Immediately, the armored regiment, which had stayed in front of the front-line positions of the Japanese army for less than half a minute, once again advanced forward amid the roar of tanks. Without the support of all kinds of artillery fire and aircraft, in front of the commanders and fighters of the armored regiment with advanced equipment and several times more powerful firepower. The remaining nearly 1,000 little devils in the entire airport did not have the strong combat power they imagined at all. After only ten minutes of fierce fighting, all of them fell on the way to the charge of the armored regiment, and became ghosts under the guns of the soldiers

After the last ten minutes or so of the attack, the military airfield, which had been completely caught in a sea of fire at this time, was finally completely occupied by the first armored regiment. And just when the fighters of the armored regiment were cheering for their first battle, their victory. A field wing of the Kwantung Army, led by the chief of staff of the garrison wing, got into the ambush circle arranged for him by more than 10,000 soldiers of the two brigades.

More than 3,000 little devils, without any vigilance at all, got into the encirclement arranged for him by the two brigades of the column directly under them.

A burst of dense mortar shells landed accurately on the formation of the army that was marching rapidly. In an instant, in the middle of the formation of the army that was still marching in the dark of night, a dense explosion of shells immediately sounded. Dozens of fireballs from the explosion of artillery shells rose in the formation of the Japanese army. Suddenly, the marching procession of the Yue army in front of him was completely displayed in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides of the encirclement

The explosion of a shell is the order to fire. With the flames from the explosion of the shells, the entire shape of the army was clearly illuminated. The light and heavy machine guns, which had already been arranged around the reinforcements of the Japanese army, immediately erupted dense tongues of fire. And wherever these tongues of fire went, the little devils who had not yet reacted from the shock were cut to the ground one after another.

Only the first round of strafing at the beginning of the battle, the soldiers of the two brigades, who had gathered several hundred light and heavy machine guns, were in an instant. A field wing of more than 3,000 little devils paid the price of more than half of the casualties. However, as the division commander, Liu Hua, although he believed in the firepower density of his troops, still underestimated the combat effectiveness of these little devils of the Kwantung Army.

Although in the early broke the sudden blow, they lost more than half, and lost the command of the commander. However, the little devil who was in a panic still managed to lie on the ground and avoid machine gun fire in the shortest possible time, relying on his own well-trained training. At the same time, these surviving little devils, under the command of some low-level commanders, relying on the corpses of the dead soldiers in front of them, began to organize one fire point after another to return fire on the fighters on both sides.

Even the soldiers around them, in the dense rain of bullets, and the constantly falling mortar shells. Constantly killed, wounded, and the density of fire fired from their own positions is also constantly decreasing. However, these surviving Kwantung Army little devils still did not hesitate, lying on the ground, trying their best to kill and injure the living force of the people who surrounded them before they were hit and killed.

"Division commander, it's too dark, and now the soldiers of both the enemy and our armies are shooting blindly. And the little devil's resistance is becoming more and more tenacious, although there are less than a thousand people left, there is still no intention of retreating. Looking at the performance of these little devils, it seems that they want to fight to the death and kill our living force as much as possible. "Looking at the positions of the Yue army in the encirclement, bursts of dense bullets rain are shot from time to time, or accurate bullets. Shooting the soldiers who were constantly firing around him on his position, Luo Zhihui, the commander of the Second Brigade who was standing next to the division commander Liu Hua, hurriedly reminded.

"Damn, I really thought that it was like this, these Kwantung Army still continued to resist stubbornly, and the formation showed no signs of panic at all, it seems that we still underestimated the ability of these Kwantung Army to fight in the field. The communications staff officer immediately sent a telegram to Yang Jinghua, the commander of the 1st Armored Regiment, asking him to rush to the battlefield with his troops within five minutes and prepare to participate in the battle. Listening to Luo Zhihui's words, Liu Hua was also speechless for a while. While admiring the will to fight of the Kwantung Army, he commanded loudly to the communications staff officer behind him.

"Yes, division commander" communications staff officer took the order and left. And Yang Jinghua, who was commanding the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and replenish fuel and ammunition for his tank. After receiving the order from the division commander, he immediately guessed what unexpected circumstances had happened in the ambush battle.

"Communicator, order the commanders to board the cars at once and rush to the ambush battlefield a mile away. All the infantry followed up and set off now" Thinking of this, Yang Jinghua did not dare to slack off, and immediately gave the order to the communicator beside him to fight. At the same time, he also turned over and jumped into the tank. The driver, who had already prepared the order, launched the tank and was the first to rush towards the ambush not far away.

Seeing the regiment commander who took the lead, the remaining tanks also started one after another, closely following behind the command vehicle of their regiment commander, and rushed towards the battlefield not far away at their fastest speed. As for the infantrymen who were cleaning up the battlefield, seeing that the tanks serving as cover had left, they didn't say a word, they immediately threw down the trophies in their hands, took their weapons, and under the leadership of their platoon commanders, followed the tanks assigned to their platoon.

"Comrades, hit me hard. The soldiers of the first armored regiment drove tanks to support us, and they all beat me hard to eliminate the remaining little devils in the ambush circle" Seeing the direction of the airport, several tanks and a large number of troops rushed towards the battlefield in a daze, and the commanders and fighters guarding various positions shouted loudly at the soldiers around them.

You know, around the little devil are nearly 10,000 infantry. And the infantry of nearly 10,000 people could not solve the problem of an infantry wing of only more than 3,000 people. If this is said, where will the faces of these infantry commanders be placed? Thinking of this, in sight of the armored regiment that is getting closer and closer. The commanders on the battlefield have commanded the fighters around them, increasing the firepower density of the attack.

However, although the soldiers are anxious, the little devils are also very tenacious. In addition, there are a large number of corpses of soldiers who have died around them as cover. The hundreds of little devils in the heavy encirclement not only did not have any panic, but also fought back, relying on their accurate marksmanship, constantly killing and injuring the machine gunners of the surrounding Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, he used the corpses of dead soldiers around him to build a solid human flesh position in front of him. Unless the opponent's mortar shells hit themselves directly, even; No matter how strong the firepower around his position is, it can't do much damage to these little devils.

However, their wishes and dreams were completely shattered at this time. Because just when they were delusional, relying on the fortifications in front of them, they could block the charge of the surrounding Eighth Route Army and wait for reinforcements in Taiyuan City. A loud roar reached his ears. At the same time, the earth began to tremble with the roar.

"Yo Xi, the warriors of this empire, it is the airport that sent a tank unit to meet us" The same thought as the little devil of the airport garrison brigade. The little devil who was stuck in the encirclement of the fighters, when he saw the nine tanks galloping in the direction of the airport, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted loudly at the soldiers around him.

However, what made these little devils feel incredible was that they were stunned in the face of the tanks that rushed towards them. The Eighth Route Army, which surrounded him, did not have any obstacles, but took the initiative to let go of a wide opening and put a few tanks and a large number of infantry in.

"Nani, what's going on? Why did the Eighth Route Army face our tanks without any resistance, could it be that these Eighth Route Army, seeing our reinforcements coming, were ready to retreat? Looking at the few tanks that rushed into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army without encountering any resistance, one of the surviving squadron leaders asked rhetorically with a puzzled face.

However, the nine tanks that soon rushed into the encirclement of the fighters solved the doubts of the squadron leader. Because, the nine tanks that entered the ambush circle, under the command of the regiment commander Yang Jinghua, had quickly formed a charging formation on the way forward quickly.

"Order all the tanks, prepare to fire, and the infantry will follow up and destroy the remaining little devils in the encirclement" saw the position of the army that was less than two hundred meters away. The corners of Yang Jinghua's mouth showed a confident smile, and he commanded loudly into the microphone in front of him.

With the issuance of Yang Jinghua's order, nine tanks had already been lined up in a row, less than five meters apart from each other. Immediately, in the offensive formation with a width of more than 50 meters, an impenetrable rain of bullets was formed. At the same time, the nine tank guns, at the same time, roared at the position of the little devil.

Suddenly, hundreds of little devils who were still full of confidence just now, waiting for their reinforcements. Including the squadron leader, they all looked at the nine tanks in front of them that were constantly firing at them. They could not believe the facts in front of them, how could a tank want to fire on its own.

"How can Baga be like this, Bage Yalu they are not the tanks of the empire, they are the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, how is it possible, when did the Eighth Route Army actually equip tanks?" Looking at a machine gun position less than ten meters away from him, with the fire of tank guns a few hundred meters away, several heroic imperial soldiers and more than a dozen corpses around them immediately turned into a pile of stumps and broken arms, and the squadron leader asked in disbelief.

"Baga, what we have in front of us is the tank of the Eighth Route Army, hurry, shoot immediately, shoot quickly, you must block the charge of the tank of the Eighth Route Army" looked at the tank that was getting closer and closer, and kept thinking about the tank with tongues of fire in his position. The squadron leader still reacted from the shock in the shortest possible time, and shouted an order to the soldiers who were still stunned beside him.

"Da da bang bang" received the order, and the remaining little devils on the position immediately turned their guns and fired a dense rain of bullets at the nine tanks. However, although the armor protection capability of the tanks of the Japanese army is very weak, there is still no worry in the face of the bullets fired by the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army.

Although, the bullets that hit the tank kept sounding with a thumping sound, and a spark came out. However, the whole tank did not suffer any damage, and it still quickly wanted to rush over on its own. And fired a round of tank guns into the bunkers that were piled up of corpses.

"Baga, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army are very powerful, Ono-kun, immediately take your team and destroy these nine tanks for me, quickly" Seeing the dense rain of bullets he fired, it had no effect on the nine tanks in front of him. The squadron leader couldn't help but be surprised for a while, and ordered loudly to a squad leader beside him.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain. The warriors of the Imperial Army, all of them will kill me and destroy the tanks of the Eighth Route Army in front of him" The squad leader did not hesitate, and immediately took the remaining dozen soldiers behind him, strapped with grenades, and launched a suicidal charge towards the tanks that were getting closer and closer.

However, after a coordinated operation of infantry tanks with just a live ammunition, after a test of life and death. At this time, the fighters who followed behind the tank were not as easy to bully as they had just been. Seeing the little devil with grenades strapped all over his body, he launched a suicidal charge at the tank in front of him. Except that the vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tanks began to turn their muzzles and shoot at a dozen little devils. The fighters who followed the tank, also through the gap between the tanks, shot at each other.

In less than ten seconds, the dozen or so little devils who rushed out of their positions all fell under the guns of the fighters before they could break through the distance of ten meters.

"Eight Grid Yalu, when did the Eighth Route Army have such a powerful infantry and coordinated combat tactics, why didn't our intelligence department notice it. Eight grid tooth road, yours, attack again, be sure to destroy the tank in front of you, hurry up "saw a dozen soldiers, and lost them in an instant." The squadron leader couldn't help but be taken aback, and had a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the armored regiment of the Eighth Route Army in front of him.

However, looking at the tanks that are getting closer and closer, although ordering the soldiers to continue a new counter-charge is tantamount to suicide. However, he could only do that. Because as long as these tanks approached the positions they were holding, then the hundreds of imperial soldiers behind them would be brutally slaughtered by the opponent's nine tanks without accident.

Without any hesitation, the soldiers who were called "Hi Captain" immediately hung the grenades on their bodies, crossed out of their hiding positions, and under the cover of a dense rain of bullets, they kept rolling and launched a suicidal attack on the tank.

However, the final result was not surprising, no matter how many death squads were sent by the little devils in the encirclement. Thanks to the close cooperation of the fighters and the tank, Death did not come close to a distance of twenty meters from the tank.

Finally, when the Yue army had lost almost a small squad of daredevils, nine tanks had rushed to a place less than thirty meters away from the Yue army's position. At the same time, the remaining hundreds of imps in the encirclement have already paid the price of more than half of the losses after the continuous shelling and firing of nine tanks. There were less than two squadrons of more than 300 little devils, surrounded by several squadron leaders, around several positions, and carried out the final defense.

"Order all tank guns to fire five shells at the positions of the Japanese armyOrder all mortars to fire ten rounds at the Japanese army, and now open fire" In the tanks of the armored regiment and the artillery positions of the two brigades, the commander's command to open fire was sounded one after another.

"Boom" With the slight vibration of the tank, the tank in which Yang Jinghua was riding fired a shell at the position of the Yue Army, which was only less than 40 meters away from him. Through the lookout, Yang Jinghua can see clearly. A few dozen meters away, under the fire of their own direct-aiming artillery, the defensive position formed by the corpses of the soldiers was suddenly blown out of a gap several meters wide. And in the gap, there are several little devils, lying on the ground and constantly rolling their bodies, wailing in pain.

At this moment, a mortar cluster consisting of all the artillery fire of the two brigades had already fired a raindrop of shells at the same time at several positions held by the Japanese army.

A dense burst of explosions sounded, almost fifty rounds of various small-caliber shells, and at the same time, explosions occurred on several small positions. In an instant, the several positions that the army was trapped in were completely covered by this dense artillery fire. After several rounds of artillery fire, the positions held by the Japanese army were almost blown into hell on earth by the dense artillery fire, except for the ammunition that was constantly burning and detonating.

In the midst of this dense artillery fire, there were several positions held by the army. By the end, hardly a single intact body had been found. What's more, in these positions, when the soldiers cleaned the battlefield, there was almost no place for them to stay. Because, if you step on it, it may be a little devil's stump and broken arm or blown out of the internal organs

"Leave the 2nd Brigade and 4th Regiment to clean up the battlefield, and the remaining troops will immediately march towards Taiyuan City, preparing to encircle Taiyuan and carry out siege battles" Watching more than 3,000 little devils finally be completely wiped out. Although the cost and time of the whole battle were much more than I expected. However, after all, it was a field wing of the army that was completely annihilated, and the face of the division commander Liu Hua still showed a trace of excitement. Facing the two brigade commanders beside him, he began to issue new combat orders, and at this time, the siege of Taiyuan City could be regarded as a real start.
