An anti-tank artillery squadron of the Japanese was wiped out by a tank company eight minutes ago. The final battle ended with several Japanese running their shoulders but being shot dead by soldiers from behind.

The Japanese deserved it. From this corner, there was a straight street that was several hundred meters long. The Japanese escaped for a long time but were still under the range of the soldiers' rifles.

"Go forward at full speed!" Wang Xuexin ordered.

With this victory, he had some confidence in command.

Then under Wang Xuexin's order, a fire bomb hit the front and illuminated the way forward for the tank. Then the tank led the soldiers to the center of the city as fast as possible.

Although it is risky to move forward at such a fast speed, such as crashing into an ambush circle set up by the Japanese, or whether there are anti-tank mines in front of them.

But Wang Xuexin knew that this was the time to penetrate the enemy command at the fastest speed...

Decisions on the battlefield are sometimes not something that can be explained clearly using theory.

For example, if you move forward slowly, you can be said to be steady and steady, and if you move forward quickly, you can be said to be greedy and successful.

Conversely, moving forward slowly can be said to be a missed opportunity, and moving forward quickly can be said to be a clean and neat move.

Therefore, command decisions actually rely on a feeling. No one can be sure whether the decision was right or wrong at that time. It is often three points to make decisions and seven points to luck.

But this time, Wang Xuexin once again bet right.

Because if even the Japanese anti-tank artillery squadron were not prepared and met the tank company at one time, it means that the Japanese command did not expect that the Eighth Route Army tanks would be so fast.

Since this is the case, the Japanese of course did not have time to set up ambushes and almost no time to lay anti-tank mines.

If the tank company advances slowly, it may leave time for the Japanese to prepare.

At this time, Anda Twenty-san felt something was wrong in the Japanese command.

Although Anda Twenty-three did not receive a report from the anti-tank company, as a veteran, he knew that the enemy was not far away when he heard the sound of gunfire and cannons.

Then he compared the map and direction again and cursed: "These bastards actually took our army command!"

Then Anda Twenty-san asked the staff officer without hesitation: "Where is our chariot?"

The staff officer replied: "Leverly General, the chariot is preparing to fight on the East Street!"

"Register now to protect the command!"

"yes!"

Anda Twenty-three tried to form a line of defense against the Eighth Route Army in Yuncheng.

At this time, he already knew that the Eighth Route Army's chariot troops attacked in three directions... The attacked Japanese reported to the command center by phone, and the staff officers marked the enemy's position on the map in time.

Since he could not block the enemy at the city gate, Anda Twenty-san hoped to attack the city. His defense plan was to set up three anti-war chariot guns at the east and west gates to guard three north-south streets, one on each street and always prepare to reinforce each other, and then supplement with infantry and artillery cooperation.

In this way, the two wings can block the attack of the enemy's chariots.

In the middle, the chariot troops were transferred to fight against the enemy, and the three anti-chariot guns from the north gate were also urgently transferred to the central part. As long as the Laobei Street in the central part was guarded, the three Eighth Route Army troops would actually be divided and fight on their own after attacking... Laobei Street in the middle was a transportation center. If they could not capture Laobei Street, they would have to take a detour.

As long as we can last for more than ten or twenty minutes and wait for the troops outside the city to return to help, then it will be the time for the Eighth Route Army's chariot troops to be wiped out.

It should be said that Anda Twenty-three's plan is very reasonable.

After all, the chariot troops stationed in Yuncheng had two squadrons of 20 chariots, most of which were 97 chariots.

To be precise, these chariot troops were not "garrisoned" in Yuncheng, but had malfunctions or needed maintenance during the attack on Yuncheng and fighting the Jinsui Army, so they were placed on East Street for rest.

Strictly speaking, they are not under the command of Anda Twenty-three, but the situation is urgent now, so it is natural to coordinate Yuncheng defense.

Anda Twenty-san felt that this battle was at least 80% sure.

Because there were more than 20 chariots in two squadrons, not to mention the Type 95, which had insufficient combat power, more than a dozen of them were Type 97.

97 China War is a tank developed specifically for t26. They may not be able to deal with t34, but it is no problem to deal with t26.

Therefore, Anda Twenty-three did not think it was necessary to transfer the command center, even if the enemy's chariots were approaching step by step.

The Japanese chariot was commanded by Colonel Kazuhiraguchi. He was awakened by the sound of gunfire when the battle started, but no one stood up.

They are different from infantry. When infantry hears the sound of guns and cannons, they will catch their guns and be ready for battle.

However, chariot soldiers, especially those stationed in the safe areas of the city, do not need to worry about safety issues.

Kazue Haraguchi lit a cigarette with his adjutant.

The adjutant complained: "It's really annoying. The attacking Eighth Route Army should be the one who attacked? Did they think they could capture Yuncheng? It's incredible!"

"Who knows?" said Haraguchi Chie. "The Eighth Route Army is always unexpected now. Have you heard of the annihilation of the 25th Tank Regiment before?"

The adjutant nodded and replied in a low voice: "I heard that it was done by the Eighth Route Army using T34!"

The Japanese troops actually have a tradition of reporting good news but not bad news, because they believed that defeat would affect morale, so they tried every means to block the news internally.

This habit is even more excessive in China. The people in China thought that the Imperial Army was in sight before they hit their doorsteps, and many even thought that the Imperial Army was about to surrender.

However, such information is of course not a secret for the soldiers in the chariot troops.

Haraguchi nodded, sighed, and said, "I heard that even Hans can't defeat the chariot like T34. One day if we face it, we must be careful!"

"Yes!" the adjutant replied.

This is actually a casual response, because this thing is not just about being "careful". It is at a disadvantage in equipment and does not know what weaknesses the other party has... In fact, it is not just about not knowing the weaknesses. At this time, the Japanese did not even know the basic data of t34, so how could they be "careful"?

Just as Chie Haraguchi and his adjutant were chatting without a word, the communications soldier suddenly came to report: "Your Excellency Colonel, I heard that the Eighth Route Army's chariots have attacked the city gate!"

Zhijiang Haraguchi was so shocked that the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground without holding it tightly.

Then, his first reaction was that the communications soldiers believed the rumors... Many imperial soldiers were very afraid of T34 and had psychological shadows, so they spread rumors as soon as the war started.

He was about to scold the communications officer, but the explosion from the south gate stunned him.

He was very familiar with the sound, it was the t26 tank gun.
