Three kilometers behind the fifth line of Japanese positions.

Position of the XXVII Cavalry Wing.

"Co-Captain."

A telecommunications soldier on horseback rushed over and handed the commander of the cavalry wing, a veteran Japanese cavalryman, an order:

"General Yamamoto ordered."

"Yamamoto's general's order?"

Hearing this, the captain of the Zhongzuo Wing was directly stunned for a while and took the order.

The 27th Cavalry Wing, formed three years ago, has been stationed near Zhangjiakou to maintain law and order, clear out the guerrillas, and put pressure on the Jin Sui army to support the nearby garrison. At its peak, there were more than 1,000 military horses and a team of more than 1,000 people.

A real cavalry wing.

A year earlier, he had arrived with General Yoshimoto in the First Army to support the Shanxi campaign.

But.

Now, a year later, the 27th Cavalry Wing has less than 200 men.

He is an imperial lieutenant, and he can serve as the wing commander of a cavalry wing, and he has no sub-words, which is already very revealing.

Today's dirt road is no longer the dirt road.

Not to mention the unseemly independent regiment with fierce firepower in front of him, in the entire Shanxi region, a guerrilla group can be pulled out of the mountains at will, and the same number of people can also beat their cavalry all over the ground looking for teeth.

Cavalry, it's really not suitable for war now.

After reading the order in his hand, the captain of the Zhongzuo Wing was silent for a moment.

As a lieutenant, he has a lot of experience in actual combat and knows the situation on the front line.

On this mission, if they were to fight hard with anti-tank grenades and tanks, it would definitely be a no-go return. Not to mention, they have not undergone similar training, and it is difficult to guarantee the actual combat effect.

It is impossible for General Yamamoto not to know about this situation.

He took a deep breath, he drew his katana, and with a hideous face ordered the troops to assemble.

······

"Rush Rush Rush..."

The front line, the front of the fourth line of Japanese positions.

The commander of the first tank company took the lead, driving the No. 4 tank on a rampage, and the coaxial machine gun on the tank and the 75mm main gun burst into flames.

Beside him, a company of the remaining twenty-seven tanks formed an offensive formation and slowly but surely crushed towards the devil's position in the distance.

In the back, more than 300 soldiers armed with submachine guns and recoilless guns followed closely behind the tank, with the help of tank cover, to avoid the fire of the devils, and at the same time to clear the approaching self-detonating devils for the tank, as well as the devils hiding in the bunker.

Although it was night and it was pitch black, flares were falling from the sky, and the flares fired by the 120 mortars were so effective that they lit up almost the entire battlefield.

Not to mention the fact that there are four half-track armored vehicles carrying high-power searchlights in the back.

"Yaga..."

On the opposite side of the first company, there was a group of devil ring positions, and at this time, looking at the company that was gradually approaching, the captain of the seventh brigade commanding the front line gritted his teeth, and the hand holding the katana was almost soaked in blood.

Around him, from time to time a series of explosions sounded, this was the sound of bunkers and fortresses destroyed by shelling. and the whooshing sound of raindrops. It's the sound of bullets slicing across it.

Together, there were screams one after another.

In the face of the attack of the tank units of the independent regiment, his brigade was completely beaten and could not raise its head, and even retreated with some difficulty.

The positional communication trenches were destroyed, the communication between the ring fortifications was broken, the bunker fortifications were incomplete, the soldiers could not move in the trench at all, and they had to leave the trench if they wanted to transfer.

But the battlefield was almost daylight.

The flares in the sky were kept at more than ten at all times, illuminating the battlefield at all times, and there were four large searchlights a kilometer away from the opposite side, and anyone would definitely be spotted as soon as they came out of the bunker.

In the face of crossfire composed of more than 20 tank guns, nearly 60 coaxial tank machine guns, and 60 large-caliber machine guns, it was certain to die when they got out of bunker.

Moreover, there were tank units of the same size interspersed on both flanks, which had already crossed his position and the positions of the XVII Brigade in the rear, and he was already in the pockets of the enemy at this time.

After five years of fighting for the Empire, he had never fought such a humiliating battle.

Forget about the flares, the independent regiment has strong firepower and sufficient ammunition, and he has seen it during this time, but he actually let the searchlight on the opposite side shine on his face, and it is really embarrassing to deal with the counterattack.

It's like a pack of lost dogs.

Even the bayonet, the most proud of the empire and representing the bravery of the samurai, General Nogi Noshinori's pig-studded tactics had no chance to be used.

"Withdraw. Remove. ”

Putting away his gritted teeth and letting go of the hand holding the katana, the devil captain reluctantly gave the order to continue retreating.

Without complete fortifications, no pre-ambushed death squads, fighting the enemy's tank forces here, the remaining few men of his brigade would be wiped out in ten minutes.

·····

Half past ten in the evening.

The battle on the front lines continues, and it tends to be at its hottest.

Inside the command post of the separate regiment of the front.

"The 2nd and 3rd Tank Companies have arrived at the predetermined positions and are building a defensive line."

Li Yunlong is summarizing the battle situation on the front line:

"The encirclement has been formed."

"However, the devils concentrated five brigades to storm the three defensive lines, and the encirclement was temporarily unstable."

"Three brigades?"

Ding Wei touched his chin:

"Yamamoto is really willing to pay the capital, there are only two brigades in total that we surround it, I'm afraid this old devil still has a backhand."

Because of the lack of combat experience of the tank troops, and the fact that the main purpose of this time was to cover the penetration of the 1st and 2nd battalions, plus the fact that it was a night operation, the appetite of the three tank companies was reduced.

At the beginning, it was planned to surround the brigade on the front line of the devils and try to taste his appetite, but he didn't expect that at the beginning, Yamamoto sent a new brigade to the frontline position, which was equivalent to directly stuffing meat into the mouth of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong naturally would not be polite, and swallowed it directly.

But the two brigades were only about 2,000 people, and in the face of three tank companies of the independent regiment and more than 5,000 infantry to follow up, Yamamoto actually dispatched five brigades to try to rescue, and it was obvious that there was a problem.

"Hey, hey..."

Li Yunlong snorted coldly, and his tone was confident:

"No matter what this old devil Yamamoto wants to do, labor and management are waiting for him to make a move."

"Haha..."

Ding Dawei laughed.

The difference in strength is here, no matter how Yamamoto jumps, he is a grasshopper after autumn.

Moreover, the first and second battalions are still silent on the radio, which means that the intersperses are smooth and smooth, and according to the time, I am afraid that they have already walked half the way, and even if they are discovered now, they can still occupy the predetermined position.

This time the plan is already in place.

Jingle bells···

Suddenly, the phone in the headquarters rang, and a staff officer picked up the phone and quickly reported to Li Yunlong:

"The second company was attacked by devil cavalry."

"Cavalry?"

"Cavalry!"

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong were surprised at the same time.

It's no wonder that both of them were surprised at the same time.

It's really, it's been a long, long time since I've seen the devil's cavalry.

The most recent one was during the battle of Shou County, the Black Island Cavalry Wing.

In the past, the devil cavalry was very active, and from time to time they would come out to sweep and clear the township, and at that time the troops had a headache when they saw the devil cavalry, and they would drill into the mountains when they pulled their legs, but at that time the troops were poorly armed.

At present, all troops, even county brigades and district squads, have popularized 20-round barge guns, and others, such as the 772nd Regiment, are equipped with submachine guns in large quantities.

The submachine gun given by Brother Chen has a simple structure and is easy to produce, and the base area has long mastered the production technology, but the production capacity is insufficient, so it is not produced, and after the amount of weapons and ammunition is abundant, Li Yunlong exchanged a large number of them for other brother troops.

Anyway, ammunition and barge guns are universal.

The cavalry dared to come to the base area, and the target was so big that he couldn't go back.

"How's it going?"

Ding Wei hurriedly asked, he was rarely a little dignified at this time.

Although the era of the devil cavalry has passed, and now a district squad can also bully the devil cavalry, the problem is that it is night at this time, although the front line flares are flying all over the sky and there are large searchlights, there is still a big gap from the daytime.

There are many blind spots and blind spots in the field of vision.

Moreover, the flares mainly illuminated the offensive positions of the first company, and there were not many second and third companies on the edge.

It is really possible for the devil cavalry to rush into the troops by relying on speed.

"The devil cavalry broke through to the position of the second company."

The staff officer continued.

······

Front.

Position of the second company of tanks.

"Tooth Ji gives..."

The leader of the devil cavalry, holding a magnetic anti-tank grenade with one hand and grasping the reins with the other, lay on his horse's back, and rushed to the position of the second company at a distance of only fifty meters.

Beside him, nearly two hundred military horses and two hundred devil cavalrymen also held magnetic anti-tank grenades, lying on horseback, staring at the second company of tank groups in the distance, howling and rushing over.

For a time, the momentum was menacing.

"Left, devil cavalry."

Because they were fighting with the devils in front, because of the night vision, and because there was a little problem with the formation during the attack, it was not until the distance of fifty meters that the devil cavalry began to charge, and they found this group of enemies.

You can't blame Erlian.

It has only been half a year since the formation of the tank unit of the Independent Regiment.

These tankmen, tank crews, although most of them are selected from veterans and have good combat experience, infantry and tank crews are completely different types. Relying on a bunch of tank training manuals, relying on a few foreign grassroots tank soldiers, and relying on bits and pieces of information, they struggled to form themselves. After less than half a year of training, and the previous actual combat, the second company has grown rapidly, but it is still seriously insufficient.

The first night attack, although generally smooth, still had a lot of problems.

The attack formation is scattered, there is a hole in the defensive line, there are cars in the middle that are scattered, etc...

After all, inexperience.

By the time the second tank company and the infantry in the rear reacted, the muzzles and machine guns pointed to the left, and the fire was spread, it was already a little late, and after only paying the price of more than a dozen people killed, the last large-scale cavalry unit of the locust army in Ping'an County broke through into the second company.

Boom...

A magnetic anti-tank grenade of one and three kilograms was dropped in the back of the tank, and a violent explosion waved, accompanied by fire, a tank No. 4 was blown up, and immediately afterwards even burned, illuminating the surroundings.

Although the quality of the devil's anti-tank grenade is extremely poor and the magnetism is relatively low, although the German tank given by the system does not come with a troublesome and complex anti-magnetic coating, it also gives a simple and easy-to-install anti-magnetic cover.

But at this time, all the tanks of the second tank company were almost at a standstill.

And.

Because of the lack of experience of the commander did not pay attention, because of the insufficient number of logistics personnel, the anti-magnetic cover kit was not installed.

Therefore, the devil's magnetic grenade is firmly attached to the tank, and with the height of the horse, the devil can easily throw the grenade on the back of the tank.

Boom...

Immediately after that, another tank was blown up.

"Let's go."

"Let's go."

Seeing this scene, the commander of the second company quickly realized the mistake he had made.

He actually made the tank almost stop.

Tanks are not only powerful in firepower and high in defense, but also extremely mobile.

The combination of the three is the king of land warfare.

With the order, the driver quickly put the gear, stepped on the accelerator, and as the black smoke from the exhaust pipe rose and the engine hummed, the rest of the tanks quickly started up to hedge with the devil cavalry team.

With speed, even if an anti-magnetic cover is not installed, the inferior anti-magnetic anti-tank mine in the hand of the devil is difficult to stick, and it falls down as soon as it is thrown on.

At the same time, the commander of the second company again ordered:

"Flares."

With his order, several flares were lifted into the air, and the infantry in the rear suddenly had a vision, and they raised their submachine guns in their hands and opened fire on this devil cavalry.

Anyway, the submachine gun in their hands did no damage to the tank at all.

Suddenly, in the face of surging firepower, the devil's cavalry did not set off any waves, and after a few minutes, they were drowned in a rain of bullets.

But the second company also paid the price.

"Damn, the devil actually has a magnetic grenade."

At the end of the battle, the commander of the second company turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Because of his command error, because he carelessly did not install the anti-magnetic cover, his second company lost seven tanks, three of which were blown up, the crew suffered heavy losses, and four were damaged by tracks and could not move.

And at this time, the mutation was abrupt.

Boom...

The tracks on the side of one of the No. 4 tanks exploded, the tracks broke and the load-bearing wheels fell off, but the interior members were unscathed because of the resistance of the tracks and load-bearing wheels.

After dispatching the cavalry, Yamamoto actually sent a squadron with four one-type anti-aircraft guns to follow, waiting for an opportunity to attack the flank.

"On the left side, three hundred meters, two devil battle defense guns."

With the help of muzzle fireworks, the enemy was quickly discovered.

At the same time, another tank was hit, and another tank lay on its stomach again. Although the Devil's 47-mm anti-tank gun was weak against frontal armor, it could penetrate the flanks.

"Kill them."

The commander of the second company, who was blaming himself and reflecting on himself, immediately became angry and rushed over with the rest of the tanks.

······

Inside the front command of the separate regiment.

"After the second tank company was attacked by the devil cavalry, it was attacked by four anti-tank guns of the devil, although the second company eliminated these enemies, but it also led to a hole in the encirclement, although it was blocked afterwards, but it was still escaped by a large part of the devils."

Li Yunlong also received news from the front.

The presence of a large number of radio stations in the troops allowed him to receive all kinds of front-line intelligence in a timely manner.

"Yamamoto, this old devil is good."

The devil ran away partially, but Li Yunlong was not angry at all.

"We're inexperienced."

Looking at the telegram in his hand and the report of the commander of the second tank company, Ding Wei smiled.

The second tank company was ambushed by cavalry units and anti-aircraft artillery this time, and the tank lost more than half of its tank, almost losing its offensive capability.

Then Ding Wei continued to smile and said:

"It's a good thing to suffer a loss."

Only when we make mistakes and suffer losses because of mistakes can we remember the lessons, and then correct them, so as to avoid making similar mistakes again in the future, so that we can grow.

"Collect the Internet café."

Li Yunlong nodded, agreed, and then gave the order to close the net:

"Now, just wait for news from Zhang Dabiao."

Li Yunlong then asked Ding Wei:

"Are you ready?"

"The 4th tank company, the 5th tank company, as well as five infantry battalions, three independent companies, and three towed artillery batteries with a total of 28,000 people are ready to go at any time."

丁伟 says:

"I'm just waiting for news from Zhang Dabiao."

As long as Zhang Dabiao cut off the road, the 28,000-strong army, carrying heavy artillery, would immediately set off, and the troops would reach Panxian and Ping'an counties.

At the same time.

Inside the Front-Line Devil Command.

"General, the Seventeenth Brigade has withdrawn."

The staff officer is reporting:

"But, the Seventh Brigade, the Twenty-seventh Cavalry Wing, and the squadron responsible for the assault are all shattered."

The news was mixed, but Yamamoto was relieved.

The seventh brigade is a newly formed brigade, and it is a pity that the jade is broken.

As for the 27th Cavalry Wing, it is actually just a squadron, and the captain of the Zhongzuo Wing is a joke, and his ability is not good, and it is not a pity that the jade is broken, and there is no need to mention that the assault squadron has less than a hundred people.

The 17th Brigade is an elite brigade with many veterans and sufficient combat effectiveness, and there is no room for loss.

······

At 4:55 the next day.

A telegram was sent to the front command post of the Separate Regiment:

"The 1st and 2nd battalions have arrived at their intended positions."
