Chapter 367: Battle Pingjin 5
"The Japanese tanks were also dispatched, but I didn't expect to catch a lone tank squadron. Looking at the physique, it is the Japanese army's Type 95 light tank. Gao Lingyun put down the binoculars in his hand, and a relatively relaxed smile appeared on his face, nine light tanks, although three tanks in the mechanized brigade at this time could not participate in the battle due to mechanical failure, but it was still easy to eat this tank squadron of the Japanese army.
"The fortifications in Langfang are not complete, and now it is a good thing for our attacking troops, but the reinforcements of the Japanese army can be reinforced here in less than half a day, and it may not be a good thing to throw the most capable troops into a war of attrition with the Japanese army at this time." Compared with Gao Lingyun, Tong Linge was a little worried at this time.
Like Qin Dechun, he is also the deputy commander of the 29th Army, but he joined the 29th Army halfway through the family and does not have any real power in his hands. It's just that he has climbed step by step from a big-headed soldier to his current position, and his understanding of technical weapons may not be as good as that of Sun Liren or even Gao Lingyun who was present, but his views on the battlefield and tactical cultivation may not be worse than those present. The handwriting of the Northwest Army was unexpectedly shocking, and the mechanized brigade was more elite than the average Japanese division, and dozens of artillery pieces were towed by vehicles. There are also several dozen tanks in the making. In Tong Linge's view, good steel should be used on the blade, and when the Japanese army showed flaws, the most elite forces should be put into it. Such an elite troop could not be taken out even in Nanjing at this time, and it was too wasteful to put it in Langfang to consume with the Japanese army. After all, the Japanese fighters can come here at any time, and it is completely worth the loss to fight hard.
"Now except for our department, which can rush to Langfang and enter the battle as quickly as possible, Commander Zhao has no other troops, but as long as it can be delayed until the main force of the group army arrives, it can successfully complete the evacuation of materials covering Pingjin. It is also worthwhile for the soldiers of the mechanized brigade to sacrifice their lives for the country in Langfang. Sun Liren's face sank like water, he was relatively lucky, when he joined the Northwest Army, he entered the core unit of the Northwest Army, and witnessed the Northwest Mechanized Army from weak to now beginning to take shape. The 2nd Mechanized Brigade can also be regarded as his hard work, and it was consumed in Langfang like this, so how can he not be heartbroken. But it is the duty of a soldier to defend his territory against invaders. sacrificed their lives for the country on the battlefield, and those soldiers who died in battle can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
Sun Liren had stayed in Nanjing, and if it was Nanjing, I am afraid that he would not choose to directly consume such troops in Langfang at this time. But the choice of the northwest is different, because in the eyes of the northwest, the machinery transferred from Pingjin to the rear, a large number of cultural relics are worth far more than a mechanized brigade, maybe even if the entire group army commanded by Zhao is buried here, those machinery transferred to the rear. The personnel are also fully capable of pulling up one or even more army groups. Although Nanjing has replaced the status of Beiping at this time, it is still inferior to Pingjin at this time in terms of heritage. However, even if the 2nd Mechanized Brigade is consumed in Langfang, it will be necessary to pull a considerable number of Japanese troops to accompany it to the funeral! Let's start with the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army in front of you!
In Tong Linge's still heartbroken mood, Sun Liren's troops had already attacked Langfang as originally planned.
Rumble! Another group of artillery shells covered the improvised fortifications that the Japanese had urgently laid out were shattered.
"Hurry up, anti-artillery, cover. Cover! "Sang Si, who originally came with the belief of victory, immediately panicked when he saw that the enemy army was almost four times his strength. Letting the driver continue to drive the tank, he himself opened the lid on the tank and shouted at the infantry company on the ground.
Damn, when did the enemy have a tank cluster of this size, comparable to half of their tank wing, and an artillery group of this size. At least the main force of the enemy army above the group army, damn it, no matter how arrogant the captain of the Guxiong wing is, he is not arrogant enough to resist the enemy army group with one wing.
Woo -
The roar of the tank rang out.
"Hey, kill these animals!" Feng Dachuan shouted excitedly as he looked at the almost one-sided situation in front of him.
Rumble! Rumble!
Due to the fact that the Tomahawk type in the Northwest is only beginning to be mass-produced now. Not yet in service with the troops, at this time the Avenger 2 remained the main battle tank of the mechanized brigades. THE AVENGER AND ITS IMPROVED AVENGER 2 TANK WEIGHED MORE THAN FIFTEEN TONS, ALTHOUGH THE MAIN 37MM GUN WAS ABOUT THE SAME AS THE JAPANESE ARMY'S TYPE 95 LIGHT TANK, BUT A HEAVIER PHYSIQUE ALSO MEANT A STRONGER DEFENSIVE ABILITY, WITH JIANG LI THIS TRAVERSER, THE NORTHWEST USED INCLINED ARMOR IN FRONT OF MOST POWERS, AT LEAST COMPARED TO THE VERTICAL ARMOR OF THE JAPANESE ARMY'S TYPE 95 LIGHT TANK, IT WAS MUCH THICKER.
Bang! Hit, I hit! Fujijiichiro saw the shells fired hitting the frontal armor of an enemy tank seven or eight hundred meters away on the opposite side, and immediately shouted excitedly, even at this distance, there are few tanks that can withstand the blow of 37MM guns, and it has to be said that it is a kind of luck to be able to hit the enemy tank with one shot at this distance. After all, at this time, Japan's own sighting system was not very good. It is even a little worse than the northwest optical industry supported by Germany.
"What, no, it can't be!" Just when Fujijiichiro was lucky, the shell that hit the opponent's tank bounced straight upwards at an incredible speed.
"Damn, it was hit, but luckily, it was a ricochet." Zuo Zhijiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if he hadn't bounced off, it was estimated that the person who had this tank would have been reimbursed directly, and he really had to thank the person who invented the bevel armor, it was really a great invention. Zuo Zhijiang was grateful to Dade in his heart, but he quickly cursed again, although the shell just now did not kill them, but the violent vibration damaged their power engine, and now his tank is lying on its stomach.
"Quick, turn the shells, one o'clock direction, the Japanese occupation artillery!" After Zuo Zhijiang scolded a few words, he soon found that the Japanese army's anti-aircraft artillery had been pushed to the front line, ready to support this tank battle with a huge disparity in strength. In the end, the reaction speed of the Japanese army was not ordinarily fast, but the relationship between the prey and the hunter of the battle defense artillery and the tank was constantly changing, and the several anti-defense guns of the 77th Wing were destined to play little role in this kind of tank battle with great contrast. Rumble! Zuo Zhijiang knocked the first Japanese defense gun into a part state with one shot.
The sound of sizzling and sizzling became one after another, and dozens of tanks divided into two groups, one left and one right, swooped down on the Japanese position. Like two huge fists with bows left and right, they swung towards the Japanese tank squadron. (To be continued.) )
