Hearing that Li Yunlong was going to take the lead in the killing, Commander Xu said, "Lao Li, aren't you sitting in the command headquarters?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "This time is different from before, Lao Kong is in command and is responsible for giving orders, and Lao Ding and I must take the responsibility of rushing and killing."

Will be brave, I don't rush, what will the soldiers in front think?

If we want to deal with the large forces of the Chinese army of the old devil Inoue, we must break them up with the most fierce offensive and divide and encircle them, so that we can have hope of victory!

This time, we used heavy tanks as arrows, gathered armored troops, and used continuous wall-ramming charges to stun the old devils in Inoue, and after breaking up the large army of devils, they rushed to the isolated hills we had prepared for them, surrounded them, and then annihilated them one by one, and resolutely did not let them get close to each other and hold together.

All the troops turned on the radio, and when the voice of Taihang played the song of the armored troops, it was the time for us to attack, and before that, all the troops were silent on the radio! ”

"That's right, but you kid can't come nonsense, if the boss knows that Li Yunlong is the commander of the armored corps and actually drives the command tank to charge into battle, it's not good to directly take your kid down!"

"Don't, don't!" Li Yunlong hurriedly explained: "Commander, you don't want to talk nonsense! I made sure that my command tank was in the safest rear, and I didn't follow until the devil's defense line was completely broken.

You don't know, I've been holding back for a long time during this time, and if I don't go to the battlefield again, my body will be rusty! ”

Hahaha –

"I'm afraid you, Li Yunlong, are just this hobby!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

On the other side, the forward troops of the old devil Inoue were covered by the fire of the Eighth Route Army.

The Heavy Tank Regiment of the First Guerrilla Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, with four heavy tank battalions as the spearhead, began to launch an offensive against the devils, and these Type 42 heavy tanks composed of parts produced by the Allies, self-produced sites and turrets, equipped with long-barreled 85 mm tank guns, heated up one after another in the roar of the engine, started, and drove towards the devil's assembly area.

Kong Jie's plan was simple.

-- Use the four heavy battalions of the heavy regiment to open the way, guide the armored troops directly under the headquarters, tear the defense line of the forward troops of the 14th Devil Division from the front, and then the assault guns cooperate with mechanized infantry and cavalry to annihilate the divided and encircled devil troops.

However, the commanders of the Inoue Division had outstanding military qualities, and the individual combat ability of the devil soldiers at the grassroots level was strong and they had a tacit understanding; although they were almost lost in the first round of shelling, the officers at the grassroots level immediately transferred their troops out of the shelling area and reorganized their troops.

On the one hand, it launched a formation to meet the possible ambush troops of the Eighth Route Army, and on the other hand, it sent troops to prepare to open up a communication channel with the main force of the Chinese army.

After opening up the contact, you can get the main support for both offense and defense.

Soon, the battle broke out suddenly, and the two sides were on the verge of fighting, and the initial confrontation was extremely fierce.

Company Commander Dong, the commander of the first company of the heavy regiment, drove the battalion headquarters heavy 42 tank, took the lead in launching and advanced towards the assembly area of the devil's vanguard troops.

His car changed from 89 to 97, 97, and then to a type of battle, and finally changed to a Type 42 heavy tank, and a total of more than 20 tanks were destroyed.

This time, he was the first to lead the company to set off.

On the devil's side, the Chinese army was also hit hard by the artillery group of the Second Guerrilla Group of the Eighth Route Army.

Realizing that the enemy army had already ambushed here, the old devil Inoue was also a little panicked for a while, regretting that he had advanced rashly.

With the formation of the main force of the vanguard almost broken up and the troops suffering heavy casualties, Inoue also realized that all these preparations of the enemy army seemed to be directed at him.

At this time, he could only lead his troops in embarrassment, taking advantage of the terrain along the way to defend himself, while placing all his hopes on the reinforcement of the imperial troops.

If it goes well, maybe he can use his 14th Division as a sharp knife and use the tactic of flowering in the middle to unite reinforcements from all walks of life to wipe out these rampant enemy forces who dare to ambush him in one fell swoop.

In the face of the sudden artillery fire, Inoue hid in the pit, and after dodging the first round of artillery fire, he immediately ordered: "The troops quickly seize the high ground on both sides of the road and quickly build a defensive line.

Deploy anti-tank guns on the high ground and deploy towed artillery positions in preparation for the attacking forces of the enemy army.

In addition, the armored forces were ordered to count the losses, rush to transport the materials in the shelled area, distribute ammunition, and by the way see if the damaged combat vehicles could still be repaired, and if they could not be repaired, they would transfer usable ammunition and supplies. ”

At this time, the two sides had just clashed, and although the time was close to dawn, the sky was still dark, and it was impossible to figure out the specific situation of the enemy.

However, according to some radio signals intercepted by the Ministry of Communications, the information obtained after deciphering them was obtained.

In addition, the enemy forces closest to this area and most likely to operate in this area are indeed consistent with the intelligence information received.

Therefore, Inoue's initial judgment was that his opponent was the main force of the 35th Route Army of the National Army.

Although the 35th Route Army won many battles in the Mengxi area, in Inoue's view, this was nothing more than the incompetence of the troops stationed in Mongolia.

It's just a few national army troops.

In Inoue's judgment, except for the elite steel helmets of the Eighth Route Army, nothing else was taken into account by him.

So although the troops are ambushed and the losses are not small, Inoue, an old devil, still has the confidence to fight.

In his opinion, he also wanted to annihilate the most elite steel helmets of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, proving to the world that the Imperial Japanese forces were invincible!

How could it be defeated at the hands of the 35th Route Army of the National Army?

The worst can also get out of the whole body, when the Lanfeng battle, hundreds of thousands of national troops were not afraid, and now the equipment is several grades better than before, and there are secret weapons specifically for the Eighth Route Army's 97-type anti-tank guns in the 90-type battle, as well as the three-type middle battle.

This can completely fight to the death with the main force of the Eighth Route Army, let alone the national army in front of them.

Feeling the strength of the enemy's artillery fire, the old devil Inoue even pondered wildly, and after defeating the 35th Route Army, he captured a large number of artillery armored vehicles and all kinds of vehicles of the other side as a rich result!

For this reason, the old devil Inoue quickly analyzed the current battle situation and the surrounding environment.

He argues:

The weather is getting colder and colder, the snow is still drifting, and it is not so easy for the enemy to ambush them.

"If the Eighth Route Army had dispatched armored troops, our widely distributed motorized scouts would have discovered it a long time ago, and it would not be easy to start a mechanized vehicle due to the sudden drop in temperature.

In this low temperature state, not only the fuel will freeze, but also various pipelines will freeze, and it will take several hours to thaw the fuel, as well as preheat the pipes and vehicles, and it will even take several hours to get it down, and the loud sound of starting the engine of the armored vehicle, as long as you are not deaf, you can hear it from afar.

By the time the armored units of the Eighth Route Army had warmed up and deployed, we had already arranged the defensive line, overhauled the combat vehicles, and launched a counterattack under the cover of the air force. ”

It's also ironic to say.

The devils of the 14th Division have been in the northeast for a long time, and the winter combat experience of the armored forces, in Inoue's opinion, there is no better understanding of the entire Japanese army than himself.

After making up his mind, Inoue quickly contacted Major General Sakamoto of the forward force.

"Your troops continue to retreat, evade the pursuit of the enemy army, and prepare to join the main force!"

He then ordered the rearguard troops, with heavy artillery units, to hurry over to rendezvous and support.

Including the reserve force that stayed outside the east gate of Yangyuan, hurriedly captured the county seat, sent the baggage team into the city, and held the retreat in the middle.

How......

The actions on the side of the Eighth Route Army were faster, and after the end of the shelling, the main attacking armored troops immediately warmed up the car, guided the mechanized infantry, and began to intersperse the 14th Division.

This is precisely the remarkable effect brought about by the crushing of military technology.

How could this old devil Inoue's expect that the military industrial base of the Eighth Route Army had already developed some low-temperature resistant lubricants, including the corresponding fuel antifreeze, as well as the winter camouflage that had been prepared for a long time, and even the corresponding engine part of the silencing device.

The soldiers had long laid the foundation for the operation of mechanized troops in winter.

After the rapid outbreak of fighting between the two sides, these original problems were basically solved, and the troops carried out smoothly.

In this way, this old devil on Inoue was not ready, and the fire support force composed of assault guns, self-propelled anti-tank guns, self-propelled howitzers, and self-propelled mortars of the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army immediately launched a second round of fire strikes against the devils who had built positions after the transfer, covering the attack of the armored troops and tearing apart the formation of the 14th Division.

The Devil's Perimeter Alert Motorized Search Wing watched in astonishment as his troops were being shelled and scattered and fled.

Then they heard the roar of the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army, and soon they saw the tanks of the Eighth Route Army painted in winter, and the excellent camouflage almost made the tanks merge with the snow-covered white earth, like ghost cars moving forward one after another.

The ghost cars in all directions quickly pressed in, and the situation was quite shocking.

The devils almost forgot to report the situation for a while, they were on alert all the time, and they didn't hear the roar of the engine at all, where did the tanks of the Eighth Route Army come from?

With countless questions, most of these devils were killed by the anti-aircraft machine guns of the accompanying armored vehicles, and the rest desperately rushed back.

When the old devil Inoue was dodging the second round of shelling, he heard the news of the attack of the enemy's armored forces, and everyone was stupid.

He couldn't figure out how the enemy's armored forces could be reconstituted so quickly and launch a surprise attack in this ice and snow?

He subconsciously hurried to call for reinforcements, and he really couldn't hold it out when it was too late.

…… On the other side, the Devil's forward troops were soon attacked by the pursuing Eighth Route Army, and they were directly stunned.

The 98 light battle, which was equipped with a faster speed of the devil, was overhauled in the 97 middle war, and the battle was changed in one style, and in order to avoid the shelling, he rushed to the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army with all his strength, wanting to engage with the Eighth Route Army in a short battle.

As a result, 1.5 kilometers away, far beyond the effective range of the Devil tank, a Japanese combat vehicle was directly hit by the 85 mm long-barreled gun of the Type 42 heavy tank of the Eighth Route Army.

In particular, the crew of the first battalion and one company, which is the vanguard, with the assistance of new sights and vertical stabilization devices, has a starting hit rate of as high as 7 percent.

As the Japanese tank was torn apart in an instant, the shock brought by it shocked the devil tank soldiers, and their hearts were chilled for no reason.

The next moment.

The two steel torrents launched a white-hot confrontation.

In the history of the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army, including the history of the battle between the Japanese army and the Chiang army, there were very rare, or even unseen, head-to-head confrontations between a large number of tank units on both sides.

The number of combat vehicles of all kinds, including tanks and armored vehicles, as well as self-propelled guns and combat vehicles of various modifications, has been put into the hundreds.

When all of them were unfolded, it seemed that the mountains were full of chariots.

The scene is quite magnificent.

In contrast, according to the area of the battle situation after the tanks of both sides were deployed, the formation of the Japanese tanks was obviously a larger irregular rectangle, and the number of tanks was significantly larger.

However, with the front-line tank units of both sides completely exchanging words, the tide of battle turned in a striking turn.

It immediately leaned towards a one-sided situation.

The ensuing situation left the Japanese soldiers horrified and despaired.

With the chariots of both sides rushing.

Under the roar of tank artillery, you come and go, the sound of artillery is endless, and the smoke of gunpowder fills the air, almost every moment a combat vehicle is hit by a tank, and every moment a vehicle is destroyed by a shell.

As far as the eye can see, it is basically the devil's tank emitting black smoke or directly exploding.

On the other hand, on the side of the Eighth Route Army, there are not many cases of direct destruction of all kinds of chariots in disguise.

It stands to reason that the Japanese army, in accordance with the experience of the Blackwood Battlefield Brigade that was almost completely wiped out by the tank units of the Eighth Route Army, also installed a lot of additional armor on the front of the tank before this battle.

However, under the cover of the large-caliber artillery of the Eighth Route Army, some of these temporary additional armor were lifted off, some were deformed, and they were designed according to the protection of a 47-mm tank gun, which was useless in the face of the 85-mm long-barreled anti-tank guns.

You don't even need to use new armor-piercing shells, ordinary armor-piercing shells can easily penetrate the devil's tank.

The only thing the devil can do is to accelerate desperately, close to the side of the Eighth Route Army tank, or hit the tracks of the Eighth Route Army tank, causing the tank to lose mobility.

In addition, the tank guns equipped with Japanese tanks were difficult to break through the front armor defense of the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, plus the extended protective devices.

However, this limited mode of combat is too clumsy in the face of fierce chariot exchanges.

The tanks on the Japanese side were quickly destroyed, and the casualties and losses increased rapidly.

Major General Sakamoto, who watched the battle from the hills near the battlefield, watched his troops gradually be destroyed, and the remaining Imperial warriors urged the chariots to launch a desperate charge.

He yelled angrily: "Yaga, it's impossible, it's impossible!" How could the chariots of the Imperial Army be so vulnerable? ”

Moreover, the new tank of the Eighth Route Army is camouflaged, and if you don't look carefully at the appearance, you will think that it is a mid-style war!

The devil attacked blindly, and as a result, he suffered a big loss.

After 21 minutes of fighting, more than seventy percent of the tanks on the Japanese side had been destroyed.

The helpless old devil of Sakamoto could only order a self-propelled anti-tank gun truck to drive up the hills and cooperate with the 90 anti-tank troops to block the offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

He personally led the remaining troops to attack the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in the rear, trying to open up contact with the main Chinese army.

In the communication transmitted to the command of the Chinese army, Sakamoto said in despair: "The forward mobile force has suffered a serious blow, and the combat effectiveness of the enemy's armored forces is far stronger than expected. ”

But Inoue, the old devil who got the news, was stunned for a few seconds, and the deterioration of the battlefield situation caught him off guard.

He couldn't help but ask the chief of staff of the devil on the side: "When did it start, even the troops of the national army have such strong combat effectiveness?" ”

Until this moment, he thought that the opponent he was facing was the 35th Route Army of the National Army!
