Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 839 Timing
Twenty tanks attacked the enemy's position again under the cover of infantry.

However, to be honest, the role of tanks in this situation is very limited.

First of all, tanks do not have the ability to fight at night, and the Eighth Route Army does not have many flares. Tanks are almost blind in the dark, and their more role is to provide infantry with a movable bunker to block bullets.

Secondly, the Eighth Route Army and the Devils are very close at this time... The position is not a straight line, but a curved line, and some positions are even intertwined. For example, the First Battalion did not completely occupy the first line of defense. The counterattack tries to retake the first line of defense.

As a result, there is no clear dividing line between the enemy and our armies, and they are intertwined with each other. It is difficult for even infantry to distinguish between the enemy and ourselves in the dark, let alone the tankers who look out through a small observation hole in the tank.

Since it is impossible to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, it is difficult for the tank to exert its firepower, and it is also difficult for the gunner to locate the target in the dark.

These difficulties are a problem even in modern tank battles, not to mention the T26 that did not have any auxiliary equipment during World War II.

Li Yunlong actually knew this, so he didn't hope that the tank would be able to take down the devil's position. If so, the raid of the reconnaissance company led by the monk would be meaningless.

Li Yunlong is actually fighting a psychological warfare. He is trying to make the enemy commander nervous and focus more attention and troops on the front... Only in this way, his defenseless flank will be weaker.

Yuta Takemura was really fooled.

Among them, the charge number plays a role.

Yuta Takemura, who has been fighting with the Chinese army for a long time, knows that when the Chinese army blows the charge horn, it usually means a general attack, otherwise it is mostly signal flares or even whistles at other times.

At this moment, Yuta Takemura was surprised when he heard the charge and then saw the tank "rumbling" coming up from a distance:
This is the real purpose of the Eighth Route Army to win the first line of defense desperately!
After they took down the first line of defense, the tank trenches were under their control.

With the anti-tank trench in their hands, tanks can easily pass through the anti-tank trench and appear in front of the second line of defense to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to attack!

At that time, under the attack of tanks and infantry, can the imperial army, which has almost no anti-tank equipment, be able to defend?

This can be said to be due to Takemura Yuta's lack of self-confidence, or his lack of experience.

The lack of self-confidence is because the imperial army does not have any decent anti-tank equipment.

Inexperience is because the Chinese army has almost no tanks, which makes Takemura Yuta very unfamiliar with anti-tank although he is a veteran on the battlefield.

People are born to be afraid of their own strange things, and Yuta Takemura is no exception.

In fact, as long as he thought about it in detail, he could understand, what if the Eighth Route Army tanks came up?

Can the Eighth Route Army coordinate effectively?
Can tanks take advantage of their firepower?
The big deal is to lead the troops to launch a counterattack and fight with the enemy, and the tank will be even more unable to distinguish the enemy from ourselves. At that time, the tank will not only be unable to play a role, but will become a spoil of war for the imperial army.

However, Yuta Takemura was in a mess at this time, and he took it for granted that the enemy's "conspiracy" cannot be allowed to succeed, that is, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army cannot be allowed to pass through the anti-tank trenches smoothly, otherwise everything will be over.

So Takemura Yuta drew his command sword and ordered: "Everyone, bayonet!"

After waiting for a few seconds, Yuta Takemura pointed his sword at the void and roared ferociously, "Attack!"

With a loud cry, the devil jumped out of the trench with his bayonet in hand and launched a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, this cannot be said to be Yuta Takemura's command error, at least it is correct to do so from the conditions and conditions he knows.

The devils have more troops than the Eighth Route Army: on the front of the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army has only one battalion, and when they attack, they lose part of the battalion under the viciousness and enemy firepower. After a full fight, there are more than 800 people, but the devils still have more than 1000 people.

The quality of the devils is better than that of the Eighth Route Army: Although the quality of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment is not weak, the devils of the Zhucun Brigade are veterans who have been trained and fed with bullets on the battlefield, especially the close-quarters stabbing skills. , It's not a big problem to spell three in one.

Based on such a calculation, there is no doubt that the Zhucun Brigade's counterattack regained the first line of defense and it would not take much time.

After regaining the first line of defense, the Zhucun brigade can organize firepower to stop the tanks in front of the tank defense trenches again. If they can still hit a few gas bombs, they can perfectly push the Eighth Route Army back again and end the battle.

All these estimates are correct, and the fault lies with Takemura Yuta. He didn't expect that at this time, a surprise soldier was already lying on the flank of the Takemura brigade, waiting for them to counterattack.

Monk's reconnaissance company has actually been here for a while.

With the monk's impatient temper, he wanted to go into battle immediately, but Shi Sha stopped the monk's impulsive behavior when he saw the situation on the battlefield.

"Company commander!" Shi Sha said, "Let's wait!"

The monk whispered angrily: "What are you waiting for, can't people who don't see us rush up? Take this opportunity to give the devil a shot..."

At this time, when the first battalion was attacking the second line of defense, the monk watched the groups of soldiers fall under the firepower of the devils and felt anxious.

Shi Sha analyzed: "Company commander, the devils fought very methodically, and their flanks were also prepared. In addition, they still have an advantage in strength. I'm afraid they can't cause much trouble if they rush up now!"

The monk raised his binoculars and found that the situation was really as Shi Sha said, and the devils also deployed troops on the flanks of the high ground.

However, the monk was still a little impatient, and he asked: "Then we can't continue to wait like this? Waiting like this is not an option!"

Shi Sha replied: "The leader should make arrangements!"

In this regard, Shisha's consideration is correct.

Li Yunlong is the head of the regiment and a commander who considers the overall situation. He has worked so hard to transfer the reconnaissance company to the devil's flank.

Sure enough, soon the charge sounded on the frontal battlefield, and the Eighth Route Army dispatched tanks to successfully lure the devils out to launch a counterattack against the first line of defense.

It's good if the devils don't counterattack. Once they counterattack, the flanks are completely exposed to the reconnaissance company.

The monk stopped hesitating at this moment, and he knew what to do without Shi Sha telling him what to do. He waved the box cannon in his hand and shouted loudly: "Comrades, go!"

"Come on!" The soldiers of the reconnaissance company rushed up like a tiger with an engineering shovel in one hand and a box cannon in the other.

This is the characteristic of the reconnaissance company... They don't use bayonets in hand-to-hand combat, but use engineer shovels as shields and box cannons as knives, and they are all [-]-gun box cannons. Many squad leaders have two.
