By this time, General Heinz had already brought the members of the observation group up to a small hill nearby with a relatively open field of view.

Through the binoculars, Chu Yunfei's armored forces came rolling in.

Feeling he couldn't see clearly, Heinz ordered someone to set up an artillery observation mirror for observation.

This time, Heinz saw clearly.

There were also some stragglers from the routed 110th Division in the field of view, being chased by Chu Yunfei's tanks.

A Japanese Type 89 Medium Tank was fleeing for its life, closely pursued by the Youth Army tank behind it.

Boom! Boom boom!!

The Guerrilla Corps' tanks kept firing and pursuing from behind.

After several shots, the Japanese Type 89 Medium Tank was destroyed by a Sanhao Tank and completely paralyzed on the plain.

"Nice!"

Heinz waved his fist, his eyes reluctant to leave the artillery observation mirror, his emotions extremely excited.

Lieutenant General Kizawa Tadamin was looking for Heinz and had by now arrived on the small hill, also witnessing the scene of friendly forces being dealt a heavy blow, feeling sad, angry, and afraid all at once.

Hearing Heinz's shout, Lieutenant General Kizawa Tadamin looked toward the sound, only to see Heinz's mouth clearly wearing an excited smile!

"Good hit!"

"Just like that!"

"Hmm~ Are these Japanese using diesel engines? They don't easily explode into flames after being hit!"

"T Tank! Little treasure, let me see how fast you can run!"

"Well done, Sanhao Tank! Use the long-barrel gun to viciously tear apart the Japanese little tanks!"

Lieutenant General Kizawa Tadamin couldn't understand what General Heinz was saying, but could feel that Heinz's excitement was beyond words.

"I don't understand what's funny about this at all? Translator, what exactly is General Heinz cheering for?"

The translator feared ruining the military alliance with the Japanese Army that was about to be concluded, was caught in a dilemma, and could only blurt out nonsense:

"General Heinz is praising the bravery of Emperor Chuo's army tank combat..."

Lieutenant General Kizawa Tadamin looked at the remnants of the routed 110th Division around him and no longer cared what General Heinz had said.

If they didn't leave now, Chu Yunfei's tank group would charge right in front of them.

"Order the tank units to deploy immediately on the spot and establish a blocking position!"

"Leave one Japanese Infantry Group to coordinate with the tank units, block for two hours; if the time isn't up, do not retreat a single step!"

"Other troops, immediately receive the remnants withdrawn from the 110th Division, everyone turn around, and withdraw to Xinxiang!"

Lieutenant General Kizawa Tadamin issued orders rapidly, receiving over a thousand men from the withdrawn 110th Division, and he could now account for himself.

Meanwhile, General Heinz was still standing on the highland.

As if those tanks and armored vehicles of the Guerrilla Corps were his own sons, he was reluctant to leave the artillery observation mirror even half a step.

Lieutenant General Kizawa Tadamin had the translator urge him several times, but Heinz was as if rooted to the spot and simply wouldn't leave.

"General, the Chinese tanks have already charged within two kilometers; please get in the vehicle immediately!"

Helplessly, Lieutenant General Kizawa Tadamin ordered two Japanese soldiers to carry Heinz away directly, so as not to implicate everyone in being captured.

Heinz was watching with rapt attention when he was suddenly carried away by the Japanese, and he became anxious, shouting loudly in his native Hans language:

"Put me down!"

"This is an order!"

"Counterattack! Block!"

"The 21st Division's counterattack is an order!"

Until he was carried into the vehicle, Heinz was still unsatisfied and continued to curse loudly.

The convoy had just started moving, and after going five or six hundred meters, a terrifying noise suddenly erupted from behind.

Rocket shells, with piercing whistles, covered the entire sky.

The Japanese troops left behind to block were instantly covered by firepower.

Heinz sat in the vehicle, hearing the huge commotion behind, disregarding danger, he stuck more than half his body out of the vehicle and looked back at the horizon swallowed by firelight.

"Firepower coverage of this scale... William, should we consider whether we have any unfinished business?"

Heinz was truly worried this time; this kind of firepower density was something he had never seen before, already exceeding his expectations of the Youth Army's strength.

Not only Heinz was worried about his own safety.

At the North China Area Army Headquarters, Heinz's safety also tugged at General Sugiyama Moto's heartstrings.

Originally, General Sugiyama Moto had agreed to let Heinz inspect the 21st Division, thinking to let these Hans fellows wait a few days and observe the battle of bombarding the Yellow River Levee and flooding the Youth Corps Headquarters.

But unexpectedly, Chu Yunfei suddenly launched an attack, and Heinz's military observation group wanted to observe from the front, which was now truly dangerous.

If the personal safety of the military observation group ran into trouble, then forget about establishing a military alliance with the Hans.

And if such a scandal were exposed, it would simply be a great disgrace!

General Sugiyama Moto would not allow such a situation to happen and immediately ordered the 26th Division to move south from Anyang to protect the military observation group.

At the same time, he ordered all troops to heighten vigilance and be ready at any time to respond to the Youth Army's northward attack.

Chu Yunfei launched an offensive at Jiaozuo, the troop deployment of the North China Area Army underwent great changes, and anti-Japanese forces everywhere began to become active, all taking this opportunity to cause a big disturbance.

The entire Henan North directly became a pot of porridge.

At this moment Kizawa Tadamin was huddled on the seat of the armored vehicle, sweat dripping continuously from his forehead.

The sound of rocket shells exploding outside the vehicle stirred the deepest fear in his heart—the Lanfeng Pursuit Battle.

In that pursuit battle, the Youth Army's Steel Torrent ground the Empire's dignity into debris.

"Damn Hans people! Told him not to come, but he had to come!"

"Quick! Full-speed retreat! Don't care about the infantry behind, full-speed back to Xinxiang!"

Kizawa Tadamin roared hysterically; the driver floored the accelerator, and the armored vehicle raced wildly along the bumpy road.

However... on the road ahead, an unwilling force lay in ambush.

Jiang Xiangyun of the Taihang Independent Column had originally planned to launch an ambush on the support route of the 21st Division, blowing out the devils' equipment.

The course of events was roughly as he had expected; he had indeed caught the Japanese Army's 21st Division coming out of Xinxiang to reinforce Jiaozuo.

But his own men were too few, his weapons too poor, relying extremely on terrain obstruction.

And the 21st Division had too many men, a vast crowd; encountering his obstruction, they actually chose not to waste time, taking a detour instead.

Jiang Xiangyun could not pursue them—that would be gambling with the lives of over two thousand men of the entire column—and could only let Kizawa Tadamin's 21st Division slip away from under his eyelids.

Unexpectedly, only a few hours later, the Japanese Army's 21st Division came running back!

The 21st Division had just reached the outskirts of Jiaozuo when it withdrew; after receiving the news, Jiang Xiangyun strictly reconnoitered the Japanese Army's retreat route.

Learning that Chu Yunfei under Lv Muzhi had driven the 21st Division back again, Jiang Xiangyun immediately rearranged an ambush.

With the Youth Army chasing behind, although the 21st Division had many men, they would surely be in utter disarray.

By then, not to mention boasting about capturing some Japanese general.

Taking advantage of the chaos to blow out some Japanese Army equipment and supplies would also be a sure thing!

Before the ambush position, a signal tree in the distance fell, representing that the Japanese Army was coming.

"Commander! The devils are back!"

After hearing this, Jiang Xiangyun came to his only Type 92 Infantry Gun and said to the several artillerymen of the gun crew:

"Aim at the little devils' lead vehicle and fire!"

"Block all the devils on the road; when the gunfire sounds, the little devils will be busy escaping for their lives, and we'll have everything!"

The main gunner directly patted his chest and guaranteed: "Don't worry, Commander; at this distance, this Type 92 Infantry Gun hits where it points with direct fire!"

"At that time I guarantee, when the cannon sounds, ten thousand taels of gold!"
