Zhang Yunfei's voice was clear and serious.

"Command! The 5th Column took the initiative to attack the vanguard of the little devils, and in addition, the 4th Column's tank regiment, mechanized infantry regiment and cavalry regiment immediately set off and moved between Wanjia Town and Huludao, waiting for an opportunity to find fighters. ”

After Zhang Yunfei conveyed the order, his face was also solemn.

The people in the command headquarters saw that Zhang Yunfei had conveyed the order, and they immediately knew Zhang Yunfei's tactical purpose.

The 5th Column, which took the initiative to attack, was the main force of the vanguard of annihilating the little devils, and the troops of the 4th Column that moved to the area between Wanjia Town and Huludao were also a bright spot.

The tank regiment, mechanized infantry regiment and cavalry regiment of the 4th column in this position, if they go to the direction of Qinhuangdao, they can flank the vanguard of the little devils together with the 5th column, and if they attack in the direction of Huludao, they can block the large army of the little devils and win time for the 5th column.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Several high-ranking members of the 36th Group Army thought in their hearts that the commander-in-chief's tactical command was becoming more and more superb, and if it were himself, he would not have thought of this move at all.

This time, Zhang Yunfei mobilized the tank regiment, mechanized infantry regiment and cavalry regiment of the 4th Column to participate in the battle, and he also completely took a fancy to the mobile surname of these troops, and in such a flat place, these troops were completely like fish in the sea.

Because these troops are very mobile, if they win the battle, they can hit the little devils hard, and if they can't win, they can also retreat calmly, and the little devils will not be able to pursue them ironclad.

It didn't take long for Zhang Yunfei's order to reach all participating troops......

Wanjia Town.

Xie Zhendong, the commander of the 5th Column who got the order, was very happy in his heart, with a slight joy on his face, Xie Zhendong had already planned to take the initiative to attack when he saw such a flat terrain, and now as soon as he got Zhang Yunfei's order, how unhappy Xie Zhendong was in his heart.

The high-spirited Xie Zhendong immediately said loudly: "Pass my order, the first and second tank regiments, the first and second mechanized infantry regiments, and the cavalry regiment directly under the column will immediately attack forward and have a big showdown with the first brigade of the little devil's chariot." In addition, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments followed Quanjin by truck and participated in the battle. ”

The 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments of the 5th Column are motorized infantry, which belongs to motorized infantry and is no longer the former foot infantry.

These two regiments can take a truck, maneuver out of the range of the opponent's small-caliber artillery, usually 3 to 5 kilometers away, get out of the vehicle and then enter the starting position of the attack, and then hide the car in the rear, and at the end of the battle, return or continue to move forward by car.

This time, it was a coordinated operation between mechanized infantry and motorized infantry, the object of mechanized infantry was mainly the 1st Brigade of the Combat Vehicle of the Little Devils, and the combat objects of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments were the 79th Brigade of the mixed Devils, and if necessary, they cooperated with the mechanized infantry regiment or tank regiment.

With the order of the commander of the 5th column, a large number of troops immediately moved and marched in the direction of the little devil.

Two tank regiments, two mechanized infantry regiments, plus two motorized infantry regiments, hundreds of combat vehicles and trucks, pulled into a line two or three kilometers wide, kicked up billowing dust, and rushed straight to the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Combat Vehicle.

At the front of the team was the 5th Column Tank Regiment, although the 1st Tank Regiment was not fully staffed, but there were also more than 60 Type 39 tanks and 30 Type 39 armored personnel carriers.

Nearly 100 combat vehicles of the first tank regiment took the lead and traveled at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour.

Commander Ye of the First Tank Regiment, sitting in an armored command vehicle, looking at the huge troops around him, was full of pride in his heart, Commander Ye already knew that the first brigade of the little devil's tank was dozens of kilometers in front of him, and this time, he must meet the little devil's tank brigade well.

Like Commander Ye, many soldiers, looking at the vast and flat plain, thinking that they would soon be able to fight the chariot brigade of the little devils, and the soldiers were full of anticipation.

There were several soldiers, who were turning on the inter-vehicle radio communication system at this time, chatting happily, without any pre-war tension and anxiety.

"Platoon commander, did you say that the 1st Brigade of the little devil's tank is still equipped with those Peew tanks this time?"

As soon as the soldier's voice fell, his platoon commander's voice immediately came from the earphones: "Xiao Liu, according to intelligence, this little devil's first tank brigade is mainly equipped with Type 97 medium tanks, and there are relatively few Type 92 Douding tanks, in addition to some armored vehicles. ”

Everyone is familiar with the Type 92 tank and armored vehicles of the little devil, but for the Type 97 medium tank, many fighters still don't know much about it, and this soldier named Xiao Liu is the same.

As soon as Xiao Liu heard what his platoon commander said, he immediately asked curiously: "Platoon commander, it's really the first time we've heard of the little devil's Type 97 medium tank, can you give us a good introduction?" ”

Hearing this, the platoon commander immediately came up with some parameters of the Little Devil Type 97 medium tank.

The Type 97 medium tank is also known as the Type 97 light tank. Combat weight: 7.4t, hull front armor thickness: 12mm, turret front armor thickness: 16mm, hull side armor thickness: 12mm, turret side armor thickness: 16mm, armor type: alloy armor, structure: welded, speed: 50km/h; Cruising range: 300km; Engine: 130 hp 100 Type 4-stroke 6-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine; Main gun: Type 100 37mm tank gun; Crew: 3.

Thinking of these parameters, the platoon commander introduced the surname and parameters of the Little Devil Type 97 medium tank in detail through the inter-vehicle radio communication system.

After listening to the introduction of their platoon commander, everyone thought about the surname energy parameters of their Type 39 tank, and their hearts were suddenly full of confidence, and the Type 39 tank driven by the soldiers was higher than the Type 97 medium tank of the little devil in terms of surname ability, not to mention a big victory.

Many soldiers, while driving their tanks at a gallop forward, involuntarily remembered the surname of their tanks.

The Type 39 tank weighs 32 tons, has a crew of 4 people, the main weapon is a 75 mm smoothbore gun, 70 rounds of ammunition, the maximum range is 5,000 meters, the secondary weapon is a 12.7 mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun, water-cooled diesel engine, power 360 kilowatts, maximum travel speed of 55 kilometers per hour, maximum travel of 450 kilometers, 0.75 meters high through obstacles, 2.49 meters wide over the trench, 30 degrees of climbing, armor thickness 18-60 mm, and also inclined armor.

Look at your own tank, and think about the little devil's tank, although everyone has basically never seen the little devil's Type 97 medium tank, but everyone is already relaxed in their hearts, and they feel that the little devil's tank should not be difficult to deal with.

"Platoon commander, the little devil's tank weighs only 7.2 tons, and the armor thickness is only 12 to 16 millimeters, so light and thin, I think our tanks can flatten it."

Hearing this, the platoon commander scolded with a smile: "Xiao Liu, you don't make good use of the good 75mm main gun, but you are going to hit the little devil's tank, let me tell you, if our tank is damaged, I will settle accounts with you." ”

Xiao Liu said curtly: "Platoon leader, talking about playing, talking about playing, don't take it seriously!" ”

When everyone saw Xiao Liu say this, they immediately burst into laughter.

Seeing everyone laughing, the platoon commander couldn't help but smile slightly, and scolded with a smile in his heart, what a bunch of rabbit cubs.

As soon as everyone's laughter stopped, the platoon commander jokingly said again: "Xiao Liu, your idea is a good idea, you can give it a try later, and see if you can flatten the little devil's tank." ”

Seeing that his platoon commander allowed to hit the little devil's tank, Xiao Liu was immediately overjoyed and said in surprise: "Really! Platoon commander, then I'm really going to give it a try. ”

The platoon commander did not answer, but looked intently ahead, and now that he was getting closer and closer to the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Tank, the platoon commander's expectations were even stronger.

At this time, the front of the 5th Column Tank Regiment was about thirty or forty kilometers.

Major General Takahashi Toji, the commander of the 1st Tank Brigade of the little devil, was closing his eyes in his armored command vehicle, and as the commander of the 1st Tank Brigade, Major General Takahashi Fujiji was still quite arrogant in his heart.

Although, at this time, Takahashi Fujiji looks relatively calm on the surface, but there is also a faint expectation in his heart.

The 1st Tank Brigade belonged to the Kwantung Army, and although it had not fought against the tank units of the 36th Army, Takahashi Fujiji had long heard about the achievements of the 36th Army.

Takahashi Fujiji also knew that the 36th Group Army was equipped with a large number of tanks, although he did not know the specific surname of this tank, but the intelligence said that the surname of the 36th Army's tanks was excellent, and the surname was not under its own Type 97 medium tank.

It had been a long time since Takahashi had commanded a large-scale tank battle, and in Takahashi's heart, he hoped to meet the tank units of the 36th Army this time.

Takahashi Toji hoped that his tank brigade would have a good meeting with the tank troops of the 36th Group Army, and if he could defeat the tank troops of the 36th Group Army, it would be even more arrogant.

As for whether it will fail, Takahashi Fujiji did not think about how such a large team could fail with nearly 100 Type 97 medium tanks in the 1st Tank Brigade, in addition to dozens of Type 92 light tanks and dozens of armored vehicles.

What's more, not far behind his own team, there is the 79th Brigade Regiment mixed with Reading Power, and further back, in Jinzhou, there are three huge divisions, one of which has already left Jinzhou City.

How could such a huge force be defeated, Takahashi Fujiji didn't think about it at all.

Toji Takahashi is too arrogant and arrogant
