All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 177, tank assault counterattack

The tank was destroyed and turned into a living coffin, and the people inside had nowhere to escape.

The truck was burning, and the kid in the truck who survived the intensive shooting could be said to have just escaped from purgatory.

Under the dense bullets from the positions on both wings, they were so suppressed that they couldn't breathe.

so on.

Death will be their only destination.

"Okay, good fight!"

Leader Cheng put down his binoculars, and said to the people beside him with great excitement: "Our ambush is finished, the first-class regiment with tanks is no match, and the [-]nd Regiment is about to become famous."

A combat staff officer at the regiment headquarters boasted:

"It's better to command the regiment leader. He chose the right terrain for the ambush, and the timing is just right. This is the basis for our regiment's victory."

Now they have taken advantage of the battle, and victory is in sight.The heavy pressure on his shoulders before was gone by this blow.

Everyone is very happy, and they are generally optimistic about the situation of the battle.

The political commissar of the regiment cleared his throat, drew everyone's attention, and suggested: "The ambush was successful. The headquarters has been waiting for our news. I think we should pass the good news back immediately."

The proposal was immediately unanimously approved.

Leader Cheng couldn't close his mouth, and his tone was urging: "The political commissar is right, hurry up and send a telegram to the headquarters to inform you of the good news."

In recent months, the independent regiment has repeatedly won battles and set new records, boosting its prestige.

When it comes to the [-]th Brigade, whether it is an enemy, friendly army or ordinary people, the first thing that comes to mind is the Independent Regiment.

Damn, when the [-]th Brigade had my [-]nd Regiment, Li Yunlong's independent regiment didn't even exist on paper!

Whether the scholars can bear it or not, we want to show our prestige, so that when people mention the [-]nd regiment, they have to give a thumbs up and praise it.

Leader Cheng has always been unwilling to be let down by others, and the veteran main team must have the arrogance of the old main team.

The cadres of the [-]nd Regiment were similar to what their regiment leader thought, and they were all holding back their energy.

This battle of ambush and blocking was beautiful, who can underestimate their [-] regiment?

At that time, I will ask the head of the headquarters for equipment, and replace the weapons of the whole regiment with unified state-of-the-art models.

……

Caught off guard by the initial surprise attack, the surviving Japanese soldiers in the encirclement got off the truck and searched for shelter on the spot.

The night is actually the best cover.

The dense bullets whizzed and swished above the head, if the recruits were afraid, they would be scared to pee.

However, the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army was able to win the title of a powerful force among the original seventeen standing divisions.

These devils also showed the qualities that elites should have.

"Baga, don't panic, fight back on the spot with me at the center."

The leader of the Devils Division waved the [-] cover with the plaster flag on it, just like waving a flag, directing the surrounding subordinates to gather towards him.

Beside him, relying on the hazy moonlight and the firelight on the truck, the surviving devils also approached the squad leader after seeing the plaster flag.

Once the small teams gather together, they will no longer be scattered.

Everyone has a different division of labor, and they carry out counter-fire suppression in an organized and orderly manner.

"Light and heavy machine guns, don't be stingy with bullets and suppress fire immediately."

"Grenade launcher, suppress and destroy that heavy machine gun position!"

"The second team covers the left flank, and the fifth team returns to the front position."

The complete command system of the Japanese army began to play a role.

Especially their grassroots officers are veterans who have experienced many battles.

Through a series of commands, each of them performed their duties, quickly corrected the chaos of the troops, gained a firm foothold on the spot, and was still trying to counterattack.

Even ordinary soldiers showed their elite side.

Not frightened by the sudden blow casualties, calm down, those skills trained to the bone, the use of conditioned reflexes.

Find a suitable cover, pull the bolt to load the bullet, raise the gun with both hands to aim, and pull the trigger to shoot the bullet.

Although the [-] big caps in their hands could only be shot single-shot, their superb marksmanship made up for the deficiency, and the bullets all hit head-on.

Many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were terrified by the bullets flying towards their scalps, so they could only reduce the frequency of firing out of their heads to avoid being headshot by attracting firepower.

The light and heavy machine guns that kept firing were born with a mocking face, and it was inevitable to attract firepower.

The shooter who operates the machine gun is taken care of, and hiding behind the protective steel plate of the heavy machine gun cannot be avoided.

The bullet was shot in through the small aiming hole. You must know that this is a dark day and there is no good vision.

The heavy machine gun shooter was unlucky enough to be killed, so he could only be replaced by the deputy shooter.

It can be seen that the Japanese army still has many sharpshooters.

It's just that the [-]nd Regiment, the Japanese opponent's face-to-face opponent, is not a newly formed local regiment. The soldiers are not in the slightest in terms of fighting skills or will.

The weapons in their hands are even better than the Japanese army.

A small casualty can't shake the soldiers' fighting will at all.

Occupying the superior terrain, they also made a first move. If the Japanese army only had this ability, they would not be able to make any waves.

Outside the ambush circle.

Tokutaro Tokutaro, the head of the infantry brigade, took a telescope and looked carefully at the eight-way position that was glowing with fire.

The moment the gun fires the smokeless gunpowder and ejects the bullet, a short flame will appear from the muzzle of the gun.

The light and heavy machine guns fired continuously, the muzzle of the gun flickered like a large firefly.

On both sides of the road ahead, flames flickered in the darkness.It's like many fireflies dancing.

"I didn't believe that the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment were better than ours before, but now I believe it. If this continues, the troops surrounded on the ambush road will suffer heavy losses."

Tokutaro Juni said in a heavy tone.

He's in a bad mood, and there's nothing worse than being ambushed and having a bad day.

If there is, it is to find that the strength in one's own hands is not enough to turn the tables and retaliate for the losses suffered.

Breakthrough all methods.

The same is true in war. As long as one's own side is strong enough, the opponent's schemes will hardly be of great use.

The Japanese army used to fight without thinking, and they were not afraid of being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.

It is because the weapons of the Eighth Route Army are inferior, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with them at all.

Now, when the combat effectiveness of the enemy and us is almost the same, whoever occupies the favorable terrain must have a greater chance of winning.

It is not difficult to understand that Tokutaro Shii was depressed when he was transferred to North China in the first battle.

Fortunately, there are also chariot troops who came together this time.

He said to Ryuji Shinagawa beside him: "Now we need to open up the situation, and we need the help of your chariot troops."

"Tell me your opinion first." Shinagawa Ryuji said.

The chariot regiment advancing together, the Eighth Route destroyed more than 20 vehicles, and the loss was as high as one-third.

In the previous battles with the Central Army, they could not lose that much in one day, and now the battle is less than 10 minutes.

His heart is also on fire!

It's just that he knows that anger can't solve the problem, and only by calm thinking can he turn things around.

"The eight-way strategy is an obvious pocket formation, with heavy troops divided into two, occupying both sides of the road.

If you are in it and attack one side, you will expose your back to the other side, which will cause great losses and difficult results.

Fortunately, less than half of our troops have entered the ambush circle, and half of our mobile forces can choose an enemy to attack in real time. "

Tokutaro Juni pointed to the right side of the road: "The terrain over there is relatively flat, which is suitable for tanks. Let my soldiers cooperate with your tanks to carry out coordinated assaults by infantry and tanks.

As long as the enemy on this side is defeated, the enemy on the other side is nothing to worry about. "

Shinagawa Ryuuji admired the vision of this experienced colleague, the terrain on the right was indeed suitable for chariot assault.

But he has a different view on the implementation of specific tactics.

After all, the commanding infantry has no experience, and can only use the old infantry and tank coordination. After the German armored assault was implemented, that tactic has completely fallen behind.

Shinagawa Ryuji shook his head and said, "Jijing Tok-kun, haven't you noticed that the Eighth Route Army has a weapon called a rocket launcher?"

The rocket launcher is one of the new heavy weapons owned by the Eighth Route Army. How could Tokutaro Shijing not know about it?
What's more, in the battle just now, he saw many tanks destroyed by that kind of weapon.

"What do you mean?"

Tokutaro Juni was a little puzzled, his eyes full of suspicion.

He was afraid that the opponent would worry about the loss of too many chariots, so he refused to send chariots to cooperate.

Shinagawa Ryuji explained lightly: "Let our chariots attack alone.

Attack alone does not need to slow down to cover the infantry, the tank is fast, and the eight-way rocket launcher is not easy to hit.

Moreover, my chariot troop accelerates and can detour to the back of the eighth road to launch an assault.The enemy is unprepared, so the effect of surprise attack will be better. "

Tokutaro Tokutaro was very experienced. After simulating the situation in his mind for a while, he had to admit that the opponent's tactics were correct.

If you still use the old-fashioned infantry-tank coordination, the tank will reduce its speed, and it is very likely to become the target of the opponent's rocket launcher.

The infantry behind the tank may not be able to get the good protection they deserve.

This tactic is actually not bad against the Jinsui Army of the Central Army without anti-tank weapons, as well as the former Eighth Route Army.

But the enemy's situation has changed now, and their tactics should also change.

Tokutaro Juni could only bow down and let the infantry attack on the flanks to cover the actions of the chariot troops.

This way of making the infantry the supporting role and the chariot the leading role is not something that every infantry brigade commander has the heart to do.

There were still many soldiers suffering from the ambush from the Eight Routes. The two reached an agreement after discussion, and the order was issued quickly.

The whole operation unfolded at a very fast pace.

Except for a few tanks that acted as turrets outside the attack range of the rocket launcher, attracting the attention of the Eighth Route Army.

The entire teaching tank brigade, the surviving 35 tanks of the first tank regiment under its jurisdiction, drove off the road one after another, and drove into the wild to make a detour.

The Maginot Line, which cost France a lot of military expenditure, was turned from the side by German tanks, and it became a useless display.

The [-]nd Regiment was used to prevent the enemy outside the pocket formation from sabotaging the plan, and also deployed a line of defense to cover the flanks of the ambush troops.

Although this front was attacked by the Japanese army, it attracted some troops.

But when the Japanese tank troops made a big detour in circles, the value of this defensive position had already been cut in half.

The roar of the tank overwhelmed the sound of the guns on the battlefield, and by the time the soldiers of the [-]nd Regiment discovered it, it was already too late.

The torrent of steel rushed directly to the position, and the tank guns fired shells non-stop, destroying the heavy machine gun position.

One shell smashed the Type [-] heavy machine gun into rotten iron, and the entire machine gun team was not spared.

The [-]mm caliber heavy machine gun mounted on the vehicle sprayed flames uninterruptedly, massacring Eighth Route Army soldiers indiscriminately.

"Bazooka, shoot me! Beat these son-of-a-bitch tanks into living coffins!"

"Company commander, all the bazookas of our company have been destroyed, and the only solution is cluster grenades."

"Give me the cluster grenade. If I can't come back, you can act as the company commander for me and lead the soldiers to fight."

The company commander, who snatched the cluster grenade, rushed out with a bow.

To lose ground is to lose the battle.

So many brothers in the whole company died under the enemy's machine guns. Anger and bloody courage filled the company commander's mind, and he rushed forward like a madman.

"Company commander, be careful!"

There were too many Japanese tanks rushing to the position, covering each other.

On the left rear side of a Type [-] medium tank, the machine gunner on board found the company commander holding a cluster grenade, and pulling the trigger fired a burst.

The machine gun spewed flames, two bullets pierced the company commander's abdomen in an instant, and one bullet broke his left elbow.

He fell down in darkness.

"Captain!"

The soldiers behind screamed heart-piercingly, seeing familiar people being killed by enemy bullets with their own eyes, even seeing people who are used to life and death, it was hard to accept for a while.

A voice appeared on the walkie-talkie in the deputy company commander's hand: "The regiment commander has an order to destroy the attack of the lagging enemy tanks as much as possible, and each unit will alternately cover the retreat according to the actual situation."

This is obviously an order issued by the regiment headquarters.

At this time, the eastern position was hit by a large number of Japanese tanks, and the entire position was in chaos.

The regiment headquarters can only see the general situation clearly and make overall decisions, but they cannot issue detailed combat orders down to the company level.

It can only be handed over to the cadres at the grassroots level.

"Blow up the weapons that can't be taken away, and the troops move closer to the north to join the Eighth Company."

The deputy company commander took over the command and gave the order.

It's just that the soldiers around him seemed not to have heard it, and pointed to the distance not far away in surprise: "Company commander, the company commander is still alive."

The deputy company commander turned his head and looked over, and saw that the company commander who had just been hit by the bullet was climbing tenaciously, and approached the Japanese tank little by little under the cover of night.

The fuse of the cluster grenade was pulled, and with the roar of an explosion, the tank was enveloped in flames and black smoke.

"It worked, the company commander did it."

The soldiers shouted excitedly.

With tears in his eyes, the deputy company commander prevented the destruction of a tank. The price he paid was that the company commander died with him.

Damn it, if they had a few more bazookas in a row, there would be no need to work so hard!

What's more, destroying one more tank can't restore the situation where the position was captured by the Japanese army.
