Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 482 Artillery
The other two interceptions were from the ground, two squadron-scale and one brigade-scale interceptions.

These two attacks were also not orders from Neiji Okamura, but the devils had made their own decisions.

The devils stationed in this area are the 23th Division of Anda 37, and Longfengping is located at the junction of the division's 225th and 226th Wing's defense areas.

The sound of gunfire from the Eighth Route Army breaking through the 225th Regiment reached the 226th Regiment.

Takeo Yamaguchi, the captain of the 226th Wing, heard the information...

"What? The Eighth Route Army broke through Longfengping?" Takeo Yamaguchi said, "What happened to Changzhu? Were they all drunk last night?"

Takeo Yamaguchi didn't think too much, and immediately ordered: "Organize troops to stop immediately!"

Then two squadrons and a brigade were dispatched as reinforcements.

In Yamaguchi Takeo's view, although the Eighth Route Army that broke through the defense line was mighty, but two squadrons plus one brigade had nearly 2000 people, it would not be a problem to encircle and annihilate a division of the Eighth Route Army in normal times.

What's more, these troops are all mechanized troops... driving cars to chase them.

Therefore, using these forces to block the Eighth Route Army is considered to be enough for the Eighth Route Army.

However, Takeo Yamaguchi received a telegram shortly afterwards: "Your Excellency, our department is surrounded by the enemy, and we request reinforcements!"

"What?" Takeo Yamaguchi was taken aback for a moment, and then he cursed angrily, "You bastard, your opponent is only the Eighth Route Army, and you are actually surrounded by them..."

"Your Excellency!" the subordinate explained: "The Eighth Route Army has many tanks, and we have no anti-tank equipment!"

"War... chariot?" Takeo Yamaguchi cold sweat dripped from his forehead in an instant.

what happened?

The Eighth Route Army actually has chariots, and there are quite a few!

In fact, the troops sent by Takeo Yamaguchi were not just surrounded... These blocking devils used the mobility of cars to penetrate in front of the Eighth Route Army and try to block their way.

Use a car to block a tank, especially on the plains, and you can imagine what will happen.

This time Wang Xuexin was no longer conservative. With a wave of his hand, two tank companies outflanked from the left and right, and one tank company broke through from the front. Those who outflanked left and right used the "front triangle", and those who made a frontal breakthrough used the "rear triangle".

If there is one word to describe this battle, it would be "cool"!
Cars lay across the front, standing there like targets, and a few shells "boomed" were blown up into the sky, using fire and smoke to pronounce the fate of the enemy.

The devils were dumbfounded when they saw the tanks driving up. They were planning to kill one by one just now, and they suddenly realized that they were the ones being hunted, and they had no power to fight back.

The unprepared devils collapsed almost as soon as they entered the battle. They ran around, and some planned to drive away in a car... These people still maintain a part of their reason, because in this situation the only way to drive is to drive away. Only then is it possible to escape, otherwise how could two legs run past the tank, even though the speed of the T26 is only 30 kilometers per hour.

However, this is only "possible".

Driving a car means that the target is big, and the car is very fragile. A single bullet can blow the tires, so you can only sit and wait to be surrounded.

Soon, the "Great Wall of Steel" composed of tanks everywhere blocked the way of the devils.

The tanks that broke through the front did not stop their footsteps. Under the cover of the infantry, they "rumbled" forward slowly, overturning the cars one after another, and crushing the devils under the tracks into piles of meat paste .

The battlefield was filled with waves of stench in an instant.

Because when a human body is run over by a tank, it is like a balloon. It is first squeezed and deformed, and soon it bursts like blood and internal organs on both sides of the track. Minced meat and bits of clothing hung.

In this scene, even Wang Xuexin, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't hold back, and almost vomited out.

When Takeo Yamaguchi reported information to Anda 23, the response he got was: "Asshole, what do you think it is? They have fifty tanks and at least two divisions of troops, and you actually let the troops drive cars to block !"

Takeo Yamaguchi almost lost his breath when he heard this... He sent half of his troops to the gate of hell with a casual order just now, and he might not be able to keep the captain of the regiment.

The reason why the devils fell into this kind of confusion and incoordination in command was because they had been fighting in China so smoothly, especially since they had never encountered a large-scale armored force.

At this time, an armored force suddenly appeared from the Eighth Route Army and they were caught off guard.

Neiji Okamura walked up and down the headquarters depressedly after hearing the information from the front line.

What annoyed him was not how powerful the fifty tanks of the Eighth Route Army were.

Until now, he still felt that there were only fifty tanks, and the T26 was not too advanced, and the imperial army was fully capable of handling it, especially since he had just transferred 23 "type one tanks" from China. He believed that these tanks Che has the ability to annihilate this unit of the Eighth Route Army.

Neiji Okamura was annoyed because the imperial army, which was always considered to be well-trained, would behave like this when encountering emergencies. Send the soldiers to the enemy's muzzle.

If this continues, how many more casualties will be needed to end this farce?

After walking for a while, Okamura Ningji stopped and ordered: "Order all troops to stay in place, order the Ninth Mixed Brigade to organize defense, and allow the use of stored artillery and shells!"

This is what Neiji Okamura relies on.

Although Yuncheng has only one artillery brigade with 16 guns, as the logistics supply base of the entire Zhongtiao Mountain, Yuncheng has stored many large-caliber artillery intended to be transported to the Yellow River, including 75MM and 105MM artillery.

Okamura Ningji asked the staff to count, and there were a total of thirty artillery pieces of various calibers.

This also means that Yuncheng can organize more than forty artillery pieces, which can be organized into an artillery wing.

Neiji Okamura looked at the map of Yuncheng, and said to Yoshio Shinozuka: "There are bunkers and walls in Yuncheng to stop the enemy's tanks, and if they continue to bombard enemy tanks with artillery, even if they have three heads and six arms... they can't defeat Yuncheng. !"

Shinozuka Yoshio was a little uncertain, because too many accidents happened today, and these accidents made Shinozuka Yoshio lose confidence.

"Your Excellency, General!" Yoshio Shinozuka said, "We have received information that the Jinsui army is also marching towards Yuncheng, and they are also carrying an unknown number of artillery pieces! It is very likely...the target is also Yuncheng!"

Okamura Ningji's eyelids twitched.

If there is artillery suppression from the Jinsui Army, it is still unclear who will die.

So Okamura Ningji immediately ordered: "Order the 7th Armored Regiment in Linfen to quickly reinforce Yuncheng, and the 30th Armored Regiment to go to Linfen to prepare!"
