Chapter 855: You Told Me This Is Called Dirt Eight Roads?
"Lao Li, Deputy Regiment Commander Xing sent a telegram that 8 medium-sized bombers and new aerial bombs have arrived at Daguzhen Airport."
Cai Dong Village, the regiment headquarters of the new regiment, Zhao Gang held a telegram in his hand and said to Li Yunlong.
Chief of Staff Wang Dehou led the main force on the way.
However, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had already set up a temporary regimental headquarters in Caidong Village, waiting for the arrival of the large army.
Prepare for an attack on the Japanese positions tomorrow.
"Oh?"
Li Yunlong took the telegram and looked at it, his eyes lit up slightly.
The medium-sized bomber and the new aerial bomb were after killing Naosaburo Okabe, and Li Yunlong sent a telegram to Boss Chen to receive the goods first.
As for heavy howitzers and Katyusha, as well as other price codes, Li Yunlong plans to wait until the battle is over before receiving them.
"The power of this new type of aerial bomb should be very exciting!" Li Yunlong's eyes were full of anticipation.
Before they set off, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had already seen the data of the new aerial bomb.
There are not only pictures, but also data on its performance, weighing 5.4 tons, with a tail length of 6.4 meters, a maximum diameter of 0.965 meters, and an interior filled with 2.3 tons of aluminum-minced mixed-D1 explosives.
The power can only be described as terrifying.
After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "You can use it to blow up the devils in the tunnel, you can also use it to blow up warships, and you can even use it to blow up fortresses, it can penetrate 5-meter-thick concrete fortifications, which is more powerful than the B4 heavy howitzer." ”
"Yes, Lao Li!" Zhao Gang nodded, "This ground-penetrating bomb came too timely, the devil stole our tunnel tactics, and wanted to use the tunnel tactics to kill and injure a large number of our soldiers, and this ground-drilling bomb just came in handy." ”
"It's Naosaburo Okabe, that old devil, who came just in time."
Li Yunlong smiled slightly:
"If he doesn't come, we don't know when we want to get medium bombers and ground-penetrating bombs."
"But..."
"On paper, this weapon is very destructive, but the mule has to be pulled out first."
Although the A20 attack aircraft has relatively strong firepower, it is a light bomber after all.
And in the first list of aircraft given by Boss Chen, there are only light bombers, fighters, transport planes and reconnaissance aircraft.
Although the goblet is larger, the belly of the B25 bomber with improved systems is enough to hold a goblet bomb.
In other words, the B25 modified bomber given by the system was specially developed for goblet bombs.
This super-heavy aerial bomb is a free-falling guided bomb, which can simply adjust the trajectory when it is in free fall, using visual observation and radio command guidance, and two sets of octahedral annular wings are installed in series at the rear of the projectile body, and the latter set of wings has a control rudder surface, which can adjust the trajectory in response to the instructions issued by the bombardier.
Li Yunlong said: "Wait until tomorrow to attack the devil's position first, and see how the devil's tunnel tactics are learned." ”
The devil is poor in skills, and when the troops and weapons are not as good as the Eighth Route Army, they play pit tactics.
However, Li Yunlong did not panic at all.
This time it was a real large-scale corps operation, and the Eighth Route Army was fully prepared in terms of troops and combat materials, so it could slowly play with the devils.
Zhao Gang also smiled slightly: "Let's also be regarded as a master and an apprentice." ”
"Be our apprentice." Li Yunlong's tone was disdainful, "Devils are also worthy?" ”
In the evening of the same day, the infantry battalions and heavily armed units of the new regiment marched 50 kilometers and arrived at Dongcai Village under the leadership of Wang Dehou.
After a night's rest, the warriors recuperated.
The next day, in accordance with the battle plan issued by the regimental headquarters, the units launched an attack on the defensive line of the Japanese Fifth Division.
In the other direction, the new 2nd Regiment, under the leadership of Ding Wei, arrived in the area of Nitun Town, north of Taiyuan, and prepared to attack the devils of the 41st Division.
At the same time.
The main force of the 129th Division, under the leadership of the division commander, had already arrived at the Taigu defense line and was preparing to launch an attack on the devils of the two divisions of the Taigu defense line.
The two divisions defending the Taigu defensive line were the 24th Division and the 28th Division, which were transferred from Taigu.
These two divisions, with a total of 30,000 men, abandoned the Taigu defensive line, which had been penetrated by the 129th Division, and also adopted tunnel and anti-slope tactics in an attempt to kill and injure a large number of the living forces of the Eighth Route Army.
……
After a morning of preparation.
The artillerymen of the artillery battalions of the new regiment have already set up artillery positions.
75-mm mountain guns, 105-mm howitzers, 150-mm howitzers, 203-mm heavy howitzers, Katyusha rocket launchers...
The barrels of cannons of various calibers were raised high, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed in the direction of the positions of the devils.
The commanders of the artillery battalions reported to the regimental headquarters on the walkie-talkies that the artillery positions had been prepared and could be fired at any time.
In the command headquarters, Li Yunlong gave an order with a calm expression:
"Give me the order, open the gun!"
After giving the order, Li Yunlong walked quickly to the front of the headquarters and looked in the direction of the Japanese position through the field of vision of the scissor artillery mirror.
The headquarters of the new regiment also moved forward, about 2 kilometers from the forward positions of the Japanese army.
"The regiment commander ordered, open fire!"
Wang Dehou put down the phone of the walkie-talkie in his hand, and then walked quickly to Li Yunlong's side.
Not long after the regimental headquarters gave the order, a huge tom-tom sound was heard from the artillery positions.
Boom boom...
Soon, a group of fierce shells flew straight to the Japanese artillery position, and one by one fell on the position of the devils, and the violent explosions rose and flowed endlessly.
Since they knew that there was no one on the surface position of the devils, the artillery units of the new regiment did not conduct a test firing in advance, but used a precise method to determine the shooting elements, and directly covered the artillery fire at the devil's position.
The explosion was very effective, and the Japanese positions in front were quickly engulfed by the explosive fireball.
In a tunnel in the rear, the headquarters of the Fifth Division.
In the roaring sound of cannonballs, the entire tunnel trembled, the electric lights overhead shook wildly, and the dust that was shaken off by the shells kept falling.
"At least 500 cannons on the Dirt Eight Road!"
Hamashima Yanlang's face was solemn, but Matsui Taijiuro said expressionlessly:
"And a lot of them are calibers of more than 105 mm, and there are quite a few cannons of 150 mm and 200 mm calibers."
In the eyes of Matsui Taikuro, who has experienced being beaten by a new group, this is not a big scene.
The night before yesterday, it was a really big scene, hundreds of aerial bombs, dozens of powerful incendiary bombs fell, like purgatory on earth, easily harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers.
And in this wave of artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese soldiers hid in the tunnel, and the shells of the Eighth Route Army could not explode at all.
"The new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is so rich!?"
Listening to Matsui Taikuro's analysis and feeling the booming and continuous artillery fire, Hamashima Yanlang's face became even more solemn.
A mere regiment was equipped with more than 500 cannons, and many of them were large-caliber heavy artillery.
According to the establishment of the Japanese army, this is the establishment of at least 4 artillery divisions.
The artillery establishment of the Japanese army is only a heavy artillery brigade at the highest, and there are only a few artillery brigades in the entire Japanese army.
The 5th Division is the Japanese Army's A Division and Standing Division, which enjoys the best equipment and personnel replenishment of the Japanese Army, and the 5th Division has been reorganized into a mechanized division.
But compared with the new regiment, the fifth division is simply the difference between Hanako and the rich.
You told me that this is called the Dirt Eight Road?
So what are the locust armies?
The Locust Army?
Hamashima Yanlang was a little lucky, fortunately he adopted the tunnel tactics, otherwise with the previous civil fortification defense tactics, the 500 cannons of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army alone would have suffered heavy losses from the 500 cannons of the Eighth Route Army.
The devils of the division headquarters also fell silent in unison.
Which imperial division can beat the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the case of a field battle?
In ten minutes at most, the entire field fortifications and mine formations in front of the positions will be destroyed by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army.
"Wait until the shelling is over."
Matsui Taijiulang's face was calm:
"Send death squads into positions at once."
In addition to heavy artillery and aircraft, the Eighth Route Army also had heavy tanks in the eyes of the devils, and the devils' 37 and 47 mm guns could not destroy their frontal armor, let alone 20 mm anti-tank guns.
But.
In order to deal with the heavy tanks of the Eighth Route Army, the First Army prepared Type 4 anti-tank piercing mines for the devils of the Fifth Division.
In Matsui Taro's view, the tactics of the Eighth Route Army are nothing commendable, and it is better to learn the tactics of the Locust Army.
After the artillery bombardment, the infantry and tank crews charged, and the infantry and tank crews finished the artillery bombardment.
But even this simple tactic was difficult for the Japanese army to parry, and Matsui Taikuro didn't know if the Type 4 anti-tank piercing mine could play a role.
"Hey!"
All the devil officers bowed their heads in unison, their faces fierce.
Almost all of the people who can enter the Fifth Division are fanatics, and they are officers, and the attributes of bushido and loyalty to the locusts are full, and seeing that the division commander did not panic at all, the devil officers quickly regained their morale.
……
The shelling of the new regiment lasted only 15 minutes before it ended, and the entire field civil fortifications on the surface of the Japanese army were directly destroyed.
Even the front of the devil's position was ploughed by the artillery using the tactics of the barrage of Xu Jin.
to prevent the attacking infantry from stepping on mines.
But that wasn't the end of it, not long after the new artillery fire ended, the sky buzzed again.
When the devil death squad who had just drilled out of the tunnel heard this sound, their faces changed drastically and they turned around and drilled back into the tunnel.
Dozens of black dots rushed towards the devil's position from high altitude at extremely high speed.
Boom boom...
The planes of the new regiment dropped a large area of aerial bombs, which fell in a scattered manner on the positions of the devils.
With the earth-shattering roar, the position where the devil had just been ploughed turned into a sea of fire in an instant.
In the headquarters of the new regiment, looking at the very spectacular scene of a sea of fire in front of him, Li Yunlong was comfortable and smiled with satisfaction.
Looking at the firepower in front of him, Grand Master Li felt that his phobia of insufficient firepower had finally been healed for the most part, but he had not yet recovered.
Although the firepower in front of him is already very strong, and it is also first-class in the European battlefield, Li Yunlong always feels that it is almost meaningless.
I don't know what the power of the mushroom egg Boss Chen said?
Can you cure my phobia of lack of firepower?
Li Yunlong suddenly remembered a kind of mushroom egg mentioned by Boss Chen.
