1034 Various types of tanks(2/2)
It's just that after the battle lines of both sides gradually advanced to the center line defense area of the Eighth Route Army base area, everything changed.
Facing the extremely strong concrete fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army, even the various types of Japanese artillery, including Type 92, Type 41, etc., basically had no obvious effect.
Unless large-caliber heavy artillery is mobilized, it is extremely difficult to transport these artillery in mountainous areas, and the defensive positions of the Eighth Route are even more interconnected.
The enemy's offensive was extremely difficult.
Their opponent, the Eighth Route Army, was completely different from those Chiang Kai-shek troops in the past.
Chiang Kai-shek's troops fought around the city. Once the city was lost, there was basically no position to defend. They would either be wiped out or have no choice but to collapse and flee.
The Eighth Route Army, on the other hand, placed the battlefield within the base area, surrounded by mountains, ravines and canyons. It was easy to build fortifications that were easy to defend and difficult to attack based on the terrain. Once defeated, they could withdraw in an orderly manner at any time.
In the end, the Japanese spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and even suffered huge sacrifices, but all they got was a cold position.
There are countless positions like this in the entire Eighth Route Army base area.
As Ding Wei said: "We will give the little devil as much as he wants!"
"After the sweep is over, it is impossible for the Japanese to leave the counties and towns and come to occupy these positions of ours. Those who fought hard must be returned to us intact."
This is exactly the "drag" tactic decided by the boss and the deputy chief of staff at the general headquarters to launch against the Japanese army in the Shanxi battlefield, Taihang, Taiyue and Zhongtiao Mountain base areas.
While relying on the solid defense system built in the base area to block the Japanese raids, the soldiers were secretly preparing for the final counterattack.
It is the end of the week when the Japanese are raiding, and it is the time when people and horses are exhausted.
……
……
West of the Loop.
It was probably still dark, but a group of armored troops emerged from nowhere and suddenly appeared on the outside of the southbound defensive position of the Japanese Nanzhi Chariot Brigade. Then they launched a fierce bombardment, firing dozens of shots.<
/p>
On the defensive position of the Japanese army, only the sound of artillery was heard, and the little devils who were awakened hurriedly went into battle.
Inside the headquarters, the old Japanese soldier Nanjirokuro received news that armored units of the Chinese army appeared and launched a sneak attack on the empire's southward defense line.
Nanji Rokuro was furious. If it was the infantry and cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, that would be fine. Knowing that he was the most elite armored brigade unit of the Empire of Japan, he dared to sneak attack with chariots and tanks. This was clearly a provocation from the Chinese army.
.
Of course, as a famous general with outstanding military exploits in the Songhu Battle, Nan Zhi, an old devil, is not confused.
Since he led the tank group to the Mongolian region, most of the 35th Route Army has remained stationary, and the original armored units have basically been disabled by him.
What is the situation with this armored force that suddenly appeared again?
Is it still the 35th Route Army, or are reinforcements from the Chinese army arriving?
"Contact the headquarters immediately, request air reinforcements, conduct a detailed investigation of the area where enemy armored forces appear, and be sure to find out the enemy's situation!"
"Hi!"
Shortly after Nanzhi's request was issued, five or six Japanese reconnaissance aircraft departed from Wuchagou Airport and rushed to the coordinate area provided by Nanzhi to conduct aerial reconnaissance.
The next day, the Japanese Air Force reconnaissance team returned and reported the situation:
Chapter completed!
