796 Ding Wei: Showing off his power in straight-line combat (2)
..."Tell everyone, don't worry, our target is the three Japanese tanks. Everything else doesn't matter, as long as we can destroy the tanks!"
Zhang Changzhi, leader of the anti-tank combat team, explained in a low voice.
He led the soldiers to stand still and watched the leading Japanese cavalry pass through the anti-tank minefield smoothly.
There are explosives buried under the central area of the mountain road.
But it won't cause an explosion just because a horse's hoof steps on it.
This is an explosive package that has been developed and produced by the Independent Regiment Repair Institute for a long time, and the technology is now becoming increasingly perfect and can be detonated remotely.
The detonator and the explosive bag are connected by wires, and the electric detonator is detonated by electric current.
At this moment, a total of twelve detonators are in the hands of the lurking soldiers.
The pulled out wires were buried under the soil, and the surface was naturally treated.
Because these tasks required careful attention, it took nearly thirty minutes.
The Japanese are moving very fast and cannot be noticed.
This kind of explosive pack that can be operated manually is undoubtedly the best weapon to deal with the devils, making it difficult to guard against.
In this way, the first few Japanese cavalrymen successfully walked out of the minefield.
The Japs in the rear saw the cavalry passing through unharmed, and had no doubts. Amidst the roar of their engines, several tanks and armored vehicles followed them into the minefield.
The tanks leading the Japs officially entered the central area of the minefield.
Zhang Changzhi never hesitated.
A loud shout: "Hit——"
Bang bang bang——
The soldiers who had been preparing for the attack pressed the detonators on hand.
Electric current passes through the wire as a carrier and propagates out at the speed of light.
Boom——
The huge explosion that followed was shocking.
This time, in order to deal with the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, the remotely detonated explosive packs used by the soldiers were quite heavy. One explosive pack weighed nearly twenty kilograms.
Twelve explosive packets were placed in groups of three at a certain distance, creating a total of four triangular anti-tank minefields.
At this moment, an explosion suddenly occurred, and the explosion area enveloped almost all the Japanese armored vehicles and tank vehicles.
The bottom armor of the Japanese tank is already weak.
Under the huge shock wave, the Japanese light tank was the first to be torn into pieces.
Immediately afterwards, the two Type 89 medium tanks were not spared.
In the center of the violent explosion, even a tank made of steel was still as fragile as a piece of paper.
After the explosion, the Japanese's three tanks and four armored vehicles all stopped in place. Most of the armor was shattered into pieces, and smoke from the explosion curled up from some of the remaining wreckage.
Nakamura, the captain of the Japanese chariot team, personally drove a Type 89 tank, took the lead, and died directly in the explosion.
However, Miki, the old Japanese who led the cavalry unit to follow up, managed to survive.
The earth-shattering explosion filled the old devil's eyes with horror.
Before the little devils could recover, Zhang Changzhi led the soldiers from the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment and launched an attack directly from both sides of the hillside towards the little devils down the mountain road.
Without the fire support and armor cover of the tank.
The devils riding on the war horses, together with the war horses, are nothing but flesh and blood.
Zhou Ran was ambushed and casualties spread rapidly.
The old Japanese Miki ignored the shock and anger in his heart and hurriedly issued the order to retreat.
After braving fire all the way to break out, Miki looked to the left and right and saw that there were less than fifty riders left around him.
The chariot squadron was completely wiped out, and most of his cavalry squadron was also wiped out. The tragic defeat made Miki feel humiliated, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Looking at the green trees in the ambush area and the Eighth Route Army troops that might be lurking among them, the old Japanese Miki experienced what it means to feel despair.
"Contact the headquarters immediately. Our unit's roundabout operation to block the Eighth Route Army has completely failed. Please adjust the deployment immediately and beware of the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack from the back!"
Miki, who looked mostly lonely, ordered.
But he said that Sun Zhenguo, who was leading the soldiers of the straight-moving team to quickly make a detour to the back of the Shanuchi Regiment, suddenly ordered the troops to stop while he was on the way.
"Batalion Commander, what's wrong?"
Sun Zhenguo said: "Comrades, the situation has changed. Think about it, now that the Japanese have noticed our detour from the flank, they have also sent chariots and tank troops to stop the attack.
This means that even if we can circle back to the Japs at this moment, the Japs have probably already deployed rearguard troops and prepared defenses in advance.
In this case, we don’t have many troops and have lost the advantage of surprise attack, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to take any advantage!”
The cadres who suddenly came to their senses were convinced.
"Batalion Commander, what should we do now?"
As expected of a general who has followed Ding Wei for many years, Sun Zhenguo's eyes became extremely determined after thinking for a moment.
"In this way, the original plan of attacking from the back and flank of the Japanese army is cancelled, and we will directly penetrate from the flank."
The company commander hesitated and said: "Battalion Commander, make a direct attack from the flank. The little devil probably didn't expect it.
Just attacking from the flank is much more dangerous than attacking from the back.
If we attack from the back and side, we can use our mobility to evacuate quickly. However, if we attack from the flanks, the Japanese army can easily outflank us from both sides and trap us in an encirclement."
It's like a sneak attack on the snake's tail and the snake's flanks.
If you attack from the flank, you will easily be entangled by snakes.
Sun Zhenguo said flatly: "I can't control so much now.
We don't beat the Japs here. Once the Japs calm down, the Second Independent Regiment will be passive.
This is the first time our direct-vehicle team has shown its face in combat. Even if you lose your life, you can’t lose your face.
If we leave the danger to the comrades of the Independent Regiment, then are we still considered soldiers?"
"Yes!"
The company commander did not hesitate anymore and quickly cooperated with Sun Zhenguo. He led the comrades of the direct driving team to quickly adjust their direction. They no longer detoured to the back of the Japanese army, but directly attacked the right rear side of the Yamauchi Regiment at a nearly vertical angle. Take advantage of the rapid maneuverability of your bike.
Waiting to appear on the right rear side of Guizishanchi United Team.
The soldiers of the new regiment were like magic soldiers descending from the sky, and they really caught the Japanese by surprise.
"Reporting to the commander, our army's flank was attacked by the Eighth Route Army. The flank guard suffered heavy casualties. We request immediate reinforcements!"
When the news reached the headquarters of the Yamauchi Regiment, the old Japanese man Yamauchi's face was so gloomy that he was about to burst into tears.
The chariot squad and the cavalry squadron failed to intercept the eight-way outflanking force. I thought that they would have no worries if they reinforced the defense on the back and sides.
But who could have expected that these Tubalists would be so rampant and attack directly from the flanks?
When the battle reached this level, Yamauchi had to admit that he underestimated the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
This Eighth Route Army team is rumored to be extremely difficult to deal with, giving Commander Yoshio Shinozuka a headache.
It’s really not easy to mess with.
I calmed down and suppressed the anger in my heart. The front line was being beaten back by the Eighth Route Army. There was actually an Eighth Route Army on the flank who dared to launch a surprise attack with great fanfare.
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable?
Yamauchi issued a military order in an unambiguous tone, "Order the forward troops to deploy defenses on the spot to block the eight-pronged attack from the front. Immediately reinforce the troops on the flanks. Go around and wipe out all the eight-pronged troops who dare to attack from the flanks. No one will be left alive."
."
"Hi!"
In the area where the firefight was taking place, I saw the little devils going crazy, attacking one after another, and the troops quickly encircling the flanks.
Sun Zhenguo led the soldiers of the straight-line team to retreat while fighting, with a lot of bitterness on his face.
"Okay, now we've really stirred up a hornet's nest!"
