If the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft artillery does not have radar, but fires according to pre-calculated parameters, then its range of action will be limited to the sky above this area.
As long as the Eighth Route Army tanks move, no need to move much, they only need to drive a few hundred meters out of this area, and the Japanese bombers can attack with confidence...The Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft artillery can only stare at it, because they can't count the elements at every position.
It can provide cover for the sky above it.
Therefore, it is actually very simple for the Japanese bombers to win. They only need to hover and wait in the sky, and the Eighth Route Army tanks will not dare to leave.
The Eighth Route Army's tanks did not dare to leave, which meant that the Japanese tanks could do whatever they wanted.
But Maruyama Kihara understood too late.
Moreover, when he used the radio to send the information out at the last moment, it was also transmitted internally... The radio stations at this time had not yet been integrated. For example, aircraft like Maruyama had to install two radios for convenience, one for internal and one for external use.
Maruyama turned on the internal radio station at the last moment.
So the news was only passed to a few squadron leaders, but none of these squadron leaders survived. So until the last moment, Okamura Neji still didn't know this extremely important military information.
The wingman also received the news from Maruyama Kihara, but he was too nervous to judge the value of this information. He was more concerned about life and death.
So the wingman yelled at the top of his lungs: "Major is loyal, Major is loyal to the empire..."
When the other subordinates heard this, they also roared and flew the plane in circles to bomb the target.
However, while bombing, they also passed through the barrages of anti-aircraft guns time and time again.
I was lucky not to die once, but twice, three times...
There will always be a time when he will be destroyed.
Wang Xuexin stood on Luotuoling and looked at the battlefield in the distance with a telescope.
From his position, he could only see the clouds of smoke exploding in the sky and the piles of fire on the ground after the plane was shot down... But this was enough, because it was telling Wang Xuexin that the enemy bombers did not occupy the slightest bit.
It's cheap, and it refuses to retreat even though it knows it's a loss.
This seems to be the enemy's fighting style.
This style is indeed very useful for the army, because the army has a large number of people, and those who are not afraid of death can often turn a defeated battle into a victory.
But the aviation force also uses this style...it can only be said to be stupid.
Aviation troops have to consider not only themselves, but also the aircraft and their skills in flying the aircraft.
The aircraft at this time can be said to be precious to the Japanese, especially in the Chinese battlefield... The Japanese want to put more aviation forces on the Pacific battlefield, and the Chinese battlefield will destroy one less aircraft.
The pilots also shot down one less one.
But it's good that the Japanese have this style. Otherwise, if the Japanese pilots come back a few times and find that the Eighth Route Army fires anti-aircraft artillery according to the preset settings, it will not be easy to operate.
In fact, there are ways to operate it and the Eighth Route Army tanks are not completely immobile as others think.
The Eighth Route Army must use the method of releasing smoke to move between two ambush points. If it leaves this line, it will be attacked by the enemy's air power.
Soon, Chen Songyong ran out of the bunker and said excitedly: "Battalion Commander, we repelled the Japanese planes, 32 planes, and in the end only two escaped with injuries!"
Immediately a burst of cheers from the soldiers broke out all around.
Then another correspondent sent the phone to Wang Xuexin and said: "Batalion Commander, the call of the regiment commander!"
As soon as Wang Xuexin answered the phone, he heard Li Yunlong laughing "hey hey hey" over there: "Xiao Dongbei, good fight! I used to get drunk and say some stupid things, and yelled that I wanted to fight the Japanese plane.
Others still say that we are bragging, but today we really showed them what we are capable of! You kid, show your face to us as the leader of the independent group!"
After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "The plane has been destroyed. It's the turn of the Japanese tank troops, right? Give me a hard beating and show those guys in the Jinsui Army what fighting looks like!"
"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin responded, put down the phone and ordered: "Order the tank troops to advance at full speed and quickly reinforce the Shanxi-Sui Army!"
"Yes!" Chen Songyong immediately used the radio to convey the order.
Over there, Gangzi had just poked his head out of the tank turret and looked around blankly... This place was an open space not long ago, but now it is already full of aircraft wreckage, some far and near, some with their tails standing in the air have fallen.
It was torn apart, with parts and fragments scattered everywhere, and some were burned and were emitting fire and black smoke.
After being stunned for a while, Gangzi asked: "How many of our tanks have been destroyed?"
The gunner's reply came from inside the tank: "Report to the company commander, one of our T26s was destroyed, and the rest of the bombed tanks were fake tanks!"
The target of the fake tank is more obvious, and of course it will be regarded as a priority attack target by the enemy at that critical moment.
Gangzi scratched his head, exchanging one tank for thirty aircraft was a good deal!
Although it is a pity that a few comrades were sacrificed, but war...
Gangzi sighed, turned back and asked, "Is the radio turned on?"
The gunner wearing the earphones did not answer. He listened for a while and then said: "The battalion commander ordered us to reinforce the Shanxi-Sui Army at full speed!"
Gangzi nodded and ordered: "Let's go!"
"Set off!"
"Set off!"
…
The orders were passed down one after another, and a tank drove out of the bunker and headed towards Yuncheng with the sound of a "rumbling" motor.
At this time, the Japanese's 25th Tank Regiment had just arrived at the second line of defense of the Jinsui Army.
However, the 25th Tank Regiment did not hesitate and launched a fierce attack on the Jinsui Army just after contacting the enemy without any rest.
The commander of the 25th Tank Regiment is Chimi Konno, a lieutenant colonel who returned from studying abroad in Hans.
Chimi Konno was not able to become the captain of the 25th Tank Regiment, but in fact he still benefited from Hans.
The reason is that Hans's tanks were showing off at the Bear at this time, encircling and attacking with various pincers, and using a bunch of less advanced tanks to defeat the Bear without the ability to fight back.
Now, the Eighth Route Army also uses Mao Xiong tanks, especially several T34 tanks.
Okamura Neiji thought that since Chimi Konno had learned tank tactics from Hans, he might be more suitable and more promising to defeat the tank force of the Eighth Route Army.
So Chimi Konno was appointed commander of the 25th Tank Regiment.
Otherwise, a tank regiment equipped with more than twenty "Type 1" tanks should at least be commanded by a colonel with rich combat experience, and Lieutenant Commander Konno would not be able to do so.
Chimi Konno seemed to have inherited Hans's "blitzkrieg" style. He completely ignored the infantry group behind him and directly led the tank regiment to launch a fierce attack on the second line of defense.
This really caught the Jinsui Army off guard.
Because the Japanese came so fast, in less than half an hour, they were not mentally prepared and had no anti-tank equipment... all the rocket launchers were concentrated on the first line of defense.
