Suddenly hearing the sound of cannons, Kuroki's face changed slightly.

He waited for a moment with a calm face, and then the communication came from the forward troops.

"Report to the chief, news came from the front that Yu was attacked by an armored unit of the Eighth Route Army on the left flank, according to the reconnaissance, it was a small armored unit of the Eighth Route Army, and the enemy only had a few armored vehicles equipped with artillery.

But they evacuated quickly, and the forward troops failed to destroy them in time! ”

The chief of staff on the side said thoughtfully: "Sir, it seems that these armored troops of the Eighth Route do not know whether they are alive or dead, and they have not retreated in a hurry as we imagined.

But our army has just entered the Suiyuan (Inner Mongolia) area, and these Eighth Routes have launched a surprise attack on our army so undisguisedly, what do they want to do?

Could it be that the Eighth Road thinks that we will be like the Nanzhi troops, they will be lured by them, disperse the troops, and then drag on for a week, when the people are sleepy and the fuel is about to run out, take the opportunity to launch a decisive battle? ”

Kuroki sneered when he heard this.

He's not Nanji's idiot.

"General?"

"Don't bother with it, I have also studied the tactics of the Eighth Route Army, and they especially like to use guerrilla tactics, including a few days ago, the Eighth Route Army used the so-called week tactics to drag down the Nanzhi chariot cluster, which should actually be regarded as the application of guerrilla tactics.

These harassments and sneak attacks are just their usual tactics to disperse our forces.

The forces of our Great Japanese Empire are unstoppable, and as long as our army is not scattered, it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to take advantage of it.

On my order, the reconnaissance force was to be expanded by two kilometers.

Before the discovery of the main force of the armored corps of the Eighth Route Army, it is absolutely forbidden to pursue it privately! ”

Kuroki gives the order.

He believes that including the Nanzhi tank cluster, if it were not for the excessive dispersion of troops and the lack of fuel supply, most of the tanks had reached the overhaul stage and were caught off guard by the Eighth Route Army.

In a head-to-head confrontation, Nanzhi may not necessarily lose to the so-called armored forces of the Eighth Road.

"Hey!"

……

The armored unit of the Eighth Route Army, in the front-line concealed command post temporarily built by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

Under the advanced communication equipment and efficient information transmission system, Kuroki, an old devil, probably never dreamed that he was still dozens of kilometers away with his team, and the intelligence news had already been transmitted to the headquarters and to the ears of Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

In order to command this battle like an arm, Kong Jieke explained in advance and created a smooth communication relay system to ensure the command of the entire battle.

Representatives sent by all parties to visit the battle were also present.

Everyone analyzed the evolution of the battle situation on the military simulation sand table in front of them, based on the communication information transmitted from the front line one after another.

Brigade Commander Zhang said: "It is indeed the armored troops sent from the direction of the Kwantung Army of the devil, which is exactly the same as Kong Jie's speculation. ”

Zhang Dabiao frowned tightly and said to Li Yunlong: "Regiment leader, this old devil of the Kwantung Army who led the team over this time is cunning enough.

According to the reports of our comrades on the front line, we have launched as many as five attacks on the flanks of the devil's troops.

But the little devil's side is calm enough, and has not made any effective military counteroffensive, but after we retreated, we further expanded the scope of reconnaissance in the direction of advance. ”

Li Yunlong nodded.

"It can be seen that this old devil who leads the team is very generous, and he should be much stronger than Nanzhi's fool."

Kong Jie smiled: "From another point of view, this is also a good thing, since the devil doesn't want to easily disperse his forces, then he just wants to kill them all."

After the devils in the province were dispersed, the traps that so many of our soldiers had worked so hard to dig all night were wasted! ”

Everyone laughed, their faces full of anticipation.

After deliberation, the order was issued from the command:

"The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions of the armored corps were all dispatched.

At noon, when the Japanese army was recuperating and replenishing their physical strength, the 1st Tank Battalion took the opportunity to attack.

When the Japanese army re-defended and the soldiers repaired again, the 2nd Tank Battalion continued to attack.

Then there was the third battalion of tanks, which fought in wheel warfare and never gave the Japanese a moment of respite.

Finally, the combat effectiveness of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions was concentrated to engage the Japanese army, and according to the pre-plan, the Japanese armored troops were gradually lured to the artificial swamp area that had been built in advance. ”

According to Kong Jie's special instructions: "It's still the old rule, the thunder is loud and the rain is small."

This Kwantung Army chariot unit came all the way over, in order to fight a decisive battle with us?

Our previous attack was a small fight, and the devil may not be able to see it, but if we really pull the main force out directly and put it in front of them, I don't believe it, this little devil can still sit still! ”

…… After May, the weather in the north is already very hot and dry, although the area of Mengxi belongs to the plateau terrain, but under the direct exposure of the sun, it is still frighteningly hot.

Kuroki is not led by regular infantry, but by an elite armored force.

Whether it is a tank or an armored vehicle, the soldiers who are driving in a almost closed space deeply feel the malice brought to them by the high temperature.

All of them were dripping with sweat, and before they saw the enemy, they were almost crazy.

The dull devil tank soldiers honestly languish in the tank cabin, and some tanks and armored vehicles are also equipped with fans in the cabin, but these are all things that burn fuel and consume electricity, and no one dares to enjoy it easily without the order of the commander.

Even if he was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, he opened the window and blew in most of the heat, and the old devil Kuroki also felt a little unbearable.

Until now, he hadn't figured out what the hell these damn Eighth Route Army were up to.

As soon as his team entered the Mengxi area, they were constantly harassed by small armored units of the Eighth Route Army along the way.

These eight-way roads came suddenly, and they were very cunning, using the mobility of various combat vehicles to choose to retreat directly after a sneak attack, without dragging their feet at all.

Based on the principle of not changing to change, Kuroki ignored the small forces of the Eighth Route Army.

But it's hard to say what the soldiers thought in their hearts.

When they came, they were full of arrogance and invincibility, thinking that as long as they pulled out the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army in the Mengxi area, they could tear them apart and annihilate them in an instant.

As a result, along the way, the Eighth Route Army attacked from time to time, but the imperial troops were forced to defend.

This made the little devils who were still rampant a little depressed.

The key is that no one dares to be careless along the way.

No one dares to guarantee the ticket, and the next sneak attack on the Eighth Route will be a general attack.

The spirits of the devils are in a tense state, and they are always ready to go into battle.

It was dragged all the way, and the battle never happened.

On the contrary, it was the devil soldiers who were tortured enough by the hot weather.

...... "One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, he exhausts me, in order to overcome it!" ”

In the hidden command post, after Li Yunlong finished speaking, he picked up the 50,000 special drink at hand, poured a large sip directly into his stomach, and then burped beautifully, "Cool~".

"Let's hang his little devil first, why is his little devil here, if you want to fight with us, we have to fight him? Drag him for a hundred and ten kilometers first, drag the little devil to exhaustion and then fight, hehe, there is nothing that cannot be won in this battle! ”

"Tut-tut!"

"Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, you are amazing now, you are Prime Minister Zhuge with a waist knife, you can be literate and martial!"

Brigade Commander Zhang clapped as he entered the command post from the outside of the bunker.

Then, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead fiercely, and said with some emotion: "Grandma, the weather is really hot when the sun shines directly."

The chariot troops of the devils must have been exhausted from the long run.

Along the way, I was constantly harassed by our sneak attacks in the form of wheel warfare, and there was no idle work at all.

It's just such a hot weather, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, aren't you afraid that your armored soldiers will be hot again? ”

Unexpectedly, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong laughed together when they heard this.

Zhang Dabiao explained on the side: "Brigade Commander Zhang, just put your heart in your stomach!" Our soldiers are comfortable in the belly of the chariot!

At the beginning of the creation of the armored corps, we took into account the situation of armored vehicles fighting in high temperatures.

Later, according to the transformation plan given by the military research institute of the first team, we created a fairly perfect exhaust ventilation system in the interior of the armored vehicle and tank.

Therefore, our soldiers will definitely not be able to heat up in the cabin of the chariot, and in addition, Brigade Commander Zhang, you have already arranged for some thirst-quenching fruits and other things that you came to send to our soldiers this time. ”

When Brigade Commander Zhang heard this, he was a little stunned for a while.

Kong Jie said with a smile: "This system does not have much technical content, and the production cost is not high, the main thing is to avoid the high temperature caused by the closed internal environment of the cabin."

The only downside may be that it consumes more fuel.

But we are not short of oil, our Eighth Route Army is such an armored corps, unlike his little devil who has so many chariots to support, we are just a little extravagant, and that is also what it should be! ”

"So, the current situation is that the devil is suffering from the scorching sun on his head and the hot yellow sand under his feet, while our soldiers are holding fruits in their hands, drinking drinks, and blowing a small breeze."

"Even though the battle hasn't started yet, we've already won a game!"

"Hahaha-"

……

...... "Damn it, what the hell is the weather!" Major General Kuroki scolded in the co-pilot, there are various terrains in this area, and the sand not far away seems to be rolling up layers of heat waves under the direct sunlight of the heat.

"General ——, Huh, we have been marching for almost two hours, the weather is too hot, the condition of the soldiers is not good, and there are even soldiers who have suffered heat stroke in the cabin.

Why don't you choose a place to camp for the time being, and then set off after resting! ”

The chief of staff of the devil on the side put forward his own proposal.

Kuroki wiped a handful of sweat stains indiscriminately and nodded, "Yuxi, you go and arrange it!" Remember, the fortifications of the temporary camp must be well constructed, and the Eighth Route must not be given any chance! ”

"Hey!"

The devils moved quickly, and the mighty men and horses quickly selected a place as a temporary camp for temporary repairs, and at noon, many little devils skillfully began to build pots and cook.

…… The commander of the first battalion of the armored corps of the first independent detachment of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin looked at his watch, and it was already the time that the old regiment commander said.

While waiting, news came from the communications corps.

"Battalion commander, there is a situation from the preface observation post, and the devil has already started to cook in a pot!"

The commander of the first battalion nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, continue to investigate, tell the soldiers, don't be anxious, and wait until the devil is almost ready, let's take action."

Oh, by the way, report the coordinates to our artillery company in advance, and after the feint attack starts for a while, let's not do anything else, first blow up the pots and pans that the devils have gathered! ”

"Yes!"

Boom –

The sudden sound of cannons, the battle suddenly began, from the left and right flanks, and from three directions, the little devils were cooking in twos and threes, all of them were bluffed.

However, the little devils did not show other emotions, and the cooks continued to bury their heads in cooking after being stunned.

Kuroki is an old devil who is very shrewd, and when he rests, he also builds relatively tight fortifications on the outer line.

Therefore, in the eyes of the devil soldiers who are cooking and preparing to eat, the Eighth Route will probably be the same as before, just a small attack and disturbance, and it will not be able to enter at all.

Forthwith......

One after another, the cannonballs slashed through the air in a long-range manner, with graceful and destructive curves, as if they had eyes, and with the roar, they continued to explode in the more central cooking area of the devil.

Kuroki, an old devil who was enjoying lunch in a makeshift shade tent, was frightened by the movement.

The signal corps then hurriedly reported: "Report to the chief, a relatively large armored unit of the Eighth Route Army has appeared, which is carrying out long-range artillery bombardment of our army's camp, and preliminary detection shows that the enemy has at least more than 50 combat vehicles, including more than 10 modified tanks. ”

As soon as this information came out, Kuroki couldn't sit still any longer, and the scale of more than 50 tanks was already equivalent to the strength of nearly two tank squadrons of the Japanese army.

In this way, it is very likely that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has come over.

This made Kuroki both shocked and angry.

Surprisingly, after enduring the high temperature along the way and traveling for so long, he finally collided with the main armored force of the Eighth Road.

Angry, how dare these damn Eighth Route Army dare to take the initiative to jump out of the main force and attack themselves?

In any case, this temporary recuperation and the lunch that is about to enter the mouth are not taken care of for the time being.

In the face of the attack that was most likely the main armored force of the Eighth Route Army, the little devils did not dare to be careless, and after hurriedly removing the stove pots and pans, they threw themselves into the tense battle.

Boom –

Feeling that the angle was not good enough, the commander of a battalion who stood on the tank hatch with his toes on his toes, after holding a high-powered telescope to see the general situation inside the enemy, immediately shouted into the cabin: "Retreat, retreat immediately, the devil has already extinguished the fire and is ready to fight us!" ”

The message was delivered quickly.

In this regard, the soldiers had long been familiar with the road, and seeing that the little devil was annoyed, they did not hesitate to drive the combat vehicles to evacuate quickly.

As soon as the Eighth Route Army withdrew, due to sufficient preparation, the mobility was faster, and by the time the devil was tossed and ready to pursue, the Eighth Route was basically gone, and at this time, it was impossible to slowly mobilize various mobile units to coordinate the pursuit.

Looking at the Eighth Route Army, which had already been empty, Kuroki was furious.

He then began to curse Suiyuan's air force for being useless, and some of the backward and tattered chariots of the Eighth Route Army could not be dealt with.

But the Japanese flight team at the Wuchakou airport was also aggrieved.

The area is too vast, coupled with the complexity of the terrain, plateaus, plains, lakes, mountains, deserts, hills, almost all kinds of terrain.

These cunning Eighth Route Army are especially good at camouflage, and will deliberately arrange some more attractive camouflage targets on the ground.

The most important thing is that they also have quite strong anti-aircraft firepower in their hands.

Several air fire reinforcements, the losses of the Japanese flying squadron at the Wuchagou airfield were not small.

If you use the meaning of the leader of the devil flight squadron who led the team on a combat mission, but was almost shot through the heart by the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft machine gun.

- I've never seen such a ruthless Eighth Route Army, let alone a fighter, and even a reconnaissance plane, as long as you dare to appear on top of their heads, you can't wait to shoot you down......
