The M4 Sherman medium tank was the tank most used by the Americans on the battlefields of World War II.

The system rewards early-stage tanks, and the artillery is a 75mm caliber gun.

It is also equipped with three 12.7mm caliber light machine guns.

Equipped with a 350-horsepower gasoline generator, the maximum speed is 38 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is 178 kilometers.

As soon as it was put into use, it played a huge role on the European battlefield, similar to the Soviet T34 tank...

Powerful and easy to mass produce...

The Expeditionary Force also used this tank to fight the Japanese...

"It seems...more armored forces will be built in the future..."

"Two tanks a month, and as time goes by, the number will gradually increase... It is possible to have dozens or even hundreds of tanks this year..."

"In a few years, will we be able to produce thousands of vehicles a year..."

Zhang Yunqing thought.

This is not imaginary, but very possible.

After all, the rewards of the system are becoming more and more abundant now.

And it's not limited to weapons and soldier rewards.

Production lines for various weapons also appeared.

And production technology.

For example, the production technical drawings of the T34 tank have been awarded before, but due to lack of resources, it is difficult to mass-produce them.

Now the system has rewarded another Sherman tank production line....

Can the production resources of the Sherman tank be applied to the T34 tank...

Zhang Yunqing doesn't know yet, so he can only go back and see after this battle...

The artillery fire continues to bombard...

Not stopping for a moment...

Not giving the devils any chance to breathe...

The Japs had never seen such an artillery attack before. They were running around...

I was afraid that I would be killed by the Eighth Route Army's artillery even a second late...

Wang Chengzhu is still directing.

"The field artillery camp... let me fire those thirty cannons more accurately... aim at the cannons of the little devils..."

"The 1st Heavy Artillery Battalion...your 105mm howitzers are mainly used to target the Japanese cars!"

"Second Heavy Artillery Battalion...Your 150mm caliber howitzer has the longest range...Don't let the Japanese escape comfortably..."

Of course, there are also the 12 Soviet 152mm caliber howitzers, which are much more powerful than the German 150mm caliber howitzers....

To be honest, these heavy artillery are still more suitable for attacking county towns, especially Yangquan County.

Taiyuan County cannot be opened with heavy artillery alone, more aircraft must be needed.

This is one of the reasons why Zhang Yunqing continued to fight against the little devils within half a year...

Kill the devils and explode the equipment.

Gradually, the 12th independent brigade, or the entire Eighth Route Army, will develop and grow.

If this war of resistance against Japan can end early, it must end early.

The common people cannot be allowed to endure another day of cruel torture...

Dozens of cannons fired together can crush even the smallest ants.

The battlefield is filled with smoke...

The Japanese ran to the left, and a shell fell on the left...

The Japanese run to the right again, and another cannonball will be fired at you from the right...

However, Hyakutake Harumaki has now regained his composure.

"This is the heavy artillery unit of the 12th Brigade... I have long heard that the 12th Brigade has always had aircraft and artillery. I didn't expect that we would encounter it today..."

"Order all soldiers... to retreat quickly... to build positions quickly!"

"Even if we have to defend to the death! We still have to wait for reinforcements to arrive!"

"Immediately write to General Yoshio Shinozuka of Taiyuan, saying that we were attacked by the 12th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army on the way to Xiyang County, which is Mazhuang... It is speculated that... they dispatched nearly 20 aircraft for this ambush.

Planes, and dozens of cannons..."

"Now the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade has suffered a lot of casualties...it is in urgent need of support from the Imperial Army and Air Force..."

"General Yoshio Shinozuka please make a decision as soon as possible..."

After saying that, Baiwu Qingxiang looked at the battlefield in front of him.

There are corpses everywhere...

There are broken limbs and broken arms everywhere...

This is like a hell on earth....

"Hi! Your Majesty Colonel!"

A Japanese major replied loudly.

"I still underestimated the strength of the 12th Independent Brigade... I shouldn't have come to Xiyang County in the first place... Even if I want to leave now, it will probably be very difficult..."

Although Hyakutake Harumaki is only the brigade commander of the fourth independent mixed brigade, he is also the supreme commander of the second-rate troops.

However, he was also the captain of an infantry brigade from a Class A division...

It also swept all opponents on the Chinese battlefield...

He also participated in the Marco Polo Bridge Incident...and was one of its officers...

The right-wing militarism in my heart is very strong...

"Since...your 12th Independent Brigade is so powerful...then let's just be like samurai and have a real competition..."

Baiwu Qingxiang looked at the battlefield in front of him and said.

At the same time, Zhang Yunqing here was also checking the current battle situation through the telescope...

"It seems...the Japs have no intention of retreating at all..."

"They want to go head-to-head with our 12th Brigade..."

However, Zhang Yunqing said this with a smile.

It can only be said that the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade really overestimated its own strength. A Japs unit with low combat effectiveness could only fight for the spirit of Bushido...

Although not all the troops of the 12th Brigade are ambushed in Mazhuang...

However, just a German-style group has a team of close to 4,000 people...

Not to mention the addition of Zhou Weiguo’s Fourth Regiment and Artillery Regiment, Long Yan Special Forces...

At least the number of people is 8,000, which is fine....

"Brigadier... The kid is probably just waiting for reinforcements... You see they are still building a position on the hilltop opposite..."

"We only have less than 4,000 troops... but they still want to resist us..."

The monk said disdainfully.

Now every soldier of the 12th Independent Brigade has confidence.

This kind of confidence is not only brought to them by sufficient weapons and equipment...

It is also the military temperament cultivated by Zhang Yunqing...

Just imagine, with such excellent equipment, we can win battles against the Japs time after time...

Isn’t this self-confidence established...

"Since we want to delay the fight... we must do the opposite..."

"Give me the order..."

"Continue the attack!"
