Chapter 1047: Killing (I)
In Berlin, Germany, Hitler was holding a letter in his office, with a complicated face. This is a handwritten letter from China written by Tu Mengben, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces.
It was brought back from China by Gerhard and Franz and handed over to Hitler in person. Upon learning that the negotiations had failed, Hitler was furious and wanted to turn over the table, but after reading the letter, he was silent.
In this letter, Tu Menghu said to Hitler:
Personally, I greatly respect and hope for a broader and deeper cooperation between China and Germany. But from a practical point of view, we have to admit that there are big differences between China and Germany.
And the biggest disagreement between us is the day. When the war against China was waged on that day and my compatriots were slaughtered on my soil, we were destined to have only one war between us and Japan.
That's what I think, that's what the Supreme Council of our coalition government thinks. Even the entire 3 million soldiers of the National Defense Force and the 40,000 compatriots of the whole of China all think so.
There is no compromise between us and Japan. I remembered the first time I met the Führer, when I was only the head of a warlord in a land, but I had the privilege of meeting the Führer and talking to him. What an honor!
Since then, our cooperation has also started to get on the right track. From Tiger tanks, Tiger Shark fighters, to our smelting, chemicals, machinery, raw materials...... and so on, we have carried out extensive cooperation.
For a long time, there were no differences between China and Germany. Even if we declared war on Japan, we did not mention Germany. Germany, too, did not speak of us when it declared war on the United States.
It's a way we value our friendship, but we probably all know it in our hearts. One day we will have to face the reality that Germany will not be able to give up its days as an ally. And China will not be able to compromise with Japan.
Therefore, our friendship can only stop there temporarily. The assurances that I was able to make to the Führer were. The units of the Chinese Wehrmacht were not going to take the initiative to attack the Germans on the battlefields of the USSR.
And I am sure that the Führer understood very well that now the German army in the war of the Soviet army is no longer against the Soviet Union as a country. The German army had to face the Allied forces, including Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union.
The brutality of war will greatly exceed the intensity of the European battlefield. If Germany fails, all I can do is to preserve German territory as much as possible......
To tell the truth, Hitler was going to be angry when he saw this. But at this time news came from the front that the German armored units were stopped outside Moscow, and the forces blocking them were none other than the British and American troops!
Only then did Hitler keep a calm face and not get angry on the spot. After reading the letter several times, Hitler finally went to the fireplace. Dropped the letter straight into the fireplace.
"Tell Haggart and Franz that they never brought me any letters. They went to China, just to negotiate. After the negotiations failed, they returned. Nothing else was done. Got it?! ”
"Hey! Hitler! The secretary replied loudly, and though he was puzzled, the secretary chose to obey the Führer's orders.
After the secretary left. Hitler shut himself up in his study alone, not allowing anyone to disturb him. At this time, he suddenly had a trace of doubt, can we really win this war......
Previously, there was a lot of confidence in defeating Hitler in the Soviet Union. And the whole of Germany also had great confidence, but now that they learned that the British and American troops had entered the Soviet Union on a large scale, their confidence was fading.
If there is no one who is most familiar with the German army among the Allies, it is the British army. They had fought against each other in Europe, soldiers and officers who survived. All are servicemen with extensive combat experience.
In terms of advanced equipment, there is no doubt that the US military will come out on top. The frightening productivity of the United States is not just talk, and they are now producing warships at the rate of one cruiser a month.
As for the fighter planes, the American factory can provide more than 3,000 aircraft per month. Although the agreement between the allies and China has not been fully announced. But Hitler had his own channels and knew that China was sending large numbers of laborers to the vast territories, including Canada and the Soviet Union, for cooperative mining.
At the same time, the United States is responsible for the supply of mining equipment and smelting equipment. With the guarantee of raw materials, Hitler could not imagine how much output China and the United States could produce!
"Didn't we capture hundreds of thousands of Soviets?! These people don't go to waste. Send them to oil wells and mines right away. Now we need these, Germany needs these! "At an emergency meeting. Hitler said to the Nazi hierarchy.
"As much as you can mine, you can bring it back to Germany. We must speed up the production of fighters, tanks and warships, and if my estimate is correct, then the Chinese will soon launch a major battle in Southeast Asia to settle the day. ”
As he spoke, Hitler paused, and suddenly gave a strange order. He gave no reason for this command, nor did he mention any reason. And the entire Nazi top brass did not dare to raise objections because of his high personal prestige.
"If the squadron entered the USSR, then our troops should not attack them on their own initiative. Of course, if they try to attack us, then I authorize you to fight back. ”
This order made these generals a little baffled, but everyone still got up.
Hope...... I hope Germany will win this most difficult battle, Hitler sighed in his heart. If it fails, let's hope the tiger will do what he says. Of course, if we win, then I'll consider keeping your rights......
"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! ......Five minutes after the Wehrmacht announced that it would send troops into the Soviet theater "at an appropriate time" to "assist" the Allied forces in the battle, all the troops of the Wehrmacht Southeast Asian Theater on the front line of Annam launched a strong attack on the Japanese positions without warning.
Wehrmacht shelling and bombardment had been going on for some time, and the Japanese chose to withdraw their troops from their positions in order to reduce the attrition of their troops, and replaced them with a part of the surveillance force.
In the beginning, these surveillance troops were quite dedicated. But after being bombarded for several days and losing dozens of people, they also learned to hide during the shelling.
In any case, the Wehrmacht did not attack, it was enough to report to the command after the shelling that there were no Wehrmacht units in front. But this time. They miscalculated.
Tu Sancang took advantage of the night to gather the vanguard landing force to the riverside and conceal it, and at the same time as the shelling, a large number of assault boats directly took advantage of the smoke of gunpowder to go straight to the opposite bank!
"See?! Lao Tzu bombarded him for a few days, and these gangs of squirrels were frightened. If it weren't for my shells for the next few days, we would have to pay at least two or three thousand casualties before we could get to the other side. ”
Pao Ye put down the binoculars and said with a smile: "If we attack so suddenly, no matter how stupid we are, we will know how to block the river with artillery fire." It will take time for our artillery to discover their position, and it will take time to return fire. This time and again, our soldiers will die a lot......"
"It's a loss for business. I won't do it if I slaughter three cannons! I feel distressed when one of my soldiers dies. Even if these gangs are dead, Lao Tzu frowned. Tell the brethren to kill these gangsters! ”
"Yes!!" Long Rope Ancestor was very excited, although he had also worked under Tu Sanpao in the past. But he watched Tu Sancang command the battle at such a close distance. At the same time, I also got explanations and guidance, but it was the first time!
Even in the entire Wehrmacht, there are very few people who have experienced him like this. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as half of the apprentice of the cannon master. That's a lot of money.
"Rope Ancestor, don't be idle, you kid. Bring the second echelon up, all of them are your former Dian army people. Don't give your father in Yunnan Province, don't embarrass your father. Fight well! ”
"Yes!!" The dragon rope ancestor's eyes were red. The only sentence that his father confessed when he went to the battlefield was: Don't embarrass the fathers and elders in central Yunnan, don't make people laugh at us, the Yunnan army can't fight.
This sentence has always been imprinted in his heart. Every time he goes to the battlefield, he thinks more about his own life and death, but about not letting the Dian army and his old father not be able to raise his head.
Charge into battle. The Dragon Rope Ancestor has never been left behind. The bullet marks on his body are all on his chest and never on the back. It is precisely because of this that Tu Sancang made an exception to take him with him and personally explained his strategic layout and tactical thinking to him.
Of course, the gun master will definitely not know these terms such as strategic arrangement and tactical thinking. In the opinion of the cannon master. It's just a simple war. Find out what the other party thinks, and then dig a hole for him according to his ideas.
In then. He was buried alive. This is what the gun master thinks of fighting.
"Nani?! The Wehrmacht has already rushed to the ground ?! How is this possible?! Didn't we have a garrison wing in the forward position?! Why didn't there be any reporting?! ”
Sugiyama Moto's face suddenly jumped up, and the position he had carefully arranged was broken like this, and everyone would be angry.
"Your Excellency, Commander, as a result of the constant shelling of the Wehrmacht, the forward divisions have suffered heavy losses. So they didn't place all their troops in the positions, they just placed observation posts without troops......"
"Red Deer Noro! These idiots are committing crimes!! Sugiyama Gen was immediately angry, he directly dropped the teacup in his hand and roared: "Order the troops to concentrate their firepower to clear out those landing Wehrmacht troops, and the artillery division will immediately go to support, and the nearest artillery brigade of the fourth position will immediately go to support!" The Wehrmacht must not be allowed to gain a foothold in the positions! ”
"Order the army to take to the air and assist in the battle! Request tactical assistance from the Navy to allow their shallow-water heavy gunboats to assist in the operation before entering the Weijiang front of our army......"
Sugiyama gave seven or eight orders in one breath, and then he put on his military hat and went to the front.
But just as he entered the forward observation post of Position No. 1, where he was fighting the Wehrmacht, the telegraph soldier ran in with a pale face and a telegram in a gust of wind.
"Your Excellency, Commander, Position 4 is in an emergency! Half an hour earlier, the Wehrmacht had launched a surprise attack on Position No. 4, using a large number of artillery and assault boats, in an attempt to force a landing operation......"
Sugiyama Moto's face was extremely exciting, and he couldn't help but gasp when he grabbed the telegram. The Wehrmacht did launch an attack on Position 4, which was relatively weaker than Position 1, but it was not at all a problem for these units to break through Position 4, which had only a small amount of artillery.
"Red Deer...... Where exactly is the direction of the Wehrmacht's main attack?! Sugiyama Moto's face was cloudy, and the two positions No. 1 and No. 4 were the key positions of the Japanese defense.
These two Weijiang positions have a certain tidal flat, and the river surface between the two banks is relatively narrow, and it is easier to be crossed and fought than other positions.
Therefore, these two positions have always been the key defensive positions of the Japanese army. And comparatively speaking, position No. 4 is easier to land than position No. 1. Early in the morning, Sugiyama Mototo, a brigade of artillery units was placed there. In order to prevent a surprise attack by the Wehrmacht.
But what Sugiyama didn't expect was that the first wave of the Wehrmacht's attack turned out to be the fourth position. But it's also a matter of course to think about it. Position No. 4, although relatively difficult to attack, has been shelled here by the Wehrmacht for several days.
The firing points that should have been identified have been figured out, and most of the fortifications have either been destroyed or are close to collapse. Although it was more difficult to attack than the No. 1 position, at the same time there was relatively little artillery.
There were two natural heights on either side of the tidal flats of Position No. 4, and a large number of firing points and fortifications were placed on the high and low levels of the Japanese army. If the Wehrmacht had landed directly, they would have been confronted first by crossfire from these two heights.
There was no shelter on the tidal flats, except for some mines and obstacles laid by the Japanese army. It's almost a live target.
However, the Wehrmacht had a different ingenuity, first using a large amount of artillery bombardment to force the Japanese to withdraw from their positions and not to carry out surveillance under artillery fire. This was followed by a landing in the smoke of gunfire, the roar of artillery and the sound of explosions.
Undoubtedly, they did the right thing and succeeded. The Japanese were deceived and allowed them to successfully ascend the tidal flats. And when those observation posts on the Japanese positions reacted. Wehrmacht fighters had already occupied the most advanced positions on the heights on both sides of the Japanese army.
With these positions, it would not be difficult for the landing force to temporarily hold down the observation posts of the positions, which were less than 100 men. Behind them, a steady stream of troops landed on the tidal flats and spread out.
"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! "The Wehrmacht artillery did not stop roaring, they fired extended fire, and the artillery fire covered directly behind the position.......
Heavy artillery fire prevented the Japanese support, although the Japanese artillery also reacted at this time and began shelling the river and their own forward positions. But by this time it was too late......
"Quick! Immediately take up the position and set up the machine guns! Fast!! Luo Jia, the company commander on the position, roared loudly and led his soldiers to continuously rush towards the Japanese position.
The remaining Japanese observation posts in the positions kept pulling their light machine guns, trying to stop Luo Jia and their attack.
"Chirp...... Rumble!! The Fire Raven 40mm individual rockets that entered the position with the company played their due role at this time, and the Fire Raven directly killed the machine gunners on the Japanese position two hundred meters away.
"Rush!" Luo Jia didn't say a word, and with the soldiers around him, he rushed along the skirmish line towards the Japanese position. The fighters who followed behind broke through about 100 meters, and then directly threw grenades at the Japanese positions with grenadiers.
In the rear, the Hand Raven B 40mm Soldier Rocket Launchers are rapidly reloading rockets. And ready to launch again at any time.
"Da ......" As the light machine gunners and automatic rifles rushed up in the company, they also began to suppress the Japanese position, and those Japanese soldiers who tried to regain the light machine guns or took the lead were almost all defeated.
Luo Jia, on the other hand, led his company to constantly break through to the Japanese position, and after a while, the Japanese had to choose to jump out of the position and engage them in short combat.
"!!" Luo Jia roared, and without saying a word, he drew his saber and threw himself at the nearest Japanese soldier. The warriors beside him also roared, drew their folding sapper shovels, and threw them off with a "click" and pounced.
About white-knuckle combat. The Wehrmacht carried out comprehensive research and analysis very early on. Just the routine of using sappers to shovel and kill the enemy, because of the research of three sets.
The brothers Ma Fengtu and Ma Yingtu of the former Northwest Army, Li Shu, a grandmaster-level figure of Bajiquan, and Tu Sancang, who has been in battle for a long time, etc. These people have never stopped studying the white-knuckle warfare of the Japanese army.
Infantry drill of the Japanese army. Almost all of them have pondered over and over again more than a hundred times. After combining the actual situation, the characteristics of the sapper shovel and the characteristics of the Japanese army's white-knuckle warfare, they compiled three sets of routines specially used for the white-knuckle warfare of the sapper shovel.
And after the ministries reported on the results of the use of combat routines. Once again, they have been streamlined and reorganized. In the end, a set of white-knuckle combat methods were formed that were popularized throughout the Wehrmacht.
"Click!" With a crisp sound, Long Hongda directly slipped open the stomach of the Japanese army who was fighting against him. Pierced the abdominal cavity all the way, and the internal organs of the intestines were suddenly sprayed all over the ground.
The Japanese soldier screamed and tumbled to the ground, trying to pick up the fallen entrails. was laughed by Long Hongda and directly cut off his head with a shovel.
With a sound of "......", the bloody blood in the Japanese army's cavity sprayed two feet away, and after Long Hongda finished slashing and killing, he was covered in blood and chopped open a bayonet that stabbed at his comrades, looking for the next opponent again.
Long Hongda is also a distant relative of Long Yun, but he has nothing special in the army of the Wehrmacht. The same needs to be tormented in the troops below. There is no resistance to this Long Hongda, haven't you seen the son of the Long family, Long Rope Ancestor, and they are also suffering? ! What are we?!
"Company commander, let's see who will die!" Long Hongda laughed and rushed towards his company commander Luo Jia. Luo Jia didn't look back and knew that this must be Long Hongda, because only this king and eight calves would go crazy on the battlefield......
