my bright sword career

One kilometer away from the attack site, in an unremarkable observation post, Gao Hongming, Commander Liu, Political Commissar Ping, and all the brigade commanders of 386, 685, and Xinyi Brigade gathered.

Watching the Japanese army positions on the opposite side tremble under the artillery fire, bunkers, trenches, machine gun bunkers and other fortifications were wiped out in the explosion, the 129th Division from the division commander to the brigade commander, although the generals did not speak, but all of them felt very sad. shocked.

Brigadier Chen was better. After all, when he was in Zhongtiao Mountain, he had seen the cannon doctrine advocated by the Liantai militia, but it was the first time that Master Liu and the others had seen the fighting style of the Liantai militia. They were not so calm.

The shelling has lasted for half an hour. Someone estimated that in this half hour, hundreds of artillery pieces were fired, at least more than 1 shells were fired, and the Japanese positions with a radius of several kilometers were almost sifted like a plow. over and over.

The generals of the Eighth Route Army who saw this scene were all moved. For the Eighth Route Army, which is counting and firing bullets, such a shelling scene is definitely very rare.

Brigadier Wang of the 385th Brigade sighed softly, and said to Brigadier Chen beside him: "Old Chen, it would be great if these artillery pieces belonged to our Eighth Route Army.

If there are so many big guys, we don't need to be afraid of the devil's blockade. Any bunker that dares to block the way will be shot, no matter how strong the bunker is, it will be wiped out. "

Brigadier Chen rolled his eyes at him, "Old Wang, you don't want to go to the back to take a look. Those artillery pieces are not only a few hundred kilograms, and two or three soldiers can push the [-]nd infantry artillery all over the mountain. More than a dozen tons or even dozens of tons are inseparable from the road. Even if they are all given to us, where do you plan to put them?

Moreover, these artillery can't be pulled by mules and horses at all, they can only be pulled by large trucks, so we can only think about it at this stage. "

Brigadier Wang thought for a while, but shook his head helplessly, showing a regretful expression.

At this time, Brigadier Zhao of the New First Brigade suddenly said, "Look, the New First Regiment and the armored troops are ready to attack!"

While the two of them were talking, the sound of the guns stopped at some point, and soon twos and threes of the Japanese army began to appear on the ground, and they could even see the Japanese army starting to set up machine guns.

Here I want to say that today's attack is actually just a tentative attack, and its purpose is to let the newly arrived Master Liu and the generals of the Eighth Route Army better get in touch with the Liantai militia.

At the same time, it is also to let them familiarize themselves with the tactics of infantry-tank coordination, and the unit most familiar with infantry-tank coordination is none other than the New Regiment. We have cooperated several times, so it has also become the best demonstration object.

Soon, dozens of No. [-] tanks painted iron gray began to appear in the sight of the Japanese army. They moved forward while turning the square turret, and the huge muzzle kept pointing at the possibility of direction of the Japanese army.

"boom"

With a loud noise, a 75mm high-explosive bomb fell on the position, and several Japanese soldiers disappeared immediately.

"Fire!" The Japanese commander on the ground quickly issued an order.

"Da da da" bursts of bullets immediately splashed forward like raindrops, hitting the armor of the tank with a "jingling" sound and flying sparks, but this did not affect the speed of the tank at all. Quickly rushed over.

With a sound of "touch", a 94-type 37mm anti-tank gun fired. This anti-tank gun was imitated by Japan after the Pak36 37mm anti-tank gun imported from Germany.

It stands to reason that if you imitate, you can imitate honestly, and Xiao Guicao will do as you please.

But the Japanese just like to make some new tricks, because Japan doesn't like capped armor-piercing projectiles that cannot explode, so they insist on using their own armor-piercing explosive projectiles.

The result of this is that at the same distance, the imitation Type 94 anti-tank gun has 36 mm weaker armor penetration than the original German Pak10 anti-tank gun.

Originally, the Pak36 anti-tank gun could not keep up with the development of the times in the middle and late stages of World War II. Now facing the 50 mm thick and sloping armor of the Panzer IV, it can only bounce back helplessly.

"Baga Road, keep firing!" The officers on the Japanese positions hurriedly ordered the soldiers to continue firing.

At this time, the ones rushing to the front were the first company and one platoon of the newly established Second Armored Battalion, and the platoon leader was Huang Jianhua from the original First Battalion.

"Quick, explosive bombs, 300 o'clock direction, 2134 meters away, release!" Huang Jianhua, who was still commanding the No. [-] tank, ordered loudly.

"Boom" was another loud bang, more than 300 meters away from them, the 94-type 37mm anti-tank gun and the three fighters immediately disappeared.

Suddenly, a loud "Dang" sounded on the tank. It turned out that it was hit by a 37mm anti-tank explosive shell, and the rapidly advancing tank stopped suddenly.

"Onboard!"

There was a burst of cheers from the Japanese position in front, and all the gunners were smiling. Just as they were about to continue their efforts, the stopped tank started to move again.

This scene stunned the Japanese soldiers on the ground. They saw that the speed of the tank was getting faster and faster, and it rushed to less than 50 meters in front of the Japanese position. There is a small recessed hole in the left armor.

"God Amaterasu, what kind of monster is this?" the Japanese army officer in charge shouted in despair.

"Kakakakaka..."

At this time, the side-by-side machine guns installed in front of the tank turret poured out flames, and the Japanese soldiers on the gun positions fell into a pool of blood one after another.

"Look, the tank group is rushing up, they have already rushed up!" Brigadier Wang in the observation post shouted excitedly, pointing to the front.

The generals of the Eighth Route Army on the side looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw the amazement in each other's eyes.

Brigadier Zhao asked his own political commissar beside him, "Old Zhou, you said that if our new brigade were to storm the Japanese positions, how much strength and time would it take to take them down?"

The political commissar slowly stretched out three fingers: "Without the strength of the three regiments, it will take three to five days to take it down, and we have to be prepared for one-third of the casualties. Lao Zhao, it's not our soldiers. , but our firepower is really bad."

"Yeah, who made us poor."

Brigadier Zhao shook his head helplessly at first, and then said a little dissatisfied: "Okay, keep watching, the new regiment of the 386th Brigade should start to join, I want to see the combat effectiveness of the troops who have accepted the change of clothes How strong can it be?"

At this time, under the rapid breakthrough of the Second Armored Battalion, the first line of defense of the 45th Regiment of the Sixth Division has been torn a big hole, and the Second Armored Battalion is continuing to expand the results on the ground.
