"Ho?"

How can it be! How could the Chinese have chariots? Why do those cowards have armored forces!?

Captain Kato's face was full of confusion and shock, and this series of blows made him really a little dumbfounded.

No one answered his question, and the roar of the engine was the best explanation.

"Captain, we... Want to retreat? ”

Kato's musings were interrupted by the gunner's trembling voice, who was also embarrassed, the other side clearly had a numerical advantage, and the most rational way at this time was to retreat first and retreat to avoid the edge for a while.

"Give the order to the other vehicles, turn left and move towards both enemy flanks."

Unexpectedly, instead of giving the order to retreat, Kato rushed towards the enemy.

"Rhonda? Your Excellency, this is not..."

"Shut up! We are all the emperor's most elite warriors, and the glory of the empire must not be lost in the hands of our generation, even if we die, we must die in the way of the charge! 殺せ! ”

Kato roared hoarsely, knowing that he might step into the abyss, but the spirit of bushido forced him to do so.

On the other hand, the shelling from the rear continues, and if you retreat like this, you will be in a dilemma, and if you rashly expose your ass to the enemy, you will be chased and beaten like a rabbit.

It is better to go out and fight him, with the virtue of the Chinese people, even if they have good equipment, they may not be able to use tactics to defeat them.

"Report to the senior sir, visually inspect the distance of 1,200 meters from the enemy, and ask for instructions."

The turret hatch of a Sherman tank was opened, and a lieutenant colonel officer came out with a telescope and reported to the other end by pressing the button on the machine.

A quick reply came to the machine: "Yuan Li, all the tanks are handed over to you, let go of the tricks, and kill these things who don't know whether they are alive or dead!" ”

"It's sir!"

Yuan Li put down the machine, he looked at the Japanese tanks that were coming at them, and a cruel smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

In this assault mission, the Gaoji people handed over the command of the tank to Yuan Li, and the soldiers around him were no strangers to him, after all, everyone was originally from the same unit.

The former followed Liao Mingyu's suggestion and concentrated all the armored vehicles of the 200th Division together. Coupled with the tank battalion of the third division, a huge armored force composed of nearly 100 tanks and combat vehicles of various types.

The wide flat land of Mangshi is enough to support a large number of steel monsters, and this time, it is necessary to wash away the shame that the 200th Division has suffered with the blood of the little devils.

"All tanks are moving at full speed, and the armored destroyers immediately stop firing!"

Six Sherman tanks led the way in an arrow formation, followed by a line of twelve T-26 light tanks and a large number of armored vehicles.

When the two sides were 800 meters apart, ten SDKFZ251 armored destroyers with 37mm anti-tank guns had stopped and fired at the little devils.

Although the caliber of 37 mm is not large, if the Japanese tank's protective ability is directly hit, it is still inevitable that the car will be destroyed and killed, and the little devil is very alert, and immediately disperses the formation to avoid the incoming shells.

The Japanese wanted to take advantage of the lightness of their tanks to go around the enemy's flank, but they forgot that the Sherman and the T-26 were also claimed to be fast, and how they could succeed when they had a clear numerical advantage.

"Stop, aim and fire!"

The two sides were 500 meters apart, Yuan Li took the lead in ordering all tank vehicles to stop advancing, and the gunner quickly turned the turret to aim, aiming the tank barrel at the Japanese tanks that were still moving.

"Five!"

At the same time, Kato also ordered all tanks to counterattack, and the engagement between the two sides officially began.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

On the flat ground, more than two dozen tanks sprayed blazing fire at each other one after another, and the shells intertwined with each other in mid-air, and suddenly sparks flew everywhere, and the piercing explosion of steel being destroyed by penetration resounded in the sky.

Sherman's 75mm tank gun still has a penetration depth of 70 mm at a distance of 500 meters, and the thickest part of the frontal armor of the little devil's Type 97 Zhongtan is only 25 mm.

Not to mention the Type 95 light tank, the poor 6-12mm armor is thinner than some armored vehicles, and the 37mm tank gun can easily penetrate it, no different from paper paste.

Faced with the gap in firepower and protection, all Japanese tanks were fatally hit.

The 57mm short-barreled guns they were equipped with could not knock Sherman's frontal armor at all, and they could only bully and bully the T-26, which was also thin and did not have a high firing angle, but the latter were more numerous and could win by quantity.

In the Type 97 tank, the Japanese warrant officer, whose commander was also a gunner, was nervously aiming at the target, and an aggressive T26 appeared in the scope, and he did not hesitate to fire immediately.

"Boom!"

"Ha pressure warehouse, quickly back back, load!"

This shell hit the T26, the body of the car suddenly sparks, the frontal armor instantly cracked, the car seemed to be on fire, and the soldiers inside hurriedly opened the roof to try to escape.

"Die, you East Asian cowards!"

"Dada......"

The machine gunner who had made a bet to kill 50 Chinese people was pulling the trigger continuously at this moment, spilling bullets on the escaped Chinese soldiers.

With a successful blow, the commander quickly told the driver to retreat, but the large number of tanks around him could not allow it to escape so easily.

"Boom! "Out of nowhere, a 37-mm shell hit their side armor, and the shell penetrated through the steel plate into the inside of the hull, exactly where the machine gun was located in the tree.

Without even snorting, the trees were shattered by the powerful kinetic energy of the cannonballs, internal organs and minced meat sprayed everywhere, and the cabin was also in chaos, and the mechanical components were destroyed, and thick smoke filled the entire space.

"Ahem! The chariot can still move ......"

Rumble!

Before the commander could finish speaking, another shell hit, but this time... But it was Sherman's 75 tank gun.

With a huge explosion, the turret of this Type 97 tank was instantly blasted into the air, and the smoke and fire instantly engulfed everything......

The Japanese army fought and retreated, and Kato had to admit that he was hasty this time, and his side couldn't stop the terrifying offensive of others at all.

In the first round of fighting, the Japanese lost 7 tanks, and they also caused damage to the 200 division and 5 T26s.

The six Shermans didn't do anything at all, the thickness of the front armor of the Xie Mantou was 51mm, coupled with a 47-degree inclination angle, the protection capacity was equivalent to 70 mm of steel armor, and the 57-caliber short-barreled gun of the little devil was difficult to damage it.

Although in Europe facing the Germans' Black Panther and Tiger is his younger brother, he was bullied so much that he didn't want to, but when he came to Southeast Asia, he was the father of these thin leather cars of the little devils.

Kato is still careless now, and the entire tank brigade with him is only three tanks, and all of them are still wounded.

"Sir, the little devil is running away."

Seeing that the three ninety-seven models were slowly retreating, Yuan Li showed a sneer after seeing it: "Everyone stop and start shooting!" ”
