Matsumoto's suspicions were of course justified, not only because of the presence of fighters in the sky, but also because of the fierce sound of artillery coming from the south...... It is impossible for the guerrillas to have heavy artillery, and even the Japanese army does not have heavy artillery capable of making such a sound. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, Matsumoto asked Lieutenant General Yamashita several times to change the reinforcement plan and wait for the reconnaissance to be clear.

But Yamashita didn't take Matsumoto's warning to heart, and he scolded Matsumoto on the phone, "What's the matter with you? It's just a reinforcement mission, all you have to do is get to Lushun in the shortest possible time and get the trouble out, got it! ”

"Yes!" Matsumoto reluctantly responded, so he waved his hand and continued to order the troops to advance.

Yamashita's stubbornness and contempt actually pushed Matsumoto's 201st Wing into the fire pit...... But in fact, even Matsumoto didn't expect that the enemy he was facing was such a strong opponent, otherwise, even if he disobeyed the order, he would not continue to advance.

The Japanese army's marching sequence was to reconnoiter three rounds in front and side, followed by groups of main forces carried by automobiles...... Compared with the Chinese Expeditionary Force, such equipment can be said to be shabby, and there is not even a single light tank in the front reconnaissance, and even the main force in the rear has only three tanks.

However, this was quite normal for the Japanese army...... In the northeast, they most often dealt with guerrillas and civilian riots, and the equipment had to be used by the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield, so it was good to be able to get enough cars now.

It didn't take long for the Matsumoto United's convoy to pull into a sorghum field. Of course, the sorghum field is already desolate, with the exception of weeds and sorghum stalks that have been cut down...... This was not only because it was winter, but also because the Japanese army was harvesting grain and grass for the "Operation No. 1" plan, and it would be strange if there were any crops in the fields of Manchu at this time.

More than a dozen side three-wheelers drove fast in front, perhaps because the weather was a little cold, and the Japanese wanted to hurry to their destination to end the arduous journey, so they passed through the open field like arrows, and then turned along the road into the back of a hill.

However, what happened next made the Japanese hardly believe their eyes......

Behind the hills were tanks and armored vehicles, on the roads, in the sorghum fields, behind the grass...... Moreover, these tanks are all steel monsters that they have never seen before, and behind these tanks are soldiers with rifles like wolves.

This scene frightened several devil drivers on the spot, and their heads slowed down by half a beat, and the two side three wheels immediately lost control and rushed off the road and overturned on the side of the road.

The other three wheels couldn't help but collide with each other, and it was even more ironic that ...... The first few side three-wheelers even collided with the enemy's tanks, and then the barrels and muzzles of the enemy's black holes were quickly aimed at their heads, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly raised their hands.

Seeing that the situation was not good, several Japanese soldiers in the back immediately threw down the side three wheels that had been smashed into a ball, and ran towards the rear with a rolling belt......

The Chinese army was more than capable of killing them at this point, but they didn't...... Anyway, these enemies are already ducks to the mouth, and there is no hurry to clean them up at this time.

Therefore, when the Japanese soldiers were constantly gesturing at the main force behind in the other direction of the corner, the Chinese army activated the tanks under the order of Wu Yuhang...... The tank was not activated because it was feared that the Japanese would hear the sound and not go into the trap.

Then, as Wu Yuhang waved his hand forward, the tank troops drove forward at full speed.

Matsumoto Daisa sensed that something was wrong at the first moment, so he immediately ordered his troops to stop advancing and prepare for battle...... But when he heard the sound of the motor around the corner, he couldn't help but half-open his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.

"That can't be the sound of a tank!" Matsumoto Daisa said to himself, "This ...... How can it be?! ”

Matsumoto did not believe it, so he did not order the troops to retreat.

In fact, even if he ordered a retreat at this time, it would have been too late, because a burst of gunfire and explosions had already been heard behind him, and the way for the Japanese army to retreat had been blocked.

Then, one tank after another emerged from around the corner under the terrifying eyes of the Japanese army...... There were more than 30 of them, and they emitted black smoke and rotated their turrets from time to time but did not fire, as if they were showing some kind of disdain for the Japanese soldiers in front of them.

All the Japanese troops were stunned, and Staff Officer Imai turned to look at Matsumoto and said, "Your Excellency Osa, we ...... Without anti-tank weapons! ”

Matsumoto looked at Imai incredulously, he didn't understand why he hadn't replaced this stupid guy until today...... Their own troops have never had any anti-tank weapons, and if they do, they are pitiful anti-tank guns, but those anti-tanks are simply not enough to pose a threat to these tanks of the enemy in front of them.

"What should I do?" Matsumoto heard a subordinate exclaim in panic: "Your Excellency Osa, what should I do now?" ”

"Grenades!" Matsumoto yelled: "There are also explosives packs, you must block these tanks!" ”

"Yes!" The Japanese army answered, but the voice was trembling and weak.

And that's not all, just when the Japanese army was preparing for battle in fear...... Part of the reason why these Japanese soldiers had the courage to prepare was that they were as ignorant as Imai Staff Officers, they didn't know how powerful the "Sherman" tank was, so they thought they could repel the enemy with grenades, explosive packs, and mortars.

This is not to blame them, because most of them have come into contact with tanks in their lives or those of the national army, so in their world, tanks can indeed be repelled with these, and even machine guns can be used to pierce their armor......

But a few warplanes roaring in the sky made them completely lose confidence.

The battle began at the moment when the fighters dived, and the sorghum field, which was still relatively calm, suddenly burst into pieces of shells and bullets, tank guns, machine guns, rifles, and artillery laid behind, plus a few fighters in the sky to intercept the retreat of the Japanese army...... So that the whole sorghum field is beaten like a pot of porridge boiling.

After a few minutes, the Japanese no longer paid attention to Matsumoto's orders, even when Matsumoto yelled "No retreat!" You cowards! He even brandished a pistol to knock down one after another fleeing Japanese soldiers to the ground, but it could not prevent the collapse of the Japanese army in the slightest.

The reason is simple, every Japanese army, including Matsumoto, understands that with such a gap in equipment and situation, any resistance is futile.
