Soon after, Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan City, received good news that made him overjoyed:

The flying team successfully completed the bombing mission, destroying all important military buildings in the base area of the Independent Regiment in one fell swoop, including but not limited to artillery batteries, artillery positions, automobile training grounds, tank parking camps, and so on......

After the signal soldier reported the news at the headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but clench his fists and said happily: "I played well, and I finally won a game." ”

"In this way, the interior of the independent regiment is already in chaos at the moment!"

"Beichuan Jun, since the confrontation with the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the shame and hatred suffered by our army have finally been repaid."

"Congratulations to the general, it has been proved that the military might of our Great Japanese First Army cannot be offended!" Chief of Staff Kitagawa echoed with a smile.

"What about the losses of the flying team?"

"Two planes crashed and several others were damaged, but fortunately they were able to return to the airport without any problems."

"This damn Eight Ways!"

Hearing that the two planes crashed, Yoshio Shinozuka still couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh.

Any aircraft is a very precious asset for the Japanese army.

Kitagawa said with relief:

"The air defense at hand of the Separate Regiment is not weak, they have a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns."

"Although the flight team lost two planes and several pilots this time, it returned important military facilities and all kinds of artillery, automobiles, tanks, and armored vehicles in the base area of the independent regiment, and almost all of them were destroyed."

"So calculated, general, the loss of two aircraft is worth it."

"Roar!"

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, and he could only comfort himself secretly.

"Next is the battle of Dafengzhuang, if Dafengzhuang can be successfully taken and seize a large amount of grain hoarded in Dafengzhuang by the Eighth Road, coupled with the bombing of the flying team, it will definitely cause quite heavy trauma to the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Speaking of which, Yoshio Shinozuka, who was quite expectant, even said:

"If it weren't for the severity of the disaster right now, I really want to take advantage of the heavy damage of the Independent Regiment to launch a large-scale sweep and wipe out this damn Independent Regiment in one fell swoop."

……

Daihoso.

From a distance, it was still calm.

In the early morning, there are villagers who get up early to make breakfast, and there are even curling smoke rising in the wind.

Kazuo Uehara, the squadron leader of the Devil Tank Squadron who was in charge of the command mission of this raid on Dafengzhuang, is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time.

Although this time he led the team mainly based on surprise tactics.

However, before officially approaching Dafengzhuang, the cautious Kazuo Uehara still sent reconnaissance cavalry in advance to move closer to the vicinity of Dafengzhuang and conduct reconnaissance in advance.

Okazaki, the squadron leader of the Devil Cavalry Squadron, is a grumpy fellow, and he thinks that Uehara's probe is too much.

"This is a surprise attack, with both armor and cavalry."

"There is no need to talk about any tactics, just raid the past, the small Dafengzhuang, just a few dirt roads, or it will take three or five minutes to fight."

"Uehara-kun, does it seem redundant to send cavalry reconnaissance in advance? There is also a risk of exposure. ”

"There is an old saying in China, be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship, Okazaki-kun, don't forget, our First Army has suffered a lot in the hands of this small independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Compared to Okazaki's irritability, Uehara is obviously a more insidious and cunning guy.

After ten minutes of waiting, several scouts sent out by Uehara returned.

"Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, after we arrived, we secretly investigated the situation in Dafengzhuang with a telescope, and did not find anything abnormal, and people were found in the village."

"In front of the village, apart from a small group of militia on guard, no other defensive forces were found."

"Yexi, I'll just say, the reconnaissance is too much, and it only takes a wave of charges, and the small Dafengzhuang can go down in a moment." Okazaki on the side said impatiently.

Uehara frowned, he didn't like to be around this reckless man.

In addition, although the general's order this time was to have the cavalry fight in tandem with his armored troops.

But Uehara has always believed that these guys who fight on war horses with the most primitive tactics are really not on the stage.

The cavalry should have been completely replaced by mechanized troops long ago.

Thinking of this, Uehara shouted, "Map soldiers! ”

"Hey!"

The devil map soldier immediately ran to Uehara, stood up, and took out the detailed battle map of the area around Dafengzhuang drawn by the Japanese General Staff in advance from the map bag he was carrying.

Uehara said to Okazaki as instructed on the battle map:

"Okazaki-kun, in order to give full play to the surprise role of your cavalry."

"I thought about it, the topography of the area around Dafengzhuang is surrounded by villages in the east and west of Dafengzhuang and to the south, and if our department raids from the other three directions, it will definitely alarm Dafengzhuang in advance.

If the Eighth Route of Dafengzhuang is prepared in advance, it will be unfavorable to our army. ”

"Therefore, directly choosing to attack from the north is the best choice for our army, but a single straight line advance does not conform to the principle of multi-point advance of surprise attack tactics."

"That's ...... I led my tanks and armored vehicles to attack Dafengzhuang from the north to the front, and you divided the cavalry into two divisions, detouring from the left and right, and attacking Dafengzhuang from the flanks on both sides. ”

"Try to take down Dafengzhuang in one fell swoop, and eliminate the Eighth Route Army and militia forces in Oitazhuang."

"Hey! This is exactly what I want! ”

Okazaki laughed in response, he had been waiting a little impatiently.

In his opinion, Uehara was too cautious.

To be afraid of a small village is an insult to the majesty of the warriors of the Imperial Japan.

After the two men reached an agreement, Okazaki immediately divided his cavalry squadron into two parts and made a roundabout attack from the left and right flanks towards Otoyoso.

The principle is to lead his own armored vehicle troops, attack from the front, and take the initiative to attract the firepower of the Eighth Route Army in Dafengzhuang.

While ordering the tanks and armored vehicles to advance, the cautious old devil Uehara also made a special request:

"Either way, caution is paramount."

"Order the infantry squads that work with tanks and armored vehicles to advance one step ahead of the tanks to ensure that there are no traps that are unfavorable to our tanks along the way."

"Hey!"

The devils were ordered to act quickly.

Uehara, an old devil, still knows a little bit of Butan coordination tactics.

When rushing towards Dafengzhuang, it was not in the tradition of the Japanese marines, and when the infantry and tanks were coordinated, most of the infantry hid behind the tanks.

Instead, let the infantry stand in front of the tank and push forward.

The area of the former village of Dafengzhuang.

Lei Dasheng, the commander of the first battalion, hid behind the bunker and looked through the binoculars at the approaching devil tanks and armored vehicles.

He couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the corners of his somewhat chapped mouth.

"This little devil of the dog day is finally here."

"We've been waiting for several days in a row, and I'm almost impatient."

Speaking of which, he noticed the infantry advancing with the devil tanks.

"Company commander, do you see it? The little devil also has a bit of a coordinated tactic of infantry and tan, and even let the infantry go ahead to protect the tank, it seems that the devil who commanded this tank is an expert. ”

The commander of the first company said with a smile: "Battalion commander, even if the devil infantry is in front, he may not be easy to use."

The trap we dug up specially for the tank, and the trap mouth is also specially paved with some wrist-thick branches, which people will definitely not step on and fall on, but as long as the devil tank presses up, with the weight of the tank, it will definitely fall inside. ”

"Don't be careless, it's better to be able to successfully trap the devil tank in the first line of anti-tank trenches."

"Tell the comrades, after putting the little devil 150 steps, give me the infantry who aim at the devil first!"

"Make sure that the Devil's infantry is all shrunk to the rear of the Devil's tanks and armored vehicles."

"Yes!"

"Is the sniper team in place?"

"The battalion commander can rest assured that the comrades of the sniper team are all in place, as long as the devil's tanks and armored vehicles are hindered for a moment, the comrades of the sniper team will strike at the first time and knock out the observation window, periscope, and scope of the devil's tank."

Lei Dasheng nodded.

"The devil's tank gun is not a joke, first knock out all kinds of sighting instruments of the devil's tank and let it become a living blind man."
