Chapter 452: 120mm Heavy Bazooka
As soon as the fighters' tanks, armored vehicles or off-road vehicles crossed these trenches, they were only 200 meters away from the positions of the little devils, and the fighters who followed the tanks immediately fired fiercely at the little devils.
The AK-47 firepower of the fighters was fierce, and the mud on the forward positions of the little devils flew everywhere, and many of the little devils couldn't raise their heads at all.
The little devils can basically fight back with some bunkers or pillboxes, these fortifications provide fire support for the little devils, otherwise, the soldiers would have rushed up long ago.
The bullets of the little devils made the soldiers' chariots clange and sparks splashed everywhere, but the soldiers' chariots still slowly approached the little devils' position.
In the depths of the little devil's defensive position, the only remaining mortars and grenadiers began to fire grenades at the fighters, and the explosions of "boom, boom, boom" rang out from time to time.
"Mortar, suppress quickly."
A colonel, seeing that many of his fighters who were traveling with the mechanized infantry regiment were sacrificed under the mortars and grenadiers of the little devils, immediately shouted loudly.
Soon, at least a dozen 60-mm mortars began to be erected, and began to fire shells into the depths of the little devils' positions, and the salvo of more than a dozen mortars soon killed a lot of the little devils.
The only grenadiers and mortars that the little devils had were quickly knocked out, and the little devils lost these things, relying only on machine guns and rifles, "hard" resisting the advance of the fighters.
In the remaining directions, the 36th Army is responsible for the direction of the offensive, and the battle situation has been going smoothly, and according to this situation, today everyone can break through the outer defense line of the little devils.
Although the 36th Group was responsible for attacking in all three directions, the Eighth Route Army, which was responsible for attacking the eastern defensive line, encountered a little trouble.
The troops of the Eighth Route Army are mainly light weapons, each squad has a Czech-style light machine gun, and the ammunition is still relatively sufficient; with the commissioning of the Huangyadong Arsenal, the weapons situation of the Eighth Route Army has been greatly improved, and Zhang Yunfei has made great contributions to this.
Although the level of light weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army is basically on par with that of the little devils, the heavy weapons of the Eighth Route Army are very few, and each infantry battalion has only a few mortars, and the infantry regiment has a Type 92 infantry artillery company, equipped with several Type 92 infantry guns.
But these mortars and Type 92 infantry guns, in front of the little devil's defense line, are a little less powerful, the little devil has also built a lot of bunkers and bunkers on the outer defense line, and many of the bunkers are still cement structure of permanent fortifications.
At present, the attacking Eighth Route Army has the advantage in numbers, but the offensive is obviously blocked, and the little devils use trenches and pillboxes to firmly resist the attacking Eighth Route Army outside the defense line.
The Eighth Route Army has launched several regiment-scale charges, but they have all been beaten back by the little devils, and the cement bunkers of the little devils are too powerful, and the Eighth Route Army is basically helpless against them.
There were a lot of pillboxes of the little devils, forming crossfire, and with the continuous shooting of the little devils in the trenches, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army couldn't rush up for a while.
A commander of the Eighth Route Army, just now, personally led nearly 2,000 people from his regiment to charge at a position of the little devils in front, but he was still beaten back by the little devils, and he also killed and wounded three or four hundred soldiers.
The regiment commander was lying on the ground, looking at the dozen or so little devil bunkers in front of him with burning eyes, and seeing that these bunkers were firmly blocking his way, the regiment commander grabbed the hat on his head in pain and slammed it to the ground.
"What about infantry artillery? Aim at those little devil bunkers and give me a hard beating. ”
The Eighth Route Legion Commander had a fierce face and said fiercely.
Immediately, several 92 infantry guns aimed at these little devil pillboxes and opened fire.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
More than a dozen artillery shots rang out in a row, and the shells fired by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army basically hit the target, but when the smoke cleared, the little devil's bunker was still intact.
"Regiment commander, the little devil's bunker is too strong, and our infantry artillery can't open it at all."
A soldier of the Eighth Route Army, with an anxious face, said loudly.
"Hey! It's infuriating. ”
The commander of the Eighth Route Army had no choice but to look helpless and stare fiercely at the little devil bunkers in the distance.
"Captain! You see, there are a lot of little devils Iron King Ba. ”
A soldier of the Eighth Route Army pointed to the distance, and saw the shadows of at least a dozen tanks and armored vehicles on the position of the little devils, and the chariots of these little devils seemed to be preparing to attack the Eighth Route Army.
The tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils did not dare to be frightened in front of the 36th Group Army, but the Eighth Route Army lacked heavy weapons and was basically helpless against the tanks of the little devils.
The little devils also knew that persimmons had to be pinched softly, and the little devils sent most of the chariots to the eastern battlefield, mainly to deal with the attack of the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing that there were pillboxes and tanks on the little devil's position, the Eighth Route Army commander was full of helplessness, thought about it, gritted his teeth, and seemed to be preparing to launch another attack.
"Commander, let's set up a death squad, let's carry explosives and pack them."
A battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army suggested.
At this time, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army came over with at least a dozen soldiers of the 36th Group Army, and the camouflage uniforms of the 36th Group Army were particularly conspicuous in a group of people of the Eighth Route Army in gray uniforms.
"Captain! It seems that the comrades of the 36th Army have come. ”
The commander of the Eighth Route Army also looked at these soldiers of the 36th Group Army, and saw that several of these soldiers were still holding strange weapons, one by one, thick and long army-green cylinders.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who led the team brought these soldiers of the 36th Group Army to their regiment commander, and immediately said happily: "Regiment commander, these comrades of the 36th Group Army have come to help me deal with the bunkers and tanks of the little devils. ”
Against the bunkers? Against tanks?
The commander of the Eighth Route Army glanced at these soldiers of the 36th Group Army suspiciously, and thought in his heart, could it be that they were only a dozen people.
You must know that the little devil's bunker is unusually strong, and just now his whole regiment of nearly 2,000 people charged together, but he did not break through the little devil's defense line, but was beaten back by the little devils, and he sacrificed hundreds of soldiers.
The little devils are so powerful that these bunkers are very powerful, and the commander of the Eighth Route Army knows it very well.
Seeing the confusion in the eyes of the Eighth Route Regiment Commander, the second lieutenant platoon commander who led the team grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, "Hello chief, you are Regiment Commander Xiao!" ”
The commander of the Eighth Route Army nodded lightly, but did not speak, his eyes were still full of questions, and he really couldn't understand how these dozen comrades of the 36th Group Army dealt with the bunkers and tanks of the little devils.
The second lieutenant platoon commander smiled slightly and said: "Commander Xiao, we have brought several 120mm heavy rocket launchers this time, wait a minute, and see how these little devil bunkers and tanks are destroyed by us."
120mm heavy bazooka? What kind of weapon is that, is it these long, thick tubes?
Because he knew that the Eighth Route Army did not have heavy weapons to attack fortifications, in order to help the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Yunfei specially gave the 1st Column 100 120mm heavy rocket launchers and a lot of rockets.
These heavy rocket launchers, newly developed and produced by the Datong base area, are much more powerful than the previous 40-millimeter rocket launchers, and have a much longer firing range, with an effective range of 600 meters, and are equipped with optical sights.
At present, the 36th Army has two kinds of bazookas, both short and lightweight 40-mm individual rocket launchers, and 120-mm heavy rocket launchers, which can be combined with light and heavy.
Don't look at these bazookas, the caliber is relatively large, but the weight is not heavy at all, if you don't have rockets, they weigh only a dozen kilograms, and a soldier can carry them around.
Wang Haiyang, the commander of the 1st Column, was also very happy to get so many large-caliber bazookas, and immediately selected a group of experienced soldiers to make these bazookas.
In order to support the Eighth Route Army, Wang Haiyang set up a number of combat squads, each of which consisted of four fighters, one of whom was a 120-mm rocket launcher as an archer, one as an observer, and the other two as both ammunition and fire cover to protect the safety of the shooter and observer.
This time, the commander of the regiment supported Xiao with 16 soldiers and a second lieutenant platoon commander who led the team, a total of 4 combat groups, a total of 4 120 mm heavy rocket launchers.
This second lieutenant platoon commander saw that not only Regiment Commander Xiao looked at him with a puzzled expression, but also many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army around him did not understand.
The second lieutenant platoon commander couldn't help grinning again, and said loudly: "Comrades, prepare to fight, give the little devils a little taste." ”
Immediately, the four battle groups separated, and everyone found their positions and prepared to open fire on the little devil bunkers and tanks four or five hundred meters away.
The fighters of the 36th Army were just getting ready, when a dozen tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils also came up.
"Captain! The Iron King Eight of the little devils is here. ”
Many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, with anxious faces, watched the little devil's tanks and armored vehicles emitting green smoke, slowly rushing towards them, and behind the little devil's chariot, there were many little devils.
Many little devils, following behind their chariots, screaming, closely following these tanks and armored vehicles, it seems that the little devils rely on their own chariot cover, basically do not take the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side in their eyes.
Now, seeing that the Eighth Route Army lacked heavy weapons, the little devil actually used these tanks and armored vehicles to start a counter-charge.
