Chapter 993: Overwhelming Dominance and Barbecue!
Shimen City.
In a civil fortification, Sun Liangcheng, commander of the Second Front Army of the puppet army, and a group of high-ranking officers of the puppet army, looked at the battlefield with binoculars.
This civil fortification is connected to the underground anti-artillery holes.
The fortifications of the ring fort were constructed of civil and concrete, which could withstand the shelling of the 105-mm howitzers of the Eighth Route Army.
And the underground anti-artillery hole can withstand the shelling of the 150-mm howitzers of the Eighth Route Army.
The Devil's Engineer Wing built a large number of such civil forts and anti-artillery holes in Shimen City and Zhengding area.
Originally, the devil's plan was to put the puppet army in the front line and deep fortifications to resist the aerial bombs and heavy artillery bombs of the Eighth Route Army.
But.
After the large army of devils retreated, the remaining devils and the elite of the puppet army all entered the fortifications and anti-artillery holes.
Some unpopular puppet army units were placed in defensive positions.
At this time.
In the fortifications of the civil engineering ring fort, Sun Liangcheng, a traitor wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, put down the binoculars in his hand, his face was solemn and his expression was calm.
But Sun Liangcheng's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface, and he was already extremely frightened in his heart.
If it weren't for the war supervisor sent by the devil here, in the face of the bombing of aircraft and heavy artillery shells of this level of the Eighth Route Army, he would have fled with his troops a long time ago, or directly joined the Eighth Route Army.
In another time and space, the traitor Sun Liangcheng is such a capricious villain.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was recruited by President Chang, led his troops to join the Communist Party in the War of Liberation, and then fled to Shanghai under the pretense of persuading Liu Ruming's troops to surrender.
His troops had always been stationed in the Kaifeng area, and the true strength of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army was not known.
I only heard that the Eighth Route Army was very powerful, destroying the First Army and inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese North China Front.
But he didn't expect it to be so powerful, he hadn't seen the figure of the Eighth Route Army yet, and the Eighth Route Army first came with a wave of aerial bombs to wash the ground, and the shelling lasted for a whole hour!
Who can withstand this?
No wonder the locust armies of the 11th, 40th and 56th divisions want to run.
"Commander, according to the information from Jingcheng County, the Eighth Route Army has assembled more than a few hundred heavy tanks and hundreds of new heavy artillery pieces at least near Jingcheng County."
The intelligence staff officer glanced at the command center, with a cold expression, cold eyes, and a katana, and came to supervise the battle of the locust army Shaozo, and then reported to Sun Liangcheng.
The good news is that this locust army Shaozo can't understand Chinese.
"How many exactly?"
Sun Liangcheng's face remained unchanged, but his heart sank suddenly.
"It's not clear... Even the Locust Army lacks specific information, but according to the information on the Locust Army's side, it is speculated that the Eighth Route Army's heavy tanks and new heavy artillery are no less than 300. ”
"In addition, before a friend of mine from the Locust Army left with the large army, he secretly told me that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was interspersed with infiltration."
"It won't be long before the Eighth Route Army can completely encircle Shimen City and Zhengding County."
As soon as the intelligence staff officer's voice fell, there was a gasping sound in the headquarters, and several staff officers couldn't hold back on the spot, and their faces changed in unison.
Even the corners of Sun Liangcheng's eyes couldn't help but jump wildly.
More than 300 heavy tanks and 300 heavy guns!
Although the Second Front Army of the puppet army also has a few old-fashioned tanks and dozens of old-fashioned mountain artillery, there is no problem with following the Japanese army to bully the Eighth Route Army in Shandong and the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei.
But in the face of the 300 tanks and 300 heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army, they will be crushed to pieces at any time.
This is a dimensionality reduction blow in strength, which cannot be compensated for by courage and tactics.
What's more, although the puppet army under him has strong combat effectiveness and is the elite unit of the puppet army, it is okay to follow the locust army to fight a tailwind battle, but this kind of big headwind battle is afraid that it will soon be defeated by the Eighth Route Army.
When the time came, he Sun Liangcheng was either shot or reduced to a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army, and then shot by a public trial.
"Why, why did you tell me about such an important matter now?"
Sun Liangcheng couldn't hold back any longer, and slapped his backhand on the face of the intelligence staff officer.
"Commander, I..."
Sun Liangcheng used enough strength to slap him, and the intelligence staff officer covered his face, and was about to explain, when the devil Shaozuo suddenly stood up and scolded: "Baga! ”
Sun Liangcheng snorted coldly, turned his face away, and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.
The Eighth Route Army wanted to encircle Shimen City and Zhengding, and the intelligence staff officer didn't report it, he really wanted to shoot the intelligence staff officer.
"How long has the Eighth Route Army been shelling?"
Sun Liangcheng turned his head to look at a puppet army combat staff officer beside him.
"Report to the commander, the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army has been shelling us for 50 minutes!"
The combat staff officer replied with a solemn expression.
"More than 100 mountain guns, 200 new heavy guns, and hundreds of 82mm mortars!"
The tone and expression of the artillery staff officer on the side were very solemn.
The puppet army officers at the headquarters were all stunned.
With this level of shelling, I am afraid that on the infantry position, even snakes and rats will be killed by the shells of the Eighth Route Army.
"Where did the Eighth Route Army get so many heavy artillery and shells?"
Sun Liangcheng didn't understand it, and it was difficult to accept it.
I knew that the Eighth Route Army had this strength, why did Lao Tzu vote for the Japanese, isn't it fragrant to vote for the Eighth Route Army?
But now, if you want to join the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army will not agree, and these locust armies who supervise the battle may not agree.
10 minutes later, the cannon sound of the Eighth Route Army gradually became sparse, and Shaozuo, the devil who supervised the battle, stood up suddenly, with a fierce expression, and said something in a hurry.
The fat translator on the side said to Sun Liangcheng:
"The Eighth Route Army is about to start attacking, and the Locust Army orders you to immediately enter the defensive position with the Locust Army and prepare to deal with the attack of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Hey!"
Sun Liangcheng suddenly bowed his head to the devil, and then ordered:
"Pass my order, all the locust alliance troops immediately enter the position with the locust army, and wipe out all the attacking Eighth Route Army!"
When he turned around, Sun Liangcheng quietly gave a combat staff officer a look.
The combat staff officer understood in seconds, responded with his eyes, turned around and gave orders, and quietly arranged manpower and escape routes.
With the order of the headquarters, the devils and puppet soldiers came out of the anti-artillery holes one after another and entered the defensive positions.
By this time, however, the defensive positions had been plowed several times by artillery shells and aerial bombs, and most of the previously constructed foxholes, trenches, and civil fortifications had been blown up and replaced by huge craters.
Even the area of the anti-tank cones built by the devils out of concrete was plowed by shells.
As soon as the devils and the puppet soldiers entered the position and set up all kinds of light and heavy machine guns and rifles, they were horrified to find that the ground began to shake slightly.
"What's going on?"
There was a panicked cry of the puppet army.
"It's the tank of the Eighth Route Army!"
A puppet army company commander looked at a devil beside him who was holding a Type 4 anti-tank piercing mine, and said loudly:
"Don't panic, the locust army has anti-tank weapons!"
This puppet army company commander had also fought devils before, and he had fought with devils' tanks on the battlefield, but later surrendered with Sun Liangcheng.
And those who were unwilling to surrender, either fled or were liquidated.
The puppet army suddenly calmed down, clenched the steel gun in their hands, and stared straight ahead with bated breath.
In the smoke of gunpowder, the devils and the puppet army saw dozens of tanks approaching them.
Behind the tank, followed by a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
As soon as the devil and the puppet army saw it, they knew that this group of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army was the elite of the elite, and a sense of oppression called murderous spirit almost turned into a substance, rushing towards the devil and the puppet army.
The results of the new regiment's excellent training in peacetime operations with large corps operations have been fully demonstrated.
During the attack, the company commander, platoon commander and squad leader of the new regiment performed their duties, maintained the stability of the offensive formation, followed the tank and advanced in a scattered line.
The offensive formation of thousands of Eighth Route Army, like waves, swept towards the position of the devil puppet army.
There are timid puppet soldiers, and they were frightened by this formation on the spot.
I was really scared to pee, my pants were wet, and even the dirt under my crotch was soaked.
Not only the timid puppet army, but even the devil recruits of the 40th and 56th divisions who went to the battlefield for the first time were so frightened that they peed their pants.
However, the vast majority of devil soldiers are still hideous-looking, ready to be loyal to the locusts at any time.
"Tom, tom, tom..."
Mortars, infantry guns, and grenadiers of the Devil's puppet army opened fire, and shells continued to explode between the offensive formations of the Eighth Route Army, setting off mud and mist.
From time to time, the soldiers of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army were hit by shrapnel and fell down with a muffled grunt.
However, the mortars, infantry guns and grenadiers of the devil's puppet army are not very powerful, and the explosion power cannot be compared with 122mm howitzers.
Coupled with the fact that the offensive formation of the troops was very spread out, the casualties of the new regiment of fighters were not large.
Meantime.
The 60-mm mortars and 82-mm mortars of the new regiment in the rear began to return fire in the direction of the artillery positions of the devils.
"Da Da Da..."
Seeing the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army approaching, the rifles, light machine guns and heavy machine guns of the devils and the puppet army opened fire, and the gunshots like bursting beans rang out.
As the tank approached, the 75-mm tank gun and M2 heavy machine gun opened fire.
The advantages of a large number of live-fire training in tank units were vividly displayed at this time.
And the devil lacks anti-tank weapons, and even a 47-mm anti-tank gun cannot penetrate the armor of a new group of tanks.
The light machine guns and heavy machine guns of the devil puppet army were like targets in front of the tank gunners of the new regiment.
The M2 heavy machine gun suppressed fire, and the 75 anti-tank gun fired non-stop, almost one shot.
"Yaga, fire a gas bomb!"
Seeing this, the devil commander immediately ordered his troops to fire poison gas bombs.
"Tom tom tom..."
After a muffled sound, the poison gas bomb swept through a graceful arc in the air, fell into the formation of the Eighth Route Army and exploded, and some yellow, green, and red poisonous gases spread rapidly among the offensive formations of the Eighth Route Army.
However, it is of no avail.
The infantry and tank soldiers kept their faces unchanged and skillfully removed the high-performance gas masks they carried with them and put them on their faces.
The devil's gas offensive was fruitless.
By the time the tanks of the new regiment arrived at the forward position of the Devil Puppet Army, the firepower points of the Devil Puppet Army were almost completely removed.
"Onboard!"
At this moment, the devil soldiers hiding in the trenches and bomb craters pretending to be dead, armed with Type 4 anti-tank piercing mines or holding explosives, launched a decisive charge against the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.
"Da Da Da..."
Dense five or six submachine guns rang out, and the devils who charged to the death were beaten into blood sieves almost in a few seconds.
Seeing this, the devils armed with explosives and anti-tank piercing mines quickly retracted into the trenches or shell craters and pretended to be dead, preparing to suddenly attack when the tanks of the Eighth Route Army passed by.
And those puppet soldiers who have not yet died have already shrunk in the trenches and trembling, ready to wait for the Eighth Route Army to come over, directly raise their hands to surrender or simply pretend to be dead.
The devils are all trying to fight to the death and take away a few eight-way before they die, while the puppet army just wants to live.
If it weren't for the presence of the Devil Governor Clan, the moment they saw the heavy tanks of the Eighth Route Army, this group of puppet troops would have collapsed.
It's a pity that the devils have a beautiful idea, but the reality is cruel.
At a distance of more than ten meters from the forward position, all the tanks of the Eighth Route Army stopped in unison.
Behind the tank, rows of flamethrowers of the Eighth Route Army wearing gas masks and carrying M2 flamethrowers appeared on their backs.
The M2 flamethrower on the backs of the fighters is already an upgraded version of the system, and the weight has not been reduced, but the flame shoots farther, lasts longer, and makes a higher use of napalm.
Each flamethrower was protected by two or three fighters armed with Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and Type 56 submachine guns to prevent the devil puppet army from sneaking up.
These new flamethrowers quickly stepped forward, came to the top of the forward position of the devil puppet army, opened the safe, and then did not hesitate to face the trench of the forward position, and pulled the trigger of the flamethrower.
Flames erupted like fire dragons towards the trenches of the devil puppet army!
and sweeping back and forth left and right.
"Ah!!h
The next moment, countless Japanese-style screams and pseudo-screams were heard from the trenches.
The devils who pretended to be dead and prepared to attack the tank, and the puppet army who pretended to be dead and prepared to surrender, were burned in an instant.
The devils and puppet soldiers covered in flames rolled in the trenches and wailed in pain.
This kind of pain that burns into the bone marrow and even the soul is burned, and few human beings can bear it.
"Sine!" The devil with flames wrapped in his body shouted loudly, rushed out of the trench and wanted to die with the Eighth Route Army, but was beaten into a sieve in an instant.
When the puppet troops in the rear positions saw this scene, they were stupid on the spot.
"Mother!"
The puppet army, which didn't want to be burned to death, collapsed on the spot, and even if there were devils, they just turned their heads and ran wildly.
As a puppet army took the lead in escaping, more and more puppet armies collapsed, and the soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and they slipped away.
But on the way to escape from the puppet army, the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Min2 quadruple machine gun of the Devil Puppet Army Supervision Team had already been set up.
"Da Da Da..."
The sound of heavy machine gun fire rang out like bursting beans, and the puppet soldiers fell one by one on the way to escape.
It was not that the Eighth Route Army did not accept the surrender of the puppet army.
Instead, the devil hid among the puppet army, and when the tanks of the Eighth Route Army passed by, they attacked the tanks of the Eighth Route Army with anti-tank weapons.
War is so cruel, these soldiers have fought devils before, but since they surrendered to devils, they have to bear the corresponding price!
The Pyro cleared the trenches of the forward positions of the Devil Puppet Army, and the tanks continued to attack the deep positions of the Devil Puppet Army under the cover of infantry and Flamethrowers.
