillery without charge, it is critical to remember these positions. Commander Chu asked the gunners to look at the markings on the Japanese armor, such as rivets, external tools, and scribbles, and to remember the position of the crew behind them.

He aimed the muzzle behind the course machine gun with the bulging chassis of the enemy's chassis, not to destroy a machine gun, but on the other side of the machine gun was the driver, usually whose head was at the same height as the machine gun. The Japanese tanks were cramped, and the crew did not have much room to change positions.

Without any advance corrections, the gunner fired directly at a distance of 90 meters. Once again, the shell easily pierced through one side of the armor, the machine gun and the driver's head, and then through the hull. Blood mist can be seen spewing from the observation hole of the enemy tank driver. The Japanese tank suddenly turned and leaked its butt. Grant slowly turned around. A 75-mm shell entered from behind, which immediately detonated the ammunition and blew the turret away.

At the same time, the remaining 4 95 vehicles that rushed in also suffered a devastating blow. Most of them ran over the * buried by the infantry, blew up the chassis, and were killed by the infantry at close range. The battle lasted only 15 minutes and was settled. This was the first time Ma Qiang commanded a battle independently, and he won a complete victory, the only regret was that a tank was blown up by a Japanese suicide attack when it stormed into the warehouse, and the track and several load-bearing wheels were damaged.

Lin Xiuxuan asked Ma Qiang on the radio why he was still dragging mud and water, and the enemy defense line on the highway was constantly devouring the lives of soldiers. Ma Qiang told him that a valuable tank was partially damaged, and that it was a pity that it was not repaired, so Lin Xiuxuan ordered the tank to be blown up immediately and outflanked to the enemy's rear.

Lin threw down the radio, still a little angry in his heart, how could Ma Qiang also be affected by the poor acid soldiers of this era, and he also became a mother-in-law, thinking about this trivial gain and loss all day long.

He had also lost a Grant here, a tank covering the advance of the infantry, and was hit by hidden direct fire, and was temporarily unable to move. With 5 trucks and more than a dozen horses to drag it, the Japanese army mobilized heavy artillery vitality within 20 minutes, and continued to cover, Lin could only order the evacuation of all personnel. After firing hundreds of shells, the Japanese finally had a 105 shell that hit the tank directly, which will be the vocabulary. The frontal attack was very slow, and the ability of the composite regiment to attack the fortified position was tested. The 31st Division is a newly formed and little-known new division, but because it is close to the port of Sittwe, it has received a lot of artillery directly under the army nearby, and this unit has enough time to get information from the headquarters and adjust its deployment, and the expeditionary force's plan to break through along the rear road of the new 38th Division is so obvious.

He also had a few light tanks, which had already maneuvered south to join Qin Xiaosu, hoping to outflank the enemy from the other direction, but unfortunately the entire defensive situation of the 31st Division was still not clear. He didn't have time for Ma Qiang and Xu Chong to wait for the night to do a comprehensive survey of the enemy's deployment.

Ma Qiang quickly stuffed the inside of the almost intact tank* and blew it to pieces, and then he had to rely on 2 tanks and a company of infantry to carry out a rear outflank. The Japanese army seemed to have received the news of the presence of an expeditionary force here, and sent men and horses to deploy in the forest with anti-tank guns.

Xu Chong's drone is condescending, he can see the general deployment of the Japanese army, these guns need to be dragged by livestock, and it is not easy to hide, and at the same time he also saw that the Japanese army was buried on the dirt road*, the anti-tank ideas are similar in these years, and you have to guess the opponent's route first. He guided Grant down the dirt road, far away from the ambush area. Avoid tangling with these secondary enemies. Grant's mobility ability is more prominent, and he can act on relatively undulating ground to implement Lin Xiuxuan's intentions.

The Japanese blocking detachment had been waiting for the Chinese tanks, and most of the scouts they sent came back to report that they had found nothing, and the only one who had gone the right way had died under Xu Chong's gun, unable to report the truth.

Grant successfully bypassed the two blocking positions, basically completing the suddenness of the battle. Unfortunately, his drones are not capable of far-reaching reconnaissance, so there is no way to know the location of the enemy's headquarters or artillery. Fortunately, Lin Xiuxuan did not press the treasure in one place, he divided the tank force into two parts.

Four hours later, Ma Qiang's men and horses reached the rear of the Japanese-controlled road, far from the ring road. The Japanese soldiers who were moving forward on the highway sat in the truck and waved their hands here, seeing that the shape of the tank was wrong, and when the tank stopped, a cloud of smoke came out, and the shells came to the front of the truck in a blink of an eye, blowing the truck over. Grant then set in motion and slaughtered the Japanese army. Xu Chong alone couldn't find an important target, so he killed it.

20 kilometers away, Qin Xiaosu was squatting on a mountain, measuring enemy signals. He doesn't have a drone, but he has a set of simple Yagi antennas in his hands, but this simple American-made lateral device is not as simple as a receiver or power amplifier, his equipment has intercepted more than 200 enemy communications, identified and tracked voice, analyzed the content of the communication, and also deciphered encrypted communications. His detector could even hear Ma Qiang's confidential call with Xu Chong. No device in this era could intercept the communications of the task force, except for their own.

By listening to the movements of the Japanese army, and then deducing the approximate deployment, the 33rd Division did not underestimate the counterattack of the expeditionary force, they deployed along the road, and there were a large number of reserves to deal with possible interspersed and counterattacks of the new 38th Division. Speculating on the Japanese army's plan, resisting one by one along the road, consuming the living forces, equipment, and time of the composite group, especially the latter being the most valuable, because it and the Japanese army were gathering and rushing.

This plan is obviously the most rational deployment that can be made after putting down the invincible figure of the Japanese army and carefully thinking about the situation, which shows that the Japanese army is still good at learning. If the large UAVs of 419 existed, the situation would be much more favorable, and now, reconnaissance in all aspects, although it is possible to piece together the general context, cannot get a glimpse of the whole picture.

He quickly marked the location of the enemy's headquarters on the map, and the distance was too far for it to be possible to sneak up on a few M5s. But the mountain artillery unit was located just 10 kilometers away and seemed to be able to attack.

In the mountain pass, the soldiers holding bicycles and the soldiers of the tank platoon have been waiting stupidly, they didn't see that the Japanese planes crashed last night under Qin Xiaosu's strategy, they only knew that the two commanders above were not like doing this. Neither the courage to take the lead, nor the ability to command, always running high with a wooden box on his back.
