Chapter 182: Battle of Tianjin 17

"Beautiful! Good job, Gouwazi!" Shi Zhihua couldn't help but shouting excitedly when he saw that Gouwazi had accurately hit the Japanese army's new tank this time and solved it with one shot.

The worries and uneasiness about the unknown in his heart disappeared in an instant at this moment.

Since they were able to successfully penetrate the enemy's armor, it meant that they were not as powerful as imagined.

"Destroyed! Our 105mm tank guns can penetrate the Japanese army's new tanks!" Shi Zhihua's slightly excited voice came from the communicator.

At this time, Xu Ren actually saw the hit new Japanese tank on a high ground in the rear.

He witnessed with his own eyes that one of his own artillery shells accurately hit the front armor near the chassis of the Japanese new tank.

The tank was now completely stuck in place and unable to move further.

Then, a Japanese tank soldier climbed out of the tank, but apparently he was unlucky. He fell outside the tank just after climbing out and could no longer move.

"Boom boom boom" artillery shells were flying on the battlefield again. The artillery power of the Japanese army's new tanks should not be underestimated.

Although they could not penetrate the frontal armor of the 1st Armored Division's tanks, these tanks still posed a considerable threat to the 1st Armored Division.

However, the huge power generated by the explosion of a 100mm high-explosive shell is enough to shatter and blow away most of the equipment in the tank. These flying steel fragments are no different from the fragments after the explosion of an artillery shell and are equally deadly.

With a "whoosh", a No. 85 shell hit a Type heavy fighter, but failed to cause effective penetration. Instead, it was bounced off the thick armor, leaving only a dent on the front armor.

"Yoshi! The Empire's heavy tanks have first-rate protection capabilities! The Chinese tank guns can pose no threat to us at all!"

After Division Commander Yoshida Takeo witnessed several Type 34 heavy combat vehicles being hit by the enemy's T85 tanks, only two were unfortunately penetrated due to angle problems, and the other vehicles successfully resisted the mm artillery shells.

"Destroy those damn Chinese tanks! Let them see the might of the Imperial Army's most powerful war machine!" Division Commander Yoshida Takeo shouted excitedly.

He now has full confidence in his troops and believes they can easily defeat the enemy."

A Japanese tank commander roared in his Type 5 tank with a ferocious look on his face: "These damn Chinese tanks! But our Type 5 heavy tanks will definitely defeat them! I will turn this place into a hell for the Chinese!"

At this time, the Japanese Type 100 heavy tank's 34mm artillery continued to roar, and high-explosive shells fell on the T tank like raindrops.

In just a few minutes, three T34 tanks were hit by the Japanese army, their engines stalled and they stopped in place.

Although the tank's exterior did not appear to be penetrated, Xu Ren knew that the crew members inside were probably in danger.

Xu Ren was extremely anxious and shouted into the radio: "Attention all crews, let the Hua-34 tanks deal with the Japanese new tanks! The Ts use high mobility tactical withdrawal to attract the attention of the Japanese new tanks as much as possible, and buy time for the Hua- tanks to regroup. Your main task is to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and avoid direct confrontation!"

At this moment, many members of the T34 crew also realized the problem.

They found that the 85mm rifled tank guns equipped on their tanks could not effectively penetrate the Japanese army's new tanks.

Only with the 105mm rifled gun equipped on the Hua- tanks were they able to fight the Japanese army.

So, they changed their tactics and acted according to Xu Ren's instructions.

After receiving the order from the brigade commander, many people immediately changed their strategies. The T34-85 tanks on the battlefield increased their speed and broke away from contact with the new Japanese tanks.

"Bagayalo! Don't let those cowardly Chinese people get away!" The Japanese tank observers naturally saw that the Chinese tanks that were originally engaging in artillery fire with them were running away at full speed.

The Japanese armored soldiers, who had been suppressed by the Chinese armored forces for a long time, finally had a chance to hold their heads high today.

Seeing the T34s fighting against them running away, they were immediately overwhelmed by victory.

Many Type 34 heavy fighters began to chase the fleeing T tanks, and this pursuit instantly disrupted the Japanese army's pre-deployed strategy.

In addition, there was no communication radio station installed, which resulted in a situation of each fighting on their own. Yoshida Takeo in the rear was originally full of confidence.

At this moment, seeing that those Type 34 heavy fighters that had gotten too excited had actually broken away from the main force and started chasing the Chinese people's fleeing T tanks, his face suddenly changed.

He knew clearly that if these five-style heavy fighters caught up, they would definitely fall into the Chinese trap.

Yoshida Takeo was extremely anxious, but he was unable to stop the soldiers who had already taken the lead.

He could only pray in his heart, hoping that these soldiers would wake up as soon as possible and return to the main force.

However, things did not develop as Takeo Yoshida expected.

The pursuing Five-style heavy weapons were getting farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared from Yoshida Takeo's sight.

At this time, China's armored forces had reorganized and were ready to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.

At Xu Ren's command, the 40 Type Hua Xia tanks of the entire armored brigade quickly assembled to form a powerful assault team.

They fully utilized the mobility and firepower advantages of the 105mm guns, preparing to destroy the remaining 17 Type heavy tanks in one fell swoop.

Xu Ren was well aware of the importance of this battle, so he decided to command it personally. As the brigade commander, he could not retreat and had to stand up when the entire brigade was facing difficulties. He had to lead everyone to defeat the enemy and defend the dignity of the motherland.

After regrouping, Shi Zhihua returned to his familiar gunner's post. He operated the artillery skillfully, ready to fire a fatal blow at any time.

The position of tank commander was handed back to Xu Ren, who will be responsible for commanding the entire combat operation.

Of the four-member team that originally fought together, three have now returned to their familiar positions. They have a tacit understanding and cooperate with each other seamlessly, as if they had returned to the days when they fought side by side.

"Brothers! This time we finally met someone who can be called an opponent!" Xu Ren shouted loudly, his voice full of passion and determination.

“Let’s go all out and show our true strength!”

As Xu Ren's order was issued, 40 Type Huaxia tanks rushed towards the enemy like tigers descending from the mountains.

Their tracks kicked up billowing clouds of dust, and their guns were pointed directly at the direction of the Japanese Type 5 heavy fighter, and they began to launch a fierce attack.

This battle is destined to be a fierce showdown, with both sides possessing powerful weapons and combat capabilities, but Xu Ren firmly believes that as long as the entire brigade works together, they will be able to achieve victory.
