Chapter 101: Tanks!
"Captain?"
Xiaoxinzhuang sentry tower, hearing the scolding of their own captain, a group of devils hurriedly rushed in, looked around, found no enemy, and no other accidents, and asked suspiciously.
The captain of the devil team did not answer, he stared at the radio station under the table, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Judging by previous attacks, it is clear that the sentinels here are seriously inexperienced in actual combat.
Outside the outpost, although one light and one dark alternately guarded, the vigilance of the soldiers on duty was seriously insufficient, there were too many loopholes in the cooperation between the two, and the concealment was also insufficient.
The battle inside the house too.
The five men inside the outpost were wiped out with little resistance.
Everything went even better than expected.
Before the attack, he organized his men to conduct a detailed investigation of the place, finding out the surrounding terrain, the location of the number of people in the outpost, and even discovering the location of the radio station through the occasionally open gate.
In his prediction, even if the guard post here contacted the independent regiment command at intervals via radio, he would be able to fight for some time.
Radio problems are all too common.
By the time the troubleshooting is complete, it will take at least an hour.
But!
There are two radio stations in a small outpost.
And the layout is very tricky.
Normally, two radios should be in different rooms, or one bright and one dark, one in the basement to avoid being destroyed at once, but here two are in one room, or even directly on and off.
At present, the soldiers on duty at this guard post are indeed inexperienced, but the people who designed the current guard post and the guard system are very experienced and have a very good understanding of special operations.
It's almost as if it was deliberately aimed at special operations.
A lonely wooden sentry tower on the top of a hill, behind which are bunkers such as anti-artillery holes, and inexperienced guards can easily make attackers let their guard down.
"We've been discovered."
The few people who came in were all members of Yamamoto's special team and quickly discovered the situation.
So, everyone looked at their captain, waiting for further orders.
"Divide the troops."
The captain of the devil gritted his teeth and said to a squadron leader:
"You take your squadron and continue to march along the mountain road, and I take the remaining three squadrons along the road."
"Hey."
The order was given, and the devil moved quickly.
The six hundred devils were divided into four squadrons, each with one hundred and fifty men, one squadron continued to attack the warehouse area along the hidden mountain road, and the remaining three squadrons advanced at full speed, attacking along the road to the warehouse area.
Through the faint starlight, it could be seen that each squadron carried several 90 mortars, and there were even two Type 92 infantry guns in the group of three squadrons.
However, because it could only be carried on the shoulder, it was not much to carry.
Meantime.
Tank No. 4.
Sun Desheng, who received the order, opened the map, looked at the terrain around Xiaoxin Village, and after pondering for a few seconds, he turned on the radio.
"The devil's purpose is the warehouse district."
Sun Desheng's concise arrangement:
"There are two roads from Xiaoxinzhuang to the warehouse area."
"One is a road, the other is a mountain road, so our soldiers are divided into two roads, one team, two teams along the road, and three teams are waiting for devils at the small pass."
The voice fell, fifteen tanks, thirty half-track armored vehicles were divided in two.
Ten tanks and twenty armored vehicles moved along the road, and the remaining five tanks and ten armored vehicles turned around and headed for a pass.
······
Two o'clock at night.
Five kilometers before the Xiaoxin Village Highway.
At this time, the cold wind is still howling, and the road has accumulated a thick layer of snow, this weather, and it is night, it is impossible for a vehicle to drive on the road, after all, it is not easy for people to walk up.
And in the front row of the devil team, the captain of the devil brigade and the leader of the first combat team of the Yamamoto special team suddenly stopped and looked ahead, and the remaining devils did the same.
In the distance, a flare flew into the air, illuminating the road and the surrounding hillside, accompanied by machine-gun fire.
Seeing this scene, the corner of a devil squadron leader's eyes twitched.
"Check it out."
A minute later, the flare went out, and with a wave of his hand, several devil soldiers moved forward, and after a while, these devils ran back, obviously in a panicked posture.
"Tanks, tank units of separate regiments."
It was the devils of the secret service team who went to the front to investigate, the old devils of the old devils, but their tones were also panicked.
These old devils naturally know the power of tanks, and they also know that the tank owned by the independent regiment is much more powerful than the Reich, and it is the fourth tank of the Germans.
"About a dozen, and twenty armored vehicles."
However, in a panic, several people still figured out the number.
Starlight, reflections of snow, as well as flares fired by the separate regiment itself, it is not difficult to find the number of tanks, as well as armored vehicles.
"Stand on guard and prepare for battle."
After looking around at the surrounding terrain, the captain of the devil team took a deep breath and chose to fight.
The footprints on the road had already exposed them, the terrain around this place was flat, the tanks could easily climb the hillside, and there was no point in retreating.
Moreover, as a group leader, he knew that the independent regiment lacked excellent and qualified tankmen and was not skilled in the use of tanks, so he had a chance to destroy these tanks.
Presumably the tank was blown up, and that Li Yunlong should be very heartbroken.
Following his orders, the devils began to scatter to find cover and build positions. At the same time, each squad leader gathers explosives packs, and selects the most loyal samurai to the locust and the empire to form a death squad.
Not long after the devil was ready, there was a creaking sound from the whistling wind and snow, like steel intertwined.
Hearing this voice, the devils all looked solemn.
Tanks are coming.
"Flares."
In the tank at the front of the line, an observer leaned out of the turret, held a telescope, and watched closely ahead with the help of the faint starlight.
Bang····
On the armored vehicles in the rear, two 82 mortars opened fire, and two flares rose into the air.
At the same time.
At the pass on the other side, a squadron of devils who had just jumped out of the mountain road happened to crash into the muzzle of the third tank group of the first tank company of the tank, which was waiting for the rabbit.
·····
Zhao Jiayu.
Inside the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment.
"A devil brigade was found in Luo Village on the right, and the second tank company has been completed..."
"A brigade of devils was found in Mali Village, and the fifth company of tanks ······"
"The front-line devils launched another large-scale offensive ·······"
“······”
One message after another was summarized into Li Yunlong's hands and marked on the map.
"Yamamoto, this old devil is really not bad."
Li Yunlong had no hippie smile at this time, and looked at the map with a solemn face, his eyes were contemplative.
He had guessed Yamamoto's tactics a long time ago, the front-line soldiers pressed up, and then sent elite troops to infiltrate the two flanks, creating a situation where the independent regiment did not care about each other, and he also made targeted arrangements for this.
Strengthen security posts and set up defensive lines at important intersections·····
These methods prevented some of the devils from interspersing their troops, but several brigades still entered the core area of the base area.
After all, mountainous terrain is complex.
In addition, the base area centered on Zhao Jiayu is indeed too large, and the scale is much larger than several county seats.
So far, a small factory has been damaged in the base area, several bridges have been blown up, and even two devil brigades have reached Gecun, threatening the logistics supply lines on the front line.
The current situation made Li Yunlong have to admit that Yamamoto's special operations methods are really powerful.
Moreover, he did make some mistakes, to be precise, he had some experience in large-scale defensive warfare, he was not well considered, and there were many loopholes in the defensive line.
If the current situation really develops, if he does not have a tank battalion as a mobile force, the supply line from Gecun to the front line may really be cut off.
But.
There are no ifs on the battlefield.
There are six tank mobile companies, and these devil brigades that enter the base area are meaningless, and the tank troops may not be able to completely annihilate these devil brigades, but they can be easily dispersed.
Having lost its size, some stragglers caused very little damage to the base area.
The construction brigades, the villages and farms under the collective management, but the population of the base areas is very concentrated, and each population gathering point is guarded by a large number of recruit troops, although the recruits are not able to fight and cannot attack, but there is no problem at all in defense.
No matter how elite the special forces are, in the face of the sudden attack of machine guns and mortars, they can only retreat honestly.
Squinting his eyes, looking at a red line in Ge Village, which was very close on the map, it was a brigade interspersed with devils, and it was already approaching the material storage point of Ge Village, and his finger knocked on the table, Li Yunlong suddenly flashed sharply and asked:
"Where is the anti-aircraft machine gun battery of the anti-aircraft battalion now?"
Yes, and now the anti-aircraft company has officially become an anti-aircraft battalion.
Because it has reached the scale of the battalion in Li Yunlong's heart.
"Anti-aircraft machine gun company?"
This time, Zhang Dabiao looked at his own head of the regiment, his tone and eyes were puzzled, this was also the first time in three years that he had not guessed what his head had in mind.
The current task is to mobilize troops to block the devil brigade interspersed with Gecun!
How did you ask about the anti-aircraft machine gun company?
Anti-aircraft machine gun companies had difficulty maneuvering and were far less flexible than infantry companies.
What do you want to do, Captain?
The anti-aircraft machine gun company was recently formed, and after killing 15,000 devils, the independent regiment received 10,000 tons of ammunition, which could also be exchanged for weapons, and the regiment commander waved his hand to form an anti-aircraft machine gun company with 350 M2 heavy machine guns.
Of course, most of them were recruits, and there were no problems with the machine guns because of the ease of operation. These people's air defense is okay, blocking the attack, I'm afraid that the positions are not up to standard.
Firepower is not only the stacking of the barrel, but also the arrangement of the barrel is more important.
"Yes."
Li Yunlong nodded, with a smile in his tone, and said repeatedly:
"Anti-aircraft machine gun company!"
