Standing on the sidelines, Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe and Deputy Chief of Staff Seizo Arisue listened to the report of the operational staff officer.

The iron-rolled sweeping tactics invented by Commander Okamura also quickly came to mind.

The two of them took a peek at Okamura Ninji, and sure enough, they saw Okamura Ninji's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.

A pair of eyes that look like they're trying to eat people.

Okamura Ningji never expected that Li Yunlong would actually use the iron-rolling sweeping tactics.

As the inventor of the iron rolling sweeping tactics and successfully experimenting with the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, Okamura Ninji naturally knew the power of the iron rolling sweeping tactics.

Especially in that small area, the iron roll tactics of cavalry, armored vehicles and tanks.

It can be described as a one-sided massacre.

If the Eighth Route Army fought chaotically, it would at least be able to break through the thousands of locust soldiers of the First Division.

Moreover, the battle time can reach half a day to a day, when the reinforcements of the 26th Division arrive, and thousands of soldiers can be rescued.

However, Li Yunlong used an iron-rolled sweeping tactic, and the ambushes of the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the highway did not need to move at all, and if the Eighth Route ambush did not move, there would be no loopholes, and the locust soldiers in the encirclement would not be able to escape.

Moreover, the use of this tactic can greatly increase the speed at which the Eighth Route Army can end the battle.

The battle, which was supposed to end in half a day to a day, only took a few hours to end.

After all, this is not more than 20,000 pigs, this is more than 20,000 locust soldiers, the soldiers of the Great Japanese Locust Army who can fight the enemy to the end in a desperate situation.

The officers and soldiers of the 1st Division are almost all professional soldiers, not the kind of soldiers who train for a few months and then go to the battlefield.

Since childhood, he has been baptized by bushido.,Celestial locusts、Bushido has an extremely perverted fanatical worship.。

It's not that easy to eliminate.

Thinking of this, Okamura Ninji looked at the communications staff officer and said in a deep voice: "Order the 26th Division, speed up and rush to the battlefield, and you must rescue the main force of the 1st Division!" ”

"Hey!"

The communications staff officer turned and left.

After the communications staff officer turned to leave, Okamura Ninji suddenly broke out, grabbed the edge of the conference table in the war hall with both hands, and overturned the long table: "Yaga! ”

The maps and tools on the table fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Tanabe Moritake and Yusue Seizo couldn't help but secretly say, His Excellency the general looked thin, but his explosive power should not be underestimated.

This conference table is at least 150 pounds, so easily overturned?

Then, Okamura Ningji looked at Tanabe Moritake: "Tanabe-kun, immediately prepare an airplane, equipped with a radio station, I will personally go to the northwest of Jin to command the locust army to break through." ”

Although some of the devils broke out, the devils who broke through were all in waves and did not get together, so the devils did not dare to return to fight the Eighth Route Army and rescue more Japanese soldiers who were surrounded.

At this time, it is estimated that there are still 10,000 living locust soldiers in the encirclement.

"Never."

Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisue were taken aback.

"Your Excellency, General." Tanabe Shengwu hurriedly persuaded, "The anti-aircraft firepower of the Eighth Route in the northwest of Jin is strong, so you must not go." ”

Seizo also persued: "In case the eighth route also calls for air support, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

If Okamura Ningji took a plane to the northwest of Shanxi, then one of them would definitely accompany him, and the other would stay at the headquarters of the North China Front.

Is the airspace in the northwest of Shanxi a casual place?

Especially in the skies above the battlefield, going is tantamount to looking for death, and the anti-aircraft firepower of the new regiment is estimated to have long been hungry and thirsty.

If you run into bombers and fighters called by the Eighth Route Army, Amarasu will not be able to save them when he comes.

The corners of Okamura Ninji's mouth twitched, thinking of the bombers and fighters that suddenly appeared, and after thinking about it, forget it.

Unfortunately, if the fighters and bombers from the base camp to supply the North China Front are in place, there is still hope to rescue the encircled locust army.

The specific operation is to first get the locust soldiers in the encirclement together, and then use all the bombers and fighters to carry out a wave of aerial bombs to wash the ground of the ambush position of the Eighth Route Army.

The encircled locust soldiers will be able to break through the gap blown out by the aerial bombs.

Although the soldiers of the Locust Army who were surrounded were very stupid long snake formations, they could save as much as they could.

Thinking of this, Okamura Ninji said three more things to Yusue Sei:

"There is a Sue-kun, immediately send a telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, asking Senior General Umezu Mijiro to send fighters and bombers to reinforce the 1st Division."

Although the North China Front does not have fighters and bombers at the moment, the Kwantung Army does, and it is very rich.

There were quite a few flight training airfields in Manchuria, and if the armies of other fronts wanted to launch an offensive, they basically had to deploy planes from the Kwantung Army.

"Hey!"

There is a sue Jingsan who suddenly paused.

"Wait."

Okamura Ninji said again:

"I'll talk to Admiral Umezu Mijiro in person."

Although the telegram is relatively confidential, after all, it takes a lot of time to translate the code, and the main force of the 1st Division now lacks time the most.

It's easy to be monitored by radio, but now Okamura Ninji doesn't care so much.

"Hey!"

"Your Excellency General, I'll arrange it."

Yusue Seizan bowed his head, then turned around and walked quickly towards the communication room.

……

Northwest of Shanxi.

Battlefield.

The battle is in full swing.

On the hill.

Everyone surrounded Grand Master Li and continued to condescendingly observe the battlefield situation with binoculars and artillery mirrors.

Although there were some hiccupes, the overall situation was still under control.

Through the field of vision of the 16x artillery mirror, Li Yunlong has almost the entire battlefield, and can use walkie-talkies to command the battle of each battalion at any time.

There was a loophole in the encirclement before, but Li Yunlong and they discovered it in time, and Li Yunlong used a walkie-talkie to give an order to the reserves, ordering the reserves to plug the gaps in time, so that more devils did not escape from the encirclement through those gaps.

Tank battalions and armored battalions appear in the field of view of the artillery mirror.

Next to the tanks and armored vehicles, stood the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Division, all armed with M3 submachine guns.

Tanks, armored vehicles and submachine guns are more compatible.

This time the ambush was the devils of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, and it was also a division regiment, these devils had an extremely tenacious will to fight, extremely strong combat effectiveness, and very accurate marksmanship.

Most of the devil soldiers dared to die with the tanks and armored vehicles with explosives.

So the tank needs the protection of the infantry.

Fortunately, the tank crews and infantry are now more skillful in coordinating with each other.

Equip the infantry with the same M3 submachine gun, and the firepower is even more ferocious.

On the other side, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army advanced steadily and rapidly, attacking back and forth in an area to prevent devils from slipping through the net.

……

on the battlefield.

Tank battalion commander Sun Desheng led four Leopard tanks at the regimental headquarters to also participate in the battle.

The last time Sun Desheng led the tank battalion to participate in the battle, it was to attack the 10th Division.

After several battles, the tank crews of the tank battalion became more and more experienced in combat, the drivers drove the tanks, the gunners became more skilled in operating the tank guns, and the machine gunners became more and more accurate.

After all, no matter how good the training results are, actual combat is the main criterion for testing combat effectiveness.

Ever since he read Li Yunlong's "Theory of Large-Scale Combat in Depth" given to him, Sun Desheng's mind has been full of armored cluster operations and blitzkrieg.

To this end, Sun Desheng also specialized in the study of the German army's use of armored clusters and blitzkrieg, and he had a lot of experience.

Before the war, Boss Chen went to the regiment headquarters to discuss with Li Yunlong that the original business of destroying Japanese tanks would be invalidated.

Now the new business is to destroy or capture a devil tank or armored car, and the new regiment can get a tank and armored car.

Just now, Sun Desheng saw a lot of devil tanks and armored vehicles, which were destroyed by the infantry's Bazooka and in the shelling.

In this battle, the new group made a lot of money.

At this rate, it won't be long before the new regiment can be equipped with hundreds of tanks.

At that time, you will be able to play armored swarm combat and blitzkrieg.

Thinking of this, Sun Desheng's eyes were even more victorious.

Times have changed.

For now, it's all just a small fight.

"Battalion commander, we don't have any machine gun shells in our tanks."

"We don't have any tanks left!"

"Our tanks too!"

“……”

In the walkie-talkie channel, tank commanders and armored commanders called out to Sun Desheng one after another.

"How much ammo do we have?"

Sun Desheng asked the machine gunner in his tank.

"Report to the battalion commander, there is only one box of bullets."

The Heavy replied.

The Leopard tank with a modified system could carry 4000 rounds of machine gun shells and 85 rounds of 75-mm shells.

Machine gun shells were fired quickly and were depleted in a short time, while tank shells were consumed more slowly.

"All tanks and armored vehicles stop moving forward, replenish ammunition!"

"The infantry build a defensive line in case the devils counterattack!"

Sun Desheng calmly gave orders to the infantry and the captains of tanks and armored vehicles on the walkie-talkie channel.

Because Sun Desheng had more operations, this time Li Yunlong handed over the armored battalion to Sun Desheng's command.

With Sun Desheng's order, all the armored vehicles and tanks stopped in a straight line, and the infantry stepped forward from behind the tanks to establish a defensive line.

When the devils saw that the tanks of the Eighth Route Army stopped to replenish ammunition, they thought that the opportunity had come, and the leader of a devil squadron gathered a squadron of devils to launch a counterattack.

Some of the devils still have explosives in their hands.

But the devil was greeted by a dense submachine gun bullet.

Not long after, almost all the devil soldiers of a devil squadron fell on the way to the charge.

Although the infantry of the new regiment also suffered casualties, the firepower was overwhelmingly superior to that of the devils, so the casualties were not large.

Under the cover of the infantry, the logistical supply personnel approached the tanks and armored vehicles at a brisk pace carrying ammunition boxes, and the crews loaded machine gun and artillery shells into the tanks and armored vehicles.

There are devils with mortars and grenadiers in the distance, but the fire is very sparse and the threat is small.

At the same time, the fighters armed with submachine guns also quickly grabbed the magazine full of submachine gun shells from the ammunition box and inserted them into their bodies.

It didn't take long for the ammunition of tanks and armored vehicles to be replenished, and at the same time the barrels of machine guns were replaced.

"Keep attacking!"

Seeing that all the armored vehicles and tanks had finished replenishing their ammunition, Sun Desheng immediately gave the order to continue the attack.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

As tanks and armored vehicles slowly moved forward, machine guns, tank guns, and submachine guns of tanks and armored vehicles fired continuously while advancing forward.

As soon as an infantry falls, the infantry behind immediately rises to the top.

The tank on-board machine gun is responsible for the machine gun fire point of the devil, and the infantry soldier is responsible for the infantry of the devil.

"Dingding......

Inside the tank, Sun Desheng heard bullets hitting the turret armor of the tank continuously, making a crisp sound.

Sun Desheng hurriedly looked through the field of vision of the observation mirror and saw that on a commanding height in front of him, a Type 92 heavy machine gun was spitting tongues of fire in the direction of the tank.

Sun Desheng ordered loudly: "100 meters ahead, the devil's heavy machine gun position, kill it for Lao Tzu!" ”

The machine gunner and gunner discovered the devil's heavy machine gun almost at the same time, and the machine gunner Wang Laishun pulled the M2 heavy machine gun to shoot first, and a tracer bullet chain was drawn towards the devil's heavy machine gun fire point like a whip.

However, due to the upward fire, the firing angle was not good, and the machine gun bullet sank in front of the devil's fire point, setting off a few canopies of snow and fog.

After a while, the Devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun continued to fire.

"I can't beat the devil's machine gunner in this position!"

The Heavy shouted.

"Leave it to me!"

Gunner Li Shanfu quickly turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at the heavy machine gun position of the devil.

"Tom!"

The tank of more than 40 tons shook suddenly, and a 75-mm high-explosive shell swept through the air, instantly hitting the machine gun fire point of the devils.

With a loud bang, the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the three devil machine gunners behind it flew into the sky along with the smoke and mud.

As the heavy machine gun fire point of the devil was taken out, the fighters armed with submachine guns emerged from behind the tank and continued to attack as the tank advanced.

Some devils rushed up with explosives and tried to die with the tank.

But it was either interrupted by a heavy machine gun at the waist, or shot into a sieve by a submachine gun.

There are also devils who pretend to be dead, put explosives under them, and try to wait for the tank to pass by before pulling the explosives.

But it didn't work at all, because the infantry would give a shuttle to the corpse in front of the tank.

Directly in front, a devil whose legs were blown off was crawling forward with an extremely painful expression, and from the devil's face, it could be seen that the devil wanted to live.

The tank driver looked through the observation window and looked ahead, just in time to see the devil's wounded soldier.

Then, the driver pulled the lever, slammed the accelerator, and drove towards the wounded soldier.

Soon the tank's tracks caught up with the devil's wounded soldier, and then pressed on it mercilessly.

"Ahh

Accompanied by a miserable Japanese scream, when the tank ran over the devil's body, only a rectangular puddle of meat was left in the snow.

"Tanks and armored vehicles are advancing steadily, don't be out of touch with the infantry!"

"Infantry protect tanks, watch out for devils holding explosives bags for suicide attacks!"

Sun Desheng said loudly over the intercom.

The anti-tank guns of the Devils were mainly 37-mm and 47-mm rapid-fire guns, which were difficult to destroy the armor of the Leopard tanks, and there were not many of them.

As for anti-tank guns, even worse.

At present, the main anti-tank weapon of the devil is the impact of the meat bullet, that is, holding the explosives and ending up with the tank.

As long as the impact of the devil's flesh bullet is prevented, the leopard tank will be a god blocking and killing God on this battlefield, and the Buddha will block and kill the Buddha.

In the past, the Chinese army faced the devil tank, and basically held the explosive bag, and died with the devil tank.

On the frontal battlefield, often a company of soldiers can't blow up a devil peew tank.

Right now, it's the devil's turn to blow up the tanks of the Chinese army with explosives, but the tanks of the Chinese army are thicker armored and protected by the infantrymen with strong firepower.

Finish the ammo, resupply the ammo, change the barrel, and advance the ......

I don't know how long it took, there was no longer a living devil in front of him, so Sun Desheng ordered to stop attacking forward.

Sun Desheng didn't know how much time had passed, but he knew that their tank alone had killed at least a few hundred devils!

This time it's really cool.
