Chapter 218 The battle situation reverses and chariots wreak havoc!
The commander of the Japanese 37th Division, Takeshi Araiida, and Chief of Staff Ike Hisakazu have also been paying close attention to the situation on the front line.
The Japanese troops behind the headquarters did not send out a warning signal immediately, allowing the tank regiment to easily drive near the Japanese headquarters.
At this moment, the Japanese had already rushed to the second line of defense at the south gate, east gate, and west gate of Chidong County.
Wang Dali, Sun Hu and Liu Feng could no longer hold on.
Xin Jingtianwu was also preparing to draw on reserve troops to capture the second gate of the south gate, east gate and west gate of Chidong County in one fell swoop.
Just as Takeshi Arai was about to give the order, he suddenly noticed a flash of light on the right.
Arata Takeshi couldn't help but squint his eyes and shook his head. He thought it was an illusion because he had overused his eyes.
"No...this, this is not an illusion." Arai Tianwu muttered to himself.
Then, Arai Tianwu suddenly turned around, walked quickly to the observation hole at the rear, and then he stood there in a daze.
Because less than two miles away from Shinida Takeshi, dozens of snow-white lights shone towards his command post like bayonets in the dark night.
Arata Takeshi's actions also made all the Japanese soldiers in the command center curious, so they all looked at the observation hole at the rear.
Then the minds of these devils went blank.
"Chariots... Chinese chariots!"
A moment later, a Japanese staff officer shouted loudly.
This sound also completely woke up everyone in the command center.
"Damn it! Where did these tanks come from? Why did they appear behind our lines?"
"Where are the troops in our rear? Why didn't they find him?"
Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe also roared loudly after reacting.
As a senior general with many battlefield experiences, Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe certainly knows how important an armored force can be at a critical moment.
But Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe really couldn't figure out where this armored force came from?
You know, although the Japanese mobilized all their troops for the night attack, they still sent many small teams to the rear.
But this time the Japanese squad did not send any signals or telegrams at all.
In fact, what Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe didn't know was that those Japanese squads had never encountered this armored unit at all.
Because Zhou Weimin is currently stationed in the woods behind the Japanese.
The Japanese squad checked all these woods and found nothing, so they continued to move towards the small valley behind the woods.
At this moment, the Japanese troops are hiding in the small valley!
It was precisely because these Japanese squads did not discover this armored unit that they were able to survive the war.
"Immediately order the 67th Regiment to withdraw and establish defensive positions. We must stop the Chinese tanks."
"We must not allow these tanks to reach the front lines!"
After Arata Takeshi reacted, he looked at the Japanese soldiers present and gave loud orders.
Taketa Araida is well aware of the combat effectiveness of the armored forces.
And Takeshi Arai knew that once the armored forces broke through to the battlefield, it would mean the end of the war.
Because the armored forces can calmly use machine guns and artillery to reap the lives of his soldiers.
Besides, the war is at a critical moment now. If the armored forces attack the rear of the troops at this time, the entire 37th Division will be in danger of collapse.
"Your Excellency, the Division Commander, it's too late. The 67th Regiment will take time to withdraw."
"Now, you will immediately head to the 67th Regiment. I will lead the remaining warriors to stop the Chinese armored forces."
After hearing what Takeshi Araiida said, Chief of Staff Ike Kyukazu quickly walked over to Takeshi Araiida and said.
It’s less than two miles away, and it will only take a few minutes for the armored troops to arrive.
"Baga, I'm leaving the Changchi Army to you." After hearing this, Arai Tianwu said something to the Chief of Staff Ike Jiuhe without hesitation, and left the command center with a small group of Japanese soldiers.
After Arata Takeshi left.
Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe also looked at the remaining devils and said loudly: "Warriors of the Empire."
"Now is the time for you to serve His Majesty with all your loyalty and the courage of an Imperial warrior."
"Now I need a team to stop the Chinese tanks. Who among you is willing to go?"
After hearing this, the Japanese soldiers present all knew that this was sending them to their deaths.
But there are still many devils who stand up.
But the armored forces advanced much faster than Chief of Staff Ike Kyuha had expected.
You have to know that these tanks are not the kind of tanks used by the Japanese, they are the latest German tanks.
So just as Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe organized a suicide squad, the tank troops of the Tiger Guard Division opened fire.
“Da da…da da da!”
“Boom…boom boom!”
The Japanese command center collapsed in just a few seconds.
However, Chief of Staff Ike Jiuhe was not killed because he was protected by someone, but he was seriously injured.
When Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe just climbed out, he saw a tank track pressing down on the head of a dead Japanese soldier not far away.
The head of the Japanese soldier exploded like a ripe watermelon...
Although the surviving Japanese soldiers desperately fired at the oncoming tanks, the countless bullets hitting the tanks only made crisp steel sounds.
These shots could not hurt the tank at all, nor could they stop the tank's advance.
"Warriors of the Empire, we cannot retreat. Anyone who retreats will be a sinner of the Empire!"
Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe finally stood up, pulled out his command knife with difficulty, and roared with his last bit of strength.
And when Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe also roared.
The tank troops had appeared dozens of meters in front of Chief of Staff Ike Kyushu.
At this moment, in front of the tank, a group of Japanese soldiers holding rifles were using their flesh and blood to block the tank's advance.
But how can a body of flesh and blood stop a body of steel!
......
"Baga, baga, how on earth did this armored unit end up behind the headquarters?"
"Why didn't our reconnaissance team in the rear discover this armored unit?"
"Is this armored unit from the Tiger Guard Division?"
......
After arriving at the 67th Regiment Headquarters, Takeshi Araida kept cursing.
At this moment, Takeshi Arida did not know that Chief of Staff Kazuya Ike and others who stayed behind to block the armored forces had all died.
However, when Chief of Staff Ikekyu Kazuya decided to stay, Araida Takeshi knew that Chief of Staff Ikekyu Kazuya and his men had already made up their minds to die.
Now what Arata Takeshi needs to do is to use the limited forces at his disposal to find a way to stop the armored forces.
The armored forces must not be allowed to break through, otherwise his 37th Division would be finished.
