With the addition of the mechanized infantry regiment, the soldiers of the 36th Army had an overwhelming advantage. The number of Japanese soldiers was less than 500, and there were at least a few thousand soldiers of the 36th Army around them.

More than 39 tanks all stopped shelling and opened the cabin doors of the roof. A soldier was flipping the 12.7mm machine gun on the roof and fired at the Japanese. The machine gun fire was terrifying. The Japanese who were hit were all blood holes as big as bowls. A Japanese man was hit by a machine gun bullet and his entire arm was knocked away. The Japanese man, holding his broken arm, rolling and howling on the ground in pain.

Hundreds of Japanese devils showed fear of death in front of death, and their expressions on their faces were very frightened. A few Japanese devils began to tremble, and their hands holding guns were also shaking violently.

Suddenly, a Japanese devil finally couldn't bear such great psychological pressure. He threw the Type 38 rifle in his hand to the ground and began to flee in panic. There was the first Japanese devil, and there were the second Japanese devil. So there were more than a dozen Japanese devils who threw away the rifle in his hand and began to flee blindly.

Seeing the Japanese, many soldiers burst into laughter. One of the soldiers even shouted to the Japanese, "God, come to Grandpa, grandpa, give you peanuts."

The warrior next to him laughed even more happily when he saw the warrior saying this.

There was no suspense in the battle to this extent. After more than ten minutes, the remaining Japanese soldiers were wiped out by the soldiers. A chariot corps of Japanese soldiers was wiped out by the soldiers in just over an hour. In addition, hundreds of Japanese cavalrymen were also included.

Seeing that the battle was over, the commander of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment, Pan Guoxing, walked quickly to Wu Youqing, who had just gotten out of the armored command vehicle, and shouted loudly: "Hello, Chief, Pan Guoxing of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment, said hello to you."

Wu Youqing was the commander of the Armored Division, with the rank of major general, and Pan Guoxing was the commander of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment. He was the rank of colonel. Of course, he had to say hello when he saw the commander. At this time, the regulations in the 36th Army were in the 36th Army.

Seeing Pan Guoxing in good spirits, Wu Youqing joked: "Captain Pan, you still came very timely. At least two or three hundred Japanese devils were eliminated in one go."

"Teacher Wu. It's still your armored group of armored divisions. A Japanese chariot corps was eaten by you. We wanted to take the opportunity to eat some meat, but in the end we only drank a little soup." Pan Guoxing also replied with a smile.

The two exchanged greetings together, but the other soldiers had already begun to clean up the battlefield. They collected the guns and ammunition of the Japanese on the ground and carried the Japanese corpses together. The burning tanks were also put out by the soldiers. These tanks would be dismantled and transported back to the Datong base and rebuilt into steel.

A Japanese tank can recycle at least a few tons of steel each. There are dozens of Japanese tanks here, and the amount of steel that can be recycled is also quite considerable.

On the ground, the Japanese war horse corpses will also be transported back to Datong. The corpses of hundreds of war horses can also be slaughtered a lot of horse meat. These horse meat will be distributed to the canteens of various troops and entered the belly of the soldiers.

The battle ended successfully and it was a great victory, so Wu Youqing immediately sent a report to Zhang Yunfei, who was far away in Datong, reporting on the situation of the battle.

Datong, the 36th Army Command.

Zhang Yunfei held the telegram sent by the correspondent just now, and kept saying, with a smile on his face, and said happily to the people next to him: "The first battle of the Armored Division was really beautiful. With slight casualties, he wiped out a chariot corps of the Japanese devils."

After hearing what Zhang Yunfei said, the Chief of Staff next to him became interested immediately. He took the telegram from Zhang Yunfei, read it several times, and said happily: "Commander-in-Chief, the Armored Division has achieved such a great victory with only one regiment, and he has performed well."

Deng Wenping, director of the political department of the command center, and Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief, were very happy to hear the two leaders say this, and a slight smile appeared on their faces.

"Commander-in-Chief, our tanks and armored vehicles are exposed to the prairie in broad daylight. I am afraid that the Japanese will come to cause trouble for us." Chief of Staff Zuo said worriedly.

He is worthy of being a graduate of Huangpu Phase 1, and Victory did not get lost to the head of Chief of Staff. Although he was very happy just now, Chief of Staff was indeed very calm. He immediately thought of one of the nemesis of the Armored Group. Now, whether it is an armored vehicle or a tank, the air defense firepower is still very weak. If the Japanese plane attacks, it will be a troublesome thing.

Liu Dazhu next to him couldn't help but smile when he heard Chief of Staff Zuo's concerns. Without waiting for Zhang Yunfei to answer, he said proudly: "Chief of Staff, you don't know that the Japanese's plane is already scared by us, and their planes dare not fly here easily."

"Oh, there is something like this." Chief of Staff Zuo smiled in disbelief.

Although Liu Dazhu said this, Zhang Yunfei was still ready to do it just in case. If the Japanese's Mengsui Army was frustrated by him, the Japanese's North China Front Army dispatched aircraft and bombed an armored regiment, the losses might not be less. It is not so easy to produce a tank now. The production of armored vehicles is only a few dozen vehicles per month.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yunfei said: "Dazhu, although that's the case, we still have to do it just in case. Let's send a report to the Cavalry Division, asking the Cavalry Division's mechanized infantry regiment to draw a battalion to assist the Armored Regiment in the air defense."

"Okay, I'll give orders to the cavalry division immediately." Liu Dazhu said seriously immediately.

The Mechanized Infantry Regiment, a battalion with dozens of off-road vehicles, all equipped with 30mm machine guns. These machine guns can be used for anti-aircraft guns. The shooting elevation angle is very large and can be used for air defense. However, the machine guns on armored personnel carriers have relatively small shooting elevation angles, and can basically only shoot upward at a small angle and can't carry out air defense.

After Liu Dazhu left, Zhang Yunfei said to Zuo Qingquan and Deng Wenhua: "Now, the battle has begun. I plan to ask the Cavalry Division Sun Chuanzhi, the Armored Division Wu Youqing, and the Infantry Division Chu Tianming to establish an enemy front command center to temporarily be responsible for battlefield command."

Fighters on the battlefield are often fleeting. If you ask Zhang Yunfei and others back and forth, it may delay the fighter planes and ask the three to set up an enemy front command center, which can temporarily deal with some emergencies. Only some major actions require you to ask Zhang Yunfei.

Thirty kilometers south of Jining.

The soldiers were busy building field tents. The temporary command center in front of the enemy was located here. Two or three kilometers away from the command center, it was the assembly point of the Sixth Infantry Division. The first batch of soldiers of the Sixth Infantry Division had already arrived at this assembly point by truck, and the first batch of soldiers reached several thousand.

Sun Chuanzhi, Wu Youqing and Chu Tianming were standing together and chatting and laughing. The three of them were wearing brand new military uniforms. A golden star on their shoulders was very dazzling. Next to the three were several guards standing straight.

Chu Tianming looked at Sun, Wu and the others, glanced at the tanks and armored vehicles in the distance. His eyes looked very enthusiastic and said to the two with a smile: "I said Lao Sun, Lao Wu, you are all equipped with armored personnel carriers. Lao Sun, you even have dozens of our latest Type 39 tanks. I really envy you."

Wu Youqing looked at Chu Tianming, showed a proud smile on his face, and then said, "Teacher Chu, what a shame, this Type 39 tank is really good. In the tank battle with the Japanese today, a record of 0 to 30 was created. None of our tanks were destroyed, only a few tanks were slightly damaged, and the Japanese's more than 30 tanks were destroyed by us."

Seeing that Wu Youqing was so proud, Sun Chuanzhi looked at Chu Tianming next to him, and then comforted him: "Team Commander Chu, don't be anxious. I believe that in the future, our infantry divisions will also be equipped with tanks and armored vehicles."

Just as the three of them were chatting and laughing together, a soldier ran over quickly and reported loudly: "Three leaders, the temporary command has been established. Please move to the command center."

The temporary command center is composed of several wide field tents. Everything is ready in the command center, several radio stations are also set up, several correspondents are debugging and sending newspapers, and a large table in the center of the command center has been laid with military maps, and several combat staff are busy in the command center.

............

Guisui, Mengsui Army Command.

Naosaburo Okabe held the telegram sent by Takamori Takamori, and his expression was a little dazed. A chariot corps was actually broken. The Chinese team was actually equipped with chariots. Zhang Yunfei, the opponent, was getting stronger and stronger, Naosaburo Okabe thought to himself.

The worried Naosaburo Okabe thought for a long time in the command center before making a decision in his mind to withdraw his troops and preserve his strength. At present, it is difficult to resist the attack of Zhang Yunfei's 36th Army's tens of thousands of troops with just one cavalry brigade of Takashi Takashi and a small number of puppet troops.

Now, the wisest way is to withdraw troops, abandon Jining the Jining area, withdraw the First Cavalry Brigade to Guisui, meet with the 26th Division, concentrate superior forces, and defend against the attack of the 36th Army.

Naosaburo Okabe and Zhang Yunfei's troops had been in contact for a long time. In the past, when Naosaburo Okabe was the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, he fought with Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division and was relatively familiar with Zhang Yunfei's troops.

In Naosaburo Okabe's mind, Zhang Yunfei's troops have strong combat power and advanced weapons. Naosaburo Okabe dared not use a cavalry brigade to fight with Zhang Yunfei's tens of thousands of troops. Other Japanese commanders may make such a mistake and use a small amount of troops to fight with Zhang Yunfei's superior troops, but Naosaburo Okabe will not. (..)
