Chapter 587 Central Plains 5

"Little devil, your good days are over!" The crazy machine gunner howled loudly with excitement when he saw the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun being blown away. Crazy to vent the bullet in his hand.

As soon as the Cat attack aircraft appeared, it showed a sharp ground attack capability. However, this was not the end, and the two Flowercat attack planes flew over the heads of the Japanese infantry in a panic.

After all, the Japanese had the advantage in the number of tanks, plus a large number of armored vehicles, and a few Type 95 light tanks overcame the Tomahawk and sword-like fire blockade, pouring fire on the heads of the grenadiers. After the initial losses, a large amount of fire was finally poured on the heads of the grenadiers of the North-Western Army.

"Quick, aim!" At this time, the accompanying infantry of the Japanese armored forces took advantage of this rare opportunity to be harassed by the infantry of the Northwest Army at the least, although the living environment on the battlefield was still treacherous, but for the Japanese army, they missed the current opportunity, and there were very few opportunities to get such a fire in the future.

Boom, boom! Two rockets hit the front armor of the Tomahawk in the first half of the Japanese soldier's death, and the bullets were ejected without accident. Another rocket hit the side armor of a sword assault gun, and it did not break through the defense of the sword assault gun, but the huge explosion still made the armor blow up a big hole, and even the 75MM gun on it was blown up a little crooked, although it has not completely destroyed this sword assault gun, but it also made it lose the ability to continue to attack with a 75MM gun, even if there are two machine guns on it, but for the current tank battle, it has no effect.

The propellers of the nose of the cat-like fuselage rotated rapidly, and two camouflage fuselages crossed two graceful arcs in the air.

THE 20MM CANNON MADE A CRISP IMPACT SOUND, RELATIVELY SPEAKING, THE TWO FRONT-MOUNTED MACHINE GUNS AND THE REAR-MOUNTED MACHINE GUN ON THE CAT-TYPE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH BULLETS, AND THE 770 ROUNDS OF MACHINE GUN AMMUNITION COULD NOT WITHSTAND THE SWING. HOWEVER, THE TWO 20MM CANNONS ABOVE HAVE 450 ROUNDS PER GUN. Its strong attack power, once hit the ground, the relatively high rate of fire of the cannon is simply a nightmare for the Japanese army on the ground.

Although the power of the 20MM machine gun shell is not big or small, although it is not enough to destroy the reinforced Type 97 tank, the huge impact sound can bring a lot of shock to the members of the Japanese tank crew inside.

Although it is impossible to destroy the Type 97 tank, but for the crispy Type 95 light tank, the Type 95 light armored vehicle. HUAMAO'S 20MM CANNON IS ONE OF THE MOST FEARED WEAPONS, PERHAPS THE 75MM CANNON SHELLS ARE MORE POWERFUL AND MORE DETERRENT, BUT FOR THE 95MM LIGHT TANKS AND LIGHT COMBAT VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY THICK ARMOR, EVEN THE 12.7MM LARGE-CALIBER MACHINE GUN IS ENOUGH TO THREATEN THEM, LET ALONE THESE 20MM CANNONS. In the face of these machine shells spilled overhead, the Type 95 tanks and armored vehicles had no defensive capability at all. The sound of cannonballs piercing through the armor was endless.

Several Type 95 tanks that were still in motion looked from the outside at this time, and there were two rows of fine bullet holes on them, and there were fires and screams from time to time, and after a while, black smoke came out of it.

Especially under the containment of those threatening Type 97 tanks. No matter how weak the attack power of the Type 95 tank is, after bullying to a certain distance, it is still a threat after all. And the Type 95 tank in motion, if you want to hit, for the gunner of the tank gun, it is not nine out of ten. Even Tomahawks or assault guns have a limited rate of fire, and it takes a lot of time to destroy these thin-skinned tanks.

But these protective capabilities are not strong, they are weak, and they are not weak for ordinary infantry, but they do not have the slightest power to fight back in front of the Leopard attack aircraft. The maximum speed of the Type 95 tank is also no more than 40 kilometers per hour, and it is just a joke for the flower cat with a maximum speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour.

The two cats flew by, but in the blink of an eye, there were six Type 95 tanks and armored vehicles lying on the spot, and the black smoke coming out of them was thick for a while.

Several Japanese bombers flew over and wanted to drop bombs, and after seeing the flexible and agile bodies of the two cats, they just hastily dropped their ammunition and fled in a panic. After all, the zero war did not serve in the army at this time, and the Japanese Army's relatively advanced 96 fighter improved version, although it is better than the flower cat in speed and combat performance, but it has not yet reached the unilateral suppressive advantage, and the flower cat attack aircraft has a firepower arrangement in the nose and tail, which also makes some Japanese fighters who want to bite the tail of the flower cat to attack, even if there is a speed advantage, this wishful thinking will be in vain. In short, unless it is a zero battle, the face can achieve a considerable advantage over the flower cat, and the flower cat at this time does not have too many natural enemies on the battlefield. At critical moments, it can not only conduct air and air battles, expel Japanese bombers, but also have a strong attack power against the enemy, and this kind of multi-purpose aircraft, as soon as it was born, was greatly loved by the ground forces of the Northwest Army.

In addition to the Flying Dragon and Tenglong fighters as cutting-edge combat power, the Northwest Air Force also has Westwind tactical bombers on bombers, and Kunpeng bombards them. At this time, there is a flower cat again, and if the short- and medium-range bombers that have begun to be developed are also perfected, the combat system of the Northwest Air Force can be regarded as really enriched. The abundance of aircraft means more changeable air force tactics, and the previous attack of the Northwest Air Force was relatively simple. Now, in order to cope with the more and more varied air operations of the Northwest Air Force, Japan must invest more resources and increase its investment and deployment in aviation. In contrast, the strength of the Tomahawk and Sword assault guns also made the Japanese army continue to increase its investment in armored forces.

The continuous strengthening of the firepower of the Northwest Army made the Japanese army's speed far exceed that of the Japanese army in the War of Resistance against Japan, both in terms of the consumption of guns and the loss of soldiers. Under the pressure of the Northwest Army, in a way, the Japanese army at this time was far stronger than in the history of the Anti-Japanese War. Whether it is the Air Force or the ground forces, but this strength is the result of a large investment of resources. In a sense, a considerable part of Japan's war potential has been depleted in advance.

In the heavy and dense crashing sound, the sparse anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese army finally started at this time. Bullets from large-caliber machine guns rained down on the Cat plane.

After the two Flowercat attack planes were in the air, due to the influence of the Japanese ground anti-aircraft fire, they did not dare to attack as boldly as before.

However, it did not wait long for the Japanese army's anti-aircraft fire to start, and Tang Yong, who was in charge of commanding the armored troops to command the operation, did not directly destroy the Japanese vehicle's anti-aircraft machine gun, but the impact of the huge explosion made the Japanese vehicle roll over, and the Japanese soldiers who had no time to withdraw did not have time to disassemble the anti-aircraft machine gun on it again.

The previously disturbed Hua Mao attack plane flew over like a demon, and the dense aerial bombs hit it, and when the Hua Mao threw the overturned car behind a large section, a huge explosion sounded behind it again. Two Japanese soldiers, as well as an anti-aircraft machine gun, were drowned in the flames.

"Gunners, let's attack again, be careful not to be too slow, and destroy the Japanese anti-aircraft fire as soon as you test it. Change your strategy, let's go ahead and back. After learning the lesson just now, Wang Lichuan said to his comrades on another Huamao attack plane.

"Roger!" A brief reply came from the communicator.

Under the repeated patrols of the Flower Cat attack aircraft, the Japanese Type 95 tanks and other armor 4 were like clumsy Beetles, and the aircraft guns successfully tore through the Beetle's seemingly hard, but not thick armor.

The grenadiers of the Japanese armored forces were almost completely lost under the double blow of attack aircraft and grenadiers of the Northwest Army.

Without these light tanks, the more than 10 Type 97 tanks covered by armored vehicles did not last long, and they lost the ability to contain Tang Yong's armored forces.

"Withdraw from the battlefield." Iwasaki Hakuto covered his forehead, which was still bleeding, and ordered with blood dripping in his heart.

"What about the Yabe Shou Brigade?" The driver of the same group was shocked.

"Do you want to stay and bury them all, those idiots in the aviation regiment don't know how to cover us. Without those cannon fodder of the Type 95, what should we do to compete with the Tomahawk tanks of the Northwest Army? Pullback, it's an order! Iwasaki Hakuden roared almost hysterically. His command was not wrong in this battle, and when he first came, his luck was okay. Therefore, at the expense of 9 Type 97 tanks, 4 sword assault guns and 2 Tomahawk tanks of the Northwest Army were also destroyed. At this time, the number of Type 97 tanks had been sharply reduced to the same extent as the tanks of the Northwest Army. And their originally numerically superior grenadiers, accompanied by infantry, were already suffering heavy casualties under the combined strikes of the opponent's armored forces and attack aircraft. In particular, the grenadiers, who rushed to the front and tried to provide assistance to the armored forces, were almost completely killed and wounded. At this time, it has simply lost the ability to compete with the tanks of the Northwest Army.

No matter how much you love to fight, in the face of the tank troops and grenadiers of the Northwest Army, which have gradually let go of their hands, even if they are all annihilated here, it will not be a difficult thing. As for Yabe Shou, in order to save this idiot, most of the capital in his hand has now been put on this battlefield, and Iwasaki Hakuden doesn't want to put his life into it in vain, and the responsibility for defeat is to let the confused detachment leader also bear a part.

In this battle, six tanks and assault guns of the Northwest Army were destroyed at the cost of nine Type 97 tanks, which is already a very impressive record, even if the auxiliary soldiers died almost equally, but these responsibilities can be shirked on the heads of those aviation troops. This damn Northwest Army is not only powerful in fighters, but also equipped with such a tricky ground attack aircraft. The living environment of the Empire's armored troops is even worse, and I hope that the base camp can come up with a response plan as soon as possible, otherwise, relying on the bravery of the Imperial soldiers alone, even if they can win the war in the end, there are too many samurai who sacrificed their lives for the Empire.

Comparatively speaking, the Type 97 tank, which weighed almost half as light, was faster than the sword assault gun and the Tomahawk.

Although three more were destroyed on the way back, only a few tanks escaped. It was those faster three-wheeled motorcycles, many of which were also destroyed on the spot under the pursuit of the Cat attack aircraft. Everywhere were the convulsive corpses of Japanese soldiers. The grenadiers of the Northwest Army and a large number of accompanying infantry rushed forward to clear the remaining Japanese troops, and most of them were directly replenished in the face of those who still breathed. When both the Japanese army and the Northwest Army fought, even in the end, the soldiers' will to resist was extremely resolute, and one of the reasons was that both sides rarely accepted prisoners.

At this time, it is no longer meaningful to pursue the tanks of the Japanese army, and ordinary motorized cavalry is only to send them to death. As for those fighters, they can't help the Type 97 tank. Tang Yong saw that there were only a few Type 97 tanks left, and the corners of his mouth were cold. The remaining grenadiers of the Japanese army were cleared by the accompanying infantry, clearing the obstacles on both sides, and then it was time for the Japanese infantry to be unlucky, this time losing a third of the main combat force, and had to get some money back from the Japanese army. "All battle tanks, assault guns, 11 o'clock direction, assault! The armored vehicle stopped at 5 o'clock in the southeast direction and was responsible for intercepting the Japanese troops who might break out. ”

The tanks, which were somewhat less numerous, went around in a small circle and circled to the left flank of the Japanese army. At this time, the Japanese army was already beginning to mess up, and was initially defeated by the armored troops they had high hopes for, leaving a place of steel wreckage to escape, and the Type 97 tanks could rely on a pair of steel armor, and the maximum speed of dozens of kilometers per hour to escape, but their infantry did not have this ability, and the Cat attack aircraft was not unable to catch up with those Type 97 tanks, but after throwing away the bombs, they could not help the other side with only the 20MM cannon. Even if these remaining Japanese soldiers escaped into cars and three-wheeled motorcycles, the firepower of the air pursuit was nothing more than a dead word, and they would only die faster.

In the tremor of shaking mountains, more than a dozen steel giants have rushed over quickly. The formidable cannon above had already opened fire at this point. EVEN FOR THE STANDING DIVISIONS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY, THE 75MM GUN CAN BE REGARDED AS THE MAIN ARTILLERY, AND THE REINFORCED HEAVY ARTILLERY IS ONLY A FEW AFTER ALL, AND THE JAPANESE ARMY AT THE BRIGADE LEVEL DID NOT HAVE A 75MM GUN ESTABLISHMENT DURING THE OPERATION, AND THE REGULAR BRIGADE ONLY HAD TWO 70MM INFANTRY ARTILLERY SQUADS. During the period of special operations, it will be configured, and the short-sided Shou Brigade in front of it obviously does not have, even if there is, it is only three or four at most, and at this time, the 10 fire fortresses that can be put into battle can be moved to the best place at any time to open fire, for the Japanese army at this time, it is even more terrible than the fixed 105MM heavy artillery.
