546 Insect carving skills

A platoon of tanks that rushed into the ground formation, using machine gun fire, quickly controlled an area, drove the enemy to the warehouse area behind the loading and unloading area, and the infantry behind crossed the roadbed to provide cover, the action was clean, the opportunity was not out of touch, only one tank was blown up by a Japanese suicide attack. The ferocious firepower of the new 200th Division was not at all something that the Japanese army could withstand. The Japanese were beaten and could not raise their heads, so they could only keep returning fire with grenadiers and mortars.

Even if the drone is in the air, it can be clearly seen that this set of infantry and tan coordination of Chu Ting's chief has become more and more mature, leaving no chance for the enemy. The Japanese army had a set of tactics to pinch the head and tail of the tanks covered by the infantry and break them individually, but it seemed to have failed. The 18th Division seems to have been replenished with too many new recruits, and even the elite wing, which is already fierce on the surface, has become a little rusty and sluggish in the execution of tactics.

Qin Xiaosu took the time to report to Lin Xiuxuan about the discovery of the new radio station, and judging by his characteristics, it was a British single-sideband shortwave radio station, not a radio station used by the Japanese. At present, the expeditionary force uses more American-made radios, and even the British troops here have begun to use American-made radios, and only the Chinese troops fighting in Burma still retain such radios. He judged that it would be quite difficult to use this kind of radio station to communicate directly with China, and he could not rule out that there would be a receiving station nearby for relaying.

Of course, due to the short time of the report, the drone did not have time to go sideways, but it should be near the troops of the 200 division. This matter certainly attracted Lin Xiuxuan's attention. In addition to UAVs, 419's own electronic mast surveillance capabilities are also very strong, and they can also be captured after the shortwave telecommunications of the US and Japanese fleets in the Pacific Ocean are attenuated, but such encrypted stations have not been found for a long time.

The South authorities have a full grasp of the radio station 419 in the area north of Calcutta, and they are also familiar with the characteristics of the transmission method and the encryption characteristics, most of which are not them, but they cannot be completely ruled out.

Why didn't it appear sooner or later, and now it's coming? This question, as well as the reality that Guo Rugui is here, prompted Lin Xiuxuan to want to land more and more to try his skills, but Cheng Dayang and the political commissar felt that there were few overseas Chinese here and it was not easy to hide, so they did not agree to him to go ashore to cause trouble.

It is said that the 200th Division is the elite of the Kuomintang, and the control is very strict, and even if the party organization exists, it has not yet reached the level of mastering the radio station, but Chu Tingchang has incorporated many other troops in northern Burma, and may have brought in his own people. Especially Tao Mingzhang, who is currently in charge of artillery, is an outlier, and even wants to develop Lin Xiuxuan.

"What are we to make of this radio exposure? I think that in Chief Chu Ting's communications unit, there should be a great chance to have our people. Lin Xiuxuan said. If I go ashore, I can test it. By the way, Pavilion Chief Chu didn't want a jungle warfare instructor there, I wanted Xu Chong to do this errand. ”

"When we were in Shanghai, the party organization helped us at a critical moment. There was no showdown then, and now it seems right or wrong? Cheng Dayang didn't directly answer Lin's thoughts, but ripped them apart.

"Yes, once contacted, we will be faced with a conundrum that cannot be solved by the existing Common Sense Ordinance II. The command of strategic nuclear submarines should be the only one, and can we accept the current central command? Lin Xiuxuan said, the political commissar wanted to speak on the side, "I thought about it for a long time, and I still have to contact it if necessary, but now is not the time, I still have to observe, at least I have to decipher the message." None of us know if Guo Rugui has resumed contact with Yan'an. I don't know if it has anything to do with him? ”

"So what to do?" Cheng Dayang said.

"I think it's time to tell Lin Xiuxuan that there may be a party organization in his direct communication company, and let him find a way to get the encryption key first."

"Aren't we too embarrassed for Deputy Captain Chu, he is not three-headed and six-armed. At this stage, it is unlikely that the organization will work on a Kuomintang member like him, so what chance does he have of finding the key? ”

"First find the specific sending force of the communication, and then secretly make the communication shift more detailed, combined with the time when we intercepted the message, so that we can find out the specific personnel who contacted the radio station at that time, and then try to find the book."

"It's just technical, and then what?"

"And then I haven't thought about it yet. But in any case, when Deputy Captain Chu Aiyun leaves in the future, the position of the main military commander of this unit must be our people, and the few capable commanders under him are very unreliable in their political positions, such as Zhou Youfu, who can be used in the natural sea to fight now, but in the end it must be eliminated, otherwise it will be a trouble. ”

"Yes, I have the same thoughts," the political commissar finally spoke, "At present, Lao Jiang intends to use Chu and Sun's troops as model troops, and in the future, many military backbones will definitely flow from here to his descendants, so it must be guaranteed to be our people." and the money that Chu got by talking to himself, and he had to hand it over to a safe person. ”

Railway station, fierce fighting continues.

Chu Ting's three Sherman tank platoons rumbled across the open field. The drone determined that the enemy's 47-mm anti-aircraft guns had been cleaned up, and the last 10 or so tanks did not come out to fight, but shrank to the rear, as if they were about to run.

Chu Tingchang did not have enough troops to form an encirclement, and for the time being, he could not completely annihilate the enemy, but he could defeat it, and he must attack the warehouse on the platform as soon as possible, so as not to realize that the Japanese army would inevitably blow up the equipment when they realized defeat.

There were several waves of Japanese aircraft, mainly Hayabusa fighters and light bombers, which posed little threat to infantry and tanks. Commander Chu Ting's direct subordinate unit already had a 20-mm machine gun, but the training was not too hard, and nothing was shot down in one go. He regretted that he had driven the British too early, and he was afraid that Vivill would regret it, but now it seems that anti-aircraft artillery is a difficult technical task to coordinate, and it is not so quick to get out of the division. Fortunately, the British aircraft airfield was close to it, and several sorties were quite timely, and several Japanese planes were shot.

The drone observed 16 Japanese tanks suddenly fleeing north, each carrying four or five infantrymen. Leaving the brigade and escaping doesn't seem to be the Japanese style, it's really a bit peculiar. But now it's the main thing to attack, and I don't care about them for the time being. He used Sherman's firepower to pull out the enemy point by point and set up temporary fire points. At the same time, infantry was sent to constantly outflank and threaten the enemy's flanks, causing them to retreat layer by layer. The enemy did not have a strong defense, but he also did not have heavy artillery, so he could not get up quickly.

Of course, in addition to speed, he also had to worry about casualties, and as the speed of the attack slowed down, the casualties went up a bit. The drone found that the Japanese army had begun to install weapons that could not be towed near the platform*, and he was indeed in a hurry.

"Tell He Bisheng, quickly occupy the commanding heights on the west side, block the platform with firepower, if you can't take it, and don't let the enemy sappers destroy the equipment." As soon as he got the news, he hurriedly gave an order to He Bisheng in front.

"Division, but our men have approached 50 meters from the platform, and they have not reported seeing the enemy destroying the equipment?"

"They can hide in the crater and see a fart, Lao Tzu calculated, let him win and destroy a cannon. Lao Tzu is the only one who asks. ”

"Yes."

He just wanted to transfer the last platoon of Sherman tanks to increase the speed of the attack, and suddenly received news that the Japanese tanks that had escaped before seemed to have come back in a big circle, walking on the northwest dry riverbed. 419 Lin Xiuxuan estimated that the enemy had an attempt to outflank the headquarters of the 200th Division.

Obviously, the enemy relied on the help of the leading party to carry out some small insect carving skills, of course, judging from the fact that the peripheral scouts did not report, the trick basically succeeded, which shows that the quality of its commanders is indeed okay.

Commander Chu didn't want to pull a platoon of tanks from the front to come back to fill the leak, the last tank platoon was estimated to be enough, and of course he had to use new weapons in advance.

Zhao Xiaoli's guard unit has 16 new American-style rocket launchers, which are much easier to learn than anti-aircraft guns, and ordinary soldiers do not need to learn ballistics, they can hit a target of 2X2 meters 50 meters away after practicing one or two shots.

According to Brooke's telegram, the object was test-fired at the Aberdeen test site last month, and he happened to be observing the test site as a representative of the front-line army. Seeing the huge anti-pillbox potential of this individual weapon, I immediately thought of this.

The Ministry of National Defense also had the idea of skipping lengthy experiments and testing new weapons directly through actual combat, so he used his little suggestion power in the procurement project to forcibly join Chu Tingchang's troops among the 800 bazookas produced in advance and several key trial users who were ready to be issued. Of course, Chu Tingchang knows very well that the real potential of this kind of thing is not part-time work, but anti-tank. Although the conical charge warhead used in this thing is not mature enough, the charge is sufficient, and it should blow a thin Japanese tank to pieces.

The Stuart tank quickly rushed to the nearby commanding heights of several meters, and the firing range just blocked the platform, and the enemy sappers couldn't get past hiding behind a train, but the Japanese superiors had a new order, not to blow up for the time being, maybe they could keep these things.

Some of the American-made cannons on the platform are still in a state of disassembly, and some have already been assembled, and it is obvious that the Japanese are just preparing to put them into use, but the tanks of the 200th Division came too quickly and did not succeed.

The commander of the 55th Wing decided to change the plan to blow up the equipment and withdraw here, because he got a telegram from the front tank, which had outflanked the enemy. Like most Army officers, he couldn't spit out what he had eaten. So he pinned his hopes on the tank units to get away with it.

After all, he is a veteran who fought from 918, and he still has experience in dealing with the Chinese army. He knew that the most valuable thing in his hands was not only the tanks, but also the living map sent by the Congress party. This is something that the newcomer Chinese army could not have. Even if the Chinese army fights on its own soil, it often shows that it is not familiar with the area of operation, and many officers cannot read the map; Their contempt for the geography of the military is actually a more fatal weakness than the lack of weapons. Now the Chinese army has obviously learned to read maps, but the maps of the British alone are obviously not enough. A lot of the details of the passage are not on the map, not to mention that the road is constantly changing.

An hour earlier, Osa, who had taken the Indian Belt, had been watching with a telescope on the roof of the warehouse, and he had seen that the enemy was under-manned, and the Indians had guessed the approximate location of the enemy's headquarters, and then the two worked together to develop a new plan to bring Captain Hasami's tank unit behind the enemy and strike him by surprise.
