My client Li Yunlong

"is that OK?"

Among the people in Yu County, a senior military officer asked with a worried tone.

In the frontline battle, five Japanese divisions launched continuous fierce attacks. According to accurate intelligence, three more Japanese divisions would come to support in the follow-up. The military pressure on the base area was very high.

Although it can be blocked.

But currently, there is still a gap between the strength of the troops and the strength of the Japanese in North China.

Not to mention the entire domestic devils, including the Kwantung Army.

Think about the future.

"no problem."

The head of the economic and industrial base area raised his head and spoke calmly.

He knew what the brigade commander from Mount Wutai was worried about.

Although the huge garment factory in front of us has advanced technology and huge output, which is of great benefit to the economy of the base area, it is of little help to the military force. Due to the implementation of the elite soldier system, the army currently has enough military uniforms.

The Japanese are powerful and occupy a large amount of territory. Logically speaking, the base areas should concentrate their efforts on developing military strength and military industry.

This clothing factory will occupy a large number of technical personnel who are not many in the first place.

However, this is actually a common misunderstanding in the base area, which believes that the development of the army and economic development should give priority to the former. But in fact, the best way is to focus on both.

Military industrial capabilities can directly enhance the strength of the troops, but the economic strength of the base area is also the key to ensuring the stability of the strength of the troops, improving the strength of the troops, and stabilizing the morale of the troops.

Economic capability is also the pillar and trump card of future military industrial capabilities.

After all, the current strength of the army is unrealistic, and even if it develops at full strength, it will not be realistic in the next two or even three years.

There are no supply channels, no transportation capabilities, and the troops lack large-scale offensive capabilities.

Moreover.

Don't take advantage now. Li Yunlong has clearly hinted that once the Japanese are completely beaten away, the technical staff of the boss behind him will retreat.

"You'll know in a few days."

The teacher on the side lowered his voice.

In fact, there is another key reason for the base area to dare to allocate certain manpower and material resources to develop the economy and other industries.

"Li Yunlong got another good thing?"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

In this situation, there is only one possibility.

Li Yunlong obtained good weapons again, which increased the strength of the army.

As the Japanese raids deepened, and after a month of stalemate with the Japanese, the troops showed a serious lack of firepower.

To this end, after obtaining April weapons and the ability to produce guns and ammunition in its own arsenal, the independent regiment underwent large-scale reorganization. In the 386th Brigade, the independent regiment was named the Firepower Regiment.

Significantly reduced the number of frontline infantry.

Although the number of rifles per month has been significantly reduced, the number of large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns and Czech machine guns has increased significantly, to 1,500 per month, of which 300 are large-caliber machine guns.

The number of 60, 82 and 120 mortars has also increased significantly.

The number of 75mm anti-tank artillery has increased significantly. Li Yunlong established a combat defense artillery battalion with thirty-five squads, which can obtain thirty-five pieces per month. This kind of artillery, although it is anti-tank and anti-trench, is used for After the fortifications, the defense is also very strong. Under direct fire,

And a two-battalion camp with a size of 2,000 people was vacated.

This part of the army is used to receive some advanced weapons, hone tactics, and train talents.

"What weapon is it this time?"

Everyone asked quickly.

"There's more than one kind."

The teacher continued to lie.

"More than one?!"

Everyone's eyes were as bright as light bulbs.

The products produced by the independent regiment must be high-quality. Whether it is a 60-meter mortar, an 82-meter mortar, or a 120-meter mortar, they have greatly or even qualitatively improved the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Not to mention aircraft radar.

Ever since the J-1 and radar were introduced, Japanese planes came in and were shot down. Not one of them returned alive. Not long ago, not one of the thirty planes managed to escape.

The Japanese hid the plane on the front line, thinking that the base area was unknown.

The Japs thought they were doing it very covertly, but in fact, when the Japs moved the plane, the radar detected it clearly. The headquarters had already opened its pockets and was waiting for the Japs plane to arrive.

Really advanced weapons, even in small quantities, can determine the victory of a battle.

"I do not know either."

It's a pity that the division commander spread his hands and said that he didn't know either.

···
at the same time.

Ze County.

"Yoshi."

Looking at the three tanks in front of him, Captain Yamazaki jumped for joy - unfortunately, his legs were short, and the attack had failed in the past few days. He personally led the attack and was injured.

When he jumps up, he's only 1.6 meters tall.

However, this does not prevent him from being happy.

Because of this attack, he will get four of the empire's latest Type 1 medium tanks.

Equipped with a huge 200-horsepower diesel engine, the Type 1 center tank can reach a speed of 44 kilometers, and can reach 25 kilometers per hour off-road, making it highly maneuverable.

No horses can catch up.

The front armor is fifty millimeters thick, and the Ministry of Military Industry even specially designed track padlocks, which can add tracks to the front armor to strengthen defense. Adding ten millimeters of tracks makes it 60 millimeters of armor.

Who can break through?

Along with the three tanks, there were also supplies of ammunition and a supplementary team of 500 people.

With three tanks opening the way, and the 500 people who came with them to supplement the team, he could capture even the entrance to the Ze County highway, let alone the small position south of Ze County.

You can even go straight in with other troops.

He received three tanks, and other troops must also have tank support.

"Prepare to attack."

Old devil Yamazaki feels that his legs and feet are healed and his injuries no longer hurt.

Three of the Empire's newest tanks.

Five hundred people replenished the team.

He wins for sure!

He wanted to avenge his shame and kill all the traitors who surrendered to the Imperial Warriors.

No.

To be crushed to death with crawlers.

Yamazaki's loyal bushido spirit, fearless charge every time, and mentally retarded interpersonal skills allowed him to win the opportunity to compete in the resurrection even if his troops surrendered.

after all.

The top Japanese leaders are not fools either. Naturally, they will not let go of such high-quality cannon fodder.

"The 1st Infantry Squadron launches an attack on the enemy's position, and the 2nd Infantry Squadron, together with the tank squadron, prepares to launch an attack."

Old devil Yamazaki is quite cunning.

Instead of taking out the tanks immediately, the first squadron was asked to attack first, without even artillery preparations, even though it had been replenished and the ammunition was sufficient.

He prepared to show the enemy weakness, and then during the interval of the retreat of the first squadron, he let the second squadron and tanks quickly enter the battle and launch the most violent attack.

When Yamazaki was in high spirits.

Behind the front line.

A bunch of Japanese technicians arrived here.

The leader is clearly Shibata Shou.

After solving the problem of torpedo depth determination, Shibata was directly promoted to colonel and is currently the head of the ordnance industry department, responsible for formulating and supervising new weapons research plans.

It was he who pushed the empire's latest fleet of more than twenty tanks onto the battlefield this time.

As for the purpose...
"The enemy's anti-tank artillery is actually not very technical." "The armor-piercing capability is about the same as the German standard anti-tank artillery."

"The Americans, the British and the Germans have similar technologies, and the Dutch are a little worse, but they buy weapons from these two countries, so they are similar."

"Considering that these countries are all potential enemies of the empire."

"Plus, the Empire's technological level is insufficient. We must quickly develop tanks that can block enemy artillery fire and help the Imperial Locust Army win on the battlefield."

"We have no way to obtain German anti-tank artillery, and our transportation capacity is limited. We need to transport precious other materials and technical equipment, but we can use the enemy's artillery to test tanks."

"As long as we have tanks that can block Tubal Road's artillery, we can block American artillery."

Shibata Shou said.

"I don't know if we can block Tubal Road's artillery."

Although the armor thickness of the new Type 1 medium tank has not increased, the tilt angle of the armor has been improved, and external track pads have been added, giving it an even higher level of defense.

···
At noon that day.

Position south of Ze County.

"Company commander, the Japanese are coming."

"About a full squadron."

At this time, stationed at the position south of Ze County was the first company of the 1046th Regiment, which had only been established for three months. The 1046th Regiment was a basic regiment. In fact, regiments with thousand-digit numbers were all basic regiments.

The Third Battalion of the 772nd Regiment, after crippling the Yamazaki Brigade, retreated to Ze County for repairs.

"A full squadron?"

"Ready to fight."

The company commander's face hardened.

The first company of the 1046th Regiment has a total strength of people. Although the losses can be replenished in time, there are currently only people on the position who can fight.

A full squadron of Japs has a total strength of up to 200 Japs.

After leaving a platoon in reserve, the company commander led two platoons on his own and went up to the position.

Although the Japs are a squadron, they have more troops than a company.

But it can be blocked continuously.

After so many battles, the structure of the position south of Ze County has become more and more perfect. With the help of perfect defenses, it is easy to block a Japanese squadron.

Moreover, the Japs have been exhausted after fighting for so long. Since the Japs surrendered last time, the latest attack has not even been supported by artillery fire, let alone artillery preparations.

The battle went as expected by the first company commander.

Without artillery preparations, a Japanese squadron slowly launched an attack, testing step by step and attacking step by step. Once it was found that the direction of attack was difficult to break through and it was unable to suppress the enemy's firepower points and continue to break through, they quickly changed the direction of attack and never attacked forcefully.

Although this type of attack does not put as much pressure on the defending troops as a strong attack, it is better in that it suffers less casualties.

Of course, the defensive force casualties were also small.

Finally, after more than two hours of attack, the Japanese squadron chose to retreat, and the first company commander breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there were two companies of reserve teams in the rear, and even the third battalion of the 772nd Regiment, the veteran main force in the Taiyue base area, in Ze County, he was still very nervous.

It's not that I'm worried about the position being taken.

Instead, they were worried that the troops would suffer too many casualties. Fortunately, in this battle, although many people were injured, twelve of them, three of whom were seriously injured, no soldiers died.

He didn't know the Japanese casualties yet. They were definitely more than the First Company, but not much more. The attacking Japanese were very careful and vigilant.

Generally speaking.

After the Japs attack for the first time, there will be a period of time before they continue to attack.

"Report the position situation to the regiment headquarters."

So after the battle ended, one platoon was left to repair the position and ordered to remain on alert. The first company commander led another company to leave the position and ordered the correspondent to report the situation to the regiment headquarters.

But just as the company commander led his team out of the position, more than two hundred Japanese soldiers and three tanks appeared on the position in the distance.

One after another artillery shells also fell on the position south of Ze County.

"Third Platoon, reserve team, company headquarters, follow me."

"Apply to the regiment headquarters for a heavy machine gun."

The first company commander quickly led all the troops back to the position and ordered at the same time.

Although the troops are equipped with 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, due to insufficient numbers, only the main regiments are currently spread to companies, and other troops can only be spread to battalions. In the four-digit numbered basic regiments, since there is no battalion-level establishment, heavy machine guns are only available to companies. Can be equipped to the group.

Each regiment has three units, moving down to the company level when necessary.

Thanks to the walkie-talkie, the rear regiment's fire company immediately carried the heavy machine gun with armor-piercing ammunition.

at the same time.

The regiment's four 82 mortars began to fire intensively at the position. One shell after another landed in front of the position. The rising explosion wave and sputtering debris blocked the Japanese attack.

Although the armor of the new Type 82 medium tank is much thicker than that of other Japanese tanks, it can ignore direct hits from 1046 mortar shells, and the 120th Regiment does not have mortars.

But not the Japanese infantry following the tanks.

The Japs were not accompanied by armored infantry fighting vehicles, and the attack speed immediately slowed down.

Although Yamazaki was arrogant and arrogant, he also understood that the tanks could not be separated from the infantry support, and the attack speed would immediately slow down.

But the Japs were still slowly advancing their attack.

However, the purpose of the mortar is not to block the Japanese attack, but to buy time for the heavy machine gun.

Within five minutes, three ordinary military mules carrying three 12.7 mm heavy machine guns came to the position.

Although ordinary military mules are similar to other mules in terms of load capacity, their ability to be emotionally stable on the front line under heavy artillery fire, and they will not run around even if they are injured, and their ability to control them is far inferior to even military horses.

Anti-tank bunkers have been built in the position.

Dong Dong Dong··

However, as the three heavy machine guns opened fire, even the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets could not penetrate the fifty millimeters of frontal armor, let alone the large inclination and additional tracks.

"Yoshi."

Seeing this scene, Old Devil Yamazaki was immediately overjoyed.

"attack!"

He quickly waved his samurai sword and shouted:

"Suppress the enemy's machine guns, charge forward, charge forward."

"The heavy machine gun is aimed at the tank tracks, and the remaining firepower suppresses the Japanese infantry."

'Remaining troops, retreat. '

When the commander of the 1046th regiment learned the news, he immediately organized his troops to change their tactics. While covering fire to suppress the speed of the Japanese attack, he ordered the troops to retreat and asked for help from the garrison at the rear.

Just three tanks.

The 1046th Regiment can hold on.

Tanks are not invincible.

Explosive packs, heavy machine gun flank attacks, bombing tracks, etc., there are many ways. Although the 1046th Regiment is a new unit, there are also veterans, and the new recruits are just inexperienced, but their morale is not low at all.

But.

According to orders from superiors.

The position south of Ze County does not need to be defended and can be abandoned if necessary.

···
rear.

The third battalion of the 772nd Regiment.

"tank?!"

"The position south of Ze County was attacked by three new Japanese tanks?"

"There are also new Japanese tanks in the surrounding positions?"

The third battalion commander's eyes lit up as he looked at the two 75mm anti-tank artillery and a thousand rounds of artillery shells that had just been transported from the rear.

What a little devil,

Give me a pillow when you feel sleepy!

"Haha, get ready!"

All the commanders of the three battalions jumped up. (End of chapter)
