The 38th Regiment did not immediately come to support the 33rd Regiment after it was attacked. This was because the 33rd Regiment's headquarters was killed by Xu Wen in a direct assault.

Colonel Seiji Sukekawa, the captain of the 38th Regiment, was unable to contact the 33rd Regiment Headquarters and did not know the specific situation, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Wait until the liaison soldiers he sent out rush over to find out the specific situation and then come back to report.

The 33rd Regiment has been attacked from both sides by Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo, and all of them have been wiped out.

But Seiji Sekawa didn't know this and still sent an infantry brigade to reinforce the 33rd Regiment.

Until now, Sukegawa Shizuji, an old Japanese soldier, has not realized the seriousness of the problem. He thought that the national army in Wuxi counterattacked at night and attacked the 33rd Regiment.

It never occurred to me that the 33rd Regiment was being attacked from both sides by two Chinese armies.

Therefore, the reinforcement brigade he sent out inevitably met the counterattack troops led by Xu Wen and Zhou Weiguo halfway.

A mechanized vanguard consisting of five Panzer IV tanks, one armored vehicle and ten armed military vehicles launched a fierce assault on the Japanese in this brigade.

After an intensive fire attack, more than half of this unlucky Japanese brigade was killed or wounded, and the rest were stunned and fled one after another.

But how can two-legged infantry outrun tanks and armored vehicles traveling at dozens of kilometers per hour?

Under Xu Wen's command, tanks and armored vehicles pursued forward while firing continuously and strafing, using ferocious firepower to wipe out the other half of the Japanese troops who were trying to escape.

This brigade of the 38th Infantry Regiment was completely wiped out without even a chance to resist in front of Xu Wen's advanced armored force.

After killing more than a thousand Japs, Xu Wen and others led the eight thousand Wuxi defenders non-stop and continued to attack.

In the headquarters of the 38th Regiment, the gunfire and explosions just now alerted the commander of the regiment, Colonel Seiji Sekawa, and the old devil hurriedly ran out of the tent.

Xun Sheng looked to the north and frowned in confusion: "What's going on? Could it be that the 1st Battalion and the China Army are at war?"

A major staff officer who ran out behind him said: "Sir, it's very possible. The situation tonight is a bit chaotic, and we still don't know what happened."

"Then should we send more troops over for reinforcements?" Seiji Sukegawa said hesitantly.

Because the 1st Brigade set off too quickly and the distance was very close, there was no additional radio station and it was impossible to make contact immediately.

The major staff officer suggested: "Sir, the enemy's situation is unclear, and I do not recommend further reinforcements due to my humble position. It is better to send someone over to investigate the situation first and then make a plan."

Sukegawa Shizuji nodded: "Yo Xi, send someone over immediately to check."

The two Japanese scouts quickly took the order and set off, but before they had gone far, they encountered the armored troops of the Independent Battalion coming at lightning speed.

At that time, two Japanese scouts were advancing on foot with guns in hand. Suddenly they heard a strange roar in front of them. The two Japanese scouts were startled and stopped quickly.

Then they saw bright lights coming from the north road.

The two Japanese scouts were startled and hurriedly hid in the grass on the left.

One of them observed the light for a while and said, "It sounds like the sound of tanks and chariots!"

"It should be from the Chinese Army, right? The Imperial Army has no tanks or armored units near here." Another Japanese scout said.

"Then I will hold back the Chinese army here, and you should go back and report to the commander of the regiment!" said the Japanese scout who spoke first.

The other scout didn't hesitate, nodded and immediately turned around with his gun in hand, ducking down and running back under the cover of darkness.

Although the two Japanese soldiers were frightened by the sudden appearance of tanks and armored troops. They did not know where these Chinese armored troops came from, but they were scared and did not forget their mission.

After the Japanese scout left, the Japanese scout who stayed behind voluntarily raised his gun and aimed at the approaching tanks on the road.

The tank he was targeting was Xu Wen's command tank. When the tank entered a position twenty meters away from him.

The Japanese scout decisively pulled the trigger, and there was a gunshot. The body of the Type 38 rifle in his hand shook violently, a red light suddenly appeared on the muzzle, and a hot bullet flew out with a roar.

Whoosh! After a short flight, it hit the protective steel plate on the roof of the tank. Bang! Ding dong! A ball of small sparks burst out.

The sudden attack took the tank crew driving by surprise, and they slammed on the brakes without waiting for Xu Wen's order.

The high-speed No. 4 tank stopped immediately. Under the huge inertia, Xu Wen almost hit his head on the steel plate in front.

Regardless of scolding the soldiers who were driving, Xu Wen immediately ordered: "There are no enemies!" After saying that, he picked up the wireless walkie-talkie and ordered: "The armored vehicles come over immediately and cover us!"

The half-track armored vehicle following the tank immediately roared forward quickly and passed the tank where Xu Wen was. The two MG42 vehicle-mounted machine guns on the roof immediately opened fire on both sides of the road.

The tank Xu Wen was on also turned the direction of the tank gun and began to search for the target.

The Japanese scout hiding in the grass hurriedly lowered his head to avoid the hail of bullets fired by the MG42 vehicle-mounted machine gun, allowing countless hot bullets to fly over his head and break the trees behind him.

After the strafing fire poured out and hit farther away, the Japanese scout quickly stood up again, aimed his gun at the independent battalion soldier who was blindly strafing on the armored vehicle, and pulled the trigger.

At that time, the distance between the two sides was less than fifteen meters. It was only because the Japanese scout was in the dark and the soldier operating the MG42 was in the open, so he had the upper hand.

Just listen! A gunshot unique to the 38th Gate rang out. The unlucky independent battalion soldier in the armored vehicle was shot in the chest, and he fell directly from the roof of the vehicle with a muffled groan.

The vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine gun that was firing wildly suddenly went silent.

After one shot hit, the Japanese scout saw another Chinese machine gunner on the roof of the armored vehicle, turned around and found himself, and was about to turn the gun and shoot at him.

At this time, if he turned around and ran away, he would probably be hit by the opponent's machine gun bullets. After weighing the pros and cons, the Japanese scout decided to take a risk and kill the vehicle-mounted machine gunner first before escaping.

But it was this decision that cost him his life!

When he pulled the gun bolt again and prepared to fire before the vehicle-mounted machine gunner, killing him.

A burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from the roof of the No. 4 tank where Xu Wen was sitting: Ta-ta-ta!

Swish, swish, several hot bullets whizzed over, and all of them hit the Japanese soldier. Puff puff, he was hit by several bullets. The movements in the hand of the Japanese soldier stopped abruptly, and the 38-type rifle came out of his hand.

People can't stand firmly and will fall down if they stumble.

However, before the corpse of the Japs scout fell down, the machine gunner on the roof of the armored vehicle had already turned his gun, and saw that his companion was killed by the Japs in a sneak attack.

He angrily controlled the universal machine gun in his hand and shouted: "You little devil! You will die!"

He fired wildly at the Japanese scout who was about to fall! Da da da da da da da da da! The general machine gun continued to roar and fired a large number of bullets into the body of the Japanese scout.

It was immediately beaten into a hornet's nest, and the Japanese scout couldn't die anymore and fell down with a crash.

The soldier was still firing wildly, and the dense rain of bullets tore the patch of grass where he had previously been hiding into pieces, with debris flying everywhere.

On the roof of the No. 4 tank at the back, Xu Wen, who was holding a submachine gun and killing the Japanese scouts, saw this and couldn't help but cursed: "Stop! Look at your potential, you are capable of killing other Japanese soldiers to avenge your brother! To one person

Why are you so crazy about a corpse?"

The vehicle-mounted machine gunner stopped shooting angrily: "Yes!"
