When the Tank Brigade appeared in front of the main position of the Japanese Ninth Division, Kuanwei Matsuura, the commander of the Ninth Division, performed much better than the captain of Nishino. He did not foolishly ask what this was. He made a surprise voice from the enemy's direction: "Where is the Thirty-Two Regiment."

The 32nd Regiment no longer exists. The corps flag representing their honor has now fallen into the hands of Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the First Division. The small Japanese medical soldier who was ordered to protect the corps flag was kicked to the ground by several tall corps soldiers of the corps. Some of the officers were still aware of the goods. The corps flag was immediately sent to the division headquarters. Unfortunately, Zhang Zizhong had never studied in a Japanese military academy and did not know what the meaning of the corps flag meant. He actually threw this thing on the ground easily and stepped on it and spit out a sputum. As a result, when the corps flag was sent to the General Staff of the Northern Expedition Army, the always gentle deputy chief of staff, Jiang Fangzhen, pointed to the corps flag with a pale face and said, "Which bastard is this who left footprints on it and spit out sputum? How can I present it to the commissioner?"

Zhang Zizhong, who was usually full of tiger spirit, was so scared that he didn't dare to make a sound on the spot. He immediately ordered him to seize any Japanese military flags and swords. He would not be damaged. He would hand over the division headquarters to reward him. If any damage is found, he would be twenty military sticks.

As a result, a very strange scene occurred in the subsequent battle. As long as there were military flags or sabers, the soldiers of the young army would rush up and even fight for this.

After returning to the position of the Japanese Ninth Division, the Tank Brigade easily broke through the Japanese defense line. The officers and soldiers of the First Division and the 30th Division who followed the Tank Brigade rushed into the Japanese position without hesitation and fought with the Japanese army that had been disrupted. The breakthrough continued to expand. Lieutenant General Kusato Matsuura once planned to organize troops to fight the Chinese, but his efforts quickly ended in failure. The combination of tanks and submachine guns could not be resisted by the Japanese army's bravery. The tragedy of the Japanese army on the Pacific battlefield during World War II was staged again, and the Japanese army was defeated in front of the tanks of the Chinese army.

However, tanks and assault vehicles are also facing a problem, which is the Japanese military's combat discipline. Although the defense line has been broken, the Japanese army has not collapsed. The strong faith has made them still stick to the position. Even if there are no reinforcements, they will never give up their positions. They use all means to continuously kill and kill the infantry that follows. Some Japanese soldiers who have lost their hope of victory have even pulled out the grenades and slashed into the Chinese army. Even if they are shot a few times, they are like zombies in later science fiction movies. It is not too late to be killed. The officers and soldiers of the First Division and the 30th Division were irritated for a while. No matter how the officers urged them, they are unwilling to rush forward. Who is willing to fight with the madman? In addition, the Japanese artillery has also begun to show their power, cutting off the possibility of follow-up by the infantry, and the attack troops with a little loss have begun to disconnect.

As a result, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. Although the tank brigade easily rushed in, it was very dangerous because there was a lack of follow-up troops. Because no one was going to deal with the small Japanese soldiers who rushed over with cluster grenades for the tanks and armored vehicles. As a result, several armored assault vehicles caught fire and exploded on the spot after being bombarded several times in a row. When the commander of the tank brigade saw this, he immediately ordered the tank and assault vehicles to sway on the spot, and used the tank's 57mm running and the assault vehicles' machine guns to continuously bombard the Japanese army. Then, relying on the one thousand commandos holding submachine guns in his hand to form a defense line, constantly knocking down the Japanese army from all directions, but this is also extremely dangerous, because once the Japanese army rushed into the 60-meter radius In the encirclement, they would throw grenades without hesitation. In addition, the submachine guns were very consuming. Although the assault car carried ammunition, the consequences would be unimaginable once they were exhausted. After a simple argument, the three German advisers Guderian, Maninstein and Rommel, who followed Gu Zhutong to act together, unanimously decided to adopt Maninstein's method and not stay where they were beaten. Gu Zhutong was indeed doing good: "Tell me the order, and immediately organize the entire attack group to attack forward and strive to break through the Japanese defense line. If the Japanese army can persist, it doesn't matter if they break through again. I don't believe that their little Japanese can still be unwilling. As for the amount of the fools in the First Division and the Thirtyth Division, it is their own business. Who made them follow so unresolutely that they almost cheated me."

The Tank Brigade immediately started the engine and started assault. The armored assault vehicle was placed on the second side of the entire assault cluster according to the instructions. Relying on the machine guns on the vehicle, it kept firing Japanese soldiers trying to approach the convoy. Despite this, there were always intermissions, and there were always Japanese soldiers holding grenades and loading them up and exploded with a bang.

Wang Zhenhua, the son of Wang Longzhong, the then head of the First Tank Regiment of the Tank Brigade and vice chairman of the National Government, recorded this tragic scene truthfully in his post-war report: "The Japanese soldiers were like crazy madmen, and they didn't care about their lives at all. They didn't know how terrible death was. They just rushed towards us with bundles of grenades without fear of danger. We tried our best to stop their crazy actions with fire, but they still couldn't do it completely. From time to time, armored assault vehicles were hit and caught fire, and the soldiers in the car had to jump off the car to escape, because this big guy was really too unsolid. If all our armor was tanks, it would be useless even if the little Japanese exploded,"

The actions of the Tank Brigade immediately caused panic among the Japanese army. Although there were Japanese defensive positions in front of them, they were definitely unable to stop them, because all the heavy weapons were supporting the front line. When the division commander Kuanwei of Matsuura saw this situation, he immediately shouted to the staff beside him: "If these Chinese tanks were allowed to penetrate our defense, it would be troublesome. We would collapse all the way. I immediately ordered the artillery corps to ignore the frontline positions and turn around to bombard these tanks. I don't believe that they are not afraid of artillery, they must stop them."

The Japanese artillery level was really good. After receiving the order, he immediately held the shells with his shirtless arms and even tried to fire. He bombarded the area where the tank brigade was located with the fastest and most powerful firepower. Their results were also quite amazing. More than 40 armored assault vehicles were destroyed, and five tanks were hit and caught fire. The drivers of three of them failed to escape from the tank, causing the brigade commander Gu Zhutong to cry in pain. The tank brigade was panicked. At this time, the German consultant left and right came out. They went down to three regiments and directly helped Wang Zhenhua, Jiang Dingwen and others to command the troops to bypass the destroyed vehicles and continue to advance. In addition, Liu Zhi led the engineering regiment to contain the wounded soldiers and equipment damaged. The technicians, who have already had actual combat experience, did not all harm such bombardment. At least hundreds of Japanese soldiers who were about to die and the grenades in their arms also disappeared from the shelling. Gu Zhutong clearly wrote in a report that caused an uproar within the Military Commission after the war: "Because our army too emphasized the suddenness of tactics, they blindly ordered the tank brigade to attack without waiting for the artillery of the First Division and the 30th Division to come up and carry out fire cover. Although it did create huge results, the losses caused cannot be ignored. Therefore, as the commander of the entire tank unit, I cannot agree with Chief Bai's command this time."

The Japanese army attacking the tank brigade immediately cheered, and then they didn't care about mourning for their comrades who were accidentally injured. What they had to do now is to continue to organize suicide squads to rush forward with cluster grenades, but their good luck came here,.

"Buzz buzz, buzz,." Just as the shelling began, dozens of small black dots suddenly appeared in the sky not far away, but the small black dots quickly turned into big black dots, and the noise made was getting louder and louder. Finally, the fierce gunfire sound on the battlefield was not enough to cover it.

"What is this?" On the front line of the Japanese army, a young Japanese soldier was touching the blessing belt around his waist. Before he went to the battle, his mother and sister went to the street to ask passers-by to sew stitches. I don't know if he could survive the battle. When he returned to his hometown, he saw his mother and sister again. He originally thought that going to China was just to clean up some bandit troops with very low combat power, but in the battle just now, he was obviously besieged by these people, and the middle section of the front was obviously broken through. He was completely relied on the imperial samurai to barely block it with his life-deserving suicide attack. At this time, a huge noise came from the sky. The young soldier looked at the whistling fighter jet and asked the squadron leader beside him.

Just now, the squadron leader who was resting in the trenches looked at the sky with no strength: "This is an airplane. I saw this thing when I was in Tokyo. It was mainly used by the navy's pretentious guys to conduct reconnaissance, and it didn't work much."

"Is this our Japanese plane?" the young soldier asked with a little expectation. In fact, he wanted to ask the chief if we can win, but he was afraid of being scolded, so he didn't speak up.

The squadron leader nodded: "Of course it's our Japanese plane. How could a backward China be able to make such a good thing?"

So the Japanese soldiers were fighting hard and immediately cheered, but almost at the same time, the officers and soldiers of the First Division and the 30th Division of the Youth Army also saw the plane. They knew that this thing was from their side in Boshan yesterday, because the Chief of Staff, who was said to be a great man, was sitting in Boshan where this guy arrived, so they also cheered loudly. As a result, the Japanese soldiers were stunned.

In the end, the Japanese soldier who was eager to return home returned to his hometown forty years later. According to the National Assembly's resolution 112 of 1960, all Japanese soldiers who participated in the Battle of Shandong in 1919 will be cremated and returned to their hometown for burial.

These small black dots were actually a battle group led by General Yang Xianyi, composed of forty bombers and twenty fighter jets. Their target was only one, the Japanese artillery position, to find it and destroy it.
