Chapter Fifty-Eight: Full of Confidence, Defeated

After the attack was launched, Ikeda had been observing the battle with a telescope, but he could not have imagined that in less than ten minutes, the cavalry he had sent would be completely wiped out, and he could not even do it at close range. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ikeda's body kept trembling, naturally not because of excitement, he took in all the scenes just now, and his current expression seemed to be frightened, angry, and crazy.

Ikeda didn't expect this to happen at all, because he got information that the enemy's armor-piercing projectiles were very strong and could pierce several tanks at once, but they had no high-explosive effect and could only damage one line.

In this case, as long as all the troops are not neatly lined up in a line, even if the opponent's shells can penetrate the earth, they will not be able to cause many casualties to the scattered personnel, and this problem will basically be avoided.

From the first battle when the opponent's tank was alone, some high-ranking Japanese soldiers who knew how to cooperate with the infantry and tanks thought that Wei Qidong did not understand the combat method of the tank at all, so they gave Sakagaki Seishiro more advice on how to quickly approach the opponent's tank. As long as you get close to the tank, no matter how strong the opponent is, you can only be slaughtered. That's why I thought of cavalry, motorized foot, automobiles and other means.

Ikeda Jun was also explained by these people about his tactics, but he didn't expect that as soon as the opponent appeared, it was not as he said, where there was only one tank and at least two platoons of soldiers accompanying him. To make matters worse, instead of taking the initiative to attack, the other side stopped at a distance of more than a thousand meters and built a fortification.

Well, this is not the worst-case scenario, as long as the Imperial Japanese Army can quickly break through the opponent's defenses, it will still be able to achieve the purpose of the battle.

The scene that happened after the attack, that completely subverted the previous bullshit theory, what the other side used armor-piercing bullets, can only hit one line, he Ikeda Jun has never seen such a powerful tank gun, a large explode, in the center of the explosion directly became scum.

Eda suppressed his anger and quickly began his second set of combat strategies, which was to attack with a three-wheeled motorized attack. One side tricycle is equipped with two Japanese soldiers, one is a rider and the other is a machine gunner, and one advantage of this configuration over the front cavalry is that it can be suppressed by fire when marching, and at the same time, the side three wheels are lower than the Oriental horse, and it is easier to control.

"Kill to ......" After tidying up the team, Ikeda snarled again.

This time, however, Ikeda was so clever that he did not dare to send them all at once, but instead carried out the attack method of dispersing them in batches, spreading out as many vehicles as possible at a time, and then sending the next batch after a certain distance. In this way, even if the enemy tank gun covers a wide area, it will not cripple the entire team with a single shot. Loading tank guns took time, which gave the Imperial Japanese Army a chance to approach.

Seeing the Japanese army's offensive formation, Wei Qidong saw their tactical purpose at a glance.

"Big pillar, you're in charge of the left. Erkui, you are in charge of the right side. Don't put it too close, you can hit it at a distance of about a thousand meters. Wei Qidong immediately gave an order to the two vehicle-mounted machine gunners.

"Yes." Dazhu and Erkui responded at the same time.

Wei Qidong himself, on the other hand, had already fully loaded the M1028 gunfire shotguns, and the muzzle was still in the middle of the Japanese charging team.

With a "bang", as the flames in the muzzle spread into a fireball, the body of the M1028 gunfire shotgun surged out, shuttling through a short space distance, and it was imminent.

"Boom", a Japanese soldier in the middle was hit head-on, and it exploded directly into a ball of iron shell. As the body of the projectile exploded, more than 1,000 tungsten alloy projectiles were scattered indiscriminately around.

"Ahhh......h

The rider had an accident, and the side three wheels ran out of control, and some explosives placed in the body were also detonated, blowing up the side three wheels into a ball of fire. However, those who escaped the catastrophe did not stop, and still charged desperately.

Wei Qidong didn't even look at it, quickly loaded the shell, and then shot out again. Wei Qidong only fixed to fight the Japanese troops at a distance of about 1,000 to 1,500 meters, so there was basically no need to adjust the firing direction of the muzzle, and from this distance, the Japanese charging team was ruthlessly stripped of a layer.

When the few fish that slipped through the net rushed close to about a thousand meters, Dazhu and Erkui quickly attacked.

The "Da ......" pillar attacked first, and Er Kui also quickly started, and the 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm machine guns strafed.

Not to mention the 12.7 mm one, even if it is a 7.62 mm bullet, it can easily tear the iron sheet of the side three wheels, and one by one the Japanese cavalry fell directly on the saddle, and the side three wheels that lost control ran over the corpses of the previous batch of Japanese soldiers and horses, and directly overturned, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

Wei Qidong put Dazhu and Erkui in charge of the short distance of 300-1000 meters, and handed it over to Dong Biao and his troops in the first 300 meters. Of course, under the combined attack of Wei Qidong and Dazhu's two firepowers, there is no one who can rush to within 300 meters.

"Kill to ......" Ikeda watched his team fall on the offensive route one by one, but he did not stop the operation, and still frantically sent out a motorcycle charge, even equipped with bicycles, and one by one the Japanese soldiers carried explosive bags and rode bicycles wildly.

The empty forward position was slowly filled with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, horses, and the wreckage of side three-wheelers and bicycles.

And as these corpses and wreckage blocked the way forward, the Japanese charge became even more difficult, and the side three-wheelers and bicycles had difficulty finding a road with gaps to pass, not only slowing down, but even easily overturning.

"Your Excellency Ikeda, don't attack anymore, don't attack anymore...... "One of the Japanese soldiers Nakasa couldn't stand it anymore, and threw himself down beside Ikeda, crying bitterly and pleading.

Ikeda's eyes were already blood-red and frenzied, and this shout seemed to wake him up a lot, and when he raised his left hand was about to give the order to continue the attack, it finally slowed down, and then hung down weakly.

With his left hand hanging down, Ikeda seemed to have exhausted all his strength at once, like a gambler who had lost all his muscles, and he was a little crazy.

However, before he set out, Ikeda promised Seishiro Sakagaki that no matter what the cost, he would take down the enemy tank. But now, the price is to pay enough, but not even the enemy tank touched, which makes him explain to the commander.

Ikeda Jun dragged his tired body to the temporary headquarters and reported the situation to Seishiro Sakagaki, who had not left his headquarters all along, just waiting for news, waiting for good news. Now, the news has arrived, but the content of the message is completely opposite to what he thought.

Holding the phone, Seishiro Sakagaki was speechless for a long time, and if what Ikeda said was true, he had no reason to punish him.

"Retreat." Seishiro Sakagaki gave an order with a cold face, in the current situation, there is no point in attacking again, and you can only think in the long run.

Receiving a personal order from Seishiro Sakagaki, Toshiki Ikeda dragged his tired body, threw his corpse on the ground, and ordered a retreat, and this originally confident attack ended in complete defeat.
