Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

The door is sealed, the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

In the busy combat staff room, Cheng Shifa stood alone in the center of the room, staring at the military sand table in front of him, looking very excited.

There was no way, this operation was related to his famous battle.

Many people will never get such an opportunity in their lifetime, and it is difficult for anyone to remain absolutely calm.

"Old Ding, how long do you think it will take for the comrades of the armored regiment to complete the second step of our plan?"

"Forty-eight hours? Or longer?"

Hearing the call of his old comrade, Ding Wei first handed the document in his hand to the staff officer next to him, and then walked to the other side in two steps.

Following Cheng Shifa's gaze, he pointed to the enemy fortifications in the northwest of Jiyuan, and said with a slightly exaggerated expression:

"Forty-eight hours? You really dare to think. The 12th Army of the Japanese has stockpiled more than 30,000 people at the gate of northern Henan. Even if it is more than 30,000 pigs, we can't catch them all in two days and two nights."

"What's more, there are several rivers along the way. Even with the assistance of engineers, crossing the river is a problem."

"But considering the super mobility and combat effectiveness of the armored regiment, I think 72 hours is a more reasonable number."

In modern warfare, except for some special situations that require squatting in high-level fortresses for defense, the armies of various countries have repeatedly emphasized the importance of mobility.

Once you lose mobility, no matter how powerful your firepower is, there is a high probability that you will fall into the dilemma of passive attack.

On the contrary, excellent mobility can even make one unit serve as several units.

Facing the carefully arranged tortoise shells of the Japanese army in Jiyuan, Cheng Shifa and Ding Wei decisively sent the most elite armored units from both wings of the battlefield after the artillery preparation was completed.

You are called Maginot. Only a fool would choose to fight to the death in front of the defense line.

Even if we can't bypass it from the side, we have to seek opportunities to attack from the weakest defense.

Don't you think so, Lao Dai?

Just as Ding and Cheng were deducing, a communicator with a happy face walked into the combat meeting room and handed them a telegram from the front line.

"Report! The first and second armored regiments called!"

"The troops of the two commanders Gao and Liu have defeated the first wave of enemies, and they have now officially entered the hinterland of the devils!"

In the ground battles during World War II, only tanks had the ability to rush to the front of the enemy with firepower when all the machine guns and artillery of the defenders had not been suppressed.

The strategic depth of the northern Henan region is not very large. The armored forces of the Eighth Route Army can rush forward to the end without worrying about the supply lines getting longer and longer, which makes their side become a spent force.

This is the reason why the first and second regiments advanced so quickly.

Hearing this, Cheng Shifa slapped the edge of the sand table with a slap, his face full of excitement.

Then he personally moved the small red flag symbolizing the armored forces forward one square.

If someone looked down from a high altitude at this time, they would find that the fiercely attacking Armored Regiments 1 and 2 were like the sharp claws of a giant crab, fiercely clamping towards the enemy's throat

"The two wings are interlaced, encircling the central enemy, what a pincer attack!"

"Pass my order! Let the 3rd and 59th Cavalry Regiments on standby in the rear set off now. Fill the empty front line and don't give the enemy any chance to counterattack!"

Seeing that the signalman was about to leave, Ding Wei hurriedly grabbed him and added:

"By the way, send someone to bring the prisoners back! As for the public trial, we'll talk about it after the war!"

"Yes!"

·······

Faced with the puppet troops surrendering in batches in front of him, the third battalion commander of the Armored Regiment 1 shook his head helplessly. After a moment, he stood on the roof of his command vehicle and shouted loudly with great dominance:

"All traitors and second devils, listen to me! Our Eighth Route Army accepts your surrender!"

"But! Get out of the way now! Our troops are not responsible for collecting prisoners. Infantry and cavalry will come to accept your surrender later!"

"If anyone attempts to escape! You will bear the consequences yourself!"

"Ah?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a chattering sound in the puppet army group.

How rare it is! Everyone has been a traitor for so long, but this is the first time they have seen the Eighth Route Army that doesn't even want prisoners.

They are all achievements, why did they give them away?

However, they didn't have any idea of ​​escaping.

In the battle just now, two squadrons of Japanese led 1,500 imperial army, and under the cover of semi-buried bunkers and artillery towers, they couldn't even hold on for half an hour.

With this kind of combat power, who dares to run?

What's more, the speed of two legs can't compare to four wheels.

Thinking of this, the traitors all looked at the armored vehicle parked not far away.

That's right, it was a four-wheeled light armored vehicle produced by the Awakening Brave Tiger system and modified from the Sd.Kfz.222.

Compared with the original German III, the Shandong Kongfuzi 222 of the reconnaissance company under the Eighth Route Army Armored Regiment not only changed its appearance, but also increased a little bit of protection while ensuring that the tonnage and mobility remained unchanged.

Under normal circumstances, the main task of wheeled vehicles is reconnaissance, and to provide a little fire support to infantry units, and at most bully the SAS jeep.

However, due to the unique matching mechanism of the Asian battlefield, the Shandong Kongfuzi 222 with enhanced armor can completely block the strafing of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and can even carry a 20mm cannon and heavy machine gun to temporarily resist the line.

After clearing a passage forward, the entire armored regiment's 88 Cicada tanks continued to advance, followed closely by the light tank battalion and two motorized infantry battalions riding trucks to cooperate in combat.

Of course, as the elite of the Eighth Route Army, the support company of the First Armored Regiment is naturally inhumane.

With an armored reconnaissance company, a motorized artillery company, an engineering company, an armored communications company, and regular armored service units and logistics supply and maintenance units to assist, the combat effectiveness must be guaranteed.

The above is not yet complete. After all, the previous organization is still an experimental version. Vacancies such as the anti-aircraft artillery company and the anti-tank company have not been filled by other troops.

Just as the large force was about to leave, a puppet army brigade commander suddenly had an idea.

The man knelt directly in front of the Eighth Route Army soldier guarding him, and saved his legs and shouted loudly in an attempt to attract the attention of others.

"Eighth Master! I want to make meritorious service for my crime! I have important military intelligence to report! It's about the deployment of the Japanese devils a few kilometers away!" (End of this chapter)
