Chapter 464: Turn all the Japanese into adults!(1/2)
It takes dozens of 10mm shells to destroy the turret.
Two flamethrowers sprayed fire from the shooting holes and the barbecue was completed.
When Zhang Dabiao and Yao Shangwen rushed over, the flames inside the turret were still burning.
The two of them looked at the Japs' corpses that were gradually being burned on the ground, with a look of surprise on their expressions.
"This flamethrower is quite powerful!"
Zhang Dabiao sounded emotional.
As early as a year ago, the New Regiment was equipped with this flamethrower.
But at that time, most of the enemy's turrets and bunkers were made of masonry. The new regiment at that time was already equipped with 7mm mountain cannons. After a few shots, the enemy's turrets and bunkers were destroyed.
Even if the Japanese built some reinforced concrete strongholds in southeastern Shanxi, they were knocked down by bazooka rocket launchers.
The power of the bazooka rocket launcher is much greater than that of the 7mm mountain gun.
Therefore, even if the new regiment is equipped with flamethrowers, there are probably more than 10 of them, they are only used to clean up the battlefield after the bombardment.
Didn't get enough attention.
Now facing the Japanese thickened bunkers and gun towers, the power of the flamethrower was fully revealed.
Of course, the mixed use of heavy artillery high-explosive shells and mortar smoke grenades can greatly reduce casualties. The commanders of the Eighth Route Army are good at summing up experience in battles.
In this battle, very few bullets were consumed, and almost no grenades were consumed. 10mm artillery shells and more than 0 smoke grenades were fired.
"This thing is pretty awesome!"
Staring at the burned corpse of the Japanese, with some flames still burning on it, Yao Shangwen nodded.
The pain of being burned to death, as if your soul is being burned, is not comparable to the pain of being injured by bullets and cannonballs.
However, Yao Shangwen had no sympathy or mercy for the little devil, and he must not be merciful when dealing with the little devil.
If the Japs hadn't been covered by thickened turrets, one of his 10mm high-explosive shells would have blown a large area of Japs into pieces.
Yao Shangwen smiled again and said, "Now all the little devils have become acquaintances."
Zhang Dabiao immediately grinned when he heard this. This metaphor is really vivid, isn't it? All the Japanese were roasted.
Then, Zhang Dabiao said loudly: "Give me the order to move forward and attack the next Japanese fortification. Today we will turn all the Japanese in the bunkers and gun towers into adults!"
With this experience of taking down the Japanese thickened artillery platoon, Zhang Dabiao suddenly felt confident.
A flamethrower, a 10mm howitzer, and smoke grenades can't deal with the enemy's thickened bunkers and turrets?
Under Zhang Dabiao's order, the soldiers had high morale, and the First Battalion and the Heavy Artillery Battalion continued to advance.
At the same time, Zhang Dabiao reported his experience in attacking gun towers to the regiment headquarters.
This combat experience must be promoted as soon as possible. After all, they are not the only ones who attack the Japanese thickened bunkers and gun towers.
Because the Japanese thickened bunkers and gun towers were basically built along the highway, and one every 00 to 800 meters.
But the heavy artillery of the new regiment could only maneuver along the road.
Therefore, small groups of troops from each division surrounded most of the thickened bunkers and gun towers from the alleys, but did not attack them.
Wait for the main force to attack them one by one with flamethrowers and heavy artillery.
The Sharp Sword Squadron had already cut off the Japs' phone lines. Although the Japs in the county would notice something unusual, they would definitely not know what happened.
…
Taiyuan.
First Army Headquarters.
"General, are you looking for me?"
Yamamoto Kazuki walked into Iwamatsu Yoshio's office, paused with his feet together and asked.
"Yamamoto-kun, are you here?"
Iwamatsu Yoshio raised his head when he heard this and looked at Yamamoto Kazuki:
"This is a telegram just sent by the ordnance officer of the base camp. The ordnance officers attach great importance to the drawings of your big horn weapon."
"However, with just a drawing and no physical reference, it would be difficult for ordnance experts to create a weapon out of thin air. This would take at least several years."
"So the ordnance officer hopes that the First Army can grab one of these weapons from the Eighth Route Army, and it's best to grab a few shells as well."
"If we can submit weapons and artillery shells, it will take at most a few months for ordnance experts to copy them."
During World War II, the Japanese army also developed anti-tank rocket launchers, but that was only in the later stages of World War II.
After Japan learned that the German army had a tank killer, it also requested technical support from Germany through diplomatic channels.
In 1943, German submarines sent drawings and actual objects of the rpzb43 tank nightmare rocket launcher.
These things made the Japanese army, which was devastated by American tanks at the time, very happy, thinking that they could easily destroy American tanks.
However, rockets are difficult to produce. Due to its low technical level, Japan is unable to produce high-quality rocket propellants. The thrust of rockets is insufficient and the hit rate is extremely low.
Yamamoto Kazuki suddenly understood: "General, do you mean to let the special agent team snatch a weapon and artillery shell from the Eighth Route Army?"
"That's right!" Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded, "The Eighth Route Army takes this weapon very seriously and it is extremely difficult to obtain. There is very little information about it. I estimate that the Eighth Route Army does not have much equipment, and only Li Yunlong's troops are equipped with it.
If Yamamoto-kun can get more, it will be a great achievement for the empire."
"Hey, the special agent team will definitely complete the mission!"
Yamamoto Kazuki felt slightly happy and immediately agreed.
He has long wanted to go on a mission, but he has been kept by Iwamatsu Yoshio for security work. How can he make achievements and avenge General Shinozuka Yoshio?
Yamamoto Kazuki's eyes flashed sharply, Li Yunlong, right? I'll take your head.
"For this mission, Yamamoto-kun should go to southeastern Shanxi, not northwest Shanxi."
Iwamatsu Yoshio saw what Yamamoto Kazuki was thinking, and then said.
When Yamamoto Kazuki heard this, his face suddenly stiffened slightly:
"General, as you just said, the Eighth Route Army in southeast Shanxi does not have many troops equipped with this weapon. The ones equipped with the most weapons are Li Yunlong's troops."
"The troops who go to northwest Shanxi to attack the Eighth Route Army are more likely to complete their mission."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There is no need to go to northwest Shanxi." Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "According to the latest intelligence received, the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi attacked a stronghold near Xiyang County. This
The strongholds are reinforced concrete bunkers and gun towers, and the Eighth Route Army there used the new weapons you mentioned."
Yamamoto Kazuki couldn't help but his face darkened slightly when he heard this. It seemed that there were quite a few troops in the Eighth Route Army equipped with this new weapon.
Judging from the situation of the Eighth Route Army, especially the New Regiment, fighting the Japanese army, this weapon can deal with gun towers and bunkers, tanks, and even infantry. It is very powerful and has caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army.
If the Eighth Route Army is equipped with too many of these weapons, it will pose a great threat to the Japanese army.
Iwamatsu Yoshio continued: "I have ordered the defenders of Xiyang County to re-build strongholds there. The bunkers and gun towers are made of reinforced concrete. The Eighth Route Army will definitely attack again!"
"General, you mean fishing?"
Yamamoto Kazuki immediately understood Iwamatsu Yoshio's thoughts.
"That's right, you take the special team there and wait for the Eighth Route Army to attack suddenly."
"As for Li Yunlong... in at most two months, when the Kwantung Army is free, it only needs to mobilize one or two Class A divisions to severely damage or even eliminate Li Yunlong."
Iwamatsu Yoshio's eyes flashed slightly, and his tone was murderous.
"Hi!" Kazuki Yamamoto lowered his head and slightly restrained his murderous intention towards Li Yunlong.
The base camp was actually considering removing the Class A division to deal with Li Yunlong, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. Four imperial major generals and three lieutenant generals died in the hands of Li Yunlong. The base camp will definitely take tough measures sooner or later.
Yamamoto Kazuki recognized the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Class A Division.
Even if Li Yunlong's troops are equipped with advanced foreign weapons and have extremely powerful combat effectiveness, they will never be able to match the Empire's Class A Division. After all, the strength gap between the two sides is not at the same level.
It is an honor for Li Yunlong and the new regiment to be able to force the Imperial Class A Division to take action.
At this moment, the intelligence staff came in and said to Yoshio Iwamatsu: "General, we have just received the top-secret information that the China Central Military Guard Lihuang Department is deploying troops and generals and distributing ammunition."
"Nani?"
Iwamatsu Yoshio changed slightly, took the telegram from the intelligence staff and read it.
