If it was really reinforcements, then he was at a huge disadvantage now!
"Looking at their clothes, they look exactly like the soldiers of the 108th Brigade. We didn't dare to get close. From afar, there were at least two to three hundred tanks in front, and there was probably more than a regiment of infantry behind them!”The scout captain reported to Kudo Ichiro.
"What is it? Two to three hundred tanks? How is that possible?" Kudo Ichiro was shocked.
What was the concept of two to three hundred tanks?
This was the first time Kudo Ichiro had heard of so many tanks!
In 1937, how many tanks did a Class A division in Japan have? In truth, there were very few of them. Some didn't even have a division.
There was only one tank squadron in each division. This squadron only had 14 tanks, usually 8 tanks and 6 armored vehicles. A division only had so few tanks? This was the current situation.
The main reason was that the firepower of the Japanese army was already one of the best in Asia, and they had not developed the combat potential of the tank at all. From a global perspective, Japan's tanks were obviously lagging behind.
At that time, among the countries in Asia, only the island country could independently manufacture tanks. It could be said that there was no rival in Asia. Naturally, the tanks could only be used to support infantry. However, when the Pacific War broke out in 1941, the island country realized that there was always someone better. In the Pacific battlefield, the island country was almost chased by the American Sherman tank.
At that time, the Japanese realized that their tanks were too weak. Tanks and infantry were actually so powerful. Therefore, the Japanese finally began to seriously develop new tanks, but it was already too late...
Therefore, how could Kudo Ichiro not be shocked when he heard that there were hundreds of tanks?
If it weren't for the fact that it was daytime, he would have thought that he was dreaming!
"Major General, what should we do now?”Advisor Jing Zhiyuan asked.
"What else can we do? Pass down the message and have the artillery regiment at the rear turn their cannons to this side, ready to fire at any time. Also, pull up our six 37mm anti-tank cannons! Also, pull our chariot squadron over!”Kudo Ichiro said in a deep voice.
Why did the Japanese have so few anti-tank cannons?
On the Chinese battlefield, there were only about 100 tanks in total. Most of them were old tanks, so the Japanese did not have many anti-tank cannons because they did not need them!
However, at this time, in Europe and America, especially the M Nation, an infantry division was equipped with 36 anti-tank cannons!
This was the difference!
"Ha Yi!" At this moment, Kudo Ichiro felt that even if the number of enemy tanks sounded terrifying, he felt that it was just a little too many tanks. As long as he planned and commanded properly, he could still annihilate the enemy!
The main reason was that he guessed that the enemy was coming at him menacingly. They probably did not bring any heavy artillery with them. Without the support of heavy artillery, he was not afraid.
Indeed, Kudo Ichiro was right. Li Hu did not bring any heavy artillery, but the city had started to bombard.
Moreover, to deal with these 10,000 Japanese, they only needed tanks to charge forward. They did not need any heavy artillery support at all, unless they were attacking the city! But now, they were in the wilderness.
If Kudo Ichiro had seen what lightning combat was like and how powerful the tank-step coordination was, he would have chosen to run away by now.
Unfortunately, he had never seen it before because the blitzkrieg had not been invented yet. It would take another two years for it to appear in front of the world.
……
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, Li Hu's 310 tanks and 7000 infantry were only 2 km away from the 8th division.
"The tanks and infantry have already set up their formation!”A cloned soldier reported to Li Hu.
"Very good, start attacking!"
"Yes."
Boom! The tanks roared as they charged towards the Japanese's camp. Suddenly, yellow sand filled the sky.
Opposite him.
Kudo Ichiro's eyelids twitched when he saw more than 300 tanks charging towards him!
He had never seen so many tanks fighting together!
"Let our cannons fire!"
"Ha Yi!"
"Get our warriors at the front line ready. The suicide squad must also be ready. We must blow up the enemy tanks.”
"Ha Yi."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Finally, the Japanese started firing at Li Hu's tanks.
It had to be said that such a concentrated barrage of artillery fire posed a threat to a small portion of the tanks.
However, in Jinzhou City, Li Hu's artillery also began to support the Japanese. They began to fire at the Japanese's artillery positions.
In an instant, the two sides once again engaged in a battle of cannons!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The tanks were neither fast nor slow, allowing the infantry behind them to keep up.
"Mortars, fire!" The Japanese's mortars also began to fire at Li Hu's tanks.
However, since the tank was moving, the hit rate was terrifyingly low!
In addition, even if some mortars hit the tanks, they might not break through their defenses.
This made the Japanese realize that something was wrong!
"Are the anti-tank cannons loaded?”Hasegawa, the squadron leader of an artillery regiment, asked his subordinates.
"I'm done loading."
"Yuxi, the enemy tanks have already entered a distance of 1000 meters. Open fire immediately and kill them!”
"Ha Yi!"
At this moment, the Japanese were equipped with Type 94 37mm anti-tank cannons!
Bang bang bang!
The six Anti-Tank Missiles opened fire!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of air being torn apart rang out.
The Japanese's artillery skills were not bad. After testing the 6 anti-tank cannons, two of them actually hit two tanks!
Boom!
Boom!
"Hahahaha, Yuxi, we hit two tanks!”An artillery squad leader cheered.
But in the next second, they couldn't laugh anymore.
The two T34 tanks that were hit were unharmed and continued to move forward!
The anti-tank shell only left a black mark on the front armor.
"Baka, what happened? Unable to penetrate the Chinese tank?" Hasegawa was dumbfounded.
