Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Dai Anlan looked at Hu Lian, whose face was full of resentment, and felt a sense of empathy.

After all, when he saw the Tiger tanks and armored clusters, he also had endless desire in his heart. The feeling of being able to see but not touch is indeed depressing.

"Junru, listen to my advice, if possible, move to another position."

After Dai Anlan finished speaking, he looked at his watch and began to give orders.

"The small-caliber guns moved forward to suppress the enemy's mountain artillery.

The 119th Armored Division and the 120th Armored Division, led by the tank regiment, attacked the left wing and central positions of Taohuayu.

The 121st Infantry Brigade, maneuver to the right wing of Taohuayu, cut off the little devils' escape route to the east, and launch an attack when the opportunity arises! "

At Dai Anlan's command, the 119th Armored Division, the 120th Armored Division and the 121st Infantry Brigade of the th Army of the Third Army launched attacks on the left, center and right wings of Taohuayu respectively.

North of the Yellow River, dust was flying and rows of tanks were lined up, moving forward in unison.

Lieutenant General Jinkuro Ochiai, commander of the 27th Division, set up his headquarters at the bridgehead of the Yellow River Iron Bridge and built fortifications relying on the sturdy bridge.

Colonel Masao Isshiki, Chief of Staff of the 27th Division, stood respectfully beside Jinkuro Ochiai.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, why do we have to set up our headquarters at the Yellow River Bridge? This is the most dangerous place!"

Ochiai Jinkuro showed a proud expression.

"There is an old saying in China that the most dangerous place is the safest place. The Yellow River Bridge may seem like a target that the independent column must fight for, but it is also our amulet!

As long as this Yellow River Iron Bridge is there, we can avoid the heavy artillery and aircraft bombing of the Independent Column!"

Masao Isshiki picked up the telescope and saw that the heavy artillery of the independent column had indeed stopped firing, and only small-caliber artillery was firing at the mountain artillery regiment.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander is wise. Now our heroic Imperial Army will have a fair duel with the Independent Column!"

"Are our secret weapons ready?"

"I have sent the troops to the three infantry regiments according to your instructions. When the tanks of the independent column attack, they will definitely deal a heavy blow to them!"

A sinister and cunning smile appeared on Jinjiro Ochiai's face. He had been preparing for today for a long time.

The tank group of the Third Army gradually approached Taohuayu, but the enemy's position seemed to be empty. All that could be seen was scorched earth and endless bomb craters.

At this time in the past, the Japanese soldiers with explosives strapped to their bodies would have rushed up long ago. Regardless of whether they could pose a threat to the tanks of the independent column, at least they could scare people.

But today, not a single Japanese hair was seen.

"Reporting to the headquarters, something is wrong in Taohuayu. I suspect the enemy must have some tricks up their sleeves!"

Dai Anlan looked through the telescope and saw the quiet battlefield. He felt something was wrong, so he said:

"The vanguard troops should slow down their attack speed and send two Tiger tanks to approach slowly. The other tanks should load their high-explosive shells and be ready to provide support at any time!"

"Yes!"

The two Tiger tanks gradually approached the Japanese position, but when they were more than 200 meters away, there was still no movement.

"Keep getting closer!"

Just when the two Tiger tanks entered the 200-meter range, suddenly, two Japanese heads popped out from the trench directly in front of them, followed by a black steel pipe.

"Anti-gun!"

Although it was slow, it was fast. The Tiger tank seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. The body of the tank shook violently and all the crew members saw stars, as if they had been hit by two hammers.

This was not the end. As if being beaten up by a crowd, several more shells were fired from different directions. A shell fired from the side directly destroyed the tracks of the Tiger tank, making it unable to move.

Two fists can't beat four hands, and a random punch can kill a master.

Of the two Tiger tanks that were scouting the way, one was seriously damaged and the other was destroyed.

The seriously damaged Tiger tank quickly reversed and retreated to avoid being destroyed.

"Command post, the vanguard was attacked by the enemy and lost a Tiger tank. Based on my observation, it should not be an anti-tank gun, but a new type of weapon!"

Dai Anlan frowned. Could it be that the Japanese had come up with some secret weapon again? Were they still not satisfied with the "Emperor's Happy Stick" they had last time?

"Order the troops to stop attacking, retain the alert troops, and all others to retreat!"

Dai Anlan now began to suspect that the Japanese were also equipped with anti-tank rocket launchers specifically for dealing with the tanks of the independent column.

"It seems that the Japanese are not standing still. Report to the headquarters immediately and let everyone be on high alert!"

After receiving the information, Wang Meng immediately began to think in his mind, as if there really was such a "monster".

The M countrymen were the first to develop the bazooka, which was specifically designed to attack tanks, and the effect was quite good.

The German army was envious and developed the RPzB 43 anti-tank rocket launcher based on the bazooka. This rocket launcher and its improved version RPzB 54 had excellent performance and great power, with an armor-piercing capability of up to 200 mm. It could attack T-34 in the east and Sherman in the west, and was very popular among German soldiers.

She is simply an angel baby on the battlefield.

At this time, the Japanese in China were having a headache about how to deal with the tanks of the independent column. After learning that the German army had a "tank killer", they requested technical support from Germany through diplomatic channels.

Germany was already busy enough and didn't want to bother with the Japanese, but it felt a little guilty. Firstly, they were allies after all, and secondly, there were so many German weapons on the battlefield in China, and it had been unable to give them a reasonable explanation.

So, I just did him a favor.

Therefore, the "Yagi Transport" (submarine transport) between Germany and Japan brought the Japanese valuable advanced weapons information, including the RPzB 43 rocket launcher and its drawings. The Japanese were overjoyed and immediately began to imitate it.

For the Japanese who were able to produce artillery, it would be easy for them to produce the iron tube that served as the launcher. So they naturally thought that this secret weapon could be deployed on the battlefield at any time and defeat the independent column!

However, the Japanese never expected that they would encounter problems with ammunition.

The double-base propellant created by the chemical technology of the M country is excellent. It burns fast and stably, and can burn out before the rocket leaves the tube without scalding the shooter. The German one is not as good, and has to install a protective shield to prevent the shooter from being burned by high-temperature gas.

The Japanese are even more terrible. They can neither reach the standards of the United States nor the standards of Germany.

The propellant produced by the weak chemical level had insufficient thrust, and the hit rate of the original tail stabilizer projectile was extremely low. The project was shelved for a time due to the dilemma.

At this time, the high-ranking Japanese army questioned:

"Their navy risked their lives to obtain the technical information, but the army couldn't copy it? How can our army hold its head high in front of the navy?"
