Zhang Chu raised the binoculars. Look closely.

It is indeed the Type 92 cannon of the Japanese invaders.

Caliber 105 mm. The ratio of magnification to diameter is 42 times. The barrel length is 4.725 meters.

The maximum firing range is 18 km.

It was the longest-range four-inch (105 mm) gun on land in the world at the time. Not one of them.

Because of the long range, it is very advantageous.

Including a lot of 122-mm howitzers are no match.

If it weren't for that, Li Yunlong wouldn't have taken the risk of launching this salient battle.

It's weird......

What did the Japanese do when they pushed the cannon up?

I don't need to put the advantage of ultra-long range. Shooting at close range? Isn't this self-defeating martial arts?

Then I understood......

It's to be anti-tank!

The Japanese are going to use cannons to hit tanks!

After all, the Japanese now have no professional anti-tank weapons in their hands, and they can't help the No. 3 tank.

The only thing that can blow up tank three is this cannon.

But you have to shoot at close range, and aim at it.

Good!

Good!

Self-deprecation martial arts are the best.

"Ding!"

"You recovered a 105mm cannon."

"The estimated value of the recyclable is 2 million ......"

It's a bit of a loss.

3 million for one tank. A cannon is only 2 million. The difference is 1 million.

Thankfully, there is a double. Otherwise, it's a real loss.

Suddenly, my mind moved. But there is one more option in the upgrade list. It's this 105mm cannon of the Japanese invaders.

The cost of the upgrade is about the same as that of the American-made 105mm howitzer. It's all 2 million.

Do you want to upgrade one or two courses?

The long range is indeed a very big advantage. As the saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong.

After thinking about it, forget it.

I'll talk about it when I need to. There's no rush yet.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was another loud bang.

But another tank was destroyed. A big burst of fire erupted.

It must be admitted that the anti-tank capabilities of this cannon are really good. If Tank No. 3 had been hit at close range, the damage would have been very severe.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Thankfully, the other tanks immediately retaliated.

The cannon that was sneakily pushed up was immediately destroyed. The two sides are truly at the end of the road.

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

"Rescue the wounded!"

Xiong Dingshan, with the commandos, quickly ran up and tried to save people from the tank.

It's a pity that all four crew members died.

After all, a 105-mm cannon, with great power. The tank was badly destroyed. It is impossible for the crew to live.

Other tanks continued to fight.

The other cannons of the Japanese invaders also continued to be transported secretly. Then shoot straight at close range.

Now is the time for a contest of wills.

Whoever can make it to the end will be the winner!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Another Japanese cannon was destroyed.

This time, all the tanks learned to behave. Spread out to both sides, opening the angle as far as you can.

Through this method, it is possible to effectively detect the Japanese cannon in advance.

It takes a lot of time for the Japanese cannon to be released. As long as it is detected in advance, the tank gun can destroy the target first.

"Zhang Chu, are we firing guns?"

"Oh yes......"

Zhang Chu's eyes flashed.

Enemies!

The Japanese cannon pulled out the anti-tank.

And what is the howitzer left behind for what?

Of course, it's a bombing!

Turned.

Look at the back.

Eight howitzers were found to be watching the excitement.

Really!

See what a lively!

Hurry up and put it in line! Bomb now!

What is the goal?

Whatever it is!

Just bomb in the direction where the Japanese are located!

"Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Zhang Chu gave an order to the howitzer.

The artillerymen then hurriedly began to line up.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

At this time, the front artillery fire continued.

Seven tanks and the remaining Japanese heavy cannons are playing hide-and-seek.

Meantime......

Zhang Chu came to the rear.

There is also a second wave of tank member groups.

At the height of the battle, they are the new force!

Eight more tanks arrived right away.

This is the latest upgrade.

It cost another 24 million! I feel like my little coffers are going to be emptied.

But in order to eliminate the Japanese invaders, it is worth it.

I hope that after the Japanese invaders are eliminated for a while, they will be able to make up for it.

The fight continues.

"Quack!"

"Quack!

Finally, the second wave of tanks arrived.

The piercing sound of the tracks lifted all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army around them.

Another tank is arriving!

Or our own tanks of the Eighth Route Army!

Cool!

"Yaga!"

"There are tanks on the dirt road!"

"Faded ......"

The Japanese could no longer hold on.

The second wave of tank troops from the Dirt Eighth Road has come up!

How else do they fight?

There are so many tanks, and the cannon simply can't keep it busy.

Moreover, the howitzers of the Tuba Road, as well as the field artillery, all ran up.

Even mortars came up.

The dense shells made the Japanese invaders dizzy, and they were unable to launch an effective counterattack at all.

Courage alone is in vain.

Cannonballs don't care about courage. Say blow you up.

The high-ranking captain of the Nakasa Brigade was killed.

Then the captain squadron leader was killed.

Then there are lieutenants, ensigns......

Finally......

The Japanese army was defeated.

"Don't retreat!"

"Don't retreat!"

At this time, Yuo Hiraku made a difficult decision.

He ordered his brigade to stay behind and ordered the Ono brigade to retreat immediately. He was ready to use his own brigade to exchange the Ono brigade to escape.

"No ......"

Ono faithfully refused to carry it out.

He didn't want to run for his life in shame.

In fact, even if he wanted to run, it was too late.

The offensive of the Tubalu has been wave after wave.

At this time, any attempt to escape will be hunted down. Then came the one-sided slaughter.

"Withdraw to Ping'an County!"

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

Yuo Hiraku was helpless. I had to change the command.

For today's plan, the only way to do this is to withdraw to Ping'an County and wait for help. How long can it be kept.

If there were reinforcements from above, they would have come to the rescue.

After all, in Shouyang and Yangquan, there are still two main divisions.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

The Japanese retreated frantically.

The first to retreat were the artillery wings.

The rest of the cannon was something that had to be taken away.

If there were no cannons, Ping'an County would not have been able to hold it at all.

Zhang Chu came to the howitzer.

The recyclables radar has a lot of small red dots on it.

It may be the brigade commander of the Japanese invaders, or it may be the other big sa, middle sa, and young saku of the Japanese invaders.

Who to hit first?

Of course, it's the cannon of the Japanese invaders.

Judge against the map. Which red dots could be the cannons of the Japanese invaders?

Finally, a target is chosen.

Aim.

Shoot.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Shells were continuously discharged.

But there is no landing point in sight. It is not possible to tell if it is a hit.

Until......

"Ding!"

"You recover a 105mm cannon ......"

"The estimated value of the recyclable is 2 million ......"

Suddenly information poured in.

Hey?

Actually hit?

Accurate hit in the first wave of shots?

A good thing indeed.

So he continued to shoot. A large number of shells kept falling towards the same position.

Unfortunately, no more information came.

Apparently, just hit a cannon. Other effects are unknown.

I had to choose a new target.

"Zhang Chu!"

"Zhang Chu!"

Li Yunlong hurried up.

But it was he who found through the telescope that the Japanese were in full retreat.

The most tense standoff is finally over.

The Japanese are running away.

"Here!"

Zhang Chu replied loudly.

It feels like my throat hurts. They were all choked by the smell of gunpowder.

It's miserable......

Want to drink Wang Laoji......

"The Japanese have withdrawn!"

"Oh......"

"They are estimated to retreat to Ping'an County."

"All of them?"

"They built a lot of temporary field fortifications around Ping'an County. It is estimated that it will be stubbornly resisted for a while. ”

"Got it."

Zhang Chu nodded.

This is a result that anyone can imagine.

It was impossible for the Japanese to retreat easily. After all, Ping'an County is an important county seat.

As long as the Japanese invaders still occupy Ping'an County, the nearby Eighth Route Army base will be threatened. Including Yu County, She County and other places. It's not absolutely safe either.

"Are we going to attack?"

"That's right! Take down Ping'an County in one go! ”

"Good!"

Zhang Chu nodded in agreement.

That was the second attack on Ping'an County.

For the first time, the Japanese defenders had only half a brigade. The second time, it seems that there are tens of thousands?

It's scary......

There were more than 10,000 defenders.

The Eighth Route Army besieging Ping'an County, that is, more than 10,000 people.

The strength of the two sides is almost 1:1, and they still have to attack the fortifications. I have to say that this difficulty is very high.

"Prepare first!"

"Good!"

After Li Yunlong finished giving the order, he went to the front to check the battle situation.

Zhang Chu also followed.

At this time, the Japanese were already retreating on a large scale. Leave a mess all over the place.

Information keeps pouring in.

It is all information on all kinds of recovered weapons and equipment.

Earnings are also soaring.

10 million ......

20 million ......

40 million ......

It's definitely a blood to be gained.

In such a ferocious fight just now, how many people did the Japanese lose by the Japanese invaders?

It is estimated that there are at least three thousand.

After repeated battles, the Japanese army should have lost more than 5,000 soldiers!

In fact, it is.

In the end, how much loss there is, the Japanese invaders themselves know best.

The 4th Independent Mixed Brigade Brigade was almost disabled. Less than two thousand remained.

The 5th Separate Mixed Brigade was completely disabled. Less than 1,500 people remained.

Only the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade of Ono Shin Ke is still complete. The number of losses was in the region of a thousand. But morale was seriously affected.

I had no choice but to report to Taiyuan. Request urgent tactical guidance.

Although knowing this request, it may not be useful at all.

"Nani?"

"Are you surrounded?"

Saburo Saito was taken aback.

Suddenly it felt like the end was coming.
