The reinforcements sent by Okamura Yasuji was a little different from usual.

Usually, the Japanese soldiers fought in cooperation with the chariot gang, such as fighting in Yu Village.

But now it is the Cavalry Regiment's Cascade Order and the Chariot Regiment's Fleet to cooperate in combat.

This is related to the situation of the Japanese war at this time.

As the saying goes, military situation is urgent, Okamura Yanji is worried that Yuncheng will be captured by the Eighth Route Army if the speed is slow. At that time, it will be difficult to retake the bunkers and artillery towers everywhere, especially the anti-tank trenches. So he sent these fast mobile troops.

The speed of the tank wing was unsatisfactory. Although the maximum speed of the Type 97 tank was only 38 kilometers per hour, it was still faster than the speed of the two legs.

Needless to mention the cavalry, it can be regarded as a high-speed mobile unit.

The Mountain Cannon Corps is also a mobile unit that uses cars to drag mountain cannons around, so of course it is not slow.

Strictly speaking, the mountain artillery troops are used for mountain combat. Field artillery troops are used for field combat... The definition of mountain artillery is small in weight and can be easily decomposed and transported to the mountain and then assembled artillery, such as the 1992 Infantry Cannon, and field artillery is usually difficult to disassemble.

From this perspective, the reinforcements of Yuncheng should be more of the field artillery troops than the mountain artillery troops.

The reason is that there are plains near Yuncheng, and field cannons with great caliber and powerful caliber are needed, so there is naturally no requirement for the decomposed characteristics of mountain cannons.

The problem is that the Japanese usually use field artillery troops to fight the stubborn army and mountain artillery troops to fight the Eighth Route Army... The stubborn army fights the Japanese head-on while the Eighth Route Army usually deals with the Japanese in the mountains, so this distribution is correct.

Therefore, most of the Japanese in Yuncheng area have mountain artillery troops with few field artillery troops. The 75mm field artillery in Yuncheng City were originally transported to the Yellow River to confront the stubborn army.

Okamura Yasuji knew that the Eighth Route Army had two divisions and an independent regiment in the direction of Yuncheng.

He believed that sending such troops to deal with the Eighth Route Army was enough, even if the Eighth Route Army had fifty tanks.

However, this is also due to the insufficient Japanese troops. Okamura Nishiji is worried that demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall will cause loopholes in the defense line of Luliang Mountain to be everywhere, which will lead to a bad battle.

Otherwise, there would be such a good opportunity to fight the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the plains, Okamura Yasuji would of course mobilize a large army to encircle it.

However, Okamura Yanji finally miscalculated. The mobile troops he sent were far from enough to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line.

The 7th Chariot Regiment is the main chariot Regiment of the Japanese, and the corps leader is Colonel Fuciran.

This chariot wing is a Chinese war wing, mainly equipped with Type 97 medium-sized chariots.

It participated in the Battle of Nomenkan a year ago and defeated the armored troops of Maobei in a local battle with a comprehensive disadvantage in the performance of the chariot. Aritsujiro was just a staff officer at that time. He was injured in that war and was only reborn seven months ago and transferred to the corps captain.

In theory, this chariot corps with rich combat experience and strong strength should be transferred to Kantozhou to participate in the Guantei performance... In fact, it is to prepare for the battle against Mao Wang.

But Okamura Yasuji used various methods and excuses to keep this army, such as ranking the 7th tank wing at the end, and when he was transferred, he said that he was carrying out a mission or the train capacity was insufficient, etc. As a result, he has not been able to travel until now but was used to reinforce Yuncheng... This is actually because Okamura Yasuji felt the threat from the Eighth Route Army. The transfer of the "one-type tank" from the country was also based on the same reason.

At this time, Fujiro was looking at the enemy's defense map on the armored vehicle used as a command vehicle.

After looking at it for a while, he threw the defense map aside.

Because he felt that the defense map was meaningless, it was just a field fortification of the Eighth Route Army of a division.

Such fortifications can almost be described as "vulnerable" under his chariot wing.

You should know that his CCTA gang is equipped with 52 chariots, of which 31 are Type 97 medium chariots, 21 are Type 95 light chariots... The Japanese are used to mixing two types of chariots. The difference between the light chariot gang and the CCTA gang is that the ratio of the two chariots is different. For example, the Youfu CCTA gang has one light chariot squadron and three medium chariot squadrons, but the CCTA gang is equipped with several light chariots to assist in combat.

This may be due to the Japanese's habit of trying to make every chariot with fine tactics and even wanting to be able to fight every soldier.

Although the Japanese and navy were not in harmony with each other, this was very similar.

When the Navy formulates a combat plan, it will be meticulous about what each lifeboat does... This seems to be fine, and being serious is better than being rough.

But there is an idiom called "Everything will turn against you when it reaches its extreme". War is an uncertain thing. No one can predict what the battlefield they are going to face is or what emergency situation will happen.

Therefore, each tactical unit should have sufficient flexibility and adaptability under the large framework.

If the entire army's combat plan was formulated in detail and the life-saving was carried out and nailed to death, the result would either be that the plan could not be implemented because it was out of reality, or it would be forced to be implemented but lost its life and eventually collapsed.

The Japanese chariot troops are almost the same.

They hope to use the medium tank, that is, the Type 97 to deal with the enemy's tanks, and use Type 95 to deal with the enemy's infantry, so that they can make full use of resources without the "waste" of Type 97 to deal with the enemy's infantry.

But how could the ever-changing battlefield develop as the Japanese hoped and planned!

It is only possible unless it is against the Chinese army without tanks and anti-tank equipment.

However, it is now impossible because of the emergence of Wang Xuexin.

Fujiro rubbed his right leg that was painful. This was the injury he fell in Nomenhan's battle. The chariot was penetrated by the enemy and was almost disabled. Until now, there were still a few shrapnel that could not be taken out.

However, at this time Fujiro didn't care about this. He believed that the battle was not as simple as it seemed, especially the intelligence showed that the Eighth Route Army's chariots were still in Yuncheng and did not organize defenses.

It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to not know the news that the 7th Chariot Regiment arrived.

Atsujiro knew that the Eighth Route Army's intelligence network was much more effective than the Imperial Army.

Since the Eighth Route Army knew about it, their tanks continued to attack Yuncheng as if nothing had happened... Are they fearless?

Akijiro was a little angry. Why are these Chinese troops fearless?

They plan to use rocket launchers or bazooka launchers to block the chariot troops?

No, unlikely!

The accuracy of rocket launchers is too low, so the tanks used to fight in operations will not have much effect, especially the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells.

The rocket launcher has only 20mm armor-piercing ability and cannot penetrate the front armor of the Type 97 medium-type tank equipped with sandbags and shell shells.

So, is it that the Eighth Route Army's chariots are more than these?

Thinking of Akijiro's heart was shocked and immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing.
