Rise from the sword

Chapter 585
the next day.

Chengde.

Early morning hours.

"General."

Inside the devil headquarters, a staff officer ran in in a panic:

"General, the enemy has launched an attack."

Hearing the report, Hattori Kotaro, who was wiping his samurai sword bestowed by the Heavenly Locust, raised his head to look at the flustered staff officer, frowned, his face was displeased, and he cursed directly:
"idiot!"

"What are you doing in such a panic?!"

For more than a month after being stationed in Chengde, the Eighth Route Army has launched attacks almost every day, either by heavy artillery shelling, large-scale shelling by running groups, or by armored troops.

Is there any need to be surprised!

And so flustered.

"General."

The staff officer set his tone:
"Different from before, today the Eight Routes are divided into two routes to attack, and each route has more than 100 tanks, which is twice as strong as before."

"Nani?!"

Hattori Kotaro stood up suddenly, with a tone of doubt, surprise, and surprise.

For a long time, the Eight Routes gathered opposite Ping County dispatched more than 100 tanks to attack each time, and launched the attack under the cover of more than 100 heavy artillery pieces. This has not changed for more than a month.

Although there are not many infantry, only more than 5000 people, but with the blessing of more than 100 tanks and more than 100 heavy artillery, he had to invest in a full division, and he could barely block it with the help of positions.

If you want to inflict heavy damage or annihilation, you can only lure the enemy to go deep, but the opponent has no intention of going deep into the attack.

Either retreat after penetrating more than ten or twenty kilometers, or retreat after fighting for a few hours, no matter how smooth the battle is, even if there is almost no effective resistance, there are no exceptions.

Hattori really hoped that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side would continue to attack all the way, because he could only hope to win if the tank army fell into a deep position.

But the other party is not as good as he wants.

Even if it was only a few hours, his position was penetrated by the opponent, even if, during these few hours of fighting, his defensive troops suffered heavy casualties, and even collapsed and fled.

But this time, more than 200 tanks attacked at the same time, that is to say... this attack, the opponent is serious?

"Yo Xi."

Thinking of this, Hattori was overjoyed and hurried to order the troops to get ready.

·····
outside the city.

On the edge of the Japanese camp.

boom boom boom

Dense shells fell like raindrops, and with the sound of explosions, a series of explosive fireballs rose up, rolling up the sky with gunpowder smoke. Soon, the entire position was shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

Although the summer wind is very strong and can quickly blow away the gunpowder smoke, the successive shells make the gunpowder smoke thicker and thicker.

After half an hour, the shelling gradually stopped.

The accumulated gunpowder hadn't cleared away, and the devils had just entered the position when they saw more than 100 tanks rushing towards the position, and there were more than 100 armored vehicles behind the tanks, as well as the Eighth Route Army with more than 5000 troops.

"spread."

The leader of the devil team has rich experience:

"Machine guns aimed at the infantry behind, don't shoot tanks, armored vehicles."

War is mutual.

In the absence of absolute generational differences, it is impossible to have a one-sided situation. Facing the attack of the mechanized troops of the independent regiment, although the little devil is weak, it is not completely incapable of resisting.

With the help of the position, the little devil can still block a block. The meat bomb attack has enough damage to the tank. Ten kilograms of explosives explode at close range, let alone the No. [-] tank, even the Tiger type is useless.

In the attacks of the independent regiment, after paying a heavy and huge price, the devils have also been reborn. They have accumulated rich experience in dealing with armored group attacks, and they have become more and more calm in dealing with them.

More than a month of actual combat has made the devil very clear that heavy machine guns, infantry artillery and other materials that lack mobility can only be a burden in such a situation. In many cases, they are directly wiped out by enemy tank guns before they have time to fire.

Even the anti-aircraft guns rarely have a chance to keep firing in the face of clusters of tanks.

Therefore, the current frontline brigade of devils has completely abandoned heavy machine guns, infantry artillery and other poorly maneuverable weapons, and is only equipped with rifles, light machine guns, grenade grenades, mortars, anti-tank grenades, and explosives.

Following the orders of the captain of the Devils, machine guns, rifles, grenade grenades, and 82 mortar shells imitating the Independent Regiment poured dense rain of bullets on the infantry of the Independent Regiment behind the tank.

Immediately, several soldiers who moved carelessly were hit, and at the same time several soldiers were injured by grenadier grenades and mortar grenade shrapnel because they did not evade in time.

While the grenades do little damage to tanks, the fragments are quite lethal to surrounding infantry.

With one blow, he succeeded, but the counterattack lasted only a few seconds, without the command of the devil's captain, the devils picked up their weapons and equipment one after another, turned around and ran away.

Either hide in the bomb crater, or hide in the deep defense hole.

However, after the devils left for a while, a series of shells exploded on their previous position, and the temporary bunkers and fortifications were destroyed one after another. However, because of the early avoidance, the devils suffered few casualties, and only a few unlucky ghosts were hit .

But the fierce artillery fire also suppressed the devils, making them unable to fight back.

"Attack, attack."

Seeing the devils being suppressed, the commander of an infantry battalion of the Independence Regiment shouted loudly over the radio:

"Pay attention to your position. If you don't want to die, just hide behind tanks and armored vehicles. When you find them approaching, use the fire sticks in your hands to kill the devils."

At the same time, the voice of a tank battalion commander also sounded on the channel of the tank battalion:
"Damn it, it's really embarrassing for the independent group."

"The little devil has been running for a long time, and you just fired the cannon. The shells are actually slower than the devil. I don't know, I thought you were here to set off fireworks for the little devil to see!"

"What are you eating?"

"what?"

"The shells are too late to reload? Then use a coaxial machine gun, the bullets are always in the barrel, right? Damn, a bunch of trash who only know how to eat."

"And the armored vehicles behind you. Your heavy machine guns have a range of more than one kilometer. The little devil is right in your face. Why don't you shoot? Ah, why don't you shoot? Don't you have eyes?"

The voice of the battalion commander cursing and swearing sounded on the channels of the tanks and armored vehicles of every tank battalion.

The ear-piercing swear words made every crew and soldier focus on the battlefield, and the commander even ordered a high-explosive bomb to be inserted into the barrel.

Actual combat is always the best training.

This group of independent regiment fighters, who were on the battlefield for the first time, began to mature after just a few minutes of fighting. Those mastered in Nissan training gradually became integrated and became instinctive.

······
"Team seat."

(West) Chang'an, Chu Yunfei came here with his adjutant, Fang Ligong:

"In the distance is Chang'an City."

"We are here this time to attend a meeting organized by the military department."

"Mr. Yan, Mr. Tang and other theater chiefs will also come to participate."

Chu Yunfei looked around.

In Xi'an city in the distance, there are endless crowds of people on the roads. Along the roads, there are all kinds of hawkers selling food, clothing, use, and even children's play. You can find it all here.

On the road, there are caravans and caravans coming and going, and you can even see many trucks emitting black smoke, full of goods entering the city.

The Xi'an city in front of me is not like a rear city during the war at all, but like a port city in a short period of prosperity in the Republic of China ten years ago, that is, before the silver crisis.

"Humph."

Looking at the prosperous Xi'an City in the distance, Chu Yunfei snorted coldly, his tone extremely mocking:

"It's ridiculous."

At this meeting, big shots gathered, the last one was the lieutenant general, and the one who organized the meeting was the highest level of the mountain city. If he asked a mere head of the team to attend the meeting, then the purpose is self-evident.

It was nothing more than trying to find a way to deal with Li Yunlong's group, and he had a deep friendship with Li Yunlong, and had cooperated with the independent regiment in the Battle of Central Henan, and wanted to get some news from him.

"Team seat."

Fang Ligong asked with some concern.

After the Battle of Central Henan, the Tuan Zuo was almost dismissed, and even had to be investigated by the military police. Later, Chief Yan came forward to calm the matter.

"Brother Li Gong."

Chu Yunfei pointed to Xi'an City in the distance, and said:
"You came to Xi'an a year and a half ago!"

"The humble staff came here for a meeting two years ago."

Fang Ligong nodded.

"Was Xi'an back then so prosperous?"

Chu Yunfei then asked again.

"No."

"Not far."

Fang Ligong replied:
"At that time in Xi'an, supplies were scarce, food was very expensive, and the people's life was very difficult. Beggars could be seen everywhere, and there were many refugees..."

As he spoke, Fang Ligong's tone was tinged with sarcasm.

In just two years, this Xi'an has been reborn, from desolation to prosperity, and he is very clear about the reasons for all this.

He also knows that the changes in Xi'an have happened in Shanxi, Shanxi, Mongolia, etc., and every city occupied by Li Yunlong and his gang, and it is even more incredible.

Where is the city, more prosperous, incredible prosperity.

If this is the case in Xi'an, then the other cities in the Kuomintang-controlled area, even the mountain city, may not be much better.

Although the prosperity of these cities can also increase taxes and increase power for the rulers.

However, others can make these cities prosper quickly, and they can also make these cities decline rapidly at a faster speed, and it is very simple, as long as the circulation of caravans and the circulation of materials are restricted, then the southwest rear will collapse quickly and completely .

Among other things, just cutting off the food, the mountain city collapsed.

At present, all the low-priced grains on the market come from Shanxi, Shanxi and other places.Facing high-quality grains that were more than half the cost price, the local grain supply channels in the mountain city disappeared very quickly.

Just like that, how to deal with others?

Ridiculous.

"Team seat."

Fang Ligong changed the topic:

"I heard that there has been movement on the Eighth Road in Pingxian County recently."

　There are still two chapters tomorrow, and today I spent some time doing a detailed outline.

　　So, this chapter is a bit watery.

　　emmm, forget it, it is very watery.
