The Japanese army really fought undulating battles, hand-to-hand combat, and its combat power was very strong, and both the American and Soviet troops had a headache. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info when the Japanese army is superior to the Chinese army, it can defeat the Chinese army, and the Chinese army can compete with the US army when it gets equipment similar to the Japanese army. The combat power of the Japanese army is not bad. Those who say that the Japanese army's combat strength is worse than that of the Soviet army, the American army, and the German army, they are still talking about equipment.

It can be seen from some memoirs of the Japanese army that the Japanese army was extremely superstitious about equipment and their spiritual combat power.

The combat power of the elite army of the Japanese army is not an order of magnitude higher than that of the army that the Japanese army later expanded. This can be seen from the tenacity of the Japanese army's Battle of Nomenkan and the Xiongbao of the Battle of the Liberation of the Northeast.

The real nightmare of the Japanese army came.

The Japanese troops who were observing from the high position on the hillside to the west found that after the shelling was completed, the entire position was torn open to see a large opening more than 1,000 meters wide, and the rest of the position was only bombed sporadically a few times.

He immediately realized that the opposite Eight Roads were going to attack from here.

There was a rumble from the position of the Eighth Route Army. That's tanks, dozens of tanks.

The dozens of tanks were clearly divided into three groups, each with a large tank taking the lead.

Unfortunately, the Japanese tanks were blown up, and the Japanese artillery positions were also blown up.

The three tanks at the head of the Eighth Route Army were a kind of tanks that had never been seen before.

If the later military fans see it, they will ask: Is this tank a Tiger tank, a T35 tank, or a Type 59 tank?

Xiaolu gave the drawings of all three tanks to the tank repair shop, and they used the T35 engine after the design of the Tiger Tank Type 59 tank.

This is a secret project, the tank codename: Optimus Prime.

It took Yichun several years of hard work and millions of dollars to build only these three tanks.

The construction of these three tanks was made possible by the equipment of the Soviet tractor factory, otherwise, it would have taken more time to build them almost entirely by hand. The biggest problem is the engine. There was no high-horsepower engine, so I had to make it myself. There are drawings and technical requirements, but there are no proper processing tools, and the tools are obtained, and there is a lack of materials. The engine has been tested many times, and although it is different from the design, it is also the most powerful tank in the world.

The engine is ok, the armor is a problem again. With the availability of special materials, the processing of armor has become a problem again. Armor is OK, weapons are OK again.

Now the weapons have passed, and the electronics are not quite qualified. There was no way, there was an urgent need on the battlefield, so I had to come to the battlefield to experiment and see how its offensive ability was.

On the way to the front by secret transport by train, technicians are also installing new electronic equipment.

These three tanks have always been a top secret in Yichun and even in the upper echelons of Yan'an.

The three groups of tanks were led by the new tanks, the Soviet tanks swept the formation, and the Japanese tanks were mixed on the two wings, and they were fierce and vicious. After crossing the creek and the almost flattened anti-tank trenches, one group headed south, one group west, and one group east, each group of more than a dozen tanks, rushed towards the Japanese position.

The tank that took the lead was fast, leaving the other Russian tanks, the Japanese tanks, behind, muffled, just forward.

The Japanese army also saw the clues. This tank was three or four times heavier than the tanks of the Imperial Army, and its firepower was much stronger, and if it was not destroyed in time, this position would have been destroyed by this tank.

In essence, they judged correctly, the new tank weighed almost three times as much as the Japanese tank, and the firepower was not known to be many times stronger, more powerful, and more flexible. The onward bevel armor made the tank almost impossible to destroy by the existing artillery of the Japanese army.

Infantry guns, mountain guns, and even heavy machine guns on the Japanese positions opened fire on the large tanks that rushed ahead. The Japanese gunners were so powerful that they hit the tank with a single shot. The infantry behind tightened their hearts and said, "It's over." The tank is finished. ”

Before the smoke cleared, the tank had already rushed out of the smoke and charged while firing artillery.

The shells turned out to be harmless.

Japanese artillery and heavy machine guns continued to fire at the tanks, and explosions continued to sound and machine gun shells clanged.

The shells hit several times, leaving not even a single white spot on the tank. Each time it was shot, the tank just shook and moved on.

The tanks were getting closer and closer, and at the sight of the large invulnerable tanks, a fear permeated the Japanese positions.

The tank fired, without even stopping, and opened fire on the artillery position. Almost one cannon at a time, and soon, the Japanese infantry guns were all dumbfired.

The people who drove the tank and the gun were all full-time personnel of the tank factory, and they could not be more familiar with the performance of the tank. A large area of positions has simply become a testing ground for these three tanks, and Soviet tanks have kept up, and Japanese-made tanks are simply out of reach.

Later, when the artillery was collecting the artillery abandoned by the Japanese army, they kept complaining to the tank crew: This cannon was blown to pieces, how to repair it when you go back! How to repair! How to repair!

At this time, large tanks on both the east and west flanks entered the Japanese positions. Seeing that the Japanese artillery was almost out, the big tank began to rampage, turning around the position a few times, and the tanks behind followed.

The tanks stopped together, and the machine guns fired at the Japanese positions.

During the time when the tank stopped, the infantry from behind came up.

The infantrymen who rushed to the front, all with submachine guns, rushed behind the tanks and fired at the Japanese positions.

When the infantry came, the tank continued to advance, this time the speed of the advance was much slower, and when it saw the Japanese machine-gun position, it simply pressed directly.

Suddenly, a frantic roar came out from the rear of the Japanese position on the west side, and a group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the tank shirtless, with strips of cloth tied to their heads, and red plaster ideas on the strips of cloth, holding long wooden poles and carrying explosive buns.

A swarm of moths, pounced on the lights.

The tank's machine guns continued to fire, as did the infantry behind the tank, and the group of Japanese death squads had not gone a few steps before they all fell.

The tank drove to the place where the Japanese death squad had fallen and did not move, and kept firing at the front, and the infantry behind ran up and shot at the dead bodies on the ground.

A Japanese soldier hiding in the crater was about to play dead, and when the big tank arrived, he pulled off the explosives and died with the tank, but unfortunately, the infantry came, and the infantry mended all the dead bodies with a shot, and he was also killed.

After a while, the tank continued to move.

This time, the three huge tanks went on a rampage, with fast speed and flexible movements, and when they encountered wooden stakes, they all crushed when they encountered positions, they all crushed when they encountered pillboxes, and when they encountered anti-tank trenches, they rushed up, arching back and forth a few times, and the trench was flattened.

Three tanks killed as many Japanese soldiers as all the others.

Soon, the Japanese position was firmly torn open a large hole several kilometers wide, and tens of thousands of Eighth Route troops rushed up along this opening like a tide, followed by tanks, and rushed into the Japanese position.

With the expansion of the battlefield, the tanks were obviously insufficient, but the soldiers who came up from behind had already entered the positions of the Japanese army, and they entered the Japanese trenches and communication trenches to attack the Japanese troops inside. Each small group of the Eighth Route Army rushed to the front with at least two submachine guns, and the firepower was strong.

It was at this time that the plane came again. This time, they bombed again where they did not attack on the east and west flanks.

By now, the Japanese army began to be afraid, and as soon as the tanks arrived, some Japanese recruits began to jump out of the trenches and flee for their lives.

The remaining Japanese troops who did not run were all veterans and lower-level officers, and the resistance was very tenacious, and although the Eighth Route Army had tanks, casualties began to increase sharply.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese position was divided into two parts.

At this time, several warships appeared on the sea.

It was the warship that attacked Qinhuangdao in the morning. The attack on Qinhuangdao in the morning took the Japanese defenders of Qinhuangdao by surprise, and the marines occupied most of the city at one point.

Soon, the command headquarters reported the results of reconnaissance planes, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops came from the south, and more than 20,000 Japanese troops came from the north, demanding that they retreat immediately.

At noon, all the Marines were on board. After leaving Qinhuangdao, he fought fiercely at the Japanese troops who chased them to the shore for a while, and then turned around and headed north. The warship was used as a mobile fortress by the marines, who opened fire on the Japanese infantry on the shore with impunity.

The warship left Qinhuangdao and headed north along the coast. After arriving at Shanhaiguan, the old trick was repeated, and the naval guns attacked Shanhaiguan. In the afternoon, the fleet arrived in Suizhong.

Several warships observed the positions, the front command directed them in the direction of the attack, and the naval guns aimed at the Japanese positions on the sea and began shelling, because the distance was not far, the artillery was almost flat.

Under the cover of artillery, the marines landed again, followed by extended artillery fire, and killed the Japanese. The flank and rear flank of the Japanese army were suddenly attacked and there was chaos.

The Japanese troops on the eastern side of the sea could not hold on when they came, and this time they were caught in the flank, and they could not hold on even more.

At half past five in the afternoon, the remaining thousands of Japanese troops in the coastal positions began to retreat, and the warships chased them and bombarded them.

Soon, the troops on the east and west sides met. At this time, the tanks of the central line also arrived, and the large army of tank infantry and marines gathered together to pursue the Japanese army south.

The retreat of the Japanese forces along the eastern coast led to a dramatic change in the situation on the battlefield.

The Japanese army had a sense of fear in their psychology, and this was the biggest change.

In this campaign, the Japanese army spent a long time and energy to build a powerful ground position, intending to consume a large number of Northeast Coalition forces here. The three armed forces fought in concert and were extremely powerful. The introduction of new weapons has greatly weakened the power of ground positions. If this continues, do we need a strong line of defense?

1. Regarding the combat power of the Japanese army, this book sets that the senior generals of the Japanese army are superstitious about weapons, the grassroots officers are very superstitious about spiritual combat power, the veterans are strong, and the combat will and quality of the Japanese recruits are very poor. The Japanese army in North China was in the stage of transferring elite troops and replenishing new troops, so its combat effectiveness declined, but it was higher than that of the Kwantung Army after the major blood change.
