Chapter 222: Overwhelming
The Bazooka that Zhang Xinghan chose for the troops is the M9A1 model, which is relatively more mature than their predecessors such as the M1, and is more stable in all aspects.
Historically, this bazooka was used by the Yankees in the Korean War, until it encountered a torrent of steel composed of the North Korean Army's T34/85 and IS-2 heavy tanks.
It's just a little overwhelmed.
This forced the birth of Super Bazooka, that is, the rocket launcher equipped by the Northeast New Army can be used for at least another ten or two years without being backward.
After all, this thing came out 40 years later, and now Zhang Xinghan has made it come out several years earlier than the Zero fighter.
Of course, this is only relatively speaking, and who knows if with the new army in the northeast equipped with Bazooka will lead to a drive that will force other countries to follow suit and improve the ability of Bazooka's opponents in all aspects?
This is also known as mutual stimulation, and oppression generates momentum, which leads to progress.
The bazooka is not a difficult technical weapon, and generally people with a little experience in artillery can do it.
Then Zhang Xinghan, an all-round special soldier, will teach him hand in hand, words and deeds.
It was easy to grasp its prowess, and it was with excitement that a one-day test launch began.
From the initial excitement to the final excitement, the inner state of the artillerymen in the day has changed greatly.
Some people were even more excited, and shouted at Zhang Xinghan regardless of their humility: "Commander, this thing is so easy to use, with it, it will be much easier for us to deal with the little devils who are waiting for us to get up and wait for us." ”
Zhang Xinghan smiled with satisfaction, this is what he wanted, and instructed: "This bazooka is developed to deal with the enemy's fortifications and the enemy behind the hidden bunker, in addition, it also has a great use, that is, anti-tank."
You have to remember that you must not let it fall into the hands of the army in battle, and even if you want to die, you must destroy it at all costs before you die, understand? ”
The artillerymen responded to him neatly with the most deafening sounds.
"Have a good rest, early tomorrow morning, I hope that with your help, our blue sky and white flags can be planted all over Yingkou City as soon as possible." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.
Zhang Xinghan only equipped the 1st Division of Reading Power with 300 bazooka in the early stage, not that it didn't want to have more, and even wanted each infantry squad to have one, in street fighting, this thing must be much better than the grenadier of the little devil.
Whether it is power or range, the key is that it can not only work and hit people, but also has the ability to fight anti-tank and armored vehicles, one hit and one accurate, much stronger than a grenadier.
It's just that, in a short time, it is not very realistic to train too many artillerymen capable of using bazookas.
It is already the limit for a reader to draw five or six hundred artillerymen to serve as rocket troops, with two people per bazooka, the main and secondary shooters, one carrying bazookas, and the other carrying ammunition.
You can't turn all the officers and men of the division who can shoot artillery into rocket soldiers, right? Artillery regiments and other artillery pieces have to be by someone, right?
Moreover, in terms of the size of the city in terms of the strength of the enemy and us in Yingkou, it is enough for one division to be equipped with 300 rocket launchers.
Basically, every assault force is guaranteed to have three or five bazookas.
It's enough to make sure they need to advance.
As soon as Bazooka was put in, the effect was immediately apparent.
The day before yesterday, the attack suffered a defeat and suffered heavy losses, and today's attack again will be much smoother.
This time, Liang Tingguang led a platoon of nearly 50 officers and men, including four Bazooka rocket launchers, and under the cover of three No. 4 tanks, they continued to advance along the street they had attacked the day before yesterday.
The reason why they were still allowed to attack the same way was that they were more familiar with the terrain and environment here than other squads.
With the lesson of last time, this time, the three No. 4 tanks did not all go ahead, but started with one, one in the center, and the other at the rear.
Liang Tingguang and more than 50 officers and men followed behind the three No. 4 tanks in three groups, vigilantly and slowly advancing.
When they had not gone far through the place where they had been ambushed the day before yesterday, they were ambushed by the devils again, and this time the devils not only appeared on the top floor of the building, but even the machine guns roared on the sealed windows on the second floor.
Dazzling tongues of fire spewed out, and dense bullets rained down.
However, after suffering losses, the officers and soldiers in the Northeast were extremely vigilant, and almost at the moment when the devils opened fire, they scattered in all directions, relying on tanks to dodge.
As a result of the timely evasion, less than five hapless soldiers were hit, three were killed on the spot, two were wounded, and lay on the ground with a terrible howl.
Soon, the other soldiers dragged the two wounded companions behind the tank and took refuge.
Liang Tingguang was also hiding behind a tank at the moment, using the blind spot of the devil's machine gun to dodge, and the armor above his head was hit by the dense bullets.
Lifting off his steel helmet, Liang Tingguang yelled at his subordinates: "What about the bazooka? If you see that the enemy is in a position, give me a bang! ”
"Yes!" Eight bazooka officers and men began to move one after another, relying on tanks and obstacles, and quickly locked on to the target.
Whoosh whoosh ...... Four rockets were fired in vain, dragging long tail flames straight towards their respective targets.
Rumble... Rumble... Rumble... Several loud noises suddenly burst out in several places where the devil was hiding.
A rocket accurately hit a sealed window on the second floor, and the huge scorching shock wave instantly shattered the window, and the two devil machine gunners hiding behind the window were directly blown away.
A crooked light machine gun was also blown up and deformed.
As for the several devil machine guns on the roof of the building, they were directly blown down by the people with guns, and the broken wall masonry danced like a goddess scattering flowers.
Scattered everywhere.
The billowing smoke has not yet cleared, and the fire points of several devil ambushes have all been muted.
Liang Tingguang stood out from behind the tank in some surprise and looked up at the explosion point where the smoke was billowing and the flames were not clearing.
couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Damn! ”
The other soldiers raised their guns and cheered, talking excitedly from ear to ear.
Liang Tingguang raised the submachine gun in his hand and roared confidently: "Brothers, keep attacking!" ”
The three No. 4 tanks started again, and all the dozens of officers and men, except for four who were left behind to take care of two wounded comrades, followed the tanks and continued their indomitable attack.
February 3, the 22nd year of the Republic of China, is destined to be the Bazooka bazooka to shine.
When ambushing various buildings, large and small, in the city, alleys, alleys, and alleys, ambushing the attacking troops of the Northeast New Army.
A scorching high-powered cannonball dealt them a heavy blow.
To the surprise of the devil soldiers, these shells were actually fired from the weapons on the shoulders of the infantry of the Northeast New Army.
It was a weapon they'd never seen before, but they had the privilege of learning about its power.
Because it can be carried on its shoulders and fought with individual soldiers, its flexible surname is extremely powerful, especially in street battles where it is difficult for various artillery to make a difference, its power and role are fully exerted.
In this way, Yingkou City, which was defended by more than 30,000 Japanese troops, was broken through by the First Division of Reading Power in less than a day.
It was said that the army lost more than half of it, and the rest of the army hastily withdrew from Yingkou City and fled in the direction of Dalian.
There is no doubt that the Yue army, which abandoned the city and fled, was soon pursued by Li Zhenyuan's armored group.
In previous siege battles, tanks and armored vehicles could not be massively involved in the battle.
Only a small number of tanks were sent to attack with the infantry.
Therefore, the officers and men of several tank regiments were already on the verge of suffocation, and as soon as the little devils withdrew, they immediately swarmed up like a swarm of sharks smelling blood.
On the retreat road from Yingkou to Dalian, more than 10,000 devils who withdrew from Yingkou City were under the double attack of the air force of the Northeast New Army and the armored troops on the ground.
Even Gaizhou was defeated before it could arrive, and so far, the defenders of Yingkou have more than 30,000 devils and have lost everything.
In the evening of the same day, the 1st Division of the Northeast New Army, with the assistance of armored troops, took advantage of the situation to capture Gaizhou, and the troops were directed at Dalian.
…………………… It was night, Haicheng County, Zhang Xinghan's temporary line, the lights were bright.
"Commander, Gaizhou has been taken, and we will be able to march to Dashiqiao early tomorrow morning." Zhao Zhenfan, the commander of the 2nd Division of Reading Power, reported to Zhang Xinghan with an excited face.
"How is the deployment of the army at the big stone bridge?" Zhang Xinghan asked.
"Not much, there is no danger to defend the big stone bridge, and the main forces of the army should be gathering in Dalian now!" Zhao Zhen Fan Road.
"Okay." Zhang Xinghan pressed the conference table lightly, glanced at Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe, and ordered: "The 2nd Division, the 3rd Division will set off immediately, and arrive in Gaizhou tonight.
At the same time, in my name, I would like to inform the officers and men of all divisions that this battle will be the last battle on the Liaodong Peninsula, and that after the recovery of Dalian, there will be no more fighting in the three eastern provinces for a short time, and that the officers and men of all divisions must go all out to make new contributions to the country and the nation! ”
"Yes!" Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe stepped forward at the same time, and their eyes unabashedly revealed excitement.
…………………… Dalian, headquarters of the Kwantung Army.
The atmosphere was a little depressing, and Toranosuke Hashimoto had just reported the news of the loss of Yingkou to Muto Nobuyoshi, an old devil.
Muto Nobuyoshi, who will step down and return to his hometown tomorrow, frowned at the moment, and only after a long time did he raise his head with an unwilling tone and asked, "Hashimoto-kun, is the new army in the northeast really so strong that it can't be increased?" 30,000 imperial troops held the city to the death, and they couldn't resist it even for a day? ”
"General, according to the report of the soldiers who escaped by luck, the Chinese army that attacked Yingkou was equipped with a high-powered artillery gun carried by an infantry man carrying a shoulder-carried gun, this weapon is extremely conducive to street fighting, its range is long, flexible and strong, and the power is also very great, the imperial army can be said to be defeated by this new artillery." Toranosuke Hashimoto explained.
