Ririn detachment headquarters.
All the Japanese officers, including the detachment leader, all looked solemn.
As soon as the new regiment's tanks appeared on the battlefield, the 39th Regiment Headquarters reported the news to Tadamichi Kuribayashi.
However, no one in the 39th Regiment knew what kind of tanks the new regiment was equipped with.
Only the number is known to be approximately one tank regiment.
The Eighth Route Army actually had tanks, and the number was a tank regiment, which was beyond the expectations of all the Japanese!
"Detachment leader, although the new regiment's equipment of a tank regiment is unexpected..."
The chief of staff of the Lilin detachment analyzed: "However, this may be a good thing for the Locust Army."
"Um?"
Tadashi Kuribayashi looked at the chief of staff and wondered secretly, are you out of your mind? The Eighth Route Army equipped with tanks actually said it was a good thing for the Locust Army?
The chief of staff continued his analysis: "Tanks are definitely Li Yunlong's trump card. Li Yunlong used tanks to attack the 39th Regiment's position as soon as he came up, which shows that Li Yunlong has been fooled. Next, he only needs to use the 13th Tank Regiment to deal with Xinyi The regiment’s tanks, cavalry regiment, 39th Infantry Regiment, and 62nd Infantry Regiment will definitely be able to defeat the Eighth Route Army!”
Kuribayashi Tadashi nodded, he thought so too.
tank?
There are also locust armies.
Moreover, it is also the elite 13th Tank Regiment. The tank soldiers of this tank regiment have participated in almost all major battles against the national army and have rich combat experience.
According to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army does have a tank unit, but the number is not large.
A tank regiment suddenly appeared, which really shocked Kuribayashi Tadashi and the Japanese officers.
However, after calming down, Kuribayashi Tadamichi and the Japanese officers became calm again. No matter how you put it, this battle was a calculated one or not, and the Locust Army had a great advantage.
The 13th Tank Regiment faced the enemy head-on, while the 13th Cavalry Regiment circled behind and harvested, relying on the combat power of the 39th Infantry Regiment and the 62nd Regiment, plus the artillery support of the 108th Field Artillery Regiment.
It will definitely be able to defeat or even severely damage the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
Ding ding ding ding——
The phone rang. The communications staff member picked up the phone and put it to his ear:
"Moxi, this is the command post."
"Nani?"
"I'll report to the detachment leader right now."
The communications staff officer covered the microphone and reported to Ribayashi Tadashi: "The communications captain of the 39th Regiment reports that the Eighth Route Army has broken into the 39th Regiment's position. The Locust Army has suffered heavy casualties. Please ask for tactical guidance!"
Tadashi Kuribayashi and several staff members were dumbfounded, and suddenly felt a little unbelievable. Did the Eighth Route Army attack so fast?
In order to prevent exposure, they were discovered by the scouts of the Eighth Route Army. Whether it was the 13th Cavalry Regiment, the Chariot Regiment or the 62nd Infantry Regiment, they were located four kilometers away from the 39th Infantry Regiment.
The order from the detachment headquarters was to wait for the tank regiment, cavalry regiment and infantry regiment to press forward as soon as the sound of gunfire stopped.
How long has it been now? Just tell me that the 39th Wing is about to be defeated and ask for tactical guidance?
Isn't the 39th Regiment an elite regiment of the 10th Division? Why is it so vulnerable? Are the anti-tank guns and anti-tank guns in the hands of soldiers fire sticks?
Kuribayashi Tadamichi's face was gloomy, he pushed away the communications staff officer, grabbed the phone and put it to his ear: "I am Kuribayashi Tadamichi, tell Suzuki Eisuke the left, the 13th Cavalry Regiment, the 13th Tank Regiment and the 62nd Infantry Regiment. The team is on the way, the 39th Wing must hold its position!"
After finishing speaking, Tadamichi Kuribayashi hung up the phone with a bang.
Then he looked at the chief of staff: "Immediately report the situation here to Lieutenant General Tanabe Moritake at the frontline headquarters!"
"Hi!"
The chief of staff paused, quickly took out a pen and paper to draft a telegram, and then asked the telegraph soldier to send out the contents of the telegram.
…
"idiot!"
In the 39th Wing Headquarters, Eisuke Suzuki couldn't help but curse after listening to the communications captain's report.
If the Cavalry Regiment and the Chariot Regiment don't come and the fighting continues, the 39th Regiment will be handed over here.
The hand-to-hand combat that the soldiers of the 39th Regiment were proud of was useless.
The individual firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too strong, and it is impossible for them to fight hand-to-hand with the soldiers of the 39th Regiment. Even in small-scale hand-to-hand combat, the Eighth Route Army soldiers will not fall behind.
This made Suzuki Eisuke and the Japanese officers in the wing headquarters around him unable to help but doubt their lives.
The soldiers of the Class A Division have almost brought the spirit of Bushido to the extreme. A soldier has been baptized in Bushido repeatedly since joining the army and training. Even the national education has continuously instilled the spirit of Bushido. These Japanese soldiers have been fighting against the Locust Army for decades. , remain loyal to the Empire.
If you think that these soldiers only have the spirit of Bushido and only know how to die, you are totally wrong.
They are a group of professional soldiers, well-trained, with superb marksmanship and superb stabbing skills.
Coupled with the brainwashed Bushido spirit of not fearing death, this group of Japanese soldiers are extremely powerful in combat.
However, in the face of the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were equally skilled in tactics, whose fighting will was not inferior to the Bushido spirit, and who were well-equipped, the 39th Regiment was at a disadvantage visibly to the naked eye.
Suzuki Eisuke couldn't help but show a trace of anxiety on his face. In less than half an hour at most, the 39th Regiment would be wiped out by the Eighth Route New Group.
Although the artillery observers of the 108th Artillery Regiment were about to arrive, the 39th Regiment and the Eighth Route Army were already strangled together at this time. If they fired at this time, they would also blow up the Locust Army soldiers.
Suddenly, the rumble of horse hooves sounded in Suzuki Eisuke's ears.
He quickly raised his binoculars and looked over.
I saw the Japanese cavalry coming from the flank towards the rear flank of the Eighth Route Army. Suzuki Eisuke looked overjoyed. The 13th Cavalry Regiment finally appeared.
Change source app]
But soon, Suzuki Eisuke's face suddenly stiffened.
Because a group of Eighth Route Army cavalry also rushed out from the opposite side, the number was about half that of the 13th Cavalry Regiment.
However, when the 13th Cavalry Regiment saw the Eighth Route Cavalry approaching, they ignored the position of the 39th Regiment and charged towards the Eighth Route Cavalry.
"Baga, Yuuo Nishizawa, this idiot!"
Suzuki Eisuke couldn't help but cursed when he saw this scene.
Compared with the cavalry regiment, the tank regiment arrived at a slower speed. If the tank regiment arrived one minute later, the 39th Regiment would fall more soldiers.
…
Captain Nishizawa Yongxiong of the 13th Cavalry Regiment originally led the cavalry regiment to insert forcefully from the rear to attack the infantry of the Eighth Route Army.
But the Eighth Route Army was actually equipped with tanks, which Nishizawa Yongxiong and Zuo never expected.
Under the guidance of tanks, the Eighth Route Army soldiers had already invaded the position of the 39th Regiment. The two sides were entangled, and there was no point in the cavalry attacking the Eighth Route Army infantry.
Moreover, the Eighth Route Army has tanks. Isn’t it asking for death to let the cavalry attack the tanks?
At this time, Nishizawa Yongxiong saw the Eighth Route Army cavalry charging towards the 13th Cavalry Regiment.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Yongxiong Nishizawa, who had suffered heavy losses from the Eighth Route Army cavalry and hated the Eighth Route Army cavalry, immediately led the cavalrymen of the 13th Cavalry Regiment to kill the Eighth Route Army cavalry.
"Kill me!"
Under his crotch was a sturdy Japanese horse. Looking at the surging Eighth Route Army cavalry on the opposite side, Nishizawa Yuongxiong was overjoyed.
The number of the Eighth Route Cavalry was only about half of our own.
Last time at Niangziguan, the cavalry numbers of both sides were equal, and the 13th Cavalry Regiment led by Nishizawa Yongxiong returned with a heavy defeat.
He has an absolute advantage in military strength this time, and he wants to avenge his past humiliation, today!
Whether chasing cavalry and shooting, or charging and slashing with sabers, he believed that the winner was definitely his cavalry. After the Eighth Route Army cavalry was dealt with, he would then deal with the Eighth Route Army infantry.
Under his order, the Japanese cavalrymen screamed strangely, urging their horses to rush towards the Eighth Route Army cavalry, surging away like a tidal wave.
suddenly.
The Eighth Route Army cavalry on the opposite side began to slow down until it stopped within 1 kilometer away from the Japanese cavalry, then turned around and fled.
This was not unexpected by Yuuo Nishizawa.
The number of cavalry in the Eighth Route Army was less than half, and the charge and saber were slashing. Even though the saber had an advantage, the force was at an absolute disadvantage.
The wisest way for the Eighth Route Army cavalry is to chase and shoot with the Japanese cavalry.
However, a sneer appeared on the corner of Nishizawa Yuxiong's mouth. Is it too late to start chasing and riding and shooting at this time?
When the Eighth Route Army cavalry stopped and then turned around and accelerated, the distance between the Japanese cavalry and the Eighth Route Army cavalry was reduced to within 300 meters.
"Kill me!"
Nishizawa Yongxiong inserted the command sword into the scabbard, took a Type 44 rifle from a cavalryman next to him, and loaded it with a clatter.
The Japanese cavalrymen took off their Type 44 rifles from their backs one after another and loaded them with ammunition.
However…
Before the Japs could shoot, they heard a dense muffled sound like a cloth tearing machine, followed by a series of Japs cavalrymen on their backs.
The Japanese cavalry who were charging at high speed fell down in pieces like dry grass encountering a sharp sickle.
"Nani?"
Nishizawa Yongxiong looked in the direction where the gunfire came from, and suddenly became furious.
I saw about 20 cars appearing behind the Eighth Route Army cavalry. Each car was equipped with a light machine gun and a heavy machine gun. It was these machine guns that were shooting at his cavalry.
In just this moment, dozens of Japanese cavalrymen had fallen.
Because the machine gun is facing the Japanese cavalry, the shooting range is very wide, and the cavalry target is large, so it can perfectly utilize the firepower of light and heavy machine guns.
"idiot!"
"Kill me!"
Nishizawa Yongxiong roared, raised his rifle and fired, while riding his horse forward in pursuit.
The Eighth Route Army's car started to move. As the car drove forward, the muffled sound of machine guns continued. With the continuous muffled sound of machine guns, the 13th Cavalry Regiment fell in pieces.
At this time, while the Eighth Route Cavalry was walking the little Japs, they set their carbine rifles back and shot at the Japs cavalry.
The continuous firepower advantage of the carbine and 40 machine guns was instantly highlighted.
Nishizawa Yongxiong's eyes suddenly burst.
After all, there was insufficient firepower. Although the Japanese cavalry was also firing, the Eighth Route Army cavalry was only shot down and dismounted in twos and threes, while his cavalry regiment kept falling in pieces, just like being cut wheat.
The cavalry battalion commander Cao Jiang looked at the fallen Japanese cavalry in the rear and smiled coldly.
The regiment leader’s method works best. The regiment leader has many clever ideas in fighting wars!
Cavalry charge and chop?
Little devil, times have changed.
Wouldn't it be nice to blast it with a machine gun?
