Chapter 70: The Japanese Tank Brigade
The three joint combat units of the Japanese army, which were responsible for attacking Shenyang, were all under the unified command of Mitsuji, chief of staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army.
At this time, I listened to the report of my subordinates, "Chief of Staff, a brigade of the 1st Brigade of the Flying Division of our department responsible for this air attack has been completely wiped out. ”
Miyake Koji slammed the folder in his hand, "Didn't you say that three fighters survived and flew back?" ”
"Chief of Staff!" The operational staff officer in charge of the report was deeply saddened. "Chief of Staff, that ...... As soon as the three seriously wounded fighters flew off the battlefield, they were knocked down by the enemy's rapid maneuvering anti-aircraft fire! Only one pilot had time to parachute out, but as soon as he came out, he was beaten in two by the enemy's anti-aircraft machine gun! The 1st Aviation Brigade of the flight regiment dispatched this time was all killed! No life is still alive! ”
"Yaga! Damn the Chinese people! There will be anti-aircraft weapons? Why didn't you report it beforehand? What do you spy people eat? "Mitsuji Miyake is furious!
"Report to the Chief of Staff, the first to fight the enemy were our 2nd Independent Garrison and 5th Independent Garrison. However, these two troops only had time to send a telegram saying that they had been attacked by the enemy and asked for reinforcements, and no more telegrams were sent after that, and we later learned that the whole army had been annihilated! When the spies sent by our army from the Lushun base camp arrived in Shenyang, they were only a few hours earlier than our troops, and they could not detect this kind of confidential information in such a short period of time! The chief of staff looked helpless.
"Yaga! You spies are all rice buckets! It's a bastard! The warriors of a flying group of our empire and their warplanes were all wiped out! This is your dereliction of duty! I'm going to get all the tank brigades and mixed infantry brigades out there, and those damned spies, tell them, let them charge with the soldiers! Everyone gave them a rifle, and this was their last chance to atone for their dereliction of duty! Mitsuji Miyake said with red eyes.
"Hayi!" This staff officer immediately went down to deliver the order.
Miyake Mitsuji looked at his uniform array formation, and he was quite excited!
"Damn China, your machine guns can take down our planes, but they can't resist our steel monsters! I will use these steel machines to break through Shenyang City, and then rob, kill, and burn all of your hateful Zhina! I will raze Shenyang to the ground and pay tribute to the fallen warriors of the Empire! Miyake Mitsuji's heart roared wildly.
The Japanese tank brigades charged ahead, followed by mixed infantry brigades. For this kind of infantry and tan cooperative operations that have been tested on the battlefield and proved to be very effective, Miyake Mitsuji likes it very much.
In the mixed infantry brigades, most of them are infantry, but there are also cavalry wings, mountain artillery wings, tank wings and other combat units. However, at this time, all of them were closely behind the tanks of the tank brigade, and in such a charge, the infantry and the tank guarded each other. The tank strikes at the enemy's distance and at the point of fire, and the infantry mainly cleans up the battlefield and strikes at the soldiers who touch the enemy's near the tank. Basically, it can be said that it is an irresistible tactic that is close to perfection!
"Report to the regiment commander, the devil's chariot brigade and mixed infantry brigade have begun to charge, only ten miles away from Shenyang City, and three miles away from our army's position! There will be an encounter in about ten minutes! "A telegram was sent from the scouts of the reconnaissance squadrons placed on the commanding heights of the various hills.
Tian Zheng looked at it, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made the three captains of the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team who were standing next to him who had just gone to Liaocheng to carry out the investigation of some things about Ma Qi's rebellion tremble.
"Damn, these little devils, I guess they're going to be unlucky again!" This is the common idea of the leaders of the three special combat teams.
"All the wolf's teeth, a group of two people, one of them is equipped with a bazooka launcher, two rockets, and the other is equipped with an eight-bar automatic rifle, binoculars, as an observer! Also, press the location marked on the map and start entering the position! Arrive within 3 minutes! Act now! Tian Zheng snorted.
Each member of the team immediately consulted the map, then quickly formed a group and rushed to the intended ambush location in an open-top buggy.
"A1 is in place!"
"A2 is in place!"
……
After each group took its position, it immediately used the individual radio to send a report to Tian Zheng.
Tian Zheng looked at the telegram in his hand, a little depressed. It would be nice to have walkie-talkies! At least there won't be any trouble translating the telegram! But fortunately, it is not difficult to manufacture walkie-talkies, but due to the weak industrial base, there is a lack of some materials! Fortunately, those materials are not difficult to obtain even if they are produced by themselves, and it seems that I have to hurry up and find time to make drawings and let Tianxing make a batch of walkie-talkies!
"The enemy has a total of seventy-eight tanks, ten armored personnel carriers, and about a thousand infantry behind the tanks, as well as cavalry, mountain artillery and other wings behind! The total number of troops the enemy put into battle is about one tank brigade, one mixed infantry brigade, plus a flying group that flew in and was wiped out by us before, which is basically the same as in intelligence! Tian Zheng looked at the picture in the telescope, the Japanese army had already learned the benefits of Butan cooperative operations, and they used it quite well!
That's not all good news! For many other units in the country that lack heavy firepower and have no experience in the awesomeness of infantry and tan coordination, this will greatly increase the casualties of the troops! And it could lead to some strategic blunders!
Thinking of Bu Tan's coordinated operation, Tian Zheng's mind suddenly lit up, "Perhaps, I can also train a mechanized army for Huaxia Kingdom!" ”
Thinking of this, Tian Zheng's thoughts changed a little, he carefully looked at the formation of the Japanese army in the distance, and after confirming it in his heart, he began to give orders.
"Group A and Group B have a total of ten ambush positions, find the enemy's front row of vehicles, assign a tank to each person, whether you are one shell or two shells, be sure to knock it out! Five predetermined ambush positions in Group C to strike at five vehicles in the enemy's rearmost rear! It's best to make enemy vehicles immobile! If the enemy vehicle is too vulnerable, then it is okay to simply knock it out! Also, notify the heavy artillery squadron to enter a state of readiness! Wait until the enemy formation is broken up, report the position of the enemy's cavalry wing, mountain artillery company and infantry to the heavy artillery squadron! If the enemy is trapped in the middle of the formation and can't escape, don't knock it out! That will be our spoils! "Tian Zheng's order is very detailed. For such a station that cannot talk directly, such a detailed order will take some time, but it will not affect the battle situation in front of you! Because it will take at least two minutes for the Japanese to reach their intended range of attack!
