Chapter 451: Collective Dumbfounded (First Update!) )
"Baga, how did you do it, three tanks, an infantry squad of the Imperial Army, and a company of the Imperial Army, said that it was gone, and it didn't even touch the defensive position of the Eighth Route Army!" Rear Admiral Yoshino, who rushed over after hearing the news, was angry when he saw the corpses all over the battlefield and the three tanks lying not far away, and he cursed.
"Hey!" The captain of the striker team replied with his head bowed.
In the 4th Mixed Brigade, Major General Yoshino, as the only general, had absolute authority.
In the face of the strict hierarchy in the army, no one dared to provoke, especially when it came to war.
But this time, the forward captain clearly miscalculated Rear Admiral Yoshino's thoughts. In front, even the shadow of the Eighth Route Army was lost, and a tank squadron, half an infantry brigade, and an imperial association barracks were lost. Now that he has lost so many troops, as he is directly responsible for this operation, in the face of two consecutive defeats, he has only one thought in his heart, and it is not good to go out of the division.
This is a very bad start for an army and it is very demoralizing for the troops.
At this time, Major General Yoshino urgently needed his subordinates to take the initiative to stand up and analyze the reasons, and then assist him in winning another battle. Instead of keeping your head down and bearing your own anger without saying a word.
Therefore, the more the captain of the forward team does not speak, the more angry Yoshino becomes.
"Bage Yalu, are you dumb? I want to know how the offense failed. And tanks, what's the deal with three tanks? The Eighth Route Army was definitely not equipped with anti-tank guns, how did they destroy three of our tanks at a hundred meters away! ”
Captain Shao Zuo finally reacted and immediately replied: "Your Excellency General, it is true that Tubalu is not equipped with special anti-tank weapons, but they are equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns!" ”
"The anti-aircraft machine gun is powerful and has a lot of firepower, and it can completely penetrate the frontal armor of our light tanks at a distance of 100 meters!"
"Also, a large number of machine-gun fire points have been built on the Tuba Road in the mountain pass, and there are also on the mountainsides on both sides of the mountain pass. The blocking fire is very powerful, all kinds of crossfire are impermeable, and our people can't rush through it at all! ”
"Nani? Hit a tank with an anti-aircraft machine gun! Eight Grid Tooth Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army, how did they come up with it! Major General Yoshino was stunned for a moment, and then scolded again.
But this time he didn't scold for too long before he calmed down.
"The artillerymen immediately set up the mountain artillery! I'm going to use artillery shells to flatten the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army in Yamaguchi and blow up their firing points! ”
"Boom!"
It didn't take long for a thunderous explosion to sound in the mountain pass.
Twelve mountain guns, twelve field guns, as if the shells did not cost money, desperately fired shells at the mountain pass.
In the violent explosion, the mountain pass was once again shrouded in thick gunsmoke, and he could not see his fingers.
After more than 200 shells fell, Major General Yoshino ordered with great satisfaction: "Stop shelling!" Forward troops, continue the offensive and strive to take the mountain pass with one attack! ”
A tank brigade lost thirteen vehicles without even touching the main force of the Eighth Route Army, including ten medium tanks with the most powerful combat effectiveness.
The huge losses have made Major General Yoshino no longer dare to use tank units casually, especially after knowing that the Eighth Route Army has anti-aircraft machine guns in its hands to deal with tanks.
The captain of the forward brigade did not dare to slack off, and immediately organized an infantry squadron and a company of the Imperial Allied Army, lined up as loose as possible skirmishers, and swept towards the mountain pass, which was still filled with gunsmoke.
"Chief of Staff, the devils are attacking!" Hong Tao exclaimed excitedly.
The battle just now made him very enjoyable, using strong fortifications to easily eliminate more than 100 Japanese puppet troops without casualties.
This kind of battle has never been encountered by Hong Tao since he became a soldier.
As soon as the battle was over, he hoped that the Japanese would soon launch a second attack. In this way, he will have another chance to destroy the attacking Japanese puppet army.
"I saw it, it's still the old rules, kill them!" Yang Xiong was also excited. Whether it was the air defense company that easily destroyed the devil's three lucky tanks, or the blocking force easily killed more than 100 Japanese puppet troops just now, or the mountain pass fortifications easily resisted the devil's shelling just now! All of them made him confident in the next battle, and when he gave the order, he was more confident.
"Chief of Staff, just look at it! There must be no one left, kill them all! Hong Tao also looked confident, and answered without thinking about it.
Soon, piercing gunfire rang out in the mountain pass.
Major General Yoshino, who was watching the battle behind, directly showed a stunned and shocked expression on his face. He looked at the battlefield with his mouth open and looked disbelieving.
More than a dozen firing points in different positions fired together, and bullets flying from all directions quickly intertwined, forming an airtight bullet curtain that blocked the attacking troops.
In the face of powerful firepower, whether it is the Imperial Army or the Imperial Cooperative Army, as long as it collides, it will be turned into a hornet's nest in an instant.
Yoshino, holding a telescope, could clearly see that several soldiers had been hit in the head by bullets, and they were heavy machine gun bullets. The whole head was directly blasted, and the red and white brains splashed everywhere, which was very tragic.
However, the attacking devils are not vegetarians.
In the face of powerful firepower, there was no retreat.
Quickly lie on the ground, or hide behind the wreckage of the tank, with a rifle and a light machine gun in hand.
However, because many of the fire points in the mountain pass are arranged halfway up the mountain, even if they lie on the ground, the bullets flying from a high altitude can still easily penetrate their hearts!
Seeing that the losses of the attacking troops were getting bigger and bigger, even if someone was killed by the attacking troops on the position of the Eighth Route Army in Yamaguchi, the machine-gun fire was interrupted for only a few seconds before returning to normal.
As for the grenades that the attacking troops constantly fired at the firing point, explosions kept sounding, but the machine-gun fire did not stop, and it was not even interrupted!
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, our artillery bombardment did not destroy the firepower point of the Eighth Route Army at all!" Major General Yoshino finally reacted from the shock and exclaimed with a gloomy face.
Then he ordered: "Retreat, the attacking troops will retreat immediately." The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too strong, this is not an attack at all, it is a massacre! ”
Because Yang Xiong and Hong Tao wanted to eat the Japanese puppet army's attacking troops in one bite, they deliberately released water when they attacked, and let them rush to a position more than 100 meters in front of the formation before shooting.
But the retreat is different, from a hundred meters to the effective range of the withdrawal of heavy machine guns, there are more than two hundred meters in the middle.
As long as a dozen heavy machine guns were staring at them, it was impossible for them to retreat.
In the end, Rear Admiral Yoshino, who gritted his teeth, witnessed the annihilation of the Imperial Army of one of his infantry squadrons.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, cunning Eighth Route Army, I want to kill you all!" Major General Yoshino, who was instantly dumbfounded, scolded loudly.
Then he did not hesitate to order: "The artillery continues to fire, I do not believe that the machine-gun fire points on the Tuba Road are all permanent fortifications." Open fire, the shelling cannot be stopped without my orders.
At this time, the chief of staff of the brigade reminded: "General, I think that we can call in aviation support. Even if the firing point of the Tuba Road is a permanent fortification, it will not be able to withstand the attack of the imperial army's heavy aerial bombs! ”
"Then don't send a telegram!" Major General Yoshino ordered angrily.
