Chapter 595: Soldiers Descend on the City

It was a very good deal for the Japanese to destroy the national elite of Korea, and when Shi Yi reported the situation, Qiao Yu immediately issued special instructions and ordered the intelligence department to fully mobilize to facilitate the matter.

There has always been no good opinion of Qiao Yu of the stick, this is not only due to the prejudice of the previous life, but also because of the stick itself, there are a considerable number of Korean servants in the Japanese army, these Koreans are more ferocious and tyrannical than the real Japanese, if the Japanese should be killed, the stick for the tiger should be killed alive Nine Clans.

China's powerful government apparatus was put into operation, and soon a well-established plan emerged, and China would first use special channels to send weapons money and so on to the Korean resistance groups in the Han Dynasty, and even use the air force to airdrop everything they needed.

All the Koreans need to do now is to arm themselves as soon as possible, and then wait for the Chinese army to reach the city of Seoul, and then they will launch a full-scale insurrection and cooperate with the Chinese army to take control of the city, and after the order is given, the Korean resistance groups are overjoyed.

A peninsula, a nation is divided into two parts, all Koreans have a thorn in their hearts, for their own tragic destiny of the peninsula elite group is also constantly reflecting, sandwiched between China and Japan North Korea, as long as a war breaks out, it will be affected, the North Koreans have no way to control their own destiny, nothing is more painful for them.

Looking back on history, you will find that the history of Korea is actually very pale, and after completely surrendering to the Central Plains, it has always been a subject country, and only looks up to the Celestial Empire. As long as Japan becomes strong, it will want to set foot on the mainland, and North Korea will bear the brunt of the attack from Japan.

The formation of the anti-fascist coalition gave the Koreans another opportunity, "national reunification." National independence! It is the loudest slogan shouted by Korean nationalists. They were also busier than ever. Organize the resistance, receive Chinese supplies, determine the course of action, and draw up a battle plan. It took a lot of thought to do everything, and just as these people were busy, the first clash of armored forces between China and Japan officially began.

The development of tanks in Japan came after World War I, but the Japanese did not quite understand how this new king of land warfare should be used. They could only follow the example of the cats and learn from the European powers to assign tanks to various divisions and regiments to cooperate with infantry attacks.

In the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese armored forces soared all the way, invincible, and showed the power of armored power to Japan with a hearty victory, which made the Japanese wake up like a dream, and they also began to focus on the development of new tanks, but Japan's tank road was not smooth.

Japan's weak national strength can only choose between the navy and the army, and it cannot achieve a comprehensive balance. In the instinct of an island nation, Japan has focused its efforts on aircraft carriers. It was not until Japan and Germany formed an alliance and received technical support from Germany, and at the same time Indonesia provided a large amount of resources to Japan, that Japan began to equip tanks on a large scale.

Previously, Japan was equipped with light tanks of less than 10 tons, and this tonnage of tanks has completely disappeared from China's main battle forces, and even reconnaissance tanks are more than 15 tons, which can withstand machine guns and artillery shells. As for things under ten tons, they can easily explode as long as the machine gun is close, so there is really no need to equip them.

After Japan got the help of Germany, began to develop medium tanks, the Japanese Army finally began the most important transformation, the establishment of specialized armored forces, before the outbreak of World War II, Japan was equipped with a total of three tank divisions, this number is not much among all the powers, China, Germany, the Soviet Union tank divisions are more than ten, and the establishment is far larger than the Japanese divisions.

However, it was good that the small island nation was able to do this, and the Japanese transferred two tank divisions to the Pacific theater to seize the colonies with Britain and the United States.

The 1st Panzer Division, the most powerful of all, was sent to Korea to defend China, and the total number of this division reached 15,000 men, equipped with 150 medium tanks, 36 light tanks, 18 self-propelled guns, 36 armored personnel carriers, and more than 200 trains, command vehicles, and repair vehicles.

This first armored division is the most well-equipped, the highest degree of mechanization, and the best treatment of soldiers among all the Japanese army, which can be called the heart of the Japanese military department, and it is also the trump card in the hands of Shunroku Hatata, who is actually very reluctant to put valuable armored troops into defensive battles and act as consumables, but in the face of China's sharp attack, Shunroku Hata has to hope that the armored division will turn things around.

At the front of the entire unit, the Chinese armored forces were like a sharp broadsword, responsible for quickly cutting through the Japanese defensive line, and the follow-up troops broke through the depth of the Japanese army with the armored troops.

When the Chinese army was advancing rapidly, the unique roar of the tank also sounded head-on, and the Japanese armored troops finally appeared on the battlefield, and the Chinese armored troops suddenly felt sincere joy, the opponent of the tank was still the tank, not the Japanese infantry like a mouse.

All the Chinese tanks were like sharks smelling fishy, and quickly rushed towards the Japanese army, the fastest of which was the Biao 4 tank, which is the main equipment of the Chinese army at present, a type of medium tank, with a total tonnage of 32 tons, equipped with a 76 mm main gun, the maximum cross-country speed of more than 55 kilometers, and has very outstanding maneuverability.

When the Japanese tank appeared on the battlefield, the Biao 4 tank relied on its amazing mobility, quickly rushed over, like a knight, and the Japanese tank unit collided head-on, the main battle tank equipped by Japan is the 97 type of combat vehicle, compared with the original historical time and space of the 97 type, the total weight of the new Japanese tank has been greatly improved, reaching 24 tons, and the main gun equipped with 75 mm.

Although this tank is much lighter than the Biao Si, the Japanese made the tank very low due to their short stature, which effectively reduced the area of the bullet and increased the defense force, which made the Japanese tank's defense capability not much worse than that of China.

Of course, in order to adapt to the cockpit of the tank, the first condition for selecting tank crews in Japan is their height, which must be less than 1.55 meters.

This standard may be difficult to achieve in other countries, but it is easier for Japan, and they easily found enough small, and because of this, Japan's tank force is called the Wajin Club.

Don't look at these Japanese who are short, but they are all empty-eyed and arrogant, except for the emperor, they are the most amazing in this world, and no country or army is in their eyes. Therefore, when they saw the Chinese tanks rushing towards them, they did not hesitate to charge, and the two torrents of steel collided on the position.

Cui Weihua was driving the Pixiu tank to the battlefield at this time, his heart was very anxious, the Pixiu was nearly ten tons heavier than the Biao tank, and there was a gap in maneuverability, and he was left behind, which he could not accept when he had been charging ahead.

He kept urging the driver to speed up, and Pixiu's huge body rushed towards the Japanese tank at an extraordinary speed, and at this time the tanks on both sides had been killed in one place, and there were already three Japanese Type 97 medium tanks and two Biao 4 tanks on the battlefield smoking and catching fire.

It seems that there is not much difference in the performance of the tanks of China and Japan, and when the Pixiu tank joined the battle group, the situation was very different, Cui Weihua commanded the gunner to fire at a Type 97 tank, and the armor-piercing shell quickly flew out of the barrel and crashed into the frontal armor of the Japanese Type 97 tank with a blazing temperature.

With a bang, the armor was completely shattered, none of the Japanese soldiers inside were spared, and the tank also ignited a raging fire and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

This time it happened to hit the tracks of the Japanese tank, and the tracks were immediately broken and completely stopped on the spot, and it was a tragedy for the tank that lost its mobility, and it was quickly refilled, which hit the side armor right now, and the entire turret was knocked away.

As soon as he came up, he easily knocked out two Japanese tanks, Cui Weihua's rejoicing, just when he was about to look for the next target, the Japanese tanks also noticed this fierce beast, the Pixiu tank was nearly twice as heavy as Japan's largest tank, and the huge body was like a giant beast in the wilderness, and the Japanese also knew that this was a strong enemy, and several tanks focused their attacks on Cui Weihua's tank.

Cui Weihua only felt that his tank slammed into the edge of the cockpit, and his head slammed into the edge of the cockpit, and immediately blood flowed down, he knew that his car had been hit by a shell, but it didn't seem to cause much damage, except that his head was broken.

The Japanese were also dumbfounded, their tank main guns really couldn't help Pixiu, Cui Weihua quickly launched a counterattack on the Japanese tank that attacked him, and blew up another Japanese tank.

Chinese tanks rushed over in a steady stream, endlessly, and soon overwhelmed the Japanese tanks. The collision between the Chinese and Japanese tank units did not take long to happen, but the Japanese backbone of the Type 97 medium tank was wiped out more than 80 vehicles, and the Chinese side lost only 32 Biao 4 and 3 Pixiu, and the Chinese armored forces won a decisive victory.

When Shunroku Hata received more than three-quarters of the losses of the 1st Tank Division, he was immediately stunned, as if his heart had been cut with a knife, and it was all blood.

He was well aware that with the defeat of the tank division, the border defense line had in fact been broken by the Chinese, and the next step was to go straight to Seoul, where the Japanese army would have to rely on the cover provided by the city to engage in brutal street battles with the Chinese army.

Shunroku Hata had a good idea, and after the Chinese armored forces easily wiped out the Japanese 1st Tank Division, they quickly rushed along the road towards Seoul.

Japan's painstakingly managed border line was completely breached in only five days. (To be continued.) )
