Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

At this point, the Japanese tank and armored vehicle units, including two Type 7 light tanks, ten Douding tanks, and three Type armored vehicles, were completely destroyed by the independent battalion's artillery company using RPG-s and lost their combat effectiveness.

Among them, the one closest to the defensive position was the Type 95 light tank that was destroyed last.

The distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters!

This means that if the independent battalion did not have the RPG-7 anti-tank weapon, the Japanese army would really rely on its powerful armor capabilities to directly break through the first line of defense.

Fortunately, the independent battalion was equipped with RPG-7, which caught the Japanese tank and armored forces off guard.

The RPG-7 rocket launcher achieved impressive results in its first actual combat operation.

The hit rate is over 50%.

The reason for such a high hit rate is that the Japanese tank and armored vehicle units were completely unaware of the power of the RPG-7 and underestimated the enemy.

Advance all the way!

Completely under the gun.

At the same time, it was the first time they encountered RPG weapons and they had no idea how to deal with them.

Taking all factors into consideration, the RPG-7 achieved an impressive result of destroying 15 tanks and armored vehicles in its first anti-tank combat.

Zhao Donghai, Li Deming and Zhou Weiguo, who were on the defense line, were shocked when they saw the enormous power of RPG-7, and their faces were filled with joy and excitement.

This RPG-7 is a good thing!

The RPG-7 was only recently equipped to the independent battalion, so many people have never seen it.

This was the first time everyone saw the RPG-7.

Especially on such a fierce battlefield.

Xu Hu was shocked to see the RPG-7 destroy so many tanks and armored vehicles so quickly after it appeared on the scene. He said excitedly, "Captain, that... that's an anti-tank weapon? Isn't it too powerful?"

Zhou Weiguo also looked surprised and said: "It is really powerful to take down a tank or armored vehicle with one shot!"

Xu Hu: "Captain, with such powerful and advanced weapons, we can definitely defend the Xinzhongcun base!"

The emergence of RPG-7... directly eliminated the tank and armored threat posed by the Japanese and puppet troops.

Otherwise, the soldiers would have to rush forward and use explosives, their bodies, and their lives to stop the tanks' advance.

Zhou Weiguo: "Let's repel the Japanese attack first! Hit them hard!"

bang bang bang...

Da da da......

clap clap clap...

After seeing the arrogant and rampant Japanese tanks and armored vehicles being destroyed, the soldiers of the independent battalion were greatly encouraged and their morale soared. They immediately launched a fierce counterattack against the Japanese and puppet troops.

Puff puff puff puff...

Faced with such strong firepower, the Japanese and puppet troops continued to fall.

The Japanese soldiers and puppet troops who were charging and attacking were all stunned when they saw their tanks and armored vehicles being destroyed one after another.

You know, these are the weapons and equipment they are proud of!

But now it seems vulnerable in front of the independent battalion.

When the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, the morale of the Japanese and puppet troops of the 101th Regiment and the st Regiment dropped instantly.

Looking at the fierce firepower of the independent battalion, the fear in my heart was also spreading.

This is changing!

The results can be imagined.

Many puppet soldiers and even Japanese soldiers showed signs of fear in battle.

However, because of the presence of the Japanese warlords, they did not dare to desert on the battlefield and could only charge forward.

clap clap clap...

Da da da......

Rumble...

Bullets flying everywhere!

Bullets are flying!

The two sides engaged in a very fierce battle.

The Japanese and puppet army's assault troops had no way to advance due to the desperate resistance of the independent battalion soldiers and remained more than a hundred meters away.

..................

Pingzipo.

Temporary headquarters of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army.

Masao Kiyomizu, Taro Koizumi, Lu Shitang and others have been using telescopes to observe the entire process of the battle in front of them.

At the beginning, the artillery company's firepower covered and bombarded the Japanese and puppet troops who were charging and attacking, which surprised Qingquan Masao a little: "This... the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is so powerful?"

"The artillery capability of a battalion is almost as good as that of our brigade!"

Lu Shitang said slowly: "General, as the battle progresses, the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion is refreshing our cognition again and again. We must be careful in dealing with this battle!"

Brigade Chief of Staff Taro Koizumi said: "Yes, the Eighth Route Army's 717 artillery equipment has always been very poor!"

"But now that an independent battalion-level combat unit has so many artillery pieces, we should be vigilant. We must not underestimate the enemy!"

Qingquan Masao took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Indeed... the strike capability of this artillery is beyond my expectations!"

Soon, the Japanese and puppet troops charging in the front entered the independent battalion's formation area.

Seeing this scene, Qingquan Masao's face changed and he said, "Bagayaloo... This Eighth Route Army is really cunning, using the ground array again!"

Taro Koizumi: "Using a ground formation on a battlefield like this is a big problem."

"Besides, we still can't clear the mines. This mine array will probably cost us a lot of casualties and a lot of money!"

Qingquan Masao's face was solemn.

But there is no way.

Sooner or later, someone will have to clear the mines at the cost of his own life.

However, most of those charging in the front were from the 101st Regiment of the th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army, which made Kiyomizu Masao feel better.

However, Lu Shitang was not feeling well.

After all, the 101st Regiment is his unit!

Now the Japanese let the 101st Regiment charge in the front, and they are used as bullets and ground missiles.

Lu Shitang was angry.

But I dare not speak out!

He knew very well that the Japanese did not treat their Imperial Army as human beings, but he could only greet them with a smile.

This is the shame of being a traitor!

They are not human inside or outside.

Lu Shitang stood aside in silence.

After suffering heavy casualties, the Japanese and puppet army's assault troops finally approached the first line of defense in Xinzhong Village.

Both sides came within each other's firing range.

A fierce gun battle began.

Qingquan Masao held a telescope and observed the number of soldiers of the independent battalion in the trenches of the first defensive position of Xinzhong Village and the bunker tower. He was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Where...where did so many Eighth Route Army soldiers come from?"

"There are at least 2,000 people in this trench line."

Seeing the number of soldiers on the first line of defense in Shin-Nakamura, Qingquan Masao was dumbfounded...

When Masao Kiyozumi saw the tragic situation of the battle on the independent battalion's defensive position through the telescope, he was stunned for a moment and looked at the scene in disbelief.

Kiyozumi Masao put down the telescope, widened his eyes, looked at Koizumi Taro next to him and said, "This... Koizumi-kun... what's going on?"

"Why are there still more than 2,000 people in their independent battalion's defense position?"

"Our airstrikes and artillery fire were just hitting the air? They had no effect at all?"

The reason why Masao Kiyomizu was so surprised and shocked was unbelievable.

That's because he felt that the independent battalion would definitely suffer casualties in the previous air raid, bombing and artillery fire, and it was impossible for more than 2,000 troops to appear in the defensive position.

How could the independent battalion have no casualties under such fierce bombardment?

Apparently, Masao Kiyozumi still thought that the independent battalion only had more than 2,000 soldiers!

Before attacking the independent battalion, the Japanese intelligence department would naturally find out the strength of the independent battalion.

Therefore, the Japanese intelligence network had previously figured out the relevant situation: although the independent battalion was only a battalion in number, it had more than 2,000 soldiers.

However, what the Japanese intelligence network did not expect was that the independent battalion expanded by more than 2,000 people to a total strength of more than 5,000 in less than ten days.

To put it simply, the information about the independent battalion in Masao Kiyomizu's hands was out of date.

He didn't know that the independent battalion now had more than 5,000 soldiers.

There is no way, the independent battalion is expanding too fast.

Furthermore, even if the independent battalion now has only more than 2,000 people, the Japanese air strikes and artillery coverage will not cause too many casualties to the independent battalion, because they have all entered the tunnels and bunkers.

However, all this...Kiyuzumi Masao, Riku Shido and Koizumi Taro knew nothing about it.

Taro Koizumi was also shocked when he saw this scene.

I don't know how to explain it.

On the one hand, he didn't know how many people there were in the independent camp.

On the other hand, he was not clear about the fortifications of the independent battalion's defensive positions and was unaware of the existence of bunkers and tunnels.

Koizumi Taro was also stunned, and said in surprise: "This...this...this I am not sure about!"

"Logically speaking, our aviation and artillery units bombarded their defensive positions so fiercely that they must have suffered heavy casualties!"

"But now it seems that their military strength is still more than 2,000 people... This is really incredible."

As a veteran with rich combat experience, he can naturally estimate the number of people on the battlefield at a glance.

Qingquan Masao murmured, "This is really weird! They can actually survive such fierce artillery fire!"

Lu Shitang beside him hesitated for a moment and said, "General, Chief of Staff, according to the intelligence we have received, although the independent battalion is a battalion, it has more than 2,000 soldiers!"

"In my opinion... although our air strikes and bombings have caused a lot of casualties on them, there are still more than 2,000 people on the battlefield, so there is only one possibility."

"That is, they gathered the troops from the left and right sides to the front defense position, and concentrated almost all the troops on this line of defense!"

Masao Kiyozumi and Taro Koizumi nodded slightly, thinking that Lu Shitang's analysis made sense.

Before the bombing, there were more than 2,000 people.

After the bombing, there were still more than 2,000 people.

Then it is very likely that the independent battalion will concentrate all its forces on the first line of defense.

This is the only way to maintain more than 2,000 people after the casualties caused by the bombing.

Taro Koizumi was silent for a moment, then he looked at Masao Kiyozumi and said, "General Kiyozumi, if it is true as Brigade Commander Lu said, then this means that the independent battalion will not have many troops on the left and right sides of the defense line!"

“Although there are steep slopes on both sides, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack, I think this may be a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation!”

Kiyozumi Masao: "Oh... Koizumi-kun, tell me what you think!"

Taro Koizumi: "Since the independent battalion has gathered heavy troops on the front line, there must not be many troops on the left and right sides of the defense line!"
