The battlefield soon turned into a massacre, and the Japanese had no resistance or defensive line to speak of, fleeing in all directions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It should be said that these Japanese troops were quite smart, and they knew that they could not run back, because it was likely to be a key defensive area for the enemy, which can be inferred from the explosions and gunfire coming from the rear before the battle began.

As a result, most of the Japanese troops fled from the mountains on both flanks.

This choice was correct, because the main target of the air fighter was the cars on the road, and as the cars were destroyed, the series of fires ignited by the cars became a barrier to prevent the Japanese from escaping.

After this barrier, Wu Yuhang also arranged five tanks and two companies of infantry on the retreat of the Japanese army.

The reason why only five tanks were arranged was because there was only half an hour to complete the camouflage of these five tanks...... Camouflage a tank nearly three meters tall on the side of the road and be able to fool the eyes of the Japanese is no easy task.

The Chinese army's approach was to immediately send in engineer units and use excavators to dig several pits for tanks...... Then drive the tank in, cover it with sorghum stalks, and the camouflage is complete.

These five tanks played a big role in the battle.

Because Matsumoto Daisa saw that the resistance was hopeless, he had to retreat to the next best thing, hoping to organize troops to break through...... The breakthrough point for its breakthrough is the rear.

Matsumoto had a reason for doing this: the flanks were open sorghum fields, and it was almost impossible to keep up with the tanks on such terrain, so the troops would surely suffer heavy casualties. However, if you can fight back from the original route, you may retreat to a rather narrow space and prevent the tanks from following by means of a sabotaged road.

At this time, Matsumoto still held out the hope that he would be able to bring the troops out completely, which proved to be unrealistic afterwards.

Matsumoto only realized this after organizing two breakouts...... The flames and black smoke from the explosions of cars along the way prevented the Japanese from organizing a decent breakout, while the enemy occupied the favorable terrain and relied on five tanks to lay out a line of defense that was almost impossible to penetrate...... The shells and bullets released by those five tanks were beyond Matsumoto's imagination.

This is to blame for the lack of knowledge of the Japanese army, or it can also be said that it is insufficient training and preparation...... The 122nd Division of the Japanese Army and even the Third Front Army of the Japanese Army, they did not have the experience of fighting with real American-style equipment, and the American-style equipment they knew was American-style equipment in China, the kind of "Springfield-style rifle" and small-caliber mortars, and even if there were a few tanks, it was a tank like "Stuart".

However, due to the large number of national troops and the lack of logistical supplies, even the number of equipment of the "Stuart" is not large.

So it's not surprising that Matsumoto didn't know how much firepower the five "Sherman" tanks could have.

This led to the Japanese piling up at least two squadron corpses on the breakout point, and after the fight, Matsumoto himself lost confidence and reluctantly joined the team that fled towards both flanks.

However, Matsumoto was unable to escape in the end, because he fled too late, and the enemy's tanks chasing and killing the rout were even ahead of him, so Matsumoto suddenly found that he was surrounded by enemies, and he had no way to escape.

Realizing that Matsumoto was an officer, several fighters tried to capture Matsumoto alive, but this attempt quickly failed, because in the next second, Matsumoto raised his gun and aimed it at his head and pulled the trigger without hesitation......

In this battle, the 201st Wing of the Japanese Army was almost completely annihilated, and a force of more than 3,200 people was killed more than 1,800 people, and more than 800 prisoners, which means that only a few hundred people were able to escape.

And the reason why these hundreds of people were able to escape was because the purpose of the Chinese army was not to chase down the rout, but to capture Shenyang as quickly as possible, otherwise, even if those Japanese troops hid in the mountains that were not suitable for tank combat, they would be dug out by the soldiers.

"Good!" When Zhang Chi heard the results of the battle, he simply gave an order: "Keep going!" ”

At this time, Zhang Chi's mood was extremely heavy, because through the car window, he could see several Chinese people with numb expressions outside from time to time...... Maybe it's because the Chinese Expeditionary Force is wearing British uniforms, and the people think that they are not their own troops, or maybe it's because they have seen too many puppet troops in peacetime, so they are also suspicious and vigilant about this army.

What impressed Zhang Chi the most was that he saw a family: walking in front was an elderly woman, wearing a pair of tattered trousers made of sacks, and her blouse was so torn that the wind could cover her thin body. The woman carried a baby who was still nursing in a specially made bag on her back. Behind, following the mother at a trott, were several children who were almost naked...... 2 boys and a girl. At the end of the line was a scrawny, exhausted man, hunched over a package containing pots and pots of belongings.

Their family was not afraid to see Zhang Chi's army, but just stood on the side of the road and waited for them to pass by...... They seem to be saying that they are so poor that they have only one last rotten life left, and they can take it whenever they want, and they can't live anyway.

"Fellow!" Seeing them like this, several soldiers immediately ran up and handed them a few biscuits.

But they didn't dare to take it, because they didn't believe that there would be such a good thing in this world, and they didn't believe that there would be anyone in this world who would be willing to help them.

Zhang Chi walked out of the armored car, asked the guards to send a few sets of military uniforms to drape on a few trembling children, took the biscuits in the soldier's hand and handed them to the thin man with a suspicious face, and said, "Take it!" We are the troops of the Chinese, we are here to fight the devils! ”

"You ...... Is it really the troops of the Chinese? The man looked at the tanks and armored vehicles that were "rumbling" by.

So Zhang Chi knew why the man didn't believe it...... When has the Chinese army ever had so much such advanced equipment.

Zhang Chi nodded and explained, "Of course it's true!" We are the Chinese Expeditionary Force, fought back from abroad! ”

As soon as he heard the "Chinese Expeditionary Force", the man's eyes lit up: "You are the Chinese Expeditionary Force?" Are you really the Chinese Expeditionary Force?! ”

After receiving Zhang Chi's affirmative answer, the man couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement: "Great, you're finally here...... We are saved! (To be continued.) )
