Yuncheng's defense collapsed due to Anda Twenty-three's retreat.

Later, the Japanese reinforcements did enter the city, but it was meaningless to enter the city, because the sky was gradually getting brighter and the combat effectiveness of the tank was improved.

Actually, this is not the point.

The reason why tank street fighting in modern wars has never been solved is that there are powerful tools like bazooka and even individual anti-tank missiles, which can hide in houses and ruins to destroy target tanks at a very small cost.

But this problem does not exist for the Eighth Route Army's tank troops, because the Japanese at this time basically had no anti-tank equipment.

It really doesn't work, even the "umbrella" anti-tank grenade used by Hans (after throwing it out, a small umbrella will be opened at the tail to keep the warhead fuze in front, and it will explode when it touches the target tank), or the bump-fighting anti-tank grenade used by the bear can do it...

As long as there are anti-tank grenades, they can be thrown from a convex place or roof, which will also cause great trouble to tanks passing through the street below.

However, the Japanese had nothing.

In fact, the Japanese also have anti-tank equipment, such as the Type 99 "Turtle" anti-tank Lei, and the other thunder...

But the former is filled with explosives with several magnets around, and soldiers need to stick the explosives to the tank in close proximity, while the latter is the soldier grabbed the tank and stabbed the tank and died together.

Both require closeness.

The close-up may be a terrible thing for the Eagle Soldiers. The infantry is timid and always hides in safe areas. Once they are hit by fire, they will fall down and dare not move. This gives the Japanese a chance to take advantage of the two so-called "thunders" that can cause considerable losses to Eagle Sold on the Pacific battlefield... and it is Sherman who blows it up, and finally forces Eagle Sold to put a layer of wooden shell on Sherman.

(Note: The wooden shell has no magnetic properties, and the Japanese Type 99 anti-tankrei cannot be glued to it)

This tactic won't work for the Eighth Route Army.

Because when necessary, the Eighth Route Army soldiers will use their lives to protect the safety of the tank... It is difficult for Eagle Sauce to understand such behavior. For them, their lives are always more important than others' lives. Why should they sacrifice themselves to save others?

Therefore, the street battle in Yuncheng was a devastating battle for the Eighth Route Army tanks. The Japanese reinforcements rushed towards each other and were defeated by the tanks. The bodies left behind were fled out of the city in a panic.

Wang Xuexin led the team to continue attacking without stopping, took down Laobei Street in the center of the city and then turned into Beida Street. After more than half an hour, he occupied the North Gate.

The first and second companies of the tank completed their missions and occupied the West Gate and East Gate respectively.

Among them, the Second Tank Company was empty when attacking the Auto Repair Street and did not encounter the Japanese tanks... The Japanese tank troops were transferred to the middle and allowed the Third Tank Company to be annihilated.

The tank company firmly knocked a Japanese artillery squadron to overturn the enemy.

None of these are the key points.

The point is that Yuncheng was taken down by the Eighth Route Army, and the bunkers and artillery towers outside the city became "sandwich biscuits" and were attacked by the Eighth Route Army on both sides.

Moreover, fortifications such as bunkers and artillery towers have strong direction, with strong external firepower and almost no internal firepower, especially tanks and bunkers and artillery towers.

Therefore, Anda Twenty-san knew very well that if the troops outside the city did not retreat, they would soon face the end of being divided and surrounded by the enemy.

So with an order, the Japanese in all directions hurriedly retreated and fled eastward.

They were so hurrying that they didn't even have time to blow up the bunkers and artillery towers... It was said that blowing up the bunkers only required a few explosive packs and then igniting the fuse, which took only a few minutes.

But things on the battlefield often determine life and death in just a few minutes. What if the Eighth Route Army’s tank troops counterattacked from the city in these few minutes and cut off the Japanese’s retreat?

As a result, the fortifications outside the city fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army almost intact, including the barbed wire mesh drawn from the anti-tank trenches carefully constructed by Anda Twenty-three, and even several underground warehouses outside the city that provide supplies to the forts and artillery towers.

This was constructed after the Japanese occupied Yuncheng.

Anda Twenty-Three considered one thing: the bunkers and artillery towers could not prepare too much ammunition.

This is not to say that there is not enough space, but the bunker. The artillery tower is easily bombarded by enemy tanks at the perforation hole. If too much ammunition is accumulated in the bunker, it will not be wasted, and it will become a multiplier for the enemy's shells.

Therefore, the ammunition in the bunker artillery tower basically only has two ammunition bases... on average, each person is more than 200 rounds.

These ammunition is obviously not enough when the battle is fierce, so it needs to be transported frequently from the city.

The many bunkers outside the city need to be transported from the city, which will put a lot of pressure on the army's logistics and cause congestion in the city gates.

So Anda 23 designed several small ammunition depots outside the city.

This small ammunition depot is located underground with a soil layer of two meters thick on it, followed by a warehouse body poured with concrete. Each ammunition depot contains hundreds of thousands of bullets and tens of thousands of grenades for turnover.

In this way, in an emergency, the bunkers can be replenished from the underground ammunition depot without returning to the city for transportation.

All these ammunitions fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. When Li Yunlong saw these ammunition depots, he jumped up happily on the spot: "Damn it, you've made a fortune now! All the things the Japanese have made are used to deal with them!"

Li Yunlong is right.

Anda Twenty-three was so "careful and thoughtful" because they were actually considering the Eighth Route Army.

When the Japanese faced the attack of the Eighth Route Army, they did not have such great logistical concerns. Instead, when the Eighth Route Army defended Yuncheng... The Japanese artillery fire blocked the city gates with firepower, what should they do if the ammunition from the bunkers and artillery towers were used?

But these are just minor meanings.

When counting the results of the battle, the Eighth Route Army found five large warehouses in Yuncheng, three warehouses with ammunition, firearms, medicines, bandages, etc., and the other two warehouses with food.

These supplies include Japanese and Jinsui Army... When Yan Laoxi was defeated by Japanese, he had no time to bomb the warehouse. Except for an ammunition warehouse that was blown up by Japanese agents, all the others fell into the hands of the Japanese.

After the Japanese received these warehouses and supplies, they not only did not use the supplies, but also piled up supplies in the warehouse.

Because they planned to use Yuncheng as the starting point to support the forces of the three divisions and penetrate westward into the Yellow River, of course they had to prepare more materials in Yuncheng.

In other words, the Eighth Route Army captured Yuncheng this time, and seized all the materials saved by the Jinsui Army and the Japanese in one breath.

In addition, there are tanks, artillery, etc. that are surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and cannot get out of the city.

When Li Yunlong heard the materials reported, he was so happy that he didn't know what his surname was.
