Chapter 115: The Ancient Meaning of the Stars
Giving up blocking the enemy head-on, and scattering the troops to greatly reduce the effectiveness of the enemy's assault, and then destroying the enemy little by little through countless skirmishes, this kind of thinking made Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly have a sense of déjà vu, and the brigade commander of Major General Yoshio Shinozuka, who has always prided himself on knowing the ancient Chinese art of war, suddenly changed his face greatly, and almost blurted out, "It can't be wrong, this is the Star Scattering Array, Yue Fei's Star Scattering Array!" ”
Although modern warfare is very different from ancient times, tanks and heavy cavalry do have many similarities, and Hu Weidong's practice of letting the troops get out of the way of the front inadvertently also alludes to the ancient meaning of the Star Array, but what really makes Shinozuka Yoshio feel cold is that he knows that any army in history that can use the Star Formation well must be the world's first-class elite soldiers. The fact that everyone is determined to die is already not to be underestimated, and unlike the Yuejia army in history, which is often outnumbered, but now it is independently mixed into the 1st Brigade to outnumber, if you want to defeat such a strong army, isn't it difficult to climb to the sky?
Of course, unlike the heavy cavalry that everyone can threaten as long as there is a long weapon, there is no special anti-tank weapon, and it is generally difficult to threaten a tank with armor protection, but the enemy's gun grenade somehow has a strong armor-piercing ability, and those domestic enterprises are too material-saving when producing tanks, and the thin steel plate can not even prevent the enemy's rifle
The more Yoshio Shinozuka thought about it, the more frightened he became, the Yue family army was able to defeat the heavy cavalry of the Jin army, which was several times more powerful than himself, and now the enemy with more than ten times his own strength was as simple as eating vegetables. As for the passivity of the Red 15th Army at the beginning, it was directly made up by its brain into a plan to "lure the enemy into depth", so it hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat
In fact. Hu Weidong is also under considerable pressure at this time, although his style of play should be effective. But the courage and cohesion of the majority of commanders and fighters are extremely high, if any regiment in the face of the enemy's armored torrent psychological collapse, then it is likely to be defeated, but I didn't expect the devil to admit it so quickly, he immediately ordered the 44 150mm guns directly under the regiment to launch a fierce artillery attack on the far end of the enemy armored cluster that began to retreat, and at the same time ordered the Hu Lian armored brigade, which had repeatedly asked for battle, to attack immediately, even if the artillery was fired, there were still some qualified gunners in the Red Army tank corps, And their biggest role is really only to cause panic among the enemy troops
Sure enough, when Yoshio Shinozuka saw that the Red Army had so many tanks and armored vehicles, he immediately strengthened his judgment that he had fallen into the enemy's trap, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat. To his surprise, the enemy did not send troops to stop him. Just when he felt strange. A row of shells whistled down into the tank group, although only one directly hit, but the 150mm large-caliber shells were so powerful that as long as they fell within a few meters of the tank, it was enough to shock the tank crew to death or stun, for which another tank lay on its stomach. And this was only the beginning, in just ten minutes, the Red Eighth Army frantically fired more than 2,000 shells, which were enough to blow up and paralyze thirty or forty devil tanks. Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but drip blood in his heart, this is all his heart and liver baby, although it is a little smaller and brittle, after all, it is also a chariot, isn't it? However, "the house leak coincided with the overnight rain", and the devils were just relieved to find that the density of the Red Army's shelling had dropped sharply (the devil tanks escaped the effective range of 150mm howitzers), and the 24 planes of the Red Army flying regiment passed for nearly an hour (the maximum flight speed of the old bombers was about 200 km / h). The flight finally arrived on the battlefield
Although because the devils were retreating rapidly, their anti-aircraft firepower, which had been greatly strengthened before the war, had no time to fire at the air. The devil fighters at Jinzhou Airport are even more out of reach, but among the planes of the Red Army Flying Regiment, there are now only 6 old bombers captured in Jiangnan that can threaten the devil's tanks, and the 18 fighters also came over because the fighter pilots actively asked for battle, on the other hand, it was just to strengthen the momentum and expand the panic of the enemy, but the fighter pilots did not want to make no contribution in this kind of war, and Zhong Ming, a young man who was only 21 years old, has always been flexible. Immediately found the fighter, "The machine gun can't help those Iron King Ba, but it's still no problem to fight cars and devil soldiers"...,
Unlike most of his peers, Zhong Ming was an excellent machine gunner in the independent division half a year ago, due to the relatively short time of flight training, his flying jishu was not very good, but his shooting jishu was second to none in the entire flying regiment, and in just a few dive strafings, he achieved the goal of killing and wounding more than 20 Japanese soldiers and blowing up devil cars (trucks in this era are still dominated by gasoline engines, and it is easy to catch fire and explode if you hit the fuel tank.) The impressive record of the two.
Inspired by Zhong Ming, other fighter pilots also followed suit, more and more devil cars caught fire and exploded, China's highway construction during the Republic of China was far from being compared with later generations, less and narrower, and the road conditions were poor, so the result was obvious, just a moment of work, a broken car wreckage blocked the road
Although the car jishu of this era has matured, but the jeep and other off-road vehicles have not yet come out, ordinary models are completely ignoring the off-road performance, now the road is blocked, hundreds of cars can not cross the thunder pool for a while, and although the tank is much stronger off-road ability, but can not leave these thousands of comrades to escape alone, right? So they were also blocked here, and after such a delay, the armored brigade of the Red Eighth Army quickly caught up and launched a fierce attack, while the Red Army's eight 150mm field cannons also continued to shell, and achieved greater results than before because the devil's tanks and cars were crowded together
At this time, a large-caliber shell had just landed on the side of the tank that Major General Yoshio Shinozuka was riding, but Yoshio Shinozuka, who had been prepared, had been supporting himself with his elbows and insisting on not letting his chest and abdomen come into direct contact with the inner wall of the turret, thus greatly reducing the damage to his internal organs from the blast wave (this move is more effective against the unconscionable cannon and can greatly reduce the mortality rate). And to avoid a single death. After discovering that the track was faulty and could not be started, Yoshio Shinozuka reluctantly got out of the tank and changed to a Type 95 light tank with thinner armor but much better reliability, and finally made a decision in his heart, "You can't die like this, you must go back alive and report to the military headquarters!" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
