Chapter 218 Dozens of Broken Tanks

Wuhan, the 10th Japanese Army Command...

When the commander of the 10th Japanese Army, Noda Miyahiko, saw the telegram he had just received, his face turned pale and was furious in the command center. The Japanese Chief of Staff Nagata Sadao, several Japanese commanders and communication soldiers, carefully lowered their heads and stood aside, not even daring to show off.

"Hata Shigeichi Hatan, a stupid pig with more than 10,000 people, was completely broken. Hatan Shigeichi Hatan was a stupid pig-like commander, and the empire raised a stupid pig." Noda Miyahiko roared in the office.

"Hi! Commander, wise." Nagata Sadao and other Japanese devils bowed their heads and bent down, and echoed loudly.

Noda Miyahiko, who had vented his anger in the command center, calmed down his anger a little, and then said sternly: "Nagata, the entire jade breakup of the Hatan Detachment this time is a major loss to the empire and a shame to the empire. We must wash away this shame."

"Hi! Commander, we must strike this Chinese army well." Nagata Sadao suggested.

"Yes, we must strike this Chinese army well and save the empire's face." Noda Miyahiko said sternly, "Nadaya, where has our reinforcements vanguard reached?"

"Hisser Commander, our reinforcements' vanguard chariot gang and motorized brigade have reached a position more than 50 kilometers west of Jingzhou. In just over an hour, we will be at the city of Jingzhou, and several infantry gangs that will be reinforced are also accelerating their advance."

Noda Miyahiko's face was slightly calmer, but she still said loudly: "Order, the 114th Division in Changsha and the 6th Division in Xiangyang, be prepared for combat and head towards Jingzhou at any time."

"Hiss Commander, are you going to fight a large-scale battle this time? Our three divisions, with nearly 100,000 people, are they just to annihilate this Chinese team?" The Japanese Chief of Staff said in a little shocked manner.

"Nagata-kun, we must be prepared just in case."

"But, Commander, if the 114th Division and 6th Division are mobilized, our troops will be empty in Changsha and Xiangyang. With the local garrison troops, we cannot withstand the attack of China's Fifth War Zone. China's Fifth War Zone has several armies and more than 30 infantry divisions stationed in Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other places." The Chief of Staff of the Japanese reminded worriedly.

After hearing the words of the Admiral Chief of Staff, Noda Miyahiko felt that it was a bit risky to mobilize these two divisions. Noda Miyahiko thought for a long time in the office before he helplessly said to the Admiral Chief of Staff: "Send a report to the Central China Front Army Command and request tactical guidance."

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

More than fifty kilometers east of Jingzhou, the Japanese tank corps dozens of Type 92 light tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles were rumbling along the road, raising dust in the sky. The tanks and armored vehicles were also filled with Japanese infantry.

This Japanese chariot corps has more than 50 Type 92 light tanks, more than a dozen armored vehicles, and hundreds of infantrymen. The total number of the entire chariot corps exceeds one thousand.

Less than 20 kilometers behind the chariot corps, a motorized brigade of the Japanese was also advancing at full speed along the highway. In front of the Japanese motorized brigade were 20 or 30 tricycles. There were three Japanese on each tricycle, and there were also a crooked machine gun on the side of the tricycle.

Behind these Japanese tricycles are more than a dozen armored vehicles, and behind the armored vehicles are twenty or thirty trucks. The Japanese motorcycle brigade also has nearly a thousand people, and the convoy stretches for one or two kilometers.

The captain of the Japanese Chariot Regiment was sitting in an armored command car, holding a telegram sent by the Japanese Wuhan side. The telegram stated that the Botian Detachment had been wiped out and ordered his chariot regiment to advance at full speed and attack Jingzhou.

The captain of the Japanese detachment could not believe his eyes. From receiving a telegram from the Hotan Detachment to his chariot corps, his chariot corps set out from Wuhan, and in just a few hours, the entire army of tens of thousands of people was destroyed.

What kind of Chinese team is this? It is so powerful that the Japanese team leader was a little looking forward to it. He wanted to reach Jingzhou as soon as possible to play a good match with this Chinese team.

It has been more than two years since the chariot corps landed in China for combat. Whether it was in large-scale battles in Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, or in small-scale battles, it was always invincible.

The Japanese corps leader knew in his heart that because the Chinese team lacked anti-tank combat guns, they were helpless against their tanks. Every time they relied on soldiers to risk their lives to hold their own bags to blow up their own tanks, but this method was very effective. Now, his infantry corps has hundreds of troops installed, which can fully protect the tanks and armored vehicles from the threat of the Chinese team's bags.

The Japanese corps captain who was full of expectations wanted to reach Jingzhou immediately, and with his own tanks, he defeated the tens of thousands of teams outside Jingzhou City, making his commander look at him with admiration.

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

Ten kilometers outside Jingzhou City, the Zhong** team had basically cleaned the battlefield. The Japanese corpses dug many large pits and buried them. One large pit buried at least hundreds of Japanese corpses, and most of them were nearly a thousand Japanese corpses.

The Japanese's weapons and equipment were also carefully collected. The soldiers of the 59th Army did not even let go of the damaged weapons. They were all collected and piled up into a very large pile. They were transported back to the ordnance repair office in Yichang to see if some of the guns could be repaired.

The 59th Army had an ordnance repair office of hundreds of people in Yichang, with only a small number of machine tools. The repair of rifles is mainly repaired by fitters, which means that it is basically repaired by manual repair.

The ordnance repair office is a major feature of the Chinese team. Although it cannot make guns, it can repair guns. Some ordnance repair offices can also reload bullets. Whether it is some Kuomintang troops, even the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, there are ordnance repair offices.

For example, the Eighth Route Army's ordnance repair office can reload bullets and make some "border areas" grenades. However, with the help of Zhang Yunfei, the Eighth Route Army's ordnance repair office can already manufacture dozens of rifles and produce tens of thousands of bullets every month. Because Zhang Yunfei supported some military equipment of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army's ordnance repair office has been renamed Taihang Arsenal.

Those undamaged weapons were piled up in a few piles, which looked very eye-catching. Many soldiers of the 59th Army were looking at these weapons with their eyes shining, especially those soldiers of the 59th Army who were still using Hanyang, and could not control their joy. They thought in their hearts that there was finally a Type 38 quick gun.

Although it was made in Hanyang, a German Mauser 98k, its prototype gun, namely the Mauser 98k, is a very excellent rifle, but due to the limited capabilities of several major arsenals in the Kuomintang, the equipment is relatively old, the technology is backward, and the materials are not good. Therefore, compared with Germany, the rifles made are naturally several levels worse.

Therefore, Hanyang made a much worse than the Japanese Type 38 rifle, and many of the 59th Army soldiers were happy that they could use Type 38.

Just as everyone was looking at the seized equipment happily and looked full of joy, a roar came from the sky. Many soldiers looked up at the sky and saw more than a dozen wild horse fighter planes flying low altitude and heading east.

Many soldiers thought to themselves, was it possible that the Japanese troops appeared in front of them, and the command center dispatched planes to strike again.

At this time, Commander Chen from the Third Infantry Division was having a pleasant conversation with several commanders of the 59th Army. Commander Kong from the Cavalry Regiment of the 59th Army rode a tall horse and ran towards him quickly, slammed the horses in front of the few people, quickly turned over and dismounted, stood at attention in front of the few people, and saluted a military salute, reporting loudly: "Sir, there are Japanese reinforcements thirty or forty kilometers east of us, as if they were a chariot corps of Japanese soldiers. According to our scout report, there are dozens of tanks alone."

The commanders of the 59th Army next to him were shocked after listening to the report of Commander Kong of the Cavalry Regiment, and were very anxious and worried. The Japanese tank, which is what everyone calls the Iron Tortoise, left too much shadow in everyone's heart.

The commanders of the 59th Army were all veterans who had been through the battlefield for a long time. Everyone thought to themselves that whether it was in the Battle of Nanjing or the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese Iron Tortoise was rampant. This time, dozens of vehicles were dispatched at once. A chariot gang was really bad.

Commander Chen from the Third Infantry Division saw the worry of several commanders of the 59th Army, so he smiled faintly and said calmly: "Don't worry too much. The Japanese Dowdy's Douding tanks have nothing to be afraid of. Dozens of broken tanks dare to show off. It's really like lanterns in the toilet, just looking for death."

Dozens of broken tanks! Are these dozens of broken tanks? This is a chariot corps of the Japanese. It is an iron turtle that cannot be beaten or chewed. Is the price paid by our ** team in front of it still small? Several division commanders of the 59th Army thought wildly in their hearts.

Feeling the puzzled eyes of several commanders of the 59th Army, Commander Chen of the Third Infantry Division smiled faintly: "We call the Japanese tank Douding Tank, which is the first thing our commander-in-chief calls. It's just an iron box. We still have many such tanks seized in Datong? We usually just use this tank for training and experiments."

After hearing Commander Chen's words, several commanders of the 59th Army thought to themselves, your 36th Group Army has seized a lot of Japanese tanks? You must know that since the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese tanks destroyed by our 59th Army have only been single-digit, and that is the result that has been achieved after paying a lot of casualties. Your 36th Group is so crazy.
