Chapter 568: The Shuangliao Crisis of the Japanese Army in the Eastern Crusade (1)
The fierceness of the battle can be imagined, with infantry without anti-tank weapons to resist the world's most advanced armored group, as long as you know a little military common sense, you can think of the outcome of this battle, Major General Inoue Taro also knows what the end of the army he led will face. Qishuwu no pop-up window.qishuu.
However, Inoue Taro still has a little hope in his heart, that is, it is only 20 minutes before His Excellency the division commander informs him of the arrival of reinforcements, as long as these 20 minutes pass, at least 50 combat vehicles of reinforcements will arrive, and hundreds of fighters in the headquarters are rushing to this side overnight, so Major General Inoue Taro knows that his side must not be withdrawn, otherwise the consequences are quite serious, not only his 14th Infantry Brigade may be completely wiped out by the Chinese army, In addition, a great opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Panzer Group in China could be lost.
"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da"
The sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun is constantly roaring, and the 75mm caliber mountain artillery is also constantly firing at the squadron, because the tank unit of the squadron is infinitely close to the position of the Japanese army, so whether it is the Japanese mountain artillery or the field artillery, the elevation angle is adjusted to the maximum, and the shells will hit the position of the Japanese infantry if they are not careful. As for the mortars of the front-line infantry, they were fired at almost a right-angle angle, which made Wan Guoquan sitting in the tank feel admired.
However, the thickness of the T-34's armor is 60mm, and even the thickness of the side dealers is more than 45mm, not to mention the 92-type heavy machine gun, even if the 75mm mountain gun hits head-on, it will not pose any threat to the T-34, otherwise the T-34 crisis on the Soviet-German battlefield will not be possible.
"Order: Shi Yongfeng's brigade will charge with all his might, and Wang Jianliang's brigade will follow up, and a little devil must not be allowed to escape." The order was given by the tank radio of the nations.
"Boom"
Shells continued to explode on the Japanese positions, the machine gunners on the Chinese tanks continued to strafe the Japanese positions, the first line of defense of the Japanese army was declared lost in less than 5 minutes, Inoue Taro urgently ordered the troops to withdraw to the second line of defense, in order to buy time for the troops, Major General Inoue Taro had to order the brigade chief of staff to organize officer death squads.
Officer death squads are a tradition of the Japanese Army, and once the war is not going well, especially when it is stubbornly resisted by the enemy, the Japanese army will organize officer death squads. Such officer death squads were generally composed of low-ranking officers above the rank of military officer, and then under the cover of artillery fire, they launched a suicidal attack on the enemy's strong fortifications, and the mortality rate was extremely high. However, the risk and big benefit are also extremely exciting, once the task is completed and there is no death, such an officer will be reused by the superiors, the most rigid rule is that the military rank is promoted by 2 levels, if you participate in the officer death squad before the military Cao, then after the war, you will be directly promoted to lieutenant, if it is a captain, then you will be directly promoted to lieutenant after the war.
As we all know, the military cao in the Japanese army is actually not an officer, and the promotion of the officer's position has a direct relationship with the military rank, among which the promotion process of the rank is the most difficult from the lieutenant to the major commander and the major general, so the officers who participate in the officer death squad are generally officers at the two levels of the officer cao and the captain.
Soon 55 officers above and below the rank of military cao were assembled, and Inoue Taro made it very clear this time that this time the officer death squad was not going to storm the positions of the Shina Army, but to destroy the Chariot Units of the Shina Division, and each officer was equipped with two elite soldiers as assistants, carrying explosive bags and cluster grenades to launch a suicide attack on the Shina Chariot Group.
Every Japanese officer who was called up knew his fate, so any mission was the same for them, and the chances of surviving every time they joined the officers' death squad were slim anyway.
"Order: All artillery guns are fired, and all efforts are made to cover the death squad's charge."
"Hay!"
Suddenly, the firepower on the Japanese position became extremely fierce, and the Japanese artillery units that were firing almost vertically also fired shells at Wan Guoquan's armored troops, and Wan Guoquan saw with his own eyes that a Japanese artillery shell fell on the forward position of the Japanese army, directly blowing up a Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun that fired bullets violently, and parts flew everywhere.
Under the cover of artillery fire, nearly 200 imps jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the rapidly advancing tanks. This tactic has been seen before, and it is known that it was a suicide attack by Japan. Wan Guoquan immediately ordered the machine gunners on the tank to immediately aim at these little devils who were quickly approaching the tank to shoot, and these dead soldiers of the Japanese army must not be allowed to get close to the tank.
Although Wan Guoquan's tank unit that has been charging until now is not driving a Japanese-made Wang Ba box iron coffin, Wan Guoquan is not sure whether the T-34 can withstand the attack of the explosive package, you must know that the Japanese-made Type 94 and Type 95 tanks can be blasted with only cluster grenades, and the latest Type 97 tank cannot support the bombing of 15 kg of explosives, so Wan Guoquan does not dare to experiment with Commander Han's baby tank.
In fact, without Wan Guoquan's order, the tank soldiers will not let the Japanese infantry approach the combat vehicles, because the previous squadron has no combat vehicles and no anti-tank weapons, so the only way to deal with the Japanese combat vehicles is only one way, and this method is almost exactly the same as the current posture of the Japanese army, the same tragedy can not arouse any sympathy from the soldiers, but the vast majority of the soldiers still have an inexplicable pleasure in their hearts, and the soldiers who gloat are very involved.
The world of the white spoon of the soldiers is actually very simple, joys, sorrows and sorrows are written on their faces, they don't have so many twists and turns, they are not as hypocritical as politicians and not so cunning as businessmen, they only know that their comrades and comrades are in this way and the enemy's tanks are gone, so no matter what, they can't let the little devils get close to their precious tanks.
Because there was almost no coordination training with the infantry, the cooperation between the armored units and the infantry of the Inner Mongolia Military Region was almost blank, and the previous duel between tanks was carried out, and the infantry could not intervene at all, so now the infantry is still a kilometer away, and there is no time to protect the tank.
Although the tankmen did their best to kill more than half of the Japanese death squad officers and their white-spoon assistants, there were still two dozen fish that slipped through the net and rushed into the armored units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. With the slogans of "Long live the Great Japanese Empire" and "The Great Japanese Imperial Army is invincible," a violent explosion sounded in the armored group of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.
However, after the smoke passed, the three-meter-tall T-34 stepped on the Japanese corpse like a proud rooster and continued to move forward, without any traces of injury, only the blood stains on the body and the tracks blackened by explosives showed the tragedy just now.
The Japanese were dumbfounded, they didn't know what kind of steel monsters they were encountering, and so far there was no weapon that could effectively deal with this new tank, and how to fight this battle.
"Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the officer death squad has been wiped out, and not a single chariot of the branch is damaged!"
"Got it! You ordered your troops to hold their positions at all costs, and reinforcements were coming soon. Inoue Taro looked at his pocket watch, 15 minutes had passed, and there were only about five minutes left before the reinforcements arrived, and Inoue Taro had already seen the huge lights flashing in the distance, and he couldn't imagine that there were other members coming here from behind except for the reinforcements from the division headquarters.
However, Taro Inoue didn't feel how excited he was at all, after seeing the strong combat effectiveness of the Chinese tank troops, Major General Taro Inoue was completely desperate, he knew the protection ability of the Empire's Type 97 tank, the 25mm thick armor may be good, nearly twice as thick as the Type 94 and Type 95 ...
