Kumamoto Shoichi then reported the battle report and the next action plan to Nogi Noshinori, and Nogi Noshinori told the battle report to Mizuki Nagata, so that Mizuki Nagata used this big victory to force Lin Yuan to admit that China's territory was Korean, Mizuki Nagata received the news of Nogi Noshinori, and when he saw Lin Yuan, he smiled proudly: "Lin Yuan, the bold words you said to me yesterday have completely become a laughing stock, and your main artillery and chariot units have been defeated by us." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard Mizuki Nagata's words, because he also got the battle report, and his battle report said: Our department destroyed 35 Japanese tanks and destroyed 7 of them.

Lin Yuan heard Mizuki Nagata say that they won a big victory in this battle, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "The Japanese army's standard for judging the victory or defeat of the battle is so weird, the battle loss ratio between us is five to one, they destroyed five and we only destroyed one, do they think that this is even if they win?" ”

Lin Yuan then smiled and said: "Indeed, our combat effectiveness is much higher than that of your Imperial Japanese Army, and it is already a great victory for you to let us lose a small point." Lin Yuan laughed after speaking, Mizuki Nagata frowned, and sneered: "Forty-four main artillery combat vehicles are 'a small loss'?" Lin Shuai is really generous! ”

When Lin Yuan heard this, he asked, "Forty-four main artillery combat vehicles?" What do you mean? ”

Mizuki Nagata laughed wildly and said, "What do you mean?" Doesn't that make sense? Our tank wing of the Imperial Japanese Army defeated your main artillery tank unit and destroyed forty-four main artillery tanks! ”

When the "simple" Lin Yuan heard this, the first thing he thought of was that his subordinates' battle report was wrong, so he found an excuse to get up and leave the table, went outside to find an attendant, and asked, "Send a telegram to the second division immediately and ask them what is going on?" Why is their war report so different from the Japanese's war report? If you tell them in a serious way, just say what I said: no matter how many tanks are lost, there is nothing to do, but deception must be severely punished! ”

Lin Yuan returned to the house after explaining, Mizuki Nagata took out the matter of the territory again, Lin Yuan listened to it countless times, and his ears were about to grind out calluses, if he hadn't counted on Mizuki Nagata to pass on the news, Lin Yuan would have taken out a pistol and shot him. At this time, the attendant came in and sent a code to Lin Yuan, signaling Lin Yuan to come out.

Lin Yuan then came to the outside of the house, and the attendant said: "Zhou Xiao, the commander of the second division, used his life to guarantee that there is no problem with the battle report, and the number of enemy tanks destroyed may be different, so there is no way, because the statistics are based on the number of destroyed tanks of our department, and the number of destroyed tanks is reported by each tank, and there may be multiple reports, but the number of tanks damaged by us is definitely not a problem, it must be seven, and there will be no more." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "In my time, the Japanese army liked to cheat, especially during the Pacific War, and often reported to Lu's superiors that they had sunk several American aircraft carriers, but in fact they were all fake, and it seems that this time the Japanese army should also be cheating." Lin Yuan thought of these and laughed secretly, and was just about to go back and laugh at Mizuki Nagata, but suddenly thought, "What did I tell him about this?" Let them be arrogant, and when they are arrogant, it will be easier for us to defeat them. ”

Lin Yuan thought of this and returned to the house, perfunctory Mizuki Nagata a few words, and then got Mizuki Nagata away, Mizuki Nagata left triumphantly, and when he returned to his residence, he sent a telegram to Nogi Noshinori, and said on the telegram: "Lin Yuan is about to give in, and strive for another big victory, Lin Yuan will definitely agree to cede the territory to Korea!" ”

After receiving this telegram, Nogi Noshinori ordered Kumamoto Shoichi to speed up the march and attack the tank camp of Lin Yuan's troops, and on December 20, the Japanese army gathered two tank brigades and 160 tanks and marched towards the tank camp of Lin Yuan's troops, and Zhou Xiao and Li Mingshan quickly got the news.

When Li Mingshan heard the news, he said to Zhou Xiao: "Division commander, I think the little devil is crazy, outside our tank camp is the remnant of Beishan, the terrain is very undulating, and the Japanese tanks will be separated by the terrain when they enter this area. ”

Zhou Xiao said: "Okay, you guys can prepare, and I heard that the arsenal has come up with new anti-tank weapons, and our battle will definitely become easier and easier." ”

Li Mingshan hurriedly asked, "Really?" What weapons? ”

Zhou Xiao said: "Neither the arsenal nor Lin Shuai said, but Lin Shuai told me that you can't use that kind of thing in your armored battalion." ”

Li Mingshan smiled: "Since we don't need it, then we don't care what it is!" So he began to prepare for battle, Li Mingshan got the information, the Japanese soldiers divided into three roads, from the mountain road to attack the tank camp, Li Mingshan thought: "The three roads taken by the Japanese army are only more than 50 meters wide, so that the Japanese tanks will definitely line up, if they are lined up in two columns, the steering and maneuver will be affected, and the Japanese tanks in front of the queue will block the observation route of the tanks behind, so the Japanese tanks will definitely use a single formation in this terrain condition, and we can use this opportunity to hit the Japanese tanks!" ”

"But if we directly intercept the Japanese army on the road, there will be an artillery battle, and the two sides face to face with artillery bombardment, we do not have an advantage, judging from the previous battles, the range of the Japanese army's main guns is not closer than ours, and their armor-piercing shells are not weak, if we directly intercept the Japanese army on the road, it will inevitably become a situation of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 ourselves, which is not a good idea."

Li Mingshan looked at the map in front of him, and suddenly said to the people in the headquarters: "Let's go, let's go to the mountain road and have a look." Li Mingshan then led people to the mountain road, although it was said to be a mountain road, but because there were Lin Yuan's armored troops in it, this mountain road was re-repaired and could carry a lot of weight.

Although it has snowed heavily in recent days, there is no snow on the mountain road, but there is a lot of snow on the mountains on both sides, Li Mingshan looked at the dirt mountains on both sides, and thought to himself: "It is more than ten meters high, that is to say, the Japanese tank guns will never be able to hit it, if we can put the tanks on it and hit the Japanese tanks from above, the Japanese tanks will definitely not have the ability to fight back, and we will knock out the Japanese tanks at the head and tail, and block the Japanese troops on the mountain road, and we can kill the Japanese tanks one by one, I'm not in the slightest danger! ”

Although Li Mingshan thought of this method, his heart was suddenly cold, because he knew very well in his heart: the premise of the success of this method is that the tank can shoot at a negative angle, that is, to hit the lower Lu, but his TK-96 tank cannot hit the lower Lu, what can I do? Li Mingshan was unwilling to give up this method, so he returned to the camp and came to the technical company and asked, "Can our tank guns shoot at the Lu?" ”

The commander of the technical company smiled: "Battalion commander, what's wrong with you?" You are an excellent commander in the whole army, and you have won the ranking in the whole army's competition, why don't you even know the firing range of our tanks? Our tanks are not allowed to shoot at negative angles. ”

Li Mingshan shook his head helplessly, thinking, "It seems that I can only give up this idea!" At this moment, a young soldier suddenly stood up and said, "Battalion commander, our tanks can be hit down." ”
