Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 376 Fire Sea
Li Yunlong guessed right, the devil was really fooled.

This is the devil's two tank squadrons, commander Nagai Xingwei Major.

Nagai Xingwei is very confident in his tank units, because they have all undergone necessary modifications...most of them are protected with sandbags, and the Type 97 tanks have shell casings welded to weak armor.

Shell casings will provide much better protection than sandbags.

This can be proved from the fact that they rushed here through the interception of the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas.

However, only the Type 97 can do this. If the Type 95 tank is welded with too many shell casings, it is not much different from increasing the thickness of the armor, which will make the engine unable to bear the load.

When the battle ahead started, Nagai Yukio was looking at the map to calculate the distance to the friendly forces. If this continued, it would only take two hours to join forces with the third tank regiment.

Nagai Yukio felt that this battle was a bit like the "blitzkrieg" of the allies... The Devil Armored Forces have always used the examples of the allies as their teaching materials, and they are proud of being able to fight a similar battle.

At this time, Nagai Yukie was full of vigor and complacency because of this.

In fact, the devils did not grasp the essence of "blitzkrieg" at all.

"Blitzkrieg" is to make maximum use of the advantage of "offense is greater than defense".

That is to use the rapid maneuverability of tanks and mechanized troops to actively attack and continuously mobilize the enemy's troops...

To defend an area, troops and resources must be evenly distributed in this area, but to attack, you can concentrate your forces to break through quickly.

In the final analysis, it is "decentralization by concentration".

Thus "blitzkrieg" can always crush more enemies with far fewer troops.

Devil, this looks like a "pincer offensive" in the "Blitzkrieg", but its essence is pure encirclement warfare.

At this time Nagai Xingwei heard gunshots coming from the front.

Nagai Xingwei can easily judge from the gunshots that the enemy's strength does not exceed one platoon.

Then he received a telegram from Xichuan Shaye: "Our department was attacked by a small group of enemy troops, requesting reinforcements!"

Nagai Xingwei was a little dissatisfied with Xi Chuan, this coward, just a small army scared him like this.

I'm afraid he is talking about his beautiful wife in his heart again at this moment!
What a disgrace to the empire!
No wonder he was only a second lieutenant at this time...

If it weren't for the fact that he was a classmate at the time, Nagai would have thrown him to the engineering unit for demining.

Nagai casually ordered: "Go ahead, don't let those Eighth Route Army escape!"

According to Nagai's thinking, the enemies in this platoon would probably run away without a trace before the main force went up.

This is the norm along the way, and Nagai is used to it.

Therefore, when the gunfire stopped, Nagai took it for granted that the battle was over, and they were one step too late... The enemy must have already fled.

What Nagai didn't expect was that the battle was indeed over, and they were indeed one step too late.

But it wasn't that the enemy fled, but Xichuan Shaye's reconnaissance team had been wiped out.

Yukio Nagai knew this before long, because the chariot walking in the front reported to Nagai through the radio: "Your Majesty, the Nishikawa team has been wiped out, and no one survived!"

Nagai couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. The enemy only had one platoon, but they were able to wipe out the entire reconnaissance team in such a short period of time, including two tanks... This is not something that guerrillas can do!

"How did they destroy the chariot?" Nagai Xingwei was a little surprised. The Eighth Route Army should have nothing to do.

"I'm not sure!" Front replied: "But it is likely to be ignited!"

The reason for "not sure" is that it is impossible to tell whether the tank exploded after it caught fire, or whether it caught fire after it exploded.

Nagai Yukie thought for a while, and then ordered: "Get ready to fight, this is probably a trap!"

Nagai made this judgment because he thought of one point: If the enemy can destroy two tanks within a few minutes, it means that the enemy poses a huge threat to his tank brigade and can even cause huge losses.

That being the case, why did the enemy retreat?

If the enemy is not retreating, it means they are still nearby.

So this is a trap.

But now it was too late, especially since the devil's tank did not have a reverse gear, it would be very troublesome to retreat on the narrow road.

From this point of view, it seems that Nagai should order the troops to charge forward.

But in fact, it is not feasible to rush forward or backward.

First of all, as soon as the independent regiment arrived at Shanguai, they planted explosives and laid directional mines before and after this section of the road. The tanks would be blown up by the explosives and block the road no matter whether they were going forward or backward.

Secondly, if the Devil Tank moves forward, it may be able to push away the two tanks that are still burning.

After all, those two vehicles are Type 95, with a total weight of only 6.7 tons.

What is the concept of 6.7 tons? A Jiefang car weighs 3.9 tons and has a load capacity of 4 tons...that is, a car full of goods is much heavier than it.

The problem is that when the Devil's tanks push these tanks away, their speed must slow down.

Slow speed means they will be excellent targets for Molotov cocktails.

So the tank pushed more and more and more and more... In the end, they all had to stay here.

Therefore, Nagai's order to "prepare for battle" was correct. In fact, they had only one way to survive, which was to use the firepower of tanks and the coordination of infantry to repel the enemy's encirclement on the spot.

However, Nagai didn't realize what they were about to face...

As soon as Li Yunlong saw the devil jumping off the satchel and the car to deploy his troops, he knew that the devil had discovered the clue, so he waved his hand immediately and ordered: "Fight!"

As he said, he raised the box cannon and shot two "bang bang" shots in the direction of the enemy!
Intensive gunshots rang out quickly, and the devils who had not had time to jump out of the car were immediately knocked down.

At this time, the independent regiment and the Jinsui Army had a total of more than 2000 people, and many of them were equipped with Jin-made submachine guns, especially the reconnaissance company of the monk, almost everyone had a submachine gun.

This submachine gun can't hit at a distance, but it can hit five at a time in close combat, and the devil's three-eighth cover can't stand it.

So after a burst of gunfire, the devil infantry was immediately knocked down a large area!

"Chariot, free fire!" Nagai ordered loudly to the radio in the armored vehicle: "Cover the infantry to fight and wipe out the enemy!"

Tanks and infantry are mutual cover coexistence relationship.

The tank provides protection and firepower for the infantry, and the infantry complements the firepower and blind spots of the chariot to keep the enemy from approaching.

but……

Tanks at this time seemed unable to protect infantry at all.

With the whistling of several shells, there was a burst of explosion behind the tank, but what exploded were balls of fireballs.

The devil infantry hiding behind the tank was immediately surrounded by a sea of ​​flames amidst screams.
