My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 266
"Report···"

"The Eighth Route Army launched an attack!"

"They... sent out tanks!"

"Dozens of tanks, followed by more than 100 cars, attacked from the front."

"The first line of defense has been broken!"

"Currently, the Dado United and Hechi United are blocking..."

Before Komura Ningji could think about why the Dinghaishenzhen and decisive weapons of the Japanese Locust Army were attacked by precise air strikes at night, bad news came from the front again.

"tank!"

"Follow more than 100 tanks!"

"front!"

Neiji Okamura stood up abruptly.

He knows.

The kind of tank that first appeared on the Yangquan battlefield,
The firepower, mobility, or protection capabilities are far superior to the current mainstream tanks of various countries, whether they are imperial or German.

The Eighth Route Army also has night market equipment, which has been proven through intelligence and the Yangquan battle.

"What do they want?"

He quickly ran to the map, too lazy to take the magnifying glass, Neiji Gangmura lay on the map directly, his eyes widened.

dozens of tanks,
More than 100 cars.

These two data echoed repeatedly in his mind, and Ningji Gangmura glanced over and over again at Jingxing and the surrounding maps on the map, thinking quickly in his mind.

What do they want to do?
Germany, already in France, proved the power of the use of tank groups.

So··
"They want to surround!"

Soon, Okamura Neji came to a conclusion.

"They plan to use tanks and trucks to break through the frontal defense line of the locust army, and then..."

Gangcun Ningci looked at the canyon area where Jingxing leads to Shimen, where the Zhengtai Line passes.

As long as this place is blocked, more than 5 locust troops will become turtles in the urn!

Thinking of this, Gangcun still couldn't figure it out.

He admitted that dozens of tanks and more than 100 trucks broke through the front of his army of more than 5 troops in Jingxing, where the terrain is flat, and the ground has not rained recently, and the canyon between Jingxing and Shimen is not difficult .

Not difficult.

Jingxing did not arrange a strong defensive position against tanks.

Not to mention, the previous continuous bombing also caused serious damage to the already weak position.

The canyon from Jingxing to Shimen is said to be a canyon, but in fact it is more than 900 meters flat at its narrowest point, and even several kilometers wide at its widest point. It is not too much to say it is a small basin.

It is an excellent terrain for tank battles.

The slopes of the surrounding commanding heights are also gentle, not as good as the highlands on the two wings of Yangquan. Thinking about it, tanks can easily climb up.

As long as the tanks come up, no matter how powerful the defense force he deploys, unless he has enough ways to destroy the tanks, the high ground will inevitably fall.

But how to hold the canyon?

He deployed more than 5000 reserve teams near the canyon, and there were more than 8000 locust troops in Shimen.

Relying on dozens of tanks and infantry carried by more than 100 vehicles, can they defend the canyon with the narrowest point of more than 900 meters and the widest several kilometers, with the surrounding commanding heights and gentle slopes?
Unless that kind of tank is absolutely invulnerable, and even a dozen kilograms of explosives can't shake the slightest bit, otherwise it will be easily destroyed in the face of a locust army dozens of times stronger.

This is obviously impossible.

In the Yangquan battle, the track of that kind of tank was blown off.

However, he was able to discover the loophole in the first time, and the Eighth Route Army would not have thought of it?

Okamura Ningji still looked solemn.

Although recently, the Eighth Route Army has mostly won wars with absolute weapon superiority, but among them, it can still be found that the Eighth Route Army command class is not an idiot, and the battle plans they have formulated are meticulous and meticulous.

There is absolutely no way such a huge vulnerability could occur.

They must have a way to defend the canyon between Jingxing and Shimen.

What could it be?

Gangcun Ningci's forehead was dripping with sweat gradually.

The front-line Eighth Route Tank Troop was going straight to the canyon between Jingxing and Shimen, intending to encircle the [-] troops under his command.

Although he has an army of [-] locusts and has sufficient strength, it is impossible to hold the canyon due to a serious lack of anti-tank artillery. Now that he is sending troops up, there is no solid position and he cannot hold the commanding heights.

Besides, the speed of the tank is too fast.

From Nanzhen to the canyon, the straight-line distance is less than [-] kilometers, and there is open flat land in the middle. It takes at most two hours for the tank tracks to drive up the canyon and the highlands on both wings.

Reinforcements were too late.

"Can't we use heavy artillery to stop these tanks?"

At this time, a sentence in the staff room caught Gangcun's attention.

Even though the Eighth Route Army's tanks broke through the locust army's position like a knife cutting tofu, the locust army did not give up resistance and still firmly organized troops to resist.

It's just that it seems to have no effect so far.

In just ten minutes, the second defensive position was also breached, and now the forward of the Eighth Route Army tank unit has advanced ten kilometers, approaching the center of Jingxing.

The follow-up Tuba Road ground troops also launched an offensive simultaneously, and also used new large-caliber mortars.

The power is comparable to 105 howitzers.

The difference between a howitzer and a mortar can be discerned with the naked eye.

As a result, the locust army had to deploy a large number of troops to block the eight-way offensive force, and could not deploy all its forces to block the tanks.

Fortunately, the follow-up offensive troops of the Tuba Road and the tank troops separated, otherwise they would be defeated.

"No."

In the staff room, someone explained:
"Tanks are too fast, heavy artillery is not mobile enough, and it's night..."

Gangcun did not participate in the discussion of the staff, and he did not need to participate in this most basic troop mobilization, but the heavy artillery mentioned by the staff gave him a wake-up call.

Not long ago, he was still shocked by a piece of news.

The Heavy Artillery Brigade came under precision air strikes and a dozen long-range cannons were destroyed.

And now it's night,

That is to say, following the night ground vision capability, Tuba Road has the air night vision capability again, which can launch precise air attacks at night.

even,

The height of the attack was high,
Even the heavy artillery brigade on high alert did not hear a sound.

"Air Support..."

Ningji Gangmura spit out a few words slowly.

He knew why Tuba Road dared to send dozens of tanks and more than 100 trucks to cut off the retreat route of his [-] troops.

With air support, the canyon between Jingxing and Shimen can be cut off.

but··
Even if you know, what can you do?
What can he do?
"idiot!"

Furious, helpless and desperate, Okamura Ningji broke his mouth, then drew out his samurai sword, and hacked indiscriminately.

"···"

Inside the staff headquarters, everything suddenly became quiet. The Japanese staff officers all looked over and looked at their commander.

····
at the same time.

2000 meters high in the sky.

Air gunship No. [-].

fire control room.

A soldier is wearing a headset, staring at the black and white screen in front of him, and controlling the joystick in his hand.

With the movement of the joystick, the picture on the black and white screen also moved at a high speed. After a few minutes, the movement of the picture gradually slowed down, and at the same time, the picture began to zoom in rapidly.

The eyes of the soldier wearing the headset widened slightly.

In the black and white, somewhat blurred picture, several stickman-style cannons appeared in the center of the screen.

Around the cannon, there are ghosts with the same stickman style, as well as mules, horses, and cars.

"Finally found!"

After confirming that there was nothing, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the third-generation observation system on the air gunboat that served in the 90s is extremely advanced, it can accurately scan and display targets on the ground at night, but the identification still needs manual work, and the degree of automation is not worse than that of the 21st century at 01:30.

Operators are stressed.

Moreover, due to the blurred picture, the large viewing angle is very prone to misjudgment.

need to zoom out,
But with a small viewing angle, the actual picture will be much less, which will affect the efficiency of search and investigation.

Moreover, synthetic aperture radar is also easily interfered by smoke, etc. If you need to attack, you need to combine photoelectric probes and infrared probes to confirm.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But this time the task is very heavy. They need to eliminate the main force of the Devil's Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade as soon as possible, and then support the 17th Battalion to defend the canyon and block the more than 5 devils.

Otherwise, once the devils assemble artillery units and bombard the canyon between Jingxing and Shimen violently, the defensive troops will suffer great losses.

Even the No. 72 tank can't stop the more than 150 kilograms of shells from the Devil's 40mm cannon.

Due to lack of logistics personnel, only one can be dispatched this time.

Now that the Devil Artillery Unit was found, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The soldier pressed a few buttons while reporting.

"Found the devil cannon."

On the other side, the fire control team took over the transmitted coordinate screen and aimed the front sight of the 105 howitzer at the transferring Devil Artillery on the ground.

The devil's heavy cannon is actually very easy to distinguish.

Although it is difficult to distinguish the type of artillery from the gunboat in the air, relying on night vision equipment, and the size is not obvious, but the cars and tractors are still easy to distinguish clearly.

The heavy artillery needs to be towed by a crawler tractor.

Such as 150 cannon and so on.

The other 105 howitzers, the light 150 guns, only need cars to be towed.

In short, it is right to hit the artillery pulled by the crawler tractor.

As the gunboat in the air trembled,
On the searcher's screen, on the ground, a cloud of explosion smoke appeared near a 150-ton Type [-] [-] cannon of the devil, and the devils around fell down one after another.

Subsequently, the air gunboat began to circle, and the 105 howitzers on the flanks began to bombard continuously at a rate of six rounds per minute.

Simultaneously,

Six 30mm cannons also joined the strafing.

Ten minutes later, on the ground, a Japanese heavy artillery regiment that was retreating suffered heavy losses. All ten 10-meter large-caliber heavy artillery equipped with it were destroyed, and all transport vehicles were wiped out.

There were not many casualties.

Less than half.

Coincidentally, this attack was seen by an American military attache on a nearby hill who was observing the battlefield.

Even took pictures.

Relying on the muzzle fireworks when the gunboat fired in the air, although the plane in mid-air could not be seen, the position of the gunboat was known.

It is also clear that this mysterious aircraft with large-caliber artillery is carrying out precise fire strikes on an important ground target.

In the film era, time-lapse photography is very troublesome.
But the scene of intensive firepower pouring towards a single point remains in the photo.
