Chapter 406: The Clueless Commander (Second Update!) )
"Captain, the enemy is on our right flank, armed with mountain artillery and mortars!" The gunners in the command car shouted.
"Counterattack, order the remaining tanks to fight back immediately, kill them with vehicle-mounted artillery, and fire the cannon quickly!" The squadron leader ordered in a hurry.
The devils who operate these tanks are veterans and have a quick reaction.
Immediately increase the horsepower and kill the artillery positions with a roar. Vehicle-mounted artillery, vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun, quickly adjust the angle of fire, ready to fire.
"Boom, boom!" Five vehicle-mounted guns spewed flames one after another, and then a violent explosion sounded in the artillery position.
More than a dozen gunners on the two running positions were directly blown up.
"Reload quickly, keep shooting, and take out the remaining tanks of the devils!" The commander of the mountain artillery company shouted with a pair of red eyes.
In the command vehicle of the devil tank, the squadron leader also stared at his subordinates with a pair of red eyes and urged his subordinates to speed up the reload.
Tank battles are fought against time.
If you can fire before the opponent fires and bombard the opponent, then the victory belongs to you.
If you fire a cannon later than your opponent, even if it is only a second late, the opponent may blast yourself into minced meat with one shot.
"Boom, boom!" In the end, the mountain artillery company and the flying thunder artillery company shot a second round of shells one step ahead of the devil.
After all, they had the advantage of being a preemptive striker and had to prepare for a little longer.
A total of eight shells with a screeching sound, through direct fire, once again bombarded the two tanks of the devil, and the turret of one of the tanks was directly blown off.
The hit rate of the nine Flying Thunder Cannons is much higher.
Because the devil's five combat vehicles rushed to the artillery position for more than 50 meters, most of the nine explosive packs that fell from the sky smashed around the tank and exploded.
In the violent explosion, the remaining three tanks stopped moving and lay in front of them.
"Keep firing and knock out the remaining three tanks!" The commander of the mountain artillery company continued to order.
A total of nineteen guns, three salvos wiped out the Devil Chariot Squadron. This was something Chen Zhengxiang didn't expect, and at the same time, it also made Chen Zhengxiang realize that the devil tank was not as terrible as he imagined.
"Wang Ping is right, these thin-skinned tanks equipped by devils are iron coffins. The devil also bullied us, and the Chinese army did not have anti-tank guns and artillery, so it dared to show off its might on the battlefield in China. As long as we have cannons, we can blow up as many as he comes! ”
Chen Zhengxiang had a smile on his face after victory, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
There were two heavy machine gun companies, a mortar company, and a guard company left in the detachment, and the attack on the devil infantry squadron was almost over.
Twelve mortar shells fell from the sky, directly blowing up two cars full of devils. The car, along with a dozen or so devils, was engulfed in a fireball.
There were more than a dozen cars left, and almost every two light and heavy machine guns stared at the devil and fired at the car compartment.
The whistling bullets were impenetrable, and more than half of the devils in the back of the carriage were killed or injured in an instant.
The rest of the devils subconsciously jumped out of the carriage, and when they relied on the carriage to counterattack, the bullets fired by the heavy machine gun directly pressed them so that they couldn't lift their heads.
On the highway, no matter where it is, only the body of a devil is exposed in front of the soldiers, and dozens of bullets can be summoned in an instant.
At this time, the second round of shells from the mortar battery flew over.
The car compartment can block bullets fired from the side, but it can't block shells falling from the sky.
After the explosion sounded on the road, more than a dozen devils were directly blown into the sky.
In the end, the devils of a squadron only lasted less than five minutes before the whole army was wiped out.
After the battle, more than fifty percent of the devil's corpses had no less than three bullet holes, and even more, there were more than a dozen bullet holes.
Yuan Dazuo led the follow-up troops and marched all the way, and when he hurried to the outside of Shouyang City, the battle was over, and the first detachment attacking Shouyang City had disappeared. In addition to the bonfires that have not yet burned out, the strong smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, there are corpses, cars, and tank wreckage everywhere!
"Baga, how is it possible, how did the Eighth Route Army do it, it can wipe out one of our chariot squadrons, a cavalry squadron, and an infantry squadron in such a short time!" Raw Osa looked at the tragic picture in front of him in disbelief, and then shouted loudly.
The adjutant who surveyed the battlefield quickly ran over with a gloomy face.
"Sir, Tubalu has concentrated a large number of mountain artillery, flying thunder artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns at the city gate to ambush our forward troops! The tanks of the tank squadron were all blown out by mountain artillery. The corpses of the cavalry squadron were riddled with bullet holes, and they were heavy machine guns. The Eighth Route Army prepared at least ten heavy machine guns on the city wall and fired frontally to slaughter our cavalry squadron! ”
"And the infantry squadron too, at least twenty heavy machine guns have been assembled on the Tuba Road to ambush our infantry squadron!"
Slap in the face, for the original Dazuo, this is definitely a living slap in the face!
More than half an hour ago, he was full of confidence that even if the forward troops were attacked, they could drag them until they arrived.
But the reality in front of him is just the opposite, he has arrived, but the forward troops are gone, and the Eighth Route Army that attacked the forward troops has also fled.
If it was just that Shouyang County was occupied by the Eighth Route Army, he could have put the blame on the Shouyang garrison. It was their inaction that could not hold out for even a few hours.
But the total annihilation of the forward troops, especially the tank squadrons, can only be blamed on themselves.
If you can't give an explanation to the military department, just losing a tank squadron is enough to let the military department give you a demotion. This is still the result of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka being in a good mood, and if he is in a bad mood, it is possible to send himself directly to a military court.
You know, there is a tank brigade in the entire First Army too far away, and now it is scrapped by one-third of it at once, and it is impossible for Commander Yoshio Shinozuka not to be angry. Because, the chariot brigade has always been a killer weapon in the hands of his old man, and it is only used at critical moments. And as long as this killer weapon is used, the final victory will definitely belong to the imperial army.
Native Dazuo, who was flushed with grievance and anger, was stunned for half a minute before slowly calming down.
In order to vent his anger and give an explanation to the military department, he scolded loudly: "Eight Geya Road, cunning Earth Eight Road, they must be eliminated!" ”
"The reconnaissance detachment immediately found the direction of the Tubalu retreat. The others, follow the reconnaissance detachment, and hunt down the Eighth Route Army! ”
"If we don't destroy these cunning Eighth Route Army, we will not retreat!"
Yuan Dazuo was enraged by Chen Zhengxiang's series of actions, and despite the adjutant's dissuasion, he led his troops to pursue and kill in the direction away from Taiyuan City.
At the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan City, Yoshio Shinozuka didn't know that the original Osa was taking the two thousand imperial troops in his hands step by step on the fourth road.
At about three o'clock in the morning, he fell asleep and was once again awakened by the chief of staff.
In Jinzhong, which was guarding the southern gate of Taiyuan City, one or two thousand Eighth Route troops suddenly appeared in the Yanggu area.
Overnight, more than a dozen strongholds and two county towns were occupied by the Eighth Route Army.
Then these Eighth Route Army seemed to go crazy, desperately attacking Jinzhong, Yanggu and other county towns heavily defended by the Japanese army!
Although the First Army had a lot of troops there, in the face of the Eighth Route Army, which had an absolute superiority in troops, several county towns seemed to have been discussed, and at the same time sent telegrams asking for help.
"Bage Yalu, can anyone tell me what the Eighth Route Army wants to do?" Without intelligence support, Yoshio Shinozuka has no clue at all. The whole person is like an angry hungry wolf, scolding anyone who is not pleasing to the eye!
