Rise from the sword

Chapter 540

"Keep your eyes wide open."

"The little devil belongs to the gopher."

Outside Yangquan City, in the offensive formation of the Independent Regiment, the company platoon leaders in charge of the front-line command kept urging:
"Take the squad as a unit, cover each other, use the cover of the tank more, leave the back to the teammates and the tank, pay attention to observe the surroundings, and if you find suspicious points, go directly to the shuttle."

According to the experience of fighting in Ping'an County, as well as the experience of many subsequent tank battles, coupled with Li Yunlong's combat philosophy, the tank offensive tactics of the independent regiment have been completely mature at this time.

Not long ago, the army also implemented targeted training against the anti-tank suicide tactics of the little devils.

Hundreds of tanks formed three groups and launched attacks from three directions in Yangquan City.

Behind the tank, a dozen infantrymen either hid behind the tank, or were located behind the side of the tank. With the cover of the tank, they hunched over and followed the tank. The semi-automatic rifles in their hands were vigilantly aiming around.

Seeing this scene, Shinji Kozuo was shocked again, even a little angry:
"They are..."

He counted the number of independent regiments attacking from three sides, the number of tanks was the same, and the strength was also the same.

That is to say, Li Yunlong once again played his unconventional style of playing cards, attacking a fortified city, unexpectedly did not decide on the main attack direction, but evenly distributed his troops on three sides to attack at the same time.

Completely violates military common sense.

Any officer does not need to graduate from a military academy, no, even a bandit knows that to attack a territory occupied by a place, you need to have a main attack direction and a feint attack direction.

But after thinking about it carefully, Shinji Koza put away his anger.

At this moment, the difference in strength between the two sides is at least ten times. From a tactical point of view, Li Yunlong's approach is a joke, but from a strength point of view, it is indeed reasonable, even a stroke of genius.

Not only does it boost the morale of the attacking troops.

It can even disperse his forces, making it impossible for him to judge the enemy's main attack direction, so he can only disperse the troops, which further expands the difference in strength between the two sides.

"Fire."

Seeing the enemy approaching, Kozuo gave an order.

Immediately afterwards, from the tunnel, from the cave, and from the anti-battery cave, a mountain cannon, a [-]-type infantry gun, and a mortar were pushed out, facing the attacking troops in the distance open fire.

boom boom boom

The shells immediately fell on the attacking troops of the independent regiment.

Seeing the smoke from the explosion in the distance, all the Devil officers' expressions darkened.

The division stationed in Yangquan is at the division level in number, but the equipment is only at the regiment level. There are only a dozen old-fashioned mountain artillery pieces, and less than ten 27-type infantry artillery pieces. There are quite a few easy-to-manufacture mortars, enough There are [-] eight gates.

All kinds of artillery add up, less than fifty.

Of course, shells are also scarce, with mountain cannons only having more than half of the base on average, and mortars having less than one base.

But at this time, the devil officers counted, and the artillery fire falling on the opponent's position was sparse, at most thirty artillery pieces.

That is to say, the opponent's artillery preparation alone wiped out two-fifths of the artillery fire of the Yangquan Imperial Army. As for the light firepower such as machine guns, the loss of soldiers, etc., because the time cannot be counted.

Even the well-protected artillery lost more than half, and it is conceivable that other losses will definitely not be small.

But what can they do?
Insufficient time, insufficient manpower, and insufficient anticipation of the enemy's situation, who would have thought that the enemy would dispatch [-] heavy artillery pieces in order to attack a small Yangquan City, and continue shelling for three and a half hours.

The artillery preparations before the attack alone exceeded [-] tons of shells, and more than a lot.

Who would have thought of this.

The sparse artillery fire hardly hindered the offensive troops of the independent regiment.

Moreover, the thirty or so artillery pieces in the dew point not only had to face the counterattack of the tank, but were also immediately discovered by the independent regiment reconnaissance plane in the sky. The position was transmitted to the artillery position in the rear through the radio. And to.

In a short time, the devil's artillery failed to fire.

Either destroyed, or hidden.

After the welcome fireworks disappeared, the armored swarm continued to rush towards Yangquan City.

It was not until the third position, that is, the position outside the city, that the speed slowed down.

Because the devil's decisive brigade was dispatched.

Moreover, the strongest position in the third position has deep artillery holes, tunnel tunnels, and many wide trenches against tanks. There are still many fortifications, and the tank troops need to be cleared slowly.

But only slow down.

At this time, the armored battalion of the Independent Regiment had matured and responded quickly.

The bulldozer tanks go into battle, flatten the deep trenches, and some of the rest of the tanks set up positions on the spot. The artillery fire suppresses the devils in the distance, and you partly lead the infantry to disperse and expand their positions to the two wings.

Devils will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

bang bang bang...

The remaining artillery came out to fire, as well as the grenades, and some mortars also fired together. The dense shells fell in the tank formation, but this time there was no explosion, but dense and thick smoke rose up.

Subsequently.

Thousands of devils emerged from the tunnels and anti-gun holes, and rushed towards the tank group one after another. Some of these devils were holding bombs, but most of them were holding a long javelin.

However, the javelin tip is not the tip of the spear, but an inverted cone with three spikes at the bottom of the cone.

"what is this?"

Seeing the new weapon that the little devil was holding up, all the commanders of the independent regiment, including Zhang Dabiao, were taken aback for a moment, and then there was a trace of solemnity and worry.

In this battle, the independent regiment will win. Although a weapon has nothing to do with the overall situation, it will also cause casualties to the troops. This is something that everyone does not want to see.

"Supposed to be an anti-tank weapon."

The staff officer in charge of intelligence wiped his forehead. The devil had a new weapon, but they didn't notice it. It was a work mistake. He speculated in a hesitant tone:

"Similar to the German Iron Fist?"

"Didn't the devil have technical exchanges with the Germans?"

Boss Chen's weapon exchange list has recently updated a lot of weapons, such as military vehicles, artillery, light and heavy machine guns from various countries, and almost all weapons independent regiments have exchanged some for research, including German anti-tank weapons.

Tekken Bazooka.

But after research, it was found that this thing is actually far less effective than a recoilless gun, so it is not equipped.

"Not like."

Another staff officer said:
"This thing is completely different from the German Iron Fist."

As someone who had seen the Iron Fist test, the staff officer spoke very positively.

Zhang Dabiao, who was holding the binoculars, put down the binoculars, squinted his eyes, and said:

"Not Iron Fist."

"This should be an anti-tank weapon secretly developed by the devils. The front end is conical, and it is a hollow conical charge. The rod behind it should be a launch rod, which contains propellant."

"Possibly borrowed from the iron fist technique of the Germans."

However, he was obviously skeptical and used a bunch of should and maybe.

The current Zhang Dabiao is no longer the battalion commander who can only lead troops to charge.

Long-term study, exposure to advanced military knowledge, advanced military technology, the knowledge in his stomach is not the same as that of top students who graduated from foreign military academies, and even his understanding of some advanced technologies is beyond.

The reason for his confused tone was because he speculated based on knowledge.

Devil's new weapon, the conical head is not small, and judging by the posture of the little devil's hand, there must be no tail nozzle, but if it is launched by relying on the enclosed gunpowder, that is, the same type of grenadier technology, the recoil is absolutely unbearable.

unless.

This weapon is really a javelin, and the pole in the back is just a wooden pole.

But if so, wouldn't that be a totally new suicide weapon?

And with the observation of the battlefield, Zhang Dabiao felt more and more that his idea might really be true.

Just, is this possible?
In the dignified, puzzled, and worried eyes of the crowd, a group of devils armed with new weapons, under the cover of smoke bombs, were mostly killed by the independent regiment soldiers behind the tanks, and finally rushed to the front row of several tanks.

Then some devils fiercely threw the javelins in their hands, and some devils rushed to the tank with their javelins on their shoulders.

boom.

Accompanied by bursts of explosions, the 'javelin' in the devil's hand exploded, and the smoke from the explosion enveloped the number four tanks and the devil holding the javelin.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the command center breathed a sigh of relief, but then Qiqi fell silent, with stunned expressions on their faces.

"It's a fucking javelin and anti-tank grenade."

After a long silence, a staff officer suddenly cursed.

"Damn..."

The rest joined in one after another, and soon, the headquarters was filled with greetings and contempt for devils.

Fortunately, they were still nervous for a while.

It turned out to be a spear plus an anti-tank grenade, a pure suicide weapon.

This thing has a use ass.

This kind of javelin has a range of more than ten meters at most. Even if the monk came, he could only throw it at 30 meters. Now the armored battalion tanks support each other and cover, and there are infantry nearby. It is extremely unlikely to approach the tank with this weapon.

As everyone expected, the devil's three decisive battle brigades with a total of more than 3000 devils' attack did not make any waves, just like a small wave, disappearing in the wave of armor.

The Independent Regiment only lost less than ten tanks.

Half an hour later, Yangquan City was breached on three sides, and a large number of independent regiment soldiers and tanks poured into the city.

In urban street fighting, the complex environment weakens the gap in equipment the most.

Of course the devils knew this, Jia Zuo had arranged a lot of fortifications, tunnels, tunnels, etc. in the city.

But Yangquan is not Stalingrad, the Independence Regiment is not a German army short of supplies, and the little devil is not a Soviet army with constant support.
Facing specially modified fire-breathing tanks, recoilless guns equipped with sandbags, and independent regiment fighters generally equipped with semi-automatic and submachine guns, the last devil position in Yangquan City was completely wiped out by noon on the third day.

A total of [-] devils from the Yangquan Japanese Army Division were killed.

Not a single prisoner was taken.

·····
at the same time.

A man with brown hair and blue eyes arrived near Ping'an County.

He touched the letter in his pocket, as well as the iron and cross medal, took a deep breath, straightened his hat, and walked into the county with his head down.

　The heat is safe, start updating...

　　Every day from now on.
