At this moment, the fleeing guerrillas in front stopped again, and then started shelling the Japanese army.
The artillery fire this time was very intensive. In addition to the Type 92 infantry cannon, there were also large groups of mortars.
These artillery pieces were obviously not temporarily set up by the guerrillas who just escaped, but had been set up in advance. It was obvious that the guerrillas had set up an ambush in advance.
Xu Dalong personally commanded the Type 92 infantry artillery, each in a group of three, to hit an armored target, and soon destroyed a Japanese tank and an armored vehicle.
Although mortars are not used to hit armored targets, they are still effective against the thin-skinned tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army if they can hit them directly.
Mortar shells fell in groups, and several Japanese armored vehicles were hit. Some were blown up on the spot, and some of the personnel inside were killed or stunned, and lost their combat capabilities.
Knowing that they had been ambushed by the guerrillas, the Japanese captain immediately ordered the troops to turn around and rush out of the valley.
Xu Dalong and others could not stop the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, so they had to mount their horses and follow the Japanese tank troops unhurriedly.
Just as the Japanese troops were about to rush out of the valley, a violent explosion occurred on the road ahead, and two Japanese armored vehicles were blown into a ball of fire on the spot.
It turns out that Xu Dalong had planned all this.
Last night, Xu Dalong and others had already made arrangements in advance. They dug two large pits near the entrance of the valley and hid two Type 92 infantry cannons.
When a large group of Japanese troops entered the valley, the special operations team members who had prepared an ambush in advance launched two Type 92 infantry cannons from the large pit and aimed at the Japanese armored vehicles dozens of meters away to bombard them. Soon, they
Destroyed it.
Monk Wei and others took the time to plant explosives on the highway. Since the time was too short, there was no time to plant more explosives. However, Xu Dalong had already made another preparation.
The special operations team members worked in groups, carrying anti-tank cones made of reinforced concrete, and placed a large area at the mouth of the valley, completely blocking the way for the Japanese troops to escape from the valley.
The captain of the Japanese tank brigade only realized the danger when he saw the anti-tank cone in front of him, because the enemy he faced obviously had professional anti-tank knowledge. The artillery fire used by the guerrillas to attack them just now was enough.
Proved this.
The Japanese captain knew that he had to leave this valley quickly, otherwise, when the enemy's artillery was transported over, they would only be beaten passively, and sooner or later the entire army would be destroyed.
At this moment, a large group of guerrillas appeared on the hillsides on both sides.
The captain of the Japanese army was not worried about this. It was almost a hundred meters away from the tops of the mountains on both sides, and these guerrillas posed no threat to them.
At this time, the Japanese army had not yet used short-range radios. To command the tank, the communication troops needed to lean out from the top of the tank and use semaphores to command. Under the current circumstances, it was simply impossible for the communication troops to do so.
As long as they show their heads, they will definitely be killed, so the armored soldiers can only fight on their own.
However, the Japanese army is well-trained. They have gone through countless drills in situations like this and have accumulated rich experience in previous battles.
Facing the guerrilla attack, those armored vehicles used firepower to attack the guerrillas on the mountain, preventing them from approaching, and attacking tanks and armored vehicles.
The Japanese captain brought several tanks to the anti-tank cones and planned to use artillery to destroy them one by one and blast out a passage.
At this moment, the Japanese army discovered from the shooting hole that the guerrillas on the hillside had something black sticking out from the ground. They didn't know what kind of weapon it was.
Soon after, those guys started to emit white smoke, and then many things the size of millstones flew over from the sky.
In order to deal with the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, Xu Dalong and others had set up thunder cannons in advance. Although it was difficult for these thunder cannons to accurately land on the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, as long as they exploded at close range of the tanks and armored vehicles, although
The armored fighting vehicle cannot be destroyed, but the Japanese soldiers inside cannot stand it.
A large number of thunder and artillery shells kept falling, and the entire valley was blown up into billows of smoke.
Soon after, most of the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were silenced, with only two armored vehicles still spitting out tongues of flame.
The guerrillas then adjusted their muzzles and fired more than twenty thunder shells at the two armored vehicles at once, finally silencing the two armored vehicles.
The guerrillas rushed down the mountain, and a large group of cavalry led by Xu Dalong and others also rushed over from the road.
The guerrillas climbed onto the tanks and armored vehicles, eliminated the Japanese soldiers who were stunned and survived, and completely annihilated the Japanese tank brigade.
Finally taking revenge, Sun Desheng kicked the dead Japanese captain twice and cursed: "You little devil, if you let me run wild, you should be taken care of by grandpa." After that, haha.
laughing out loud.
The guerrillas were also there cheering for victory.
Xu Dalong did not cheer along with the team members, but climbed onto a tank and got into it.
Xu Dalong was operating the tank inside and found that due to the explosion of the thunder cannon at close range, some parts inside were shaken loose. The tank would be temporarily unusable without repair.

He climbed out and got into another Type 97 medium tank. This time he actually started the tank. After driving for a few steps, he stopped, stuck his head out of the skylight, and looked at the guerrillas.
They shouted: "Those who can drive, go check out those armored vehicles and see if there are any that can be driven."
The armored vehicles of the Japanese army are wheeled, which is basically a car covered with iron sheets, and the operation is similar to driving a car.
As for some of the machine guns on the vehicle, the guerrillas can also manipulate them, and these armored vehicles can regain their combat effectiveness in a short time.
After inspection, two tanks and 14 armored vehicles were still available.
Sun Desheng and others originally thought of blowing them up, but now they all understood Xu Dalong's intention and knew that he wanted to drive all these tanks and armored vehicles back.
Everyone was very happy, it was like the guerrillas had an armored force.
Sure enough, Xu Dalong selected a group of guerrillas and explained to them the basic knowledge of the operation and use of armored vehicles.
Sun Desheng stood next to Xu Dalong. After listening to Xu Dalong's speech, he said happily: "Captain, now it's all right. Let's drive these iron guys back. We will have our own chariot troops in the future. How about we do it now?"
Just drive these iron guys to fight the Japanese."
He was looking forward to the frightened expressions the Japanese would have when they saw these armored tanks.
Xu Dalong shook his head and said: "Now is not the time. Going into battle blindly without training will definitely lead to chaos. Let's drive these tanks and armored vehicles back first, and then go out to fight after they are well trained."
Sun Desheng felt very sorry, so he ordered his troops to assemble and prepare to withdraw.
After the troops were assembled, Xu Dalong did not issue an order to retreat.
He thought for a while and said: "Brothers! We have to fight another battle."
After hearing this, everyone became interested.
Sun Desheng was feeling depressed because he was about to retreat. When he heard this, he said excitedly: "Captain, are you going to fight with these iron guys?"
Xu Dalong said: "Yes, and no."
Seeing everyone's puzzled look, he revealed his battle plan.
Sun Desheng and everyone were very happy and immediately started preparations.
Guancheng County.
The Japanese commander was on the tower, anxiously waiting for news, when he saw an armored vehicle approaching.
The armored vehicle arrived at the foot of the tower and shouted towards the tower: "Your Excellency, Captain, our army has defeated the guerrillas who came to attack, captured many prisoners, and seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition. Do we need those things?"
Come on, our captain has said that we will give all the infantry to you and ask you to send some people to transport those things back.
Our battalion leader also said that due to the hasty departure this time, there is not much fuel in the tanks and armored vehicles, so please help send some fuel over."
The Japanese commander was very happy and sent an infantry squadron to drive a truck to help the tank brigade transport their stored fuel out of the city. They followed the armored vehicle in front of them and drove towards the valley in the distance.
When the Japanese truck was approaching the mouth of the valley, it saw tanks and armored vehicles parked on the side of the road.
A Japanese officer stood on the tank and asked the trucks transporting oil to stop. The rest of the Japanese army followed the armored vehicle and continued to the mountains to transport captured weapons and ammunition.
Three trucks carrying fuel stopped, and several trucks loaded with Japanese infantry continued to move forward.
As they passed the long line of armored convoys, machine guns on tanks and armored vehicles suddenly opened fire violently at them.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were caught off guard and were quickly wiped out.
Sun Desheng got out of an armored vehicle. He felt that these iron guys were really useful. Just now he was hiding in the armored vehicle and firing at the enemy with a machine gun, but the enemy was helpless against him.
He suddenly fell in love with these armored vehicles and was going to ask Xu Dalong to put this armored convoy under his direct command.
Xu Dalong and others blew up the inoperable tanks and armored vehicles, and returned to Daliushu Village with the captured weapons and ammunition.
When the soldiers who stayed behind and the villagers of Daliushu Village saw that the guerrillas had captured such a majestic tank and armored vehicle, they all came out to watch the fun.
Xu Dalong felt happy and ordered the flowing water mats to be set up. All the officers and soldiers stationed in Daliushu Village and the villagers celebrated the victory together.
Next, Xu Dalong began to form his own armored force.
