Bright Sword Military System

The independent group arrived at Chifeng in the early morning of the third day.

Although it was the third day, the Independence Regiment only marched for two nights and one day:
Depart from Duolun County on the first night.

The next day, they hid in the woods to rest before dawn, and started marching again after dark.

Arrive at the destination in the early morning of the third day.

Kong Jie was a little strange about Li Yunlong's marching plan. He sent a messenger to get in touch with Li Yunlong... The mechanized troops kept their radio silent during the march, and the marching routes and positions of the three regiments were different, so they could only use the messenger to communicate with each other.

Kong Jie asked a series of questions in the letter: "I said, Lao Li, don't we say that we have mastered Chifeng's air supremacy? If we have mastered the air supremacy, we can march in the daytime? Why do we still hide?" Hurry up to Chifeng and attack the devils, wouldn't you?"

No wonder Kong Jie would ask this question. He thought that Li Yunlong was not talking about blitzkrieg all day long. Blitzkrieg was all about the speed of soldiers, and Li Yunlong wanted to give up the daytime when he marched faster. Isn't this contradictory?

Li Yunlong smiled and replied to Kong Jie. The letter was written by him himself. After studying with Zhao Gang for so long, he could finally write a few words, but if he couldn't write, he had to ask the correspondent.

In fact, Li Yunlong can read and write as a correspondent as usual, but Li Yunlong is not, he just wants to tell others that I am no longer a bumpkin, and I can write!
"Idiot Kong Er!" Li Yunlong replied, "You don't understand this! Although we have air supremacy, have you ever heard that offense is greater than defense? If our position is not exposed, our army's aviation will attack and the devil's aviation will defend. , the devils will be completely passive! If our position is exposed, the offense and defense will be completely lost, and the devils will attack us and defend. Trouble!"

Li Yunlong's words are level. The Eighth Route Army's mechanized troops are the weakness of the Devil's aviation. Once this weakness is exposed to the Devils, the Devils can turn passive into active... The remaining fighters of the Devils can choose to intercept and bomb the Eighth Route Army's mechanized troops. The Air Force of the Eighth Route Army was exhausted.

Kong Jie looked at the reply with a look of admiration.

"I can't see it!" Kong Jie said with a smile: "Li Yunlong is a promising guy, and he speaks clearly. He is smarter than Xiao Dongbei, right?"

Later, it is said that when Li Yunlong heard what Kong Jie said, he was so angry that he cursed: "Can this fool Kong Er talk? I don't know whether Xiaobei is following me or I am following Xiaobei? Xiaobei has to scream when he sees Lao Tzu now." Where is the leader!"

But this is what Li Yunlong only cares about when he relaxes after the war. At this time, he has no such leisure time at all.

Three mechanized regiments joined the tank troops in Chifeng City, a total of 21 "Shermans" plus six T44s, and then drove vigorously to Chifeng.

The timing of this attack was a little unclear. Li Yunlong originally planned to launch the attack before dawn, but it was difficult for the tanks to march... The roads around Chifeng are very bad. They are all muddy roads, and the tanks are stuck one after another. Unable to move in the mud.

But leaving tanks behind to attack Chifeng is not realistic. There is a city wall in Chifeng County. Although it is also an earthen city wall, it is more than five meters thick.

If this is completely attacked by half-track vehicles, I am afraid that this hard bone will not be able to be chewed.

So this tank was built by the soldiers cutting wood, filling stones, etc. all the way to build the road to get the tank to the destination. As a result, it took more than half an hour after dawn to arrive at Chifeng.

When I arrived at Chifeng, I saw that the Eighth Route Army Air Force had already bombed Chifeng.

The main target of the bombing is still the airport, which is mainly to prevent the devils from taking off fighter planes.

At this time, the Devil Aviation will be in an embarrassing situation: should the fighter plane stay in Chifeng or change the field?
Stay in Chifeng, the airfield runway is bombed again and again and the fighter planes are not only useless, once Chifeng is captured by the Eighth Route Army, these fighter planes may become the spoils of the Eighth Route Army.

Let's change the scene, Chifeng's air supremacy will be completely handed over to the Eighth Route Army, and it will be even more difficult for Chifeng to defend it!

This is the importance of bombers, and it is also the main reason why Wang Xuexin worked so hard to get "mosquito" bombers from Sun Never Set... Bombers on the battlefield can sometimes play a greater role than fighter jets, because they can suppress the airport and make the enemy The fighter plane couldn't take off.

In the end, the devil made a choice and ordered the plane to turn around.

This also made Wang Xuexin breathe a sigh of relief... In fact, the Eighth Route Army has never had enough rockets, mainly because it is difficult to transport them to the temporary airport opened in the mountainous area.

But from the point of view of the devils, they don't know how many rockets the Eighth Route Army still has, and they don't know how much the airport will be suppressed or how long it will be suppressed. They don't dare to take risks with fighter jets, so it's okay to make this decision question.

As soon as the Devil fighters are withdrawn from the field, the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army will rule the world.

Tanks to be exact!
The protagonist of this battle is undoubtedly the tanks, lined up outside the city wall one by one, facing the city wall with a single output.

How could the earthen city wall withstand the close-range bombing by tanks? In an instant, mud debris flew around, and after a while, it collapsed section by section due to the unbearable vibration.

The devil stationed in Chifeng is a senior officer named Kishimoto Muraki. He is an orthodox military officer who graduated from a non-commissioned officer school.

However, at this time, he didn't know how to command this battle, because this was a battle that was not used in all previous battles:
Even if the imperial army faced Maoxiong's army in the Battle of Nomonhan, the difference in strength would not be so great. At that time, the Empire still used Type 97 to face Maoxiong's T26.

But now, he has to face the enemy's new type of tank that can kill the "Tiger"!

Objectively speaking, Kishimoto Village has a lot of resources in his hands, because this is the strategically important Chifeng. Although the 26th Division rushed to reinforce Duolun County, they did not take away a lot of heavy equipment, including more than 97 Type [-] vehicles. The tank regiment and artillery battalion.

However, what is the use of these things?
Going out of town to fight the Eighth Route Army's new tanks and "Shermans"?

How is that different from courting death?
After thinking for a while, Kishimoto Muraki ordered: "Order the chariot regiment, build a chariot fort for the chariots, and prepare for the Eighth Route Army to enter the city for street fighting!"

Kishimoto Muraki thinks this way: Since he doesn't have the strength to go out of the city to fight the Eighth Route Army, he should try to delay the time in the city and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

Since it is delaying time, then using the chariot as a fort... Maybe it can still play a role!
