"Armored soldiers! Assault!"
Dozens of B-7 light tanks formed an offensive formation in front of the position and quickly approached the position. The Sichuan army did not have any anti-tank weapons. They could only use cluster grenades to destroy the tanks.
If they were all equipped with anti-tank weapons, the Japanese tanks would not be so arrogant during the war.
As the tanks moved at high speed, the tracks of the tanks rolled over the soil, making creaking sounds. When they were still a few hundred meters away from the camp, the Sichuan soldiers began to shoot.
Most of the soldiers in the camp were rifles, and there were only a few machine guns. They were placed at key positions in the camp, forming a crossfire.
If they were dealing with the infantry charge of other warlords in the country, this arrangement would not be a problem. However, they were facing a tank assault. The rifle bullets and machine gun bullets were very weak when they hit the tank armor. Other than leaving white marks and knocking off the paint, there was no other effect.
The soldiers inside the tank could clearly hear the clanging of the armor. The roar of the gasoline engine was relatively quiet.
Soon, the tanks stopped one by one. The gunner and the driver cooperated well. The moment the tanks stopped, the gunner quickly locked onto a target and pressed the firing pedal.
The muzzle of the 45mm tank cannon flashed, and a grenade flew to a machine gun made of sandbags and exploded. Sand flew everywhere, accompanied by machine gun parts and minced meat.
The distance of a few hundred meters was only a matter of minutes for the tanks. When they were less than 200 meters away from the camp, the two G34 machine guns on the tanks began to whine, forming a fire suppression on the Sichuan camp.
"Devils, they are all devils!" When they saw the tanks charging in groups, some soldiers couldn't take it anymore and threw down their guns before running back.
At this moment, the morale of the soldiers of the 6th Regiment of the 4th Division of the Sichuan Army was unstable. The rifles in their hands were their greatest reliance on the battlefield, but they were so powerless when facing tanks.
In addition, their rear was attacked by the Army Air Force. Their support had not arrived until now, and their morale collapsed very quickly.
The escape of one soldier quickly led the other soldiers to escape, forming a domino effect.
The tanks rushed into the camp and easily crossed the trenches. The machine guns kept firing and did not stop. At this time, the soldiers of the 6th Regiment of Sichuan Army completely collapsed.
On one of the command tanks equipped with a long-wave radio, the regiment commander was full of smiles when he saw this scene. Then, he said to a soldier beside him,"Immediately report this situation to Division Commander Deng. I request to continue the assault and pierce through the enemy camp!”
Deng Ziye, who was at the rear, also received the news from the Independent Tank Regiment. He immediately ordered,"Let them continue to attack and break through the enemy's defense line, but don't advance rashly. The main force will arrive soon!”
Right now, the enemy's camp was being ravaged by the bomber fleet. It was a chaotic time. If the 70 tanks of the Independent Tank Regiment broke in, it would cause even greater chaos. It was even likely to be the last straw that broke the camel's back and cause them to collapse.
Deng Ziye had fought many battles during this period of time, so he had a good understanding of the Sichuan Army. Their will to resist was relatively weak.
.......
In the headquarters of the Sichuan 4th Division in Hanyuan County, an officer shouted,""Commander, urgent news. The 6th Regiment has been breached. The enemy has mobilized many armored vehicles!”
After Fan Shaozheng heard this information, he was suddenly a little absent-minded. The current situation was very unfavorable for them. The attack launched by the Red Police Corps was too fierce, especially when they took down the fighter jet and directly blew up their camp.
Although they didn't kill many people, they caused a huge mess in the camp, making it impossible for them to organize their troops to enter the camp to defend.
If the entire division had entered the formation, the enemy wouldn't be able to break through in such a short time even if they had armored vehicles.
"Pass down the order. Retreat the entire army. It's important to preserve our strength!”
"Yes, sir!"
Now, they could only retreat to Yingjing County behind them. Both lines of defense had been lost. If they did not retreat now, the entire 4th Division would fall here.
Now, only the enemy's armored vehicles had arrived, and their follow-up main force had yet to arrive. This was the best time to retreat, and also their only chance.
However, Fan Shaozheng had underestimated the speed of the Red Alert Division. Although the motorized troops were not as fast as the tanks in terms of off-road ability and road speed, they were not slow either. They were only about ten minutes away from the tanks.
Moreover, the 1st regiment commander had left the slow-moving artillery battalion behind, and had the 3rd battalion follow the artillery battalion. He himself led the 1st and 2nd battalions to advance quickly. When the tanks were killing in all directions in the camp, they had already arrived. The arrival of nearly 2000 people from the 2 battalions directly destroyed Fan Shaozheng's plan to retreat.
