"The tank troop on the other side is the armored division of the Dragon Guards?”
At the Anchun Gate, in a temporary command post set up by the Japanese, Yasuoka Masaomi looked at the map and asked his chief of staff.
"Ha Yi! According to the information sent by the Mei Bureau, the Chinese army opposite us is the Dragon Army's chariot unit!”
"Yuxi! They had formed an army in a hurry and their combat strength was extremely weak. They actually dared to come out and die! What a stupid Chinese commander!"
Yasuoka Masaomi said arrogantly. He indeed had the capital to say this. As a lieutenant general with a high military rank. The Tank Brigade he led was under the direct jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army headquarters.
"Commander, when do we attack? Just now, the command center sent an order for us to quickly destroy the Chinese Chariots and head to Fengning to reinforce the 1623 divisions there.”
"Humph! Kuroda and the others were useless! They had three Regiments and 70,000 strong soldiers, but they were actually suppressed by two Chinese Regiments and 50,000 strong soldiers! It was truly a disgrace to the Empire's army!”
Yasuoka Masaomi said disdainfully as if he was looking down on the Dragon Guards.
In fact, during this period, most of the Japanese military officers looked down on the Chinese army. They thought that they only knew how to engage in internal strife, had low combat strength, and had no will. They had no combat strength to speak of.
It was true that they were engaged in internal strife.
As for the low combat effectiveness, it was due to problems with weapons, equipment, training, and nutrition.
They didn't even have enough to eat, and they didn't have complete training. Some troops even had a gun in their hands. Even if they had guns, they had very few bullets. How strong could he be in such a situation?
As for willpower!
China never lacked such things. Perhaps many people didn't have the will to fight among themselves.
However, thinking about the Battle of Songhu in the future, countless children of the Bagui and Sichuan soldiers, wearing tattered military uniforms and straw sandals, dared to attack the devils fearlessly under the bombardment of large-caliber heavy artillery. This could be seen from this.
China never lacked willpower when facing foreign enemies! They would feel it.
Cough cough! He had gone off topic!
"Yasuoka-kun, let's defeat the Chinese people as soon as possible and then go to Fengning to support Kuroda and the others! Otherwise, if the headquarters blames us, we will still be in trouble!”
The chief of staff vaguely reminded Yasuoka Masaomi. After all, this was an order from the headquarters. If he didn't carry it out, he would be charged with disobeying orders!
"Order the First and Second Regiments of the War Chariots to attack at the same time. Surround the Chinese with pincers and destroy them!”
"Ha Yi!"
...
At this time, Sun Liren was a little nervous in front of the Japanese. At the same time, the entire armored division was also nervous.
After all, this was their first battle since the armored division was formed. He had no experience to draw from.
It was even the first large-scale armored force in China. They could only research based on the information provided by Han Bin.
Now was the time to test the results of their training over the past few months.
"Brother Chang Sheng! Looks like you're a little nervous!”
? In the command vehicle, Sun Liren saw Huang Kun's tense expression and smiled.
"Haha! Brother Fumin! Aren't you the same?"
? Huang Kun smiled as he looked at Sun Liren who was also nervous.
"This is an experimental unit! Although we have all learned it, we have never seen it in our country, let alone command it. This is the first stop of our Chinese armored forces!”
"Brother Fumin! It was our first time, but wasn't it the same for the Japanese? Besides, if we lose to the Japanese's chariot troops, we won't have the face to meet Officer Han!”
"Report! The reconnaissance vehicles in front sent back news that all the Japanese had been mobilized! It was a pincer attack!”
Just when Sun Liren was about to say something, a voice came from the earpiece.
Sun Liren calmed down after hearing that. Since it was his first time, he would do his best. Show off the might of the Dragon Guards. He definitely couldn't let the Japanese look down on him.
"Pass on my order, all troops attack! Follow our training! Tear open the Japanese's formation and destroy them!”
"Yes, sir!"
...
Following Sun Liren's order, more than 200 Type-59 tanks and 300 armored vehicles started to move.
Hundreds of armored vehicles had brought up smoke and dust that obscured everything.
On the other hand, the 100-plus armored vehicles on the Japanese side were like confident knights. They did not put the armored division in their eyes at all.
The two torrents of steel, which had stirred up a cloud of dust, were rapidly approaching.
The distance between the two was also getting closer and closer.
Due to the short time the armored division had been established, their accuracy was frighteningly low at a distance of 500 meters.
Ten cannonballs, it was possible that not even one of them would hit. In the end, Sun Liren simply gave the order not to shoot unless it was 300 meters away.
As for the Japanese, although this was also their first time in actual combat, they had been in the army for a long time and had more training.
Therefore, he could achieve a very high hit rate at a distance of 500 meters.
They did hit the target, but the result made their eyes widen.
The 3.7 caliber armor-piercing bullet hit the front armor of the Type 59, but it only made him pause for a moment before he started moving again.
This shocked them so much that their eyeballs almost popped out.
"Nani? The Empire's armor-piercing bullets couldn't penetrate the Chinese tanks?
When the distance was getting closer and closer to 300 meters, the Dragon Army tanks finally began to fire.
At a distance of 300 m, the spotters on both sides could clearly see the tanks of the other side.
At this distance, the accuracy of the Dragon Army soldiers was like eating Brother Wei.
Ten rounds were fired, and more than half of them hit the Japanese tanks.
Even the front armor of the Type 89 medium tank was only about 20 millimeters. What was the caliber of the Type 59 tank's cannon?
100 millimeters. This caliber was a symbol of invincibility at this time.
He could easily break through the front armor of a Type 8 - 9 medium-sized tank.
Therefore, as the Type 59 fired, the Type 89 tanks quickly lit up a pile of torches.
