Chapter 105: It's a matter of principle

After receiving Liu Sancang's order to stop the shelling, the artillery brigade immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and directly changed the bombing target to Area No. 1. Before the war, the entire area of activity of the Japanese army was divided into five areas, of which the center was the No. 1 area, and the surrounding area was No. 2345 according to the east, west, south and north respectively.

Since the artillery regiment carried out concentrated bombardment, the number of artillery guns in charge of all mission areas and the size of the caliber were basically the same.

At present, most of the Japanese army is still trapped in Area No. 1, and only a small part has escaped, so one can imagine what kind of consequences will be caused by hundreds of heavy artillery pieces bombarding one place in the next period of time. The only chance for the army was to take advantage of the short time when the artillery brigade adjusted its guns and escape from Area 1.

Although the time is very short, but the 14th Division of the Army is worthy of being one of the first few elite divisions, although they lost the command of the division commander, but the officers at all levels below are still able to command the troops to fight well, of course, they were stunned at the beginning, and the jade crushing of Kenji Dohihara also brought them a big blow, so this made these soldiers panic for a while.

After calming down, the army is definitely a terrifying existence, and the soldiers who advocate the spirit of bushido make them dare to fight their opponents, even if they give up their lives. This spirit is simply incomparable to the 99th Army, which, under Su Dao's deliberate words, has always pursued the practice of boldness rather than recklessness, preferring to use a single shell to solve a bunker that looks like a threat to the soldiers, even if there is no enemy there.

One can use his life to smooth everything out, and the other wants to use powerful firepower to save his own life, and both naturally have their own benefits. Although the 99th Army's approach can protect the lives of soldiers well and cause maximum damage to the enemy, once its own powerful firepower is hit, the combat effectiveness of infantry units is very likely to be affected.

Especially when the soldiers are accustomed to having strong fire cover, and suddenly lose it, maybe they will forget how to fight. It's not that Su Dao hasn't thought about this problem, it's just that he hasn't come up with a good response yet. This is also why Su Dao currently adopts the combat method of artillery to bombard the tank and the tank to charge the infantry.

In the short term, he can only rely on this method to inspire the courage of the fighters, so that the fighters can definitely defeat their opponents without underestimating the enemy. As for those so-called beliefs, Su Dao also wants to establish his own beliefs, when these beliefs accompany the soldiers, but the question is, can establishing a new concept be done in a while? It will take a lot of time and the fire of war.

Xu Sansi gently wiped his bayonet, it had been with him for almost a year, it had been fighting side by side with him for a year, and he had taken the lives of dozens of enemies with it. Over time, Xu Sansi also developed feelings for his bayonet, according to the system of the 99th Army, officers above the company level can be equipped with pistols, and it is also the standard equipment of the German army, Luger pistol.

But like Xu Sansi, there are many officers who did not lose the M1 Garand and the bayonet that did not look long when they were equipped with Luger pistols, and they all developed feelings for their weapons. They don't deny that Luger's pistols have an excellent surname, but that doesn't prevent them from coexisting.

'Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! ’

The tankman was pressing on the accelerator, as if signaling to the people that he could rush up and fight the enemy at any time if he wanted to. The members of the tank crew on the T-34 have long been a little impatient, they really like this tank too much, they can beat the little bean Ding of the little day, and at the same time can abuse a little devil's infantry, the only thing that makes them a little regrettable is that it can't fight with the fighters of the army.

Of course, this was just a thought in the minds of the tank crew, and they were already satisfied with the result.

"Brothers, we will do our best to cover for you, and we will also wish you good luck." A tank commander pulled half of his body out of the turret and shouted at the infantry behind him, and anyone who was interested could notice that the commander's eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, and even the tone of his voice was almost fanatical.

Although everyone couldn't understand where his fanaticism came from, they still nodded heavily, their task in this battle can be regarded as not light, since the Battle of Xuzhou, the troops they encountered were all devils' horse pulling divisions, that is, divisions with more than 40,000 troops (total number, including non-combat soldiers such as logistics. )。

It didn't matter before, but now the military seat actually issued an order to annihilate the 14th Division within five hours, and the artillery attack just now took nearly an hour, which means that they still have four hours left to destroy the remnants of the army.

"Brother, can you let the brothers in our battalion who are still alive take a look at your tank one by one after the war? The brothers were curious about how this thing was done. Xu Sansi said to the tank commander with a wicked smile, and at the same time, the soldiers behind him also nodded heavily.

"That's a matter of principle, how dare I let you get in without permission from above?" The tank commander also replied with a wicked smile, but after seeing the disappointed eyes of the group of infantry behind him, the tank commander suddenly said with a serious face: "Don't worry, even if Lao Tzu is held accountable by the military seat, Lao Tzu will let the brothers come in and take a look." ”

"Rush!" Listening to the words of the tank commander, the group of infantry, who were originally very disappointed, instantly broke out into an earth-shattering shout. The tank driver suddenly increased the throttle, and the tank quickly flew out like a wild horse.

Due to the difference in tactics, this time the tank group did not play the role of infantry bunker, but quickly rushed into the enemy group at the beginning of the battle, striving to inflict maximum casualties on the enemy before the infantry arrived, so as to assist the infantry to quickly sweep the entire battlefield.

When the T-34 is at top speed, he will always be the first to charge at the enemy group, and after a few minutes of tight driving, the tank will be met by the scattered troops that have just burst out of the artillery fire. One by one, they were disgraced and depressed, and they didn't seem to have reacted to what had happened. This is fundamentally similar to the Chinese army they fought yesterday, where did they get the artillery?

There are even many soldiers who died in their tents or around, and many people were swallowed up by the fierce artillery fire before they had time to put on their clothes, and the gunfire in the center of the army did not affect the rest of these soldiers on the periphery, and they also needed to have a good rest after fighting for so many days in a row, but they did not expect that it was because of this negligence that the army had such a large number of casualties.

The tank group is like a tiger, the 85 mm tank guns are far away and they begin to aim at the large number of Japanese troops, the machine gunners are also looking for scattered Japanese troops to strafe, the turbulence caused by the high-speed tanks does not seem to bring them much difficulty, one shot is not accurate, then two shots, as for the tank guns, anyway, it is the infantry of the army, it does not matter whether it is accurate or not.

The army has just run out of the artillery fire, and before they can gain a firm foothold, the second wave of attacks will come suddenly, which caught them off guard, and the first to run out of the army has basically been wiped out, although the army behind them has some vigilance, but they lack anti-tank weapons, but they are helpless against the tanks that rushed into the crowd of the army, and the soldiers seem to finally know what it means to be a wolf into the flock.
