The 13th Tank Regiment was also defeated?
In the field of vision of the artillery mirror, Kuribayashi Tadamichi saw the defeated tanks and the 6th Regiment, his face filled with disbelief.
Suddenly, a Panther tank rushed out of the smoke and fired suddenly at the escaping Type 97 tank.
The Type 97 medium tank exploded into a ball of fire, and a few seconds later, the roar of the explosion reached the detachment headquarters.
"idiot!"
Seeing this scene, Kuribayashi Tadamichi's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The Eighth Route Army is too bullying. Using heavy tanks to fight light tanks, can we still show some martial ethics?
That idiot Eisuke Suzuki didn't even report that the Eighth Route Army was equipped with heavy tanks?
How can we fight this battle?
At this time, Tadamichi Ribayashi seriously suspected that the Eighth Route Army knew the Japanese army's battle plan in advance.
Not to mention the infantry regiment, the Eighth Route Army deployed a heavy artillery regiment, and it was difficult for the infantry regiment to perform well.
However, in order to deal with the Locust Army's cavalry and chariot regiments, the Eighth Route Army formulated targeted combat plans.
Could it be that the Eighth Route Army Company also formulated a combat plan to deal with the Locust Army's aircraft?
But soon, Kuribayashi Tadamichi threw away the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
Although the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft firepower is powerful, as long as the aircraft do not dive, attack and bomb under the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft firepower network, there will not be a big problem.
At this time, all the planes had taken off from Peiping Airport, with the goal of destroying the Eighth Route Army tanks.
The plane will arrive in half an hour at most.
Seeing that there were only more than 10 tanks left in the 13th Tank Regiment, Kuribayashi Tadamichi immediately asked the communications troops to connect to the 108th Field Artillery Regiment in the rear.
"Report to the detachment leader, the call of the 108th Artillery Regiment has been connected!"
The communications staff officer held the phone in his hand and looked at Tadamichi Kuribayashi.
Tadamichi Kuribayashi quickly walked to the communications staff and took the phone in his hand: "Moxi Moxi, this is Tadamichi Kuribayashi!"
"Hi!" Tadashi Kuribayashi heard the voice of Captain Sakai Daizuo of the 108th Artillery Regiment, "Your Excellency, Captain, I am Sakai Ginzo!"
"Sakai-kun, fire in the direction of the Eighth Route Army tanks immediately!"
Kuribayashi Tadamichi's tone was cold: "If your 108th Artillery Regiment doesn't fire artillery, you will never fire artillery again!"
During the first wave of attacks by Eighth Route Army tanks and infantry, the 108th Artillery Regiment should have opened fire.
However, the observation post of the 108th Artillery Regiment on the flank of the 39th Regiment was discovered by the Sharp Sword Squadron. The Sharp Sword Squadron immediately called in heavy artillery and razed the Japanese artillery observation post to the ground.
Without the observation post, the Japanese did not dare to raise the balloon easily for fear of being shot down by anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns.
The Japanese artillery captain had no choice but to send observers again to guide the artillery in firing.
However, when the Japanese artillery observers arrived, the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army had already broken into the 39th Regiment's position and were entangled with the soldiers of the 39th Regiment. At this time, the 39th Artillery Regiment no longer dared to fire rashly.
.
"Hi!"
Sakai Daizuo's voice rang on the phone.
Then, Tadamichi Kuribayashi hung up the phone with a bang.
He turned the artillery mirror and looked in the direction of the cavalry through his field of vision, and saw that the strength of the 13th Cavalry Regiment was significantly reduced.
Seeing this, Kuribayashi Tadamichi's anger was almost unbearable. Idiot Nishizawa Yuuo, the cavalry didn't deal with the Eighth Route Infantry, but the Eighth Route Cavalry?
Even if the Eighth Route Infantry is tied up with the 39th Regiment, you can still go to the Eighth Route headquarters?
As a result, he was walked like a dog by the Eighth Route Army cavalry and cars with mounted machine guns.
If this continues, sooner or later the 13th Cavalry Regiment will be pursued and killed by the Eighth Route Army cavalry and cars.
"Baga, what kind of battles are we fighting?"
Kuribayashi Tadamichi held the Major General's command sword tightly in his hand. At this moment, he wanted to kill someone, and each of his subordinates was more stupid than the last!
At this moment, a sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky, and the artillery regiment in the rear opened fire.
Tadashi Kuribayashi looked up and saw streaks of light passing over his head, hitting the Eighth Route Army tanks.
The first shell landed near an Eighth Route Army tank, exploding into a ball of fireball and mud mist, followed by shells one after another hitting the area of the Eighth Route Army tank.
However, since there was no pre-firing, it was covered by artillery fire from the very beginning. In addition, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army were widely spread out. The first round of artillery shells only hit one tank.
Although Tadashi Kuribayashi did not know what type of tanks the Eighth Route Army was equipped with.
But he saw from the situation of Eighth Route Army tanks chasing Japanese tanks that the Eighth Route Army tanks were an order of magnitude higher than the Type 97 medium tanks, but their off-road performance was even better than the Type 97 medium tanks.
That's outrageous.
If the Eighth Route Army tanks continue to pursue them, not only will the 17th Tank Regiment be completely wiped out, but even the detachment headquarters will be in great danger.
However, it is obviously unrealistic to rely solely on the artillery regiment to destroy the Eighth Route Army's heavy tanks.
Most of the guns equipped by the artillery wing are 7mm mountain guns, and there is only one 10mm howitzer. Naturally, there is a chance to destroy the tank by aiming directly.
However, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army would not just rush over to die.
The Japanese artillery regiment also knew that the Eighth Route Army was equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery. Even if it started an artillery battle, the Japanese artillery regiment would definitely not be an opponent.
Therefore, after the Japanese artillery regiment fired four or five rounds of artillery shells to drive back the Eighth Route Army tanks, they had to quickly move their artillery positions.
Under the continuous output of artillery fire from the Japanese artillery regiment, the tank battalion of the new regiment slowly retreated under Sun Desheng's order, choosing to temporarily avoid the edge.
The remaining dozen Japanese tanks managed to escape.
After the Japanese artillery regiment forced back the Eighth Route Army tanks, they did not fire any more guns and quickly moved their artillery positions.
】
Shortly after the Japanese artillery position was moved, the Eighth Route Army's high-explosive grenades landed on the Japanese artillery position.
Seeing the explosion that was like a landslide at the artillery position just now, the Japanese soldiers in the artillery regiment were startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
By this time, the 13th Cavalry Regiment had suffered heavy casualties and had never caught up with the Eighth Route Army's cavalry and jeeps.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nishizawa Yuuo was a little dumbfounded, he did not expect this to happen.
Originally he thought he was sure of victory, but he was taught a lesson by the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. After so many years of cavalry service, Nishizawa Yongxiong had never seen such a fighting style.
The firepower of more than 0 cars and 40 machine guns suppressed a cavalry regiment.
In addition, the firepower of rifles and rifles in the hands of the Eighth Route Army cavalry should not be underestimated. The firepower of more than 600 cavalrymen was actually more powerful than the firepower of a cavalry regiment.
Nishizawa Yuxiong knew very well that even if there were not dozens of machine guns on more than 10 vehicles, chasing and firing volleys from the Eighth Route Army cavalry, the cavalry regiment would not be able to take advantage.
Looking at the obviously sparse cavalry team, Nishizawa Yuxiong's mentality suddenly exploded.
At first, he thought that the Eighth Route Army's cars were not fast, but he was obviously wrong. The cross-country performance of these cars was faster than that of horses, and they only drank gasoline, so they did not know how tired they were.
As the pursuing party, the cavalry regiment suffered heavy casualties. If it continued to pursue, more than half of the cavalry regiment would suffer casualties.
"Stop the pursuit!"
At that moment, Nishizawa Yongxiong gave a sharp shout, and at the same time clenched his fist with his right hand, giving the Japanese cavalry a sign to stop their advance.
This old Japanese was lucky. Many Japanese cavalrymen were shot off their horses, and he was not hit by machine gun bullets.
The Japanese cavalry who had no intention of pursuing the chase tightened their reins one after another. Amidst the neighing of horses, the Japanese cavalry began to slow down until they finally stopped.
"return!"
Nishizawa Yongxiong turned his horse's head in a different direction and rode in the direction he came from. The surviving Japanese soldiers turned their horses' heads one after another and galloped after Nishizawa Yongxiong.
When Cao Jiang, commander of the cavalry battalion of the new regiment, saw that the Japanese cavalry not only refused to pursue them, but instead ran away, how could he give up this opportunity to counter-pursue?
"Cavalry battalion, attack!"
Under the order of the cavalry battalion commander Cao Jiang, the cavalry battalion and jeep platoon immediately turned around and pursued the Japanese cavalry.
Now, the pursuing Japanese became the ones being chased, while the Eighth Route Cavalry and the jeep platoon became the pursuing party.
Because the cavalry battalion moved a beat slower than the Japanese cavalry, the distance between the new regiment of cavalry and the Japanese cavalry was widened.
The original distance of more than 00 meters was extended to more than 300 meters, which exceeded the effective range of the M1 carbine.
The Japs' riding skills are very good, and half of the soldiers in the new regiment's cavalry battalion are new cavalry, so it will be difficult to catch up with the Japs' cavalry in a while.
but.
The top speed of the Willys Jeep can reach 100 kilometers per hour, while the maximum speed of the Army Horse can only reach 60 kilometers per hour.
It didn't take long for the Willys Jeep to catch up with the Japanese cavalry.
Accompanied by the continuous muffled sound of the M heavy machine gun, the Japanese cavalry fell to the ground again, dozens of people fell off the horse, and many military horses were hit.
Looking back and seeing this scene, Nishizawa Isamu was so angry that he almost died on the spot. Although his cavalry also turned around and fired, it was not easy to hit the No. 8 driver at a distance of more than 300 meters.
The Eighth Route Army's machine guns could mow down several Japanese cavalrymen with just one shot.
Nishizawa Yongxiong gritted his teeth and shouted sternly: "Disperse!"
The best way now is to disperse the cavalry to reduce cavalry casualties. If the cavalry continues to gather together, the machine guns on the Eighth Route Army vehicles will sweep away a large area.
…
"idiot!"
At the detachment headquarters, seeing less than half of the cavalry regiment returning, Tadamichi Kuribayashi was so angry that he walked up and gave Yuuo Nishizawa two big slaps.
After scattering and escaping, the cavalry regiment finally withdrew with the support of the 6th Infantry Regiment, but suffered heavy casualties.
The 13th Cavalry Regiment is not a unit of other divisions like the 13th Tank Regiment and the 39th Infantry Regiment.
The 13th Cavalry Regiment is a unit of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, and is the family of Tadamichi Kuribayashi. Watching Nishizawa Yuuo pull the 13th Cavalry Regiment out, he did not kill a few Eighth Route Army soldiers, but suffered more than half of his own casualties.
This made Tadamichi Kuribayashi want to kill Yuuo Nishizawa with a knife.
Taking a deep breath, Kuribayashi Tadamichi resisted the urge to kill Nishizawa Yuuo with a knife.
At this time, the communications staff officer suddenly reported: "Reporting to the detachment leader, according to the scout report, the Eighth Route Army tanks and infantry units are at the kilometer mark, and it seems that the next wave of attacks is brewing."
"Order, all units move to defense!"
"In 0 minutes at most, the aviation force will arrive. Once the aviation force arrives, the tanks on the 8th Route will be destroyed."
"At that time, victory will only belong to the Locust Army!"
Tadashi Kuribayashi said coldly, feeling a bit disdainful of Li Yunlong in his heart, but in the end he still looked up to Li Yunlong.
I'm waiting for the plane, what are you waiting for?
