Chapter 471: Earth-shattering
Chapter 471: Earth-shattering
Like all Kwantung Army officers, Yasumoto was confident in the information he had.
This is also the main reason why it was decided that at the beginning of the offensive, the volunteers who might be ambushed on both sides of the mountain stream were bombed by planes for half an hour to block their positions and destroy them first.
Aberdeen's idea was to use more than a dozen tanks to attack in three echelons on the basis of aircraft bombing, and the tanks were equipped with powerful artillery, which was enough to bring back the volunteers who had slipped through the net under the bombardment and indiscriminate bombing.
Yasumoto is really vicious enough, this kind of firepower can be said to be the first time since he became the commander of the Kwantung Army in Benxi Lake, according to his estimates, after these two waves, even if the volunteers are iron-beaten, less than half of the remaining people are left.
Of course, this is only the beginning of the crackdown.
Behind the tank, there were ironclad vehicles, which, in addition to artillery, also had heavy machine guns. These dozens of ironclad vehicles were swept again, and even if the volunteers did not lose their combat effectiveness, their ability to counterattack was gone.
Aberdeen was confident in his plans to attack with planes, tanks, and ironclad trucks.
It should be said that the combat effectiveness of tanks made in Japan is absolutely first-class, and even if it is a steep slope of about 40 degrees, this iron guy is like walking on the ground. He planned to put the ironclad car in the formation, so he put it on the mountain pass of Tiesha Mountain to guard, and he took 30,000 or 40,000 Kwantung Army and the Imperial Association Army to follow behind the tank, directly attack the lair of the volunteers, and take Tiesha Mountain directly.
This time, in addition to these heavy weapons, there were nearly 40,000 Kwantung Army and Imperial Allied Army in their hands. Aberdeen believed that even if these people stood and walked up the mountain, they would be able to level the Iron Brake Mountain.
Yasumoto knew that as long as the Iron Brake Mountain was breached, the remaining Lotus Mountain, Hulu Mountain and Wunu Mountain would be like three lonely small temples that had lost their back gates and courtyard walls.
At the thought of this, Aben's cruel grin slowly spread from his face.
Aberdeen was standing in an ironclad car with the roof open, raising the telescope in his hand and looking at the sea of fire on the mountains on both sides of the mountain stream. This guy laughed wildly, suddenly showed his command knife, and howled loudly at the valley in front of him: "Kill the chicken"
It's no wonder that Aberdeen is so confident. Because on the uneven riverbed of the mountain stream, the superiority of the tank was revealed.
Fifty or sixty kilometers of this mountain stream dirt road, if you go normally, even if you take a little devil's truck, it will take three hours. Fortunately, in less than an hour and a half, the tank was in the middle of the mountain stream.
"Volunteers, today in the coming year will be your death day. I'm going to see how you guys, who don't know how alive and dead, died at the hands of my Ben. Thinking of this, Aberdeen couldn't help but feel excited.
Under Abermoto's command, dozens of tanks and ironclad vehicles rushed to the mountain pass with murderous spirit.
"Report to the commander, the road ahead, not all the attack, the work of the canyon, the tank can only attack one by one." The team was about to enter the mountain pass, when the tank that was opening the road in front suddenly stopped, and from the first tank car, a little devil officer ran down, and he hurriedly reported to Aberdeen.
When Aberdeen heard the report of his subordinates, he couldn't help but be stunned, and instantly jumped out of the car with some anger, and while scolding, he rushed forward desperately: "What? Your nonsense, there is no canyon in front, mine has been all reconnoitred clearly, and those who lie about the military situation are dead and dead. ”
......
The rampant attack of the little devils did not frighten the volunteers on the mountain.
At this moment, Mengzi was lying on the big hill east of the mountain pass, and he saw the little devil's tank drive to the entrance of the canyon and stopped, and then many little devils got out of the car one after another to check the situation.
"Commander, do you want to fight or not? At this distance, to beat these little devils of dog days, one shot is accurate. A staff officer crouched beside him asked in a whisper.
"Don't worry, it's not time yet, let these bastards toss for a while. At this time, as soon as the little devil was beaten, he stopped rushing into the canyon, and told everyone that all of them had gone into the tunnel and hid them for me, and the little devil was going to attack the mountain with artillery fire. It doesn't matter how the little devils fight, as long as these tanks don't enter the ambush circle, we won't shoot. Mengzi was very calm, put down the binoculars, looked down the mountain, and gave orders loudly to the combat staff officer.
At this moment, Aberdeen was already angry and rushed to the front of the tank.
As soon as Aberdeto came to the front, he looked up and saw that a large canyon appeared in front of him. From a distance, this place is no different from the mountain stream in front: two mountains and a valley, but this valley is very different from the fifty kilometers of road into the mountains, and the valley in front of it, a small stream flows in the middle, and on both sides is a large area of riverbed. The creek is also not very deep, not much different from the riverbed. But this is different, at the foot of the mountain to the east, there is a riverbed with only one lane wide, and near the foot of the mountain to the west, there is a canyon that rushes out during a flash flood. This canyon, when viewed from above, can be more than ten meters deep.
"Bastards, the plainclothes team of the Imperial Cooperative Army, all of them are dead and dead, those with inaccurate intelligence, and they are fooling foreign devils." Aberdeen burst into flames and stood beside the canyon and yelled. Now, if he catches the traitor who reconnoitred and reported, he will definitely be slashed with a knife.
Aberdeen is not stupid, at this time, it is not possible to solve the problem with just two scolding, if the large army is blocked here, can not rush over in the shortest possible time, and lose the fighter, then all his plans will be in vain.
"The order was given immediately, the tanks lined up, aimed at the mountains on both sides, for half an hour's artillery fire, and then the tanks, divided into two teams to work, one team to cover, and one team to attack from here." Aberdeen* vented his anger and had to temporarily change his attack plan.
Objectively speaking, the combat quality of the Kwantung Army was strong, and as soon as Asumoto's order was issued, these tanks and ironclad vehicles in front of the canyon quickly lined up, forming a half-moon-shaped encirclement of the peaks on both sides, and then "boom, boom, boom......" opened fire.
"Commander, this little devil is so obedient, if you say that you will hit the mountains on both sides of us, it will fight." The combat staff officer hid in the tunnel, looked up at the clods of soil on the top of the tunnel that had been shaken off by artillery fire, and looked at the fierce man and teased.
"Haha, you can fool Commander Ben, but what you said also makes sense. The name of the fierce killer is really not given for nothing, as long as the master appears, the little devil has to obediently listen to the master's command! Let me tell you, the artillery fire of the little devils will not stop for half an hour. Tell the communication team to repair the damaged telephone line at any time, and to ensure that every ground is on the phone. Mengzi glanced at his watch and said very domineeringly.
"Understand, Commander, the communications squads of each battalion have all gone down to the position, as long as they find a broken telephone line, the horse will repair it." The operational staff officer hurriedly replied.
It was almost exactly the same as what Mengzi said, and the artillery fire on the mountain lasted for half an hour. However, these shells are much less violent than the bombs dropped by the little devil's plane. The little devil's plane blew up the tunnels on the two sides of the hill in several places, and if it hadn't been for the fierce man's arrangement, the top of the mountain on both sides would have been bombed and no one would have been stunned.
The shells that came from the bottom of the mountain fell on the top of the tunnel, but they only shook off some land blocks, and the big log on the top of the tunnel blew off a piece of skin.
"Report to the commander, the little devil's artillery fire has stopped." As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the combat staff officer went out to inspect and immediately reported.
"Okay, what the master is waiting for is at this time, the team that ordered the blockade to enter the position, listen to my order and then fire." As soon as he jumped out of the tunnel, he threw himself on the trench, raised his binoculars and ordered.
At the position of the Kwantung Army at the foot of the mountain, as soon as the artillery fire stopped, the tank formation changed: seven tanks, with their muzzles turned, lined up, rushed towards this narrow riverbed.
"Commander, Commander, look, the little devil's tanks have only come in, and the rest ...... All stopped at the mouth of the canyon. The operational staff officer looked at the Kwantung Army under the mountain and reported nervously.
"Well, I saw it, the master finally waited for this opportunity, and TMD was quite cooperative. Pass my orders, order the blocking troops on both sides, and as soon as these tanks of the little devils enter the ambush area, they will pull the mines for me, and then throw gasoline bottles.
As soon as the little devil's tank was paralyzed, he immediately attacked the little devil outside the mountain canyon with all his firepower, hit me hard, and told the team members that we have ammunition and don't need to save it. Prepare small forces to attack the tanks, ironclad cars, and trucks of the imps outside the canyon, and use gasoline bottles whenever they can get there. Don't rush into close combat. "Mengzi gave combat orders to the combat staff officers.
Aberdeen at the foot of the mountain, seeing that it had been fighting for such a long time, it was bombed by planes and artillery, and there was no return fire on the mountains on both sides, so he put down his snack a little. With a wave of their hands, the seven tanks of the first wave of attack drove up the narrow riverbed with a "bang".
Although this stretch of riverbed is a bit narrow, it is only about a kilometer, which is not too long.
Aberdeen looked at the tank at the back and was already getting farther and farther, he stood on his command car, anxious like a big king, stretched his neck, held a telescope, and kept watching.
The reason why Aberdeen is in such a hurry is because although this kilometer or so is not long, it is definitely a good place to ambush himself. He wanted to let his tank pass as soon as possible, as long as the tank passed and formed a formation on the opposite side, the large army could be safely and boldly inserted.
Afraid of something, this is not false at all, just when Aben was worried, suddenly, through the telescope, he saw a fire rising from the riverbed in front of him, and then there was a series ......of explosions of "boom, boom, boom, boom".
Aberdeen was stunned, and his hand holding the telescope shook involuntarily.
"Bastard, the one in front, don't stop, yours, the tank, rush over, rush over and find out the situation......" Aberdeen shouted.
Before he could reach the ground, he heard the sound of gunfire. Yasumen hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that on the peaks on both sides, countless artillery and machine-gun fireworks, like a waterfall, rushed down to his troops at the bottom of the mountain.
