At the Wangjiatun camp, the Japanese army's 4th Brigade, the Takamura United, had more than 2,000 people marching over.
The 358th Regiment was helpless against the Wu Village United Army because they had an armored vehicle squadron!
A squadron of armored vehicles consisted of a total of 12 Type 92 armored vehicles. This type of armored vehicle was considered a small tank and was very hard.
The 358th Regiment did not have any anti-tank cannons, so they were helpless against the Japanese's advance. They could only retreat.
At this moment, Li Yun Tian had already led his troops to the Wang Jia Tun camp.
Regiment Commander Chu, you've worked hard." Li Yun Tian cupped his hands towards Chu Yun Fei.
"As an ally, it's only right for me to help. However, the Japanese's Iron Bastard was indeed a little troublesome. What did Commander Li plan to do?”Chu Yunfei asked Li Yun Tian.
"Humph, it's just 12 Iron Bastards. Even if it's 12 tanks, don't even think about passing through here today!”
Li Yun Tian said disdainfully.
The ZIS-376mm cannon in his hands was also useful against tanks. Although the effect was not that good, as long as there were enough shells, the tank would not be able to withstand it.
Moreover, this Type 92 Heavy Armored Vehicle was just a small tank. It could not be considered a real tank, and its defense was far inferior to a large tank.
Facing the unstoppable steel beast, Li Yun Tian's eyes were filled with disdain. Not to mention that it was just a small tank, even if a few T34s came, they would not be able to drive through here today!
"Order the artillery battalion to fire immediately and kill the Japanese's Iron Bastard!”Li Yun Tian ordered.
The artillery battalion received the order, adjusted their position, and immediately opened fire.
Tong tong!
Twelve cannons fired at the same time and accurately landed on the Japanese armored vehicle.
Rumble! Rumble!
The explosion was deafening. The power of the ZIS-376mm cannon was very terrifying. After a round of bombing, it stopped the armored vehicle from advancing.
However, the bombardment did not stop. Li Yun Tian was still very rich. He had plenty of cannonballs in his hands. He would still be rich after two more rounds of bombardment!
Another round of cannon fire landed. As the cannon fire stopped, Li Yun Tian and Chu Yun Fei could see it clearly.
The debris of the Japanese armored vehicles flew into the sky, indicating the destruction of the twelve armored vehicles!
At the back, a lieutenant ran up to Colonel Takemura.""Colonel, our armored vehicles…were…were destroyed!”
"How is that possible?" Senior Colonel Takemura's expression changed. How could the Chinese army have anti-tank cannons?”
But soon, Takemura calmed down. The enemy's entire regiment was equipped with submachine guns, so it was reasonable for them to have anti-tank cannons, right?
The order he received was the same as that of Colonel Yoshino, which was to recapture the saltpeter mine at Green Dragon Mountain at all costs!
Therefore, Commander Takemura had no choice but to order,""Order the 1st Infantry Battalion to attack!”
Following the order of the Wu Village commander, the first infantry brigade of the Wu Village regiment launched an attack on the Wangjiatun camp.
However, under the powerful firepower of the 358th Regiment and the 433rd Regiment, they could not attack either.
The battle was still going on. The Wu Village United Army attacked crazily, but they could not take down the enemy.
……
Taiyuan City, Shinozuka Yoshio's headquarters.
Battle reports were sent back to Shinozuka Yoshio's headquarters.
Shinozuka Yoshio looked at the battle report with an ugly expression.
He already knew that the Yoshino United Team had been wiped out, and he also knew that the Takemura United Team had lost more than half of their forces.
The Wu Village United Army had lost more than half of their forces, but they were still stuck in Wangjiatun, unable to move forward.
Twelve armored vehicles were destroyed. The enemy was well-equipped and had fierce firepower. If this continued, the Wu Village United Team might be wiped out.
There were only two regiments under the 4th regiment. Now, there was no one left. If the Wu Village United Team was destroyed, the Fourth Brigade would be gone as well.
Paying the price of an exploration team for a saltpeter mine was not worth it.
"Li! Clouds! Heavens!" Shinozuka Yoshio enunciated each word clearly, gritting his teeth as he uttered Li Yun Tian's name. At the same time, he issued an order,""Let the Takemura Regiment and the other troops retreat. The Yoshino Regiment has been completely annihilated. It's meaningless to continue fighting like this.”
In the end, Shinozuka Yoshio reluctantly gave up on the saltpeter mine.
Of course, it was only a temporary abandonment. In his opinion, whether it was the saltpeter mine, the entire northwest of Shanxi, or the entire Dragon Kingdom, it would be in the hands of the Great R Empire sooner or later.
The Japanese army retreated and the battle ended.
In this battle, the Japanese army lost about 5600 people.
Including the Jinsui Army, they lost about 2000 men.
The death toll of the 433rd Regiment was only 1200.
However, in the end, Li Yun Tian's reward was enough to make up for the loss this time.
10 tons of copper ore, 10 tons of iron ore, 20 88mm anti-aircraft guns, and one RPG-33 grenade production line.
There was a copper mine, an iron mine, and a saltpeter mine.
Now that Li Yun Tian had a production line for bullets and grenades, the bullets and grenades he lost this time could be replenished.
Although they had spent a lot of ammunition and lost a lot of people, Li Yun Tian could ask Yan Lao Xi to replenish them.
When the results of the battle were reported, Shen Changhe was shocked.
