Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 636 Captured
Yuncheng's defense collapsed due to Anda 23's retreat.

Afterwards, the reinforcements of the devils did enter the city, but it was meaningless to enter the city, because the sky was gradually brightening at this time, and the combat effectiveness of the tanks had been improved.

In fact, the point is not this.

The reason why tank street fighting has always been an unsolvable problem in modern warfare is because there are sharp weapons such as rocket launchers and even individual anti-tank missiles. They can hide in houses and ruins at a very small cost. Tanks destroyed.

But this problem does not exist for the tank troops of the Eighth Route Army, because the devils basically have no anti-tank equipment at this time.

It really doesn't work, even if it is the "umbrella" anti-tank grenade used by Hans (after being thrown, a small umbrella will be opened at the tail to keep the warhead fuze in front, and it will explode when it hits the target tank), or the bumper used by the bear. A fuzed anti-tank grenade would also work...

As long as there are anti-tank grenades, they can be thrown condescendingly from houses or rooftops, which will also cause big problems for tanks passing by on the street below.

However, the devil has nothing.

In fact, devils also have anti-tank equipment, such as Type 99 "Sea Turtle" anti-tank mines, and stab mines...

But the former is an explosive with a few magnets around it, which requires soldiers to stick the explosive to the tank close by, while the latter is a soldier who grabs and stabs at the tank and dies with the tank.

Both require close proximity.

Close quarters may be a terrible thing for Yingjiang soldiers. Their infantry are timid and always hide in a safe area. Once they are hit by fire, they will lie down and dare not move. This gives the devils a chance to take advantage of it. The two so-called "thunders" were able to cause a lot of damage to Ying Jiang on the Pacific battlefield... and it was Sherman who was fried, and finally forced Ying Jiang to put a wooden shell on Sherman.

(Note: The wooden shell is not magnetic, and the Devil's Type 99 anti-tank mine cannot be glued to it)
This tactic will not work against the Eighth Route Army.

Because when necessary, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will use their lives to protect the safety of the tank... It is difficult for Yingjiang to understand such behavior. For them, their own lives are always more important than the lives of others. Why should they sacrifice themselves to save others? ?

As a result, the street battle in Yuncheng was devastating to the tanks of the Eighth Route Army. The devils' reinforcements came head-on and were rushed by the tanks. It was another big defeat, and they left the corpses all over the place and fled out of the city in a hurry.

Wang Xuexin led the team to continue the attack non-stop. After taking the Old North Street in the center of the city, he turned into the North Street. After more than half an hour, he occupied the North Gate.

The first and second tank companies completed their tasks and occupied the west gate and east gate respectively.

Among them, the second company of tanks rushed to the air when attacking the Auto Repair Street, and did not encounter the Devils tanks... The Devils tank unit was transferred to the central part to be wiped out by the third company of tanks.

The first company of tanks solidly knocked the devils and an artillery squadron off their backs.

These are not the point.

The point is that Yuncheng was taken by the Eighth Route Army, and the bunkers and gun towers outside the city became "sandwich biscuits" and were attacked by the Eighth Route Army from both sides.

Moreover, fortifications such as bunkers and gun towers have strong directionality, with strong external firepower, but almost no internal firepower, especially tanks are still the nemesis of bunkers and gun towers.

Therefore, Anda 23 knew very well that if the garrison outside the city did not retreat, it would soon face the end of being divided and surrounded by the enemy.

So with an order, the devils in all directions retreated in a hurry and fled eastward.

They were in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to blow up the bunkers and gun towers... It is said that blowing up the bunkers only needs to bury a few explosive bags and then pull the fuse, which will take less than a few minutes.

But things on the battlefield are often life and death can be decided in such a few minutes. What if the tank troops of the Eighth Route Army counterattacked from the city in these few minutes and cut off the devils' retreat?

As a result, the bunker fortifications outside the city fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army almost intact, including the barbed wire fence that Anda 23 carefully built for anti-tank trenches, and even several bunkers and gun towers outside the city that provided supplies. underground warehouse.

This was built after the devils occupied Yuncheng.

Anda 23 takes one point into consideration: bunkers and gun towers cannot prepare too much ammunition.

This is not to say that there is not enough space, but that bunkers and gun towers are easily bombarded by enemy tanks. If too much ammunition is piled up in the bunker, it will become a multiplier for enemy shells, not to mention waste.

Therefore, the ammunition in the bunker turret basically only has two ammunition bases... an average of more than 200 rounds per person.

These ammunition is obviously not enough when the battle is fierce, so it needs to be transported frequently from the city.

There are so many bunkers outside the city that all need to be transported from the city, which will put a lot of pressure on the army's logistics and cause congestion at the city gates.

Therefore, Anda 23 designed several small ammunition depots outside the city.

This kind of small ammunition depot is located underground, with a layer of soil up to two meters thick, followed by a concrete poured depot. Each ammunition depot contains hundreds of thousands of rounds of bullets and tens of thousands of grenades for turnover. .

In this way, in an emergency, the bunker can be replenished from the underground ammunition depot without the need to return to the city for transportation.

All these ammunition fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. When Li Yunlong saw these ammunition depots, he jumped up for joy on the spot: "Damn it, you've made a lot of money now! These things made by the devils are all fucking used to deal with them of!"

Li Yunlong was right.

Anda 23 is so "careful and thoughtful", in fact, it is for the Eighth Route Army.

When the devils faced the Eighth Route Army's attack, they didn't have such a big logistical worry. On the contrary, when the Eighth Route Army was defending Yuncheng... The Devils blocked the city gates with firepower, what about the ammunition for the bunkers and gun towers?
But these are just small things.

When counting the results of the battle, the Eighth Route Army found five large warehouses in Yuncheng. Three warehouses were storing ammunition, firearms, medicines, bandages, etc., and the other two warehouses were storing food.

These supplies included the devils and the Jinsui army... When Yan Laoxi was defeated by the devils, he didn't have time to blow up the warehouse. Except for an ammunition depot that was blown up by the devil's agents, all the others fell into the hands of the devils.

After the devils received these warehouses and supplies, not only did they not use up the supplies, but they also piled them into the warehouses.

Because they planned to use Yuncheng as the starting point to support the strength of the three divisions and penetrate westward to the Yellow River, so of course they had to prepare more supplies in Yuncheng.

In other words, when the Eighth Route Army took down Yuncheng this time, it seized all the materials accumulated by the Jinsui Army and the devils in one go.

In addition, there are tanks, artillery, etc. that were besieged by the Eighth Route Army and could not get out of the city.

Li Yunlong was so happy that he didn't know his last name after hearing the supplies in the newspaper.
