Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 494 Misjudgment
"Your Excellency!" The staff officer asked after conveying the order: "The general ordered us to rush to Yuncheng at full speed. If we miss the opportunity..."

Tomijiro raised his hand to interrupt the staff officer and asked, "How far is it to Yuncheng?"

The staff officer looked at the map and replied, "It's seven kilometers away from the Eighth Route Army's line of defense!"

"Stay where you are!" Aritomijiro ordered.

"Rest in place!"

"Rest in place!"

……

This order of Aritomijiro is correct, the chariot unit is different from other units.

For other units, such as the Mountain Artillery Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment, marching for an hour or two is nothing, and even the infantry regiment marching for two hours is just a warm-up.

But the chariot team marched for two hours... the driver had almost reached his physical limit, and he took a short rest for 10 minutes, but he was still exhausted at this time.

In Aritojiro's view, if the Eighth Route Army's defense line is only infantry, then the cavalry regiment, mountain artillery regiment, and chariot regiment can of course break through without rest and hit Yuncheng.

But if there are chariots in the Eighth Route Army... fighting against them in such a tired state is almost courting death.

It's just that what Tomijiro didn't expect was that his stopping doesn't mean that the Eighth Route Army can't do anything...

At this time, Wang Xuexin was organizing the attack on Yuncheng.

After the Eighth Route Army invaded Yuncheng, it did not mean that the battle was over. The devils were still entrenched on the city wall and even stubbornly resisted in the bunkers and gun towers outside the city.

At this time, for the devils, it can be said that it is unnecessary or even dangerous to guard the bunkers and gun towers outside the city.

Because as long as a certain section of the city wall is captured by the Eighth Route Army, the bunkers and gun towers outside this section of the city wall will be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and they will still be attacked...

The bunkers and gun towers all have perforations facing outwards, and the entrances are all facing the city wall. It will be difficult for the devils to even resist.

The Eighth Route Army can set up the devil's [-] infantry artillery on the city wall to destroy these bunkers and gun towers one by one.

But the devils just don't retreat.

To be precise, it is not that they do not retreat, but that the main force is withdrawn and only a few people are left.

For example, a gun tower can accommodate two squads of soldiers, and the devils keep two or three people in the gun tower, one on each floor, and keep shooting out of the perforation holes.

The devil's approach is very clever.

It is mainly to buy time for the main force to build new defenses in residential areas.

The second is that the Eighth Route Army cannot obtain these fortifications... Once these bunkers and artillery towers fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, they will become a sharp weapon against the devil's reinforcements, and the Eighth Route Army may be able to fight both inside and outside.

But if the devils keep a few people in the fortifications, the Eighth Route Army can only blow them up one by one if they want to occupy them, so the ruins of the bunkers and gun towers will remain.

The tactics are correct, but at the cost of sacrificing the lives of soldiers... The cruel style of the devil commander makes people feel chills.

But this tactic didn't work.

All the soldiers need to do is to approach the bunkers and gun towers from the rear, and then throw grenades or incendiary bottles into them from the perforations... At this time, the soldiers prefer to use grenades instead of incendiary bottles, because the grenades only kill the enemy It will not burn or detonate the equipment and ammunition inside.

Just as Wang Xuexin commanded the tanks to attack the city wall section by section to clear the bunkers outside the city, Li Yunlong called: "Little Northeast, the devil tanks have arrived! A chariot regiment has more than [-] tanks, but they are parked seven miles outside the defense line." Do not move!"

The Eighth Route Army has scouts along the way, so the devil's situation is naturally under control.

What the Devil Chariot Team did surprised Wang Xuexin.

Wang Xuexin originally thought that the devils would launch the chariot troops into the attack as soon as they arrived, but they actually stopped seven kilometers away.

Obviously, the devil was buying time to rest, or to be precise, he had noticed something.

"What about the cavalry wing and artillery wing?" Wang Xuexin asked.

"The Artillery Wing hasn't arrived yet!" Li Yunlong replied: "The Cavalry Wing is already building fortifications to prepare for the attack."

"How many troops?" Wang Xuexin asked again.

"About 1000 people!" Li Yunlong replied.

The standard establishment of the Devil Cavalry Wing is four cavalry squadrons and one machine gun squadron, with a full establishment of 1400 people.

But in fact, such an organization cannot be achieved... This should be limited by horses, and devils need a large number of horses for transportation rather than combat.

Therefore, the cavalry of a cavalry regiment usually has only 800 cavalry, and as few as 400 cavalry.

However, the cavalry needs more logistics to supply horses, so it usually needs three or four hundred logistics personnel. These logistics personnel usually drive mules or follow the troops in mule carts, and also participate in combat during ground battles. Only the brigade size.

If we look at the usual comparison of combat power, even if there is only one brigade, it is not a problem to fight against a division of the Eighth Route Army, not to mention that there is a tank regiment a few kilometers away, and there is also a mountain artillery regiment on the way.

Therefore, after the cavalry regiment arrived, it grandly built fortifications outside the Eighth Route Army's defense line, and launched an attack only when the troops arrived.

Wang Xuexin replied on the phone: "Head, don't we still have rockets that are useless?"

As soon as Li Yunlong heard this, he laughed "hehe": "We are thinking of going together. I just said whether I want to beat the mother. The political commissar asked me to ask you, saying that I was worried that you still have the rockets." Arrangement! I'm relieved when you say that!"

Therefore, Li Yunlong actually knows how to fight this battle. After all, those who have fought for so many years can't be the leader of the regiment without two hands.

Soon, there was a whistling sound of "whoosh" in the sky, and hundreds of rockets slammed into the position of the Devil Cavalry Regiment, and then there were shouts of killing everywhere. The main defense division of the Eighth Route Army did not wait for the devils. Prepare to counterattack.

The devil was immediately dumbfounded.

It was not because of the bombing, but because of the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army.

A regiment faced a division of the Eighth Route Army, and instead of retreating, the Eighth Route Army launched a counterattack?

what's the situation?
However, the Eighth Route Army at this time did have the ability to launch a counterattack, even without the artillery preparations of rocket launchers.

In the previous Eighth Route Army, even if it was the main division, the equipment rate of guns was only more than half, and many of them were overused guns and the ammunition was seriously insufficient. This combat effectiveness cannot be calculated by the number of people.

But now, after obtaining a large number of guns and ammunition, the equipment rate of the main division has reached 100%, and each person has fifty rounds of ammunition... Although it has not yet reached the devil's ammunition rate, it is already a qualitative leap.

In this case, the main division is not the same.

If you still use old eyes to compare combat power, it means that the devils seriously misjudged and will lose the battle.
