Chapter Ninety-One: Chrysanthemums are broken, and the ground is full of wounds

After dealing with Kuroda Noji, Jiang Shan quickly made peace with the mountain wolf, Hawkeye and others, and now the time is getting more and more urgent, they must seize the time to infiltrate the back of the independent garrison 2nd Brigade, see the right time, attack behind the enemy, and contain the actions of the Japanese army.

Speaking of the Second Independent Garrison Brigade, every Chinese can be said to hate it to the root!

At about 10 o'clock in the evening of September 18, 1931, Lieutenant Suemori Kawamoto of the Kawashima Squadron of the Shimamain Brigade of the Japanese Kwantung Army led several of his subordinates to blow up a section of the tracks of the South Manchurian Railway near Wicker Lake, about 800 meters south of Beidaying, Shenyang, claiming that the Chinese army had sabotaged the railway. The Second Brigade of the Japanese Independent Garrison launched an attack on Beidaying, the garrison of the Northeast Chinese Army. At about 4 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Independent Garrison arrived at Beidaying from Tieling to join the battle. At half past 5, the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army retreated to Dongshanzuizi, Shenyang, and the Japanese occupied Beidaying. In the battle, the Northeast Army suffered more than 3,300 casualties, and the Japanese suffered 24 casualties. This was the September 18 incident that shocked China and the rest of the world.

The Second Independent Garrison Brigade was the vanguard of the 918 Incident!

After the 918 Incident, the Second Independent Garrison Brigade was attached to the Kwantung Army and was directly stationed in Beidaying, where Wang Yizhe's Department of the Seventh Brigade of the former Northeast Army was stationed. It's just that their luck has been really bad recently, because the Japanese army suffered a dark loss in the Battle of Xuzhou, although it finally won a disastrous victory, occupied the Jinpu line and the Longhai line, and achieved the strategic purpose of connecting the northern and southern battlefields, but they also suffered heavy casualties, and for a time there was a shortage of troops guarding the occupied areas, plus the Japanese base camp in order to completely break the will of the Chinese to resist, eliminate the main force of the National Revolutionary Army, and then achieve the goal of completely and cleanly destroying the Nanjing government, Preparations for the larger-scale Battle of Wuhan, which are in full swing, are stretched to the point of being overstretched.

In order to alleviate the tense situation in terms of troops, in addition to promulgating the National General Mobilization Law on 5 May to bring out all the war potential of the entire country, the Japanese army base camp also urgently transferred three divisions and six brigades of the Kwantung Army from the northeast region to come to support, and in addition to the 1st and 4th squadrons of the 2nd Independent Garrison Brigade, which continued to garrison Beidaying, the 2nd and 3rd squadrons also came to East China and were temporarily assigned to the 10th Division and stationed in Pingyin County.

Generally speaking, the independent garrison is regarded as a second-line unit in the Japanese army, which is only responsible for some security and security tasks, and rarely takes the initiative to participate in large-scale combat activities, but this second garrison brigade is indeed one of the alternatives. Perhaps because of the meritorious work of the September 18 Incident, the base camp of the Japanese army attached great importance to this vanguard unit in the rush of aggression against China, and in addition to giving priority to the replenishment of troops, it also gave priority to weapons and equipment. In addition, after occupying Beidaying that year, a large number of weapons and equipment left behind by the Northeast Army were cheaper for them, including some French-made Renault FT-17 light tanks. In this way, the Second Independent Garrison Brigade was transformed into a phoenix overnight, and became one of the few mechanized units in the Japanese army.

It is precisely because of this that all the 2nd Squadron and the 3rd Squadron, which were originally stationed in Pingyin, had a total of more than 500 people, attached to a chariot squad, and under the leadership of Captain Kiyoi Kawakami, the leader of the 2nd Squadron, and the deputy Noda Kofu of the 3rd Squadron, and Lieutenant Suemori Kawamoto, they rode in more than 20 trucks and rushed towards the direction of the first line of heaven in a mechanized march.

If it weren't for that familiar name, Jiang Shan really didn't want to provoke these guys who were armed to the teeth. The characteristics of the Falcon Squad and the Eighth Route Army are basically the same, and they are familiar with movement warfare and guerrilla warfare, but positional warfare and offensive and defensive warfare are their shortcomings. In the face of the mechanized troops of the Japanese army, the slightest carelessness will lead to a stalemate of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of themselves.

But Mamoru Kawamoto is here! Even if there is all kinds of reluctance, as long as the culprit who fired the first shot of the 918 incident is there, Jiang Shan swears that even if he breaks his mouth full of teeth, he will gnaw this hard bone! This demon, stained with the blood of the Chinese, has been at large in China for seven years, and now it's time to pay back the bill!

Although he made up his mind to fight, how to fight still made Jiangshan quite brainless. Lacking effective anti-tank weapons at hand, it is basically impossible to eat that tank squad directly in the midst of the opponent's heavy troops. Fortunately, Hawkeye, who went out to reconnoiter the movements of the Japanese army, brought back a fairly good news, because the speed of the chariot could not keep up with the speed of the car, the Japanese infantry who were in a hurry took the car and left the chariot squad about twenty kilometers behind.

Jiang Shan secretly rejoiced in his heart, the Japanese army, which had no experience in large-scale armored cluster operations, was simply like an idiot in terms of infantry and tank coordination, and such a way of marching could not form an effective echo and cover for each other between infantry and tanks. After the infantry in front is put into battle, the tanks in the rear can only act as boring spectators, and once the tanks lose the cover of the accompanying infantry, they are extremely vulnerable to enemy attacks, and at that time, the infantry will not have time to come back, and those bulky tanks will be the live targets of the anti-tank forces.

You must know that the German armored forces are unique in the world at this time, and the German steel torrent, under the leadership of Guderian, Manstein, Rommel and others, is playing the blitzkrieg to the fullest, galloping and invincible on the road of Europe and Africa. Jiang Shan has received German military education for so long, and although the special operations and armored combat modes he has learned are very different, he still knows a little about these basic knowledge.

To put it mildly, if there is no coordinated protection of the infantry, the Japanese army's thin-skinned Type 94 ultra-light tanks can be played to death by changing flowers. Needless to say, the Czech-made ZB-26 light machine gun in the hands of the mountain wolf is enough for these little potatoes to drink a pot.

After a brief consideration, Jiang Shan quickly made a decision: let the infantry in front of him go! With such a large number of infantrymen, they don't have such a big appetite to eat, and the 8 thin-skinned and stuffed bean chariots in the reinforced chariot squad behind are their own dishes!

In the second Type 94 ultralight tank in Noda's team, the driver was constantly urging the driver to speed up the march in order to catch up with the infantry of Captain Kiyoichi Kawakami and Lieutenant Suemi Kawamoto, although he also knew that this was basically impossible - the top speed of 40 kilometers per hour was too sad! However, the order of the military headquarters was in front of him, and he knew that he could not do anything, and he still had to make an effort to do so.

It turned out that the person sitting in this should be the supreme commander of the army, Captain Kiyoichi Kawakami, but this old-fashioned guy said that cowering and hiding in the chariot is not what a glorious Imperial Army soldier should be, as the highest commander of the army, he naturally wants to be with his own troops. Thus, the glorious task of coordinating between infantry and chariot units fell on the shoulders of Noda Koshio.

"What an idiot, how can a car be safe?" Noda muttered to himself as he cowered in the small space of the chariot. Compared with the spacious and bright cab of the car, although the space inside the combat vehicle is small and dirty, and the exhaust gases from the engine are also dirty, but on the battlefield, the "strong" characteristics of the protective performance are obviously more attractive.

But this kind of words, he can only muttered secretly, if Captain Kawakami hears it, he may not be able to run away with this slap.

A loud "boom" sound woke up Lieutenant Noda, who was wandering in the world, and through the narrow observation window, he looked at the No. 1 car that burned into a fireball fifty meters in front of him, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Enemy attack!"

The driver's heart-rending shout finally brought him back to his senses, and the engines of the remaining seven bean chariots behind him let out a roar of battle formation.

But before they could react, there was a sudden explosion in the rear, and another bean chariot at the back of the marching line, the 3.45-ton hull jumped strangely on the ground twice, and a ball of flames broke through the hatch of the top personnel and went straight into the sky. Immediately after that, after a crackling sound of ammunition detonation inside the hull, the entire tank was torn apart and turned into a state of parts.

Noda Cultivator gasped when he saw it, looking at the power of this explosion, it was caused by the explosion of at least ten cluster grenades!
