Fan Ming put down the binoculars in his hand in confusion, retracted into the armored car, looked at the simple map of the enemy's defensive positions spread out on the bench, frowned and sketched it with a pencil. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He wiped his nose with his fingers, then turned his head sideways to look at the alternate cadet officer who had been assigned to him by his superiors, and asked: "The enemy seems to be in disarray, they did not hold their defensive positions, and almost as soon as we attacked, they gave it to us. ”

"Could it be a trap for the enemy? At the beginning, their resistance was very orderly, after all, it was the 5th Division, the main force of the Japanese army. "The trainee officer over there doesn't actually have any decent ideas, he doesn't have the right to make suggestions now, he can only say what he thinks.

As an important military training initiative of the Ming Empire, all officers trained under the new army system must serve as trainee officers in the actual combat unit as alternate officers. They had to master the skills of actual combat here before they could be transferred to other newly formed units and serve as the commanders of that unit.

Of course, Fan Ming would not pay attention to the opinion of the alternate officer, he was just muttering his own thoughts, and came up with a set of ways to test whether the Japanese army was really messed up, or pretending to be a trick to lure the Ming army into a fool.

"Company Commander! Call a company commander! He grabbed his wireless phone, pressed the call button on it, and called into the phone.

Soon his call was answered, and the hoarse voice of the commander of the 1st Company, who was commanding his tank unit on the position, reached Fan Ming's ears through the radio earpiece: "I heard it!" I hear you! What are the commands? ”

"I want you to take your platoon to tentatively break through the deep positions of the Japanese army and try to break through the enemy's second line of defense." Fan Ming grabbed the microphone of the radio and ordered his subordinates: "When you encounter the stubborn resistance of the enemy, cancel the operation and retreat, understand?" This is just a temptation, not an offensive order! ”

"1 even understand! Tentatively attack the enemy's defensive positions in depth, and retreat immediately when encountering strong resistance. In the radio headset, the words of the commander of the 1st company followed, and the sound was transmitted very clearly except for the slight squeak of battlefield radio interference.

The radio equipment produced by Nanjing Electronic Instrument Factory is very reliable, so it uses a lot of advanced technology, but the equipment itself is very mature. After more than a year of large-scale testing and deployment, a complete set of equipment products of multiple echelons and models has been formed, which have been purchased and assigned to almost all combat units by the Ming Empire.

It is precisely because of such reliable radio communication equipment that the armored vehicles and aircraft of the Ming Empire can better cooperate with each other. The small size of radio equipment also made the espionage activities of the Ming Empire more convenient and concealed than other countries, and improved the war capability of the entire empire.

"Hello? 1 battalion commander? I was a regimental staff officer of the 3 regiment. Yes, my infantry reported that the Japanese frontal line was shrinking, and I would like to confirm the situation on the flank, did you find any problems on your side? "It was not only the attacking troops of the armored battalion under Fan Ming who discovered the abnormalities of the Japanese army, but other units also discovered the changes of the Japanese army in the process of attacking.

"I have asked the troops to attack in depth to confirm whether the Japanese army is wrong." Grabbing the radios of the other liaison regiment headquarters and the division headquarters, Fan Ming glanced at the mechanical and electrical officer who had just handed him the headset in time, and opened his mouth to answer the questions of the friendly troops.

The convenient radio contact network made the coordination and combat efficiency of the Ming army very high, and the commanders of the troops on the front line were all professional soldiers of quite high quality, so the Ming army's response with the changes in the battlefield was also quite fast. Not long after the chaos of the Japanese army took place, the difference was discovered by the sharp front-line combat units of the Ming army.

Soon, the second line of defense of the Japanese army was broken through by Fan Ming's tanks, and the Japanese army, which had lost its command, began to become confused, and many troops began to withdraw from the defense line and rushed to join the retreating army. The three different subordinate troops, which were originally stable under the coordination of Shigeru Nakamura, are now completely chaotic.

The Korean Cooperative Defense Army, which had the weakest combat effectiveness and weak will to fight, was already in chaos, and most of the auxiliary defense forces began to retreat backwards with the Japanese military police guarding them, and some of them had already retreated to the southern suburbs of Gucheng City, and even broke the defense line of some Japanese defenders.

The defenders of Japan's former Kamejo City, who were also unrestrained, also began to retreat voluntarily after discovering that something was wrong. They feared that the main force of the 5th Division would retreat ahead of schedule, and that they would be placed in the rear as substitutes for the dead - in fact, Shigeru Nakamura had planned it this way, so the Japanese defenders of Kamejo had guessed their own outcome.

As a result, the Japanese defenders of Kamejo, who were unwilling to serve as cannon fodder, also began to retreat, and the original city defense commander began to abandon his position and retreat under the pretext that he could not obtain the order of the division commander of the 5th Division. In this way, all positions were lost to the main forces of the 5th Division.

While the Japanese were shrinking their defensive lines and calculating with each other in the process, the Ming army's attack broke through the second line of defense, which was still strong. The tanks of the Ming Empire were close to the city of Guicheng, and more 150 mm howitzers and 100 mm howitzers joined the attack, and the Japanese troops in the city were even more confused because of the attack.

"Hey! This doesn't seem to be a disguise...... They seem to be really messing up. In the command tank of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company, which was facing the enemy's resistance, the commander of the 1st Company shouted with some excitement as he looked through the periscope of the tank and looked at the Japanese soldiers who had abandoned their positions and retreated.

His shouts made the tanks of the 1st Company attack faster. The 15 tanks were originally a powerful force when attacking, and at this time, the Japanese army had no intention of fighting, which made these tanks feel like no one. Soon the commander of the 1st Company found himself attacking the 3rd line of defense of the Japanese army, and to his surprise, the trenches here were empty.

"Battalion commander! Battalion commander! Japanese troops are collapsing! They had abandoned their defensive positions, and I was already on the outer streets of Turtle Castle, but I still did not meet the resolute resistance of the Japanese defenders. After about 20 minutes, the 1st Company of tanks that had frantically advanced stopped their attack on the side of the streets outside Turtle City, and it was not until this time that the red-eyed 1st Company Commander remembered to report his position to Fan Ming.

Fan Ming, who heard the news, was taken aback, because the 2nd Company in charge of covering was now on standby on the periphery of the Japanese defense line. (To be continued.) )
