Ito Shaozo hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Hayi! Please rest assured, Your Excellency, even if there are more dirt roads, our chariot brigade can wipe them all out. "It turned out that this Ito brigade was not an ordinary infantry brigade, but a tank brigade, with two tank squadrons equipped with a total of 26 tanks, and two infantry squadrons responsible for protecting the tanks. Although the strength of the entire brigade is not large, its combat effectiveness is quite strong.

Known as the king of land warfare, the tank has strong armor that can effectively withstand enemy fire, and the tank's strong mobility and firepower allow it to run rampant on the battlefield. Although Japan's research on tanks lagged far behind the European and American powers, its tanks were jokingly called the Peeween Tank. However, even such tanks are a nightmare for the Eighth Route Army, because the Eighth Route Army is poorly equipped and has no effective way to deal with these tanks. It is precisely because of this that this Ito Shaozo is so arrogant and thinks that the Eighth Route Army is vulnerable.

Masao Sato smiled and nodded and said, "Yo Xi! Ito-kun's courage is commendable, which is really admirable, but this time we are facing tens of thousands of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so it is better not to underestimate the enemy too much, our main task now is to hold the defense line of the Pinghan Railway, as long as these dirt roads are blocked, it will be easy to destroy them. ”

"Hello! Your Excellency the General is wise! Ito said respectfully.

"Yo Xi!" Masao Sato nodded and said, "Ito-kun, now I order your chariot brigade to immediately rush to the front line of Pengjiazhuang to support, assist the local defenders, and defeat the attack of the Tuba Road to ensure the safety of the entire defense line." ”

"Hello!" Ito Shaoza replied respectfully, then turned around and strode away.

Looking at the back of Ito Shaoza leaving, Sato Masao frowned and said to himself: "This guy is good at everything, but he is too arrogant." ”

A devil officer next to him said: "Your Excellency the General doesn't have to worry at all, with the backward equipment of the Eighth Route Army, it can't deal with the advanced chariots of the Imperial Japanese Army at all. ”

Masao Sato smiled and nodded and said, "Yo Xi! You're right, it seems that I'm overthinking. ”

At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, but the offensive of the Eighth Route Army had not weakened in the slightest, and after dark, it was more beneficial to the Eighth Route Army, so the offensive of the Eighth Route Army became more violent.

Ito Shaozo hurried to the front line of Pengjiazhuang with his tank brigade, and the battle on the battlefield was in full swing, and the Japanese army's defensive fortifications were broken through by the Eighth Route Army one after another, and the little devils were defeated and retreated.

Ito Shaosa held the binoculars to observe the situation on the battlefield, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this time, a little devil hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, Yoshida Daisa ordered us to enter the position immediately and assist them in blocking the attack of the Eighth Route Army." ”

"Into the position?" Ito Shaozo frowned slightly, and said with a sneer: "You go and inform Yoshida Osa that the chariot is an offensive weapon and is used for attack, not defense." Our chariot brigade is ready to attack and is ready to launch a counteroffensive at any time, so we ask Yoshida Daisa to send troops to assist us in crushing this group of hateful Tuhachi Road, and then destroy them all. ”

The little devil hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Ito Shaoza's cold gaze, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and hurriedly responded: "Hayi! Then he turned and ran away.

"Chariot brigade! Get ready to attack~! Ito Shaoza shouted loudly at the top of his voice, then raised his hand and waved forward violently and shouted: "Warriors of the chariot brigade, please charge with me and wipe out all these hateful dirt eight roads~!" Kill and give~! ”

With Ito Shaoza's order, more than 20 devil tanks slowly started, the speed became faster and faster, and they rushed forward with full horsepower, Ito Shaoza shrank into his beloved chariot with an excited face, and entered the combat state. More than 300 little devils from the two infantry brigades, holding up the 38 big covers with bayonets hanging on them, followed closely behind the tank groups, and rushed out together.

"Chirp~!" In the midst of a piercing whistling sound, one after another flares rose into the air, emitting dazzling lights, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were day.

The devil's firepower was too fierce, and the attacking Eighth Route Army was temporarily blocked, and all of them were suppressed by the devil's firepower and lay on the ground, unable to move. At this moment, the soldiers suddenly felt a tremor on the ground, and there was a faint roar of motors in the dense gunfire.

The soldiers looked up one after another and looked ahead, only to see more than 20 tanks rushing out of the Japanese position, and their huge bodies were like bloodthirsty beasts, gradually revealing their hideous faces.

"Not good! It's the Iron King Eight of the little devils! ”

"Horse's! Why did so many Iron Kings suddenly pop up! ”

"Oops! They rushed over! ”

"Hit Lao Tzu hard and block them!" I don't know who shouted, and the heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army raised their guns one after another and began to shoot fiercely.

For a while, there was a loud burst of gunfire, and dense bullets flew towards the devil's position like raindrops. "Jingle Bell~!" When the bullet hit the tank, it only made a crisp sound and splashed up clusters of sparks, which could not penetrate the tank's armor at all, let alone cause any damage to the little devils inside.

"Da Da Da Da~!" The on-board machine guns on the tank let out bursts of roars, and the blazing bullets rained mercilessly towards the Eighth Route Army. Where the bullets rained, the mud splashed everywhere, blood flew, and the heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fell under the rain of bullets from the devils in pieces.

"Knock knock~!" A dull cannon sound sounded, and the muzzle of the chariot cannon spewed out a stream of flames, and one shell after another spewed out, and quickly flew into the crowd of the Eighth Route Army with a piercing roar. "Boom~! Rumble~! Violent explosions rang out one after another, and the machine gun positions of the Eighth Route Army were destroyed one after another under the shelling of the devils.

"Dog! Demolition team to Lao Tzu! Blow up these Iron Kings! A commander of the Eighth Route Army shouted hoarsely.

The bullets had no effect on these heavily armored tanks at all, and in desperation, the heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army could only adopt the most primitive way.

As soon as the commander gave the order, dozens of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed out without hesitation with explosives bags or grenades wrapped all over their bodies.

"Da Da Da Da~!" The devil's machine gun shouted even more happily, and the devil infantry following the tank also raised their guns and began to shoot.

"Puff~!" The whistling bullets hit the bodies of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, making a muffled sound, and streams of blood shot out, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fell on the way to the charge one by one, under such dense firepower, no one could get close to these tanks at all, and these steel giants continued to rumble forward, and no one seemed to be able to stop them.
