Just when Zhang Tiansheng was dejected and sighed with bad luck, a trace of fish had appeared in the sky. Song Yuhang and Chang Tianfang, who were evacuating under the roadbed, were watching Huangzhuang, while Yokota Kanichi in Huangzhuang was also observing the situation outside the village.

Last night, he refused the request for reinforcements from the 29th Infantry Regiment, and was concerned about the First Mechanized Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which was eyeing the covetous position outside the village. Yokota Kamiichi believed that the arrival of the last night was probably only one of the mechanized units under the First Mechanized Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, because it is impossible to deploy so quickly with the mobility of the Chinese army.

Now Yokota Kamiichi is calm and composed. He is waiting patiently for an opportunity. Huangzhuang's special geographical location makes his fast detachment in a favorable terrain where he can attack and retreat or defend.

If one of the First Mechanized Army could be wiped out, then the heavy losses of the 29th Infantry Regiment before would not be considered a loss. Yokota Kanyi, who was extremely selfish, had his own little plan. His Yokota Rapid Tank Detachment belonged to the Front Army, and this battle was only temporarily assigned to the Second Division. Therefore, he had always been in a manner that he could not ignore or listen to the orders of the division commander Kiyosaburo Okazaki, because the reason why the Yokota Rapid Tank Detachment existed was because of the existence of chariots. If these chariots were destroyed, then the Yokota Rapid Tank Detachment would lose its meaning of existence.

And Yokota Kamiichi's military career will also end.

At 8 a.m., the early morning mist had been dispelled by the sun. Yokota Kanichi did not wait for the flaws exposed by the Chinese army, but waited for the commander of Okazaki Kiyosaburo Division to be scolded very harshly!

Okazaki Kiyosaburo bluntly warned Yokota Kanichi that if Domain is lost, Yokota Kanichi will bear full responsibility for this.

Okazaki Kiyosakiro's warning did not have any effect on Yokota Kanichi, and it was originally for Okazaki Kiyosakiro himself

The tank detachment was dissatisfied with the blocking war, Yokota Kanichi, who was dissatisfied with the ranks and made an argument to the front commander Masazo Kawabai, on the grounds that the blocking war would seriously limit the combat power of the tank troops, and positional warfare was not conducive to the tank troops' performance of their strong mobility.

Yokota's statement of cross-level rank gave Kawabian Masazo a very bad premonition, and fierce battle was about to happen. There was such a big dispute between the generals on the front line?

Since taking over as commander of the Myanmar Front, Kawabian Masao has always advocated that the specific tactical implementation be controlled by the division commanders himself, because he always believed that only officials and assistants at the forefront had the most say. However, Kawabian Masao found that while he gave his subordinates great autonomy, he was gradually losing influence on the subordinates' local officials. In the past, the conflicts between officials and assistants at the same level were not prominent because of the suppression of superiors. However, since Kawabian Masao decentralized power, especially the conflicts between officials and assistants at the same level on the tactical implementation of command power suddenly intensified.

When Masazo Hebang was worried, Chang Tianfang dispatched the armored reconnaissance company had contact with the Yokota Rapid Tank Detachment Timatsuo Squadron while conducting close-in reconnaissance in Huangzhuang.

The First Tank Regiment of the First Mechanized Division, the five m3a light tanks in the direct armored reconnaissance company entered the lurking area of ​​the Matsuo Squadron of the Japanese Yokota Rapid War Tank Detachment about three kilometers behind the Huangzhuang side.

Xing Sen, the company commander of the armored reconnaissance company of the first tank regiment, discovered the roughly lurking direction of the Japanese army from the traces of the ground vegetation crushing ground. In order to make specific confirmation, Xing Sen organized five M3a1 tanks under his jurisdiction to carry out two rounds of tentative firepower projections on suspicious areas.

Due to the relationship between the chariot bunker and sight line, Matsuo Squadron was unable to attack the Chinese armored forces on their flanks.

Xing Sendi woke up the snake and alarmed Matsuo. He thought that his side had directed his team to start the chariot and rush out of the bunker with the diameter of the exposed chariot. The weight of the Japanese Type 97 medium-sized tank was about 15 tons, and the hot start time was two minutes.

The Japanese army commanded the troops to run between the chariots and the bunkers were conveyed. After Matsuo Squadron completed the start and drove the chariots out of the bunkers. Xingsen's reconnaissance team had already withdrawn to the south of the highway.

"The Japanese Army's Type 97 medium-sized chariot? Are you sure you are not reading it wrong?" Chang Tianfang looked at Song Yuhang and then stopped his eyes on Xing Sen.

Xing Sen nodded seriously and said, "It should be the Japanese Type 97 chariot, but the shape of the turret is somewhat different, and it is equipped with a short-barrel 75mm cannon, which is the same model as the one that was destroyed by us at Zhuangkou last night." Song Yuhang raised his telescope and looked at the wreckage of the Japanese chariot in Zhuangkou. He smiled and said, "The m4 chariot weighing nearly 30 tons can barely rely on its own weight to offset the recoil of the short-barrel 76mm cannon. The Japanese actually pressed the 75mm cannon to the Type 95 medium-sized chariot with a weight of only 15 tons?"

Although the Japanese behavior is ridiculous, Song Yuhang and Chang Tian verbally despise the Japanese deformed tanks while paying great attention. The M4 tank battlefield survivability equipped by the First Tank Regiment of the First Mechanized Division is far better than the Japanese Type 97 medium-sized tanks. However, within a certain distance, this Japanese deformed tank equipped with 75mm caliber chariot cannons can completely destroy the m4 tanks.

What worried Song Yuhang the most was that the intelligence obtained from the investigation showed that the Japanese chariot troops in Huangzhuang should have entered the same time as the Japanese army in Tuantian, but they had been waiting for the Japanese army in Tuantian to be defeated and were almost wiped out. The Japanese chariot troops in Huangzhuang were not moving at all, but they were sitting firmly on Diaoyutai?

The puzzled Song Yuhang wanted to contact the radio station of the Expeditionary Force Commander-in-Chief's headquarters and spoke directly with Wei Lihuang to request confirmation whether the Japanese army in western Yunnan showed signs of large-scale increase in troops?

One hour later, through Allied air reconnaissance and various intelligence gatherings, the Japanese army showed no signs of increasing troops! Now Song Yuhang became even more confused?

The main force of the Japanese Second Division was besieging Song Xilian's troops of the 11th Army. It is logical that they can divide a corps into a gang to block Chinese reinforcements, but why did the two Japanese troops not support each other and cooperate? What exactly made the Japanese chariot troops sit on the verge of defeat?

Song Yuhang's first mechanized army had more than 35,000 people, and was blocked by a fast chariot detachment equivalent to a chariot corps in the Japanese army for three full hours.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Song Yuhang exhausted his last trace of patience and decided to concentrate all mountain artillery mortars to carry out artillery fire strikes on Huangzhuang, and then concentrate the five tank companies of the First Mechanized Division to assault from the front, and the Second Motorized Infantry Division and the Third Infantry Division attacked from the left and right wings respectively.

Yokota Kanichi Yokota, who was in a dilemma, received a report from his subordinates that the Chinese army was mobilizing from the direction of the regiment field. Although the direction and intention of the mobilization were unclear, it was at least no less than two divisions in terms of scale.

Standing under the scorching sun, Yokota Kanichi felt no warmth. It was a great adventure to block the Chinese army of two armies with an infantry gang and a chariot. Tuantian Town is located in a small plain, and is located in a place where it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Moreover, one of the reinforcements of the two Chinese armies to be blocked is the elite first mechanized army in Chongqing.

The large-scale First Mechanized Army also really scared Yokota Kamiichi. Originally, Yokota Kamiichi thought that the Chinese army that appeared last night was just one of the First Mechanized Army, so he still stood firm in Huangzhuang with a lucky mentality, hoping to find the flaws of the Chinese army and break them.

Now that he finally figured out the strength of his opponent, he estimated that the China tank troops who were eager to try were at least nearly 100, and most of them were American-made m4 tanks. Heavy tanks were not included. Once those heavy tanks arrived on the battlefield, the doomsday of the Yokota Rapid War Tank Detachment was not far away.

Yokota Kanichi was keen on martial arts, but it did not mean that he could give everything for martial arts and honors. The order he received was to block the Chinese army for 72 hours here. However, facing the Chinese army with absolute advantage, Yokota Kanichi had no confidence and no confidence to complete this impossible task.

The open retreat was obviously disobeying military orders. Yokota Kamiichi believed that with Okazaki Kiyosaburo's character and style, he would definitely not let him go easily!

Finally, Yokota Kamika thought of a very smart way. He used the weaknesses and habits of the Chinese military generals who liked to preserve the strength of their headquarters and constantly used various fake tactics to lure the Chinese army, causing them to hesitate. The main force of the Yokota Rapid Tank Detachment retreated and fought. This not only accomplished the delay of the Chinese military orders by Lieutenant General Kiyosaki Okazaki's army, but also preserved the strength of the detachment. It was a killing two birds with one stone.

Yokota Kanichi's retreat was very timely. At the last moment when Song Yuhang was deploying, the Yokota Rapid Tank Detachment retreated radially towards Longling.

The sudden retreat of the Japanese army made Song Yuhang more cautious, but he was cautious, and the 11th Army was in danger. The first mechanized army, who was responsible for the heavy lifting of the siege, naturally did not dare to slack off. Song Yuhang was not those generals who kept their own strength. In his eyes, there was only the difference between friendly forces and enemy troops. This was something Yokota Kanichi did not expect.

Chang Tianfang commanded his subordinates' five tank companies and formed a sharp knife. The sharp knife was pressed against Yokota Kamiichi's butt, which was unexpected to Yokota Kamiichi. Yokota Kamiichi's most shocked was that a large number of Chinese motorized infantry were actually following the tank attack team.

After several small-scale firefighting exchanges, after losing nine tanks, Yokota Kanichi completely lost the courage to turn around and fight. In order to get rid of the Chinese tank troops that were following and pursuing, Yokota Quick Chariot Detachment retreated towards Longling at full speed.

Regarding the orders of Okazaki Kiyosaburo, Yokota Kanichi could disobey the Yang, but he did not dare to ignore the orders of his direct elder, Masato Motota, the commander of the 33rd Army.

In the afternoon, Honda Masato directly connected to the radio frequency of the Yokota Rapid Tank Detachment. The calm voice of Honda Masato ordered Yokota Kanichi who had retreated to Longling to defend on the spot. If Longling is in a mistake, Yokota Kanichi will be a septum to thank the Emperor.

Okazaki Kiyosaburo shouted that he wanted to send Yokota Kanichi to the military court, and Yokota Kanichi sneered at this, but Yokota Kanichi did not think that a Honta Masato who said it would scare him.
