"Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the latest telegram has just been sent from the Yamaguchi Brigade that the Brigade Headquarters has arrived at Jiajiaying, and has encountered desperate resistance from the Chinese army a kilometer outside the village of Jiajiaying. The Chinese have built more than 10 improvised pillboxes and more than 20 firepower points on the periphery of Jiajiaying, and Yamaguchi Shaosa is organizing troops to launch an attack on the positions of the Chinese people, and asks His Excellency the brigade commander to show you? "Sergeant Oguron once again reported the whereabouts of the Yamaguchi Brigade to Major General Noboru Kunisaki, who was on the march.

Although Major General Kunizaki Noboru was surprised that the Chinese army did not destroy the highway along the road, after all, this was the guerrilla trick and trick of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, but along the way, the successful arrival of the Yamaguchi Brigade at Jiajiaying has proved that the road between the road from the road now traveling to Jiajiaying is still relatively safe, even if the Chinese army has a conspiracy, but that can only be implemented after Jiajiaying, so Major General Kunisaki Noboru thought for a while and ordered: "Xiaolu, send a report to Yamaguchi and let his brigade attack immediately, Let's just say that the brigade headquarters will arrive soon. ”

After giving the order, Major General Noboru Kunisaki asked the lieutenant who was operating the chariot to stop the chariot, and then stood up and got out of the chariot, and the other chariots saw that the chariot of His Excellency the Brigade Commander had stopped, and all the officers immediately got out of the car and came to Major General Noboru Kunisaki's side, waiting for the instructions of His Excellency the Brigade Commander.

Major General Kunizaki Noboru looked at the captain of the chariot brigade, Takeda Nakasa, and said: "Takeda, you are the best commander of the chariot division, and now there is a group of Shina farmers with rudimentary weapons in front of you who are blocking the wheels of our Imperial Japanese chariot, and they want to brave some rudimentary weapons and equipment against our holy war, now I order your chariot brigade to set off immediately, rush to Jiajiaying and crush all those damn Shina peasants to death, can you do it?" ”。

"Hai, report to Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, humble duty will never disappoint the expectations of His Excellency the Brigade Commander, and be loyal to the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, the Great Japanese Empire Takamaki (Banzai) His Majesty the Emperor Yamazai (Banzai)" After speaking, Takeda Nakasa bowed respectfully to Major General Noboru Kunizaki, then turned around and got into the car and rushed in the direction of Jiajiaying.

Looking at the chariots in the distance, Major General Noboru Kunisaki had an indescribable envy, speaking of infantry and cavalry, and even the current charioteers, in fact, the status of infantry has always been very low. Especially for a coastal defense country like Japan, which is surrounded by the sea, the sea is actually their natural barrier. However, the more such a country has, the more it must develop other arms other than the army, and in the last century, Japan tightened its belts and developed its navy. Both the common people and the emperor threw gold and silver on the navy like crazy, because the reality of the Qing Dynasty, which had been a powerful neighbor for thousands of years, was bullied by the Western powers, which greatly stimulated the Japanese and forced Japan to develop a navy to protect itself.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan received 230 million taels of silver in war reparations (of which 30 million taels were ransom fees), and since then the Japanese navy has become larger, and large warships have placed orders to Western countries one by one. Since the development of the navy, it has been competing with the army for funds, and the annual military budget meeting is a meeting between the army and the navy to compete for military spending, and the heads of the Japanese army, from the emperor to the military department, have an unusual preference for the navy, so every competition is a history of blood and tears for the army.

At the beginning, the infantry and cavalry competed for funds, and then the base camp included the chariot unit in an important position in the development, so there was another charioteer soldier in the list of those who competed for funds. From the beginning to the end, the Japanese army, especially the infantry in the army, was the target of the beating, and it is no wonder that Major General Kunizaki Noboru envied a chariot Nakasa. …,

And the strong combat effectiveness of the tank is also one of the reasons for the envy of Major General Kunisaki Noboru, who is one of the senior officers of the Japanese army who participated in the attack on Nanjing City, so he has an extremely clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the tank unit, maybe one or two tanks do not have much impact on the entire battlefield, at best, one or two more mobile turrets.

However, once the number of chariots exceeds ten, the combat effectiveness displayed by them is far from what ordinary people can imagine. With the cooperation of the air force, it would be easy for a tank brigade to break through the defense line formed by a division. A chariot division can destroy the defensive line composed of ten infantry divisions and regiments, and the strength of infantry and charioteers doubles as the number of chariots increases, so each charioteer is far higher than an infantryman.

Major General Kunizaki Noboru shook his head and put aside some emotion in his mind, and then said to several senior officers who rushed over: "Gentlemen, it seems that the people of China are planning to fight a decisive battle with our Imperial Japanese Army in Jiajiaying, according to the news from the troops on the front line, there are about 10,000 people from the China side, and they are also equipped with a large number of automatic firepower and some artillery, but no chariot troops of the people of China have been found. But I don't need to introduce the horror of the troops led by that devil Han, so we must fight this battle well, and His Excellency the division commander is behind us, if the recruits of the 38th Division are snatched in front of us, it will not only be the face of the brigade that we have lost, but the entire Fifth Division will also become a laughing stock in the imperial army. Gentlemen, Kunisaki is here, please everyone" After speaking, Major General Kunisaki Noboru bowed deeply to all the officers.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, please rest assured, as long as the Chinese army dares to appear in front of our 9th Brigade, our 11th Wing will definitely tear them to pieces."

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, our 41st Wing is an elite team that has participated in the Battle of Xinkou, and Han Yunhua's headquarters is nothing, I believe that as long as our 41st Wing fights, they will definitely be driven back to Saibei, please rest assured"

Listening to the bold words of these wing commanders, Major General Kunizaki Noboru felt much more at ease, although he didn't think much of the Inner Mongolia Military Region in his heart, but many Japanese divisions and regiments were devastating by Han Yunhua's subordinates, and even several divisions and brigades were directly erased from the battle sequence of the Chinese army, so Major General Kunizaki Noboru had mixed feelings about Han Yunhua's subordinates.

"Open the way" eased the uncalm thoughts in his heart, and Major General Noboru Kunisaki gave the order to move forward in a loud voice.

It is said that Takeda Nakasa led the chariot brigade to quickly bump on the country dirt road to Jiajiaying, and the reason why it is called a bump instead of a Mercedes rush is entirely because the difference in Chinese traffic at this time is simply unimaginable, and the performance of Japanese chariots at this time is also enough garbage. Barely able on a flat road, once marching into the vast countryside of China, the speed of the chariot was simply not comparable to that of a war horse, and the huge bumps were enough to turn an untrained soldier into a pregnant woman two or three months pregnant in a day.

Takeda Nakasa has just been transferred from the wing commander of the cavalry wing to a brigade commander of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Tank Division this year. As a new type of military force that has just emerged in the Japanese army, the tank unit has made every military commander salivate for its powerful firepower and assault power. Many people would rather exchange a real power infantry wing captain for the captain of a chariot brigade, and he, the former wing captain of the cavalry wing, can also be transferred to the chariot division as the captain of this real power brigade, which makes Takeda Nakasa very satisfied with his current status, and this time the expedition to Saibei is simply the easiest in Takeda Nakasa's opinion, this is completely the division commander His Excellency is making meritorious contributions to the entire chariot division. …,

"Captain, there is a depression in front of you, with standing water but not deep, and the soil is not suitable for chariots. Captain please? The charioteers who were exploring the road in front got out of the car and ran over to report to Takeda Nakasa.

"Can you take a detour?" Because the weight of the tank is too large, it is indeed not suitable for driving in a loose soil environment, otherwise it is likely to make the tank fall into a quagmire and affect the battle. On the other hand, since the chariot is a product of steel and is easily eroded by water mist, it is necessary to avoid driving in the water as much as possible.

"I can make a detour, but it will take an hour. However, there is still a dirt and gravel road in the depression, but there is a small wooden bridge in the middle with a load of less than 10 tons, so the traffic speed must be very slow."

Takeda Zhongsa thought for a while and said: "We really can't afford to delay for an hour, order the troops to immediately cross the bridge from the dirt and rocks, the speed is the lowest, one car passes and the other passes, after passing over, don't care about the convoy behind, and rush directly to the Jiajiaying position, hurry"

"Hail"

Takeda Nakasa did not notice that less than a hundred meters away from their tank brigade was a well-camouflaged cellar, and the cellar was covered with solid frozen soil, and the frozen soil was only a thin layer, and below it was a large ditch. Now there are more than a dozen soldiers armed to the teeth squatting in the ditch, although each soldier is so cold that his face is blue, and his teeth are knocked up and down a few times from time to time, making strange sounds, and every soldier is in a mood of excitement back then.

"Company commander, let's see that the little devil has entered the ambush circle, shall we detonate it? Not a few words," a soldier asked a young cadre in a shudder.

The young cadre didn't reply and said: "No, now the devil's first chariot has not crossed the bridge, at this time the detonation will be more than a dozen mines wasted, the bridge is small, the little devil's Wang Ba box can only be passed one by one, let's wait slowly, wait until the little devil's first Wang Ba box stops at the side of the small bridge and then detonate, then one of these dog days will not be able to run." ”

"Company commander, you are still smart, I am not as good as you, hehehe, when you say we will detonate it, 140 cannonballs are enough for the little devil to drink a pot, that guy is very powerful, and when the time comes, the iron king of the little devil will blow up to the sky" The little soldier said with some excitement.

"Then it doesn't need to be said, this is the method that our Commander Han came up with, you can take care of it, how many chariots have been blown up, go back and let the brigade commander ask you for credit, comrades are ready, the little devil is about to take the bait, wait a while to listen to my order, let's press the detonator together, when the time comes, I will ask you to watch the big fireworks, get ready, 321 press" As the company commander's words landed, the soldiers pressed the detonator in their hands at the same time.

I only heard a loud and violent explosion outside, even if they were still one or two hundred meters away from the center of the explosion, but the huge vibration wave still affected several unprepared soldiers, and even one soldier was directly stunned, and when the company commander and others helped the entire soldier up, they saw that the soldier's mouth and nose were bloody, and the whole person was already unconscious.

The company commander has been in the army for more than three years, and he can be regarded as a veteran with rich combat experience, he rolled the eyelids of the injured soldier, and then said: "Comrades, don't worry, the second stunned man is just affected by the shock wave, and there is no danger to his life for the time being, just go back and raise it for a few days, but I am afraid that the ears of the second stunned man will not be good in the future." But it's good to have a fate, don't worry about these for now, and see how the little devil's Iron King Badu is? ”

A soldier quietly lifted the mud plank hidden in the earthen ditch, took out his binoculars and carefully observed the battle outside. After waiting for a long time and not seeing him speak, the company commander asked a little unslowly: "Dazhong, what's going on, whether the commander's artillery battles are working or not, and how many chariots are left of the little devil?" ”…,

Chen Dazhong continued to hold the telescope and observe, but replied in his mouth: "Company commander, aren't I watching?" But there was dust and smoke everywhere outside, and there was nothing but these things on the battlefield, not even a little devil. Wait a little longer, and you won't be able to see it until the smoke clears. ”

The company commander said: "Dazhi, you come to hold the second stunned, Dazhong, you give me the telescope, I'll take a look?" ”

Dazhong hurriedly handed the telescope to the company commander, and he crawled over and hugged the injured second stunned man to his lap.

The company commander took the telescope and looked out, only to see that the long dirt and gravel road where they had laid the mines was now nothing to be seen, perhaps because the smoke had dissipated a little, so he could see it much more clearly than Dazhong. The whole battlefield was littered with iron lumps, and a whole forty-six chariots, one no more, no less and no less, were lying there. Although there are scattered parts all over the capital, the chassis of the chariot is still there, and although most of them are deformed, a closer look can still make out that part of the vehicle.

The company commander was also stunned by the scene in front of him, just now because he was stunned and injured, so the ten people did not stare at the explosion scene outside, so this result is really surprising at a glance.

"Comrades, the infantry of the little devils is coming, our retreat Dazhong, you and Dazhi are stunned, a few of us are responsible for covering, hurry up" The company commander knew that the Japanese infantry was not far from here, and they still had a wounded man, and the consequences of staying here any longer would be unimaginable, since their task had been completed, he decided to retreat immediately with the wounded.

These people are a few soldiers of the reconnaissance company of the first brigade, Shangguan Qing knows that the key to whether he can deal with the ninth brigade of the Japanese army is whether there is a way to deal with the tank brigade of the ninth brigade, fortunately, Han Yunhua has long known that the Japanese army sent the third tank division to Saibei this time, so he also sent his secret weapons to the front line.

Han Yunhua's secret weapon is actually very simple, in the first few battles, the Inner Mongolia Military Region did not capture the giant shells of the Japanese army's field heavy artillery. At the beginning, because there were cannonballs and no cannons that fired cannonballs, such giant cannonballs were stored by Han Yunhua. Later, more than 30 field heavy artillery pieces of the Japanese army were captured, but because the transportation system in the northern part of the country was too backward, the heavy field heavy artillery was not suitable for marching operations in the northern part of the country, so the entire 31 field heavy guns and tens of thousands of huge shells became the chicken ribs of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and it was a pity to abandon them without taste.

This time, the Japanese army's chariot troops went north to give Han Yunhua a lot of pressure, and the best weapon to deal with chariots was 37 anti-aircraft guns in addition to chariots, but this kind of defensive artillery was more than offensive and not much in China and Japan, and even the Japanese army, which was equipped with luxurious equipment on the Chinese battlefield, one of its divisions was equipped with four 37 anti-aircraft guns, and the Kuomintang troops were even more unbearable. Not to mention the Inner Mongolia Military Region, a unit that makes a living by robbing others, after all, if there are not even those who have been robbed, then there will be no looters.

Since there were no anti-aircraft guns, Han Yunhua thought of another weapon that was the most common against Japanese tanks and combat vehicles - mines. Ordinary mines are indeed not suitable for dealing with combat vehicles, but anti-tank mines rarely appear on the Chinese battlefield, and the arsenal of the Inner Mongolia Military Region does not store such good things, so Han Yunhua thought of the heavy mines made by the Chinese army in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

In fact, the so-called heavy mine uses a giant artillery shell as an explosive body, and then detonates the shell with a device triggered by electric shock, such a giant mine is much more powerful than a real anti-tank mine. But such mines have a number of shortcomings and are not suitable for large-scale use on the battlefield. First of all, because the cost of this kind of mine is too high, a giant shell is not much cheaper than a heavy machine gun, and the transformation of mines with heavy shells is not a method that only Han Yunhua can think of, but because the cost and performance are not proportional, there are not many people who use it. Secondly, the technology of installing this kind of mine is still very high, and if the technology is not high, it is likely that the giant mine will be detonated when it is laid, so there are not many troops using this kind of giant mine......
