The headquarters of the 33rd Division of the Army.

Sakurai was anxiously pacing back and forth in the war room, the old devil losing faith in his troops for the first time.

Although the spirit of bushido in the army is known as invincible, Sakurai is very clear in his heart that flesh and blood cannot resist the cannon after all, and in the face of the heavy artillery group of the [***] team, no matter how brave and tenacious the officers and men of the army are, it can only be in vain, and the only hope now is that the 215th Infantry Wing can break through the [***] defense line as soon as possible.

As long as the defense line of [***] is broken, the heavy artillery group of [***] will be exposed to the front of the army!

It had been more than half an hour since the order to attack was issued, and if it went well, Harada's 215th Infantry Wing should have broken through [***] by this time.

When Sakurai was waiting a little impatiently, Murata Jiaosheng walked in quickly, and immediately retracted his feet and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, five minutes ago, the 215th Infantry Wing successfully broke through the first line of defense of the Shina Army, but the chariot cluster of the Shina Army suddenly came out of the jungle and killed the 215th Wing by surprise!" ”

"What?" Sakurai frowned and said, "The chariot cluster of the Shina Army? ”

"Hello!" Murata Kyosen bowed his head abruptly and said, "At least 80 T-26 combat vehicles, at least 100 armored vehicles, and at least more than 2,000 infantry follow-up attacks, Harada Dong has been shattered, and more than half of the casualties of the 215th Infantry Wing have also been routed back from the positions of the Shina Army, and I am worried about ......"

"What!?" Sakurai said awe-inspiringly, "At least 80 T-26 tanks!?" ”

The base camp of the Yue Army knew about the fact that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had a small number of Soviet-style T-26 tanks, and when the 15th Army attacked Burma, the Southern Army Command also reminded the commanders of the divisions, but Sakurai did not think that the tanks of the Chinese Expeditionary Force would pose too much threat to the Yue Army, because the Chinese did not understand cluster tactics at all.

In fact, at this time, it is true that only the German army and the Chinese army have mastered the blitzkrieg tactics of tank clusters, not to mention China, even the Soviet Union, has not yet mastered the blitzkrieg tactics of tank clusters, and in the European theater, Lao Maozi's tanks will definitely not appear in clusters on the battlefield, but will only appear sporadically in order to provide protection for the infantry.

"Murata-kun, could you have heard me wrong?" Sakurai Shozo froze and said in a skeptical tone, "80 T-26 tanks, this is a huge tank cluster, when did the Shina people master the blitzkrieg tactics of the tank cluster?" No, it can't be, it's impossible, you must have heard it wrong! ”

"Your Excellency the Division Commander!" Murata suddenly bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "It's indeed a chariot cluster!" ”

"Yaga!" Sakurai Shozo believed it at this time, and immediately ordered, "Order the 213th and 214th Infantry Wings to destroy all roads and bridges on the way of the advance of the Shina Chariot Cluster, especially the bridges, and then order the Mountain Artillery Wing and the Search Wing to speed up the march, and must converge with the division headquarters before noon!" ”

Although Sakurai didn't go to Germany to study, he had also heard about the blitzkrieg from Yamashita Fumi!

The tank cluster blitzkrieg, pioneered by the famous German general Guderian, is a great breakthrough in army tactics!

Before Guderian, the Western world followed the army tactics of the Napoleonic era, that is, first prepare for artillery fire, wait until the enemy's fortifications and personnel are almost killed by their own artillery fire, and then put in infantry to break through from a point.

It wasn't until Guderian came out of nowhere that the tank finally became the master of the land battlefield!

The blitzkrieg completely abandoned the combat pattern of infantry as the main force, and the tank became the main force of the assault for the first time, and the tanks that were originally used scattered were gathered in large numbers, and quickly broke through the enemy's defense line with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and quickly advanced to the depth.

The only effective way to stop the enemy's tank cluster is to use the tank cluster to fight as well!

Historically, the Soviet Red Army also paid nearly 10 million Red Army casualties and tens of thousands of tanks to draw this bloody lesson Sakurai Province learned blitzkrieg from Yamashita Fengfumi, so he clearly knew that destroying roads and bridges could only temporarily block the tank cluster of the [***] team, and if you want to destroy the tank cluster of the [***] team, you must rely on the anti-aircraft artillery squadron of the mountain artillery wing and the tank cluster of the search wing!

………… Forward positions.

The assault group composed of more than 80 T-26 tanks and more than 100 armored vehicles broke through all the way, and in less than ten minutes, it frantically advanced several thousand meters, and the position of the 215th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army was completely broken through, and the defense line built by the devil soldiers in a hurry was completely vulnerable in the face of the torrent of steel.

This is not a one-level contest at all, this is complete torture!

The gunners of the Chinese tank cluster were all screaming excitedly, seeing the machine gun set up in front of them, they couldn't help but say that it was a cannon, and they saw that there were more than three devil infantry gathered in front, and setting up the front machine gun was a wild sweep, and where the tank cluster passed, the devil soldiers were corpses all over the field and rivers of blood!

The Chinese infantry, who followed the tank clusters, were more depressed.

In addition to following the tanks to "smoke" and "eat ashes", the Chinese infantry was left to "mend the knife" for the devil soldiers, and the order was given by Yue Weihan, for the devil soldiers who stood up on the battlefield, whether they were dead or alive, they had to make up a bayonet in their hearts.

………… Meng Gong, 200th Division.

The good news from the front came back like a stream, and the war room was already full of jubilation!

When the two young and handsome major staff officers went to the confidential room to transcribe the telegrams, they straightened their bodies and made the hearts of the young and beautiful female confidential officers in the confidential room flutter, saying that women are beautiful only when they are confident, but in fact, the self-confidence of men, especially soldiers, is the most obsessive.

The soldiers all over the world are actually the same in their bones, and if they lose a battle, they wilt one by one, but once they win the battle, they all puff up their chests and raise their heads, like a big rooster patrolling the hen flock, and even Dai Anlan has a rare smile on his face.

However, Dai Anlan did not agree with Yue Weihan on this.

Under the busyness of more than a dozen combat staff officers, the red arrows composed of the tank regiment and the 600 regiment were rapidly extending forward on the map, Dai Anlan quickly discovered the hidden worries, and immediately poured cold water on the happy crowd and said: "Two kilometers further from the current position of the tank regiment is a small river, as long as the army blows up the highway bridge, the offensive of the tank regiment should be terminated." ”

"Termination?" Yue Weihan smiled and shook his head, "I think it will be delayed for two hours at most, this small river is less than thirty meters wide and less than two meters deep, as long as the engineering regiment fills it with hundreds of cubic meters of soil or stones, the tank cluster and the armored vehicle cluster can wade across the river and continue to advance to the depth of the army." ”

Dai Anlan continued to retort: "Although two hours is not enough for the army to build strong fortifications, it is also enough for the chariot troops of the 33rd Division of the army and the mountain artillery wing to reinforce it, the mountain artillery wing of the army has combat defense artillery, and in the jungle terrain, the battle defense artillery is a great threat to tanks!" ”

"Two hours is enough for the chariot unit and mountain artillery wing of the army to arrive, but ......" Yue Weihan said here and deliberately paused for a moment, until he had whetted the appetite of everyone in the war room, he continued slowly, "However, the chariot unit and the mountain artillery wing of the little devil still exist!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Dai Anlan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he couldn't understand it.

"Master Dai, you'll know in half an hour." Yue Weihan did not answer Dai Anlan directly, as a traverser, of course Yue Weihan knew the threat of dealing with tank clusters, not only the same use of tank clusters to counter a countermeasure, in fact, there was a more effective and lethal tactic, that is, air strikes!

In the Gulf War in later generations, the tank units of the Iraqi Army were destroyed by the US air power before they even saw the shadow of the US tanks, and the US Air Force of this era naturally could not be compared with the US Air Force of later generations, but the tanks of the army in this era could not be compared with the Soviet tanks of later generations.

………… Over the Menggong battlefield.

Eight warplanes led by Major McCann were searching and circling at high altitudes.

These 8 fighters are significantly different from the P-40 fighters that the Flying Tigers are heavily equipped with.

In fact, these 8 fighters are indeed not P-40 Hawk fighters, but the famous P-51 Mustang fighters in history! The P-51 Mustang fighter is a new fighter specially designed by the American company Douglas for the British Royal Air Force, and it is unbelievable that this aircraft took only 100 days from design, manufacturing to test flight!

The biggest difference between the P-51 Mustang and the P-40 is that it is equipped with 10 rocket pylons!

The P-51 Mustang fighter can also carry two 1000-pound aerial bombs, and compared to the predecessor P-40 fighter, the P-51 Mustang fighter's ground attack capability is greatly enhanced! With such a powerful ground attack capability, it is not a piece of cake to destroy the light tanks and artillery on the move?

"Sir, the target has been spotted at six o'clock!" Suddenly, a call from the wingman came from the communication channel.

Major Kenyon suddenly pushed the longitudinal pole, and the landline suddenly made a swooping posture, and when he looked out through the porthole, he saw dozens of military tanks and dozens of cannons towed by cars slowly moving north along the road.
