Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1525 Chasing and Killing
In fact, Taketa Uchiji thought too much. He didn't need to think about the defense of Duolun County at all. What he should have considered was whether the 81st Division could withdraw to Duolun County.

Because not long after Takeda Neiji contacted his superiors, more than 5 "La [-]" of the Eighth Route Army rushed up like a tide to fight with the devil's "Feiyan" and "Zero War".

If it was just "pull 5", the Devil's fighter plane might still maintain its advantage, but at this moment, several anti-aircraft missiles were fired from the ground, blowing up the Devil's "Flying Swallow" fighter plane into a ball of flames and then disintegrating in the air... The air battle happened in an instant reverse.

The air defense system was indeed deployed in Shagou Town. Takeda Neiji was right about this, but what he didn't expect was that the Eighth Route Army had already used such advanced equipment as the air defense system as auxiliary offensive equipment.

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army actually did not need to seize air supremacy to win.

The reason is that the 20 T44s and 23 "Shermans" of the Eighth Route Army have become hard equipment that the devils cannot shake at this time.

Devil fighters are not equipped with anti-tank armor-piercing projectiles. If they want to attack tanks, they can only rely on machine guns to directly attack the weak top armor of tanks.

But this is obviously very difficult. The fighter plane must dive at a large angle and hit the top of the tank that is not much bigger than the washbasin... If you are not careful, you will crash into the ground plane and destroy people.

If the devils had any way to deal with these two tanks, it would be to send infantry to blow them up close with explosive packs or thorn mines, but the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army would not let them succeed.

Therefore, the soldiers only need to chase the devils under the cover of tanks, and the final victory must belong to the Eighth Route Army.

But Wang Xuexin is not satisfied with this.

Wang Xuexin believes that the Devil Kwantung Army is different from the North China Front Army. The Kwantung Army is well-trained and well-equipped. If they are allowed to escape back to Duolun County, it will undoubtedly plant a time bomb for future attacks.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin decisively ordered all members of the aviation team to attack and seize the air supremacy with the devils. After seizing the air supremacy, the three mechanized regiments would be able to play a role... Although the tanks are not afraid of the devils' planes, the half-track vehicles of the mechanized regiment cannot withstand the attack of the planes.

So the protagonist of this battle is actually neither "Sherman" nor "T44". After T44 solved the "Tiger", it almost completed the task.

The real protagonists are the half-track cars.

As soon as the air supremacy was returned to the Eighth Route Army, the three mechanized regiments hiding in Shagou Town were like tigers that had been hungry for a few days, and they couldn't wait to chase the devils in three directions.

Among them, the Independent Regiment is in the middle, and the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment are respectively surrounded from the two wings.

Although the devils had fled for more than three miles, how could their two legs be faster than the four wheels of a half-track car?After a while, they were overtaken by the independent group.

Then there is a massacre...

The first to fire were the half-track vehicles equipped with mortars. As they advanced, they fired shells at the devils who turned back in a hurry to organize defenses.

Although these shells were not very accurate when fired from the bumpy car, the devils had no fortifications or cover. They just turned around and lay down on the ground, raised their guns and fired, trying to block the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.

This is of course a delusion. The shells came in a row and blew up the devil's defense line to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the machine gun on the half-track vehicle started shooting. The advantage of the machine gun is that its bullets are continuous, and the shooter can adjust the angle and direction according to the point of impact. Their targets are the devil's grenadier shooters and machine gunners... the point It's the devil's grenade shooter, because the grenade is a device that can threaten half-track vehicles, and it may throw grenades into the rear compartment.

Under the heavy rain of bullets from the soldiers, the devil grenadier shooters screamed and were beaten into sieves and fell into a pool of blood, and all the devils in the vicinity of more than ten meters also suffered and were beaten to death or injured.

This was done intentionally by the machine gunners. They did not allow any devils to get close to the grenades. Otherwise, given the quality of the Kwantung Army, any devil who mastered the grenades might be effective.

If the distance was any closer, it would be the soldier with a repeating rifle in the rear compartment who started the fight.

They didn't all fight in the front of the car... The space in the front of the car is so small that it is left for the machine gunner. If there is another person standing next to it, the machine gun may not be able to rotate.

Most of the riflemen stood on both sides of the rear compartment, shooting towards the upper left and upper right respectively.

It was not their own half-track that they were covering, but the adjacent friendly vehicles.

It is not difficult to imagine that if every vehicle does this, the half-track vehicles that drive forward in a row, except for the two vehicles at both ends that only have one-way cover, the rest of the half-track vehicles will have crossfire from both sides. cover.

Therefore, they don't need to worry about their own safety, and their comrades will protect them. At the same time, they also provide protection for the tank, so it perfectly solves the problem of the front shooting area being blocked.

This is a kind of coordination, a kind of coordination that gives life to comrades-in-arms. It requires 100% trust between comrades-in-arms and a high level of tacit understanding.

For example, the driver of a half-track car found that there was danger ahead: several devils hid in the crater and equipped with grenades.

At this time, the driver will slow down to make himself behind the half-track vehicles of the friendly forces on both sides.

The friendly halftracks on either side know what's going on right away, and they'll speed out and flank or throw a grenade or take out the enemy from a better angle before slowing down and back to the line.

The Eighth Route Army's way of fighting made the devils care about one side but not the other side. There were Eighth Route Army half-track vehicles in all directions. In addition, the devil's equipment for dealing with half-track vehicles was very limited and the speed was not as fast as half-track vehicles, so they were beaten. It will be defeated.

Li Yunlong was not in a hurry, he commanded the half-track car to follow behind the devil's rout army, and followed unhurriedly: if the devil stopped to defend, Li Yunlong ordered to speed up and quickly smash the defense line; if the devil escaped, Li Yunlong ordered to slow down behind hunt down.

It was like driving the devil away like a sheep, killing all the way, and there were corpses and blood everywhere along the way.

Li Yunlong himself followed the troops in a half-track vehicle. He watched the devils running around in a panic through the binoculars, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth: "Don't you little devils always like to play around?" Is this trick? Today I will let you have a taste of the real Wei San Jue Yi!"

But of course, Li Yunlong could tell that the devil was going to Jiulian town.

Once the devils enter the city, the mechanized troops will not be able to fight so comfortably.
