Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

The smoke from the Nanle City had not yet completely dissipated, but the soldiers of the Tieliu Field Army had already embarked on a new journey.

In the morning, as the last burst of fierce gunfire subsided, Nanle City was declared conquered, and the flag of victory fluttered in the wind on the top of the city.

After dealing with the Yellow Shoe Army prisoners and dropping a few leaflets into the city, the Iron Flow Field Army began to pack their luggage and replenish their ammunition and fuel.

After lunch in the afternoon, the Tieliu Field Army set out from Nanle without stopping and galloped towards Liaocheng.

The wheels rolled, the tracks clanged, and clouds of dust were raised, like an unstoppable torrent, advancing towards the next goal.

Since the original 3rd and 4th Regiments walked out of the Beast-Killing Valley, it took Li Yunlong's troops a full 15 days to reach the city of Liaocheng.

The time taken was much longer than expected, but there was no other way. It was not easy to mobilize a large army, especially to march through an area where the enemy had long been entrenched, facing all kinds of difficulties and unpredictable variables.

Different from the tactics of the previous few days, this time Li Yunlong did not choose to surround Liaocheng, but instead set up his troops on the west side of Liaocheng.

This layout not only maintains sufficient flexibility, but also can form an effective deterrent to the enemy, allowing for offense when advancing and defense when retreating.

If we choose to besiege Liaocheng, if we fail to take it quickly, the surrounding Japanese will swarm in, and we may be faced with being attacked from both sides.

Don't forget that the Tieliu Field Army is not in its own base now, but has penetrated deep into the enemy's interior.

The enemy seemed to have noticed this. They no longer continued to flee as they had done in the past, but instead assembled more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers and 150,000 Yellow Shoe Army, attempting to engage in a decisive battle with our army under the city of Liaocheng.

Due to the large number of troops, the enemy could not deploy all of them in the city.

In the city of Liaocheng, there were only 10,000 Japanese soldiers and 10,000 Yellow Shoe Army soldiers. The rest of the main forces were scattered around Liaocheng, forming a semicircular encirclement.

Shortly after our troops arrived in Liaocheng, a messenger came running over, stood at attention and saluted, then breathlessly said, "Commander Li, Political Commissar Zhao, a call from the Anti-Japanese Headquarters!"

Li Yunlong took the telegram, glanced at it, and immediately frowned: "Damn it, the two battles in Nanle and Liutun were so fierce that the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese was scared into shrinking into turtles and dared not move."

Zhao Gang took the telegram and read it carefully: "What should we do? The original plan was for us to lure them out, and the 1st Armored Column of the Cheetah Army would take the opportunity to go to Shimen to stir things up, so that the Japanese would transfer troops from northeastern Shanxi to support them. Now that they won't move, our plan has gone to waste."

Li Yunlong's eyes turned and a plan came to his mind: "Humph, don't move? Then let's make them move! Lao Zhao, do you think this will work..."

Then, Li Yunlong whispered his plan to Zhao Gang: take advantage of the fact that the Japanese do not understand our strength, launch a tentative attack, and then pretend to retreat due to lack of ammunition to lure them into attacking.

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Old Li, this is a mean trick, but it's also decisive! However, the risk is also high, so you have to be careful."

Li Yunlong laughed loudly: "Haha, Lao Zhao, how can you fight a war without taking risks? Don't worry, I, Li Yunlong, may not have any other skills, but when it comes to fighting, I am still quite capable."

Thus, a carefully planned battle quietly unfolded with the tacit cooperation of the two.

There was continuous artillery fire and smoke everywhere. Our army's artillery fire poured down on the enemy positions in Liaocheng like a storm.

The surrounding Japs also fought back with their long-legged cat cannons. The two sides fought back and forth, and it seemed that neither could do anything to the other.

In fact, due to the excellent mobility and information processing capabilities of our artillery units, there were almost no losses, while the Japanese long-legged cats suffered continuous losses.

However, just twenty minutes later, our artillery fire suddenly weakened and the infantry fighting vehicles slowly retreated.

This move made the Japanese mistakenly believe that our army had run out of ammunition and was no longer able to fight. Finally, they had the opportunity to take revenge, and the surrounding Japanese surrounded our army.

Our army established defensive positions on the spot and engaged in a tug-of-war with the enemy.

This made the Japanese think that our army was at the end of its strength, and that adding one more unit would be the last straw that broke the camel's back and would wipe out our Iron Flow Field Army in one fell swoop.

In the command post of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade in the Xingtai and Handan areas, the brigade commander, Masahiro Yamamoto, received orders from Yamamoto Ningji.

It learned that the Japanese troops on the Liaocheng battlefield needed support, and its 1st Independent Mixed Brigade was selected to carry out this mission.

"Haha, there's hope! This is a rare opportunity!" Ranki Shinji said with a smile to his staff, "It seems that our opponents are just so-so. They are no longer able to fight. This is a good opportunity for us to show our strength!"

The staff members nodded in agreement.

Masahiro Kushiro continued:

"Pass the order down, have the troops prepare to set out immediately to support the friendly forces in Liaocheng battlefield. We must wipe out Li Yunlong's troops in one fell swoop and let them know how powerful we are!"

After thinking for a while with his eyelids drooping, Kushiro added:

"All units should keep it secret. We will march at night and rest in seclusion during the day. When we suddenly appear in front of Li Yunlong's troops, we will definitely catch them off guard!"

"Hayi!"

The staff officers quickly conveyed Masahiro Ushio's order, and the Japanese soldiers of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade began to take action.

However, they did not know that the so-called secret operation was nothing more than an attempt to cover up the truth, and that everything was under the control of our army.

Whether it is day or night, our army's unmanned reconnaissance aircraft monitors the enemy's every move.

By the time this group of devils left Hebei Province, their number had snowballed to 30,000 devils and 50,000 Yellow Shoe Army soldiers.

This included a cavalry regiment.

At this time, the Japanese cavalry units no longer had horses, and like Omanrek's 1st Cavalry Division, they belonged to an armored unit.

Its tanks are no longer Azuki tanks, and the main force is the imitation of the Russian Manrek Croton series tanks. The Azuki tank has not been completely eliminated, and it can at least defend against most light weapons.

The new tank model is GY41A, which means the mass-produced model of the year 41. Its performance ranks third in the world among mass-produced models, after all, it indirectly comes from the technology of Fifty Bay.

The first is our army's tank, and the second is the original Russian Manrek tank.

Its performance parameters are as follows:

Combat weight: 48.9 tons;

Vehicle length: 6.9 meters (excluding the gun barrel);

Vehicle width: 3.63 meters;

Vehicle height: 3.28 meters;

Main gun: GY41 90mm tank gun;

Machine gun: 1 7.62 mm machine gun, with ammunition, used to provide close-range fire support;

Ammunition base: 54 shells;

Engine: Air-cooled gasoline engine with an engine power of 560 kW, or 750 horsepower;

Maximum speed: 45 km/h, but this is only a theoretical value and the actual speed is much lower;

Gradeability: 31 degrees;

Armor type: homogeneous steel armor, cast structure, reactive armor can be added to improve protection capabilities;

Armor thickness: The specific thickness varies depending on the part, the front armor is 30 mm; the gun shield is 8 mm;

Fire control equipment: including electromechanical ballistic computers, optical rangefinders, etc., used to improve shooting accuracy and reaction speed;

Observation equipment: The commander and gunner are equipped with advanced observation instruments to ensure effective command and shooting in complex battlefield environments;

Adding track tensioner wheels: improving the tank's maneuverability and stability on complex terrain;

Enlarged cockpit: provides a more comfortable operating environment for the driver.

Compared with Xiaodou, which is less than one person tall and weighs 3.45 tons, it is naturally incomparable. But in front of our army's anti-tank missiles, the result is needless to say, of course, it died without knowing how it died!
