The Japanese army's reaction was as Zhang Chi guessed, and everyone was stunned when they watched dozens of American tanks that were driving into Seed River.

They originally thought that even if the Chinese soldiers stationed in Tonggu broke through, they would have been exhausted after fighting for more than ten days of tough battles. However, they would never have thought that dozens of tanks suddenly appeared.

Only one of them was not surprised, that was Yuta Harada.

Yuta Harada and his first brigade seem to have an indissoluble bond with the Engineer Corps. They met at the Wajie Iron Bridge before, and now the position chosen by the Expeditionary Force to make a breakthrough is Yuta Harada's defensive position.

"Bastard!" Seeing the American tanks heading towards them majestic under the flares, Yuta Harada couldn't help but punch the sandbag in front of him.

At this time, Yuta Harada's hatred was something that others could not understand. If Matsui would take Harada's report seriously instead of humiliating him, then they would at least build a few anti-tank trenches.

However, due to Matsui's underestimation and stubbornness, Harada and his subordinates had to face such a completely asymmetric battle.

"Why?" Yuta Harada shouted in his heart: "Why do we have to pay the price of our lives because of other people's mistakes!"

But now it is too late to think about this, so Yuta Harada can only choose to face the reality.

The idea of ​​retreat flashed through his mind, but it was just a brief thought.

This is not that Harada Yuuo was too greedy for death, but that he knew that the battle had decided the outcome from the beginning... Chinese soldiers had tanks, not only more than forty, but also more than forty. Not only were more than forty, but they successfully lie in front of their defensive positions and were under the cover of gunfire until they rushed to the front.

On the other hand, in addition to simple trenches, rifles and machine guns, perhaps only the pitiful mortars can pose a threat to enemy tanks. Now even mortars are probably almost gone by enemy artillery fire.

So is there still a need to continue this battle? Retreat is the best choice.

But Yuta Harada knew that Matsui would not agree to the retreat of the First Battalion because he reported to Matsui that the Chinese might have tanks, but Matsui was dismissive... In the end, he held the responsibility. The biggest mistake was Matsui. It was his stupidity and self-righteousness that made the Chinese about to break through the 56th Division.

Will Matsui give himself the opportunity to reveal his mistakes?

Obviously not.

Can you retreat without authorization?

That is not retreating but escaping, it is also a death sentence.

"Master Master!" At this time, his subordinate shouted to Yuta Harada: "What should I do now?!"

Yuta Harada did not answer, but took out a photo from his arms. A woman in a kimono smiled slightly melancholy on her face, holding a two-year-old child in her hand, looking at the camera innocently and curiously...

"Master!" his subordinate shouted again: "Give orders!"

Yuta Harada gritted his teeth and ordered: "Taosha attack!"

When his subordinates heard this, they were stunned. After twitching the corners of their mouths, they stood up and responded: "Yes!"

*******

Seeing the Japanese army jumping out of the trench, holding a bayonet rifle, holding a grenade explosive pack and roaring towards him, Zhang Chi couldn't help but praise him: At least the commander of the Japanese army is a smart man, and he made a wise choice.

This sounds like a little problem. How could this be a wise choice to rush towards the tank with a bayonet holding an explosive bag?

If you have good vision during the day, that's not true, because the machine guns and artillery on the tanks will blow them to pieces before they get close.

But it is at night now, and the tanks at this time did not have the concept of night vision instruments, so the tank's night combat capability is very limited. (Note: Although Germany developed night vision instruments in the early 1940s, it has never been actually used in wars. The United States did not urgently launch the night vision instruments they had just made in 1945 to deal with the Japanese army hiding in the cave tunnels.)

In this case, if the Japanese army does not launch a counterattack, they can only defend the simple fortifications and wait for the bombing of tank guns, strafing, rolling, and then the infantry behind the tanks...

On the contrary, if a counterattack was launched, the Japanese army might cross the tank under the night and tangle with the enemy behind them. At that time, the firepower on the tank would completely lose its effect or even have to wait for the fate of being captured.

Moreover, from the aspects of close combat and stinging techniques, the Japanese army may be able to fight two or three engineers who have only been trained for three days. Once they scare the enemy in terms of courage or momentum, they may even defeat the enemy.

Therefore, the Japanese army's seemingly stupid way of rushing towards tanks with bayonets is actually the most feasible and only feasible way of playing.

This seemed to have caught the soldiers of the Engineering Corps off guard, because they did not expect the Japanese army to rush towards the tank with flesh and blood, so they didn't know what to do for a moment. The tanks walking in front of them didn't even know that the Japanese army had launched a counter-charge... The tanks looked smaller outside, and they were still in the dark, and they were full of the rumbling of tank motors, so their perception ability was very poor.

Looking at the Japanese army approaching quickly, Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If this continues, he will probably really make the Japanese army destroy his team, so he shouted: "Lighting Flame!"

Two "thumps" sounds, the flares quickly hit the air and illuminated the entire Seandang River. At this time, the machine gunners in the tank suddenly discovered the Japanese army rushing towards him. So the headlights lit up and the machine guns also sounded. Bullets hit the Japanese army in rows of directions. What was splashing through the river was a bunch of water, and hitting the Japanese army was a bunch of blood.

Soon the tank gun also roared, and one shell hit the river, flew into the air with a large area of ​​river water and the Japanese corpses, divided it into several pieces and then fell back into the river to dye the river water bright red.

It should be said that tank guns play a great role at this time, because this is the Seandang River, and the more important thing is the Seandang River in the dry season... People familiar with Myanmar know that Seandang River in the rainy season often brings mud from the upper reaches of the river. In the dry season, especially when the dry season is about to end, the mud at this time has been washed away by the river for several months. There are pebbles left at the bottom of the river. The tank guns blow the pebbles like shrapnel, flying everywhere, only killing the Japanese army in pieces.

However, the Japanese attack did not stop slightly because of this. On the contrary, they rushed forward one after another. It seemed that the bullets were not hitting them, and it seemed that the shells did not exist. One team fell down and the other team rushed up. The one in front fell down, and the one behind rushed up the body of the comrades...
