It's opened, take a rest of your eyes, and it's not bad to listen to books!

The anti-tank trenches and anti-tank mines at the front of the position greatly delayed the offensive of the RI Army, and it was almost noon that the small RI finally broke through to the position of the second company of the 19th Brigade.

Zhang Youquan's second company fought very badly in Shanxian County, Xu 19 didn't say anything afterwards, but the good-faced Zhang Youquan would rather be scolded by Xu 19 for being bloody, after the battle, Zhang Youquan put away his usual arrogance, and began to seriously summarize the gains and losses of the battle in Shanxian, and at the same time humbly learned the tactics of the first company.

I'm not afraid that veterans can fight, I'm afraid that veterans can learn, Zhang Youquan's humility is up, it's really different, Zhang Youquan also found in his study that the routines of the 19th Brigade are really different from other **, and they really work on the battlefield, for example, the construction of fortifications, the echelon arrangement of the 19th Brigade is much more powerful than the frontal deployment.

This time, Zhang Youquan held back his strength to prove that his second company was no worse than Gao Shenxing's first company, so it was easy to say that he won the opportunity to be at the forefront of the whole team from Xu Shijiu.

"No one is allowed to shoot without my orders."

Zhang Youquan held the box cannon in his hand, his eyes stared coldly ahead, the Iron King Eight of the small ribun in front was only less than two hundred meters away from the first main trench of the second company, and the dozen or so foxholes at the forefront were less than a hundred meters away from the RI army, but Zhang Youquan was unmoved.

Seeing that Xiao Riben's Iron King Bayue was getting closer and closer, the bayonet in the hands of the Riben soldiers was also shining in the sun, and the breathing of many recruits began to become heavy, but no one panicked, and no one shot indiscriminately

Without warning, the soldiers who followed behind the tank suddenly became chaotic.

Zhang Youquan smiled, Xiao Ri had already broken into the mine array arranged by the engineer platoon, this kind of anti-infantry mine was invented by Li Zihan, the commander of the engineer platoon, to put it bluntly, it was actually a mm caliber bullet, and after a little modification, it became an anti-infantry mine

Last night, the engineer platoon laid at least a thousand anti-infantry mines in front of the position, and even if the tank in front of it ran over and triggered some of them, the rest was enough for a small man to drink.

Sure enough, the little riben stopped again, and a team of medics with the red cross emblem hurriedly came up carrying stretchers and carried down several wounded riben soldiers, and then a team of sappers came up with mine detectors and began to clear mines.

This time, more than a dozen sharpshooters led by Gao Shenxing did not come to make trouble, and let Xiao Riben calmly sweep mines, thousands of anti-infantry mines, enough for Xiao Riben to be busy until the afternoon

While Gao Shenxing was napping, Li Mu quietly stretched out his hand to the modified rifle that was put aside, however, without waiting for Li Mu's hand to touch the modified rifle, Gao Shenxing, who was napping, suddenly opened his eyes and glared back at Li Mu, Li Mu smiled awkwardly, and took back the outstretched hand with some surprise.

Gao Shenxing asked coldly, "Are you here?" ”

Li Mu nodded again and again: "Company commander, lend me as an envoy?" ”

"Want to borrow me a gun?" Gao Shenxing smiled, and just when infinite hope rose in Li Mu's heart, Gao Shenxing's expression instantly turned cold, and said, "There are no doors." ”

Li Mu's face fell, he really liked Gao Shenxing's gun.

Fierce gunfire suddenly sounded on the front position, and the second company finally exchanged fire with Xiao Riben, who was not a fool, after sweeping away more than a dozen anti-infantry mines, they found that this minefield was extremely dense, and it would take half a day to completely clear it, so they asked the tanks to run back and forth to clear the way for the infantry to advance.

The gunshots rang out on the battlefield, but Gao Shenxing really fell asleep.

Although Gao Shenxing has not followed Xu 19 for a long time, he already has a considerable understanding of Xu 19's tactical thinking, he knows that there is nothing to do with him Gao Shenxing and Yilian during the day today, and when it comes to the evening, it is the time for them to attack in a row, because it has never been the style of their 19th Brigade to only take a beating and not fight back.

There is a characteristic of the small ri's war, once the frontal attack can't open the situation, the troops will be divided to outflank the flanks, and sometimes the frontal attack will be the first to outflank the flanks, and ** The war also has a characteristic, that is, it only pays attention to the front and does not pay attention to the flank protection, so every time it suffers a big loss under the flank outflanking of the small riben.

Sakagaki Seishiro was able to defeat more than 30 divisions of the Jin Sui Army and the Zhongyang Army with half a division, because this old devil played a perfect game of outflanking the flanks, and Yan Xishan, an old warlord, did not know how to protect the flanks at all, so that the RI army easily attacked and occupied Niangzi Pass, causing more than 30 divisions on the Xinkou front line to fall into a predicament.

Tatsumi Kusaba also likes to flank the flanks, but this time he kicked it to the iron plate.

Feng Shengfa had long been prepared for the flank outflanking of Xiao Riben, and arranged the 19th Brigade on the flank, and the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Infantry Wing of Kusaba Tatsumi sent the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Infantry Wing to storm for a whole day, and was stunned that he could not break through the defense line of the 19th Brigade, and also suffered more than 400 casualties, and the squadron leader was killed by two.

Limited by equipment, **'s offense is indeed not very good, but the defense is still very strong.

"Brigade commander, the Zhina Army on the right flank is very tenacious, and the fortifications are very strong, and the cluster artillery bombardment of the Imperial Army has hardly caused much damage to their lives." Yoshio Misawa couldn't help but glance at Hirata Kenyoshi when he said this, and Hirata Kenyoshi avoided his gaze with some weakness, in today's battle, the killing effect of the heavy artillery brigade on ** is very unsatisfactory, not to mention directly defeating **, even weakening **'s fighting spirit.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Hirata Kenkishi's heavy artillery brigade, heavy artillery brigade of UMM caliber and even 15UMM caliber heavy howitzers are still very lethal, but Xiaori is fundamentally a resource-poor country, so it is impossible for the base camp of the RI army to send artillery shells to the front line without restrictions.

In addition, eastern Henan is a plain, the soil layer is deep, easy to excavate, 74 officers and soldiers with the help of tens of thousands of people built a large number of field fortifications overnight, ** field fortifications are complete, and the density of small artillery shells is far from saturated.

After the August 13 air battle, the technical and tactical capabilities of the RI army aviation have been greatly improved, and ordinary RI pilots can dive bomb the ** position, and Jishu can even throw aerial bombs directly into the underground shelter to destroy the command of **.

Fortunately, the speed of the advance of the infantry in Xuzhou was so fast that the engineers did not have time to build an airfield on the front line, forcing the air force of the air force to fly over from the airports of Beiping, Tianjin, or Qingdao, thousands of kilometers away, to cooperate with the infantry, and this greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the air force.

Yoshio Misawa said again: "Division commander, the offensive of the 20th Infantry Wing has been seriously frustrated, do you see, do you turn the direction of the main attack to the junction of the defense line of the opposite Shina Army, force a breakthrough from the middle, and then break through each after dividing the Shina Army?" ”

Yoshio Misawa has never despised the ** on the opposite side, but he also didn't expect this ** to be so tenacious, the right flank ** is at most the strength of a regiment, in the face of the onslaught of an infantry brigade of the RI Army, and the tank to guide the infantry to attack, ** stunned is not down, since the Battle of Songhu has been so tenacious ** has been rare.

Kusaba Tatsumi didn't immediately express his position, but asked, "Have you ever found out the number of the opposite branch army?" ”

Yoshio Misawa could only smile bitterly and shake his head, after the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war, dozens of armies appeared at once, and the two-level structure of the corps and corps was newly organized, which made the intelligence agency of the Ri army anxious, and it was completely unclear about the southeast and northwest, and the prisoners of war caught on the battlefield only knew that they were several battalions and companies, and the regimental number was not clear.

"Yaga." Kusaba Tatsumi was furious, and he didn't even know who his opponent was after fighting here for a long time.

Hirata Kenyoshi said: "The combat effectiveness of the opposite China Army is extremely strong, and its officers also know how to arrange anti-tank cones and dig anti-tank trenches to restrict the advance route of the Imperial Army's tanks. Zhongyang Military Academy Teaching Corps? ”

Yoshio Misawa said: "Although the teaching corps of the Zhongyang Military Academy was single-handedly trained and trained by the German Advisory Group for Aiding China, the equipment of Jishu is also the most haode in the Chinese army, but its performance in the Battle of Songhu was average, and it was severely damaged by our division in the battle for Nanjing, and then it was revoked by the leader of the Zhina, Jiang, this unit should no longer exist, right?" ”

Hirata Kenyoshi said: "If it wasn't for the Zhongyang Military Academy Teaching Corps, which unit would it be?" ”

Yoshio Misawa was silent for a moment and then suddenly said to Kusaba Tatsumi: "Division commander, I don't know if you have noticed that the fortifications built by the opposite branch of the China Army are obviously different from those of other China armies, other China Army pays attention to the front, and the strength of two regiments will never only be placed in the front, and the firepower points built are also mainly Zhengshe, while the opposite branch of the China Army pays more attention to the protection of the opposite side and rear direction, from the perspective of the fortifications built by the other side, the four brigades are actually arranged in echelons, The firepower points are also dominated by side fire and dark firepower, which is not like the consistent performance of the Zhina Army. ”

Toshio Imada, the captain of the Duli Tank Brigade, added: "The opposite branch of the Shina army also knows how to place anti-tank cones, can also modify anti-tank mines with 10m caliber shells, and the anti-tank trenches dug are also very standard, which is simply amazing, I can't imagine that there is such a unit in the Shina army." ”

Toshio Kimada's Duli Tank Brigade also performed poorly in today's battle, two tank squads and eight Type 95 light tanks that were put into battle successively, one withdrew from the battle because of track failure, two were destroyed by the side machine guns that pierced the side armor, and the remaining five were all planted in the anti-tank trench dug by **, and then were calmly blown up by the ** death squad holding bundles of grenades.

Yoshio Misawa said: "The Chinese army has always had the habit of digging traps in front of the position, which is not surprising, but the opposite Chinese army actually knows how to build standard anti-tank trenches, and the arrangement of anti-tank mine arrays is also quite orderly, which is indeed rare, division commander, I suspect that the commander of the opposite Chinese army is likely to have studied in the German ** colonel." ”

Kusaba Tatsumi frowned and said: "Among the senior generals of the Chinese army, there are only a few who have studied in Germany, Jiang Baili can be regarded as one of the leaders, but now he is terminally ill, so it won't be him, in addition to Jiang Baili, Gui Yongqing, Qiu Qingquan and their juniors, could it be one of these people?" ”

Before the large-scale invasion of China, the RI army had a record of senior generals above the division commander, and even the division commanders of local troops such as the Jin Sui Army, the Sichuan Army and the Gui Army had detailed records, and Jiang Baili, Gui Yongqing, Qiu Qingquan and other generals who had studied in Germany were the focus of attention of the intelligence department of the RI Army.

Yoshio Misawa was speechless, after the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the adjustment of personnel and establishment was wave after wave, and the intelligence department of the RI Army had already been overwhelmed, and there was no time to take care of those ** generals with German backgrounds, so Yoshio Misawa could not answer Tatsumi Kusaba's question.

Kusaba Tatsumi finally rejected Yoshio Mizawa's proposal, and decided to focus on a frontal attack the next day, supplemented by a right-wing outflank, and the old devil said in a stiff tone: "I don't care who the commander of the Shina on the other side is, and whether or not he has studied in Germany, tomorrow, I must deal with them." ”

"Hello." More than a dozen senior officers present at the scene straightened their feet at the same time and bowed their heads suddenly.
