My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 254 T-72
Simultaneously.

Yangquan.

"The enemy is coming."

Among the ruins, a devil captain looked at the soldiers hiding in the ruins, in the houses, or in the tunnels, with a smirk in his tone:

"Once in position, their artillery cannot be used."

His location is a large circular fortification,
With the help of the surrounding complex buildings and wreckage, a complex collection of fortifications is constructed through the fortification group composed of surface round fortresses, deep trenches, anti-gun holes, and deep tunnels.

A great army of locusts was stationed,

The firepower points can cover each other, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In less than ten days, with thousands of casualties, the Tuba Road will definitely not be able to take it down-this is what the captain thinks.

As soon as the voice fell, the devils who were originally sluggish and demoralized all lifted their spirits.

During the week-long bombardment, 10,000+ shells of various calibers, including nearly 150 super heavy artillery shells weighing [-] kilograms, one can destroy a concrete bunker,
And his own side has no power to resist, so it can only be bombed in vain.

In the face of such ferocious shelling, even try to avoid, or even hide in residential areas.

But once the shelling is over, the front-line positions must send people to garrison the firepower points, and the scale should not be small, otherwise the enemy will rush up, but next, is it the enemy's shelling or the infantry charge?

No one knows.

Therefore, within a week, there were still nearly 900 casualties, of which [-] were jade broken.

That kind of terrible heavy artillery shell, which is comparable to the power of the 240 heavy artillery, only needs one round to reimburse a team, even in the bunker fortification, it is completely wiped out.

And the enemy didn't have a single casualty.

Even after being baptized by Bushido, the spiritually strong locust army collapsed a bit.

The violent shelling made many officers unable to bear the desire to launch a jade smashing charge and smash jade in a glorious way.

It's a pity, if the cavalry regiment didn't show the result of a wave of charging staring at the dense shells, maybe the devils really rushed out.

As a result, at this time, a simple cannon can't be used, but it can actually stimulate the fighting spirit of the devils.

"Kill them."

The leader of the devil squadron howled.

"Kill them."

Devil soldiers Qiqi hysterical.

"After the mines detonated, they opened fire immediately, killing and wounding their sappers."

But when the devil was hysterical and the squadron leader looked out expectantly,
The attacking force led by Sun Cang stopped in front of the ruins.

As an officer who has participated in the training of those mysterious instructors, Sun Cang knows very well how difficult street fighting is. Even though Yangquan is only a small county, the buildings are mostly brick and stone structures, and there are few concrete structures, let alone reinforced concrete.

But still hard to beat.

When Sun Cang was training in Yangcun, he asked a question.

Since street fighting is difficult, why not use artillery to blow up all the buildings?

When he participated in the training, the troops had popularized 105 howitzers and 120 heavy mortars, and the 240 super giant mortars were also in service. They had all the firepower to do this.

But the instructor replied that even if the artillery destroyed the buildings, the ruins left behind were still very good bunkers, which could weaken the firepower advantage of the offensive, forcing the offensive side to engage in hand-to-hand combat, giving the inferior firepower a chance.

The devils would hide in the ruins, or even hide under the ruins, wait for the attackers to approach, wait for work, brake quietly, launch a counterattack, and even use the ruins to set traps, causing huge casualties to the attackers.

so··

"Mortar."

With a wave of his hand, Sun Cang called for the company's mortars.

"Target, the ruins ahead."

"Grenade."

"Fire."

The devils must have arranged explosives, and it would be too troublesome and dangerous to send engineers to clear the mines, so... let's clear the mines directly.

boom boom boom

After more than a hundred shells fell, most of the explosives carefully arranged by the devils outside were detonated.

"Nani!"

This scene made the Devil Squadron Leader's eyes tear open.

Although there are still explosives left, the attack channel has been opened by the enemy, and the explosives he carefully arranged have almost no effect.

In other words, wasting hundreds of enemy shells?
"idiot."

The exasperated Devil Squadron Leader tightened his katana, ready to teach the attacking Eight Routes a bloody lesson.

But then,

A tank appeared in front of the devil...
Anyone who understands the market will be able to tell that the one outside Yangquan at this time is the famous T72.

Although this kind of tank has mixed reviews in later generations,

But it's the early 40s!

Even for the earliest T72, the frontal armor is equivalent to an average steel plate of more than [-] millimeters. In this era when mainstream anti-tank artillery has not yet reached [-] millimeters of armor penetration,

Can walk sideways.

What's more, at this time, the master of the system gave a later model.

BM model in service in the 90s!

In addition, the master of the system has improved the composite armor. For armor-piercing projectiles, the front armor is equivalent to an average steel plate of [-] mm, and for armor-piercing projectiles, it is equivalent to [-] mm.

The engine has also been improved, the reliability has been improved, the horsepower has been slightly increased, the volume and weight have not changed, and the fuel consumption has decreased.

The fighting power is stronger.

And it is undeniable that this tank chassis is very good.

Including the 130 howitzer crawler tractor, the artillery shell crawler transport vehicle, and the 240 mortar carrying site, all of which are used for this tank.

universality has been achieved.

Logistical pressure and personnel training pressure are minimized.

Although due to the shortage of operators and the fact that Jindi is not suitable for tanks, even if there are [-] vehicles in the warehouse, there is currently no large-scale equipment, only a small amount of equipment.

There are only about thirty vehicles that can participate in the battle.

The twenty or so vehicles that appear in Yangquan now are to reduce casualties.

Five of them were used to support the battle in the urban area, and the rest were on the flanks to assist in clearing the devils hiding in the mountains. The mountains around Yangquan were flat and the slopes were not steep, so the T72 could easily climb up.

of course,

The original 125 artillery was replaced by the British 105 caliber L7 late model.

after all,

It is now 40, and in the early 125s, it was meaningless to put 7 on the tank. Even if the L[-] is an early model, it can be used to turn the mouse head-on in one shot, and maybe it can be pierced.

Not to mention the late stage of power enhancement.

As for supporting infantry, L7 is enough. Even in the late World War II, ordinary reinforced concrete fortresses on the Siegfeller defense line can be penetrated with special armor-piercing bullets.

Going to 125 is purely to make yourself uncomfortable.

Moreover, the 105 caliber can also reduce logistical pressure, bring more shells, and enhance mobility.

Seeing the tank for the first time, the leader of the Devil Squadron was desperate,
Although he didn't know what kind of tank it was, he could tell at a glance that it was not light and the armor was thick. It was definitely not something the rifle in his hand could penetrate. As for the grenade,
You have to be close to the tank too!
Those Eighth Route Army armed with submachine guns and slowly approaching with tanks would never give him a chance.

Once near...

Looking at the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were slowly approaching behind the tanks with flamethrowers on their backs, the Devil Squadron Leader gritted his teeth.

Never let the flamethrower come near...
For their underground bunkers and fortifications, this kind of flamethrower is the most desperate weapon. The flames will spurt in along the gap, and the locust army in the narrow underground fortification will have nowhere to hide, and will be burned alive.

"Little Lin..."

"Three seats..."

"The empire needs you..."

He called in a few death squads and raised a few explosive kits and cluster grenades.

"Hi."

Those who can be called to join the Death Squad are all iron-headed devils, highlighting a disdain for death,
Even consider it an honor.

"See you at the Jiuduanban!"

After the slogan was finished, a few of them wore plaster flags on their heads, grenades and explosives bundled around their waists. Under the cover of the explosion smoke, they quietly left the underground bunker and hid in the ruins or even among the piles of corpses.
These devils are old devils with rich experience, and they did not act lightly, but quietly waited for the opportunity.

···
"Fire."

Opposite the Devil's position.

Sun Cang, the deputy company commander in charge of the command, already had a battle plan in mind.

He first commanded the tank to fire on the bunker fortifications that the mortars on the front could not cope with. The 7 shells fired by the L105 artillery easily destroyed the bunker fortifications carefully constructed by the devils.

Then ordered troops to infiltrate from both wings, occupying surrounding houses and streets,
Before occupying any house, throw a few grenades into it with firepower, suppress the firepower, and if there is any movement, greet with a flamethrower, and then the infantry enters.

Following the principle of opening the way with firepower, the Seventeenth Battalion nibbled forward step by step, and finally wiped out all the three squadrons stationed around the devils, and paid more than 40 casualties among themselves.

Casualties outnumbered eight to one.

Considering that devils are diehards, most of the [-]th Battalion enlisted in the army for only nine months. Excluding the three-month boot camp, the actual service in the army is actually only half a year.
This casualty is already very good.

Moreover, the number of devils was killed in battle, and that of the Seventeenth Battalion was casualties.

···
"What kind of tank is this..."

Seeing that a circular position with high hopes was occupied, it did not last even a day, and the three squadrons of locust troops were also wiped out. The devil commander who was hiding in the original gendarmerie headquarters in Yangquan was full of despair.

He witnessed the attack of the Seventeenth Battalion with his own eyes, so he could feel the deep despair.

that kind of tank...
A full squad of more than 50 imperial soldiers sacrificed their lives to cover an imperial death squad with a dozen grenades, which exploded close to the side.

Just a little blood on the side of that tank?
The artillery it carried could even directly penetrate the one and a half meters thick front of fortifications constructed with concrete walls, sandbags, civil engineering, etc., thus destroying a Type [-] infantry artillery.

"Report."

"No. 17 Brigade Captain Zuo Lin Zhongzuo don't call."

At the same time, a broken jade telegram was also sent to him:

"The left position creates enemy tanks to attack..."

There are more than 20 new tanks, although the number is not large, but the performance of the T72 is too powerful. In just one day, they broke through the fortifications carefully arranged by several devils in the city, and also helped the troops capture the land around the county. The reverse slope position.

The addition of T72 makes the battle extremely simple,
In just three days, there were no more established devils around Yangquan, and at noon on the fourth day, the remnant soldiers were handed over.

So far,

One of the important towns on the Zhengtai line, Yangquan belongs to the base area.
