The final battle between the Japanese Nanzhi Warriors Brigade and the Eighth Route Army's armored troops was beyond the expectations of all parties.

The Japanese are very cautious and strict.

At first, a so-called armored corps of detachments rose rapidly under the eyes of the Japanese. Then, during the surprise attack on Datong and the battle between Luxilu, the armored unit of the Eighth Route Army was completely exposed to the Japanese army's vision.

The Japanese also conducted quite detailed intelligence investigations on the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army.

It also judged the number of mechanized combat vehicles, types of vehicles, the strength of the artillery attached to the so-called mobile unit of the Eighth Route Army, etc.

However, since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army has shown poor equipment level.

The Japanese believed that the so-called Eighth Route Army mobile troops had limited armored combat vehicles and they only dared to carry out some thieves and harassment operations.

Datong was attacked because the unit caught the 26th Division off guard and launched a surprise attack while the main force of the 26th Division headed south.

As for the fact that the Western Lu were penetrated in the middle and western Lu, it was also because there were no elite Japanese armored forces in the middle and western Lu.

This made the Eighth Route Army's mobile unit rampant all the way.

Many Japanese officers arrogantly believed that once the so-called mobile unit of the Eighth Route Army and the so-called armored combat unit of the Great Japanese Empire collided with the chariot troops of the Great Japanese Empire, they would be destroyed in an instant.

There is absolutely no second result.

After all, the Japanese army underestimated the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army in the past two years.

It even underestimated the rapid response troops directly under the Eighth Route Army's Taihang Army, especially the elite armored troops, quickly accumulated combat power.

How could the Japanese know that the Eighth Route Army, especially the first team and the new Second Regiment led by Li Yunlong, have been focusing on building elite armored troops for the past six months.

To this end, the armored troops training carried out in the base area is in full swing.

All the armored soldiers were elite veterans drawn from the first team, the New Second Regiment, the New First Regiment and even the entire Taihang Eighth Route Army.

Basically, they all have cultural heritage.

Many veterans graduated from some cultural courses offered by the first team.

In the subsequent training, everyone also mastered the theory of armored warfare quite quickly.

As for actual armored soldiers training, Kong Jie spent a lot of money and didn't play any fancy ones at all.

The environment for everyone to train is much better than when the Central Army trained the armored troops.

Warriors can directly use training tanks for practical operation training.

In order to master solid combat experience of armored soldiers as soon as possible, soldiers even kept eating, drinking, defecating and urinating near the tank.

Everyone raced against time to enhance their experience in driving tanks, and at the same time trained various coordinated tactics, such as joint tactics of the ins and tanks, artillery and tanks, and various coordinated tactics between tanks and tanks, tanks and mobile units.

From this perspective, it can even be said that the soldiers are waiting for the opportunity to fight against the elite armored troops of the Japanese. I don’t know how long they have been waiting.

After the decisive battle between the two sides broke out, the soldiers put in full strength.

I have been bullied by the Japanese tanks for so many years.

Now, the feng shui has finally changed.

Modified chariots, enhanced artillery, skilled driving skills, and superb coordinated tactics.

The soldiers drove various combat vehicles and armored vehicles belonging to the Eighth Route Army, galloping indulge in the flat and open plateau terrain of the western Mengxi area.

...

"The Fifth Squadron is in an emergency and requests for quick reinforcements!"

"The Sixth Light Tank Squadron requests tactical guidance!"

"The First Tank Search Brigade was attacked by the main armored forces of the Eighth Route Army, and there were heavy casualties."

"Sir!"

"Sir..."

Bad news followed one after another, and the old Japanese man Nan Nanzhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

The chariot brigade of the great Japanese Empire!

On the day of confrontation with an armored unit like the Eighth Route Army, which was once a beggar team, it was about to collapse.

Defeat is like a mountain falling down!

Everything came caught the old Japanese devil Nan Zhi off guard.

At this time, the entire Nanzhi tank cluster was not concentrated. For six days, I was chasing the raiding small armored troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese chariots were already scattered unconsciously by the nose.

It was too late when Nanzhi noticed it.

After the battle broke out, the Eighth Route Army immediately cut off the transport teams of the Nanzhi Chariot Cluster and contacted the chariots of each branch.

The fuel supply of Japanese tanks was completely cut off.

When the modified tanks and fierce artillery strength of the Eighth Route Army were completely unfolded, the Japanese who were beaten to the point of being almost unable to raise their heads realized the reversal of the situation and honestly began to retreat.

The originally arrogant pursuer soon became a messy and panicked escapee.

However, the situation immediately was different from the situation where the Japanese army pursued the Eighth Route Army's armored forces.

When the Japanese were pursuing the Eighth Route Army's fleeing armored troops, the Eighth Route Army's armored troops ran very fast and could set up traps along the way from time to time.

At present, the roles of both sides have been alternating.

As the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army were chasing, the Japanese tanks, whose fuel was almost exhausted, soon retreated and finally bottomed out.

"His squadron leader, our tank is almost out of fuel!!!"

Still on the way to escape, this bad news came.

The Japanese squadron leader of the Japanese medium-sized combat chariot squadron led by the team stood on the top of a 97-modified medium-sized command chariot. Looking back, you can see the Eighth Route Army's chariot that was still pursuing not far away.

He realized that something was wrong.

After pushing forward for a full six days, the imperial chariots chased the Eighth Route Army's armoured vehicles that fled, and the pursuit was too deep.

The front line was pulled for hundreds of kilometers in one breath.

The entire Mengxi area is mostly flat and open plain terrain, which is especially suitable for combat chariots and troops.

It would take at least one or two days to retreat to the base camp if they wanted to withstand the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.

But this fuel that is about to bottom out cannot last for such a long time.

The transport troops sent by the brigade commander to reinforce did not appear in time.

I'm afraid I can't wait for this fuel.

"asshole!"

The Japanese squadron leader cursed, and the adjutant beside him was also a little anxious: "Sir, what should we do? If we continue to escape like this, we will sooner or later be caught up by these Eighth Route Army because of exhaustion of fuel.

At any point, our tanks will run out of fuel and will completely lose their mobility. I am afraid there will be no chance to fight back!"

In the end, what else can the two old Japanese figures do together?

Fight!

While there is the last fuel, ensure the mobility of the tank.

Otherwise, once the fuel is exhausted, the chariot that loses its mobility and a pile of unmovable and bulky scrap iron will be no different, and it will only become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Soon, the Japanese chariots turned around and set up their formations to fight against the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army.

On the other hand, the company commander of the Third Company of the First Armored Corps led by the first team saw the Japanese looking back at the battle, and the excitement on his face became even stronger.

"Haha, comrades, this Japanese devil is obviously anxious and won't run away. Our chance is here!"

In the subsequent armored war between the two sides, the third company commander had no fancy style of playing.

It's quite a meaning of repeating history.

Seeing that the Japanese chariots were placed in a area in a concentrated area, it seemed that they were ready to fight to the death, considering that the frontal impact might cause unnecessary casualties.

The third company commander directly ordered to use the more advantageous mobility of his tanks to attack into three routes, one route from the front general attack to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and the other two routes detour from the flanks, and with the help of the raised terrain on both sides, hiding the Japanese chariot troops on three sides, strangling the Japanese chariot troops on three sides.

What a pity!

This is completely different from the situation when the Japanese chariot squadrons strangled a team of armored soldiers in a company.

The first company commander deliberately set up a trap at that time, deliberately waiting for the Japanese to divide their troops and strangle them, and then took the opportunity to destroy the Japanese chariot troops.

The Japanese medium-sized chariot squadron in front of him was just chased to the end of his journey and could only be forced to start the final decisive battle.

There is basically no suspense when the battle reaches this point.

According to the deployment of the third company commander, before the soldiers on both sides attacked the Japanese chariot from the flanks, they used coordinated self-propelled artillery to launch several rounds of gunfire into the area where the Japanese chariots were concentrated.

The devils were bombarded unilaterally.

The smoke that filled the Japanese army has not yet dissipated.

With the order of the third company commander, the Eighth Route Army's chariots and armored vehicles, strangled from three sides, went down the mountain like tigers and rushed towards the Japanese chariot squadron.

So awake, seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Japanese squadron leader shouted "Long live the emperor", and then led the rest of the Japanese to resist to the death with a look of despair.
