This is, of course, an anomaly. Lin Xiuxuan knew most of Zhou Youfu's attack plan, the small-scale grouping attack had ended 24 hours ago, the troops were returning, and his group should be at the rear of all the troops. In addition, the troops sent out by Zhou Youfu to harass the enemy's attack are all experienced old oil troops, although it is always inevitable to get lost alone, but this tank is almost not camouflaged with branches.

He looked at the tactical number on the tank with a telescope, belonging to the reconnaissance battalion of the 202 division. Zhou Youfu, like Chu Tingchang, was good at hiding his strength, and it was common for tank units to be temporarily organized and stuffed into reconnaissance units, and to some extent, it was also to confuse the Japanese. However, this number has been revoked ten days ago. As far as Lin Xiuxuan knew, after Zhou Youfu obtained the number of the group army, he had integrated the tanks that were originally scattered among the reconnaissance units into his mechanized infantry brigade or independent tank battalion for centralized use, and the color of the new number on the side of the turret was no longer white, but dark green with black edges. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the reorganization of the troops was too hasty, and some tanks did not have time to refresh their numbers.

He kept an eye on it, did not start the wheeled vehicle, but just called the other party on the radio, Zhou Youfu's attack used a handful of channels, and Ma Qiang could call the tank on all possible channels at the same time. The call indicates that the other party is moving in the wrong direction, so make a U-turn.

The tank, a few kilometers away, did not answer, but stopped, and after a few moments, a soldier in a tank cap poked his head out of a side viewing window to look around, and only then did he emerge from above, apparently in response to a radio call. Lin Xiuxuan felt that it was not like the commander, usually the commander would not stick his head out of the side hatch for the first time.

Lin Xiuxuan ordered himself to ride in the car at a low speed, leaked out of the turret behind a rock, and then sent a signal to the tank with a flashlight.

The other party saw the hound 1 km away, turned around and drove straight over, still did not answer on the radio, which was obviously against the norm.

Lin Xiuxuan realized that the situation might not be right, so he ordered the rest of the hounds to spread out to the sides, waiting to confirm the situation. He must keep an eye on it, Zhou Youfu's attack behind enemy lines has lost a lot of tanks, and maybe a few of them will be captured by the enemy and used for small-scale infiltration.

The Japanese tank confirmed that the opponent was just a thin-skinned 6-wheeled reconnaissance vehicle and was ready to swallow the opponent in one gulp, of course, the acting commander and loader knew that the opponent also had a 37-gun gun, so he had to face the target head-on. The hateful target has a cover in front of it, and the range of fire that can be fired is limited to the turret, which can only continue to approach.

The loader is usually the least big-picture member of the crew, and the general training is to reload with a hood. While striking directly at his opponent, he ordered the gunners to adjust their guns. It's a good idea, just wait for the target to get close enough, and kill it with an emergency stop, which of course is a roaring aim, revealing the intention in advance. Then he noticed that a second reconnaissance vehicle had appeared, separated by a large angle, and the front view had moved to his side.

In a panic, the agent thought he was completely exposed, and he ordered an emergency stop. Common sense told him that if he continued to get closer, his armor advantage would be negated. In addition, he was afraid of the enemy's numerical superiority, especially the one that moved to his side, and if the reconnaissance vehicle decided to rely on its speed to go around his rear, the enemy's linear speed in the circle might exceed the angular velocity of his turret.

According to the acting commander's assumption, he is bound to destroy the frontal target with lightning speed, and then turn in reverse, quickly turn the front to the side, and then easily take out the vehicle. His vision was based on the best of the best, without taking into account the negative factors of unfamiliar equipment and one less crew, and of course he didn't have any more options.

As soon as the tank stopped suddenly, Lin Xiuxuan knew that something was wrong, and patted the turret and ordered the driver to reverse. The brakes of the opposite high-speed tank caused the barrel to swing up and down, and in the process, the M8 quickly reared. However, the Japanese gunners still fired the shells very reluctantly, of course, because the original plan was to move within 100 meters, so there was no set ruler. The shells hit the muddy ground and splashed up a cloud of dust.

Xu Chong on the side reconnaissance vehicle had already prepared, and without waiting for Lin Xiuxuan's order, he immediately ordered to rush out of the forest and use a downhill slope to rush to the enemy's rear. What prompted him to make this risky decision was that he observed that the opposing commander was stupid enough to drill back into the turret after firing. In this way, the enemy will inevitably lose most of his observation ability, which will facilitate his sneak attack.

The Japanese tank immediately fell into a dilemma, the main problem was not that the acting commander was stupid, but that he had to drill back to reload, and when he made his decision, he did not think about the problem of reloading. He desperately stuffed the cannonballs, and from the side viewing window, he saw from where a chariot flashed and disappeared, which meant that the enemy would soon move to 7 o'clock.

Lin Xiuxuan had been standing on the turret to observe, and when he saw Xu Chong trying to shootout the enemy's rear, and the enemy tank began to awkwardly reverse and turn, he ordered the tank to move forward and personally fired the opponent's front with a 12.7mm machine gun in an attempt to interfere with his judgment.

The other party made a mistake in judgment again, turned to Xu Chong's turret to stop, and then reversed, trying to eat back grass and kill Lin Xiuxuan, because it seemed that the head-on target (Lin) had little movement in the direction, and it was easier to reach than the No. 2 target driving at high speed.

No one knows whether the Japanese crew had a disagreement on command at the last minute. In short, the steering of the chassis, which counteracted the speed of rotation of part of the turret, made the gunner's intention to fail.

Eventually, the Stewart was in complete trouble. It was unable to quickly destroy any of its targets, and a third reconnaissance vehicle appeared, also in the dead end.

Xu Chong was the first to rush to the 7 o'clock position, about 200 meters away, and fired at the turret with a machine gun. The enemy commander forgot to close the side viewing window (actually to increase the viewing), and this window was particularly large. Xu Chong was sure that in the bumpy car, at least a few shots hit the gap before the 60 rounds were gone.

Intensive strafing hit the armor, testing the luck of the Japanese.

Finally, a .50 bullet burrowed through the observation window and flew through the tank, instantly killing the acting commander in the roar, *cheap everywhere. Then the tank was hit by a high-speed * from Lin Xiuxuan's car and stopped completely.

Realizing that the enemy was finished, Lin ordered to stop shooting, but the order was somewhat late. The third reconnaissance vehicle (not commanded by the crew of the special team) rushed to the battlefield, fearing that it would miss the battle, quickly fired two shots at the finished tank, and the tank smoked.

Lin Xiuxuan's reconnaissance car arrived at him, he ran over with a fire extinguisher, sprayed smoke through the observation window, and finally brought the fire under control. He needed to find the necessary information to confirm the plan and scale of the enemy's infiltration of the troops, and the hateful tank was hit by his quick men.

He climbed up with his hot armor and jumped into the tank. The paper documents were all burned, and apparently the enemy would have a map with a plan of action, but unfortunately there were none. But Japanese sabers and tattered Japanese flags were found. The flags were full of names, large and small, and it seemed that there were at least sixty people, but Zhou Youfu lost less than one company of tanks in total, and most of them were destroyed and could not be repaired. There is no specific number on the flag, only an unofficial unit number like the Saito Special Attack Team, but it can be guessed that it was a suicide special attack mission.

When Lin got out of the tank, the commander of car No. 3 was looking at him with a hippie smile. Lin didn't have the time to scold him, so he got under the car, looked for the factory production batch number, and then immediately sent a telegram to Qin Xiaosu, asking for an investigation of the tank, and at the same time informing Qin Xiaosu that there might be enemy tank infiltration, and the scale may be less than the size of a company (with Zhou Youfu's loss of tanks as the upper limit). Of course, the infiltration may have ended, as he saw the tanks returning. He hopes that the alert will be strengthened, and his reconnaissance unit will return quickly to participate in the pursuit.

Qin Xiaosu investigated the source of the vehicle and found that the source was not the sequence of Chu Tingchang, but the first batch of tanks handed over to Chongqing after the repair of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and the destination was the first war zone, and then there was no record.

Obviously, things have become complicated, this is not a temporary idea to use the battlefield to capture tanks, the tanks are secretly transferred from the Chinese battlefield, which means that they have been premeditated and may be larger than they estimated.

At the same time, Captain Atami was far away from following Zhou Youfu's communications troops, and luckily, the various units retreated in a mixed manner along the way, although they were orderly, but no one checked them, and there were no pickets (gendarmes) that were the most difficult to deal with as warned by the southern organs. When fighting in Thailand, the picket troops of Chief Chu Pavilion were able to arrest the Japanese spies who had been in Thailand for 5 years, just because they couldn't sing two sentences of Cantonese opera Peony Pavilion.

The Japanese did not know the root of their luck, because Zhou Youfu blew away the picket brigade. Just after the picket brigade captured several smuggling battalion and company commanders of Zhou Youfu, his tolerance reached the limit, he felt that this unit was sent by Tao Mingzhang to deliberately embarrass himself, so he began to find ways to get rid of these people.

Atami's tank group was actually in the area controlled by Zhou Youfu's troops, which was more than 1,000 square kilometers, and the ghost envoy had touched the vicinity of his headquarters, and now he was only the last step away.

Zhou Youfu was holding a meeting at the headquarters to review the recent gains and losses of the strategy, and the recent short counterattack, which made him a little discouraged by repeated misses. The enemy's individual bazooka suddenly became a threat, a few months ago, the effective range of the Japanese bazooka was only 40 meters, and the penetration depth was insufficient, but now the accuracy is much better, some of his tanks came back from the front line, the hull has holes in the jet penetration, the company commanders reacted, the enemy is separated by a river, and sometimes it can effectively hit the tank.

He was asking for the frontal and flank defenses to be strengthened with track shoes, when suddenly a telegram arrived from Chu Tingchang, informing the enemy that there was a large-scale infiltration operation and that preparations should be made immediately to deal with it.

After all, Lao Zhou is a person who understands, and he knows that the enemy will come in, and he will inevitably find his own headquarters. His command did not have a decent defense, and the main alert troops were pulled by him to the warehouses and rushed to transport "private supplies". With his ability to move in all directions, at this moment, he has exerted the troop capacity to the extreme, and now the surrounding area of the headquarters is empty.

He asked his men where the nearest mobile unit was. The commander of the communications unit, who had just arrived, said that when he saw a tank returning during the march, the commander was stupid, and it seemed that he was the man who had formed the brigade. At that time, the unit was still trying to grab the way, but after being reprimanded, it retreated, and now it should be nearby, and the command can move closer to them.
