or 3g "What do you think......... Aren't you afraid of death?"

Looking at the four-type that flew straight towards him, the driver of a ZD20 gritted his teeth and then pulled the cào longitudinal rod, and also rushed straight towards the four-type on the opposite side

"Dead"

On different planes, two pilots said at the same time

At this time, both the sky and the ground have evolved into an Asura field

In the sky, because both sides are well aware of the importance of this battle, so every pilot is desperately engaged in a duel, those gorgeous aerial skills of the past have been completely abandoned, and every pilot has only one thought in his heart, that is, to kill his opponent, even if it is at the cost of his own death...

On the ground, the encircled river-crossing troops also knew very well that if the way of life behind them was cut off, then they would only face the end of the total annihilation, and it was very likely that they would become the first troops to be annihilated by the formation since the start of the war

The two divisions that had already crossed the river, although they were not ace troops, were also members of the main army group, this kind of joke was not funny, not to mention that they did not want to die on the battlefield or fall into the hands of the enemy, so the only way was to break through to the rear, as long as they could break through to the riverbank, then they could retreat to the other side of the river with the ships that came...

At the same time, the Wehrmacht on the other side of the river, under the orders of Ho Jok-guk, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops on the other side, hoping to cross the Hakata River and rescue the encircled comrades...

"How could it be possible for you to succeed so easily..."

With the information at hand, Yamashita Fengwen quickly analyzed the actions of the Wehrmacht―――――― in fact, there was no need for any information, and even if there was no intelligence, Yamashita Fengwen could guess what He Zhuguo wanted to do, because fellow commander Yamashita Fengwen really understood a commander's thoughts in this situation

What's more, in this case, can He Zhuguo really give up the Wehrmacht on the other side of the river?

"Have the troops captured the riverbank?"

Standing in front of the map, listening to the faint sound of gunfire from the front line, Yamashita asked an adjutant officer on the side

"Not yet, but soon"

"It's too slow..."

Yamashita frowned

"Tell me to go down and burn the boats on the river beach as soon as possible after taking the river beach..."

If you want to cross the river, you must have a boat unless you are swimming across the Hakata River

Leaving aside the fact that many of the troops crossing the river were able to swim across the Hakata River, there were a lot of landlubbers in the world, and even if half and half of the boats were burned, at least half of the people would not be able to cross the river, so as long as all the boats could be burned and the support of the Wehrmacht on the other side of the river was prevented, this campaign would be half the battle...

"Understood"

The adjutant obviously thought of this, and after his eyes lit up, the adjutant hurriedly walked down

The troops below were soon given orders by Yamashita Fubun, but at this time they were still a little far from the river beach, especially the place where the ships were docked, but it was only a little distance, but it was like the end of the world

Fortunately, in this world, there are still many things that can shorten the distance, although there are not many, but there are

"Do you want to take it..."

Looking at the Wehrmacht position not far away and the fiery snakes spewing out of the machine gun, a Japanese officer gritted his teeth

"If only it were that easy"

Although the Japanese army has been attacking the positions of the Wehrmacht all the time, the further they go, the stronger the Wehrmacht's defenses have become, and now at this last step, although it is clear that there is only one line of defense left to capture the river beach, but they just can't take it

In particular, the Type 37 machine gun equipped by the Wehrmacht is extremely high, even reaching 1500 rounds per minute, although because of the relationship between the high sè, the machine gunner can not fire continuously for a long time, but the high sè still brought great casualties to the Japanese army, just like the tearing ......machine equipped by the German army.

Of course, the high sè also makes the barrel easy to turn red, but the Type 19 machine gun has been designed with this in mind, so the design deliberately emphasizes the simple change of the barrel, the original Type 19 machine gun If you want to change the barrel, it only takes a short 7 seconds, and if you are familiar, it only takes 3 seconds

As for the improved Type 37 machine gun, it is a simplified change of the barrel, when the barrel needs to be changed, even a new hand can change the barrel in 3 seconds...

As a result, although the barrel of the machine gun needed to be changed soon after it was put into use, the machine gun on the position continued to fire

So far, the Japanese who launched the attack on the position have paid at least 1,000 casualties, and this casualty number continues to expand as the offensive becomes more and more intense

――――――――――――――――――――

It's hard to take a defensive line, at least not in a short period of time, but if it's just a boat on the beach...

"Order the soldiers below to aim their mortars at the river beach and sink all the boats on the river beach"

"Understood"

Although it is impossible to capture the river beach in a short time, it is another matter if you just sink the ships on the river beach, of course, this also has a disadvantage, that is, the accuracy of the mortar is not very high, and you can't see the river beach, so whether you can hit it depends on luck

On the other hand, the Japanese army was mainly armed with light mortars such as grenadiers

The caliber of the Japanese grenadier is 50 mm, there are two models, the main difference is the length of the throwing sè barrel, the Japanese army is mainly equipped with the grenadier of 254 mm, each Japanese infantry squad is equivalent to a Chinese platoon, the number of people between 50 and 70 people is equipped with a machine gun group with two tǐng light machine guns, a grenadier group with two grenadier canisters and two rifle squads, a squad in the later stage, a grenadier canister, a tǐng light machine gun

The Japanese army mainly used Taisho 10-year grenadiers and grenadiers in World War II

The Taisho 10-year grenadier has a caliber of 50 mm and a very light weight of only 26 kilograms, with a range of 175 meters, and it is designed mainly for the purpose of the Japanese military, hoping to make up for the firepower gap between medium mortars and individual grenades, and at the same time to greatly enhance the firepower of the infantry detachment, which is equivalent to the squadron, and the Taisho 10-year grenadier was in service with the Japanese army for 25 years, until the defeat of the Japanese army in World War II

However, the Taisho 10-style style itself was not very good, its sè range was too short to be used by soldiers at a relatively safe distance, and its jīng degree was not good, which made it quickly replaced by the later grenadier

The grenadier is an improved version of the Taisho decade, the caliber is also 50 mm, the total length of the gun is 413 mm, the length of the barrel is 260 mm, the weight of the whole gun is 27 kg, the weight of the gun barrel is 16 kg, the length of the barrel foot is 170 mm, the weight of the barrel plate is 11 kg, the height of the foot plate is 60 mm, the width of the foot plate is 67 mm, the maximum range is 700 meters, and the effective range is 500 meters

In addition, the bullet of the grenadier is about 800 grams, and the killing radius is about 5 meters, and the Japanese grenadier can also send the sè grenade in addition to the special grenade, but at this time, it is necessary to install the grenade and because the grenade is not good to use as a shell, the sè range at this time is about 200 meters

sè cheng, the Taisho ten-year sè Cheng equipped by the Japanese army is definitely not enough, although it is close to the end of the world, but after all, there is still a bit of a distance, at least two hundred meters of distance is definitely not enough

But after all, there are still grenadiers, and generally speaking, the sè of the grenadier is about 30 rounds per minute, which is quite high, after all, the rifle sè not long ago was not much for a minute

The key is lethality, although the lethality of a radius of 5 meters is not small, but it is for people, for ships, even if it is a wooden ship, if the grenadier cannot directly hit the ship, it will not be able to cause fatal damage to the ship

Therefore, at this time, only mortars can be used

After all, compared to the grenadier canister, the mortar is much more powerful in terms of both sè and power...,

――――――――――――――――――――

"Damn, they're blowing up the ship"

When the enemy's firepower is concentrated in one place, anyone who is not particularly sluggish can basically reflect what the enemy is thinking, so when a large number of mortar shells fall on the position of the docked ship on the river beach, no matter how sluggish they are, they will understand what they want to do

And after understanding it, the commander on the beach did not know what to do

Keeping the ship hidden? The whole river beach is so big, how can it be hidden?

But leave it alone? If the boat is gone, even if they hold out, will they still be able to make the whole army swim across the river? And even if reinforcements come up from the other side, it is impossible to transport all of them back with so many people

Fortunately, the Japanese army is equipped with the most grenadiers, and the number of mortars is not very large, and the mortars on the sè cannot be compared with the grenadiers, plus the Japanese army is actually blind, so the hit rate is not high, otherwise the commander is afraid that he will hang himself

On the other hand, the Japanese army and aviation in the sky gradually could not hold on

That's right, the Japanese Army's Type 4 fighter can indeed compete with the ZD20 in terms of xìng ability, after all, the Type 4 is also known as the best fighter of the Japanese army in World War II

However, the number of Type 4 is too small, and the remaining Type 3 did not let them fight because they did not want a one-sided massacre on the battlefield, so although the pilots of Type 4 fought hard, and one by one they were not afraid of death and fought with the ZD20 of the National Defense Air Force, and interfered with the bombing of F7 while fighting, but after a long time, gradually the Japanese army aviation could not hold on

After all, in any case, when the ability of the aircraft is about the same as that of the pilot, the only thing left is the quantity...

And it is clear that the Japanese army was at a disadvantage in the number of aircraft ...

"Aren't you okay yet???"

In the rear air base, the commander on the control tower shouted to the deputy commander on the radio after listening to the shouts of the pilots on the radio

"I don't know about this..."The deputy commander shook his head, "There is no news from General Yamashita yet, I believe it is not yet well..."

"Damn..."

Hearing the deputy commander say this, the commander gritted his teeth

"If you don't hurry, the troops will not be able to hold out"

"Then give General Yamashita a phone call and explain the situation here..."

The deputy commander also knows very well why the commander is in such a hurry, after all, there are fewer and fewer Japanese fighters fighting in the sky at the moment, you know, they are all the most sharp four-type fighters of the Japanese Air Force, but because of the importance of the Indian battlefield, this time at least half of the number of fighters produced was allocated to India, if all these fighters were lost in World War I, even if the commander did not cut his stomach, he would probably be distressed to death

What's more, the army is still not advancing an inch, although their army aviation is also a member of the army, but to be honest, they don't want to sacrifice the pilot's life or the aircraft they are equipped with in vain, you must know that both the plane and the pilot are extremely precious to Japan

Therefore, it didn't take long for the commander and deputy commander to call Yamashita Fumi

When he received a call from Lu Hang, Yamashita Fengwen was also a little angry

After all, in his plan, whether or not he can cut off the rear road of the Wehrmacht is the most important link, and the other link is whether the army fighters in the sky can hold out until the army cuts off the rear road of the Wehrmacht

Now that the army is still a little closer, the army aviation can no longer hold on, how can it not make Yamashita Fengwen anxious

Of course, the important thing is that the Wehrmacht reinforcements are coming in a steady stream on the river, although many of them have been repulsed due to the serious illness on the river beach, but if they continue like this, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not end up with the encircled Wehrmacht...,

"Tell the people of Lu Airlines and let them keep going......... Even if the whole army dies in battle, it will not hesitate."

By now, Yamashita Fengwen is already gambling, betting that he can succeed this time

If it can succeed, then the formation of two divisions of the Wehrmacht ―――――― the regular divisions of the Wehrmacht, which have infantry, cavalry and artillery, of course, is now in the Second World War period, so the cavalry has been canceled, at least most of the areas have been canceled, only a small part of the area, because of the special local environment, there are still cavalry, in fact, this is not unusual, in some areas there are cavalry riding yaks

Since the cavalry is already behind the times, in the Wehrmacht, except for some special areas where there are cavalry, the rest are already motorized and mechanized units

And the main components of these units are infantry and artillery

Infantry aside, artillery is quite a few in a division

However, in this river crossing operation, the artillery could not be transported across the river, after all, crossing the river itself is already a very difficult thing, it is too difficult to transport the weight of the artillery in tons to cross the river, plus the artillery is not very important in the initial beach rush operation, after all, the distance between each other is not very far, and it is enough to use mortars directly, so the artillery did not follow the river crossing together

That is to say, when crossing the river, the artillery, which occupies a considerable part of the number, did not actually cross the river with them, so the more than 10,000 people currently defending on the other side of the river are actually composed of two infantry regiments of regular divisions, and among them there are only weapons such as machine guns and mortars...

――――――――――――――――――――

Although the current war situation is not very obvious, under the pressure of the huge air force of the National Defense Air Force, Yamashita has been in a situation of passive beating, this situation he has never encountered in the Indochina Peninsula, but now he is encountering it every day

Even in normal times, Yamashita needed to live in a well-camouflaged command post, because even at night, Wehrmacht planes would fly over his head and drop a few bombs down

At a time when the air force had begun to show its might, Yamashita was well aware that in such a passive situation, he might not be able to hold the Hakata River, and even Calcutta, the capital of the Provisional Government of Free India

However, the Tojo Cabinet that currently presides over Tojo Masa, especially the leader of the Tojo Cabinet, Tojo Hideki, is not a faction with Yamashita Fumi, and there are certain contradictions with him, and when Yamashita Fumimi took the Indochina Peninsula, it was for this reason that Yamashita Fumifumi was not transferred back to the Japanese mainland

Therefore, Yamashita Fengwen must have a good result to keep his status, honor, and life...

And this achievement is the formation of the elimination of the Wehrmacht troops

In the Indochina Peninsula, in Taiwan, and in India, the Japanese army has fought many battles with the Wehrmacht, and in these operations, the Japanese army has made the Wehrmacht pay 100,000 calculated casualties, but the elimination of the Wehrmacht in a structured manner has never been such a record, but the Japanese army has been wiped out many wings and even divisions―――――― but fortunately, they burned the military flag very quickly, so no military flag fell into the hands of the Wehrmacht

Therefore, if Yamashita Fumimi can eliminate the main force of the two divisions, then even if he loses the Hakata River, I believe there will be no major problems...

"Now, it's up to us to see if we can take it down before the collapse of the Army Airlines..."

Standing there, Yamashita Bongbun prayed silently

It was at this time that the adjutant just now suddenly rushed in with a happy face

"Your Excellency, there is news from the front-line troops that they have cut off the retreat of the Wehrmacht"

"What? Great."

Yamashita Bongbun, who was praying there, was taken aback at first, and then overjoyed

"Now, it's finally a success"

In order to take the river beach and cut off the retreat of the Wehrmacht, the Japanese army paid a great price, but in any case, they had to take it, and everything would be no problem... To be continued)
