Generally, the front armor of a tank is the thickest, followed by the side armor, the rear is slightly thinner, and the top and bottom are the thinnest.

  The front of the tank is most vulnerable to attack, so the front is the thickest, and the bottom that is least vulnerable to attack is made the thinnest, in order to exchange the minimum weight for maximum protection.

  The anti-tank 240-gram landmine is designed to attack the dead spot of the tank, and it is fatal with one blow.

  During World War II, when tanks encountered such a situation, they would stagnate.

  This time, Dizhou Libing paid a lot of money.

  "Xiao Yejun, what do you think of my arrangement?"

  Dressed in military uniform, he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, who appeared beside Ono Jiro.

  Ono Jiro was his chief of staff. Hearing this, he immediately said solemnly: "Your Excellency, the layout of the fortifications is perfect. Whether it is trenches and foxholes, light or heavy firepower points, and light and dark fortifications, they are all very coherent. No matter where the Chinese come from Attacking in any direction will suffer heavy blows, and tens of thousands of anti-tank mines are placed in the outer positions, which can completely stop the pace of the Jagged Army. , to ensure the transportation line in the rear. Such an arrangement can be called a classic arrangement for a long-lasting/protracted battle.”

  Dizhou Libing held his hands behind his back and smiled. It was indeed a protracted battle. He almost transferred almost half of the engineers from the North China Garrison, and also dropped a heavy artillery brigade.Building fortifications overnight, repairing machine gun forts, and temporary heavy artillery forts.

  Tianjin is a strategic location of the Great Japanese Empire, and there is nothing to lose. .

Chapter 225 The Difficult Dizhou Libing

  "Mr. Xiao Ye, you have great vision. Yes, I have arranged this based on the historical battles of the Iron Blood Army. The Iron Blood Army is very good at field battles. Only in this way can the pace of the Iron Blood Army be restrained." Dizhou Libing's face floated a trace confident smile,

  "Looking at the tactics of the iron-blooded army throughout the history, there are only a few steps. The cooperation of aircraft, tanks, cannons and infantry seems to be no tricks. However, these simple steps reflect their strength. Because they already have A very mature industry, and a strong logistics transportation line. Our army equipment is really no match for the Jagged Army, but these few steps are enough to suppress us."

  Jiro Ono nodded heavily: "It's really hard to imagine how the Jagged Army grew up on the territory of the Great Japanese Empire, and when did they get into our hinterland in the first place."

  The smile on Dizhou Libing's face faltered slightly, and he said: "It seems that the whereabouts of the iron-blooded army to the vicinity of Rehe is a mystery. How did they bypass the Yellow River and come to Rehe? Once they entered Inner Mongolia, they seemed to be in a hurry. Disappeared, you must know that the Kwantung Army is not a waste, under so many eyes, they disappeared, what did they rely on? No matter how disguised, there are clues."

  No one could figure it out, only Tang Qingyu understood that there is something called a system in this world.

  From the moment he entered Inner Mongolia, he turned on the shielding function. All hostile forces within five kilometers of his location would not be aware of his existence. However, this shielding function can only be used three times in a lifetime, and once it is turned on, it can maintain two moon!

  Dizhou Libing looked into the distance, wanting to see through the appearance of the entire Sixth Division of the Iron Blood Army, and said indifferently: "Our position is constantly extending and expanding outwards, and the distance between troops is getting larger. No matter how many Chinese people have field artillery, one There will be only a few casualties, not many, and it should be able to last for a long time. Only follow-up reinforcements will come, and it will basically be a tug of war. But...〃「…」

  Jiro Ono asked curiously, "But what?"

  Dizhou Libing said: "However, this requires the cooperation of several divisions in the south of Tianjin. If they can't resist the attack of China's first theater at the same time, we will be in trouble."

  Jiro Ono understood that, indeed, the Chen soldiers on both sides were gradually upgrading, and if they could not withstand the forces in the first theater, they would face a pinch attack from both sides.

  "No matter what, this act of holding the ground must be done. In the next period of time, we must be prepared to be passively beaten." Dizhou Libing said in a deep voice.

  ………………

  "Dizhou Libing, do you think that with your arrangement, I can't do anything about you?"

  Looking at the layout of Little Japan on the holographic map, Tang Qingyu gritted his teeth, as if there was really no other way but Chen Bing kept hitting them with shells and planes.

  However, Tianjin is not his focus for the time being. The huge increase in troops, artillery adjustment, and aircraft transfer is not worth the candle.

  The defense of Wuhan is already in the stage of counter-offensive, and it is estimated that by October, this general battle involving more than one million troops invested by both sides will end.

  Due to the rise of Tang Qingyu, the army and air force that restrained the little devil in the north, the casualties of the Wuhan Defense Warring States Army in this world were much smaller than those in the previous life.

  Tang Qingyu stared fiercely at the area around Tangshan Pheasant Tuo, "Little Japan counts you very well, and I don't have time to play with you now. There are two generals, Li Yunlong and Xu Hu, in Tianjin, and Dizhou Libing can't do anything for the time being." .When I free up my hand later, I will come to you again.”

  As for Li Yunlong and Xu Hu, he didn't intend to interfere, they just discussed it, as long as they can stabilize the situation, they can play whatever they want.

  At this time, his gaze was withdrawn from the battlefield in Tianjin, and he began to go west, falling into Guisui.

  Fu Zuoyi was played so hard by the three divisions that he was almost forced to be beaten. The supplies of the Kwantung Army came from Mongolia and entered Guisui, so that the three divisions had supplies.

  "The best thing to fight now is Guisui. Compared with Dizhou Libing, the three divisions of Little Japan are not at the same level. Fu Zuoyi has called me three times to ask me to send troops. I don't seem to be sorry if I don't come out at this time. And Fu Zuoyi is a good person, if I can win him over and use him alone, then my strength will be greatly enhanced."

  Looking at the map, Tang Qingyu had already lit a cigar, took a puff in his mouth, the smoke slowly swallowed into his stomach, and then came out from his closed mouth again.

  "...Okay, let's do it this way. Since Dizhou Libing wants to stalemate, then we can go to a stalemate. As long as the front line is not lost, we have something to play with. Guisui is a fertile land. The north is the plateau, mainly the Gobi Desert. It is rich in mineral deposits, and the famous mining capital Baiyun Obo is located here. The Yellow River runs through the central part, forming the Hetao area, which is divided into the front and the back. The Ordos Plateau is the main body, and the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan is in this area."

  Tang Qingyu's eyes flickered. If this is taken down, the strength will increase greatly in the future. To the west of Guisui is Ningxia, and Ma Hongkui is very fat.

  This person first attached himself to Feng Yuxiang, and then to Chiang Kai-shek. He served as the chairman of Ningxia Province for 17 years.He was awarded the rank of General of the Army, and won the first-class Yunhui Medal and the Victory Medal.

  During the Anti-Japanese War, he was the deputy commander-in-chief of the 8th theater and the commander-in-chief of the 17th Group (Mawang's) Army.

  This person and the Northwest Three Horses became one of the Northwest Four Horses, monopolized the military and administration, and plundered an unknown amount of money.

  If Guisui is swallowed, Ma Hongkui will be the next step.

  Many minerals in Ningxia can be mined in a legitimate way.

  But thinking about it, it takes time to plan. The three divisions have been resting for half a month. Although they are not full, there are still more than [-] people. If they want to eat more than [-] people, they still need to plan slowly. .

  More importantly, it is necessary to mobilize troops and intercept Japanese reinforcements and supplies!

  This mobilization will take at least half a month, and to intercept the Japanese reinforcements, soldiers must detour through Mongolia. This requires greeting the polar bear of the Soviet Union.

  ………….

Chapter 226 Stalin's keen sense of smell!

  Kremlin.

  The heavily guarded sentry posts, with straight collars of guards, add a bit of spirituality to this long-standing palace. With the first ray of sunlight in the morning, it seems to blow away the political purges that have just passed through. brought dust.

  The polar bears entrenched in the north are constantly killing/killing the bears in the den who do not accept it, trying to dominate Siberia.

  At this time, Stalin was leaning back in his chair, looking at the letter in front of him. This was a letter from a warlord in the poor and troubled China to the south.

  He is also more interested in that warlord recently, because his rise is so fast that people can't react at all.

  It was because he couldn't react that he paid so much attention.

  Now that warlord's territory is constantly expanding, and people's livelihood work is also done very well. It seems that the people under his rule are living very well.

  Stalin felt a little depressed, because he felt that the warlord was a sore planted by the Germans, and this sore was gradually expanding.

  But even though he was paying attention, he despised it from the bottom of his heart. He thought that a sore would always be a sore, and when the time came, he could easily take it down by digging out the flesh.

  Now the warlord wrote to him, asking him to allow the warlord's army to pass through the Mongolian territory and stop the Japanese reinforcements.

  The Japanese knew about it long ago from Mongolia, Stalin, but he didn't want to pay attention to it, because it was beyond his reach, and he just needed to guard against the Japanese, not to mention that Mongolia was originally a buffer zone, and he always turned a blind eye to it.

  Stalin, who is quite sensitive to the region, smelled something different in it. He detoured Mongolia to intercept the Japanese reinforcements. Where did they intercept them?Is it intercepted in Mongolia's territory or in Guisui's territory?

  This is a question worth discussing. The paws of this kid in the south have recently extended to Mongolia, and a cavalry division has been dangling on the border of Mongolia.

  "The Chinese are really cunning if they want to use Mongolia. They want to occupy some territory in Mongolia." Si/Dalin threw the envelope casually, and said to the secretary: "Reply to the little warlord in the south and tell him that he can bypass Mongolia. , but it must be a battle outside Mongolia. If you don’t listen to dissuasion (bbec), you will bear the consequences. At the same time, tell him to withdraw the cavalry division on the Mongolian border.”

  This cavalry division is quite annoying, occupying a town, and the foreigners of the Jagged Army are still taking root there, and they are developing well.Some Mongols have already taken refuge in them, which is not bad, Mongolia is his/Dalin's territory, how can others get their hands on it?

  …………

  Li Yunlong is very old-fashioned. The little Japan on the opposite side has nowhere to attack. He doesn't know where to attack. The defense is extremely tight, and all kinds of machine gun fire are well hidden. He studied for a long time before deciding to go first. Test the strength of the 46th Division.

  For a while, the roar of heavy artillery rang out. It was the sound of a 150mm caliber howitzer. The sharp sound pierced the five-kilometer sky and slammed into Little Japan's position.

  However, the 46th Division is different from the 48th Division, and even different from many divisions. They are all veterans with countless Chinese blood on their hands. They have rich combat experience. Sound, you know what caliber and where the shell's foothold is.

  In addition, their dispersion is relatively open, so the casualties are not large.

  The artillery fire was spreading, Ono Jiro inspected the position against the artillery fire without fear, inspected the position, and made up for the omissions on the position.

  "Hoo...boom! There was a screaming sound above his head. Hearing this sound, Ono Jiro should be a foothold not far away, but he didn't hide. Since the Japanese-German War, he didn't know what to encounter. No matter how many times he has been here, he has already experienced countless life and death, so for him, it is commonplace.

  But because he didn't hide, that doesn't mean the others didn't hide. A veteran soldier got up instantly and yelled at Jiro Ono: "The Chinese are firing, sir, hurry up and find a place to hide!"

  As soon as the words fell, a shell exploded nearby, and the powerful air wave instantly raised dust all over the sky, covering Jiro Ono's body with a thick layer of dust.

  Looking at the huge crater somewhere, Ono Jiro squinted his eyes and said, "The artillery fire of the Chinese people is still very strong and full of power."

  Turning his head, he snorted coldly at the veteran who kept shaking his head and shaking the dirt: "As an imperial soldier, the most important thing is to be calm and face life and death calmly. You are so flustered and flustered. Embarrassment to Imperial soldiers."

  "Hi!"

  The old soldier was so frightened that he dared not speak.

  Jiro Ono waved his hands lazily, and went to inspect other places calmly. The artillery fire from the mere Chinese people was not enough to make him look shocked.

  The iron-blooded army's artillery fire lasted for half an hour before the roar and explosion stopped.

  Ono Jiro was like a firefighter, shuttling around, where the fortifications were blown down, he would direct the engineers to repair them, and the shells exploded around him several times, but it did not affect his progress at all.

  There was a lot of artillery fire. Although there were not many casualties, some machine gun fortifications were blown up, and some anti-tank infantry mines were blown up. Even a well-hidden infantry gun was blown up by mistake. Components.

  Regarding the strength of the Jagged Army, Jiro Ono had already prepared for it. A 150mm caliber howitzer, even one made of reinforced concrete, could blow it up. What's more, the current relatively simple fortifications are already considered very good for such an attack.

  As soon as the gunfire stopped, he quickly led the engineers, deployed anti-tank mines, and then organized his men to enter the foxholes to prevent the infantry from the Jagged Army on the opposite side from attacking.

  …………

  At this time, Li Yunlong was in the command post he built, watching the situation of the little devil opposite with a telescope, his face was a little livid, and he cursed: "Damn, who is the commander of the little devil opposite, why are you so stupid! There were no real casualties after being beaten up by artillery fire! The little devil is still alive and kicking!".

Chapter 227 Li Yunlong's Fire Suppression

  "Hey, Zhang Dabiao, I'm Li Yunlong. I order your 28th Regiment to cooperate with the [-]st Tank Battalion to launch a tentative attack on the southeast of the little devil."

  "Hey, Li Dazhi, I'm Li Yunlong, and I order your 27th Regiment to cover the Second Tank Battalion, to attack the little devil's southwest direction, and knock down some of the little devil's troops!"

  "Hey, the text of the book, I'm Li Yunlong, I order your 26th Regiment to cooperate with the [-]rd Battalion of the Tank Battalion, and push the mortars forward from the little devil's frontal attack!"

  The entire command post is full of Li Yunlong's roar!He couldn't sit still anymore, he decided to knock out part of the little devil's troops first.

  Immediately called Richard, so that his tank regiment does not need to approach, and shoots from 1800 meters away. Although this distance is a bit short of accuracy, it is also threatening.

  Now he is used to cannonism, you are letting him go back to the era when he was fighting for his life, and he would not do it even if he was killed. This has heavy artillery and powerful tanks, and the feeling of crushing little Japan is not based on- comparable to before.

  With an order, the entire Sixth Division moved, the artillery roared, and the tracks of the tanks turned, roaring in the direction of the little devil.

  The 28th Regiment and the 27th Regiment supported the two tank battalions and followed closely behind.

  "Is the commander of the Sixth Division Li Yunlong?" Dizhou Libing held a telescope and watched the scene ahead.

  The chief of staff, Ono Jiro, who had already inspected the position, walked into the headquarters. After hearing this, he said, "Yes, he was originally a regiment commander of the Eighth Route Army. The school, but as soon as he came to the Iron Blood Army, he changed, like a sharp steel knife, his style of fighting is extremely fierce, and there are many tricks."

  "Yaoxi, this man is experienced in using troops and is a strong enemy. The tanks are 1800 meters away from our position. When moving the fort, their mortars are also lifted up. Using the tanks as a cover, it is a good idea." Dizhou Li Bing said expressionlessly.

  That's what Li Yunlong planned. If he couldn't pry open the little devil's position, he would bombard and beat the little devil's position.

  The mortar can't exert its power at all in the position. It's better to push forward, use the tank as a shield, and bombard it as much as you want in the back, suppressing it with artillery fire.The little devil's artillery position is still 500 meters away from the position where the tank stopped, and it cannot reach the threat.

  As long as it's not side armor, it's not a thing.
