However, due to issues with the rate of fire and range of fire, the 75mm mountain gun or 75mm field gun is generally less effective for anti-tank purposes.

As the 15 tanks of the 3rd company joined the bombardment, the firepower of the new regiment's tank guns was doubled.

Although the moving Japanese tank is more difficult to hit, it is not a big problem for tank gunners who have undergone extensive live-fire training.

Amidst the loud noise, one Japanese tank after another was blown up.

"attack!"

Seeing that there were less than 20 Japanese tanks left in the field of vision, the 3rd company commander issued an attack order.

He wanted to use the Panther main battle tank to hit the Japanese tanks and give the Japanese tank soldiers a little shock.

"Wait a minute! There's something behind the Japanese tank!"

However, the 5th company commander promptly stopped the 3rd company commander on the call channel.

At this time, the commander of the 5th company was half exposed outside the tank, observing the battlefield situation with a telescope.

"What's there?"

The 5th company commander got out of the tank and raised his binoculars to take a look.

At this glance, he really saw something behind the Japanese tank. As the Japanese tank approached, he saw clearly what was behind the Japanese tank, and he was stunned:

"That's...the Japs' truck? What do the Japs want to do?"

"Aim at the Japanese truck and shoot!"

The cautious 3rd company commander gave orders to the gunner and loader.

As the tank body suddenly shook, a 75mm high-explosive artillery shell streaked through the air and hit the Japanese truck directly.

"boom--"

Along with an explosion, a huge ball of flames suddenly rose, and the firelight illuminated the surrounding area.

Dozens of Japanese 94 trucks became clearly visible in an instant.

At this time, the Japanese tanks were only about 300 meters away from the tanks of the New Regiment, and the Japanese cars were only about 350 meters away from the Eighth Route Army tanks.

The tank gunners and observers kept their attention on the Japanese tanks, but the Japanese trucks did not have driving lights, so they did not see them at first.

at this time.

The Japanese drivers also knew that they had been discovered, so they quickly shifted gears, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, crossed the tank and rushed towards the Eighth Route Army tank.

"It's fuel, you damn little devil!"

The 5th company commander was suddenly startled and broke into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the tank did not attack, otherwise it would have been a suicide attack by the Japanese, and the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Fire the Japanese truck I'm targeting!"

The two company commanders roared loudly.

At this time, the Japanese truck was already rushing over at full speed. With the Eighth Route Army's flares providing visibility, the Japanese driver's goal was very clear.

Tom-tom-tom——

The Eighth Route Army's tank guns and coaxial machine gun fireworks continued to bloom, and the Japanese trucks were blown up and set on fire.

However, the speed of Japanese trucks is much faster than that of Doudin tanks, and many Japanese drivers do not walk in a straight line.

Some tank shells were deflected. Just when the two company commanders wanted to give the order to retreat.

The new regiment of cavalry reentered the position, set up machine guns and rifles, and fired at the Japanese trucks. The rocket launcher soldiers fired with bazookas.

With the close cooperation of the infantry and tank soldiers, a dense rain of bullets was poured towards the Japanese convoy.

finally.

The last Japanese tank and truck were blown up about 30 meters away from the new regiment's forward position.

…

"idiot……"

In the rear, there is a gathering place for Japanese soldiers.

After listening to the staff report, the commander of the 11th Huncheng Brigade, Major General Toshizaburo Maikura, was furious. He held the major general's sword in his hand, almost bleeding.

Starting from the tank regiment's attack, the whole battle lasted less than 10 minutes, and his tank regiment was completely shattered.

Since entering the Chinese battlefield, the 11th Mixed Brigade has never suffered such heavy losses.

The Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness far exceeded his imagination.

Although I was very angry and frustrated, there was nothing I could do.

The enemy's firepower was simply too strong, including heavy tanks that could not break through the defenses, endless flares, and extremely powerful infantry firepower.

Even the enemy's individual soldier quality is not as bad as that of the Japanese soldiers.

Major General Toshizaburo Maikura walked quickly to Okamura Neiji and reported: "Commander, the tank regiment has been completely destroyed. Please order the artillery regiment to be set up to cover the Eighth Route Army artillery positions with artillery fire. We

Forming the 11th Brigade will definitely open up the passage for the large forces!"

"No need!"

Okamura Neji looked at the watch on his hand, then waved his hand expressionlessly and said.

He had just received news of the Eighth Route Army's full-scale attack on Baoding.

He deployed the 2nd Brigade and the 108th Artillery Regiment there. In fact, the strength was less than one brigade because the 2nd Brigade suffered heavy losses in the Eighth Route Army's attack a few days ago.

Under the full attack of the 200,000-strong main force of the Eighth Route Army, the 2nd Brigade and the 108th Artillery Regiment were able to hold their positions for one night, which was considered very good!

Even if the artillery regiment is allowed to set up artillery, with the super firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

In one night, the 11th Brigade may not be able to open the road. Even if other divisions are sent together, it will only increase casualties.

If they stayed here for one night, the main force of the Eighth Route Army would definitely bite them and eat them all.

"Send the order to blow up all the mountain artillery, heavy artillery, artillery shells and trucks. We will bypass here and turn towards Tianjin."

When Neji Okamura gave the order, he felt that his heart was bleeding.

In addition to the five mountain artillery regiments, there are 20 150mm howitzers and 10 240mm howitzers from the heavy artillery regiment.

But now that the road is cut off, they will inevitably be unable to march with these mountain artillery and heavy artillery. Even if the mountain artillery and field artillery can be dismantled and transported by mules and horses, it will greatly slow down the team's speed.

As long as the artillery is there, cannons and artillery shells can be replenished by the base camp.

This time, they were running for their lives, and if they ran slowly, they would die.

"Hi."

A combat staff member suddenly lowered his head, turned around and went to deliver the order.

Boom boom boom——

Following Okamura Neiji's order, the Japanese quickly blew up the trucks, cannons, and artillery shells, and either burned or blew up anything that could not be taken away, leaving only dry food, firearms, and ammunition with them.

This huge explosion made the Eighth Route Army cavalry and tank soldiers not far away look at each other.

The Japanese ammunition depot exploded?

After the order from the Japanese headquarters was issued, tens of thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers spread their legs and fled towards Tianjin in response.
