"Wu Ze, all the anti-aircraft guns have been repositioned according to your arrangement." Zhang Jijun came over and reported to Wu Ze.
"Well, very good." Wu Ze hummed and looked at Zhang Jijun: "Be ready for battle, the enemy's mechanized troops are coming."
"Yes." Zhang Jijun responded and returned to the deputy command position.
"Lao Li, Lao Kong, have everything been arranged?" Wu Ze asked Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
"It's all done, just wait for his little devil's mechanized troops to drive by and throw themselves into the trap." Li Yunlong geared up.
We have seen the 88 anti-aircraft artillery attack Japanese aircraft, but we have not seen it attack tanks.
"Don't be careless, the little devils are fighting with infantry and tanks this time." Wu Ze still said solemnly.
"What the hell..." Li Yunlong was about to start bragging, but Kong Jie interrupted: "Old Li, Wu Ze told you not to be careless, so just listen. When did Xiao Wu's words make a mistake!"
"Wu Ze, the Japs' mechanized troops are still three mountains away from us. They are coming quickly on the hillside." At this time, an intelligence agent came over again to report to Wu Ze, "As you expected, their infantry are following on horseback. Behind the tanks, there was an entire regiment of infantry.”
"I know, keep asking." Wu Ze nodded.
"Damn, it's really not enough for a little kid from the regiment to come here." Li Yunlong heard this and said, "At least, he should send a brigade over, so that we, Lao Li, can have a meal." .”
"Li Yunlong, let's see what you can do. These are nearly four thousand Japs. They can defeat two divisions of Chiang Kai-shek, your two brigades and mine..." Kong Jie said to Li Yunlong.
Before Kong Jie finished speaking, Li Yunlong interrupted: "Kong Er, let's do this. You lead your independent brigade and watch from behind, and my new brigade will round up this group of Japanese."
"Xiao Wu, do you care if Mr. Li is talking big words?" Kong Jie refused to argue with Li Yunlong.
"Old Li, if you still think that your brigade can defeat the opponent, then let's do this. I will withdraw the 88 anti-aircraft guns and you will fight here alone." Wu Ze said pretentiously.
"Ahem." Li Yunlong's confidence immediately ran out, "Don't, don't, don't, Xiao Wu, your 88 anti-aircraft gun has been taken away. What can I do with the little devil's tank?"
"Old Li, it's a good thing that you are not afraid of the Japs." Wu Ze solemnly said, "But never underestimate the Japs! Our 88 anti-aircraft guns are inconvenient to transport. Once a fight breaks out, the Japs' tanks will It’s easy to move, but if the Japs get a chance to counterattack and 88 anti-aircraft guns are lost, then there will be no room for regret!”
"That's right, Li Yunlong, you are so awesome, don't ask for the 88 anti-aircraft gun. If you..." Kong Jie teased.
"Go, go, you idiot." Li Yunlong couldn't help but look at Wu Ze: "Xiao Wu, didn't you arrange everything well? You ambush the planes before, wasn't it very beautiful? One hundred planes were all laid out The Japs were shot down, but none of our 88 anti-aircraft guns was lost. This time, you have already arranged it, is it possible that we will have a chance to be caught by the Japs this time!"
"Any accident may happen on the battlefield." Wu Ze said seriously, "For example, if we ambush three batches of Japanese planes, if the wind blows during this period and the strong wind blows away the smoke, the Japanese planes will be alert. Do you still think we will have such a record?"
"That's right, if the wind blows, it won't be easy to fight a Japanese plane head-on." Kong Jie nodded, "In front of me, although the little Japanese mechanized troops are angry and charging at them with great momentum, it is very likely that they will kill each other head-on." They crashed into our ambush circle, but they were furious and fought back desperately. This trapped beast is struggling to the death, and its combat power cannot be underestimated. "
"Kong Er is stupid, Xiao Wu is trying to reason with us, why are you interrupting?" Although Li Yunlong felt that Kong Jie's words were very reasonable, he still said something back to Kong Jie, and then looked at Wu Ze: "Xiao Wu, in that case, Then we can only reluctantly cooperate with Kong Erluzi."
"Hey, Li Yunlong, you think I rarely cooperate with you." Kong Jie scolded, "I will always be on tenterhooks when fighting with a guy like you. I can tell you, when we fight later, you must be strict Follow Xiao Wu's tactics, don't worry about killing yourself, you will lead the troops to act recklessly and ruin the overall situation."
"Kong Er, don't be ridiculous. We, Lao Li, never suffer on the battlefield." Li Yunlong patted his chest. Thinking of something, Li Yunlong turned to look at Wu Ze: "Xiao Wu, I thought about your tactics for a while, and it seems that We can’t wipe out all the little devil’s tanks. When they run away, we won’t be able to catch up with our legs.”
"You don't need to worry about this." Wu Ze calmly said, "I have already asked your old superior, Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade, to arrange it secretly. When the time comes, no little Japs will be allowed to slip through the net."
"Look, look, this is called a perfect strategy, this is called professionalism!" Kong Jie immediately flattered Wu Ze.
Li Yunlong was unhappy: "Xiao Wu, how can you let our old brigade commander make this money? Otherwise, I captured the Japanese war horse and led the troops to ride after him?"
Our New 1st Brigade and the Independent Brigade practiced hard to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese mechanized troops, and the 386th Brigade took advantage. After settling the accounts, we, Lao Li, lost.
"Li Yunlong, you kid, don't do this!" Kong Jie said, "You rode a horse to chase another tank, and you caught up with it. Without the 88 anti-aircraft gun, what could you use to hit the tank? By then, the muzzle of the little Japanese tank would be Tiao, you will be knocked off your feet."
Wu Ze said seriously to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, I have other great uses for your troops."
"What's the big use?" Li Yunlong asked.
"You will know later," Wu Ze said, "Lao Kong is right. When the time comes, even if you capture the war horse, you are not allowed to chase it. Do you understand?"
This so-called has another great use, that is, the deputy commander-in-chief is not far away from launching a large-scale raid.
Tojo Ichiro's army was taken care of by the Jinsui Army. This was also the time when the First Army was at its weakest, and it was the best time to launch an attack on the Shotai Line.
At the same time, it was also time to attack the Taiyuan Arsenal and seize machine tools.
This is naturally the job of the new brigade.
"Okay, okay." Li Yunlong nodded, believing that Wu Ze would not let him down.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Let's all go back to the command position and wait for my orders." Wu Ze returned to the topic, "This little devil came with anger. Even if they are ambushed, they will still struggle to the death. Their fighting power is not weak. You must not be careless.”
"yes."
"yes."
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie responded and quickly returned to their command positions.
Wu Ze personally checked the tactical position of the 88 anti-aircraft gun again. After confirming that nothing was missing, he returned to the command post and waited for you to enter the urn!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
The mechanized troops dispatched by Ichiro Tojo rumbled in, dozens of tank engines roaring, and they moved as quickly as possible towards the location of the Eighteenth Group Army's 88 anti-aircraft guns.
Behind the mechanized troops were rumbled war horses.
The war horses carried Japanese soldiers armed to the teeth. They followed the road crushed by the tanks and quickly followed up.
This is a team full of hatred, from the highest officers to the soldiers, everyone's eyes are as red as wild beasts.
The Eighteenth Group Army, this insidious and cunning enemy, actually had anti-aircraft guns. The anti-aircraft guns destroyed a hundred aircraft. Such a despicable trick was really disgusting.
We must get to the place as quickly as possible to prevent them from escaping.
If possible, we hope that the pilot can still be searched and rescued, although the probability is slim.
Pilots are a more valuable resource than airplanes.
Even if there is still a glimmer of hope, don't give up.
"General, this should not be far from the 18th Group Army's anti-aircraft artillery position." The adjutant looked at the map and said, "I think they will definitely have blocking troops. Our tanks are too loud. Why don't the infantry get there first?" Move closer quietly. When the infantry surrounds and entangles the enemy, can our tanks move in?"
The furious commander of the mechanized force couldn't listen at all. He shook his head: "No, just crush it with tanks. According to judgment, the anti-aircraft guns of the 18th Group Army should be from our military columns in the past." The batch of half-finished anti-aircraft guns that were looted are inconvenient for them to carry in the mountains, so we don’t have to worry about disturbing them, we can just kill them."
"Ha Yi." The adjutant said nothing more.
Yes, it is inconvenient for the enemy to carry the 88 anti-aircraft gun, and it will definitely not move fast. What are you afraid of, just crush it.
Just like that, dozens of tanks rumbled toward the ambush circle with the cavalry troops.
Due to terrain reasons, the Japanese tanks could not fully deploy.
The tanks cannot be fully deployed, which means that the combat effectiveness of the tank unit cannot be fully displayed.
But sometimes, the disadvantages are also advantages.
At present, the Japanese tank troops could not fully deploy, and Wu Ze's 88 anti-aircraft guns could not fully deploy, so they could not deliver a devastating blow immediately.
There is nothing that can be done about it, this is already the best chosen ambush place.
Therefore, Wu Ze asked Li Yunlong and Kong Jie not to be careless.
"beat!"
Seeing that the time had come, Wu Ze decisively gave the order to start the fight.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
Some of the 88 anti-aircraft guns that had been prepared early roared immediately.
Several tanks that appeared in the Japanese mechanized troops were instantly reduced to scrap metal by the powerful firepower of the 88 anti-aircraft gun.
Especially the light tanks were torn to pieces.
This sudden change instantly confused all the Japanese soldiers:
"Baga, this, this, is this an anti-tank gun?"
"Oh my God, does the 18th Army still have anti-tank guns that are so powerful that they can destroy our medium tanks with one shot?"
"Baga, does the 18th Army still have a trump card?"
…
These 88 anti-aircraft artillery troops lacked experience in hitting ground targets and did not hit other tanks.
But without any hesitation, the artillerymen quickly adjusted their muzzles, and the 88 anti-aircraft gun roared again.
When the Japanese soldiers were stunned and had not yet recovered, to be precise, the 88th anti-aircraft artillery did not give the enemy time to react.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The tanks that had not been hit before were hit one after another, and either turned into raging rage, or were turned into flying scrap metal.
Only then did the Japanese commanders react.
"Baga, attack, attack!" Although nearly one-third of the tanks were killed, the Japanese tank commander did not hesitate and immediately ordered the remaining tanks to attack.
This Japanese tank was not stupid, and immediately began to take a circuitous route based on the terrain.
Although the location of the enemy's artillery position has been exposed, the range of our own artillery is no better than that of the opponent, so a fool would rush forward and use the terrain to outflank it.
The Japanese infantry also changed from a brief shock to a well-trained one.
They quickly dismounted and followed among the tanks. Machine gunners fired at suspicious places, and grenades and mortars also quickly provided fire cover at suspicious places.
However, Wu Ze was already familiar with the terrain here.
While the Japanese tanks and infantry were detouring according to the terrain, the 88 anti-aircraft guns that were partially hidden carefully stretched out the barrel from the camouflage and began to take aim.
When the Japanese tank group reached the best ambush position, Wu Ze gave the order, and the hidden 88 anti-aircraft guns roared again.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
In this sneak attack, nearly ten tanks were destroyed.
The Japanese tank commander's command vehicle almost became a victim.
"Baga, damn it, damn it, the 18th Army actually has more anti-tank guns, they are so insidious!" the commander of the mechanized force was extremely angry.
"General, that doesn't seem to be an anti-tank gun, it seems to be an 88 anti-aircraft gun." The adjutant said.
"What, 88 anti-aircraft gun?" Upon hearing this, the commander of the mechanized unit questioned: "This is an anti-aircraft gun. Can an anti-aircraft gun also hit tanks?"
"General, who said anti-aircraft guns can't hit tanks? Any anti-aircraft gun in the world can be used to hit tanks as long as the muzzle can be leveled. But generally, no one does this..." The adjutant did not finish his words.
The commander of the mechanized force yelled: "Baga, Baga, in our rage, we actually ignored this detail!"
"General, let's retreat, let's..." The adjutant didn't finish his words.
The commander of the mechanized force interrupted: "Baga, all our planes were shot down by the enemy's anti-aircraft guns. Our mechanized force is here to destroy them, and we also need to search and rescue our pilots. Now if you ask me to go back, how will I follow you back?" General Tojo told me. I told him that I lost half of my tanks and came back in despair!"
"General, according to our judgment, this position is not the position where the 18th Army's anti-aircraft guns attacked our aircraft group. This position was advanced. Obviously, the 18th Army had expected that our mechanized troops would come over, so he changed it in advance. They invaded the anti-aircraft gun position and used the anti-aircraft gun as an anti-tank gun. This is a trap. We..." The adjutant did not finish his words.
The commander of the mechanized force said angrily: "I know this is a trap, but since we have discovered the Chinese anti-aircraft guns, we cannot withdraw. Order the infantry to move closer and let the infantry capture the enemy's anti-aircraft guns at all costs. They cannot move them. Let’s go.”
"General, do our tanks have to retreat?" The adjutant paused and asked the infantry to come up. I'm afraid it won't work either.
Since the Eighteenth Group Army has deployed anti-aircraft guns here, how could they not know that the anti-aircraft guns are difficult to transport.
Once the infantry rushes forward, the artillery has no combat effectiveness.
Therefore, the adjutant judged that there must be infantry cover from the 18th Army.
If you let your own infantry charge, I'm afraid you won't be able to take advantage.
But if you don’t give it a try, you won’t be willing to give up.
"Don't withdraw for now, let the infantry come up." The commander of the mechanized force said, "Hide all the tanks for now, don't give the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery unit a chance."
"Hai."
In this way, due to the terrifying power of the 88 anti-aircraft gun, the remaining tanks chose to be cowardly and let the infantry charge.
The Japanese infantry regiment did not rush forward stupidly, but carefully sent out pathfinders. Behind the pathfinders were grenade mortars and machine gunners. Once the enemy was discovered, they would provide fire cover at any time.
Behind them are a large number of infantry.
Seeing the Japanese infantry rushing towards him, Wu Ze still sighed a little.
The 88 anti-aircraft gun has a range advantage. It can fire directly from a distance, beating up the little Japanese infantry and leaving them with no chance to get close.
However, the 18th Group Army's raw material resources were scarce, and the 88 anti-aircraft guns it built had to be used on the cutting edge.
After ambushing a hundred enemy planes and sneaking up on tanks, the 88 anti-aircraft gun had very few shells left.
Therefore, facing the charge of the Japanese infantry, we can only rely on the New 1st Brigade and the Independent Brigade.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were not polite when they were attacked by the Japanese infantry.
"Damn it, the 88 anti-aircraft artillery show is over, now it's our turn for the New 1st Brigade." Li Yunlong spat at his men and shouted: "Everyone from the New 1st Brigade, listen to me, kill as many as possible." You little devil, our new brigade can’t overwhelm the number of enemies killed by Kong Er’s independent brigade, do you hear me!”
"Brigadier, don't worry, I promise not to embarrass you." Zhang Dabiao threw his hat and got ready to work.
"Brigade Commander, the equipment of the Independent Brigade is far behind our New First Brigade. If the number of enemy kills is outnumbered, it will be our shame!" Yang Dali shouted.
On the Independent Brigade side, Kong Jie also yelled: "Independence Brigade, although we don't have as many guys as the New 1st Brigade, we still have two shoulders to carry one head, why can't we! Let that boy Li Yunlong do well Look, our independent brigade is inferior to them except for the guys, but everything else is not inferior to them!"
"Brigadier, let's compare the New 1st Brigade, is there any reward?" Shen Quan smiled.
"Don't give me that playful smile." Kong Jie solemnly said, "Although that boy Li Yunlong is not very good in character, he is still a good fighter when it comes to fighting. Don't be careless. Give me some energy and try to suppress this boy. "
"Yes." The morale of the officers of the Independent Brigade was astonishing.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The Japanese infantry arrived at the ambush position and were soon jointly bombarded by the artillery of the Independent Brigade and the New First Brigade. The people who were bombed were immediately turned upside down and suffered heavy casualties.
The Japanese infantry faced a sudden attack. They did not retreat. Even if the terrain was not strong, they immediately gritted their teeth and fought back the fierce firepower.
The enemy and we soon fought together into a pot of porridge.
