What Lieutenant General He Zhiying, who had been prepared for the worst, did not expect was that the anti-United Nations tank troops that came out from behind him quickly passed through the line of Nankou and Changping, which had been formed by the independent mixed Eighth Brigade, and only part of the infantry was left to build the line of Nankou and Changping, but they did not pay attention to him at all.

It was just a detachment of troops, cooperating with the frontal troops, defeating the independent mixed 8th Brigade of Sanjiadian, and after completely opening the southward passage, they killed all the way south at maximum speed. Even passing through Fangshan, where his division headquarters was located, he didn't look at his 110th Division.

The confrontation alliance did not care about itself, only beat its own baggage troops to a pulp, and then quickly went south. It's like a person who has been flooded and is about to go to the top of the world, and at the same time he is happy to return to the world. He didn't dare to stay in Fangshan and Lieutenant General Zhiying 2, so he quickly moved his division headquarters back to Beiping City at the first time.

Compared with the fortunate He Zhiying Er, who watched the powerful tank column of the Anti-Japanese Union on the outer city wall of Beiping, he quickly moved south under his nose. It was not until all the troops of the Anti-Japanese Union had moved south that Okamura Ninji, who put down the high-powered telescope in his hand, was relatively speechless with Lieutenant General Miharu Ojodo, chief of staff, and a group of senior operational staff officers of the North China Front.

Looking at the swagger, from the direction of the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace outside the western city wall of Beiping, the anti-United Nations tank cluster passed for most of the day. At the same time, Okamura Ninji, who received the same report from the northeast direction of Hei, finally understood the source of the faint uneasiness in his heart. When the roundabout interspersed cluster between the east and west lines officially started, he also knew the true strategic intention of the Anti-United Nations.

Although he still had a division and several tank wing reserves in his hands, Okamura still felt that the situation in front of him was beyond his control. No matter where such a large group of anti-United Nations tank clusters are really targeted, I am afraid that they cannot be handled by the North China Front alone.

The anti-United Nations tank troops in front of him that could not be seen made Okamura Ningji sigh at the same time, and at the same time, the cool breeze was constantly swishing behind him. He knew very well the consequences of these tanks once they broke through to the Jizhong Plain south of Beiping, and all the troops of the entire North China Front Army on the Pingjin front line would probably be wrapped in dumplings. Once these tanks are allowed to break through to the Jizhong Plain, then for the North China Front, the whole situation of the war will collapse.

Returning to the North China Front Headquarters, the first thing Okamura Ninji did was to ask for help from the base camp and Nanjing. On the telegram, Okamura Ninji clearly told the base camp that it was necessary to provide reinforcements of at least three divisions and regiments for the North China Front in a short period of time, otherwise the entire war situation in Hebei and Shanxi would collapse completely.

After asking for reinforcements from the emergency base camp, Okamura Ninji gave an order to the 110th Division. Let him immediately get rid of the entanglement of his opponent and shrink all the forces in his hands back. Stick to the line from Wanping to Fangshan, cut off the back road of the anti-union west cluster, and at the same time ensure the safety of the southwest of Beiping City.

The main force of the 27th Division was ordered to block the gap in the east at all costs that had been opened by the Anti-Japanese Union. The 59th Division was ordered to leave one division and cooperate with two tank wings to counterattack Tongzhou with all its might. With the strength of no less than one wing, we will move in the direction of Wuqing with all our strength to reinforce the Wuqing battlefield.

Regardless of the anti-union tank cluster attacking from the direction of Miyun, their target is there, as long as it is not Beiping City, Wuqing is the throat place. As long as they hold Wuqing, no matter which direction they attack, at least it will not be so smooth. At least find reinforcements for yourself and buy some time.

However, Okamura Ninji's order to the 59th Division had not yet had time to be issued. The 59th Division on the Tongzhou side had already called to report. The 59th Division failed to reinforce Tongzhou, and the main force of the division was already entangled by a reinforced division of the Anti-Japanese Union. The two tank wings were destroyed in a fierce battle with enemy tanks.

After receiving the report of the 59th Division, Okamura Ninji couldn't help but be stunned. Two tank wings, more than 100 tanks, were all destroyed, which made him hardly believe his eyes. Except for some of these tanks, which were Type 97 tanks, all the rest were the latest models of the Imperial Army tanks, and all of them were destroyed in such a short period of time.

Although Okamura Ninji was different from other high-ranking officers in the Japanese Army, he did not regard equipment as more important than the lives of soldiers. For him, since the equipment has been researched, it is to be used on the battlefield. But in such a short period of time, he lost more than 100 vehicles at once, which also made him at a loss for the battle situation, which was quite painful.

Compared with Okamura Ningji's physical pain, Wang Minggui, the front-line commander of the Anti-Japanese Federation opposite him, is also in physical pain. In a tank melee in the north of Tongzhou, almost all of the two independent tank regiments assigned to him were also disabled. Of the 180 tanks, 110 were destroyed or damaged.

In this tank battle, the Anti-United Tank was invested in two T 34 tank regiments. Because the British infantry tanks had poor cross-country ability, the speed of action at twenty kilometers was too slow. In this southward operation, all the British tanks were left in the northeast to fight, and the investment was basically German tanks and American-made light tanks.

These two independent tank regiments mixed with T 34 tanks are the only two regiments on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese Union in Guannei, except for one company of BT tanks each as reconnaissance, all of them are T 34 tanks as the main force. And these two regiments are also the first batch of regiments to be equipped with T 34 tanks after the mass production of anti-union tanks in the second half of 43 years.

In order to rescue Tongzhou, the 59th Division and its subordinate units made considerable efforts. As soon as the two armies came into contact, they threw in all two tank wings to charge the tank units of the Anti-United Nations. The situation of the Japanese army in this operation is very clear, that is, it is to use its own tank force to defeat the anti-United Nations tank troops on the front line in Tongzhou.

Facing the cover of the new Type 1 self-propelled artillery, that is, the self-propelled guns using the Type 90 field gun as the main gun, more than 100 Japanese tank units attacked with all their might. Even the number of tanks invested by the Japanese army this time is quite rare. However, the tank troops of the Anti-United Nations did not hesitate at all, and directly met them.

The Japanese army's original equipment of the Type 97 and 97 tanks was already quite familiar to the tank units of the Anti-United Nations. For the weaknesses of these two tanks, the tank units of the Anti-United Nations are no strangers. It turned out that the T three or four tanks that I thought I were equipped with were basically holding the handle against these two tanks.

As a result, I did not expect that this battle was to defeat the two tank wings of the Japanese army, but it was also disabled. Of the more than 140 tanks that were put into the battlefield by the two separate tank regiments, 110 were destroyed or damaged, of which more than 80 were completely destroyed.

This result was not only surprising to Wang Minggui, but even Yang Zhen was surprised. The Japanese army transferred a batch of tanks from the mainland to reinforce the North China Front, and Yang Zhen knew this information. But these tanks should not be the opponents of the T three or four tanks. How could these two tank regiments lose so much in this battle?

Fortunately, Wang Minggui quickly found out the reason, and most of the tanks equipped by the two tank wings invested by the Japanese army in Tongzhou were so-called modified tanks. These tanks were equipped with 50-mm anti-tank guns purchased by the Japanese from Germany, based on improved tank guns.

When these tanks were transferred from the Japanese mainland to the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese kept them strictly secret. From the disembarkation of Qingdao, all the transportation process is extremely confidential. All the railway lines are not stopped, and the tanks are covered with canvas. When arriving in Shijiazhuang and Baoding, all the stations were also outside the city.

All the guards in the surrounding area use the regular Japanese troops, not any puppet troops. Even in order to confuse the intelligence systems of the major base areas in North China, the Japanese army used the old-fashioned Type 97 tanks to constantly make appearances around the garrisons while the new tanks were marching in, and they diverted targets by concealing the sky and crossing the sea.

All Type 1 tanks are not allowed to leave their stations in China after they have arrived at their stations in China. All combat training was conducted in a heavily guarded station. All artillery test firing has been completed on the mainland. During the training at the station, the training method of replacing guns with guns was adopted.

After painstaking calculations, the intelligence officers in the major base areas in North China are not very familiar with tanks. The Japanese army deceived the world and the sea, and it was quite successful. The intelligence personnel in the major base areas in North China thought that the tanks transferred by the Japanese army were all old-fashioned 97 or 97 modified tanks.

When these tanks first appeared on the battlefield, the commanders of the anti-United Nations tank units in the Tongzhou battlefield did not take it seriously at all, and still looked at the problem according to the old vision of dealing with Type 97 tanks in the past. He thought that he had an absolute advantage in the equipment in his hands, and he did not regard these two tank wings of the Japanese army as the same thing at all.

In addition, the training quality of the Japanese armored troops is indeed excellent, as well as the 50 mm thick armor of these Japanese tanks, and the relatively accurate observation and sighting system. The most important thing is that on the battlefield of Tongzhou, the paralyzing carelessness of the commander of the anti-coalition armored corps seems to have successfully achieved the suddenness of the battlefield.

In the first round of engagement, Japanese tanks opened fire at a distance of 500 meters and destroyed more than a dozen T34 tanks. This anti-tank gun, which had initially contained the nightmare of the German T 34 on the Soviet-German battlefield, once again made the T 34 tank suffer a loss on the Chinese battlefield.

The performance of the new tanks of the Japanese army surprised the tank commanders of the Anti-Japanese Union. According to past experience, it was impossible for the Japanese Type 97 tanks to penetrate the T Type 34 tanks at this distance. In the 97 tank sequence, even the latest 97 modified tank is only theoretically possible within 300 meters.

The main armor of such a tank, noticeably improved. The 76-millimeter tank guns equipped with the T 34 tanks of the Anti-United Nations were far more difficult to penetrate this new Japanese tank than the Type 97 tank. With 50 mm of armor and a 176-horsepower diesel engine, the power and protection of this new Japanese tank far exceed that of previous Japanese tanks.

In this battle, the Japanese army can be said to have good intentions and made considerable preparations. In order to cope with the tactics of the T 34 tank of the confrontation alliance, the Japanese specially asked the Germans for the weaknesses of the T 34 tank that the German army had mastered and understood on the Eastern Front. When firing was fired, the first shot was aimed at the most fragile front of the hull of the T34 tank, the huge hatch in and out of the tank.

Although at a distance of 500 meters, the 76 mm tank gun used by the anti-United Nations T 34 tank can indeed destroy the Japanese tank relatively easily. But at this distance, this new tank gun of the Japanese army poses a deadly threat to the tanks of the United Nations. At the same time, the poor observation and sighting system of the T three or four tanks made it obvious that they would suffer some losses in terms of shooting accuracy.

In addition, the Type 90 gun combat vehicle, which has the strongest anti-tank capability among the Japanese army, is equipped with this tank. The tactics of combining far and near made the losses of the troops participating in the battle quite large. A considerable part of the tanks were destroyed in the hands of such artillery fighting vehicles.
