At three o'clock in the afternoon of the 3rd, the news from Huer's side also came quickly that he had arrived in Yantai.

The entire Yantai area, including Laizhou, Zhaoyuan, Longkou, Laiyang, Qixia, Penglai and other places, gathered a wing of the Fifth Division, which was the 42nd Wing, and the wing leader was the Dachang Siping who was injured by the train shelling. After being seriously injured, he has recovered more than half of his injuries and is recuperating in Yantai. Hearing that the vanguard army had arrived in Laiyang, he received a telegram from Seishiro Itagaki and hurriedly gathered people to prepare to organize a defensive position near Yantai Harbor, striving to evacuate the expatriates and some supplies first.

However, this time the vanguard army was an armored assault operation, and before he had prepared a defensive line, the first tank had already rushed into the Zhifu area.

"We're finally faster than those winged ones this time!" Wu Sanshan spit out the dust in his mouth and said with a smile. This time he specially chose this BT-7 tank, this guy is fast, as long as there is a stone slab bridge on the top of the general small ditch, you can quickly pass through it with a support. There was almost no pause along the way, and with the auxiliary fuel tank he carried, he ran directly from the edge of the Weihe River to Yantai in one breath.

"Lao Tzu must break the fast first!" Wu Sanshan smiled, and ordered that the sack fortifications blocked at the street entrance were a cannon, and although the BT-7's 45mm gun could not deal with tank armor, it could still be named one by one against the fortifications temporarily erected by the devils.

"Knock out that tank for me!" Squadron Commander Sang Zhikou shouted loudly, he had experienced the battle against the Vanguard Army, but it was the first time he encountered the tanks of the Pioneer Army. His squadron was trained in anti-tank and prepared to deal with Soviet Russia, but he did not expect to use it in Huaxia.

The infantry guns of their brigade were placed on the other side and did not have time to push over. A three-person death squad lurked against the surrounding buildings with cluster grenades.

With a burst of machine gun fire, the three devils who pounced were swept into several pieces by the machine guns. The cluster grenade in the arms of one of the devils had already been pulled apart and exploded directly not far from Wu Sanshan's tank. Wu Sanshan was defenseless and hit his head on the baffle in front of him, and the blood that flowed out immediately blurred his left eye.

"Watch behind you!" Wang Zhongfa's team chased after him in a BT-7.

"Another one?" Changsang exclaimed.

Before he could finish speaking, a third BT-7 appeared in front of the blocking position.

"Quickly notify the brigade to send an anti-tank platoon to guide!" Changsang had already concluded that these three tanks were not something that his squadron could stop. In the brigade was a 33-man anti-tank platoon sent by the wing.

"Boom!" A fourth tank also appeared, a BT-7A armed with a 76.2 mm regimental howitzer. The appearance was a direct bombardment of the past, scattering a sack fortification that was blocking the way.

"Cooperate in pairs, take care of the front and back. Walk! Wu Sanshan, who had already bandaged his forehead, ordered, although the newly installed radio communicator in the car took up space, it was very convenient to communicate with each other.

Four tanks rushed towards the street entrance together.

The simple temporary fortifications were pushed away by the tank at once, and the barbed wire laid could not trip the tracks of the tank, and was run over one by one, and the wires stirred in the tracks were also pulled and broken.

"Be careful!" Liu Changyou's shout was heard in his ears, followed by a burst of machine gun fire, and a devil rolled down from the top of the tank. The cluster grenade he was holding in his hand was crushed under him and exploded violently, causing Wu Sanshan's tank to also slam into shock.

"Don't stop, get through fast!" Wu Sanshan shouted, he knew that fighting in the streets, the devils who rushed out of the surrounding buildings from time to time were likely to make the tank suffer a big loss. The devil just now jumped down from the roof with a grenade, if it weren't for Liu Changyou's quick eyes behind him, he was afraid that his tank would be blown up.

The two tanks were side by side, one of them was on one side, and the two behind followed, as long as the suspicious windows and openings were swept by a machine gun first, there was no hesitation at this time.

The short street is not counted, and it will not take long to pass, but the tank of Liu Changyou's group behind was damaged by the devil's explosives at the corner of the street.

"They're all sacrificed, and I'm dying, so let's go first!" Liu Changyou shouted, the other two fighters in the car were already out of breath, and he also suffered some minor injuries to the chest.

"Bullshit, we're leaving, you're here to target the devil!" A street that is not very long makes Wu Sanshan a little aggrieved, he has heard that tanks are not suitable for this occasion, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

"I'll teach them a lesson when they come and get me! I can exchange dozens of them alone! Liu Changyou couldn't help but think of a few months ago.

At that time, he and Wang Leehom were still in the armored regiment of the Central Army.

In the battle of the defense of Nanjing, their tank battle with the devils was destroyed and left on the battlefield. The others were forced by the devils and had no choice but to retreat. In their car, the two of them were still alive, but the tank could no longer move.

The devil infantry behind had already followed. At that time, both of them were determined to "live and die with the chariot", and lay in ambush in the chariot, waiting for the opportunity to strike the enemy.

The first-line troops of the devils did not clean the battlefield and search the chariots, so they rashly drove straight into Nanjing and drove directly to Nanjing. The two of them hid until after 4 p.m., when they finally saw another large group of infantry coming. Here's the best chance to snipe devils!

At that time, Wang Lihong shouted like this.

"Fuck, I'll give you dozens of you one by one!" As he shouted, he grabbed his machine gun and stretched out from the front of the turret of the chariot to shoot, and Liu Changyou also followed closely behind another machine gun and fired fiercely. Under the sudden attack, the unprepared Yu Kou was beaten, and in an instant, dozens of vicious devil soldiers lay on the ground.

Fight until dusk.

"That's enough! Remove! Wang Lihong and Wei Luming looked at each other and laughed.

But on the way, Wang Lihong was unfortunately killed by a mortar shot, and Wei Luming was injured and returned to the team to report the incident to Du Yuming. But Du Yuming didn't believe it, and he was a little sad that during his recuperation, he was pulled by his former teammates and just came to the vanguard not long ago.

Today, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but think of Wang Leehom's words again. He couldn't help but shout again: "I will live and die with the chariot!" ”

"Are you stupid with a blown brain, how much is the life of a little devil worth? And to live and die with the chariot? Is a tank worth or is a human life worth it? Chariots are dead, people are alive! Just go back and change the chariot, and come back to kill a few more devils to make up for the credit. Wu Sanshan also understands the mood of this pioneer army recruit, in the past, large items such as tanks in the Central Army would rather give up people than equipment. When the equipment is lost, people can live and die together to realize that they have worked hard. Not only tanks, but also the heavy machine guns in their battalion were also equipment that the battalion commander repeatedly explained that they had to save their lives.

As he spoke, Wu Sanshan and the other three tanks had already reversed, and had already knocked down four or five devils with machine guns.

The two tanks protected the front of Wei Luming's tank, and kept shooting at the door or window that might be threatening with machine guns, and the Tiger 315 immediately jumped out of the tank, and soon carried Wei Luming back to Wu Sanshan's tank.

"Our vanguard army has no precedent of being left behind by our comrades, how can it start from me?" Wu Sanshan let go of a clearing in the narrow space and said with a smile.

"The tank?" Wei Luming clutched his chest and said hard.

"Just leave it there first, and when we kill all the devils here, it's still ours." Wu Sanshan said confidently.

"...... we go next?"

"Keep the assault! Capture the port! Wu Sanshan pointed forward, and the Tiger 315 immediately started the tank.

The two tanks followed closely, none of them thought about whether the three tanks could occupy the port, all they had to do was to do what the tanks needed to do as Meng Xiang advocated in the teaching class: "Forward, forward, keep going!" ”

"They rushed through our defenses!" Changsang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the smoke and dust in the distance, the battle just now had already destroyed half of his squadron.

"Another tank!" One of the devils pointed in the direction of the street in front of them, and a larger tank appeared in front of them.

"This time, you won't be able to run." Changsang waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers of the anti-tank platoon behind him appeared in front of the position pushing a 37 anti-tank gun, although another anti-tank gun was deployed in another block, but this one was enough to deal with this tank.

The tank that had just turned the corner spotted them, and the muzzle shift slowly pointed at them.

"Boom" The prepared devils fired first.

"Roar!" Changsang, who was born in artillery, knew at a glance that the skills of those devil veterans were very good, and the shell just now directly hit the tank more than 300 meters away.

There was a loud metal crash, and everyone who looked at the tank was stunned, and the tank stayed there intact, as if the shell had not hit it just now. As if to confirm that it was okay, the tank shook its body and took a few more steps forward, and the muzzle of the black hole in front of it was aimed at Changsang and them again.

"Get out of the way!" Changsang shouted, taking a few steps to the side and falling down.

With a loud "boom", the muzzle of the tank's at least 75 mm tank gun was already spewing flames, and a high-explosive shell exploded at the anti-tank gun. Immediately, the scattered brackets of the 37-mm anti-tank gun flew into the sky and landed on the roof of a civilian house in the distance.

Changsang shook his dizzy head and wiped the blood on his face, looked at the steel monster that was heading this way, and couldn't help but mourn in his heart.

"Ahh A devil repeated his old plan, threw a cluster grenade from the roof hill and rolled down to the front of the tank, but in the smoke of the explosion, the tank still did not stop, it seemed to only stop for a while, and then continued to move forward, and the two machine guns on the car continued to strafe the devils on both sides.

"What kind of monster is this? How thick is its armor? Changsang dragged his injured leg to crawl to the side, guessing, but there was another same tank at the corner of the street, shooting while driving, several bullets directly penetrated Changsang's upper body, and he didn't know the answer to this tank until he died.

In a two-story building, several devils were guarding the second-floor window, constantly throwing grenades downward. But with the sound of a cannon, more than two dozen tanks came in the distance, which made these devils a little desperate.

"It's hard to get through this block!" Wanzi Lu looked at the block in front of him, "It seems that there is a squadron of devils guarding here, and they are all hiding in the buildings on both sides to sneak attack." ”

Wu Sanshan had already told the tanks behind him about the situation here.

"Boom." Sitting in the T-34/76 tank, Tiger Er said calmly. This time, only three T-34/76 tanks needed to be tested, and the rest were the BT-7, which had a more advantageous surname and price ratio.

After a round of high-explosive bombs from more than a dozen tanks in front of the attack, there was no shadow of devils on the entire street.

"Keep going." Hu Er's tone was still flat and pointed ahead, "Target port." ”

"The tanks of the Vanguard Army have arrived at the port!" The adjutant of staff reported urgently.

"What?" Daba Siping was taken aback, and the file bag in his hand fell on the table. More than three hours ago, he had just received the news that the vanguard army had arrived in Laiyang. Now it's in port again.

"How many?"

The adjutant of staff hesitated with a strange expression and replied: "Three tanks!" ”

At this time, Wu Sanshan and their tanks were hiding behind the surrounding buildings. There was a constant roar of cannonballs falling to the ground.

"Damn, so many cannons will hit the three of us!" Wu Sanshan scolded angrily. Participating in the bombardment were not only a few fortress guns on the shore that could be turned in this direction, but also a destroyer parked in the harbor, and the naval guns on it were not small at all.

"That destroyer is the Yakaze of the Navy, and it is one of the Fengfeng-class destroyers." Rat Er explained to Meng Xiang.

The attack on Qingdao was going well, and Meng Xiang couldn't help but turn his attention to the battle of Yantai under the command of Hu Er.

"Hasn't the plane passed yet?" Meng Xiang couldn't help but ask.

In the original plan, the focus of the attack was Qingdao. In addition to the dozen or so planes remaining in the base area, most of the other strength of the flying wing was engaged in the battle to attack Qingdao. The plan at that time was to start with Qingdao and then Yantai, and so did the order of attack of the aircraft wing. Only eight fighters accompanied the tank unit to prevent the attack of the devils from the air on the tanks.

But these fighters clearly have little to do against attacking fortresses and ships.

"The tank troops are attacking too fast!" Rat Er said lightly.

No one expected that the assault on Yantai would be so smooth, easily bypassing from Laiyang and other county seats, and rushing all the way to Yantai Port like a fast car.
