NOVEL NEXT Chapter 12
The trump card that Jiang Fan created is a brigade, but it is not an ordinary brigade.
It is a motorized infantry brigade with multiple arms.
Although the brigade-level synthetic forces are not very good in large-scale combat.
But it is enough to deal with the brigade-level forces of the Japanese devils.
This multi-arms synthetic brigade will have combat units such as motorized infantry, tanks, artillery, and anti-aircraft artillery, as well as logistics support units.
These include three motorized infantry battalions, a tank battalion, two artillery battalions, an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, a transportation battalion, and a logistics support battalion.
The brigade headquarters also has a guard company, a communications company, a military intelligence company, etc.
The total force is expected to be around 6,000 people.
The first battalion, the second battalion, the heavy artillery battalion, and the anti-aircraft artillery battalion will all be included in this brigade-level force.
What he has to do now is to perfect this synthetic infantry brigade.
The day it is completed is the day when the Japanese Army's 14th Mixed Brigade will be destroyed.
The priority at present is the tank battalion.
BT-Although the 7 fast tank is good, it is only a light tank with weak armor.
However, due to the limitation of age, only equipment before 1937 can be produced.
So the best choice at present is the Type 4 tank B.
The Type 4 B tank has a combat weight of 17.7 tons, is equipped with a 75mm short-barreled tank gun, and has a frontal armor of 30 mm.
Equipped with a 300-horsepower gasoline engine, it can run 40 kilometers per hour.
This tank may be a bit weak in World War II.
But on the battlefield of China today, it is a crushing-level equipment.
It is much stronger than the BT-7 fast tank, and its tonnage is also within 20 tons.
So this tank was finally chosen.
However, the Type 4 tank is much more expensive than the BT-7, requiring 800 funds per tank. The entire battalion will be equipped with 58 tanks, 17 tanks for each company, and 4 tanks for the battalion headquarters. Nearly
50,000 funds are needed here.
There are also 3,000 conscripts, requiring a total of 150,000 funds.
In addition to various equipment, vehicles, etc., a total of about 300,000 funds are required.
With the current daily funding of 45,000, it would take seven days.
However, he would produce three mining vehicles every day, so the time would be shortened, but it would still take four or five days.
"Four or five days is no problem at all."
After receiving the order, Xie Ning looked very relaxed.
It was only half a day before the Japanese soldiers were beaten to a pulp in the Erdaogou position.
The casualties were estimated to be more than 500.
Major General Hattori Heijiro's face was dark all day.
The casualties on their side were much higher than Xie Ning's estimate.
The casualties reached more than 800 people.
The main reason was that the casualties were too fierce.
Almost all the troops of an infantry battalion were reimbursed.
However, it did not pose much threat to the opposite position.
"I don't believe they have enough ammunition to continue the attack."
Although their firepower was so fierce that it made his scalp numb.
But such fierce firepower would inevitably bring huge consumption.
Zhang Hanqing had already lost the Northeast, and he simply didn't have so much ammunition to consume.
Perhaps it wouldn't take long to see the opponent's fatigue.
The Japanese army launched the attack again.
However, this time they did not launch a desperate pig-style attack.
Instead, they adopted a cautious approach.
Finding bunkers in front of the position and shooting at the position.
This approach did greatly reduce casualties.
When night fell, the Japanese army, unwilling to be lonely, launched an attack as Xie Ning expected. The Japanese army launched a night attack.
However, they were defeated by the well-prepared First Battalion.
They retreated in a hurry after leaving behind hundreds of corpses.
In the next few days, the Japanese army continued to use a cautious way of fighting.
This also caused a lot of casualties to the First Battalion.
The casualties exceeded a hundred people every day.
However, for every one they fought, Jiang Fan could replenish two. They could wear the Japanese to death.
As time passed, the First Brigade was also formed.
The horn of the counterattack was about to sound.
These days, they have been unable to capture the Erdaogou position for a long time, and the number of casualties has approached three thousand.
This also made Hattori Heijiro very angry.
Their reinforcements will arrive in a few days.
This time, everyone in Chengde must be killed. Only then can he dispel the hatred in his heart.
At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark.
Under the cover of night, tanks were driving on the road.
There was also a long convoy following behind.
This unit was the main force of the brigade.
The target was naturally the camp of the 14th Mixed Brigade.
And their camp was still chosen in the river valley area.
Because only here is the right distance and has enough open space to set up camp.
When the vanguard consisting of dozens of tanks approached When the Japanese camp was about three kilometers away, they encountered a Japanese sentry.
Gunshots began to resound through the sky.
After seeing that they were exposed, Xie Ning decisively launched a general attack.
At this time, the First Brigade also displayed all its belongings.
The first to open fire were the two artillery battalions.
One battalion had 36 Krupp 105mm howitzers, and the other battalion was equipped with 18 150mm heavy howitzers.
In addition, there were 8 M1938 120mm heavy mortars.
A total of 62 artillery pieces launched an artillery attack on the Japanese river valley camp. The first round of artillery attack to annihilate the 14th Mixed Brigade was launched.
PS: I am asking for a wave of flowers and evaluation tickets. It feels the same as 5555 in a single game.
