Chapter 270: The Battle of Tongliao
This Sino-Japanese tank battle ended with zero casualties in the Second Armored Brigade, Wu Gang was very bored and gave the order to pursue the Tiger tank, not to say that chasing those scattered cavalry, these targets are of little value, isn't there still thirty Japanese tanks in front of them who have not caught up with this big battle, just let the Tiger tank practice.
His armored brigade includes a heavy tank battalion and two light tank battalions, another self-propelled rocket artillery battalion, a self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery company, and then some logistics support units, so it is two light tank battalions that attack.
One hundred heavy Tiger tanks, led by Deputy Brigade Commander Gao Peng, rushed to meet the thirty poor Type 95 heavy tanks.
The team of ninety-five chariots didn't know that His Excellency the division commander in front of the road had been shattered, and at this time they were holding back enough strength to rush here! But soon the cavalry who fled the battlefield told them the unfortunate news, and the tank captain led by him immediately ordered to turn around and flee, looking at their speed of more than ten kilometers, how could those remnants of the cavalry still be interested in waiting for death here with them, urging the war horses to flee for their lives!
The Type 95 heavy tank, which has a maximum speed of only 22 kilometers per hour, is racing against the Tiger tank with a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour, so what is the result, it didn't take long for Gao Peng's telescope to appear in these strangely shaped small tanks.
Adhering to Boss Yang's thinking, the most popular multi-turret tanks at this time were regarded as garbage in the armored brigade, so when they saw these rags, the soldiers on the Tiger tank screamed and pounced.
At this time, the 30 Japanese tanks did not run away, and they couldn't run anyway, and when they saw that all the light tanks that were catching up behind them, how could the four or seven guns above penetrate their 30-centimeter-thick main armor, so they also roared to meet them, and the two sides opened fire almost simultaneously at a distance of 500 meters. Then one by one, they were surprised to find that no one could help anyone.
The 37 guns could not penetrate the main armor of the Tiger at this distance, and the 47 guns could not penetrate the main armor of the 95 heavy tanks at the same distance.
At this moment, Gao Peng was careful.
"Stop moving forward and get ready to reverse!" The guy immediately found the best way to do it. All the Tiger tanks stopped, waiting for the Japanese themselves to close the distance, and at a distance of 400 meters, the two sides opened fire again, this time with a gain, two Japanese tanks were destroyed, but the Tiger tanks still did not lose.
Now Gao Peng has a bottom in his heart.
"Keep facing the enemy head-on, reverse, limit the distance to 400 meters, and each car fires freely." He then shouted into the radio.
The Tiger tank can reverse at a speed of up to thirty. It is impossible for the Japanese tanks to get closer, but they can't move forward, because they have no way to survive if they turn around and escape.
More than 20 Type 95 heavy tanks began to attack them desperately, and although the main guns of the Tiger tanks at a distance of 400 meters could not guarantee that every shot would penetrate the target, they could always gain one or two, but the Japanese 37 guns were at such a distance. It is impossible to penetrate the layer of hard-hardened synthetic armor on its front under any circumstances.
One advances and one retreats, and the two sides come and go. The shells whizzed by, splashing fire on their respective tanks, and soon the Japanese tanks were reduced to five.
"Why is this going on!" Gao Peng sighed compassionately.
The remaining five Japanese tanks continued to attack stubbornly, and the battle was not over until the last one was smashed into flames.
Just when the 2nd Armored Brigade completely annihilated the Japanese reinforcements. Tongliao was still in the midst of fierce battles, although the artillery bombardment and bombardment caused heavy losses to the Japanese army, but the fortress built in a few years protected them to the greatest extent, and the remnants of the Japanese soldiers were under the ruins. Stubbornly holding back the attacking coalition forces.
Fierce fighting was fought from the periphery of the small city to the city walls, the ancient city walls have always been the focus of artillery fire, by this time it has long been blown into stubble, lying on the corner of the stubborn Japanese army, the only organized resistance in this battle, and then by the artillery fire summoned by the coalition soldiers to slag, followed by the ruins of the street fighting.
Of course, in fact, at this time, their end was already doomed, even Ling Kalong had already regarded them as dead people in his heart, and he had no troops to reinforce, and he was out of the fortifications group in the field battle to face Yang Feng's armored troops, which was tantamount to sending them to death, and the coalition forces came up with such a tactical purpose, which was to play siege to help, armored tourism outside, whoever came would kill whom, Tongliao's hundreds of thousands of troops leisurely and slowly cleaned up the defenders, and let him watch the dry fire.
In fact, he can't take care of Tongliao now, because the 200,000 allied troops on the Jinzhou front line also killed the Daling River, entered the original demilitarized zone, and marched towards the Liao River unimpeded, what he needs to consider now is how to defend Shenyang, but for the Shenyang defense line that he has painstakingly managed, Ling Karlong is still very confident, the black soil in the northeast here is about to be dug into the Jiangnan water town, crisscrossing the water network to block the attack of any tank, and he can still have some confidence in simply playing infantry combat, Therefore, at this time, he would rather sacrifice the two divisions of Tongliao than do such a thing as taking risks to attack.
While the frontline is fighting, Boss Yang is also engaging in his strategic deterrence, or intimidation.
In the middle of the night in Tokyo, countless Japanese people in their sleep were suddenly awakened by the terrible sound of air raid sirens, and the whole city immediately exploded.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the Japanese government officials and even the emperor were panicked, no one knew where Yang Feng would throw napalm this time, the whole Tokyo was full of people fleeing in a hurry, crying, crying for help, and even kneeling and praying sounded into a film, plus the messy shooting of those anti-aircraft guns, and the shouting of the army when controlling order, it was completely a scene of the coming of the end.
The bomb hasn't fallen yet! There have already been casualties below, and in such chaos, a city with a population of millions can't think of trampling a few to death!
However, the panicked Japanese were puzzled to find that no bombs had fallen above their heads, despite the dense spots of light in the sky. Countless bombers were flying overhead, but the bombs never fell, this strange situation made everyone on the ground confused, one by one stopped running and looked up at the group of planes circling in the sky, at this time the piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded, and the following immediately collapsed. However, after a while, it was found that the explosion of the bomb still did not come, but the piercing whistling continued to sound.
On an overhead Liberator in the sky, the pilots were smiling and playing around the temporarily installed tweeters, and the citizens of Tokyo below were so by them that this kind of acoustic bombardment lasted for half an hour, and the bombers in the sky flew away, and then the citizens of Tokyo breathed a sigh of relief, hugging each other and crying with joy. Celebrate that you have finally escaped.
However, the Japanese government felt deep fear and humiliation at this time, and they naturally understood Boss Yang's intentions, which was to clearly warn them to play according to Lao Tzu's rules, and if they broke Lao Tzu's rules, be careful to cut you.
To be honest, at this time, the Japanese cabinet did discuss attacking the coast of Shandong, or even landing in Qingdao or Haizhou. used force to force Yang Feng to stop the attack on the northeast, but now it looks like a province. In that case, it wouldn't be an empty bomber flying over Tokyo tonight.
Anyway, the war in the south is going well, and the imperial army has gained a lot, so Yang Feng will give it to him if he wants to pass Liao. Quan dang spent money to buy peace, and he had a complete stalemate with this guy, he blew up all the factories, not to mention that the war in the south could not be maintained, and it was not impossible for the British to fight Tokyo.
This is what Yang Feng wants. He didn't want to drag himself into a protracted war with the Japanese for a show, and he went into battle shirtless and bloody, how could he be comfortable hiding behind and watching others fight to the death?
In the direction of Jinzhou, the 200,000-strong army advanced to the south bank of the Liao River and then stopped advancing, and then the Pingjin newspapers and even the newspapers in the United States and Europe controlled by him were hyping up the first and second major war zones, and hundreds of thousands of troops fought bloody battles to recover a large area of land including Beizhen, Montenegro, and Tai'an, and the front had approached Xinmin, and then the enemy was annihilated, especially the Second Armored Brigade to completely annihilate the Japanese First Mechanized Brigade and the First Cavalry Brigade.
The Japanese also saw that the strategic goal of this product this time was to put on a show, and they didn't want to really fight with them at all, since this is the case, they can rest assured, as for Tongliao, just like that, it is worth abandoning two divisions and a fortress to satisfy Yang Feng's appetite.
Now Ling Kalong really doesn't want to fight with Yang Feng, there is no air support, no armored troops, and even artillery can't be compared with others, in this case, no matter how brave the imperial army is, it is also versatile, and honestly defend its own Shenyang, Changchun.
Tongliao, 200,000 troops are cleaning up the stubborn Japanese army in a ruin, the battle has reached this point, in fact, it is already a chaotic war, the command system of the Japanese army has long been destroyed, and now the remnants of the Japanese army are completely relying on that courage to fight on their own, which also caused great difficulty to the attacking armies, because there is no goal to speak of, as long as the place that has not been stabbed by themselves with a bayonet is the target.
A group of soldiers of the Eighteenth Group Army is slowly advancing in the ruins, and they are no longer old sleeves in their hands, Hanyang has made this kind of goods, to help Boss Yang fight, so can you still use those not to slap him in the face? Now they are all the 38 big covers, and the Japanese weapons captured over the years have nowhere to put them, not to mention the 38 big covers, grenadiers, 92 rifles, crooked handles, 92 heavy machine guns, and now the 115th Division of the 18th Group Army has a full set of Japanese weapons, and even Commander Meijin's saber, let Boss Yang give it to Division Commander Lin as a gift.
These soldiers of the 18th Group Army looked blankly at the ruins in front of them with gunsmoke and firelight, their impression of the war in the past two days has completely collapsed, before they came, they were fully mentally prepared, to meet the Japanese army with the bravest attitude, to fight with them bayonets, with large blades to slash, with grenades to die together, anyway, they are ready to meet a tragic battle, to use blood to let the outside world know the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers of the 18th Group Army.
As a result, when I got here, I realized that the battle could still be fought like this, the infantry was completely reduced to a supporting role here, to put it bluntly, it was to clean up the battlefield, and the battle was basically solved by artillery bombardment, and the strong fortifications were completely scum in front of large-caliber heavy artillery, and the dark fort that used to be exchanged for the lives of a company or even a battalion now only needs to be blocked and sprayed with a flamethrower, and you can stand outside and enjoy the painful screams of the enemy with your arms.
In fact, this is what the coalition soldiers who participated in the war like to do most now, as soon as they found a bunker that had not been destroyed, they first took a grenade into it with tear gas, then called a flamethrower and a fire dragon to spray it in, and then bet with great interest on how long the screams of the Japanese soldiers inside would last.
"All evil capitalists, even the soldiers of capitalists are so evil." The soldiers of the Eighteenth Army can only say this about these cruel guys.
"Battalion commander! Be careful!" At this time, a soldier suddenly pushed the battalion commander who was sighing to the ground, and then a barrage of bullets swept overhead.
The battle-hardened warriors quickly dispersed, each looking for concealment, while aiming their 38 rifles at a half-collapsed building in front of them, and in the ruins of the second floor, a Type 92 heavy machine gun was spraying flames.
Before the soldiers of the 18th Army could charge, a group of soldiers of the 29th Army in the vicinity hurried over, and the company commander led by him stretched out his hand and held down the fast and slow machine and was about to shout, comrades, the battalion commander who rushed with me, and then waved not far away, and the two soldiers immediately came over with grenade launchers, and then took out tear gas from the ammunition box, and at the same time the two squads suppressed each other's fire with machine guns, and the grenade launcher fired the tear gas directly into the hole on the roof of the building.
The machine gun inside immediately stopped moving, and then the grenade launcher was straightened, and the same tear gas was directly fired into the window downstairs, and the company commander waved his hand, and the two groups of soldiers immediately rushed up, and the soldiers of the 18th Army in the front were the first to rush downstairs, but they were quickly smoked out, and the soldiers of the 29th Army in the back smiled one by one and put on gas masks and rushed in, and then there was a burst of cheers from inside.
