(I saw some book friends questioning the update, saying that there were two changes in the past, and now there is one change.) The update has not gone up, the price has risen. Khan, in the past, there were two changes, each change was 2,000 words, and now there is a change, and the number of words is 4,000 words. There is no difference. As for the update, as an office worker, I really can't afford to update more for the time being, after all, it's not full-time, please forgive me. ）

"Hurry up, speed up, the wing commander has an order, we must arrive in Yangcun to block the reinforced Zhina army before 13 o'clock today!" The Japanese troops who came out of the small town of Anfeng touched the strength of a large group, and at this time they were marching in the snow at a speed that was not too fast.

From time to time, the cars crawling in the snow slid and staggered forward. The north wind howled.

From time to time, Japanese soldiers stepped on the cold and slippery ground and sat on their buttocks, but the clothes on their bodies were quite thick, and this level of fall did not affect anything, at most it only dragged a little speed. In the marching array, the Japanese soldiers rarely spoke, and in this kind of weather, every bit of physical strength saved may become the difference between life and death on the battlefield, and the Japanese soldiers who have been in battle for a long time know this truth.

The further forward he went, the more obvious the sound of gunfire became, and before the arrival of the Nobatazawa brigade, the village was already in a state of uproar. In the distance, several civilian houses collapsed in the explosion, and it was only seven and a half years of artillery that could cause such a movement, and it seemed that they should have encountered the main force of the enemy. All the reinforced Japanese soldiers, including Nobuya Zeichi, had a solemn face at this time, they had been fighting with the Northwest Army for so long, but whenever they encountered the main force of the other side, even if they could win in the end, it would only be a miserable victory. Wars like the Japanese army in the early years of the capture of Shihe and Suiyuan are gone forever, at least in the Hebei and Henan battlefields, the Japanese army has never been able to play its own fast pace, but the southern entry is much faster

Whoa

"Damn, it's the tanks of the Northwest Army of China!" Closer to the village, the soldiers of the Nobuya Brigade trotted all the way. But I heard the familiar roar of the engine. On the side of the ruined earthen wall, the wreckage of several tanks can be faintly seen. Before the Nobuya Brigade had time to react, it saw a Type 89 medium tank and two Type 95 light tanks, which were retreating in the direction of the Nobuya Da Bo in embarrassment. On the opposite side, only two enemy tanks were in pursuit. It's just that it's a full circle larger than the Japanese tanks. Among those who have superior forces, but do not dare to fight the enemy head-on, probably only the armored units that have always been regarded as elite by the Japanese army.

The most elite troops are the most afraid to fight, which is really a great irony to say. However, as a high-ranking military officer, Noboru Sawa, who is quite familiar with several successive failures, does not feel any surprises. After all, the losses of the armored forces of the entire North China Front reached an astonishing two-thirds, and when they were hit by the enemy, they were either killed or maimed.

In a moment's hesitation, two more enemy tanks drove out from between the ruins, and it turned out that the enemy army also had a numerical advantage, no wonder. It's just that in this battlefield, there are not only seven and a half artillery pieces, but also such a number of tanks, it seems that in this battle, the brigade under him does not know how many people will survive.

"Quick, push the artillery up and meet our troops!" Captain Nobuya didn't give orders for long, and the Japanese soldiers of the brigade accelerated all the way from their original trot, and at this time the small ditch on the side of the ridge was already frozen. A large number of Japanese soldiers slipped into the ditch with their butts, half-squatting, and used the cold field as a natural cover.

Herod's Japanese soldiers wave their whips. The horses strained their necks, and with the help of other Japanese soldiers, they struggled to pull the artillery sunken in the ice slag.

The Japanese army was nervously busy.

A scream rang out, and the enemy tanks on the opposite side hit a Japanese troop truck with a crooked shot. The Japanese soldiers who didn't have time to jump out of the car were suddenly unlucky.

"Hold steady, the army that responds to us is coming, and those who retreat without permission will die!" The Japanese officer, who had been beaten out of the village, drew his pistol and killed two soldiers who had disrupted the formation one after another.

Rumble!

After fighting with the Northwest Army for so long, the Japanese army at this time generally figured out the strength of the tanks of the Northwest Army, in short, the larger the size, the more difficult it is to deal with, relatively speaking, the Avengers of the Northwest Army, which are relatively smaller, are still not so troublesome.

A battle defense gun also weighed hundreds of pounds, trapped in a low depression, the wheels were stuck in the ice, and could not move for a while, the well-trained Japanese soldiers directly adjusted the muzzle of the gun in this state, and even hit an Avenger with one shot. One minute on the stage, ten years of work off the stage, this sentence is also very suitable for use on the battlefield.

After the Avenger, who was originally moving quickly, ate this shot, the body of the car burst forward under the huge inertia, and the driver inside suddenly bumped into the thing next to him, and suddenly his nose and face were swollen.

"Oh no, we got hit, damn little devil."

"Don't worry so much, we rushed too fast, the soldiers behind are a little disjointed, and it's a dead word to go out now, gamble, if the tank doesn't explode, we may still have a way to live." The commander shouted painfully at this time, "Adjust the muzzle of the gun, kill the Japanese army's battle defense artillery just now, quickly!" ”

The tanks of the mechanized brigade of the Northwest Army have always been used intensively in the past, and some people in later generations are also a little ashamed of the backwardness of the Japanese army in tank tactics. In fact, the Japanese army's use of tanks was also determined by the specific combat environment of the Republic of China and Japan's own national strength. Who doesn't want to crush all the way with a torrent of steel that is hard to see at a glance, and completely crush all enemy resistance with overwhelming superiority.

But the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Even if the Japanese army was given a few thousand Tiger types, with the fragile road and bridge foundations of the Republic of China at this time, just transporting these tanks to the target battlefield was enough to break the brains of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army's scattered use of tanks was also regarded by some as a lower policy, and only when the forces were concentrated could they be effective. In fact, the actual environment of the battlefield of the Republic of China is not the same. The Japanese planes and artillery already had an overwhelming advantage over the national * army. There is no longer a need to charge with a large number of tanks, relying on the superiority of aircraft and artillery alone, the Japanese army is enough to easily tear apart the defense line of the national * army. As for the tank, it is enough to rush to the front, block the machine rifle bullets of the national * army for the Japanese soldiers behind, cover the Japanese soldiers to rush into the broken positions of the national * army, and at the same time give a certain number of kills to the enemy soldiers. Pooling tanks together was also a waste of resources for the Japanese army.

The same principle applies to the mechanized brigade of the Northwest Army at this time. After breaking through the main force of the armored forces of the North China Front, it is impossible to seek the same tank duel as before. At the same time, after several battles, the casualties of the ground forces also made the burden on the northwest extremely heavy. After several battles, hundreds of thousands of casualties were also lost. While the Japanese armored forces tried their best to avoid a hard confrontation between the two sides, it would be a waste of resources to concentrate the mechanized brigades together. Therefore, in this battle of northern Henan, the tanks and armored vehicles of the mechanized brigade were also divided into several parts as in history, relieving the pressure brought by the Japanese army and minimizing the losses of the Northwest Army.

This move quickly showed its effect in the battle between the two sides. It's just that everything has advantages and disadvantages, and as a result, the battle loss rate of tanks and armored vehicles has also increased significantly. However, fortunately, nearly a year and a half after the start of the war, the output of tanks and armored vehicles of the Northwest Army has been greatly developed, which is enough to supplement the war consumption at this time, and there is still room to expand the armored forces. Therefore, for the increase in the battle loss rate of tanks and the decrease in the death rate of soldiers, Jiang Li relatively recognized this change. The lives of soldiers are higher than these lumps of steel.

rumble

The rumbling sound of the Japanese artillery was louder and louder, and a large number of shells hit the positions of the Northwest Army, setting off a storm of death. The artillery of the Northwest Army was very difficult in the artillery battle between the two sides, so that the Japanese artillery could calmly suppress the artillery of the Northwest Army and at the same time, there was still room to fight the infantry of the Northwest Army.

The raging shrapnel has dramatically deteriorated the living conditions on the battlefield. However, at this time, there was a very strange scene on the battlefield, under the bombardment of Japanese artillery, the casualties of the Northwest Army rose sharply. The Japanese had a significant advantage in long-range firepower.

In terms of medium-range and close-range firepower, the Japanese army suffered a lot under the combination of the Fire Snake general-purpose machine gun and mortar, which the Northwest Army had already partially equipped. And under the counterattack of the tank units of the Northwest Army, there was even a feeling that they could not stand.

The tank's tracks creaked all the way forward, knocking the ice-edged tree straight to the ground. A Tomahawk quickly passed over the Avenger who had been hit earlier, drawing Japanese fire to itself.

Syllable! The shell hit the front armor of the Tomahawk, and the huge kinetic energy was converted into an impact on the hull. However, the penetration of the shell was not enough, and it quickly bounced into the air in front of this inclined triangular armor, which was not very noticeable.

Boom

Japanese shells fell in the ranks of the Northwest Army, setting off waves of death.

The bullets of the Fire Snake general-purpose machine gun swept out in pieces, and wherever they hit, the Japanese soldiers could only hide behind improvised bunkers to avoid the terrible rain of bullets.

Bang, the turret of the Japanese tank jumped several feet high in the violent explosion, and the wreckage of the tank all the way down made the Japanese armored soldiers unable to raise the slightest fighting spirit in this situation.

"Yaga, fight back, fight back!" Captain Nobuya kept an eye on the battlefield with a telescope at all times. The increasingly severe situation, as well as the Northwest Army that spread over, made Captain Dengtian have to send out the spare forces in his hands again and again.

In the telescope of Nominea, I saw an extremely tragic scene, on a Type 92 machine gun position, the corpses of six or seven Japanese soldiers had fallen next to it. In the fierce battle, the Japanese soldiers who often pounced on them were either shot by the snipers of the Northwest Army, or directly beaten into a sieve by the terrifying machine guns of the opponent before they could shoot a long chain of bullets. Either they were killed by a string of machine gun bullets from the tank, but the machine gun was also an important firepower output for the Japanese army. Especially after the Japanese army was driven out of the village by the Northwest Army, in such a place of almost wilderness, the output of firepower was directly related to the success or failure of the whole battle.

Da-da-da

The Japanese non-commissioned officer who shook the handle of the machine gun and fired frantically at the Northwest Army fell weakly on the machine gun, at this time the machine gun was still uncontrollable and spat out of flames, and the Japanese soldier next to him stepped forward with an expressionless face and pushed away the corpse of his comrade. Continue the unfinished task of your comrades. Moments after the bullet fired, the substitute machine gunner was also killed, and the Japanese soldiers behind seemed to be prepared for the scene in front of them, and stepped forward one after another. One by one, they died.

When the Tomahawk tank in the distance gradually approached, the Type 92 heavy machine gun actually ran out of bullets at this time. In this case, the opportunity to replace the chain has been lost.

"Long live the Emperor!" At this time, the Japanese infantry actually held the rifles in their hands, ignored the huge pressure brought by this tank, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Northwest Army near the tank.

Boom - the shell dragged a long screech, boom, and the shell landed near the track of the Tomahawk tank. The range of the Type 92 infantry gun is not the traditional seven-and-a-half guns, but it is almost the same in terms of explosion power, and the death storm set off by a high-explosive bomb weighing 3.8 kilograms instantly baptized the soldiers on both sides of the tank, with stumps and broken arms, mixed with a large amount of blood sprinkled on the tank at the same time. The huge shock wave formed by the explosion even shook the Tomahawk tank not far away, and the scorching shrapnel **** on the tank made a sharp sound.

After a period of fear, no matter how the tank engine roared, the tank could not be used. The previous Avengers had been destroyed by the Japanese army, and now there was another Tomahawk for the Japanese army to lie on the spot.

The Japanese army, whose formation was almost scattered, took advantage of the counteroffensive momentum of the Northwest Army to contain it, and tried to re-stabilize the front, but in another place, a battle defense gun was scattered in the explosion, and an Avenger tank quickly rushed out, and the tracks ran over the Japanese Taisho ten-year heavy machine gun, and the expensive machine gun turned into a pile of broken copper and iron. The Japanese soldiers, who had no time to escape, fell to the ground one after another in the sound of dada. At the cost of three tanks, the Northwest Army finally destroyed the Japanese tanks and destroyed the Japanese ground anti-tank fire. The two tanks, accompanied by hundreds of fighters, rushed all the way to the artillery positions of the Japanese army. 4 38 Type 7 and a half guns, and some traces of the enemy's artillery transfer, which have been transferred and cannot catch up for the time being, but there are four in front of them, and this effort is not in vain.

Although the Nobuya Brigade made every effort to rescue, but after all, it still did not arrive in time, our army concentrated the strength of a regiment, broke through the Japanese army in the village, and successfully defeated the main force of the Japanese Nobuya Brigade, this battle killed more than 1,000 enemies, destroyed 5 Japanese tanks, 6 artillery, captured 1 Japanese tank, 7 artillery pieces of various types, 3 cars, 11 three-wheeled friction vehicles, dozens of light and heavy machine guns. And our army also paid the loss of 4 tanks, but in comparison, more than 900 infantry were killed, in comparison, the loss was not big, but this time the tiger mouth was successful, but it alleviated the situation in the northwest of Anyang. The adjutant reported to Qiu Dezhi.

"Defeated more than one brigade of the Japanese army, their own casualties were similar to those of the other party, they didn't suffer losses, and they didn't get a bargain, the 375th Regiment is still being carried by the Japanese army in Yehuling, if our pace is slow, the 375th Regiment will really be over." Qiu Dezhi shook his head, for such a record, it is not very satisfying, after all, the weather has not been good recently, and the relatively superior aviation of the Japanese army has not been dispatched, but the Japanese army's counterattack is strong, and it does often make the generals of the Northwest Army have a feeling that they will collapse their teeth if they bite down a little.
