Chapter 229: Wave Attack
No matter how fast the anti-aircraft guns were, they couldn't stop the speed of the plane, and Meng Xiang had to watch the devil's remaining four planes escape with regret. But the record of leaving twenty planes behind was enough to make Tokugawa Yoshitoshi angry, and he was also a little wary of the new aircraft that appeared in the vanguard army.
"Thick armor, six machine guns?" He kept filtering the parameters of the world's most advanced aircraft in his mind, and even though the four pilots pieced together a schematic diagram of the plane, he found that none of them were right.
"Could it be a new aircraft from other countries, using it for the experiment?" He couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, and finally had to give up, "I have to remind those guys in the Navy that you can't just let these planes fly to the vanguard army casually." "There was no entry of ships, and he could only guess that the planes had flown over.
The planes of the Pioneer Army also had constant flights from Shandong to Wuhan and Kaifeng. He also sent people to attack him three times, but he was beaten back and did not make any profit. Although the interior has been cleaned up twice, and the participation of the puppet army has been eliminated, and even the people near the airport have been driven far away, they were still blocked by the vanguard army in advance.
"The kind of radio detection of the British?" He suddenly remembered something, but then he shook his head, radar technology even the Reich has only begun to study for a short time, if the Germans may have it, but the Chinese are absolutely impossible. The Germans would not easily teach this technique to the Chinese people. As for Soviet Russia, although I don't know if they have it, they will certainly not reveal it to the Chinese people.
"And how did they find out in advance?" He pondered bitterly.
"Jerk off, jerk off, one hits the wings of the plane, one hits the butt of the plane, it's so refreshing, it's so refreshing!" At the same time, Meng Xiang was happily humming a variation of the tunes of the two tigers......
He came to this world, this is his first record, he only relied on his experience as a commander before, but this time it is his own record. Although it is pitiful to have little command experience compared to a battle, the meaning is completely different.
Other protagonists cross, all with rifles or machine guns to fight planes, at this time he used anti-aircraft guns to bombard, although a little less heroic, but there is always a record in hand.
The base does not encourage the commander to go into battle in person, after all, the cost of the commander's death is too great. Therefore, the base only gave Meng Xiang a little experience, and the experience value of the commander next to him in commanding the battle was constantly rising.
Dong Changhe turned his head sideways and looked down at the corpses everywhere on the training ground.
"Look no further, there's not much alive down there. Captain, shall we hurry to another barracks? Hu Wen, who was very close to him, greeted him and asked Feng Ba.
Feng Ba had no objection to Hu Wen's proposal. By the time they came, half of the entire formation had already been divided into planes and went to other barracks.
The situation there was also smooth, although the North China Front had several field anti-aircraft artillery teams, but the 108th Division did not have many anti-aircraft weapons, only 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, which were more convenient to carry. This did not seem to be able to stop the Stuka from attacking the attack, and the slightly weaker HS-123 fighters were designed to deal with the infantry.
"Gao Shujun, your wing has also been attacked!" Ebi, who was lying in a semi-underground trench next to him, turned his head and whispered to the commander of the 117th Wing, Kashiichi Takashu. The bombing of the planes left his wing without much of a standing shadow, but after all, the planes could not completely replace the infantry, and they could attack one by one. The corpses that seemed to be on the same ground just now staggered up some figures.
"Ahh A devil who was a little distracted by the bomb couldn't help but cry loudly, but then he was slapped loudly by a young man.
The depressed Eiichi also wanted to cry.
More than half of the number just counted has been lost, and this bombardment has just left the rest in it, looking at the dozens of soldiers who have lost their souls on the hellish training ground, he has no hope of how many soldiers will be left this time.
Gao Shu Kaichi was also worried about his team, the tragic situation of the 132nd Wing shocked him, but fortunately, most of his 117 Wing was defending on the front line, and was not resting like the 132nd Wing. At this time, the explosion of bombs was constantly heard from the barracks on his side, although there were not many people left, but there was also a large group of people left behind. This made him very anxious, but just now he had been suppressed by the bomb and had no chance to check.
"Where's Shogun Nakano?" Kaichi Takaki was just about to leave, but suddenly thought of Major General Naozo Nakano, who was with them.
"The general has been martyred." A staff officer said sadly.
"Huh?" Ebi, Mingeiichi jumped up suddenly, looked around, and sure enough, he saw several devils digging up Naozo Nakano's body that was half buried in the floating soil, and on the face that had just been picked out of the floating soil, a pair of white eyeballs were staring blankly at the cloudless sky.
"Those who have wings are fast!" Wu Sanshan looked enviously at the first wave of planes flying overhead, they had already completed a wave of bombing, and the tank armored troops on the ground had only assaulted Tengzhou.
The traces left by the last battle in Tengzhou have still not been cleaned up, and the city wall opened by the devils is still so open, which is convenient for the vanguard army to attack again.
More than a dozen tanks lined up in a row, constantly bombarding the city wall, so that the devils on the top couldn't raise their heads. After a while, dozens of trucks swayed behind them. The BT-7 tank ran fast, but it was not suitable for street fighting, and other trucks could not keep up with him, and only ten SDKFZ251/1 armored personnel carriers could barely keep up. But with this bit of men and horses to attack the 109th Wing of the 136th Division defending the city, it is still a little insufficient.
"Don't stop, keep going!" Toro Er pointed ahead, and the armored force continued forward. The ironclad assault is to fight for speed, and not to give the devil much time to reflect. The enemy in Tengzhou did not dare to intercept either, and the soldiers on dozens of trucks had already jumped down one after another, and the dragged artillery began to place gun emplacements. There is no need for special selection, intelligence shows that the 136th Wing also does not have much artillery. Most of the artillery of the artillery wing was concentrated on the front line in the Zaozhuang area.
The residents of Tengzhou had almost run away when the devils attacked some time ago, and Tengzhou, which had suffered a baptism of war, was almost destroyed, this time Hu Minghe did not hesitate to let the artillery set up a cannon and bombard the city. The reconnaissance planes in the sky are constantly correcting the position of the main force of the devils. The successful capture of Zou Cheng made Hu Minghe also have the desire to compare, but he did not go directly to attack the city, but chose to bombard it with artillery. With the increasing number of artillery in the rear, the intensity of the artillery attack became more and more intense, directly dispersing the defense line of the devils in the city and the city.
"Brigade commander, the people of the 81st Division passed by train!" Ling Bingnian, the commander of the Second Regiment, rushed over and reported, "What? Where did you get the train from the exhibition hall? Hu Minghe was a little surprised, he had already asked people to look for it, but the railway near Zou Cheng was blown up by devils, and the train was also pulled away.
Ling Bingnian also didn't know, but the subordinates of Zhanshutang were familiar with the people here, so they dragged out the half-repaired locomotive, and after urgently repairing the parts that were not very damaged, they started again. The section of the road from Zou Cheng to Xue Cheng was not destroyed, and it drove through Tengzhou smoothly.
"Leave one regiment to attack Tengzhou, and the second regiment continues to advance." Hu Minghe shouted, originally only the people of the third regiment followed the tank armored force to the south, but at this time, the sudden advance of the 81st Division made Hu Minghe give up fighting a low-casualty battle with the two regiments in Tengzhou, and directly left the first regiment, and the second regiment continued to attack south.
At this time, more than 100 BT-7 tanks had already rushed wildly, and the front near Xue Cheng in front was not shrunk in the city, but most of them were arranged outside the city to confront the opposite Central Army. This is exactly what suits the assault of tank troops. The order given by Meng Xiang was not to take care of the slower infantry following behind, and to attack directly, followed only by the ten SDKFZ251/1 armored personnel carriers.
"The vanguard army has conquered Zou Cheng and is storming Tengzhou!"
Ryosuke Isoya listened to the adjutant's report and pondered for a long time before saying, "You must hold Weishan County and prepare more boats!" "The 10th Division already has a wing in Pei County, opposite Weishan Lake, and Ryosuke Isoya is more willing to deal with the Central Army over there than the vanguard army that has fought many times.
"The Central Army on the opposite side hasn't moved yet?" He asked again.
"What's going on on the other side?" At the same time, Li Zongren was also asking.
"There has already been news that the aircraft of the Vanguard Army bombed the 108th Wing of the 132nd Division, inflicting heavy casualties on them. At the same time, they have already conquered Zoucheng. Zhang Renmin replied next to him, he is now responsible for more foreign negotiations.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the vanguard army has already attacked Tengzhou." A staff officer next to him shouted excitedly with a telegram.
"They're so fast!" Li Zongren sighed that he knew that the time of the vanguard army's attack was 6 o'clock in the morning, but it was only ten o'clock now.
"The tanks of the vanguard army have arrived in Xuecheng!" Another staff officer who was guarding the radio looked up and shouted, immediately attracting the eyes of everyone in the command headquarters.
The corners of Li Zongren's mouth twitched, then he looked at the people in the command headquarters, and resolutely ordered: "Give the order to attack!" ”
At this time, the one hundred and twelve tanks of the vanguard army had already broken through the first line of defense of the devils with black smoke.
Since the devil's defense line was mainly set up in the face of the central army in the south, he didn't think much about the attack behind it, that is, he hurriedly built simple fortifications after hearing that the vanguard army was coming, but the time was pressing, and some of them were not even half completed.
How can these things block the steel tracks of a tank? The BT-7 ran straight over, and the 7.62DT machine gun on it continued to strafe the soldiers who had nowhere to hide around. The mortar and pillbox positions of the devils were also bombarded with several shells and directly destroyed. A torrent of steel over 100 tanks swept through the area they passed, crushing all the enemies into the dirt with blood.
"Boom" more than a dozen artillery shots, a lot of shells fell around the tank assault group, the devils reacted quickly, and most of the artillery wings of the three divisions and regiments were also concentrated in this vicinity, hearing that the tanks of the vanguard army were rushing in. After reconnaissance, the devil's artillery also fired.
"About 2 kilometers in the direction of 11 o'clock in front of you on the left, there is an artillery position of devils!" The reconnaissance aircraft in the sky reported. The second wave of aircraft attacks has gone far, but the third wave of aircraft is coming. Originally, the primary target of attack was the artillery position, but so many soldiers of the 132nd Wing put together to put up such a bombed formation, which was too tempting, so the target was temporarily changed, and the fight against devils was mainly to attack people first.
"Attack!" With a decisive wave of his hand, the BT-7 tank's 45mm gun and artillery bombardment suffered a little, but the advantage of the tank was flexibility. The artillery positions cannot be moved at will, but the tanks are constantly moving. So many shells fell from the devils, and only three tanks were blown up.
The tank turned slightly in front and headed for the artillery position.
The wing commander of the 109th Wing of the Mountain Artillery, Masasan Kurosawa, called loudly to the artillery brigade there. But the captain of the brigade, Lu Zegonger, had just received the news that the BT-7 tank, which had been assaulting for two kilometers, was approaching.
The 12 mountain guns there began to attack in this direction, but more than a hundred tanks flooded the area like a tide.
"Split up and continue to attack its artillery positions!" Toro Er shouted as he gave several orders, which were transmitted to each car through the newly installed radio. Tiger Six led more than forty tanks to turn in the other direction, except for the five vehicles that were left to clear the remnants of the enemy and rescue the soldiers of the two tanks that were destroyed, the other tanks rushed directly towards the artillery position in the other direction.
"Those with wings are here to take credit again!" Wu Sanshan was fighting well, but suddenly he heard a roar in the sky, and the third wave of air attacks arrived.
It was only a 100-kilometer journey from the Yanzhou base to the Zaozhuang front, and after the first wave of attacks was over, some of the pilots directly transferred to the prepared planes and started the second round of attacks. The other part of the pilots waited for their mounts to replenish their ammunition and fuel and set off as the fourth echelon. And behind them, there are pilots who have returned from the second echelon attack, ready to launch a fifth wave of attacks.
"Wave after wave like the waves, attack continuously!" Following the Army's wave attack, Fan proposed this air force attack.
"Yes, wave after wave, let the devils go to grandma's house all the time." Meng Xiang strongly agreed.
