No wonder Wang Da is angry. In front of the enemy's artillery, no matter how high your tactical literacy or ability, you may end up becoming an uncivilized cannon fodder. The advanced nature of self-propelled artillery is undoubted. Compared with the little devils It can be easily concluded at a glance that the Japs' artillery requires truck pulling or manpower or animal power, and it is very slow to move. For artillery, rapid change of position is the most important point in survivability. This On the other hand, towed artillery is very difficult to execute, while self-propelled artillery is much more convenient. You only need to put away the bracket and it can be transferred immediately. Another very important point is that the supply of ammunition, towed artillery requires additional auxiliary units. Transport for supplies, and self-propelled artillery can be carried on vehicles. Although the number carried is not very large, it is more than enough to deal with a small-scale battle. Wang Dayou can't figure it out. Since our artillery has so many advantages , why don't you shoot with the Japs and destroy the Japs' artillery, then why do the Japs attack? His third battalion can defend for sixty hours, not to mention six hours. It's not a problem.
Wang Dayou was angry, while Li Mazi, the commander of the self-propelled artillery battalion, was depressed. Of course, he was depressed not long before he happily received the order. The combat order given to him by He Zhengjiang through the walkie-talkie was to cooperate with the third regiment and one battalion to repel The Japanese troops attacking Lijia Village,
It turned out that while Wang Dayou's Third Battalion of the First Regiment was fighting fiercely with the Japs, the 18th Brigade of the Japanese Ninth Division was attacking the Lijia Village between Huairou and Changping with the cooperation of a tank brigade. At Jiatunzi, He Zhengjiang originally arranged for three regiments and three battalions to defend. Among them, the third battalion of the Chariot Regiment was also there. But even so, against the Japanese army of the previous brigade, these few men and horses were too few, and it was fatal. Yes, the civilian team that was mobilized to retreat in Changping happened to be there at this time. In this way, in order to ensure the safety of the civilians, the Third Battalion no longer passively defended, but also needed to take the initiative, because only in this way can it be possible to win for the civilians to retreat. time and space,
The Japanese army's attack on Lijia Village was not because of the civilians. Its real purpose was obviously to cut off the connection between Huairou and Changping. However, it wiped out the entire mechanized infantry brigade.
There is only a distance of more than thirty miles between Changping and Lijia Village. The third regiment and one battalion serve as the guard force of the self-propelled artillery battalion. After half an hour of rapid march, the two troops have approached the battlefield. At this time, the tank troops of both sides are in progress. Fighting to the death, and behind the chariot troops of both sides, the infantry also began to join the battlefield.
The tanks equipped by the Japanese army are still mainly Chilo, supplemented by Douzhan, and then some relatively simple armored vehicles. Such tanks are naturally no match for various types of Jiguang tanks. The two sides faced each other, and the third battalion of the tank regiment Twelve Jiguang tanks achieved a score of 5 to 0, and one Douzhan was directly dismembered.
The commander of the Japanese 18th Brigade is Major General Nobutoki Isho, who is a commander with very rich experience in actual combat. It can be seen that the tanks on both sides are not at the same level at all. If the tank troops are allowed to fend for themselves, , it is estimated that the entire army will be destroyed in the end. Once the effective support of the tanks is lost, how can the remaining infantry rely on dealing with those steel monsters? Because of the lessons learned from the past, this time the Japanese army is equipped with a certain number of anti-tanks. Weapons, however, in order to speed up the march, the Ninth Division did not bring anti-tank guns, but only carried some relatively lightweight anti-tank mines and anti-tank guns. But according to Jing Shu's estimation, these were not even able to be used by Quirrell. If you want to use anti-tank guns to restrain the cadet military tanks you are dealing with, it is simply impossible.
Jingshu Xuanshi is very self-aware. Compared with the model when it was first released, the armor has been thickened by five centimeters due to the replacement of a more powerful engine. This kind of armor thickness is not to mention anti-tank. Guns, even anti-tank guns, must be replaced with special anti-tank shells to be effective.
Anti-tank mines can work, but the problem is that the 18th Brigade is the attacker and the Xuebing Army is the defender. Will they take the initiative to come over and step on your mines? All fools understand this. Therefore, Jing Shuxuan seizes At the right time, before our own tanks were completely annihilated, we decisively organized a group of death squads to pounce on the tanks of the Xuebing Army, hoping to use human bombs to eliminate the biggest threat to our own side.
Hundreds of human bombs rushed towards the Chariot Battalion. Zhang Xiaomu, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the Third Regiment, became anxious when he saw it. He hurriedly ordered the entire attack. The Third Battalion of the Chariot must be aware of these human bombs.
As soon as the infantry from both sides pressed forward, the disadvantage of the Xuebing Army was immediately obvious. Also, there were more than 5,000 people in one brigade, which was ten times the number of soldiers of the Xuebing Army here. If there was a distance between the two sides, the Xuebing Army would be at a disadvantage. With a sharp weapon, you can suppress it for a while, but once you get close, it's no longer possible.
Seeing that the crowd of Japs was about to swamp the Third Regiment and the Third Chariot Battalion, at the critical moment, Li Mazi and his cannons came into play. For safety reasons, Li Mazi first tried firing a cannon in person. It hit the tail of the 18th Brigade. He was controlling a 150mm howitzer. Once the shell exploded, it would immediately dismember about a dozen Japanese soldiers within a few dozen meters of the surrounding area. The sound of the heavy artillery was loud. Similarly, the power of tank guns is incomparable. With an earth-shattering sound, the soldiers on both sides, except for those who were already red-eyed and risking their lives, could not help but freeze on the spot. Then, three regiments and three The soldiers of the battalion cheered: "Our cannon." The little devils of the 18th Brigade panicked. First, the mountain artillery brigade at the back of the team fell into panic. As artillerymen, they were too sensitive to the explosion of artillery shells. , they immediately heard that the Chinese people on the opposite side were using heavy artillery. The mountain artillery brigade was already depressed enough. At first, they wanted to bombard the enemy tanks, but after more than a dozen shells were fired, the opponent's tanks were unharmed. , then, they stopped helplessly, and could only watch the infantry fill it with flesh and blood. However, what they did not expect was that the Chinese not only dispatched such iron-cased tanks, but also behind them. heavy artillery,
Li Mazi had already seen the little Japanese's mountain artillery, and the shot he just fired was aimed at the opponent's artillery position. Under the guidance of his first test-fired artillery shell, more heavy artillery began to roar, and more heavy artillery fired. The large cannonballs poured in, and in just five minutes, they tore the eight mountain cannons and their gunners into pieces.
The sudden bombardment caused Jing Shuxuan to fall into a huge panic. He began to wonder: Could it be that the Chinese chariot troops were just decoys? Thousands of Chinese troops had already been deployed around him.
No wonder Jing Shuxuan had this idea, because based on his understanding of the Chinese army, especially the student army, the troops that could be equipped with heavy artillery were definitely divisions or above. So, fearing that he would be surrounded and annihilated, he immediately ordered The whole army retreated,
What he never dreamed of was that he would actually fall into the encirclement of the Xuebing Army.
