Zhou Youfu's insatiable greed is indeed the biggest advantage that Chu Tingchang needs, when he is not fighting, let him manage the car, run around, and loot the warehouses abandoned by the British, the most surprising thing, he doesn't understand half a sentence of foreign language, and even bribed the guards to get the materials out.

Of course, for the sake of officials, we must turn a blind eye to some of Zhou Youfu's behaviors of stealing chickens and dogs. In fact, not only Brooke, but also many people in the synthetic camp who don't look down on Zhou Youfu's style, there are rumors that he has already set up a protégé for himself in the refugee camp, and it is said that he is still the daughter of a wealthy businessman. In addition, Zhou Youfu does have a private problem, if he could sell it for money, he would have sold it a long time ago. It's a pity that he can't, so he gave Tao Mingzhang.

Of course, it's not anti-tank*, it's just infantry killing*. But Tao Mingzhang felt that the British * charge was quite a lot, and it should be able to blow up the tank tracks. He is also a calculating man, and he can kill the resources of the Japanese, and he does not want to waste them at all.

When Tao Mingzhang buried * to cut off the back road of Japan, Chu Tingchang was calling Sun Liren at the moment, and he had not replied to the call of Commander Chen Fangwu before, in order to make them feel at ease on their side, and leave the main force on the flank, so that they might be able to use it for themselves. He was about to eat the 14th Wing, but his own people were all new players after all, and the number was an absolute disadvantage, so he needed foreign help.

"Division Commander Sun, Division Commander Sun, I am the synthetic battalion of the 5th Army."

In Sun Liren's headquarters, there was a call from Pavilion Chief Chu. The signal corps walked towards Sun Liren under the mirror of the forward artillery team.

Master Sun was using binoculars to watch the battle between the 113th Regiment and the stunned Sakurai Division, and the brothers fought well. But he still had to turn to the west from time to time to look in the direction of Chu Tingchang, worried that something would go wrong there. He came all the way down from Songhu and had long lost trust in the cooperation of his neighbors. The west has been very calm, has it resisted? He heard a hoarse call on the radio, and his heart couldn't help but flutter.

"Division, it's Commander Chu of the 5th Army calling us."

"Say I'm not there, see what he says."

"Yes." The correspondent echo picked up the intercom.

"The division commander has gone to the front, please inform you of the situation there."

"Tell you, commander, brother, I can't stand it here...... I can't stand it. ”

Sun Liren's head buzzed, and he hurriedly came over and grabbed the intercom.

"What's unbearable? Report your situation. ”

"Sun Shizuo, Sun Shizuo, the enemy 14th Wing has bitten me, bitten me, I can't get rid of it, I'm on the way to you, your department wants to move closer to me, move closer to me."

"What?"

Sun Liren slammed his fist on the table, and it sounded like this Chu Tingchang originally wanted to give up his flank and escape, but it turned out to be self-defeating, and he was bitten by the Japanese, and now he is leading the enemy to his side.

"You ......"

"Master Sun, pull the brothers, pull the brothers."

"Oh, you ......" he suppressed the fire and didn't say the curse words, "I'm fighting here, how can you put the enemy tanks over?" ”

If Chief Chu was his subordinate, he would have dropped the intercom at this time and personally led the guard company to get his head.

"How could you make such a big mistake at such a critical moment?"

He said with anger in his breath.

"Division, let your machine gun battalion transfer two companies out of the left passage to the mountain pass west of Valanmiao, where there are thorns, the slope is very gentle, and the back is facing the sun, so you can condescendingly ambush the passing enemy tank group."

Sun Liren bent down and looked at the map next to him, found the location, drew one, and suddenly his heart turned. How did this grandson know that his cannon battery was in this area? Not only did he have to be confident, but he also thought about the route.

"Your intentions."

"The enemy is outflanked from the southwest through the Valan Pass, and will form an outflanking in front of our battalion, I will meet the enemy head-on, and the enemy will have his back to the mountain pass, and we will attack from both sides, and we can break it and solve the 14th Wing once and for all."

The timing of Chu Ting's election is absolutely tricky, if you want to shoot him, you can't veto his plan. Because he has taken your flank, he wants you to cooperate. It seems that he can only use the main machine gun company of the new 38th Division to relieve him. Sun Liren thought for 5 seconds, and felt that Chu Tingchang's plan was concise and feasible, this person had a good brain, but he didn't have the courage to see red with bayonets on the battlefield.

"Okay, I'll transfer two companies from the machine gun battalion to your designated position, don't play a trick, my Surotong has no armor, so I can only attack from the flanks and back, and I can't resist hard."

"I know, it's up to me to resist head-on."

Chu Tingchang suddenly became arrogant again.

Of course, Sun Liren didn't believe him at all, but he was coerced and had no choice. His machine gun battalion is the absolute essence of the whole division that cannot be lost, one company is equipped with Rheinmetall 37 mm machine guns, and the other two are equipped with Su Luotong 20 mm guns, in fact, they are all anti-aircraft guns, but because of the shortage of war defense guns, most of the time, they also have to shoulder the task of hitting strongholds, and it is very dangerous to use anti-tank, even if the Japanese tank armor is not good, but the front can carry these machine guns. As for the flanks, it is possible to penetrate, but in general, tanks have the advantage of maneuverability, machine guns do not, and the enemy cannot expose your weaknesses to you unless you know the enemy's route.

If the situation develops exactly according to what Chu Tingchang said on the radio, and the enemy reaches the designated position, and the attention is attracted by his Grant, it may be possible to fight, but if there is a difference, the machine gun company will suffer. He really couldn't understand why Chief Chu would rather come up with such a complex and variable plan than be like a man and fight the enemy directly, and it wasn't that it didn't have good guns.

Of course, Sun Liren didn't know that Chu Tingchang's requirements for his own casualties were completely different from the Chinese generals of this era.

Standing on the turret and observing a cloud of smoke from the north, it looked like the American tanks had slowed down, perhaps because the bulky engines used by the aero engines had been undercooled and their output had decreased. He couldn't help but feel complacent, everything was going according to the script he envisioned.

Aizawa had participated in the finalization of new Japanese tanks when he was at the Narashino Tank School, so he knew very well that heavily armored tanks would not work, because the engines were too heavy and would quickly overheat, and even on the ice fields of Manchuria, the heat dissipation of tank engines would often cause trouble, let alone places like South Asia. So Germany, which had the most advanced tank tactics, none of its main tanks exceeded 25 tons. Only countries like the United States, Britain and France, where the whole people are afraid of death, can create dozens of tons of monsters. Of course, Aizawa's knowledge has not had time to update, not knowing that the Soviet T34 tank is sweeping through the German excellent tanks under 25 tons, nor that Germany has also joined the armor race, and the 50-ton tank is about to appear. Now, he is satisfied with the Type 97, a weapon with average mobile firepower and protection.

The main force of the machine gun battalion of the new 38th Division was towed by a car and successfully arrived at the designated position, everything was as Chu Tingchang described, in a condescending position, not a very steep slope, with his back to the sun, and enough hidden bushes.

Wind and smoke approached in the distance, and mechanized troops were approaching.

As the troops began to deploy rapidly, the commander observed through his binoculars that it was a large group of Japanese tanks, and more than 20 of them could be seen. Even if the new 38th Division is a veteran of the Songhu fight, they have never seen the Japanese use tanks so intensively, usually the Japanese tank tactics need to cooperate with the infantry, but this time I can't see half of the infantry.

The artillery units hid in the bushes and waited for their chances. Now those goals are still too far away. Before they set off, Division Commander Sun personally explained, if the fighter is not good, don't force it, after all, the friendly army has armor and we don't have it. It is said that friendly forces can lure the Japanese to themselves, and everything will wait and see.

The Japanese did not notice the situation in the rear at all, and in fact, Aizawa's plan was also to occupy a mountain pass with his back to the sun, as the first advantage in the total annihilation of the enemy, and now he did it. Of course, he did not know the location of Sun Liren's troops, and the Sakurai command was not obliged to tell him.

He immediately began to deploy his forces, ordering a squadron to quickly pass through the belated Grant front. Trick all Grant's attention into turning to them.

Takuji Aizawa did not fail to do his homework, he fully studied Grant's weaknesses and strengths, the strength was of course his 75mm cannon, the weakness was the lack of left and right firing range of this gun, and the accuracy of the * gun at long distance. Then it is necessary for a small detachment to turn from the superior enemy in front, using track differential to increase the firing range. In this way, the side will inevitably be exposed, and his main force can be killed by surprise. Shoot accurately from long range and see if you can penetrate the side.

If the enemy turns back to the front to fend off, then the first detachment can be reloaded and attacked from the other side. In short, those clumsy turrets, no matter how they turned, inevitably exposed a weakness on one side, either on the left or on the right. Taking advantage of the confusion of the enemy, he can fight closer and closer, mobilize them, there will always be many opportunities to break the enemy individually, and he can't see the reason why he can't win.

He even thought about it in advance, and added another article in his report: a study of mobile warfare against the enemy's heavy tanks. And came up with a nice name, called wolf pack tactics.

Chu Tingchang has been listening to the radio stations around him through Qin Xiaosu, in addition to the Japanese army, even friendly troops are not spared, so he has a grasp of the general situation in the vicinity, he knows that two 12 to 16 machine guns are already in place, and some of the 37mm guns are what he needs the most, although there are none*. He also guessed the tactics of the Japanese army, and they would detour on both sides of him, like a swarm of flies waiting for the flaws to appear and maggots. Of course, it will not be so easy, they only see that their main gun has insufficient firing range, probably forgetting that there is also a 37-mm gun with a 360-degree firing range. Are multi-turret tanks easy to mess with?

What he needs to do is a solid formation and move forward slowly. The enemy will patiently deal with him, and at the same time, he will inadvertently push himself into an ambush of the machine gun unit, as long as there is a dozen enemies there will be chaos.

"Battalion commander, is the 38th Division in the designated position?" A platoon commander asked.

"Well, it's already here, there's a regiment."

He casually told a lie that the two companies were a regiment.

"2 o'clock Japanese tanks. Right ahead. Someone shouted in panic. Chu Ting got out of the turret early and used his binoculars to observe the smoke and dust rising there, and it looked like 10 tanks were passing about 1.5 kilometers in front of him.

"Don't panic, they can't penetrate us even if they get to 50 meters, so they reduce to first gear and move forward at a low speed. Free fire. ”

He gave an order, whether it was 50 meters and couldn't penetrate it, he didn't know, anyway, he would stabilize people's hearts first.

Tank companies began to fire at Japanese tanks. Grant's advantage of having 2 guns is reflected, and once it starts to fight randomly, the momentum is very strong.

"Listen to everything, just go straight and don't turn to the enemy."

"The enemy has run out of the firing range, let them pass, and use the 37 guns to resist."

Of course, he knew that it was unlikely to hit, but the enemy was not on the right track, and if they were ready to make a desperate bet, they would stop. If they run around, let them go.
