Chapter 855: You told me this is called Tubal Road?
"Lao Li, Deputy Commander Xing sent a telegram that eight medium bombers and new aerial bombs have arrived at Dagu Town Airport."
Cai Dongcun, the headquarters of the new regiment, Zhao Gang held a telegram in his hand and said to Li Yunlong.
Chief of Staff Wang Dehou is on his way with the main force.
However, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang have already set up a temporary regiment headquarters in Caidong Village, waiting for the large troops to arrive.
Prepare to launch an attack on the Japanese positions tomorrow.
"oh?"
Li Yunlong took the telegram and read it, his eyes lit up slightly.
After killing Naosaburo Okabe, Li Yunlong sent a telegram to Boss Chen to receive the medium bomber and new aerial bomb first.
As for heavy howitzers, Katyushas and other prices, Li Yunlong plans to wait until the battle is over before accepting the goods.
"The power of this new type of aerial bomb should be very exciting!" Li Yunlong's eyes were full of expectation.
Before setting off, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had already seen the information and data of the new aerial bomb.
There are not only pictures, but also its performance data. It weighs 5.4 tons, is 6.4 meters long with tail fin, has a maximum diameter of 0.965 meters, and is filled with 2.3 tons of aluminum powder mixed-D1 explosive inside.
The power can only be described as terrifying.
After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "You can use it to blow up the Japs in the tunnels, you can also use it to blow up warships, and you can even use it to blow up fortresses. It can penetrate 5 meters thick concrete fortifications, which is better than the B4 heavy howitzer.
It’s even more powerful.”
"Yes, Lao Li!" Zhao Gang nodded, "This ground-penetrating bomb came just in time. The Japanese stole our tunnel tactics and wanted to use tunnel tactics to kill a large number of our soldiers. This ground-penetrating bomb came in handy this time.
.”
"That old devil Naosaburo Okabe came just in time."
Li Yunlong smiled slightly:
"If he doesn't come, we want to get medium bombers and earth-penetrating bombs, but we don't know when."
"but…"
"Judging from the paper data, this weapon's damage capability is very strong, but the mule must be pulled out first."
Although the A20 attack aircraft has relatively strong firepower, it is a light bomber after all.
And in the first aircraft list given by Boss Chen, there were only light bombers, fighters, transport aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft.
Although the Goblet is relatively large, the belly of the B25 bomber with improved systems can accommodate a Goblet aerial bomb.
In other words, the B25 modified bomber given by the system was specially developed for goblet bombs.
This super-heavy aerial bomb is a free-fall guided bomb that can simply adjust its trajectory during free fall. It uses visual observation and radio command guidance. Two sets of octahedral rings are installed in series at the rear of the missile.
The latter set of wings has control surfaces that can adjust the trajectory in response to instructions from the bombardier.
Li Yunlong said: "Let's attack the Japs' positions tomorrow first and see how the tunnel tactics the Japs have learned go."
The Japanese troops in Guizhou were at their wits end, and when their troops, weapons and equipment were inferior to those of the Eighth Route Army, they resorted to tunnel tactics.
But Li Yunlong didn't panic at all.
This time is a real large-scale battle. The Eighth Route Army has sufficient troops and combat supplies, so it can slowly play with the Japanese.
Zhao Gang also smiled slightly: "We can be regarded as master beating apprentice."
"Be our apprentice." Li Yunlong said in a disdainful tone, "Are you worthy of being a Japanese?"
In the evening of that day, the infantry battalions and heavy weapons troops of the New Regiment marched 50 kilometers and, under the leadership of Wang Dehou, arrived at Dongcai Village.
After a night's rest, the soldiers refreshed themselves.
The next day, each unit launched an attack on the defense line of the Japanese Fifth Division in accordance with the combat plan issued by the regiment headquarters.
In the other direction, the New Second Regiment, led by Ding Wei, arrived in the Nitun Town area north of Taiyuan, preparing to launch an attack on the Japs of the 41st Division.
at the same time.
The main force of the 129th Division, led by the division commander, has arrived at the Taigu defense line and is preparing to launch an attack on the Japanese from the two divisions of the Taigu defense line.
The two divisions defending the Taigu defense line are the 24th Division and the 28th Division transferred from Taigu.
These two divisions, with a total of 30,000 men, abandoned the Taigu line of defense originally penetrated by the 129th Division, and all adopted tunnel and anti-slope tactics in an attempt to massacre the Eighth Route Army's effective forces.
…
After a morning of preparations.
The artillerymen of each artillery battalion of the new regiment have already constructed artillery positions.
The barrels of cannons of various calibers were raised high, with the muzzles pointing in the direction of the Japanese positions.
On the walkie-talkie, each artillery battalion commander reported to the regiment headquarters that the artillery positions were ready and ready to fire at any time.
In the headquarters, Li Yunlong calmly issued the order:
"Give me the order to fire!"
After giving the order, Li Yunlong quickly walked to the headquarters and looked in the direction of the Japanese position through the sight of the scissor-shaped artillery mirror.
The headquarters of the new regiment also moved forward, about 2 kilometers away from the Japanese forward position.
"The commander ordered, fire!"
Wang Dehou put down the phone on the walkie-talkie in his hand, and then walked quickly to Li Yunlong's side.
Not long after the order from the regiment headquarters was issued, loud boom-boom-boom firing sounds were heard from each artillery position.
Boom boom boom…
Soon, a group of fierce artillery shells flew straight to the Japanese artillery position, and landed on the Japanese position one by one. The violent explosion waves rose up continuously.
Since it was known that there was no one on the surface of the Japanese position, the artillery unit of the new regiment did not conduct a test fire in advance. Instead, they used precise methods to determine the firing points and directly aimed at the Japanese position to cover the artillery fire.
The explosion effect was very good, and the Japanese position in front was quickly engulfed by the explosion fireball.
In a tunnel at the rear, there is the headquarters of the Fifth Division.
Amidst the rumbling sound of cannons, the entire tunnel was shaking, the electric light above the head was shaking wildly, and the dust shaken by the cannonballs continued to fall.
"There are at least 500 cannons on Tubal Road!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hamajima Yanlang looked solemn, but Matsui Taotairo said expressionlessly:
"And many of them are above 105 mm in caliber, including many 150 mm and 200 mm caliber cannons."
From the perspective of Matsui Tataro, who had been severely beaten by Shinichi, this was not a big scene.
The night before yesterday was a really big scene. Hundreds of aerial bombs and dozens of powerful incendiary bombs fell. It was like a purgatory on earth, easily harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers.
As for this wave of Eighth Route Army shelling, the Japanese soldiers were hiding in the tunnels, and the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells could not explode at all.
"The new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is so rich!?"
Listening to Matsui Taitaro's analysis and feeling the continuous roaring and rumbling artillery fire, Hamajima Yanro's face became more solemn.
A mere regiment was actually equipped with more than 500 cannons, and many of them were large-caliber heavy artillery.
According to the establishment of the Japanese army, this is at least the establishment of four artillery divisions.
The artillery establishment of the Japanese army only consisted of heavy artillery brigades, and the entire Japanese Army only had a few artillery brigades.
The Fifth Division is a Category A division and a permanent division of the Japanese army. It enjoys the best equipment and manpower supply of the Japanese Army, and the Fifth Division has been reorganized into a mechanized division.
But compared with the New Regiment, the Fifth Division is simply the difference between a beggar and a rich man.
You told me this is called Tubal Road?
So what is the locust army?
Locust army?
Hamajima Yanlang was a little lucky. Fortunately, tunnel tactics were adopted. Otherwise, with the previous defense tactics of civil fortifications, the Fifth Division would have suffered heavy losses just from the shelling of the 500 cannons of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
The Japs in the division headquarters also all fell silent.
Which imperial division can defeat the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in a field battle?
In ten minutes at most, the entire field fortification bunker and the mine array in front of the position will be destroyed by the Eighth Route Army's artillery.
"Wait until the bombardment is over."
Matsui Taitarou looked calm:
"Send death squads into position immediately."
In addition to heavy artillery and aircraft, the Eighth Route Army also had heavy tanks in the eyes of the Japs. The Japs' 37 and 47 mm cannons could not destroy its frontal armor, let alone the 20 mm anti-tank guns.
but.
In order to deal with the heavy tanks of the Eighth Route Army, the First Army prepared four types of anti-tank mines for the Japanese of the Fifth Division.
In Matsui Taro's view, the tactics of the Eighth Route Army were not commendable, so he should learn from the tactics of the Locust Army.
After the artillery bombardment is finished, the infantry and tank troops rush forward, and the infantry and tank troops rush forward and the artillery bombardment is finished.
But even with this simple tactic, it was difficult for the Japanese army to parry, and Matsui Tataro didn't know whether the fourth-type anti-tank mine could work.
"Hi!"
All the Japanese officers lowered their heads in unison, with stern expressions on their faces.
Those who can join the fifth division are almost all fanatics, and they are officers, with attributes of bushido and loyalty to the Locust. Seeing that the division commander does not panic at all, the Japanese officers quickly regain their morale.
…
The new regiment's artillery bombardment only lasted 15 minutes and ended, and the entire field civil engineering works on the surface of the Japanese army were directly destroyed.
Even the front of the Japanese position was plowed by the artillery using Xu Jin's barrage tactics.
To prevent attacking infantry from stepping on mines.
But it was not over yet. Not long after the new round of artillery fire ended, another buzzing sound sounded in the sky.
When the Japanese death squads who had just emerged from the tunnel heard this sound, their expressions changed greatly and they turned around and went back into the tunnel.
Dozens of black spots rushed toward the Japanese position from high altitude at extremely high speeds.
Boom boom boom…
The aircraft of the new regiment dropped a large area of aerial bombs, which fell in scattered patterns on the Japanese positions.
With the thundering roar, the enemy's newly plowed position instantly turned into a sea of fire.
In the headquarters of the New Regiment, looking at the spectacular sight of a sea of fire in front of him, Li Yunlong felt comfortable all over and smiled with satisfaction.
Looking at the firepower in front of him, Commander Li felt that his phobia of lack of firepower had finally been mostly cured, but it was not cured yet.
Although the firepower in front of him was already very strong and would be top-notch on the European battlefield, Li Yunlong still felt that it was not interesting.
I wonder how powerful the mushroom eggs that Boss Chen mentioned are?
Can you cure my lack of firepower phobia?
Li Yunlong suddenly remembered a kind of mushroom egg that Boss Chen mentioned.
