Chapter 433: Tank Battle

The commander of the 1st Tank Regiment saw that many Type 39 tanks of his unit had been shot, and although there was no great damage, he really couldn't stand it.

These Type 39 tanks are so easy to get shot, the main reason is that the fighters don't take the little devil's tanks too seriously, and the fighters are a little underestimated, which is not a good sign.

So, the head of the regiment picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Comrades, don't underestimate the enemy, all kinds of tactical actions must be in place, otherwise you will suffer a big loss." ”

When the soldiers heard their regiment commander shouting in person, their hearts immediately sank, and many soldiers thought that they were really carried away just now.

Immediately, the fighters changed their previous style and became serious, and some Type 39 tanks were driving while observing the tanks of the little devils and avoiding the shelling of the little devils.

The distance between the two sides was several hundred meters, and in an instant, the huge tank groups of the two sides were mixed together, and in a vast land of nearly 10 square kilometers, hundreds of tanks on both sides were completely intertwined.

Around every Type 39 tank of the 36th Group Army, there were quite a few little devil fighting vehicles; Around every little devil's tank, there are also quite a few tanks of the 36th Army.

Tanks on both sides fought in this vast area, and artillery roared.

In such a melee, it was obvious that the Type 39 tank had the upper hand, and the Type 39 tank's 360-degree rotating turret showed its might and took advantage of it in this tank battle.

A Type 39 tank numbered "0512" maneuvered at high speed while aiming at a small Devil Type 97 medium tank on its side. I saw that the 360-degree turret of this tank was easily rotated at an angle, and the thick muzzle was aimed at this little devil tank.

More than 100 meters away, the little devil tank apparently also found itself being targeted, and was reversing, trying to turn the tank body at an angle so that it could aim at the two Type 39 tanks and return fire.

The turret of the Little Devil Tank is a fixed turret, and the angle at which the barrel can rotate is limited, so it is impossible to aim at the Type 39 tank on his side.

The driver of the "0512" Type 39 tank, seeing that the little devil tank was busy there, couldn't help but laugh in his heart, how can the little devil's tank have this design, or his own Type 39 tank.

The gunner of the "0512" Type 39 tank, seeing that he had completely aimed at this little devil tank, immediately opened fire decisively, and with a loud "boom", the little devil's tank suddenly turned into a pile of scrap metal.

This scene just now happened to be seen by the commander of the little devil brigade, and the commander of the little devil brigade has actually seen such a situation more than once, and now, thirty or forty tanks of the little devil have been destroyed.

The commander of the Little Devil Brigade did not expect that the tank turret of the 36th Army could rotate almost 360 degrees, which was unimaginable.

Now, nearly half an hour has passed since the two sides fought, and the commander of the Little Devil Brigade finally has a general understanding of the tanks of the 36th Army.

In the understanding of the commander of the Little Devil Brigade, the tanks of the 36th Army are not only thickly armored and can basically defend against the 37 mm guns of their own tanks, but also the main guns of the tanks are thick, at least 70 mm, and even the turret can be rotated.

This is the commander of the little devil brigade has a general understanding of the tanks of the 36th Group Army, and the commander of the little devil brigade can't help but feel discouraged when he thinks about the tanks he is equipped with.

When the commander of the Little Devil Brigade saw that several of his tanks had been destroyed, and so far the tanks of the 36th Army had almost no losses, only two of the tanks had broken side tracks, and they needed to be replaced with spare tracks.

Looking at the huge battlefield, the tanks of both sides were fighting fiercely, and the little devil brigade commander thought that he didn't know if he could withdraw from the battle now, and if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that his brigade would be wiped out.

No, no matter what, we still have to retreat, and we will join the 79th Brigade with the reading force in the back, and it may be better for the two troops to meet together, and in addition, we need to request air support.

As long as their own troops and the 36th Army were out of battle, the arriving planes could strike at the tanks of the 36th Army.

Thinking of this, the commander of the Little Devil Brigade, Takahashi Toji, immediately ordered the flag soldiers to play the flag, ordered all the little devils to retreat, retreat in the direction of Huludao, and join the 79th Brigade of Reading Force.

When the little devil flag soldier played the flag, there were still a lot of little devils who saw it, but now the battlefield of the fierce battle between the two sides has been very large, and if the flag soldier transmits the signal, he is afraid that it will take a process, at least after a while, and the little devils will know the order to retreat.

The fighters of the 5th column, two tank regiments, at this time, have destroyed dozens of chariots of the little devils, and the number of chariots destroyed accounts for nearly one-third of the total number of chariots of the little devils.

Suddenly, many fighters found that the little devil's tanks and armored vehicles, despite returning fire, accelerated in one direction and fled, and the little devils wanted to escape.

Seeing this situation, many soldiers knew that the little devils saw that the situation was not right, and they wanted to flee back.

"Comrades, the little devil wants to escape, everyone hurry up and attack!"

Almost all the fighters immediately intensified their attacks, and the soldiers who were still fighting with the little devils immediately rampage against the little devil's chariot, just hoping to destroy the little devil's chariot as soon as possible.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sound of artillery came and went on the battlefield, the chariots of the little devils were constantly destroyed, and the battlefield was full of piles of wreckage of the destroyed chariots, some of which were still burning, emitting thick black smoke.

In the tank battle between the two sides, the exchange of fire was tight for thirty or forty minutes, and the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Tank could not hold on, and the Little Devil thought of retreating.

In the distance, some soldiers of the mechanized infantry regiment who were watching the battle saw that the little devils began to flee, and the comrades of the tank regiment won a complete victory, destroying a large number of tanks, and everyone gave bursts of applause.

At this time, on the battlefield, there was also a situation of running and chasing and fighting.

About ten minutes later, the little devil got more and more chariots, got the order to retreat, and accelerated to flee back. The comrades of the tank regiment, seeing that the little devil was fleeing, immediately increased their horsepower and began to pursue.

Originally, the cross-country ability and cross-country speed of the Type 39 tank were much higher than that of the little devil's tank, but the soldiers had to keep aiming at the little devil's tank and keep firing guns, which delayed a lot of time.

The little devil also had some chariots, which stayed to serve as a blocking mission, which bought time for the little devil's large army to escape, and slowed down everyone's pursuit speed to a certain extent.

After everyone pursued for a few kilometers, the chariot army of the little devils gradually distanced themselves from the fighters of the tank regiment.

Although the two sides gradually opened up a little distance, the more than 20 tanks that the little devil was responsible for blocking the task had basically lost most of them at this time, and many Type 39 tanks did not pay attention to the remaining few little devil tanks, but increased their horsepower and pursued forward.

The fighters only left a tank company to deal with the remaining tanks of the little devils, and these remaining tanks did not last long, and they were all destroyed by the fighters, one of which was a Type 92 light tank, which was directly destroyed.

A Type 39 tank, seeing that this little devil's Type 92 light tank, was not far from him, so this Type 39 tank increased its horsepower and hit it hard.

The two tanks collided, only to see a muffled "bang", at this time, the law of conservation of momentum is vividly embodied, this Type 39 tank weighs 32 tons, and the skin is thick and thick.

The Type 92 light tank of the little devil weighed only a few tons, and the two tanks collided, and the little devil's tank was knocked out a few meters away, and after rolling on the ground a few times, the chassis was facing the sky, seriously deformed, and emitting black smoke, which was obviously reimbursed.

And this Type 39 tank is not a big deal, several fighters in the tank only felt that the tank shook violently, and it didn't take long for the tank to return to normal.

The brigade commander of the little devil saw that nearly half of his tanks had finally broken away from the entanglement of the tanks of the 36th Group Army, and the distance between him and the tank group of the 36th Army was several hundred meters.

Seeing this situation, the commander of the little devil brigade felt a little better in his heart, just now, the two sides were fighting, and seeing his tank slaughtered by the tanks of the 36th Group Army, the commander of the little devil brigade was dripping blood in his heart.

I hope that the 20 or so tanks left behind can play a role in blocking the attack, and as long as they can delay the tanks of the 36th Army for a few minutes, their tank group will be completely out of the range of artillery fire threat of the tanks of the 36th Army.

While thinking, the commander of the little devil brigade looked at the situation outside the armored command vehicle from time to time, and saw that his outside was full of his own chariots, and there was almost no shadow of a chariot of the 36th Group Army, and the commander of the little devil brigade secretly sighed.

But the good times didn't last long, and within two minutes, a little devil soldier pointed out the car and said anxiously: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, look over there." ”

Looking in the direction pointed by this little devil, the pupils of the little devil brigade commander constricted, and when he saw a scene of disbelief, how could a large number of chariots appear in front of him.

Seeing this scene, the commander of the little devil brigade turned pale, and thought to himself, how could he be so unlucky today, seeing that he could get rid of the pursuers, how could he encounter such an interception of a chariot at this critical time.

The direction of retreat has been sealed, and I am still retreating there!
