Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

An enemy medium tank squadron had as many as eighteen tanks. If they were lined up in a row, it would be very intimidating.

Especially when their tank guns fired, they easily destroyed several of our bunkers. Fortunately, we had anticipated this situation and evacuated our personnel in advance.

In fact, the reason we exposed the bunker at this time was to attract the attack of enemy tanks so that our anti-armored forces could kill the enemy's armored forces. It could be regarded as a good move.

The main reason is that there is no other way. Logically speaking, the best weapon to deal with the enemy's armored forces is more advanced tanks, but we don't have tanks at all. Even if we did, we would only seize a few small tanks from the enemy, which would not have any effect at all.

The effective range of the recoilless guns equipped by the independent regiment is only 450 meters, and it must rely on the protection of defensive positions. Otherwise, if the anti-tank team moves forward, it will easily become a sitting duck for enemy tanks and infantry.

As the Japanese tank troops slowly approached our front-line positions and continued to fire, our anti-tank team also quietly moved to a position 300 meters away from the enemy tanks through a secret passage that had been dug long ago.

After many tests, we found that only at a distance of 300 meters can our recoilless guns exert their maximum capabilities, achieve a hit with one shot, and ensure the safety of their own anti-tank forces.

As long as our anti-tank team completes the mission, we can take advantage of the chaos among the enemy infantry and evacuate quickly through the secret passage under the cover of other troops.

These tactics had been rehearsed in advance. If Li Yunlong did not have various trump cards, it would be impossible for him to rely on numbers to fight against a Japanese field brigade.

After everyone was in position, Li Yunlong ordered the regiment's more than 60 mortars to be divided into several artillery groups, firing three rapid shots at the Japanese infantry following the tanks, and then quickly evacuating after the shooting.

Nearly two hundred mortar shells hit a battalion of Japanese soldiers directly, instantly killing a large number of Japanese infantry and causing great chaos.

The feast we prepared for the Japanese armored forces this time was ten anti-tank teams. Facing a squadron of Japanese tank troops, each team should fire two shots.

However, our troops had undergone advance drills and could quickly hide after firing a shell, and then continue firing after reloading the shell. This process should not take more than two minutes, and the Japanese tanks would have no time to react.

"Fire!"

As the recoilless gun shells flew directly towards the Japanese tanks, ten of their medium tanks were immediately destroyed. The remaining Japanese tanks also panicked. At this time, they were not thinking about looking for our anti-tank firepower points, but trying every means to reverse and escape from this dangerous area, even at the cost of crushing many infantrymen behind them.

Seeing this, our people's gunners quickly squatted down to reload, and then easily destroyed the remaining enemy tanks. Two tanks were even hit directly by two shells and caught fire.

We moved the artillery group at the position, and took advantage of the Japanese's chaos to launch another round of artillery fire, killing hundreds of them directly. The remaining Japanese were so frightened when they saw that their proud tank troops were all destroyed that they had no intention of attacking. Led by the squad leader, they quickly retreated.

When the soldiers on our position saw this, they immediately cheered loudly. This afternoon's battle was really exciting.

Brigadier General Sakai collapsed to the ground after seeing a squadron of tanks being destroyed. This was a squadron of tanks, and medium-sized tanks at that. Even the First Army did not have many of them. How could he explain this to Commander Shinozuka?

Such a heavy loss is more heartbreaking than the loss of a battalion of infantry, and it is also an extremely heavy blow to the morale of the troops.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, the Sakai Brigade did not launch any attacks for a period of time until dark. At this time, the Japanese were like a wounded beast, constantly licking its wounds.

We are taking advantage of this time to repair the collapsed fortifications and try to complete them before tomorrow morning. Only in this way can we resist the next attack from the Japanese.

At the same time, corresponding improvements will be made according to the specific situation during the day. For example, those positions destroyed by enemy bombers will need to be measured in detail and evaluated in detail to determine the power of the enemy's bombs and the reasons why our positions failed to hold out.

There is also the power generated by the explosions of the enemy's 75mm field artillery and 105mm heavy howitzers. These are the most valuable information and can provide great help for our future improvements.

This is one of the main reasons why we chose to fight this hard-hitting outdoor offensive and defensive battle during this time period.

If our troops want to develop greatly in the future, they will eventually have to face off against the enemy's heavy forces. This assessment of the enemy's field brigade's combat power is a great opportunity that will allow us to easily obtain a large amount of top-secret intelligence from the enemy.

Not only that, in order to obtain first-hand information, Kong Hao specially dispatched a surveying team of more than 30 people to measure specific parameters.

Forget about the Japs' other weapons, the main point is the damage caused by their heavy artillery and aircraft to our reinforced concrete fortifications, and they also put forward suggestions for improvements on the spot.

Of course, we had no intention of letting the Japanese off easily at night. We were prepared to take advantage of the enemy's complacency and give them a severe blow.

Because we had used mortars to launch night attacks on the Japanese army before, the enemy had learned their lesson this time. They placed their guard posts far away and ambushed people in several key locations in order to catch our night attack troops off guard.

It's a pity that we had already predicted the enemy's prediction, and we won't be foolish enough to send infantry with mortars to attack at night this time. We won't be foolish enough to do this kind of business that is doomed to lose money.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Yunlong led his men to our heavy artillery position for the final confirmation.

"How is the artillery prepared at the moment? Can it bombard the enemy's position as soon as possible?"

The artillery battalion commander patted his chest and assured, "Regimental commander, don't worry. During the day, I specially sent six artillery observation teams to measure and calculate. The relevant coordinate parameters are already memorized."

"The Japanese are also arrogant. They think our artillery has no power to fight back. In order to support the infantry, they even forgot the most basic artillery operations and have no intention of moving their positions. However, this has facilitated our operations tonight."

"We divided the artillery into four artillery groups, so there are fewer targets and the enemy is not easy to detect in a short period of time. It is also convenient for us to quickly move our positions after the artillery fires."

"However, with our current range, we can only conduct raids on the enemy's regiment-level mountain artillery and battalion-level Type 92 infantry artillery positions. We are a bit out of reach of the Sakai Brigade's field artillery and heavy howitzer positions."
