Chapter 566: Landing on the Japanese mainland
Preparations have been made for the attack on the Japanese mainland, and preparations are currently being made for the attack on the Japanese army in Siberia, and the staff officers of the military research department of the Chinese military have already studied the characteristics of the Japanese thoroughly, and the staff officers believe that the Japanese are very good at defense, for example, in the battle to recover Arthur, the Japanese are extremely good at civil engineering, and they use a lot of manpower and material resources to hollow out some mountains with natural defensive effects, and dig a large number of tunnels inside the mountain. And dig underground bunkers in the front of the defense, and deploy heavy firepower such as machine guns in the underground bunkers.
Now that the Japanese are on the defensive, and the conditions are extremely limited, they can only try their best to make use of the natural geographical advantages and barriers, so that these natural barriers can play an important role in defensive battles, for which the Chinese intelligence department has discovered these moves of the Japanese army in Japan mainland and Siberia.
In order to deal with the characteristics of the Japanese this gopher, the Chinese military industrial enterprises specially developed a weapon to deal with this defensive measure, the first is the flamethrower, this flamethrower can spray more than ten meters of flame, the temperature is super high, once it is sprayed, the target will be on fire in an instant, this flamethrower is mainly used to kill and destroy the enemy's living forces, destroy the exposed or hidden enemy fortifications and equipment, the flamethrower can spew out the incendiary fire column along the trenches and tunnels to turn, invade, splash, Adhesion and burning, reaching places that are difficult to reach by ordinary ammunition, so it is particularly suitable for mountain, island, tunnel, cave and trench warfare, because the flamethrower has the burning, arson, jumping, splashing and mental deterrent effect that other direct-fire weapons do not have, so it occupies a special position and role on the ground battlefield.
In fact, both the Allies and the Central Powers were already using flamethrowers in combat by this time, and France and Italy were equipped with light flamethrowers in 1914. The Germans also fought with flamethrowers in 1915, and the results were very good. As a result, countries are scrambling to develop their own flamethrowers.
The second type is the burrowing bomb. The use of a delayed fuse, the warhead warhead of a special material, the tail has an incendiary thruster, the penetration performance is stronger than that of ordinary artillery shells, as an aerial bomb dropped from the bomber. Due to gravity, the bomb is falling faster and faster, and the air rubs against the tail and detonates the propeller fuel inside, making the bomb have a faster speed and burrow into the ground after falling. But when it stops underground, the bomb won't explode until the time comes.
The third type, napalm incendiary bombs, this thing is like a devil out of hell, it is too lethal, it can produce a high-temperature flame when it explodes, and it is filled with a gelatinous substance made of gasoline and other chemicals, and when it explodes, it sputters around, emitting a high temperature of about 1,000 degrees Celsius. And it can stick to other objects and burn for a long time. The napalm that splashes on people after the napalm explodes is like lard paste, viscous and resistant to burning. If a person uses his hands to slap the fire more and more, if he rolls on the ground to extinguish the fire, the whole body will be on fire, and this kind of incendiary bomb also adds an accelerant - white phosphorus, which will leave a large amount of highly toxic chemicals after burning in the human epidermis, and enter the blood through the open wound of the burn wound, causing blood poisoning of the wounded.
On November 12, China launched an attack on the Japanese mainland. 10 a.m. The naval task force transported two infantry divisions to land in Fukuoka in the north of the Japanese island of Kyushu and Miyazaki in the south, and the Japanese defenders did not expect the Chinese side to land in both places at the same time. The Japanese army's deployment on Kyushu Island was about to be readjusted, but it was too late at this time. Two divisions of the Chinese Army launched an offensive immediately after the landing in Fukuoka and Miyazaki, and the intensity of the attack was very strong. Not only did naval guns provide high-powered artillery support, but also a large number of warplanes in the sky carried out aerial bombardment.
With the cooperation of the navy, army, and air force, the infantry rushed to the beach and landed almost without much stubborn resistance. In spite of this, the Japanese will to fight collapsed under the large number of naval guns and aerial bombardment of the Chinese army, the Japanese troops stationed in the two places suffered heavy casualties, and before the infantry of the two sides made contact, the Japanese defensive troops were reimbursed by the naval guns and fighter planes, and the Japanese army deployed a division in Miyaki and Fukuoka, and when the Chinese infantry rushed to the beach, the Japanese defensive positions were already covered with corpses, and the remaining Japanese soldiers were hiding in the trenches trembling.
In view of the fact that Japan is an island country, and the terrain is not suitable for large tank group operations, so this landing in Japan, Xu Shaozhen only needed armored vehicle troops, in the beach landing battle in Fukuoka, after the transport ship transported the armored personnel carrier to the shore, the soldiers got into the armored car, the armored car drove into the knee-high sea water and rushed onto the beach, and some infantry followed behind the armored car with weapons to avoid the bullets fired by the Japanese on the coastal defense line.
The Japanese soldiers who were not dead were lying in the trenches and saw the dark green mixed moving monsters rushing down from the boats, many Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they screamed, many Japanese soldiers dropped their weapons and turned around and jumped out of the trenches and ran, the Japanese officers were so angry that they shot and killed some of the Japanese soldiers who had fled before they could stabilize the situation. At this time, many Japanese people are still very superstitious, and they have never seen this kind of moving steel monster, how can they not be afraid? In the Middle East theater, both the German and Ottoman armies were scared to the point of urine, not to mention the Japanese.
The Japanese soldiers who were suppressed had to suppress their panic, and under the command of the officers, they used the 38-type rifles to shoot at the steel monster rushing towards them.
The Japanese soldiers were stunned one by one, and then someone kept gasping, what kind of monster is this, even striding in with bullets? The Japanese soldiers were even more scared, and once they were afraid, they would panic, and after they panicked, they would be in a hurry, and the soldiers who had good shooting skills in the past were all shooting at this time.
Those armored vehicles were very fast, and after a while, they rushed to twenty meters in front of the trenches of the first line of defense of the Japanese army, and before the armored vehicles stopped, some grenades were thrown out from behind the armored vehicles, and these grenades fell very accurately in the Japanese trenches, after a random explosion, a large number of Chinese soldiers rushed out from behind the armored vehicles, and they rushed into the Japanese trenches with rifles, and the explosions had just ended, and the Japanese soldiers who had not been killed in the trenches were all dizzy at this time, The Chinese soldiers jumped into the trenches and stabbed a sharp spear bayonet into the body of the Japanese soldier who was not yet dead, and shot him a little further away.
"Hurry up, fill up the trench in front of you for a section and let the armored car pass!" The soldier operating the machine gun on the armored vehicle shouted loudly.
In less than five minutes, a small section of the trench that could be used for the armored vehicle was filled in, and the Japanese soldiers in the first line of defense were almost cleaned by the infantry.
"Let's go, let's go, stop playing, if you haven't killed yet, hurry up and get killed, keep up!" The squad leader saw that the armored vehicles had cleared the trenches, waved and shouted, at this time the sappers had already carried the sapper shovels into the armored vehicles again, and the infantrymen followed after solving the Japanese soldiers in the first trench, and the squad leader organized them to follow behind the armored vehicles so as not to be hit by bullets fired by the Japanese soldiers in the second line of defense.
The squad leader saw a soldier following behind the armored car with a rifle and a cigarette in his mouth, and immediately stepped forward and slapped the soldier on the back of the head and scolded: "Gu Ba, if you don't smoke, you'll die, now in the war, you smoke too, smoke your uncle, hurry up and throw it away!" ”
Gu Ba was beaten and didn't get angry, his feet didn't stop, but he turned his head and said with a smile: "Squad leader, don't, my old Gu is just this bite, you can not eat rice, and your daughter-in-law can not marry, but this cigarette can't be smoked, it's my life, you don't let me smoke, isn't this equivalent to my life?" ”
The squad leader shook his head when he heard this, and scolded: "You, sooner or later you have to die on this cigarette, I can't help you, after this battle, you can apply for retirement yourself, don't let Lao Tzu go to the top to reflect, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be a wicked person."
"Don't, don't!" Gu Ba immediately cried with a sad face, "Squad leader, you know that I have an eighty old mother to support at home, you let me retire, what will I do to support my old mother!" ”
The squad leader said with a straight face: "If you want to continue to work, you must quit smoking for Lao Tzu, others smoke and moderation, but you smoke day and night, even the iron man can't stand it, okay, it's decided, look ahead, don't be choked to death by the smoke but killed by the bullet of the little devil!" ”
Although the officers and soldiers were fighting on the battlefield and didn't seem to take the war seriously, in fact, everyone was very vigilant and meticulous in their tactical movements, after all, no one wanted to eat guns, and they hadn't lived enough. As long as the navy and air force are working together, the infantry will have much easier, and in this kind of beach-grabbing landing battle, first the navy will use naval guns to carry out a large-scale artillery bombardment of the Japanese coastal defense positions for several hours, and then the air force bomber group will bombard the Japanese positions indiscriminately, and when the infantry land, the Japanese positions have been almost destroyed, and in the case of losing the superiority of the sea and air, the Japanese troops are completely pressed and beaten, and there is no chance or room for counterattack at all.
Under the cover of the armored convoy, the infantry fought smoothly and easily, although some people were still hit by bullets and fell, but the wounded and sick were quickly rescued and treated, and there were many cases of direct death, but there was no way, there was always a time for dead people in battle.
