"Your Excellency, Commander, we will not be victorious if we do not support this battle......" Major General Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the North China Front, said in a deep voice to Terauchi Shouichi.

"In the current situation, we are at an absolute disadvantage. The Wehrmacht has a fleet of heavy vehicles, fighter jets and powerful artillery fire. Our side, on the other hand, has already lost air superiority, and at the same time more than half of the tank units have been lost. The heavy artillery was basically lost in the Battle of Beijing and Tianjin......"

"I know. I know all this. Shouichi Terauchi sighed deeply, put down the binoculars and whispered to Naosaburo Okabe beside him: "But the military department wants us to insist, what can I do?"

"I know that now the Wehrmacht has a huge advantage, but we have been ordered to keep fighting. A soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty. All we can do is fight as hard as we can."

Major General Naosaburo Okabe was silent, knowing that Japan was now constantly mobilizing forces to organize new troops and develop new combat vehicles and fighter jets.

All this takes time, but what the North China Front lacks most now is time

The Wehrmacht ignored the people and pursued the North China Front all the way. Not only Cangzhou, but also the Japanese troops that withdrew to the direction of Baoding were also attacked by the Wehrmacht.

Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo, commander of the Second Army, who had withdrawn to Baoding, sent a telegram claiming that if there was no more support, the entire Second Army would be shattered in Baoding. Even if it persists, then the Second Army will no longer be able to fight.

The "Boom Sudden Sudden ......" Tiger Type B frantically crushed the Japanese army's dark fort and broke directly into the center of the Japanese army's position. And the Japanese troops on the positions did not have any counterattack ability at all.

It can only be that the soldiers are constantly trying to rush to the side of the tank with ** bags or cannons, and blow up the weak armor such as tracks to stop the tank's advance.

The "Tutu Tu Tu ......" Wehrmacht infantry and tank coordinated operations had been trained in the Korean battlefield as if they were in full swing, and the Japanese troops on the position had just begun to make a move when they were swept down by the Wehrmacht officers and men behind the tanks with machine guns

The tank's massive body determines the limits of his perspective and movements. Therefore, in real warfare, the coordinated operation of infantry and tanks has become a subject that needs to be studied.

Tu Qianjun's vision from later generations naturally made Butan synergy the most important topic for special research. At the same time, in the actual battle, continue to accumulate experience and make corrections to adapt to the battlefield at this time.

Infantry-tank coordination, to be precise, should be the joint cooperation of infantry, tanks and artillery. Interdependence and cover on the battlefield to achieve the tactical goal of annihilating the enemy army or breaking through the enemy formation.

The general mode of battle is as follows: first, the motorized infantry maneuvers are out of the range of the opponent's small-caliber artillery, generally about 3 to 5 kilometers away, and then enter the starting position of the attack after getting off the vehicle.

The car was hidden at this time, and in the artillery fire support phase of artillery fire support, that is, for 30 to 50 minutes, while moving, it was expanded from a company battle formation into a platoon battle formation. Finally, it unfolds into a battle formation.

By this time the infantry units had reached the edge of distance from the effective range of the enemy machine guns. This distance is generally 400 to 600 meters, and then the troops are deployed into a shock battle formation, and the front line of the enemy's defense is attacked at high speed to carry out the final breakthrough.

When the armored infantry and the tank unit are coordinated, the distance from the direct movement to the starting position of the attack is usually about 2 to 4 kilometers, and then according to the terrain conditions, the tank and armored vehicles can be used to cover the attack, and the infantry can follow the attack.

Or it is infantry cover, tanks, armored vehicles and other coordinated action methods. If necessary, you can use a tank in front and armored vehicles in a coordinated formation, so that tanks can mainly cover armored vehicles and impact enemy formations.

Tanks do not stay long after breaking through enemy lines. They will only continue to advance into the enemy's depth, interspersed, divided, and advanced, at which point the infantry will clear the remaining strongholds after the tank attack and ensure the safety of the rear of the tanks.

The tanks themselves can completely clear the enemy from the position, which requires nimble infantry to carry out this task. Moreover. Infantry and tanks cover each other.

Tanks use their own armor to provide cover for their infantry, while using their own artillery to clear their positions of fire. Infantry, on the other hand, uses its agility behind the tank to clear out enemy infantry who are trying to attack the tank and pose a threat.

At the same time, the front will be stabilized and the supply transportation in the rear of the tanks will be guaranteed.

"Tom...... Boom" an explosion rang out. Screams rang out from the Japanese positions. The throwing cylinder is a good thing, and Tu Qianjun began to develop it in the early years.

This weapon has its comparable advantages in the position, and the curved shooting method and portable characteristics of the throwing canister allow it to achieve the purpose of projectile bombardment of enemy positions in the attack.

As for accuracy...... What the Wehrmacht advocates has always been one word: It is normal to practice as a thrower and shoot dozens of bombs a day.

Even I had to blast out a few of them to exercise my ability to judge the target. At the same time, the use of training methods for veterans to lead new recruits, supplemented by complete tutorials, are all means for the national defense forces to train elite soldiers.

Now, the Japanese army has finally tasted the bitterness. The Wehrmacht's throwing canisters were already stronger than the Japanese ones, and the increased power of the grenades meant that if they were hit, they would fall within a kill range of several meters.

But the tank units rushed to half of the Japanese positions and stopped. It's not that they didn't want to charge, but because the Japanese dug a long line of anti-tank trenches here

Anti-tank trenches are relatively large earthworks that are manually dug with primitive tools such as pickaxes and shovels to prevent tanks from attacking.

I don't know if it's because of fear, or if it's a sophisticated calculation. The anti-tank trenches of the Japanese army were dug extremely deep. This anti-tank trench was dug into a wide trench with a width of 9 meters at the top, 5 meters at the bottom, and 5 meters deep.

However, the Japanese army made a special setup here, and they piled up all the excavated earth on their side. At the same time, new fortifications were constructed using these earthworks.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Boom Boom ......Boom "The Japanese bombarded the Wehrmacht armored units on the other side of the trench in a burst of indiscriminate bombardment. Although Japanese artillery and machine-gun damage was limited, the Wehrmacht armoured units chose to temporarily evacuate these areas covered by Japanese artillery.

"Tom tom tom...... "Of course, the tank units were not withdrawn directly....... They returned fire directly at the Japanese position.

Subsequently, the infantry in the rear received information from the tank units and withdrew to a safe area to build fortifications. The tank units then withdrew from the anti-tank trench.

"Mother, these rats are these? This fucking big hole" received a report from the front position, and Song Tianlei, commander of the First Division of the Guards Armored Group Army directly under the National Defense Army, put down the binoculars and scolded his mother.

"Hahaha...... Xiao Song, aren't you deflated? A trench will block your tank, and he is angry hahahaha...... "Qi Muden gloated on the side.

This guy has been doing so many years, and he still has the virtue of wanting to give his second legion a piece when he sees shit. Yes, when he saw the power of the tank troops, he was tempted.

The dead beggar ran to Song Tianlei's armored division to grab a few companies back, which was both qualifications and coercion. In short, jumping up and down, I can't wait to swallow the entire First Panzer Division into the ranks of the Second Army.

Song Tianlei couldn't withstand Qi Mudeng's bombardment. I was forced to send a telegram to the command to explain the situation. As a result, Qi Muden was scolded from head to toe by a telegram from Tu Menghu.

Claiming that if he makes trouble again, he will transfer the Second Army back, anyway, now the commander of the Third Army Tian Jixiang is gearing up, thinking about how to mix up the credit

Qi Mudeng was frightened by this telegram, and never dared to jump up and down in front of Song Tianlei again. It's a lot more honest.

"My Commander Qi, I've said it all, I really can't be the master of this tank. Let's say you've rowed out a few tanks. The commander of our army group can strangle me ......"

"Hmph, don't scare me with Zhu Zhong's kid. When he was at the National Defense University, Lao Tzu also gave him a class" Qi Mudeng glared at him and snorted: "Lao Tzu, this is Gao Feng Liangjie, do you know?" Who said they wanted your tanks. ”

Song Tianlei nodded, indicating that he admitted that Qi Mudeng was really a high-spirited festival. In fact, I scolded in my heart, who in our entire Wehrmacht doesn't know the reputation of your big jackal?

It's really good, I eat everything except for losses, and I can't wait for shit to give the Second Legion an extra share.

Of course, no one in the Wehrmacht as a whole admits that this character is inherited from their commander-in-chief. The first to take this lead was their commander-in-chief. After the war is over, it is an old tradition of the Wehrmacht to grab the spoils of war.

From guns and ammunition, tanks, and airplanes, to copper in the belt of his trousers and gold teeth in his mouth. The Wehrmacht has never disliked. From the old fourth battalion, they learned all kinds of looting.

The rules brought by the beards of Ertou Mountain allowed them to learn to shovel the ground on the battlefield. From the old fourth battalion to the Wehrmacht, all friendly troops knew that as long as this unit passed through the battlefield, it was definitely not a drop of oil and water.

These bastards are eager to squeeze the bones of the enemy army out of oil and sell them for money, but there is no way to do it. Tu Qianjun was poor, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make more or more money. so as to improve the lives of the troops.

Fortunately, the soldiers also know the importance of the severity, and some important trophies will be handed in. And those worthless gadgets are kept for themselves, and the troops will not pursue them.

"But speaking of which, this little Japan is quite powerful, and it has only been a few days since the anti-tank trenches were dug out. also dug so well that you Xiao Song had to retreat. Qi Muden touched his chin and smiled.

"Interesting, kind of interesting"

Qi Muden found it interesting, but the Japanese commander on the other side found it very boring. Shouichi Terauchi knows. This anti-tank trench can only last for a while.

He didn't expect the anti-tank trench to be able to completely resist the Wehrmacht's attack, after all, they had air superiority. As long as the air force is used as cover, the trench will be cleared after three or two heavy artillery bombardments.

"Chirp...... Boom Boom Boom ......Boom "Sure enough, after a while, the Wehrmacht's Second Artillery Corps arrived at the designated position and began to bombard the Japanese anti-tank trenches.

The Japanese positions were suddenly filled with gunsmoke. And rockets are meant to be covered shots. The rockets that blasted directly covered the Japanese positions behind the anti-tank trenches and the entire tank trench.

Those positions where the earthwork is piled up, even if they are smashed tightly, are still made of loose soil. In front of the rockets, these positions are like papier-mâché.

It was a mess in three or two blows, but the anti-tank trenches of the Japanese army were already blown up after an hour of artillery fire. The original vertical earthwork is now completely collapsed, and there are even this trembling Japanese troops in the anti-tank trench.

After the shelling, there was constant wailing in the anti-tank trenches.

The Japanese positions were in shambles. It was only a few days, and the Japanese army spent most of its time building anti-tank trenches, and the defensive nature of the positions they had built themselves can be imagined.

"Hahaha...... It's still Lao Li's car, which is amazing," Qi Muden laughed at the Japanese anti-tank trench through the observation port.

"Xiao Song hurry up and let your troops kill it, don't give these people time to breathe"

"Yes" Song Tianlei was also excited, answered loudly, and then rushed out of the command headquarters to personally give orders to the armored troops at the front.

Qi Muden was laughing wildly, but Shouichi Terauchi wanted to cry What kind of battle was he fighting? The anti-tank trenches that were dug desperately were filled with artillery fire in two clicks.

How can this battle be fought, with some small-caliber artillery left, a bunch of soldiers who have been knocked out of their fighting spirits, half-crippled tank divisions, and those aviation units that have been broken out of their courage?

"Call the military headquarters and tell His Royal Highness about our current battle damage and situation......" Terauchi Shouichi put down the binoculars tremblingly, and said softly: "Please give tactical guidance to Your Highness, otherwise...... Otherwise, most likely, we will only have to retreat here......"

Shouichi in the temple was frightened, and at the same time, some people were frightened, and these frightened people were Wang Zhaoming and others who had triumphantly announced the establishment of the Guangzhou State Government in Guangzhou.

"Shiqun...... Do you have any views on the war in Beijing and Tianjin?" When Wang Zhaoming learned that the Wehrmacht had broken through the encirclement of the Japanese North China Front in the Beijing-Tianjin area, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

But at this time, the news of the full occupation of Wuhan by the Japanese Central China Front made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Cui, who was promoted by Wang Zhaoming, was reused for his meritorious service in guiding the Japanese army and successfully winning over Ding Mo Village. In addition to his own duties, he was appointed Deputy Director of the Special Services Headquarters of the Special Committee of the National Executive Council.

"The chairman is too worried, you must know that the imperial army is still not in full force. The main forces are all on the Central China side" Li Cui smiled and whispered to Wang Zhaoming: "As long as the problem of Chongqing is solved, when the imperial army concentrates all its strength, won't it be easy for the small three eastern provinces to clean him up?"
