The Japanese tank crews were not afraid after being bombarded, and detonated the shells in the car one after another, and the Japanese artillery shells were composed of ten armor-piercing shells and twenty grenades, and the grenades were filled with much more explosives than the armor-piercing shells, so the explosion was even more violent, not only the turret was blown away, but even the hull of the car was blown to pieces.

The defenders reported the news to Zhou Xiao, and Zhou Xiao reported the news to Lin Yuan, who immediately said: "Collect the wreckage of the enemy's tank for research, and then take pictures of the wreckage of the Japanese army." ”

The defenders immediately complied, collected the wreckage of the Japanese tanks, sent them to the armored base for study, and then took pictures of the tragic situation of the Japanese tanks and sent them to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan received these pictures and immediately handed them over to Tang Fan, who immediately printed the pictures in the newspaper with the title: "Lin Shuai dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese main artillery tank!" ”

As soon as the news was reported, the people of the whole country all raised their hands to celebrate, and the indignation and depression of some time ago were swept away, and the next day, on December 16, the wreckage of the Japanese army was sent to the tank base, and the experts at the base conducted a metallographic analysis of the armored metal, and determined that the metal smelting level of the Japanese army was not high, so the armor-piercing bullet developed by Luo Chaoying could completely penetrate the armor of the Japanese army.

On the afternoon of 16 December, Mizuki Nagata came to Lin Yuan again and reiterated his claim that Lin Yuan should return Korean territory, but Lin Yuan of course ignored it, and on the evening of 16 December, the British government announced that it would provide South Korea with an interest-free loan of 100 million pounds for the Korean people's war to defend their homeland; Germany has also announced that it will supply a batch of advanced gasoline engines to South Korea.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw these news: "It's South Korea in name, but the beneficiary is Japan!" Now that the Western powers are here, then I will beat your agent - Japan to a beating! However, our armor-piercing shells are still being produced, so I will first get Matsumoto Yunqing and reprimand him to get angry, and by the way, put some pressure on the Japanese government. ”

Lin Yuan then said: "Let people find Matsumoto Yunqing." Matsumoto Yunqing came soon, and Lin Yuan said angrily when he saw Matsumoto Yunqing: "Mr. Matsumoto, you are so shameless, you keep saying that your Great Japanese Empire does not want to start a war, and now you are sending troops to invade our place, I finally understand, you are simply deceiving me!" ”

Matsumoto Yunqing was scolded by Lin Yuan and bowed his head and was silent, thinking helplessly in his heart: "It's not me who wants to attack, what are you scolding me for?" Alas, I really am the most unlucky diplomat. ”

When Matsumoto returned to his residence, he sent a telegram to the country, and at this time, there was a lot of quarrel in Japan, and Ito Hirofumi scolded Nogi Noshinori for making good ideas, which would inevitably push Japan into the abyss from which he could never recover, while Ito Yuhiro and others of the Rapid War faction sang praises for Nogi Noshinori, and the Meiji Emperor of Japan was swaying between the two forces.

On the morning of 17 December, Lin Yuan received news from the arsenal that the first batch of armor-piercing shells had been produced and was now being inspected, and it was expected to be delivered to the troops tomorrow. ”

"But the armor-piercing bullet will not be delivered to the troops until tomorrow, which means that I can't clean up the little devil today, it's too boring, I should find a way to anger the little devil." Lin Yuan thought of this and instructed his subordinates: "Call Shuimu Changtian and say that I have something important to discuss with him." ”

Mizuki Nagata thought that Lin Yuan was intimidated by the military might of the Japanese Empire and agreed to cede Chinese territory to Japan, so he happily went, and when he arrived, he heard Lin Yuan smile and said: "Mr. Mizuki, I came to you to ask you to inform Kumamoto Shoichi to withdraw his troops." ”

Mizuki Nagata said angrily: "What did you say? Let's withdraw our troops! Dream! Can you beat our main gun tanks? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The Battle of the Dense Stone Forest has answered this question very clearly, in this battle, our country's main artillery fighting vehicles were destroyed by us, and none of our main artillery combat vehicles were injured!" ”

Mizuki Nagata sneered: "It was our carelessness and we were stuck by your triangular prism, but our tankmen of the Great Japanese Empire did not retreat and killed and injured a large number of your people!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Anyway, I warned you, when your armored forces are all wiped out, don't blame me!" ”

Mizuki Nagata couldn't help but be furious when he saw Lin Yuan's mockery on his face, and walked away, that night, the first batch of 5,000 armor-piercing shells was sent to the tank battalion of the second division, Lin Yuan immediately ordered Zhou Xiao to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Kaishantun, and be sure to annihilate the Japanese army.

Zhou Xiao of the Second Division immediately convened a meeting of the officers of the tank unit after receiving this order, and Zhou Xiao first said: "The Japanese army has built a lot of fortifications outside Kaishantun, and if our tank troops go to attack, they will definitely pay a lot of casualties, so I decided that our way of fighting this battle is: to lure out the Japanese tanks, we will re-destroy the Japanese tanks, and wait until the Japanese tanks are destroyed, and then we will enter Kaishantun." ”

At this time, Li Mingshan, commander of the tank battalion, said: "Division commander, according to our reconnaissance in the past few days, we found that the Japanese army had 240 tanks, 16 of which had been destroyed in the battle a few days ago, and there were still 224 left. ”

Zhou Xiao said: "The characteristics of the Japanese army are arrogance, we have to make good use of this, as long as we provoke the Japanese army, they will definitely come out to fight us." ”

Li Mingshan thought for a while and said, "But I still don't understand how to provoke them? ”

Zhou Xiao smiled and said, "Have the Three Kingdoms seen it?" ”

Li Mingshan was still at a loss, and Zhou Xiao smiled: "Come here, I'll tell you how to do it." Zhou Xiao then said his plan, and Li Mingshan couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and said, "Great!" ”

That night, Kumamoto Shoichi was pacing in the barracks and complained to his staff officer: "General Nogi is really right, he didn't let us attack, we just suffered a small defeat!" ”

The staff officer said, "Captain, General Nogi also has a full consideration in doing this. ”

Kumamoto snorted coldly, and was about to speak, when an officer outside came in and said, "Report to the captain, Lin Yuan's troops sent someone to send you something." ”

Kumamoto Shoichi asked, "Lin Yuan's troops sent me something?" What to send? ”

The officer said: "There is a letter and ......" The officer's face was ugly for a while, and he couldn't say any more, Kumamoto said angrily: "Hurry up, what else did you send?" ”

The officer said, "I'll send it to you, see for yourself." After speaking, he walked out of the house, and after a while, he came in with a big box, Kumamoto opened the box and saw that it was a Japanese kimono, red flowers on a white background, obviously worn by a woman, Kumamoto Masaichi wondered: "What did the people of China send me a kimono for?" ”

Kumamoto opened the letter while thinking about it, only to see that it was written: "Hello Mr. Kumamoto, I am the commander of the Chinese main artillery tank unit, I hope to fight to the death with your troops, if you have the guts, you will go out of the camp at four o'clock tomorrow night for a decisive battle, if you don't, then please put on that women's kimono and be a samurai like a girl!" Another: That kimono may be a little small, you can wear it, if you really can't wear it, we can change it for you. ”
