Chapter 171 Breakdown!

"We surrounded six thousand devils this time?"

Before the departure of 39 infantry battalions and three artillery battalions, the regiment headquarters sent a message.

This time, the Independence Regiment and other reinforcements surrounded a total of [-] devils.

"Yes, six thousand!"

The battalion commanders are all aware of the battle plan.

Anyone who can become a battalion commander has rich experience.

In particular, the battalion commander who can serve as the combat unit of the independent regiment, and the battalion commander who leads the team to reinforce the independent regiment, are the most elite group of people in this unit.

They unanimously use this number as a morale incentive point:

"We plan to surround six thousand devils this time!"

"However, the encirclement has not been sealed yet, and the devils may still escape along the entrance of the road. Our task is to quickly penetrate, then block the gap, and block the devils who want to escape."

"Comrades, the dumplings are already on the table. Whether we can eat them or not depends on our abilities."

More than [-] devils, this number did not scare the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army at all, but made everyone's eyes red.

Like a group of hungry wolves who have been hungry for a long time, they saw a fat prey.

···
In order to cover up the purpose of eating at one bite, Li Yunlong also organized troops to launch several night raids. The ten infantry battalions facing each other, more than 6000 troops, repeatedly attacked the devils' positions under the cover of night.

The little devil is not to be outdone,

With the help of the broken position, the impact of the independent regiment was repelled many times, and even several counterattacks were launched.

Although the darkness can limit the use of superior firepower, and the devils are also proficient in night battles, no matter what the battle is, the side with superior firepower will have an advantage, nothing more than a few.

As for the night battle...
Who doesn't know this yet?

The little devil's night battle is a necessary training subject, so field battles are just a housekeeping skill for the Eighth Route Army!

Back then, when the per capita bullets were less than five rounds, and when two people could not share a gun, they spent three years fighting with little devils in night battles. Although the equipment has been improved recently, how could they forget their housekeeping skills?
As for hand to hand combat...

Unfortunately,
Although the independent regiment has always insisted on training hand-to-hand combat, and other troops have never fallen behind, but since each squad was equipped with two machine guns and submachine guns on a large scale, hand-to-hand combat has never happened again.

The devil really wants to, but why...

Within seven steps, submachine guns and machine guns fire faster and more accurate bullets than bayonets, and within seven steps, submachine guns are faster and more accurate.Even if it is facing each other at a corner, the action of pulling the trigger is much faster than that of a bayonet.

At night, mountainous battlefields are limited by observation means and terrain, and there is no room for long-range artillery to play, but it is very suitable for close-range individual curved weapons such as grenades.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were familiar with the terrain, gave full play to the free property of their special grenades for grenades. Flares and grenades flew all over the sky, causing great damage to the devils.

The fierce night battle attracted Hattori Naotomi's full attention. He had to use the reserve team to fill the gap many times, so that the march in the surrounding area in the middle of the night did not attract the attention of the devils.

In other words, the devil found some clues, but didn't pay much attention to them.

···
December NO.12.

early morning.

The sky has just turned pale.

"It's finally dawn!"

Naotomi Hattori, who hadn't slept all night, breathed a sigh of relief.

It was dawn, which meant that the Mountain Artillery Wing could provide fire support, and it meant that the precarious positions on the front line were safe.

The counterattack launched by the independent regiment last night, although the locust army prevented it, the process was extremely tragic. In just one night, the Hattori brigade suffered more than 1000 casualties, including more than 500 Yusha.

"Keep attacking."

Naotomi Hattori, who hadn't slept all night, couldn't wait to launch an attack.

With the continuous delivery of materials from Shitouwan, the strength of the base area became stronger visible to the naked eye, which not only aroused the worries of Naozaburo Okabe, but even the devil's base camp became tense.

Candied fruit can't solve it, and if there is another frontal battlefield, the situation will be completely deadlocked.

The base camp headed by Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yone has recently ordered many times to take down Yangcun and Shitouwan as soon as possible. Round after round of pressure was passed on to Naomi Hattori, forcing him to speed up the pace of attack.

at the same time,

"attack."

Following Li Yunlong's order, 39 infantry battalions and three artillery battalions also launched operations.

Although in the night attack last night, three infantry battalions suffered heavy casualties, temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, and had to retreat for repairs.

Most of the night battles were melee and close combat. Even if they had superior firepower, as the offensive side, the difference in casualties between the Independent Regiment and the Devils was not that big. The Devils had over a thousand casualties, and the Independent Regiment was not feeling well.

Of course, the independent group suffered more injuries and sacrificed less.

However, the three battalions with huge casualties are all three battalions supported by their superiors. While these three battalions retreated and repaired, the other three battalions also seamlessly filled their positions.

After receiving the weapons and equipment, the three battalions immediately went to the battlefield.

····
front.

The twelve battalions of the independent regiment, with nearly 7000 people, under the cover of an artillery battalion and an 82 mortar company belonging to the battalion, a total of more than 50 82 artillery shells, launched a fierce attack on the devil's position.

Simultaneously,

The devil's two infantry regiments also launched an attack with the support of three tanks, more than 30 75-type mountain cannons, four [-]-type long-range cannons, and two [-]-type mountain cannons.

The two sides directly launched a fierce collision.

at the same time,

On the two wings of the devil's position, there were twenty battalions, which surpassed the strength of the devil's service department brigade, and continued to penetrate at high speed, rushing towards the entrance of Yangcun Highway, Lao Niu Mao and Niutoushan.

It's like a pair of iron tongs, trying to pinch the devils who enter the mountain area.

"Does Tuba Road want to encircle it?"

The movement of the two wings was immediately discovered by the devil's reconnaissance plane and the reconnaissance force of the two wings.

As a major general with real power, Hattori Naoko has rich experience in command. After a few days of strong attack, Hattori Naoko also realized the strength of the Tuba Road on the opposite side. While attacking, he did not relax his vigilance at all, and the protection of the two wings was also very good.

On the left and right flanks, two partial brigades were deployed, and about a thousand devils guarded the key commanding heights and passages.

"I see."

Naotomi Hattori suddenly realized that his expression finally relaxed completely.

Strong frontal counterattack.

Larger forces on both wings outflanked.

Typical pincer attack.

He finally knew which card Li Yunlong, who was in charge of commanding the battle, played on the opposite side.

Tubalu wanted to injure and eat him into the mountain troops in one go.

"Big appetite!"

Naotomi Hattori sneered.

Whether it is the front line or the flanks, they are under the cover of nearly [-] mountain cannons deployed in Niutoushan and Laoniumao, and also under the cover of four [-]-type cannons deployed near Yangpo.

Facing the absolute superiority of artillery, it is not so easy for Tubalu to complete the encirclement.

What's more, although the Hattori brigade suffered huge losses in the day and night fighting, with more than 2000 casualties, but at this time, he still had a full-staffed infantry regiment, two infantry brigades, and a total of 5000 reserve troops.

"Keep attacking."

Hattori Naotomi didn't panic at all.

During the day, it is the world of locust artillery.

The only thing that makes him nervous is the night.

The ferocity of the night attack launched by Tuba Road last night still made him shudder.

However, after discovering the continuous supply of materials from Shitouwan, General Gangbu discussed with the commander of the front army and the base camp, suspended the sweep, and mobilized two infantry regiments to reinforce him.

···
"go ahead!"

Sitting in a Type [-] chariot, Dongye Xiong looked proudly.

Although one tank and one armored vehicle were lost yesterday, it was blown up by Tuba road anti-tank mines.

Actual combat has proved that Tuba Road has no anti-tank weapons.
Even the Type [-] infantry guns are not equipped with armor-piercing projectiles, and can only use high-explosive projectiles to anti-tank.

This discovery made Dong Yexiong completely relieved. For the next attack, as long as he was careful of anti-tank mines and those death squads holding explosives that had not yet appeared, his armored brigade would be invincible.

"I don't know when the next level of tanks in the empire will be equipped!"

During the intermission of the battle, Dong Yexiong's thoughts flooded.

In this battle, he deeply realized the strength of the armor, and he was looking forward to the next level of imperial tanks in the future.

"Why·"

Then, he sighed leisurely.

But even if it is only a lieutenant, Xiong Dong knows that although the armor is powerful, it is impossible to equip tanks on a large scale with the national strength of the empire, and naturally it will not spend money on researching new tanks.

Of course, there is another point that there is no demand for the North China battlefield and the Republic of China battlefield.

More advanced tanks are not needed.

"If it's Tuba Road..."

As soon as his thoughts came here, Dongye Xiong pursed his lips and stopped talking to himself.

If the Tuba Road has a certain anti-armor power, although it can prompt the empire to research more advanced tanks, he is afraid that it will be...
Withdrawing his thoughts, Dong Ye Xiong looked outside through the observation window.

As the locust army continued to advance, at this time Tuba Road launched a counterattack from both wings, and Dongyexiong skillfully commanded the tanks to cooperate with the infantry, preparing to repel the enemy's counterattack.

He saw that on the hillside on the right, many Tuba roads carrying long barrels suddenly sprang out.

"Anti-tank gun!"

Dong Yexiong immediately realized that something was wrong.

But before he could react,
Boom, boom, boom... Intensive crushing sounds and collision sounds sounded continuously.

Eastern Wild Bear sees,
In some narrow tank cockpits, the upper body of the tank driver in front of him was completely shattered, and the gunner and loader were also shattered, and bloody limbs splashed in the cockpit.

The engine also stopped working after a tooth-piercing creak.

Broken flesh and blood stained the tank compartment, like a sinkhole in a slaughterhouse.

Dozens of holes suddenly appeared on the armor around the cockpit of the tank, and light penetrated into the cockpit through the holes.

What is incredible is that after being hit by nearly a hundred rounds of anti-tank armor-piercing bullets, and many bullets ricocheted repeatedly in the cockpit, Dongye Xiong was only spattered with blood foam, but he was not injured at all.

A miracle.

However, the sudden waking up made the old devil startled. In addition, the engine stopped suddenly and the driver was lost. The tank fell to the side of a cliff with a height of more than seven meters, and fell to the ground.

A 1000mm tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile fired by a two-meter-long anti-tank gun with a muzzle velocity exceeding 12.7 meters per second can penetrate the 100mm frontal armor with tracks within 35 meters, let alone the thin Type [-] side armor.

Some even hit each other directly.

Although the anti-tank guns are huge, they are obviously easier to hide than the Type [-] infantry guns. The devils didn't notice the anti-tank guns ambushing on the two wings at first.

Whether mentally or not, the devil's three tanks were all wiped out when they met each other.

Not to mention the remaining six armored vehicles, the mere [-]mm homogeneous steel plate can penetrate even the armor-piercing projectiles fired by the Czech type.

"Come on!"

Immediately afterwards, the loud charge horn sounded.

Without the fire cover of the tanks, facing the independent regiment with superior light firepower and full mortar firepower, the devil's attacking troops were instantly defeated and had to retreat in a hurry.

at the same time,

On a slope three kilometers away from the base of the Devil Artillery Corps, Lao Niu Mao and the top of Niutoushan Mountain, a piece of turf was suddenly lifted, and teams of Eighth Route Army soldiers came out with brand-new 60 mortars and ammunition boxes. .

In just 3 minutes, these fighters skillfully set up the mortar and adjusted the pitch and firing angle.

Obviously, it has undergone targeted on-the-spot training.

"Target, Old Niu Mao and Niutoushan."

"fire!"

The commander of the artillery company in charge gave the order to shell.
