I rise from the sword

Chapter 190

After a long period of training and actual combat, the Japanese army's infantry-tank coordinated operations have become quite proficient.

The devil infantry held weapons in their hands, maintained an orderly tactical formation, and moved forward behind and on both sides of the tanks and chariots.

They quickly rushed to the forward position of the independent battalion, only to find that the independent battalion was already empty.

Not to mention the soldiers of the Independent Battalion on the battlefield, there was not even a ghost.

"Keep moving forward!"

A former enemy commander of the Japanese army raised his saber, and the attacking troops continued to move forward.

As we approach the main peak of Jiaocheng Mountain, the terrain becomes more and more complicated, and hidden enemies may appear in the surrounding forests at any time.

Therefore, the devil's attacking troops became more and more careful.

"One round of test firing, fire!"

More than 20 tanks and chariots immediately raised their gun barrels, turned their turrets, and aimed at the forest in front of them, which was also the second-line position of the Independent Battalion.

"Pass!"

"Tom tom tom tom!—"

37mm caliber shells are fired from the barrel of the tank.

The second-line position of the Independence Battalion was blown up into flames, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

"Da da da, da da da da!..."

At the same time, a [-]-type heavy machine gun mounted on the top of the tank roared angrily.

Fortunately, all the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion hid in the bunker.

Therefore, these bullets either passed over their heads, or hit the bunker in front of them, and did not cause many casualties to them.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers followed the cover of the tanks and quickly advanced to 500 meters away from the independent battalion's position.

On Jiaocheng Mountain, Yang Lin observed all this with a telescope in his hand.

Seeing Suzuki Sadajiro putting all his troops together in a desperate attempt, he couldn't help a cruel sneer from the corner of his mouth.

He did not order to fight back, because he was not worried that the little devil could break through the second line of defense of the independent battalion and threaten Jiaocheng Mountain.

Ma Gan, Zhao Dejiu, Zhou Yun and others knew what to do.

Up to now, the independent battalion has grown to a scale of nearly 3000 people.

Before long, the independent battalion will be expanded into an independent regiment, an independent brigade, or even an independent division.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yang Lin to do everything by himself, and he must cultivate the tactical command ability of his subordinates.

The Japanese army's independent mixed first brigade was the first test question for Yang Lin to assess the tactical command ability of his subordinates.

"Advance, advance at full speed! Break through the defense line of the Chinese army in one go!"

"Kill the chicken, kill the chicken!—"

It has to be said that the passability of tracked tanks and chariots is really strong.

The Devils tank convoy crushed and flattened all the way, like a group of unstoppable steel beasts!

"Flying Thunder Cannon, get ready!"

"emission!"

After receiving the order, the artillerymen of each company immediately stuffed 10 kilograms of explosive packs into the gasoline barrels, and then lit the primer.

"Tom!"

"Tom tom tom tom—"

There was a dull sound, and 20 10-kilogram explosive packs dragged sparks and flew towards the Japanese attacking group 400 meters away.

"Baga! What is that?"

The little devils who came to attack were stunned. Before they could react, the explosives fell to the ground and exploded.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Two of the tanks were hit by flying thunder cannons, and the roofs were as fragile as Japanese cars, and they were directly blown to pieces.

Even the devil infantry that came together with them were engulfed by the soaring flames, and they were torn to pieces by the shock wave before they could even scream.

Although the other explosive package did not hit the tank, it also killed and injured countless little devils...

"Baga, what are those damn airmen doing? They haven't destroyed the heavy artillery deployed by the Chinese on Jiaocheng Mountain!"

"Damn, really hateful!"

Suzuki Sadajiro has been watching the battle situation from the rear, seeing the attacking troops being bombarded by flying thunder cannons, a ferocious expression appeared on his face.

Nobu Watanabe, the chief of staff at the side, seemed to find something wrong. He said: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, this does not seem like a heavy artillery. You see, those shells are not like shells at all, but more like explosives. Moreover, the large-caliber heavy artillery is not at all It is impossible to attack such a close target!"

After a pause, he continued: "However, the power of this artillery is no less than that of a heavy howitzer.

Could this be a new weapon developed by the Chinese Army? "

After Watanabe Shin's reminder, Suzuki Sadajiro also discovered the unusualness of these artillery.

However, up to now, he has no turning back.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Order the attacking troops to accelerate and advance, regardless of the cost, to break through the fire blockade of the Chinese people!"

"Use the white-knife tactics that the Imperial Japanese Army is most proud of, and wipe out these damn Chinese people!"

"Hi Yi!"

Watanabe Nobuo nodded heavily, and immediately began to convey Suzuki Sadajiro's order.

……

On the battlefield, the Independence Battalion continued to use fly mine cannons to project explosive packages.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the companies of the Independent Battalion also pulled the trigger one after another.

"Da da da, ta da da da!——"

"Crack, clap clap clap!—"

The dense bullets immediately poured down like a gust of wind and rain, covering the crowd of devils rushing towards them.

"Fight back, fight back!"

"Quick, hurry up!—"

After being hit, the Devil infantry fired back while moving closer to the tanks to avoid them.

In order to cover the infantry, the devil's tank could only slow down, so that it was easier to be hit by the thunder cannon.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Soon, several tanks and chariots were hit one after another.

Commander Guizi also has a wealth of combat experience. He quickly thought of countermeasures, and while avoiding the heavy rain of bullets, he ordered loudly: "Pass my order, the tank chariot will give up the cover mission, and the horsepower will be fully activated. , rushed to the position of the Chinese army!"

The order was conveyed, and the remaining 10 or so tanks immediately abandoned the coordinated infantry, and rushed towards the independent battalion position two or 300 meters away with full horsepower.

However, it is a pity that in addition to the unconscionable guns, the independent battalion is also equipped with a lot of 37mm caliber anti-tank guns, which are commonly known as anti-tank guns.

In addition, ordinary heavy machine guns can easily penetrate the thin-skinned armor of the devil tank under close-range shooting.

In the past battles, the reason why the Devil tanks were invincible, on the one hand, was because the general national army was rarely equipped with anti-aircraft guns with direct firepower, and it was almost difficult for ordinary curved guns to hit moving tanks. .

In addition, the quality of Japanese artillery and grenadiers is too high.

The firepower of the machine guns of the national army has almost just fired, and will soon be hit by devil artillery or grenades.

When the Devil Tank rushed to the front, the firepower of the machine gun had already been pulled out, and naturally there was no existence that could threaten the Devil Tank.

However, the Japanese Independent Mixed First Brigade faced the Independent Battalion today, so they were doomed to fail!
