New regiment headquarters.
Li Yunlong wore a black leather jacket on his upper body.
Major leaders of the Eighth Route Army, such as Brigadier Chen, Commander Liu, and Commander Chen, all like to wear leather jackets.
Although Li Yunlong is still a regiment commander, he has a large number of main troops, divisional troops, and militia troops under his command.
The troops are well-equipped and powerful in combat, and they are directly under the headquarters. Li Yunlong's strength can be regarded as a high-ranking official.
Therefore, Li Yunlong also imitated the big leaders and began to become somewhat fashionable.
Through the 16x artillery scope, Li Yunlong saw that two tank battalions of Panther tanks and the 1st and 2nd infantry battalions were already pressing forward.
Before the war, the units of the New Regiment conducted in-depth pre-war mobilization:
The target of this attack is the Japs from the Japanese Army's Type A Division. These Japs are extremely powerful in combat and have very accurate marksmanship. They must follow the tanks without showing their heads. At the same time, they must protect the tanks from the Japs approaching with explosives. Wait until the tanks bring them with them. As the infantry breaks into the position, the infantry's individual firepower has an advantage.
Although they had not received special infantry-tank coordination training, the soldiers of the first and second battalions all followed the tanks without showing their heads, and also protected the tanks from being blown up by Japanese infantry.
There are nearly 4,000 Japanese soldiers in the 39th Regiment. The 1st and 2nd Battalions are the most powerful troops in the new regiment. Together with the two tank battalions, Li Yunlong is confident that he can defeat the Japanese 39th Regiment in one attack.
Therefore, Li Yunlong did not test the attack, but pressed an ace and two 2s.
The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth curled up slightly, and the effect was just as he expected. The enemy's attack on the Leopard Tank was like scratching an itch, neither painful nor itchy.
However, almost every bombardment of the Leopard tank could kill a Japanese machine gun point, and the strafing of the M2 heavy machine gun made the Japanese in the trench unable to raise their heads.
Suddenly, Li Yunlong heard a faint rumbling sound in his ears.
Li Yunlong hurriedly turned the artillery team in one direction, and saw more than a thousand Japanese cavalry coming from a few kilometers away towards the flank of the attacking force.
The 13th Cavalry Regiment was dispatched. Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and immediately ordered: "Give me the order, jeep platoon and cavalry battalion, give me a good greeting to the Japanese!"
After receiving Li Yunlong's order, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and conveyed the order to the jeep platoon and cavalry battalion.
Chen Feng gave a total of 40 jeeps to the New Regiment, but Li Yunlong handed over 20 jeeps to the headquarters, so the New Regiment only had 20 jeeps.
Otherwise, the firepower configuration of 40 jeeps with a total of 40 light machine guns and 40 M2 heavy machine guns would be enough for the Japanese cavalry unit to drink a big pot.
As the order from the regiment headquarters was issued, the cavalry battalion commander Cao Jiang led the cavalry battalion and jeep platoon, and pierced the Japanese cavalry like an arrow from the string.
…
Four Leopard tanks from the battalion headquarters led by Sun Desheng also participated in the battle.
Although he only had three months of training at Boss Chen's overseas base, Sun Desheng worked very hard and spent more time on training than others.
Because he is the leader of a battalion, if his ability is outperformed by others, it will be difficult to convince the crowd and it will be difficult to lead the team.
In terms of riding skills, in the New Regiment he, Sun Desheng, was ranked second, and no one dared to be ranked first.
Not to be outdone in terms of tank skills, he not only ranked among the best in training, but also learned a little bit about repairing tanks from the technicians at the military base.
After seeing hundreds of tanks at Boss Chen's military base, Sun Desheng knew that the cavalry unit would be eliminated sooner or later, and that future wars would be dominated by tanks.
Times have changed.
Sun Desheng knew very well that if he wanted to win the war and drive away the Japanese as soon as possible, airplanes and tanks were indispensable.
After three months of study at the military base, Sun Desheng's thoughts and vision have undergone earth-shaking changes.
At this time.
As the commander of the Leopard tank, Sun Desheng personally led two tank battalions and was about to enter the position of the Japanese 39th Regiment.
The track of the tank is only 50 meters away from the Japanese forward position. This 50 meter distance only takes tens of seconds to attack the advancing tank.
Suddenly, the front armor of the tank made a clanking sound, and the tank trembled slightly. A Japanese artilleryman used an anti-tank gun to attack the tank, but it was bounced away by the tank's armor.
The tank was still moving forward, indicating that the tracks were not damaged.
"Donkey day!"
Sun Desheng looked fierce, looking through the sight of the sight glass and relying on the vague sound of gunfire he just heard, he quickly found an anti-tank gun position of the Japanese.
"1 o'clock direction, 70 meters away, Japanese anti-tank position, kill it for me!"
The gunner's name is Li Fushan. When he was a cavalryman, he was very good at riding. He once killed three Japanese soldiers with a Yunlong knife on horseback. When he was studying at an overseas military base, he accidentally discovered that he was talented in gunnery and became a tank commander at the battalion headquarters. gunner.
】
Under Sun Desheng's order, Li Fushan quickly turned the muzzle of the gun, aimed at the Japanese anti-tank gun position, and then stepped on the tank gun firing pedal.
"Pass!"
At the same time as the more than 40-ton tank suddenly shook, high-explosive shells had been fired and hit the Japanese anti-tank gun position.
With a loud bang, the Type 94 37mm anti-tank gun and the three Japanese artillerymen surrounding it flew into the sky in an instant.
"Nice fight!"
Sun Desheng's lips curled up slightly when he saw the Japanese anti-tank gun emplacement being demolished in the sight of the observation mirror.
So far, not a single tank has been lost, and the new infantry regiment has suffered very few losses, while at least a few hundred Japs have been killed. This is the advantage of tanks.
Suddenly, Sun Desheng saw figures moving in front of him. Several Japanese soldiers seemed to be holding something in their arms, rushing out of the trench and approaching the tank.
Sun Desheng looked serious: "Right ahead, there is a Japanese soldier holding explosives. Shunzi, kill him for me!"
At this time, the tank was only 30 meters away from the trench.
The machine gunner's name is Wang Laishun, and he operates the M2 heavy machine gun on the slope armor on the left side of the front.
There are two heavy machine guns like this on the Panther tank, one on the sloped armor and one on the turret, used for mopping up infantry and air defense.
At the same time that Sun Desheng gave the order, Shunzi had already seen the Japanese holding the explosive bag.
These Japanese soldiers holding explosive bags were extremely agile, but they were of no use.
Shunzi pressed the shooting weight of the M2 machine gun, and the M2 heavy machine gun suddenly screamed wildly. The bullet chain equipped with machine gun bullets was continuously eaten into the gun chamber, and the bullets split into two parts. The eggshells were thrown into the tank, but the warheads melted. A stream of light shot towards the Japanese dozens of meters away.
Through the observation hole, Sun Desheng saw several Japanese soldiers walking coquettishly, and they were torn into pieces by the dense 12.7mm machine gun bullets in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Sun Desheng was reassured. Although the tank soldiers had only been trained for three months and had just graduated from the category of recruits, this was the first time they had driven a tank into actual combat.
But judging from the current effect, the enemy is completely powerless to parry.
Moreover, this group of Japs is an elite unit of Class A divisions, and they are so inexperienced. The second-line divisions that fight the Japs are absolutely crushed.
"The tanks advance steadily, don't lose touch with the infantry!"
"When this battle is over, labor and management will treat everyone to a drink!"
Sun Desheng called with a walkie-talkie. Each tank has a walkie-talkie, which is in the hands of the tank commander to facilitate cooperation between tanks and communication between superiors and subordinates.
"Battal Commander, I want to drink sweet potato roast!"
"I want a beer!"
The relaxed voices of the two tank commanders came from Sun Desheng's headset. The enemy's attack was not a threat to the tank, but it basically could not break the defense.
The walkie-talkies are interoperable and can be heard by all the commanders. Immediately, a burst of laughter came from the headset.
"Cheer up your labor and management. If anyone falls out of line, labor and management will kill him!"
Sun Desheng immediately cursed, these guys, if you give them a little sweetness, they can't find the north. Have they forgotten the time when they were beaten and scolded by labor and management when they were learning riding skills?
Seeing that the battalion commander was angry, the vehicle commanders quickly cheered up and directed the tanks to continue the attack.
There were Japanese soldiers outside the trenches who were still alive and wailing in pain. The driver drove the tank towards the Japanese soldiers deliberately, and the tracks ran over them mercilessly.
Accompanied by extremely miserable Japanese screams, after the tank ran over, there was only a puddle of meat on the ground.
…
"Baga, Yalu!"
In the headquarters of the 39th Regiment Commander, seeing the tanks of the Eighth Route Army as if they were in a deserted area, Regiment Commander Suzuki Eisuke Dazuo sounded angry and his eyes were spitting fire.
The several staff officers around him were a little stupid, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
The Eighth Route Army was actually equipped with tanks?
These mud-legged people in the ravine are actually equipped with tanks?
Moreover, the anti-tank guns and 37mm anti-tank guns equipped by the 39th Regiment cannot break the defense of the Eighth Route Army tanks at all.
"Bagaya road!"
Eisuke Suzuki cursed fiercely again: "Why hasn't the 108th Artillery Regiment fired yet?"
The 108th Artillery Regiment was located a few kilometers away from the 39th Regiment.
It stands to reason that even if the artillery wing cannot destroy most of the Eighth Route Army tanks, it can at least block the attack of the Eighth Route Army tanks and even cause a wave of damage to the Eighth Route Army infantry.
However, from the time the Eighth Route Army tanks appeared to the time they approached the forward position, the 108th Artillery Regiment in the rear has not moved yet.
"what is going on?"
The staff officer picked up the phone and made a call. After a while, the staff officer put down the phone: "Report to the commander, the 108th Artillery Wing said that their observation post on the flank was hit by a shell, and new observers are on the way."
"Baga, the 108th Artillery Regiment is a bunch of idiots. Don't you know how to set up more observation posts?!"
"It's too late for the artillery observer to arrive now!"
Suzuki Eisuke Daizuo said coldly.
A group of Japanese staff officers quickly raised their telescopes and looked towards the forward position.
Countless Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed out from behind the tanks. These Eighth Route Army soldiers wore steel helmets on their heads and poured into the 39th Regiment's position like gray waves.
The Japanese soldiers of the 39th Regiment came forward with bayonets in hand, but these Eighth Route Army soldiers did not enter the position to fight with bayonets.
Under intense machine gun and submachine gun fire from eight directions, the soldiers of the 39th Regiment who were about to rush forward to fight with bayonets fell one by one.
"Request tactical guidance from Major General Kuribayashi immediately!"
Putting down the telescope, Lin Murongzhu Zuo had a gloomy face and said angrily.
