Chapter 319: Molotov cocktails
"Nope." Okamura Ninji shook his head and said, "Miyano-kun, it's wrong for you to think so. ”
"Nani?" Miyano's Michiichi was stunned and said, "Is it wrong to think so?" Your Excellency, Commander, for your answer. ”
Okamura Ninji had a cold look in his triangular eyes hiding behind the spectacle lenses, and said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a death and a resurrection!" ”
"Death and resurrection?" Miyano said, "How do you say this?" ”
Okamura Ningji said: "Because the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army actually knows very well that they now have a large amount of heavy equipment, they can't go fast at all, and they can march fifty kilometers at most in a day!" ”
"If you carry other captured military supplies, it's even slower!"
"And the materials that can be taken away are actually very small, less than one in ten!"
"So in this case, even if they wipe out the nearest 9th Brigade, it's useless."
"Because the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division can still quickly catch up and entangle the Eighth Route Army."
"Compared with the power of road machines, the Eighth Route Army will never be able to compare with the Imperial Army, because the Imperial Army has more trucks."
"At this time, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has only two choices, either throw away all the heavy equipment and captured materials and escape from the path, or defend the spot and fight to the death with the imperial army!"
Miyano said: "The Eighth Route Army will definitely choose to escape from the small road, right?" ”
Okamura Ninji said: "In this case, they will lose all the heavy equipment and captured materials, and the heavy equipment and captured materials that they have managed to get their hands with great difficulty will be returned to the Imperial Army intact." ”
"Because of this, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will never make this choice, which is not in line with the style of the Communist Party!"
Miyano said: "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army really dares to fight a decisive battle with the imperial army?" In this case, when the 8th Brigade, the 26th Division, and the 110th Division arrived, they would not even be able to break out separately. ”
"At that time, not only will the entire 386 Brigade be wiped out, but will all their heavy equipment and captured materials still have to be returned to the hands of the imperial army?"
"So they don't choose either!" Okamura Ninji said in a deep voice, "They chose to defend Taiyuan!" ”
"Defend Taiyuan?" Miyano said, "If it's a defensive battle, the defenders do have a big advantage. ”
Okamura Ninji said: "For the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the captured heavy equipment is destined to be impossible to take away, so it is better to use it to defend the city, give full play to their effectiveness, and kill and injure the imperial army as much as possible." ”
"In this case, there may be a chance to inflict heavy losses on the First Army and find an opportunity to rush out."
"And more importantly, if you stick to Taiyuan, you still have a chance to snatch the materials away."
"Because then they will have more time to mobilize people and transfer supplies."
"I see!" Miyano Michichi said awe-inspiringly, "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is really ambitious!" ”
"They want to transport all the supplies, but also to make the captured heavy equipment play its due role before it is destroyed, so as to kill and injure the imperial army as much as possible!"
"It's really ......"
Speaking of this, Michiichi Miyano suddenly paused.
He found that he couldn't find the right adjectives to describe it.
"This is what is left to die and then to be born." Okamura Ninji said, "Wait until all the heavy equipment is almost destroyed, and wait until the imperial army suffers heavy casualties, then concentrate all the firepower and open the gap to break through!" ”
"However, this is just wishful thinking of the 386 Brigade after all."
"Since they want to defend Taiyuan, then just defend it."
"Let's see if they can inflict heavy damage on the Imperial Army and break through in the end."
"Also, let's see if they can snatch the supplies away?"
Speaking of this, Okamura Ninji shouted again: "Order, the 3rd Flying Regiment of the Air Corps immediately dispatched attack planes from Datong, Zhengding, Linfen, Handan and other airfields to bomb the forward positions of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and coordinated with the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division to launch an attack from the Zhengtai Line and the Taichang Highway. ”
"At the same time, the transport convoy of the Eighth Route Army was bombed, delaying the transfer of materials."
"In particular, we are advised to avoid cities and traffic arteries as much as possible during the bombing."
"Again, the 26th Division sent a cavalry wing to outflank Gujiao County from Anhua and intercept the Eighth Route Army transport team."
"Order again, the 41st Division will send the 41st Cavalry Wing from Qingxu County to Gujiao County, and cooperate with the 26th Cavalry Wing to intercept and kill the Eighth Route Army Transport Team!"
"Hello!"
……
Changning Town.
The vanguard of the 41st Division had already appeared in the field of view of the new regiment.
The vanguard of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army was the 3rd Combat Vehicle Detachment directly under the First Army, with more than 30 Type 95 light tanks, that is, bean fighting vehicles, plus more than 10 Vickers armored vehicles.
Then there was an infantry battalion of the 237th Wing that fought together.
Ding Wei was lying on the forward observation post, looking through the binoculars, and saw that the tanks of the devils were painted with lime with the Chinese characters "Specializing in the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment".
Seeing this, Ding Wei was a little angry.
"Damn, this is looking down on me." Ding Wei said angrily, "In the eyes of the devils, there is only Lao Li's independent group, and there is no new group for us!" ”
Qiu Debiao was also a little unconvinced: "That is, the devils of the 41st Division are blind." ”
Ding Wei said: "After the devils launch an attack, don't be in a hurry to fire, put them closer, use the Molotov cocktail that Counselor Wang said to deal with them, and give them a ruthless blow!" ”
"Dare to underestimate our new group, it's against the dog!"
"Okay." Qiu Debiao hurriedly conveyed the order.
After receiving Ding Wei's order, the soldiers closed the gun insurance one after another.
……
Less than a quarter of an hour after the preparations, the devils began the first wave of attacks.
Due to the limitations of the terrain, only four tanks were able to be deployed on the front.
So the devils don't have many troops, only two Type 95 light tanks and two Vickers armored vehicles.
There were also more than 50 devil infantry divided into four groups, followed by four tanks and armored vehicles, and rushed towards the defensive positions of the new regiment.
The tracks are rolling and dusty.
In the blink of an eye, the Devil Tank was less than 50 meters away from the forward position of the new regiment.
At this moment, dozens of Molotov cocktails were suddenly thrown out of shelters on both sides of the road.
These Molotov cocktails are made of butter-soaked cloth sock-sleeved wine bottles, which contain Fenjiu and gasoline.
As soon as these dozens of incendiary bottles hit the tank body, they shattered one after another, and then the mixture of Fenjiu and gasoline in the bottles immediately splashed and attached to the tank wall and burned.
In the blink of an eye, two tanks and two armored vehicles were engulfed in flames.
The follow-up devil infantry rushed up and tried to put out the fire, but they didn't know what to do?
The armor of the Type 95 light tank and the Vickers armored car was very thin, and metal was also a good fuse material, and under the scorching fire, the interior of the compartment soon began to heat up and turned into a high-temperature furnace.
