"Looks like someone got ahead of the game, but it seems like we're the only one night raider, right?" To the surprise of both sides of the battle, another team of 6 tanks and 8 wheeled combat vehicles armed with 75mm cannons was watching the battle at night with great interest from the periphery. Although in the end, Tao Zhenyu did not give the order to take advantage of the night to attack the whole army at night, but this did not prevent some veterans who were proficient in night warfare from being sent to make trouble for the other party.

Sun Yanming was the commander of this army, and they really didn't know the exact location of the opponent at first, but soon, Meng Yan's sneak attack pointed out the direction for Sun Yanming, so this small force with 14 combat vehicles secretly bypassed the outlying camp of the Germans and drove towards the battlefield.

"Now the situation is clear, one of our friendly forces has attacked the Germans, although it is not clear what the origin of this friendly army is. They were now under attack by German troops from two directions, one from the camp and the other from the Germans who had come to converge. For us, it is a bit dangerous to attack the German army with the camp to rely on, it should be a good choice to fight another German army, start the attack after 5 minutes, remember, do not cross the opposing convoy, we are carrying out a limited attack, and rushing to close to friendly forces will lead to some accidents! Sun Yanming thought about it and gave up contact with unknown allies. After all, the lights are blind, and no one knows whether they will be greeted by friendly hugs or cannonballs when they appear in front of each other! It is enough to help them evacuate.

Just as Meng Yan was forced to retreat step by step by the opponents on both sides, the sudden sound of artillery from the south of the battlefield changed the situation of the entire battlefield again, and the continuous roar of the artillery and the flames that pierced the night announced the strength of the attackers. A barrage of vehicles were hit in a barrage of fire. These vehicles were already blocked on the road because of the blockage, and the flames from the burning of the bulleted vehicles clearly marked their bearings. Even without relying on night vision devices, Sun Yanming's subordinates can easily beat these helpless guys into scrap metal from a few hundred meters away!

With the addition of Sun Yanming, the situation on the entire battlefield was reversed again. The German commander stationed in the camp even thought that the main Chinese army was coming! The opponent of the first sneak attack was probably a company of tanks, and the opponent of the subsequent sneak attack looked at at least two companies! (Well, the night was so chaotic, it's normal to miscalculate.) That's at least 30 tanks combined! Maybe the rest of the troops are still hiding in the shadows. The German commander, frightened by his own assumptions, immediately contacted friendly forces and asked for reinforcements, and what was supposed to be a small-scale exchange of fire led to a series of reactions. It even directly affected the direction of future campaigns.

"How can you support this night? Don't end up fighting with your own people. The other German commanders who received the telegram for help had such an idea in their minds at this time, it was okay to attack the defensive line or defense at night, but now it was not a positional war, but a movement war, and it would be useless to catch what the opponent said! Now it's raining outside again. The auxiliary role of infantry declined further. However, it is not appropriate for such a thing to happen, so they can only carry out this task as much as possible under the condition of ensuring their own safety, and because of this premise limitation, it is conceivable how low the subjective initiative of the support troops is!

Let's put aside the support troops who don't know when they will arrive, at this time the battlefield can be described as one-sided, Meng Yan's predicament just now was replaced by the Germans, Sun Yanming's sudden blow made the entire army collapse instantly! Accompanied by the whistling of artillery, a series of explosions came from the convoy, and soon, the convoy was beaten into a fiery dragon by the attackers in the night! THE GERMANS IN THE CAMP REALLY WANTED TO SAVE THEIR ALLIES, BUT JUST AS THEY TURNED AROUND AND RUSHED TO THE OTHER SIDE, TWO WHEELED ARMORED VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH NIGHT VISION EQUIPMENT WARNED THEIR OPPONENTS WITH 75MM GUNS!

"I saw a flash of fire in the distance, William's car was hit, this cannon was fired at least 800 meters away, the fire was very small, just jumped, I couldn't even capture the opponent's position!" A German tank commander recalled the situation in this way, and it was precisely because of this gun that the Germans had the idea that they could not be defeated, at night! 800 meters! The other party's night vision equipment is too sharp! This is a script made up by the Germans, but in fact, because of the relationship between the night and the rain, the actual firing distance of this blow is only 500 meters! And it was the only result achieved by two wheeled tanks after nearly 10 shots! After all, when the Germans counterattacked, they controlled the lights!

This luckier blow did not collapse the Germans, but it greatly affected the morale of the troops, and the remaining tanks began to hesitate, trying to hide themselves and keep their speed down. Action will be taken only when flares fall, after it has been determined that it is safe to go a few hundred meters ahead. However, when the follow-up troops arrived, the Germans finally began to carry out an effective offensive, they sent half-tracked vehicles with large searchlights, and then provided lighting for the attacking tank troops in a distant place, and several huge pillars of light swept across the battlefield, exposing several Chinese chariots hidden in the shadows.

A tank happily attacking a distant convoy became the first victim under the searchlight, and its continuous spray of flames attracted the attention of the opponent, and the German soldiers operating the searchlight spotted the leaping flames in the distance, and then suddenly shot out a column of light to envelop the tank. The bright light that burst into the tank made the tank driver dazed for a while, and at this time, the German gunners who reacted vented their grievances with accurate and intensive shooting! A barrage of shells came from a distance of several hundred meters, easily piercing the tank's fragile side armor, and in just a few seconds, the tank was torn apart by the continuous blows.

However, the German offensive did not last long, and the Huaxia chariots that reacted quickly aimed their fire at the searchlights located in the back row, although the distance was far away and could not be directly hit, but after replacing the grenades, the flying shrapnel still caused great damage to these fragile devices. Even the side-by-side machine guns on the tanks were used to attack these searchlights.

And at this time, it seemed that encouraged by the results just now, the remaining German tanks also turned on their headlights to search for targets, but the moment they turned on the lights, they found that they seemed to have miscalculated the situation, the number of opponents was a little large, and most of their companions were behind! THE CHAOTIC NIGHT MADE THE SO-CALLED FORMATION IMPOSSIBLE, AND THE TANKS AT THE FOREFRONT WERE ATTACKED BY FOUR TANKS AND FOUR WHEELED COMBAT VEHICLES IN CHINA, AND AT A DISTANCE OF LESS THAN 700 METERS, THE CONTINUOUS FIRE OF EIGHT 75MM GUNS KNOCKED OUT THE FOUR GERMAN TANKS WHO DARED TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS IN LESS THAN ONE MINUTE, AND THEN, THE DENSE RAIN OF BULLETS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION TO TURN THE SEARCHLIGHTS BEHIND THE PEOPLE ON THEIR BACKS.

"The friendly forces outside have been judged to be completely destroyed, I think we should withdraw our troops and hold the camp!" The series of blows made the Germans in the camp feel like frightened birds. In the end, they gave up the active support of external allies and chose to defend, but at this time, neither Meng Yan nor Sun Yanming had any intention of continuing to attack this base, so take it when they see it! However, the retreat direction of the two armies was exactly the opposite, Meng Yan retreated to the northwest, which was invisibly closer to the rear of the German army, while Sun Yanming returned the same way.

"What? Plans changed? Breakout in the early hours of the morning? Just when Sun Yanming was on the way home and was about to go back, an order from his superiors came out on the radio. According to this order, Sun Yanming was to stay where he was until dawn to launch a feint attack, covering the main force to protrude from the other direction, and then assemble at the predetermined location. "It's a bit of a tricky plan." After receiving the order, Sun Yanming said to himself with some tears and laughter. I'm just going to be bait!

"We seem to be lost!" If Sun Yanming is depressed in this matter, then Meng Yan is very depressed! The former at least knows where they are, while the latter seems to be lost. And what is even more tragic is that the battered walking equipment of his No. 1 tank finally can't hold up. Protected by skirt plates and load wheels, the tank's side armor was hit at least seven times, and now it can run almost 20 kilometers. "Let's find a place to rest first! And at this moment, the roar from a distance made Sun Yanming tremble! "The great force of the Germans is coming!" That was his first reaction!

The other two tanks and other vehicles turned around and ran away, leaving Meng Yan alone, but this guy is also in a hurry! "Open the hatch, bring the anti-gas area, and then pull a smoke grenade inside the car, be quick!" Can't fight, can't run, now Meng Yan can only hide, don't say it, when the smoke of the smoke screen bomb is emitted from the inside of the hull, from a distance, this tank really looks like it was destroyed. When they got closer, the Germans looked at the bullet holes and scars on the tank and the smoke all over their bodies, and really ignored him. This armored unit continued to advance, while Meng Yan and the others hid under the tank through the escape door at the bottom of the hull.

"The other side has at least 2 battalions in size, and they are advancing in the direction of the battlefield we just left." After the Germans passed, Meng Yan climbed out from under the tank and said. The current situation is very bad, the size of this force alone has exceeded the size of the Huaxia battle group. Once it dawns tomorrow, the situation of the battle group will be worrying. And after contacting his teammates, Meng Yan definitely risked revealing his own location and used the long-distance radio to get in touch with Tao Zhenyu, at least so that they could be on guard.

Fortunately, this telegram was finally sent, and there was a password in front of the full text of the telegram, which was a password agreed in advance before departure, and it was changed day by day, so when Tao Zhenyu received this telegram, he had no doubt that it was sent by a certain friendly army, and it was absolutely impossible for the Germans to intercept the cipher machine and send it. If this information is correct, then it means that the plan that has just been set is about to change, and the Germans have left enough mobile forces to encircle and suppress themselves. Even if they are lucky enough to break through the first blockade, they will still be chased by the Germans, and at this time, the tragic mobility of the Type 29 tank is reflected, because of the lack of unit power, both cross-country performance and speed are inferior to the German No. 4 tank. Coupled with the fact that they are running long distances, the wear and tear of parts and fuel make it difficult for this unit to compete with the opponent's endurance.

"The whole battle was a bit anticlimactic, and we still underestimated the difficulties of fighting behind enemy lines. We still overestimate our armor superiority, and the Type 29 tank and the opponent's tank destroyer No. 4 were at a disadvantage in the engagement. Guderian's penetration behind enemy lines at that time was not very effective, and this time the surprise strike of the Chinese taking advantage of the weather advantage did not achieve much success, at least compared with the expectations of the battle, this armored force did not finally penetrate into the real rear of the Germans, sweeping away all kinds of logistics units. The Germans' ample mobility and relatively small depth ultimately prevented our troops from advancing. After the war, Tao Zhenyu once commented on the first armored raid in China.

In the face of the German encirclement, it was difficult for Tao Zhenyu to continue to go deep behind the enemy, so he had to take advantage of the night to regather his troops and then withdraw in the direction away from the German rear. The battle had reached such an extent that he had no intention of continuing to go deep behind enemy lines, but even so, after dawn, a ** attack by the Germans put him and his troops in danger.

Transport vehicles were in the middle, light combat vehicles were deployed on the periphery as reconnaissance units, heavy wheeled vehicles were used as partisan units to hinder the pursuit of the opposing side, and the few remaining tanks served as the core of the entire corps. As a battle group, Tao Zhenyu's troops are not moving fast overall, and although light vehicles can evacuate quickly, tanks and other heavy vehicles must repel the opponent before they can leave safely. And when the sun rose the next day, Tao Zhenyu's main force met the Germans again!

"In the distance, the opposing forces are at least a battalion, they use light vehicles to reconnoitre, while the main forces are at a distance from us, and it is difficult for us to get rid of them. To the northwest of us there was also a German force, of unknown size, but it seemed that they already knew our position, and swooped down on us with this German army like a pair of pincers. An officer reported the latest situation to Tao Zhenyu.

"Right over there, in the villages and towns, let's get ready, ready for the last battle! The other side can only catch up with the wheeled vehicles on the road, so they must pass through this village to pursue, as long as we can repel this wave of attacks, then we can give the transport convoy at least 4 hours, if the other side waits for other reinforcements, we estimate that we can hold out until night, the other side knows our night vision advantage, they will not launch an operation at night. After weighing it again, Tao Zhenyu decided to fight again. There are already a lot of enemies on the opposite side, some of which are beyond the situation he can handle, and only by relying on the geographical advantage can he block the opponent, and a small town is undoubtedly the best battlefield for the Huaxia Legion with a bazooka.
