Chapter 576: Paratroopers Descend from the Sky
In the darkness, the sky around the city of Kanbaru was covered with dense scattered flowers.
The buzz of an airplane that seemed to burst its eardrums, the sudden sound of air defense sirens, and the dense beams of searchlights gathered in the sky. However, contrary to everyone's expectations, when the dense sound of airplanes was heard, everyone ran to the bomb shelter.
But after half a bang, no explosions were heard, and the hum of the plane's hovering was still there. When someone plucked up the courage to take a look, he saw the "snowflakes" falling from the sky through the searchlight.
The anti-aircraft machine-gun positions in the city began to sound, and no orders were needed and no instructions were needed. The Japanese air defense units inside the city of Kanbaru were all pouring bullets into the sky outside the city at the same time. But when they shot, they found that the paratroopers who seemed to be very close were actually far away from them. All outside their range.
The matter was not over, there was an even more desperate howling sound in the sky, and in the high altitude in the darkness, dense firelight suddenly appeared, and one rocket after another dragged a long tail flame, smashing into the Japanese defensive positions on the ground.
Under the illumination of searchlights, the Chinese fighters that dived down appeared in the eyes of the ground air defense forces. Under the speed of a flash of dive, it is always accompanied by a flash of sparks. A huge fleet of aircraft obscured the sky, whether it was the Allied airfield outside the city or the anti-aircraft fire points inside the city. Soon it fell into a sea of fire, dense explosions, lighting up the night.
The entire Ganbaru was already in chaos at this time, whether it was the headquarters of the Japanese army or the stations of various countries, the dense sound of telegrams announced the panic and busyness at this time.
It is already obvious that a large number of Chinese paratroopers have successfully parachuted. And it has formed a posture of encirclement of Ganbaru. The sky was full of Chinese fighters, ruthlessly launching destructive strikes against military installations on the ground. The two large airports that have become have lost contact with the city.
No one, whether it was Matsui Ishone or the military commanders of the Central Powers, would have imagined that China's offensive on Sumatra would come so unexpectedly. No one thought that China would avoid the coastline where heavy troops were gathered and choose to blossom in the center.
Paratroopers were sent directly to attack the central positions of Sumatra, coming straight to their command headquarters. The target was the officers who commanded more than a million allied forces on the island of Sumatra, gathered in the city of Gambarau. It just provides China with the clearest point of attack.
At this time, it was in the headquarters of the Japanese army in the city of Kanbaru. Matsui Ishone's brows were already deeply twisted together, and there was one report after another in his ears. All of them were news that gave him a headache, but now he only had a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
He is confident that in the face of China's large-scale landing operations, there are also many sets of plans to deal with China's powerful firepower. Fierce offensive. But there is no effective solution. to deal with a sudden Chinese paratrooper attack.
"General. The Harukawa Wing sent a telegram asking for help, and half an hour earlier, they had just encountered the Chinese paratroopers. With more than half of the dead and wounded, the Qingchuan United asked for tactics until, otherwise it would not take half an hour, and the Chinese army would attack outside the city of Kanbaru. ”
"General, the air defense brigade in the city has called, at present, the air defense brigade in Ganbaru City has been completely lost, and the brigade commander was also killed by Chinese fighters and artillery. At present, there is no anti-aircraft fire in the city of Kanbaru. ”
"General, the Whale Field Brigade outside the city has sent a farewell message, and the Whale Field Brigade stationed at the field airfield has all been shattered, and the Chinese paratroop troops have occupied the Ganbaru Field Airfield."
"General, the French city defense division is calling, the French garrison is currently under fierce attack by the Chinese army, and the French defense line is already rapidly retreating."
…………
For half an hour, Matsui Ishine has been in torment. There were not many defensive troops around Ganbaru, and if it weren't for the presence of many troops from the Allied countries, Ganbaru would not even be able to gather 50,000 troops at this time.
I never thought that at this time, China would have ground troops to threaten the security of Ganbaru. The army, which was thought to be a reserve, turned out to be the main force fighting the Chinese army at this time.
With the continuous arrival of news, neither the Japanese troops nor the armies of other countries were good news.
If the long-awaited war doesn't come, will you die here? Matsui Ishone only had an endless sense of exhaustion at this time. Although he himself has been trying his best to understand China's tactics and tactics, whenever he feels that he has some understanding of the tactics of the Chinese army, China has already begun to have new tactics and tactics.
"Convey my order, all the troops around Ganbaru, do not need orders, and resolutely annihilate the Chinese army whenever they see it. The 7th Division in the city was ordered to immediately go to Yashan outside the city to build a defensive position. Hold off the Chinese attack. "Matsui Ishone has no other options.
At this moment, it was not only Matsui Ishone who was suffering, but all the military commanders of other countries had already returned to the location of their troops. They all faced the same problem, the darkness was full of artillery fire from the Chinese offensive.
The air force never stopped a large number of artillery shells, tracer bullets flying under the black sky, dense bullets were denser than rain, and the Chinese paratrooper fighting vehicles were constantly breaking through.
I can't describe how they feel at this time, I thought that they had a lot of combat experience and could play their value here. In the past, they had laughed at Japan and the Soviet Union a lot, but now they understand how powerful their opponents are.
In Europe, many people fought against Germany, learned the firepower of German armored divisions, and also witnessed the offensive of German paratroopers. But they had never seen such a unit as the Chinese army. The dense firepower and accurate shooting made them dare not show their heads at all, even if it was dark now.
In the headquarters of the French army in Sumatra, Castro was already furious, and at this time he no longer had the romance of the French, nor did he have a neatly organized appearance at all times.
The gunfire outside did not stop for a moment, and from time to time artillery fire landed overhead, and the sound of rumbling explosions sounded. So that the French romantic, has lost all the grace of the past. Anxious, full of boundless anger.
"Colonel, we are almost unable to resist, the Chinese attack is too fierce. We had just sent out a tank battalion, and it was immediately destroyed by the Chinese army, and it did not work at all. Their anti-tank artillery is just too powerful. A lieutenant colonel crawled up to Castro's side, covered in the marks of gunsmoke, and a large area of his face was covered in blood, mixed with a look of horror. It looks very embarrassing.
"Bastard. What do you guys eat? One reuniting division can't stop hundreds of people, and I really should send you all to court-martial. Castro was already on the verge of losing his mind from the bad news, and kept roaring: "I don't care what the reason, I'll just tell you." It's all dead. Block it for me, too. Who dares to take a step back. I killed him right away. ”
Looking at the lieutenant colonel who left in a hurry, Castro only had boundless anger.
At this moment, in the dark sky. As the anti-aircraft fire points in the city of Kanbaru were completely pulled out, two electronic warfare planes full of antennas began to hover over the battlefield. Bloated and bulky fuselage, slow flight speed. This is China's first generation of electronic warfare aircraft, the Prowler.
Invisible electromagnetic radiation radiated from the two prowlers, and all of the Allied electronic instruments were instantly out of order. All the radio stations were paralyzed one after another, and the radar and all wireless communication devices were turned into ornaments.
The various commands also cut off contact with each other at the first time, and when they planned to use a landline to contact, they also found that the phone gradually could not be reached.
Because when the paratroopers were fighting hotly outside, the special reconnaissance platoon of the marines in the city was not idle, and gradually cut off the military telephone lines in the city.
Dozens of kilometers outside the city of Ganbalu, in a simple temporary headquarters, Xu Shiyou calmly issued orders in the temporary headquarters.
"Order all units to immediately and quickly maneuver and attack, and the whole army to attack the city-state of Kanbaru as quickly as possible. The engineer battalion immediately began work on the repair of the airfield, and the transport aircraft unit in Borneo was already approaching, and within half an hour it was necessary to sort out the runways that could be used for the transport planes to land. ”
"Ask about the arrival time of the follow-up army aviation unit, and now it has been five minutes since the meeting time."
As an old man in the military during the southwest period, Xu Shiyou has dealt with paratroopers all his life. In the paratrooper unit, he was one of the most qualified military commanders other than Luo Rong. This time, in the combat mission led by the Southeast Asian Theater, Xu Shiyou once again went deep behind enemy lines. Perform long-range offensive missions. It was the second time in his decades-long military career that he had carried out such a mission.
The first time was the first combat mission of the paratroopers, and it was also the first time that the Southwest People's Army fought against the little devils. Xu Shiyou, who was just a regiment commander at the beginning, landed in Jinan and fought with the little devil.
This time, a whole two divisions of paratroopers, parachuted into Sumatra, and went straight to the command center of the Allied forces. The biggest difference between the two is that it was a combat mission far out of the country, which was of great significance to the paratroopers.
"The engineer battalion called, the damage to the airport is not very large, and it can be simply repaired in half an hour."
"The army aviation unit called, an hour ago, they had broken through the Japanese coastal blockade and were rushing here. It is expected that in five minutes, you will be able to reach the outside of Kanbaru City. ”
This time, it was not the paratroopers and the air force that played the role, but also the Army Aviation units stationed in Borneo and Singapore. Provide low-altitude fire support to paratrooper units. Of course, the army aviation units naturally brought their own marine units.
This is a battle of truly high-tech weaponry. At this moment, the real offensive is just about to begin.
"Little devil, Lao Tzu greets your ancestors! Bastard, let's squeeze into this little space. "On the outskirts of Gambarou City, the soldiers cursed from the wheeled paratrooper vehicles that searched for the advance. The whole class was concerned, and they followed to greet the French family and the women in front of them.
In fact, it was not these allies who provoked them and made them angry, it was this wheeled paratrooper fighting vehicle. This is a new thing, fast, firepower, although the protection ability is not very good, but it can also resist the direct hit of rifle bullets and the fragments produced by the explosion of grenades and rockets, with it, it is equivalent to wearing several layers of body armor.
But it's really too low and too short, and it's a kind of torture to let these big northern men stay inside! There's no way not to be low and short. Otherwise, the transport plane will not be easy to load. In view of this, the torture is justified. It is reasonable for the tall man to scold the enemy in front of him because of his grievances, and the shorter one of them, Xiao Guangxi, is still whistling, and the other fighters have itchy teeth. Why didn't you suddenly find out that being shorter and smaller had so many benefits until you were stuffed into the car?
Of course, the main thing is that they can't help it. This wheeled paratrooper fighting vehicle is not their equipment at all. It's just that parachuting at night has nothing to do with a lot of equipment. They found this paratrooper tank nearby, and it was already very good. Although they should have found a tracked paratrooper fighting vehicle, who told them to find only this one. As for the tracked paratrooper fighting vehicle, if only it could be found. Nor will they suffer like this.
At this time. Their task was to act as the vanguard of the whole company, search for reconnaissance, and look for traces of the Allies. As long as they did not meet with resolute resistance, they continued to advance until they touched the real line of defense of the Allies. Being a scout is a very efficient job. Of course, we can't go on foot like we used to. So got into this paratrooper tank. The paratrooper chariot sped forward amid the sound of curses. From time to time, large corpses appeared in the front, and those were all good things done by the vanguard.
Due to the parachute drop, the units were scattered. There is only one place in the order to assemble. It's in the city of Kanbaru. The paratroopers who were closer to Gambarou served as the vanguard attacking force.
At the beginning of the firefight, everyone was red-eyed, and when they saw the Allied forces, whether they were old or young, men or women, beautiful or ugly, and the airborne heavy machine guns and even machine guns were swept around their heads and faces, until there was no living creature to be seen on the ground. Little Japan mobilized tens of thousands of young men to prepare to build a defensive line, and these young men with only a sapper shovel in their hands became the best targets, and a large number of paratroopers slaughtered all the way, bleeding rivers everywhere they went, and the corpses were full of bones, and they were numb to see. Xiao Guangxi even whistled a pervert at a pile of beaten corpses, and said with a smile: "Until today, I didn't find out that the Indonesian monkey is so handsome!" ”
Zhao Gang rolled his eyes, a bunch of miserable corpses were actually handsome in his eyes, this kid's aesthetic was really special. The squad leader glanced outside through the observation hole and said: "The Indonesian monkeys are really going to be beaten miserably this time, and after this battle, I am afraid that there are widows all over Indonesia, and no family is complete." ”
The squad deputy said: "They deserve it!" So I feel cheap for them! To deal with this white-eyed wolf, we should learn from the locust army, kill them so that they don't see people within a radius of hundreds of kilometers and only hear ghosts crying, only in this way can they always remember this lesson, even if a hundred years have passed, they are still scared to pee their pants! ”
Xiao Guangxi shouted: "The deputy class is really right!" There's really no need to be polite to them, no matter what tricks he has, as long as he can play with the dead monkey, it's a good move, a trick, just use it! It is recommended to follow the example of the locust army and play with the three-light policy, the effect must be very good! ”
The squad leader glared at them: "Just the two of you, I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" ”
"Boom !!"
While chatting, the chariot suddenly shook heavily, and a wave of heat with the smell of steel rushed over, and the chariot almost overturned and stopped. Zhao Gang had a bad feeling and asked loudly: "Driver, what's going on?" ”
The driver looked very depressed: "His grandmother's, ran to the anti-tank mine!" Everyone hurry up and get out of the car, it's not sure that there are devils nearby, it's not safe to stay in the car, one rocket is enough to send the whole vehicle to the sky-" Before the words were finished, a rocket dragged the tail flame from the left side of the chariot, and the pores on the body instantly shrank to the limit, and the hairs stood on end, no longer hesitated, opened the back door and rushed out. As soon as he jumped out of the car, a grenade hit the vicinity, and the debris flew sideways and the earth was floating up. Just a hundred meters away in the bamboo forest, more than a dozen little devils wearing messy military uniforms and carrying rifles rushed out screaming.
"Damn, someone ambushed!"
Bullets slashed around him, and rockets were fired one after another, so that Zhao Gang and the others couldn't raise their heads.
The paralyzed chariot suddenly let out a roar, the twin 30 mm cannon spewed out a rifle more than a meter long, the shell was as dense as a torrential rain, and the two fire snakes crossed and rolled towards the little devils, and the little devils who howled and rushed over were licked by the blazing tongue of fire, and only had time to let out a half-scream before turning into a cloud of blood mist, after all, 30 mm caliber anti-personnel grenades are not a joke. The little devil who was not hit lay on the ground and shot at the chariot violently, causing sparks to fly all over the chariot.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Gang rolled into a depression. Effectively avoided the cross fire of the little devil, and pulled the assault rifle behind him, and used the dense firepower to return the color, the fire snake slashed, and the bamboo fell in pieces, and the devil's offensive rhythm inevitably appeared chaotic.
The squad leader fired while shouting at the driver, who was still in the tank and sweeping the enemy with his cannon: "Get down! You hurry down and get out of there! ”
The driver shouted: "As soon as the fire stops on my side, the devils will rush up immediately, and none of them will be able to run away at that time!" Leave, leave me alone! ”
Zhao Gang struggled to pull out two grenades. Say, "You fucking fart!" Come together. Of course, we have to go back together, how can I leave you alone! You hurry up and get out of here, and if you don't come down again, believe it or not, I bombarded you with a grenade? ”
The driver said, "My leg is broken and I can't walk!" ”
At this time, three little devils jumped up and opened fire on him. He reacts extremely quickly. The machine gun turned and the three guys were beaten into meat sauce. A rocket hit the tank with unerring accuracy. Easily piercing through the coffin-thin body, it burrowed into the chariot and exploded, blazing dark red flames bursting out of every tiny crevice with a large number of fragments. The entire vehicle instantly turned into a ball of fire, and the driver completely disappeared in a flash of fire.
Everyone was red-eyed, and they fired wildly at every enemy who was exposed to their field of vision, and the little devils who rushed over with bayonets fell one after another. The other party is not a vegetarian, and after losing nearly dozens of people, he probably felt that it was difficult to deal with, and finally got serious, and took the promenade line to cover alternately and use the terrain to advance step by step, and the military action was extremely skillful.
This time we're in big trouble! Soon, there were casualties in the squad: the signal soldier carrying the radio on his back fell, and it was the radio on his body that killed him, and a bullet fired by a sniper pierced his heart.
Xiao Guangxi immediately used color and accurate point shots to blow up the heads of three little devils in a row. At this time, the Allied forces had approached less than seventy meters, and the grenades flew over one by one, blowing up large swaths of choking dust around them, and almost everyone was scratched by shrapnel, and they simply did not have the ability to repel them, or even have no way to retreat!
The squad leader was also injured, a grenade exploded next to him, shrapnel cut a foot-long wound in his left leg, revealing Bai Sensen's shins, his face was distorted in pain, he forced himself to sweep a magazine with an assault rifle, and shouted: "They must be repulsed!" Let them go ten meters ahead and they'll be all done! ”
The deputy said: "There are too many of them, they can't stop it!" ”
The squad leader said, "Then you have to fight!" ”
Zhao Gang saw the bazooka in the hand of a devil pointed at the squad leader, raised his automatic rifle and fired a triple shot at him, at least two bullets pierced his left chest.
These little devils suddenly turned around and ran away like ghosts, making Zhao Gang incomprehensible, and said to himself: "It seems that you are not so brave, three bullets can scare off dozens of troops?" It's incredible! ”
At this time, Xiao Guangxi shouted: "Tank!" of tanks! Our tanks are coming! Looking in the direction he pointed, it wasn't, more than a dozen light tanks roared and rushed over, and the parallel machine guns swept the large-caliber machine gun bullets with great lethality towards the back of the little devil like a wind, and the little devil who was running happily seemed to be sawed by a huge chainsaw, and one by one the waist was broken in two, and died an extremely tragic death.
The smarter ones hurriedly lay down, but when they saw what kind of monster was coming, they all showed a look of despair: What about lying down? With the weapons in their hands, they can't help the tank at all, and they can only be crushed into the mud lying there!
Everyone let out a bad breath and shouted at those cute tanks: "Crush them!" Crush them to death! "It doesn't matter if the armor can hear it.
Of course, it is impossible for the armored soldiers to hear the sound, in fact, they can't even hear it, because a helicopter flew overhead, and the propeller stirred the air currents and swirled, and the noise was loud. The helicopter landed twenty meters away, and a delicate-looking female soldier poked her head out of it and shouted, "What are you still stunned about?" Hurry up and get on the plane! Do you want to taste what it's like to be run over by a tank? ”
"Damn, when did the army aviation force get so fast, it's only been half an hour." Zhao Gang looked at the helicopter that was gradually flying in the sky and couldn't help muttering.
After saying that, he saw the familiar face on the helicopter. Familiar voices, faces that often appear in sleep, all this is in a dream. The rumbling explosions around made Zhao Gang understand that this was not a dream. It's not in a dream, how can she appear.
Zhao Gang stupidly followed everyone to the plane. After everyone, including the body of the signal soldier, was on the plane, the helicopter took off. A long barrage of bullets came at it, and it made a beautiful maneuver to shake off the deadly anti-aircraft fire, and fired an improvised guided aerial rocket, which was instantly dismantled by the old self-propelled anti-aircraft machine gun that was raining bullets.
Until now, Zhao just found out that I don't know where so many tanks came out, there are little devils' Douding fighting vehicles, and there are also light tanks for paratroopers. Hundreds of tanks came across unexpectedly, and soon they were in one piece.
I don't know if it was the devil's trick to lure the enemy or if he was ambushed by the little devil. Anyway, behind the horizon there are constantly tanks rushing out. Roll up the smoke and dust in the sky, like a flag cloud on the top of a snow-capped mountain! A powerful tank gun quickly turned, quickly locked onto the opponent under the command of the vehicle-mounted radar, and spat out thunderous fireballs. Tanks and armoured vehicles exploded and caught fire. Burn violently.
The people who took off in the helicopter were stunned. It took the squad leader a long time to react and shouted, "This is impossible! Even the devils didn't have armored troops of this scale before! Where did these sons of bitches tanks come from? ”
Xiao Guangxi said: "Class Elder Boss, aren't you asking knowingly!" ”
The squad leader was inexplicable: "Me? Ask while knowing the answer? ”
Xiao Guangxi said: "Didn't you say that these tanks were raised by a son of a bitch." I know that they are raised by a son of a bitch, but I don't knowingly ask what it is? ”
The squad leader was completely speechless.
Zhao Gang was in no mood to pay attention to the squad leader, so he looked at the beautiful woman on the helicopter in a daze, the red cross on the white military uniform was very obvious in the dark, until her face was red before she reacted, and asked stupidly: "Why are you here?" ”
While saying this, Zhao Gang couldn't help but resonate with the experience of the two of them playing from childhood to adulthood. The world is impermanent, and he never thought that he would see the people he thinks about day and night in the life and death of the battlefield.
"Can I not come? What, was it a surprise to see me? The latter took out the medicine kit and began to help them clean their wounds, and in his busyness, his pointed jaw rushed at the slaughtered armored troops below: "You are lucky, if you arrive thirty seconds later, you will only have to be crushed into meat sauce." ”
"It was a surprise, I never thought you would be here." Zhao Gang's eyes never left her.
"I was originally a nurse, and this time I came to the battlefield with the troops, just to treat the injured soldiers as soon as possible."
"But it's dangerous, you shouldn't be here."
Xiao Guangxi seemed to hear something at this time, stabbed Zhao Gang beside him, and said with a smile: "There is a situation!" Lao Zhao, confess leniently and resist strictly, what is the relationship with this beautiful angel in white, explain it obediently! ”
Zhao Gang smirked and was about to speak, when the helicopter pilot helped Zhao Gang and said, "Fuck you!" ”
Then the helicopter spun around urgently, and Zhao Gang and the female soldier were caught off guard and rolled into a ball. Zhao Gang covered his bloodied forehead and scolded: "What the hell are you doing!" ”
The pilot said: "There are anti-aircraft machine guns shooting at us, I say!" It's the Yankees' anti-aircraft armored vehicles. In the distance, lightning flashed, and the early warning equipment in the engine room howled, and through the porthole, at least two tongues of fire could be seen outflanking the helicopter. On the ground, behind the tank units of the little devils, several anti-aircraft armored vehicles were exposed.
The pilot roared: "Want Lao Tzu's life? Then you have to gamble your life first! In the midst of the swearing, he maneuvered the helicopter to make an unstandard but extremely fast barrel-like rotation, avoiding the strangled anti-aircraft machine gun bullets.
The frenzied pilot had just piloted the helicopter out of danger, and immediately fired several rockets in succession, and on the ground, two anti-aircraft armored vehicles immediately changed from hunters to prey, one of them dodged a little slower, and the two rocket launchers plunged into the body like chopsticks poking tofu, and exploded it into an expensive and single-style fireball with a bang.
The other one was also a fortune teller, and it was able to avoid the kiss of death from the rocket artillery, but because it was too fast, it was already very far ahead. A paratrooper light tank with the barrel raised is a cannon, and although the caliber is not large, the power of the armor-piercing shell is not weak at all.
The shell turned into a fiery snake and flashed past, much faster than a rocket launcher, and the poor anti-aircraft armored vehicle did not even have a chance to dodge, but was hit squarely, turning into burning fragments flying all over the sky.
At this time. On the battlefield below, the collision between tanks has just begun.
Jiro Ono was a private in the Japanese Seventh Division, only six months into the army. According to the glorious tradition of bullying the weak and the weak of the little devils, a private's life in the army is not easy, and he does hard work such as scrubbing the body, loading bombs, and refueling, and often gets scraped by the ears of veterans.
But it's an honor to serve in such a historic unit. You must know that the Seventh Division participated in the glorious First Sino-Japanese War -- although it was only a baggage unit at that time, but later Taiwan was in full swing and the strength of the little devils was strained, and the Seventh Division was reorganized into a first-class division and regiment. Thrown into the Taiwan battlefield to suppress the resistance of the Taiwanese. The performance is quite good, and since then, good luck has continued, rising step by step, and becoming a strong team of little devils.
After the end of World War I. Japan has even increased its investment in the military. And the 7th Division was also strengthened. Transformed into an armored unit. Initially deployed in cold Hokkaido, it could support Sakhalin at any time to defend itself against an attack by the fierce Soviets. In those most arrogant days, the 7th Division became a very important armored force, although the entire 7th Division only had a few dozen tanks, which was not as good as a regiment of the Soviet army.
With the outbreak of World War II, little Japan's resources were enriched, and the Seventh Division ushered in a golden age, and the best equipment and best officers were given priority to them, making the Seventh Division the first strong army of little devils. It is a lucky thing for someone like Jiro Ono who has no higher education to be able to enter such a unit and become a member of it.
Little Japan is one of the most insecure countries, and its narrow island country, lack of resources, and frequent earthquakes and tsunamis have made the country full of a sense of distress from top to bottom, desperately expanding in search of security, and if it is really unable to expand, it is okay to seek the wings of a great power, and it has been like this for thousands of years.
Now, the fate of the little devil has reached a very critical point, and in the battle of Southeast Asia, the little devil's Southeast Asian dispatch army was completely wiped out and completely kicked out of Southeast Asia. The country has become a ruin under the attack of China's powerful strategic air force.
Under the strong military pressure of China, the little devil had a feeling of being stripped of his clothes and shuddered.
The hot and humid climate of the 7th Division, which had been in Indonesia for some time, made the officers and men of the 7th Division, who were accustomed to staying in the cold of Hokkaido, very uncomfortable, and many soldiers contracted malaria and vomited and vomited. It stands to reason that the 7th Division had better rest for a while, but there was no time, the Chinese army's offensive speed was too fast.
When the Chinese army appeared around Ganbaru, the 7th Division could only take the initiative to attack, otherwise it would have to be blocked in the city and beaten hard. Although the entire division and regiment had never fought against the Chinese army, the Chinese army was already prestigious. At the time of departure, the Japanese soldiers in each tank were in a very heavy mood.
It was in this atmosphere that the entire division set out. Jiro Ono's wing spread out as a striker and advanced to the cliffs outside the castle. With its strong mobility ability, the wing rushed to Yashan first, and surprisingly, this strategically located hill has not been attacked so far, and the Chinese army probably ignored it, right?
Stupid Shina people. The wing commander studied the terrain and thought that the vegetation in this area was dense and could be effectively concealed, so he decided to fight an ambush here, and the whole wing arranged in the fields and bamboo forests, like a flying scissors, waiting for the Chinese army to come to the scissors blade. The squadron that Ono Jiro was in was still at the top, and I really didn't know where this squadron offended the wing leader, and every time it was pushed to the forefront of the battlefield. The squadron leader was full of grumbling and directed the squadron to build positions and camouflage the tanks.
While they were busy, the communications soldier brought bad news: "Ikeda's brigade crashed into the Chinese army at the Mashi Bridge!" "The squadron leader was so angry that he almost threw off the telescope, now it's okay, the ambush circle has not been completed, so he exchanged fire with the Chinese army, and ambushed a fart, let's hide here and feed the mosquitoes! The mood of the entire squadron suddenly became extremely bad, no one expected that a textbook armored ambush battle would turn into an encounter, and the Chinese paratroopers advanced faster than everyone expected, and this battle was afraid that it would not be smooth sailing. The squadron leader took a few breaths and ordered the construction of fortifications, after all, the situation was unknown, they were likely to have lost the initiative on the battlefield, and they might have to face the surging attack of the Chinese army at any time, so it would be better to be more prepared.
While draping the tank with a camouflage net, Ono complained to the commander: "How did the Ikeda brigade do it, it was exposed so quickly!" It's a good thing, it's made us miserable! ”
The commander patted the barrel of the Type 97 tank and was a little worried: "I heard that in the Chinese army, even the caliber of the main gun of the light tank has reached 75 mm, and the gun is ejected very fast. ”
The gunner smiled bitterly, you must know that the caliber of the main gun of the Type 97 tank is only 57 mm, and the main gun of this caliber is obviously lagging behind. He set his sights on the bamboo forest two kilometers away, where two squadrons of Type 97 tanks and one anti-tank squadron were arranged, with a large number of anti-tank rocket launchers, with them as flanks, he should be able to rest assured, right?
However, he also understands that in terms of anti-tank firepower, China is truly powerful. It is not known whether these anti-tank squadrons, although equipped with American anti-tank rocket launchers, will be able to exert their might.
The commander said thoughtfully: "Every Chinese tank is very fierce, and our current equipment is simply unable to parry. Alas, if only the Type 4 tanks had not been transferred to the front. With the performance of the Type 4 tank, there is no need to be afraid of Chinese tanks at all. But now, we have to go up. ”
From time to time, one or two cannons rang out in the distance, and it seemed that the Ikeda Brigade and the Chinese paratroopers were fighting extremely fiercely, but I don't know if they had suffered a loss. With this concern in mind, the squadron continued to lurk and pray for Ikeda's brigade. They didn't know, let alone the Ikeda Brigade, that even they wouldn't be able to return to their hometown in Japan. (To be continued......)
