967 Confrontation of armored vehicle units with automobile units

Kong Jie's fierce attack broke out without any tentativeness.

The devil commander of the mechanized reinforced squadron, the captain of the squadron, who was suddenly attacked, immediately realized that something was not quite right.

The opponent's firepower is too fierce.

I don't know when the shells that locked onto the grenadier positions of his Imperial Squadron fell down, and they accurately knocked out the artillery that his entire squadron relied on to support.

Immediately afterward, the roaring cannon fire had barely completely dissipated.

The brigade wears standard military uniforms, even steel helmets, and field boots, and the Eighth Route Team is completely different from the Eighth Route Army troops in the northern Shanxi Province.

The soldiers are like agile cheetahs, fighting in the roar of filial piety.

And what shocked the Japanese captain the most was not the unusually ferocious firepower of the other party, which was far better than the backward equipment of the Eighth Route Army in northern Jinbei in his cognition.

It was the offensive tactics adopted by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which suddenly came out.

The captain saw that the other party was not at all like the regular Eighth Route Army troops, launching a tentative attack.

Or in the sound of the trumpet, a shocking attack that is not afraid of death.

It's a kind he hardly knows how to describe it.

In the end, he could only replace it with a scene that came to his mind that surprised him:

It was a group of wild wolves, and they found their target - a weak flock, and then the wild wolves scattered and surrounded it, completely surround the entire flock with absolute overwhelming momentum!

Yes.

Now the captain can be sure that it is this kind of momentum that is presented in this sudden appearance of the Eighth Route Army troops.

The other side didn't seem to regard them as the elite of the empire who were strong and well-armed.

They are not even regarded as opponents on the same level at all.

It's just like a flock of sheep to be slaughtered in the eyes of these wild wolves.

Therefore, the opponent's attack is not an attack, it is not a temptation, and it is not a desperate effort.

It's more like hunting, killing targets without delay.

Like a one-sided massacre.

There's nothing fancy about it.

The other is the opponent's tactical attack and the coordination of infantry artillery, which is completely beyond the cognition of the devil captain in front of him.

If we say that the regular infantry and artillery cooperation of his Japanese troops are in operation, it is that the artillery charges the infantry after the artillery bombardment, and the infantry charges after the artillery bombardment.

The infantry artillery of the Eighth Route Army in front of him has truly reached the tactical level of coordination.

After the concentrated artillery bombardment was completed, when the opponent's Eighth Route Army rushed forward to kill, the opponent's rear artillery was still firing, and each time it could accurately land dozens of meters in front of the attacking Eighth Route Army.

Accurately hit the Japanese side with machine gun fire and grenadier fire, covering the charge of your own infantry.

Not only conventional shells, but even follow-up smoke bombs, which hit the barrage of Xu Jin to cover the charge of their own infantry.

This is long-range artillery fire.

Closer, there are also some 50 small guns, 60 mortars.

Including some soldiers who were almost about to hand over to the Japanese army, they even picked up the repeating grenade launcher in their hands and directly threw the gun grenades towards the little devils within 100 meters.

The intensity of the support firepower displayed by this Eighth Route Army unit at the squad and platoon level has completely crushed the Japanese army.

At this time, every Japanese soldier could hardly concentrate on the opposing Eighth Route Army infantry.

It's obviously a battle between the infantry of the two sides, and the ones who came over are used by these damn Eighth Route Army, and I don't know what kind of hellish guns they use, as if they can be fired in bursts, and there is no need to stop at all.

The military literacy of the other party's soldiers is even more amazing, and the marksmanship is quite accurate, only to see that the trigger is constantly pulled, and the bullets are shot out one by one, and the little devil can't find a suitable cover for a while, and is constantly killed by bullets fired from all directions.

In the confrontation at this moment, the Garand semi-automatic rifle reflected the absolute crushing of the bolt-action, backward Type 38 rifle.

Even so, the fire of 50 small artillery pieces and 60 mortars, including a number of grenades, was accompanied by the follow-up of the side of the Eighth Route Army.

It was also accompanied by completely crushing fire from submachine guns in the narrow aisles.

This infantry-to-infantry confrontation was doomed to be unfair from the start.

Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, with better military literacy, sophisticated equipment, and a larger number of aircraft and artillery.

I will never talk to the Chinese army about any fair little devils.

At this moment, he tasted the grievance and despair of being unilaterally slaughtered by the troops of the Eighth Route Army with an absolutely unfair firepower advantage.

Is there any hope for a sheep that has been completely surrounded by wild wolves to escape?

The battle between the two sides came to a fever pitch at the moment of contact.

In the ensuing fierce and tragic confrontation, nearly 200 Japanese troops who were the first to enter Xiaonanzhuang were slaughtered for more than ten minutes.

The whole army was wiped out in Xiaonanzhuang.

Until the end of the battle in Zhuangnei, there was no little devil who could break out of the encirclement formed by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Outside the village.

Listen to the increasingly fierce gunfire coming from the village.

At first, the leader of the devil squad who stayed behind and guarded the dozen or so military cars subconsciously thought that His Excellency the squadron leader was leading the imperial troops to slaughter those weak and uncontrollable dirt roads.

But as the gunfire intensified, the devil lieutenant gradually sensed that something was not right.

On the one hand, he realized that many of the various gunfire sounds that came out were unfamiliar to him, and that he had never heard of them in the Imperial troops.

On the other hand, the sound of battle coming from Xiaonanzhuang seems to be gradually approaching the direction of the village entrance.

What does this mean?

This means that the squadron leader they are retreating in a hurry.

Then, the sound of these guns coming from now is not that His Excellency the squadron leader is leading the team to attack, but that he is being chased and beaten by the troops of the Eighth Route Army!

Realizing this, the devil lieutenant hurriedly sent a small team of scouts into the village in advance to meet and investigate the situation.

Before leaving, he specially instructed:

"If the situation is urgent and nothing can be done, shoot in time as a signal, and I will lead the remaining troops to drive the transport car to quickly meet the main force of reinforcements, and then carry the main force to reinforcements!"

"Hey!"

So not long after the devils of the squad entered the village, several gunshots were heard as agreed by both sides.

The second lieutenant in charge of staying behind did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered the drivers to jump back into the car, start the car, quickly retreat, converge with the main force of reinforcements, and then find a way to reinforce the squadron.

Pity.

This place is not a place where little devils can come and go whenever they want.

Including the devil's car, even if it is four wheels, the same is true.

When the leader of the devil squad took the remaining twenty or thirty little devils, he hurriedly drove more than a dozen military vehicles and hurriedly retreated along the road again.

More than a dozen cars had just driven less than three or five hundred meters.

The leader of the devil squad observed in horror that in the distance, seven or eight heavily armed armored vehicles were opening up the encirclement of the straggler line and pulling the net head-on.

The leader of the devil squad saw at a glance that it was a chariot belonging to the empire.

If it weren't for the opponent's posture, it wouldn't look like they were here to assist in the battle, and the machine gunners who exposed the tops of those armored vehicles were wearing the standard military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army.

This devil squad leader would even mistakenly think that it was the armored vehicle reinforcements sent by His Excellency the Wing Commander.

"Yaga, how can these damn dirt eight roads have imperial armored vehicles in their hands?"

I can't care about that at the moment.

Since this area is mostly plain terrain and the terrain is open, after the opponent's armored vehicles completely opened the encirclement formation, they immediately blocked all the roads from which more than a dozen cars of the devils could escape.

It is useless to withdraw now, on the side of Xiaonanzhuang, Your Excellency the squadron leader, I am afraid that they are already very lucky.

"Trap, this is the trap of the Eight Paths!"

This devil lieutenant also realized this, but unfortunately it was too late to say anything now.

In the face of the eight armored vehicles that closed the distance in the face, the armor was strong, and this devil lieutenant knew it very well.

With the guns in the hands of the remaining soldiers, it was impossible to stop the pace of the attack of the opposing armored vehicles.

Running away is also death.

At this moment, more than a dozen Japanese cars were already completely surrounded by eight armored vehicles.

Compared to the armored car, it is almost like a king eight shell, and there is no flawed armor defense.

The devil is just a military car used to quickly transport troops, and that's much worse.

In particular, those pilots who are exposed to the enemy's line of sight can easily be killed by the enemy.

In the end, seeing that there were nine deaths and no life, the devil second lieutenant was also very gentlemanly, and he broke out with a rare will to fight.

I heard him roar loudly:

"The holy war will be won, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor!"

He roared hard, took the lead, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and as the car drove at full speed, the whole car slammed into an armored car that was also coming onward without any dodge.

The platoon commander, who was reconnoitring the situation through the observation port of the armored vehicle, couldn't help but burst into foul language:

"This little devil is really like a mad dog!"

"Call me, we have to let the little devils know that in our place, they just want to commit suicide, and we have to see if we agree?

Kill the driver Lao Tzu! ”

DadaDaDa -

The dense firepower poured past, and although the devil lieutenant who was driving the car himself was determined to die, in the face of the oncoming fire, he was still beaten into a sieve in the next moment.

With the rapid passage of life, the devil second lieutenant stepped on the right foot of the accelerator, and was weakly bounced, the speed of the car immediately dropped, because no one continued to take the helm, the direction of the car also shifted, and the oncoming armored car passed sideways.

The platoon commander who commanded in the armored car also sweated: "Damn, I almost let the little devil change us!" ”

If an armored vehicle and a military car meet each other at full speed, even a well-armored armored vehicle can survive unharmed.

Under the fierce collision, the soldiers inside are probably not dead or injured.

Right now, this devil lieutenant is really ruthless enough.

Perhaps it was driven by the madness of the devil lieutenant who was not afraid of death and died with the Eighth Route Army, and then three or five devil drivers also followed the example of the devil lieutenant, stepped on the accelerator fiercely, drove the car, and tried to die with the armored vehicles of the enemy's Eighth Route Army with the last madness.

But under pressure, not all warriors are either.

In addition to these three or five little devils, the remaining devil drivers naturally did not have the courage to see the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army advancing.

They drove cars, either retreating, or looking for gaps, trying to break out and survive.

Unfortunately, when the weak flock becomes less united and begins to disperse, it is the perfect time for the wolves to start slaughtering.

Eight armored vehicles rushed back and forth under the driver's drive, focusing the attack on the devil driver in the driver's seat.

As long as the driver is knocked out, the devil's car will naturally lose power.

However, two devil cars also broke out of the blockade of armored vehicles and tried to escape.

The soldiers opened fire directly, blowing out several wheels on the flanks, and with the extreme speed, the body was suddenly unstable, and a devil transport car overturned on the spot after hitting a stone along the way.

When the battle of Xiaonanzhuang was coming to an end, the soldiers came out of Xiaonanzhuang and rushed all the way, when they saw their eight armored vehicles, completely stopping more than a dozen cars of the devils who were about to escape.

This is the first time that the officers and men of the Northwest Military Region have witnessed a battle between mechanized combat vehicles.

Watch as the eight armored vehicles belonging to your side rush back and forth.

The machine guns and artillery mounted on the armored vehicles fired in unison, and the whole thing was like a moving pillbox, completely destroying the devil's car fleet in a short period of time.

After the soldiers were shocked, they were full of fascination.

The commander of the first battalion who led the team even subconsciously muttered: "Awesome! This is the armored force of the Iron Triangle, and I don't know when our 358 Brigade will be able to have such a team. ”

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

The other side.

On the orders of the old devil Suzuki, the infantry brigade, plus the reinforced artillery squadron, the communications department of the devil's brigade, which was rapidly advancing towards Xiaonanzhuang, soon received the last communication from the mechanized reinforcement squadron that had been destroyed in Xiaonanzhuang.

"Communication is completely broken?" The devil Shaozuo was a little stunned.

The messenger nodded: "Yes, sir, there is no response!" ”

Just ten minutes ago, in the last communication, the devil captain showed his will to die:

Rather all the jade pieces to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

No further communication came.

Sensing that the situation was not good, Shaozuo did not dare to delay, and hurriedly commanded the infantry brigade to advance quickly with artillery units.

Considering the urgency of the battle, it is very likely that the mechanized combat squadron has already fallen into danger, and the artillery units that follow up are slower, delaying the pace of the entire brigade.

Although this devil Shaozuo is also worried that the artillery and baggage will be placed behind, it will be easy to be attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

But the situation is urgent, and he can't care about it.

After leaving a squadron as a guard, he led the rest of the infantry to march lightly and quickly advanced towards Xiaonanzhuang.

At the same time, the Communications Department of Shaozuo ordered the news to the command of the Guzhen Wing that the mechanized reinforced squadron was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in Xiaonanzhuang......
