Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

The Japanese cavalry of the 13th Cavalry Regiment prepared Molotov cocktails to deal with the Eighth Route Army's tanks.

but,

The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is really too strong.

It was difficult for the Japanese cavalry units to approach the Eighth Route Army's encirclement even if they dismounted and fought on foot.

Although the cavalry artillery squadron set up the Type 90 mm mortar.

However, they were soon targeted by the Eighth Route Army tanks on the opposite side, and the remaining mortar troops had to quickly move their positions.

Yuxiong Nishizawa couldn't stand Maeda Takao's arrogant look.

This man relied on his position as the captain of the tank regiment and did not take the cavalry unit seriously at all.

However, Nishizawa Yuxiong was also very clear that if the Eighth Route Army's tanks were not destroyed, the Eighth Route Army's vanguard would not be destroyed at all.

Once the main force of the Eighth Route Army arrives, the 13th Cavalry Regiment and the 7th Tank Regiment will most likely be surrounded and killed.

Nishizawa Yongxiong took a deep breath and said, "Order the death squad to go around to the rear and attack, setting fire to the Eighth Route Army tanks from behind."

"Hi!"

Following Nishizawa Yuxiong's order.

"Onboard!"

Two cavalry squads of about 100 Japanese soldiers, armed with homemade Molotov cocktails and anti-tank grenades, began to charge.

"Order the cavalry artillery squadron to fire smoke bombs at the Eighth Route Army positions to cover the cavalry suicide squad!"

Yuxiong Nishizawa issued another order.

Although the battlefield was filled with smoke, the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side could definitely see the cavalry suicide squad attacking the Japanese army.

Firing smoke bombs would give the cavalry suicide squad the opportunity to approach the Eighth Route Army tanks.

“Boom boom boom!!”

The remaining Type 90 mortars were set up, and smoke bombs were fired at the area where the Eighth Route Army was located. The smoke effect of the Type mm mortar was very good, and the position of the Eighth Route Army's vanguard was soon filled with smoke.

The Japanese did not launch poison gas bombs. The Eighth Route Army soldiers only had gas masks in their hands, and the power of poison gas bombs was not as strong as that of ordinary bombs.

If the Eighth Route Army did not have gas masks, in the terrain of Xinzhuang, the Eighth Route Army would lose its combat effectiveness after a few rounds of poison gas bombs from the Japanese.

It has to be said that this move of the Japanese was very useful. The smoke bombs not only blocked the vision of the Eighth Route Army tank drivers, but also blocked the vision of the Eighth Route Army infantry.

Without outside vision, the tanks did not dare to drive out rashly.

The Japanese cavalry rushed over from all directions. Without the protection of the infantry, they were easily hit by Molotov cocktails and anti-tank grenades thrown by the Japanese.

In the Japanese artillery attack just now, the Eighth Route Army had lost 3 tanks, leaving only 9.

The firepower of the 9 tanks cannot be underestimated. Without destroying these 9 tanks, the Japanese obviously cannot defeat the Eighth Route Army.

Taking advantage of the smoke, the Japanese cavalry and infantry quickly approached the Eighth Route Army's circular position.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

A company commander asked Wei Dayong, saying that he had never encountered such a situation before.

In previous wars, artillery would fire a few rounds first, then tanks would lead the way, and the infantry would follow behind to reap the spoils.

Today they were bombarded by an artillery regiment of the Japanese, and were surrounded and attacked by a cavalry regiment and a tank regiment.

If it were a regiment of the National Army, it would have been wiped out by the Japanese long ago.

but,

The current situation is very critical. The Japanese are still firing smoke bombs, completely blocking their vision.

"How to do?"

"Keep firing!"

Monk Wei looked fierce.

Just now, he used a 56mm and a half rifle with a 4x scope to fire continuously and killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. The damn Japanese soldiers had no moral ethics and fired smoke bombs.

At the headquarters of the 13th Cavalry Regiment of the Japanese Army, Colonel Yuxiong Nishizawa raised the corner of his mouth slightly as he watched the Cavalry Suicide Squad approaching the Eighth Route Army position.

"Yoshi..."

"The Tank Regiment is worthless. If we want to fight, our Cavalry Regiment is the best."

Although the Eighth Route Army's firepower was very strong, half of the cavalry suicide squad with loincloths tied on their foreheads were shot dead.

However, another half of the cavalry suicide squad approached the Eighth Route Army's position.

As long as the cavalry rushed into the position and threw the lit Molotov cocktails at the Eighth Route Army tanks, the battle would basically be declared a victory.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A burst of rapid machine gun fire rang out, and the cavalry suicide squad that was about to approach the Eighth Route Army's position was thrown to the ground, and fell off their horses, wailing.

"what's the situation?"

Nishizawa Yuxiong was suddenly startled and quickly raised the telescope to look to the other side.

He saw that more than 30 Eighth Route Army tanks had approached the battlefield from the southwest at some point and were firing at his cavalry suicide squad.

Only a few cavalry suicide squads rushed into the Eighth Route Army's position.

However, as soon as they entered the position, they were riddled with machine guns and semi-automatic rifles.

Looking at the cavalry suicide squad that was about to succeed but failed at the last moment, Nishizawa Yuxiong almost got angry.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army reinforcements have arrived."

A Japanese staff officer ran over to report.

Not far away, the Eighth Route Army's huge convoy arrived, and one by one the Eighth Route Army infantrymen were jumping off the trucks and rushing over here.

Xi Ze Yong Xiong was furious: "I saw it, pass the order, retreat immediately!"

If they don't retreat now, it will be the Japanese cavalry regiment and tank regiment that will be engulfed.

As the order was issued, the remaining troops of the Japanese cavalry regiment and tank regiment quickly retreated towards Datong.

"Reinforcements have arrived. Pass on my order to attack!" Monk Wei shouted loudly.

Immediately, 9 tanks and hundreds of soldiers, along with more than 30 reinforcement tanks, gave chase.

Although the strategic goal of the center blossom was not achieved, Monk Wei would not miss the opportunity to strike hard at the downfall.

"Da da da……"

"Boom boom boom..."

The tank machine guns and cannons continued to fire, and the Japanese cavalry were shot and killed one by one, and the Japanese tanks were blown up one by one.

but,

The Japanese were obviously well prepared. After all, they were cavalry and tank units, so they fled very quickly.

Moreover, after the Japanese were defeated and passed a bridge, the Japanese engineers quickly blew up the bridge.

But the Japanese infantrymen who cooperated with the 7th Tank Regiment were in a miserable state. They could not run as fast as the tanks and cavalry, and were soon caught up and strafed by the tank troops of the Eighth Route Army, and then crushed into pools of flesh and blood by the tank tracks.

……

In the headquarters of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, Major General Ohga Shigeru looked at the embarrassed Yuxiong Nishizawa and Takao Maeda with an extremely gloomy expression.

Yuo Nishizawa and Takao Maeda had dark expressions on their faces. They lowered their heads and said nothing, not daring to look Ohga Mo in the eye.

"How many troops are left in your two regiments?"

"There are only about 500 cavalrymen left in the cavalry regiment. The Eighth Route Army reinforcements arrived too quickly."

"The tank regiment still has 18 tanks, and the infantry has almost been completely destroyed..."

More than two hours ago, they were still looking so arrogant and thought they could defeat the vanguard battalion of the Eighth Route Army, but they were slapped in the face so quickly.

A cavalry regiment and a tank regiment were directly crippled.

The remaining troops were basically the Japanese reserve forces, and the cavalry and tank troops sent to attack had basically been wiped out.

"idiot……"

"waste."

After cursing twice, Major General Ohgamo was still not satisfied, so he slapped the two old Japanese devils, Yuxiong Nishizawa and Takao Maeda, in the face.

Major General Ohga Mo made a rough calculation in his mind and found that in less than an hour of fighting, the Locust Army had lost more than 800 cavalrymen, more than 30 tanks, and nearly 1 infantrymen who were proficient in infantry-tank coordination tactics.

I, Major General Ohgamo, am heartbroken!
Whether it is the cavalry or the chariot troops, they are all noble troops of the Locust Army.

"Hi!!" x2
The two old Japanese soldiers didn't dare to talk back and could only nod their heads.

"During the retreat, the engineers of the tank regiment blew up the Daluzhuang Bridge, and the Eighth Route Army's mechanized troops could not get through for several hours." Maeda Takao said with his head down.

This bridge is the only way from Heyuan County to Datong. Although the bridge is only a dozen meters long, it can completely block the Eighth Route Army's tanks and trucks from moving forward.

Ohga Mo's expression changed, this is a good idea.

Their mission was to delay the attack of the Eighth Route Army's mechanized forces, not to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army.

"General."

But at this moment, a staff officer rushed in and reported to Ohgamo:

"Just now the forward observation post reported that the Eighth Route Army engineers are building a bridge and requesting artillery support."

Ohga Shigeru, Maeda Takao, Nishizawa Yuo and other Japanese soldiers quickly climbed onto the roof and looked towards Dalu Village. Sure enough, they saw the Eighth Route Army building a bridge. It was not a floating bridge, but a new bridge built directly with steel rails and steel plates.

"Nani?"

The expressions of the Japanese soldiers suddenly changed.

"Order the mountain artillery regiment to bombard Dalu Village immediately."

"Where's the 21st Flying Regiment?"

"Why hasn't the aviation support arrived yet?"

Major General Ohgamo asked angrily.

"Reporting to the brigade commander, the 21st Aviation Regiment has gone to reinforce the Guards Division." The communications staff officer replied with his head down.

"idiot……"

Major General Ohgamo said angrily, "We can't stop the Eighth Route Army's mechanized troops, let alone the Imperial Guards Division. Even the temporary field heavy artillery division will be destroyed. Please ask the aviation unit to reinforce immediately and bomb the Eighth Route Army's bridge-building troops and mechanized troops." (End of this chapter)
