    As soon as Liu Hongzhang finished speaking, it was as if he had found a big bargain. Liu Chenglin, the brigade chief of staff, was confused at that time and secretly cried out in his heart, "Yes, the brigade commander is so crazy again. He just destroyed Royhill City.  I swallowed more than 4,000 little devils, and now I am thinking about the more than 10,000 little devils who came from the West Road!"

    "But this situation is different. There are three groups of little devils, with a total of thirty to forty thousand people. No matter how hard the first brigade can fight, there are only nine thousand people. What's more, they are still in a prominent position alone. Once they are defeated by the little devils,  If the Japanese are entangled, they will be surrounded, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

    Liu Chenglin made up his mind. This time, he would not make the brigade commander's eyes red under any circumstances. "Brigadier Commander, I disagree. The position we are in now is absolutely outstanding. There are no nearby reinforcements on the left, right or behind.  The intention of the Japanese army is very obvious, which is to surround us with heavy troops. "

    "So brigade commander, we must retreat immediately. If you insist on going your own way, I will telegraph the matter to the headquarters as the brigade chief of staff!" Liu Chenglin's tone was very serious and uncompromising.

    "Phew!" Liu Hongzhang was happy and said: "Cheng Lin, I'm stupid, I can't see the little devil's intention, but the opportunity is here, you see, the little devil on the east road and the north road are far away from Roy  Hill City is more than sixty kilometers away. Judging from the little devil's marching speed, even if it is a partially mechanized march, look at the road conditions, it will take more than two hours for the leading troops to get here! "

    "As for the more than 10,000 little devils coming from the west, didn't the reconnaissance plane pilot just say that the main force is forty kilometers away, and part of it is mechanized. It's a distance of twenty-five kilometers, and it takes one to reach Roy Hill.  Just a few hours, enough for me to give the little devil a head-on blow!"

    Seeing that Liu Chenglin still refused to let go, Liu Hongzhang became anxious.  Roared: "Time is tight, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, convey my order, the self-propelled artillery regiment, tank regiment and the first infantry regiment, immediately go out to the Bruce Pass five kilometers west of Roy Hill City to set up an ambush to annihilate the small army."  Target the Japs¡¯ vanguard, and then retreat to the second line.¡±

    "The brigade belongs to the heavy artillery regiment, and the rocket artillery battalion has built artillery positions on the spot. With the main force of the Japs to follow as the artillery target, the second infantry regiment is on standby, ready to attack at any time. It is required that the most violent artillery fire must be used to achieve the purpose of killing a large number of enemies.  , after receiving the order from the brigade headquarters to retreat, all units should immediately retreat toward Mount Vernon, regardless of the outcome of the battle!"

    "Why are you still standing there? Follow me to the front line!" After Liu Hongzhang issued the combat order.  Seeing that Liu Chenglin was still trying to stop him, he shouted loudly.

    "Brigadier, you can go to the front line, but you must be responsible for your actions today!" Liu Chenglin saw that he could not change the outcome.  He muttered.

    "I'll be responsible for the grinding and grinding. When you get the fat, you won't say anything!" Liu Hongzhang glared at him and said dissatisfied.

    Japanese troops coming from the west of Roy Hill City.  It was part of General Ito's outflanking troops along this route, designated the 2nd Brigade of the 39th Division.  It is also the unit closest to this place among the hundreds of thousands of troops.

    The brigade commander, Major General Uchiyama, is in the rear group at the moment. His idea is very simple. With his own brigade of about 10,000 troops, he can eat up the nearly 9,000 well-equipped troops of the China Independent Division. That is  It is unrealistic. Although Major General Uchiyama has not fought against the Independent Division, he has heard a lot about the China Independent Division and knows that this is a force that has repeatedly suffered losses for the Imperial Japanese Army.

    The best result that Major General Uchiyama wants to achieve is to entangle this Chinese force in Roy Hill City and buy time for the imperial troops coming from the other two directions to encircle them. By then, the first force will not be able to escape.  Therefore, he ordered the only mechanized main unit of the brigade to march quickly, move forward fifteen kilometers, and rush towards Roy Hill at the fastest speed. As long as they exchange fire with the Chinese troops, with the bravery and skill of the imperial soldiers, China will be defeated.  Even if you want to run away, you have no chance!

    The so-called mechanized unit of the 39th Brigade is shabby enough to say the least. It is mainly made up of trucks, and some are driven by animal power. A mixed team of motor vehicles and animal power cannot march at the same speed. In order to maintain care,  The speed had to be reduced, and coupled with the poor road conditions, captain Okazaki had no choice but to desperately urge the troops to move forward.

    After passing the Bruce Pass in front of them, they arrived at Roy Hill City. Colonel Okazaki was full of fighting passion. Similarly, he had no experience fighting with independent division troops. In his opinion, on the North American battlefield, powerful  All the Americans were beaten to pieces by the empire, so who are the Chinese people who are like sick men in East Asia?

    Colonel Okazaki's car, following the troops, rushed through the Bruce Pass. His field of vision suddenly opened up, and the outline of Roy Hill City was clearly visible. Then, he saw rows of tanks in the whole place, with silent tigers standing there.  Which??, the low roar of the engine came. Under the afternoon sunshine in central Australia, the armor reflected the cold metallic luster, and the black muzzle pointed forward.

    "Nani? A Chinese tank!" Colonel Okazaki was stunned for a moment. His boss didn't tell him that the Chinese troops were also equipped with tanks. Isn't this fatal? The regiment had no anti-tank weapons at all. How could we fight this battle?

    "Order, the troops immediately stop advancing, disperse and hide, and prepare to fight! Immediately call the brigade artillery to provide artillery support!" After a moment of confusion, Colonel Okazaki reacted and issued the absolutely correct order.

    But this is only correct, relatively speaking, the troops can be dispersed and concealed easily, but the artillery support of the brigade has to wait until the artillery comes up. Then, Colonel Okazaki heard a dull loud noise, and a row of artillery shells carrying  There was a scream, and the head was smashed down, and I saw the group of tanks in front of me, with flames spitting out from the muzzle.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The heavy artillery regiment of the first brigade and the two tank regiments began bombarding at the same time. Raindrop-like shells instantly covered the location of the Japanese army. Colonel Okazaki was very unlucky. Several large-caliber shells fired.  Falling on his car, several balls of flames burst into flames, and the car turned into pieces together with him.

    In just ten minutes, the Okazaki regiment was enveloped in a bloody wind. Black smoke and dust from the explosion of artillery shells filled the air. Liu Tiehan stood on the armored command vehicle and turned to Liu Chenglin and said:  "Look, this is the mechanized army of the Japs. If a cannonball hits it, how many Japs are left alive?"

    "There are still the main forces of the Japs behind us!" Liu Chenglin was convinced. He didn't expect that when a mechanized Japanese army was less than 25 kilometers away from Roy Hill City, the brigade commander would dare to set up an ambush here. He was so bold.  !

    In fact, Liu Hongzhang relied on the high-speed maneuverability of two tank regiments and a self-propelled artillery regiment to get ahead of the Japanese army and deploy artillery firepower.

    The rumbling sound of artillery coming from the front immediately startled the commander of the Uchiyama Brigade, "Report to the brigade commander, the second regiment reported that they saw that the Okazaki regiment was attacked by the China Independent Division at Bruce Pass.  The bombardment caused heavy casualties!" A staff officer ran over and reported breathlessly.

    Colonel Okazaki and the regiment headquarters disappeared in the artillery fire. The Japanese troops who were blown away by the shells had no chance to report the situation to the brigade headquarters. The troops following the Okazaki regiment could only rely on what they saw.  The situation was reported.

    The head of the Uchiyama Brigade was thinking rapidly. Judging from the intensity of the gunfire, the artillery firepower of the Chinese troops was several times greater than that of his own brigade. Moreover, he was well prepared to press all the brigade up. Obviously, it was not possible.  Sensible.

    "Order, the troops immediately stop advancing, prepare for battle, send a squadron to reconnoiter the situation, and the brigade artillery immediately builds positions!" Major General Uchiyama issued the order.

    "What? The following little devils have stopped advancing?" Liu Hongzhang was greatly surprised and thought rapidly. In just over a minute, he made a decision, "Cheng Lin, you lead the first group back immediately.  Roy Hill City, command the heavy artillery regiment and the second regiment to retreat according to the planned plan. In addition, order the rocket artillery battalion to move up immediately! "

    "Brigadier, what about you?" Liu Chenglin asked.

    "Hehe!" Liu Hongzhang smiled slyly and said: "While the following little devils are still unsteady, use two tank regiments and a self-propelled artillery regiment to rush in, then use rocket launchers to break up the rear, and then chase you!"

    Now that the situation was like this, Liu Chenglin gave up the idea of ??dissuading the brigade commander and hurriedly led the brigade headquarters back to Roy Hill. Fortunately, the brigade commander commanded highly mobile troops, so it was easy to leave.

    After watching Liu Chenglin leave, Liu Hongzhang picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an order: "Attention the tank regiment and self-propelled artillery regiment, do not take into account the current combat situation, and immediately move out of Bruce Pass as quickly as possible. After encountering the Japanese army, all units  Determine the bombardment target yourself and retreat quickly after receiving the order!"

    Then, he shouted to the driver, "Follow me!" The armored command vehicle rushed out. The tanks and self-propelled artillery of the first brigade ran over the Bruce Pass, which was still filled with smoke, and crushed the Japanese soldiers.  Broken corpses, at the same time, the tanks that opened the way used parallel machine guns to aim at the remaining Japanese soldiers who were stunned by the bombing, and swept them wildly. The Japanese soldiers who escaped the shells screamed and fell under the machine gun bullets.

    Liu Hongzhang's style of play is absolutely risky and irregular. Tanks and self-propelled artillery without infantry cover are extremely vulnerable to attack, especially if they are trapped in an infantry group. With the crazy energy of the Bushido spirit of Japanese soldiers, they will definitely dare to cover themselves  Loaded with explosives and pounced on the tank.

    But Liu Hongzhang had no intention of engaging in a melee with the Japanese infantry. The 39th Brigade had just begun to set up positions, and the tanks and self-propelled artillery of the independent divisionThen the smoke and dust rose into the sky and swept from Bruce Mountain Pass, making the leader of the Uchiyama Brigade's eyes twitch.

    The commander of the Uchiyama Brigade understands that this is the armored group assault tactic used by the Germans on the European battlefield. But when did the China Independent Division equip so many tanks?
