Bright sword, I have a red police base car

As the first person to receive the Japanese army's order, the special forces member was stunned when he saw the Japs' order.

"This order was indeed issued a little late."

Looking at the corpses of the Japanese devils and then at the Japanese army's orders, the special forces soldier spat.

After completing the cleanup of the last stronghold, the Red Alert Force also began planning an offensive against the entire Japanese army stationed in Mongolia.

However, when the Red Army began to make preparations, Zhang Shijie received a request from the Eighth Route Army.

Due to the support of the Red Alert Force at this stage, the Eighth Route Army's armored forces and infantry-tank coordinated forces have basically been formed. The Eighth Route Army now has three armored brigades as its main armored combat forces.

After strengthening its troops and horses, the Eighth Route Army naturally wanted to engage in actual combat to test the combat capabilities of its own troops.

So after learning about the actual needs of the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Shijie naturally gave the task of the main attack to the Eighth Route Army, and even handed over all the logistical supplies for the combat to the Eighth Route Army's armored forces.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army troops were basically using equipment supported by the Red Alert Force, so their weapons and ammunition were basically universal. In addition, when Zhang Shijie transferred all troops to the Eighth Route Army, a large number of Red Alert Force officers served as grassroots officers and backbones.

There were also a certain number of military cadres serving as staff officers and military commanders in the Eighth Route Army.

Under such circumstances, the actual combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army's armored forces was almost the same as that of the Red Alert forces.

So under the leadership of Li TY, the three armored brigades of the Eighth Route Army began to move in the direction of the Japanese general's troops stationed in Mongolia. In addition, the combat force of an artillery brigade also maneuvered as a support force.

After a long period of construction, the military strength of the Eighth Route Army has grown by leaps and bounds.

In addition to the infantry units previously under its command, the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army now also have an armored brigade, an artillery brigade, an air defense brigade headquarters, and a large number of directly affiliated technical units.

Moreover, among all the infantry regiment-level combat forces of the Eighth Route Army, due to the large-scale replenishment of troops from the Red Alert Force, there are no longer any Type A, Type B, or Type C regiments. All of them have become main infantry regiments.

As the strength of the troops grew, the Eighth Route Army's self-confidence became increasingly strong.

So, in the panic of the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia, the Eighth Route Army's troops gradually moved to the area around the Japanese troops. At the same time, the Eighth Route Army's air force had also been mobilized to the area around the troops stationed in Mongolia.

Although compared with the main forces of the Japanese army in other regions, the Mongolian Army was a relatively weaker region, but the Eighth Route Army always believed that even a lion would use all its strength to fight a rabbit.

The Japanese were certainly not blind. After the Red Alert blocked the connection between the Mongolian Army and the Kwantung Army, the Mongolian Army became nervous and sent out reconnaissance troops in wave after wave. The Japanese troops saw it all and felt the pain in their hearts.

Damn, there really are troops coming here!
However, in the eyes of the Japanese army at this time, having a large number of troops surrounding them was definitely bad news, but good news also existed.

After all, the troops that came this time were the Eighth Route Army, not Zhang Shijie's logistics support regiment.

Otherwise, the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia will choose to surrender!
"Baga Yalu! Do they think we are sick cats if the tiger doesn't show its might?! It's fine that the Ping'an County Security Corps attacked, but now the Eighth Route Army dares to make trouble. Today I want them all dead!"

"Hai, General!"

Afterwards, the commander of the Japanese troops in Mongolia immediately ordered all the Japanese troops to assemble in the direction of Zhangjiakou.

Since the Ping'an County Security Corps is going to fight a tank battle, the Japanese army decides to fight with the Ping'an County Security Corps!

So when the Eighth Route Army was mobilizing, the Red Alert's satellites also discovered the Japanese troops that were mobilizing, and then marched and assembled towards the attacking Eighth Route Army.

As both sides gradually increased their troops, the area around Zhangjiakou was occupied by the armies of both sides, and small-scale exchanges of fire occurred from time to time.

Of course, in the friction and exchange of fire between the two sides, the Eighth Route Army basically won.

After all, most of these Eighth Route Army troops are Red Alert soldiers.

After suffering heavy losses, the Japanese army began to withdraw its forces and prepare for a general offensive.

The Japanese have discovered that the equipment used by the Eighth Route Army now are all the remaining equipment of the Ping'an County Security Corps. It can be basically confirmed that the logistics support corps of the Eighth Route Army is the Ping'an County Security Corps.

But even in this situation, the Japanese still wanted to take the risk and give it a try.

So, under the order of the Japanese command, the Japs decided to strike first and launched a general attack on the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, in the Eighth Route Army's front-line headquarters, Li TY was looking at the satellite map provided by the Red Alert Force and analyzing the next course of action based on the current situation.

At this moment, an Eighth Route Army messenger ran in and reported to Li TY: "Commander, the intelligence department of the Logistics Support Corps called and said that the main force of the Japanese army has started and is heading towards us now!"

"What the hell? The Japs dare to attack? They really don't think highly of us. Order the troops to prepare for the attack!"

"Yes! Comrade Commander!"

After the three armored brigades of the Eighth Route Army received the order to attack, the entire army quickly began to prepare.

In terms of time, the Japanese troops will definitely attack the Eighth Route Army's front assembly area before the Eighth Route Army troops complete their preparations. In order to leave sufficient preparation time for the armored forces in the rear, two infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army are blocking the front line.

"Comrades, hurry up and get into position and prepare for battle!"

"understand!"

In order to block the Japanese armored forces, the Eighth Route Army's infantry pre-placed a large number of minefields and anti-tank fortifications at the front of the position. The Japanese vanguard must have been a force with a certain degree of mobility, and the infantry and technical equipment must have been in the rear.

Therefore, the infantry units of the Eighth Route Army can rely on this time difference to block the Japanese armored units as much as possible and buy time for their own offensive units.

As the Eighth Route Army entered the battlefield, the Japanese attacking forces gradually appeared in their sight.

"Anti-tank company, all company, attention, one salvo, fire!"

"Bang bang bang bang."

Following a burst of gunfire, the 85mm cannons equipped by the Eighth Route Army began firing one after another.

Since the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia were not equipped with the latest Tiger tanks, the Eighth Route Army's equipment could threaten the Japanese army's current Type 4 tanks even at a long distance.

After the shells exploded, the Japanese veterans also analyzed that the artillery used by the Eighth Route Army was of 85mm caliber. Therefore, the Japanese at this time could rely on the advantage of the Eighth Route Army's limited anti-tank artillery to accelerate their advance forward.

However, as the Japanese armored forces approached 500 meters, the 578mm rapid-fire guns equipped by the Eighth Route Army also began to fire, destroying the Japanese tanks. As an anti-aircraft gun, the 7mm gun of the Eighth Route Army was much faster than the 57 gun in terms of barrel diameter ratio and initial velocity of the shell, so the performance of this anti-tank gun was also very excellent.

As a result, under the blocking of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese first tank division suffered heavy losses in less than half an hour.

"Bagayalu! You are a bunch of idiots. You can't beat the Ping'an County Security Corps, so how can you not beat these Tubalu?!"

Listening to their commander's speech, the surrounding Japanese soldiers felt like crying but had no tears.

If you have the guts, go to the front line and fight the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side!
However, such thoughts cannot be spoken in public, as the Japanese have always been very strict in enforcing the hierarchy system.

So the Japanese had no choice but to continue to speed up their attack on the Eighth Route Army's infantry units.

Watching the tanks around them being destroyed one after another, the Japanese soldiers had no choice but to charge forward. However, just after they reached an area 300 meters away from the Eighth Route Army's position, they were instantly taught a lesson by the Eighth Route Army.

"Give it to me, Yasi! I'm going to crush all these guerrillas to death!"

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army's positions were getting closer, the Japanese directly ordered their troops to launch a large-scale attack.

However, the Japanese armored vehicles and tanks had just approached when an explosion was heard by the Japanese.

"Boom boom boom boom."

"Bagayalo! These are anti-tank mines from the Ping'an County Security Corps. The Eighth Route Army is also equipped with so many!"

"Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment! There are too many mines laid by the Eighth Route Army. If we charge head-on, we won't be able to withstand it!"

"The troops stop marching and send a telegram to the division commander, requesting tactical guidance!"

"Hai!"

After receiving the telegram from the front line, the Japanese command also began to assess the situation on the front line.

Because the Eighth Route Army deployed a large number of mines on the front line, the Japanese tanks had to stay where they were and use their tank guns to support the infantry around them after losing nearly an entire regiment of tanks along the entire line.

However, in this situation, after the Japanese tanks became fixed targets, they became the victims of the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank guns before they could even fire a few shots.

The Japanese tank division was unable to advance in front of the defense line formed by the two infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army. Seeing this, the staff officers of the Eighth Route Army headquarters could not help but sigh: "Now the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is almost the same as our troops!"

"It's normal that the difference in defensive battles is not big. After all, the equipment is here. The other offensive modes still need to be honed slowly."

"That's right, it's impossible for a baby to climb a tree right after birth."

As they spoke, several staff officers who were transferred from the Red Alert Force to the Eighth Route Army couldn't help laughing as they watched the Japanese tanks turning into fireballs one by one.

In this situation where the Eighth Route Army pinned them to the ground and beat them, the Japanese had no way to attack at all.

Since the Japanese army had no armored accompanying combat vehicles, the only infantry combat force that the Japanese could carry out accompanying operations was the infantry mounted on tanks.

Not only were these infantrymen few in number, but many of them were killed by the Eighth Route Army's 12.7mm machine guns once they came into range.

It was quite unrealistic for the remaining Japanese soldiers to hold out and attack through the minefield under the heavy firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

After all, in addition to anti-tank mines, the Eighth Route Army’s minefields also had a large number of anti-infantry mines.

So in this situation, the Japanese troops had no choice but to retreat.

Just as the Japanese army was retreating, the three armored brigades of the Eighth Route Army had completed their preparations and began to attack forward.

"501, this is the battalion headquarters. The infantry line is 300 meters ahead of your vehicle. Please report after you pass!"

"Battalion Command, 501 understands!"

Amid the roar of engines, one Type 59 tank after another began to advance along the pre-marked route. In addition, armored brigades began to detour from the flanks and pursue the Japanese armored forces.

According to the Red Alert's combat plan, this combat process was divided into two parts. One part was that two armored brigades and all infantry units attacked the main force of the Mongolian Army, and the other armored brigade cooperated with the artillery unit to attack the Japanese strongholds controlled by the entire Mongolian Army.

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army's air force also organized combat readiness patrols in the entire area of ​​​​the army stationed in Mongolia, and launched air strikes on all Japanese troops that could be discovered.

Before the retreating Japanese soldiers had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the sound of airplane engines coming from the sky.

"Bakayaloo! Those are the propeller attack planes from the Ping'an County Security Corps. Disperse them quickly!"

After seeing the powerful attack aircraft equipped by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army's marching troops immediately began to evacuate irregularly. However, since the Eighth Route Army's air force only had one attack aircraft squadron, even if they suffered large-scale damage, they were still able to maintain a certain combat strength to withdraw.

But the Japanese soldiers, who had just been bombed and were covered in dust, received another piece of bad news.

According to reports from the rear-line troops, the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army have caught up, and they also have a large number of self-propelled artillery.

This self-propelled artillery is a powerful weapon for the Japanese Panzer IV tank.

The efficiency of the twin-mounted fully automatic 57mm anti-aircraft gun in attacking the Type tank was beyond the imagination of the Japanese!
But now, seeing that the Tubalu were about to catch up, the Japanese commander immediately wanted to issue an order: "Order the troops to split into three groups to cover the main force's evacuation!"

"Hai! General!"

As the Japanese armored forces were divided into three groups, the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army could not tell for a moment where the main force of the Japanese was. But it happened that at this time, a reconnaissance plane belonging to the Red Alert Air Force was flying here.

Although the dust raised by the Japanese tanks blocked the vision of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, it could not block the thermal imager on the reconnaissance aircraft.

Under the observation of the thermal imager, the Japanese devils' little movements were clearly visible.

"Ground troops, this is Sky Eye 71, the main force of the Japanese army is in the middle!"

"Roger that!"

"The main force of the Japanese army is in the middle. Comrades, start the pursuit!" (End of this chapter)
