Chapter 40: Special Bombs (1)

"What the hell do the Japanese want to do?" Looking at the latest information just sent by the military commander, Zhao Zhi suddenly began to be a little dazed, in order to defeat the thunder in Burma, the Japanese army base camp did not hesitate to transfer a large number of elite Japanese troops from the Philippine battlefield to aid Burma, and now they have transferred a mixed force from the troops that have entered India to aid Burma.

Chiang Kai-shek was naturally worried about the pressure that the Thunder Demand would face, while He Yingqin and those people hoped that the Japanese army attracted by the Thunder would be as big as possible, and only in this way could the anti-Japanese forces in other places get a chance to breathe and develop and grow. "Niang Xipi, Boyuan's troops have been defeated, what good is it for us" There was even a voice in the Ministry of Military Affairs that postponed the dispatch of troops to receive Tengchong City, they wanted to watch Thunder and the Japanese army fight to the death, this kind of remark made Chiang Kai-shek jump to his feet angrily.

Seeing that the Japanese army has returned to Burma to aid more than 150,000 troops, and Zhao Zhi's troops have less than 50,000 people crossing the Nu River, no matter in terms of the number of soldiers or combat effectiveness, those guys in the military and political department who only know how to live in the dark sky will naturally not be optimistic about the thunder. Zhao Zhi is the old man's favorite general, and he can freely enter and exit the South Bank Villa, while winning the trust of the old man, he naturally blocks the way of many people, so when the crisis comes, there are many people who are cold bystanders, but there are few who thoroughly support Zhao Zhi like Chiang Kai-shek.

"They came to theirs, thunder and thunder, the war has not really begun, and it is too early to determine who wins and who loses" Regarding Chiang Kai-shek's worries, Zhao Zhi only replied with one sentence. Chen Ran had the intention of comforting Chiang Kai-shek, but it was more of Zhao Zhi's arrogance in it, and Tengchong Guangfu, who was regarded as a great victory by the Ministry of Military Affairs, was not a real battle in Zhao Zhi's eyes, at most it could only be regarded as an appetizer before the main meal, because Thunder still had many means that had not been used.

The encounter between the armored squad commanded by Joy and the Japanese tank brigade officially opened the prelude to the attack and defense of Longling, and like Tengchong, the Japanese army stationed in Longling was also an infantry wing, and Songshan, which was regarded by Zhao Zhi as a hard bone, was also stationed on Songshan with a Japanese brigade plus an engineer brigade, and the number of Japanese troops here has exceeded 5,000 people. Lei Ting never played any crowd tactics with his opponents, so the number of Japanese troops in Longling was not in Zhao Zhi's calculation at all, he just ordered the first infantry division that went out to encircle Longling to start sweeping the Japanese strongholds on the periphery of Longling, opening the passage for the final attack.

The number of more than 10,000 infantry division began to gradually shrink the encirclement, with the help of the stalker, the soldiers of the first infantry division attacked everywhere, mortars, bazooka, heavy machine guns all showed up, in addition to the stalker's slightly perverted defense and firepower, Zhao Zhi rushed from Tengchong to the periphery of Longling It took half a day, in this half a day, the first infantry division had swept away more than half of the Japanese strongholds outside Longling, and when Zhao Zhi arrived at the predetermined location, the Japanese army in Longling was shrinking the defense line and posing a turtle trend.

"How could the Japanese army deploy the Ninety-Seven Medium Tank in Longling?" Compared with the 98 light tank, the 97 tank is much stronger, looking at the three 97 medium tanks captured by Joey, a big question mark appeared in Zhao Zhi's head. At that time, Zhao Zhi originally thought that the Japanese army was at most equipped with a Type 94 cavalry armored vehicle called the Bean type like the Shanxi battlefield, who would have thought that the Japanese army was equipped with a Type 97 medium tank with greatly increased firepower.

Compared with the 97 tank, the 94 cavalry armored vehicle, known as the bean tank, is more suitable for field warfare in Burma, and its speed and maneuverability far exceed that of the 97 tank, especially the rapid raid is its specialty, and on the Chinese battlefield, often in order to destroy a bean tank, it is necessary to pay the lives of more than a dozen or even dozens of national army daredevils. "What's so good about this tank, it's not as good as our Stalker at all, I only used 6 Stalkers to overturn 12 of their tanks, as long as we paint them, these three tanks will become our own" Joey kicked the tracks of the 97 tank in front of him with a little excitement.

The output of Thunder's Stalker has not been large, only 2 or 3 vehicles per month, and there are only about 40 Stalkers in Thunder's armored force so far, and the rest are British and French tanks and combat vehicles transported from Europe.

"Okay, after these three tanks are repainted, they will be under your command" Looking at Joey's greedy face, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but feel a chill, fortunately these are only three Japanese tanks, if you pull out the Tiger heavy tank hidden in Myanmar, Joey will not have to peel himself alive. Agreeing to Joey's request, Zhao Zhi's face also showed a smile, Japanese tanks and armored vehicles are not large, Zhao Zhi really can't imagine how Joey's tall charioteers can get into these Japanese tanks.

"Let's go, let's go to Tuantian" New news just came from the walkie-talkie, a Jewish battalion of the 1st Infantry Division bit a group of Japanese soldiers in Tuantian more than 30 miles away from Longling, and the Japanese army had been blocked on the front line of Tuantian, and the Jewish battalion used walkie-talkies to call the nearby Thunder troops to rush over to support. The best way to deal with this kind of thing is to cut off its hands and feet first, and then take advantage of its incapacitation to hit it with a thunderous blow. The 1st Infantry Division is dealing with them like this now, as long as it bites the Japanese army, it will not suck its mouth, and unite with its own people nearby to slowly eat the Japanese troops on the periphery of Longling one bite at a time.

After the battle broke out, a company of the Jewish battalion that broke into the town was besieged by the Japanese army on three sides, and in order to meet the troops who broke into the town, other companies of the Jewish battalion then entered the town. By the time Zhao Zhi arrived with his troops, the battle in Tiantuan Town was hot, and the Jewish battalion had already stabilized its position and taken one-third of Tiantuan Town's territory, relying on simple fortifications to kill time with the Japanese army.

"Fence up, don't let them run" It was the high-spirited Joey who was in charge of directing the battle on the spot, relying on the stalker team in his hand, Joey didn't take the Japanese troops in Tiantuan Town in his eyes at all, and in order to surround Tiantuan, he even used the three Japanese tanks that had just been captured. With the addition of other troops of Thunder, the gunfire of Tuantian Town was like a soup ball wrapped in several layers, the innermost was the Jewish battalion and the Japanese troops confronting it, then the troops commanded by Joey, and the outermost was the 1st Infantry Division that heard the news one after another.

The unexpected melee between Thunder and the Japanese army confused both sides, and Zhao Zhi quickly analyzed and judged from the battle report that this group of Japanese troops was only about one brigade, and was equipped with an unknown number of chariots, and its intention was definitely to block his own line in Tuantian. Thinking of this, Zhao Zhi smiled slightly and ordered the Jewish battalion that confronted the Japanese army in Tuantian to withdraw first, the battle report did not show that there were still civilians in Tuantian, since there were no civilians in it, why did Zhao Zhi care about such a town full of Japanese troops, and directly wiped out the town with people.

"Order the troops to retreat 50 meters, all put on gas masks, and prepare to release smoke and drop special bombs at the upwind outlet" Zhao Zhi has not used much of the poison gas bombs captured in Shanxi, but he brought all these things with him in this attack on Burma, which is very suitable for the Japanese army. More than a dozen large fires were lit by the soldiers, and the burning fires were splashed with water, and the smoke that dispersed along the wind began to drift towards the Japanese army. "Wearing gas masks, cunning guys want to smoke us, what a bunch of fools" The Japanese soldiers in Dantian took out their gas masks and buckled them on their faces, clenched their weapons and waited for the other side to attack.

"Sir, the Japanese soldiers inside seem to be wearing gas masks, I'm afraid our plan won't work" Luo Ying, who was too little to be idle, stood on a stalker and used a telescope to probe the movement in Tuantian, and the pig-nosed Japanese soldiers who appeared in the telescope made him cry out. The only way to defend against poison gas bombs is gas masks, and now the Japanese troops in Tuanda are wearing gas masks, even if special bombs are dropped on the upwind at this time, I am afraid it will not be of much effect.

"Who said it won't work, you wait to see a good show" The soldiers who received the order used mud and water to extinguish the fire that was lit upwind, and after more than ten minutes, seeing that the smoke had gradually drifted away, the mercenary in charge of special ammunition dropped more than a dozen special ammunition in the upwind outlet according to Zhao Zhi's order. The yellow-green poisonous gas mixed with the black smoke was already difficult to detect, but with the help of the wind, the smoke mixed with the poisonous gas quickly drifted over the group.

The Japanese army's pig-nosed gas mask can prevent poison gas, but if you wear it for a long time, it will make people have shortness of breath and chest tightness and breathlessness.

"Start the shelling" Seeing that the sky over half of the regimental field was already clear, and the mortars and grenadiers that had been waiting for a long time began to throw shells into the regimental field, Zhao Zhi did not expect to rely on these dozen mortars and grenadiers to take the regimental field, he just used the artillery attack to cover the special ammunition that had just been dropped. In order not to affect their mobility and vision, before receiving the officer's order, more Japanese soldiers took off their gas masks that were in the way of their faces, and it was more conducive for them to evade the shelling attack by traveling lightly.
