367 Japanese Army Nemesis
In Achabu, Burma, Chu Aiyun's troops, under the arrangement of Major Brooke, began to train, and according to their training syllabus, it would take at least half a year for the car crew to knead together and operate this monster effectively, where did he have this time.
The tank crews had a couple of training sessions and immediately understood why the British didn't want such things. This tank requires a large crew of 6 people, including a professional artilleryman who can operate the gun, and an additional gunner who can operate a direct-fire gun, which makes the commander's command confused and unable to find the main point.
This is obviously a useless thing that can only be designed by a perfectionist who is far away from the battlefield, and everyone has a natural sense of rejection for this strange weapon. However, they believed that their battalion commander was an immortal who could pinch and calculate, and that even with the worst weapons, he could beat the Japanese. Battalion Commander Chu currently has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the soldiers, he is not the kind of traditional, majestic image of the commander, more like a wizard, always anticipating the enemy's opportunities, and calculating no last resort. These veterans had fought with the Japanese for many years, winning fewer and losing more, and it was only in this month that they felt that the Japanese soldiers were nothing more than that.
Brooke walked around the training ground with a serious face on his clipboard, watching the tanks stumble forward, the drivers accustomed to the poor clutch and joystick of Soviet tanks, driving a tank like tearing down a house, and needing to get used to American weapons as quickly as possible. He was always followed by one or two cameras filming the congressional Medal of Honor recipient.
With the medal, he could have withdrawn from the war, but he chose to stay, in addition to a sense of mission, there was also a deep worry, he feared that as long as he left with the front foot and the back foot, the Chinese battalion commander would lead these excellent soldiers to die in vain in the next hot-headed attack. Of course, he thinks that the last victory was quite fortuitous. All the aerial reconnaissance did not find a way there, but it was found by mistake by this kid. He hoped that the Chinese soldiers would stop worshipping their superiors and get back to serious training. No one can repeat their luck forever.
Because the Japanese fleet haunted from time to time not far from the military port, and the Japanese naval planes often came to drop bombs, which caused panic among the Allied forces in the Achab area, and rumors among the troops that the Japanese Navy had six aircraft carriers nearby, and that a division would attack here from the sea at any time, and that another unit would even land at Chittagong, completely cutting off the British army's retreat back to India.
To this end, Alexander developed a plan to deploy tanks and heavy artillery to the coast to prevent landings. For several days, Major Brooke had also been urging Chief Chu to make the necessary preparations in his garrison area to resist the landing. However, Chu Aiyun knows that Japan's hand has not yet reached the entire Bay of Bengal, and at present, there is actually only one dragon that is making noise outside, making some feints, and when the Japanese really want to attack, they will never let you notice it.
He flatly rejected the major's suggestion, and every day he went hunting in a jeep with a few cronies, but of course he was running to the commanding heights and gathering information with the team members. He already knew that 419 had detonated a nuclear bomb, which meant that the enemy traverser might wake up and perhaps fight back even more frantically. It is known that their established strategy is to attack in two directions, one east and one west, in an attempt to contain the American counteroffensive and force China to surrender. The forces at his disposal are not yet capable of playing a decisive role in the campaign. But if used well, it may be effective in delaying the enemy's progress before the rainy season.
He and Zhou Youfu returned to the station, and Major Brooke, who was watching the training under the scorching sun, glanced at him from a distance, and found that he had returned empty-handed again today, so he turned his head with a sneer.
A signal soldier ran to Battalion Commander Chu and delivered a letter, and when he took a look, it turned out to be Jiang Weiguo who had sent it from the United States. He quickly tore it open and saw that there was a photo in the letter, which was a photo of Jiang Weiguo with American generals, and he recognized Bradley and Patton, as well as Li Qiwei, the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division.
The second prince first congratulated him on his only two victories for the allies in March, and raised his eyebrows for the Chinese army; Another victory this month was when the Australian troops stopped the Japanese attack in the jungles of New Guinea, and these two battle-level victories essentially thwarted the Japanese army's next strategic attempt.
Jiang Weiguo said ostentatiously that what he sees every day is with the generals who are about to enter North Africa, and they are either confronted on the map or on the exercise ground, and every round is at least a draw, with few defeats, and the battalion-sized Blue Army under his command has almost become the best mechanized unit in the United States. The U.S. side proposed that he participate in the operation of the French colony of North Africa or go to Australia as a senior staff member.
Chu Aiyun shook his head after reading it, the letter of the second son is obviously suspected of leaking, the United States has not even declared war on Germany, and is currently only occupying Morocco. Another piece of information is that the U.S. military has also foreseen that war in Australia may be inevitable. In the original history, the Japanese army was tied hand and foot by the US military in a secondary strategic direction - the Solomons, and the Americans took advantage of the insatiable nature of the Japanese to constantly consume the Japanese army and navy in the Solomon Sea area in their favor, but now the situation has obviously changed, and the intervention of the traverser seems to make up for the original strategic short-sightedness and rashness. To what extent would the abandonment of the Solomon Islands threaten the flanks of the New Guinea campaign?
The U.S. military may use the airfield there to deploy aircraft, but if it attacks the Bismarck Islands, it will face Japanese planes waiting for their work, and this burden would have been borne by the Japanese side attacking Kuah.
He folded the letters and stuffed them into his pocket, and the hidden communication equipment came with Lin Xiuxuan's information, the latest information that the Japanese army would launch an attack on the whole line in 12 hours, and the troops would be three divisions, but Iida would be on the second line, and the 56th and 31st divisions would be hidden as the rear hand. At the beginning of the offensive, the 5th Flying Division was tasked with storming the base here, and they secretly assembled ninety bombers. The communication asks him to execute a predetermined plan in advance.
The situation is simply one or two big, and his men and horses have not yet adapted to the new tank. What's worse is that Alexander deployed more than a third of the British army on the beach to prevent the non-existent Japanese landing, and he was really frightened by the Japanese, thinking that they could do anything.
He went out of the house and asked the trumpeters to blow the trumpets and gather the men. Brooke was unhappy with his interruption of training, but he couldn't say anything due to his authority.
Battalion Commander Chu asked the reconnaissance company to immediately prepare for maneuvering, and the kitchen began to cook, and the supplies in the British warehouse were loaded onto the truck. Park the tanks in the woods and prevent Japanese air raids. Brooke watched him start convulsing again, and he couldn't get out of breath, the British radar and the Flying Tigers had shown their power recently, and no Japanese Air Force aircraft could go that far.
He wanted to step forward to theorize, only to see Chu Aiyun jump onto a 221 wheeled chariot and advance with the reconnaissance company as if in the south. Brooke scolded his mother, got into the jeep and followed, and the Department of Defense film crew noticed that the atmosphere was delicate, as if something was about to happen, and followed excitedly.
When Chu Aiyun turned around, he was discouraged when he found a group of Americans following up. Of course, his reconnaissance was targeted, and the purpose was to provide early warning to the Allies and to revise the erroneous deployment. Time was already running out, and it was very difficult for these Americans to come along. However, at present, Lin Xiuxuan and Ma Qiang are already on the way, and the plan cannot be changed.
Along the way, British troops can be seen using bulldozers and elephants to build fortifications, which are about halfway completed; All Chinese veterans know that the Japanese have a good grasp of the pace of the attack and will definitely not let you complete the preparations.
"Where are you going? Today is a training day, and there are no forward reconnaissance missions. ”
The major shouted from the walkie-talkie.
Chu Aiyun pretended not to hear. From the beginning of receiving some American equipment, Brooke began to kick his nose in the face, feeling that he had jumped from a liaison officer to a deputy battalion commander, constantly interfering in training and deployment, and followed by a film crew, which was really annoying.
They rushed all the way from the wilderness of Ringanqiang, hundreds of still working oil kowtowing machines, and the British sappers were climbing up and down, unhurriedly installing*, seeing the convoy passing in the direction of the enemy, and making a V-sign to them.
Brooke's jeep rushed to the side of the armored car and signaled to stop, and Chu Tingchang got into the turret and pretended not to see it. Two American jeeps fell behind again.
The American major was astonished to find that the convoy had moved out of the forefront into a confrontation zone strewn with craters and corpses, where the Japanese pursuing force had been pursued a week earlier and then retreated. If this guy is either going to defect to the enemy, he has a bad brain and deliberately wants to do something unexpected.
The scout team suddenly slowed down, drove off the road, and headed straight for a few hills to the west. Commander Chu ordered every commander not to stick his head out, alerting them that there might be Japanese troops nearby. The Americans were unarmoured and he couldn't do anything, and it wouldn't be bad news if Major Brooke happened to be hit by a stray bullet from a Japanese agent.
He was well aware that the Japanese army was moving in a big way, and they were busy removing their camouflage, spreading out their troops, and pushing their artillery into areas with good firing range, so that as long as they climbed to the commanding heights here, they could have an unobstructed view.
Four hours earlier, Qin Xiaosu had detected the change of hands at the most advanced observation post, and then continued to send reconnaissance reports to the Japanese command, reporting the movements of the Allied forces and marking targets for their artillery.
He determined the location of the radiation source, near the ruins of an old Dongwei era bunker on the top of the mountain. On Allied maps, it is still marked as British control.
It overlooks the entire low-lying area of the vicinity, leaving the Japanese army on their backs. It is likely that at dawn, the Japanese army is sneaking up; Without saying a word, he killed a squad of Anglo-Burmese troops. Now that the advantages have been eroded, the enemy can not only move unscrupulously, but also condescendingly observe the movements of the Allied forces.
Chu Aiyun estimated that his every move after getting off the highway would be seen by this group of enemies, but he did not expect to reoccupy this place completely on his own.
On the hill, the Japanese lieutenant arranged for his machine-gun team to seize the passage up the hill and constantly observe the movements of these reconnaissance vehicles, and he was anxious to inform the headquarters to immediately stop the movement outside the forest, but the communication was mysteriously terminated, and it was impossible for him to know that someone had placed a * nearby.
The lieutenant came out to check the antenna and found one of his men leaning on the broken city wall, his neck crooked to the side, he was also a good assassin with his bare hands, realized that the situation was not good, tried to draw his pistol, and was knocked down from behind by a shot.
Chu Aiyun got out of the car and hid on the side of the armored car, restraining all his own people not to run around. Director Capra and the cameraman ran over excitedly, not afraid of any snipers at all, and they were followed by Major Brooke, who was cautious and approached with the help of the terrain.
"Why stop, what the hell is going on? Is there anything we need from us? He asked in English with an Italian accent.
"That's right, I saw a reflection on the mountain just now, and I judged that there was an enemy telescope." Chu Aiyun pulled away a lie.
"It's completely impossible, the sun is in the west, we are coming from the east, how can there be reflections?" Brooke said.
"You know a ball. Why are you fighting against me everywhere? ”
"If you carefully look at the map every day, instead of going to hunt wild ducks, you will find that this hill is controlled by the 1st Anglo-Burmese Division, and even if it is a telescope, it will not be Japanese."
