Matsumoto's suspicion is of course reasonable. This is not only because of the figures of fighter planes appearing in the sky, but also because of the faint sound of artillery from the south... It is impossible for the guerrillas to have heavy artillery, and even the Japanese army cannot make such a heavy artillery.

Therefore, Matsumoto asked Yamashita Lieutenant General several times to change the reinforcement plan and wait until the reconnaissance is clear.

But Yamashita Fumiyama did not take Matsumoto's warning to heart. He cursed at Matsumoto on the phone: "What's going on with you? It's just a reinforcement mission. All you have to do is to rush to Lushun in the shortest time and solve the trouble. Do you understand!"

"Yes!" Matsumoto responded helplessly, and had to wave his hand to continue ordering the troops to advance.

Yamashita Fumio's stubbornness and underestimation of the enemy actually pushed Matsumoto's 201 Regiment into the fire pit... But in fact, even Matsumoto did not expect that the enemy he was facing was such a strong opponent. Otherwise, even if he disobeyed the order, he would not continue to move forward.

The Japanese army's marching sequence was three-wheeled reconnaissance in front, and then followed by batches of main forces carried by cars... Such equipment can be said to be shabby compared to the Chinese Expeditionary Force. There were not even a light tank in front, and even the main force behind only had three tanks.

However, this is very normal for the Japanese army... In the Northeast, they most often deal with guerillas and people's riots, and the equipment has to be used by the Japanese army on the front battlefield, so it is good to be able to get enough cars now.

Not long after, the convoy of the Matsumoto United drove into a sorghum field. Of course, this sorghum field was already desolate, and in addition to weeds, there were sorghum poles that were cut down... This was not only because it was winter, but also because the Japanese army had accumulated grains and harvested grains everywhere for the "Operation No. 1". At this time, if there were any crops in the fields of Manzhou State, it would be strange.

More than a dozen side three-wheelers were driving fast in front. Perhaps because the weather was a little cold, the Japanese army wanted to arrive at their destination quickly to end the hard journey, so they passed through the open space like arrows, and then turned along the highway into a hill.

However, the next scene made the Japanese army almost unable to believe their eyes...

Behind the hills are full of tanks and armored vehicles, on the roads, in the sorghum fields, behind the grass... and these tanks are all steel giant beasts that I have never seen before. Behind these tanks are soldiers holding rifles like wolves and tigers.

This scene scared several Japanese drivers to slow down their heads on the spot, and the two side three-wheelers immediately lost control and rushed out of the road and overturned on the side of the road.

The other three wheels could not stop collide with each other. What's even more ironic is that the leading three wheels even hit the enemy's tanks. Then the enemy's black gun barrels and muzzles were quickly aimed at their heads, which scared them so much that they raised their hands.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese soldiers behind immediately dropped the three-wheeled side wheel that had already been smashed into a ball, rolled and crawled, and ran to the rear...

The Chinese team was fully capable of killing them at this time, but they did not do so... Anyway, these enemies were already ducks, so they were not in a hurry to deal with them.

Therefore, when the Japanese troops kept warning the main force behind in the other direction of the corner, the Chinese team started the tank under Wu Yuhang's order... The tank was not started before because they were worried that the Japanese army would not enter the trap when they heard the sound.

Then, as Wu Yuhang waved his hand forward, the tank troops drove forward with all their might.

Colonel Matsumoto felt that something was wrong at the first time, so he immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and prepare for the fight... But when he heard the sound of a motor at the corner, he couldn't help but open his mouth halfway and couldn't close for a long time.

"That's not the sound of a tank, right?" Colonel Matsumoto said to himself: "How is this... possible?!"

Matsumoto didn't believe it, so he did not order the troops to retreat.

In fact, even if he ordered a retreat at this time, it was too late, because there had been a burst of gunfire and explosions behind him, and the way for the Japanese army to retreat had been blocked.

Then, tanks followed one by one from the corner in the terrifying eyes of the Japanese army... There were more than thirty cars, which were emitting black smoke and were spinning the turrets from time to time but did not fire. It seemed that they were expressing some disdain for the Japanese soldiers in front of them.

All the Japanese troops were stunned. Imai General looked back at Matsumoto and said, "God of Colonel, we... did not carry anti-tank weapons!"

Matsumoto looked at Imai incredibly. He didn't understand why he hadn't replaced this idiot until today... His troops had never had any anti-tank weapons. If there were, there would be a few pitiful anti-tank guns, but those anti-tanks were not enough to pose a threat to the tanks of the enemy in front of him.

"What should I do?" Matsumoto heard a subordinate screaming in panic: "Christian Colonel, what should I do now?"

"Grenade!" Matsumoto yelled: "There are explosive packs, be sure to block these tanks!"

"Yes!" the Japanese army responded, but the voice was trembling and faint.

And these are not finished. Just as the Japanese army was preparing for battle with fear... a considerable reason why these Japanese troops still had the courage to prepare was that they were as ignorant as Imai staff. They didn't know how powerful the "Sheerman" tank was, so they thought they could repel the enemy with grenades, explosives packs and mortars.

It's not their fault, because most of them come into contact with the tanks of their own or the best in their lives, so in their world, tanks can indeed be repelled with these, and even machine guns can be used to penetrate their armor...

But the few fighter jets whizzing through the sky completely lost their confidence.

The battle started the moment the fighter plane dived. The originally calm sorghum field suddenly exploded with shells and bullets, tank guns, machine guns, rifles, artillery troops laid behind, and several fighter jets in the sky to intercept the Japanese retreat... The entire sorghum field was beaten like a boiling pot of porridge.

A few minutes later, the Japanese army could no longer care about Matsumoto's orders. Even if Matsumoto shouted, "Don't retreat! You cowards!" and even waved his pistol to knock one escaped Japanese army to the ground, it could not stop the Japanese army's collapse at all.

The reason is very simple. Every Japanese army, including Matsumoto, understands that under the gap between equipment and situation, any resistance is futile.
