Chapter 175: Breakthrough, Breakthrough Again!
"01 Panzer Division, assault! We are invincible! ”
The voice of Yang Lie, commander of the 01st Armored Division, came from the radio stations in each combat vehicle, which made the soldiers of the entire armored division enthusiastic.
They are the 01 division!
This is the earliest infantry division established by the East China Army, and it is the first batch of infantry divisions to be upgraded from an infantry division to an armored division, and it is also the Praetorian Guard in the East China Army.
The chairman of the CPPCC National Committee led them to fight bandits, fought the Qing army, led them to participate in the Xinhai Revolution, and participated in the war in the middle of the year or four.
They are invincible!
"Assault, assault, assault......" Many soldiers have only one thought at this time, forward, forward!
The 01st Armored Division, which rushed to the very wall, soon entered the range of the Yue Army, and the Yue Army looked at the armored monsters that were moving towards them in the distance, and picked up their rifles to shoot.
Dingdingding...... The bullets clanged at these chariots, but they had no effect, except for a few white marks on them, and the chariots were still unstoppable and moving towards them.
Several soldiers worked together to carry the heavy machine guns hidden in the ground onto the trenches, and the shooters fired wildly at the steel monsters rushing in the distance.
Dangdangdang...... There was a crisp thud, and all the bullets hit the body of a chariot, but it still had no effect, and in the distance the chariot had already run over the barbed wire.
Some barbed wire fences that had not been destroyed by artillery fire were directly run over by these tanks, and there was no ability to stop them.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Yue Army were completely panicked, they couldn't help these steel monsters with rifles and heavy machine guns, what other means did they have?
The equipment of the soldiers of the army itself belongs to a very backward type, and this time, in order to fight the Shandong War well, the political axe specially increased the firepower of artillery and light machine guns.
But even a heavy machine gun is useless, what else can a light machine gun be used for?
As for the artillery, it has been in the stage of dumb fire since the beginning of the fire.
Finally, the artillery of the Yue Army hidden in the rear began to return fire, and shells fell from the sky, but the East China Army adopted skirmisher tactics when it attacked the attack, and the resistance to the artillery was strong, and the losses were not large.
However, as soon as the guns were fired, their positions were revealed, and the Type 15 dreadnought bombers in the sky immediately swooped down on these guns like hornets.
Bombs are waiting!
At the same time, the three artillery divisions were also making barrages to attack these artillery pieces.
The bombs and shells that fell from the sky blew up the artillery that was returning fire on the spot, and at the same time killed many artillery members.
Not long after firing for a few minutes, the artillery of the Yujun Army was muted again, and there was no longer a chance to open fire, and the artillery and planes of the East China Army were constantly extending to the periphery, and once the artillery was discovered, it would definitely be destroyed as soon as possible.
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the only threat to the armored division was eliminated.
The chariot ran over the barbed wire fence and rushed into the trenches of the Japanese army, and the machine guns behind the turret of the chariot began to fire at the surrounding Japanese troops.
Then the chariots ran over the trenches, and the army did not dig any anti-chariot trenches, and the width of their trenches could not stop the advance of the chariots at all.
Many of the soldiers ran out of the trenches in terror, they didn't know how to deal with these monster-like machines, and they could only retreat in fear.
Some of the soldiers carried forward their glorious bushido spirit and shouted, "Onboard! Holding the grenade, he rushed forward, but was either killed by a machine gun on the spot or had no choice, and the grenade did not hit the weak position of the chariot, and a senseless sacrifice was made.
There are also direct grenades, but such explosions are no less effective for these tanks.
Even if these vehicles are hit in weak parts, they are generally paralyzed in place, and they can be put into battle after repairs, and the drivers in the vehicles are generally not in danger.
The 01 Armored Division, the 02nd Armored Division, and the 03rd Armored Division, these three armored divisions formed a V-shaped assault formation, and successively ran over the first line of defense of the Japanese army.
Dozens of war correspondents stood up to the cameras to record the historic battle.
One of them is Yang Liyunbian, an older junior high school student who has just graduated from school and joined the army as a war correspondent after graduation.
He was not a war correspondent flying in the sky, and he thought that kind of shooting was not suitable for him, because it could only take a general picture of the battlefield, and only on the ground could he shoot the battle up close.
As the chairman said to them: "It's not because you didn't shoot well enough, it's because you didn't get close enough." ”
He followed the infantry to the first echelon against the camera, and to his surprise, the battlefield, which originally felt like a dangerous one, made him feel like an easy run.
The Yue army in the trench in front was completely suppressed by the chariots rushing up, and it was simply unable to fire effectively at the infantry behind, and although the Yue Ben artillery in the distance fired a few shots, it was quickly blown up by the planes and artillery of the East China Army.
When Yang Liyun resisted the camera and rushed to the edge of the trench, he saw that many corpses of soldiers had appeared on the ground, and there happened to be a chariot running over the chest of a soldier of the army, and the intestines were directly crushed out, which made people feel sick and want to vomit.
This is the battlefield!
The battlefield is so brutal!
When he rushed up the trench, the will of the Yue army in the defense line had collapsed, and their flesh and blood could not resist such a steel monster at all, but there were still many Yue soldiers hiding in the trench and resisting stubbornly, these Yue soldiers hiding in the trench were suppressed and could not raise their heads, but they hid inside, waiting for the opportunity.
These steel monsters though said they could not resist when they were not good at attacking the inside of the trenches.
Most of the soldiers of the Yue army were routed to the second line of defense, and just after two groups of armored division vehicles, a group of infantry following behind rushed up, and then jumped into the trench to fight fiercely with the remaining Japanese troops in the trench.
After the soldiers of the East China Army jumped into the trench, the sound of submachine guns immediately rang out intensively, mixed with the sound of some shotguns.
When the Yue army in the trench encountered the East China Army, it often did not have time to fire even a single bullet, and the East China Army's submachine guns swept away.
If you encounter a group of Japanese soldiers, and the shotgun slams past, several Japanese soldiers will be beaten into a sieve and killed on the spot, and the death will be absolutely miserable.
Even if there were no submachine guns and shotguns, just if the rifle duel was successful, the soldiers of the East China Army could shoot five bullets in one go.
Two soldiers in a squad take turns to shoot and suppress an army of the same number as a squad. However, this situation is generally impossible, because the trench is relatively narrow, and often only two people can advance at the same time, and the fight is automatic firepower, and any precise design is a floating cloud.
And it's a puffy cloud of puffy clouds!
The army is basically not equipped with submachine guns, and even if there are, only a very small number of them, which are absolutely impossible to see on this kind of front.
Because the cost of submachine guns is too expensive, in the style of this army, such expensive equipment is basically not considered.
The East China Army is different, the East China Army produced the Type 14 submachine gun, which is an extremely inexpensive submachine gun with a simple structure and can be mass-produced.
These Type 14 submachine guns and shotguns showed their skills in the trenches, and once the army encountered the East China Army in the trenches, they had no chance to fight with bayonets, and they were knocked down by heavy fire.
The encounter in the trench is compared to the reaction speed, the rifle of the army is relatively long, and it is difficult to move the muzzle in the trench, but the submachine gun of the East China Army has no problems, and in terms of reaction speed, the reaction speed of the East China Army is definitely not slow.
Even if the soldier in front of him fell, the other soldiers in the squad would pick up their submachine guns and move on, or use light machine guns to clear the way.
The Yue army in the first trench of the Yue army was quickly cleaned up by the East China Army that jumped into the trench.
The infantry of the armored division was not responsible for the large-scale clearing of the trenches, and after a certain period of clearance, they climbed out of the trenches and continued with the chariots.
The soldiers of one of the five infantry divisions that followed in the rear jumped into the trench and began to sweep the remaining troops in the trench at a deep level, while the other four infantry divisions continued to follow the panzer division.
The three armored divisions began to rush towards the second line of defense of the army, and after Yang Liyun crossed the trench, he saw several different combat vehicles.
Strictly speaking, it is not called a chariot, but a large car with an electronic device on the back, and I don't know what it is for.
That's an electronic jamming car!
It is used to jam the military radio, and the interference radius is 20 kilometers, and the military radio within 20 kilometers cannot send and receive information normally under the interference of this jamming vehicle.
In the distance, in the front line command post, they were trying to contact the headquarters by radiophone, but no matter how they tried to consult the headquarters by radio, they could not reach the headquarters.
As for the corded phone, unfortunately it was not answered.
Yue Jun never imagined that the electronics would be interfered with, and he did not get any wired telephones after equipping them with radio telephones.
The disrupted army appeared to be very confused in command, and because it used the method of conveying commands and orders of the heralds, the command was very lagging behind.
The army organized a total of three lines of defense on the southern front, and the chariots of the East China Army had already penetrated directly into the second line of defense of the army at this time, and the reaction of the army in the second line of defense and the army of the first line of defense were exactly the same, and they were crushed by the armored division of the East China Army without any suspense in a panic.
The artillery and machine guns on the chariot ruthlessly harvested lives when they ran over the trenches, but the personnel inside the chariot were safe and sound under the blow of the rain of bullets and calmly returned fire.
The infantry in the rear quickly followed after being suppressed by the tanks, and the armored divisions without infantry were vulnerable, because the enemy could paralyze the tanks in place with various means that the tanks could not defend against, such as hiding in a foxhole and suddenly throwing a Molotov cocktail.
The establishment of an armored division is a company of six combat vehicles, and a company is hundreds of soldiers, in addition to the soldiers in the combat vehicles, the soldiers outside the combat vehicles are responsible for covering the combat vehicles, and the combat vehicles are responsible for covering the infantry, which belongs to a kind of mutual cover.
The five infantry divisions that followed behind belonged to the units used to completely deal with the enemy in the trenches.
The chariot rushed to the front, facing the inexperienced soldiers, and the first company broke through the two lines of defense of the Japanese army and was advancing towards the third line.
And because of the sudden confusion in command, the army did not have time to withdraw the soldiers in the broken defense line......
