The front line of the Chinese army has broken through the Japanese defense line for nearly five kilometers, you must know that the fortifications on the front line are all built by Shunroku Hatata, since the last Sino-Japanese war, the Japanese have a clear understanding of the strength of the Chinese army, and they are very clear that Japan is in a weak position. Therefore, the Japanese have invested a lot of financial and material resources to build a super defense line comparable to that of the Maginot No.

Japan invested no less than a billion yen in this defensive line, and at its peak it used more than 500,000 laborers, and in order to build this 240-kilometer-long defensive line, a total of more than 100,000 Korean laborers died.

And most importantly, this line of defense is not only what can be seen on the ground, but also the bigger mystery is underground. In order to counteract the superiority of China's armored forces, the Japanese wantonly built underground tunnels, dense turns, one ring after another, and Japanese soldiers acted underground like rats. At the same time, a large number of artillery machine guns were hidden in the complex underground fortifications, forming an unprecedentedly tight defensive system.

For such a defensive line, Shunroku Hata still maintains enough confidence, the Chinese army definitely does not want to break through easily, but the fact is that he was shocked, the speed of the Chinese's attack is much faster than he imagined, and the tunnel fortifications do not play their due role at all, so Hata Shunliu is very annoyed.

The smooth advance of the Chinese army is actually inseparable from adequate preparations, since a few years ago, the Japanese have built a large number of fortifications in the south of Korea, how could China not know about this situation, so China has also launched a study of tunnel fortifications.

The underground fortifications were like rat holes, and if you want to deal with the Japanese soldiers in them, you will deal with them as if they were rats, and people usually want to deal with rats. Water, smoke, and so on. The same can be done against the Japanese soldiers inside the tunnel. But it's not water that's going to be filled, it's diesel.

After pouring diesel fuel into the tunnel fortifications and then using a flamethrower, it burns violently. The Japanese soldiers in the tunnels would have died from suffocation and poisonous gases, if not burned to death, and the more stubborn fortifications were also used by the Chinese to drill into the ground.

During the Battle of the Ryukyus, China had already used this weapon against Japanese grave fortifications, and now China's ground-penetrating bombs have greatly improved both in power and accuracy. It was possible to easily destroy the fortifications carefully constructed by the Japanese. It was precisely because of these thorough preparations that the Chinese army's attack was unprecedentedly fast, and a depression of nearly 20 kilometers had been punched in the Japanese defense line, and the depth had reached about 7 kilometers.

Shunroku Hata was in his headquarters, walking back and forth, looking irritable, "Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" What are they thinking? ”

Shunroku Hatata's roar frightened everyone in the headquarters, and one of the staff officers replied stubbornly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the people of China have carried out intensive bombardment of our railways and roads. The roads were seriously blocked, and our soldiers simply did not have a way to get to the front quickly. ”

The Chinese side concentrated all its forces to attack one place. To quickly break through Japan's fortifications, in order to achieve this goal, the most important thing is to control the air power, only with air supremacy, China can block reinforcements from other places, the Japanese are honestly confined in place, watching China break through the defense line, they can do nothing.

In fact, after several hours of bombing, Japan's air bases near the front line were all successfully destroyed, a large number of combat planes were destroyed on the ground, and Japan's air power was severely damaged, and it could only surrender air supremacy to the Chinese side.

At the same time, the Japanese reinforcements who arrived by various means of transportation were also seriously delayed by the air force, and it can be said that the way for Japan to transfer soldiers from the rear had been blocked, and now all that Japan could count on was their troops on the front line.

However, the Japanese troops are suffering a cruel blow, the Japanese soldiers can be called the elite force of this era, they are loyal and brave, even to the extent of contempt for their own lives, the quality of individual soldiers is also extremely good, many people are extremely good marksmanship, but personal excellence can not make up for the gap in equipment.

China has been crafting its war machine for years, and now it's time to put it on display. Tank commander Cui Weihua was at the forefront of the Chinese army at this time in a Pixiu heavy tank.

Pixiu is also a fierce beast in ancient Chinese legends, and it is only eaten without pulling, and is regarded as a representative who can devour the wealth of the Quartet, and China's latest heavy tank is also named Pixiu, which means that it is not just eating and not pulling, but only he destroys others, and no one can destroy Pixiu.

In fact, the total weight of the Pixiu heavy tank has reached 42 tons, and the main gun equipped with is a 105 mm caliber anti-tank gun, which can fire armor-piercing shells that take off the hat and penetrate 160 mm of homogeneous armor at about 1,500 meters.

Although Japan has put a lot of effort into developing tanks, due to resource constraints, the so-called heavy tanks developed by Japan are at the level of medium tanks of other countries, and because of the backwardness of metallurgical technology, Japan's tank defense capability is even more fragile, and it is far from being comparable to China, which is very technologically mature.

The real awe-inspiring thing about the Pixiu tank is the powerful armor, the frontal armor reaches 140 mm, and the oblique armor is adopted, which can not only increase the thickness of the defense, but also increase the probability of ricochet, and the tank turret adopts a spherical design, which effectively reduces the height of the tank, and also strengthens the defense capability.

Through these designs, the Pixiu tank is undoubtedly the perfect embodiment of firepower and protection in this era, of course, as an excellent tank, good maneuverability is also essential, the Pixiu is equipped with a 570 horsepower engine, the maximum speed can reach 40 kilometers per hour, a new suspension system is adopted, driving is more comfortable, the movement is more flexible, for ordinary trenches and ravines can be on the ground, without obstacles, mobility is not lagging behind the old tank.

Being able to drive such a steel overlord on the battlefield is definitely an unprecedented enjoyment, and Cui Weihua is also extremely excited at this time, Pixiu has a total of four members, a commander, a gun commander, a loader and a driver.

The experienced Cui Weihua became the commander, the commander of a tank, the main mission is to coordinate the cooperation between the personnel within the tank, but also to take into account the entire battle formation, pay attention to effective cooperation with other tanks, and the commander will also make a cameo appearance as a machine gunner and gunner's accusations.

The Pixiu tank is equipped with a special commander's control tower, which has a wide field of vision and is easy to observe. However, Cui Weihua prefers to open the hatch and poke his body out, which can accurately grasp the ever-changing battle situation, although he has to risk the rain of bullets, but it can have a good effect.

Since the beginning of the war, four Japanese tanks have been destroyed by the tanks commanded by Cui Weihua, and three other firing points have been eliminated, and there are as many as 30 Japanese soldiers who have died at the hands of this giant beast.

Most of the middle- and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers in the Chinese army were born after the Xinhai Revolution, and they formed their worldview at a time when the world economic crisis was in place of a great crisis, in which China did not suffer losses, but on the contrary, developed rapidly, and its economic success also made them have a very different view of the world than their predecessors, and they were also a self-confident generation.

They did not experience a terrible famine, and most of them were able to go to school and have enough to eat. They also have no reverence for the so-called powers, and even when they talk about Japan's plundering in China, they can't understand that it is unimaginable that a small island country can be bullied and oppressed by the Celestial Empire.

Now Cui Weihua finally has a chance to teach the Japanese a lesson, he drives the steel beast, quickly crushing the Japanese defense line, their task is to find a way out, and then the follow-up troops will clear the nasty underground fortifications, and those rat-like Japanese soldiers will also be broken to pieces.

Cui Weihua, who was marching rapidly, suddenly felt a chill in his back, as a veteran on the battlefield, he had a special sensitive nerve, it seemed that some danger was approaching, he suddenly shrank down, and suddenly retracted into the tank, just when his body was falling, a bullet hit his helmet.

Drilling a hole, he was not injured, but he was also very angry, and then determined the position of the other party according to the direction from which the bullet came, and hurriedly ordered the tank muzzle to be turned around, just aimed at a dark bunker, and hit the bunker with a shot, only to see the flames, and suddenly several stumps and broken legs were thrown into the air, and a Japanese marksman was killed.

The Chinese army marched all the way unimpeded, quickly passing through the defense line carefully constructed by Japan, Hata Shunroku was like an ant on a hot pot, if the defense line was breached, Seoul was close at hand, the Chinese army only needed a charge to kill Seoul, and losing Seoul meant losing South Korea, at this time Hata Shunroku could not help but be anxious.

He hurriedly ordered the transfer of a Japanese tank division, which was a unit that Japan had done its best to build, equipped with more than 300 tanks, which could be called the essence of the Japanese army.

The Japanese charioteers were the highest in the Japanese Army, and they were full of pride, driving tanks and roaring towards the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
