That being said, it is impossible to attack Taiyuan.
Taiyuan is a first-class fortified city. Don't think too much.
If we were able to successfully capture Ping'an County and wipe out all the Japanese invaders here, we would have overfulfilled our mission.
right!
It’s just over the limit!
The headquarters did not give Ding Wei any specific tasks.
The headquarters is also very busy right now.
There were wars going on everywhere. With just a few people, it was too busy.
Many battlefields are left alone.
Whether you can chew off such a big piece of fat is completely left to the frontline commander to decide.
Chew it if you can.
If you can't chew it, consume it slowly.
Anyway, there is plenty of time.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The continuous sound of explosions brought the two of them back to reality.
However, the extensive use of rocket launchers has greatly accelerated the attack speed. Some strongholds can also be bombarded with tank main guns.
Crush!
Sweep.
Under the cover of tanks, the infantry advanced smoothly.
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
Suddenly, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed up desperately.
There were a lot of people. There were hundreds of them. But half of them were wounded. Some of them didn't even have guns.
The Japanese invaders are finished.
This is their suicide charge.
Once the Japanese invaders started this crazy pursuit of death, it meant they had admitted defeat.
The trapped beast still fights.
But it no longer has the fighting power of the beast.
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
Sure enough, in the face of the dense rain of bullets, the Japanese invaders all fell.
A wounded soldier fired a grenade in a pool of blood.
"puff!"
The explosion sound also seemed feeble.
Then blow up all the Japanese invaders nearby.
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
The soldiers continued to shoot at the corpses of the Japanese invaders.
Everyone should keep in mind the requirements of their superiors. Never check the life and death of a Japanese invader at close range unless his body has been separated.
For the sake of safety, there is nothing wrong with shooting the corpse of a Japanese invader in the head.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Some new soldiers were firing at the Japanese invaders.
As new recruits, they basically have no chance of picking up the slack.
The Japanese invaders in front had already been cleared away by the veterans. When the new soldiers came up, they only had to clean up the battlefield.
Oh, there's no need to clean up the battlefield now.
The Eighth Route Army gradually looked down upon the weapons of the Japanese invaders.
Especially the Type 38 rifle.
I thought it was a good gun before. Now...
Even the guerrillas despise it!
Many guerrillas are eagerly waiting for the semi-automatic rifles to be issued. It is fun to use them!
"Ding!"
"Registering a Type 38 rifle..."
"Ding……"
The data is constantly refreshed.
The number of Type 38 rifles increased significantly.
Soon, there were almost 5,000 rifles in stock. Zhang Chu upgraded them all to SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles.
Then, follow the large army forward.
In fact, he has nothing to do anymore. All the battles have been taken care of by others.
Keep going.
The road is very difficult to walk.
They are all craters made by artillery shells.
There were also a large number of fragmented corpses of Japanese invaders along the way.
It is rare to see the Eighth Route Army.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the Eighth Route Army's casualties should not be many.
In fact, the Eighth Route Army could achieve fewer casualties.
If the artillerymen were more skilled...
If the tank were more skillful...
It's a pity that they are all rookies.
The specialization of technical arms is far from enough.
The artillery and tank soldiers who became monks halfway have not yet exerted their full combat effectiveness.
But there is no rush.
They must be given time and opportunities to train themselves.
This large-scale battle is a good training opportunity. Of course, there will definitely be some necessary costs.
One Panzer III tank was destroyed.
It fell into a big pit and could never come out. Then it was blown up by the Japanese invaders.
Pity……
The Japanese invaders are still very fanatical...
"boom!"
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance.
But it is located in Ping'an County.
Judging from the black smoke column rising into the sky and the looming mushroom clouds, it was not an ordinary explosion.
It is very likely that the Japanese invaders were destroying the remaining ammunition.
This wave exploded...
It is estimated that the Japanese invaders will not leave any captures for the Eighth Route Army.
Blow up everything that can be blown up.
But it doesn't matter. The Eighth Route Army no longer needs to capture it.
"boom!"
"boom!"
There was another continuous muffled sound.
It also came from the county town. I don’t know what the sound was. It sounded like a grenade exploding?
Keep moving forward.
Finally arrived at the city gate.
Well, here comes the famous classic scene. Li Yunlong yells, fire! Fire...
Of course, not now.
Everything here has been destroyed.
The tower has been completely blown to pieces.
The city gate has been completely sealed by sand and gravel, forming a messy slope.
Judging from the explosion, it is estimated that the attacking Eighth Route Army soldiers used a variety of weapons. There may be tank guns, field artillery, and rocket launchers.
I guess the most used one is the rocket launcher.
This weapon is also very efficient at destroying buildings.
A city tower like the one in Ping'an County is of average strength and can collapse with just one rocket launch.
One more shot...
Basically everything was destroyed.
If three or five more shots are fired, it will become a ruin.
The same is true elsewhere.
Five large gaps were blown through the city wall, which was only two to three hundred meters long.
As expected, there are many cannonballs, so you can spend money at will.
One gap was enough. Five of them actually exploded!
No wonder the Japanese invaders couldn't stop them.
Set foot on the ruins.
I found that there was still a Japanese invader under my feet, but he was already dead.
I don't know how many Japanese invaders were buried in the ruins. It is estimated that the number was not small. This explosion was probably very violent.
Good thing.
The more Japanese invaders who die, the better.
The more frenzied the Japanese invaders' counterattack, the more casualties they suffered.
really……
Go to the top of the ruins slope.
I saw that on the other side, there were corpses of Japanese invaders lying all over. They were all in pieces.
The Japanese invaders must have wanted to counterattack, but they were killed by the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire.
These layers are stacked on top of each other and densely packed, with at least several hundred people in them.
There are hundreds of people in one gap. There are two to three thousand people in five gaps. The losses of this wave of Japanese invaders are not expected to be small.
They are all very good Japanese invaders.
Death is good...
Suddenly I saw Wu Guangqi and Li Yan coming in a hurry.
These two...
They are all political commissars! Why are you so anxious?
"Consultant Zhang!"
"Consultant Zhang!"
The two regiment political commissars rushed towards Zhang Chu.
I climbed up from the ruins with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Later, I simply used both feet together.
Zhang Chu:......
Oh, looking for me?
So stopped.
"Commander Zhang, do you still have rocket launchers?" Wu Guangqi got straight to the point.
"Don't you have a hundred members in your group?" Zhang Chu wondered, "Isn't that enough?"
Although it is always said that everyone has one, it is actually impossible.
Because this thing requires rockets. Without rockets, it is better to burn fire sticks.
Rockets are consumed very quickly. Ensuring the supply of ammunition is more important than increasing the number of rocket launchers. One hundred rocket launchers for a regiment is definitely more than enough.
"I'm here to ask for help from my brother troops. They want it too."
"Me too."
The two hurriedly explained.
But the rocket launcher is so useful. Other troops also know about it.
The so-called other troops are other regiments of the 120th Division. Including the teaching brigade that is still besieging Datong in the north, etc.
They also need such tools for working hard.
"How much do you need?"
"Fifty for each group, okay?"
"Fifty?"
"Thirty is fine!"
"..."
"It's really not possible. Twenty or ten are okay."
Wu Guangqi made concessions repeatedly.
He thought Zhang Chu was in trouble. He couldn't get so many rocket launchers.
After all, their four regiments got four hundred. If each other regiment also wanted one hundred, the number would be an exaggeration.
"Fifty for each group!"
"There are rocket launchers. But I guess you can't carry so many rocket launchers..."
Zhang Chu said to himself.
Suddenly a thought occurred to me. That’s not right! It can be moved!
Bayi Logistics is famous all over the world.
As long as the county is occupied by our army, ammunition can be supplied.
Can supply bulk supplies.
The bulk supplies include various types of ammunition.
The only requirement is that you need to start with a million dollars each time.
If it is artillery shells, it costs 15 dollars per shot. One million dollars is about 70,000 rounds.
In other words, the rockets delivered each time must exceed 70,000 rounds.
"Rockets, please go to the nearest county to get them."
"It's just inside the Bayi Logistics Yard."
"The cargo yard must be cleared as quickly as possible so that the second batch of materials can be transported."
