Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Under the aerial bomb strikes of four attack planes, the offensive of the Japanese tank wing instantly began to stall.

While maneuvering, the Little Japanese armored soldiers also used the general-purpose machine gun on the roof of the Panzer IV tank to fire.

But these little devils discovered a particularly sad situation. Their 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns had no substantial effect on the attack aircraft equipped by the Eighth Route Army, and the ground anti-aircraft artillery could not keep up with the armored forces due to the speed of the armored forces.

"Bagaya Road! Inform the division headquarters that our anti-aircraft machine guns cannot penetrate the planes on Tubal Road!"

"Nani?!"

Hearing that the anti-aircraft machine guns had done little damage to the Eighth Route Army's aircraft, the Japanese commander who was conducting command inside the tank looked surprised.

Facing the Qiangyi attack aircraft known as the "air tank", the Little Japanese tank seemed very helpless.

At this time, the 202nd Division Tank Regiment felt as helpless as the Japanese Independent Tank Division that was wiped out in Kaifeng.

However, the situation of the Japanese troops in Jingxing County was obviously much better at this time.

After all, the Red Alert sent out hundreds of attack aircraft, while the Eighth Route Army had only four attack aircraft. Moreover, when fighting with the Eighth Route Army, without the strong electromagnetic interference of the Red Alert, at least the Japs could pass the message on.

The little Jaap's shot just now hit a fake target. Just as the Japs' tank was adjusting its firing range, several Eighth Route Army soldiers began to attack the fake gun as if they were real anti-tank guns. Make diversions to attract the Japs tank's attention.

Now we’re just waiting for the little devil’s gradual progress!
"Rumble, rumble..."

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army artillery took advantage of the Japanese No. 4 tank to stop and take aim, and immediately operated two cannons to fire armor-piercing shells.

Under the attack of 100 kilograms of aerial bombs, many Japanese No. tanks were not directly hit by the aerial bombs, but they were also overturned by the shock wave of the explosion.

The Japanese tank happened to find an Eighth Route Army anti-tank gun firing position and immediately opened fire on it.

After receiving this news, the aviation troops in the rear of the Japanese army suddenly began to doubt their lives.

"Attention everyone! In addition to the cannon battery, put the Japanese tanks within the range first, and try to hit the Japanese tanks hard in the first round after they get close!"

Seeing the Eighth Route Army attack planes bombing the ground indiscriminately, the commander of the 202nd Division at the rear couldn't help but sigh.

Whether it is the blocking battle on the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei front line or the blocking battle at Niangziguan, they are equally important to the Eighth Route Army!
In this case, the Eighth Route Army Air Force, which was originally small in number, was even more overwhelmed.

After hearing the order from Song Xianggui, the soldiers operating anti-tank equipment of the 18th Regiment stood ready, and the four Class A regiments surrounding the 18th Regiment were all ready for battle.

"understand!"

But when it is brought closer, it means that the troops will definitely suffer large-scale casualties, which will increase the pressure on the troops to stop them.

"Oh!"

The current Eighth Route Army troops are very clear that the nine 9mm cannons they are equipped with are the only equipment at this stage that can penetrate the new Japanese tanks at a distance of about 85 meters.

"Oh!"

Their first line of defense must be maintained for at least 24 hours!
Although large-scale casualties are inevitable in this high-intensity resistance war, the Eighth Route Army still has to choose to eliminate more Japanese troops at the least possible cost.

This was also the first time that the Japanese army knew that the 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns they thought were very powerful were nothing in front of the Chinese army's aircraft.

The Eighth Route Army military airport currently located at Niangziguan not only supports the troops conducting defensive operations on the eastern front, but also supports the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area.

Since the Eighth Route Army's moving false target was extremely conspicuous, in addition to the Japanese tank that had just fired, the other two tanks immediately stopped and began to take aim at the moving false target.

If it weren't for the purpose of attacking the Ping'an County Security Group, which caused all the Japanese troops to change their uniforms, with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, beating the little Japanese would really be like torturing a vegetable!
Although the bombing by the Eighth Route Army aviation unit stalled the Japanese offensive and disrupted the formation of the Japanese armored units, the air strikes could not last long.

At the same time, an explosion also sounded from the Eighth Route Army's position.

Although in order to meet the needs of speed and maneuverability, the Zero fighter is only equipped with a 20mm cannon, and its number of shells is very limited, but after all, this is their only way to deal with Chinese Air Force fighters.

The little devil directly invested an army in the wide area of ​​the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area. The Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei direction was also under great pressure.

Of the three Panzer IV tanks that were concentrating on aiming at false targets, two were instantly destroyed by 85mm armor-piercing rounds!

"Hai! I'm adjusting the cannon!"

This resulted in the Eighth Route Army being unable to deploy large-scale aviation units in the direction of Jingxing County.

Therefore, the Japanese Air Force Command immediately sent a message to the fighter planes that had just set off to cooperate with the ground forces, telling them to use the 20mm cannon of the Zero fighter planes immediately after discovering the Eighth Route Army aircraft.

As the Eighth Route Army's attack planes dropped bombs on the Japanese tank formations on the ground, a considerable number of the Little Japanese tanks were also blown up and overturned.

Is it a decoration? !
And they didn’t know this situation until they fought for so long. How unjust the death of the aviation troops who were killed on the front line was unjust!

However, at this time, the Eighth Route Army was no longer as green as the first time it encountered the Japanese No. 4 tank, and it lacked means.

Even if the final result is that the whole army is annihilated, then if they kill one more Japanese, the pressure on the brother troops behind them will be reduced.

The 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine gun is useless, so what is the 7.7mm aviation machine gun equipped on their Zero fighter plane for?

"How can it be repaired? In just a few years, the Eighth Route Army has developed into this state. It seems that the base camp's plan to eliminate the Eighth Route Army is correct. Otherwise, if these Tubal Road are given a few more years to develop, the Diguo Army will probably have to hold on. Can’t stand it anymore!”

Different from the main ammunition of the Red Police Force, the Eighth Route Army was not equipped with a large number of napalm bombs commonly used by the Red Police Force, but was equipped with high-explosive bombs on a large scale.

"You guys have been waiting for this moment! Let go!"

As the Eighth Route Army's eight fighter planes finished dropping bombs and began to return, the Japanese armored forces began to gather again and began to attack the Eighth Route Army's first line of defense.

"Tubal Road is moving the artillery positions, hurry up and take aim to kill them!"

"Bagayalu! You hit it wrong!"

Therefore, around the real anti-tank gun positions, the Eighth Route Army soldiers also used logs, iron plates, etc. to set up a large number of false targets to confuse the Japanese army's vision.

As for other equipment, if you want to penetrate the Little Devil's tank, you can only hit it closer.

Anyway, at this distance, it is impossible for the little devil's car periscope to see clearly which is the real target.

But the third tank also opened fire on the moving false target at this time.

"boom!……"

Under the attack of the Japanese 75mm tank cannon, the fake cannon made of wood was blown to pieces. At the same time, the five Eighth Route Army soldiers in charge of the transfer also died under the Japanese tank cannon.

"Horse-riding man! Aim at that tank for me! Avenge your comrades!"

"Yes!" But from the little devil's perspective, the attack that was originally thought to be smooth was greatly hindered.

This obstacle is not the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank guns.

After all, the number of 85mm cannons Zhang Shijie provided to the Eighth Route Army was not large. Each Type A regiment of the Eighth Route Army only had 9 guns, and the four Type A regiments on the first line of defense only had a total of 36 artillery pieces.

This kind of artillery strike was not a big threat to the little devil's tank regiment.

After all, there is a regiment and four brigades of armored troops behind them ready to support them!

There is no need for a chariot brigade directly under the army. The division chariot regiment and brigade chariot brigade included in the two divisions alone are enough to scare the 36 cannons of the Eighth Route Army's first line of defense!
What really troubled the little devils at this time was the anti-tank mines and anti-tank fortifications deployed by the Eighth Route Army.

Since the previous artillery clearance work of the Japanese army was interrupted by the Eighth Route Army's air force, many of the mines, anti-tank cones, anti-tank trenches and other defenses at the front of the Eighth Route Army's first line of defense can still function.

At this time, more than a dozen tanks in the Japanese armored forces hit anti-tank mines.

Those who were lucky were stunned by the explosives from the mines, while those who were unlucky were even killed by the shock wave generated by the large-yield explosives.

And in this case, using the cooperation of anti-tank fortifications and mines, the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank guns also exerted extraordinary effects.

The little devil said it was difficult to accept this loss.

Just when the Japanese tanks were unable to move in the minefield, several figures suddenly emerged from the anti-tank cone of the Eighth Route Army. A closer look revealed that these figures were either carrying 40mm rocket launchers or 75mm recoilless rifles.

These Eighth Route Army soldiers who emerged from the tunnels like gophers caught the little Japanese armored troops off guard.

Of course, these Eighth Route Army soldiers were not used to these Japanese tanks. As soon as they appeared, they fired their rocket launchers and recoilless rifles.

"Boom~boom~boom!..."

"How can it be repaired! Who fired the anti-tank gun?! Counterattack! Counterattack!"

"Thumbs up..."

With the individual anti-tank equipment of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, except for 4 ricochet rounds and those that missed, the remaining rocket launchers and recoilless rifles all hit the target.

After hitting the target, these Eighth Route Army soldiers immediately squatted back in the tunnel and began to retreat. The little Japanese's vehicle-mounted machine gun counterattack only killed two soldiers.

"Bagaya road!"

The originally confident commander of the 202nd Division Chariot Wing suddenly became manic when he saw that nearly half of the troops had been killed or injured.

He never expected that these Tubal people would be so ungrateful to martial arts!
It's okay to build anti-tank fortifications and lay out minefields, but you actually dug tunnels between these fortifications and the minefields? !
Is this still a serious positional defense battle?

After discovering the tunnel of the Eighth Route Army, the little devils suddenly panicked.

This group of Tuba Lu has dug a tunnel at this location. Is there a tunnel underneath them?
After all, the Eighth Route Army had been stationed outside Changgang Village for several years and never gave up on reinforcing and upgrading the position during the battle.

The Eighth Route Army, on the other hand, feels a little regretful about the current tunnels.

If the Japs hadn't launched an attack in advance, they would have dug tunnels to the Japs' feet in half a month!
"Boom! Boom!..."

After the attack by the Eighth Route Army's individual anti-tank equipment in the tunnel ended, the 85mm anti-tank guns located on the Eighth Route Army's positions were still firing at the Japanese army.

The little Japanese's armored troops didn't know for a while whether they should guard against the anti-tank guns in the distance or the tunnels not far away.

Although their tanks have anti-aircraft machine guns and parallel machine guns, and there are a small number of infantry behind them to accompany the battle.

However, these equipment can neither affect the Eighth Route Army artillery in the distance, nor can they keep an eye on the ground for changes.

After all, these tanks must maintain small-scale maneuvers as much as possible to avoid hitting landmines and avoid distant artillery as much as possible. The troops and equipment that rely on tanks for combat must also be adjusted in real time.

The little Japanese, who originally had an absolute advantage, became in a dilemma under the obstruction of the Eighth Route Army, which relied on its geographical advantage.

At this time, the command vehicle in which the captain of the Japanese chariot regiment was riding suddenly received a call from the division headquarters.

"Chariot regiment, stop attacking and retreat!"

After hearing the order to retreat, the captain of the Little Japanese army looked at the Eighth Route Army's position and secretly gritted his teeth.

"You bunch of idiots, I will definitely chop off all your heads!"

"Captain, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do? Retreat!"

"Hai!"

Seeing the Japanese armored forces retreating, the four A-type regiments of the Eighth Route Army responsible for front-line defense breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, the Eighth Route Army mainly relied on the remaining fortifications and minefields to block the Japanese attack. However, the minefields were always exhausted, and the Japanese army's absolute artillery superiority meant that sooner or later the fortifications would be blown up by the Japanese.

There are also fewer tunnel openings that allow Eighth Route Army soldiers to conduct close-range shooting.

Although the Eighth Route Army successfully repelled the Japanese attack this time, its trump cards were basically revealed in this battle.

But there are still 22 hours left before the required defense time.

The Eighth Route Army still has no idea how to fight the remaining battles.

At this time, looking at the command headquarters in silence, Song Xianggui, the commander of the 18th Regiment, pretended to be cheerful and said: "What's wrong, comrades, you are still looking so sad after winning the battle? This time the armored troops that defeated the little devils came to us. A good start! As commanders, you must first bring hope to the commanders below. If you all look sad, how can we fight? The most important thing now is to strengthen the fighting will of the soldiers and eliminate more Japanese. At the same time, let more comrades survive!”

After hearing Song Xianggui's encouragement, the commanders in the 18th Regiment headquarters also cheered up and prepared to return to the army to strengthen the fortifications.

Especially the artillery battalion troops began to disrupt the original layout of real and false targets.

While the Eighth Route Army was having a meeting, the air force sent by the Japs to the front line was about to fly over the battle area. Although the Japs pilots had already learned that the Eighth Route Army's air force had retreated, more than a dozen Zero fighters lost the chance to shoot down the Chinese Air Force. , but now that we have arrived, we can still attack the Eighth Route Army between the attacks of ground troops.

As the Japanese plane gradually approached, the Eighth Route Army on the position finally heard the sound of the propeller.

"Captain! Commander! The little devil's plane is coming!"

"what?!"
