LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 9
In the early morning, a thin layer of mist shrouded the entire Chengde area.
After yesterday's battle, the 25th Infantry Battalion of the Japanese Army suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment.
Now there are only about 500 people left in the entire infantry battalion.
In addition, many Japanese soldiers were injured and their morale was extremely low.
At this moment, they chose to set up camp in a river valley.
Early in the morning, Japanese soldiers came out of the tents one after another and began to eat breakfast.
After arriving in China, their food was much better.
Because they had robbed it along the way.
Just as they gathered for breakfast.
A whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky.
The veterans who had experienced the battlefield knew very well what this sound was.
Their faces changed drastically.
"Bombardment!"
The whistling sound was indeed bombardment.
Nine Krupp 105mm howitzers launched a bombardment on the Japanese valley camp under guidance.
One shell after another landed accurately in the camp.
"boom...boom....boom......"
The shells exploded in the camp, and the blast waves swept around with fragments.
Instantly, a bloody storm set off in the camp.
Gathered together, and without shelter, this group of Japanese soldiers was the best target.
The smoke column raised by the explosion was clearly visible even from several kilometers away.
"It's started, armored troops, attack!"
Xie Ning, who was waiting several kilometers away, saw the movement coming from the front and immediately waved his hand.
One BT-7 fast tank after another started, and white smoke came out of the tail pipe.
The tracks began to crawl forward, leaving a deep rut on the ground.
Not long after, 18 BT-7 tanks began to rush forward, sweeping towards the Japanese camp. There were hitchhiking soldiers standing on the tanks.
They all held Suomi submachine guns.
Although the tanks are very powerful, they also need the cover of infantry.
At this moment, the Japanese river valley camp was completely enveloped by the explosion.
A large number of 82mm mortar shells fell.
It was fired by the 82mm mortar positions lurking nearby.
It can only be said that the little devils are too arrogant. They were too arrogant and didn't think Jiang Fan would dare to take the initiative to attack.
And they paid a heavy price for it.
Under the suppression of artillery fire, they could only hide in craters or bunkers and dared not move.
Those soldiers who were running around were buried under the shells.
I don't know how much time has passed.
One after another, BT-7 fast tanks broke through the mist and appeared in front of them like ferocious beasts.
At this time, the shelling in the rear had stopped.
The Japanese army was relieved.
However, when they saw the sweeping tank cluster, their faces changed drastically.
The surviving staff officer Koizumi also widened his eyes, full of horror and disbelief.
He never thought that he would see so many heavy tanks in China.
"It's over!"
This thought unconsciously came to his mind.
"boom...."
"Da da da......"
Just when the Japanese army was stunned, the 45mm cannon and DT machine gun of the tank began to play the music of death.
Dense artillery shells and bullet rain enveloped them.
Suddenly, a bloody storm was set off in the crowd.
The soldiers following behind the tanks also began to show fierce firepower.
With the blessing of 72 rounds of drums, the firepower of the Suomi submachine gun was dense and continuous.
The Japanese army did not even have a chance to counterattack.
When the tank cluster rolled into the camp under the cover of the infantry, the 25th Infantry Battalion of the Japanese Army had lost the opportunity to counterattack.
Only endless slaughter was waiting for them.
They desperately began to launch a death charge on the tank cluster.
One by one, they fell under the dense rain of bullets.
The battle did not last too long.
About half an hour later, Jiang Fan received a battle report from Xie Ning.
"Well, we have finally solved the current major problem."
What he needs now is time.
The longer the time, the stronger he will be.
After destroying this infantry battalion, he can develop with peace of mind.
Of course, he also knows that at the latest in three days, he will face a more fierce retaliation from the Japanese army.
But at that time, his strength will be different from the past.
Because he is now madly producing mining vehicles.
Five vehicles were produced under full production in one day. The number of mining vehicles in the base has increased to 8.
That is to say, he can earn 24,000 funds a day.
With sufficient funds, he can start to develop madly.
While developing the army, he also began to increase the number of barracks and tank factories. As for the air force base
, because the combat laboratory has not been unlocked yet, fighter jets cannot be produced at present.
However, if fighter jets cannot be produced, then there must be means of air defense.
Therefore, it is very necessary to form an anti-aircraft artillery battalion.
The equipment chose a combination of 88mm anti-aircraft guns and Oerlikon 20-meter anti-aircraft guns.
The battalion is equipped with a total of 12 88mm anti-aircraft guns and 18 20mm anti-aircraft guns.
The fighter planes currently equipped by the Japanese army are either biplanes or high-wing aircraft.
The speed of these fighter planes is very slow, and these two combinations of anti-aircraft guns are enough to cope with them.
When Jiang Fan woke up the next day and saw the 30,000 funds lying on the account, a smile appeared on his face.
"Little devils, it's time to show you how powerful the Red Alert army is."
