Rise from the sword

Chapter 230 Armor Piercing
The cold winter at the beginning of 41.

Su De is holding a secret contract and playing superficial brothers. The power of the Blitzkrieg armor cluster has not yet amazed the world. As for the Battle of France, it is not that the Germans are too powerful, but the French are too hip.

This kind of opponent can also be used by the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire.

Against such a world background, even though they were severely taught by Zhukov at Nomenkan, the group of old antiques at the top of the Japanese army were still immersed in the idea of ​​​​infantry first.

In their eyes, the infantry is the first in the army, and everything in the army should serve the infantry.

Under the guidance of this high-level thinking, led to the cooperative tactics of the little devils in this period, playing a prominent dish. Armored vehicles and tanks have always been defined as auxiliary infantry.

From the devil's point of view, an armored vehicle is a mobile machine gun fortress.

After discovering the crater left by the 82 mortars, the Devils Railway Patrol Squadron who came to support increased their vigilance. Two armored vehicles lined up along the railway, and the searchlight on the turret rotated to illuminate the front and sides. Nearly a hundred people around The devils hid on the flanks or rear of the armored vehicle and held up their guns for vigilance, while the whole team moved forward slowly.

Standard Japanese armor tactics: support infantry operations.

"Pay attention to concealment."

In front of the railway, Li Yunlong told the people around to continue to hide to avoid being discovered by the little devil's searchlight.

Then he said to the monk:

"Take a few people to touch the side. After the devil and us exchange fire, you attack the devil from the flank and try to kill all the devil's two armored vehicles in the first round."

"Without the armored vehicles, these little devils are a piece of cake."

More than 100 devils approached in a skirmish line. If it weren't for the two armored vehicles in the middle, Li Yunlong would have brought people up. How dare this little force be arrogant in front of him?Tired of life!

However, the armored vehicles of the devils are the same as the gun towers. They have strong firepower, and the machine gun bullets cannot penetrate them, and the hard charge will cause a lot of damage.

"Yes."

The monk held a large hand cannon envied by the regiment in one hand, and a row of spare magazines stuck in his waist, his expression and tone were indescribably solemn.

Although the data indicated that his gun could definitely penetrate the armored vehicle, and the monk also believed in the data in the manual, he still maintained a high degree of nervousness. After all, it was not an easy task to be within 100 meters of the Devil's armored vehicle.

There are devils inside the armored vehicle, there are shooting holes, and there are machine guns on the armored turret. Its own firepower is equivalent to a devil unit, and there are a lot of devils around. The distance of 100 meters, with the marksmanship of devils, as long as they are spotted, they will react a little slower , is a hole.

Even though it was night, you couldn't see clearly from more than 20 meters away, but the Devil armored vehicle had searchlights, and the turret's rotation speed was not slow. Once it was illuminated at night, it was basically over.

The monk didn't want to die with the Devil's armored vehicle.

Therefore, this time the action must be fast, and the position should be shifted immediately after shooting.The monk warned himself in his heart.

"Come with me."

Leading two squads of soldiers, the monk groped into the side woods under the cover of night.

····
At this time, Captain Ono, the commander of the Japanese railway patrol team, also poked his head out from the entrance of the armored vehicle.

He followed the direction of the searchlight and looked forward vigilantly. At this time, the Japanese captain's expression was also full of dignity, with a pair of squinted eyes staring at the front, without the arrogance common to little devils.

There are various indications that the Komatsu brigade stationed here is very likely to have been wiped out.

Although he usually looks down on these second-line brigades that maintain law and order, these people have poor combat effectiveness, lack of serious training, and insufficient combat experience. They are simply embarrassing for the imperial army.

But after all, it is also a regular army of the imperial army. It has received professional military training from the empire, and has fought guerrillas on the battlefield here for several years. Even if it is not as good as them, its combat effectiveness will not be inferior.

A brigade of 500 people has no problem at all with only one or two regiments against weak opponents, and it can even be suppressed.

However, such a brigade was suspected to have been wiped out in just an hour or so, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

I'm afraid this group of enemies is unusual. Not only are there a large number of enemies, but they only take the elite of the army, such as the Li Yunlong regiment that caused the empire to suffer many times.

A series of victories made Li Yunlong's name resound throughout Shanxi and even the devils in North China, and he was honored as the strongest regiment-level army in the Republic of China.

"Slow down, start guarding around the armored vehicle, and shoot immediately if you find a target."

Captain Ohno commanded the convoy to slow down, and told the soldiers to pay attention to the ground in front of the convoy: "Pay attention to the ground, the enemy may plant bombs on the ground, and report immediately after finding any suspicious signs."

Fortunately, I have armored vehicles.

Although Captain Ohno was serious, he didn't feel the slightest panic or fear.

Only take people without anti-aircraft guns, and mortars with poor accuracy are almost useless against armored vehicles. As long as you don’t let the death squads of this group approach with grenades, as long as you pay attention to whether there are bombs buried on the ground, your squadron will never fail. .

The armored vehicles of the Empire are invincible to the man.

Persist for more than an hour, and reinforcements from far and wide around the empire will arrive quickly. At that time, no matter how many troops there are here, no matter whether they are elite or not, they will definitely be no match for the Imperial Japanese Army.

"Hi."

Under his order, the formation of the surrounding devils changed.

Five or six devils walked to the front of the armored vehicle, avoided the area illuminated by the lights, bent down, and carefully observed the ground in front of them, while the rest of the devils spread out to alert the surroundings.

As the armored patrol squadron advanced, the devils found corpses strewn all over the railway in the distance. Judging from their clothes, these were soldiers stationed at the Xiaosong Brigade in Wendian Village.

Among them, two [-]-type infantry guns that were blown up can even be seen.

"It's the artillery squad of Komatsu Battalion."

Captain Ono's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw this scene.

Judging from the traces of the battlefield, the artillery squad was surrounded by bomb craters, obviously engaged in an artillery battle with the enemy, and there were quite a few bomb craters, indicating that the enemy's firepower might have exceeded his expectations.

Looking at the chaotic cannons and shell wreckage all over the floor, he could imagine the situation at that time.

In the fierce artillery battle with the enemy, the artillery team of the Komatsu Battalion was suddenly attacked by enemy infantry from the rear. The artillery team, which was too late to deal with it, suffered heavy losses. Command, destroy the shells and cannons in time to prevent the weapons from falling into the hands of the enemy.

Since the artillery squadron was completely wiped out in the attack, it meant that the other infantry squadrons of the Komatsu Battalion were also struggling at that time, so they were unable to support the artillery squadron.

And, that's one thing for sure.

The Komatsu brigade was indeed wiped out.

Even the artillery squadron, the main firepower of the brigade, was destroyed, and the fate of other infantry squadrons can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Captain Ohno quickly retracted into the armored vehicle and said to the devil in charge of communication: "Send a report to Taiyuan, basically confirming that all members of the Komatsu Brigade stationed in Wendian Village have died for the country."

···
"Yo, the wings spread out, the little devil is quite vigilant."

Holding up the binoculars, Li Yunlong could clearly see the devil's movement because of the searchlight.

Seeing the Devils Railway Patrol Squadron who were vigilant around and slowing down their progress, he clicked his tongue and said in a tone full of emotion: "Is this still a little devil?"

Looking back at the beginning, how arrogant was the little devil?
A single armored vehicle dared to rampage in the base area, and a dozen devils dared to launch a raid. Why are you so cautious now?Where did the invincible Imperial Japanese Army go?

However, Li Yunlong had to admit that the little devil's vigilance had indeed caused him a lot of trouble.

The ghosts spreading from the two wings of the armored vehicle made it difficult for the monk to get close to the armored vehicle, and when shooting from a long distance, the accuracy of the bullets could not be guaranteed, and it might not be able to penetrate the armor.

But it's just a hassle.

"Let the artillery company fire to disrupt the little devil's formation."

Li Yunlong quickly issued a targeted order.

Although in the battle just now, the two base numbers carried by the artillery company this time, that is, more than 100 shells per gun, were all exhausted. After all, an entire brigade of devils can be wiped out in an hour. cost.

But there are dozens of them.

After a while, with the sound of shelling from the rear, more than a dozen explosive fireballs shot up one after another in the devil's armored convoy. Several unlucky devils were directly killed, and the formation of the Japanese army was also torn apart.

In the face of shelling, the little devil has to dodge.

However, the shelling density is very low. After all, there are not many shells. In order to maintain the artillery fire, the artillery fires very slowly.

"beat."

Seeing the chance of the little devil's confusion, Li Yunlong greeted and opened fire.

In an instant, dozens of machine guns and hundreds of rifles formed a dense rain of bullets covering the devils. Amidst the sound of ding-ding-bang-bang, many devils who did not escape in time were directly killed.

"idiot."

Captain Ono, who was hiding in the armored vehicle, heard the sound of bullets hitting the armor and the screams of the squadron soldiers, and suddenly became furious: "Rush over, rush over, their bullets can't penetrate the armor of the Empire."

"Grenade grenades, heavy machine guns, suppress enemy machine guns."

"Watch out for enemy death squads and mines."

During this period, Captain Ohno did not forget to command his subordinates to counterattack and maintained a high degree of vigilance.

However, when the railway patrol team fired at Li Yunlong's troops with their armored vehicles, they didn't notice the monks and his party who charged from the flank.

The night gave perfect cover, and the guards on the two wings of the armored vehicles that spread out before were also deformed due to the battle with the independent regiment, and became full of loopholes.

"80 meters."

After visually measuring the distance, the monk took a deep breath, clenched the two cannons tightly in his hands, then held his breath, rushed out of the haystack, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger.

Dongdongdong... Amidst the dull gunshots, accompanied by dazzling muzzle fireworks, fourteen rounds of thick 12.7mm bullets flew towards the Devils armored vehicle.

The small searchlights on the front of the car make the Devil's armored car very conspicuous, and the enemy is clearly visible, making aiming very simple.

In the end, at a distance of 80 meters, twelve of the fourteen bullets hit the side of the armored vehicle. The thin 12.7mm armor could not stop the huge power of the [-]mm bullet, and it was pierced through more than ten large holes in an instant.

After penetrating the steel plate, the warhead raged inside the armored vehicle, and the remaining power still directly shattered the personnel inside the vehicle.

However, unlike shells and grenades, bullets penetrated the armored vehicle without much movement, and the only sound was drowned out by the violent gunfire ahead, so the devil did not notice that his indestructible armored vehicle was penetrated at the first time.

Even the screams were drowned out.

"Enemy on the side, shoot, shoot."

After seeing the muzzle fireworks, the devil squad leader who was in charge of the side defense immediately directed several devils to shoot at the monk's exposed position.

But the monk had expected it, and immediately shifted his position after shooting, and hid in the woods again. At a distance of 80 meters at night, without lighting, the devils could not find them at all.

When the leader of the devil team on the flank was expecting the armored vehicle to turn the armored tower and illuminate the flank to destroy the enemy, he noticed that the armored vehicle of the empire around him seemed to have stopped moving.

The engine was still running and the searchlights were still on, but the tracks had stopped. Although there were dense gunshots around him, he still heard moans coming from inside.

"Captain Ono?"

"Captain Ono?"

The small black hole on the side of the armored vehicle, which could almost fit a hand, made the team leader feel bad.

After so many years of fighting on the homeland, it was the first time for the team leader to see a hole of this size pierced through an armored vehicle. It was not an anti-aircraft gun or explosives, it seemed like an anti-tank gun.

Is that the only one armed with an anti-tank gun?

When Captain Ohno, whose face was covered in blood, just got out of the armored vehicle, the monk jumped out again. This time, he attacked another armored vehicle at a slanted position of more than 60 meters.

Boom boom boom...

The muffled gunfire sounded again.

The second armored vehicle had less luck. The bullet seemed to have damaged the internal structure. The engine stalled on the spot and the searchlight went out.

The little devil's armored vehicle is really too hip.

However, this time the devil reacted very quickly. As soon as the monk's gun fired, the devil's bullets also flew over, and the two covering soldiers beside him were caught off guard.

"Come on."

Seeing that the two armored vehicles of the devils had stopped, Li Yunlong ordered the troops to charge. Hundreds of soldiers rushed forward, and at the same time the artillery company also fired the last few shells.

boom boom boom

Without armored vehicles, a squadron of devils had little ability to resist against the three companies led by Li Yunlong. However, because there was no encirclement, more than 20 devils in this squadron escaped in the end.

"Monk, your gun is really powerful." After the battle, a soldier looked at the big hole on the side of the armored vehicle, and said in a tone of envy, "Not only did it penetrate the steel plate, but it also killed the devil inside."

"Hey hey..."

The monk smirked and touched his hand cannon without speaking.

"withdraw."

After tidying up the battlefield, Li Yunlong ordered the troops to retreat.

After two battles, although nearly [-] devils were almost wiped out, the eight companies he led also suffered heavy losses. The casualties were much less than those of the devils, and the ammunition was almost consumed.

Time to retreat.
