I am helping

It wasn't long before Li Yunlong, Chen Feng and Xing Zhiguo returned to the regiment headquarters.

The attacking troops of each battalion reported the battle situation to the regiment headquarters, saying that under the cover of Leopard tanks and Satan tanks, they had taken the devil's first position.

Li Yunlong immediately ordered the battalions to continue to attack. In addition, the car battalion must ensure that the ammunition on the front line is sufficient.

Since the main offensive route is to attack along the road, the more than 200 vehicles of the Xinyi Regiment Automobile Battalion continuously sent ammunition, especially artillery shells, to the front line.

So that every time the infantry calls for artillery support, there are shells behind each artillery position.

The firepower of an army is of course important, but the ability to transport and supply logistics is also the top priority.

Boss Chen had already provided dozens of tons of gasoline, including napalm, so this time there was no airdrop of gasoline because it was enough for the time being.

The main battalion of Xinyi Regiment, each battalion has 10 companies under its jurisdiction.

As each company went into battle in turn, under the cover of heavy artillery, Leopard tanks and Satan tanks, they successively conquered the devil's positions.

Heyuan County.

The 10th Division Headquarters.

Chief of Staff Asada Yoshitaka reported to Tanabe Moritake and Ishikawa Erlanghui: "In the direction of Anhua County, the new regiment broke through 4 positions of the locust army, and in the direction of Heyuan county, the new regiment broke through 5 positions of the locust army. One regiment broke through 4 positions of the locust army..."

Listening to Asada Ryoichi's report, Ishikawa Jiro and Tanabe Moritake couldn't help but look at each other.

The Eighth Route Army hadn't attacked for more than 4 hours, and the two old devils felt that the battle was stable.

Unexpectedly, after more than 4 hours after the Xinyi regiment stopped attacking, it was Wang Zha who made a move, and conquered multiple positions in a row within 3 hours.

A position represents a blockhouse or a blockhouse, and some positions even have a cross-fire position composed of two blockhouses or blockhouses. Unexpectedly, 13 positions were breached by the Eighth Route Army so quickly.

"what is the problem?"

"Why did the Eighth Route's offensive ability become so powerful? Why did the tunnel and reverse slope tactics fail?"

Ishikawa Jiro questioned in an exasperated tone.

He knew very well that the firepower of the 10th Division was not as strong as that of the Xinyi Regiment. It was the first time that the tunnel and reverse slope tactics were used, and he did not grasp the essence. In addition, in such a short period of time, the engineering unit could not dig the tunnel very deep.

The new regiment is equipped with heavy tanks and 150mm heavy artillery, and its firepower crushes the 10th division in all aspects.

The Xinyi Regiment could take these positions, but it would take a long time, and they would have to pay huge casualties and consume a lot of ammunition.

After the new regiment paid a huge price in casualties, the other four second-line divisions encircled them, and the five divisions encircled them, and they were able to eat the new regiment in one bite.

Moritake Tanabe, Ningji Okamura, and Jiro Ishikawa all had such calculations.

But Ishikawa Jiro never imagined that the Shinichi regiment would crack the tunnel and reverse slope tactics in such a short period of time?

If the tunnel and reverse slope tactics were so easy to crack, the 10th Division would have entered the base of the new regiment long ago.

At this juncture, the people below reported that the tunnel and reverse slope tactics are no longer working?
Ryoichi Asada reported at the first exchange: "The 8th Brigade and the 33rd Brigade reported that the Eighth Route used a new weapon!"

Moritake Tanabe asked in a deep voice, "What kind of new weapon?"

"A fire-breathing tank!" Ryoichi Asada said, "The Eighth Route Shinichi Regiment is equipped with a fire-breathing tank, which is specially used to deal with the bunkers and gun towers defended by the locust army."

"Even a new regiment of fire-breathing tanks aimed at infantry positions."

"Once this kind of flame infantry is stained, it cannot be extinguished at all. It is very terrifying. There are even phenomena of locust troops surrendering and collectively abandoning their positions on the ground!"

"Nani?" Jiro Ishikawa and Moritake Tanabe couldn't help but look at each other, "Fire tank?"

Both old devils knew that there was such a weapon as a flame-breathing tank.

At the beginning of the Battle of Nuomenkan, the devils were roasted by Soviet flame-breathing tanks, and the devils have been researching this kind of fire-breathing tanks, but up to now, the devils' ordnance experts have not researched anything famous.

Never expected that the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army would be equipped with fire-breathing tanks?
"idiot!"

After Ishikawa Jiro was shocked, he couldn't help cursing, and there were soldiers and deserters who surrendered in the 10th Division.

What a disgrace and intolerable!
Ishikawa Jiro looked at Ryoichi Asada and said: "Mr. Asada, immediately order each regiment to form a supervisory team. Once the soldiers are found to leave the position without authorization, no matter whether it is the locust army or the locust alliance army, they will be killed!"

"Hi!"

Asada Ryoichi turned and left.

Watching the chief of staff leave, Ishikawa Jiro said with a gloomy face: "Tanabe-kun, you have to find a way to deal with the eight-route heavy tanks and flame-breathing tanks!"

In order to deal with the tanks of the new regiment, devil death squads were organized on each position, and each death squad was covered with explosives.

Just to blow up a new batch of tanks.

The ideal is full, but the reality is cruel. It is very difficult to blow up a new group of tanks, even if you wipe out a squadron of devils.

Not to mention the vehicle-mounted machine gun of the tank, and the infantry providing cover, even if the devil pretended to be dead, it would be difficult to blow up the tank when the tank passed by and detonated the explosives.

The artillery wing of the 10th Division has a total of 36 guns.

These guns are scattered on three roads to defend against the attack of the new regiment, that is to say, there are only 12 guns on each road.

Even with artillery coverage, it is more difficult to hit a tank in action.

It is not realistic to push the mountain artillery and field artillery to the front of the battlefield to aim at the tank and shoot directly. The eight-way 150mm heavy artillery is not a decoration, and will first bombard the target area.

Tanabe Moritake asked in a deep voice, "Ishikawa-kun has a solution?"

"There is no good solution for now!"

"That's why I'm asking you, Tanabe-kun."

Ishikawa Jiro shook his head, his face became more and more gloomy, and a bad feeling suddenly surfaced in his heart.

I ask you, you ask me in turn?

Judging from the speed at which the Xinyi Regiment conquered positions, the speed at which the engineering regiment dug tunnels was far from enough.

At this time, the new regiment must be accumulating an attack.

Moreover, the engineering unit has not closed their eyes all day and night. They have been digging tunnels and building fortifications. The engineers are very tired.

"Since there is no other way!" Ishikawa Erlang looked at Tanabe Moritake's silence, and asked in a deep voice, "In my opinion, why don't the 10th Division concentrate all its forces and have a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment? "

"A decisive battle head-on?" Moritake Tanabe was startled, "Ishikawa-kun, can the current 10th Division beat the Shindan Regiment?"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Although Ishikawa Jiro also knows that the current 10th division is probably not the opponent of the new regiment.

During the repeated attacks in the first half of the month, the 10th Division suffered heavy casualties, accounting for one-third of the combat troops. Moreover, the soldiers of the 10th Division were already exhausted due to continuous operations and successive attacks.

However, the soldiers of the new regiment often only need to deploy a small amount of troops to resist the attacks of the squadron and brigade level of the 10th Division.

Therefore, now the new regiment is fighting the 10th division and waiting for work, and whether it is artillery firepower or infantry firepower, the new regiment has completely crushed the 10th division.

How to fight this?
However, Ishikawa Jiro was not reconciled. He wanted to wait for the arrival of the 26th Regiment of the Independent Infantry of the 11th Division to have a head-on confrontation with the Shinichi Regiment.

"It's not up to you and me to decide." Moritake Tanabe said solemnly, "Commander Okamura must be consulted!"

Ishikawa Jiro nodded: "Then ask Commander Okamura first!"

……

Dagu Town.

The new regiment.

Before dark, each attacking force took another 2 to 3 positions.

It was a tentative attack before, and after adding the Leopard tanks and flame-breathing tanks to participate in the attack, even if the devils and puppet troops had tunnels as cover, they could not stop the new group's attack.

The devils have mountain artillery in the distance, and mortars and infantry artillery on the anti-slope position, so the casualties of the new regiment are not small.

However, the number of casualties is still not as large as that of the devils and puppet troops.

The firepower of the artillery is extremely strong, and the quality of the artillery is getting higher and higher. It is true that the gunners are all fed with shells.

After listening to the chief of staff's report, Li Yunlong looked satisfied.

According to this advancing speed, all the bunkers and artillery positions can definitely be captured within three days.

The attack speed of the new regiment is definitely faster than that of the devil's engineering unit digging tunnels and fortifications.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong asked Cao Jiang to come to the battalion headquarters and ordered Battalion Commander Cao to lead the 1st Battalion of the new cavalry regiment to attack to kill the 10th Cavalry Wing of the 10th Division.
