Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1451 Generation Difference
There is only one update today, and I will make it up tomorrow!

--------------

The battle became intense from the very beginning... This is the characteristic of mechanized troops attacking, and it can also be said to be the characteristic of "blitzkrieg".

They have collected enough information to know where the enemy's weaknesses are, and at the same time they don't want to give the enemy too much time to prepare, so they will attack with all their strength as soon as the offensive starts.

First of all, the artillery battalion fired rows of shells into the city... The devils are at the first level of the brigade, and besides the anti-tank guns, there are a few infantry guns.

The anti-tank gun has been blown into a pile of scrap iron by rocket fighters, and the range of the infantry gun is far less than that of the M30 howitzer, so the howitzer can fire with confidence.

At the same time, the gun detection radar is also in working condition. As soon as the Devil's infantry gun fires, the artillery will blast it up immediately.

The "Sherman" tank led a team of soldiers to attack the city wall from two directions, and soon hit the earth wall with the roar of the engine, and the earth wall collapsed into a pile of broken earth in an instant, and the front armor of the tank was like a broken cocoon The flying insects came out from the other side of the earth wall, crushing the devils and puppet soldiers hiding behind the earth wall under the tracks.

The puppet army fled around in panic and shouts. The devils roared at the puppet army and raised their guns to resist, but the rifles could not resist the steel monster in front of them. After a burst of machine guns, they turned into corpses.

The Fujii Brigade was not so vulnerable. In the Battle of Nomonhan, they blew up [-] tanks with the force of a brigade and forced a tank regiment back. Therefore, the Fujii Brigade was called glory by the Kwantung Army. The brigade became a model for the army.

After that, the Fujii Battalion has never forgotten their mission. They are very keen on anti-tank from top to bottom, and have been training to rush to the target with explosive kits, Type 99 magnetic anti-tank mines, and Type [-] stab mines.

This is also one of the reasons why Naozaburo Okabe assured Zhangbei County to the Fujii Brigade.

In Okabe's view, the Fujii Battalion is a unit equipped with a large amount of anti-tank equipment and rich experience in anti-tank operations.

But today is different...

The performance of the "Sherman" tank is not comparable to that of the T26 in the Battle of Nomonhan. At the same time, Mao Xiong does not pay attention to the coordination of infantry and tanks, while the Eighth Route Army does not.

When the devils approached the "Sherman" from different directions with their various anti-tank equipment, they immediately found that all the tactical actions they usually practiced would not work...

The Eighth Route Army's follow-up troops suppressed them with firepower from multiple directions: front, flanks, and high places.

High interception fire came from machine guns on half-track vehicles.

The main power of the half-track car is the track, which can pass through the ruins of the city wall knocked out by the tank like a tank and follow up in the city.

After entering the city, its armor will become the auxiliary of the tank... Although its armor is not as good as that of a tank, it can withstand most of the firepower of the devils. The machine gun on it has a good vision and can even drive bullets into the crater.

The soldiers of the independent regiment were also equipped with bursting rifles, and this firepower beat the devils into hiding in the bunker without daring to show their heads at all.

The devils waited for the enemy tanks to approach in the bunker with a glimmer of hope, but what they waited for was not tanks but grenades with green smoke...

Not having long-range anti-tank equipment is the devil's most fatal weakness, but if there are a few rocket launchers, the battle will not be so disparate.

But there are no ifs on the battlefield, the equipment has generational differences and tactics are seriously backward, so the devil can only painfully accept the reality in front of him... Although he is a well-trained Kwantung Army, and no one surrendered and no one deserted until the last moment, but Still can't change the fate of being massacred.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour.

The reason why it took so long was because the devils resisted until the end, until the warehouse in the city was blown up and the last team was buried in the ruins.

Even Li Yunlong praised after the war: "These devils are good, tell the rear troops, take the time to bury them!"

Li Yunlong is full of spirit, whether he is one of his own or an enemy, he respects heroes!

Information about the fall of Zhangbei County was quickly passed to Naozaburo Okabe's headquarters. Naozaburo Okabe was taken aback: "The Eighth Route Army... actually attacked Zhangbei County? And wiped out the Fujii Brigade in half an hour?"

"Yes!" Chief of Staff Sanji Okito replied: "The Fujii Battalion resisted until the last moment, and our air force rushed to reinforce as soon as it received the information, but was intercepted by fighter planes of the Eighth Route Army, and seven fighter planes were lost. In exchange for two enemy planes!"

Naozaburo Okabe let out a "hmm" and he expected the result of the air battle. Zhangbei County is only 55 kilometers away from Zhangjiakou. This distance is within the air control range of the Eighth Route Army's "La 5". Not cheap.

However, it was beyond his expectation that the Eighth Route Army troops would go out of the Northeast and wipe out the Fujii brigade so quickly.

It seems that the repeated defeats of the North China Front Army were not because they were not brave enough to fight, but because the Eighth Route Army was too powerful!

Thinking of this, Naozaburo Okabe couldn't help but frowned. In this way, he should re-evaluate the combat power ratio between the Kwantung Army and the Eighth Route Army!
Ojoto Sanji said next to him: "Your Excellency, our army is seriously short of troops in the west of Nuluerhu Mountain and Daxing'anling Mountains. The Eighth Route Army seized this weakness of our army and used mechanized troops to carry out surprise attacks. We should block their attack as soon as possible. Attack, otherwise the defense line on the west side will be broken by the Eighth Route Army one by one..."

Naozaburo Okabe shook his head, and instead of answering, asked, "How can we block their attack?"

"What?" The chief of staff was dumbfounded by Naozaburo Okabe's question, and after he realized it, he replied: "Send troops for reinforcements, and then..."

"Oshiroto-kun!" Naozaburo Okabe interrupted the chief of staff: "They are mechanized troops, and the terrain on the west side is either grassland or wilderness. The mechanized troops don't even need to advance along the road. Where should the troops we send be reinforced?" ?”

Only then did Ojoto Sanji understand what Okabe Naozaburo meant.

Naozaburo Okabe was right. Such terrain seemed impossible to intercept the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army, unless the empire had mechanized troops that were faster than the Eighth Route Army.

Is there an imperial army?

Indeed there is!
However, the so-called mechanized troops of the imperial army are three-wheeled motorcycles and cars, and at most a few armored vehicles or Type 95 tanks.

Even if such a mechanized force can catch up with the Eighth Route Army, so what?
Just go to die!

"Then, Your Excellency General!" Sanji Okito said, "Should we let the Eighth Route Army go on rampage like this?"

Naozaburo Okabe stared at Zhangbei County on the map, and said, "Don't worry, Oshiroto-san! They will pay the price for this!"
