Bright sword, I have a red police base car

"Damn it, get the high-tech company over quickly! The rest of the troops should take cover, and don't fire on the firepower point yet!"

"Yes! Battalion Commander."

At a distance of more than one thousand meters, the Panzer IV demonstrated unparalleled suppression power against the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army's response to this situation is now to hide its firepower points as much as possible to prevent Japanese tanks from being out of range of the Eighth Route Army. Eliminate by name.

"Baga, slow down, slow down!"

At this time, the Japanese army's infantry-tank coordinated offensive force was attacking the Eighth Route Army's defensive positions, but the little devil's infantry-tank coordination was perhaps immature compared to the European battlefield.

During the attack, due to the difference in movement speed between tanks and infantry, the Little Devil's infantry-tank coordination force also became disconnected.

The Japanese infantry behind them hurriedly caught up with the tanks, and the way to notify the tank soldiers was to hit them with their rifle butts.

As the Japanese offensive troops shuffled towards the front line, at the same time, the anti-aircraft machine gun company of the new regiment of the 385th Brigade also arrived at the second battalion's defense line and began to deploy. Also arriving at the same time was the recoilless rifle battery of the artillery battalion.

In the Eighth Route Army's Type A regiment organization, anti-tank firepower mainly consists of three parts.

One is the rocket launcher of the company-level firepower squad, the second is the Type 53 heavy machine gun equipped by each battalion's machine gun company, and the third is the high-speed machine gun company and recoilless gun company of the regiment's artillery battalion.

When Zhang Shijie started designing the organization, he took into account the anti-armor firepower construction of the Eighth Route Army's grassroots units.

In this system, there is no problem in dealing with the Type 97 medium tanks and Type 95 light tanks of the Little Devils, but in the face of the Japanese Panzer IV tanks, they are in a very powerless situation.

40 rocket launchers and recoilless rifles can break the armor of the Panzer IV tank, but their range is not enough.

The range of anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns is sufficient, but they cannot penetrate the armor of the No. 4 tank.

Moreover, the Type A regiment of the Eighth Route Army is not equipped with many 40mm rocket launchers. Each infantry company only has one rocket launcher, and the entire regiment has only nine infantry companies. The number of rocket launchers is not as large as that of tanks, so the new 9th Brigade It is impossible for the regiment to use a rocket launcher to get close to the Japs tanks.

So the second battalion commander began to deploy the anti-tank work: "You will arrange a high-speed aircraft for test firing later. The tanks that the little devil came over this time are different from the previous ones. If the high-altitude gun team finds that the high-speed aircraft cannot fire Evacuate immediately if you get through it! Don't rush to fire the remaining rocket launchers and recoilless rifles. Wait until the little devil's tank comes into range before firing. Is that clear?"

"Report! Battalion Commander, what should we do if we withdraw the anti-aircraft machine guns?"

The machine gun squad leader who was preparing to operate the anti-aircraft machine gun asked the second battalion commander.

The Eighth Route Army was once too poor. As a veteran, the squad leader of the advanced aircraft squad subconsciously thought of the most precious anti-aircraft machine gun in the squad after hearing the deployment.

"Comrade, if we run out of machine guns, we can buy them again. If we can't buy them, we will grab them from the hands of the little devils! If we can't grab the anti-aircraft machine guns, we will grab the cannons. But you must remember that you and the soldiers in your squad are the ones who are the best." the most important!"

"Yes, battalion commander!"

After the deployment was clear, the soldiers of the anti-aircraft machine gun squad quickly got into position and began shooting at the Little Devil's No. 4 tank.

"Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug..."

After several rounds of burst firing, the armor-piercing incendiary bombs fired by the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by the Eighth Route Army still failed to penetrate the front armor of the No. 4 tank. These bullets either bounced off the armor or were directly embedded in the armor.

After discovering this firepower point, the Little Japanese tank immediately aimed its muzzle here.

"Withdraw! Withdraw! Don't be so stunned!"

The second battalion commander on the side saw the Japs' tank guns pointed at this place, and immediately shouted to the squad leader of the high-tech aircraft squad.

"Battal Commander, our squad must keep the anti-aircraft machine guns!" As he said that, the soldiers of the advanced aircraft squad began to quickly dismantle the anti-aircraft machine guns.

"Fuck! Don't worry about the machine gun, retreat quickly! Otherwise I will shoot you!"

"boom!"

As soon as the second battalion commander finished saying this, a small Japanese tank gun shell hit him, but fortunately the shell was deflected a little, and the tank gun shell did not directly hit the machine gun squad.

"Baga, Yamamoto, you idiot! You missed the target!"

"Hai! I know!"

After adjustments, the little devil finally pointed the muzzle at the location where the Gaoji Ban was previously located, and at this time, the Gaoji Ban had already completed its evacuation.

"Batalion Commander, look! We saved the gun!"

"Fuck you!" Looking at the senior computer monitor who was still smiling playfully, the second battalion commander gave the senior computer monitor a somersault.

"You're still a veteran?! Do you want to disobey me on the battlefield? Come here, shoot him down and put him in solitary confinement! Let's see how I deal with you after the battle!"

Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders. In case of disobedience on the battlefield, on-site discipline can even be enforced!

Therefore, in the original plot, even though Li Yunlong defeated the Bantian Alliance from the front and killed the captain of the Bantian Alliance, he was still dismissed from his position as the group leader and was assigned to be the director of the quilt factory.

To be honest, this punishment was actually a sign of the Eighth Route Army leaders' love for Li Yunlong.

If this were placed in Zhang Shijie's place, Li Big Head would be shot directly!

So after the high-tech squad leader was taken away, the position of the second battalion of the 385th Brigade New Regiment fell silent again.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers in the position were gearing up, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the little Japanese when they approached.

The little devils, who knew nothing about all this, were still organizing their sparse infantry and tank coordination troops to advance towards the Eighth Route Army's defensive positions. The silent Eighth Route Army defensive positions made the little devils a little arrogant.

"Yo Xi, these Tuba Road should have retreated like mice when they saw our new chariot!"

"Hahahaha! Their previous anti-tank equipment is useless now. I really want to see their angry expressions!"

Since these little devils were the troops originally stationed in Japan, they were the first batch to receive these new equipment. It is normal for them to be a little arrogant as they have never been criticized by the Red Police Force and the Eighth Route Army.

On the Eighth Route Army's position, the guard post responsible for observation stared intently at the Japanese attacking troops, and at the same time shouted to his comrades how far the Japanese troops were from the front of the position.

"Five hundred meters!"

"Four hundred meters!"

"Three hundred meters!"

"Two hundred and fifty meters! All units enter the position!"

Holding a breath in their hearts, the soldiers of the Second Battalion, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed out of the anti-gun fortifications and quickly entered the position after receiving the order.

"Two hundred meters! Fire!"

"Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug..."

"Whoosh~ Boom!..." As the order to fire was issued, the second battalion of the 385th Brigade's New st Regiment and the air defense company and recoilless rifle battery of the artillery battalion began to fire at the Japanese army. The Eighth Route Army was killed with just one salvo. Four Japanese Panzer IV tanks.

After a brief surprise, the little Japanese immediately ordered other troops to speed up the attack on the Eighth Route Army position.

The Japanese armored force, which was the vanguard of the attack this time, had a squadron of 17 tanks. Even if 4 of them were killed by the Eighth Route Army, they still had strong combat effectiveness.

In the establishment of the Japanese armored forces in 1925, a tank squadron has 17 tanks, of which the squadron headquarters has 1 tank and 1 command tank, and has three squadrons, each with 5 tanks. A tank brigade has three squadrons of 51 tanks, and a brigade command and logistics unit with 15 tanks. A tank brigade has a total of 66 tanks.

Of course, the preparation is preparation, but the actual situation is another.

Because in actual combat, the Little Devils discovered that their actual combat situation did not require such a large establishment. The Little Devils are an island country with scarce resources, so they must save what they can when they are not needed.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, a Japanese tank regiment generally had only more than 60 tanks and self-propelled artillery.

The size of the regiment-level armored force of the Little Japanese was reduced to the size of a tank battalion of the European Army.

But the Japanese armored force in Changgang Village at this time was different. Their tank brigade was built completely according to the 1925 Japanese Army tank unit, and it was also the first full tank unit of the Little Devils.

And the armored forces of the Japanese Army established thereafter will be constructed according to this organization.

As for where do these resources come from?

Of course, it was won from the Navy during the bet between the Army and the Navy. The amount of tank steel used by a tank division is indeed a lot for the Japanese Army, but for the Japanese Navy, it is just a few cruisers and destroyers.

The Japanese Navy lost nearly 20% of its supplies in this gambling agreement, which was enough to double the resources of the Japanese Army!

In front of the Second Battalion's position, the remaining 13 tanks of a tank squadron of the Little Devil were looking for the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank firepower points, striving to eliminate the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank force as soon as possible.

An Eighth Route Army rocket launcher had just fired an armor-piercing round at this time, but it did not hit the tank due to wind direction. The deputy of the rocket launcher on the side followed the rocket launcher and pulled out a spare rocket.

"Cover the bazooka transfer!"

During the transfer of the rocket launcher, the infantrymen responsible for covering fired wildly at the Japanese troops to suppress fire.

Since the combat force of the Japanese offensive force was an infantry-tank coordinated force, it was not only the Japanese tanks that opened fire on the Eighth Route Army positions at this time, but also the Japanese infantry behind the tanks.

These infantry are all equipped with new weapons, including hundreds of submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles and other equipment. Their firepower is already on par with the Eighth Route Army's Type A regiment, and the main task of these Japanese infantry at this time is still to protect the tanks from the Eighth Route Army's infantry. Approach to destroy and designate targets for tanks.

"Which launch site should we go to?"

"Go to position three. This is the last rocket on me. There are supplies on position three."

As he spoke, the deputy of the rocket launcher docked the rocket with the propellant cartridge behind it, removed the safety cap on the rocket fuze, and then stuffed the rocket into the rocket launcher.

"This shot is more accurate!"

"Do not worry!"

So the bazooka launcher who had just finished loading aimed his sight at the tank again, while the bazooka deputy took out a fully loaded rocket launcher from a fortification in position 3 and carried it on his back.

"Whoosh! Boom!"

As the rocket launcher fired successfully, a rocket hit the front armor of a Japanese Type IV tank.

"boom!"

A high-temperature metal jet shot into the interior of the Japanese No. 4 tank, instantly smashing the Japanese armored soldiers in the vehicle into sieves, and also detonating the spare ammunition in the tank.

"Zi~zhi~boom!"

This Panzer IV tank exploded. Under the powerful explosion, the entire Panzer IV tank turret flew into the air.

"well played!"

When the fire squad leader in charge saw a tank being killed, he almost jumped up with excitement.

This is the first time that the Eighth Route Army has been so frustrated after receiving assistance from the Red Police Force. Therefore, after every Japanese tank is eliminated, the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the position can reduce considerable pressure.

But just when the rocket launcher was about to move his position, the muzzle of another Japs was already aimed at him.

"Bang~boom!"

This 75mm artillery shell did not directly hit the rocket launcher operator, but hit the position of the covering force less than ten meters away from the rocket launcher. Four Eighth Route Army soldiers responsible for the cover died and two were seriously injured.

Although it did not hit the bazooka operator directly, the shrapnel from the explosion hit the bazooka operator's chest.

"aquatic!"

Seeing that his partner fell in the explosion, the bazooka deputy carrying spare rockets quickly jumped over and dragged the body of the bazooka operator named Shui Sheng backwards. However, after seeing the injury on Shui Sheng's chest, the bazooka deputy immediately Somewhat overwhelmed.

Half a palm-sized shrapnel was blasted into Shui Sheng's chest, and his entire lungs and ribs were turned into minced meat. With the beating of his heart, blood surged crazily out of his chest.

Shui Sheng could no longer see his partner. He could only use his last will to hold back the blood pouring from his mouth and said: "Fight... fight the Japanese..."

After Shui Sheng said these words, the tense muscles in his body went limp.

"aquatic!"

"Why are you crying! Pick up the rocket launcher and I'll cover you to avenge Shuisheng!"

Seeing the fire squad leader, whose arms were bleeding but still raising his gun to shoot at the Japanese troops, the bazooka deputy immediately picked up the aquatic bazooka and began to move his position.

"Fire team, cover!"

……

After about 20 minutes of fighting, the Japanese tank group that originally had 17 tanks now only has 6 tanks left. However, the anti-tank force of the new regiment of the 385th Brigade was also basically lost in this battle.

There are now only two of the nine anti-aircraft machine guns in the anti-aircraft company, and three of the nine 9mm recoilless rifles in the recoilless gun company. The three rocket launchers originally belonging to the second battalion have all been lost, and the four who came from the first and third battalions to support One rocket launcher was also lost.

For the Eighth Route Army, this battle can be said to have suffered heavy losses. The Eighth Route Army, which was originally very satisfied with its firepower, also suffered from a phobia of insufficient firepower after this battle.

At this time, the commander of the new regiment of the 385th Brigade had only one idea: the anti-tank firepower must be strengthened!
