If viewed from the air, the 33rd Division formed a zigzag layout in the small town of Pawabi, where the 213th Wing was in front of the left and the 214th Wing was in front of the right, arranging the three brigades in a pincer position, with the artillery squadron leaning against the tail.

The 215th Wing was in front of the Mountain Artillery Wing and the Heavy Artillery Wing in a flat formation, and it was only 2 or 3 kilometers away from the 213th Wing and the 214th Wing, and the Chariot Wing was sandwiched between the three brigades, forming a three-way chariot column ready to attack.

In view of the strength of the enemy and the possibility of night fighting, Sakurai and Anteng Nobunaga ordered the troops to be in a state of battle unfolding, that is, once they received the order, the little devils could turn over and fight at any time.

If it is faced with a normal allied force, the deployment of the 33rd Division can be described as leaky, even if the elite division of the US army comes over, it will not take any advantage.

But Gao Jianwu is not an ordinary person.

......

The main artillery of 2 155-mm heavy artillery regiments and 2 105-mm heavy artillery regiments were all transferred to the Mitiera front, and 48 M1 155-mm howitzers and 72 M2A1 105-mm howitzers were divided into 4 different artillery positions, covering all the Pawabi imps.

According to the latest intelligence information, Gao Jianwu's artillery position is stuck 12 kilometers away from the little devil's artillery position, which is just where they can't reach, although the range of the M2A1 105mm howitzer is also comparable to the little devil's 150mm howitzer, but the M1 155mm howitzer is as high as more than 14 kilometers, which is enough to wipe them out.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, after the various departments reported that the movement was in place, Gao Jianwu gave an order, and the artillery immediately opened full fire!

The 75-mm artillery battalions of the three major attack groups and the four heavy artillery regiments opened fire at the same time in accordance with the strike coordinate range provided by Gao Jianwu, and for a time nearly 200 Spitfire meteors in the sky directly smashed into the camp of the 33rd Division.

Soon, the observation post lurking near the enemy camp fed back the landing point of the shells to the command headquarters, which was summarized in Gao Jianwu's hands, most of the shells hit the target range, and only a small part of the shells, after Gao Jianwu made a slight revision of the coordinates, readjusted the shelling Zhuyuan, and immediately put it into the second round of artillery bombardment.

Sakurai and Anten Nobunaga were awakened by the sound of artillery at the same time, and their headquarters leaned on the headquarters of the 215th Wing, just in time to see that the artillery position had been bombarded into a sea of fire by hundreds of cannons!

"How is this possible?" Sakurai Shozo's face was full of disbelief, he accurately found his main artillery position in the first round, and he could also strike accurately, which completely subverted Sakurai Shozo's common sense in the past.

"Sakurai-kun, I've read the battle report, the enemy does have an extraordinary ability to command artillery bombardment in Jindi, but we think that the person who reported from the front line is a little exaggerated to reduce his guilt, now it seems that the enemy is indeed very strong in artillery, and knows our position and deployment well, now we can only transfer and let the chariot wing rush out to find the enemy's artillery position and annihilate it is the only chance to win!"

[In view of the general environment, Anten Nobunaga looked at the huge losses of his side, and his brain was also buzzing, but now is not the time to explore this, he must react before the enemy completely destroys his artillery, on the one hand, to save his own artillery, and on the other hand, to destroy the opponent's artillery. ….

The chariot wing is their biggest killer weapon, and at the first order, the chariot wing will rumble out! Went in the direction of the artillery firing of the expeditionary force.

Although there are a bit of many artillery positions in this direction of the enemy, the tank wing directly chose the direction of the artillery positions of two 115-mm heavy artillery regiments and divided into two columns for a rapid assault.

With a simple calculation of the trajectory of the shells in the sky, the little devil has roughly estimated that the heavy artillery group of the expeditionary force is about 10 kilometers away, and the direction is also quite clear, and at the speed of the Type 97 medium tank, it will only take about 20 minutes to find these heavy artillery!

As soon as the enemy moved, the observation posts lurking in the nearby jungle spotted their movements and immediately reported them upward.

"Dong Qi called the tank regiment, Sun Desheng, your work is here!" Gao Jianwu smiled, he had expected it a long time ago, he would keep the 2 tank battalions still, just wait

With the opposing little devil, this chariot wing.

At this moment, the commander of the two tank battalions is Sun Desheng, the former cavalry battalion commander of the Ping'an Independent Regiment, because of the flapping of the wings of Gao Jianwu, the butterfly, Lao Sun was fine in the anti-sweeping battle last year, and he also made a cavalry battalion with the support of Gao Jianwu.

When the news came out that Gao Jianwu was going to send someone to learn to drive the T34 tank, Sun Desheng found Gao Jianwu like crazy and asked to change careers to tanks.

It's just that the commander of a cavalry battalion of the main force is clamoring to be a tank soldier, which has caused controversy in the upper echelons of the independent regiment, making Li Yunlong a little big, and there is no way to call Sun Desheng over and scold him, under the mediation of Zhao Gang, Sun Desheng was able to become a member of the northbound study team, and really let him drive the tank.

Then Lao Sun was entangled in the tank like a demon, only resting for less than 6 hours a day, and the rest of the time was completely on the tank, researching, operating, repairing, and all the work followed Da Mao's coaches, even if the language was not understood, but the action was the best language.

is so studious, it is stunned to make Sun Desheng, a student in the literacy class, a leader in the tank learning army, so that Gao Jianwu can see it, and all the way from the captain of the tank study team to the tank company in Jinyang as the company commander, until he was brought to the British territory in Burma, and served as the regiment commander after the tank was formed!

"Received, Commander Gao, the brothers have been ready for a long time, this time we will let the little devil chariot wing have no return!" On the other side of the walkie-talkie, Sun Desheng, the commander of the tank regiment guarding the two 155mm howitzer positions, looked very excited.

The little devil has a chariot, how could Gao Jianwu ignore it.

According to his prediction, the most likely thing for the little devil tank is to raid the artillery position, and the 155-mm heavy artillery position with the most lethality is obviously their first choice of target, so Gao Jianwu deployed two tank battalions there in advance.

Sure enough, the little devil thought of this as soon as he was beaten.

They also knew that the artillery duel was not an opponent of the other side at all, so they used the chariot as a raid force.

Of course, they also know that it is impossible for Gao Jianwu to hide such a big thing, but whether it is the division commander Sakurai Shozo or the chief of staff Anteng Nobunaga, they still underestimate the tank troops of the expeditionary force cluster. ….

A tank is not a rifle, and it can be relatively proficient in two months of training, and if you want to hit the opponent in the tank march, this kind of elite tank group is by no means a simple two or three months that can be trained.

Their own tank group, which one is not several years of combat and training experience, so even if the Type 97 tank on their side is inferior to the opponent's Sherman tank, Sakurai and Anten Nobunaga still believe in their own tank wing.

And the adversary does not necessarily deploy tanks on artillery positions yet.

But this time they were doomed to miscalculate.

As a scout who observed the periphery of the heavy artillery position, he reported the dynamics of the little devil chariot wing in real time, so that Sun Desheng knew every move of the little devil well.

The little devil artillery observers are indeed very experienced, and the direction and distance of the heavy artillery positions of the expeditionary force they locked are less than 1 kilometer away, so that the two passers-by of the 33rd Wing of the tank hardly take any detours.

Looking at the scorching shells flying towards his camp from time to time in the sky, the commander of the 33rd Wing of the Combat Vehicle, Nobuo Ueda, was anxious, he knew how much damage each shell could cause to his troops, that kind of 155 mm heavy gun, one shot could take away all the personnel within a diameter of 200 meters.

In extreme cases, most of the squadron may be gone!

So Nobuo Ueda almost stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed towards the artillery position of the expeditionary force.

His tank wing consisted of a total of 54 tanks and 11 artillery fighting vehicles, of which 36 Type 97 medium tanks formed 3 squadrons, and 18 Type 95 light tanks formed 1 squadron, plus 1 squadron of 1-gun fighting vehicles, for a total of 5 squadrons.

He was now followed by two squadrons of medium tanks and a squadron of one-gun fighting vehicles, a total of 35 of which were heading towards a heavy artillery position in the expeditionary force cluster.

In a dense bush on the road more than a kilometer in front of him, Sun Desheng and the 30 tanks of the 1st Tank Battalion had long been quietly hidden a few hundred meters around the bushes, forming a large pocket, and at this moment the muzzle of the gun was facing the direction where the little devil was coming.

According to Gao Jianwu's deployment, if the little devil chariot wing really dares to come out, then taking advantage of our preset observation posts, the tank regiment will ambush the enemy's chariot wing on the right and left of the road to sneak attack first!

Even if the performance is superior, it is easier to win if you can sneak up on a wave.

Gao Jianwu's principle, being able to kill the little devil at the least cost is the best tactic.

Although Sun Desheng has not been out of the independent regiment for a long time, he has long been clear about Gao Jianwu's tactical thinking, and he has no idea of confronting the little devil at all.

"Attention units, the little devil tank is approaching us!

After we put all the little devil tanks into the ambush circle, after listening to my order to light up the ambush circle, remember to follow our battle plan, choose their own targets, make sure that the two of you are a group to fire one and fight one, and be sure to knock out half of the enemy tanks in the first round!" After Sun Desheng heard the rumbling sound of a tank in the distance, he turned on the walkie-talkie and issued an order.

"Yes! Head! Tank 2nd Combat Group received!"

"Tank 3rd Battlegroup received!"

.......

After a cacophony of replies came from the walkie-talkie public channel, everyone fell silent again. ….

The 30 tanks of the 1st Tank Battalion were divided into 15 groups, and Sun Desheng's side also formed a group with another Sherman tank, ambushing in front of the closest little devil, according to the deployment, he had to wait until all the little devil tanks passed in front of him before giving the order to fire with flares!

The entire ambush spread out for a distance of more than a kilometer, leaving nearly 600 meters wide in the middle of the encirclement, and if the little devil tank entered the encirclement, it would be about five or six hundred meters away from everyone at most.

Sun Desheng's Sherman tanks accepted by them, even if they were older models, were enough to inflict heavy damage on the opponent at this distance once they could hit the enemy with the 75mm main gun on it.

It's just that it is very difficult for the tank main gun to hit a moving object, and the gunner experience of the tank regiment is almost zero, and they only have to play stationary target training and towed moving target training.

The Little Devil Chariot Wing is not at all like the initial establishment of the tank regiment, they fought all the way from the mainland, and then swept through Southeast Asia, fought many Western powers, and also had some tank battles, which can be described as experienced in a hundred battles.

Under normal conditions, Sun Desheng's tank battalion would have been extremely difficult to defeat more than 30 tanks of various types led by Nobuo Ueda.

It was precisely because of this that on the side of the heavy artillery position, Gao Jianwu not only put Sun Desheng's tank battalion in front for defense, but also moved the battle defense artillery company over.

The closest to the heavy artillery position was a company of Bazooka rocket artillery.

In other words, Gao Jianwu established three defensive fronts in the heavy artillery position.

Even if Nobuo Ueda broke through the interception of Sun Desheng's tank battalion, he still had to face two interceptions of the anti-aircraft artillery and the Bazooka rocket artillery, and under these three defensive blows, Nobuo Ueda's fate was actually doomed.

The 33rd Wing of the Tank is now loaded into Sun Desheng's trap without realizing it, and Nobuo Ueda took the lead in driving a Type 97 tank into the encirclement, he never expected that the opponent's tank with superior performance would hide and ambush them so insidiously!

So seeing that the direction of the cannonball flashing in the sky was getting closer and closer to him, and the height of the cannonball was getting lower and lower, obviously he was already very close to the target, and Nobuo Ueda's heart began to boil.

"Kill, give!" Nobuo Ueda shouted at the front, but the roar of the tank limited his screams to those around him, and this one was just to vent his emotions.

The little devil chariot wing, which is not yet capable of being equipped with walkie-talkies, can only issue orders at this moment through the radio communicator on the chariot

Dispatch.

Compared with Sun Desheng's direct voice call, they are a whole generation behind in terms of communication!

One after another, the little devil tanks and chariots rumbled past in front of Sun Desheng's eyes, and when the last artillery chariot was about to enter the encirclement, Sun Desheng turned on the walkie-talkie and issued an order!

"Shoot flares, and each team will aim at your opponent and prepare to attack!" Sun Desheng shouted, and several artillery fighters who had been ambushed in the bushes immediately began to fire flares with mortars, which instantly illuminated the sky over the section of the road in the encirclement, and Ueda Nobuo was even temporarily blinded by this bright light. ….

"There is an ambush, order all the troops to disperse immediately!" Nobuo Ueda, who had adapted to the dark environment, was caught off guard, and his eyes were so flashed that he couldn't see anything, but he still subconsciously gave the order.

But at this time, their communication also needs to be transmitted by the communication personnel in the vehicle through the radio station, and the speed of the transmission of this command is naturally a little lagging behind, and the communication officer needs to translate his command into a Moore code to encrypt and publish it, and in a few minutes, other combat vehicles cannot receive it.

At this moment, several flares have illuminated the entire sky, and Nobuo Ueda's chariot wing clearly appeared in the eyes of the soldiers of Sun Desheng's first tank battalion, and the tank gunners who had long been ready to take the lead in adapting to the bright environment were quickly aiming at the little devil tanks and artillery chariots that were slowing down, and took advantage of the moment when the march of the little devil chariot wing was temporarily paused because of the light, and they opened fire decisively one by one!

On the tank commanded by Sun Desheng, the gunner also aimed at the last little devil's one-gun combat vehicle and opened fire, and at a distance of less than 400 meters, the shells almost didn't pause and exploded the artillery combat vehicle on the spot.

For a little devil artillery combat vehicle with little armor defense, it is almost as fragile as an egg in the face of a 75-mm gun.

Not only that, but a tank saw that the defense of the little devil artillery chariot was very poor, and there was no defense in the rear of the chariot, so it immediately started machine gun strafing, and the members of the artillery chariot suddenly turned into a hornet's nest and stopped!

Sun Desheng commanded the tank to turn the direction, and the gunner continued to aim at the passing little devil artillery chariot to fire a high-explosive shell, which directly hit the cannonball and caused a detonation, blowing up a cannon chariot next to it directly!

In a short period of time, Sun Desheng's tank achieved two results!

At the same time, the sound of shelling and explosions continued to sound in this bush, and the tank battalions lying in ambush on both sides of the bushes were threatening one by one, and the little devil 97 tanks were blown up one after another almost at the same time, and began to ignite raging flames!

Faintly, there was a miserable howl of the little devil!

At this moment, without waiting for the order, the remnants of the little devil's tanks and artillery fighting vehicles began to maneuver like frightened rabbits, and Sun Desheng had already started the tank and began to step on the accelerator to bite a little devil 97 tank to catch up.

Although the little devil woke up like a dream and ran away frantically, it was already a little too late.

The first battalion of tanks aimed at the enemy in a stationary state, and the first round of concentrated fire was aimed calmly, so the accuracy was amazing, and almost all of them hit the opponent, so that the main force of Nobuo Ueda's 2 tanks was reimbursed by nearly half at once!

A quick-handed warrior like Sun Desheng even killed two artillery combat vehicles!

What's even worse for the little devils is that now the enemy in ambush can see them clearly, but they don't know the specific location of the enemy at all, and they are very passive in the combat position, so they can only increase the throttle and start a serpentine maneuver to dodge.

This kind of irregular high-speed maneuver really made Sun Desheng's tank gunners hit rate drop sharply.

But even so, the first tank battalion now almost every tank catches an opponent and chases after it, the speed of the two tanks is not far apart, and it is difficult for the little devil tank to get rid of the pursuers, and in the battle, the 57 mm small water pipe gun of the Type 97 tank is against Sherman's armor, even if it hits the opponent, it may not be effective. ….

But once the Sherman 75mm gun hits the opponent, it is almost certain to get a new result, so in the melee, the little devil tank wing will soon have a few more tanks that will be beaten again!

Nobuo Ueda, who narrowly escaped in the first round of shelling, was so stunned that he didn't think about it

When the opponent was so insidious and so advantageous, he even ambushed himself, he didn't talk about martial arts, and the battle that had just begun, just a few times of knocking down the stick, his chariot troops lost most of them, so that Sun Desheng quickly achieved a huge advantage of 2 to 1!

With a huge advantage in the number and quality of tanks, Sun Desheng's 1st Tank Battalion used convenient walkie-talkie real-time communication to beat up the opponent through 2 to 1 set fire in a group through 2 to 1 set of fire, and finally completely annihilated the tank brigade led by Nobuo Ueda at the cost of 3 tanks being wounded and lying down.

Including killing Nobuo Ueda on the spot!

Due to the timely retreat of the crew members on the wounded tank, this battle tank crew member was almost unscathed!

Almost at the same time, near the heavy artillery position on the other side, another tank brigade composed of 1 Type 95 light tank and 1 Type 97 medium tank was ambushed by the 2nd Tank Battalion, and finally only escaped a few Type 95 light tanks.

The 2nd Tank Battalion adopted almost the same tactics as the 1st Tank Battalion, except that the Type 95 light tank was much more mobile, allowing the little devils to seize the opportunity to escape in the darkness after the flares disappeared.

However, these fish that slipped through the net were completely out of the box for the tank regiment.

In this ambush battle, in the end, in terms of battle damage, the 2nd Tank Battalion lost 5 tanks, which were also wounded by the enemy, and the crew members successfully escaped.

After Gao Jianwu received the news of the tank regiment's victory, he immediately ordered them to go to the battlefield and prepare to attack the positions of the 213th and 214th Wings of the little devils in front of them together with the first and second attack groups!

This time, Gao Jianwu is ready to let the little devil taste the power of Butan coordination on the basis of infantry and artillery coordination!

......

The enemy's endless fierce artillery fire, every time it hit the key points on his position, Sakurai Shozo realized the desperate psychology of the 15th and 22nd Divisions at the beginning, even if he ordered the regrouping of troops for transfer, but whenever the team was just assembled, it always attracted a fierce artillery bombardment.

Either 75-mm howitzers or 105-mm howitzers, it's like the enemy has a pair of eyes on them all the time. No one knows why, in the dark of the night, the opponent's shelling could be so precise.

But the speed at which one squadron after another fell, and the bad news that Sakurai kept receiving, let him know that under the enemy's shelling, the 33rd Division suffered very heavy casualties.

The enemy's artillery is like having precision guidance, achieving the effect of pointing where to hit and where to hit.

Not only that, but after Sakurai received the news that the tank wing was almost completely wiped out, the enemy's tanks appeared at the front of the positions of the 213th and 214th wings, and according to the reports of Sakuma Kii Daizo and Miyakyo Kosuke Daizo, no less than 20 Sherman tanks had been found in their presence!

And behind the tanks, it was the infantry of the brigade that followed the tank in the charge.

The simple and crisp tactics of the enemy are almost insoluble for the two infantry wings without fortifications in the field, and the machine guns have almost no effect on the tank, but once the tank is aimed at the machine gun fire, it often takes away a machine gun group with one shot!

This state of affairs made the commanders of the 213th and 214th Wings almost go berserk.

And when they mobilized artillery to come over and prepare to hit the tanks, the shells in the sky often fell before the artillery could start fighting!

The enemy's infantry artillery and infantry tan coordination are almost unsolvable tactics for Sakurai Shozo.

The battle lasted for more than three hours, and the 33rd Division, which had suffered huge casualties, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and Sakurai finally ordered the whole army to disperse and move in!

They didn't even dare to regroup and retreat.

To put it bluntly, the right army of the 33rd Division is completely dissolved!.

Cloud empty rows
