Chapter 1837 Breaking through the border

September 16, 1940, the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At four o'clock in the morning, the land was silent.

There is a saying that autumn is high and cool, and most parts of China have relatively sunny weather in autumn, and if the weather is beautiful, many areas can see the full full moon, but in the southern part of Indochina and most parts of India, this is undoubtedly a luxury.

Although it has entered the end of the rainy season, it is still rainy in Malaya, Myanmar and much of the East Indies, and although there is no rain for several days, the clouds are thick and the moon and stars are tightly hidden, and the weather is humid and hot, and the land is dark.

It was the beginning of a new week, and most of the Japanese troops stationed on the border had just spent the weekend and had not yet changed their guards, and a small number of devils and puppet soldiers who were on duty with tense nerves also relaxed their vigilance.

You must know that the *** at this time is also going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and almost all *** people know that the Chinese attach great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival, second only to the Spring Festival. On this day, everyone who has the conditions must have a family reunion and enjoy the moon with wine, so their minds are relaxed.

It's a pity that *** people guessed wrong, this day is the day when An Jiajun chooses to launch a counteroffensive, and only one of the two powers is destined to become the hegemon of Southeast Asia and India.

The Malay Peninsula, the border between Taogong County and Malaya, after nearly two years, has once again ignited the flames of war.

In the night, as three red signal flares rose into the air, more than 2,000 large and small caliber howitzers, cannons, howitzers, and mortars of Wang Xulun's First Group Army roared together.

Among these artillery, the most striking is the rocket artillery unit.

At the level of the Anjia Army Group Army, it is equipped with a rocket artillery brigade, which is equipped with 130-mm 19-barrel rocket artillery. The orientation system of this kind of rocket artillery is composed of 19 seamless steel pipes, which are arranged in two rows according to 10 up and 9 down, and are fixed on the box-shaped truss, and each directional tube is equipped with a spring-type locking bomb blocking device and a conductive device at the back and top, and the rocket artillery uses a car battery as a firing power source, and is equipped with an external launch device.

The rocket artillery brigade has nine rocket artillery battalions, each of which is equipped with a battalion headquarters, three artillery batteries, and vehicles including a battalion command vehicle, three forward observation posts/reconnaissance vehicles, a maintenance vehicle, 18 transport vehicles, and 18 rocket artillery vehicles. Each artillery battery consists of a company command vehicle, six rocket launchers, and six rocket transporters.

Nine rocket artillery battalions are concentrated with a total of 162 rocket artillery pieces, each of which can fire 19 rockets, and can fire more than 3,000 rockets of 130 mm caliber at one time.

In the "rumbling" cannon sound, countless fire dragons left the launcher and rained down the steel rain of death on the Japanese position. The dense rain of meteors pierced the sky, dragging their long tails, scrambling to rush towards the Japanese positions on the other side of the boundary river.

More than 3,000 rockets and more than 2,000 artillery shells reflected each other in the air, and the sky and ground were as bright as day.

The air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and all I could hear was the shrill whistling of grenades and rockets tearing through the air, and the sound of explosions resounding across the land.

The Japanese army was holding the Kelantan border area with the 3rd Independent Infantry Brigade under the Malayan Front, which had four border garrison brigades under its jurisdiction and a total of 5,000 men.

Assisting the defense of these four Japanese border garrison brigades were 28,000 indigenous troops from the 9th and 10th divisions of the Malay Army. The Malay army was composed of two brigades and four regiments, with a division of about 14,000 men, each regiment of more than 3,000 men, all armed with Lee-Enfield rifles produced by British military factories in Malaya, Burma and the East Indies in the possession of ***, with almost no heavy firepower.

In fact, almost all of the Blue Indian Army, the Philippine Army, the Burmese Army and the Japanese and Indian Army, which were painstakingly supported, used British-made equipment. On the one hand, it is too difficult to transform the production lines of so many military factories into weapons production lines suitable for the use of the Japanese army, and on the other hand, the battlefield needs to constantly have fully equipped troops to be put into the front line, and there is no time left for skilled workers to carry out the transformation, so the situation has formed that the Japanese army is now equipped with a series of Japanese-style weapons, while the puppet army is equipped with more powerful British-made individual weapons.

Of course, all heavy firepower, such as the Bren machine gun with 7.7mm cartridges and twin Vickers heavy machine guns, the 12.7mm Bois anti-tank gun, and the 50.8mm and 152.4mm mortars, were all used by the Japanese. Most colonial armies had no access to aircraft, artillery, light and heavy machine guns, and their only supporting firepower was grenadiers and grenades. After all, what the Japanese army needs is cannon fodder, not a war monster that affects its own rule.

As a result of the two-year period of peace, most of the Japanese and Malay troops lost their vigilance, and instead of living in dark and damp anti-artillery holes, they were stationed in defenceless wooden barracks, where they fell asleep.

The Anjia Army's round of artillery fire almost instantly reimbursed nearly half of the Japanese Army's 3rd Independent Infantry Brigade and the 9th and 10th Divisions of the Malay Army.

The Japanese defensive positions, which were also shrouded in artillery fire, were also uncomfortable, and large fireballs evaporated from the trenches, pillboxes, and bunkers, and most of the fortifications collapsed in the violent explosions, and the devils and Malays who were hiding in these fortifications almost had time to think before they turned into blood and flesh.

The rockets were like hail falling, followed by cannon shells, grenades, mortar shells of various calibers, and the "booming" sound was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, almost bursting people's eardrums.

Flesh and blood flew on the Japanese position, and the fuel that had not yet burned out was stirred up by explosives and thrown everywhere, often a 130mm caliber rocket fell to the ground, and the surrounding area was burned into a circle of fire, which was a real large-scale kill! The boiling air waves, like stones thrown into a pond in the explosion, immediately took the explosion point as the center, and attacked in a circle, and the Japanese positions, soldiers, weapons and fortifications were quickly swallowed up in the flames that rose into the sky.

The men and the Malays, the ghosts cry and the wolves howl, and the wolves run in all directions.

However, under such a dense rain of bullets, how can you escape with your life? From officers to soldiers, they were covered in the scorching rain of death steel, torn to pieces one by one, with stumps and broken arms mixed with internal organs, and the entire Japanese defense line became a purgatory.

The Japanese army's independent infantry brigade was not equipped with artillery, so it was impossible to counterattack the artillery bombardment of the Anjia army. Of course, even if the main divisions and regiments of the Japanese army are now strengthened with equipment, and concentrate the artillery directly under the artillery wing and the artillery directly under the brigades, regiments, wings, and brigades below, all the artillery pieces will not add up to more than 200 guns, and it is purely a fool's dream to counterattack so many artillery.

The shelling continued, and rows of rockets as dense as locusts crossing the border came in a roar, spreading from the edge of the boundary river to the strong reinforced concrete fortifications five kilometers behind the rear, and everything flew out as if blown up by a strong wind.

The whole earth, like the surface of the moon, is so potholed that it is almost impossible to see a complete piece of flat land.

In just half an hour, the defense line of more than ten kilometers in the central area of the shelling collapsed, and occasionally there were some remnants of fortifications, which stood there so abruptly, and most people knew very well in their hearts that these fortresses that had lost their wings were difficult to withstand the destruction of the officers and soldiers of Anjia who were armed to the teeth.

In the eastern sky, a glimmer of dawn was revealed, and there was a glimmer of bright color on the ground, so that things could be seen more clearly.

At this time, the artillery fire began to gradually extend to the rear, and the dizzy devil soldiers and Malays, who had been dizzy, supported each other one by one, crawled out of the dilapidated trenches, bunkers, anti-artillery holes and other defensive facilities with fear, and stood on the battered position, wanting to cry without tears.

The once tight defensive system has been destroyed to the point of devastation, there are skylit bunkers everywhere, most of the fortifications have collapsed, the trenches and communication ditches have been razed to the ground, and the soft ground has been blown up and there are broken gun parts everywhere.

The earth smelled of a strange fishy smell and looked red, and some Malays curiously picked up a handful of dirt and found that it was mixed with pieces of flesh and blood, as well as feces contained in many internal organs, no wonder the smell was so unpleasant. Some unlucky guys, blood flowed wildly from their hands, and it turned out that the dirt was full of broken bomb fragments, which were unusually sharp, and at the slightest touch, the epidermis of the skin was cut, and the blood flew out at once.

On the other side of the river, the large engineer vehicles of the An Jiajun had already driven to the edge of the Jiehe River, and as the carriages of the butt of the cars were raised high, pieces of prefabricated steel components fell into the rough river, and countless sappers wearing camouflage air cushion suits jumped on the prefabricated components floating on the water, drove the engines, and drove towards the border side.

When the devil saw this, did he pay it back? Swiftly, under the command of the junior army Cao and the lieutenant, the remnants of the Japanese and Malay troops began to search for undamaged guns in the dirt in an attempt to stop the river crossing initiated by the An Jia army.

Unfortunately, when most of the enemy was still looking for weapons, there was a dense "buzzing" sound in the sky, and more than 100 warplanes roared from the northern sky, quickly bringing death and terror to the Japanese and Malay troops.

This air raid is a standard air force tactic of the Anjia Army.

At the forefront, there were two squadrons of A28 fighters on escort duty, they swept from a low altitude, eight 12.7mm caliber aviation machine guns, splashed a terrifying barrage, and all the devils and Lanyin soldiers who exposed their bodies instantly turned into a lump of flesh and blood.

Immediately behind the A28 fighters were two squadrons of Q2 fighter planes, which rained rockets into the ground from a distance, followed by bombs, and then two 37-mm guns in the nose and a 12.7-mm machine gun on each wing of the aircraft sent out a dense rain of bullets, quickly removing all the fire points in the target.

Behind the two squadrons of Q2 fighters, were B1 bombers.

This kind of mosquito bomber, for the elimination of the ground miscellaneous crowd, very powerful, as the group of aircraft from the Japanese position flying horizontally, the bomb compartment opened, one after another like fish spawning in the water, a large area of slamming towards the ground, the crowd is a little dense, a navigation bomb down, the whole ground except the fireworks jumped, nothing else can be seen, and when the smoke drifts away, except for the dense craters, there is nothing.

Behind it was the B2-D bomber modeled after the Stuka Ju-87.

Due to the frequent replacement of the engine and the reinforcement of the fuselage, the current B2 has evolved to ***, and the range, speed, and bomb carrying capacity have increased significantly. The B2-D bombers roared and let out a terrible screeching sound, and swooped down from high in the air, the fighters almost broke the sound barrier under the effect of gravitational acceleration, and one after another heavy bombs of more than a ton left the pylons at high speed and fell on the ground, which were lonely, undestroyed by previous artillery fire.

Such a bomb could easily destroy the thick steel plates of a battleship, not to mention the concrete fortresses made of reinforced concrete, and in the devil's scream, the strongest pillboxes were easily destroyed under the dive attack of the B2-D bombers, like infantry targets.

These forts, which are generally half a meter or even one meter thick, have been opened one after another, and the devils and Malays, who have been lucky enough to escape the attacks of artillery and rocket artillery, have been reduced to minced meat with the explosion of thousands of kilograms of aerial bombs. Even if the bunker is not destroyed because of the angle of the explosion, the shock wave from the huge explosion will instantly shatter the internal organs of the people in the bunker, and blood will come out of the mouth and nose and die.

After this round of blows, the devils on the ground have once again been greatly reduced.

However, we should never overestimate the role of weapons, if an army can be defeated through continuous artillery fire and aerial bombs, how to explain the many successful cases of the famous resistance war created by that army during the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea?

Therefore, a large number of devils and Malays, even under the baptism of aerial bombs, still helped each other to get up from the dilapidated trenches and fortifications, and shot at the river in the face of blows from the sky.

At this time, the last wave of planes arrived.

This is another twin-engine bomber modified from the AB26, which climbs high, has a long range, fast speed, thick armor, and large bomb capacity, and can take into account both dive and horizontal bombing B-3C bombers.

The bomber group swept over at an altitude of 1,000 meters and dropped one bomb after another, because there was no acceleration, the speed of the bombs was generally not fast, but the terrible thing was that at a distance of five or six meters from the ground, these dense aerial bombs suddenly exploded, enveloping the entire Japanese position in shrapnel.

Many devils who had continuously evaded artillery shelling and air raids finally did not escape this round of blows, and their bodies were quickly shattered by the flying shrapnel, and there were no corpses.

However, there were still devils and Malays who used the angle of trenches and fortifications to escape this round of attacks, but by this time, several improvised pontoon bridges had been built, and the infantry of the 1st Division had already begun to cross the river.

The First Group Army was originally the main force in the main force, and the officers and men of the three divisions below were absolutely elite, and although their attack formations were scattered, their firepower was extremely concentrated; although the remaining devils and Malay soldiers used all kinds of weapons to shoot, the officers and men were frightened, using mortars and grenade launchers to shoot smoke bombs, and then taking advantage of the opportunity of the smoke screen to envelop the Japanese army, like arrows from the string, approaching the enemy at high speed.

The snipers and gunners of the various attack groups looked for the most suitable attack sites such as craters, and a sniper rifle with a handle of 7.6mm and 12.7mm caliber sniper rifles either shot the head or broke their necks, and the blood sprayed wildly, and the death was extremely miserable.

There is also a Type I general-purpose machine gun, which fires the bullets on the chain at high speed, and under the care of the tongues of fire like the sickle of death, many devils and Malays who shoot with their heads are quickly killed. Bullets shrouded the Japanese positions like a curtain, and even devils who were deeply influenced by bushido did not dare to raise their heads and shoot easily.

In the blink of an eye, the Anjia Army assault infantry had rushed to the front of the Japanese position, grenade launchers and flamethrowers, majestic, and the devil's position was instantly shrouded in a sea of fire. Those hidden bunkers that survived tenaciously, under the attack of the bazooka players, were overturned one by one, and the devils inside flew into the sky together with the bombed bunkers.

With precise cooperation, the officers and men of the An Jia Army have broken through into the Japanese position with zero losses.

The Japanese army was completely denied the opportunity to fight kitchen knives, automatic rifles and submachine guns, and all devils who dared to approach were cut to the ground like thatch.

Behind the submachine guns and automatic rifles, there are also shell gunners who are ready to protect them to ensure the safety of the team members who change magazines.

The devils were also extremely brave, they ordered the Malays to take off their shirts, tie bombs, form suicide squads, and pounce on the soldiers of the An Jiajun, but the general-purpose machine guns that had already moved the position forward, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, turned the "Malay meat bullets" into "suicide meat bombs", and they were beaten into a sieve hundreds of meters away from the officers and soldiers of An Jia. Occasionally, there is a tragic figure who detonates a bomb and has no bones left.

The current Anjia Army has far surpassed the US military in the same period in terms of firepower allocation. The U.S. Army is generally only equipped with M1 semi-automatic rifles, no automatic rifles, no general-purpose machine guns, only Browning light machine guns, therefore, in the engagement with the Japanese army, it is often impossible to completely suppress the Japanese attack, and in close combat, it is forced by the momentum of the Japanese army to fight bayonets, and the army is defeated.

In several major battles in Australia, the US military had absolute superiority in firepower. However, the Japanese army often did not fight a head-on battle with the US army, but by attacking the two flanks, penetrating deep into the back of the US army, flanking the front and rear, and taking advantage of the chaos of the US army's position to launch a surprise attack, so the Yankees, who were seriously weakened, were inevitably defeated.

At present, MacArthur, affectionately known as the "captain of the transport brigade", has been deeply involved in the 25 divisions of the Japanese army on the Australian mainland through continuous combat with the US army, and nearly half of the troops have been equipped with American-style equipment, and the heavy firepower and transport vehicles have been greatly strengthened. China is considering building several U.S. weapons factories in the western region of Australia to make use of Australia's rich coal and iron resources to meet the needs of front-line warfare.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the officers and soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, only to find that only 120 of the 5,000 Japanese troops survived, and they were imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp together with more than 600 remnants of the Malay army, and received the education of the "Japanese Mission" organized by the Anjia Army in 37 and 38 years in North China, Songhu and Siberia respectively.

The high-level has always refused to admit prisoners, so most of these *** people who chose to join the An Jiajun are desperate to serve the An Jiajun. With the increasing number of troops, the force has now expanded to more than 28,000 people. The General Staff organized it into two corps, six detachments, and eighteen brigades, and An Yi's plan was to send this unit out to act as a thug when he counterattacked in the future, which must be very interesting.
