Inside the German tank, which was talking to the contact radio behind him, Sergeant Milno felt a shell fall on his tank very close. He was taken aback by this near-miss bullet, and hurriedly gave the order to move quickly: "Japanese artillery attack! Get out of here quickly! Hurry! Hurry!"

Although the shell from the grenadier exploded very close to the German tank, the bursting shrapnel did not penetrate the heavy armor of the German tank. Although the sound of vibration and shrapnel hitting the tank could be felt, it did startle the German crew members in the tank, but the actual effect of this shell was really no other than to make the German tank move again.

Because the Japanese army lacked the support of large-caliber artillery, those limited resources were not snatched away by the navy, but used to produce weapons and equipment such as fighters, so the Japanese army has developed a relatively alternative ability under the distortion of the current situation: using mortars and grenadiers to shoot accurately and cover infantry operations.

The reality is that the Japanese grenadiers and mortars have a very high accuracy of attack, and in popular parlance, people play with these weapons rather slippery! Therefore, within a few seconds of the German tanks starting, several grenadier shells fell, enveloping the German tanks in a barrage.

There were about 8 grenadiers on the Japanese firing positions, and these grenadiers fired the most shells they could in one go, throwing them at the positions where the German tanks were located. As a result, the members of the German armored forces, including Sergeant Mirno, experienced the first bloody baptism of shells after they arrived in the Far East.

"Hell, the Japanese shells hit really accurately! Although the caliber is not large, and the power is average, this accuracy is really fatal. Mirno squinted and complained as he squinted inside the bobbing tank, feeling the impact of the explosion of the shells outside.

He was also not very accustomed to the situation in front of him, on the Soviet-German battlefield, although the Soviet Union's heavy artillery support was much bloodier and more brutal than this, but after all, it was not fast in terms of reflection time, and it did not have such a high degree of accuracy. The Japanese artillery in front of him seemed to be more compact and flexible, and it seemed to be more lethal for the German tanks.

"If these small artillery pieces are not a threat at all in the original troops, we can easily use skilled infantry follow-up and a large number of tank units to completely crush these points of fire. But right now, we don't have that many options...... Let the tanks of the 2nd platoon rush up at an accelerated pace!If the Japanese have anti-tank weapons or tanks, we will think of other ways!" Mirno, after talking to himself, gave the order to put the reserves into battle.

So, the Japanese army had not been happy for a while that their grenadiers had suppressed the German tanks, and they discovered something that made them a little laughable and crying. In the woods opposite, more German tank engines roared out, doubling the number of German tanks on the battlefield at once.

Combined with other Soviet tanks and armored vehicles, the entire battlefield immediately turned into a one-sided slaughter, and even if the Japanese had a grenadier weapon, they really couldn't deal with such a large number of armored troops. In addition, the Soviet infantry in front had already captured too many positions, and the Japanese defense line collapsed in an instant, and the counterattack that had some rhythm just now also disappeared completely.

......

"Mooxi...... It's me! Let's be clear, what does it mean to lose your position? Nani? Yaga! If you can't regain your lost position tomorrow morning, you should apologize!" Ishihara scolded the front-line officer who had called him, and then threw the receiver of the phone on the table.

Throwing away the phone, he turned his head, looked at the mountain with a wry smile on his face, frowned and said: "I worked hard for 22 days, and I barely took the place, and just now it took these fools four hours to lose it to me! ”

Yamashita shook his head helplessly, then looked at Ishihara and said, "I heard that the Germans' tank forces are very powerful, and even the Soviets are helpless...... Presumably, the troops on the front line should have fought bravely, but the gap between us and the Third Reich Army is too great......"

Even if the Imperial Army of Japan does not dare to say that it is invincible in the world, it should have a heart to forge ahead in the face of shame! Even if we are inferior to the German army in weapons, we should make up for the gap in weapons with the belief that we will win!" Ishihara Waner gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "That is the land that countless soldiers have exchanged their lives for, four hours...... In four hours, all the commanders there should be shattered!

In fact, it is really not to blame Ishihara for being furious, because the reserves in his hands are very limited, so he pinned his hopes of resisting the counterattack of the Far Eastern Republic on the front-line defensive positions he carefully constructed. This defensive position is divided into three main defensive areas, and he expects to use these lines to delay for about three months.

With this time, he can merge those recruits on the front line, so that His Majesty the Emperor's hundreds of thousands of troops supporting him can be used to fight. On the other hand, three months can also make Japan's defense line along the Heilongjiang River more stable, and the Tiger Head and other fortresses more complete, so that the situation is more favorable to the Japanese Empire.

Of course, it would have been better if these lines of defense had been used to drag Germany into the quagmire of war and accept Japan's demands for peace...... But now it seems that all this is now unlikely, because the first of the three lines of defense that carried these hopes collapsed in front of only 10 German tanks, barely holding up for four hours.

Now the Germans have only 10 tanks, what if the Germans mobilize more tanks after another month? If the Germans have 50 tanks, will their lines be torn apart and destroyed in an instant? What if the Germans bring in 100 tanks? What about 200 tanks?

Because of the existing border with the Axis powers and the fact that they were at the forefront of the war between the two sides, Ishihara carefully studied the opponent, the German armored forces, with what little information Japan had.

Through some information on paper, he knew that the basic establishment of the armored divisions of the Germans was 360 tanks. That is to say, if his troops collide head-on with a German armored division, they will not be able to withstand it for 1 hour at all, and they will be torn to pieces by the torrent of steel. A German Panzer Corps generally has more than 1,000 tanks, which is almost as many as almost all the vehicles in Ishihara's hands.

"Yaga...... How could the Germans and Americans have such a huge steel production, how could they have so many and such good tanks?" Ishihara couldn't help but complain when he thought of this, every tank in his tank force was extremely precious, but the Germans already had thousands of better equipped tanks -- how could he fight this war?

He looked at the map and carefully studied the map of the theater of operations with his hands behind his back - he considered whether to withdraw his main forces and rearrange his defensive positions in the mountains and forests. Such a defensive position would allow him to barely avoid the tank superiority of the Germans and reduce the possible losses of his troops.

However, another fatal question arises, for in order to rearrange his defensive positions, he has to give up many unsuitable areas that he has already occupied - how can he explain to his superiors and His Majesty the Emperor? Who will be able to tell whether this is a contraction of the line or a rout by the Germans?

Moreover, he had not seen the German tanks with his own eyes, and he still felt that if he reinforced some of the defensive positions with armored units and anti-tank guns, he would be able to resist the attacks of these German tanks. Thinking of this, Ishihara finally decided to hold his ground, his second line of defense had tank troops and anti-tank guns - the two sides always had to really fight, and they could decide what happened next, right?

......

After occupying the Japanese positions, the Soviet infantry was apparently very satisfied with their results, and the trenches were full of soldiers cleaning the battlefield, and occasionally passing by German tanks, shouting words of praise at the resting German tank crews.

Milno, who was not with his crew at this time, but accompanied by an interpreter and a Soviet officer, went to visit the Japanese weapon that made his appearance in the Far East tortuous and disgraced.

"Are these little things that almost hit my tank?" Michelle looked at the Japanese grenadiers lined up in the trenches with blood stains on them, and then looked at the Japanese corpses stacked together not far from these grenadiers, frowned, and asked the interpreter.

"Yes......! The Japanese used to have the infantry carry these grenadier cartridges separately, so that they could have good front-line artillery support without having a special transport force. When the Soviet officer heard the interpreter's words, he nodded and answered Mirno's question: "They are very clever and very brave...... It is an opponent that deserves our serious study. ”

Mirno nodded, then laughed: "Maybe, I believe they are opponents worthy of our serious study...... But when the rest of our tank regiment arrives, hopefully they'll have more surprises to show us. If they don't, then it is clear that they will see a real war, a war in Europe!"
