Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1584 Pursuit
The defense line of the 39th Division was overwhelmed by the rout of the Iron Stone Army.

At this time, the iron and stone army still has a scale of more than 1 people... The battle of chariots and cavalry just now is very important and crucial, but the total number of chariots and armored vehicles is less than 20, and the cavalry is only more than 2000 people, and more than half of them are lost. There are only more than 1000 people.

Coupled with the loss of infantry, at most two to 3000 people were killed or injured.

The total size of the iron and stone troops is 1.6, which means that there are still about 1.3 left, so it can be said that the strength is still there.

But that’s how wars are fought on the battlefield. It doesn’t have to be said that the number of casualties or less than a few percent will collapse.

The reason is that every soldier is not a fool. They know that they are going to be surrounded and what will happen after being surrounded. It's over!
So as soon as the Iron Stone troops received the order to retreat, they ran back in a swarm, without the rhythm of retreat at all.

In fact, the word "completely" is not accurate, because the 26th Infantry Regiment of the Iron Stone Army was ordered to stay behind to cover the retreat of the main force, and the 26th Infantry Regiment did the same.

The problem is that the Eighth Route Army has prepared [-] rocket launchers and is waiting to show off at this time.

This was Li Yunlong's preparation. The rocket launcher is usually used to prepare for the artillery fire before the attack. Li Yunlong is not, he is used to destroy the iron and stone troops at the last moment.

Originally, he thought it would not be necessary this time, because the situation on Zhang Dabiao's side was not optimistic. Unexpectedly, Zhang Dabiao came up with a quick and wise stroke to turn the defeat into victory. Li Yunlong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. "Good fight! This guy Zhang Dabiao is worthy of being a soldier brought out by me! He is a seed!"

Then when the main force of the Iron Stone Army retreated and arranged a regiment to cover it, of course Li Yunlong would not be polite to the puppet army, and immediately ordered the rocket launcher to fire.

More than 200 rockets fired at the same time, that is, more than [-] rockets hit the puppet army's position at the same time, blowing up the puppet army's position in flames and smoke in an instant.

Then the charge horn sounded, and Eighth Route Army soldiers with bayonets swarmed into the puppet army's position like a tide and broke through its frontal line of defense.

Because the puppet army's line of defense was lost too quickly, it looked like "there was no retreat rhythm at all", and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army also followed the puppet army and launched an attack on the Devil's 39th Division.

Bear the brunt of the devil's "anti-tank guns."

Before, Saki Yoshikawa transferred the Type 97 anti-tank gun to the front line or even moved forward because he wanted to fight the half-track vehicles of the Eighth Route Army in cooperation with the iron-blooded troops.

How could Zhang Dabiao miss such a good opportunity, he immediately ordered his troops to chase down those devils who had left their positions.

"We must not let those devils go back!" Zhang Dabiao ordered: "They went out to deal with us, and most likely they are anti-tank guns of devils. Let them go back and we will be in danger!"

So the half-track car hit and crushed, and killed most of the devils before they could return to the line of defense.

This "killing a bloody road" is really not an exaggeration, it is a veritable bloody road: along the way, there are routs of the iron and stone troops everywhere, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army kept changing magazines on the half-tracked vehicles to shoot on both sides enemy.

Li Yunlong's order was actually to "drive away" rather than kill them like they did.

However, half-track vehicles have the characteristics of half-track vehicles. It will never allow enemies within 30 to [-] meters around, or allow enemies at this distance to fight.

This is the distance for throwing a grenade and the half-track car is half-open. If the puppet army throws a grenade into the car... the whole car is over.

Therefore, the soldiers on the half-track car showed no mercy at all. As long as there were people near the sides, whether they raised their hands or not, they would all be knocked down.

The corpses of the puppet soldiers were left everywhere on the road, and some drivers obviously felt that the half-track vehicle was not giving enough energy to run fast. At that time, they were busy fighting and did not dare to think about driving as fast as they could continue.

When the battle is over, get out of the car and take a look... the track at the rear is already covered with the enemy's minced meat and clothes. The reason why the half-track car can't run fast is because some clothes are entangled in the axle. It was bleeding.

It can be said that the Iron Stone Army has helped the Eighth Route Army a lot, because if it weren't for this, the devil's anti-tank guns would probably cause a lot of trouble for the Eighth Route Army's half-track vehicles.

There is no problem now, half of the Devil's anti-tank gun has been damaged before it can function, and the remaining small part will not be of much use even if it escapes back to the defense line.

Yoshikawa Saki watched through the binoculars the densely packed iron and stone troops rushing into the defense line, followed by the Eighth Route Army behind them, and even ordered his subordinates to fire to stop them in shock...

It didn't help.

Because the artillery of the Eighth Route Army also followed up at the same time, although the devils fired at the Iron Stone troops temporarily suppressed their escape momentum, but soon the artillery shells hit the devil's position one after another, providing cover for the broken soldiers of the Iron Stone troops.

Then the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army also joined the battle. A dozen "La 5" dived down from the air and used machine guns and rockets to carry out precise strikes on the devils in the trenches below... Fighter planes are the most effective against trench suppression, because the fighter planes only need to move along Flying along the trend of the trenches, most of the bullets and rockets hit almost exactly the same.

At this moment, I really don't know who is the friendly army and who is the enemy army.

Of course, the iron and stone troops who were bald in life and death would not consider this point. They only knew that they would flee wherever there was a way out.

At this time, there was obviously a way of life on the side of the devil's line of defense, so they just paused for a while, and then rushed towards the devil's line of defense like a tide.

In the end, the devil's line of defense still failed to hold.

This is not to say that the devils have few troops. In fact, the devils' strength was several times that of the Eighth Route Army at the moment when the broken soldiers of the Iron Stone Army rushed into the defense line.

But just because it is several times, so many people are densely piled up in the trenches and defense lines, it is easy to be crowded and chaotic, so that the ammunition cannot be transported forward normally... The trench is such a small place, and it has been attacked in a short period of time. The impact of tens of thousands of rout soldiers can easily be blocked, so the entire defense line is in a state of being unable to function normally.

The Eighth Route Army was equipped with artillery and half-track vehicles. At this time, the T44 and "Sherman" tanks also followed up. They covered a large number of infantry and attacked the defense line in an orderly manner.

Yoshikawa Saki had no choice but to order a retreat.

And this withdrawal failed to stabilize the position and was chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army all the way!
