When the Northern Expeditionary Fleet sailed out of the port of Coconut City, He Feizhou and Rommel were in the process of pre-war mobilization. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The smooth flow of information made He Feizhou know the results of the Battle of Ningbei Port and the Battle of Cam Ranh Bay for the first time, and He Feizhou launched a fierce attack on the 16th Infantry Wing and the 29th Infantry Wing under the Second Division of the Japanese Army at the first time.

Strictly speaking, there has been a generation gap between the Lanfang troops, which are already equipped with tanks and armored vehicles and the bomber units to help, and the Japanese troops, which are mainly rifles, in terms of equipment level, and the huge difference in equipment level makes the only result that when the Lanfang troops and the Japanese troops fight, the only result is that the Lanfang troops will beat the Japanese troops.

Since the 11th and 18th Divisions accelerated the pace of their attacks, there have been several cases in which Lan Fang surrounded and annihilated a wing of the Japanese army with just one regiment or even a battalion.

The reason for this situation is not that the Japanese army is too weak, but that the Lanfang army is too strong.

Since the beginning of the war, the 63rd Regiment led by He Feizhou has successively annihilated the 4th Wing and the 30th Wing under the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, ranking first in terms of record among all the troops involved in the attack in Lanfang.

"Today is estimated to be the last battle, come on, everyone, let's kill all the little devils early, let's go back to the commander to receive the reward, or two requirements, the logistics department does a good job of logistics support, the speed of the artillery company is raised, don't go to the battlefield like yesterday, the tank is lying on the ground, the infantry is about to start charging, the artillery is not ready for fire cover, pay attention today......" He Feizhou was not much nervous, and the contrast with Rommel with a serious face next to him was stark.

"Head, let's take the lead today? If we push it too fast, it's hard for Captain Qu to explain. Liu Zi'an, the commander of the second battalion, had a lot of concerns.

"Commander Qu" is Qu Feixiang, the commander of the 62nd Regiment, and the 63rd Regiment are both subordinate to the 11th Division.

The 62nd Regiment was the reserve for this war against Japan, and Qu Feixiang had a deep grudge against this, and he had protested to Xiang Ankang, the commander of the 11th Division, several times, but Xiang Ankang rejected it.

"Cut, no matter him, there is so much meat, give them the 62nd regiment, there will be no share of our 63rd regiment, if you don't want to take the lead, your second battalion will be a reserve today." He Feizhou knew very well the truth that there were more monks and less porridge, and on this issue, he didn't even want to leave the soup for the 62nd regiment.

"It is estimated that we can't advance too fast today, and the troops have little fuel left, if the fuel can't be delivered at noon, our tanks are estimated to be lying on their stomachs in the afternoon, so we must control the pace of the attack." Rommel was calm enough.

"Dare!" He Feizhou's eyes widened, and there was hatred in his tone: "If Jiang Renhui doesn't send the oil at noon, Lao Tzu will lock him up." ”

At the regimental level, Lanfang's troops had a transport company directly under the regimental headquarters, and Jiang Renhui was the commander of the transport company of the 63rd Regiment.

"It is estimated that there is no way to solve this problem, if the total rear fuel is enough, the transportation company would have been transported a long time ago." Rommel was still not in a hurry.

The more machinery a force uses, the more dependent it is on logistics. Lanfang's army is equipped with a lot of mechanized equipment, whether it is tanks or armored vehicles, all of them are oil tigers, and the amount of fuel needed is not ordinary.

However, the Northern Frontier itself does not produce oil, so all the oil needed in the Northern Frontier must be transported from Lanfang itself, which increases the difficulty of logistical support.

After the war between Lanfang and Japan, because of the strength of the Japanese warships, Lanfang's local supply to the Northern Frontier has been interrupted, and now the oil used in the Northern Frontier is still stored before the war, although there is no oil crisis at present, but the Northern Frontier Command has begun to limit the supply of oil.

Speaking of which, by extension, the higher the degree of modernization, the stronger the central government's control over the military. For example, the Lanfang army in the Northern Xinjiang Region is indeed powerful, but if Chen Kangjian has any careful thoughts, as long as Qin Zhiyuan interrupts the supply to the Northern Xinjiang Region, the troops in the Northern Xinjiang Region will be in chaos without a fight.

Of course, with the relationship between Chen Kangjian and Qin Zhiyuan, the probability of this happening is not large.

"It's okay, fight according to the normal rhythm, even if our tanks and armored vehicles lie down, just with the quality of our troops, we are sure to drive the little devils into the sea." After this period of training, He Feizhou has been full of confidence.

In fact, He Feizhou has never lacked self-confidence, what he lacks is only his understanding of the Japanese army.

To be sure, the Japanese army is indeed good in Asia, but it is still incomparable to the Lanfang army, which has been honed by the world war.

If you have to compare them together, then the gap between the Japanese army and the Lanfang army is about the same as the gap between the Republic of China army and the Japanese army.

He Feizhou now has enough self-confidence that if it is a frontal battle, there should be no problem for a division of the 63rd Regiment to resist the Japanese army, and even if it cannot completely annihilate the Japanese troops, at least it can maintain a situation of neither winning nor losing.

At this point, Rommel and He Feizhou felt about the same.

During this time, Rommel's understanding of Lanfang's army was gradually deepening.

The more he learned, the more Rommel could feel the excellence of Lanfang's army.

This kind of excellence is not only reflected in the well-trained soldiers of Lanfang and the strong support of the army, but also in the operational concept of the Lanfang troops.

All along, Rommel's military education was discipline and obedience, which was the first lesson that all German soldiers received when they joined the army. But in Lanfang, the requirements for discipline and obedience are more flexible, allowing commanders to play freely within a general framework, which gives front-line commanders full freedom and gives front-line commanders more space.

For example, in this operation against Japan, the Northern Frontier Command only put forward the campaign objectives, and the specific operation was left to the 11th and 18th Divisions to play freely, and the Northern Frontier Command did not make hard requirements.

It was the same when it came to the 11th Division, only the battle objectives were proposed to Ankang, and the specific fighting was left to the staff of the 63rd Regiment to decide.

Obviously, this approach is more conducive to mobilizing the motivation of front-line commanders.

Rommel saw these things in his eyes and kept them in his heart, and Rommel was convinced that one day, these things would definitely come in handy.

After the meeting, the 63rd Regiment launched an attack according to the plan of the General Staff, and the target of the attack was the remnants of the 16th Infantry Wing and the 29th Infantry Wing of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army.

The reason why it is said to be a remnant is because in the operation some time ago, the only two infantry wings of the second division have suffered heavy losses several times one after another, and now the remnants of the two companies together are probably only as many as a complete wing.

An infantry wing of the Japanese army had less than 2,000 soldiers, while the 63rd Regiment still had nearly 3,000 soldiers and lost less than 500 people.

The infantry attack of the 63rd Regiment was a standard infantry and tan coordination, which was also the most familiar attack method of Lan Fang's army.

The tank takes the lead, clearing the obstacles on the way for the infantry, the infantry protects the tank from advancing, prevents the enemy from approaching the tank to attack, and pulls out a Lanfang soldier at will.

Before joining the Lanfang army, even a military instructor like Rommel had never been in contact with Butan, which shows how shocked Rommel was by the Lanfang army.

In fact, after a few days of attacking, the 63rd Regiment was about to reach the southernmost tip of Sakhalin Island, which was only more than 40 kilometers away from Japan's Hokkaido, and this was the Soya Strait.

But these 40 kilometers are destined to become a moat for the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Divisions.

After the Battle of Ningbei Port, the Northern Fleet sent destroyers to block the Soya Strait, and the Japanese Navy, which had already suffered heavy losses and was unable to counterattack for a while, was now unable to open the Soya Strait, so the 2nd Division, the 3rd Division, and the 5th Division had nowhere to escape except to jump into the sea.

With the roar of the tanks of the 63rd Regiment, the spontaneously organized resistance of the Japanese army, which had become unorganized, collapsed one after another.

The command center of the Second Division had already been shattered in a bombing by the Lanfang bomber unit the day before yesterday, and the current resistance was only a spontaneous act of Japanese soldiers, not an organized resistance.

Even if it was an organized resistance, it could not withstand the impact of the Lanfang tank troops, and the Japanese soldiers had not tried this, and the 30th Wing had tried it this way.

"Brothers, keep it up, I already smell the sea......" Tom Warren was still active.

"You can smell that?" Chen Wenyao felt incredible.

"Is there anything strange about that? My home is by the sea, and I am familiar with the smell of the sea breeze. Tom Warren explained proudly.

"Okay, I came out of the ravine" Chen Wenyao was a little envious of Tom Warren's nose sensitivity.

"Over there, go up to that hillside and take a look, maybe there's a windfall." In addition to the sea breeze, Tom Warren smelled something else.

Tom Warren is a scout and doesn't need to move with a group, so Tom Warren has a lot of freedom and can command his tuke around.

For these little guys, the fuel problem is not a problem, a tank needs fuel for an hour, and it can be driven for three days by handing it over to a three-wheeled motorcycle.

The soldiers on the three-wheeled motorcycles drove up the hill as Tom Warren had ordered, but the car was not yet stable, and the two people in the car were petrified.

On this side of the mountain is not the sea that Tom Warren imagined, but the corpses that litter the mountain, men and women, old and young, of all ages, some of them soldiers in military uniforms, and some civilians in civilian clothes.

The deaths are even more bizarre, such as shooting themselves, committing suicide by disembowelment, wiping their necks, hitting stones, hanging themselves in the woods, and so on, and some of the corpses are in a circle on the ground, apparently killed by grenades.

Tom Warren simply estimated that there were at least 5,000 corpses on this hillside, which was a mass suicide, and they were not willing, judging by the painful expressions and tear stains on the faces of some of the corpses.

Suicide!

Who would willingly?
