"Moses, Moses, this is the temporary command center of the 162nd division! We're being attacked by Chinese fighter jets, we're being attacked by Chinese fighter jets! Requesting air support, requesting air support!”
A Japanese agent was talking into the phone. On the other hand, the 162nd Regiment Commander was looking at the map on the table.
"After the Chinese air raid, they will definitely attack immediately. Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, immediately order the 176th and 178th regiments to go to the battlefield to provide support! Otherwise, the 177 and 218 regiments would not be able to hold on!”
Kuroda said to his chief of staff as he looked at the map.
"Ha Yi!"
"Kuroda-kun, our situation isn't looking good! The Chinese's artillery is so fierce, our 3 Regiments lack heavy artillery support, the Field Artillery Regiments are powerless! Why hasn't the headquarters sent out the Heavy Artillery Brigade to support us?”
Nagano Kameichiro listened to the sound of the aerial bomb exploding on the ground outside, and a hint of resentment appeared on his face. Could it be that General Minamijiro didn't care about the three divisions?
Although they were not the A-grade Regiments, they still had over seventy thousand men.
"Lieutenant General Nagano Kameichiro! Please be careful with your words. We are all warriors of His Majesty the Emperor. How can we complain like this?”
Kuroda looked at Nagano Kameichiro seriously.
"Ha Yi! Thank you Kuroda-kun for your reminder!"
Kuroda nodded and sighed."I don't think it's because General Minamijiro doesn't care about us. Perhaps the 12th Regiment at Fengjiayu needs reinforcements more!”
Kuroda's words made 108 Regiment Commander Nagano Kameichiro and 109 Regiment Commander Kato Seiichi feel helpless.
That's right! The bombardment on his side was so fierce, and the situation was so difficult.
The situation at Fengjiayu was probably not too good either.
Between the permanent division A and B, Minamijiro would definitely choose the 12th division.
The 12th Regiment was not only the A-type Regiment, but also one of the 17 permanent divisions. If a permanent division was annihilated or even crippled, Minamijiro would not be able to escape responsibility.
If his three B division were to be crippled, he would at most be punished.
If the 12th division was crippled, he might be transferred back to the country to join the reserve force. This would be the end of his military career.
"Nagano, Kato. Now that the Chinese people are firing fiercely, our losses will be even greater if we continue like this! I've decided to give up this position and let the air force cover us as we move towards Luanping! It was said that the Tank Exploration Team had already arrived there. Such a fierce artillery fire from the Chinese must have consumed a lot of ammunition. We'll stretch the battle line so that the Chinese won't have any more shells to fire! They will break their own arms!"
Kuroda's words received the approval of Nagano Kameichiro and Kato Seiichi.
"Yuxi! Kuroda-kun was indeed worthy of being the elite of the 16th episode! In this way, the Chinese people could not attack. Moreover, Luanping is very close to Chengde. We can let the air force open the way and then we can attack!”
The three major generals had completely forgotten about the armored division that was moving towards Luanping. Perhaps they still thought that the Dragon Army's hastily formed armored division could not defeat their so-called chariot exploration team!
But was this the truth?
At this time, the armored division that was about to reach Luanping finally encountered their first enemy since they formed the army-the Japanese Kwantung Army's chariot brigade.
This chariot brigade was established in 1934 and was commanded by Lieutenant General Yasuoka Masaomi. It was a standard high-ranking military rank. This was because the Tank Brigade was the first armored force in Japan.
The entire chariot brigade was equipped with about 100 Type 89 medium tanks, Type 95 light tanks, and Type 94 light armored vehicles. It was an important assault force of the Guandong Army.
This time, Minamijiro heard that the Dragon Guards were also equipped with tanks, so he sent out the only Tank Brigade of the Kwantung Army.
"Brother Fumin, the scouts just reported that the Japanese's armored vehicles have stopped at the Anchun Gate in front! I think they're about to attack!”
In a special armored vehicle, Sun Liren was looking at a map while a young man with the rank of major general on his shoulder was talking to him.
? This person was Huang Kun, Sun Liren's classmate in America. Some time ago, he returned from an inspection tour in Germany. Coincidentally, Sun Liren was about to be transferred to the Dragon Guards.
Originally, he wanted to join the Central Army. However, at this time, the media helped Han Bin.
? The overwhelming praise made Huang Kun interested in this local warlord.
He wanted to see what kind of style this famous general who was highly praised by the whole country had.
Therefore, she followed Sun Liren to Huailai. Later, when Han Bin found out that this was a turtle who had returned from the United States and had returned from Germany, his eyes immediately lit up.
? In the end, he brought Huang Kun to inspect the recruit camp and the equipment of the Dragon Army. He then went to see the factories that were breaking ground everywhere in Chahar. Huang Kun was moved.
He felt that Chahar's youthful aura had attracted him. The atmosphere that was filled with vitality suited him very well.
However, at this moment, he was only tempted. He had yet to take action.
In the end, Han Bin told him that the Dragon Army was building an armored force and lacked military officers. He also showed him the Type 59 tank in the warehouse, and he immediately decided to stay.
? Huang Kun believed that although the Dragon Guards had only been established for a short period of time, their military theories and ideas were in line with the world. Their weapons and equipment had also completely caught up with the pace of the world. Unexpectedly, the army in Nanjing was filled with a lifeless aura.
Moreover, he could display his knowledge in the Dragon Army, so he stayed.
When he knew that his classmate Sun Liren would be the commander of the armored division, he volunteered to be the deputy commander.
Just like that, the two students who had studied in the United States became a bunch of partners.
"Haha! It was just right! Our armored division has just been established. His combat strength wasn't strong, so it was best to train himself against the Japanese!”
Han Bin had already given the information to the armored division regarding the tanks that the Japanese were equipped with.
Therefore, Sun Liren knew the data of the Japanese Tank Brigade.
The front armor of the Japanese Type 89 medium tank was only about 20 millimeters. The tank was equipped with a 37mm smoothbore cannon and a 7.7mm machine gun.
With such firepower, Sun Liren didn't even consider them as his opponents.
The Type-59 tank was only the initial model and not the improved ones.
However, the 100mm smooth-bore cannon could penetrate the front armor of any tank in this era.
The armor protection of the Type 59 was also extremely strong.
The front armor was a hundred millimeters thick.
This was only the initial model of the Type 59. The later versions of the Type 59 were equipped with cannons with a caliber of 120mm. The front armor was more than 100 millimeters long.
Even so, the Type 59 could easily crush the Japanese Type 89 medium tanks.
