Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

The lieutenant colonel continued.

"What! The 4th Cavalry Brigade was also killed? Who did it? When did our troops give the order to attack the Japanese Cavalry Brigade?"

Sun Ke subconsciously believed that it was his Ninth Army that killed the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

However, this is definitely going to make people laugh.

"Report to the commander... none of our troops have fought against the Japanese cavalry brigade... I guess, it should be... an independent column..."

The lieutenant colonel expressed his suspicion.

They all knew that the independent column was already stationed nearby, but they did not know the specific location.

And Sun Ke has never ordered an attack on the Japanese cavalry brigade... He is not stupid, the cavalry brigade is so mobile.

He doesn't have many cannons... How can he fight this? If the shells are fired one after another, it will not only expose the position of the artillery regiment... but also very likely to be counterattacked by the Japanese cavalry brigade.

"The independent column... is really possible..."

"I didn't expect...this independent column would move so fast..."

"Once launched...it was a cavalry brigade..."

Sun Ke thought of the artillery unit of the Independent Column... They were extremely rich.

There are so many big guns... Just firing cannons can kill these little devils, let alone other things...

"This independent column... came at the right time... just when we were attacked by the Japanese... However, it is a good thing..."

"Watch us win the battle... Even if we don't win, there will still be an independent column behind us... Send a telegram to the independent column immediately... and ask where they are..."

"Once we fail... we will directly lead the Japs to the location of the independent column... At that time, it will be the independent column that fights the Japs... and our Ninth Group Army will sit back and reap the benefits!"

Having said this, Sun Ke showed a sinister smile on his face.

Only he...can think of such a thing.

But...even if I figure it out, so what.

What he didn't know was...the Japanese attack was very ferocious.

But his own troops will be defeated one after another.

......

As soon as the order from the commander of the 21st Division, Tanaka Kui, was given, the Japanese took action.

Apart from anything else, the Japs are really fast.

In just a few hours, the 71st Infantry Regiment and the 72nd Infantry Regiment had arrived at the designated position and engaged the st and nd Corps of the Ninth Group Army.

The Third Infantry Regiment is also looking for the location of the 73rd Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army headquarters.

He also led Koji Kan's special forces to search for the locations of some senior officials of the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army... in an attempt to behead these people.

Further replicating the incident of General Tang.

After General Tang committed suicide, it also had a certain impact on the Central Army troops, especially the soldiers. Therefore, on the Western Front battlefield, the Central Army suffered successive defeats...

The entire Western Front battlefield has fallen short... There is still one unit that is taking advantage of the natural dangers of the Yellow River to continue fighting against the Japanese independent mixed brigade.

The 21st Division directly sent out the tank regiment sent by Gangcun Ningsheng.

A tank regiment is basically composed of the regiment headquarters, 4 tank squadrons and other logistics support units...

Under the regiment headquarters are one Type 1 medium tank and two Type 2 light tanks...

The 1st Tank Squadron is mainly a light tank squadron... equipped with light tanks. It has 4 tank squads, each squad is equipped with 3 Type 12 light tanks, a total of Type light tanks. ...

第2—4中队装备中型坦克，每个中队下辖3个战车小队，每个小队装备3辆九七式中型坦克....在加上中队本部也有1辆九七式中型坦克和2辆九五式轻型坦克.....

This adds up to 32 Type 20 medium tanks and Type light tanks. The tank wing does not have such fleshy things as armored vehicles.

However, the Japanese 21st Division has an armored vehicle unit.

It is mainly equipped with Type 10 armored vehicles, also known as Xiaoduding tanks, of them in total.

Although the firepower of the Xiaodouding tank is only one 1mm caliber heavy machine gun, which is not very large, its protective capabilities are still adequate.

The front can directly resist 82mm caliber mortar shells and 75mm caliber infantry artillery shells...

On the current battlefield of the 71st Army, the Japanese directly dispatched their armored vehicle units.

There are also tank regiments and two infantry brigades.

The main reason is that the 71st Army is located too far to the west... and the commander of the 21st Division wants to gather these Jinsui Army and eliminate them one by one.

In this way, you will be able to fight with ease...

However, this is also in line with Zhang Yunqing's wishes... As long as the Japanese dare to gather near Jiyuan County... they will face endless attacks from the independent column...

Yangcun.

The headquarters of the 71st Army is located.

The Japanese have also begun to attack.

Among them, the 21st Division specially sent deputy division commander Nakakai Kazuki Colonel to take command.

He now had a tank regiment... an armored car squadron... and two and a half infantry groups.

In total, there are more than 4000 soldiers... They are somewhat confident in dealing with the tens of thousands of 71st Army.

"Your Majesty Colonel...The 71st Army is right in front of you...Our artillery is ready..."

"8 Type 8 infantry guns... Type field guns..."

"All ready...awaiting your orders."

An infantry brigade major was very respectful.

"Very good...Shinohara-kun...Thank you for your hard work...Let's start the attack now..."

"This matter cannot be delayed for too long...attack immediately!"

"Your infantry brigade will start from the west side of Yangcun...I will send a tank squadron to support you..."

"The Second Infantry Battalion starts from the east front...attacks Yangcun! Two tank squadrons assist them..."

"Others, attack from the north!"

"Hi!"

Time passed by minute by minute.

The Japanese artillery began to bomb.

Boom boom boom....boom boom boom....

A dozen cannons fired together, catching the 71st Army by surprise.

"Cannon...the Japanese attack is coming..."

"Everyone assemble... everyone assemble... prepare to attack!"
