Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

In the defensive position of the first division, when it was bombed by Kwantung Army bombers in turn.Many reconnaissance planes also carried out reconnaissance near the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army, paying close attention to the situation around the No.11 Division.

The cavalry wing sent by the No.11 Division launched reconnaissance on the ground.The scope of reconnaissance will continue to expand, trying to confirm whether there are any troops of the Eighth Route Army lurking around.Even in the eyes of the Air Force, the ground appears to be very safe.

But in fact, the cavalry regiment of No. 11 Division once again encountered a situation that made them helpless.As long as their cavalry patrols go out of the range controlled by the main force of the division, they will be harassed by multiple groups of cavalry from the Eighth Route Army.

The reconnaissance planes sent by the Japanese army were also powerless against this kind of cavalry confrontation.After all, the Eighth Route Army also had a lot of reconnaissance cavalry teams scattered nearby, but the number of each team did not seem to be large, and they could only deal with the Japanese reconnaissance cavalry teams.

After a day of rest and watching the drama for a day, the cavalry regiment lost a lot of cavalry again.Cooperating with the situation gathered by the Air Force Reconnaissance Office during the day, Naito Masaichi roughly figured out how many Eighth Route Army he had to deal with.

In addition to the Eighth Route Army infantry on the defensive position, the number of cavalry operating around his division is probably close to [-] cavalry.But it is impossible for these cavalry to attack his division.

After all, from arriving here to today, they have built fortifications outside the temporary camp to deal with cavalry.If the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army really dared to make a surprise attack, Masaichi Naito also believed that the Eighth Route cavalry would not get any benefits.

After convening a meeting of officers above the regiment captain under his command, Masaichi Naito confirmed that the attack will be launched during the day tomorrow.At that time, the air force will provide air support and cooperate with the ground forces to try to solve the blocking forces of the Eighth Route Army in one day.

Such expectations made the captains of the Zhonglian who came to the meeting also feel very looking forward to it.After all, they were all looking forward to arriving at Xilinhot sooner, so that they would not have to live in the wild every day and sleep poorly.

But what Masaichi Naito didn't know was that when he called the captains of the alliance for a meeting, He Zhengdao also gave the order to launch a general attack tonight.In He Zhengdao's view, tonight is the time for the general attack to wipe out the No. 11 division.

'Order the artillery brigade and armored brigade to arrive at the scheduled attack position before dawn.At the same time, the first infantry division was ordered to prepare for the attack.Tonight I want to let the little devils know that they have no chance to attack next time. '

In fact, when the reconnaissance plane was wandering around the sky during the day, it was [-] kilometers away from where the Japanese army division camped.The armored brigade and artillery brigade, which had been marching in a low-key manner, were actually dangling under the little devil's nose.

Even many officers and soldiers hiding under the camouflage tents said happily: "It seems that our camouflage skills are very good! The little devil's plane has turned around a few times, but they didn't notice that we were hiding under their noses."

Officers and soldiers next to him quickly answered, "It's true that we didn't practice in the previous training! Those guys from the Air Force Brigade spent a lot of effort searching for us during the exercise!

We can now hide the little devil, that is also through special training.However, we still stay under the camouflage net and don't go outside.If the little devil sees someone, he will also become suspicious. "

If someone is in the air at this moment and looks down at the ground, they will also find that this pasture looks normal.The entire prairie still looks so quiet and peaceful.

But if there are ground cavalry troops coming over, they will find a green net covering on the roof of many armored vehicles.Under the net cover, countless officers, soldiers and chariots are resting.

It's a pity that there are cavalry troops guarding the surroundings, and the little devil's scouts can't get through at all.Based on aerial reconnaissance alone, unless it is flying close to the ground, it is impossible to find this army hidden under the camouflage net.

Such a camouflage tactic was naturally created by He Zhengdao on purpose.The purpose is also very simple, that is, I hope that the first battle of the armored brigade can give these little devils who don't know it, a big surprise! (To be continued.)

Chapter 50 Is it time to start?

The armored brigade and the artillery brigade have always been highly classified as the two killer units that He Zhengdao attaches the most importance to.He Zhengdao also hopes to test the combat effectiveness of these two troops in this battle against the Kwantung Army.

After such a long period of training, He Zhengdao felt that the two troops were already capable of participating in the battle.Compared with the artillery brigade, it is more because it is equipped with a large number of heavy artillery to form an army alone, and the armored brigade undoubtedly attracts more attention from He Zhengdao.

The armored vehicles and tanks seized from the Japanese army in the early stage were all assigned to the armored brigade after being confiscated by He Zhengdao.He Zhengdao even asked the arsenal to repair and rectify many damaged armored vehicles and tanks.

It can be said that the tanks and armored vehicles equipped by the armored brigade today, although there are still shadows of little devils.But in He Zhengdao's view, the performance of these modified tanks and armored vehicles is much better than before.

At least in terms of power and protection, He Zhengdao has given certain enhancements.He Zhengdao, who has been committed to building a modern mechanical force, also made the armored brigade and the artillery brigade the first experimental force.

A lot of manpower and material resources have been invested, so naturally it is not for viewing.This time the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces launched an offensive. Naturally, He Zhengdao would not waste two troops, but felt that these two troops should come to the battlefield to test their training results.

During the period of entering the Xilin Grassland, the armored brigade and the artillery brigade were naturally very envious of the opportunity for other main combat forces to participate in the battle.It's just that due to He Zhengdao's strict order, the two combat brigades can only maintain the practice of marching in secret.

As the troops arrived near Xilinhot, He Zhengdao gave the order to disguise and hide.The two combat brigades were always waiting for orders from the military headquarters, hoping to show off the results of their long-term training.

When the Kwantung Army's Air Force bomber fleet bombed the defensive positions of the First Infantry Division.The commanders and fighters of the armored brigade who have been resting in this pasture for three days also know that the time before they go to battle should not be long.

Looking at the Japanese reconnaissance planes flying overhead from time to time during the day, the commanders and fighters of the armored brigade and artillery brigade still seemed a little worried.Even during the time they entered the grassland, when they were resting in hiding during the day, they encountered many scout planes of little devils.

But compared to the previous little devil's reconnaissance planes, they often pass by in a hurry.During this day, the little devil's reconnaissance planes frequently flew over them, which also made them a little worried, whether the troops would be discovered by the little devil.

At least the commanders and fighters of the two brigades knew that once their whereabouts were spotted by the little devil's reconnaissance plane.Then what awaits their two brigades will be the intensive bombing of the Kwantung Army's bomber fleet.In this case, it is also difficult for them to defend.

Although both brigades are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft guns, when it comes to air defense, they all know that the anti-aircraft guns can play a limited role.If the little devil's plane chooses to drop bombs at high altitude, they will also suffer heavy losses.

Fortunately, one day passed, except for the Japanese reconnaissance planes flying by from time to time, they did not find any bombers flying over their heads.This also made the commanders and fighters resting here somewhat relieved.

At least in their opinion, the previous air defense exercises in the barracks and the air force brigade were still effective.The little devils have scouted many times, but they have not found their camouflage. It can also be seen that this camouflage is very deceptive.

When the air defense alert was lifted in the afternoon, the contact radio stations of the armored brigade and the artillery brigade rang beeps almost at the same time.As the telegram was translated, the officer on duty also seemed very excited.

Holding this newly received telegram, he immediately rushed into the combat command room of the brigade headquarters, and said excitedly: "Brigade Commander, the order has arrived!"

A few short words made the commanders of the two brigades, who had been talking on paper these days, extremely excited.After receiving the telegram, the brigade commander of the armored brigade also waved happily: "Okay, it's finally our turn!"

As the first armored brigade commander in the Eighth Route Army, Wang Hao was only a main commander of the independent column before he was transferred to the armored brigade commander.Later, because I am familiar with cars and know how to maintain them, my education level is also good.

Picking the tallest among the short ones, He Zhengdao finally appointed him as the head of the first armored regiment.Later, after the expansion of the armored regiment, he was also promoted to the commander of the armored brigade. It can be said that he is also a confidant of He Zhengdao's direct line.

However, since the establishment of the armored brigade, it has participated in only a handful of large-scale battles.Even if Wang Hao asked for a fight many times, he was still rejected by He Zhengdao.The reason is that the armored brigade does not yet have the strength to become an army to participate in the war.

In fact, Wang Hao knows better than anyone how many difficulties they have experienced in building this armored brigade from scratch.The armored vehicles and tanks equipped by the armored brigade alone have undergone many modifications and repairs.

However, the Eighth Route Army, which is currently short of fuel, can guarantee the daily training of the armored brigade, which is already a rare thing.If you want to let it play, it will take a long process even to reserve fuel.

It can be said that as far as the current situation is concerned, the armored brigade is expected to take another period of rest after finishing this battle.The reason is also very simple. They have already consumed a lot of stored fuel during their long journey to this point.

If the fuel is not seized, the tanks of their armored brigade will not be able to start.In a sense, fuel is also a major problem restricting the development of the Eighth Route Army's mechanical arms.

Although there is currently an oil field in Shaanxi that is being vigorously exploited, as far as He Zhengdao is concerned, he knows that the production volume of Yanchang Oilfield in Shaanxi is not high.Coupled with the relatively backward oil refining technology, it is impossible to produce large quantities of fuel oil.

Although He Zhengdao knows that there are a lot of underground oil resources in the places located in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.But under the current situation, He Zhengdao still dare not suggest to exploit these oil fields, because he is afraid of incurring the greed of the Japanese army.

You know, the little devil is also an oil-poor country.In the early years, they sent multiple exploration teams to try to find oil fields in many places in China.It's a pity that in the end they came to the conclusion that China has no oil resources either.

But in fact, He Zhengdao knows better than anyone that there are not many oil resources in northern China.Even the Far East region that the Soviet Union is currently encroaching on has a large amount of oil and natural gas resources.

Knowing these precious underground resources, He Zhengdao thought about taking advantage of the Second World War to recover these lost territories, even though these territories seemed desolate to many people.

If these areas rich in oil and gas resources can be recovered, then when the country develops in the future, I believe that the history of purchasing oil at high prices with foreign exchange reserves in the previous life will not repeat itself.

Even China, an oil-poor country, can export oil as a strategic resource to earn foreign exchange in the future.It is precisely because of these considerations that He Zhengdao has always been obsessed with regaining the Northeast, and then he will find an opportunity to recover the lost land in the Far East and Outer Mongolia.

This time the armored brigade went to battle, He Zhengdao also wanted to tell the outside world that today's Eighth Route Army is no longer the beggar's army in the past.Even the tank troops owned by the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army now also has them.

Doing so, although it will attract the vigilance of the Japanese army.However, in He Zhengdao's view, it is also helpful to enhance the prestige of the Eighth Route Army in China and improve the old impression of the Eighth Route Army in other countries.

As the combat order was issued, the officers and soldiers of the armored brigade, who had been resting for three days, suddenly saw the battalion and company commanders and were called to the combat command room for a meeting.In addition, the battalions and companies also issued orders to remove the camouflage and add fuel and ammunition to the tanks.

Seeing barrels of precious oil being poured into tanks and armored vehicles, many soldiers also said excitedly: "Squad leader, are we going to fight? Tonight, are we going to attack the little devil?"

'What are you asking so much for?Hurry up and work, and when the company commander comes back, don't you know everything?We have been training for so long, aren't we just waiting for this day?If there is a real war tonight, you all cheer me up! '

'Yes, monitor, just look at it!Tonight, we will beat the shit out of the little devil! '

While the armored brigades were removing camouflage from camps and tanks, the artillery brigades were doing the same thing.It's just that the artillery brigade started to hang heavy artillery on the cars that came to tow more.

In the hands of He Zhengdao, another unit that relies entirely on car transportation and traction, the artillery brigade is now equipped with heavy artillery with a caliber of 105 or more.And tonight, they also shoulder the important task of destroying the Japanese artillery units.
