Du Yang understands these principles, but understanding is understanding, but if these anti-tank trenches are not solved, how can the armored cavalry division defeat so many Japanese? Thinking of the weak armor and firepower of those light tanks, Du Yang feels a little helpless.
At the end of the day, one of the few Type 81 light tanks requires a little more time because of its excellent armor steel performance.
It's better, but the number is too small. As for the Type 95 light tank, which can penetrate its so-called "armor" with rifle steel-core bullets at close range, Du Yang has no idea how the division commander can use them instead of his own command.
These big guys (relatively speaking) came to solve the Japanese anti-tank trenches, full of curiosity...
Seeing that the two armored cavalry regiments did not directly attack the Japanese positions, but quickly deployed towards the two wings while keeping a distance to avoid being hit by the Japanese anti-tank firepower. Du Yang couldn't help but thought, "Yes, the enemy is facing us.
The position has been built, but where are the flanks?"
As Du Yang thought, although the anti-tank trench facing the Japanese army was completed, due to the rush for time, manpower was concentrated on the front of the position. Therefore, the farther to the sides, the slower the anti-tank trench was dug, and the
At present, the completed anti-tank trench is actually a bit short.
After the two armored cavalry regiments detoured around the enemy's flanks, that is, the two ends of the trench that was still being dug, they immediately changed their previous cautious attitude and boldly cut in with the support of self-propelled artillery shelling, causing the Japanese army to fight hard.
The trench dug out as quickly as possible with all our strength immediately lost its effectiveness. Seeing this, tens of thousands of people who stayed on the front line
The Japanese had no choice but to retreat to the preliminarily completed second line of defense, but in the process the Japanese inevitably suffered heavy casualties. Although the tanks and armored vehicles of the two armored cavalry regiments were generally thin-skinned, they initially chased the Japanese.
Secondly, the Type 81 light tank with thin armor but great strength rushed in front, so the losses were minimal.
But even so, a considerable number of the Japanese successfully retreated to the second line of defense not far away. Because the Japanese defense lines all started digging at the same time after discovering the armored cavalry division's attack, the second anti-tank trench was
It is longer and wider than the first trench. However, no matter how long the trench is, it still has two ends. And with light
Large tanks and armored vehicles can reach high speeds of more than 30 kilometers per hour even when off-road. It only took the two armored cavalry regiments less than 1 minute longer than the last time to easily disintegrate the Japanese second line of defense, followed by the third
Road, the fourth line of defense was also easily defeated by the flanks of two armored cavalry regiments.
During this period, another problem with the Japanese position was also exposed. These anti-tank trenches were dug to prevent frontal impact of enemy tanks. Now that the enemy has moved to the side, the anti-tank trenches at the rear of the Japanese army must also be significantly modified. However,
A partially completed trench is not an oil painting that can be painted poorly and covered with a layer of paint. Where can you change it in a hurry? At the same time, the flanks are different from the front, and there are infinite possibilities. The enemy can be three kilometers away.
cut in, also
You can go around five kilometers and then cut in, or you can even go around ten kilometers and then cut in. This is simply impossible to prevent, and the Japanese army hastily changed the excavation route, which even messed up the position. On the one hand, it destroyed the integrity of the original defense line, and on the other hand, it destroyed the original defense line.
On the one hand, the Japanese soldiers who were working subconsciously came up with the idea that "what we are doing is useless." As a result, their work enthusiasm plummeted, and loopholes began to appear in the frontal positions of the Japanese army that the armored cavalry regiment could only bypass.
.....
The great man once said, "There is no army in the world that is not afraid of detours." The Japanese were no exception. As early as the first few lines of defense were broken by the "two wings" of the Armored Cavalry Division through side detour attacks, the Japanese army was already panicked.
They sent
After discovering that even the frontal anti-tank trenches could not stop the enemy, the panic in their hearts suddenly amplified. Even though the Japanese officers continued to kill deserters in an attempt to stabilize the morale of the army, they were just trying to stop the enemy. The atmosphere of failure quickly spread among the Japanese army.
What's even worse is that the two armored cavalry regiments were so capable that they penetrated directly behind the enemy in one breath, and then turned back to fight. As a result, a weakness of the Golan Trench itself was also exposed. It turned out that
, although this special anti-tank trench is miraculous in dealing with armored troops attacking from the front, it is a one-way fortification. Once the enemy comes from behind, its effect is worse than even the most ordinary trench.
No, so as two armored cavalry regiments
When they returned to the carbine, they didn't even need to go around in circles. They just fired artillery to destroy the pile of dirt and rushed over. The Japanese army, which had already lost confidence, was finally completely defeated. When they found the Japanese, they were crying and howling.
After rushing out of the position and losing cover, Du Yang, who had been idle for a while, could finally start working again, although this kind of beating up a drowned dog was really not challenging in his eyes...
Considering that there were too many enemy troops, and that once the ammunition and fuel carried by the armored forces were used up, they would be nothing. Therefore, even if victory was achieved, Ma Zhongying did not dare to be too careless. He asked his subordinates not to scatter in pursuit, but to
Make a choice, use force and fire
Different forces were deployed to mobilize the Japanese troops and force them to flee south. Although the Japanese troops also knew that there was a powerful Chinese 15th Army in the south, a reprieve of death was better than an immediate execution of the death penalty. Besides, in panic, a few of them still managed to escape.
Can you think calmly?
After learning that the Japs had been successfully driven south, Ma Zhongying was completely relieved. It seemed that these 200,000 Japs were definitely doomed. As long as most of these Japanese troops could be annihilated, the 15th Army would already have a stronghold on the Eastern Front battlefield.
Invincible position, the only difference is that you win more and win less...
However, Ma Zhongying did not want to hand over the credit to others, and soon issued an order to each regiment through the vehicle radio on the tank, "Each regiment should immediately concentrate fuel and ammunition as much as possible on the armored regiment, and they will be left to pursue the Japanese invaders alone for the time being.
The remaining regiments stayed to clean the battlefield, replenish ammunition and fuel, and follow up as soon as possible..."
It is worth noting that Ma Zhongying, who single-handedly directed this great victory, did not have any blood on his body. In fact, during this battle, the tank he was riding in never came close to the front line, but stayed in a relatively safe place and used telescopes to observe the battlefield.
Based on the situation, combined with the reports of each regiment, and coordinating the command through the radio, is the rumored Ma Zhongying's bravery just in name?
