Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Chapter 258 Return
Accompanied by the roar of tank guns and the flames of anti-aircraft machine guns, the Sixth Battalion finally arrived at the battlefield ten minutes ahead of schedule.

"The Sixth Battalion is here! Attention all squadrons, counterattack across the board!"

"kill!!!"

As soon as the Sixth Battalion arrived on the battlefield, it became the focus of the entire battlefield with its crushing firepower.

Compared with the airborne support group, the Sixth Battalion is weaker than the airborne support group in terms of personnel quality and individual equipment. However, as a conventional force, the Sixth Battalion has heavy equipment that the airborne force cannot match.

For example, tanks and large-caliber artillery are equipment that is difficult for airborne troops to carry.

Just the role of these heavy equipment in frontal offensive operations has exceeded the entire combat effectiveness of the airborne support brigade.

This is determined by the combat nature of the troops. After all, even the most elite special forces can only play the role of elite infantry on the frontal battlefield.

Under the internal and external attacks of the Sixth Battalion and the Airborne Support Group, the encirclement of nearly 2 Japanese troops collapsed instantly.

After all, you can't expect a force that doesn't even have unified command to attack two battalion-level units of the Red Police Force!
"Mortar company, reserve the safe area for attack and fire freely!" the sixth battalion commander ordered to the mortar company.

"understand!"

In an offensive state, it is naturally impossible for the Red Police troops to act like fools and only know how to use the armored troops to immerse themselves in the attack.

The support force that should be utilized still needs to be utilized.

Moreover, the preparation speed of the mortar company is far faster than that of the fire company!
Also convenient for artillery preparation is the rocket launcher platoon under the fire company.

"Attention, whole platoon! Coordinates: 769, 352, height: 318, a salvo, let go!"

Because the red police troops appeared too suddenly and the Japanese army lacked effective command, several areas with dense Japanese troops appeared on the entire battlefield.

These areas have naturally become targets for rocket launcher platoons.

随着4门12管107毫米火箭炮的一轮齐射，日军山口联队和周围的各个大队、中队聚拢的区域瞬间被48枚107毫米火箭弹覆盖。

The little Japanese suffered heavy casualties under the full coverage of rocket launchers, and countless Japanese soldiers were killed or shocked to death.

The situation in which the Japanese army surrounded the airborne support group was instantly reversed. Now it is the Sixth Battalion and the airborne support group that surround the Japanese army!

"Your Excellency, Captain! We are surrounded by Chinese troops!"

Looking at the encirclement formed by the surrounding Red Police troops, the two remaining Japanese captains immediately said: "The encirclement of the Chinese army has just been formed. There must be weak points in defense. Order the troops to find weak points in defense and break out immediately!"

"Hay!"

Forced by the severe situation, the little devils immediately began to look for weak points in the red police force's encirclement.

During combat, any force will have weak links, and the Red Police Force is no exception.

But this "weakness" is compared to the red police forces in other areas. For the little devils, no matter how weak this link is, it is still an insurmountable barrier for them!
"Squad leader! The little devil is rushing towards us!"

"Damn it, are there really blind people who dare to come to our place? Are we being treated as soft persimmons?"

The Red Alert soldiers felt very incredible about the direction of the little Japanese's breakout.

This is the defensive area of ​​the air defense company!

A dozen twin-mounted 23mm anti-aircraft guns were now leveled and pointed forward, ready to meet this group of blind little devils.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, we have found out that only the firepower density here is the weakest!"

A little Japanese pointed at the defensive area of ​​the air defense company and reported proudly to the Japanese captain.

"Yo Xi! Order the troops to attack from here!"

"Hay!"

------

"Squad leader, do you guys really want to break out of our encirclement?" an anti-aircraft gun operator from the air defense company said to his squad leader.

After his squad leader checked the ammunition without raising his head, he sat down on the gun emplacement and said, "Don't ask whether these are available or not. The little devil is here to deliver the results of the battle to our air defense company!" This kind of good thing may not happen for several years, so prepare your ammunition quickly and open fire on the little devil!"

After hearing the squad leader's words, the red alert soldier immediately prepared the spare shells and was ready to reload at any time.

"Attention, artillery crews! Move the enemy closer to attack, and then fire again when they are 500 meters away!"

"understand!"

For the Type 85 23mm twin anti-aircraft gun, 500 meters is already a very short distance, and the actual combat range of the light weapons equipped by the Japanese army is less than 400 meters.

The Red Police Force could not only suppress the Japanese army accurately at a distance of 500 meters, but also avoid Japanese counterattacks.

This kind of unilateral and damage-free strike capability is what the Red Police Force likes best.

Moreover, in Zhang Shijie's view, the lives of Red Police soldiers are far more valuable than the lives of Japanese soldiers.

This has also had a certain impact on the fighting style of the Red Police Force. Those who can complete the battle without damage must complete the battle without damage!

So when the little Japanese's breakout force was 500 meters away from the air defense company, the anti-aircraft artillery of the air defense company opened fire instantly.

The intensity of firepower from more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns is terrifying!
Although the dual 23mm anti-aircraft guns were greatly deficient in air defense compared to the 37mm anti-aircraft guns and other equipment, their powerful firepower density simply made the Japanese troops despair when firing at Japanese infantry.

And most importantly, it's artillery!
Although the cannonball is small, it will explode after all!

At this time, countless warheads carried powerful kinetic energy through the Japs' bodies. Under the powerful power of these warheads, the Japs were instantly torn apart by the warheads, or were hit by shell fragments and smashed into pieces.

What's more, some people were hit by artillery shells and exploded inside their bodies, splattering the comrades around them with pieces of flesh.

"Baga! Is this the weak link in firepower you mentioned?!"

Hearing the commander's question, the Japanese scout couldn't argue. After all, who knew that there would be so many anti-aircraft guns waiting for them in this seemingly weak link?
"The Chinese are so cunning!"

At this time, the Japanese regiment, which was suppressed by the air defense company, was unable to move under the attack of numerous anti-aircraft guns.

The Red Police troops started firing at a distance of 500 meters. While the leading Japanese troops were wiped out, the Japanese troops behind them were also within the suppression range of the anti-aircraft guns.

The surviving little devils can still linger in the bunker.

But they knew that they couldn't stay in this so-called bunker for long. With the 23mm caliber, the granite boulders couldn't hold it for long.

Moreover, the red police troops behind have begun to shrink the encirclement, and it is only a matter of time before the infantry and tanks coordinate with the troops to move to their rear.

There's not much time left for the little devil!
Another Japanese unit in the encirclement also clashed left and right while the Red Police troops compressed the space, as if they were constantly trying to find the weak points of the Red Police troops in order to break out.

However, in front of the Red Police Force, their tactical actions were as ridiculous as a provocation between a child who has not yet entered kindergarten and an adult strong man.

Several Japanese breakthrough offensives were unable to advance even an inch in front of the armored units of the Red Police Force. "The First Brigade organized death squads to blast the tanks of the Chinese army! Quick!"

Under the suppression of the powerful armored forces of the Red Police Force, the little devil finally remembered the way the Chinese army used to deal with Japanese tanks.

So the little devils quickly organized dozens of five-person teams - the one in front blocked the bullets, and the last one carried the explosive bag to blast the tank.

But they ignored one thing. A large part of the reason why the National Army or the Eighth Route Army succeeded in using this method in the past was that the Japs only used 7.7 mm machine guns and there was no infantry to cooperate.

But the Red Police Force is different. The 62 light tanks assigned to each infantry battalion are equipped with 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns!

The Japanese 7.7mm machine gun can only penetrate a person carrying a sandbag, so the National Army or the Eighth Route Army can rely on this method to shorten the distance between them and Japanese tanks, thereby destroying the tanks.

But the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun of the Red Police Force shot through these little devils like they were playing!
After equipping armor-piercing explosive bombs, it is also a routine operation to blow up the little devil's explosive pack.

So a particularly weird scene appeared on the battlefield: five neatly arranged little Japs ran towards the tank, and then were all penetrated by 12.7mm machine gun bullets at once, and the ammunition on the last little Japs was exploded.

Seeing this, the Japanese army could only send more "death squads" to try to blow up the tanks of the Red Police troops.

But the tanks of the Red Police Force are coordinated by infantry!
After the Japanese army strengthened their explosive power, the infantry behind the tanks also took action. Many Japanese explosives were killed by red alert soldiers or detonated their ammunition halfway.

Faced with this situation, the little devils had no choice but to hope that the red police force could reduce their firepower.

Although they also knew that it was a very foolish thing to place their hopes on the enemy's mistakes, they had tried every method they could, but the Red Police's advancing force was still as airtight as an iron barrel. .

Is it possible that I am going to die here today?

Such an idea arose in the minds of the little devils, and then they could no longer get rid of it.

Seeing that the Japanese army was running out of tricks, the Red Police troops stopped conducting exploratory attacks and began to press forward with all their strength, striving for a quick victory.

The little devils were also quickly wiped out under the strong attack of the red police force.

"The Airborne Support Group, Sixth Battalion, begin to retreat toward the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area!"

"Yes!"

Now the Japanese pursuit troops, encirclement troops and assembly troops have all been wiped out by the Red Police troops through various means.

After the communication was interrupted, the little devil no longer had the ability to attack the Red Police Force.

And this time the Sixth Battalion was equipped with a large number of additional transport vehicles, and the infantry of the airborne support group also boarded the vehicles and began to retreat backwards.

"Headquarters, I am with the Sixth Battalion. We have received the airborne support group and started to retreat!"

"Regimental command received! All units immediately broke away from contact with the Japanese army and began to retreat!"

"Airborne Support Group understands!"

"The Sixth Battalion understands!"

……

Zhang Shijie: "Where is the fifth battalion?"

120 kilometers north of Shexian County, accompanied by the rumble of artillery, the Japanese third line of defense was now covered by firepower from three 122mm artillery batteries of the Red Police Force.

"Battal Commander! The regiment headquarters has just issued the latest order. The Sixth Battalion has received the airborne support group. The commander ordered us to retreat across the board!"

The commander of the fifth battalion was stunned when he heard this, then took the dot and half and looked at it carefully.

"Damn it, my artillery preparations are almost over, and I withdrew before I even started attacking. Unfortunately, I received the order to retreat before I could start attacking. I really gave these little devils an advantage!"

At this time, the fifth battalion commander was very angry when faced with this situation. After all, the duck he got flew away, and no one was happy to let it go.

"Batalion Commander, what should we do now?" a staff officer from the fifth battalion asked the fifth battalion commander.

"What else can we do? Order the troops to withdraw!"

"Yes!"

Subsequently, the fifth battalion immediately ceased fire and immediately evacuated to the rear.

Seeing that the artillery fire suddenly stopped, the little devils immediately re-entered the defensive position, waiting for the crazy attack that the Red Police troops were about to launch.

But after waiting for nearly 20 minutes, the commander of the Japanese third line of defense suddenly felt a little confused.

In the past, the Chinese army's ground offensives and artillery bombardments were closely connected, but this time the artillery fire had stopped for nearly 20 minutes, and he did not even see Mao from the Red Police Force.

"This Chinese army... won't withdraw, right?!"

After thinking of this possibility, the little devils' emotions became incoherent.

Damn it, you carried out the artillery bombardment for so long and then just retreated? !

However, the commander of the third line of defense did not blindly draw conclusions about the abnormal behavior of the red police force. Instead, he sent scouts to investigate the reality of this Chinese army.

"Nani?! The Chinese army really retreated?!"

"Hai! When we arrived at the second line of defense just now, there was no trace of the Chinese army at all!"

The little devil was puzzled by the retreat of the Red Police Force.

"Aren't they going to attack Taiyuan? Why did they retreat like this?!"

The little devil never dreamed that the Red Police Force had only two real combat intentions.

The first is to completely annihilate the Sakata Alliance.

The second is to respond to the airborne support brigade.

Now that both mission objectives have been achieved, why not withdraw?

Are you celebrating the New Year here?
The Japanese army seriously misjudged the combat intentions of the Red Police Force!
After all, normal people would never imagine that this Chinese army came all the way to Taiyuan just to kill this so-called "elite" force!
Zhang Shijie told the little devil clearly that the little devil couldn't be new!
Damn it, tens of thousands of people were killed at once, just for the Sakata Alliance? !

Nobuyuki Sakata: I didn’t expect that I was so valuable!

Just when the little devil was reviewing and analyzing the combat intentions of the Red Police Force, the fifth and sixth battalions of the Red Police Force and the airborne support brigade were all on their way back to Dagushan.

"This plot mission is so screwed up!" Zhang Shijie sighed in the headquarters.

Fortunately, none of the three armies suffered any major losses, otherwise this battle would have been a huge loss!
