Chapter 1463 General's Demeanor
There is only one chapter tonight, make up tomorrow!
A book recommended by a friend: "From Arms Dealer to King of Military Industry", it seems that there are many books written on military industry during this time!
................................................

The final result is that the independent regiment successfully broke through, and there is a reason for Wang Xuexin to successfully break through.

After Wang Xuexin knew the situation on the battlefield, he immediately issued two orders:
"Order the two air defense systems and one hundred anti-aircraft missiles in Zhangjiakou to go to Jiulian town immediately!"

"Order the guerrillas to attack the devil's supply line or carry out a feint attack on the devil!"

The first order guaranteed the independent regiment's air superiority in Jiulian Township.

The most important thing for mechanized troops is air supremacy. Without air supremacy, the enemy will be killed in a large area, especially in the open grasslands and wilderness.

Although the Devil's Feiyan fighter plane is temporarily evenly matched with the "La 5", it is the result of the Eighth Route Army's aviation regiments pushing up one after another... The weakness of the "La 5" in terms of range is particularly prominent in this battle. The flight time of the Feiyan fighter is more than twice that of the "La 5".

This makes the "Flying Swallow" fighters always occupy a numerical advantage in the front line although the total number is not large... "La 5" has to be divided into several batches to refuel continuously, and the number of flying in the air at the same time is naturally not as good as "Feiyan". .

When Wang Xuexin moved the two air defense systems to Jiulian Township, the devil "Feiyan" would not dare to enter its range. The Eighth Route Army's breakout troops only needed to enter Jiulian Township to obtain air cover.

The second order is to slow down the marching speed of the Devil's First Tank Brigade... Only the Devil's Type 95 light tank can catch up with the Independent Regiment. Although it is not terrible, it may entangle the Eighth Route Army. In order to avoid this situation , The guerrillas attacked the devil's supply team, transportation team, and fuel warehouse, etc., so that the devil was a little too scared to act rashly.

This is also thanks to Wang Xuexin's previous arrangement... He let the guerrillas infiltrate the devil's hinterland along the mountains, otherwise there would not be enough force to attack the devil's supply line now.

That afternoon, the breakout troops of the Independent Regiment gathered in Jiulian town one after another. The Devil's "Flying Swallow" fighters wanted to continue chasing them, but were shot down by a series of anti-aircraft missiles flying into the sky, and then the Devil's fighters were frightened again. I dare not approach it.

The information that the Eighth Route Army successfully broke through the encirclement made Naozaburo Okabe furious. He hung up the phone to Masao Yasuoka's headquarters and cursed angrily: "You are the first tank brigade of the empire, the most elite tank brigade in the empire. The troops, and also strengthened ten of the strongest 'Tigers' for you, and let the enemy break through when they fell into a trap! What's going on? Do you need me to disarm them in order for you to win? ?”

Masao Yasuoka also found it hard to believe this result, because when he counted the casualties, he was surprised to find that the First Tank Brigade lost 38 tanks in this battle, including two "Tiger Types" and five "Type I Types". Ten Type 97s and 21 Type 95s, if you add the injured tanks, you can form a wing.

Successfully ambushing the Eighth Route Army, not only failed to annihilate them but also let them destroy a regiment?This is almost half of the strength of the First Tank Brigade!
"Your Excellency, General!" Masao Yasuoka replied with difficulty: "I think...the Eighth Route Army may be stronger than we imagined, and we should...re-evaluate their combat effectiveness!"

Naozaburo Okabe didn't answer, he also felt this, the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army were not just new equipment, they also had amazing fighting will and excellent commanders, and this was the key to their successful breakthrough.

Otherwise, "Flying Swallow" and "La 5" will tie, "Tiger" will suppress "Sherman", and the imperial army still has a numerical advantage and has the right time and place. There is no reason why they cannot win!
The battle quickly spread internationally.

Ordinarily, a regiment-level breakout battle on the Huaxia battlefield should not attract international attention, but this battle is the first time that the devils have deployed "Tiger" tanks and "Flying Swallow" fighters on the battlefield, and at the same time, this will of course cause hostility The country pays special attention to Eagle Sauce and Sun Never Sets.

But without exception, their interest soon shifted from "Tiger Style" and "Flying Swallow" to the successful breakthrough of the Eighth Route Army.

Admiral Yingjiang exclaimed: "The devil invested in these two kinds of equipment, and the Eighth Route Army managed to break through? How did they do it!"

No wonder the admiral was surprised, he knew how terrible the "tiger style" was. This thing once became a legend on Maoxiong's battlefield. If Yingjiang's army encountered this situation, it would probably collapse immediately , How could it break out of the encirclement in such an orderly and orderly manner like the Eighth Route Army.

The Sun Never Sets Field Marshal nodded after reading the battle report: "The gun detection radar plays a key role in this battle, and this is something we can learn from!"

What the field marshal didn't consider was that this tactic would never be enough to just use the gun detection radar. It also required the fearless sacrifice of the soldiers, which soldiers on which the sun never sets did not have.

Everyone is praising the Eighth Route Army, thinking that although their defeat is glorious, the independent regiment in Jiulian town is shrouded in the shadow of failure.

The independent regiment suffered heavy losses in this battle:

The soldiers sacrificed more than [-] people and injured more than [-] people, and more than [-] people were missing... It is not sure whether they got separated or died, but the preliminary estimate is that there are more than [-] casualties.

Only three "Sherman" tanks came back, and each one was damaged and needed major repairs.

More than [-] half-track vehicles were lost, and all the ones that came back were full of bullet holes, and some of the cab hatches were cut in half by shrapnel.

The artillery suffered the heaviest loss. All 12 artillery pieces, including the artillery detection radar, self-destructed. Of the more than 300 people in the battalion, only [-] or so came back, and there were no Fang Junyang.

Li Yunlong specifically asked these thirty or so people: "Where is your battalion commander? Did you get separated or died?"

Some of the thirty or so artillerymen were silent and some shook their heads slightly. Only one of them wiped his tears and replied: "The battalion commander ordered us to withdraw first, and he commanded the troops to cover from the rear... Then we lost contact!"

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said nothing.

It is quite normal for such a situation to occur in a breakout battle. The rear cover troops need to be commanded by a commander, and Fang Junyang is still a party member. He should and must stand in the most dangerous place during the battle, otherwise these thirty or so people will not be able to retreat. come out.

Li Yunlong returned to the temporary headquarters with a dark face. When he entered the door, he sighed and returned to normal. He took out a cigarette and handed it in front of Zhao Gang. He asked, "Have you reported the loss to the superior? What did the superior say?"

"I didn't say anything!" Zhao Gang replied, "Let's organize the defense and take a good rest. We'll talk about the offense later!"

Li Yunlong squatted aside silently smoking a cigarette after saying "um", and said after a while: "Devil, what is the name of the newly appointed commander of the front army? Okabe Nao... Saburo, you have a hand! We can Handle with care!"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong's appearance and couldn't help but nodded secretly, whether he was proud of victory or discouraged by defeat, Li Yunlong was becoming more and more general-like!
