Tao Zhenyu reorganized the troops. Tanks and most of the wheeled combat vehicles or half-track vehicles equipped with 75mm cannons were deployed on both sides of the town. Wheeled combat vehicles equipped with 57mm artillery and machine guns were mainly deployed in the city.

Vehicles and mortar teams were deployed in the city, and howitzers were deployed about 3 kilometers away from the town. Less than an hour after China completed its preparations, the German forward had already appeared in the northwest of the town.

It's about 3 kilometers away.

"It seems that China is planning to end it with us here!" Colonel Baker said to his subordinates after receiving the intelligence sent back by the frontline investigators. "From the current point of view, it has been about 3 months since China occupied this place.

hour, the town itself is not big, but there is a small hill in the southeast of the town.

There is a forest in the northeast, which brings a lot of trouble to our outflanking. The number of howitzers and mortars we carry is limited, and the ammunition is even less. If we wait for the troops behind us to come up, I am afraid we will have to wait until

It's night, and then they have the opportunity to retreat under the cover of darkness. It's really difficult to do."

The Germans can easily see through Tao Zhenyu's plan, but unfortunately, even if you see through it, you still have to jump into the battlefield laid out by the opponent! According to the map, the roads in the town are not wide, and the Germans know that the opponent

Have a weapon that can destroy tanks at close range

rocket weapons. Therefore, bulky tanks are naturally not suitable for use in street fighting. After some thinking, the Germans decided to use light armored vehicles and assault guns to cover the infantry to attack the town, while the tank troops attacked the southeast from both sides.

The high ground then cuts off the opponent's retreat.

1200 meters! Fire! Two platoons of No. 3 assault guns lined up and fired dense shells at the town in the distance. These assault guns equipped with 105mml24 howitzers were used as infantry support firepower in the German army.

Used

The Chinese have a good grasp of distance. At this distance, even if the opponent deploys tanks in the city, they cannot effectively destroy the No. 3 assault gun. On the one hand, it is because the distance is too far and the accuracy is poor, and on the other hand, the new No. 3 assault gun

The assault gun has additional armor.

Assault artillery fire preparations. Engineers went up to clear mines, and then light armored vehicles took the lead into the town, followed by armored grenadiers. In order to ensure the fire suppression capability, the Germans even brought in several 20mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. But when the Germans

After people entered, they found that this town was completely different from the one on the map! The obstacles on the road directly cut off the way forward. The Germans who had just arrived were immediately dizzy!

A German Weasel-type light tank appeared on the street corner. Although it was equipped with a 30mm machine gun suitable for street fighting, it was a pity that the elevation angle of its gun mount was too low. The elevation angle of only 25 degrees made it difficult for it to reach the ambush target.

In order to ensure firepower in a high-rise building, the crew was forced to open the hatch and operate the MG machine on the roof.

The guns are ready to suppress fire points that may appear at any time. The infantry nearby are also very alert. The machine gun team carefully enters the nearby building under the cover of the infantry. After confirming that it is safe, the doors and windows are reinforced to turn it into a temporary fire point. Everything

Everything was carried out according to the street fighting tactics manual, and the German attack was very orderly.

"What's the saying? The higher you stand, the harder you fall! It's impossible to look at the top without looking at the bottom of your feet!" Sun Yanming clearly marked the opponent's position on the map based on the guard post's report.

The other party has entered the coffin prepared by China for them, so now it is time to close the coffin lid!

"Let's start!" Sun Yanming motioned to an engineer next to him. Then, the engineer decisively pressed the detonation button! A few seconds later, bursts of deafening explosions came from the road leading to the center of the town.

Buildings on both sides of the road fell one after another like dominoes. The collapsed buildings, the German soldiers in the buildings, and the wheeled vehicles on the road were all destroyed by the collapsed buildings. Some people even saw some people in the buildings.

Some people were thrown into the air and then smashed down hard! The sound of collapsing buildings and the screams of soldiers instantly filled the entire battlefield. The Germans only paid attention to whether there were enemy troops or booby traps laid in the buildings, but they did not pay any attention to them.

Think of a building made of wood and stone that can itself be used as a weapon. These buildings are very inexplicable. A small amount of cyclone explosives placed in the right place can blow up an entire building and a squad of infantry inside!

China spent some effort to set up this trap. In order to ensure concealment, all wires and explosives were buried underground. In order to ensure that the bomb would explode, many key explosion points also prepared backup detonating devices.

Now, when less than half of the accompanying infantry were killed and the remaining infantry were overwhelmed by the dust and smoke, the Chinese army's counterattack began. "Just control the scene.

Come on, don't rush to attack!" A series of explosions changed the entire terrain. The piles of ruins not only buried a large number of German troops, but also provided bunkers for the remaining people. Although the infantry suffered heavy losses, the various units with armor protection

This type of armored vehicle did not have much impact. The well-trained German army could still rely on the ruins and remaining heavy weapons to resist. If a reckless charge was launched at this time, it would be in vain.

"The main force is preparing to block the intersection. Let's knock out the enemy's reinforcements first." Encircling a point to bring reinforcements is a very common strategy. It is also a very effective strategy. More than a dozen combat vehicles of various types and a reinforced company of infantry can be used.

If you are trapped like this, it is impossible not to save you. But this time the Germans finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

, and put in tanks as the spearhead of the attack! "Pull this city down!" This was the order given by Baker to the troops. More than a dozen tanks came over in a majestic manner under the cover of howitzers and assault guns. 75mm artillery

It continued to spit out deadly flames, and the buildings in the distance were blown to pieces one by one.

800 meters, 600 meters, 400 meters! When the No. 4 tank penetrated deep into the town, streams of flames suddenly shot out from the bunkers close to the ground. These bunkers were specially modified and were open at the back to allow

Among them, 90mm has no recoil

The gun can be used normally. Although the range of the armor-piercing projectile used by the recoilless gun is limited, the power is definitely not exaggerated! The vertical armor penetration depth of up to 150mm is enough to penetrate all the armor on the front of No. 4. Of course, the premise is that the shell fuse is not

If something goes wrong!

At least 12 recoilless guns spurted out flames. At least 8 of them hit the target, but the final result was quite tragic. 3 Two tanks were completely destroyed, and the other 2 seemed to have their tracks broken! The Germans searched hard

Targeting the opponent's firepower point, but suddenly discovered that due to the terrain and insufficient artillery depression angle, a huge part of the recoilless gun position was exposed.

Outside the range of artillery fire, when the infantrymen tried to use machine guns and mortars to clear out these anti-armor units, grenades fired from the northeast exploded in the German battle formation! And as the Germans watched

Wherever they were, light armored vehicles began to circle around to the flanks, and then aimed their black 6-pound guns at the side armor of the German tanks!

The situation seemed to be clear, and Sun Yanming thought he could control the whole situation. But soon, Tao Zhenyu's telegram made him nervous again! The German troops outflanked on both sides began to detach a part of their troops to launch a centripetal assault on the city. Huaxia

There were not many troops to block the attack, and there were not many in the city. Although Sun Yanming blocked the opponent's first wave of attacks, the German army with a huge numerical advantage could still

Calmly crushing the opponent with absolute power. The only 75mm howitzer unit that could provide long-range fire support for Sun Yanming was also suppressed by the opponent. Sun Yanming clearly saw through the telescope the lines rising up on the German rear positions.

Flame! The German rocket launchers have finally begun to be installed in large numbers! Although the range does not seem to be as far as that of China, it is still enough to suppress the 75mm short-barreled howitzer.

Also falling with the rockets were German 150mm self-propelled howitzer shells. The dense rain of bullets quickly exploded the artillery position with only 6 howitzers into the moon's surface. Except for one self-propelled howitzer that moved quickly and managed to escape into the sky.

, the remaining 5 artillery pieces were destroyed within 5 minutes. The first corner of Tao Zhenyu's Z-shaped defense line was easily removed by the Germans.

However, although the Germans' approach increased the pressure on the defenders in the city, it weakened their flank strength. Tao Zhenyu still had at least 18 usable tanks in his hands, in addition to a certain number of tanks equipped with 75mm cannons.

Type armored vehicle. Shortly after some German vehicles penetrated into the town, Tao Zhenyu finally moved, and the tanks began to attack the German tank troops from the side of the mountain. Most of the wheeled tanks were ambushing on the other side to block possible reinforcements from the opponent.

"The opponent does not have a No. 4 tank destroyer or a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. It is safe!" For the Chinese armored forces, they have an obvious psychological advantage over the No. 4 tank. This is Tao Zhenyu's first time with the opponent since he went deep behind enemy lines.

The armored forces engaged in frontal combat, and both sides discovered each other almost at the same time. Then, Huaxia's high-speed armor-piercing projectiles roared in! At a distance of 800 meters, Huaxia used high-speed armor-piercing projectiles.

The Xia tank can easily penetrate the opponent's front. Even if the distance is further away, the opponent's turret armor can be knocked open at a distance of 1000 meters. The opponent wants to penetrate the front of the Type 29 tank and needs to get closer to 600 meters! If you count

If additional manganese steel tracks or additional armor are installed on the front, I am afraid that this distance will change to less than 500 meters! The huge gap between offense and defense makes China very handy in this firefight.

"They dispatched all their troops. This is an opportunity!" When news reached Baker's ears that the tank troops on the outskirts were being attacked by the opponent, he decisively ordered the entire army to attack. However, due to the miserable terrain, the follow-up troops

The width of the expansion was not large. In the subsequent battle,

The battle between the German Weasel and the Chinese wheeled tank destroyer is also fresh in the memory of the Germans. The turret of the Chinese wheeled tank destroyer is located relatively far back to balance the extra weight brought by the increased armor in the front. The Germans generally

prefer to use

Mk103 30mm cannon. In order to ensure frontal safety, China deliberately increased the upper armor of the armored vehicle to 40mm and tilted it at 50 degrees. This means that unless the opponent uses expensive tungsten alloy high-speed armor-piercing projectiles, it will be difficult to penetrate.

The tongues of flame fired by the 30mm machine cannon swept past like long whips. When they hit the thick sloped armor, sparks popped up. Naturally, the Germans did not expect that the opponent's wheeled tank was so strong, but the opponent's slender 75mm gun was enough

Destroy all the vehicles with turrets in the current German army! Whether it is the No. 4 tank or the wheeled combat vehicle!" Put the front few

Kill this vehicle, and then we retreat!" After all, the Germans still have a numerical advantage, and they also have a lot of supporting firepower. Under the all-round attack of the opponent's tank guns, machine guns and mortars, Chinese wheeled armored vehicles also appeared.

In addition to the unlucky ones named by the 75mm artillery, there were also some whose suspension systems were destroyed by shrapnel from near misses.

"The situation is a little out of control!" Soon, both Baker and Tao Zhenyu realized this. The scene was too chaotic, and there were enemies among us and among us! However, as Tao Zhenyu blew up the No. 4 tanks one after another,

The entire situation gradually became clearer, and the supporting German troops were overwhelmed by the various debris lying on the road and the mines laid.

were hindered and unable to move forward, and the Chinese tank force finally restored the 14 tanks left on the flanks to parts after paying the price of 6 tanks, and successfully took the retreat of the German tanks that rushed into the city. Both sides

The battle lasted for nearly three hours and finally stopped when the sun went down.

After the battle, Tao Zhenyu was finally able to use the night to evacuate safely. However, this time the troops shrunk on a large scale again. Almost all the light armored vehicles were lost, and there was only one company of tanks left! According to the original plan, he could evacuate overnight.

As long as the speed of 8 kilometers per hour can be maintained, then the next day you can reach the cover of your own air force. "Is it over like this?" When leaving, Tao Zhenyu said to himself facing the night sky. To be honest,

He was not very satisfied with his performance this time!

"It's over! You guys are kidding, I'm still hiding in Tibet!" At this time, in a corner of Zaiyuanli battlefield, Meng Yan was still hiding in Tibet with his last two tanks and a few infantry fighting vehicles.

Their situation is much more unlucky than that of Tao Zhenyu! Not only are they isolated and helpless, but they are also in danger.

The ammunition and fuel are basically exhausted. The only two tanks that survived seem to be of little use. The remaining diesel fuel should be left for the wheeled vehicles. Open the ammunition compartment, place the shells on the artillery and engine, and then Meng Yan

Decisively threw a grenade inside with a delay of more than 5 seconds!

"I thought that sooner or later I would be killed or caught by the Germans. Without the tank, there was not much ammunition left in the tank. The remaining period of time could be described as hiding in Tibet. I even made a bet with myself that the Germans would

When will people find us! But I most

I survived in the end, is this luck or good luck?" Meng Yan once said after returning to the army. In fact, this was both his luck and the change of the battlefield situation! Neither Meng Yan nor Tao Zhenyu expected that

This operation will have such a big impact on the war!
