"Our three-plate axe is finished, send infantry and tank troops to carry out a tentative attack!"

After artillery salvos and aircraft aerial bombs took turns to appear, Li Yunlong finally sent infantry and tanks.

Li Yunlong wanted to take a look at the success of the devil in learning the tunnel tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

In front of the positions of the devils, a lot of minefields were deployed, anti-infantry and anti-tank mines, and even a small number of anti-tank cones.

However, in the shelling just now, the artillery of the new regiment had already plowed the Devil's minefield and anti-tank cones in front of the Devil's position.

Not much else, there are a lot of shells in the new regiment.

As soon as the order of the regimental headquarters was issued, the infantry and tanks of the new regiment immediately moved from the attacking position to the position of the devils.

Although this time it was only a tentative attack.

But the new regiment still threw 3,000 infantry and 1 battalion of tanks.

Attack towards the five devil pit positions.

More than 60 Leopard tanks and Xiafei tanks guided the infantry and killed the devil's position with murderous spirit.

After the aerial bombs and artillery shelling were over, the devil soldiers came out of the tunnels and entered the positions that had been blown into ruins.

The devils set up their guns in the direction of the Eighth Route Army, pulled the bolts, and aimed at the Eighth Route Army 300 meters ahead.

But.

The formation of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army was very spread, and they were all coquettish, and they ran from bunker to bunker, and many of them hid behind the tanks.

The devil is ready to put the Eighth Route Army closer and fight again.

But it can't be too close, because if it is too close, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army will be able to attack the Japanese position in an instant.

There were soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who stepped on mines that were not blown off by shells, and there were also tanks that pressed into anti-tank mines and their tracks were blown off.

But the rest of the tanks and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army looked calm as usual and continued to attack.

There were hygienists to rescue the wounded.

At a distance of 100 meters from the forward position of the devils, the devils finally opened fire.

The gunfire rang out like popping beans, and suddenly many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army couldn't dodge and fell in a pool of blood.

The tank guns and tank machine guns of the new regiment at the front of the front began to work as they advanced.

The new infantry of the Eighth Route Army in the rear looked for cover and fired at the devil infantry.

The dense firepower suppressed the machine gun fire point of the devils throughout the whole process.

On the anti-slope of the mountain, the mortars, infantry guns, and mountain artillery of the devils also began to operate, and dense blast waves rose in the attack troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The tank was parked at a distance of 100 meters from the forward positions of the devils.

Then, the artillery observers of the new regiment of the infantry, which were followed by them, immediately guided the 75-mm and 105-mm artillery groups in the rear and shelled the positions of the devils.

At this distance, artillery observers did not dare to call 150-mm batteries, 203-mm batteries and Katyusha rocket artillery groups.

Because of the great power of these three cannons, there is a great possibility of accidentally injuring your own soldiers.

Even a 75-mm gun group and a 105-mm gun group are dangerous at this distance. Even the devils of the A Seed Division would not dare to play like this easily.

However, at this time, the new artillery regiment and artillery observers had already been reborn and became the top artillery unit in the world at present.

The quality of the artillery is excellent, the technology is excellent, and all kinds of precision guidance and artillery fire are perfect.

After several test firings, artillery observers ordered 75-mm and 105-mm artillery groups to fire salvos.

A dense blast wave rose on the devil's position, and the devil's death squad that entered the position was immediately killed and wounded.

At this time, the devil death squad was shooting at the Eighth Route Army from the position, and it happened to be blown up.

Although the artillery positions on the anti-slope of the devils were firing artillery at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were attacking, it was obvious that the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army was stronger.

Even if the devil is hiding in the bunker, the casualties of the devil are not small.

After about 20 minutes, the tentative attack of the new regiment ended, and the tanks and infantry retreated with the wounded.

As soon as the infantry and tank units of the new regiment withdrew to a distance of 200 meters from the forward position of the devils, the 105-mm howitzers, 150-mm howitzers, and Katyusha rocket artillery groups of the new regiment opened fire simultaneously at the positions of the devils.

Large-caliber artillery shells and rockets fell into the devil's position like meteors, completely enveloping the devil's surface position in the smoke of artillery fire.

Some of the devils who were rescuing the casualties and the devils who didn't have time to enter the tunnel were blown up in an instant.

In a wave of tentative attacks, the casualties on both sides were not small, and most of the casualties on both sides came from the artillery fire of the other side.

……

"The devil's tunnel tactics have actually been learned seven or eight percent?"

In the headquarters of the new regiment, Li Yunlong's brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt that this battle was a little tricky.

The devil not only learned the pit tactics, but also the anti-slope tactics.

The infantry shot the infantry of the Eighth Route Army in the fortifications constructed in the inclined position, and the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

Artillery shelled the attacking infantry of the Eighth Route Army on the anti-slope, as well as tank units.

Isn't this the tactic of the new regiment at the beginning?

Merely......

At present, the tactics of the devils are not mature, the shelling effect of the anti-slope artillery is average, and when the Eighth Route Army retreated, some of the devils' infantry did not retreat into the tunnel in time.

But as the battle progresses, the devil's use of tunnel tactics will definitely become more proficient.

Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou on the side also looked surprised.

The devil's use of pit and anticline tactics has to be said to be something.

In the tentative attack just now, the fighters of the new regiment, under the guidance of artillery fire and tanks, will definitely be able to attack the position of the devils.

But after attacking the position of the devils, the tanks and infantry will be greeted by white-knuckle combat.

The devil is in the tunnel, and there must be a death squad hidden.

According to the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance plane, the devils built a lot of anticline planes and tunnel fortifications like this on the way to Taiyuan.

The tunnels built by the devils are relatively deep, and most of the new fire-breathing tanks and flamethrowers will not work.

Wang Dehou's eyes flashed, looked at Li Yunlong, and suggested: "Regiment leader, since we are attacking head-on, it is difficult to capture the devil's position, why don't we go to the goblet?" ”

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and nodded: "Lao Li, didn't you say that the mule is a horse, pull it out for a walk, I think you can pull out the goblet for a walk, just try the power of this new type of aerial bomb." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, goblet aerial bombs will be used sooner or later..."

Li Yunlong first thought about it, and then his eyes narrowed and said:

"Since the devil's artillery is arranged in the anticline position, then we will dispatch bombers and fighters, and when the devil fires the artillery, the artillery position of the devil's anticline will be blown up, so that the battle will be much easier!"

Whether to use this goblet bomb now, Li Yunlong also thought about it.

If this goblet is extremely powerful and can kill a large number of devils in the tunnel, then the devils in other tunnels will definitely be extremely fearful.

Although the tunnel tactics have been cracked, it will also drive the devils from other tunnels into Taiyuan City.

At that time, tens of thousands of devils fought with the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan City, and the casualties of the Eighth Route Army would be large.

As the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Li Yunlong had to do everything he could to reduce the casualties of the Eighth Route Army.

So before using the goblet aerial bomb, Li Yunlong wanted to see if he could crack the tunnel and anticline tactics.

Li Yunlong issued the operational deployment: "The second attack, after our planes take off from the airport first, the artillery group immediately began to shell, when there is still a 10-minute flight from us, the shelling is over, the infantry and artillery press up, attract the artillery fire of the devil's anticline position, and the plane will give Lao Tzu a special bombardment of the devil's artillery position." ”

The artillery fire of the new regiment could not reach the artillery positions of the devils.

But it's not a big problem.

Li Yunlong still has planes.

……

The headquarters of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army.

The commander of the Fifth Division, Matsui Taikuro, the chief of staff, Hamashima Yoshiro, and a number of operational staff officers were also making a battle summary.

"This tunnel and anti-cline tactics are indeed powerful..."

Chief of Staff Hamashima Yanlang sighed with emotion, and actually blocked the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

Matsui Taikuro and the other combat staff officers nodded in agreement.

Even if the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division is first-class, in the face of the heavy firepower of the aircraft, heavy artillery and tanks of the Eighth Route Army, the spirit of bushido will definitely be ruthlessly crushed.

Fortunately, the tunnel carried the aerial bombs and heavy artillery shells of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

"The Eighth Route Army will definitely organize the next wave of offensives."

Matsui Taikuro looked calm:

"In this attack, the Eighth Route Army will definitely send planes to bombard our artillery positions on the anticline."

"On my orders, all artillery and artillery will go into the tunnel and hide."

Hamashima Yanlang was slightly surprised: "Your Excellency the division commander, if there is no artillery fire support on the anti-slope plane, what should the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army do if they attack the position?" ”

Matsui Taijiuro smiled slightly: "This is what I want, this time the Eighth Route Army attacked, I want to put the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army into the position of white-knuckle combat." ”

In this wave, Matsui Taijiulang predicted Li Yunlong's prediction.

can be the division commander of the Fifth Division, Matsui Taikuro is naturally not an ordinary person, and even very capable.

Hamashima Yanlang suddenly realized that the division commander's hand not only preserved the artillery unit, but also narrowed the weapon gap with the Eighth Route Army in the white-knuckle battle.

And the soldiers of the 5th Division are absolutely first-class in white-knuckle combat.

Moreover, putting the tanks of the Eighth Route Army into the position also happened to give the Type 4 anti-tank piercing mines a room to play.

"Hey!"

Hamashima shook his head.

……

More than two hours later.

The 40 planes of the new regiment flight group took off from the airfield northwest of Shanxi.

The artillery groups of the new regiment immediately began to fire at the positions of the devils.

All kinds of large-caliber and small-caliber shells fell on the positions of the devils, and a roaring explosion erupted.

The airfield of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi was about 200 kilometers from the front line, and fighters and bombers arrived less than half an hour after takeoff.

As the planes were about to arrive at the battlefield, the artillery immediately stopped firing, and the infantry and tank crews lined up in battle formation to attack the devil's position.

But this time the attack was beyond Li Yunlong's expectations.

The infantry and tank crews were almost 50 meters away from the front line of the devils, and the devil artillery in the anti-slope positions did not open fire.
