Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 228 Breakthrough
Masaki Tatsuo originally wanted to use this battle to prove himself right, and use this battle as an example to wake up those stupid radicals, but the facts gave him a severe slap in the face.

Masaki Tatsuo couldn't figure it out. The imperial soldiers were superior to their opponents in both quality and quantity. Even the equipment he despised was more advanced than the enemy, but they couldn't break through the enemy's defense line.

Not only was it impossible to break through, but the troops also suffered heavy casualties. Up to now, more than [-] people have been killed or injured, nearly one-third of the total force.

If the casualties of the previous chariot troops are added, the casualties are close to half.

"What's going on?" Zheng Mu Chenxiong roared at his subordinates: "You are soldiers, the most elite fighters in the empire, but you can't defeat a group of militiamen, a group of mobs with hoes and sickles in their hands!"

No one dared to speak.

The subordinates all knew that although the enemy did not hold hoes and sickles as the major said, it was true if compared with the tanks and armored vehicles owned by the imperial army.

Apart from……

After a while, the staff officer replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is mainly the 'spray bombs' and 'shrapnel mines' in the hands of the enemy. Once they attack, they attack at a high density in a short time. We don't even have time to fight back." Nothing at all..."

"Stop talking about new equipment!" Masaki Tatsuo unceremoniously interrupted the staff officer: "This is just an excuse! If we talk about new equipment, will our new equipment be less than the enemy's? Tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft... And the enemy only has two so-called 'new equipment' to scare you like this! Could it be that you can only win a battle if the enemy has nothing?"

The subordinates could only bow their heads and respond "Yes!", not daring to refute half a sentence.

They couldn't refute it, because the facts were indeed as the major said, compared to equipment, the imperial army was definitely no worse than the enemy.

Therefore, they did not understand why the enemy could not be wiped out after a day of hard fighting.

What the devils don't know is that the battlefield has never been a simple comparison of military strength, quality and equipment, but a battle of wits and courage between the enemy and ourselves.

For example, devils are good at airplanes, cannons, and tanks, and they have formed a relatively complete industrial system. If the Eighth Route Army follows behind in these things, it will definitely fall behind and be beaten.

If the Eighth Route Army wants to develop equipment to destroy these things, it also strives to be simple, easy to produce, and easy to control.

It's kind of like a traffic raid.

Building a track, a bridge, a tunnel is difficult and costly, but blowing them up may require only a pack of dynamite.

In the same way, it is difficult to produce a tank, but it only takes one rocket to blow it up.

It is also because of this that if the opponent produces an aircraft carrier, we should immerse ourselves in the development of Dongfeng Express... When Dongfeng Express matures and is capable of ensuring its own safety, it will not be too late to slowly develop the aircraft carrier.

The same is true for the Eighth Route Army at this time.

To be precise, Wang Xuexin's thinking direction in developing military industry was perfectly staggered from that of the devils, so an asymmetric competition was formed in different dimensions, which made the devils so embarrassed.

Just as Masaki Tatsuo was reprimanding his subordinates, a communications soldier stepped forward and reported, "Master, your lieutenant general is on the phone!"

It was Ningji Okamura who called, and he was very shocked that Masaki Battalion had not been able to break through the enemy's defense line for more than ten hours.At this time, it entered the night again, which meant that the Masaki Battalion would once again lose the advantage of fire support from tanks and armored vehicles. Okamura believed that at this time, it should be more steady and not turbulent.

Therefore, Neiji Okamura bypassed all levels and directly called the Masaki Brigade, and confessed: "Masaki-kun, our reinforcements are temporarily held back by the enemy and cannot arrive in time. Please cooperate with Shigekawa's chariot troops to contain them." Stop the enemy, don't let them escape, understand?"

"Yes!" Masaki Tatsuo stood up and replied: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will definitely not let them escape! I'm very sorry, very sorry!"

Neiji Okamura's calm and non-critical tone made Masaki Tatsuo shudder.

Tatsuo Masaki heard something about Neiji Okamura from Adachi 23, the head of his division:
"If the teacher's tone is surprisingly polite, don't think that he is not angry. The reason why he didn't show it is because he thinks there is no need to care about the dead!"

Therefore, when he hung up the phone, Masaki Tatsuo stood there in a daze for a long time, thinking over and over again Okamura Neiji's words, and even chewed every word carefully.

In the end, Masaki Tatsuo believed that it was likely that Neiji Okamura was so disappointed in himself that he no longer expected Masaki Brigade to break through the enemy's defense line, and only asked to "contain the enemy and prevent him from escaping."

Masaki Tatsuo closed his eyes in frustration.

The future is worrying!

After many years of management, he was finally promoted to the rank of major, but unexpectedly, he was burned here.

At this time, there was a burst of fierce gunfire from the direction of the battlefield, and then a staff officer came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Yada Squadron has been attacked fiercely by the enemy, and the enemy seems to be taking advantage of the night to break through!"

Masaki Tatsuo lifted his spirits, secretly thinking that this might be his last chance.

So he immediately ordered: "Order, all troops cheer up, the time for the decisive battle has come!"

Just as Wang Xuexin guessed, Masaki Tatsuo placed the chariot troops at the forefront to launch an attack.

This is inevitable.

If you want to quickly chase the enemy or compress the enemy's living space, you must use tanks and engineers to clear mines in front.

At this time, Wang Xuexin was waiting for the devils to come up in the dark cave, to be precise, in the Type [-] tank.

The driver is a monk, and his position is on the right side of the front of the car body.

This guy finally got his wish, he sat in the driver's seat and hummed a little song proudly.

The machine gunner was transferred from the first battalion, named Liu Gang, nicknamed Gangzi.

It is said that he has been playing machine guns for more than two years, and he knows all kinds of machine guns of the Devils clearly, and can disassemble and reinstall all kinds of machine guns with his eyes closed.

As soon as he got into the left front side of the tank body (next to the monk's driver's seat), he touched the handle of the machine gun and said: "Type [-], good stuff!".

The gunner is an old wine, and he is squeezed in the same turret with the commander Wang Xuexin.

Wang Xuexin shone a flashlight on Laojiu and asked, "Do you know how to fix this cannon?"

Laojiu raised his head and replied, "Aren't all cannons the same, what do you not know?"

After talking and tossing a few times, it was really familiar.

Li Yunlong commanded the soldiers outside to seal the entrance of the cave.

He took advantage of the fact that the hole was not completely sealed, and shouted at Wang Xuexin: "Little Northeast, remember! Let's use the sound of cannons as a sign, and you will come out as soon as the cannons are fired! Don't worry!"

Wang Xuexin responded, but he was thinking in his heart, when the shooting starts...who would know who fired the cannon?
But there is no other better way, so we can only make up like this!
