Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 507 Street Fighting
The 37th Mountain Artillery Regiment of the Devils was wiped out. Except for a few teams that escaped from the gap in the encirclement, most of the troops lay on the artillery positions they built themselves.

The leader of the regiment, Taketaro, originally hoped to stay on the battlefield "to be loyal", but his subordinates put him in a car and fled with the rout.

It is said that when the soldiers of the main division rushed to the front of the tank defense line, they were all stunned to see the corpses of devils in front of the position... There has never been such a battle in the history of the Eighth Route Army. The strength of the army knocked down four or five times the number of devils on the ground.

The news quickly spread to Yuncheng, so Wang Xuexin knew that the battle was settled.

The Eighth Route Army had the upper hand in the battle in Yuncheng from the very beginning.

The reason is still that the Eighth Route Army has tanks in its hands.

From a modern point of view, it seems that tanks are not suitable for street fighting, but this "unsuitability" is conditional.

If the devils also have bazookas in their hands, then the streets and alleys of the city can almost be said to be a tank cemetery.

Because the bazooka shooter can hide in any corner, roof, broken wall, or even behind a window, and when the tank approaches, he suddenly leans out and shoots at the tank... This tactic can be said to be hard to defend, even in modern times. The only solution is to demolish all the houses along the way.

But now the devil does not have a bazooka in his hand.

Not to mention the bazooka, they didn't have any direct-firing artillery to pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army, so they could only rush out of the house suddenly with explosive packs and cluster grenades hoping to blow up the tank.

This primitive tactic may be effective for stubborn troops who don't know infantry and tank coordination, but it has no effect on the Eighth Route Army tank battalion that has already been trained in this area.

The soldiers followed the tanks all the way forward, using Springfield rifles to deal with long-distance targets, submachine guns to hit close-up targets, and knocked down the devils who rushed up one by one on the way.

Then, every time the tank moved forward, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army would occupy the houses on both sides of the street and empty the houses of the enemies.

This step is the most dangerous, because the devils hiding inside are always prepared to die together. Therefore, when the troops advance forward, there will be violent explosions in the house from time to time, and sometimes the whole house will collapse.

By the time the news of the victory of the T34 tank company reached Wang Xuexin, the Eighth Route Army had already compressed the devils to South Street... The street names in Yuncheng are simple and straightforward. South Street.

The tanks poured in from the small north gate in the north, so the Eighth Route Army fought from north to south. The North Street has been completely liberated, and the West Street and East Street have been partially liberated. Wang Xuexin is trying to divide and encircle the devils with tanks.

This tactic is actually very simple. The devils rely on houses and buildings on both sides of the street to build firepower points, which once made the Eighth Route Army's progress slow.

Wang Xuexin did not take the usual path... If this is a house-by-house fight with the devils, how long will it last?How many fighters and even tanks to sacrifice.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin directly let the tank hit the side wall of the house, hit a big hole in the side wall with a "bulge", and followed the infantry without saying a word, pulling the grenade and throwing it in...Anyway, the tank is not afraid of grenades, and it can It is the devil who gets hurt.

As soon as the grenade exploded, the soldiers rushed in with their guns in hand, killing the devils hiding inside with three strikes.

This way of fighting has an advantage: you can fight wherever you want, and there is basically no place you can't beat.

As a result, the tank troops quickly took the initiative. They could plan to cut through the residential areas and cut the devils into pieces that could not be contacted with each other before eating them.

Wang Xuexin personally went into battle and led a group of troops straight into Old North Street... Old North Street is only a few tens of meters long, but this short street connects four main streets, east, west, north, south, and can be said to be an important transportation hub.

Just as Wang Xuexin led soldiers into the house braving dust and gunpowder smoke to clear out the remaining devils, Mao Duzi sent the information to Wang Xuexin.

"Report to the Battalion Commander!" Mao Duzi reported out of breath, "The Sixth Tank Company won an overall victory. They defeated the Devils Tank Regiment, and at the same time cooperated with the main force to completely wipe out the Mountain Artillery Regiment!"

The soldiers shouted after hearing this, which is great news for Yuncheng, because it means that the devils in Yuncheng have lost foreign aid, and it almost determines the fate of Yuncheng.

Wang Xuexin thought for a while, and then ordered: "Call the enemy Ministry of Industry!"

It didn't take long for Li Dachui to come up, and the enemy's engineering department is still under his control, but Wang Xuexin, who was a small soldier in the enemy's engineering department, has now become the battalion commander, and he is also the commander of the tank battalion.

As soon as Li Dachui came up, he stood up and reported: "Battle Commander, Li Dachui from the enemy's engineering department is reporting!"

Wang Xuexin sighed a little when he saw the old squad leader. He heard that he was injured in the battle before. Wang Xuexin always wanted to go to the hospital to see him but he was never free. Now he is back.

But this is not the time to reminisce about the old days. Wang Xuexin raised his head to the front window and asked, "Have you brought the trumpet? Go and shout, saying that the devil's reinforcements have been defeated by us. Let the devil surrender. We Guarantee their safety! Otherwise, shoot to kill!"

"Yes!" Li Dachui answered and went up with a small speaker that could speak devilish words.

It is needless to say that the devil was shocked by this call.

A large part of the reason why the Devil's Ninth Brigade has been able to hold on until now is the hope that they can wait until the reinforcements turn defeat into victory.

but now……

The reinforcements were actually repelled by the Eighth Route Army!

Is there any hope for sticking to Yuncheng?
Should I choose to break through?

Otherwise, does it mean waiting to die here?
What was even more surprising was Kenkichi Ikegami, head of the Ninth Brigade, because he didn't know the news that the reinforcements had been defeated.

Chi Shangxianji couldn't believe it was true. He even thought it was a fake news released by the Eighth Route Army in order to destroy the will of the Ninth Brigade.

However, when he contacted Anda 23, the frontline commander, by radio, he realized that this was indeed the case.

"Our Ministry just received the news!" Anda 23 called back: "The Eighth Route Army's new tanks prevented our reinforcements from going to the rescue! But please rest assured, Mr. Chishang, we will send another team of reinforcements soon, please be sure to stick to it, Mr. Chishang!"

Chi Shangxianji threw the telegram on the ground weakly.

It was ironic that Chishang actually needed news of reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, he also understood that there would be no reinforcements in a short time.

The imperial army's strength in this area is not sufficient. More importantly, if the Eighth Route Army has a new type of tank that can defeat the reinforcements composed of three regiments...then the reinforcements organized randomly will probably suffer the same fate.
