Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 632 Street Fighting
Tomoe Haraguchi's actions were considered fast, and he immediately ordered the communication soldier: "Call everyone, and prepare to fight!"

After hearing the order, the chariot soldiers got up in groups of three or four and got into the chariots to prepare for battle.

However, although the action was fast, Haraguchi Chie's head was full of paste:
Isn't there two lines of defense outside the city?

How did the enemy chariot hit the city?
Could it be that the two lines of defense outside the city have been breached?
How many enemies have come?
How many chariots are there?
What models are they?
……

All of these are unknowns, because Haraguchi Chie doesn't know how to direct.

After thinking about it, he could only assume that the T34 of the Eighth Route Army had entered the city, and only T34 had the ability to break through the two lines of defense and enter the city.

Therefore, Haraguchi Zhie ordered on the radio: "The enemy is probably a T34. Note that the enemy tank is probably a T34... Therefore, we need to get close to the enemy before firing!"

This is clearly a wrong order.

Because the Type 97 has the advantage of defense and armor over the T26, they should have occupied the straight street and pointed the muzzle at a distance, and then asked a few infantry to fire searchlights or flares.

Although tanks don't have much night combat capability, it's another matter knowing that enemy tanks will appear from narrow streets and meet them head-on...

In this way, a dozen Type 97s can easily defend a dozen streets, and it is very difficult for T26s to break through their defenses.

However, Zhijiang Haraguchi thought that the Eighth Route Army was coming from T34, and no one told him that it was T26 who attacked the city.

So the tactics are completely different.

Type 97 has no long-range advantage over T34...

If the Eighth Route Army came with a T34 and the Devil's Type 97 still occupied Zhijie and guarded the street, it would shoot the T34 one by one, but the Type 97 would not be able to penetrate the opponent.

Therefore, under this idea, all the devil's chariots looked for one point, guarding the curved street or the flank of the street, striving to meet the enemy's chariots hand-to-hand.

Zhijiang Yuankou waited for a while, and then received an order to go to the Old North Street to protect the headquarters.

Tomoe Haraguchi did not hesitate, and kept ordering the chariots to reinforce the headquarters in two parts with the squadron as the unit.

There is no problem with Haraguchi's command.

If two squadrons walk on the same road, more than [-] tanks will be crowded on one street. Once the front is destroyed by the enemy, it will easily cause traffic jams.

If you walk in two ways, the probability of getting stuck together is much smaller.

At the same time, Tomoe Haraguchi assumed that the enemy was approaching the headquarters from the south gate. One of his two chariot squadrons intercepted from the front and the other attacked from the side.

At that time, it will be the enemy's side armor, even the T34 will be penetrated by the 97th battle!
Tomoe Haraguchi hoped so, but he didn't have much confidence.

Tomoe Haraguchi imagined it would be beautiful, but the battlefield didn't develop as he hoped.

The third tank company led by Wang Xuexin discovered the enemy tank when it was about 500 meters away from the city center.

Follow the infantry who are the first to spot the tank.

When the tank advances at night, following the infantry is not just "following", but also needs to go out in front of the tank for reconnaissance, such as checking whether there are roadblocks ahead, etc.

When a few infantrymen entered a small street at the intersection, they turned around and shouted: "Tanks, devil tanks are coming up!"

Wang Xuexin hurriedly ordered: "All slow down, find the devil tank! Get ready for battle!"

The second platoon leader hurriedly ordered: "I found the devil tank, prepare armor-piercing bombs!"

But this armor-piercing projectile is temporarily useless.

Because Wang Xuexin caught up to the front and saw that the devil tanks were rushing here along the side street. This street was only seven meters wide, just enough for a tank to pass through.

Without even thinking about it, Wang Xuexin ordered: "Blow up the houses and block the streets!"

The second platoon leader couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard the order, but then he thought it was right, blocking the entrance to these devil tanks would make it impossible for them to get through, let's talk about the situation ahead.

So he hurriedly ordered: "Change the grenade!"

Then only a few "booms" were heard, and several tanks slammed into the corner of the house at the intersection of the street at close range.

It was a three-storey brick house, the quality was quite good, and it was still standing after being hit by a round of shells from a tank with a corner missing.

It wasn't until another round of three shells was fired that it fell towards the gap with a "boom", and the street entrance was blocked tightly by broken bricks and rubble.

Those who were blocked in the side street were the interspersed troops of the devils. They thought that they would soon meet the enemy hand-to-hand, but they didn't expect that "this road is blocked" all of a sudden.

The squadron leader secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because this meant that they did not need to face the frightening T34.

Haraguchi Zhijiang cursed when he heard the news, and then ordered: "Detour immediately to reinforce the headquarters!"

Tomoe Haraguchi did not receive reinforcements from this chariot squadron in the end.

Because these chariots were not familiar with Yuncheng, they were still driving at night without infantry coordination. They circled the street twice and couldn't find their place. In the end, when Yuncheng fell, they still hadn't circled out.

The third tank company was on the way forward, Wang Xuexin thought for a while and added: "There may be enemy tanks ahead, pay attention to anti-tank preparations!"

This reminded the tank crew and prepared them psychologically.

When the second platoon leader heard Wang Xuexin's order, he felt deeply in his heart.

Because tanks usually take the main road, but this devil tank soldier is passing through the side streets, this is probably a detachment outflanking the flank.

If this is a flanking unit, it means there are enemy tanks ahead.

Thinking about it, the second platoon leader couldn't help sighing: "Fortunately, the battalion commander commanded this battle. If the company commander commanded it, he might not have thought of this!"

Sure enough, the battle situation was just as Wang Xuexin guessed. The tank continued to advance for more than 200 meters, and the infantry could faintly hear the roar of the engine on the other side.

"Tank!" shouted the following infantry: "It's located on Old North Street, and they've set up an ambush ahead!"

The so-called ambush refers to the devil tanks defending on both sides of the street.

This is a problem for the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, because street fighting is very unfriendly to tanks. Tanks cannot see the targets at the corners of the flanks. If there are tanks guarding the flanks, the tanks on Dazhi Street will be in a dilemma.

It is definitely impossible to retreat, and at this time, all previous efforts will be wasted.

To be precise, there is no retreat, because the rear is a salt lake.

Moving forward...it seems impossible, because the Devils tanks are guarding around the corner, and as soon as the T26 appears, the Devils' shells will come.

This is a game where whoever advances dies first.

But Wang Xuexin is not worried about this.

Because the Eighth Route Army has an artifact of street warfare... a bazooka.

Wang Xuexin gave an order: "The tanks will stop moving forward, and the bazooka will be on, pay attention to use the house for cover!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded.

More than a dozen bazooka shooters drilled into the house with their bazookas on their backs.
