Seal the gate, the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
In the crowded combat staff room, Cheng Shifa stood alone in the center of the room, staring intently at the military sand table in front of him. He looked very excited.
There is no other way, this action is related to his battle for fame.
Many people can't wait for such an opportunity in their lifetime, and it would be difficult for anyone else to remain absolutely calm.
“Old Ding, how long do you think it will take for the comrades of the Armored Regiment to complete the second step of our plan?”
“Forty-eight hours? Or longer?”
Hearing the call from his old comrade-in-arms, Ding Wei first handed the document in hand to the staff officer on the side, and then came to the other party's side in three steps and two steps at a time.
Following Cheng Shifa's gaze, he pointed to the enemy fortifications in the northwest of Jiyuan, and said with a slightly exaggerated expression:
"Forty-eight hours? How dare you think about it. The Twelfth Japanese Army has accumulated more than 30,000 people at the northern gate of Henan. Even if it is more than 30,000 pigs, we can't catch them all even if we work for two days and two nights."
"What's more, there are several rivers along the way. Even with the help of engineers, crossing the river is still a problem."
“However, considering the superior mobility and combat effectiveness of the armored regiment, I think seventy-two hours is a more reasonable number.”
In modern warfare, except for some special situations that require squatting in high-level fortresses for defense, armies of all countries have repeatedly emphasized the importance of mobility.
Once you lose mobility, no matter how powerful your firepower is, there is a high probability that you will fall into the dilemma of being passively beaten.
On the contrary, excellent mobility can even allow one army to be used as several armies.
Facing the turtle shell carefully deployed by the Japanese army in Jiyuan, Cheng Shifa and Ding Wei decisively dispatched the most elite armored troops from both wings of the battlefield after the artillery preparations were completed.
Your name is Maginot. Only a fool would choose to fight in front of the defense line.
Even if you can't go around from the side, you still have to look for opportunities to attack from the weakest point of defense.
You think that's right, Lao Dai?
Just as Ding and Cheng were deducing, a cheerful correspondent walked into the combat conference room and handed them a telegram from the front line.
“Report! The 1st and 2nd Armored Regiments are calling!”
“Both regiment commanders Gao and Liu have defeated the first wave of enemies, and they have now officially broken into the hinterland of the Japanese!”
In the ground battles during World War II, only tanks had the ability to carry firepower all the way to the enemy's position before all the machine guns and artillery of the defenders were suppressed.
The strategic depth in the northern Henan region is not very large. The armored units of the Eighth Route Army can charge forward to the end. There is no need to worry about the supply lines getting longer and longer, making our own side a logistical problem.
This is the reason why the first and second regiments advanced so quickly.
Hearing this, Cheng Shifa slapped the edge of the sand table hard, his face full of excitement.
Then he took matters into his own hands and moved the small red flag symbolizing the armored troops forward one square.
If someone looks down from a high altitude at this time, they will find that the fiercely attacking 1st and 2nd Armored Regiments are like the sharp claws of a giant crab, clawing fiercely towards the enemy's throat.
"The two wings are interspersed to encircle the enemy in the center. What a pincer offensive!" "Pass my order! Let the 3rd Cavalry Regiment and the 59th Regiment on standby in the rear set off now. Fill up the vacated battle line, don't Give the enemy any chance to counterattack!"
Seeing that the communication soldier was about to leave, Ding Wei hurriedly stopped him and added:
“By the way, send someone to bring the prisoners back! We'll talk about the public trial after the war!”
"yes!"
Facing the puppet troops surrendering in droves in front of him, the third battalion commander of the Armored Regiment shook his head helplessly. A moment later, he stood on the roof of his command vehicle and shouted in an extremely domineering voice:
“All traitors and devils, please listen to me! Our Eighth Route Army accepts your surrender!”
"But! Get out of the way now! Our army is not responsible for collecting prisoners. Infantry and cavalry will come to accept your surrender later!"
“If anyone tries to escape, there will be consequences at your own risk!”
"ah?"
As soon as these words came out, chatter came from the puppet army group.
How rare it is that we have been traitors for so long, and this is the first time we have seen the Eighth Route Army who didn't even want prisoners.
They are all achievements, why should they be given away?
However, there was no thought of escaping in their minds.
In the battle just now, two squadrons of Japanese led 1,500 Imperial Army troops. Under the cover of half-buried bunkers and gun towers, they actually did not hold out for even half an hour.
With this kind of fighting power, who would dare to run away?
What's more, the speed of two legs cannot be compared to four wheels.
Thinking of this, the traitors all looked at the armored vehicle parked not far away.
That's right, it is a four-wheeled light armored vehicle produced by Awakening Brave Tiger System and modified from Sd.Kfz.222.
Comparing with the original version of German III, the Shandong Kongfuzi 222 of the Reconnaissance Company of the Eighth Route Army Armored Regiment not only changed its appearance, but also added a little bit of protection capability while keeping its tonnage and mobility unchanged.
Under normal circumstances, the main mission of wheeled combat vehicles is reconnaissance and providing a little fire support to infantry units. At most, they can bully the small jeeps of the SAS.
Due to the unique matching mechanism of the Asian battlefield, the reinforced Shandong Kongfuzi 222 can completely block the Type 92 heavy machine gun fire, and can even carry a 20mm machine gun and heavy machine gun to the temporary resistance line.
After clearing a path forward, the 88 Cicada tanks of the entire armored regiment continued to advance. Following the light tank battalion were two motorized infantry battalions operating in coordination on trucks.
Of course, as the elite of the Eighth Route Army, the support company of the Armored Regiment is naturally inhumane.
With an armored reconnaissance company, a motorized artillery company, an engineer company, an armored communications company, as well as regular armor service units and logistics supply and maintenance units, the combat effectiveness must be guaranteed.
The above is not complete. After all, the preliminary establishment is still an experimental version, and vacancies such as anti-aircraft artillery companies and anti-tank companies have not yet been filled by other units.
Just as the large army was about to leave, a puppet brigade commander suddenly had an idea.
The man knelt down directly in front of the Eighth Route Army soldier guarding him, hugged the other man's leg and shouted loudly in an attempt to attract the attention of others.
“Eighth Master! I want to pay my dues! I have important military information to report! It's about the Japanese army's defense situation a few kilometers away!” (End of this chapter)
