Chapter 636: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron and Attacking Teng County (First Update!) )
Although the Tiger heavy tanks of the Tiger Regiment were invincible and unscrupulous, they carried limited ammunition.
In particular, the actual rate of fire of the Vulcan Gatling carried on board exceeded at least 3,000 rounds per minute.
In order to interrupt the devil's formation and create an opportunity for the follow-up troops to charge, the consumption of ammunition is very terrifying.
Therefore, over time, the threat of the Tiger Regiment's tank formations to the little devils has been greatly weakened.
The drawbacks of powerful firepower are inevitably powerful consumption.
Not only the tank formations, but also the infantry of the Tiger Regiment, the consumption was also very large.
Each soldier is limited in the amount of ammunition he can carry.
A magazine of 30 rounds is a sudden thing.
If it weren't for the fact that Yang Chen had deliberately trained them, and instructed them to know how to save bullets reasonably on the battlefield, not to shoot continuously, and to use more point fire.
I'm afraid that the ammunition they carry will be exhausted in less than two minutes.
Therefore, after the first round of fire suppression, control of fire soon began, changing from burst fire to point fire.
On the Japanese side, the reason why they preferred small-caliber bolt rifles and even advocated white-knuckle combat.
It's not because they can't make more advanced rifles, or because they can't make rifles with larger calibers and more lethality.
In the final analysis, it is because they have a narrow territory and are extremely short of supplies in their country.
Bolt rifles, even if they want to shoot the bullets all at once, the conditions don't allow it?
Therefore, bullets are saved in disguise.
The smaller the caliber of the rifle, the same gunpowder, copper and other metals can make more bullets.
At the same time, the amount of ammunition that soldiers can carry under the same load will also be greater.
I have to say that the little devil is indeed a very cost-effective nation.
"Yo Xi!"
"Enemy, it's almost over, charge me, kill the chicken!"
The group of devil officers are all battle-hardened old foxes, and none of them are generals.
When they saw the sudden drop in firepower on the Tiger Regiment's side, they were keenly aware that this could be an opportunity.
So, the order to attack was decisively given.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the third, fourth, and fifth battalions of the Tiger Regiment suddenly outflanked from the left and right flanks.
The 10th Division, which was originally the follow-up attack force, immediately stopped the frontal charge at this time and quickly divided its forces to block it.
……
Talk about two ends.
General Sun Fanglu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and although he can't talk about using soldiers like gods, he also knows the truth that soldiers are noble and fast.
Therefore, after driving the troops north, it was almost the fastest to kill Teng County.
At this time, the Tiger Regiment launched a frontal attack on the Japanese 10th Division and the 20th Division, and a fierce battle was in full swing.
The 30th Division led by General Sun Fanglu had already reached the edge of Teng County.
Then, under his order, the 30th Division, nearly 10,000 officers and men, quickly divided their troops, and with the momentum of encirclement, they went straight to the county seat of Tengxian County, which was in tatters.
I have to say that the old devil Ryosuke Isoya was angry at that time, and in order to capture Teng County in one fell swoop, he completely annihilated the Tiger Ben regiment stationed there.
The county seat of Tengxian was carpet bombed again and again.
In the end, not only did the entire Tengxian county seat be razed to the ground, but also the surrounding city walls were blown down.
If the old devil of Ryosuke Isoya knew that his previous bombing actually opened the door for the 30th Division to recapture Teng County at this time.
I don't know if I'll be so angry that I vomit blood.
The baggage wings and field hospitals of the 10th and 20th Divisions of the Japanese Army remained in Tengxian, which were guarded by less than 2,000 infantry men.
Although there are not many troops, in the eyes of the two old devils, Ryosuke Isoya and Kawagishi Bunzaburo, they are completely enough.
After all, not all Chinese troops have the same combat effectiveness as the Tiger Regiment.
If other troops attack, even if a division of tens of thousands of troops is dispatched, it may not be the opponent of the 2,000 Imperial Japanese Army.
Moreover, Taierzhuang is not far from Teng County, and it can be reached in two hours if you are hurrying up.
Therefore, these two old devils were not worried at all that the baggage troops left behind in Teng County would be attacked by the enemy.
In the eyes of the two of them, 2,000 defenders was already too much.
There was no need to even leave behind the troops, and the baggage wing alone was enough to crush all the invading enemies.
The 30th Division had nearly 10,000 elites, and General Sun Fanglu was not polite, and immediately ordered the artillery battalion directly under the division headquarters to carry out indiscriminate bombardment and artillery bombardment of the city after the troops surrounded the county seat of Tengxian County on all sides.
After that, two brigades and four regiments under his command were put into battle at the same time.
Onslaught was launched from all sides.
As mentioned earlier, the city wall of Tengxian County was blown up a lot by Japanese tanks, artillery and aircraft in the previous battles.
After the devils were stationed, they thought that this was already a safe rear.
It was not repaired at all, so the 30th division. The soldiers were able to easily flock into the city from the breaches of the collapsed walls.
At this time, it is already approaching dawn, and it is also the most relaxed time of the day.
It was winter, and the wind was bitterly cold.
Except for the devil soldiers who were on duty, the rest of the devils were basically still asleep.
"Boom, boom! ——”
After a fierce artillery bombardment of the 30th Division, many devil soldiers had already returned to their hometown in their sleep before they could react.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
However, the little devil's reaction was also very fast.
After the first round of shells fell, he decisively lifted the futon and got up from the warm bed.
"Brethren! We have no way out, this battle can only be won, not defeated! ”
General Sun Fanglu personally came to the front line of the battlefield, and under his encouragement, tens of thousands of soldiers of the 30th Division were enthusiastic and their morale was high.
In the shouting of killing, they rushed straight to the county seat of Tengxian County, where the city defense had collapsed.
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da! ——”
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang! ——”
The officers and men of the 30th Division charged and opened fire at the same time, and the bullets rained down on the city.
As soon as many devil soldiers rushed to the city wall, they were knocked to the ground by the oncoming bullets.
These little devils rushed to the battle, and they could not form effective resistance at all.
The officers and men of the 30th Division continued to advance with an unstoppable momentum.
Soon, relying on the superiority of troops and firepower, the devil garrison troops who responded to the battle in a hurry were defeated and retreated.
Ryosuke Isoya and Bunzaburo Kawagishi, two old devils, dragged the most elite troops to the front.
At this moment, the remaining troops are almost all recruits with weak combat effectiveness.
Under the powerful firepower of the 30th Division, it quickly became chaotic.
"Eight Ga Ya Road!"
"Eight Ga Ya Road!"
"No retreat, no retreat!"
Seeing that the soldiers under his command were panicked and kept retreating, a devil Shaozuo officer immediately pulled out the Wang Ba box on his waist and shot two "bangs", killing two devil officers and soldiers who took the lead in retreating.
Only then did he stabilize his position in time.
