With the order of the command of the army stationed in Mongolia.

The artillery positions of the two artillery wings of the Japanese army in the rear fired high-explosive shells and smoke bombs in the direction of the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

To the tank area of the Eighth Route Army, after firing five rounds of high-explosive shells and smoke bombs.

Two artillery wings of the devils were immediately transferred.

However, the devil's movements are still a little slow.

When the artillery position of the devil was fired, the artillery observer of the Eighth Route Army at the commanding heights in the distance immediately discovered the artillery positions of the two artillery wings of the devil.

At the same time, the artillery observers, immediately using the precision method, immediately reported the firing of the artillery positions of the devils to the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army in the rear.

Artillery fighters of the 150-mm howitzer battalion and the 105-mm howitzer battalion of the new regiment.

Immediately change the firing of the howitzers, and cover the fire towards the artillery positions of the devils.

The Devil's Mountain artillery and artillery, which had not had time to be transferred, were immediately covered by artillery fire.

Without artillery observers and liaison reconnaissance planes, the artillery positions of the devils could not be seen at all.

Therefore, the devil's artillery can't do it if they want to engage in artillery battles with the artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

on the battlefield.

The devil's high-explosive shells hit less, and only one Leopard tank of the Eighth Route Army was hit, and the tank was paralyzed, but due to the high defense of the tank, the tank soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the tank were fine.

Most of the fires fired by the devils are smoke grenades.

The artillery fire of the two artillery wings covered the tank area of the Eighth Route Army, and the devils fired a total of more than 200 smoke bombs, which immediately covered the entire tank area of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the smoke grenades of the devil are of poor quality, the effect is average, and the duration is not long, only about 2 minutes.

But at this time, enough devilish tanks rushed over with soldiers from the anti-tank brigade.

"The devil fired a smoke bomb?"

In a Leopard tank, the tank battalion commander Sun Desheng looked through the observation window and looked at the field of vision outside the tank, which was white.

Camp Commander Sun frowned slightly.

The sound of the explosion was no longer around, but the smoke from the smoke bombs had completely diffused.

Today's Sun Desheng has evolved from a cavalry battalion commander to a tank battalion commander with rich experience in commanding tank operations.

In fact, the 3rd Tank Division of the Japanese Army was also adapted from the cavalry.

Many of those devil tank crews were originally devil cavalry.

Similarly, the outstanding tank corps of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army were all cavalry.

Seeing that the devil fired smoke grenades around the tank, Sun Desheng did not panic, but his eyes were calm and abnormal.

Each tank is equipped with a gas mask according to the number of heads, which prevents devils from firing gas bombs at tanks on the battlefield.

"Report immediately to the tank commanders, can you see the devil tank?"

Sun Desheng took the walkie-talkie and called to the commanders of each tank in the channel.

The artillery wing of the devils, under long-range shelling, can indeed threaten the Leopard tank by firing high-explosive shells.

But the devil's high-explosive shells fired less, and most of them were smoke grenades.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the artillery wing of the devil was suppressed by the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army.

If the devil's cannon could fire continuously, the devil would definitely not spare the shells, and the dense shells smashed into the tank units of the Eighth Route Army.

"I can't see the devil tank!"

"I can't see either!"

“……”

"I can see that there are about 60 devil tanks coming towards us."

"Behind the tank, followed by a brigade of devil infantry, these devils are holding ... Anti-tank bombs, and Molotov cocktails, are less than 300 meters away from us! ”

The only tank, at the edge of the line, was not enveloped by smoke grenades.

The commander of the tank reported to Sun Desheng on the radio channel.

The tank commander really didn't know how to describe what the devil was holding in his hand, so he had to say an anti-tank bomb.

At the same time, among the devil anti-tank infantry who followed behind the devil tank, the devil also specially arranged grenadier soldiers to fire smoke bombs in the direction of the tanks of the Eighth Route Army while advancing.

In the distance, the Devil's Type 92 infantry guns and mortars were also firing smoke grenades.

Prevent the tanks of the Eighth Route Army from rushing out of the smoke area and firing at the Japanese tanks.

"Fuck, the little devil actually plays yin?"

Sun Desheng scolded, his eyes rolled, and then he gave an order:

"Pass my order, immediately retreat, call the Katyusha rocket artillery battalion to cover the smoke area with artillery fire!"

The combat effectiveness of the tank battalion is very strong, but Sun Desheng has no head iron.

Although the devil's tank is garbage, the devil's anti-tank bombs and Molotov cocktails can still threaten your own tank.

The devil must have a certain degree of certainty when he fights like this.

With Sun Desheng's order, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army and the infantry that followed behind the tanks retreated one after another.

After that, Sun Desheng called for artillery support from the Katyusha rocket artillery battalion.

……

Garrisoned in the headquarters of the Mongolian army.

Look at the tanks of the Eighth Route Army covered with smoke grenades.

The commander of the Mongolian army, Shigetaro Gansu, and the commander of the 3rd Tank Division, Kazusaku Nishihara.

A smile appeared on the faces of the two devil lieutenant generals.

In the field of view of the artillery mirror, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army stopped firing one after another, while the Japanese tanks and anti-tank brigades approached the area covered by smoke grenades at high speed.

"Nishihara-kun, your trick really worked."

A look of satisfaction appeared on Kanji Shigetaro's face.

Nishihara Kazuce's face showed a look of pride: "Your Excellency Commander, what about the strong tank firepower of the Eighth Route Army?" ”

"As long as the view of the tanks of the Eighth Route Army is obscured, their tank firepower will not work."

"And our tanks and anti-tank infantry can quickly approach the tanks of the Eighth Route Army."

"Then the tanks and anti-tank infantry on both sides are all twisted together, and the new anti-tank mines of the locust army can definitely play a role."

Subsequently, the corners of Nishihara Yice's mouth showed a touch of disdain, the group of officers of the First Army.

Saying that anti-tank piercing mines are rubbish cannot be compared with the bazooka of the Eighth Route Army at all.

If you can't give full play to the advantages of anti-tank mines, you can say that anti-tank mines are garbage.

A bunch of waste.

A truly strong man who never complains about the environment.

After a pause, Nishihara Kazuse pointed to the battlefield ahead and said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please take a look."

"My 13th and 17th tank wings, as well as the infantry of the brigade, have broken away from the 12th tank wing according to the battle plan and are advancing towards the left and right flanks."

"Yo Xi!"

Jutaro nodded.

According to the battle plan, the task of the 13th Tank Wing was to attack and advance to the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, suppressing and even destroying the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

The task of the 17th Tank Wing was to attack and advance towards the north gate of Datong City, join forces with the main force of the 1st Division, and eliminate the Eighth Route Army that surrounded Datong City.

Then, the main force of the 1st Division, together with the 17th Tank Wing, surrounded the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

In one fell swoop, the Eighth Route Army was defeated or even completely annihilated.

The Devil Tank Unit, which attacked in the first two rounds, was the 8th Tank Wing.

It's just that the 8th tank wing suffered heavy losses in the first two rounds of the offensive.

The remnants of the 8th Wing of the Tank Devil Tank Corps had already retreated with their tanks.

In addition to the dozens of tanks at the division headquarters, in this wave of attacks, Nishihara Kazuse sent all the remaining main forces of the 3rd Tank Division.

Rushing towards the smoke area was the 12th Tank Wing, an attack formation of more than 60 Type 95 and Type 97 tanks.

Nishihara Kazusei knew very well that even if there were Molotov cocktails and anti-tank piercing mines, the more than 60 tanks of the 12th Tank Wing would have to suffer heavy losses when they entered the smoke area.

However, the tanks and tank crews of the Eighth Route Army did not want to survive.

Light and medium tanks are tied to the heavy tanks of the Eighth Route Army, and this wave is not a loss!

Because the artillery and grenadiers of the devils are still firing smoke bombs in a steady stream, the smoke bombs rise upward, and at the same time, they also obscure the vision of the artillery team of Tataro Kazuta and Nishihara Kazuce.

The two old devils didn't realize that the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army had withdrawn from the smoke area.

More than 60 tanks of the 12th Tank Wing, and more than 600 anti-tank soldiers who followed behind the tanks, crashed headlong into the smoke area.

……

Takaharu Ishii was a squad leader in the anti-tank brigade of the 3rd Tank Division, carrying the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulders.

He was in charge of No. 30 anti-tank soldiers, half of whom were equipped with Type 4 anti-tank mines.

The remaining 15 soldiers, each carrying two Molotov cocktails.

The task he received this time was to lead the squad and the anti-tank large unit, following behind the 12th Tank Wing and approaching the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

Insert anti-tank piercing mines into the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, light Molotov cocktails and throw them at the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

All the anti-tank soldiers and officers were fanatics, with a high level of bushido and a determination before the war that there would be no return.

After all the tanks entered the smoke area, the captain of the anti-tank brigade suddenly pointed forward with the katana in his hand.

"Kill and give..."

All the anti-tank soldiers suddenly became fanatical.

"Onboard!"

"Your Majesty the Locust is onboard!"

"Great Japanese Empire onboard!"

The Japanese anti-tank soldiers shouted and screamed in their mouths, and rushed into the smoke array with Molotov cocktails and anti-tank mines.

Takaharu Ishii, holding an anti-tank stinging mine in his hand, rushed to the front of the team, his expression and eyes became crazy.

However, Ishii Takaharu held a stinging mine, rushed forward more than 100 meters, and even crossed his own 95 and 97 tanks, but failed to find the figure of the Eighth Route Army tank.

"What's going on?"

The devil slowly stopped, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The tanks of the Eighth Route Army have long slipped away.

At this moment, a rapid whistling sound sounded overhead, and before the devil could react.

Boom, boom, boom......

The sound of a thunderous explosion sounded in his ears, causing his eardrums to lose hearing in an instant.

The next second.

Ishii Takaharu felt his body crack in an instant, turning into countless fragments, and then his consciousness fell into the boundless darkness of nothingness.

The reinforced battalion of Katyusha rocket artillery, which had reloaded its rockets, fired a wave of rapid fire at the area of smoke.

The devil tanks and devil anti-tank soldiers who entered the smoke area were suddenly shrouded in dense artillery fire. (End of chapter)
