As soon as the battle started, Li Yunlong felt something was wrong.
Because as soon as you go into battle, you break through the enemy's frontal defense line...
Li Yunlong cursed: "Damn it, the one blocking our front is the Japanese's 21st Division. Break through this frontal defense line...and then charge in and let them surround us?"
Zhao Gang snorted: "Old Li, aren't you scared? This is not like you!"
"Who is afraid!" Li Yunlong glared and replied: "I am worried about doing a loss-making business. What I seize is not worth what I take out!"
At this time, Zhao Gang handed over another telegram and said: "You are right, our army is only responsible for tearing apart the enemy's frontal defense line and penetrating into the enemy's hinterland... leave it to the Hundred Battle Group!"
After hearing this, Li Yunlong was stunned for a long time and did not come back to his senses.
Only then did he understand that when the chief heard him say "Whoever captures it belongs to whom", he would reply: "This is what you said, don't regret it!"
But what's the use of understanding it? The matter is now here, the task has been assigned, how can you say that you won't do it and just don't do it!
Li Yunlong could only say "Oh" and took off his hat and admitted that he was unlucky. He did not dare to admit it in front of Zhao Gang, but in his heart he cursed: "Damn it, this time I really beat the dog and let others eat the meat!"
But things were not as simple as Li Yunlong thought.
Because Li Yunlong was not "beating a dog", the real "dog" he wanted to beat was not the 21st Division stationed outside Yuncheng at all, but the Japanese mechanized troops.
It was not difficult for the Independent Regiment to tear apart the defense line, because after three minutes of rocket bombardment, it was immediately followed by an attack by the Independent Regiment's tank battalion.
It is true that the tanks of this era did not have night fighting capabilities, but the tank battalions of the independent regiments were different. With the coordination of rocket launchers and incendiary bombs and special training for night fighting, they already had quite good night fighting capabilities.
At this time, on the other side of the ocean, Hans's infrared night vision device should have been developed and used on armored vehicles and tanks to deal with furry bears... It is said that this is because furry bears always launch sneak attacks on Hans at night, which forces Hans to have to
Not tinkering with active night vision equipment that can detect targets at night.
But objectively speaking, although the active night vision device at this time sounds high-end, it may not be as good as a rocket launcher that fires incendiary bombs in actual combat.
The main reason is that this active night vision device is an infrared detector, which can only see a faint figure due to the limitation of detection power.
If at this moment, several incendiary bombs explode nearby and release a large amount of heat, the originally blurry figure will basically disappear.
The Japanese tanks have neither night vision devices nor night fighting capabilities. The 21st Division is still equipped with the Japanese "Type 1" tanks.
The "Type 1" tank is indeed thickly armored and has strong firepower. It is undoubtedly stronger than other Japanese tanks.
The problem is that his opponent is "t34".
In front of the "T34", the armor and firepower of the Japanese "Type 1" tank are almost worth mentioning.
In this case, the "Type 1" is not as good as the "Type 95"... because they are no different in front of the "T34". They are all taken away with one shot, but the maneuverability and safety of the "Type 1" light combat are much better than that of the "Type 1"
.
The result can be imagined. The Japanese's "Type 1" tanks hurriedly came for reinforcements, but were attacked by the independent regiment's tank battalion and suffered heavy casualties in a single charge. The 21st Division's defense line was torn open in front of Yuncheng.
A gap two kilometers wide.
Once the hole was opened, the fifth battalion of the Hundred Battle Regiment thrust through the gap like a sharp knife.
Li Yunlong angrily stared at the shoulder bags that passed one after another in front of him, and cursed faintly: "Damn it, where did I put my shoulder bag after I handed it over? I thought it was the chief who wanted to,
I didn’t expect it was for the Hundred Battle Group! Is there such a thing?”
From this point of view, Li Yunlong was indeed quite unjust. He only went to war to make wedding clothes for others, and one of them was his own...
But then Li Yunlong stopped talking, because the car that drove into the gap at a low speed in the dark night without turning on the lights was a "car" that he had never seen before.
"What is that?" Li Yunlong asked.
Zhao Gang looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said: "I don't know, it should be new equipment purchased by the army! Is it... the half-track car mentioned in the last meeting?"
The introduction of half-track vehicles was still a military secret at this time. Even regiment-level cadres like Li Yunlong had only "heard about it" but had never seen the real thing. They didn't even know that it had been introduced.
Li Yunlong looked at the thing that looked like a car and had tank tracks, and nodded, knowing that it was almost a half-track car.
At this time, Li Yunlong became more and more unbalanced: "Damn it, Lao Zhao, this commander is too partial. The Hundred Battle Group has so many half-track vehicles, and they can't see the end of each one, but they still want to
Our belts are taken away... isn't this bullying?"
Zhao Gang replied: "Obey the organization's arrangements. If you are not willing, hand over the air force and tanks!"
Li Yunlong immediately shut up.
The Air Force also said that this is something in name only for the independent regiment... It is only organized under the independent regiment and is not under the command of the independent regiment.
But the tank battalion is actually part of the independent regiment, and it is the only tank battalion in the army.
Zhao Gang then added: "If you are jealous, we can also make a report and exchange the tank battalion for this kind of half-track vehicle. What do you think?"
Li Yunlong made a "cut" sound: "Do you think I'm stupid or something? Trading a tank for a car? I don't care about that!"
With that said, he turned around with his hands behind his back and returned to the headquarters.
In fact, it's not that Li Yunlong doesn't care about it, but he has other plans in his heart... Damn Xiao Dongbei, didn't Xiao Dongbei get these things in exchange? Why don't you keep some for yourself? Others eat meat, so we can at least do it.
Have some soup too!
Now, luckily, not only did he not drink the soup, but he also lost a lot of rice... Li Yunlong fired more than a thousand rockets when he was suffering from heartache.
But for the Eighth Route Army, these more than a thousand rockets were worth it.
Because they not only eliminated many Japs of the 21st Division, but also paved the way for mechanized troops to move forward.
The mechanized troops also successfully drew out the Japanese mechanized troops...
As soon as the Fifth Battalion entered the gap, they quickly penetrated along the road towards the enemy's train station.
Since there were six T26 tanks in the lead, and they were also coordinated by infantry, the Japanese and puppet troops who set up obstacles on the road were killed and wounded immediately. The T26s advanced towards the target almost without stopping.
At this time, the only people who could stop them before they reached the train station were the Japs' mechanized troops in Laoyang Village.
