My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 193 Yamamoto: Their purpose is actually very simple, just to kill the locust army!

Boom!
Suddenly, the muffled and piercing gunfire stopped, and afterward, the whole world seemed to fall into a strange silence.

In an instant, the world changed from extremely noisy and chaotic to quiet and terrifying.

"Stop shooting?"

In Hedu stronghold, on the third floor, Warrant Officer Akagi, who was huddled in a corner, waited for a while, and found that the world was still quiet, then raised his head tremblingly, and dust and debris fell from his head.

At this moment, his eyes were dull, his expression was full of fear, and under his feet, the samurai sword that symbolized command power had broken into several knots, or even several pieces.

His hands couldn't help shaking even more.

Obviously, the round of shooting just now left him with an indescribable shock.

"anyone there?"

After a while, he looked around, shouting hoarsely and tremblingly.

No one responded.

"Is there... anyone else?"

Warrant Officer Akagi's voice became hoarse and trembling.

Still no one responded, and the stronghold was eerily quiet.

At this moment, Warrant Officer Akagi noticed that his vision was blurred. He struggled to get up, wiped off the blood and dust sticking to his face, and finally his vision became clear.

he saw,
On the ground, there are broken wall debris mixed with minced meat and bones, like a layer of red mortar, covering the entire third floor of the stronghold, and small red streams flow down the stairs to the second floor.

Because the enemy's offensive was too fierce and the weapons were beyond imagination, Warrant Officer Akagi gathered all but the locust army in the two bunkers into the stronghold, intending to hold a meeting to boost the momentum, but unexpectedly...

Then he raised his head,
Directly opposite is a twisted and deformed Type [-] heavy machine gun, enlarged and collapsed shooting holes, and a stronghold wall full of holes.

Looking through the heavy machine gun shooting hole that he could almost walk out of directly, he saw that at a distance of about 700 meters in the distance, six cars carrying dozens of Eighth Route Army Shi Shi ran away, and the Tuba Road on the car even Standing on the seat, holding up the binoculars and looking towards the direction of the stronghold.

It was like inspecting the fruits of victory.

"This this···"

Warrant Officer Akagi began to tremble.

The enemy's heavy machine gun, at a distance of nearly 800 meters, can actually penetrate the front wall of his stronghold, and even the remaining power after the penetration can still easily kill and injure the locust soldiers and destroy weapons.

This terrible situation also let the devil know why the Hecun, Luoshan and other strongholds would quickly fall into crisis.

In the face of this terrifying weapon, the terrifyingly huge bullets are not built with earth, wood, sand, and the stronghold walls built to resist guerrilla pistol bullets, rifle bullets, and flamethrowers can resist it.

"anyone there?"

This time, Warrant Officer Akagi stood up directly, shouting hoarsely.

His voice was still trembling.

The stronghold is still quiet, only the heavy breathing of Warrant Officer Akagi.

"Mother···"

"Mother···"

Warrant Officer Akagi staggered, burst into tears, rushed out of the stronghold like crazy, and ran in the opposite direction of the troops' retreat.

After more than ten years of Bushido baptism, Warrant Officer Akagi believes that the indestructible and fearless, the courage and honor of being a locust and being loyal to the imperial jade, is like that katana, which is easily destroyed by a 12.7mm tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet.
breakdown,

crush.

At this moment, only fear remained in his heart.

Even if he miraculously survived, even unscathed.

···
"It seems that there are still alive?"

On the way to retreat, the deputy platoon leader holding a binoculars stared at the Hedu stronghold that was getting farther and farther away, and was stunned.

He seemed to see the devil standing up inside the stronghold?
"There are still people alive in the stronghold?"

"This little devil is lucky!"

"It is estimated that his locust is protecting him."

The platoon leader sneered, but there was obvious surprise in his tone.

Although the 12.7mm heavy machine gun combined with the tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile is extremely powerful and can penetrate the Devil's armored vehicle, it is still powerless against the two firepower bunkers around the stronghold.

According to the test of the independent group, the thick soil layer of the devils bunker can easily absorb the kinetic energy of the bullets, and the devils in the bunker only need to get down on the ground to be safe and worry-free.

So this time he pointed all six machine guns at the main body of the stronghold.

The main body of the Hedu stronghold is a circular column base with a bluestone structure, which can prevent pistol bullets, Czech bullets, and even block flat mortar fire. There is also a special structure for flamethrowers.

But it can't stop the shooting of tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile.

It can even be worn directly.

Even at a distance of six to seven hundred meters.

This time, he strengthened the platoon of six new heavy machine guns, and fired a total of nearly [-] rounds at the small stronghold. More than [-]% of the bullets hit the stronghold. stand up,
I have to say, it was a miracle.

"Sooner or later, we will kill this devil, the locust."

The deputy platoon leader was murderous.

The platoon leader did not speak, but glanced at his temporary deputy platoon leader.

Because of the lack of grassroots officers and cadres, in fact, their platoon does not have a deputy platoon leader, or even an agent. The deputy platoon leader was directly sent by the superior and came from the independent regiment.

He couldn't understand why.

It is said that the two people are in joint command, and the deputy platoon leader is the main one, but this one made it clear from the beginning, and the command is handed over to him.

However, the deputy platoon leader from the Independent Regiment came with six jeeps, ten tons of ammunition, fuel and other supplies, as well as the weird order from the superior—attack the Hedu stronghold and kill the devils.

···
"Report."

"Yesterday, nineteen strongholds in the Jinzhong Basin, such as Hedu, Hecun, and Luoshan, were attacked by guerrilla mechanized troops. The enemy showed strong firepower in the attack, and used new mortars, new heavy machine guns, and tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets. , all strongholds suffered heavy losses.”

"The total number of casualties was 500, of which 370 were Yu Sui."

At the headquarters of the First Army, the devil's staff quickly calculated the results of the battle.

The Jinzhong Basin is the core control area of ​​the First Army, and its control ability is very strong. Even if the three surrounding counties are occupied by troops, the central bustling area and traffic are still under the control of the devils.

"Tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile..."

"Large caliber heavy machine gun..."

"Mechanization..."

Yoshio Shinozuka pondered over these words with a strange expression on his face.

Tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles, although the Devils are not equipped with them.

This thing is expensive to manufacture, and it takes time and effort to manufacture. Not to mention devils, even the wealthy Uncle Sam will not equip heavy machine guns these days.Even at the end of World War II, there were very few, after all, there were not enough tanks.

But the devil knows that there is such a thing.

During the previous battle in Ling County, the little devil knew that the Tuba Road was equipped with such terrifying ammunition on a large scale, and it was fired with a new type of 12.7 caliber heavy machine gun.

So Shinozuka Yoshio didn't feel strange in his heart.

but mechanized
Even though he knew beforehand that the Tubalu guerrillas were equipped with cars on a large scale, using the word mechanization...was true, which made Yoshio Shinozuka feel awkward and instinctively resisted.

"Hey, although the guerrillas dispatched by the Tuba Road this time are not many troops, generally only fifty to one hundred people, but all of them are in small armed vehicles and have realized mechanization."

The staff officer bowed his head and explained:

"All of them have marched through the car, into the field, and have reached mechanization standards."

"Even, the follow-up troops are all in cars, equipped with that kind of large-caliber heavy machine gun, but there is no armor plate protection, and the technical department considers that they are not powered enough."

The devil's staff officer hacked the jeep for a while.

At this time, because of poverty, the devils did not have the concept of motorization and mechanization.

But strictly speaking, the devil's staff officer was right. In this raid and harassment war, the troops directly entered the battlefield in jeeps to participate in the battle, which was considered a low-standard mechanization.

"Mechanization..."

Yoshio Shinozuka has a complicated heart.

Even the Fifth Division of the Empire, after last year's modernization and adaptation, added a large number of armored vehicles and cars, claiming to have achieved mechanization, but Shinozuka Yoshio knew that the Fifth Division was actually far from meeting the mechanization standard.

The Fifth Division is still supported by a large number of mules and horses. The additional vehicles are mainly used to tow heavy weapons. Only some soldiers can march in vehicles, enter the battlefield, and maneuver on the battlefield, and they still mainly rely on foot.

Even in many cases, marching has to rely on foot.

And Tubalu not only relies on cars to enter the battlefield, but also relies on the heavy weapons it carries to fight.

Even if only on a small scale...

small scale...

"How many cars did they dispatch in total?"

Yoshio Shinozuka asked suddenly.

There are nineteen strongholds, with a minimum of six vehicles and a maximum of ten vehicles, which is quite a lot. In addition, the supporting troops are all in vehicles. This number does not seem to be small.

"Counting the follow-up support troops, there are about [-] vehicles."

The staff officer of the First Army responded quickly.

"Four hundred..."

Shinozuka Yoshio rubbed his forehead and sighed deeply.

This number... a division of the locust army, even the full-staffed main division in North China, only has [-] vehicles. Although the guerrillas are all small cars, the [-] vehicles of a division of the locust army is Including armored vehicles and tractors.

Visible to the naked eye, the strength of the guerrillas is increasing rapidly.

Fortunately...
It's none of his business this time.

Thinking of his request for help, Shinozuka Yoshio felt much better.

Things were troublesome, but he didn't need to deal with them.

Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of Tubalu, who knows how strong he is, and whose purpose he can't even guess.

Instinctively, Shinozuka Yoshio believed that the purpose of the Tuba Road this time was definitely not to deal with the mopping up of tens of thousands of locust troops.

There must be a larger scale action...
"What are they doing?"

Suddenly, a doubt appeared in Yoshio Shinozuka's mind.

Nineteen small units were dispatched, as well as a large number of supporting troops, with a total strength of 6000 people, consuming a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies.

According to rough statistics, the ammunition and materials it consumes are comparable to a large-scale battle of a division, that is, the consumption of a division in the Songhu Battle.

Just to attack 600 strongholds in various places in the Jinzhong Basin, causing more than 400 casualties of the locust army, of which nearly [-] were broken.

For what?
Even if the supplies of Tuba Road are very sufficient, this shouldn't be the case!
"why?"

Yoshio Shinozuka asked Yamamoto on the side, and Yamamoto expressed his thoughts:

"I think the purpose of Tuba Road is actually very simple."

"One, it's military training."

"They have acquired a large number of advanced weapons in a short period of time, and the troops have not yet digested and adapted to these weapons, so they cannot exert their full combat effectiveness and develop appropriate tactics."

"Secondly,"

"To kill the locust army."

"To kill the locust army?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was taken aback.

They expected the former, but the scale of ammunition and supplies consumed by Tuba Road was too large for him to accept.

The latter was something he hadn't thought of.

"Correct."

Yamamoto's tone was full of surprise:

"Judging from the battle process of the nineteen strongholds, the purpose of all the tactical actions of the Tuba Road is actually very simple."

"It is purely for the purpose of killing and wounding the locust army, and using large equivalent firepower as a means to reduce its own casualties."

"Killing the Locust Army..."

Recalling the detailed battle report, though not all, Shinozuka Yoshio also fell silent.

With Shinozuka Yoshio's commanding skills, after careful consideration, it is actually clear at a glance-the core purpose of the [-] attacks on the stronghold that occurred yesterday, the Tuba Road was to kill the locust army.

Nothing else.

"To be able to fight such a wasteful and extravagant battle..."

"So··"

Shinozuka Yoshio let out a long sigh:
"Their weapons and ammunition, I'm afraid..."

"Although the ammunition consumption of the locust army has always been much lower than that of the world's mainstream powers, but..."

Yamamoto paused and continued:

"The abundance of ammunition and weapons of the Tuba Road is probably beyond our imagination."

"General, their actions in the Jinzhong Basin this time, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka was suddenly relieved.

Yamamoto also had a little more strategic vision at this time, although only a little.
