1036 Counterattack across the board(2/2)
As the best way to attack land armored forces - air force bombing.
After detecting the presence of the Eighth Route Army's armored units in the western Inner Mongolia area, almost all the aircraft at the Wuzhaigou Japanese and puppet army airport were dispatched.
Regardless of whether it was a classic aircraft or a new fighter jet, he invested all his money in it. According to Okamura Neiji's absolute order, he continued to conduct reconnaissance back and forth in the target area for six consecutive days. Whenever the enemy's armored target was discovered, he immediately
Start bombing.
In just five or six days, the Japanese bombers probably dropped no less than 500 bombs in the target area.
According to the squadron's combat feedback, a total of more than a dozen enemy armored units were blown up, and dozens of enemy fortifications and camps were blown up.
According to this situation, the squadron leader of the Japanese flying squadron believes:
The strength of the Eighth Route Army's armored forces in the target area has been reduced to ten percent.
This is why the old Japanese Nan Zhi and the Japanese chief of staff were stunned when they learned that a large number of enemy armored units suddenly appeared at various nodes and presented a full-scale counterattack.
Naturally, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong would not explain themselves to the little devil.
The devil's judgment is indeed good.
Time passed to the sixth day. According to the weekly offensive plan created by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, it was precisely when the Japanese troops were exhausted, armored vehicles also suffered great losses, and the fuel supply was also insufficient, that they launched a comprehensive counterattack.
After the comprehensive counterattack begins:
The first step was to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese armored units were scattered during the pursuit, and directly divide the Japanese armored units in a roundabout way.
The second step is to eliminate the Japanese maintenance troops and transportation troops in a targeted manner.
The third step is to launch the final decisive battle with the Japanese armored forces and quickly defeat the Japanese armored forces, mobile artillery, cavalry and other units.
Steal various resources and equipment from the Japanese armored brigade, and then quickly disperse and hide.
……
Everything is ready, and the decisive battle between the mobile and armored forces of both sides is about to begin.
What Kong Jie and Li Yunlong expected was that the Japanese armored forces were exhausted after being constantly harassed by the Eighth Route Army.
The timeline extends to the sixth day. The soldiers are already tired and the vehicles have also suffered varying degrees of wear and tear.
In addition, the Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers used tanks, armored vehicles and various modified combat vehicles to launch fierce attacks on the Japanese army in different directions.
The entire Japanese tank group is like a herd of bison.
Relatively speaking, the Eighth Route Army soldiers are smaller in number and smaller beasts.
Although there are few ferocious beasts, unity, teamwork, and joint attack are better than unity.
On the other hand, the buffalo herd, although powerful, was in chaos under the siege of the beasts.
The reaction speed of various maneuvers is often led by the Eighth Route Army soldiers.
If you are attacked to the east, you will hastily defend to the east; if you are attacked to the west, you will hastily defend to the west.
After so many times, the deficiencies of the Japanese armored cluster force, which was composed of multiple arms, lacked unified command and lacked tacit teamwork, were immediately exposed.
The overall cooperative operation seems increasingly chaotic.
What depresses the old devil Nanzhi the most is...
Also undergoing constant combat marches, his soldiers were exhausted and his chariots were suffering from various levels of wear and tear.
However, the number of various armored vehicles and tanks of the Eighth Route Army that launched the decisive battle far exceeded his estimate. Judging from the opponent's mobility, artillery fire and other factors, it seemed that they had not suffered any losses.

"Baga, how did the Eighth Route Army do it?"
...Boom——
The elite tank troops from both sides launched a fierce confrontation.
On the Japanese side are the two most elite tank squadrons in the entire Nanzhi Armored Brigade, equipped with more than 30 Type 97 modified medium tanks plus Type 95 light tanks, plus more than ten armored vehicles.
On the vast plain terrain, we directly opened up the formation and used a tank group to crush the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army that appeared not far away.
On the Eighth Route Army side, most of them were armored vehicles and modified combat vehicles. Only seven or eight light tanks were mixed in the center of the formation, plus a few medium tanks.
The strength of both sides does not seem to be on the same level.
