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

Tan Shiming, commander of the 71st Army, had already felt the Japanese bombardment at this time.

Originally, they were still deploying a combat plan and thinking about how to deal with the Japanese attack.

No... Before I finished speaking, the bombardment from the Japanese came.

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

Houses near Yangcun were shaking.

A Type 71 infantry artillery shell was fired... and several st Army soldiers were blown into the sky on the spot.

Several houses also collapsed...

Dust was flying all over the sky.

Although the number of Japanese cannons is not very large, it is completely enough for a small Yangcun.

What's more...the 71st Army has nothing to defend against...

Artillery regiment...that's not here yet.

As soon as Tan Shiming felt the bombardment of the cannon, he knew that this must be the work of the little devils... There was no one else except them.

Therefore, the first reaction at this time was to quickly evacuate the troops from Yangcun... and then quickly form a counterattack.

All the soldiers of the 71st Army have slowly gathered... and quickly occupied some surrounding high ground.

"Commander...these devils are not easy to deal with..."

"Look at the bombardment of this artillery... at least there are two artillery brigades..."

"That's more than twenty cannons...should be at least two infantry regiments!"

"That's why we have such firepower..."

Sun Lize, chief of staff of the 71st Army, analyzed on the side... Although the impact of this artillery fire did not reach the level of complete coverage... but for a Japanese infantry brigade, there were only two Type infantry cannons.

This is obviously artillery fire that is only available to at least five or six infantry brigades...

Therefore, Sun Lize was also a little hesitant.

The main reason is that during the previous battle in Taiyuan City, they had always been at a disadvantage against the Japanese.

Basically, there was no ability to fight back... At that time, the Jinsui Army had as many as 18 artillery regiments.

In front of the little devil, these eighteen artillery regiments don't seem to be very powerful... because their artillery units are more powerful... Therefore, Sun Lize has a little shadow.

"Two infantry regiments?"

"I don't think so... If it were really two infantry regiments, the Japanese would have rushed up by now..."

"There's no need to keep firing... I don't know what these devils are thinking... Do they want to annihilate us... or... do they want to find our headquarters?"

Tan Shiming also didn't know what the little devil was doing.

However, one thing is that the Japanese must have discovered Yangcun's movements now... They might have tried the waters to see if there were any troops there.

Now, it's definitely confirmed.

"Don't worry...this group of devils will definitely not give up...order other troops to quickly occupy the highlands in various places..."

"Waiting for the Japs to arrive... I would like to see what these Japs are capable of... being able to annihilate tens of thousands of our 71st Army..."

"Also, send a telegram to Commander Sun...requesting support..."

Tan Shiming still felt that he needed to send a telegram to Sun Ke for instructions.

So there was a scene of Sun Ke deploying plans at the headquarters.

.......

While the Japanese were firing artillery, tank regiments, armored units, and infantry groups also began to attack.

Especially this tank regiment is so powerful...

Yangcun was originally guarded by a force. After Tan Shiming quickly retreated, there was still a small force of six to seven hundred people left.

Stopping the enemy...

"Chariot 2 Squadron...Charge...Charge...Crush these Chinese soldiers..."

"Quickly rush up...cover the infantry for the charge..."

The squadron leader of Tank 2 Squadron was howling inside a Type medium tank.

He already regarded this group of Jinsui troops as dead... Wherever the chariot regiment went... it was invincible.

On the battlefield in Asia, tanks are like gods to the enemy.... Because many countries in Asia rarely have such things as tanks... Even tanks are relatively easy to produce.

However, due to industrial backwardness...it simply does not have that capability.

At first, the Japanese used heavy tanks on the Chinese battlefield... However, as time went by, they discovered that heavy tanks were not needed at all.

On the one hand, it is because China's terrain cannot support heavy tanks...

Secondly, the Chinese army rarely has anti-tank weapons... Just light tanks are enough to have a huge impact on the Chinese army...

For example, the Xiaodouding tank of their armored vehicle unit is a good example now...

Although it is small in size, it is invincible... No army can fight it.

For example, 82mm caliber mortars...which are often used by the Central Army...cannot penetrate the armor of this little bean tank...

Even the Type 92 infantry artillery cannot penetrate it.

At the very least, you need a cannon of 90mm or above to attack the Xiaoduding tank...

However, whether it is the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army or other troops, except for the independent column, who has so many large-caliber howitzers.

Now, the Japanese armored vehicle units have already entered the battle.

The Second Tank Squadron, carrying armored vehicles, took the lead in attacking....

The rumbling sound also made the soldiers responsible for covering the retreat of the large forces feel frightened...

"Tank...tank!"

"No...battalion commander, the Japs tanks are coming!"

"They dispatched a tank unit...it must be a large unit!"

"What should we do?"

A soldier looked up at his battalion commander.

The battalion commander was also a little confused.

He has only seen tanks a few times... and knows that if you want to deal with tanks, just using rifles and cannons is useless...

During the battle of Taiyuan City, they all strapped explosives and rushed forward...

Now...the Japanese tank troops are here...are they going to strap explosives on them too?

"what to do....."

"Fighting...retreating at the same time..."

"The commander's side is probably almost gone...the position is almost ready..."

"This Yangcun...can't be defended by just a few of us..."

"It's better to retreat now..."
