Chapter 81: Frontline Survey (I)
We held our positions, but little Japan relied on the superiority of artillery, tanks, and planes to bomb our positions indiscriminately, and even used poison gas bombs, and some regiments had already fought to less than 100 people, and the entire 74th Army was already less than 5,000 people. ”
"Because you are the elite of the Central Army, annihilate you, and those local troops will collapse without a fight."
Li Mo spoke, and when Yu Jishi heard it, he really felt that it was the same thing, the more the Central Army could fight, the more Little Japan attacked and did not let go, and he couldn't wait to wipe out all the Central Army in one go.
"Chief Zhang, our 74th Army is really running out, do you see if you are sending us some additional soldiers, even if it is a strong man!"
Yu Jishi pleaded with Zhang Zhizhong, and when he said this, Yu Jishi's tears swirled in his eyes, but Zhang Zhizhong had no choice! The Nationalist army invested 1 million elite troops in the Songhu battlefield, but lost more than 400,000 yuan, plus the wounded soldiers and deserters, plus the pursuit and indiscriminate bombing of small Japanese all the way, only more than 300,000 people were left who retreated to the periphery of Nanjing, and Chiang Kai-shek scraped together about 100,000 people, captured some strong men and more than 100,000 people, and sent them all, as a result, nearly 200,000 people were lost in the tug-of-war of more than ten days. There were only 100,000 people killed in battle, but there were 70,000 or 80,000 people who were injured and could not fight, and there were already low morale, and they were strong men who were captured, so it was strange that there were no deserters. In the tug-of-war of more than 10 days, 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers became deserters, and 1,000 or 2,000 deserters were caught and executed.
Rommel was a more rigorous and silent person, not much to say, at this time Rommel still spoke in order to understand the battle situation, Rommel of course spoke German, and Li Mo was in charge of translating:
"May I ask the general, tell me about the characteristics of Japanese tactics?"
After Li Mo finished translating, Yu Jishi thought about it and said:
"Little Japan's tactics, in fact, are very low-level, artillery bombarded the infantry, the infantry rushed the artillery, just this tactic, if it weren't for the advanced weapons of Little Japan, Lao Tzu would have destroyed them long ago."
Little Japan's tactics are indeed simple, the quality of small Japan's individual soldiers is still good, and the firepower of the Chinese army is not strong, so that little Japan can show off its might, but in the face of the US army, which advocates firepower first, Little Japan's group charge can only send its life to the wheat that has been cut.
"And how did their tanks and infantry fight?"
"Little Japanese tanks! It's with the infantry! Tanks support their infantry in battle, it is this little Japanese damn tank, let our countless brothers die, our army division originally had three anti-tank guns, but in the Songhu battlefield all lost, now in order to blow up a small Japanese tank can only be filled with human lives, often have to pay more than 100 brothers' lives, in order to get rid of a Japanese tank. ”
After Yu Jishi finished speaking, his eyes had become red, it could be sadness, or it could be caused by staying up late in command of the battle, no matter what, Yu Jishi should be a very emotional soldier.
As soon as Yu Jishi finished speaking, Li Mo hurriedly translated, and Rommel breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard it, and then looked at Li Mo and smiled, meaning you know, this little Japan is not our dish. The tank tactics of small Japan still stayed in the tactics of supporting the infantry, and the use of tanks in this way could not compete with the German "blitzkrieg" in any case, and the result could only be the fate of being crushed.
Rommel laughed, then asked:
"Excuse me, General, what about the armor and firepower of Japanese tanks?"
"Armor! It's too thick, and the firepower is so fierce that if you send a death squad to blow up a small Japanese tank and don't kill a hundred people, you can't even think about it. ”
"Ahh After listening to the translation, Li Mo was surprised at that time, the armor was too thick? The firepower is too fierce? This startled Rommel, and he hurriedly continued to ask:
"General, please make it clear, for example, what is his front armor, what is his side armor, what is the caliber and multiple diameter of the main gun? How many machine guns are there? ”
"Well, the German guy likes the numbers, so let's do what I know!" Yu Jishi thought secretly, and then said:
"Little Japanese tanks! There are two kinds of tanks, one is called the Type 95 tank, which weighs 7,5 tons, uses a short 37 mm as the main gun of the tank, has two vehicle-mounted machine guns, and the other tank is terrible, and its own weight is about 15 tons, and the use of a short 57 mm tank gun is also two machine guns, his front armor reaches 33 mm, and the side armor is also 8 mm, no matter what machine gun does not want to penetrate, even if we have a precious 37 mm anti-tank gun, we can only penetrate this tank if we can only fire it within 500 meters, The Japanese Type 97 tank is too powerful. ”
As soon as Li Mo finished translating, Li Mo and Rommel couldn't help but laugh and their tears fell, such a tank is also called powerful, then the German No. 4 tank can only be called a god, even the No. 1 tank is stronger than their Type 95, and the No. 2 tank can hit the Type 97 and can't find the north, because the German tanks basically use long barrels, and the small Japan is basically a 24 times the diameter of the tank gun, and the main guns of the German tanks are at least 48 times the diameter, and the Japanese tanks are afraid that they have not yet rushed to the firing range of their main guns. It will be turned into a bonfire by German tanks.
In fact, there are two other tanks in Little Japan that fight on the Chinese battlefield, that is, the Type 88 and Type 89, these two tanks are more rubbish, with a weight of 1,5 tons and 3,5 tons, and these two tanks also have a nickname - "Bean Chariot", which can only block machine gun bullets. Because of the weak industrial system of East Asian countries, they were unable to produce even the worst anti-aircraft guns, which gave little Japan the feeling that it was invincible in the world, and it was an arrogant and ignorant little devil.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's here...... Boom ......"
As soon as Yu Jishi finished speaking, a few shells exploded and fell not far from the trolley, from the point of view of power, it should be a 105 caliber cannon, Japan because of the problem of resources, equipped with not many large-mouth artillery, most of them are small and medium-caliber cannons, such as 92 type infantry guns, 75 mm howitzers, etc., this 105 caliber cannon will be at least equipped with artillery units at the division and regiment level.
"Quick, get out of the car...... Walk along the trenches ......"
After getting out of the car, they bent their waists and sprinted rapidly, jumping into the nearest trench, and the "boom ......" was not too dense shells and fell around, and the earth kicked up by the explosion fell down one after another, hitting the people and sending out a "poof...... poof" sound.
"Commanders, come with me, let's go to the headquarters of the 51st Division, now Xiaori is violently shelling the defensive position they defended, where will the little Japanese attack later, there is absolutely no mistake."
