Li Yunlong wore a black leather jacket on his upper body.
The senior leaders of the Eighth Route Army, such as Brigadier Chen, Commander Liu, Commander Chen, etc. all like to wear leather jackets.
Although Li Yunlong is still a regiment commander at the moment, he has a large number of main troops, divisional troops, and militia troops combined.
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 officer.
Therefore, Li Yunlong also imitated the big leaders and began to become somewhat fashionable.
Through the 16x artillery scope, Li Yunlong saw two tank battalions of Panther tanks and the 1st Infantry Battalion. The 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 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 there was no 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 Battalion and the Battalion are the most powerful units in the new regiment. With the addition of a tank battalion, 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 one trump card and two.
The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth curled up slightly, and the effect was just as he expected. The enemy's attack on the Panther tank was like scratching an itch, without pain or itch.
However, almost every bombardment of the Panther tank could kill a Japanese machine gun point, and the strafing of the M 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, 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 0 jeeps to the headquarters, leaving the New Regiment with only 0 jeeps.
Otherwise, the firepower configuration of 40 jeeps with a total of 40 light machine guns and 40 M 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 outmatched 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 group, Sun Desheng was ranked second, and no one dared to say he was ranked first.
Not to be outdone in terms of tank skills, not only did his training scores rank among the best, but he also learned a little about tank repairs 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 studying at the military base, Sun Desheng's thoughts and vision have undergone earth-shaking changes.
At this time.
As the commander of the Panther tank, Sun Desheng personally led a tank battalion and was about to enter the position of the Japanese 39th Regiment.
The track of the tank is only 0 meters away from the Japanese forward position. This 0 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. Some Japanese artillerymen used anti-tank guns to attack the tank, but they were bounced away by the tank's armor.
The tank is still moving forward, indicating that the tracks are not damaged.
"Donkey day!"
With a fierce look on his face, Sun Desheng looked through the observation scope and relied on the vague sound of gunfire he just heard, and 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 over 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!"
Seeing the Japanese anti-tank gun emplacement being demolished in the sight of the sight glass, Sun Desheng's lips curled up slightly.
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 M heavy machine gun on the sloped armor on the left side of the front.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are a total of heavy machine guns like this on the Panther tank, respectively on the sloped armor and turret, used to clear 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 M machine gun, and the M 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 instantly torn into pieces by the dense 1.7mm machine gun bullets.
Seeing this scene, Sun Desheng felt reassured. Although the tank soldiers had only been trained for three months and had just graduated from the category of new recruits, this was the first time they had driven a tank into actual combat.
But judging from the current effect, the enemy has no power to parry.
Moreover, this group of Japs is an elite unit of Class A divisions, and they are so inexperienced, so the second-line divisions that fight the Japs will be absolutely crushed.
"The tanks advance steadily and 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 attacks pose no threat to the tanks, but they basically cannot break through the defenses.
The intercoms were interoperable and all the commanders could hear it. 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 will lose their way. Have they forgotten the time when they were beaten and scolded by labor and management when they first learned 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 howling 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 spoke angrily 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 could not break the defense of the Eighth Route Army tanks at all.
The 108th Artillery Regiment was located a few kilometers away from the 39th Regiment.
It stands to reason that even if the artillery regiment cannot destroy most of the Eighth Route Army's 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 positions.
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.
