Rumble! As the 10th Division was advancing, they suddenly heard a deafening roar of an engine.
The group of Japanese soldiers walking at the front immediately stopped. Before they could release the sentries to understand the situation.
The ear-piercing sound of cannonballs piercing through the air could be heard.
The Japanese soldiers looked up and saw dozens of cannonballs wrapped in flames streaking across the sky like meteors and flying toward them.
"Not good, it's an enemy attack!" Some of the Japanese screamed in horror, but it was too late.
Before they could escape, more than 20 tank shells came crashing down on them.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Twenty-one rounds of high-explosive grenades exploded violently in the midst of the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers who were still in the marching formation were instantly blasted into pieces, and a large number of them fell to the ground while screaming.
Isatani Rensuke was shocked by the sudden explosion. The driver of the armored vehicle he was in also hurriedly stepped on the brakes.
Without waiting for the armored vehicle to stop, Ishitani Rensuke and Chief of Staff Mei Cunwu opened the door and jumped out nervously.
Looking at the fire in front of him, Isoya Renjie frowned and asked,""What happened?"
Without waiting for Mei Cunwu's reply, a Japanese lieutenant rushed through the crowd from the front and saluted to Ishitani Renjie and Mei Cunwu.""Major General, Chief of Staff, the Imperial Army's vanguard has been attacked by the Chinese Army!”
"Nani?" Ishitani Rensuke and Ishitani Rensuke were shocked and looked at each other. Ishitani Rensuke was the first to speak,""Why are there Chinese soldiers here?"
"That's right. With Watanabe Masao leading the 7,000 Imperial Army, shouldn't the Zhina Army be defending Jining? Why are you here?" Plum Village Dock also said with a puzzled expression.
However, before they could finish speaking, another deafening explosion came from ahead.
That was the Tiger Regiment's tanks firing at them again. Two rounds of artillery fire, more than 40 shells, caused a devastating blow to the Japanese army in front.
The entire formation of the Japanese army was under attack, and many of them began to panic.
"Baka!" Isatani Rensuke was furious. Order the vanguard to counterattack immediately! The Artillery Regiment quickly set up their positions and prepared to suppress them!”
Plum Village Dock looked ahead with a miserable expression."General, I'm afraid it's too late. Look ahead!”
Upon hearing this, Isotani Renjie immediately looked up and was shocked. A group of tanks with Chinese flags were charging towards their vanguard.
"Where did all these tanks come from?”Looking at the Chinese tanks that were much larger than their own tanks, Isoya Renjie almost jumped up in shock.
Then, he reacted and immediately ordered,"Order the tanks to move out immediately!”
"Ha Yi!" Plum Village Dock and the lieutenant lowered their heads at the same time.
However, before the Japanese tanks could rush over, the Japanese soldiers in front had already been defeated by the powerful firepower of the Tiger Regiment's armored forces. They threw away their helmets and armor and scrambled to turn around and escape.
To a certain extent, this also affected the movement of the Japanese tanks behind them.
Many of the Japanese soldiers were chased down by the Tiger Regiment's armored troops as they fled.
There were people who were shot down continuously, and some were sent flying by the cannonballs, landing heavily on the advancing Japanese tanks. Their deaths were tragic.
Not long after, the thousands of infantry of the Japanese vanguard were killed and injured, and more than 20 Type 95 and Type 89 tanks of the Japanese tank brigade were finally able to pass through the defeated infantry.
They clashed head-on with the Tiger Regiment's tanks.
As soon as the two sides met, a few Japanese controlled a Type 95 tank and fired first!
Thump! An armor-piercing bullet whizzed out of the Type 95 tank's 37mm barrel and accurately hit a Leopard tank about 200 meters away. It exploded with a bang.
Although the front armor of the Leopard tank was slightly thinner than the Tiger, its defensive ability was far superior to the Tiger due to its large inclination design.
The Japanese's 37mm tank main cannon could not even penetrate the defensive armor of the German Type IV tank, let alone the Tiger and Leopard tanks.
Therefore, after the Japanese fired the armor-piercing bullet, it only left a small dent on the front armor of the Leopard tank. It could not penetrate the armor of the Leopard tank at all.
Seeing this scene, the few Japanese armored soldiers in the Type 95 tank were all dumbfounded.
However, they quickly regained their senses because the Panther tank that they had hit was like an enraged cheetah, firing back at them.
"Baka! Not good!" The Japanese tank captain roared in horror. He wanted to order his subordinates to control the tank to dodge, but it was too late.
Boom! The high-explosive armor-piercing bullet fired by the Leopard tank accurately penetrated their left front armor and suddenly exploded violently inside the tank.
The violent and powerful explosion instantly melted everything inside the tank. The few Japanese tanks did not even have time to scream before they disappeared.
