Sun Lianzhong's conspiracy

In ten seconds, an infantry platoon of the Northwest Army hidden on both sides of the street was instantly killed by the medium tank in front of him, without even a single survivor.

The Northwest Army officers and soldiers who were also hiding behind this street looked at the invulnerable swords and guns in front of them, and could not even do anything to grenades. They also had powerful firepower, and all showed complex expressions of surprise and panic on their faces...

Even so, without getting the order to retreat and knowing that he resisted, he would expose his hiding position and be destroyed by the opponent's tanks. Before setting off, because of Sun Lianzhong's order, the Northwest Army soldiers who were determined to die still kept pouring out from both sides of the street, using rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, and even heavy machine guns in their hands to conduct meaningless blocking...

"Boom... da da da da..."

With the rapid advancement of the entire chariot formation, more and more tanks and armored vehicles, relying on their thick-skinned armor cover, continued to attack the enemies exposed on both sides of the street. In the long street, wherever the convoy was loaded, the houses on both sides of the street were all turned into ruins without exception. Of course, the Northwest Army soldiers hidden in the houses also turned into corpses without exception.

"This... how is this possible? What kind of armor is it? How can it not even be able to do with heavy machine guns and grenades..." The commander of the first brigade and registrar of Sun Lianzhong's troops. As an officer who had seen the power of a chariot in the Northeast Army, he was shocked when he saw the bloody massacre scene in front of him. He asked incredible look at his subordinates.

According to the tanks I saw in the Northeast Army Tank Brigade, the front armor thickness of the tank is absolutely no more than three centimeters. As for the side armor thickness of the tank, it is already very good. With such a thickness, as long as you use a heavy machine gun to shoot at close range, it is certain that the heavy machine gun bullets with extremely high firing rate can easily penetrate the side armor of the tank. Using the power of bullets, a large number of internal officers and soldiers in the armor are killed. There is absolutely no problem.

However, the tank in front of him is not only different from the Leilo light tank he once saw. Even his armor protection ability is far greater than the Renault light tank he knew.

Facing the close-range heavy machine gun shooting on the side, the side armor with weaker protection ability was not only not penetrated, but even a small white spot could not be left... Of course, this is not what the group leader cares the most.

The large-caliber tank guns carried by the medium-sized tanks in front of us are definitely not comparable to those of the 37mm short-barrel artillery of the Renault light tank. Whether it is the shell's armor-piercing ability through walls or the powerful lethality generated by its explosion, they are definitely far more than the mountain cannons equipped by their own troops.

How could a chariot that even the Central Army of Chiang Kai-shek have not equipped? How could it appear in the hands of a small local force in the Ninth Army? A group of commanders quickly showed an incredible expression on their faces. However, no matter how shocked, he watched the chariot that was getting closer and closer to him and had no choice. The choice of the remaining troops was directly placed in front of the group of commanders.

"The group seats, the weapons in our hands cannot do anything to the opponent's chariots, and if we continue to fight, the whole regiment will die in this street. Beizhi suggested that instead of dying here for nothing, it is better to retreat on the other battlefields, look for fighter jets and annihilate the enemy's living forces." Perhaps it was because of fear. The chief of staff around him suggested with a pale face.

"Retrieve the position and go to other battlefields to find fighter jets... Yes, this is a solution. Before we attack, the division seat explained repeatedly. During the street fighting process, there is no need to take into account the gains and losses of a city and a place. The entire battle process must focus on annihilation of a large number of enemy living forces. In order to complete the division seat mission, voluntarily withdraw from the battlefield, which is completely in line with the division seat's scheduled combat policy..." The commander's eyes lit up and he spoke.

For his own life, the retreat speed of more than 400 people in the remnants of a group of remnants was absolutely as fast as ever. In just half a minute, the streets where bullets were still firing just now became quiet.

On the surface, although the idea of ​​the leader of the enemy's regiment is in line with Sun Lianzhong's combat formation, this combat policy can only be targeted at ordinary siege battles. Now, the ultimate goal of the armored troops facing the first regiment is not to kill many enemies in the city. Instead, with its strong armor protection ability and assault ability, he led some infantry to attack the enemy Sun Lianzhong's command center, destroy its command center, and capture Sun Lianzhong alive, forcing more than 10,000 Northwest Army soldiers in Hengshui City to surrender on the battlefield because they lost command.

The decision of the enemy's first regiment commander saved their lives, and also helped the armored battalion that was attacking quickly, allowing the armored assault battalion to get closer to Sun Lianzhong's command faster, complete the mission, and end the battle.

Of course, the retreat of the regiment commander also set a very good example for the enemies encountered on the road of the armored assault battalion. Facing the armored assault battalion that was unstoppable and he was unable to resist. With the idea of ​​"going to other areas and continuing to find favorable combat targets", the enemy blocking troops directly gave up the battlefield and gave up a road to Sun Lianzhong's command for the armored assault battalion.

One minute, two minutes... When the armored assault battalion, with its thick skin and thick armor protection, quickly advanced forward. The news that the Ninth Army dispatched armored troops to participate in the war was also gathered into Sun Lianzhong through various channels.

"Armored forces... are both air force, tanks, and cannons... The Ninth Army dispatched so many advanced equipment, is it just for the 20,000 Northwest Army soldiers under my command of Sun Lianzhong? This Li Guosheng respects me too much from Sun Lianzhong..." After listening to the Chief of Staff's report, Sun Lianzhong, who had no idea that the danger had come to his head, said with a self-deprecating look on his face.

"The division seat is not the time to study this. I think the Ninth Army waited outside the city for this armored force for a whole night. It is certain that this armored force that has already broken into the city must have a different mission from other troops..." The Chief of Staff reminded kindly.

"This is for sure..." Sun Lianzhong immediately used his strong analytical ability. He pointed to the map and spoke.

"Chief of Staff, look... According to the information, after the attack last night, among the various attacking forces of the Ninth Army who were responsible for the attack today: except for the armored troops, they quickly advanced into the city. The remaining three troops were all full of heavy winds and little rain, and they bluffed at the gate of the city and refused to attack forward..."

"The purpose of the enemy's doing this is nothing unexpected. It is to cover the armored force that has already entered the city and complete the different mission you just mentioned. As for the specific mission of this armored battalion, let's look at the opponent's assault route. According to the attack speed and direction of the opponent's armored battalion, you can visit our command center in up to five minutes..."

"Turn directly into the Huanglong. Destroy the command organization. The center breakthrough... The ultimate goal of the armored battalion is our division command... This Ninth Army is really cunning and wants to take down our division headquarters. Disintegrate the entire army in one fell swoop..." The Chief of Staff, who reacted from the confusion, immediately showed an anxious look on his face, and quickly spoke up and suggested.

"Secretary, since that's the case, why are we still standing there? Order the guard battalion and the unmanned personnel to transfer immediately, leaving an empty command center for the enemy... In any case, the enemy's plan cannot be completed smoothly. Otherwise, more than 10,000 Northwest Army soldiers in the city will be in a dangerous situation of self-defeat without fighting..."

On the other hand, Sun Lianzhong not only did not have any panic expression on his face, but instead showed a hint of excitement and expectation. He said confidently to the anxious Chief of Staff, "Chief of Staff, why are you anxious... Isn't it just an armored battalion? I, Sun Lianzhong, really plans to see how powerful this armored battalion has in actual combat: without any loss, it can continuously break through the defense line of our two elite regiments..."

Based on his understanding of Sun Lianzhong, the Chief of Staff knew that since Sun Lianzhong said this, there must be a reason to say this. In addition, Sun Lianzhong has never suffered any losses, the Chief of Staff did not hesitate and asked quickly.

"Master, what do you mean?"

Sun Lianzhong smiled and shook his head. He did not answer. Instead, he asked the Chief of Staff with a mysterious look on his face: "Chief of Staff, do you say that this armored battalion is important to the Ninth Army..."

"That's more to say..." the Chief of Staff replied without comment.

"The Northeast Army has barely formed a chariot brigade with the strength of several provinces. The Nanjing Central Government, with the support of the economy of several southern provinces, has no energy or ability to form an armored force. It can be seen that the cost of forming a built-in armored force is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford."

"Even if Li Guosheng in Shandong Province is in a battle, how can he make money? It is his limit to feeding hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ninth Army with a province. Under such circumstances, it is already an accident that Li Guosheng can form a battalion of armored troops. Since the entire Ninth Army only has one armored battalion, and it is an armored unit that even Lao Chiang in Nanjing does not have, it can be explained that the entire armored battalion is an important position in the Ninth Army. Otherwise, Li Guosheng would not use his treasure at the last moment, that is, the invincible armored battalion in the city." The Chief of Staff affirmed.

Sun Lianzhong nodded without comment, agreeing with the Chief of Staff's statement. Then, he continued to ask back: "Since the armored battalion is so important to Li Guosheng, if we can keep the entire armored battalion in the city, what impact will it have on the entire battle situation."

"If I were Li Guosheng, the armored battalion I worked hard to form for myself, under such circumstances, I would definitely order the Ninth Army to stop the attack, negotiate with us, and return to the armored battalion..... I understand, what you mean is to let the Ninth Army 'steal chickens and lose rice'..." The Chief of Staff, who suddenly realized, said directly with a look of surprise.

However, after the words fell, a trace of worry followed closely on the Chief of Staff's face and said, "Secretary, your idea is good. However, we should not forget the strong combat effectiveness of the armored battalion in the city... Can we keep this armored battalion in the city while keeping the division headquarters?"

"Of course..." Sun Lianzhong said confidently.

"Don't forget, I was ordered to visit the Northeast Army to visit the tank combat. I know the performance and protection capabilities of the tanks better than anyone else. The French tanks imported from the Northeast Army cannot withstand direct strikes from 75mm mountain cannons, not to mention the tanks equipped by the Ninth Army...

At this moment, the frontier combat troops located in various parts of the city quickly reported the news that the Ninth Army dispatched tanks to Sun Lianzhong. However, few people with the Northwest Army soldiers under him knew the performance of the armored combat vehicles and could not pass the specific situation of the tank to Sun Lianzhong.

This directly led to Sun Lianzhong, who thought he was familiar with tanks. Until the tank appeared in front of him, he did not understand the performance of the tanks equipped by the Ninth Army. At the same time, Sun Lianzhong's entire anti-armor combat deployment process was deployed according to the armor protection capabilities of the Renault light tanks, and did not take into account the actual situation on the battlefield.

After modification by the arsenal, the three medium-sized tanks have armor protection capabilities. Compared with the Renault medium-sized tanks with the same armor thickness, they are better. What's more, the Renault light tank with armor thickness is less than half of the medium-sized tanks.

More than a dozen mountain cannons carefully deployed by Sun Lianzhong can easily penetrate the Renault light tank armor. However, such powerful shells exist almost like itching in front of modified medium tanks.

And all of this is something that Sun Lianzhong doesn't know.

Under the order of Sun Lianzhong, the remaining 16 mountain cannons in the courtyard where the command center was located. The 16 mountain cannons in the black holes of the 16 mountain cannons were all extended from the entrances of the courtyard wall that had been pierced in advance and aimed at the entrances of the only four streets around the courtyard.

Four streets, each street deployed four mountain cannons. Sun Lianzhong was confident that as long as the armored troops of the Ninth Army showed their figure, the 16 mountain cannon shells fired in a round of volleys would definitely cause the worst casualties to the armored battalion of the Ninth Army at the first time.

Because the mountain artillery battalion was originally used as a reserve force and was deployed around the division headquarters. With the cooperation and help of the division guard battalion, all 16 mountain artillery were transported into the position in just two minutes. A shiny shell was also pushed into the barrel by the gunners, and the artillery was ready to be fired at any time.

"The division seat, all mountain cannons are ready. The division headquarters guard battalion is also in ambush. As long as the opponent's armored chariot is destroyed, the guard battalion hidden around the division headquarters will immediately attack. Encircle and annihilate the remaining remaining troops of the enemy armored chariots and seize all armored chariots... "The division chief of staff reported with a complex expression of expectation and concern.

"Very good, notify all participating troops, be careful of concealment, and wait for the prey to take the bait..." Sun Lianzhong ordered with a confident look on his face.

"Rumbling..."

The division commander Sun Lianzhong, including the Northwest Army soldiers from the division headquarters and around the division headquarters, was waiting anxiously. The huge roar of the tank engine finally came from the end of the street.

The excited Sun Lianzhong quickly raised his telescope and looked in the direction of the sound.

A steel monster marching in the front spitted black smoke and held its black gun barrel. It was as if entering a nobody's realm, and quickly rushed towards the location of the division headquarters.

And at this moment, as the figure of the tank became closer and closer, it finally appeared clearly in front of Sun Lianzhong. A hint of astonishment flashed quickly across Sun Lianzhong's face, and with a shocked expression, I couldn't help but murmur to myself.

"No, the tank is not right... The tank I saw is not like this..."

"Master, what's wrong? What's wrong..." The Chief of Staff, who had been worried since the beginning of the operation, suddenly realized something, and his heart skipped a beat, asked quickly.

"The tanks opposite us are completely different from the tanks I saw in the Northeast Army... The body is even larger, the caliber of the gun is more than twice as large, and even the roar of the tank engine is much louder..." Sun Lianzhong, who was in shock, replied subconsciously.

"What, why is this happening..." The Chief of Staff, who was full of shock, didn't care about Sun Lianzhong around him at all at the critical moment of life and death, subconsciously let out a scream.

After exclaiming, a most critical question immediately came to the head of the Chief of Staff. He asked Sun Lianzhong with an anxious look: "Second, since it is not the tank you saw in the Northeast Army, is the mountain cannons we deployed in the division headquarters compound still useful? Can we destroy the other tanks..."

Faced with the anxious gaze of the Chief of Staff, Sun Lianzhong's subsequent unsure answer directly broke the last glimmer of hope in the Chief of Staff's heart.

"Chief of Staff, I don't know the specific situation. After all, I don't know the protective performance of the tank in front of me. However, I believe that even the original imported French tanks cannot resist the attack of mountain cannon shells, let alone the tanks in Li Guosheng's hand..."

After saying that, he spoke directly and ordered, regardless of the increasingly serious expression on the Chief of Staff's face.

"All mountain cannons, fire immediately..."

"Boom boom boom..." A series of deafening explosions sounded from the street entrance dozens of meters away. The locations of several medium-sized tanks were immediately covered by gunpowder smoke generated by the explosion of shells, and life and death were uncertain.

Everyone led by the division commander Sun Lianzhong stared with big eyes and waited for the victory to arrive. The roar of the engine that had not stopped immediately broke their dreams. Following closely behind, the body of the medium-sized tank that rushed out of the smoke invisibly made everyone in the command center look desperate.
