Check in from the bright sword

Okamura Ningji said: "Because the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is actually very clear that they now have a lot of heavy equipment, and they can't walk fast at all. They can only march [-] kilometers a day at most!"

"If you carry other captured military supplies, it will be even slower!"

"And the materials that can be taken away are actually very small, less than one in ten!"

"So in this case, even if they wiped out the nearest 9th Brigade, it would be useless."

"Because the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division can still quickly catch up and entangle the Eighth Route Army."

"Competing for road mobility, the Eighth Route Army will never be able to match the Imperial Army, because the Imperial Army has more trucks."

"At this time, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has only two choices, either throw away all the heavy equipment and seized supplies, and run away from the path, or stay on the spot and fight to the death with the imperial army!"

Miyano said: "The Eighth Route Army will definitely choose to escape from the small path?"

Okamura Ningji said: "In this case, they will lose all the heavy equipment and seized supplies, and the heavy equipment and seized supplies that they finally obtained will be returned to the imperial army intact."

"Because of this, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will never make this choice. This does not conform to the style of work!"

Miyano said: "Does the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army really dare to fight the imperial army? In this case, when the 8th Brigade, 26th Division and 110th Division arrive, they will not even be able to break through separately."

"At that time, not only will the entire 386th Brigade be wiped out, but all their heavy equipment and seized supplies will still be returned to the imperial army?"

"So neither of them choose!" Neiji Okamura said in a deep voice, "They chose to stick to Taiyuan!"

"Defend Taiyuan to death?" Miyano Daichi said, "If it's a battle to defend the city, the defender will indeed have a great advantage."

Okamura Ningji said: "For the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the heavy equipment captured is destined to be irreplaceable, so it is better to use it to defend the city, maximize their effectiveness, and kill as many imperial troops as possible. "

"In this case, there may be a chance to severely damage the First Army and find an opportunity to rush out."

"And more importantly, if you stick to Taiyuan, you still have a chance to grab the supplies."

"Because in this way, they will have more time to mobilize civilians and transfer supplies."

"I see!" Miyano Michiichi said awe-inspiringly, "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is really ambitious!"

"They want to transport all the supplies, but also let the captured heavy equipment play its due role before it is destroyed, so as to kill and injure the imperial army as much as possible!"

"It really is"

Speaking of this, Miyano Michiichi suddenly stopped.

He found that he couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe it.

"This is to put them to death and then regenerate." Okamura Ningji said, "Wait until all the heavy equipment is almost destroyed, and wait until the imperial army suffers heavy casualties, then concentrate all firepower and open the gap to break through!"

"However, this is just wishful thinking of the 386 brigade after all."

"Since they want to stick to Taiyuan, then just stick to it."

"Let's see if they can hit the imperial army hard and break through."

"Also, let's see if they can snatch the supplies away?"

Speaking of this, Okamura Ningji shouted again: "Order, the 3rd Aviation Regiment of the Aviation Force immediately dispatched attack planes from Datong, Zhengding, Linfen, Handan and other airports to bomb the forward positions of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. The 3st Division launched attacks from Zhengtai Line and Taichang Highway."

"Simultaneously bombed the transport convoy of the Eighth Route Army, delaying the transfer of materials."

"Special advice, try to avoid cities and traffic arteries during the bombing process."

"Reorder, the 26th Division dispatches cavalry regiments to outflank Gujiao County from Anhua and intercept the Eighth Route Army's transport team."

"Order again, the 41st Division sends the 41st Cavalry Regiment to detour from Qingxu County to Gujiao County, and cooperate with the 26th Cavalry Regiment to intercept and kill the Eighth Route Army's transport team!"

"Hay!"

Changning Town.

The vanguard of the 41st Division has appeared within the vision of the new regiment.

The vanguard of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army is the 3rd Tank Detachment directly under the First Army, which has more than 30 Type 10 light tanks, also known as bean chariots, plus more than [-] Vickers armored vehicles.

There is also an infantry brigade of the 237th Wing to cooperate.

Ding Wei lay on the forward observation post and looked through the binoculars. He saw the Chinese characters of "Specially Fighting the 386 Brigade Independent Regiment" painted on the body of the devil's tanks with lime.

Seeing this, Ding Wei was a little angry.

"Damn, this is looking down on me." Ding Wei said angrily, "The devil only sees Lao Li's independent group, not our new group!"

Qiu Debiao was also a little unconvinced: "That is, the devils in the 41st Division are all blind."

Ding Wei said: "After the devils attack later, don't rush to fire, bring them closer, and use the Molotov cocktails that Staff Officer Wang said to deal with them, and give them a hard time!"

"Dare to underestimate our Xinyi group, it's against the dog!"

"Okay." Qiu Debiao hurriedly delivered the order.

After receiving Ding Wei's order, the soldiers turned off the safety of their guns one after another.

Less than a quarter of an hour after preparation, the devils started their first attack.

Due to terrain constraints, only four tanks can be deployed on the front.

Therefore, the devil's troops are not many, only two Type [-] light tanks and two Vickers armored vehicles.

More than 50 devil infantry were divided into four groups, followed by four tanks and armored vehicles, and rushed towards the new group's defensive position aggressively.

The tracks were rolling and the dust was flying.

In a blink of an eye, the Devil Tank was less than 50 meters away from the Xinyi Regiment's forward position.

At this moment, dozens of Molotov cocktails were suddenly thrown out from the shelters on both sides of the road.

These Molotov cocktails were made of butter-soaked tabi bottles filled with Fenjiu and gasoline.

As soon as these dozens of incendiary bottles hit the tank body, they shattered one after another, and then the mixture of Fenjiu and gasoline in the bottles immediately splashed, adhering to the tank wall and burning.

In a blink of an eye, two tanks and two armored vehicles were engulfed in flames.

The devil infantry who followed rushed up and tried to put out the fire, but they didn't know what to do?

Both the Type [-] light tank and the Vickers armored vehicle had very thin armor, and metal was a good fire-conducting material. Under the scorching fire, the interior of the vehicle quickly began to heat up, turning into a high-temperature furnace.

Chapter 320 Blast to pieces

Looking at the tanks and armored vehicles that were already on fire, Qiu Debiao couldn't help but said: "Damn, Staff Officer Wang is really talented, and he can think of such a bad move."
