Rise from the sword

Chapter 503 This time, we have a plane.

"Regimental Commander, the front line is fighting a war. You have gone to the brigade headquarters. Who will take command?"

Li Yunlong was just about to set off when Zhang Dabiao made him stop with a word.

"Damn..."

Unable to pick up the brigade commander, Li Yunlong immediately bared his teeth, cursed, and helplessly told the monk to go to the brigade headquarters, then he walked to the table, looked at the map of the surrounding area of ​​Ping'an County, and flashed sharply:
"It's about time now."

"Ah."

Zhang Dabiao nodded:

"After six days of attack, the five companies of the Armored Battalion have all had more than three actual combats. Although the tanks suffered a lot of losses, the crew reduction was very small. Currently, there are 120 tanks that can be dispatched."

"The ammunition reserves are also very sufficient."

"The first and second battalions are also ready."

In the end, Zhang Dabiao raised his head and spoke confidently.

In February, there was a quota of [-] tons of ammunition.

"it is good."

Li Yunlong looked at his watch and exhaled loudly:
"Then let's start tonight."

"Strive to occupy Ping'an County by the end of the month, labor and management will build a hospital in Ping'an County. Well, Ping'an County, Ping'an Ping'an, this name is also very suitable for building a hospital."

Brother Chen said before that medical experts and some medical equipment will be delivered as soon as possible, but the follow-up large-scale equipment, as well as more than a dozen super-large medical equipment for scientific research, will not be delivered until the hospital is completed and the supporting facilities are complete.

Such as large diesel generators, etc.

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao stood at attention and saluted.

"Go."

Li Yunlong waved his hand.

·····
That afternoon, that is, the afternoon of February 21st.

Inside the devil's frontline headquarters.

"The Independence Regiment has finally stopped attacking."

A staff officer wiped his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Last night they organized manpower to take back the fourth and fifth positions, and the independent regiment has not launched a night attack so far, and tanks are not suitable for night attacks, which means that today passed safely.

"It should be that the tank consumption is too high, so the attack has been suspended."

A staff officer speculated:

"In the past six days, we have destroyed a total of [-] tanks. Even if they have sufficient supplies, it will be difficult to replenish them in a short time."

In the headquarters, Yamamoto did not speak, but silently glanced at the two men, and found that both of them were new staff officers, so he understood in his heart.

Newbie.

It's normal to have this thought.

After all, as far as the empire is concerned, a hundred tanks were lost in just six days. I am afraid that the base camp and the locust will call and curse people in person, and the commander will be dismissed on the spot and may even commit suicide.

But the opposite is the independent regiment, which can waste tens of thousands of tons of ammunition, build roads with tanks, and transport earthwork with half-track armored vehicles.

Will there be a shortage of these one hundred tanks?

Don't even think about it.

Yamamoto has seen it clearly in the past six days. Although the death squad he organized blew up a hundred tanks under the influence of drugs, he also discovered that the casualties of the independent regiment were actually very small.

Fifteen kilograms of explosives are powerful enough to blow up the No. [-] tank, but it is difficult to hurt the people inside. The No. [-] tank of the Independent Regiment seems to have a much stronger defense than the original German version.

He had seen the inside of a blown-up tank, which had an anti-stripping inner layer, which could effectively prevent damage from splinters.

Faced with such a situation, sometimes Yamamoto couldn't help wondering, where is the hope in this battle?

He can resist now.

The combat experience of the Tank Troop of the Independent Regiment is obviously seriously lacking, and the attacking infantry is also the same. He can see that although the training is sufficient, the actual combat experience is severely lacking, and there are many loopholes in the coordination. He can still block the attack by relying on human life to fill it. .

But in the past two days, Yamamoto has also discovered that compared to the first few days, the cost of blowing up a tank is now several times higher, and the independent regiment has begun to grow at an alarming rate.

If you continue, there is no chance of winning.

He has a lot of power left, and he can block the opponent for a long time.

There are still more than [-] imperial troops in Ping'an County, Pan County, and Yu County. They have sufficient supplies and ammunition, and their morale has not been affected much.The destruction of one hundred tanks was publicized as a big victory, which greatly stimulated morale.

But then what?

He can only exchange 200 tanks for [-] imperial troops, and when the independent regiment becomes more mature and fully utilizes the tank's firepower, armor and mobility advantages, even [-] people may not be able to exchange for one tank. The later the battle, the harder it is to fight.

The weapon gap is too big.

"Don't relax."

Yamamoto emphasized his tone:
"Order the troops, seize the time to repair the destroyed frontline positions, strengthen the anti-gun holes, and strengthen the hidden tunnels."

The hidden tunnel is an anti-tank tactic invented by Yamamoto. It is to dig a deep pit bunker on the position, and hide a death squad inside.

This is by far the most effective against Independence tanks.

But this tactic has very high requirements on the death squad members, who must remain calm and not take medicine. Even in Ping'an County, he has been trained for so long, and there are not many suitable death squad members.

"Hi."

The staff officer bowed his head and took the order.

In February, the northwestern Shanxi is still bitingly cold, and there is still snow on the ground, and the night falls quickly.

·····
Time to 07:30 in the evening, at this time the night has completely fallen.

Stand alone.

It was the third position of the former Japanese army.

The first company of tanks, the second company of tanks, three years of tanks, a total of 150 tanks, and 105 armored vehicles lined up neatly, several of which are equipped with large searchlights. Behind the position, the number of [-] howitzers increased to one hundred. The tube pointed to the devil's position in the distance.

On the other side, there are more than a dozen 120 mortar positions that are also building positions. Behind the gun positions, boxes of flares are piled up.

Although the main purpose of today's attack is to cover the first battalion and the second battalion, it only needs to attract the attention of the devils, and there is no need to capture positions or other tasks, but it is the first time for a tank unit to launch an attack at night, and it still faces great challenges .

For this reason, the first to form the most elite tank company, the second company, and the third company were responsible for the attack.

Even Li Yunlong personally went to the front line to organize.

Fortunately, after a week of fighting, the troop has greatly improved, and almost every troop has been reborn.

the same moment.

On the right side of Heyuan County, between a mountain road leading to Yu County, a battalion of 1000, [-] soldiers, and [-] mules full of supplies gathered here. Zhang Dabiao, the first battalion commander and chief of staff of the Independent Regiment, was standing at the end of the team. Front.

"A battalion gathers."

Raising his voice, Zhang Dabiao yelled for assembly after a long absence.

Since he became the chief of staff, the independent regiment has grown in size, and he has not personally commanded the first battalion for a long time. Xu Husheng, the deputy battalion commander, took the command instead.

tap···
The footsteps of 1000 and [-] people were in unison.

Looking at the team in front of him, in a daze, Zhang Dabiao rang four years ago, that is, in [-], when he and the team leader first arrived in the independent team.

At that time, the Independence Regiment had just been attacked by Yamamoto, which suffered heavy losses and low morale. In order to boost morale, and of course, for Boss Chen’s second business and the price of the [-] tons of weapons and ammunition, he led the backbone of the regiment. The formed elite company set out from Yangcun to attack Shuangfeng Town far away, killing Yamamoto's classmate and the leader of the first combat team of Yamamoto's secret service team, Ikeda Jiuichi.

At that time, it was also night and it was snowing heavily.

"today."

Zhang Dabiao withdrew his thoughts, his eyes froze, murderous:
"The task of the first battalion is very difficult."

"We will march across the night, and before nine o'clock tomorrow, we will arrive at a valley called Tieziling between Yuxian County and Panxian County. We will establish a position and stand firm for 36 hours."

"Tieziling is [-] kilometers away from here, and there are five devil camps along the way. It is close to Yu County, and there are more than [-] devils around."

"At that time, we will face the attack of devils ten times larger than ourselves."

"Although the Second Battalion will disperse the devil's forces on another road, we will not have artillery support for this battle, and there will be no 105 howitzer fire support with almost unlimited shells, let alone continuous logistical supplies."

"We have to rely on the ammunition we carry, and stand firm for 36 hours under the attack of tens of thousands of devils."

After Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, there was inevitably some commotion among the soldiers of the first battalion, and there were some whispers.

Since December 15th, almost every battle the independent regiment has fought has had unlimited ammunition supplies and unlimited fire support, and overwhelming artillery fire and bullets have been thrown at the devils' heads.

Soldiers have also begun to get used to and even enjoy this combat mode.

Suddenly without these things this time, it is inevitable that I am not used to it, and even a little panicked.

After all, this battle was not easy. They penetrated to the enemy's rear and held on for 1 hours under the attack of more than 36 devils, and they would not have time to build a solid position, nor did they have enough ammunition.

"Nervous?"

Seeing the performance of the soldiers of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao smiled, and did not control the discipline of the troops, but let the soldiers mutter.

He can understand the current situation of the troops.

The troops expanded too fast. At this time, most of the first battalion were recruits. Many of the backbones withdrawn from Shou County were promoted to officers, or entered the tank unit, and some even participated in the rear construction.

Although after a long time of training, despite some battles, and although the current selection is all elite troops, there is still a big gap compared with the previous battalion, and the current first battalion has not really fought any tough battles. fighting.

He has always crushed and bullied devils with the support of heavy firepower.

Before the soldiers could answer, Zhang Dabiao continued:
"This mission sounds really daunting."

"Our first battalion has to stand firm for 36 hours in the absence of a solid position, sufficient logistical supplies, and sufficient fire support at a ratio of ten to one."

"but."

"In my opinion, this is a very simple task."

With a cold snort, Zhang Dabiao raised his tone:

"You are very happy."

"The guy in my hand is the latest semi-automatic rifle, with high accuracy, fast rate of fire, light weight, low failure rate, and very light bullets."

"Before this departure, the supply of ammunition was open. Each person carried at least [-] rounds of ammunition and [-] rounds of grenades. Each squad's machine gun team carried at least [-] rounds of ammunition."

"We have been fighting devils for six years. I think many of you know what we were like five or six years ago."

Hearing this, the soldiers of the first battalion, which had been a little noisy, suddenly fell silent.

It hasn't been long since the Independence Regiment became rich, and it has only been more than a year since they came to Zhaojiayu. At this moment, among the soldiers in the first battalion, many of them were militiamen before, and all of them have experienced those difficult years.

Everyone is very clear.

Not to mention five or six years ago, even two years ago, life was terribly sad.I can't eat enough, I can't wear warm clothes, and the things in my hands are clinking.

"At the beginning."

Zhang Dabiao spoke, his voice full of memories:

"The regiment leader and I are still in the Xinyi Regiment. There are more than 1000 people in the regiment, and there are only more than 200 guns. Most of these guns are made in Hanyang with smooth rifling. Each gun has its own bullets. Less than five."

"It's that there are less than five guns for each gun."

The soldiers of the first battalion were collectively silent.

At this moment, the soldiers who use the new semi-automatic rifles have their pockets full of ammunition, at least [-] rounds, and the strong ones even have thousands of rounds.

In other words, a soldier at this time has more bullets than a regiment back then.

As for submachine guns, the bullets are lighter, let alone.

Because it was clear before that this task was very difficult. The big mules needed to transport shells and heavy equipment, and the soldiers were required to carry as many bullets as possible.

As for the squadron gun crew, let alone.

Five-member machine gun team, two of them carry machine guns, spare barrels, tripods and other accessories, and the remaining three are responsible for carrying bullets, and the ammunition hands of the machine gun team are all strong men, and a team can carry [-] bullets.

Of course, this is a heavy burden, but if you eat fine grains and meat for a long time, you can see full of oil and meat in the dishes. Everyone is strong and strong, so it is no problem to resist this little thing.

"Hey hey..."

Looking at the resolute fighters below, Zhang Dabiao smiled:
"Of course, there is no need to be too nervous."

"Although there is no artillery support from behind in this battle, our regiment has planes. We will have air support for this battle."

As soon as the words fell, 1000 or [-] soldiers immediately raised their heads.

Air support?

Air support!

In this battle, there is actually air support!

The momentum returned in an instant.

"in addition."

Zhang Dabiao continued:
"When necessary, some ammunition can also be air-dropped."

Although the attack aircraft based on the A1 model has a strong load capacity, it is not a dedicated transport aircraft after all, and the efficiency of supply materials is very low. After wrapping it in cotton cloth, it can only drop [-] kilograms of ammunition in one sortie. If there are too many, the accuracy and ammunition cannot be guaranteed. security.

But these words still raised the morale of the soldiers again, so much so that the soldiers actually looked forward to this battle.

After all, this is air support.

For the first time!

"Set off."

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Dabiao drove into the distance under the cover of night.
