Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 971 Paratroopers
In the era of the Eighth Route Army, although the equipment was poor and the training was seriously insufficient, they couldn't even eat enough.

But there is nothing to say about the subjective initiative and dedication of the soldiers and civilians.

Just like now, Guo Lian and his guerrillas can completely withdraw with the villagers. No one will say that they are cowardly and cowardly. After all, their task is to protect the villagers, not to block dozens of people with 50 people. Enemy twice as big as oneself.

There is no order in it, and they can't even determine whether the airport is ready.

But Guo Lian and his team members still chose to stay and stop the enemy to buy time for the airport.

Endo Shino was taken aback by the sudden gunshots. He thought he was being blocked by the Eighth Route Army... The reconnaissance team obviously didn't detect anything, so why did a team appear suddenly?

At this time, the Devils engineers were building a pontoon bridge, and the road was not yet clear, but the engineers who were busy on the pontoon bridge were shot dead by the guerrillas one by one and fell into the river and were washed away by the current.

Endo Shino immediately ordered the troops to launch an assault towards the opposite bank... He let the troops swim with armed forces and used the pontoon bridge as an assault boat to attack. In addition, he ordered the reconnaissance troops that had already advanced to return to flank the enemy immediately through the radio, and even tanks and fighter planes joined in. battle group.

The fierce battle lasted for more than half an hour. In the end, Guo Lian and his 51 team members all died heroically, and no one retreated until they died.

Although this half an hour has no time significance for Wangxing Airport, because Wangxing Airport has long been prepared for the devil's attack, and it doesn't make much difference if it is earlier or later.

However, Guo Lian's blocking inadvertently disrupted the coordination of the devils and made Wangxing Airport escape unharmed.

The reason is that after a few minutes of fighting, Endo Shino discovered that there were only a few dozen guerrillas with poor equipment on the other side of the river.

Out of underestimation of the enemy, Endo Shino believed that his troops could quickly resolve the battle, so there was no need to report to his superiors to change the original plan.

This caused a 10-minute dislocation in the coordination between the Devil's aviation and ground forces, and it is precisely this 10-minute dislocation that can be said to be crucial and even directly affect the outcome of the battle.

The reason is that the devils also dispatched paratroopers in order to successfully capture Wangxing Airport, and there were more than [-] paratroopers in a paratrooper brigade.

At that time, Wang Xuexin didn't know what was going on. He was still looking at the map and calculating how long it would take for the devils to arrive at Wangxing Airport. Paratroopers parachute over our army!"

"What?" Wang Xuexin was puzzled for a while.

The devil's ground troops will arrive at Wangxing Airport in about 10 minutes. Why did they airborne at this time?
Isn't it good to airborne after the ground troops arrive or launch an attack?
At that time, won't we be able to attack the airport from both sides or even attack the airport with internal and external cooperation?

Because there will inevitably be some paratroopers who just jumped into the airport, that is, the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, which will inevitably cause chaos in the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, they were airborne, and they were still airborne directly on top of the Eighth Route Army... Isn't that courting death?
Wang Xuexin couldn't understand the reason for this, but he knew that this was an opportunity, and immediately ordered: "Order the troops, gather all cavalry, backpacks, and cars, and set off immediately to hunt down the enemy paratroopers!"

"Yes!"

So the airport moved immediately.

Because it is an airport, there are quite a lot of vehicles, horses, and cars. 23 vehicles plus 55 vehicles, and [-] horses are used to pull goods. At this time, they were immediately released and used as a war horse organization. Raise a cavalry.

The next battle was interesting. The Eighth Route Army attacked everywhere, saw the devils descending from the sky from a distance, estimated the position and rushed over immediately, and then wiped out half of the devils before they landed, and wiped out half of them after landing. All that's left is a suicide attack.

At the beginning, Wang Xuexin thought it was caused by the collapse of the devil's paratroopers.

Because Wang Xuexin had heard of devil paratroopers in modern times...

The overall quality of the devils is good. The three armies of the sea, land and air have their own advantages, but the only thing is that the airborne troops are useless. The only title they won in World War II was "Shame of the Empire".

The main reason is that the devil's overall tactical thinking is rigid. They think that airborne soldiers are infantry who can parachute. Except for the parachuting action, other training should be the same as infantry, including combat tactics.

Therefore, the equipment of the paratroopers is basically the same as that of the infantry. They are still long rifles like the [-] Dagai, and they also carry military stabs and even samurai swords.

And these things themselves are often fatal to airborne troops...

What if I parachute with a rifle about 1.3 meters on my back, what if I get entangled in the paracord?
What if the rifle hits the ground and hits itself when it lands?
What if the samurai sword hanging on the waist hits the body?
But of course, these issues are completely ignored by devils. Anyone who thinks about them is a coward or a coward.

More serious is not these.

The devils also let the paratroopers conduct stabbing training, and also use infantry tactics to fight, that is, to launch a strong attack on the enemy. The usual methods are interspersed and surrounded, and they emphasize fighting the enemy to the death...

Airborne troops are special forces with various skills. They should be airborne to the enemy's key points to carry out special operations, such as airborne to a certain artillery position, a certain bridge, a certain command post, etc. behind the enemy, and then suddenly launch an attack quickly Hit quick retreat.

If the devils use the paratroopers as infantry, they are doomed to fail.

However, Wang Xuexin did not expect that the fifth air advance brigade sent by the devils this time is quite reliable.

Because this aerial advance team was selected and trained by Shinta Kono.

The predecessor of this unit was an engineering unit.

The reason why it is an engineering unit is because its main task is to blast Wangxing Airport...

Shinta Kono did his homework before the war and knew that Wangxing Airport had many underground fortifications and underground warehouses.

And these underground fortifications and underground warehouses are difficult for ordinary infantry, so professional engineers are needed.

The Fifth Air Advance Brigade was born just like that, and they even brought enough explosives.

There are mainly two types of these explosives, one is a high explosive similar to a blasting cylinder, which is used to blast open a warehouse.The other is a lead heavy explosive hanging on both ends of the rope... This explosive is said to be used to throw it on the plane and hang it to blow up the plane.

Wang Xuexin didn't know if their equipment was really useful.

because……

The devils of these paratroopers and processing soldiers, before they had time to play a role, the entire army was almost wiped out.

Ten minutes later, Endo Shino's ground troops arrived, but by then it was too late.
