469, capture of Dolon

Savannah, near Duolun.

A small group of cavalry of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the Japanese invaders.

They are here to lure the enemy.

The trap has been deployed, just waiting for the Japanese to take the bait.

"Eight Ways!"

"Eight Ways!"

The Japanese immediately raised the alarm.

Immediately, a large number of Japanese cavalry rushed out. Fiercely slaughtered the Eighth Route Army.

In Dolun, the Japanese garrisoned a cavalry wing. About two thousand people. There is also a part of the gendarmerie unit. There are also some infantry. The total strength will not be less than three thousand. The strength is still very strong.

In particular, the cavalry wing belongs to the battle sequence of the Kwantung Army. It can be said that it is very elite.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army opened fire from a long distance.

From time to time, Japanese cavalry were hit. But there are not many of them. Therefore, the Japanese cavalry did not care.

They thought it was the Eighth Route Cavalry who had lost their way.

Otherwise, according to normal thinking, how could the Tubalu cavalry, who only had a few dozen people, dare to come and harass Duolun?

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The commander of the Japanese cavalry wing held his command knife aloft.

Damn dirt hachiro!

Dare to run to the vicinity of Duolun to spread wild!

Really when the Imperial Army of Japan did not exist?

Personally lead the troops to attack.

However, he did not immediately report to his superiors. Nor did they carry a radio station.

In the eyes of the captain of the Japanese cavalry wing, there are only a few dozen people of the Tubalu cavalry, so there is no need to worry at all. It will be eliminated soon.

Don't use an elephant to crack a nut?

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

The Japanese cavalry rushed to kill.

The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army was not numerous. Soon it will be untenable. Had to go back continuously.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Japanese cavalry pursued even more fiercely.

The speed of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army gradually slowed down. Apparently the horses are starting to get tired.

Subsequently, they split into two ways and staggered to the sides.

The Japanese cavalry continued to pursue.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

All of them are extremely fanatical.

They swore that they would wipe out all the Tu Eighth Route cavalry in front of them.

On the prairie, the Japanese are the masters!

There is only death on the dirt road!

Even if Da Luo Jin Immortal appeared, he couldn't save these dirt eight roads.

However......

The Japanese cavalry soon realized that something was wrong.

What's up ahead?

Dark ......

Like a tank?

Damn it!

It's a tank!

In an instant, all the Japanese cavalry were full of cleverness!

Even the horses under their crotches sensed the danger.

It's a dirt tank!

There are tanks on the dirt eight roads! They're just up ahead!

They were here waiting for the Japanese cavalry to rush up. And then throw yourself into the net.

Annoying!

There was an ambush in them.

Caught off guard, they rushed to the front of the tank.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

The MG34 machine gun began firing.

A large number of Japanese cavalry were shot and fell. They don't have time to turn.

However, light machine guns were not a nightmare for Japanese cavalry.

Anti-aircraft machine guns are.

"Sudden ......"

"Sudden ......"

Another 12.7 mm heavy machine gun fired.

On each tank, Zhang Chu specially added a 12.7 mm American-made M2 heavy machine gun to strengthen the firepower.

That's the deadliest thing.

For cavalry, a 12.7 mm caliber bullet is absolutely a catastrophe.

The bullet is still extremely lethal when it travels a distance of kilometers. And there is no way to dodge.

Zhang Chu: ......

Regretful......

Alas, another deadly trap.

So many war horses died under the bullets of large-caliber machine guns.

It's a pity......

They are all good horses!

It's still very good to raise horses in Japan.

Objectively speaking, the Japanese did put a lot of hard work into raising horses.

The Japanese cavalry units also had plenty of horses.

The total number of Japanese cavalry may have been only 100,000.

However, there are 300,000 war horses prepared by the Japanese!

Not to mention the formation of a cavalry battalion, it is enough to form a cavalry regiment. Even cavalry brigades, cavalry divisions......

But now......

All dreams were shattered.

Those large-caliber bullets are the existence that destroys everything.

If you want to be caught alive, don't even think about it.

Both men and horses were shattered.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

Finding that they had been deceived, the Japanese cavalry hurriedly retreated.

They are indeed cavalry elites. In the end, a considerable number of Japanese invaders successfully escaped from the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army.

After a simple count, about 400 Japanese cavalry were killed.

Imperfect ambushes.

only a third of the enemy was destroyed.

The Japanese had a cavalry wing of more than 1,500 men. Only more than 400 people were eliminated, which is far from enough.

However, this is already the best way Zhang Chu can think of.

Ambush with tanks.

The next goal is Duolun!

Ambush, just drop by.

"Quack!"

"Quack!"

The tank units moved on.

In fact, the tank troops led by Zhang Chu are all composed of rookies.

They were trained for five days at most before being pulled into battle.

Zhang Chu's requirements for them are also very low.

Will drive in a straight line.

Will turn.

Will reverse.

Will park.

Then it's parked and fired.

That's all.

Once you learn it, you can pull it directly over to Duolun.

Conquer Duolun as soon as possible.

He needed such an official stronghold.

"Yaga!"

"Tubalu is too deceitful!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Japanese invaders stationed in Duolun immediately attacked.

They know it very well. It is impossible for Duolun to be passively defensive.

There are tanks on the dirt eight road. There are heavy artillery.

The fortifications of Duolun simply could not withstand the bombardment of 105-mm heavy artillery.

Take the initiative to fight back, and maybe there is a glimmer of life.

However......

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

Dense machine-gun fire.

Thirty tanks. Fan out and attack the Japanese invaders.

At the same time, in the back of the tank, there was also a 105-mm howitzer. But it was not put in the column. There was no shooting either. Because there is no need.

Under the cover of tanks, 81-mm mortars were enough.

In case of a strong stronghold, there were also 50-mm tank guns. It is very penetrating.

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

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

There was a fierce battle. The Japanese suffered heavy losses.

The remaining Japanese had to evacuate Duolun. Otherwise, they will all die here.

The Anti-Japanese Vanguard Army successfully occupied Duolun.

"Nani?"

"Yaga!"

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

The Kwantung Army shook up and down.

Duolun was an important stronghold of the Kwantung Army in the west.

Although there was only one cavalry wing stationed there. However, it is a genuine battle sequence of the Kwantung Army.

The capture of Duolun by the Eighth Road is equivalent to slapping the face of the Kwantung Army!

Is this still worth it?

The Kwantung Army Aviation Department was immediately ordered to dispatch the aircraft.

Isn't there a tank on the dirt road?

Isn't there heavy artillery?

I'll blow you all up with a plane. See what you have to rely on.

"Watch out for air defense!"

"Watch out for air defense!"

Here, Zhang Chu also knew very well what would happen next.

The planes of the Japanese invaders will definitely arrive soon. The number will not be less.

Because, I poked the Kwantung Army.

To deal with the Japanese planes, he prepared about 120 anti-aircraft machine guns.

It's deployed around Duolun.

Sure enough, a large number of Japanese planes arrived. There are more than 30 of them!

Of these, there are about two dozen fighters. There were about ten bombers.

"Sudden ......"

"Sudden ......"

Ground anti-aircraft fire was in full swing.

All anti-aircraft machine guns fired heavily into the sky.

Countless bullets shot into the sky.

Suddenly, a dazzling flash of fire exploded in the air.

But it was a Japanese bomber that was hit. Explode in the air as a fireball.

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

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

At the same time, the Japanese bombs were also falling continuously.

The outskirts of Duolun turned into a sea of fire.

The Japanese planes swooped and strafed, dropped bombs, and bombed, eager to turn the ground over.

Zhang Chu's heart is like stopping water.

Now it's all about fighting. Exchange anti-aircraft machine guns for Japanese planes.

It's cruel.

It's cold.

But war is like that.

The competition is about the resources of both sides. Including human resources.

If a Japanese invader hits a plane, he loses a pilot. Airplanes may make up for it. But pilots have a hard time making up for it.

This is Zhang Chu's attrition tactic.

A large amount of the elite of the Japanese invaders is consumed.

Whether it is the Japanese infantry or the Japanese air force, once the elite is consumed, the comprehensive combat effectiveness will decline rapidly.

And the Eighth Route Army was bombed without an anti-aircraft machine gun, and there were several casualties.

Heartache.

But I can only grit my teeth and bear it.
