Chapter 487 The decisive battle begins
"We can take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the main force of the New 1st Brigade."
"This is a counterattack campaign."
"End all wars ahead of time!"
"As for making some sacrifices to achieve this goal."
“It’s all worth it!”
"victory!"
"Forever belongs to the Imperial Locust Army!"
The Japanese commander, Chika Matsui, said excitedly.
"Report!"
"A telegram from Commander Shinozuka of the 1st Army. He tells us to retreat immediately! Don't engage in a fight!"
"In addition, he will send troops to attack Longyuan Mountain and Liangcheng to relieve the pressure on our 9th Imperial Army."
The Japanese colonel came forward to report.
"Ah!"
"really!"
"Ishiki-kun."
"Listen!"
"Is this what you're counting on?"
"What a joke!"
"That's probably all they'll say."
"What a coward!"
"That's right..."
"It's strangely annoying."
"All right."
"Don't worry about them."
"Tell Shinozuka Yoshio."
"Just say within three hours."
"The elite main force of the New 1st Brigade will surely be destroyed!"
"Order the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade to launch indiscriminate bombing!"
"Order the 11th Tank Brigade to launch a full-scale charge!"
"Send a message to the 56th Division, the 44th Mixed Brigade, and the 21st Mixed Brigade that just crossed the river..."
"Follow the 11th Tank Brigade!"
"Kill it!"
"Kill it!"
"charge!"
"charge!"
"The final charge!"
The commander of the Japanese 9th Imperial Army, Chika Matsui, looked excited.
at last.
It has come to this.
Take this step.
It will be a new legend!
passion.
Surging!
Combat power!
Burst out!
It’s all at this moment!
All in place!
Clench your fists.
There is extreme determination in his eyes!
dong dong dong...
boom!
boom!
boom!
Whoosh...
The Japs launched a full-scale counterattack.
In the back row, more than 44 heavy artillery pieces of the Japanese th Mixed Brigade opened fire.
front row.
Hundreds of tanks from the Japanese 11th Tank Brigade were rushing forward, led by infantrymen.
Follow up.
The Japanese still have a lot of reinforcements coming from the other side of the river.
This lineup...
It’s full on at this moment!
Madden!
Burst to the extreme!
The scene in front of me then began to fluctuate repeatedly!
The Japanese commander, Chika Matsui, blushed.
It doesn't matter from which angle you look at it.
This battle.
These are all battles that are sure to win!
How could an accident happen?
Will not!
Or.
This is absolutely impossible!
The road ahead!
The groundwork has already been laid!
……
"commander."
"The devil thinks he's okay again."
“After gaining a foothold, we began to fight back.”
"It's quite interesting."
"It was the Japs' heavy artillery unit that launched the first counterattack."
"Immediately afterwards, the Japanese infantry rushed over, covering the tanks."
"According to the intelligence."
"This should be the Japanese 11th Tank Brigade."
"The Japanese tank brigade usually has two tank regiments under its command."
"The Japanese's regular tank regiment usually consists of 18 Type 36 light tanks, 11 Type 65 medium tanks, and Type gun tanks, for a total of vehicles."
"Among them, there are 54 tanks and 11 artillery combat vehicles."
"The Japanese Type 75 tank is equipped with a 75mm gun, a field gun! Only the front and sides are armored, with the top and rear being hollow, so its protection is poor. However, the mm gun it is equipped with has extremely strong anti-tank capabilities."
"The 75mm field gun on the Type 37 tank is far more powerful than the 57mm tank gun on the Japanese Type light tank and the mm short-barreled gun on the Type medium tank."
"It's like the difference between the Japanese Type 75 70mm field gun and the mm Type infantry gun."
"So... when we deal with the Japanese 11th Tank Brigade, we need to pay attention not to those tanks, but to those Japanese Type gun tanks, which are more lethal."
"These Type 1 artillery tanks are mobile artillery pieces, ready to fire at any time."
Chief of Staff Chang Naichao was well aware of the Japanese's organization and deployment.
Tell me what you know as quickly as possible at this moment.
"Ah."
"Speaking of it this way."
"The Japanese 11th Tank Brigade is equipped with approximately 108 tanks and 22 Type artillery tanks?"
Lin Xu said.
"Yes, Commander."
“But during the previous bombardment.”
"I estimate that at least 20 to 30 Japanese tanks and artillery vehicles were damaged and unusable."
"The number of Japanese tanks and artillery vehicles on the battlefield should be around 100..."
"Similarly, the Japanese heavy artillery brigade was originally equipped with about 70 to 80 pieces of various heavy artillery."
"Now there are probably only fifty or sixty guns that can fire."
"But the artillery equipped by the Japanese heavy artillery brigade are indeed large-caliber heavy artillery..."
"Even the mortars are Type 90 heavy mortars..."
"Under the joint attack of the Japanese tank brigade and heavy artillery brigade."
"To a certain extent, it can indeed pose a certain threat to us."
Chief of Staff Chang Naichaodao.
Lin Xu nodded.
He did not deny this.
The Japs are certainly not just empty shells.
If the Japanese were so useless, the war of resistance wouldn't have lasted so long.
Although the Japanese's basic weapons are all obsolete products, their firepower is still strong in Xia State at this time.
Like the new 1st Regiment before, there were not even ten machine guns in a regiment, and there was only one mortar in a regiment. Wang Chengzhu treated it like a treasure and had to hold it in his arms to sleep every night.
But what about the devils?
Not to mention the Japanese infantry regiment, even the Japanese infantry battalion is equipped with two real 70mm Type 90 infantry guns, and usually two mm Type mortars...
As for the machine gun...
A Japanese infantry battalion was equipped with 36 Type 12 light machine guns and Type heavy machine guns...
What can the Xia army with the same organization use to fight?
Charge forward with your head?
"That's right..."
"almost."
"The number of devils pouring in here is probably... 50,000?"
"We killed more than 10,000 of them."
"There are still more than 30,000 left on this side of the river."
"So, there are still 50,000 devils on the other side of the river... Well, it seems there is also a division of the Locust Army."
Lin Xu thought about it silently.
Then he glanced behind him.
"How long will it take for our main infantry to arrive?"
"Report to the commander!"
"Twenty minutes at most!"
"The 3rd Regiment of the 1st Infantry Brigade, the Artillery Regiment and the brigade's direct troops, the entire 2nd Infantry Brigade, and the entire 3rd Infantry Brigade will arrive in full force!"
"Our military trucks are already speeding up the delivery!"
Zhuge Zhongxin, Director of the Logistics Department, reported.
"Ah."
"twenty minutes."
"The decisive battle is about to begin."
"That's right..."
"almost."
"The reason we asked the Canglong Squadron to terminate the bombing plan was mainly because we were afraid of startling these devils."
"Now..."
"Perfect timing!"
