Rise from the sword

Chapter 568

"correct."

Before the two left the hangar, Zhao Gang suddenly asked:

"How do you explain to that group of people?"

"We say that the supplies are sent through space. They won't ask directly, but they will definitely inquire overtly and secretly. I guess the Germans should learn from ours and ask questions over the wine table."

The Independence Regiment is now the German uncle.

What a master.

Political commissar Zhao was sure that those generals and marshals had to be careful when talking to those deputy battalion commanders, the kind who didn't dare to breathe, for fear of offending them.

In this case, no matter how curious the Germans are, they dare not ask directly, for fear of offending others. After all, such space technology must be highly classified.

Therefore, the Germans will definitely learn the etiquette of the Chinese people. When they are getting drunk at a dinner party, they will mention a few words in the name of curiosity, and then ask for clues along the way.

Commissar Zhao is not interested in this kind of pure fooling, so he naturally left it to Li Yunlong.
"Didn't brother Chen say that?"

Li Yunlong stretched his white teeth:
"Indecision, quantum mechanics."

The corner of Zhao Gang's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a while.

·····
at the same time.

Outside Chengde, the independent regiment under the jurisdiction of Ding Wei is located in Ping County.

"retreat."

"withdraw."

"Retreat to the left mountain."

Amidst the sound of explosions one after another, amidst the continuous gunshots, and with a burst of shrill shouts, a large group of devils who looked like headless flies rushed to the left as if they had regained their souls.

Seeing his regiment retreating to the left, the No.40 Ninth Regiment leader of the First Division's legs went limp. After holding onto the tree trunk next to him to stabilize his body, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

What just happened made him still shudder.

According to the established plan, he took a unit of light equipment through the mountains around Ping County, intending to bypass the independent regiment station under the cover of night and attack the rear warehouses and logistics bases.

But only halfway through, after passing through a flat basin area, more than 100 tanks suddenly rushed out, and the independent regiment army of thousands of people launched a fierce attack on his wing.

Previously, he had heard from a lot of information how powerful the independent regiment was and how advanced its equipment was, and the description of its firepower used unimaginable and unimaginable words.

Seeing this, although he also raised his vigilance for this mission, he couldn't help but feel a little slanderous.

Firepower, can it be described with incredible, beyond imagination words?

But when he really saw the rain of bullets, the mortar shells falling like raindrops, and the flares covering the entire sky, he was shocked indescribably.

There is such a ferocious and dense firepower in the world.

At the same time, he was stunned.

It turned out that the independent regiment's firepower was real.

Unbelievable!

beyond imagination!

In the follow-up battle, he originally wanted to take advantage of the darkness to organize several death squads to counter-charge the tanks of the Independent Regiment, destroy a few tanks, and set back the spirit of the Independent Regiment.

Otherwise, I would have thought that the First Division of the Empire of Japan was an idiot.

Incendiary bombs cannot dispel all the darkness.

However, the three waves of death charges, nearly a hundred casualties of the death squads, but no results, let the captain discover a situation-the eighth tanks are actually equipped with night vision devices, which can clearly observe the vision ahead at night , and pay auxiliary precision aiming.

Can't escape - can't outrun a tank.

Can't fight - lack of anti-armor weapons, not enough troops, not to mention firepower, and limited vision, but the opponent can see himself.

This situation almost killed the captain of the 49th regiment.

I have to say that this old devil is indeed capable.

Facing the attack of the two armored battalions of the Independent Regiment, under the absolute disadvantage of firepower and troops, they responded on the spot and took advantage of the terrain to survive for nearly an hour, and the loss was not serious.

In the end, the old devil even used one hand to cut off his tail to survive, and led a part of the troops to escape from the encirclement and fled into the mountains.

"Leader, blocking forces are found ahead."

The captain of the 49th regiment, who had only been running for more than ten minutes, heard another bad news.

"How is the force?"

The old devil took a deep breath and asked.

There will be blocking ahead, he has long expected.

Since Balu sent nearly a hundred tanks to annihilate him, he must have discovered him long ago. The reason why he didn't discover it may be the reason for the night vision device.

Then, the Eighth Route Commander will definitely set up an encirclement circle around it, and the blocking troops will set up defense lines at important passages to prevent him from jumping out of the encirclement circle and buy time for the tank troops to annihilate him.

but···
"About the size of a brigade."

The reporting ghost replied.

"Assemble the troops."

The captain of the 49th regiment took a deep breath, drew out the imperial samurai sword in his hand, and said murderously:
"Ready to attack."

A brigade, that is, about 1000 people.

Although the independent regiment has strong firepower, it is night and can weaken the advantage of firepower to the greatest extent. Moreover, the independent regiment has not been here for a long time. It is impossible to dig out a solid position. I am afraid that the central position has not been completed. This is the edge of Ping County. There will be fewer positions.

Breaking through a line of defense is very easy.

Brandishing a samurai sword, the captain of the 49th Regiment rushed to the distant position with the rest of his regiment's devils.

In the first round of contact, he was very cautious and sent half a squadron to test out. Then, within ten minutes, he was repulsed by the fierce firepower from the opposite side and suffered heavy losses.

"Sure enough, the firepower is fierce."

Looking at the dense firepower points in the distance and the flares in the sky, the captain of the 49th regiment swallowed his throat in shock.

In just ten minutes of fighting, he lost half of the squadron. In the distance, judging from the firepower point and the size of the position, the strength of the troops is about 800, which shows the fierce firepower of the independent regiment.

But then, the retreating soldiers gave him even worse news:

"Captain, there is a blockhouse at the pass ahead."

"Bunker!"

The captain of the 49th regiment immediately raised his eyebrows.

This is not good news. He had carried infantry artillery and anti-aircraft artillery before, but they were all lost when he was being chased by tanks, even the heavy machine guns were all lost.

Therefore, we can only rely on death squads and explosive kits to deal with the bunker.

"how much?"

he asked next.

If there are too many, the situation will be very troublesome.Now that there are chasing troops behind him, if he can't break through the encirclement as soon as possible, his 49th regiment may be gone.

"Three."

He was relieved by the soldier's answer.

"Order···"

Immediately, the captain of the 49th regiment organized a second wave of attack. A brigade of troops led the newly formed death squad with explosive kits to kill the three bunkers blocking the way.

Fighting broke out again.

The newly formed 57th Battalion was in charge of blocking the attack. Although the newly formed battalion had undergone three months of training, it was seriously lacking in combat experience, and the experience of the officers and cadres was not rich, especially the command experience.

But the devils who attacked were the First Division, the Tokyo Division, and the Type A Division of the Type A Division. The soldiers had extremely rich combat experience and the command experience of grassroots officers.

Under such circumstances, even though the independent regiment had an absolute advantage in firepower, the devils still found the right opportunity and broke into the position.

As a last resort, the 57th Battalion could only abandon the first position and rely on three fortresses to stop the devils.

"Blow them up."

This scene made the captain of the 49th regiment overjoyed, and immediately ordered the entire team to attack.

Relying on the cover of night, several devils wearing plaster flags approached the fortress and placed explosive kits.

boom····

Several violent explosions sounded, and violent gunpowder smoke rose outside the three fortresses that blocked the passage. The explosion waves scattered, and the lifted soil layer could still be seen vaguely.

Inside the fortress, the originally ferocious machine gun fire suddenly went silent.

"Yo Xi."

This scene made the captain of the 49th regiment overjoyed:

"Prepare to break out."

The morale of the remaining devils was greatly boosted. They all held their bayonets and rushed forward screaming, intending to smash the Eighth Route Army blocking the way in front of them and highlight the encirclement circle of the Eighth Route Army.

It was June, and the wind in the valley kept blowing, and the gunpowder smoke cleared away quickly.

With the help of flares and burning flames, all the devils were stunned, as was the No.40 Ninth Regiment Captain who was holding a samurai sword.

At the pass not far away, there are still three blockhouses erected, and the muzzle of a large black machine gun (M2) can still be seen from the exposed multiple shooting holes. The explosion does not seem to have caused major damage to the blockhouse.

The only difference from before was that the explosion blew away the surrounding soil layer, and also collapsed part of the outer wall of the fortress, revealing the original appearance of the fortress.

concrete.

rebar.

"idiot."

The captain of the No.40 Ninth Alliance let out a desperate roar:

"how is this possible!"

He doesn't understand!

It's only been a few days, how can a reinforced concrete bunker be built here, and it's hardened!

As the captain of the First Division, he knows very well that it takes at least a week for the concrete fortress of the empire to reach the standard hardness, and it takes one and a half months for the highest strength.

No one told the captain of the devils why.

He had no chance of knowing why.

Boom boom boom...

After regaining consciousness, more than fifteen large-caliber heavy machine guns rang out again in the bunker, weaving together with more than fifty general-purpose machine guns to form intensive firepower, blocking the escape route of the 49th Regiment.

In the rear, the sound of tank engines and the sound of tracks rolling over the ground gradually came.

······
There are always coincidences in the world, and so does the battlefield.

at the same time.

Hengyang.

A wing of devils gradually approached Hengyang Airport under the cover of night.

After the failure during the day, Yokoyama learned from the pain and found that it was caused by insufficient troops, so he decided to dispatch a regiment of infantry to attack Hengyang Airport from three sides at one time, with a brigade in each direction.

At the same time, he also mobilized more cannons to suppress the artillery of the Independent Regiment, intending to occupy the airport in one fell swoop and solve the immediate serious trouble.

He can't afford to wait.

The high-level dispatched army, the base camp, and the prime minister made more than a dozen phone calls a day, and telegrams urged him to take down Hengyang immediately, and then continue to attack, all the way to Guilin~
Due to the change in the situation, the goal of this No. [-] operation has also changed.
—Forcing the Shancheng government to surrender!
