I am a wolf warrior

More than half an hour ago, when Wang Ye yelled "Enjoy this steel feast" on the wireless intercom, Tadanobu Maeda and the regiment headquarters of the 2nd Guard Division had no more news.

"No." Inoue Yasushi shook his head helplessly.

Unable to stay in the war room, Yoshio Shinozuka went directly to the communication room.

Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't hold back anymore when he saw that the communication soldier couldn't get up for a long time.

"Baga, what's going on?" Shinozuka Yoshio said angrily, "Is there still no reply?"

The communications soldier took off his earphones and shook his head numbly: "Your Excellency, the headquarters of the 2nd Guards Division has not responded, and we have called no less than ten times!"

"Damn it!" Shinozuka Yoshio's expression became more and more embarrassing.

Yasushi Inoue comforted in a low voice: "Maybe it's just a mechanical failure, and it will recover soon."

At this time, a communications soldier suddenly stood up and handed a copy of paper to Yasushi Inoue.

Shinozuka Yoshio lifted his spirits, stared at Yasushi Inoue as he translated the dots and dashes on the copy paper into a document, and then snatched it away.

I saw what was written on the copy paper: The Eighth Route Army has concentrated at least 30 cannons and is launching a cluster bombardment on Niuweiling Fortress, as if it is about to break out from the front.

"Bagayalu!"

Shinozuka Yoshio cursed and hurried back to the battle hall.

In the combat hall, Ryuichi Sakamoto has brought two combat staff officers to feed back the latest battlefield dynamics to the sand table.

When Yoshio Shinozuka looked intently, he saw that all the Japanese troops on the first blockade line had been mobilized and were heading towards Daxia Bay for reinforcements at full speed. The two nearest infantry brigades had even reached Daxia Bay.

Unfortunately, the 386 brigade moved faster and had already reached Niuwei Ridge.

Yoshio Shinozuka estimated that there was a half-hour time difference between the two fastest-moving infantry brigades and the 386th Brigade.

That is to say, for at least half an hour, the defenders of Niuweiling will not receive any support. In other words, the Niuweiling fortress must hold on for at least half an hour before they have a chance to encircle the 386 brigade in Niuweiling.

Immediately, Shinozuka Yoshio shouted: "Order, the Niuweiling Fortress must hold on for half an hour no matter what!"

"Hai!" A messenger quickly wrote down the order dictated by Yoshio Shinozuka, turned around and left in a hurry.

Yoshio Shinozuka glanced across the sand table, and said in a deep voice, "Where's the 2nd Guards Cavalry Regiment? Where are the cavalry?"

"Here." Takashi Sakamoto pointed at the sand table and said, "I'm chasing down the cavalry battalion of the 386th Brigade."

Yoshio Shinozuka turned his head and saw that the two cavalry were far away from the main battlefield, at least fifteen kilometers away from Niuwei Ridge.

"Idiot, why do you care about the cavalry of the 386th brigade at this time?" Shinozuka Yoshio said angrily, "As long as you bite the main force of the 386th brigade, are you afraid that the cavalry will run away?"

At this time, Ryuichi Sakamoto asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you want to order the troops on the second blockade to reinforce Niuwei Ridge in advance?"

"No, we can't advance reinforcements."

Shinozuka Yoshio said decisively: "We have to beware of the 386th brigade suddenly abandoning heavy equipment and breaking out from the flank."

If other troops on the second line of defense rush to reinforce, it means that the second blockade will no longer exist. At this time, the 386 brigade can easily break through the blockade with just one turn.

Yoshio Shinozuka would never make such a low-level mistake.

Even if there are third and fourth blockades outside, it won't work.

But the troops on the first blockade had no scruples.

It is absolutely possible to carry out reinforcements at full speed in the direction of Niuwei Ridge.

Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "Order, all infantry brigades on the first blockade must abandon all heavy equipment and rush forward lightly, and must rush to the Niuweiling battlefield in the shortest possible time. Brigade 386!"

"Hayi!" Another messenger quickly wrote down the message and left in a hurry.

Chapter 251 Breaking through the blockade

The battle of Niuwei Ridge has been heated up from the very beginning.

For the Independent Regiment, for the 386th Brigade, and even for the entire Eighth Route Army, this is likely to be the first real fortress battle!

Due to lack of equipment and lack of ammunition,

The Eighth Route Army generally seldom engages in direct combat with devils.

There are even fewer battles such as attacking the stronghold of the artillery tower or the county seat.

Not to mention attacking the fortress heavily guarded by devils, it can be said to be unique.

If there is a choice, Li Yunlong and the others don't want to attack the devil's fortress, but they have no choice.

If the fortress of Niuweiling is not broken, their three main regiments will be surrounded by the 2nd Guards Division!

For this point, not only Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie, the three regiment leaders, but also the battalion-level or deputy regiment-level cadres such as Zhang Dabiao and Guan Dashan knew it very well.

So Zhang Dabiao personally led a company and followed the tank platoon to make an assault.

Cooperating with the 1st Battalion and 1st Company to attack, there is also a 37mm rapid-fire gun platoon.

The tank platoon was very powerful. It broke through two fortifications in less than 10 minutes and advanced more than 50 meters.

Although the devil had built fortifications in Niuweiling for a month, it was only civil engineering and could not support tank guns.

Even a 37mm caliber tank gun can easily destroy Japanese fortifications, let alone a 57mm tank gun.

But the little devil is indeed very fierce. Just after the tank platoon passed by, the devils on the two wings launched a fierce counterattack towards the gap!

About two squads of devils rushed over with bayonets in their hands.

When the tank platoon found this situation, it immediately stopped, turned the turret and coaxial machine gun, and prepared to provide fire support.

"Don't worry about the back of the tank platoon, rush forward!" Zhang Dabiao hurriedly gestured, signaling the tank platoon to continue to rush forward quickly, and cut through the devil's position in the shortest possible time.

Seeing Zhang Dabiao's gesture, the tank defecated to give up the plan of support and continued to advance.

Zhang Dabiao yelled sharply: "Commanders 2 and 3, I will leave the devils with wings to you! Listen carefully, not only do you have to kill the devils who counterattacked, but you also have to continue tearing the wings!"

"After tearing the hole, nail it to me like a nail."

"Without my order, you are not allowed to take half a step back even if you fight all the way!"

"Yes, even if the entire company is wiped out, they will never take half a step back!" The two company commanders responded loudly.

"Brothers of the 2nd company, today either the little devil is dead, or we are alive, fighting with the dog!"

"There are all three companies, and they say that the little devil is good at fighting with bayonets. I don't believe this evil, so they all rush with me!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Kill! Kill! Kill!" More than 200 soldiers from the two companies yelled, and then held the three-eighth cover with a good bayonet to meet the devils on the two wings.

The devil's fighting spirit is also very strong, almost hungry.

That's right, devils are almost hungry for hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army rushing forward with bayonets in hand, and the two squads of more than 100 devils swooping over from the two wings, they were immediately overwhelmed with excitement, and immediately yelled and quickened their pace.

In the blink of an eye, the two armies became entangled on both sides of the gap.

The bang bang sound of the bayonet hitting, the bang bang sound of the gun butt hitting the head or body, the sound of the bayonet piercing the human body, and the wailing sounds of the soldiers on both sides before they died instantly rang out together.

In terms of size, devils are generally short, but strong.

The Eighth Route Army is generally thin, but tall, on average a head taller than the devils.

In terms of fighting spirit, the two sides can be described as equal, and both can be called the infantry ceiling.

In terms of stabbing skills, the devils have a slight advantage over the Eighth Route Army, but it is not obvious.

But in terms of numbers, the Eighth Route Army has an overwhelming advantage, more than 240 to more than 90!

So in actual combat, more than 90 devils were quickly overwhelmed by the tall and long-armed Eighth Route Army.

In less than 5 minutes, the two devil infantry squads that launched the counterattack were completely wiped out, but the two companies of the independent regiment also suffered more than half of the casualties, leaving less than a hundred people.

The two remnant companies continued to charge,

Continuing along the trench to tear the gap towards the wings,

Clear the way for the follow-up main force.

Zhang Dabiao continued to charge forward with the assault team.

In front, one after another, devil firepower points emerged from the darkness and opened fire violently.

Bullets whizzed and whizzed past both sides of Zhang Dabiao's body. At this time, Zhang Dabiao just bent over and tried to shrink behind the Type [-] medium tank.

Their task is to protect the tanks.

Don't let the devils blast the tanks.

"Xi Nei!" A devil jumped up from the trench holding a pack of explosives.

Zhang Dabiao and the dozen or so light machine gunners accompanying him immediately opened fire, smashing the devil into a sieve in an instant, then retreated behind the four tanks and continued to advance.

Li Sigen also completely forgot about everything, and only focused on firing and firing again.

Through the long and narrow observation hole of the turret, Li Sigen discovered another heavy machine gun fire point of the devil.

This is a half-buried bunker, but it is built with wood and sandbags, not poured with cement. Such a bunker cannot hold a 57-caliber flat-fire gun at all.

Li Sigen quickly turned the turret and locked on the target.

"Go to hell!" Li Sigen roared and opened fire.

With a flash of red light, the bunker in sight has been blown up.

When the gunpowder smoke dispersed, a huge gap had been blown out of the front wall of the fort made of sandbags, the shooting holes no longer existed, and the Type [-] heavy machine gun had disappeared.

"Haha, happy!" Li Sigen couldn't help laughing.

Li Sigen finally had a good time playing today, and he was addicted to tank soldiers.

But again, there is no such thing as taking advantage but not losing money on the battlefield.

Even tanks with the reputation of "King of Land Warfare" also have nemesis.

Li Sigen was just happy when a red light flashed suddenly on the right side of his field of vision. He turned his head and saw that the Type [-] light tank not far on the right side was already on fire.

But the fuel tank was blown up.

"Damn, anti-aircraft artillery!"

Li Sigen's hairs stood on end.

Tanks are most afraid of anti-aircraft guns or rapid-fire guns.

Even the 37mm anti-aircraft gun can easily penetrate the armor of the tank.

At that moment, Li Sigen turned the winch wheel and the turret at the fastest speed.

Soon, Li Sigen locked the target through the sights. Although the devil's anti-aircraft gun was hidden in the dark, he could not see clearly, but Li Sigen could still lock its position through image memory.

"Death!" Li Sigen pressed the launch button forcefully.

Almost at the same time as Li Sigen pressed the launch button,

A red light flashed in the field of vision, and the anti-aircraft artillery on the opposite side also fired at the same time.

"Grass!" Li Sigen yelled, dodging subconsciously.

As a result, his body hit the wall of the turret heavily, and the pain was so painful that he almost died on the spot.

Immediately, I felt the body of the tank shake violently, and there was a loud bang in my ears.

After the loud noise, Li Sigen could no longer hear any sound, and there was a dead silence in his ears.

However, the eyesight was not affected in any way, so it could be clearly seen that the front end of the tank body was on fire, and the bullet from the devil's anti-aircraft gun just now hit the front of the tank.

This shot not only smashed the front of the tank,

Also smashed one side of the driving wheel and track.

Now the Type [-] tank completely lost power.

Once the tank loses power, it becomes a living target.

Sure enough, shortly after Li Sigen and the other two tank soldiers withdrew,

There was another loud bang, and another 37mm caliber kinetic energy bomb hit the tank turret. After the explosion, the entire tank turret was thrown into the air.

Seeing this, Li Sigen couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

If it had slowed down for a moment just now, it would have split into two like a tank.

The three tank soldiers of another Type 3 light tank were not so lucky.
