Nanzhi Tank Brigade Command.

It was learned that behind the front where his troops had advanced, a large number of armored units of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared.

Baggage troops, transport units, and mobile artillery units were successively attacked by the armored units of the Eighth Route Army.

The scattered chariot units were also fiercely attacked by the armored units of the Eighth Route Army, which suddenly appeared.

After Major General Nanzhi was stunned, he was also anxious for a while, and before he could figure out what the situation was, the eight roads hit him in the face.

"Yaga, what the hell is going on? How did things come to this? ”

The chief of staff of the devil, who was also a little flustered, analyzed on the side: "General, I'm afraid we have been fooled, these days the Eighth Route has used armored troops to harass us from time to time, but when our army was pursuing, they quickly withdrew, or set up a minefield ambush on the way.

In the process of pursuit, although the local casualties caused by our army were not large, the local casualties were superimposed again and again, and unconsciously, our combat vehicles had actually been greatly consumed and damaged.

I think the Eighth Road is waiting for this moment, waiting for this final decisive battle!! ”

"Bastard, why didn't you say it earlier?" Nanji scolded angrily.

Chief of Staff of the Devil: "......"

The situation of the previous days quickly came to his mind.

Him: "General, the Eighth Route always uses a small group of armored troops to harass, I'm afraid there is some trap!" ”

Nanzhi: "The entire Mengxi region is mostly a flat plateau area, which can give full play to our army's armored combat superiority, and in the face of absolute strength superiority, can the small trap of the Eighth Road come in handy?" ”

He: "General, I suggest that we should be on guard against the sneak attack on the Eighth Road, and we should focus on the advance to the 35th Army first." ”

Nanzhi: "If you don't destroy these disgusting sneak attack troops, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

Him: "General, our combat forces seem to be getting more and more dispersed. ”

Nanzhi: "These damn Eight Roads have been chased by us!" ”

Him: "General, I propose to suspend the pursuit and repair and maintain the tank in time to ensure continuous combat and respond to the sudden crisis at any time!" ”

Nanzhi: "Baga, wouldn't it be a failure to stop the pursuit at this time, the Eighth Road is obviously unable to support it, don't you see the chariots, equipment and supplies they discarded along the way?" ”

He "............"

And then it gradually evolved into the current situation.

What else can the chief of staff of the devil say about this?

He was well aware that His Excellency the General was paralyzed by arrogance and self-indulgence.

Nanzhi, an old devil, thought that he was leading an elite armored cluster, and he didn't take the backward equipment of the Eighth Route Army in his impression in his eyes at all.

Not to mention what the so-called armored forces of the Eighth Route Army were.

With the elite armor of the Great Japanese Empire and the firepower reinforcement of the Air Force, in such an endless flat plateau terrain, could it not destroy the Eighth Route Army?

After the decisive battle broke out, the little devils of the Nanzhi Chariot Brigade pursued the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army all the way, and suddenly turned around and launched a fierce attack.

At this time, the little devils who were still immersed in the arrogance of the pursuit were shocked to find out that it was not a sheep that they were chasing.

It's a tiger that can eat people!

In the confrontation between the two sides, the little devils discovered in their astonishment that the world had already changed, and the Eighth Route Army was no longer the backwardly equipped Huazi team they imagined.

……

Somewhere there is an area where a river flows.

A squadron of medium tanks of the Devils went head-to-head with an armored company on the side of the Eighth Route Army.

Under the exceptionally strengthened tank configuration, this medium-sized tank squadron of the devil is strong, and it is equipped with a total of 15 medium-sized tanks of the 97th reform, plus more than 10 auxiliary trucks, armored vehicles, motorcycles and other vehicles.

A total of more than 30 combat vehicles were formed.

It was only at this time that the equipment strength of the armored forces on the side of the Eighth Route Army was truly demonstrated.

Only then did the devil realize that the strength of these armored units of the Eighth Route Army was no less than the so-called elite chariots of the Japanese Empire.

Looking through the eyes of the devil squadron leader.

This armored corps company on the side of the Eighth Route Army is an armored unit composed of light combat vehicles and medium combat vehicles modified by magic.

Although the number of chariots is not too much, there are eight magically modified Japanese-style 95-style chariots, and there are also four magically modified Japanese-style 97-modified medium chariots.

Half of these tanks were inherited from the armored vehicles that originally belonged to the 26th Division of the Japanese Army after the capture of Datong.

A total of 12 combat vehicles were formed.

The Demonic Altered Vehicles are all equipped with extended anti-artillery devices in the front armor of the tank and the front armor of the turret.

These anti-artillery devices are powerful, and most of the little devils have seen them in the confrontation in the past few days, and those who have not seen it have seen it quickly.

The shells bombarded and were blocked by the outstretched anti-artillery armor, and as for the tank armor in the rear, not even a single skin was scratched.

And these chariots transformed by the demons of the Eighth Route Army are not the most frightening for the devil armored soldiers at this moment.

The most chilling thing for these little devils is that those anti-tank self-propelled guns that belong to the side of the Eighth Route Army that have been modified by the Eighth Route Army are somewhat strange but frightening.

For example, the 150 mortars of the Japanese army captured by a detachment were modified and installed on the tank turf to be directly used as self-propelled mortars, and then a mechanical crane was added for semi-automatic loading.

Even the artillery shells used were replaced with incendiary high-explosive shells mixed with the latest research and development of the military research institute of the detachment.

Clicked past......

The power of this new incendiary high-explosive shell exploded in an instant, and while the devil's thin-skinned tank was torn apart, even the people and the tank were directly submerged in the sea of fire.

Extending in a radius of several tens of meters along the center of the shell explosion, wherever it was affected, the Japanese mobile units without armor protection were engulfed in an instant.

Even the devil armorers hidden inside the hull will be roasted alive in the flames, in the astonishing burning heat, and become a charred corpse.

The power is so amazing that it instantly turns a local area into a human purgatory.

Even the soldiers of the armored corps of the Eighth Route Army, who were personally operating the artillery, were a little dumbfounded.

This is the first time that the big guy has witnessed the power of this new incendiary high-explosive bomb.

At first, I just heard that when this new incendiary high-explosive bomb was test-fired, it directly burned half of the mountain, and everyone didn't believe it.

That's it.

It was just a shot, and the soldiers fell directly into excitement.

And the little devils who saw this scene saw that a tank hit by the strange shell of the Eighth Route Army, along with four or five tanks around it, was engulfed in flames in an instant, and their souls were almost frightened.

Fortunately, the captain of the devil squadron is also considered to have rich combat experience.

He hurriedly ordered the herald to give orders in flags, so that all the chariots immediately distanced themselves and kept moving, in an attempt to evade the concentrated artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army in this way of dispersed combat.

Then, this devil squadron leader is also a ruthless person who doesn't want to die.

He realized that the Eighth Route Army's side was heavily equipped and its artillery was incredibly powerful, and it was not wise to go head-to-head or retreat hastily.

So after roaring a few hooray charges, the leader of the devil squadron directly issued the order for the chariot assault, and launched a brainless charge with the same fighting style.

This little devil is calculating.

He believed that the close confrontation was completely entangled with the tanks of the enemy's Eighth Route Army, which could avoid being bombarded by the opponent's self-propelled artillery, and at the same time, it could avoid the front anti-artillery device of the Eighth Route Army's magically modified combat vehicles, and attack the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army from the flank.

These squadron leaders who belong to the Japanese-style tank devil can't understand it well, and the armor on the sides and rear is very weak.

It really can't be done, just drive the chariot at full speed, rush into it, and die with the enemy.

In addition, once the combat vehicle collides with the self-propelled guns of the Eighth Route Army, the self-propelled guns lacking protective armor can be destroyed in an instant.

It is indeed a devil commander with rich experience in armored combat and ruthless enough to himself.

How......

The hole cards of the armored troops built by the Eighth Route Army are far more than that.

In the ensuing close encounter, tank guns on both sides roared at each other.

The devil tank soldiers who launched the death charge only then discovered with a look of despair that the tank guns attached to the tanks of the eight-way demon transformation were much more powerful than their artillery.

For example, the new Soviet-made 47 mm tank gun that was modified by the Eighth Road Devil was equipped with the 97 medium tank.

and the new American-made 37mm anti-tank gun mounted on the Type 95 light tank.

And all equipped with new armor-piercing shells.

Even some of the eight-way magic 92 armored vehicles that followed the tank were equipped with specially brought Erlikon 20mm machine guns and new armor-piercing shells.

In addition, there were a batch of Browning M2 heavy machine guns obtained directly from the United States through John, and then modified to use larger-caliber heavy machine gun shells, according to theoretical data, the maximum range was even nearly two thousand meters.

Not to mention the thin-skinned tank of the devils.

Even those masonry turrets can directly make a beecomb for it.

When the devil squadron leader adjusted his tactics and launched a rush charge against the armored troops on the side of the Eighth Route Army with dozens of combat vehicles.

The commander of the armored corps company led by the Eighth Route Army almost smiled crookedly.

"Obediently, did this little devil kick the donkey in the head? Didn't the stretch your neck for us to cut off! ”

Without saying a word, after the devil's tank broke through, the soldiers directly launched a one-sided battle that was almost a slaughter.

The anti-tank artillery roared one by one, but if it hit the tank on the Japanese side, it could be damaged by rubbing, and if it hit, it could be directly destroyed and torn into pieces.

As the Browning heavy machine gun fire swept past, the large-caliber bullet with armor-piercing ability directly penetrated the chariot, and the tiny bullet holes were not enough to hurt the chariot, but the flesh and blood devils inside the chariot were smashed into a mess of mud in an instant.

The tank, which had lost its driver, soon came to a slow stop at full speed.

In a short charge distance of less than 200 meters, half of the rush was not completed, and the captain of the devil squadron who was lucky enough to survive looked around, and the entire squadron was still able to break through less than 1/3 of the vehicles.

The old devil's eyes were completely red in shock and anger.

He directly drove the command tank himself, and rushed towards the side of the Eighth Route Army at full speed as if he was dying.

"It's good to come!"

The commander of the first company looked at the tank and also paid attention to the antenna above the Japanese-style command tank, which meant that this was the command vehicle of the ghost character.

He personally operated the artillery and fired a shot.

As the company commander of the armored corps company, the actual combat ability of the first company commander does not need to be said, and it is top-notch in the entire company.

The command tank piloted by the leader of the devil squadron, who had almost lost his mind in the madness, rushed in almost a straight line.

The shell hit directly into the front armor of the Devil 97 medium tank.

After a loud bang, the car was destroyed and people died, and the chariot was carrying the embers, slowly stopped, and the devil squadron leader who was inside the chariot was completely blown into a charred corpse.

The stupid little devil's final struggle didn't change anything.

The two sides fought for more than ten minutes.

More than 30 vehicles and more than 100 devils were destroyed and wiped out in the entire devil medium tank squadron.

However, there were a few remnants of the devils who drove two trucks and fled in fear, but they were stopped by the river behind them, and the two devils drove their vehicles to force their way across the river, and when they drove to the central area, they were blown up by shells fired by the self-propelled guns of the Eighth Route Army.

Another victory in the battle of armored forces.

The commander of the first company was not surprised by this, and after leaving only some soldiers to clean up the battlefield, he led the main force of the chariot to continue to the next target area, seeking new operations.

At this time, it was presented in the Mengxi area, a whole area dominated by plateau terrain, and the Eighth Route Army fought locally with the Japanese armored forces.

Battles like this are nothing new after the Eighth Route Army launched a counteroffensive and decisive battle.

A series of defeats quickly accumulated.

The defeat was like a mountain.

Nanzhi, the old devil who learned of the reversal of the battlefield situation, couldn't care about his original dignity and pride, and hurriedly asked for help from all sides.

Then, the Japanese army and the Nationalist army were shocked by the reversal of the situation in this war.

Headquarters of the 35th Route Army.

If anyone is most concerned about the final situation of the confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese armored forces in the Mengxi area, it is Commander Fu.

When it was learned that the Nanzhi Tank Brigade was chasing and killing the armored units of the Eighth Route Army all the way, and with the cooperation of the air force's firepower, according to the news, a large number of armored units of the Eighth Route Army had been destroyed.

Although Commander Fu said it well and thought that it would definitely be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to fight such a stupid battle, he was also very worried in his heart.

When the Eighth Route Armored Force launched a decisive battle, the Nanzhi Chariot Brigade was defeated, and the news of the 26th Division hurriedly reinforcing the army came.

The chief of staff of the 35th Route Army was sluggish.

The tide of the battle was reversed, as the commander said.

And it's an incredible reversal!

The armored unit of the Eighth Route Army, which was originally pursued all the way and was said to have suffered heavy casualties, was in a hurry to ask for help after the decisive battle.

This, this, this......

Acting isn't so exaggerated, is it?

"Yigong! This, this news should not be faked, right? ”

Fu Yisheng laughed and said, "Can the news brought back by our army's forward reconnaissance unit be fake?"

Hurry, the Eighth Road is open, we can't wait any longer, we can't let Lao He see the joke!

Immediately according to the plan, send out all our mobile troops, not even a single horse can be left behind, and immediately advance in the direction of Baotou.

In addition, I heard that the 26th Division was moving north to reinforce them, and I was sent another unit to stop them.

The Eighth Road chariot brigade that fought the devil this time can be regarded as a bad breath for us, and we have to pay back this favor! ”

"Huh!"

The chief of staff responded one by one.

After all the orders were arranged, the two looked at the clear blue sky not far away and sighed.

Commander Fu's words expressed the hearts of the two:

"After this battle, the armored forces of the Eighth Route are afraid that they will be famous all over the world!"
