Bright sword, I have a red police base car

After receiving the order, the seven battalions of the Red Alert Force immediately began to attack the Japanese troops according to Chen Xi's order.

Immediately, tanks, armored vehicles, and various transport vehicles began to act.

After the engines of the Red Alert's various vehicles started, dust began to rise in the direction of Dagu Mountain, as if millions of ancient cavalry were about to charge.

"start to act!"

As the action order was issued, the seven battalions in charge of the operation began to split into two groups. Five combined battalions began to advance from the front, while the other two quick reaction battalions directly bypassed the remnants of the Japanese First Army and penetrated directly towards Taiyuan from the flank.

At this time, the Japanese on the front line had just been bombarded by the Red Alert's heavy artillery cluster. The impact of tens of thousands of shells made it impossible for the Japanese to organize an effective defense.

"Assemble! Report the current number of people in each squadron!"

At this time, a Japanese captain on the front line also began to count the remaining people in order to carry out the next step of troop deployment.

"Captain, including the wounded, there are only 11 people left in the First Squadron."

"There are still 15 people in the second squadron!"

"There are 8 people left in the third squadron."

"The baggage squadron still has 20 people, including the wounded."

After hearing the reports stop at the baggage squadron, the Japanese captain asked again: "Where are the other troops? The tank squadron, the anti-aircraft squadron, and the artillery squadron?"

"Captain, they were all destroyed in the bombardment just now."

"Bagaya road!"

Upon hearing this, the Japanese captain angrily threw the command knife in his hand to the ground.

Since the Red Alert's artillery team paid special attention to the Japanese defensive positions, the loss ratio of the troops here was frighteningly high!
There are now only 4 people left in the battalion headquarters. Including the squadrons below, their infantry battalion, which originally had nearly 58 people, now has only people left.

And among these 58 people, almost all of them were injured.

"Captain, how are we going to organize our defense next?"

The Japanese second lieutenant who was acting as the captain of the first squadron asked the Japanese battalion commander.

But at this time, the Japanese soldiers were standing there in a daze, not knowing how to deal with the current situation.

And just a few minutes later, the dust raised by the marching troops of the five battalions of the Red Alert Force had appeared in front of the Japanese. Faced with this situation, the Japanese troops did not know what to do for a moment.

"Captain, the ground forces of the Ping'an County Security Corps are here!"

Hearing this, the Japanese captain finally came to his senses and looked in the direction of the Japanese's finger. The sky was filled with yellow sand stretching for hundreds of miles. He didn't even dare to estimate how many people were left in the Ping'an County Security Corps.

"Bakayaloo! The baggage squadron, immediately go to each unit to inform them of the situation. They should come to support as much as possible. The rest of the troops should immediately take up their positions and block the Ping'an County Security Corps!"

"Hai!"

Afterwards, a dozen or so soldiers in the baggage squadron who were still able to move immediately ran to the surrounding troops and asked for support, while the remaining forty or so Japanese soldiers picked up their weapons and entered the positions to organize defense.

Now on the front line of the Japanese defense position, after the artillery bombardment by the Red Alert troops, there is nothing that can be called a position.

Some were just craters caused by the Red Alert's artillery shells.

"Quick! Quick! Our light tank troops must break through the Japanese defense line within half an hour and open up a path for our infantry comrades!"

As the leading force of the five combined battalions, the light tank companies directly under each battalion are attacking the Japanese army at full speed.

The light tank troops that appeared in the Red Alert Force were actually no longer equipped with Type 62 light tanks. After the replacement at Dagushan, the troops of each combined battalion had all been equipped with Type 59 medium tanks, which were withdrawn from the armored cluster. The current armored cluster has been fully equipped with the newer and more powerful Type 59 main battle tank.

作为80式坦克到88式以及96式坦克的中间型号，85式坦克换装了火力更强的125毫米炮。

At this time, the armored cluster is much stronger than before.

The retired 59D1 and other tanks replaced the 62 light tanks in the combined battalion and became the main support equipment for the combined battalion's attack.

Only ten minutes later, the Red Alert's tank troops had reached the front line of the Japanese defense position.

For the Japanese army, it was not just this battalion that suffered heavy losses. This battalion with only a few dozen people left had become the norm in the Japanese army's front-line defense positions.

After a long march, the light tank troops of the Red Alert Force finally saw the Japanese front-line positions that had been bombed into ruins.

The original machine gun fortifications and trenches have now become bomb craters more than ten meters deep, and around the bomb craters, you can see flying anti-aircraft gun parts.

These anti-aircraft guns were deployed on the front line by the Japanese anti-aircraft division in order to resist the tank units of the Ping'an County Security Corps. However, after the arrival of the armored units of the Red Alert Force, the formerly powerful First Army Anti-aircraft Division was reduced to nothing but wreckage.

"Chug tug tug tug"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After the Red Alert's tanks arrived, the Japanese soldiers on the position immediately began shooting at the Red Alert's tanks with submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, light machine guns and other individual equipment.

However, when these light equipment hit the Red Alert's tanks, apart from making clanging sounds, they could only break some of the tank's paint and could not cause any damage.

Normally, in the absence of individual anti-tank firepower, the Japanese should hide themselves and wait until the tank is close enough to them before using equipment such as explosive packs and Molotov cocktails to blast the tank at close range.

The Japanese, from the grassroots soldiers to the battalion commanders, were all very clear about this tactic.

But the embarrassing thing is that now the Japanese soldiers were under the artillery fire of the Red Alert troops, and the explosive packs they had prepared were also detonated or buried in the shelling.

So these little Japanese devils now don’t even have the chance to launch a suicide attack.

And in the eyes of the Red Alert soldiers, the bullets they fired were as immature as a three-year-old child swinging his fist at a grown man.

"Hey! These little devils are pretty brave!"

As he spoke, the Red Alert tank soldier loaded a 100mm high-explosive bomb into the gun barrel.

"Loading complete!"

"Report to the battalion commander, the light tank company has arrived at the Japanese front line! Please give instructions!"

"What the hell are you asking for instructions for?! Go ahead and hit me!"

"Fire!"

“Bang! Boom!”

Under the attack of a 100mm high-explosive bomb, the Japanese's bunkers themselves were just as ridiculous. After the tank fired, the commander of the 59 tank also leaned out of the turret and operated the 12.7mm "Nice Gadget" installed on the top of the turret to replenish the bodies of these Japanese.

"Chug, tug, tug, tug, tug."

The tank commander who was using the "Magic Gadget" to fire indiscriminately, with just the firepower of a few anti-aircraft machine guns, was able to suppress these Japanese devils so much that they couldn't even raise their heads.

But the remaining Japanese soldiers naturally would not sit there and wait to die. One of them, who was on a tree, aimed his semi-automatic rifle at a tank commander who had half of his body sticking out of the vehicle.

"Oh!"

"Snapped!"

As the Japanese fired this shot, an anti-aircraft machine gun immediately stopped firing.

A 7.7mm bullet damaged the receiver of the anti-aircraft machine gun. If it wanted to continue firing, it could only wait for follow-up troops to arrive and replace parts.

After feeling that someone was shooting at them, the tank commanders of the Red Alert immediately retracted their bodies into the turret.

"Baga, I missed! If I had used the Type 38 rifle, I would have definitely killed this Chinese guy!"

Just as this man fired a cold shot from the tree, the Red Alert soldiers also realized the presence of a sniper here.

Although the shooting is not that accurate, snipers are still very disgusting.

"Did you see that Japanese sniper just now?!"

"I saw it. It's on the tree at 11 o'clock! I can just see the flash of the Japanese gunfire."

"Turn the gun around!"

After learning that the Japanese sniper had been discovered, the Red Alert tank commander who had just been sniped immediately ordered his gun to be aimed at the Japanese sniper.

"Fuck you, aren't you going to snipe me? I'll show you what sniping is all about!"

In the Chinese perception, a sniper is a piece of equipment with a scope, single shot, and one-shot-per-second capability!

Although they didn't know whether the Japanese's weapons could be considered sniper weapons, the 100mm tank guns in their hands definitely counted as such!

As for the fact that the caliber is a bit too large, it is understandable. After all, the Red Alert has an ancestral fear of insufficient firepower, and a larger caliber is purely to alleviate the symptoms.

When the Japanese sniper saw that the commander of the tank he had just sniped had hidden, he turned his gun around and aimed at other targets. At this time, he did not know that a sniper with a larger caliber was already aimed at him.

"put!"

"boom!."

As the order to fire was given, a 100mm high-explosive bomb accurately hit the roots of the tree where the Japanese sniper was located, and under the splash of wood chips shattered by the explosion, the Japanese sniper and several Japanese soldiers around him were all pierced by shrapnel and wood chips like hedgehogs.

After one shot, the Japanese sniper and the surrounding firepower points were no longer active.

This is the difference between Chinese snipers and foreign snipers.

For foreigners, one gun gives one little brother, while for Chinese, one gun gives one household registration book.

Therefore, under the dual suppression of the Red Alert's tank guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, the Japanese front-line positions were quickly broken through by the Red Alert.

At the same time, the Red Alert infantry who arrived later also began to arrive in armored vehicles, and began to accompany the armored forces to break through into the depth of the Japanese army.

"Attack! Attack!"

After breaking through the Japanese defense line, the five battalions of the Red Alert Force attacked the remaining troops of the Japanese First Army like a tide.

At this time, the messenger that the Japanese had just sent out to seek support had just arrived at other Japanese troops around.

However, the scene before them made these messengers feel cold in their hands and feet.

Under the attack of the entire heavy artillery cluster of the Red Alert Force, all the troops of the First Army were covered by fierce artillery fire at the same time. Now not only were the front-line troops almost wiped out, but other troops also suffered heavy casualties.

Looking at the blood, bullet holes, and wounded soldiers all over the camp, the Japanese infantry messenger sat down on the ground.

"It's over. The First Army is completely finished!"

Japanese First Army, Ninth Division.

Due to the sudden artillery coverage of the Red Alert forces, the troops of the 9th Division were subjected to extremely fierce artillery bombardment, and the 9th Division directly lost the division headquarters and a brigade headquarters in the artillery bombardment.

In terms of casualties, the 9th Division suffered more than two-thirds of its personnel.

After all, with reconnaissance planes in the sky guiding the artillery fire, the Red Alert's artillery accuracy is simply terrifyingly high!
Faced with this ultra-long-range precision artillery attack, the Japanese troops had no choice but to evacuate as much as possible to reduce casualties.

However, this time the Red Alert force had an ridiculous amount of artillery. Even if the Japanese evacuated, the heavy firepower of the heavy artillery cluster could still cover the entire area where the Japanese were.

"Ah!~ My legs! My legs!"

At this time, a Japanese soldier whose thigh was cut off by shrapnel from a 152mm howitzer was wailing in pain on the ground.

After his thigh was broken, blood flowed out of the wound like running water. However, the Japanese medical soldiers at this time ignored this little Japanese soldier, including the healthy Japanese soldiers around him.

With such serious disability injuries, there is no need for treatment for Rijun.

Although this level of disability has a great chance of survival with timely treatment, what can a person with a broken leg do even if he survives?
A disabled Japanese soldier with a broken leg has no positive value to the Japanese army except increasing their medical burden and occupying medical resources.

In this case, he might as well be dead.

As the wounded Japanese soldier's blood gradually dried up, his cries for help became weaker and weaker, and he was about to go into shock.

At this time, the five battalions of the Red Alert Force responsible for the frontal attack also arrived at the area where the 9th Division was located and began to encircle and suppress the remaining Japanese troops.

"New First Battalion, you should just take out these remaining Japanese soldiers. The rest of the troops can disperse and follow the guidance of the reconnaissance plane to eliminate all the remaining troops of the First Army!"

"Yes!"

For the Red Alert Force, the fundamental reason for breaking through from the front was to give follow-up troops the opportunity to encircle and better eliminate the Japanese army's manpower.

As the forces of the five combined battalions began to spread, the remnants of the Japanese First Army were about to be completely wiped out.

At this time, among the remnants of the First Army, the only tank division that still had a certain degree of combat effectiveness was redeploying the vehicles that could still be driven and the surviving crew members.

But what they are about to face is the attack from the Red Alert Armored Forces. (End of this chapter)
