At that time, it was surrounded on three sides.

Seeing that the roundabout offensive on both sides was going well, in order to cooperate with the attack on both sides, the old devil Xiyuan also issued an order to attack from the forward direction at the same time.

The two tank squadrons on the Japanese side had about four times as many tanks and armored vehicles as the Eighth Route Army.

In such a situation, no matter who judges from common sense, the Eighth Route Army cannot be the opponent of the devil's armored forces.

Xiyuan Shaozo looked at the situation through the binoculars, and he even expected that when he found himself facing a three-sided encirclement, those Eighth Route Army troops would show panic and helplessness.

At least, Xiyuan thought that if he was replaced by the commander of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, he would definitely subconsciously choose to retreat in the face of this situation.

For this reason, Xiyuan stared at the situation of the Eighth Route Army troops in the central area of the ranch.

However, the next facts made him a little puzzled.

When he secretly sent two chariot troops from a distant route, with the help of some undulating hills to obscure his vision, quietly detoured past the two chariot troops, crossed the hills, and appeared in the field of vision of the enemy's Eighth Route Army.

He looked through the binoculars, but did not find that the enemy's Eighth Route Army troops showed any panic, and there was not even the slightest sign of retreat.

It was as if they had anticipated the tactics of his two-wing sneak attack in the West Garden.

Between the lightning and flint, Xiyuan actually felt a little strange, this should not be the situation that the Eighth Route Army, which was surrounded by several times the armored forces of its own side, should show.

However, the battle has come to this point.

Xiyuan's order had already been issued, and it was too late to terminate the three-sided attack strategy originally planned.

Xiyuan Shaozo fortunately got rid of the worry in his heart, and resolutely commanded the frontal attack troops, flanked the chariot troops attacking on both flanks, and launched the final chariot assault on the side of the Eighth Route Army with a three-sided siege.

Boom –

The roar first exploded from the area of the frontally attacking armored troops led by Xiyuan Shaozo, and it was the enemy's Eighth Route Army troops who made a move, and they really had a considerable number of anti-tank rocket launchers on hand.

The rockets fired by these bazookas are extremely powerful, and even if they hit the strongest front armor of the devil's 97 medium tank, they can directly destroy the tank.

Judging from the explosion, the power of the anti-tank artillery used by the enemy's Eighth Route Army seems to be more exaggerated than the intelligence information known to Nishizon Shaozo.

Faced with the bombardment of anti-tank artillery fire on the side of the Eighth Route Army, it was only a charge of less than 100 meters, and two Type 95 light combat vehicles were destroyed again on the side of Xiyuan Shaozuo.

It's already ready to shoot and has to be struck.

The old devil Xiyuan gritted his teeth, he personally rode in the command tank, drove in the rear of the chariot troops, and gave the order to continue the onslaught.

He would rather fight for a certain sacrifice to wipe out this hateful armored force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

At the moment, the situation is a little bad under the anti-tank fire of the Eighth Route Army, but as long as you stick to the tank units on both flanks, attack the armored units of the Eighth Route Army from the flank, avoid the strange Japanese tanks that have been modified by the Eighth Route Army, and destroy all the tanks of the Eighth Route Army from the flanks.

This battle is sure to be won by a big shot.

Thinking of this, Xiyuan Shaozo raised his arms and shouted long live the charge in excitement and nervousness, commanding the chariots and coordinated mobile troops around him, desperately attacking the enemy's Eighth Route Army troops.

On the other side, in the face of the sudden attack of the little devil, and now surrounded on three sides, the commander of the first company is not only not afraid of danger, but also shows more excitement and excitement.

"Haha, grandma's, this little devil has finally started attacking!"

"Comrades, get ready for me, the old regiment commander has given an order for us to annihilate this chariot unit of the devil. I'm patting my chest and coming down, if I can't do this, we'll have no face to see when we go back! ”

The soldiers responded one after another, and their faces were full of excitement.

Everyone has been waiting for so long to deploy, and this little devil has finally taken the bait.

The two sides completely opened the posture of the decisive battle.

But then, this battle between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army, the local armored corps, may not be in the annals of history, but it is still a wonderful and fierce battle, showing a side, but the enemy's devil commander Xiyuan Shaozuo is a little surprised.

I saw that the enemy's Eighth Route Army had put almost all its firepower into frontal combat.

As for the surprise troops of the Japanese troops on both flanks, Hachi on the opposite side didn't seem to care at all.

This made Xiyuan Shaozuo's heart tighten.

He is well aware of the cunning of the Eighth Route Army, is there fraud in this?

Xiyuan Shaozuo's mind was spinning fast, and he suddenly realized this, and the eight roads were clearly as if he had no fear, and even ignored the roundabout attack of the chariots on both flanks, and put all the artillery fire towards the frontal decisive battle.

What is the reason for this?

"Bastard, it's not good, I'm afraid there is some trap!"

Xiyuan Shaozo suddenly came back to his senses in the exclamation, he was instantly frightened into a cold sweat by his own idea, and he was about to order the withdrawal of the attacking troops on both flanks, and at the same time ordered to stop the frontal attack.

At the right time.

A rather violent explosion came from the direction of the left and right flanks of the pasture.

The power of its explosion was so amazing and the movement was so great that even a battle-hardened veteran like Xiyuan was shocked and lost his voice.

The earth-shaking explosion shook the sky full of dust and yellow sand, and it seemed that there were also Japanese armored vehicles that were torn apart in an instant, attacking the side of the Eighth Route Army from both flanks.

In the explosion that eclipsed the heavens and the earth, all other sounds were muffled and inaudible.

Looking at the dust and sand, mixed with the shattered armor in the sky, and looking at the more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles on both sides of the flank, they were completely buried on this plateau by a series of explosions in an instant.

Xiyuan Shaozuo was a little distracted and stunned on the spot.

A look of despair slowly appeared on his face.

He was finally convinced that he had indeed fallen for the tricks of the Eighth Route Army.

These damn eight-way traps were deliberately set in this ranch, planting a large number of anti-tank mines on the flanks of the ranch in advance, and then luring their own troops to attack from the front.

lured him into splitting two chariot troops, sneaking up on both flanks, and then hitting the trap of the eighth.

This is indeed the case.

As the commander of the first company said before the war:

"Let's choose this place, it's a pasture, and there are relatively raised hills on both sides, and the direction of frontal combat is unobstructed.

If I were a devil commander, if I wanted to destroy the enemy's enemy in such a terrain, I would split my troops from the flanks and sneak attack, that would be the best means.

It's just that the little devil raised by his son of a son doesn't think about it, are we so stupid?

Will they choose such a place where they can easily sneak up on him from both flanks to fight him?

Hehe, we have already planted anti-tank minesets on both flanks in advance, just waiting for the devil's tank to fall into it by itself! ”

Then a cadre asked: "Company commander, what if the devil didn't follow our pre-planned situation, sneaked up on both flanks and fell into our minefield?" ”

The commander of the first company smiled and said, "Then it depends on whether the commander of the little devil is a fool or not."

If he can really see our trap, we will admit it, it's a big deal to fight and retreat, we have an anti-tank blowtorch (bazooka) at hand, if this devil really dares to chase too close, let's teach them to be human in minutes! ”

It turned out that:

According to the standards of a company commander, the old devil of Xiyuan belongs to the stupid category.

It was so stupid, according to the routine of the commander of a company, two surprise attack tank units were divided, and they attacked from both flanks, and after crossing the high hills, they directly plunged into the anti-tank minefield that the fighters had laid here.

This is the absolute nemesis of the tank, the devil's tank is highly mobile, defensive, and has strong firepower.

If it is a frontal battle, even if the soldiers have all kinds of anti-tank artillery against the devil's tanks, it will not be easy to destroy all the devil's tanks.

But if you can lure the devil's tank into the ambush trap set in advance.

For example, anti-tank minefields.

The devil's tank basically didn't have to run.

…… At the time of the charge, the tanks and armored vehicles of the devils attacking on both sides were in full swing, and they didn't expect that these damn eight roads had set a trap here in advance after fleeing all the way to here, obviously in the pursuit under their noses.

The tanks on the left and right flanks plunged headlong into the minefield without warning.

After two desperate explosions, a total of four tank squads, nearly 30 tanks and armored vehicles, which were originally sent by Xiyuan Shaozo on both sides, were destroyed in an instant.

The few armored vehicles and Type 95 light tanks that were left behind stood alone on a cyan plateau.

The explosion unleashed a huge shock wave that nearly lifted the vehicles off.

The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the ranch enjoyed the feast of a wave of landmine bombing devil armored troops.

"Good!"

Some fighters clapped their hands.

This is precisely the reason why the commander of the first company dared to directly ignore the surprise attack of the Japanese tank units on both flanks, and put all the focus of the battle on the front decisive battle.

In the sound of the explosion, the little devils on the opposite side fell into consternation and could not return to their senses, and the commander of the first company also launched an order to attack at the same time.

The tiger turned back, and he must die!

The soldiers immediately mobilized various armored vehicles, tanks, and modified combat vehicles to charge towards the chariot troops of the devils who were also driving rapidly.

The Eighth Route Army was equipped with anti-artillery devices, and the advantages of various modified combat vehicles with strange appearance but greatly increased defensive performance were once again revealed.

The two sides were advancing in opposite directions, and in the midst of the roar of artillery fire, the chariots on the devil's side, whether they were Type 95 light tanks or Type 97 medium tanks, would suffer serious damage once they were hit by the anti-tank artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

On the other hand, on the side of the Eighth Route Army.

The shells of the devils bombarded the extended anti-artillery armor of the modified combat vehicles and armored vehicles of the officers and men of the Eighth Route Army, and they often failed to achieve an effective strike effect.

Unless it's the devil's cannonball that can turn and turn to the flank of the soldier's chariot, or bombard the rear armor of the chariot, or the weak bottom armor.

Just think about it, it's unlikely.

It's just that some shells happened to pass through the gaps in the anti-artillery devices protruding from the tank, causing some damage to the vehicle.

This damage is almost negligible compared to the heavy casualties of the Devil's chariot troops.

…… In an instant, a squadron of medium tanks, a squadron of light tanks, was destroyed by almost 2/3.

Xiyuan, who had recovered from the shock of the chariot squads on both flanks being severely destroyed, faced the assault launched from the front by the Eighth Route Army.

He couldn't care about any hesitation, let alone the dignity and glory of a soldier, so he hurriedly gave the order to retreat.

In this way, the battlefield appeared quite funny, and the two sides were about to collide with the chariot troops that were galloping towards each other.

As a result, when the pursuit was unstoppable, the flying and trekking devil chariot troops, when the impact was halfway through, all the tanks and armored vehicles were like soldiers fleeing in the desert, hurriedly turned the head of the car, and retreated back in a panic in the direction of the road from which they came.

The roles of both sides were reversed in an instant.

The original pursuer is now a fugitive, and the original fugitive is now a pursuer.

Xiyuan Shaozuo is aggrieved!

pursued for dozens of kilometers all the way, but failed to destroy the small armored troops of the damned Eighth Route Army, not to mention, his own team was almost wiped out.

The tank was almost completely destroyed.

At present, it is still a question whether they can successfully escape from these eight-way pursuits.

The cunning of the Eight Ways refreshed his cognition again, these damn Eight Ways were clearly deliberate, setting a trap in advance here, and luring him all the way here.

Xiyuan Shaozuo, who fled in a hurry, couldn't care about the dignity of the imperial soldiers at this moment, and on the way to escape, he hurriedly conveyed a call for help to the nearby armored troops.

Two Japanese medium armored squadrons that received the news rushed over for reinforcements.

One of the devil squadron leaders was still wondering.

"Didn't Your Excellency Shao Zuo go to pursue a small armored force of the Eighth Route Army? Why did you suddenly start asking for help? Could it be that it accidentally collided with the main armored force of the Eighth Route Army? ”

When the two sides met from a distance, they noticed through the telescope that the Eighth Route Army team that was pursuing behind Shaozuo in Xiyuan only had more than ten chariots.

And Xiyuan Shaozuo and his party, who were chased and almost lost their armor, were only a dozen tanks and armored vehicles left.

The two devil squadron leaders who came over for reinforcements also had a wrong face.

What's going on?

Could it be that the main armored forces of the Eighth Route are in the rear?

"Retreat, all vehicles retreat immediately, stop the pursuit!"

Seeing the two chariot units reinforced by the devils, the commander of the first company decisively gave the order to stop the pursuit, and then led the troops to retreat quickly.

After quickly cleaning the battlefield and capturing all the materials that could be captured, the first company commander led the soldiers to quickly camouflage the chariot and then temporarily concealed it in the designated area according to the plan.

On the other side, Xiyuan Shaozuo, who joined the reinforcements, was in a gray face, full of grievances, telling how he fell into the trap of the Eighth Route Army.

The two devil squadron leaders were speechless, Xiyuan Shaozuo almost buried all the two tank squadrons this time, and military punishment is probably indispensable.

The sky was still blue, and there was hardly half a cloud to be seen.

Soon after, the roar of the devil's fighter was gradually heard.

The fighters and bombers of the devils who were called by the devils such as Xiyuan searched everywhere over this plateau for the armored unit of the Eighth Route Army that had severely damaged the Xiyuan......
