Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1577
Therefore, Li Yunlong's battle plan is interlocking. He intends to use the broken troops of the Iron Stone Army as a cover to rush into the defense line of the Devil's 39th Division.

This plan is indeed feasible, because the Devil's anti-tank rifle is more suitable for long-distance combat... This thing has a lot of recoil and not many ammunition, so it needs to be fully prepared to fire a shot.

If the half-track car is far away from it, there is no way, it is difficult for the half-track car to find its position and suppress it with firepower.

But if the distance is short, the burst rifle on the half-track vehicle will be the nightmare of the devil's anti-tank rifle.

It's just that there is a risk in this "interlocking chain": in case one of the links is broken, this battle plan will become unfeasible.

The battle begins with minesweeping.

The devils planted many landmines one mile outside the defense line. If these mines might have been a problem to the Eighth Route Army in the past, the Eighth Route Army at that time lacked even guns, let alone mortars and shells.

but now……

Li Yunlong only needed to dispatch a batch of [-] small artillery and mortars to bombard the enemy's defense line, and the devils didn't even dare to fight back.

It's not that they dare not fight back, but that all devils who fight back cannot escape the fate of being bombed.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army's transistor-based artillery detection radar has been turned on, and the three M30 howitzer battalions are also ready. Whether it is an infantry artillery or a howitzer, as soon as the devil fires, a row of artillery shells will immediately press towards their artillery positions. .

Among them, the Eighth Route Army also found the positioning signals of two gun detection radars.

Li Yunlong was too lazy to pretend not to know at this moment, he waved his big hand and ordered: "Blow them up immediately!"

So with a few "booms", the devil's artillery detection radar was blown into the sky.

At this time, Naozaburo Okabe suddenly realized: "So it turns out that the artillery detection radar itself is a trap, and the Eighth Route Army must have done something to the artillery detection radar!"

After knowing this, Naozaburo Okabe’s face turned green, because the imperial army suffered heavy casualties and invested a lot of money and R&D personnel to produce artillery detection radar. Unexpectedly, the products produced not only failed to work Instead, he exposed himself...

Oshiroto Sanji also asked strangely: "But your Excellency, those artillery detection radars are produced by ourselves. How could the Eighth Route Army manipulate them?"

Naozaburo Okabe replied: "Mr. Oshiroto, we are just copying! The Eighth Route Army has long known that we cannot crack those wires, so..."

So Sanji Oshiroto understood. Although he didn't understand it very well, if the imperial army just copied it, then it would copy the hands and feet made by the Eighth Route Army, so even the artillery detection radar produced by the empire itself has the same problem.

At this moment, Ojoto Sanji sighed inwardly, and said to himself: "Actually, this does not mean that the Eighth Route Army is cunning, but that the empire is too useless! Even if the Eighth Route Army sends us the artillery detection radar, we cannot produce it ourselves. It can only be copied, and I haven't even understood its principle until now... Are Chinese people really an inferior nation? Are they really unworthy of living in this world?"

Ojoto Sanji fundamentally suspected the reason for the empire's invasion of China.

Under the cover of the artillery detection radar, the mortars and [-] small artillery of the Eighth Route Army were very "comfortable" to clear mines before the war, and even sent engineers to fill the anti-tank trenches in advance... Another weakness of the anti-tank trenches is that It was so deep that enemy infantry could use it as a trench if they entered an anti-tank trench.

At this time, it should have been the time for the artillery fire of the 39th Division to provide fire cover for the Iron Stone troops, but the commander of the 39th Division did not do so!
The head of the 39th Division is called Yoshikawa Saki, he is a person who is good at forbearance.

He was a major during the Battle of Nuomenhan. The entire brigade he led was surrounded by bears for half a month and starved to death. In the end, only more than 100 people came back alive, including Yoshikawa Saki.

Yoshikawa Saki used a telescope to look at the smoke in the distance, and the radio station heard over and over again that the Iron Stone Army asked for help, but Yoshikawa Saki was indifferent.

The staff officer asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency, Major General, one of our tasks is to provide cover for the Iron Stone Army. If we ignore the Iron Stone Army's request for help..."

"Matsushima-kun!" Yoshikawa Saki interrupted the staff officer: "I didn't make this decision because of the Iron Stone Troops. I know what it means to the Empire. Rather, even if there are Imperial troops ahead, I will also make this decision." Do it!"

Then Yoshikawa Saki explained: "We are providing artillery support now. Besides letting the Eighth Route Army know about our deployment, what else can we get? To blow up the Eighth Route Army's mortarmen and engineers? No, what we want is the Eighth Route Army's infantry and soldiers." Mechanized troops!"

The staff officer nodded. He knew that Yoshikawa Saki was right. The best time to cover artillery fire was when the Eighth Route Army was fully attacking, not now.

And this decision cannot be changed just because the target for help is the Iron Stone Army, it will not be of any benefit to the battle situation.

Then the Eighth Route Army launched an attack, and information came from the communications unit immediately: "Major General, the Eighth Route Army has launched an attack, and the frontal infantry regiment and mechanized troops on the flanks are about to enter the range of our artillery fire!"

Yoshikawa Saki couldn't help but frowned, he felt something was wrong.

The staff officer asked suspiciously and nervously: "Your Excellency, Major General?"

At this time, if we don't provide cover for the Iron Stone troops, it will be unreasonable. Not only will we violate the orders of our superiors, but it will also affect the entire army because the 39th Division allows the Iron Stone troops to be attacked... because this shows that the imperial army will The iron and stone troops are used as cannon fodder.

If the elite of the puppet army as representatives of the puppet army are all used as cannon fodder by the imperial army, is there any hope for other puppet troops?
At most, they would have to become Iron Stone Troops, and then be used as cannon fodder?

So this is not as simple as fire cover, but related to the morale of the puppet army!

Yoshikawa Saki also felt such pressure, so he could only order with a calm face: "Order artillery, get ready for battle!"

"Artillery battle preparation!"

"Battle ready!"

……

The order was passed down in a voice.

Saki Yoshikawa looked at the sky, there were only a few "La 5" hovering nearby, and there was no shadow of fighter jets in the distance.

"No!" Saki Yoshikawa said, "If the Eighth Route Army didn't plan to use fighter planes to suppress our artillery fire, how could they launch an attack with such confidence? Don't they know that our artillery fire can reach the front line?"

"Your Excellency, Major General!" said the staff officer, "If the Eighth Route Army doesn't attack like this, how else can it fight?"

The staff officer thought that the Eighth Route Army hoped to create a safety line with crowd tactics, and then pull the artillery fire into the safety line and then use howitzers and artillery detection radar to counterattack.

What the staff did not expect was that the Eighth Route Army already had hundreds of anti-ship missiles ready on the other side.
