Chapter 972 Refueling Tactics
Objectively speaking, Kono Shinta's air-ground coordination tactic is no problem.

The Eighth Route Army's defense at Wangxing Airport is very weak...a main regiment has more than 700 troops. Because there is no danger to defend, they can only build field fortifications around Wangxing Airport. There is basically no defense and no way to retreat.

This can be said to be a taboo for infantry against enemy mechanized troops.

No defense in depth means that it can only be hard-topped and cannot carry out flexible operations that alternate offense and defense.

Forming a circle of defense means that once the enemy breaks through a hole and breaks into the encirclement, they can rush directly to the back of the other line of defense, so the entire circular defense will soon collapse across the board.

But Wang Xuexin had nothing to do about it, because Wangxing Airport had only this terrain and only so many troops, so he could only plan to retreat to the airport's underground fortifications if he couldn't defend from the outside.

Therefore, mechanized troops like devils plus airborne paratroopers with engineering background are targeted operations: mechanized troops can be used to attack the Eighth Route Army's defense line. The fortifications are blasted, excavated and then attacked.

Who would have thought that the time inconsistency of the devil's air-to-ground coordination directly led to the almost complete annihilation of the paratroopers before the ground troops arrived. The moment it landed, it was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and the radio station was seized as a spoil of war for the Eighth Route Army.

The captain of the Fifth Air Advance Battalion was named Tanimoto Yuki, who was well-known among the paratroopers.

This is not because he has any achievements, but because during a training session, one of his subordinates fell from a high altitude and fell into pieces because the parachute failed to open. back.

The devil's troops often appreciate this kind of crazy and almost dehumanized so-called bravery, so he became the captain of the fifth air advance brigade.

This was Yuu Tanimoto's first actual combat, and it was also his last.

When Tanimoto Yuyi was still hanging on the parachute rope, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army rushed right below him. Because they didn't see the rank clearly, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army simply raised their guns and shot him dead in mid-air.

Or you can't say "killed", because Tanimoto Yuyi was only injured at the time.

But the injury on the paracord was fatal, because at the moment of landing, he couldn't make the normal landing to relieve gravity.

So he actually fell to his death.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army realized that it was a lieutenant commander when they saw the military rank on the corpse's uniform, so they could only secretly murmur, "It's a pity, I should have caught him alive and brought him back for interrogation!"

But it was too late at this time, and he could only search for all the documents and items he was carrying as much as possible and leave.

And this helped Endo Shino a big favor.

Because the commander of the fifth air advance team was killed immediately, the whole army was beaten to blood before they knew the situation, and the radio station was seized by the Eighth Route Army and could not contact their superiors, so Kono Shinta had no idea what happened what's up.

Endo Shino knew in his heart that he had caused a catastrophe: because he underestimated the guerrillas and wasted time, which directly caused the entire paratrooper brigade to land early and the entire army was wiped out... If this mistake is held accountable, seppuku suicide is not an excuse. Pass.

While Shino Endo was sweating secretly, he received a telegram from Shinta Kono: "How is the battle going?"

Shino Endo was taken aback for a moment, Shinta Kono would ask such a question, indicating that he had no idea that the paratroopers had finished.

Why is this so?
Then Shino Endo understood that the paratroopers were defeated so quickly and suddenly that the paratroopers didn't have time to send the news!
Endo Shino breathed a sigh of relief when he came, and called back: "The battle was fierce. The Eighth Route Army seemed to be prepared, and the enemy also organized a quick-reaction force. The paratroopers suffered heavy losses before they could gather!"

Kono Shinta didn't know the truth at the headquarters, so he just frowned and cursed: "Asshole, the Eighth Route Army actually has a quick-response force. Do they know that our army will use paratroopers to parachute?"

In fact, Wang Xuexin really didn't know, and didn't expect it.

Because he has always believed that the devil's paratroopers were so collapsed that they were called "the shame of the empire", so he did not consider the paratroopers as a possibility of combat at all.

However, sometimes the troops whose combat effectiveness has been weakened can still play unexpected roles at the right time.

only……

The Devil's fifth air advance team was unlucky, and now they have earned the title of "Shame of the Empire".

The next battle will not be easy.

Wangxing Airport was under strong pressure from the devil's attack.

The devils fought a decent "blitzkrieg", at least in the coordination of air, tank and infantry. If the paratroopers had no problems, the battle would have been more beautiful.

From Wang Xuexin's point of view, the devils used bombers to bombard the Eighth Route Army's defense line indiscriminately as soon as they started fighting, and then tanks covered the infantry to attack the Eighth Route Army's defense line.

The devil's attack is very clever, they are not divided into four groups to attack from four directions at the same time.

Instead, only one small team and a few tanks were left in the other four directions to contain the Eighth Route Army with firepower, and then concentrated the main force to attack one direction.

This is to concentrate and disperse.

At present, the Eighth Route Army has more troops than the Devils: a regiment of the Eighth Route Army has more than 700 people, while the Devils have only two squadrons with more than 400 people.

But the Eighth Route Army's more than 700 people had to defend on four sides, so there were only more than 400 people on each side.

In fact, the Eighth Route Army's defensive force on each side did not have more than 400 people, only more than 100 people.

This is Wang Xuexin's decision.

He said to Tang Liangjun, the commander of the 208th regiment in charge of defense: "Regiment commander, it is foreseeable that our army's firepower is much weaker than that of the devils, and our army has no danger to defend. The only thing that can be honored is the underground fortification..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Liangjun nodded and replied: "Understood, deploy a small number of troops on the defense line, the main force will preserve its strength in underground fortifications, and waste time with the devils with refueling tactics!"

Wang Xuexin nodded, talking to smart people is such a hassle.

If this tactic is not used, the devil will almost collapse after just one round of bombing.

At this time, the devils concentrated most of their forces to attack one side, and their forces were several times that of the Eighth Route Army's defenders.

The gap in equipment is even greater: the devils have planes and tanks, while the Eighth Route Army only has rifles, [-] small guns and rocket launchers.

For a while, the Eighth Route Army was so overwhelmed by the devil's firepower that they couldn't lift their heads up, and the devil's tanks also rushed towards the defense line with the infantry "cracking"...
