Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 407 The New Battle of Xifengkou ([-])
(Drinking with three junior high school classmates today, hehe, maybe I was too excited, I drank too much, maybe I will be a bit incoherent, I can only ask everyone to bear with me)
The attack of the Independent Brigade was orderly. The leading engineer battalion split two companies into the first trench of the Japanese army and began to clean up the remaining enemies. The troops of the other company began to urgently build bridges above the trench.The training of the engineer battalion was orderly. For this kind of trench, it had its own unique bridge-building method. Two logs were placed in the center of the trench, and then the bridge slab was laid on it.The chariot regiment is firmly nailed to the edge of the trench, using smoothbore guns and machine guns to firmly suppress the enemy in front of them.

The chariot regiment of the Independent Brigade is equipped with a total of six American-made M2 ​​medium tanks and forty Jiguang medium tanks. The M2 medium tank is equipped with a smoothbore gun with a caliber of 37 mm, while the original model of the Jiguang type is equipped with a caliber of 57 mm.With these 46 cannons, the chariot regiment firmly suppressed the Japanese firepower from the very beginning, which made the bridging work of the engineer battalion go very smoothly.

The independent brigade had such a powerful tank unit, which was beyond Sakai's expectations. After the counterattacking troops were completely suppressed, Sakai decisively ordered the artillery to carry out fierce shelling on the enemy's tanks at the front.

The leader of the chariot regiment was a Jew named Johnny.Johnny once served as the platoon leader of the tank unit in the German Army. When the first shell exploded in front, he decisively ordered to call for the support of his own self-propelled artillery.As a result, the self-propelled artillery of a regiment stopped and began to counterattack the Japanese artillery.

Just as the artillery units of the two sides began to shoot at each other, the convoy of the engineering battalion took the lead through the first trench and rushed towards the second line of defense of the Japanese army.Immediately after the engineer battalion, the tank regiment rushed over, sandwiched the engineer battalion again, and began to suppress the Japanese army in the second trench and the Japanese army who wanted to counterattack behind.

The Japanese army suffered from the losses of the Chinese tank troops in the tank battle before Xifengkou. The so-called "study a fall and gain a wisdom". From then on, the Japanese army began to pay attention to the equipment of anti-tank weapons. There is a squadron of anti-tank weapons.After the own artillery was overwhelmed by the artillery of the Independent Brigade, Sakai moved the only anti-tank squadron to the third and final trench.However, what surprised him was that the Chinese chariot on the opposite side was not so hard.Not only are 120mm and 75mm caliber cannons ineffective against them, but even specialized anti-tank guns and rebounding guns cannot cause effective damage.Among them, a chariot marked "Jew-001" was hit by three anti-tank guns in a row, but it was unharmed, and it was still firing shells there in an orderly manner.

The weapons and equipment of the Jewish Independent Brigade, except for the limited allocation from the government, are all undertaken by the Jewish Chamber of Commerce.The Jews were originally equipped with American-made equipment as much as possible. However, when the American-made equipment headed by M2 medium tanks was completely destroyed by the self-produced equipment of the Cadet Army in an exercise, the Jews in Stern and other At the suggestion of the officers of the Independent Brigade, the Jewish Chamber of Commerce switched to purchasing products from the cadet army's arsenal, which raised the combat effectiveness of the Independent Brigade by more than one level.

Witnessing all this, Sakai immediately realized that the Xuebing Army's counterattack was definitely not just about repelling his own troops, there must be some conspiracy behind it.Therefore, he issued an order to let the frontline troops destroy the Chinese chariot regardless of the consequences.

The composition of the Japanese army at this time, in addition to the active duty soldiers, the rest came from the reserve troops who had recently retired. Although the age of the soldiers was generally higher, at the same time, the combat experience and the spirit of death were also high.Those low-level officers on the front line are all terrorists through and through.These people saw that their anti-tank weapons could not effectively kill the Chinese tanks, so they began to agitate and take the lead in carrying out meat bomb attacks.

Seeing one after another little devils with explosive packs in their arms and grenades strapped to their bodies rushed out of the trenches and the bunkers in the mountains on both sides. At the beginning, Johnny was shocked by the desperate momentum of the Japanese army, and for a while he forgot to post Effective combat order.And his subordinates also panicked. Among them, the driver of an M2 medium tank couldn't bear the pressure of death and began to retreat.

At the critical moment, a tank machine gunner named Wang Xiping played a role.While adjusting the position of the machine gun, he fired violently at the frontmost meat bullet, and shouted: "Brothers, shoot! Don't let the little devils get close!"

Under his shooting, with a "boom", the explosive package on the devil was detonated.Then, amidst this huge explosion, more and more tank machine gunners were awakened and began to shoot wildly.

The sound of "boom" continued, and one after another was blown to pieces by the explosives and grenades they carried.However, the chariot regiment still paid the price of three tanks.The worst of them was an M2 rushing to the front. It was directly detonated by an explosive package carried by a devil's meat bomb. In the rumble of explosions, the tank and its crew were all turned into pieces.

Stern witnessed all this from behind, gritted his teeth loudly, and his face turned pale.After a few seconds of hesitation, he decisively issued an order, shouting: "Ma Kaishan, it's up to you!"

"Hey!" The cavalry unit lined up in the middle of the large army, led by Ma Kaishan, screamed in unison, and charged forward under the control of the horses.

Compared with the tank regiment, the cost of the cavalry battalion is obviously much lower.Stern's idea is very simple, to use the sacrifice of the cavalry battalion in exchange for the survival of the chariot regiment.Ma Kaishan doesn't know if he has comprehended this meaning, but one thing is worthy of recognition is that he and his men did not flinch in the face of those ammunition depots that might explode at any time. In the end, with almost half of the troops lost, the 300-strong devil self-destruct team was completely beheaded and defeated.Quickly cleared the way forward for the tank regiment and engineer battalion.

More devils rushed out from the last ditch, and behind this, a full regiment and a half of devils, including a tank squadron, rushed out of their camp.Because he didn't know the combat purpose of the Xuebing Army, Sakai Koji risked the entire army's annihilation, and resolutely sent all the troops to join the battle.His idea is very simple, that is, the whole army should be exhausted for this, and the offensive momentum of the Chinese army should be contained, so as to buy time for Xiangyue Qingji's arrangement.

Experts can tell if there is one as soon as they stretch out their hands. The original task of the Independent Brigade was to pierce the Japanese army and directly attack the big barrier, but Sakai's way, the Independent Brigade is very likely to fall into it.Facing such a complicated battle situation, how should Stern dismantle his moves?
