Chapter 237 Walking the Dog on the Grassland
Border area.

Disposable RPG-80 rocket launchers are produced in rows. Compared with steel RPG rocket launchers, the production speed of this type of disposable rocket launcher with a plastic shell is faster and the plastic parts are easier to process. After the implementation of a fully streamlined production line, the scale of factories in the border area can now be made larger and larger.

The change in production methods not only improved the level of quality control, but also greatly improved production efficiency.

"Are all of them sent outside the Great Wall?" Jiang Chongjing said to Staff Officer Ye who came to inspect the work.

"Yes, send them all outside the Great Wall. The fighting is raging outside the Great Wall right now. The 7.5-route troops lack the means to restrain armor and will be very passive when facing the attack of the Japanese armored vehicles." Staff Officer Ye explained.

"Our troops have RPGs to counter the enemy, but the 7th Route 50 has almost no means to stop them. This won't do. We can't let our allies be helpless in the face of the Japanese armored forces."

These things were gradually exposed as the Japanese tank brigade appeared on the grassland.

The tank troops in the border area have not yet appeared, but a battalion of M3 tanks has secretly moved north across the Yellow River and is lurking near Qingcheng.

But in the Ulanqab, the only reliable weapons to deal with the Japanese tank brigades on the front line are RPG rocket launchers.

There were even fewer on the 37th and a half route, with only a few mm anti-tank guns.

It's still old equipment with few shells.

Therefore, the Seventh Route and a Half sent several representatives to the border area to discuss this matter.

At present, 50 RPG rocket launchers are provided to the 80th and a half troops for emergency response. However, compared with the th and a half troops, this number of RPG rocket launchers is a drop in the bucket. So after the disposable rocket launchers came out, the General Staff discussed and decided to assign a batch of disposable RPG-s to the th and a half troops, which would be more conducive to countering the attacks of the Japanese tank brigade.

Because this type of rocket launcher is more powerful and has a longer range.

On the grassland, the combat space is much wider, and the infantry on the front line can only rely on trenches to get close to the Japanese tanks.

But at the same time, the artillery fire and machine guns on the tanks are also a deadly threat to the rocket launchers in the trenches.

The RGP rocket launcher must be used by two people in cooperation, and its attack environment is much more limited than the disposable RPG-80 rocket launcher.

After all, the RPG-80 rocket launcher can be easily fired by one person. After digging a hole in the grassland and hiding himself, he can wait for an opportunity to shoot the Japanese dead when they attack. This is a tactic similar to that of the suicide squad.

It is a method for the weaker party to turn defeat into victory.

Qiluban is also very good at doing this kind of thing.

在这样的情况下，利用RPG-80实现一换一的玩命打法，小鬼子的一个战车旅团有2个战车联队，每个战车联队共计编有战车和炮战车65辆，其中36辆97式改中型战车、18辆95式轻型战车和11辆一式炮战车。

In total, a tank brigade consists of 130 tanks of various types.

It’s not a lot to say, but if we deal with it at all costs, we can just send out a suicide squad of about 200 people to accomplish the ultimate one-for-one mission.

This time, there were a total of one hundred disposable RPG-80 rocket launchers.

For the 30-route army, with the previous RPG rocket launchers, at least 5 front-line companies can be deployed, ensuring that each company has rocket launchers in front. Given the current intensity, this configuration is enough to compete with the Japanese tank brigade.

Now, outside the Great Wall, the Seventh Route and a Half and the Northern Frontier Military Region support each other. In fact, their main combat power still relies on the high mobility and firepower coverage of the powerful 107 Artillery Corps.

In addition, there is still a clear gap in weapons configuration between the 100,000-strong army of the Seven and a Half Route Army and that of the Japanese.

Although the border area has made up for the firepower weaknesses at the battalion and company levels in terms of mortars, the Type 92 infantry guns and the regiment's 7.5-route mountain artillery are weaknesses in units above the regiment level.

These weapons are urgently needed in the border areas, so the requirements of seven and a half routes cannot be met.

Now that the shortcomings of the RPG rocket launcher have been made up, the 7th and a half front lines will no longer be helpless when facing the Japanese tanks.

On the battlefield outside the Great Wall, after the 107th fire attack, the Japanese were covered with firepower and the pursuing Japanese cavalry brigade was killed.

On the grassland, there are now seven and a half routes to defend the main positions with trenches dug. The Saibei Military Region is mainly composed of four cavalry regiments and two cavalry-ized 4th Artillery Regiments, which are cruising and fighting guerrilla warfare on the periphery, and when they see an opportunity they will rush up to cover the Japanese with a wave of firepower.

Although the Japanese had a large number of cavalry battalions, they also wanted to use cavalry against cavalry to resolve the external threats, but unfortunately, after these cavalry battalions chased out, almost none of them came back!
The cavalry of the Saibei Military Region were not only equipped with 56 and a half rifles, but the latest 56 assault rifles were also quickly sent to the grasslands to be replaced. The powerful firepower on horseback was comparable to if everyone was holding a machine gun.

This made the Japanese cavalry who rushed up to fight with sabers completely confused. They were supposed to fight with technology, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a fight of firepower. Under the overwhelming firepower, the Japanese cavalry had almost no ability to resist.

After successively killing the pursuing Japanese cavalry, the Japanese knew that the cavalry was like throwing meat buns at dogs, and there was no result at all. Even though the Japanese didn't know why the grassland cavalry was so brutal, the bloody lesson was more effective than anything else.

Although each division of the Kwantung Army had a cavalry regiment, and the brigade level also had a cavalry battalion, they could not afford to kill off a cavalry battalion if one went out. If the cavalry troops were constantly led away like fishing and bled out!

I'm afraid that before the Japanese can reach Qingcheng, their cavalry brigade will be basically wiped out.

However, if the cavalry brigade is not allowed to patrol, the safety of the large army will be even less guaranteed.

The cavalry units on the grassland come and go like the wind and are more flexible than chariot units.

After reducing the patrol and alert of the cavalry brigade, the Japanese large force suffered several rounds of 107 fire covering attacks in succession. Before they even saw the enemy, the Japanese lost several thousand troops. This drove the Kwantung Army that entered the grassland almost crazy!

Before the decisive battle officially started here, the cavalry regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the artillery regiment began endless harassment and attacks. The cavalry regiment acted as sword-carrying guards all the way and beat the Japanese cavalry brigade fiercely when they attacked.

Even when they gathered two cavalry battalions to launch a surprise attack, they encountered more cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army and the Seventh Route Army. It was unknown how these Eighth Route Army soldiers communicated with each other on the prairie. It would take at least half an hour, or more than an hour, for new cavalry units to rush out to support them.

Compared with the Kwantung Army, the enemy cavalry on the grassland has more cavalry! And the knights' riding skills are also more sophisticated.

They can even use a rocket launcher to attack from horseback!

For Naosaburo Okabe, this was the second dark period in his life.

The first time was when the Saibei Military Region attacked Jiuyuan and joined forces with the Seventh and a Half Route Army to drive him out of the grassland.

Now these grassland cavalry are just like robots that never stop, bombing during the day and at night. Although they may fire two or four 2mm guns at a time, they usually finish a wave in a few minutes and then run away.

It seems like the assassin's shield is far away with one strike, but no one can bear this. Such a salvo is 24 or 48 heavy shells!
If it falls on a marching column or a camping site, it will have an indiscriminate coverage and killing range of tens of thousands of square meters.

Even if the accuracy is a little worse, with such a large coverage area, a squadron or even a battalion may be destroyed.

How could the Japanese resist this?
Among the three armies launched by the Japanese invaders, the ones advancing along the grassland are in the worst condition.

Okabe Naosaburo had been enduring the harassment and attacks from the Seventh Route and the Saibei Military Region. This was because the tank brigade fell behind and did not follow the train to the grassland, but relied on its own mobility to rush to the grassland.

Faced with the mobility of cavalry, infantry had no way to deal with cavalry on the grassland.

However, with the arrival of the tank brigade, Okabe Naosaburo felt more confident.

At the temporary command center, Naosaburo Okabe began to study and plan the range of activities of the grassland cavalry and the seven and a half defensive positions with the staff looking at the map. Since it would be impossible to defeat the cavalry from the Saibei Military Region by simply sending out cavalry, there was no need for a cavalry confrontation and they could just send out armored units to fight the cavalry directly.

Using steel to fight flesh and blood, this is the real solution.

The Japanese thought that tanks were invincible on the grassland.

However, the arrival of the Japanese tank brigade had long been noticed by the Grassland Allied Forces, who sent elite scouts to track and monitor the tank brigade's every move.

As the border region sent 100 new RPG-80 rocket launchers to the front line, the -man army was greatly encouraged after listening to the introduction, and their fear of the tank brigade was greatly eliminated.

These weapons were secretly sent to the front line to be equipped by their most elite battalions and companies.

For the Seventh Route and a Half, as long as the Saibei Military Region and the Suimeng Autonomous Army can silence the Japanese heavy weapons, he will have a 70% chance of winning this battle.

At this time, the tank battalion of the Saibei Military Region had just reached the position of CHEYYQQ.

When the tank battalion arrived here, a cavalry regiment cruising on the grassland was ordered to meet up with the tank battalion. Here, the tank battalion was supplied and rested, and minor problems found along the way were urgently repaired.

According to the forward search and positioning of the Saibei Military Region's telecommunications reconnaissance team and the reconnaissance of the scouts, the Saibei Military Region has now basically confirmed the approximate location of the Japanese Gangbu Zhi Saburo's command headquarters.

The first mission of the Grassland Tank Battalion was the same as that of the brigade commander's tank battalion, which was to target the Japanese command post and prepare to launch a fatal blow.
