"Boom! Boom!"
At this moment, an explosion sounded from the camp outside the city. In the blink of an eye, the camp outside the city was engulfed in gunfire and smoke.
Monk Wei couldn't help but shout,"Commander-in-chief, these damn Japanese are firing!"”
Liu Chunlin frowned slightly, turned around, and said to Duan Peng,""Duan Peng! Go and ask! How are the preparations going for Yang Liqing and the others?”
"Yes, sir!"
Duan Peng hurriedly responded, turned around, and ran away.
After a while, Duan Peng ran back and said,""Commander-in-chief, Division Commander Yang said that the time is not ripe yet. We still need to wait!”
"In that case, I still have to continue pretending to be a grandson!”
Liu Chunlin said unhappily,"Why is this Yang Liqing so slow? He doesn't have the energy to do anything."”
"Division Commander Yang said that it takes time to mobilize the troops. How can they arrive so soon?" Duan Peng said with a smile.”
"That's true!"
Liu Chunlin nodded slightly and said,"Then let's wait a little longer!"
"Inform the brothers outside the city and have them rely on their positions to block the enemy's attack.”
"Yes, sir!"
……
Outside the city, at the Japanese camp, Cao Caochen had already raised his binoculars to observe. He sneered and nodded."Yo! The artillery fire was almost ready, and the infantry could start attacking.”
"Ha Yi!"
Caochang Chenyi's order was passed down as quickly as possible. At this time, the Japanese's attack team was ready. After receiving the order, they immediately launched an attack.
At this moment, the cannon fire had stopped, but the battlefield was still filled with thick smoke.
Tanks charged out from the Japanese's camp, swaying their heavy bodies as they slowly charged towards the Chinese National Defense Army's camp.
At the same time, a large number of Japanese infantry followed behind the tanks and attacked the Chinese army outside the city.
This time, the Japanese had deployed a brigade of tanks. There were more than 30 tanks in total, covering a brigade of Japanese infantry as they launched an attack.
This battalion of over 30 tanks was the so-called trump card of Cao Changchen.
This chariot unit was assigned to the 16th division. It had always been the vanguard of the 16th division. Along with Cao Cao Chen and the 29th regiment, they had conquered cities in North China and made quite a few contributions.
This unit was treated like a treasure by the Japanese. Their combat strength was not weak, but that was only when compared to the Chinese army that did not have any armored units and lacked anti-tank capabilities.
In other words, the combat strength of this tank brigade was not too strong. The reason why they were so powerful and fearless in China was mainly because the Chinese army lacked anti-tank weapons.
This was because the Japanese's chariot brigade did not live up to its name.
There were more than 30 tanks, and only 12 of them were Type 89 medium-sized tanks. It was just the Japanese's way of calling them medium-sized tanks.
This Type 89 tank only weighed 13 tons in total. It was equipped with a 57mm cannon, two Type 91 machine guns, and only 6- 17mm armor.
From this data, this Type 89 tank could only be considered a light tank.
This was still considered good! Apart from these 12 Type 89 tanks, the remaining 20 tanks were all Type 94 light tanks.
Strictly speaking, the Type 94 Light Tank was not even a tank.
This tank weighed only 3.2 tons and had a length, width, and height of 3*1.6*1.6 meters. (Nowadays, most cars are about four meters long and about the same width.）
With two members, the total combat weight was 3.4 tons.
The armor was only a pitiful 6- 12mm.
This meant that the thickness of the armor could only withstand ordinary bullets. If it was a powerful heavy machine gun, it could be penetrated by continuous firing at a certain distance.
Needless to say, the anti-tank rifle that was specially used to deal with tanks could pierce through two eyes with one shot.
Moreover, the Type 94 light tank was only equipped with a 6.5mm Type 91 machine gun or a 7.7mm Type 92 machine gun.
There were no tank cannons! There was only one machine gun!
This also meant that this tank could only deal with infantry. If it encountered strong fortifications, it would be useless.
If they encountered an enemy tank, Little Bean would be beaten up.
However, the Japanese treated such a large fleet of tanks as their treasure. They regarded them as their trump card. Under the cover of these tanks, the Japanese became even more arrogant.
Ask for the moon to float, ask for the moon to change.
