The battlefield quickly turned into a massacre, and the Japanese army had no resistance or defense at all, fleeing around in pieces.

It should be said that these Japanese troops were quite smart. They knew they could not run back because it was likely to be the enemy's key defense area. This can be inferred from the explosions and gunshots coming from behind before and after the battle started.

As a result, most of the Japanese army fled from the mountainous areas of the two wings.

This choice is correct, because the main target of the air fighter is cars on the road. As it is destroyed one by one, the series of fires ignited by the cars became a barrier to prevent the Japanese army from escaping.

After this barrier, Wu Yuhang also arranged five tanks and two companies of infantry on the Japanese retreat.

The reason why only five tanks were arranged was because in half an hour, there was only time to camouflage the five tanks... It was not easy to camouflage the nearly three-meter-high tanks on the roadside and also to deceive the Japanese.

The way of the China Team was to send the engineer troops up immediately and use an excavator to dig out several pits that can allow the tanks to enter and exit... Then drive the tanks in, cover them with sorghum poles, and the camouflage is completed.

These five tanks played a big role in combat.

After seeing that Colonel Matsumoto had no hope of resistance, he had to settle for the second best, hoping to organize troops to break through... The breakthrough point for its breakthrough was the rear.

Matsumoto did this with his reason: the two wings are empty sorghum fields, and it is almost impossible to chase the tanks on this terrain, so the troops will definitely suffer heavy casualties. However, if they can fight back from the same path, they may retreat to a rather narrow space and prevent the tanks from following through the destroyed road.

At this time, Matsumoto was still holding the hope of bringing the troops out intact, which was proved unrealistic afterwards.

Matsumoto realized this after organizing two breakthroughs... The flames and black smoke released by the explosion of the cars along the way made the Japanese army unable to organize a decent breakthrough, while the enemy occupied the favorable terrain and arranged a line of defense that could almost be broken through with five tanks... The shells and bullets released by the five tanks had already left the range that Matsu instinct could imagine.

This is a fault for the Japanese army's lack of knowledge or training and insufficient preparation... The Japanese 122nd Division and even the Japanese Third Front Army had no experience in fighting with the army of real American equipment. The American equipment they knew was American equipment in China, the kind of "Springfield Rifles" and small-caliber mortars. Even if there were a few tanks, it was a tank like "Stuart".

However, due to the huge number of ** and insufficient logistics supply, even the "Stuart" has not had much equipment.

So it is reasonable that Matsumoto doesn't know how much firepower the five Sherman tanks can have.

This led to the Japanese army piled up at least two squadron bodies at the breakout point. Later, Matsumoto himself lost confidence and had no choice but to join the team that fled to the two wings.

But Matsumoto was unable to escape in the end because he had run away too late, and the enemy's tanks chasing the defeated soldiers were even ahead of him. So Matsumoto suddenly realized that he was surrounded by enemies and he had no way to escape.

Since Matsumoto is now an officer, several soldiers tried to capture Matsumoto alive, but this attempt soon failed. The next second, Matsumoto raised his gun and pointed the trigger at his head without hesitation...

In this battle, the Japanese 2o1 Regiment was almost wiped out, and a unit of more than 3,200 people was killed and more than 800 prisoners were killed, which means that only a few hundred people could escape.

The reason why these hundreds of people were able to escape was because the purpose of the Chinese team was not to chase and kill the defeated soldiers but to capture Shenyang as quickly as possible. Otherwise, even if the Japanese army hid in a mountainous area that was not suitable for tank combat, they would be dug out by the soldiers.

"Very good!" When Zhang Chi heard the results of the battle, he simply gave an order: "Continue to move forward!"

At this time, Zhang Chi was in a very heavy mood, because through the car window, he could see several Chinese people outside with numb expressions from time to time... Perhaps because the Chinese Expeditionary Force was wearing British military uniforms, the people thought they were not their own troops, or perhaps because they had seen too many puppet troops in daily life, so they were also suspicious and vigilant about this army.

What impressed Zhang Chi the most was seeing a family: an elderly woman was walking in front, wearing a pair of ragged trousers made of sacks, and her top was so torn that Feng Gang could cover her thin body. The woman carried a child who was still breastfeeding with a specially made bag on her back. Behind, following her mother were several almost naked children... 2 boys and a girl. At the end, she was a skinny and exhausted man, with a waist arched and carrying a package, and some pots and jars in the package were all their belongings.

Their family was not afraid to see Zhang Chi's army, but just stood by the roadside and waited for them to pass by... They seemed to be saying that they were so poor that they had only the last life left. If they wanted it, they could take it away at any time. Anyway, they couldn't survive.

"Membersman!" Seeing them like this, several soldiers immediately ran up and handed them a few biscuits.

But they dared not accept it because they could not believe that there would be such good things in this world, nor did they believe that there would be anyone in this world who would be willing to help them.

Zhang Chi walked out of the armored vehicle and asked the guard to send several military uniforms to the trembling children. He took the cookies from the soldiers and handed them to the thin man with suspicion on his face, and said, "Take it! We are Chinese troops, we are here to fight the Japanese!"

"You... are really Chinese troops?" The man looked at the tanks and armored vehicles that were rumbling past.

So Zhang Chi knew why men didn't believe it... When did the Chinese troops have so many such advanced equipment?

Zhang Chi nodded and explained: "Of course it's true! We are the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and we fought back from abroad!"

When the man's eyes lit up when he heard the "Chinese Expeditionary Force": "You are the Chinese Expeditionary Force? Are you really the Chinese Expeditionary Force?!"
