Chapter 362: A Tentative Battle
"Report! NEW INFORMATION! The Dongying Army has been dispatched! ”
A soldier sends intelligence to the front command.
Zhang Xingbang opened it and looked at it, and he could automatically translate the password on it at a glance.
"About six thousand people, ten tanks."
"But according to the description of the front line observation, their tank is strange."
Zhang Xingbang said slowly.
"What about distance?"
"Twelve miles, there should still be a little distance."
He looked at the follow-up information and spoke.
"Their tanks are strange...... Zhao Qing, don't go out first, let's try to defend first, you are on standby in the third depth, let's test the strength first. ”
Tang Xu thought about it and said.
Cheng Wenxing also thought so, if they could use infantry to break their chariots, they would have an absolute advantage in future battles.
And after the initial exploration, this Dongying army was only 60,000 people.
They will not have a disadvantage in the case of equal numbers.
Although more than 20,000 of them were still building in the harbor and rear, the more than 40,000 people in front of them were enough for them to fight a battle.
"Zhang Xingbang, give the order to go down, the first depth immediately meets the enemy, and when you see it, you will open fire, and the artillery will be ready to support at any time."
"The second depth is ready for support. The artillery in the second depth was fired in a curved manner, ready to strike at their subsequent support. ”
Tang Xu ordered.
Although he was the commander-in-chief, he had already discussed these orders with Cheng Wenxing before saying them.
The second in-depth support preparation is Cheng Wenxing's supplement.
Zhang Xingbang immediately sent someone to send the order down.
"Okay, let's go and see the situation on the battlefield first."
Cheng Wenxing said, "Let's decide whether the chariot will attack or not." ”
As he spoke, they all came to the third depth, and looked at the enemy in front of them with binoculars.
In the telescope pool, ten chariots kept moving forward, but it could be seen that the chariots were followed by a long line, and there were even people pushing artillery at the back.
It's not very fast.
But steady progress seems indestructible.
"Artillery try to hit first?"
Tang Xu looked at Cheng Wenxing.
"I don't think so, let's get closer first, and the rapid-fire gun in the second depth can be prepared for long-range shooting."
Cheng Wenxing shook his head as he spoke.
According to what he saw in his telescope, for some reason, the chariot on the opposite side always gave him the feeling of a newspaper shell, as if he could wear it in a dozen.
But he also did not dare to joke with the lives of his own troops.
That's why I wanted to try the effect of the rapid-fire cannon, and if the rapid-fire cannon could solve the problem, it would be easy.
As the chariot advanced, the soldiers inside the first deep trench had already opened fire.
Heavy machine guns and rifles fired constantly.
I only heard the sound of "dang dang dang", and I could hear it at once, and the bullet failed to penetrate the enemy's armor.
Seeing this, the two Koizumi brothers were happy.
"That's all they have?"
"Our tanks can break through their defenses very well, and send another batch, ten tanks, to charge directly at full speed!"
The second son of the Koizumi family spoke.
"No, I think it's better to wait until we see it, if these six thousand people can break through their positions, we can continue to charge."
"If they show their weapons, we will shoot our bows and not turn back."
Koizumi's family spoke, and after thinking about it, the two decided to continue to look at the situation.
After all, the opposing artillery has not yet fired.
In Ikeda's description, the artillery of the Kakuni army was also very effective.
"Boom!"
The artillery fired, but not at the chariot, but at the soldiers behind the chariot.
Many soldiers were killed by the artillery, but most of them continued to maintain their formation.
Morale, as long as it is Dongying's army, there is no need to worry.
They have a rather fanatical war character.
As the artillery bombarded, Dongying's artillery also began to return fire. The artillery of both sides also began to attack and defend.
As soon as the artillery of both sides opened fire, the vehicle began to accelerate.
Because of the experience that Shinaki Ikeda shared before...... In fact, it was Sun Xiang's style of play, the chariot must rush over first, give enough damage to the enemy on the position, and reduce the pressure on the infantry.
The infantry then also charged towards the front of the first depth.
The sounds of rifles, submachine guns, rapid-fire guns, and artillery were chaotic.
The chariots had already driven to the middle of the first depth, and what they saw was the artillery that had been lined up and prepared!
"Boom!"
A series of artillery shots, and the first chariot that rushed into it was directly beaten into a sieve and exploded on the spot!
The chariots behind hesitated a little and began to attack on both sides of the first depth of the Jiaguo army.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
At this time, Dongying's chariot happened to enter the range of the second deep rapid-fire gun.
The rapid-fire cannon began to fire.
Although the chariot and rapid-fire guns were fired at each other, the rapid-fire guns were somewhat at a loss.
But rapid-fire guns are forgiving and can hit accurately when the enemy is maneuvering.
And artillery can't do that.
Dong Ying's chariot was shot out of small holes under the fire of rapid-fire guns.
This proves that Cheng Wenxing's idea is not wrong, these chariots are not very strong.
"The artillery pays attention to the bullet point, aim at the Dongying chariot and shoot!"
Tang Xu ordered the defense of the second depth.
At this time, the Dongying soldiers had already entered the central range of the first depth position.
Begin close-quarters charge battles and trench battles with the soldiers.
However, the soldiers of Jiaguo did not love war, and after the Dongying soldiers came to the meeting, they fought while retreating, mainly to reduce losses.
When they all retreated to the second depth, the fierce counterattack hit these Dongying soldiers head-on like a hammer.
The attacks of various narrow passages, ferocious automatic weapons and even rapid-fire cannons directly blinded them.
However, the Koizumi brothers in the distance did not know about this situation.
What they saw was that their own army members had rushed in!
And the enemy forces are retreating!
And their tanks, although the defense is not good, a few have been lost, but there is still a tendency to attack.
"It should be pressed by the army, they have been able to take care of themselves."
The second son of the Koizumi family thought about it.
Looking at the situation on the battlefield in front of them, the eldest son of the Koizumi family also came to the same conclusion, so they felt that this was a good opportunity to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop!
"If we can give them a blow to the head and press them back into the mountains, it will be our world!"
Koizumi's family nodded.
In their eyes, they themselves are experts in mountain warfare.
The various mountains in Dongying can be said to be stacked with peaks and peaks, and they fight like a fish in water in the mountains!
Therefore, they did not hesitate to give the order to the whole army to assault!
All the soldiers rushed out with their chariots, and they began to attack the enemy forces that had been compressed from all angles.
Even outside the range of rapid-fire guns, rapid-fire guns on combat vehicles were already firing.
In contrast, a chariot with artillery could still hit the positions of the Jiaguo soldiers.
In the third depth, not only Tang Xu and Cheng Wenxing, but everyone else was holding binoculars to see the situation of the enemy army.
