Chapter 2: The Arduous War of Resistance (8)

No wonder Wang is very angry, in front of the enemy's artillery, no matter how high your tactical literacy and ability, you may eventually become an illiterate cannon fodder. There is no doubt about the advanced nature of self-propelled guns, and a comparison with the little devils can easily draw conclusions. The little devil's cannon needs to be pulled by trucks or pulled by manpower or animal power, and it is very slow to transfer. And for artillerymen, the rapid change of orientation is the most important point of survivability. In this regard, towed guns are very difficult to perform, while self-propelled guns are much more convenient, they only need to be put away and can be transferred immediately. There is also a rather important point in the supply of ammunition. The towed type requires additional auxiliary units to transport and supply, while the self-propelled guns can be carried on the vehicle, although the number of them is not very large, but it is more than enough to cope with a small battle. Wang Dayou couldn't figure it out, since our artillery had so many advantages, why didn't we shoot at the little devils? The artillery of the little devil was destroyed, so why should the little devil attack? Not to mention six hours of defense in his three battalions, even sixty hours is not a problem.

Wang Dayou was angry, and Li Mazi, the battalion commander of the self-propelled artillery, was depressed. Of course, he was depressed and didn't take long before he happily received the order. He Zhengchuan's combat order to him through walkie-talkies was to cooperate with the three regiments and one battalion to repel the Japanese army attacking Lijiatunzi.

It turned out that when Wang Dayou's regiment and three battalions were fighting with the little devils in full swing, the 18th Brigade of the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army was attacking Lijiatunzi between Huairou and Changping with the cooperation of a tank brigade. In Lijiatunzi, He Zhengzhen originally arranged three regiments and three battalions to defend, among them, the three battalions of the chariot regiment were also there. But even so, against the Japanese troops of the previous brigade, this was too few men. Fatally, the mobilized retreating civilian contingent in Changping happened to be there at this time. In this way, in order to ensure the safety of civilians, the third battalion is not passively defensive, but also needs to take the initiative to attack. Because only in this way will it be possible to buy time and space for the retreat of civilians.

The Japanese attack on Lijiatunzi was not because of the civilians, but the real purpose was obviously to cut off the connection between Huairou and Changping, but to wipe out the Jibu Brigade.

The distance between Changping and Lijiatunzi was only more than 30 miles, and the three regiments and one battalion were the guard strength of the self-propelled artillery battalion, and the two troops had already approached the battlefield after half an hour's rapid march. At this time, the chariot units of both sides were fighting to the death, and behind the chariot units of both sides, the infantry also began to join the battlefield.

The Japanese army is still equipped with Quirrell as the main tank, supplemented by bean battles, and then some relatively rudimentary armored vehicles. Such a tank is naturally not an opponent of various types of tanks of the Jiguang type, and the two sides looked at each other, and the twelve Jiguang tanks of the third battalion of the tank regiment achieved a score of 5 to 0. There was also a bean battle that was directly dismembered.

The brigade commander of the 18th Brigade of the Japanese Army was Major General Jing Shuxuanshi. Jing Shuxuan was a commander with a lot of experience in actual combat, and when he saw that the chariots on both sides were not on the same level at all, if the chariot troops were allowed to fend for themselves, it was estimated that the fate of the entire army would be wiped out. And once the effective support of the chariot is lost, what will the remaining infantry rely on to deal with those steel monsters? Because of the lessons of the past, although the Japanese army was equipped with a certain number of anti-tank weapons this time, in order to speed up the march, the Ninth Division did not bring anti-tank guns, but only carried some relatively light anti-tank mines and anti-tank guns. But according to Jing Shu's estimate, these Cadet Army chariots, which even Quirrell can't deal with, are simply fantastical if they want to take the anti-tank gun test for restraint.

Jing Shuxuan was very self-aware, and now the Jiguang model is compared to the model when it first came out, because of the replacement of the engine with a higher horsepower, so the armor has been thickened by five centimeters. This thickness of armor, not to mention anti-tank guns, even anti-tank guns have to be replaced with special anti-tank shells to be effective.

Anti-tank mines can work, but the question is, the 18th Brigade is the attacker, and the Cadet Army is the defender, will people take the initiative to run over and step on your mines? Fools understand the truth. Therefore, Jing Shuxuan seized the opportunity and decisively organized a group of death squads to pounce on the tanks of the Cadet Army when the tanks of the army had not been completely annihilated. You want to use a human bomb to eliminate the biggest threat to your side.

Hundreds of human bombs rushed towards the chariot battalion, and Zhang Xiaomu, the commander of the third regiment and the third battalion, was also anxious when he saw it. Hurriedly ordered all to attack, and it was important to clear these head bombs for the 3rd Battalion of Tanks.

As soon as the infantry on both sides pressed up, the disadvantage of the student army was immediately apparent. Also, there are more than 5,000 people in a brigade, which is ten times the number of soldiers in the cadet army here. If there is a distance between the two sides, the student army can still suppress it for a while with its sharp weapons, and once it gets close, it will be useless.

Seeing that the crowd of the little devils was about to overwhelm the three regiments and three battalions of the chariots, at the critical moment, Li Mazi and his artillery played a role. For safety reasons, Li Mazi first personally tested a shot and hit the tail of the 18th Brigade. He was operating a 150mm howitzer, and once this shell exploded, it would immediately completely dismember about a dozen devils within a radius of tens of meters. The sound of heavy artillery is different, and the power of tank guns is not the same. The sound of artillery was earth-shattering, and the soldiers on both sides, except for those human bombs who had already lost their eyes and sacrificed their lives, involuntarily fired in place. Then the fighters of the three battalions of the three regiments cheered: "Our artillery! "The little devils of the 18th Brigade panicked. First of all, the mountain artillery brigade, which was located at the back of the group, fell into a panic. As an artilleryman, it is too sensitive to the sound of the explosion of shells. They could hear at once that the people on the opposite side were using heavy artillery. The mountain artillery brigade was depressed enough, and at first it wanted to shell the enemy's tanks, but more than a dozen shells hit it, and the opponent's tanks were unharmed. Then, they reluctantly stopped, and could only watch the infantry fill with flesh and blood. However, what they did not expect was that the people of China not only dispatched this iron-hulled tank, but also heavy artillery in the back.

Li Mazi had already seen the little devil's mountain artillery, and the cannon he had just fired was aimed at the opponent's artillery position. Guided by his first test-fired shells, more heavy artillery began to roar, raining more large shells into the air. In just five minutes, the eight mountain guns and their gunners were torn to pieces.

The sudden shelling caused Jing Shuxuanshi to fall into a huge panic, and he began to think: Could it be that the chariot troops of the Shina people were just decoys? On his own side, he has already laid out the thousands of troops of the Chinese people?

It is no wonder that Jing Shuxuan has this kind of thought, because as far as he knows, the army of China, especially the Cadet Army, the troops that can be equipped with heavy artillery are definitely above the division level. So, fearing that he would be surrounded and annihilated, he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.

And what he never dreamed of was that he really fell into the encirclement of the Cadet Army.
