Chapter 150 Training is the mainstay
The colonel from the little Japanese knew that if his line of defense was lost, then there would be only the last line of defense a few kilometers behind him, that is, the third line of defense.
This line of defense must not be lost, the Japanese colonel thought to himself, and then ordered the Japanese devils on the line of defense to prepare for battle and prepare to snipe the chariot group of ** team.
The weapon that can deal with the China ** team's chariot group is that of dozens of 37mm war defense cannons. However, the number of tanks in the mechanized infantry brigade is too large. Relying on a mere dozens of war defense cannons alone, it is obviously impossible to stop the tank group of the mechanized infantry brigade.
Dozens of war defense artillery, if used properly, can at most destroy some of the mechanized infantry brigade's tanks. This Japanese colonel knew about this.
Thinking of this, the Japanese colonel thought to himself that it would be great if there were anti-tank trenches in front of his position, which could prevent these Chinese chariots from rushing over.
"Yamada-kun, Kimura-kun, hurry up, send your people to our defense line to dig anti-tank trenches, hurry up!!!"
The Japanese colonel knew this when the tank group of mechanized infantry brigade had not yet begun to attack, and seized all the time to dig anti-tank trenches as soon as possible.
Suddenly, at least hundreds of Japanese devils were digging anti-tank trenches dozens or even hundreds of meters in front of their positions, while the Japanese colonel looked ahead with a telescope, praying in his heart that the chariot group of the Chinese team came over later.
Perhaps it was the little Japanese colonel's prayer that moved their Aunt Amaterasu and the soldiers of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade, they had never come here.
Half an hour, one hour...
Two hours have passed, but there is no movement ahead, and the soldiers of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade show no sign of victory in attack. What's going on?
The Japanese colonel was full of doubts and puzzled. He couldn't help but ask a Japanese junior officer next to him, who might be the chief of staff of the Japanese army.
When the Japanese Nakasa Nakata asked about his corps captain, he immediately thought about it and said, "George Captain, based on my analysis, I think that the chariot group of the corps in Zhong** must be replenishing ammunition and replenishing fuel at this time, which may take a lot of time."
Upon hearing this, the Japanese colonel nodded.
In the eyes of Japan, this is entirely possible. Those tanks were all using automated weapons. They were shooting fiercely just now, and the consumption of bullets must be quite large. In order to attack his huge defensive position again, they must be filled with bullets and fuel.
The chariot group of the mechanized infantry brigade has not yet attacked the second line of defense of the Japanese army. It is definitely a good opportunity for these Japanese devils. What the Japanese now need is time. The Japanese wish that the Mechanized Infantry brigade will attack later.
"Yo Xi!"
Seeing that the chariot group of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade had not appeared in his own field of vision, the expression on the Japanese colonel's face improved a lot. At this time, many anti-tank trenches were almost dug.
Hundreds of Japanese troops were sweating profusely and were digging anti-tank trenches as fast as possible. In some areas, the shape of anti-tank trenches was almost emerging.
"One Excellent Captain, another good news."
The Japanese Nakasa, the Japanese corps chief of staff, walked over in excitement, just now. The Japanese Nakasa received a telegram from the Japanese command center in the city. As soon as he received the telegram, the Japanese immediately ran over to report.
“What good news?”
Seeing that his chief of staff was so happy, it must be great news. The captain of the Japanese colonel immediately became interested and immediately asked.
"His corps commander, the division command just now sent a telegram. In order to cooperate with us, the chariot brigade of our 6th Division has been hidden from the flank of our position and directly captured the rear of the ** team's chariot group."
"Yo Xi!"
The Japanese colonel was so happy that this was really good news. Unexpectedly, the entire chariot brigade of his division headquarters was dispatched.
The chariot brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was equipped with Type 92 and Type 95 tanks. In the eyes of the Japanese colonel, the group of Chinese chariots that captured their first line of defense were all armored vehicles.
In the eyes of the Japanese, how can armored vehicles compete with their own tank group? Even if there are hundreds of them, they can only wait to be destroyed.
The Japanese colonel thought to himself, the division commander is so wise that he actually sent all the chariot brigades and attacked directly from behind the Chinese chariot group. Good news, great news.
"Order the warriors to dig anti-tank trenches as soon as possible. I guess that once our chariot brigade exchanges fire with the armored chariot group of the China Team, the armored chariot group of the China Team will definitely flee to us."
The Japanese colonel even imagined that the armoured chariot group of the Chinese team was quickly destroyed by dozens of tanks from their own chariot brigade. Then, the remaining armored vehicles fled to their side. However, when they came to their positions, they found that it was full of anti-tank trenches and these armored vehicles could no longer move forward.
A large number of armored vehicles were crowded in front of their positions, and then their dozens of war defenses showed their might and destroyed a large number of Chinese armored vehicles.
Thinking of the joy, the Japanese colonel burst into laughter.
......
A large number of chariots were docked on the first line of defense of the Japanese army, which were hundreds of chariots from the mechanized infantry brigade. At this time, the soldiers were resting.
On the position, there were corpses of Japanese devils everywhere, all over the place, all in a mess, but the soldiers of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade had obviously adapted to it long ago. The soldiers were chatting and laughing, and they had won a big victory just now, and everyone was in a good mood.
"Company Commander, look at the armored brigade team over there, it's really spectacular!"
A soldier pointed at the tank group of the Armored Brigade not far away. At this time, more than 100 tanks of the Second Tank Regiment were heading north from the Mechanized Infantry Brigade and heading north to Hangzhou City.
The first tank regiment has passed, and the second tank regiment is passing through here. Behind, followed by the armored brigade stomping regiment and the air defense regiment, the third tank regiment has been changed to a mat.
Because the heavy artillery brigade is also driving here, the Third Tank Regiment has been driven behind the heavy artillery brigade, which can protect the heavy artillery brigade.
Through long-term reconnaissance of the Japanese 6th Division, the Independent Division knew that the Japanese 6th Division had equipped a chariot brigade. However, until now, this chariot brigade of Little Japan has not appeared. In order to prevent being attacked by the chariot brigade of Little Japan, the Third Tank Regiment assumed the important task of protecting the heavy artillery brigade.
The soldiers of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade have no mission yet and are resting there. Many soldiers are in a bad mood. After watching a large number of tanks of the Armored Brigade pass by their side, some soldiers are also complaining slightly.
"Company Commander, I heard that there is a large Japanese position a few kilometers away from the Hangzhou City Defense Line. We rushed over and raided them. The superiors kept asking us to wait here, and I really couldn't understand."
The captain company commander, seeing one of his platoon leaders complaining to him, couldn't help but pat the lieutenant platoon leader on the shoulder and said, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Obedience is the duty of our soldiers. We will fight whatever our superiors want us to fight."
"Why, can't figure it out?"
At this time, a colonel came over and everyone saw that it was their commander. They stood attentively, saluted, and stood upright.
The colonel leader couldn't help but smiled with satisfaction when he saw everyone standing straight, and then said, "I know that many brothers can't understand why we have to wait here. Now I will tell you why."
Everyone listened carefully to their leader's talk.
The regiment commander pointed to the heavy artillery brigade that had appeared in the distance: "Everyone saw that the brothers of the heavy artillery brigade did not. This time, the heavy artillery brigade was the main force. Our mechanized infantry brigade had eaten meat just now, and it was the turn of the heavy artillery brigade."
"Captain, do you mean, wait for the heavy artillery brigade to shell the second line of defense of the Japanese army." The captain's company commander turned his head faster and immediately thought of it.
"Yes, wait for the heavy artillery brigade to shell the second line of defense of the Japanese army. After the shelling, our mechanized infantry brigade will rush up to eliminate all the remaining Japanese."
So that's how it is. All the soldiers around him have a complete enlightenment.
This time, not only will the 6th Japanese Division be annihilated and Hangzhou are restored, but more importantly, a large-scale training is required. Ye Feng knew that his independent division was established too short. Although his weapons and equipment were very advanced, it still couldn't do without a few actual combat.
Therefore, the task of attacking the Japanese army on the second line of defense in the west of Hangzhou was mainly handed over to the heavy artillery brigade, which would bombard the Japanese army to achieve the role of training.
In addition, the mechanized infantry brigade will coordinate the heavy artillery brigade's combat, and can also train everyone's coordinated combat capabilities, killing two birds with one stone.
Many soldiers from the Mechanized Infantry Brigade saw a heavy artillery, and came to their rear under the guidance of the m3 half-track armored vehicle and stopped on a huge open space about one kilometer behind them.
The heavy artillery of the heavy artillery brigade was arranged neatly under the skillful preparations of the soldiers. The thick muzzles pointed directly at the distant sky and pointed to the direction of Hangzhou City. In that direction, about five or six kilometers away from here, it was the second line of defense of the Japanese army.
On this side, the soldiers of the heavy artillery brigade were preparing in an orderly manner, while on the other side, the soldiers of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment discovered a group of chariots.
On the northwest defense line, a group of chariots composed of dozens of tanks appeared. All the tanks in this group of chariots were sprayed with dazzling plaster flags. It was the chariot brigade of the little Japanese.
Obviously, the target of the Japanese chariot brigade was the heavy artillery brigade, and was heading towards the heavy artillery brigade. As for the mechanized infantry brigade not far away, the Japanese chariot brigade did not take it seriously.
