Chapter 189: The result of the first round of confrontation!
In the eyes of many people, most of the tanks mounted by the little devils belong to the kind of thin-skinned tanks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But it must be admitted that this tank may not have many advantages in the face of Soviet armored tanks.
When it can be used to fight against the Chinese troops, if there is not enough artillery fire to suppress, these thin-skinned tanks can exert great lethality. In many cases, the anti-war forces had to rely on human lives to stop the advance of these tanks.
Earlier, although the Kwantung Army sent an armored wing to cooperate with their divisions into the Xilin Gol League, intending to destroy the Eighth Route Army that had recovered there. As a result, the division lost news overnight.
At that time, the weapon used to stifle the armored tanks of the Kwantung Army was a bazooka that was secretive in the Northeast Field Army. The birth of this weapon also gave the Eighth Route Army a certain advantage in dealing with the little devil tank.
As long as you get rid of the infantry next to the little devil tank, you can basically hit one by one within 100 meters. And for the 2nd Division, which launched a general offensive tonight, their confidence also came from the armored fighting vehicles of the division.
In the eyes of the Kwantung Army, even the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side had a certain artillery force. However, as long as the Eighth Route Army dares to use artillery, their artillery units in the rear are also not vegetarians, and they will inevitably carry out countermeasures in a very short time.
In this way, the infantry on the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army alone was simply unable to block the advance of armored tanks. Once the armored wing made a breakthrough, the main force of their infantry would continue to pour into the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army.
As a result, the reality told them very cruelly that the Eighth Route Army had a sharp weapon against tanks. Looking at the tanks and armored vehicles lying on their stomachs and even exploding, many of the Japanese infantry who cooperated with the attack were a little dumbfounded.
'Yaga! How is this possible? How is this possible! ’
It seemed that it was difficult to accept this cruel reality of the little devil infantryman, and his steps seemed to be a little hesitant. And at this moment, seeing that the little devil infantry had already entered the firing range, the Eighth Route Army on the position was also full of firepower.
What was difficult for many little devil infantry to accept was that on the position of the Eighth Route Army, they actually found a powerful machine gun. Even the artillery units that cooperated with the attack could not destroy these lethal firepower points.
Look at the attacking infantry that is constantly falling under the muzzle of guns, and the machine-gun positions that are constantly spewing deadly flames. Many of the attacking infantry couldn't help but wail: "How can this be? And what about our artillery? Why don't you blow up that fire point? ”
For an ordinary machine gun, it is very good to be able to shoot three or four hundred meters at a range. On the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army, there were several machine gun bunkers at commanding heights, and the bullets fired from them even had huge lethality a kilometer away.
In this case, as long as the Japanese infantry came into the range of machine gun strikes, they were dealt a fatal blow. It wasn't until half a sound had passed that the experienced military cao cursed: "Yaga, that's an anti-aircraft machine gun!" They were used to fight the infantry! ”
In the eyes of many Japanese soldiers, anti-aircraft machine guns were used exclusively for air defense. But now, the Eighth Route Army has built a machine gun bunker on their defensive position that is convenient for anti-aircraft machine guns to fire horizontally.
What a defense!
'Reload!' Load! Ready, fire! ’
When the entire defensive position was in a state of firefight, the anti-tank detachment responsible for dealing with the Japanese armored wing sounded from time to time. One by one, the launch positions are also shifted from time to time.
The Japanese tanks that rushed to the front were all lying down, and the Japanese armored soldiers who followed behind naturally knew that they were ambushed. It's a pity that at this moment, if they want to withdraw from the mountain, how can it be an easy thing?
Not to mention the large number of troops following them, simply turning around in place would put them in a fatal situation. And this time is the best time for the anti-tank detachment to counterattack, shooting the tanks that have been on the ground one by one.
A regiment of guards that cooperated with the anti-tank detachment in the fight also did not show any politeness to the little devils. Use the new rifles and machine guns in your hands to shoot the little devil infantry who want to cover the safety of the tank.
The captain of the Japanese wing, who was staying in the rear to command and watch the battle, looked at the armored wing that was in a dilemma, and said in disbelief: "Yaga! What kind of weapon is that? It's not a battle defense gun at all! ”
Through the binoculars, the wing commander could also see that the weapons used to destroy the tanks on the positions of the Eighth Route Army were very sharp. But they are all weapons that can be operated by a single soldier, and they are not at all anti-aircraft guns specially designed to defend against tanks.
The other infantry wings that cooperated with the attack of the armored wing could not raise their heads at all in the face of the powerful firepower that appeared for the first time in the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army. The most lethal thing is that the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was involved again at this time.
There are many people there, and there are shells there. In this case, the casualties of the little devil's attacking infantry are also increasing. The commanders who stayed in the rear were well aware that they would simply not be able to take the opposing side's defensive positions tonight.
On the other hand, the head of the regiment who was staying in the underground command room at the moment said with a smile: "Okay! Played beautifully! Fortunately, the commander sent the anti-tank detachment over, otherwise we would have been really dangerous at night. This time, I finally got rid of one of the little devil's fangs! ”
In the eyes of the commander of the first regiment, compared to the artillery and infantry of the little devil, he was actually not very worried. What is really worried is undoubtedly the armored wing that I learned about earlier. After all, the topography of their positions was conducive to armored assaults.
And now looking at the bombed tanks, he is naturally full of joy. As long as the tank armor of these little devils is solved, the remaining infantry wants to break through their defensive positions, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream!
In the face of the armored wing with high hopes, the scene of being annihilated by the Eighth Route Army was also suppressed. Even the commander of the Japanese wing, who was very unwilling to admit defeat, finally gave the order to retreat.
It's just that compared to the infantry, which can turn around and run, these bulky armored tanks are not so easy to retreat. Even when they heard the retreat signal from the rear, they still sadly found that the tanks could only be beaten.
Even, seeing that the Japanese army began to retreat, the Eighth Route Army on the position launched a counter-charge. Seeing this scene, the Japanese wing commander naturally gritted his teeth and said: "Order the artillery unit to carry out a saturated artillery bombardment of the position of the Eighth Road!" ”
Fortunately, the commander of the regiment who saw this scene also knew that the little devil's artillery was powerful, and immediately said: "Chief of staff, blow the trumpet and order the troops to withdraw to their positions." Let them quickly retreat, the little devils will definitely shell! ”
As both sides sounded the signal to retreat, even if some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were a little unwilling, they could only return to their positions. As soon as they entered the position, and before they had time to rejoice, the retaliatory shelling of the Japanese army returned again.
'Damn, again! Withdraw, lower your waist, and quickly withdraw to the tunnel! ’
Many grassroots commanders naturally know that they can't bear this kind of retaliatory shelling by little devils. While urging the soldiers to quickly avoid artillery fire, the commander of the first regiment was also considering whether to let the rear artillery regiment support.
Regarding this situation, the chief of staff thought for a while and said: "Regiment commander, I think it's better to forget it!" Now the armored troops of the little devils have been completely wiped out by us at the front of the position, and the little devils have also lost their offensive weapons.
Coupled with the little devil infantry who were killed by us before, I believe that this loss should make the little devil feel distressed for a while. Next, we don't know what kind of conspiracy the little devil will play, so we naturally have to keep a hand! ”
'Okay, then listen to you, and for the time being, I won't use the artillery regiment of the division headquarters to participate in the battle! ’
Looking at the position once again shrouded in the sound of explosions, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who retreated into the anti-artillery tunnel naturally looked very excited. It's just that when they saw some of their comrades who had died in the earlier battle, they felt a little sad.
Fortunately, the soldiers who are qualified to join the regiment are all veterans who have experienced many actual battles. Such casualties in battle, they all know that they are inevitable. Regardless, tonight's match ended with them winning.
Compared to the defensive positions of a regiment, it once again fell into a new round of rest. The Japanese troops who withdrew to the rear positions, everyone was a little unhappy. The reason for this was that the entire armored wing was almost completely wiped out.
The only two armored vehicles that survived, also because something went wrong before the war, were kept behind the offensive positions. Except for these two armored vehicles, the rest of the armored wing's combat vehicles were all scrap metal lying on the positions of the Eighth Road.
Looking at the chariots that were still burning, many of the little devil officers were dripping blood in their hearts. After all, it was the vehicle that their infantry division was most proud of, and now it looked so fragile.
When the fourth division and one regiment ended the battle, the defensive position of the fifth division was still in a stalemate. The artillery of both sides even fought to the death, and the artillery of the second division also did not bargain too much.
Under these circumstances, the attacking Japanese army, which lacked strong artillery support, finally had to announce a retreat after paying a heavy price. And the defenders on the position, seeing these crazy little devils withdraw, also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
The main commander of the main regiment guarding the position couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Happy! Fortunately, we replenished a main battalion during the day, otherwise we really couldn't suppress these crazy little devils! ”
'Yes! However, after tonight's attack, I'm afraid it's enough for the little devil to feel distressed for a few days. Only this time, the casualties of our regiment are not small! It seems that the division commander will definitely let us withdraw tomorrow to rest! ’
Hearing what the chief of staff said, the commander of the main force in charge of the position of the Fifth Division could only say, "Forget it!" Our regiment has completed its mission, and by tomorrow we will hold our positions for three days.
Next, I don't know how the little devils will attack, so let's keep some seeds for each battalion! Otherwise, if the troops are wiped out in the first battle, then our regiment really doesn't want to participate in the later counteroffensive in the future! ”
The main forces of the two defensive positions have won victories one after another, and Xu Mingyuan, as the commander of the third column, also seems to be relieved. In any case, in this confrontation with the Second Division, they were the ones who won in the end!
