And [***] to open the capital, cover the eight red and for the universe.

This is the national motto of the Great Empire.

Longli respects the virtuous and the king, respects the law and loves the people and dominates.

This is the national motto of the Chinese Empire.

These are two Asian neighbours that are similar and have similar national backgrounds, but are very different.

In July, the Battle of Pusan and the Battle of Iwo Jima finally began, and are considered to be the last two large-scale battles before the Imperial Wehrmacht attacked the mainland.

In the sky, warplanes roared by.

On the Soviet-German battlefield, both sides actually failed to better understand the modern combat value of the air force, the Soviet-German air force was more like a knight in the sky, and those elite Luftwaffe ace pilots preferred to ravage rookie pilots on the front line, shoot them down to accumulate merit and fame, and both sides were too casual in their strikes on enemy air airfields, lacking a higher level of overall operational planning.

This is generally the case at the stage when the air force still has a certain strength in the early stage, and it always lacks a program for large-scale air force operations.

The Imperial Air Force is their best teacher.

After the large-scale installation of BF120, the range of the Imperial rocket artillery was increased from 30 km and 60 km to 120 km in the early BF30\60, and the command of short-range surface-to-surface missiles began to be transferred to the Imperial Army in large quantities. 3 bombers and G-2\3 attack planes carried out large-scale strikes on the Japanese army, completely destroying the artillery positions, railways, communications, and fortresses of the Japanese army, and striking at the frontline positions of the Japanese army on a large scale.

For the Imperial Air Force, the biggest threat at this time is only the anti-aircraft guns hidden in the woods and buildings, surnamed Suo, the army has not studied anti-aircraft guns too deeply before, and the Type 88 anti-aircraft guns in service are not excellent in terms of surname, whether it is the rate of fire, power and range in the world's active major anti-aircraft guns, they can only be regarded as second-rate, the worst is after many large-scale defeats before, coupled with the transportation blockade of the Imperial Navy and Air Force on the troops stationed in Korea, the East Asian Dispatch Army of the Yue Army has been in a stage of great lack of anti-aircraft guns.

The army reluctantly supported the East Asian Dispatch Army by sending army air forces from Kyushu Island, but it was no match for the Imperial Air Force.

The Air Force roared into the sky.

The East Asian Dispatch Army, suppressed by six divisions of the Imperial Air Force, had collapsed before the Northeast Defense Army could attack, and for the past two months the Korean troops had been in a stage of serious lack of supplies, and they could only rely on a tenacious will to fight and absolute loyalty to the emperor.

They fought on their bitter hatred of the Chinese.

Xue Yue, who had distinguished himself in the previous Battle of Jindaoling, had become the commander of the Fourth Army, and was at the forefront of launching a land offensive against the Yue Army, which was exactly the battlefield he expected, in a large-scale battle between the army and the army, to destroy the opponent with absolute superiority.

At the insistence of General Chen Wu, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Northeast National Defense Forces, the Central Military Department and the Northeast National Defense Forces Department gave more front-line command rights to the commanders of the group armies, so that they had the right to decide on their own campaign tactics.

At this moment, Xue Yue just had a feeling of pleasure like a tiger descending from the mountain.

He and his Fourth Army were like tigers descending from the mountains, but the 5th Army of the East Asian Dispatch Army on the opposite side seemed to be in the last years of the war, and the war had reached such a point that the Chinese and Chinese armies were completely incomparable, and the gap between the two sides was not as simple as one generation or two generations.

At the beginning of the outbreak of the Third Sino-Chinese War, the Army barely had the foundation to compete with the Imperial Centre Army, but today, the gap between the two sides is worlds apart in terms of equipment, troops, and tactical command levels.

The reason for this is precisely because the Imperial Army has long invested a high amount of money in equipment research and development, accounting for a very high proportion of the Army's military expenditure, and the speed of upgrading and installation of Army equipment has been strictly restricted.

In the past 10 years, the Imperial Army's military equipment research and development expenditure has always maintained more than 33 percent of the Army's military expenditure, surpassing the sum of the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, France, and Britain.

As for the imperial education, both the scale and the overall level are far from being comparable to what could have been done, and the number of reserve and reserve officers is so large that even if the size of the Imperial Army is expanded to three times that of the pre-war period, the overall tactical command capability can still be maintained at the world's first-class level, while the Imperial Army is completely unable to meet this requirement.

The war has reached such an extent that the gap between the Chinese and Chinese armies has been completely widened.

At this time, the army will be the strongest army in the world before the advent of the era of nuclear weapons, a modern army built on the basis of the theory of firepower balance, a modern army with M35 assault rifles, M38 general-purpose machine guns, 8mm heavy sniper rifles, 30mm underhung grenade launchers, and 60\75mm mortars to build infantry basic armaments, and a modern army with armor, artillery, infantry, and rocket artillery units to build a four-in-one comprehensive balance theory. A modern army that has reached the theory of rapid response mobility at the squad level with wireless communications, a modern army that pursues mechanical automation on the basis of speed and fierceness, and a modern army with a total of more than 2.2 million personnel that has basically completed modernization and reorganization.

Before the outbreak of the Northeast Defense Force to Busan, the total size of the whole army had exceeded 2.2 million, and the modernization and modification of the whole army was basically completed, taking the self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery battalion as an example, in addition to eight 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, the whole battalion was also matched with armored reconnaissance vehicles, armored command vehicles, tracked armored warning radar vehicles, automatic bomb loading vehicles, and armored communication vehicles.

Among all the advantages, the lead of 2.2 million M35 assault rifles is the largest, they directly determine the firepower ratio on the battlefield, as General Chen Wu said, the war in the era of hot weapons is to use 30 bullets to annihilate an enemy, or to use 50 rounds of ammunition to annihilate an enemy, whether it is 30 rounds, or 50 rounds, the firepower of the troops is always more advantageous.

Fu Zuoyi's experience made Xue Yue unwilling to be too proud and complacent, but he still knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for the opposing army to fight him head-on, in order to deal with the positional warfare and mountain warfare of the army, the Northeast Defense Force had urgently increased the number of flamethrower equipment, and the flamethrower had also been improved, and the firing range was increased to 45 meters, which was similar to the characteristics of the German army, and each flamethrower squad was directly under the jurisdiction of the company, with 3 groups, 2 people in each group, and a flamethrower.

Every small lead comes together, and in the end there is an irreversible chasm.

……

The sky fighter roared by, like a sharp sword piercing the sky, black gunpowder smoke billowing across the earth, General Xue Yue held a telescope in the distance on the mountain ridge to stop and watch, the position in front has been bombed by fierce artillery fire black as scorched earth, blazing wolf smoke, dozens of light tanks in the tracked infantry fighting vehicle and two infantry regiments with the cooperation of advancing forward to fight, there are about 40 flamethrower squads on the entire battlefield, about 130 groups of flamethrowers, these important flames are strictly in accordance with the tactical norms, Cooperate with other infantry squads to move forward as needed from the rear, as well as follow tanks to clear mines and trenches.

Nearly fifty meters of flame was constantly wreaking havoc on the battlefield like the tongue of a dragon, and in the rear, the soldiers were relatively relaxed, and the veterans could even take the time to light their cigarettes and follow the tanks.

Rugged or low hills are no longer the main obstacle to the advance of mechanized troops, and although only light tanks and tracked armored vehicles can be used, the lack of heavy firepower and anti-tank guns allows light tanks like the MT22 to sweep the battlefield.

From time to time, attack planes still pass by at high speed in the sky, there is still the sound of artillery in the rear, and more often there is the dull sound of mortars and grenades, and the mass service of assault rifles has changed the rhythm of war, and rhythm is very important, and the army that cannot adapt to the change in rhythm cannot defeat the opponent.

When an infantry squad can have the firepower of an infantry platoon in the past, the rhythm of the infantry of the Imperial Army interspersed, inserted forward, and attacked positions was significantly accelerated, which just matched the large-scale mechanized advance, and the Yue army no longer had any ability to counter in the face of such a rapid attack.

After the opening of the Battle of Busan, in the first day, Xue Yue's Fourth Army advanced 30 kilometers, completely compressing the Yue Army to the Busan generation, and basically completing the task of the Northeast Defense Army, Liu Yazhao and Zhang Zizhong's First and Third Group Armies followed, and Huang Baitao's Second Group Army advanced horizontally, advancing from west to east, keeping pace with Xue Yue at the same time, compressing the maneuver space of the Yue Army from two directions at the same time.

The army still has about 700,000 army units left in Korea, but it has not really organized a large-scale counterattack and positional struggle, and the front-line troops will not receive any reinforcements.

The army was already a remnant of the twilight, and the Imperial Northeast Defense Force was gradually adjusted to the best situation in the Korean theater, and the final decisive battle between the two sides in the Battle of Pusan was almost a one-sided onslaught and a one-sided rout.

It is undeniable that the will to fight of the officers and men is still terrifyingly tenacious and stubborn, even crazy, but it is still so useless.

The resounding trumpet of the charge could not be heard on the battlefield, and the Imperial Army did not need that strange large-scale charge, but relied more on the advance of tanks, the cross-attack of elite troops, the multi-point and multi-line strong attack of infantry firepower with the theory of balance, like Cerberus quickly cannibalized the opponent one bite after another, in the attack of fire and artillery, in the advance of tanks, constantly annihilating every force.

Good and strict tactical training has given the front-line officers and men of the Imperial Army an extremely stable and efficient ability to execute tactics, and in the face of various situations, they can better abide by the tactical norms to carry out offensive tactics and destroy the enemy, and veterans and lieutenants are the most important troop support.

When it was getting dark, Xue Yue's Fourth Army had advanced to Yangsan County, less than 20 kilometers away from the last city of Busan, and Huang Baitao's Second Army broke through the defense line of Haman County, and there was still a distance of 35 kilometers from Busan City.

Once this stage is reached, the decisive battle between the two armies in the Korean battlefield will be completely over, because there are no relatively steep mountains around Busan City and Gimhae County on the west side, and most of the hills are mainly low, and there are obviously many ditch-type breaches several kilometers wide.

With the Imperial Navy and Air Force in full control of the Korean Strait, it was impossible for the Japanese army to safely withdraw to the mainland, so the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula were left with only two options, either surrender or be annihilated.

Army General Seishiro Itagaki had replaced Shunroku Hata as commander-in-chief of the East Asian Dispatch Force in Korea, and he ordered that he would fight to the last man in Korea, never back down, let alone surrender, and the Northeast Defense Force would gladly fulfill them.

The terrain around Busan is even inferior to that of Daegu, and it is most appropriate for the Chinese Army, which has completed the mechanization reform, to fight the final decisive battle here, and how the army will fight to the last man is not a question for the commanders of the Northeast Defense Force to consider.

Chen Wu's only concern was that he did not want to see the Japanese army continue to use chemical weapons, although the Imperial Army had sufficient means of defense and counterattack, but Pusan was a densely populated urban area on the Korean Peninsula, and it had always been the center of gravity of the colony's operations, and the port was prosperous.

If chemical warfare continues in such a place, it will not be the best outcome for an empire that is about to take over Korea completely.

Time has changed a lot of things and a lot of people.

His 10-year tenure as the country's top military adviser in Iran has given him more opportunities to think about the bigger picture, not only at the military-strategic and tactical levels, but also at the political and economic levels, and in Chen's view, North Korea will be equivalent to the empire's most important new colony, equivalent to half of the country, and he is clearly unwilling to use chemical weapons here.

The good news is that the serious warning issued by the Central Cabinet to Samoto through diplomatic channels has taken effect, and the Central Military Intelligence Department has received the latest information from Samoto, confirming that Emperor Hirohito has signed a new order prohibiting the military from provoking chemical warfare again, and in the previous Battle of Daegu, because the military took the initiative to provoke chemical warfare, the medium-range missiles of the imperial strategic forces directly attacked Tokyo with chemical warheads, causing heavy losses to Tokyo and demoralizing the country.

Yes.

As long as China wants, China can turn Yueben into a barren wasteland, and China can sweep the entire Yueben with chemical warheads, at least causing the loss of more than 20 million people.

On the second day after the Battle of Pusan began, the four group armies of the Northeast Defense Force successively achieved their strategic offensive objectives and encircled Pusan on three sides.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the third day, the Northeast Defense Force officially launched the final onslaught against the East Asian Dispatch Army, and the 4th, 10th, and 33rd Armored Divisions attacked from three sides at the same time as the main force.

In the overall offensive tactical design, Chen Wu did not easily reduce the scale of artillery investment because the mechanized tank unit could play a surprise role again, in fact, on the contrary, although the opposite is the city, Chen Wu still used artillery units on a large scale, invested three artillery divisions and four artillery brigades, plus the artillery regiments and two rocket artillery brigades under the jurisdiction of each infantry division, the Northeast Defense Force invested more than 4,000 artillery pieces in the final general offensive.

In the Siping Campaign of the Liberation War, neither the Kuomintang nor the Communist Army reduced the use of artillery because Siping was a medium-sized city, and the artillery attacks of both sides directly razed the entire Siping to the ground.

The Chinese have always been very ruthless in fighting wars, both at home, let alone abroad.

Chen Wu did not think too much about the life and death of the Korean people, in his opinion, the urban warfare strategy designed by Seishiro Itagaki was stupid, and the local buildings in Busan were mostly wooden structures, and the average size was relatively small and messy, and the Imperial Army would not fight street battles with the Yue army here, and it was the best choice to raze them directly.

Among Busan's population, there are more than 60,000 immigrants, which is the statistics of the Central Military Intelligence Department, and these are not within the scope of the Imperial Army's need to take into account.

Beginning at 10 o'clock in the morning, the Imperial Army changed its conventional arrangement of air-ground integration tactics and did not dispatch too many air forces, first of all, artillery units carried out wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the positions and urban areas of the Japanese army, venting as many as 60,000 shells on the positions of the Japanese army every minute, and in just a few minutes, the defense line and the rear of the Japanese army were blown into a scorched earth ruins.

The earth roared like a thunderstorm cracking.

The entire area around Busan has been in this continuous tremor, as if it has been an earthquake, and you can feel this continuous shaking when you stand on the surface, and the huge explosions are continuous and continuous, roaring like a mighty rolling thunder, resounding in every corner of the surrounding land.

The entire city and the surrounding defense line were burning with raging fires, billowing black smoke spreading for tens of kilometers.

After the shelling lasted for 30 minutes, the anti-aircraft artillery positions of the Japanese army were completely shattered, and the Imperial Air Force made a large-scale sortie, while the Imperial Army launched a large-scale in-depth attack with more than 6,000 tanks and other armored vehicles as the main force, using the 2nd Tank Brigade equipped with MBT35 main battle tanks as the main force, with the cooperation of the 4th Panzer Division and the 11th Tank Brigade, directly penetrating into the rear base camp of the Japanese Army, followed by the three infantry divisions of the Fourth Army.

The defense line composed of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Japanese army seemed to be solid, but in fact it was vulnerable to attack, and it was completely torn apart in less than three hours.

After that, the artillery bombardment continued, blowing the entire city of Busan into ruins, and the three infantry divisions of the Fourth Army began to serve as the main force, under the protection of armored infantry fighting vehicles and light tanks, to carry out layers of advance operations against the ruined city of Busan, gradually penetrating forward like a tide, killing all the Japanese troops encountered on the way, without taking prisoners or hiding.

The gap between the army and an infantry squad of the imperial army in light weapons has reached a point where it is completely irreversible, and the role of assault rifles in military warfare has been clearly highlighted.

The M35 is a very classic assault rifle, before that, the Imperial Army had a short small scale equipped with the M33 assault rifle similar to the Type 03 automatic rifle, the M35 is the result of the overall improvement on the basis of the M33B, which is more mature, stable and excellent than the former.

Compared with the Type 03 automatic rifle, the aesthetic characteristics of the M35 are more obvious, the overall design is flat and square, the barrel is thicker, the scattering effect is good, and the stock structure is a traditional engineering plastic stock, rather than the folding type of the 03 automatic rifle.

The M35 assault rifle continues to be a 7.62×35mm medium cartridge with a smaller diameter curvature, stable ballistics, high shooting accuracy, long range and high power, and when the range is closer, the bullet will significantly rupture when hitting the target at a high speed of 750 m/s, producing irregular changes in motion and leading to larger-scale internal trauma.

This type of assault rifle uses a large number of aluminum alloy and wear-resistant high-strength plastic components, so the empty weight is reduced to 3.5 kg, the magazine capacity is 25 rounds, and the weight of the full ammunition high with scope is 5.4 kg, which can be matched with under-mounted grenade launchers, usually 4 to 5 M35 rifles per infantry squad have grenade launchers.

This high standard of configuration allowed the Imperial Army infantry units to have great firepower during the battle, which was more than enough to compensate for the disadvantage of the M35 itself being soaked in high caste and lacking lethality.

The advantage of the M35 assault rifle is that it takes into account the rate of fire and the accuracy of shooting at medium and close ranges, and has a range that is not weaker than the Hanyang semi-automatic rifle, compared to the 5-6 mm small-caliber bullet, its ammunition power still occupies a certain advantage, although there are shortcomings in anti-aircraft shooting, but this is an inevitable problem, whether it is M30, or M33, the predecessor of M35, this problem is rooted.

No weapon is perfect, and as an assault rifle, the M35 at least retains an absolute king advantage in this era.

The performance of the elite units of the Imperial Army in urban street battles is perfect, and these permanent units belonging to the elite infantry divisions of the Central Defense Force have more reliable training and tactical execution capabilities, as well as absolute equipment leadership over the Japanese army, including more excellent young lieutenants, and a large number of experienced professional non-commissioned officers of the National Defense Forces.

For at least this year, CSKA was the most powerful army in the world, and there was no dispute that the only one qualified to challenge CSKA was the German Army, which was also in great glory on the Soviet-German battlefield.

If there is a full-scale decisive battle between the Chinese and German armies, it is likely to be a decisive battle between the two strongest armies in human history.

Who is the king of the world's armies, this answer will eventually be born between the Chinese and German armies.

As for the Soviet Red Army, in terms of equipment, combat achievements, and overall tactical literacy, the Soviet Red Army was not qualified to be compared with the Chinese and German armies for at least this year.

The Battle of Busan ended very quickly.

The whole battle lasted until the fourth day, and it was basically at the end of the stage, and the commander-in-chief of the East Asian Dispatch Army, General Itagaki Seishiro, was also captured by the Special Airborne Division, and this general, together with General Shunroku Hatata, who had not yet been evacuated from the battlefield, was captured by the airborne troops who raided at night before they could even commit suicide and apologize.

At this point, the short glorious history of the army was once again completely shattered and completely shattered after the Sino-Chinese Xinhai War.
