The soldiers of the 5th Column, the Tank Regiment and the Mechanized Infantry Regiment, after completely annihilating the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Combat Vehicle, did not have time to rest, they received an order from the column headquarters to continue to advance and attack the 79th Brigade of the Little Devil Reading Force.

The 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Combat Vehicle, whether it is the comrades of the tank regiment or the soldiers of the mechanized infantry regiment, the morale is high.

As soon as they received the order, everyone made only a simple addition, immediately started the chariot, and marched forward.

Xie Zhendong, the commander of the 5th Column, also rushed over in an armored command vehicle at this time, and Xie Zhendong, who rushed over, happened to see the figure of the chariot in the distance in front of him, and saw everyone rushing to the little devil to read the power and mix into the 79th Brigade, Xie Zhendong's face showed a look of expectation.

Seeing the soldiers of the tank regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment gradually moving away, Xie Zhendong looked around the huge battlefield that had not yet had time to be cleaned, and the flat ground was full of wreckage of the little devil chariot.

Behind him, two motorized infantry regiments were coming in trucks, the convoy that could not be seen at a glance was winding up, and the more than 2,000 cavalry soldiers of the cavalry regiment were also rushing from afar.

Seeing that a large number of his troops were coming one after another, plus the two mechanized infantry regiments and two tank regiments in front, Xie Zhendong was full of confidence in his heart, and thought in his heart, it seems that in a few hours, he will be able to send a good report to the commander-in-chief again, and the little devil's reading power will be mixed with the 79th Brigade and the palm of his hand.

Here, the tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment of the 5th Column are marching against the location where the 79th Brigade is mixed with the little devil Reading Force, and on the other side, the tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment of the 4th Column are also about to reach their destination - Liu Jiaji.

The two tank regiments and two mechanized infantry regiments of the 4th Column, a huge convoy, were slowly approaching Liujiaji, and hundreds of chariots were rumbling in the endless flat field.

As long as the mechanized infantry of the 4th column reaches Liujiaji, the 79th Brigade of the little devil Reading Power will be between the mechanized infantry of the 4th and 5th columns.

The 79th Brigade of the Little Devil is only a foot infantry unit, and its equipment is mainly light weapons, mainly equipped with Type 38 rifles, crooked handle machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns, and a small number of grenadiers and mortars, and only a few armored vehicles in terms of heavy weapons, a dozen small-caliber Type 92 infantry guns and a dozen 37-mm combat defense guns.

Such a level of equipment, if it encounters [***] troops or troops of the Eighth Route Army, it can be called well-equipped, but in front of the mechanized infantry of the 36th Group Army, it is simply several grades behind.

The 79th Brigade of the little devils was moving forward at this time, and at first the little devils heard the faint sound of artillery in front of them, and knew that it was the 1st Brigade of the Tank that was exchanging fire with the 36th Group Army.

Hearing these cannon sounds, the little devils ran forward as if they had been stimulated, but when the little devils ran for a few kilometers, the cannon sound in front of them gradually stopped.

The little devils thought that the 1st Brigade of the Chariot had settled the battle, and the little devils were full of excitement, screaming, and running more happily.

Even the brigade commander of the little devil, Takemori Shoyi, was sitting in his armored command vehicle, closing his eyes and recuperating, but he also imagined in his heart the scene of the end of the battle of the first brigade of the tank.

Suddenly, the radio of the command vehicle flashed, and the little devil's communication corps received a telegram from the Kwantung Army Headquarters. ”

Hearing this, Takemori Zhengyi slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the little devil communication soldier without concealment, at this time, Takemori Zhengyi was dreaming, but was interrupted by the little devil communication soldier, and he was very unhappy.

Feeling Takemori's fierce gaze, the little devil messenger hurriedly lowered his head, and then carefully presented the telegram with both hands.

As soon as he took the telegram, he looked at the contents of the telegram, and Takemori Shoichi's eyes immediately opened round, and he immediately sat up straight, and slowly, his face began to become very ugly.

After reading the telegram, Takemori Shoichi's face was gloomy and he could pinch out the water, and Takemori Shoichi, who was still in heaven, was completely sent back to hell by this telegram at this time.

The 1st Brigade of Tanks was wiped out? Own troops retreat 50 km?

The words on the telegram pierced Takemori Masaiichi in a daze, and his originally ruddy face gradually became blue and gloomy, very ugly, very terrifying.

Originally, he was still full of interest and excitement, fantasizing about striking a good blow to the 36th Group Army, but at this time, it seemed that he was splashed hard by a scoop of cold water, and his mood dropped directly to the freezing point.

Takemori is looking outside again and again, with an excited face, screaming, and the little devils who run violently, Takemori is feeling that God has made a joke with himself, making himself feel ashamed.

Putting down the telegram, Takemori immediately shouted sharply: "Stop marching forward, immediately retreat, retreat 50 kilometers, quickly!" Hurry up and drop! ”

Several little devil communication soldiers next to him, seeing Takemori Zhengyi's terrible face, did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately conveyed the order to retreat to all wings and brigades.

After receiving the order, the little devils were all blank, retreating at this time, is it a joke, a few kilometers further to reach the position of the first brigade of the tank.

Many little devils wondered in their hearts, slowing down their pace and looking around, the little devils couldn't accept the order to retreat suddenly, and they still immediately retreated 50 kilometers.

Some little devil officers, when they received such an order, couldn't understand in their hearts, and they didn't know how the brigade commander could suddenly give such an order at this time.

Only a few little devil officers may vaguely guess what is going on, at this time hurriedly retreated, the first brigade of the tank may have encountered an accident, the front of the 36th Army of this unit not only wiped out the first brigade of the tank, and this force is also very strong, so strong that their own brigade can not compete, so the brigade commander ordered everyone to retreat urgently.

Thinking of this, these little devil officers were shocked in their hearts, and their faces, which were still smiling and excited, instantly became very ugly, much more ugly than crying.

Takemori Shoichi, who was in the armored command vehicle, saw that the little devils around him were still hesitating about his orders, and couldn't help but be furious, hurriedly got out of the car, raised his command knife, and shouted: "Yaga! Hurry up and stop moving forward, and retreat immediately, quickly! Retreat now! ”

Many of the little devils next to him, when they saw their brigade commander shouting there in person, they all looked at each other, their hearts tightened, and they immediately stopped in a hurry, preparing to retreat.

Some little devil officers, seeing Takemori Shoichi's appearance, thought to themselves, sure enough, their guess was correct, and the first brigade of the tank had already suffered an accident.

With Takemori Shoichi's personal order, many little devil officers also began to reprimand their troops sharply, ordering the little devils to retreat quickly, and it didn't take long for the little devils to start preparing to retreat in a hurry.

Seeing that his troops had begun to retreat, Takemori was a little relieved and prepared to climb into his armored command vehicle so that he could retreat with the large army.

But when Takemori Shoichi had just held the car door with his hand, and before he could bend down to get into the car, a little devil cavalry messenger hurriedly ran over, looking anxious.

This little devil communication soldier, when he saw Takemori Zhengichi, immediately turned over and dismounted, and didn't even bother to salute, but hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the chariot unit of the 36th Group Army has already chased after us, and it is less than 4 kilometers away from our nearest unit. ”

What the? The chariot units of the 36th Army came over so quickly.

Hearing this, Takemori Zhengyi's face was obviously a little darker, and he slapped the little devil communication soldier fiercely, and shouted: "Baga! What was the specifics of the tank units of the 36th Army? How many combat vehicles are there? ”

The little devil communication soldier only felt that his face was hot and painful, but he didn't dare to cover his face, so he had to bow his head, bend down and salute, and said very respectfully: "Hi! Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there are at least several hundred tanks of the Thirty-sixth Army, and they are overwhelmingly coming straight for us. ”

After listening to the report of the little devil communication soldier, Takemori was a little dazed in his heart, and he couldn't accept such a reality for a while, hundreds of combat vehicles, what kind of scale was that.

Takemori muttered a few times in a distraction, and then immediately ordered: "Order the first infantry brigade to be responsible for blocking the attack, all our battle defense artillery will be given to the first brigade, and the rest of the troops will retreat quickly." ”

After speaking, Takemori Zhengyi hurriedly got into his armored command car, and then ordered the little devil driver to drive quickly, as fast as he could.

After getting into the car, Takemori Shoichi was still not at ease, and sent another telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, asking for tactical guidance, which was the first telegram asking for tactical guidance since Takemori Shoichi entered the Chinese war.

The little devils retreated in a panic, and the first infantry brigade that was responsible for the blocking task, a total of more than 1,200 people, with more than a dozen battle defense guns, stayed behind and was hurriedly making preparations.

When the little devils were hurriedly retreating, the mechanized troops of the 4th column were galloping, at an off-road speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour, heading straight for the little devils.

The mighty chariot, stretching two kilometers wide, kicked up the dust in the sky, and was magnificent. Many little devils, seeing so many chariots, are nervous, especially those who are responsible for sniping.
