Zhang Chu raised his telescope and observed carefully.
It is indeed the Type 92 cannon of the Japanese invaders.
Caliber 105 mm. Diameter ratio 42 times. Barrel length 4.725 meters.
The maximum range is 18 kilometers.
It was the four-inch (105mm) artillery with the longest range on land in the world at that time. No one.
Because of its long range, it has an advantage.
Including many 122mm howitzers are no match.
Otherwise, Li Yunlong would not risk launching this salient battle.
it's wired……
Why did the Japanese invaders push the cannon up?
Don't use the advantage of having a long range to shoot at close range? Isn't this a waste of martial arts?
Then I understood...
It's for anti-tank!
The Japanese invaders want to use cannons to attack tanks!
After all, the Japanese invaders currently do not have professional anti-tank weapons, so they can't defeat the Panzer III tank.
The only thing that can destroy the Panzer III is this cannon.
But you must shoot at close range and aim straight.
good!
good!
It is best to abandon martial arts by yourself.
"Ding!"
"You recovered a 105mm cannon."
"The estimated value of this recycling is 2 million..."
A bit of a loss.
A tank costs 3 million and a cannon costs only 2 million. The difference is 1 million.
Fortunately, there was double the amount. Otherwise, it would have been a real loss.
Suddenly, something clicked in my mind. There was one more option in the upgrade list. It was the 105mm cannon of the Japanese invaders.
The upgrade cost is similar to that of a US-made 105mm howitzer. Both are 2 million.
Do you want to try upgrading one or two doors?
Long range is indeed a great advantage. As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger.
After thinking about it later, I decided to forget it.
We'll talk to you later when necessary. There's no rush now.
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was another loud noise.
But another tank was destroyed, and a huge ball of fire broke out.
It must be admitted that the anti-tank capability of this Japanese cannon is indeed good. If the Panzer III tank is hit at close range, the damage will be very heavy.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Fortunately, the other tanks immediately responded in kind.
The cannon pushed up secretly was immediately destroyed. Both sides truly perished together.
"quick!"
"quick!"
"Rescue the wounded!"
Xiong Dingshan and his commandos quickly ran up and tried to rescue people from inside the tank.
Unfortunately, all four crew members died.
After all, it was a 105mm cannon, which was extremely powerful. The tank was severely destroyed. It was impossible for the crew to survive.
Other tanks continued to fight.
The other cannons of the Japanese invaders also continued to be transported up secretly, and then they were fired directly at close range.
Now is the time for a show of will.
Whoever can persist to the end is the winner!
"boom!"
"boom!"
Another Japanese cannon was destroyed.
This time, all the tanks learned the lesson and spread out to both sides, trying to widen the angle as much as possible.
Through this method, Japanese cannons can be effectively discovered in advance.
It takes a lot of time for the Japanese cannons to be deployed. As long as they are discovered in advance, the tank guns can destroy the target first.
"Zhang Chu, are we shooting?"
"Yes..."
Zhang Chu's eyes flashed.
Enemy!
The Japanese invaders pulled out anti-tank cannons.
What's the use of the howitzer at the back?
Of course it was an opportunity to bomb!
Turn around.
Look behind.
It was found that all eight howitzers were watching the fun.
Really!
What a fun thing to watch!
Release it quickly! Bomb immediately!
What is the goal?
Whatever it is!
Just bomb in the direction of the Japanese invaders!
"Ready to fight!"
"Ready to fight!"
Zhang Chu gave the order to the howitzer.
The artillerymen then hurriedly began to discharge their lines.
"boom!"
"boom!"
At this time, the sound of artillery fire continued in front.
Seven tanks and the remaining Japanese heavy cannon were playing hide and seek.
at the same time……
Zhang Chu came to the rear.
There is also a second wave of tank crews.
When the battle is at its fiercest, they are a vital force!
Eight more tanks arrived soon.
This is the latest upgrade.
Another 24 million was spent! It felt like my coffers were being emptied.
But it is worth it to eliminate the Japanese invaders.
I hope that after the Japanese invaders are wiped out, we can make up for it.
The fighting continues.
"Quack!"
“Quack quack!
Finally, the second wave of tanks arrived.
The harsh sound of tracks made all the surrounding Eighth Route Army soldiers perk up.
Another tank has arrived!
Or our Eighth Route Army’s own tanks!
So cool!
"idiot!"
"There are tanks on Tubal Road!"
"The soul is light..."
The Japanese invaders could no longer hold on.
The second wave of tank troops from Tubal Road is coming!
How else can they fight?
There are so many tanks and cannons that they can't handle them all.
Moreover, Tubal Road's howitzers and field artillery all ran up.
Even mortars came up.
The dense artillery shells stunned the Japanese invaders and made them unable to launch an effective counterattack.
Courage alone is in vain.
Cannonballs don't care about courage. They will blow you up if they say they will.
The highly qualified lieutenant commander was killed.
Then the lieutenant squadron leader was killed.
Then there are lieutenants, second lieutenants...
finally……
The Japanese invaders were defeated like a mountain.
"No retreat!"
"No retreat!"
At this time, Isamu Hiragaku made a difficult decision.
He ordered his brigade to stay behind and ordered Ono's brigade to retreat immediately. He planned to use his own brigade in exchange for Ono's brigade to escape.
"No……"
Ono Nobumoru refused to execute.
He didn't want to run away shamefully.
In fact, even if he wanted to run, it was already too late.
The offensives on Tubal Road have been coming one after another.
At this time, any attempt to escape will be pursued and killed. Then there will be a one-sided massacre.
"Withdraw back to Ping'an County!"
"withdraw!"
"withdraw!"
Hiragakuo Yufu had no choice but to change the order.
For the current plan, we can only withdraw to Ping'an County and wait for help. How long can we wait?
If the superiors still have reinforcements, they should come to the rescue.
After all, there are still two main divisions in Shouyang and Yangquan.
"withdraw!"
"withdraw!"
The Japanese invaders retreated wildly.
The first to retreat was the artillery regiment.
The remaining cannons must be taken away.
Without cannons, Ping'an County would not be able to defend itself.
Zhang Chu came to the howitzer.
There are many small red dots on the recycling radar.
It may be the brigade commander of the Japanese invaders, or it may be other senior colonels, lieutenant colonels, and major colonels of the Japanese invaders.
Who to hit first?
Of course it was the Japanese cannon.
Look at the map to determine which red dots may be Japanese cannons.
Finally choose a target.
aim.
shooting.
“Bang!”
"Bang!"
The shells were fired continuously.
But I can't see the impact point. I can't judge whether it hit or not.
until……
"Ding!"
"You recover a 105 mm cannon..."
"The estimated value of this recycling is 2 million..."
Information suddenly poured in.
Huh?
He actually hit it?
Did the first shot hit accurately?
It's indeed a good thing.
So he continued to shoot. A large number of shells continued to fall towards the same position.
Unfortunately, no more information came.
Apparently, it only hit one cannon. The other effects are unknown.
I had to choose the target again.
"Zhang Chu!"
"Zhang Chu!"
Li Yunlong hurriedly caught up.
But it was through his telescope that he discovered that the Japanese invaders were in full retreat.
The most tense confrontation is finally over.
The Japanese invaders are about to flee.
"arrive!"
Zhang Chu replied loudly.
My throat feels so sore. It's all caused by the smell of gunpowder.
So miserable...
I want to drink Wong Lo Kat...
"The Japanese invaders have withdrawn!"
"oh……"
"They are probably going to all retreat to Ping'an County."
"All of them?"
"They have temporarily built many field fortifications around Ping'an County. It is estimated that they will have to resist for a while."
"knew."
Zhang Chu nodded.
This is a result that anyone can expect.
The Japanese invaders could not retreat easily. After all, Ping'an County was an important county.
As long as the Japanese invaders still occupy Ping'an County, the nearby Eighth Route Army base areas will be threatened. Including Yu County, She County and other places. It is not absolutely safe.
"Are we going to attack the enemy?"
"Yes! Let's take down Ping'an County in one go!"
"good!"
Zhang Chu nodded in agreement.
That was the second attack on Ping'an County.
The first time, the Japanese defenders only had half a brigade. The second time, there seemed to be tens of thousands of people?
very scary……
There were actually more than 10,000 defenders.
The Eighth Route Army besieging Pingan County numbered more than 10,000 people.
The strength of the two sides is almost 1:1, and they still have to attack the enemy. It must be said that this is very difficult.
"You prepare first!"
"good!"
After Li Yunlong gave his instructions, he went to the front to check on the battle situation.
Zhang Chu also followed up.
By this time, the Japanese invaders had already retreated on a large scale, leaving behind a mess everywhere.
Information keeps pouring in.
It’s all information on various recycled weapons and equipment.
Income has also continued to soar.
10 million…
20000000……
40 million…
It's definitely a waste of money.
How many people did the Japanese invaders lose in the brutal fighting just now?
It is estimated to be at least three thousand.
After continuous fighting, the Japanese invaders should have lost more than 5,000 soldiers!
In fact it is so.
The Japanese invaders themselves know best how great the losses were.
The Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade was almost crippled, with less than 2,000 people left.
The Fifth Independent Mixed Brigade was completely crippled, with less than 1,500 people left.
Only Nobu Ono's Seventh Independent Mixed Brigade was still intact. The number of losses was about a thousand. However, morale was seriously affected.
We had no choice but to report to Taiyuan and request emergency tactical guidance.
Although I know this request, it may not be useful at all.
