Platoon leader Li Zigui pointed to Yangjiacun, ten miles away from Baoshan County, and said: "Here! The main force of the Japs should be here."

Wei Mingyang said: "We will treat the enemy here and attack from Yangjiacun to Baoshan County."

Then he looked at Commander Lu and said, "Commander! You lead the security platoon and the four of them into Baoshan County!"

Captain Lu looked at the team here and said: "There are only about a hundred people in total. If I take away more than a dozen people, the team will be even smaller."

He turned back to Stilwell and said, "Colonel! I'll send Platoon Commander Li to lead the way and take you back to Baoshan County!"

Once you enter Baoshan County, Battalion Commander Yao will arrange for you to retreat back to Shanghai as soon as possible."

Listening to the intensive sound of gunfire in the distance, Stilwell smiled bitterly and said, "I feel it would be safer to go with you."

Colonel Stilwell really thought so: he had seen the combat effectiveness of this team before.

He still doesn't know the combat effectiveness of the national army in Baoshan County.

But Stilwell knew one thing: if they fell into the hands of the Japanese, they would definitely not survive tomorrow.

In fact, he extremely regretted not carrying the radio on his back when he set off, or handing it over to these national troops.

The radio station he brought was inside the jeep and there was no time to get it out.

On the contrary, this national army team of more than ten people did not even drop a single shell.

With the previous lesson, he was unwilling to leave the team this time.

After he said so, Captain Lu was not coquettish and immediately ordered: "Let's go!"

Platoon leader Li Zigui was still leading the way, but the gunner of the first tank had been replaced.

Wei Mingyang served as the gunner of the first tank, Lu Fei served as the observer, and Yang Dazhu served as the machine gunner.

Li Zigui came here a few days early, and he also led his team to defend the Japanese in Yangjia Village.

I am very familiar with the roads here,

Captain Suzuki Kazuma received the order to feint attack Baoshan County at noon. At that time, he sent the Shiina Yusuke Squadron to attack. However, before going there, he specifically gave instructions to the squadron leader Shiina Yusuke: "You only need to send a small team to make a feint attack."

That’s fine.”

That's what Squadron Leader Shiina did, but after it attacked like this for an hour, it received the latest order from the squadron leader: "Attack with all strength!"

Its all-out attack only allowed Shiina Yusuke's infantry squadron to attack with all its strength.

The entire Japanese army of Suzuki Kazuma was stationed in Yangjiacun, which they had just captured the day before yesterday.

Now it has become the headquarters of Suzuki Kazuma's brigade, and the Japanese have dug trenches and fortifications along the outskirts of the village.

This is their habit. Everywhere they go, they must first build fortifications.

It is already evening now, the sun has just set, and the afterglow is still shining on the sky.

Captain Suzuki Kazuma stood in the largest compound in Yangjia Village, looking at the sunset.

Addressing the infantry squadron leader Sekikou Baosuke beside him, he said: "I just received news from the regiment headquarters that the third field artillery regiment will arrive in Yangjiacun tonight.

Tomorrow the Sixth Infantry Regiment will arrive at the Baoshan front line, and the real battle will begin tomorrow.

With the heavy artillery of the Third Field Artillery Regiment, Baoshan County will be captured tomorrow.

Sekiguchi-kun, have a good rest tonight!"

"Hai!" Squadron leader Sekiguchi Yusuke stood at attention and agreed.

He asked in confusion: "The three Americans in Baoshan County, is there anything special about them?"

Why must they be killed?"

"This is an order directly issued by Commander Matsui Iwane. The specific reason is unclear." Captain Suzuki Kazuma replied.

While they were chatting in the yard, they suddenly heard a huge roar of machinery coming from outside the village.

This sound is very familiar to the Japanese, it is the sound of their tanks starting up.

"Is this the arrival of the division's tank squadron?" Captain Suzuki Kazuma was a little confused. He had not received any notification that a tank squadron would come to assist in the battle.

Just when it was confused, Wei Mingyang and the others had already rushed in front of Juma, the Japanese's first line of defense.

Rensuke Okamoto and Yoshiaki Sotake went up to the sentry and looked at the tank at the head with no intention of stopping.

Among the Japanese combat teams, teams such as chariot squadrons certainly have a much higher status than infantry like them.

The Japanese infantry have long been accustomed to the arrogance of the chariot squadron.

The two Japanese soldiers ran out quickly, trying to lift the horse away and let the tank pass.

Just after they lifted the horse away: "Da da da!"

The machine gun on the tank fired.

The first tank had two machine guns on it, firing on the left and right at the Japanese.

The two Japanese Japs, Okamoto Rensuke and Somu Yoshiaki, who were completely unprepared, suddenly fell into a pool of blood without even making a move to struggle.

There was a Japanese detachment on guard at this post, and the detachment leader Mukai Yosei saw six tanks approaching.

The entire detachment of Japanese soldiers watched these tanks approaching with only joy and excitement, without the slightest hint of precaution.

National tanks on the battlefield? They have never been seen.

Moreover, these tanks were obviously Type 89 medium tanks of his own team. What Mukai Yosei’s team did not expect was:

As soon as the resisting horses were moved away, the tanks opened fire.

The entire unit was completely unprepared and was fired upon by machine guns.

Team leader Mukai Yosei only had time to shout: "Ba Ge!"

He was shot and fell down. The thirteen Japanese in his unit all fell at the sentry post, and none of them escaped.

The five tanks following Wei Mingyang had dispersed at this time, dividing the Japanese fortifications into several sections, and opened fire on the Japanese inside.

The tanks advanced while firing, and groups of soldiers jumped out from the motorcycles behind them.

These soldiers rushed into the trenches with machine guns and rifles and began to clean up the remaining Japanese soldiers after the attack.

The six tanks did not stay on the defense line. They just broke through the Japanese defense line and moved forward in a row.

Behind them were some motorcycles, and the soldiers who had got off the motorcycle were cleaning up the Japanese on the outer defense line.

The soldiers in this group of motorcycles mounted machine guns on top of the motorcycles and continued to charge behind the tanks.

This is Wei Mingyang's tactics: a long-distance attack, the infantry can't outrun the tanks.

With a motorcycle as a means of transportation, you can definitely keep up.
