Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Shanxi, Wuxiang, Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

"Boss, Li Tianyou has an urgent call! The lady is in a hurry!"

After hearing the staff report, the deputy commander's face suddenly turned cold.

Under the full-line attack of more than one million Japanese troops, there will definitely be more than one critical area!

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Central, Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan and Shanxi regions are also very tense.

Not only that, the Eighth Route Army had several exchanges of fire with Japanese troops in the direction of Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia.

The purpose of this crazy attack by the little devil is to wipe out all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, thereby completely eradicating it!
Now is the most difficult moment for the Eighth Route Army!

The deputy commander thought for a moment and said to the staff beside him: "Order all surrounding troops to support Niangziguan, including all active troops in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei direction, and must persist until the logistics support group arrives!"

"Boss, do you want to urge the logistics support team?"

Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief slammed the table angrily and said, "The logistics support group is here to support us! Where do you have the nerve to urge me over and over again?!"

At this time, Liu Huaqiang, director of the Political Department of the Red Police Force, also received a telegram from Dagushan.

"Director, what's going on?"

At this time, Hu Zheng, the commander of the Hehe 1st Battalion who was speeding towards Niangziguan in an armored vehicle, asked Liu Huaqiang.

"Chief of Staff Chen called. It's urgent at Niangziguan and we need to arrive as soon as possible!"

After hearing what Liu Huaqiang said, Hu Zheng was also a little depressed.

In fact, the Red Police Force is not far from Niangzi Pass, but the mountain road leading to Niangzi Pass here is really difficult!
After all, this period does not have as smooth a transportation infrastructure as the world in 2018. The mountain roads in the Shanxi mountainous area during World War II were really difficult to walk.

During this period alone, two trucks of the red police unit rolled down the hillside, killing 4 people and injuring 12 others.

In this case, the engineering troops could only take the lead and advance slowly on the mountain road.

"Fuck! There's another gap, go up to the rutted bridge!"

When faced with a gap in the mountain road, the engineering soldiers of the Red Police Force immediately installed a rutted bridge on one side.

In fact, a simple road dredging facility like a rut bridge is very easy to construct. It only requires a section of I-beam and reinforcement underneath. The entire installation time will definitely not exceed 10 minutes.

Although there are certain technical requirements for drivers to pass the rutted bridge, the drivers of the Red Alert Force must have no problem technically.

However, given the current situation, it is already very unrealistic to speed up the journey.

"Hey, order the engineers on the front line to speed up as much as possible, but you still have to ensure the safety of the troops marching behind!"

"Understood, Director!"

Just as the red police force was speeding towards Niangziguan, the battlefield at Niangziguan had entered a fierce stage.

Since the Japanese armored forces had previously completed a breakthrough on the Eighth Route Army's peripheral positions, both the peripheral positions and the core positions at Niangziguan were now engaged in very fierce exchanges of fire.

In order to block the Japanese troops again, the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the outer positions began to assemble a large number of troops to launch an almost crazy attack and blockade against the Japanese troops, and they counterattacked in a completely lifeless manner.

But after the little devil opened a breakthrough, it was naturally impossible for the Eighth Route Army to re-establish a complete defense line.

Although they completed the breakthrough of the Eighth Route Army's positions in a short period of time, only they themselves know how much losses the Japanese army suffered during this period!
At this time, the original positions and defense lines of the Eighth Route Army were filled with the corpses of little Japanese and the remains of tanks.

The bodies of fallen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were piled up into a hill around them.

The Eighth Route Army did have the advantage of defensive positions, but the Japanese army's numerical advantage and firepower advantage were too great. Even if the Eighth Route Army soldiers risked their lives to fight back, there was still no way to stop the Japs.

The current battlefield at Niangziguan was a head-to-head meat grinder. Under the attack and defense of both sides at all costs, blood dyed the outside of Niangziguan red.

"Have the aviation aircraft returned?! Are there any planes that can take off at the airport?!" Seeing that the frontline troops had not blocked the gap for a long time, Li Tianyou suddenly had a bad feeling. At this stage, the Eighth Route Army was the only force capable of rapid support. Only the aviation force remains.

"Commander, the aviation force has just completed its support to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province and is now returning. The little devil's attack speed is too fast, and the aviation force has no time to react!"

"Aren't there two more planes at the airport than one?"

"The two planes are now severely damaged and cannot take off at all!"

"grass!"

After hearing what the staff officer said, Li Tianyou couldn't help but curse.

Now it seems that the outer position can no longer be defended. If we do not retreat, it is estimated that the Japs may directly surround the outer position in the next step.

At that time, even if you wanted to retreat through the tunnel, it would probably be very difficult.

But they still don't know how long it will take for Zhang Shijie's logistics support team to arrive. What if they retreat at this time and cannot buy enough time?
As time went by, the little Japanese infantry and engineering troops also advanced to the perimeter of the Eighth Route Army's outer positions.

Due to the large deployment of other troops, the overall defense strength of the outer positions of Niangziguan has been significantly reduced.

And due to the arrival of the Japanese engineering troops, the blasting of the Eighth Route Army's underground fortifications also began.

"boom!……"

With a violent explosion, the underground defenses originally belonging to the 102nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army collapsed on a large scale, and even the headquarters of the 102nd Regiment, which was commanding operations underground, was not spared.

It was with this explosion that Li Tianyou decided to retreat.

"Order the frontline troops to return to the core position through the tunnel as quickly as possible! The outer position is of no value anymore!"

"Yes!"

Subsequently, the Eighth Route Army troops that were being deployed on the periphery immediately began to retreat, but while retreating, they had to leave troops behind to break up the rear.

And these troops responsible for cutting off the rear are mostly the result of ten deaths and no life.

"Attention all peripheral troops! I am the 5th Regiment! Our unit will be responsible for the post-breakout task, and the rest of the troops will return immediately! Repeat, our unit will be responsible for the post-breakup task, and the rest of the troops will return immediately!"

After receiving the radio report, the rest of the troops immediately responded: "Fuck you Lao Wang, don't think that your 5th regiment is an A-type regiment and can steal the mission! Although our 95th regiment is a B-type regiment, our bones are not soft. !”

"That's right! For this kind of work, your Type-A regiment stays on the sidelines and goes back to the core position to fight more Japs. Think of it as congratulating me on my birthday!"

Just as the troops on the front line were scrambling to seize this life-or-death mission, Li Tianyou's order was issued again. "The fifth regiment will perform the task of breaking off the rear, and the rest of the troops will retreat immediately!"

As Li Tianyou's order was issued, the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the front line had no choice but to retreat, but before retreating, they all glanced at the troops of the Fifth Regiment, hoping to engrave the appearance of these comrades in their hearts.

"Okay, retreat quickly! Kill more Japs for us!"

"Fifth regiment! All attack!"

In order to prevent the Japs from entering the core position from the tunnels of the peripheral positions, Li Tianyou ordered the troops responsible for the rear break to blast the underground fortifications immediately after the rest of the troops completed their retreat.

The fifth regiment chose to wait until the little devils got on the position before doing this.

It's all death anyway, so of course you need to bring more little devils to back you up!

In Niangzi Pass, facing a large number of armored troops from the Japs, Li Tianyou directly decided to use his last trump card.

The First Tank Battalion and the Second Tank Battalion of the Eighth Route Army!

These are two tank battalions trained as seeds by the Eighth Route Army. Not only have they undergone years of training, they are also all equipped with 62 light tanks from the Red Police Force.

However, the 62 light tanks Zhang Shijie gave to the Eighth Route Army were basically simple versions, and some electronic equipment was removed as much as possible.

It's not that Zhang Shijie wants to trick the Eighth Route Army, but given the current situation of the Eighth Route Army, it is really difficult to perform routine maintenance on electronic equipment such as night vision goggles.

Moreover, these tanks are mainly used as training vehicles, mainly used to train armored soldiers for the Eighth Route Army. Naturally, they do not need so many bells and whistles!
Just try to stay ahead of the tanks of this era as much as possible.

Since the armored units of the Eighth Route Army were trained under the Red Police Unit, when dispatching, they also had some shadow of the Red Police Unit.

At this time, as an intervening force against the Japanese army, two tank battalions of the Eighth Route Army each led an infantry battalion and began to intersperse the Japanese army from the left and right sides of the Japanese army.

"Bang~Boom!..."

The little devil looked at the Eighth Route Army tank that hit the first target while driving at a slow speed from a thousand meters away, and his heart began to turn upside down.

Since the main gun of the 62 light tank is equipped with a two-way stabilizer, it can shoot at low speeds with an accuracy that far exceeds that of World War II tanks.

But the fundamental reason for the kid's surprise was not this, but the 62 light tanks equipped by the Eighth Route Army tank battalion.

"Ping... The Ping'an County Security Group came here?! Why didn't they see their main force? Was it the armored force that set off first?"

As an old force in North China, the Japanese Second Army naturally knew what the tanks in front of them represented.

In fact, the 59-heavy tank, which is the main force of the Red Police armored group, does not appear many times, and it usually fights annihilation battles.

At this stage, the little devils don’t even know that there is such a tank as the 59-heavy tank.

After all, everyone I have seen is dead.

However, the 62 light tank is an early tank of the Red Police Force and is also the equipment of each synthetic battalion tank company. The little devils naturally know about the 62 light tank.

So after seeing the Eighth Route Army's tank battalion, the Japanese tank division, which had already suffered more than half of its casualties, panicked instantly!
Done! This is for me!
In fact, there are still big differences in appearance between the 62 light tanks equipped by the Red Alert Force and the 62 light tanks equipped by the Eighth Route Army. The most obvious difference is that all the tanks of the Red Alert Force are equipped with reactive armor, while the tanks of the Eighth Route Army are not.

After all, its original main purpose was as a coaching vehicle!
Seeing the tanks of the Eighth Route Army firing, the little Japanese was frightened, but still organized a counterattack.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

As the two sides opened fire at each other, one Japanese No. 4 tank after another was blown up by the Eighth Route Army's 62 light tank.

Compared with the No. 4 tank equipped by the Little Devils, the Eighth Route Army's 62 light tank has all-round advantages. Whether it is the defensive capabilities of composite armor, front bevel, egg-shaped turret, or the 85mm high-caliber anti-tank gun, it has the ability to deal with small tanks. The overwhelming advantage of the Japanese Panzer IV tanks.

八路军的62轻坦可以在一千米外使用其85毫米坦克炮一炮干掉小鬼子啊四号坦克，但是小鬼子的75毫米长管火炮就算怼到300米也打不穿62轻坦的正面装甲。

And the gap among them cannot be solved by relying on quantity.

"How can it be repaired! The tanks of the Ping'an County Security Group cannot penetrate it!"

"Bagaya Road! Hold on! The Ping'an County Security Group is just the vanguard. As long as we can block them, we have a chance to take Niangzi Pass before their main force arrives!"

Because the little devil mistook the Eighth Route Army's tank battalion for Zhang Shijie's red police force, he began to assemble a large number of troops to deal with the Eighth Route Army's tank battalion.

It was precisely because of this mistake that the Eighth Route Army gained valuable preparation time.

The large concentration of Japanese troops severely hindered the penetration of the two tank battalions of the Eighth Route Army, and the Little Devils also relied on their artillery superiority to cover the two tank battalions with artillery fire.

Because the Japanese artillery bombardment was very hasty and mainly consisted of close-range 75mm field guns and mortars, the Japanese artillery bombardment did not pose much of a threat to the Eighth Route Army armored forces, but the infantry accompanying the tanks suffered.

Normally, the Red Police force would at least have three branches of infantry, artillery and tanks to coordinate the attack. However, at this time, the Eighth Route Army soldiers, who were seriously short of artillery, could only bring a few 60mm mortars as support.

The heavy casualties of the infantry also caused the armored troops to evacuate immediately.

But a Japanese No. 4 tank seized the opportunity at this time.

"Bang~Boom!..."

As a 75mm cannon hit the side armor of the 62 light tank in a blank state, the light tank also exploded.

"Nani?! We destroyed the tanks of the Ping'an County Security Group! We destroyed the tanks of the Ping'an County Security Group!"

Seeing the exploding 62 light tank, the little devils immediately started cheering.

This was the first time that a tank belonging to the Ping'an County Security Group was destroyed. It was enough to make the kid happy for a year!

At this time, the little devils also discovered the weakness of the whiteboard 62 light tank. Within 500 meters, their artillery hit the side armor and rear armor of the 62 light tank and could kill the tanks of the Ping'an County Security Group.

After discovering this, the Japs immediately went crazy, but another round of shelling by the Eighth Route Army told the little Japs that even if there were weaknesses, they were not something they could handle.

However, they never expected that the third batch of air support from the Little Devils would arrive over Niangziguan at this time, but the Eighth Route Army's air force had not returned yet.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army tank battalion met their nemesis!

"Yo Xi! It looks like it's a tank from the Ping'an County Security Group. This time we can finally get results!"

With that said, the pilot of the Stuka dive bomber immediately flew the plane towards the ground... (End of Chapter)
