Chapter 213 The Blitzkrieg of the Chinese Army

After the air force took action, the ground forces were not idle, and after the air force bombed the Japanese defensive front, the mechanized artillery quickly bombarded again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before the Japanese could recover from the heavy bombardment, a huge armored corps composed of nearly 500 tanks launched and rushed towards the Japanese position with a loud roar, and six motorized infantry divisions also followed the rapid advance.

The huge torrent of steel formed a line, crushing as fast as a wave.

The tactical objective of the Chinese army was very clear, and the main direction of attack was directly from Hebei to the north, along the line of Shijiazhuang, Baoding, and Langfang, to divide the Japanese army in North China into two, and then outflank it from the direction of Shanxi, and annihilate it.

"How is that possible? No way? "It was the elite of the Japanese army, the 14th Division, who confronted the Chinese army in Shijiazhuang, and the division was the notorious Kenji Dohihara, who saw the Chinese army bombarding and then quickly dispatching such a large number of armored troops, and his jaw almost fell on the spot.

"Immediately organize death squads, anti-tank artillery units......" Kenji Dohihara frantically ordered, because the mechanized units of the Chinese army were attacking too fast, and he didn't have much time to arrange.

The Japanese army did not have time to slowly organize a meat bomb team, so they directly ordered the commanders of the troops at the forefront to quickly distribute explosive weapons such as explosive bags and grenades, and then immediately let the soldiers who got these weapons act as meat bomb death squads, which could not be refused.

The Japanese troops, who had been armed with explosives, cluster grenades, or Molotov cocktails, were only slightly organized and then ordered to attack the armored clusters that the Chinese troops had already rushed in.

But are these people really so easy to rush in front of the armored clusters of the Chinese army?

Apparently it was too unexpected, the tank guns had already begun to shoot, and they were frantically exploding in the Japanese positions, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns were also firing wildly.

Several motorized infantry divisions did not even bother to stop, and machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns were fired directly on cars and motorcycles from a long distance.

There are also fighters who put the Reaper machine gun directly on the roof of the car, and then it is a mobile pillbox. These Reaper machine guns are still the ones supported by Wei Qidong during the Battle of Shanghai, and the bullets consumed are now available for China's arsenal to produce by itself, so they can also be extravagant at this time.

In this way, in the dense sound of gunfire, it was difficult for the Japanese army to get close at all, only a few occasionally pretended to lie on the ground and wanted to fish in troubled water to blow up a tank, but the moment they got up, there would be firepower to quickly take care of it.

In this way, the Japanese army's meat bullets dared to die, and they died in batches at the front of the armored corps, and then they were crushed into meat pies by the torrent of steel.

Swiftly, the armored troops rushed to the Japanese positions, because the Japanese did not expect the Chinese army to gather such a huge armored cluster, so they did not build anti-tank trenches at all, and these infantry trenches could not stop the advance of the tanks at all.

The accompanying several motorized infantry divisions were the first to divide the forces of the two divisions to cooperate with the armored cluster to fight in order to clear the Japanese troops on the Japanese position, and at the same time divide the troops to quickly fill in the trenches and the like, so that the mechanization can advance quickly.

The division of labor is very clear, and this is the result of these months of training.

The current Chinese army, not to mention very proficient in infantry and tank cooperation, is at least much stronger than the backward tactics of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army still organized its forces again and again to confront the armored clusters, but without exception, they were quelled by the armored torrent of the Chinese army and the accompanying infantry.

Because China is now forming several motorized infantry divisions, each squad must be equipped with two submachine guns and one light machine gun, and the firepower can be described as very powerful. The Chinese army's infantry and tank coordination tactics are that a squad is responsible for a tank, as long as a squad does not have major casualties, it is basically enough to ensure fire suppression, making it difficult for the Japanese infantry to get close.

Every tank and every armored vehicle of the Chinese army seems to be very close to the Japanese army, but if they really want to launch a close attack, they will find that it is so difficult.

Therefore, in the face of armor, the Japanese army also had to line up again and again to charge, this primitive way of fighting armor, the success rate is naturally very low, and the casualty rate is very high.

However, the 14th Division has 20,000 or 30,000 men, and it is obviously not obvious that the Chinese army wants to block every Japanese army, after all, the Japanese army is so crazy.

"Kill to ......" Some Japanese soldiers only had grenades or rifles in their hands, and when the grenades were thrown to no effect, they kept shooting with their guns, rushed to the front, and even frantically chopped hard tanks with bayonets.

However, this kind of crazy struggle could not give the 14th Division a long time, nor could it really stop the footsteps of the Chinese army, after all, how flesh and blood collided with the torrent of steel.

You must know that no matter how powerful the 14th Division of the Japanese Army is, it is only an infantry division, while the Chinese army has several hundred armored vehicles, and there are planes in the sky that occupy air supremacy, and there are several motorized infantry divisions underground.

Moreover, the Chinese army, which can be equipped with such good equipment, must also be elite. Although the quality of individual soldiers in the Chinese army may be inferior to that of the Japanese army on average due to various reasons such as training, in terms of morale and courage, it is not bad at all.

Absolutely, the Chinese army, which has been well equipped, dares to compete with the army of any country, and the Chinese army is one of the best arms in the world, and it is not a boast.

At this time, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army really appreciated the combat power of the Chinese army with advanced equipment, no matter how cunning Kenji Dohihara was, no matter how good he was at fighting, in the face of such a disparity, even if he didn't count the casualties, he couldn't block the impact of this torrent of steel.

Blitzkrieg, which appeared for the first time on the battlefield in the East, also proved the advanced and effective tactics of this tactic.

Everywhere the Chinese army passed, there were corpses of Japanese soldiers, and only occasionally they could see damaged tanks and armored vehicles, which was really nothing compared to the results of the battle. For the first time, the Chinese army also experienced the huge battle loss ratio of many enemies in exchange for one for one.

The defense line of the 14th Division was fiercely torn apart, and Kenji Dohihara couldn't block it if he wanted to, and in desperation, Kenji Dohihara could only report to the North China Front Headquarters about the terrible new tactics of the Chinese army.

He is not afraid of death, and his subordinates are not afraid of death, but it is not possible to solve the problem by dying, and the 14th Division does not have any effective way to fight against armor at the moment. If there are only a dozen, dozens of armored ones, even if you use your life to fill them, you can fill them up.

However, hundreds of them, and they appear in clusters, this is a bottomless pit, what to fill in?

What's more, there are also powerful mechanized infantry to follow, even if he is willing to take the lives of soldiers to fill in, the Chinese army does not agree, and many meat bullets have not yet approached, and they have been crushed into slag by the mechanized infantry of the Chinese army.

It was in the face of this situation that the arrogant Kenji Dohihara had to put down his body and ask for help from the rear, which also reflected from another aspect, he admitted his defeat.
