Time travel! Regrets will never happen again!

Shigeharu Suematsu began to retreat with a large number of troops. They had to retreat now. This was obviously a trap set by the Chinese. They had to retreat before they were completely trapped in it.

With the remaining men of the 114th Division, they can definitely break out, but this time their intention to destroy the 78th Army will end in failure.

The 56th Regiment has now chosen to abandon the trucks. More than 300 Japanese soldiers are running wildly in the heavy rain, and more than mules and horses of the entire regiment are almost exhausted to death in this muddy mountain area.

Because trucks could not be used, the task of hauling baggage, artillery, and heavy machine guns fell entirely on mules and horses.

Soon, the rumbling sound of horse hooves was heard again in the rain. Many soldiers of the 56th Regiment turned their heads and saw that it was the cavalry battalion directly under the division.

Major Kanshichiro Amagi, commander of the 18th Cavalry Battalion, took the lead and rushed to the front of the team.

Lieutenant Colonel Tsuneta Nagayama soon met the cavalry battalion commander.

"Mr. Changshan! The division commander ordered us to contact the baggage transport team in the rear today, and also told us to be careful! There should be Chinese ambushes here!"

Before he finished speaking, a thunderous explosion sounded in his ears, and several people hurriedly looked forward.

In the rain, the area three or four hundred meters ahead was shrouded in black smoke and flames, and a large number of imperial soldiers fell on the muddy ground.

"Report! We discovered a minefield laid by the Chinese ahead! Our retreat has been cut off!"

Soon someone came back to report the situation. Changshan and Tiancheng looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

"Order the engineering corps to clear the mines immediately and have the Okubo Battalion bypass the forest. We must open up a road to the rear as soon as possible!"

Changshan immediately made corresponding arrangements. The road was blocked only because the mule and horse caravans and other baggage and heavy weapons could not pass through.

The personnel could completely bypass the forest, but they could not carry too many heavy weapons. Soon, Major Okubo Tokuyuki led his 1000-man brigade, carrying only light weapons and grenade launchers and other supporting firepower, and rushed into the dense forest.

Not long after Okubo and his team entered the forest, they saw that the trees there seemed to have been cut down by humans in the heavy rain.

There was a large open space inside, but the trees near the road had not been cut down. It seemed that there were many blurry shadows flashing above the open space.

However, the heavy rain blurred their vision, making it difficult for them to see clearly. Just when they were about to go forward to take a closer look at the situation.

The vague shadows on the open space began to move, and at the same time, Okubo heard the roar of a rumbling engine.

"Could it be the transport truck of the logistics supply team?" Okubo thought to himself.

With a loud "bang", Okubo saw a red light flying out quickly among those confused figures.

"Bombardment!" Okubo issued a warning immediately, but in the chaos of the march and heavy rain, few people heard his voice.

Only a few people around him responded to the warning and lay down immediately.

With a loud bang, a fireball exploded several dozen meters behind them, and the scattered shrapnel flew in all directions due to the impact force of the explosion.

A "puff" sound like a sharp weapon piercing a human body rang in Okubo's ears. He looked in the direction and saw an unlucky guy lying next to him.

His right buttock was hit by a piece of flying shrapnel. At this moment, blood was gushing out of this guy's buttock, and the rain water under him had been dyed red.

Before they could react, the rumbling sound of the engine was getting closer and closer. Okubo raised his head slightly and finally saw the true appearance of those things.

Chariots! Huge chariots! They were much larger than those of the Empire, and the caliber of the cannon pointed at them was definitely more than 70mm.

"Boom!" As Okubo looked in surprise, the 34mm tank gun on a T76 tank once again fired a high-explosive grenade.

The shell exploded less than 30 meters away from Okubo. Okubo only felt a buzzing in his head and could not hear any sound at all.

The armored cluster consisting of 32 T34-76s and 30 Type tanks finally showed their fangs.

A few kilometers behind the tanks, there were dozens of infantrymen sitting on trucks, pulling artillery pieces.

However, at this time, all the trucks were stuck in the mud, and the infantry could only keep up on foot, with their feet in the mud, and every time they pulled their feet out, they would stir up several pounds of mud.

This made the soldiers very uncomfortable, but the most they could do was complain about the damn weather, and they still had to keep up.

The cannons towed behind the trucks have all been deployed. The following artillerymen have stuffed 75mm shells into the barrels one by one, and then pulled the gun ropes skillfully.

The soldiers of the 56th Regiment and the Cavalry Battalion, whose advance route was blocked by the minefield, naturally heard the rumbling of artillery coming from the forest.

It was just very strange, as if there was not only the sound of artillery shells exploding, but also the roar of some engines.

"Chinese tanks! Tanks dispatched by the Chinese!" Just as everyone was looking at the edge of the forest in confusion.

A number of Japanese soldiers rushed out in a state of disgrace, shouting loudly as they fled.

It was just because the rain was so heavy that other people couldn’t hear clearly what they were saying?

But there was no need for them to emphasize or be alert, because a number of steel behemoths appeared behind them!

How come the Chinese have tanks! Why do their tanks look so much taller and more majestic than the tanks of the Imperial Tank Corps?

One, two, and many chariots appeared in front of everyone.

"Boom boom boom" before many people could react, shells from the 75mm French Miss cannon in the rear fell one after another.

At the same time, there were shells from the T34 and Type tank guns, and the coaxial machine gun inside the tank began to spray bullets.

Dozens of tongues of fire were slicing through the crowd of Japanese soldiers, many of whom were from the Japanese cavalry brigade and still riding on their war horses.

The violent bullets tore the horse and his body completely into pieces.

More and more tanks appeared in this narrow passage, and the Japanese soldiers finally reacted. Those who reacted faster immediately abandoned their comrades around them.

I entered the dark forest alone. Now if I want to save my life, I can only enter the forest in the opposite direction to survive.

Of course, there were also many cavalrymen who immediately pulled the reins of their war horses and whipped the horses' buttocks hard with the whips in their hands.

The war horses could only gallop forward with all their might in pain, and they even knocked down many fleeing infantrymen of the 56th Regiment.

Artillery fire continued to create sparks around them, and each blooming spark indicated the casualty of one or more Japanese soldiers.

Not many people had the courage to launch an attack on this group of newly appeared steel troops. Changshan himself was lying on a warhorse.

Just now, a dozen soldiers behind him were hit by heavy machine gun bullets sprayed from the tanks.

He witnessed with his own eyes several of his men being shot in the face by heavy machine gun bullets. As long as they were hit in the chest, basically one bullet would shred the liver, lungs and other organs in the chest cavity into pieces.
