Chapter 140: The chariot is not used
To the surprise of many people, what was expected to be a close battle turned out to be a one-sided fiasco. Soon after the two divisions of the Japanese army landed in Haiphong City, the Soviet and German armies, which were fighting in Kiev, also just ended this general battle.
The final result turned out to be that the German army almost completely annihilated the Soviet Union's Southwestern Front. Such an astonishing record really shocked all forces. The strength of the German army undoubtedly shocked the world at this moment, so that all parties did not dare to despise its existence.
Compared with the Allied side that opposed Germany, the receipt of these war reports showed great concern. If the Soviet Union could not resist the attack of the German army, once the Soviet Union fell, the German army's attempt to dominate the world would no longer be stopped.
When Germany launched a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union, many people wondered why the Germans were doing this. On the contrary, Hu Biao explained the mystery in one sentence, and the fundamental reason was actually similar to that of Fusang, and the German army also took a fancy to the abundant oil resources of the Soviet Union.
With the advent of a large number of mechanized equipment, the German army's dependence on oil is also increasing. It is a pity that Germany and other countries do not have many oil reserves. On the other hand, a staggering amount of oil resources has been explored in the territory of the Soviet Union.
They were allies earlier, but after the blitzkrieg, the two countries naturally became enemies. The great victory of the German army undoubtedly inspired Fuso, who was also an ally. At this time, Fuso was also in a difficult situation.
According to the plan drawn up by the German and Japanese armies, if the two countries could join forces to open the strategic corridor between East and West, then these Axis powers could become world powers. The great powers that established the world order earlier will also become their colonial powers.
This is naturally very much looking forward to and looking forward to Fusang, who wants to dominate. Soon after receiving the battle report, the Kwantung Army Division, which had landed in Haiphong City for a while, immediately launched a tentative attack on the defensive positions of the 2nd Division.
After receiving a telegram from the forward reconnaissance detachment, Lei Xiong, the commander of the Second Division, also said calmly: "Just send an infantry brigade, these little devils really look down on people!" In the No. 1 combat area, call me all these little devils back! ”
"Yes, Commander!"
The so-called No. 1 Operational Area is actually a forward combat area specially designated and reserved by the Second Division. There, the 2nd Division did not build strong fortifications, and more reconnaissance units operated there to clear out the infiltrated Japanese scouts.
As the two armies began to clash in the jungle, the Kwantung Army's infantry brigade, which often drilled into the forests in the northeast, was extremely surprised to find that they were not the opponents of the defending side. Marksmanship, equipment, jungle combat experience are all lost.
Looking at the soldiers who kept falling, the captain of the Japanese infantry group said extremely depressedly: "Baga! How so? We didn't even touch the opponent's defensive position, and we lost nearly two squadrons of troops, how did this battle be fought? ”
After receiving the news from the infantry brigade, the commander of the Japanese division who was in charge of testing the attack was also surprised: "What about it? Having lost two squadrons of troops, we didn't even catch a single enemy? ”
"Hey! According to the telegrams sent back by the infantry brigade, those men were well acquainted with the surrounding jungle. And our warriors, who do not know much about the situation in the jungle. The most surprising thing is that the weapons of the defenders are more advanced than ours! ”
"Yaga! How is this possible? ”
Even if the commander of the Japanese division did not believe it, it was an ironclad fact that accompanied the corpses that were carried back to the rear. Faced with this situation, the commander of the Japanese division said extremely unhappily: "Dispatch a tank squadron to cooperate with the infantry brigade to attack!" ”
"Hey!"
Compared with the previous attacks on Indochina, the Japanese army that made a comeback this time was also more prepared than before. In addition to a large number of artillery suitable for jungle transportation, it also brought a number of armored tanks suitable for mountain combat.
The reconnaissance detachment, which was responsible for monitoring the movements of the Japanese troops, learned of this situation and quickly reported it to the division headquarters. Lei Xiong, who learned the news, said with joy in his heart: "Notify the artillery regiment to pull that test team over and test the performance of the new weapon!" ”
"Yes, Commander! In addition to this, is it necessary to send additional security troops? Those testers are all wolf-headed babies! ”
"A company was drawn from the guard battalion and a few recoilless guns were carried to ensure the safety of the testers. In real combat, let the artillery regiment send people, and those testers will stay behind. In this way, it should be fine! ”
"Understood!"
With the Japanese army pulling out a squadron of armored fighting vehicles, covering the infantry brigade to open the way. The reconnaissance detachment responsible for blocking and harassing them was indeed difficult to deal with the little devil infantry following behind the battlecar, and had to give up some combat areas.
Seeing this scene, the infantry captain was also very satisfied and said, "Yo! In front of the chariot, the enemy is not an opponent! ”
On the other hand, the test team that was ordered to rush to the front line saw that the ambush position had been selected, and several full-time bazooka operators quickly entered the launch position built in advance. The testers stayed behind the position to watch the battle.
Although they wanted to fight the Japanese army in person, Lei Xiong gave a death order and did not allow them to go to the battlefield at all. In Lei Xiong's words, if something happened to them, he couldn't explain it to Hu Biao. These people are all technical troops!
In addition to testing the newly developed bazooka, the accompanying guard company also carried several recoilless guns for use against Japanese armored tanks. Coupled with the large-caliber machine gun that can be fired horizontally, it is believed that after this ambush, the attacking Japanese army will also suffer heavy losses.
If the little devil does not increase his troops, Lei Xiong will not increase his troops easily. With the help of the reserved engagement area, there are little devils around. If the little devil continues to increase his troops, Lei Xiong will also continue to increase his troops until he slowly attracts the little devil to the front of the defensive position.
Don't put the little devils at the front of the position to fight, it is more to avoid reducing losses. If the little devils really launched a frenzied bombardment and artillery bombardment, the fortifications built by the Second Division would definitely suffer a lot of losses. Pushing the front forward can also reduce losses.
The reserved area of engagement, where not a single civilian is in sight. There, in addition to the reconnaissance troops of the wolf army, only the reconnaissance troops of the little devils remained. If the little devil wants to find out the deployment of the second division, he must first pass the reconnaissance unit.
Many reconnaissance units transferred from other main divisions would be sent by Hu Biao to conduct rotational battles there. Use the elite scouts of the little devils to train the reconnaissance troops who beat their own side, and let the new scouts grow up as soon as possible with the old and the new.
Following behind the tank squadron, the Japanese vanguard group smoothly advanced a distance of about five kilometers. Just as the Japanese captain wondered how long it would be before he could touch the defenders' defensive positions, the chariot entered a relatively narrow valley.
Seeing the terrain of the valley, the infantry captain said with a little caution: "This place is dangerous!" Send the infantry to investigate first! ”
"Hey!"
When the infantry of the little devils took the lead in entering the valley, the reconnaissance captain in charge of the ambush was also very surprised: "These little devils are very cautious!" Looking at this, we want to ambush them, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”
"It doesn't matter! As long as our killer weapon is not used, the imps will feel that we have been ambushed and exposed, and then send their chariot troops. As long as the armored tank of the little devil is eliminated, how far can the infantry of the little devil run? ”
"That's right! Order a platoon and take out these little devil infantry who have entered the valley. Then, quickly shift positions! ”
"Yes, Captain!"
With the order of the reconnaissance captain, the platoon lying in ambush at the front of the position pulled the trigger on the little devils who entered the valley. Hearing the gunshots coming from the valley, the Japanese captain was not surprised and said: "Yo breath, there is indeed an ambush!" ”
"Your Excellency, do you need to enter now?"
"Enter! Order the tank squadron to take the lead, rush to destroy the opponent's machine-gun positions, and beware of the enemy's possible artillery. Once you find out that the enemy has built an artillery position, immediately attack with all your strength and gouge through the enemy's ambush circle! ”
"Hey!"
Except for the artillery, the Japanese captain felt that the infantry weapons encountered in the previous exchange of fire alone could not cause damage to the combat vehicle at all. Even if there is artillery, as long as the chariot assault speed is fast, it can still avoid the enemy's artillery fire.
The chariot that accompanied the little devils rumbled into the valley, and the machine guns mounted on the chariots began to fire at the defenders in the ambush position. Those light tanks also began to fire into the hills, destroying the defenders' machine-gun positions.
Just as the Japanese tank unit continued to advance and did not encounter the imagined artillery bombardment, several bazooka fighters who had been in ambush for a long time immediately pulled the trigger in their hands. A rocket with a tail flame immediately rammed into the Japanese tank in motion.
"Not good! The enemy has anti-tank guns! Circumvent! Quick, evade! ”
At most, at a distance of less than 200 meters, the Japanese fighters who were attacking forward could not turn around and turn at all. When the rocket penetrated the protective shell of the Japanese tank, it exploded, and the Japanese tank was instantly paralyzed.
The little devil sitting in the cab was also killed or stunned by the shock wave generated by the explosion. At the same time, the recoilless gun, which had been erected, saw the follow-up Japanese combat vehicle that had braked urgently, and immediately pulled the trigger.
A direct shot of artillery shells came straight for the Japanese tank. The little devil infantry who were attacking next to the chariot were also completely stunned when they saw the sudden scene. I could only watch as one after another chariots were blown into scrap metal.
"Yaga! Remove! Damn, how can they have such advanced anti-tank weapons? ”
Just when the little devil was about to turn around and run away, the large-caliber machine gunner, who had never used it before, sneered and said: "I just want to escape now, don't you think it's too late?" Hit, hit me hard! ”
The roar of the machine gun rang out, and countless large-caliber bullets instantly penetrated the bodies of the fleeing Japanese soldiers. Looking at the corpses that were cut in two by machine guns, these well-informed Japanese soldiers were also completely shocked.
"Yaga! It's an anti-aircraft machine gun! Damn, they actually hit the infantry with anti-aircraft machine guns! Withdraw, quickly withdraw from the valley! ”
In the face of such a powerful large-caliber machine gun, and the loss of the cover of the tank unit, the surviving little devils had no choice but to retreat. Keep staying, that's really only a dead end!
