Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Chapter 223 Metal Storm (please vote at the beginning of the month!)

After the infantry and tank coordinated troops passed the Japanese forward blocking position, the Red Alert soldiers continued to advance steadily towards the main force of the Japanese infantry wing.

According to the tradition of large-scale marches of Japanese regiments, the distance between the vanguard and the main force generally does not exceed 3 kilometers.

This means that the soldiers of the Red Police Force can reach the location of the main Japanese army in about 10 minutes.

The 403rd Company, which is located behind the Japanese position, has also moved to the predetermined position, waiting for the arrival of the infantry and tank coordination troops to launch an attack together.

"Has the artillery platoon set up its position?" the 403rd company commander asked the company firepower staff officer.

"Company commander, the artillery positions are expected to be set up in 5 minutes."

"Let them speed up!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the Japs who were building fortifications below, the commander of the 403rd Company couldn't wait to hope that the infantry-tank coordination unit responsible for the frontal attack would arrive soon.

On the battlefield on the southern front, the 203rd company also arrived at the blocking position of the Red Police Force on the southern line, and merged with the 201st company that was blocking.

"Company commander! Reinforcements have arrived!"

Hearing the call from the guard post, the commander of the 201st company felt relieved as he looked at his comrades who came for reinforcements.

"Old Liu, I'm sorry, I'm late." The commander of the 203rd Company couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw that the 201st Company had suffered so many casualties.

"It's not too late!" With that, the commander of the 201st Company gave up his position and pointed at the combat map around the blocking position and said: "Now the Japanese offensive force has increased to two regiments, and there are also two artillery squadrons. Provide fire support. The fire company responded that it will take about 2 minutes to complete the fire coverage of the Japanese artillery positions. The most important thing now is our first-line blocking position."

The total strength of the two regiments of the Little Devils is no less than 7000 people, while a company of the Red Police Force has less than 500 people, and there are still a certain number of support troops among these people.

With the Japanese's absolute numerical superiority, the 201st Company's blocking mission was very difficult.

However, when the 203rd company is reached, the pressure on the frontal position will definitely be much less.

Upon hearing this, the commander of the 203rd Company directly issued an order to the soldiers who came to support: "Order the troops, the first platoon and the second platoon as reserve teams to prepare for other tasks, and the remaining troops immediately enter the combat area and begin to block the Japanese army!"

"Yes! Company commander!"

With that said, the troops of the 203rd company quickly entered the blocking position, and the soldiers of the 201st company, who were originally blocking the attack, immediately boosted their morale when the reinforcements arrived!

The Japs' attacking troops instantly felt that the firepower density of the Chinese army on the opposite side had increased a lot. The Japs in the two regiments were severely injured by the instantly powerful firepower of the Red Police troops.

But even so, the little devils still did not give up the attack, but continued to rush towards the red police position.

The stalemate on the frontal battlefield made the little Japs very uncomfortable, so a Japs staff officer suggested: "Your Excellency, division commander, how about we send some more troops to try to sneak attack the headquarters of this Chinese army from the side in a roundabout way!"

"Of course I have thought about sneak attacks on the opponent's headquarters, but the surrounding terrain makes it impossible for a large number of troops to pass through. With the combat effectiveness of this group of Chinese troops, it is meaningless to detour below a brigade."

Listening to the division commander's words, the staff officer also felt that it made sense. After all, the Chinese army on the opposite side was different from the bald troops and the Eighth Route Army.

The bald troops are relatively better equipped, but their combat effectiveness is relatively poor, and their tactics are also very rigid.

Although the Eighth Route Army troops were very strong in combat effectiveness, they were unable to compete with the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield due to lack of food and ammunition. However, the Eighth Route Army also had a very obvious advantage, that is, it basically did not engage in frontal combat with the Japanese army. Through tactics, The tactics of war caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army.

But the Chinese army in front of us is different from the above two troops!
Not only are they very flexible in their tactics, but they also show strong combat effectiveness in frontal combat!

Moreover, this force also mastered a lot of advanced equipment that had never been seen before, which resulted in a disproportion between the two sides. Even if the ratio exceeded 1:14, the Japs were still unable to attack for a long time.

The most important thing is that the red police force at this time did not take advantage of the terrain, but simply resisted!
This made the little devils very uncomfortable. In the past, when they suffered losses at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, the little devils could still say that the Eighth Route Army had a large number of people and lacked military ethics in tactics.

But this battle is purely head-on!
While the Japanese division headquarters was discussing, the firepower company responsible for providing artillery support to the southern line blocking force also completed the coordinate correction, and then eagerly fired at the Japanese's last artillery position.

The Japanese command, who were discussing at the headquarters, heard the explosion in the rear and instantly understood that their only remaining artillery had now been wiped out by the Chinese army on the opposite side.

Although this result was expected, for these little devils, they still felt as if they were being suppressed by a huge boulder and were breathless.

At this moment, a Japanese staff officer said: "According to the report of the attacking force, the firepower of the Chinese blocking force on the opposite side has become much stronger. I think they have sent the last reserve team up now. Now their command headquarters The strength should be very empty. If we send a small force to conduct roundabout operations against this Chinese army, the possibility of knocking out the headquarters of this force should be extremely high. Even if our small force cannot attack the opponent It would be possible to cause a devastating blow to the command headquarters, and at least attract some Chinese troops to come back for reinforcements and reduce the pressure on the attacking troops."

After the Japs staff officer finished speaking, the Japs division leader's eyes lit up instantly!
yes!Now that the opponent's reserve team has been dispatched, even if they can't kill the headquarters, they can still exert a certain amount of combat power!
Therefore, the commander of the Japanese division immediately issued an order: "Order the guard squadron at the division headquarters to immediately prepare for battle and make a detour towards the Chinese army headquarters!"

"Hay!"

Originally, the Japanese division commander did not want to use the guard force of the division headquarters, but the five main regiments at hand have been sent to the battlefield. Now apart from the baggage force, only this guard squadron is left.

In the company headquarters of the 201st company, the commander of the 201st company said to the commander of the 203rd company with a sly look on his face: "What? Are you leaving these two platoons here to give the Japanese some fun?"

The commander of the 203rd company laughed and said: "Hahaha, I know I can't hide it from you, kid!"

In fact, the company commander of the 201st Company had also thought about this idea of ​​a roundabout attack. However, because the Japanese army invested too many troops in the attack, the enemy's and our strength had exceeded 1:14. If they divided their forces further and carried out roundabout attacks, they might not be able to defend the frontal battlefield.

But after the 203rd Company arrived, the strength of the blocking force was now enough to pose a threat to the Japanese rear command headquarters!
As a result, the first and second platoons of the 203rd Company began to move towards the Japanese headquarters according to the roundabout plan.

On the entire Fengyang Mountain battlefield now, not only the blocking positions on the southern line have been supported, but also the parallel troops responsible for surrounding the three ambush devil regiments have also received a large number of troop support.

These troops belong to the second-line support troops in the battle order of the Red Police Force, but the combat effectiveness of these second-line support troops is also very powerful!At this time, the second air defense company and the fourth air defense company had already built their shooting positions, and leveled their muzzles at the little devils in the ambush circle.

A total of 32 Type 85 23mm twin anti-aircraft guns aimed their muzzles at the little Japanese who were being bombarded below, and began to pour in firepower mercilessly.

The 32 twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns instantly created a powerful firepower network among the little devils. The three infantry regiments that had already suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment were instantly shattered by the dense metal storm. .

Compared with the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, the killing power of the twin 23mm anti-aircraft cannon is even more frightening!
The high-quality projectiles of the 23mm anti-aircraft gun carried terrifying kinetic energy and tore through all objects that dared to stand in front of them. The flesh and blood body of the little Japanese became fragmented in front of the 23mm anti-aircraft gun like a hot knife cutting through butter.

The most important thing is that this thing is not a gun, it is a cannon!

The steel balls and shrapnel splashed out after the shells exploded also caused great damage to the surrounding little devils.

There were even shells that exploded in the little devil's body, and the "exploded" little devil was instantly wiped out. Only the bloody steel balls flew out of the original devil's body and then shot into the body of another devil.

Now under the metal storm launched by the Red Police Force, such "blood relatives" can be seen everywhere in the entire ambush circle.

After the addition of two anti-aircraft companies, the casualties of the three infantry regiments increased rapidly, and with the continuous attacks from large-caliber artillery, the Little Japs soon lost all their casualties.

"Dalian, this is Hangzhou, the target has been basically eliminated, we can cease fire!"

"Dalian received!"

Subsequently, the 122 howitzers of the 16mm howitzer company located at the Dawangshan artillery position began to cease fire.

In less than two hours of fighting, these 16 howitzers had fired thousands of shells, and the little devils were basically wiped out under this level of firepower.

Throughout World War II, this kind of firepower density has never appeared on the Asian battlefield, and this kind of firepower strike method can't even be used by the little devil himself!

What's more, in addition to these 16 howitzers, there are four 4mm 107-barrel rocket launchers?
"The 401st company cleans the battlefield, the auxiliary troops assist in the cleanup, and the remaining infantry companies replenish ammunition to support the blocking troops!"

"Yes!"

Since the Japanese army directly launched a three-sided attack in the Fengyang Mountain battle with their superior strength, this caused the limited strength of the Red Police Force to be dispersed a lot, and also led to the problem of insufficient troops on some battlefields.

However, with the end of the Red Police Force's ambush and annihilation war against the main force of the Japanese army, the Red Police Force's strength instantly became abundant.

At this time, the first and second platoons of the 403rd Company, which were sent out to conduct roundabout operations, encountered the Japanese guard squadron on the roundabout route.

However, the number of Japanese guard squadrons is less than 180 people, while the two platoons of the Red Police Force have 146 people!
In this situation where the Japanese army does not have an absolute advantage, the Red Police Force relies on its all-round advantages to fight against the Japs, just like playing!
The encounter may be unfavorable to both sides, but in the face of absolute power, everything else is futile.

When the leading troops of the first and second platoons and the leading troops of the Japanese Guard Squadron met, they immediately started a fierce exchange of fire. However, the commanders on both sides who heard the exchange had very inconsistent reactions after hearing the gunshots.

Devil Squadron Leader: How could they have extra troops to fight back?

Deputy Commander of the 203rd Company: Are these devils taking a detour and dying in a hurry?

The soldiers of the Red Police Force did not hesitate after hearing the gunshots, and the soldiers came to block the water and come to the earth, and it was over!

Although both sides were unable to deploy their troops due to the complex terrain, the Red Alert soldiers naturally had their own solutions to this situation.

"Fire squad suppression! Squad one, squad two, attack directly!"

"understand!"

Following the command of the platoon leader, the soldiers of the two squads armed with light weapons began to attack the Japanese army, and the general-purpose machine guns of the fire squad also began to suppress the Japanese troops along the fire channels left by the two infantry squads in front.

In the early days of World War II, the Japs were basically not equipped with submachine guns. The Hundred-type submachine guns were only equipped in batches during the Pacific War when they found that their firepower density was too different from that of the Mold. Therefore, the current grass-roots firepower of the Japs is still based on the [-]-type submachine gun. It consists of a rifle, a Taisho [-] light machine gun and a grenade launcher.

However, it is difficult for grenades to exert their original power in such complex terrain conditions, and because the number of these equipments in the Japanese team is limited, it is difficult for the snipers of the Red Police Force to survive after locking the target.

Therefore, in this situation of complete suppression, the little devil was suppressed by the red police soldiers armed with Type 56 submachine guns and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and was unable to raise his head.

After all, under such terrain conditions, the Red Police troops cannot deploy their troops, and the little devils naturally cannot deploy them either.

Therefore, the idea of ​​using the number of people to make up for the density of firepower can only be declared bankrupt before it is implemented.

"Go and send the news here to the division headquarters! The Chinese army has sent troops to make a detour!" the Japanese squadron leader ordered the messenger.

"Hai!" Saying this, the messenger immediately ran towards the rear.

At a commanding height, a Red Alert sniper saw the Japanese man retreating and shot him without saying a word.

In this case, the person who runs behind must be sending information to the rear. The Red Alert soldiers will definitely not let them go when they see this situation.

Just when the Japs facing the Red Police troops on the front line were suppressed and could not raise their heads and could only hide behind the bunker, a fragmentation bomb shot from 40mm fire exploded next to the Japs behind the bunker in an instant.

The Japanese around them were also dead and disabled.

The little devils understood that now the bunker could not save their lives, so they had no choice but to give it a try.
