Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

He already felt despair. He dared to swear that he had never seen such a fierce attack in his life. Before coming, he knew that he would face sniping from the Tang Dynasty army, so he had already made plans to force his way through under the firepower.

However, his plan was shattered. With such firepower, only corpses could be carried by others, and they were incomplete corpses at that.

However, the order to retreat is easy to give, but it is difficult for the troops to execute it. Under such firepower, anyone who stands up and runs backwards will become a sitting duck!

"Stop firing!" A battalion commander shouted a cease-fire order upon seeing this situation. The Japs were either hiding behind some rocks or earth piles, or lying on the ground. In this situation, intensive shooting would only be a waste of ammunition!

We have plenty of ammunition, but we can't waste it like this!

"All units, coordinate with the mortars to shoot down the Japanese behind the obstacles! Assault troops, assemble, charge up and take care of the remaining Japanese. No one is allowed to fire!"

In fact, the infantry regiment does not have an independent assault force, but is temporarily formed by each company when needed. In addition to the driver, each BJ212 jeep has an M16 precision shooter sitting in the co-pilot, who is responsible for shooting important enemies.

In the back row, an MG42 machine gun was mounted, with a shooter and an ammunition handler, a total of four people in the vehicle, all of whom were elites selected from each class.

All 18 MG42 machine guns of the first battalion were mounted on jeeps parked on both sides of the road.

Two minutes later, the mortars extended their fire, and the assault convoy rushed onto the road, speeding towards the remaining Japanese devils!

......

Half an hour later, a battalion commander ran excitedly into the temporary command post of the 666th Regiment in Gaohedian.

"Chief of Staff, this battle was so exciting!"

This was almost an ambush that was doomed to fail. If the Japs had been a reorganized regiment, the battle might not have ended so quickly, but this was a mixed regiment. Fang Yue even felt that it took the first battalion nearly an hour to end the battle, which was a bit too much!

"Captain of the First Battalion, please give a brief report on the battle situation!"

"Yes! From the exchange of fire with the Japanese to the end of the battle, the first battalion spent a total of 45 minutes. Except for more than a hundred Japanese who escaped during the chaos, the remaining 3100 Japanese were all killed, and three majors and one lieutenant colonel were captured! The first company is on guard duty, and the second and third companies are cleaning up the battlefield!"

Fang Yue frowned and said, "Well, take these four Japanese lieutenants back to the young marshal. What about the captured items?"

"Except for two Type 14 infantry guns, the rest were just some inconspicuous muskets. There were a total of 2 trucks, but only two were still usable. The rest were blown to pieces!"

"The young marshal has said that it doesn't matter what weapons we capture, the bigger the better! Whether the trucks are good or bad, bring them all back to headquarters!"

"The troops are already cleaning up, dismantling all those trucks and transporting them back with our own trucks!"

......

At the fork in the road, Liu Quanhua also received a report that the Japanese support from Quwo County had also arrived. Their strength was also around 3000 people, but they were a mixture of Japanese and puppet troops. The Second Battalion of the 667th Regiment wiped them out in less than half an hour.

A temporary reinforcement force was also formed in the Xiangling direction, with the intention of crossing the Fen River from Bozhuang to support Linfen.

It was a pity that the madman Liu Quanhua and the 667st Battalion of the 800th Regiment were in Bozhuang. Not a single person left this temporary team of Japanese devils alive, not even a single prisoner was taken, because the highest commander was only a captain.

On September 9, the 9th Regiment had completely controlled Pu County, and Xu Le quietly led the tank troops back to the Meidongshan headquarters in the middle of the night last night.

Judging from the clearance situation, the tank information was not leaked.

"Young Marshal, Yamaguchi Keiko is here!"

At the driver training ground, Xu Le stood in front of 30 Type 59 tanks, while the tank soldiers were discussing together in groups.

The 60 soldiers who took part in the battle were surrounded, and everyone wanted to know the actual combat effect!

As Keiko Yamaguchi approached this familiar yet unfamiliar training ground, she was stunned because she knew very well what she saw.

tank!

These days she hardly left the house, and other than that her life went on as usual: she ate what she should eat, drank what she should drink, and went to bed early and got up early.

No one knows what she is thinking!

Only Xu Le understood that Yamaguchi Keiko had been trying to regain the edges that had been worn away recently. Only when she regained the pride that had been shattered could she become a real agent again.

But Xu Le would not do as the other party wished, so he planned to use a drastic measure!

After 10 minutes, Xu Le finally woke up the distracted Yamaguchi Keiko: "Miss Keiko, what happened? Didn't you get enough rest?"

"Oh it's all right!"

It was just a casual remark by Xu Le, but in Yamaguchi Keiko's eyes it was like a death horn, the sound could pierce the soul.

"Young Marshal, you sent someone to find me here. Is there something wrong?"

Xu Le waved his hand and pointed at the tanks, saying, "Miss Huizi, didn't I promise you that my department just got a batch of tanks, so I asked you to take a look. Miss Huizi, you can go and see how these compare to your Fuso tanks!"

Yamaguchi Keiko only glanced at the tank and then looked away: "No need to look, my empire's tank is just a symbol. The young marshal's tank is definitely very powerful just by its appearance. I'm afraid my empire's most powerful Type 97 tank is nothing compared to your tank. Can I ask what its name is?"

Xu Le ignored what Yamaguchi Keiko said. He grabbed her hand and went towards a tank, which was the one he drove yesterday.

"Type 15 tank, I know! It is your strongest medium tank, but this is just your wishful thinking. It weighs only 25 tons, and the thickest part of the armor is only mm, the same as the light tanks of European countries.

Let me introduce you to this medium tank developed and produced by Datang. It is called the Type 59 main battle tank. It has a combat weight of 36 tons. The thickest armor is over 200 mm, and even the thin side armor is 80 mm.

Xu Le pointed at the gun barrel of the tank and said, "It was this tank that I personally drove to attack Pu County yesterday. I fired a total of 18 100mm shells. Wow, the Japanese defenders were in trouble!"

.....

Xu Le kept introducing, and Yamaguchi Keiko never interrupted him from beginning to end, because her brain had short-circuited when she heard about 200mm armor and Datang's independent production.

As an agent of the Special Agent Department of the First Army of the North China Front Army, she is well aware of the military strength of countries around the world.

She had never heard of a tank in the world with armor thickness of 200 mm, not even 100 mm.

Even the T34 tank finalized by the Bear Country this year has armor thickness of only 45-degree inclined homogeneous steel.

The little bit of confidence she had regained in the past few days disappeared again. Because of another blow, a shadow slowly formed in her heart, which was left by Xu Le.

It’s not those powerful weapons, nor are they tanks!
