Chapter 393: An Important Armored Division

When Lieutenant General Ji Youqian organized the Blue Hot Spring Town Blockade Battle, he strictly ordered the participating troops to bypass villages and towns during the march, and they were not allowed to harass American civilians easily.

When the 9th Guards Panzer Division, which was responsible for frontal blockade, rushed to the north of the town of Blue Springs to set up an ambush, it even passed on the road outside the town at night. This is precisely why the inhabitants of the town were surprised when they saw the tanks again in the early morning. No one dared to walk on the highway at night to observe which country those steel behemoths belonged to, and since only a few hours later, another U.S. military painted with the Stars and Stripes passed by, so it should be the U.S. military that passed through at night, right?

It is not a mistake, but it can only be said that the experience of the Americans in the all-people war of resistance is obviously inferior to that of the Chinese. It is also easy to understand that after the United States defeated the British in the Revolutionary War, it rarely experienced foreign wars! The invasion of Mexico was not on par with most American civilians. Even the expansion of the U.S. Army was only after the outbreak of war. Compared with the Chinese who have suffered for a hundred years, Americans are like flowers living in a greenhouse, bright and dazzling, but untouched by wind and rain.

The Allied invasion of North America disrupted their peaceful lives and taught Americans for the first time how painful it was to burn in their homeland. In the past, in the name of democracy and freedom, they have unscrupulously imposed war on other nations and countries.

The loss of air supremacy and radio communication capabilities forced the 13th Panzer Division to restore its original cavalry communication methods. Although Jonathan knew that it would be difficult to hide the whereabouts of his troops from the Allied reconnaissance planes, he still had to wait patiently outside the town of Blue Springs, and he had to wait for accurate information from the Forward Search Battalion to determine the next route.

Another point is that the soldiers are too tired! In order to take advantage of the weakening of the Allied aerial reconnaissance capability at night and to rush a little longer, the soldiers of the 13th Panzer Division had been bumping around the tanks for seven or eight hours in a row. Including Jonathan, everyone needs to take a break, otherwise in the current state of the soldiers, once there is a battle, the brigadier general is very skeptical, they will not hit the armor-piercing shells into the queue of their own people.

So even if there were already Allied reconnaissance planes flying over the town of Blue Springs, Jonathan only ordered his troops to strengthen their concealment and did not take other measures.

In fact, even this covert order is more of a "do your best and obey the destiny of heaven". The "Fist of God" is a whole armored division, or a strengthened version of a heavy tank division, more than 300 behemoths, on the road outside the town, how to hide? Could it be that the M26's armor could be used to crash through the wall and drive the tank into a residential house?

Thinking about it, even Jonathan himself found it funny, "Captain, let the brigades pay attention to air defense!" ”

Adjutant Rudy was ordered to run away - by the time he entered the Lake Truqui area, all the American radios had failed, including their car communicators. All of a sudden, from the era of unimpeded radio to the primitive era when communication was basically based on roaring, everyone was a little uncomfortable. The combat system of the US armored divisions, which has been formed for a long time, has also been greatly affected as a result, but it is ...... Brigadier General Jonathan at this time did not realize it.

Or maybe they realized it, but they didn't have time to deal with it. But what is certain is that Jonathan did not wait for the intelligence of the forward battalion in charge of the search. The first to arrive were the G-40B Veyron attack aircraft of the Allied Air Forces, which had begun to be opened to colonial forces and major allies after both the Veyron and Brute Dragon attack aircraft had developed a sixth modification.

Both the Kingdom of Judah and the Republic of China acquired a number of early models of naval and air force attack aircraft by various means.

In the sky above the blue hot spring town, the pilots who flew the G-40B fleet were all from the Dongying Legion. The governor of Dongying, Quanguo Lin, did not take the opportunity to come to North America to fight, so he desperately sent Dongying's troops to the Americas.

also said, "Don't let Lao Tzu go, you need more of Lao Tzu's troops, right?" Moreover, Japan and North Korea are both big agricultural countries, and there are not so many young and middle-aged people, and there are still so many people who have served in the army, if you don't let them go to the battlefield, can there be good security in this place? ”

Regarding the nonsense of the whole loudspeaker, Ye Shuai could only smile bitterly, and he simply had no choice. This guy is a person who can mess around in front of His Majesty, and dare to shout a few words when His Majesty is in a good mood, in the huge empire, how many people can break with him? The Minister of Finance of the Empire, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Timor, Hebar, once said that there are only two and a half people in the entire empire who can make the whole country obediently admit it. One is Jiang Shuai and the other is the eldest princess, and His Majesty can only be counted as half, because unless His Majesty is angry, the whole loudspeaker will definitely be spoiled, and there is still a layer of "brother-in-law" relationship between people and His Majesty!

Compared with other countries, Japan's military resources are quite abundant, and not only the combat effectiveness of the ordinary army, but also the number of technical soldiers such as the navy and air force that need to be trained for a long time. In response to the old saying of the Han people, "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse." "Even though there were a lot of losses during the Anti-Japanese War, the people who could be qualified as pilots were recruited by Lin casually in Japan was much more than what President Chiang Kai-shek of China brought with him in Taiwan.

Marshal Yun Jiu, commander of the Royal Air Force, welcomed the pilots who received this group of Dongying with both hands.

"The Japanese are ruthless! Or rather, there is a tiger spirit. They dare to take risks and are willing to take risks. Flying the original Weilong attack aircraft, even the Royal Air Force ordinary pilots flying a new type of fighter did not dare to do, 30 meters close to the ground attack, most of the Imperial attack aircraft pilots can complete. But those Dongying pilots who had been mixed with kamikaze drones were stunned to turn this dangerous maneuver into a normal attack method, isn't this tiger strength? ”

Commander Yun still has a sentence that he hasn't said, that is, "Sacrifice an imperial pilot, and the pension is twenty times that of a Dongying person." We are not afraid of the loss of the aircraft, we are afraid of the sacrifice of the pilot, and we have changed the Dongying people...... Then you won't be afraid of anything. ”

As a result, these Dongying pilots successfully came to the North American continent under the urging of the national forest. Yun Jiu almost smiled crookedly, and the whole loudspeaker was also cheap. Concubine Sakura even invited the entire governor's family to have a meal at the Sankongqiao Emperor's Palace for this matter. Because after the surrender of Japan, these pilots, who had begun to grow rice at home, landed on the battlefield, and their income was N times that of before, and they became the highest wage group in Japan, almost comparable to those stars who made art films professionally.

Of course, the Japanese were grateful to the pilots for the war, and this was said by the Governor himself. Emperor Sakura invited her family to dinner because she missed her sister and nephew. The governor had to attribute it to the empress that he was grateful to him for doing a good deed for the Japanese people, and Concubine Sakura did not expose him. It's not the first time, and Concubine Sakura really knows too much about the virtue of her brother-in-law. Half a year ago, there was a riot in Kyoto, the whole country Lin ordered the white police stationed in Japan to kill the world, slaughtering thousands of rioters who participated in the smashing and looting, but afterwards the governor went to the hospital with flowers and candy to visit the Japanese children injured in the riots, at that time that kind and kind, so that Kikuko couldn't believe it when he watched it on TV, and bluntly said in a phone call to his sister that the whole governor was at home, and he had never done that to his son.

In fact, as she grew older, she gradually understood in Zhanzi's heart that the Han Emperor's feelings for her were not simple love. Perhaps, among the women in Weiyang Palace, their status in the eyes of the Han Emperor is the most ...... Embarrassing, don't say that compared with the big and small princesses and Wu Jiayi, even Concubine Jin is not as good. Maybe it's not as good as his own, that is, the little white movie star who can't enter the palace yet!

But ...... "Your Majesty has been very good to me, he is my man, since the age of sixteen." What else can I do but please him? ”

Concubine Sakura knew very well that the Han people in the entire empire did not have much affection for Japan. My own identity, my own status...... Even in front of his brother-in-law, the Governor Quan, he could say a few words, but it was only because of the identity of Concubine Sakura, as for the female emperor......

"This title must not be lost, because she is not only the spiritual sustenance of the Japanese people, but also the only guarantee that the Japanese can occupy a certain position in the big league." Zhanzi's vision was far away, "I, the female emperor, am destined not to have much power, but my daughter must be able to, because ...... But then, what will you fight for? My Majesty's daughter and I, is her nationality Han or Yamato? Asking the daughter of the Han Emperor to protect the Yamato nation? ”

Nodding vigorously, "That's it!" Your Majesty will not lose his own daughter, and of course he will not let his daughter's territory become chaotic, so that the Japanese can live in peace, and there is no need to take great risks to fight with the Han people for this and that. Well, that's it. It's just that...... On the New Year, I lived in Weiyang Palace for so long, and I wasn't even shy to ...... with Sister Hainie"

Zhanzi touched his flat lower abdomen, "It seems that I still have to ask my sister, why can the eldest princess, Sister Hainie and Vivian be fine, but not me?" ”

……

The blue spa town in the United States on June 12, 1944 is destined to never be peaceful again! As the dazzling sun of the Northern Hemisphere had just torn through the last veil of tillage over the town, the sudden swarm of planes once again stopped its brutal hooliganism. Although, sixty G-40Bs do not block all the sunlight, but more like a jet from the sun.

But it was very conspicuous that no one at this time thought about whether the Allied fleet was acting bravely or aiding and abetting. The soldiers of the 13th Panzer Division only knew that they were going to suffer as onlookers.

There was some confusion in the tank ranks on the highway, and the American soldiers who were sleeping on the blankets on the highway did not bother to pick up the military blankets of a fairly acceptable quality, nor did they have time to rub their eyes, and they jumped into a heart-rending shout: "Air raid ......

But after shouting, he realized that his comrades-in-arms were looking at him with an idiotic eye. Others either got into their tanks, ready to use their anti-aircraft weapons to return fire, or rolled into the dirt ditches on either side of the road. He was the only one standing in the middle of the road shouting, as if he was afraid that the Allied planes would not see him!

Jonathan's position as division commander was almost nullified after the 13th Panzer Division entered the radio-shielded zone. His orders were also limited to being able to command a dozen tanks in front and behind on congested roads.

Adjutant Rudy almost vomited blood, and he couldn't contact several brigade commanders in time. In an armored force of this size, it is inconceivable that communication can only rely on roaring. What's even worse is that the armored division of the US army has already canceled the flag command a long time ago.

As the Allied attack aircraft began to approach, the 13th Panzer on the road behaved in even more confusion. Fortunately, when Captain Rudy was still able to run, he conveyed Brigadier General Jonathan's order to the various brigade commanders: pay attention to air defense.

It is not known whether the brigade commanders conveyed this order to their subordinate battalions or even to the regimental level. However, in the US tank queue, there were indeed many soldiers who, under the cover of the huge hull of the tank, aimed their shoulder-mounted "Stinger" anti-aircraft missiles at the Allied planes in the sky.

In the RAF combat manual, the Stinger missile is described in detail. Unlike other US anti-aircraft missiles that have fixed launch platforms and are more powerful and vulnerable to attack, the portability and flexibility of the "Stinger" have made it the most effective weapon against low-altitude targets of the Allied forces.

But against fixed-wing aircraft, the flight distance and speed of the "Stinger" are still a little behind. Even the long-crested Penguin surface-to-surface missiles and precision-guided aerial bombs of attack aircraft began to be dropped at an altitude of several thousand meters.

However, when the "Stinger" met the G-40B, and when the pilots of the early models of the Weilong attack aircraft were replaced by Dongying people who liked ultra-low-altitude bombing, the "Stinger" air defense missiles of the Americans, who were dead horses and horse doctors, miraculously regained their might again.

When the Gentleman Penguin light ground-to-ground missiles equipped with the Empire's early attack aircraft began to be launched, when the Dongying pilots kept lowering their altitude in order to get a clearer image of the torture of American armored troops, and when the M26 tanks on the road were even more chaotic because they had to dodge missiles and bombs, next to many tanks on the road that were still able to maintain their formation in an orderly manner, dozens of "Stingers" also rose into the air as puffs of white smoke rose.

Compared with the attack of the "gentleman penguin" on the tank division, the hit rate of the "Stinger" is quite low, and it may not be able to reach 10 percent, but for the attack aircraft group, the enemy, who thought it could be easily tortured, suddenly launched a powerful counterattack, and the scene of several "Weilong" smashing into the ground with black smoke brought them not only shock, but also great fear.

This is like a rabbit kicking an eagle, the probability is extremely small, I am afraid that ninety-nine of a hundred free children will be easily caught and killed by the eagle, but as long as one rabbit succeeds, it will make the other eagles a little more afraid when hunting.

Because of this fear, the threat of "Weilong" to the M26 tank has also been discounted a lot. Half an hour later, when the attackers had finished dropping bombs and left, only about 80 Pershing heavy tanks on the road had been damaged and destroyed.

Counting the number of wounded is not of much significance, after the Allied air forces have already launched an attack, when the American forces are ready to start retreating, everything left here will become the spoils of war for the Allied forces. Jonathan ordered a secondary blast of the tanks that had been damaged around them and could not continue the battle, so as to prevent them from being used by the Allies after simple repairs.

Then, in the way of "beating the drum and passing the flowers", he passed on his orders to the whole division: all the active tanks, advance at full speed, break through the enemy's defenses, and find the 3rd Army.

Fortunately, the English words have fewer meanings, and after the sound of more than two hundred tanks, the order of the brigadier general did not become too outrageous. If this is changed to Chinese, thousands of people will listen to it one by one, plus some soldiers with strong dialect accents, and in the end, it may be passed on.

The 13th Panzer Division is an elite and brave division in a hundred battles. After a sudden air strike and heavy casualties, it was still unable to quickly convey orders, and quickly resumed its marching formation.

But how can a force that does not have air supremacy and long-range communication capabilities win the battle? Brigadier General Jonathan didn't even know that his forward search battalion had been wiped out, and at the front of the town, what was waiting for him was the Han Guards Panzer Division, and it wasn't one.

The 9th Guards Panzer Division was blocking the attack on the front, the 8th Guards Panzer Division was on the right flank, and even, on the periphery of Reno, the 7th Guards Panzer Division had completed the intersperse, sealing the way back to the "Fist of God".

The Allied mountain clusters under the command of Lieutenant General Zhang Houqun launched a fierce assault on the ruins of Carneson City. After two rounds of carpet bombing, the stubbornly resisting American GIs were burned and blown out of the rubble one by one.

The U.S. right-flank line was in danger of collapsing, and Chief of Staff Klaus reminded Admiral Clark that a decision must be made as soon as possible: if the U.S. forces in the northern Sierra Nevada were not evacuated in time, they could be completely encircled.

Admiral Clark was in the Reno Command, and after thirty-two consecutive turns, he finally paused, "Has the call back from Chief of General Staff Bradley arrived?" ”

Klaus's face turned pale, and after thirty-two turns, he actually held back such a sentence?

"What the Chief of the General Staff means is that if the 3rd Army is really not in contact, we can abandon the Nevada Line. But ......"

"But what?" Klaus's throughput made Admiral Clark very dissatisfied, "When is it, what else can't you say?" ”

"But the General Staff made it clear in the telegram that the 13th Panzer Division could not afford to lose! This is a unit that has been named by the president himself, and it has great ......."

There was a "bang", and before Chief of Staff Klaus could finish speaking, Admiral Clark threw the water glass in his hand out, "Why didn't Washington send this telegram earlier?" Why was it said after the 13th Panzer Division had already set off? Why? Mr. Commander grabbed the chief of staff by the collar and yelled angrily: "Is it true that an armored division is more important than an army group?" Isn't 100,000 soldiers important as a few thousand? Just because they were personally named by the president? ”

It must be admitted that Lieutenant General Krauss has an excellent psychological quality, and he still remains calm in the face of Admiral Clark, who looks like crazy, "Commander, we are American soldiers, and the president is our supreme commander. ”
