Chapter 271 The first time of the most tragic defeat (the first chapter is here today)
At this moment, the crowd watching the battle at Sihang Warehouse in the concession, as well as the reporters, were all pointing and talking in shock.
"Oh my God! Look, those are the tanks of the National Army. When did the National Army still have tanks? And these tanks are not the foreign tanks we have seen before!"
"Yes! Haven't all the Chinese tanks been destroyed by the Japanese anti-tank guns and tanks and chariots? Why are there so many tanks fighting back against the Japanese?"
"Besides the tanks, shouldn't the focus of your attention be on those artillery battles just now? Why are there Chinese artillery teams outside the Sihang Warehouse to attack the Japanese troops? And they are so accurate? What is going on here?
?”
"I don't know either! But if you don't tell me, I really didn't pay much attention! I thought it was the artillery team in the Sihang Warehouse that was conducting the bombardment, because all my attention was focused on the National Army's tank troops.
, I just want to see who is more powerful between the Japanese tank force and the Chinese tank force, because I feel that the tanks put into the battlefield by the Chinese army this time seem to be very powerful!"
"I think the Japanese tank troops must have won again! You don't know that the Japanese tank troops have been rigorously trained and have gone through actual combat tests again and again. They can be called battlefield veterans. Whether it is their proficiency in tank control
Both the speed and the use of artillery scopes are far superior to those of our tank troops. Otherwise, why would our tank troops have been wiped out so quickly by the Japanese not long after the Songhu war started?"
"Yes! At that time, I still had great expectations for the tank troops of our national army. Who knows how long they had not been in the battle, but they were either destroyed by the Japanese tank artillery team, or were destroyed by the Japanese tanks and chariots.
Oh! I’m really getting more and more angry the more I look at it!”
"By the way, do you know who Liu Feiyang's general is? Where is he from? What does he look like? I really want to take a look at him! He is really good at killing Japanese, and he is the one in my mind.
An anti-Japanese hero, and he really saved face for our national army!"
"Yes! Since the Battle of Songhu, no national army has been able to kill the Japanese. To kill them so quickly and so satisfyingly is to bring glory to the country!"
"But now I just want to know whether Liu Feiyang's tank unit can defeat the Japanese tank unit!"
"That is definitely possible. I believe that their tank troops will not lose to the Japanese tank troops. And didn't you see? The peripheral shelling just now destroyed 8 Japanese tanks at once!"
"Ah! This... the problem is that the shelling has stopped now. I wonder if they are out of ammunition?"
"..."
...
...
"Baga!"
"Fight back!"
"Counterattack!——"
"All tank crews, destroy these damn tanks of the China Army for me!"
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!——"
"assault!"
"assault!"
...
...
At this moment, the captain of the tank regiment, Takahashi Issei, was furiously commanding his tanks, heading towards Liu Feiyang's tank group, which was still advancing and attacking.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
The grenades of the Japanese tank convoy's artillery attack? Explosions everywhere? Explosions and flames flew.
In the billowing smoke, in the billowing smoke? In the deafening roar of the tank engines? And in the smoke filled with the smell of burning vehicles,
The Japanese army's tank convoy finally successfully started their first round of counterattack?
It's just that at this time, Liu Feiyang's command was obeying the remote command of Liu Feiyang in the control room. He was also carrying out a multi-faceted attack of tank troops in full swing. He concentrated his superior forces at one point to attack the Japanese tank group and the Japanese tanks.
The Japanese infantry at the back of the group were beating and chasing fiercely, not giving any breathing space to the Japanese troops they were attacking in the main direction.
"Armor-piercing projectile? 1,000 meters away? 6 o'clock direction, fire!"
When the Japanese tank troops launched a fierce counterattack, the Panther tanks that had been charging not far in front of the Japanese thin-skinned tanks also quickly locked and targeted the artillery.
"boom!"
A flash of muzzle flash from the Panther tank? An armor-piercing bullet struck the Japanese thin-skinned tank in front of them at lightning speed, destroying it with one shot.
"Okay! Just kill those Japanese tanks like this!"
"The new tank given by Commander Liu Feiyang? It is a high-quality product!"
Seeing the tank under his command destroy a Japanese thin-skinned tank with one shot? The tank commander immediately clapped his hands happily and said with excitement and ecstasy.
The driver, correspondent, gunner, and loader who were riding in a Panther tank with him also cheered excitedly, and then continued to control the tank with excitement, preparing to hunt down the second thin-skinned Japanese tank.
And after the success of this Panther tank,
Liu Feiyang's tank group was also engaged in fierce shooting battles and hand-to-hand combat with dozens of Japanese thin-skinned tanks at the front line outside the Sihang Warehouse.
Soon, many Japanese tanks were hit by shells and burned, and even exploded into large fireballs, rising into the sky amid the flames.
Moreover, the surroundings of them were instantly filled with smoke, the explosion of artillery shells, the firing of main guns, the sound of Japanese tanks being hit by artillery shells, and the roaring roar of engines.
As well as those heart-rending, blood-curdling howls and screams, as well as those miserable screams before death, as well as the pitiful pleas for help from tank crews struggling to survive in tanks that exploded and caught fire.
Voice……
In such a brutal tank battle, whether it was the tank crew members of Liu Feiyang’s German tank group or the tank crew members of the Japanese thin-skinned tank group;
They were all enduring great feelings of fear and grief as they continued to move around the wreckage of the destroyed tank; each other's guns occupied favorable shooting positions, firing armor-piercing and high-explosive shells rapidly one after another.
The shot hit an enemy tank.
It didn't take long for the tanks that were hit and caught fire one after another to turn into a lot of fireballs, burning with raging flames on the ground...
Although the thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army are not as powerful as the German tanks commanded by Liu Feiyang,
However, most of the German tanks under Liu Feiyang's command were Panzer II tanks, and only 3 were Panther tanks.
Because most of the tank crew members under Liu Feiyang did not know how to drive the new German tanks, especially the Leopard tanks, Liu Feiyang could only equip Devour with German Panzer II tanks and temporarily withstand their use in combat.
The combat training of the tank crew members who drove the German Panzer II tanks was not as long as the training of the elite tank crews of the Japanese army, and they did not participate in as many actual battles.
Therefore, the Japanese tank team members relied on their rich practical experience to make up for the thin-skinned weaknesses of their tank groups.
So after such a brutal round of mutually intimidating tank bombardment, Liu Feiyang's tank group was destroyed in an instant by nine German No. 2 tanks, and knelt on the smoke-filled battlefield, braving the flames.
But the losses of the Japanese tank group were even more severe.
The Japanese tank group lost as many as 25 tanks in one fell swoop.
Faced with such a heavy casualty rate, Issei Takahashi, the captain of the tank regiment, who was still alive and well, was in pain and couldn't breathe.
This was the first time since the Battle of Songhu that the tank unit under his command had experienced the heaviest casualties.
