Chapter 348: The Power of the Panther Tank

The chariots roared, and smoke filled the sky.

With such a big goal, it is basically impossible to escape the discovery of Japanese reconnaissance planes.

Therefore, soon the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft attracted a huge mixed aircraft group consisting of no less than fifty Type 95 fighter jets and Type 93 bombers.

Under the guidance of the reconnaissance plane, more than fifty Japanese planes covered the sky and rushed towards the unknown tanks rumbling on the ground like locusts passing through the border.

"Fire!" Qiao Anbang's command sounded from the radio communicator in the ground tank. Immediately, two mg34 general-purpose machine guns equipped by the Leopard tank opened fire one after another.

More than 300 mg34 fired one after another, and more than 300 dazzling flames spewed out of the muzzle, forming a dense air defense fire network that crisscrossed.

The Japanese mixed aircraft group suddenly plunged into an air defense firepower network composed of tens of thousands of 7.92mm machine gun bullets.

"Bang bang bang..." The dense bullets hit the weak defensive armor of the Type 95 fighter, and soon pierced the armor of some aircraft. Then the bruised Japanese planes began to ignite a fire, and some even were hit by the dense bullets and exploded in the air.

The Japanese plane that flew in the air later suffered tragic consequences because it could not hide. It was either hit by the debris of the explosion or directly collided with the wreckage of the plane, causing a larger explosion.

On the ground, under Qiao Anbang's command, all the tanks were still running forward at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the machine gunners were still firing in the air to prevent the Japanese plane from chasing.

After losing more than ten aircraft, the Japanese pilots who were diving were terrified and began to push up desperately. They never expected that the armored tank troops on the ground would have such dense and powerful air defense firepower.

After climbing away from the effective range of ground air defense fire, Japanese bombers began to drop bombs one after another, but because the ground targets and the aircraft themselves were moving quickly, it was not easy for the Japanese bombs to hit the ground target.

Often, the drop is hundreds of meters or even higher as soon as the shell lands. Even if the occasional bombing point is slightly closer to the ground tank, sporadic explosions are not enough to cause any substantial damage to the Panther tanks with extremely excellent armor defense capabilities and fast moving Leopard tanks.

Some random shrapnel hit the armor of the Panther tank like tickling it. It was no threat.

Soon, as the distance approached, the Leopard tank cluster of the Special Forces Battalion finally met the Japanese tank armor cluster that was coming towards him, and Qiao Anbang immediately issued an order to open fire in full force.

Dozens of Leopard tanks in the front fired the first shot. The 75mm mm armor-piercing projectiles suddenly roared out from the tank's main gun barrel like arrows.

The Japanese tanks that rushed towards the oncoming with flames a thousand meters away. Within a distance of one thousand meters, the 75mm armor-piercing projectile of the Leopard tank was enough to penetrate all models of Allied tanks during World War II. Even powerful t34/85 and fireflies were not spared.

From this we can imagine the outcome of the Japanese tanks that were slag. In front of the leopard tank's artillery, their defensive armor was as weak as tofu, and was easily penetrated, which caused the entire tank to explode.

During the violent explosion, Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were hit by Leopard tanks. They caught fire and split into pieces during the explosion, turning into pairs of scrap iron.

The armor-piercing projectiles fired by the 37mm tank gun on the Japanese tank hit the Panther tank but could not penetrate the front armor of the Panther tank at all. Some Japanese tanks cunningly and self-righteously went around the side flank of the Panther tank to fire, attempting to penetrate the side armor of the Panther tank.

However, the side of the Leopard tank was tilted armored, making it even harder for the Japanese armor-piercing bombs to hurt them.

Since the tanks and armored troops on both sides on the ground have entered a melee, in order to avoid accidentally injuring their own tank armored troops, the Japanese army fleet in the sky can only choose to return.

As the fierce battle between the two sides continued, this tank war, which was completely one-sided, finally ended with the collapse of the Japanese tank troops.

As for the ambitious Akashiya Yaezo, who had already been bombarded by Qiao Anbang's car with armor-piercing bullets and people and tanks, he had already become a scumbag.

Akashiya Yaezo couldn't understand even if he died. How could the Chinese chariots fighting with them be so powerful? The tanks and chariots of the Imperial Army were simply unable to match them. The gap between the two sides was like a military truck and a toy car.

"Brothers, chase at full speed and let the Japanese see what a real tank is! My team is the real king of land warfare! Use our torrent of steel to level their Yasukuni Shrine!" Qiao Anbang's passionate command sounded again on the radio.

Although Qiao Anbang had expected the outcome of the battle between the two sides. However, when he led his own tank cluster to defeat the Japanese armored troops twice as many as his army and fled, Qiao Anbang still felt a lot of passion.

It is not difficult for him to imagine that in the future, the tank armored troops of the Hu Ben Army will be equipped with thousands or even tens of thousands of tanks in the Eurasian continent. At that time, who can stop it in the world?

…………………………

Their own chariot and armored troops were about to collapse and the army was defeated, and the losses were terrible. Such news was soon reported to the local defense headquarters in Tokyo.

Ishihara Kanir and Itagaki Seishiro were both shocked and couldn't speak. They looked at each other in shock. They saw it in each other's eyes and couldn't believe it.

"How could this happen? The huge armored cluster composed of more than 300 tanks and armored vehicles is so vulnerable? How could the enemy be so powerful?" Ishihara Kaner said in surprise.

"Ishihara, I have a bad premonition!" Seishiro Itagaki said thoughtfully: "Is it because our local Chinese people also equipped their advanced tanks and chariots?"

"Are you talking about the new chariots equipped by the local Tiger Army in China?" Ishihara Kaner was very clear about the situation of the Tiger Army and asked with surprise.

Seishiro Itagaki nodded with a serious expression and said, "It is very likely that our chariots would not be so vulnerable. On the Chinese battlefield, only the advanced chariots equipped by the armored forces of the Tiger Army will have such power!"

"But, how did the Chinese transport these advanced tanks into our Great Japanese Empire? Shipping is definitely impossible. Only air transport! Could it be that the Chinese air force is strong enough to air transport tanks and tanks?" Ishihara smiled at the boss with his mouth open and said in surprise.

Seishiro Itagaki naturally could not explain or answer.

"Not good!" Ishihara Kaner suddenly slapped the table and shouted in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Seishiro Itagaki asked in confusion.

"Immediately, order each division to build a defensive position immediately to prevent the frontal attack of the Chinese armored assault troops!" Ishihara Kanir was startled and sweated in a cold sweat and told Itagaki Seishiro.

Thinking that the infantry units of several divisions of our side were still encircling the battle areas between the tanks and tanks of both sides, and once the armored troops of the Chinese army suddenly turned around and launched a raid on any division, the imperial army that was marching would definitely be unable to resist.

It is necessary to know that in field battles, if there is no strong defensive position as a support, the ground troops are not the opponent of the armored assault troops at all, especially the tanks and tanks equipped by this armored assault troops are all very advanced and powerful new types of combat vehicles, and ordinary anti-tank weapons can't do anything to him.

After being reminded by Ishihara Kanir, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly realized that he almost conveyed Ishihara Kanir's meaning to the combat staff.

However, Ishihara Kanir woke up a little late. After completely defeating the Japanese tank and armored troops and destroying more than 100 Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, Qiao Anbang immediately ordered the troops to stop chasing and turned around and rumbling towards Osaka.

Qiao Anbang's goal was very clear, that was, to attack the Third Guard Division, which was surrounding them with lightning speed.

Because our tank troops retreated too suddenly and too quickly, when the Guards Division received news and received a warning message from the local defense headquarters, a huge steel torrent of 166 Leopard tanks led by Qiao Anbang had appeared less than twenty miles away from the vanguards of the Third Guards Division.

This intelligence was naturally provided by Japanese reconnaissance aircraft in the air.

In shock, Lin Yoshitaro, the commander of the Third Guard Division, immediately ordered the troops to retreat quickly in the direction of the coming. They wanted to retreat to a small town less than 40 kilometers away from Osaka, and use the town to block the sudden powerful armored troops, because they no longer had time to build fortifications on the spot.

After the order was conveyed, the Imperial Warriors of the Third Guard Division were puzzled. They originally planned to use this battle to avenge the compatriots who died in the Osaka fire. Now they retreated without even seeing the Chinese people. Of course, the Japanese soldiers would arrive and be surprised and questioned.

However, no matter how confused the Japanese soldiers were, the good discipline of the Japanese soldiers was undoubtedly revealed at the moment. Although they were unwilling and extremely reluctant, the Japanese troops of the Third Guard Division still followed the orders and retreated.

However, the next development has far exceeded expectations of some Japanese grassroots troops, especially the Japanese who changed the front team to the former vanguard troops.

After they had just retreated less than ten kilometers, a Chinese tank armored unit suddenly appeared and attacked them with extremely rapid machine guns and artillery fire.

In front of the steel torrent consisting of one or two hundred tanks, the resistance of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers behind the hall seemed so weak and powerless. The battle continued for less than ten minutes, and hundreds of Japanese were all knocked to the ground by rain-filled machine gun bullets and powerful artillery shells.

Immediately, the tank cluster rumbling past their bodies, crushing most of the Japanese corpses into flesh mud, and the entire battlefield instantly became extremely bloody and terrifying.

Qiao Anbang was unmoved by this and continued to command his troops to pursue him. His goal was to kill and hurt the 3rd Guard Division, which was caught off guard as much as possible in the field.
