When the Chinese army advanced into Singapore and surrounded the fortress of Singapore. The Japanese airbase in Kuala Lumpur had been completely used by China, and a large number of fighters and bombers had been transferred here, and in three days, this airfield could initially provide high-intensity air strikes for troops attacking Singapore.

The time for the offensive came quickly, and when Japan was not given a breather, the Chinese army itself did not rest. And in all the troops, the same slogans appeared.

"Take a break, go to Singapore to rest."

The Chinese soldiers, who were angry and murderous, had no time to rest at all. When they heard that Japanese and American agents had attacked the Chinese imperial family, seriously injuring more than a dozen Praetorian guards, all the soldiers had a layer of crazy killing intent in their hearts.

It's terrible enough for one person to be angry, and if an army of millions were completely angry, it would be invincible.

The cries of war from the north resounded throughout the sky, and the fire of war in the south burned the earth red. China's offensive has completely broken out, and heavy trucks are coming in and out of the arsenal every day, and this kind of heavy trucks with a load capacity of 30 tons can quickly and effectively transport military supplies to various airports, and some small trucks can quickly transport materials to the battlefield.

However, these huge capacities are just enough to meet the continuous high-intensity attack. Think about it, the carrying capacity of a giant spirit god can reach twelve tons, and it is still a high-intensity take-off and landing every day, and the fuel and bombs consumed are astronomical in itself. Only China has the ability to sustain such a high-intensity bombardment. Of course, the United States can also do it in a short time.

If you put the intensity of such an attack on Japan. That's absolutely impossible, it only takes three days for Japan's stocks of weapons to go to zero. Even if a powerful bomber force were given to Japan, Japan would not be able to afford to use it without follow-up assistance from other countries. Therefore, in the later World War II, the Japanese bombers were really weak.

"Battalion commander, we've reached the outskirts of Singapore!" The sky was already a little dark, and the sun, which had sunk below the surface of the sea, made the light in the sky somewhat insufficient, in front of the amphibious armored battalion. After a quick run for almost an hour. The dense forest scenery around him has gradually faded, and a looming city building has appeared in front of me.

"That's right, inform the fleet, we've rushed to the city of Singapore. A tentative attack is about to take place. Inform the infantry units behind. Don't follow too closely," the battalion commander who was sitting on the command tank, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zhonghang, shouted with some excitement. There was not a trace of exhaustion on his face.

The other tank drivers, who received the order to attack, stepped on the accelerator, put up first gear, and accelerated forward. Although there was no resistance from the Japanese along the way, the driver was impatient after an hour of boring and tedious driving, but after hearing the order to attack, all the drivers immediately became as excited as if they had taken stimulants.

However, it was not the Chinese soldiers who fired first, but the Japanese soldiers who found the Chinese tank figure firing first. Japanese artillery fired shells at the amphibious armored battalion, trying to deal with the Chinese amphibious tanks that had come all the way to get here.

The anti-aircraft guns installed inside the city wall began to roar, and some of the Japanese soldiers who felt like they were soldiers began to shoot at the same time as soon as they saw the figure of the Chinese tank, as if they had suddenly forgotten the common sense of hiding firepower.

The attacking amphibious armored battalion was soon within range of the anti-aircraft guns, and the twenty-four tanks were accompanied by a constant stream of shells. The bumpy road surface and non-stop explosions made the tank crew in the cab sway from side to side. Although their bodies were tightly fastened to their respective seats by the seat belts, they still felt a little uncomfortable from the constant jolting. If it weren't for the fact that they had gone through years of training, an ordinary person would be able to vomit out stomach acid in two or three strokes in such a small space, up and down.

"Battalion commander, do you need to call the Air Force to counterattack the Japanese artillery?" The deputy battalion commander asked Lin Zhonghang, although the Japanese army did not fire much ammunition, but when the shells fell on your side, it made you uncomfortable. This kind of beating is not pleasant.

"No, the sun has set now. Even if an airplane approached, it would be difficult to find a target in the dark. Rather than wasting fuel on the planes, it was better to spread out and dodge the Japanese shells. Lin Zhongjiao vetoed the deputy battalion commander's suggestion. Entering the battle with a vengeful heart, he needs to fire the first shot of the attack on Singapore, opening a passage for the attacking troops behind.

As soon as the battalion commander's words fell, he suddenly felt the tank sinking, and at this time, the driver shouted: "Damn, battalion commander, this is a muddy field, and the speed of the tank has slowed down." ”

"What, isn't it a swamp? Will it affect the battle. In the jungles of Southeast Asia, he was not afraid of any Japanese means, but he was most afraid of encountering swamps, especially those large swamps. Once the tank is stuck in the swamp, there is no possibility of remediation. Unless it's to bring in the Chinese King Tiger tanks from the north and see if you can pull them out. Otherwise, they would have to abandon the tank and let it disappear into the swamp.

Even if the car hanging in the forest is an amphibious tank, which can climb mountains and wade through waters, it cannot stop the swallowing of swamps, because swamps and rivers and oceans are completely different.

"Don't worry, battalion commander, it's not a swamp, if there is a swamp here, we will also be notified by the headquarters. I guess this should be a field. But this damn mud is also a serious drag on our actions. ”

The driver's answer also made Lin Zhongjiao react, too, if there is a swamp here, there is no reason why they have not received information, after all, such a big battle, pre-war intelligence work is the top priority. Plus, this is Singapore, and in front of the city walls, how can there be a swamp.

However, as the driver said, even if it is not a swamp, too much mud can seriously hinder the speed and mobility of the tank. In particular, the Japanese are attacking them, and under such circumstances, tanks, which have greatly reduced their mobility capabilities, will become a live target for the Japanese army.

Other tanks at this time faced the same problem, the tracks rolled in the mud. Although there are certain force points and friction, there is no sticky force on hard ground, and the speed of the tank is greatly weakened.

In the city of Singapore, the gates of the city were quietly opened in the dark, and the avenues out of the city were already filled with new Japanese tanks painted with plaster flags, and the battle of the 4th main battle tank weighing 30 tons was already placed. Of course, the main battle tank is the Japanese name, and in the international arena, such a tank can only be planned as a medium tank. However, there is a more advanced tank in Japan. That's the Type 5 tank. A real main battle tank with a total combat weight of almost forty tons.

"Gentlemen, the hateful people of China, are trying in vain to drive us out of Southeast Asia and occupy the land that the Imperial Army has bought with their lives." Wing Captain Ueno Shinki, Wing Commander of the 79th Tank Wing, stands on the Wing's No. 1 tank. Look at the winged armored soldiers gathered around. Hatred said: "To defend the results of the empire." To maintain the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, we must crush China's offensive. ”

All the tanks of the 79th Tank Wing gathered on the field, and there was silence. Only the voice of Wing Captain Ueno Shinzi echoed in the air.

"The hateful Shina have driven us into a desperate situation, and now they are coming from outside the city, and if they break through our defenses, then Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and southern Burma, our imperial army, which is still fighting bloodily, will become a turtle in the urn." Ueno Shinzi said: "In front of us, there are Chinese amphibious tanks with majestic faces, and we will use the most powerful chariots of the empire to wipe them out in the fields outside, and we can't let them get close to the walls of Singapore!" Greater East Asia Jihad, onboard! Your Majesty the Emperor, onboard! ”

"Great East Asia Jihad, onboard! Your Majesty the Emperor, onboard! "The officers and men of the 79th Tank Wing were all inspired and full of fighting spirit.

"Now, get on the tank and destroy those hateful Shina people!" Ueno Shinzi ordered.

"Destroy the people of China." The armored corps of the 79th Tank Wing, on the tank, started the motor.

"Boom, boom!" One after another, the tanks, with black smoke coming out of the rear, started smoothly, and in battle sequence, drove out of Singapore, which had opened the city gates, and advanced towards the field that had become.

Ueno Shinzi got into the armored command vehicle behind him, followed behind the Type 4 tank group, and marched with the tank formation. His words were very inflammatory, but he himself knew that with the current defense force in Singapore, he would not be able to resist China for long.

Three tank brigades, a total of thirty-six tanks, were all dispatched. Because the more time passes, the less advantage they will have, driven by China's powerful offensive. The Chinese army has reached Singapore, these armored troops have not relaxed at all, no soldier is allowed to take a vacation, the combat vehicles are also well maintained, and each vehicle is guaranteed to have sufficient ammunition, full of fuel, and is in a state of being ready to go out at any time.

In this way, the 79th Tank Wing set a new record for the Japanese army, and within fifteen minutes, knowing that enemy armored units were coming, it was ready to go out and march to the theater of operations.

The Type 4 tank held its barrel high and was constantly jolting and undulating. Several armored reconnaissance vehicles, quickly passing the entire ranks, drove forward, and their task was to guide the attack positions for the tank units behind in the dark. The tracks of the Type 3 armored reconnaissance vehicle, which first drove into the swamp.

The 30-ton Type 4 tank followed into the mud field, and suddenly, the engine felt a lot of labor, and the driver lowered the gear, but still had to bang the throttle to be sure that he would not fall too into the mud.

At this moment, the Type 3 armored reconnaissance vehicle was already in the light of the fire of the battle defense artillery and saw the Chinese tank in the distance.

However, at this moment the 79 Tank Wing did not know that the moment they walked out of the city gates, their figure had already fallen into the eyes of the amphibious armored battalion. In the infrared night vision device, the shape of this new Japanese tank is completely imprinted in the eyes of the Chinese amphibious armored forces.

"Little Japan's tanks are out, and they're all new guys, ready to fight!" Lin Zhong hung in the car channel and shouted, "The target is still two kilometers away, pay attention to aim, as long as the other party is close, immediately fire." Lin Zhong hung in the radio and commanded, and after shouting just now, he started the radio.

At the same time, he picked up another radio microphone and shouted: "Report to the division commander, I am the first armored battalion of the third regiment, and our unit has encountered the enemy's tanks, and our unit has encountered the enemy's tanks. Please note that we are facing a new Japanese tank. ”

The tank hanging in the forest is a command vehicle, so there are two radios, one with a smaller power and a range of only 20 kilometers, which is responsible for communicating with all the combat vehicles below, and the other with a large power, enough to cover a range of 100 kilometers, and is responsible for communicating with superiors.

So, there are two whip antennas in the rear of the tank, and the combat vehicles of the lower class have only one radio, but in order to confuse the enemy, all tanks have two antennas, and one antenna is useless. Otherwise, when fighting, the opponent only needs to aim at the tank with two antennas, and one dozen will be the command vehicle.

"Did you get fired?" On the radio, a reply from the division headquarters soon came.

"Back to the divisional headquarters, we have not yet exchanged fire with enemy tanks." Lin Zhonghang replied quickly.

"When the next firefight, pay attention to collecting local tank data."

"Understood." After Lin Zhonghang finished speaking, he approached the periscope-type shimmer sight. He did not pay attention to the battle anti-aircraft guns in the walls of the Japanese city, but looked at the Japanese tanks, which were already less than a thousand and a half hundred meters away from them.

"The first and second companies are prepared, and the tail is stabilized and the armor-piercing shells are destroyed, and when it is 1,200 meters, the opponent is destroyed. The third company began to attack the walls of Singapore, suppressing the opponent's firepower. Lin Zhonghang commanded.

At this time, the tank had increased its horsepower to its maximum horsepower, and the hydraulic motor drove the turret and rotated to the direction where the Japanese 79th Tank Wing was coming, and the commander had already tracked the opponent's route through the periscope low-light sight of the fire control system.

The 79th Tank Wing also began to follow the help of the Type 3 armored reconnaissance vehicles, and at this time, several flares were fired in succession from the walls of Singapore, revealing the Chinese amphibious tanks in the fields in the distance from the darkness.

It was all dark before, and Japan did not have any low-light sights or night vision devices, so it could only rely on the guidance of reconnaissance armored vehicles. Now the Japanese troops on the city walls helped them to shoot flares, and for the first time the 79 tank wing saw what its own enemy was like.

But they saw a very terrifying scene, most of the tank turrets in China had been turned, and the faint openings on the barrels were aimed at their positions. (To be continued......)
