372 Sun Desheng's five pairs of wheels
The tank-laden transports quickly sailed to the port of Phuoc, with 180 T-59s coming to shore first, followed by a steady stream of T-34s and Sherman M4 tanks from the port of Busan to Phuocang.
According to the pre-war deployment, in addition to Gao Jianwu's five attack groups, which are mainly based on a full set of domestic weapons, most of the rest of the troops are American weapons, and then some troops are Japanese weapons.
Although the latest domestically produced weapons are considered cutting-edge in this era, they are small in number, equipped with at most 5 attack groups, and the remaining 30 or so attack groups have to rely on American and Japanese weapons, as well as some mass-produced Da Mao family weapons to support.
Among them, the T-34 has completed 10 tank battalions, the Sherman M4 has completed the scale of 15 tank battalions, plus the capture of 3 Type 97 tank battalions and 1 Type 75 mm self-propelled gun battalion from the Kwantung Army, the total size of the 8th Route Armored Force on the Northern Front participating in the attack on Kyushu has reached 34 battalions.
Coupled with the 6 Sherman M4 tank battalions that Chu Yunfei and Ding Wei on the southern front equipped with from the allies, the armored forces on the Eighth Route have now reached an unprecedented scale of 40 armored battalions and more than 1,200 tanks of various types!
Put it in the organization of the little devils, it is enough to make 4 fully organized chariot divisions! This is the pomp and circumstance of the pinnacle of the armored army on a small day.
At the peak of their history, the mecha corps (tank army) of the Kwantung Army built by the small book base camp was at most compiled, and it only had 3 tank divisions and 1 tank teaching brigade, plus the fourth tank division in China, a total of 4 integrated tank divisions.
And these little devil chariot divisions, except for the fourth chariot division, the chariot divisions of the Kwantung Army have all been wiped out, and they have never had such a powerful steel torrent again.
Gao Jianwu brought this family background to Xiaori Mainland, just these 40 armored battalions, if the logistics can be supplied, there is no problem with air superiority, he can cover the remaining spicy chicken troops in Xiaori!
Not to mention the Allied forces.
This is also one of the reasons why Gao Jianwu boldly suggested to the above to hollow out his family to fight this war of annihilation, after all, not to mention winning, he can also complete the total revenge of a hundred years of grievances!
...
The T-59 tank battalion led by Sun Desheng sailed out of the transport ship and went ashore, as the commander of the domestic cutting-edge tank attack group, Sun Desheng can now be regarded as a success, almost the identity of the first person in the Eighth Route Tank.
It's just that the tank troops on the Eighth Road side have not been reorganized and used in a centralized manner, most of them are formed at the battalion level, and at most they form attack groups for short-term centralized use, so Sun Desheng's level has not been promoted, but it does not affect the status of the tank soul personnel in his army.
After the T-59 was built, Gao Jianwu first thought of him to lead this amazing army to make great achievements. And Sun Desheng did not hesitate to start from the commander of the T-59 training battalion step by step to explore the new tank driving and combat, and brought out 5 tank battalions equipped with capable tanks.
appeared in a foreign country for the first time, which made Sun Desheng very excited.
"Boss, do we have any combat missions today?" In the tank intercom, Wang Hu, the commander of the 1st battalion, asked loudly, he turned on the all-channel communication groping, and at this moment all the 36 tanks of the 1st battalion could hear the conversation, and all the tankers were listening to the two calmly at the moment.
"Let's go ashore and rest today, and everyone will have a good sleep on the shore, and then we will have a big job. Mr. Gao said that in the next few days of fighting, our tank attack group will be working, and some observers from the Allied side will come to observe our operations."
"I can say ugly things in front, who is the mother's chain, Ma Xi to labor and management to go back to the old army to drive your T-34 or M4, don't occupy the pit and don't, ruin the reputation of our five pairs of wheels!"
"Mr. Gao said, our five pairs of wheels are the only 105mm tanks in the world today, if you deal with the kind of waste of Type 97 and Type 95, any of you will have to *** lie down, and labor and management will be replaced immediately!"
"Chief, who do you look down on? Can the waste of the ninety-seven and ninety-five styles hurt us? It's impossible for me to give them a chance even if I hit ten!" The channel was immediately Sun
Desheng's agitation will boil over.
"Boss, when I encounter a little devil tank, one shot is one, no matter what ninety-seven-nine-five he is, if I fire one more shot, I will lose!"
...
A group of people were noisy and shouting, but the morale was really bursting without mobilization.
After all, now they are driving the strongest weapons in the army, and they have to undertake the dual tasks of revenge and glory for the country, not only Gao Jianwu has high hopes for them, but the whole army is looking forward to their performance, for this reason, Gao Jianwu also sent a camera team from the film studio received by the puppet Manchurians to track and shoot their battle live throughout the process!
Although these tankers don't know yet, Sun Desheng knows it.
"Boss, do we have a chance to face the little devil's armored forces?"
In the midst of the cacophony, an abrupt question stopped everyone at once.
That's right, do you still have armored troops here in Kyushu now, little devils? In the known information, the tank army under the Kwantung Army of the little devil has long been dismantled and used in various places, and it has been eliminated, and now the only tank fourth division is still stationed in Chiba.
How many tank troops are left, not many people really know. In Gao Jianwu's intelligence, it only provided divisional and regiment-level information, and the brigade and regiment had been ignored by the system.
It's a bit embarrassing.
The atmosphere suddenly became delicate.
"Guan Teniang's little devil has no armored troops, we are all pioneers, I didn't say anything about the little devils, if there are tanks, we will do tanks, if there are no tanks, let's do more of his little devils, a few pillboxes and crush artillery positions or something, isn't it also a big contribution?" Sun Desheng was stunned for a moment and then said to everyone.
He was right, and everyone quickly regained their vitality from the embarrassment of having no opponents.
Sure enough, the next day, the tank attack group received the task, and this time they would be the vanguard to attack Zuohuo and Nagaki further south!
Due to its location in the hinterland of Kyushu, Gao Jianwu's naval artillery was already difficult to support, and the fleet would not enter the inland sea near Zuohuo until the resistance of Kyushu was cleared, so as not to be attacked by the little devil's shore defense artillery.
In the narrow inland sea from Changqi to Zuohuo, there are many shore defense guns on both sides of the strait, and Gao Jianwu does not need to challenge these things, and when he pushes them flat from the shore, he can naturally directly press these shore guns to death.
The brigade commander divided the five attack groups into two routes south, one along Highway 263 and the other along Highway 385, and Sun Desheng led three T59 tank battalions to follow the three attack groups.
On the way south, the little devil hurriedly set up several lines of defense.
Na Kechuan, the little devil of the first line of defense, the captain of the 21st Garrison Brigade, Ye Hu Neisi Shaozuo, panicked in his heart.
He was the first to be informed of the large-scale Allied landing and capture of Fukuang, and was ordered to intensify the deployment of defensive positions in the area under his jurisdiction.
In the past few days, he has been busy directing the digging of trenches everywhere and the deployment of mines on Highway 385!
But Ye Hu Neisi knew that these were of little use, and the defensive measures on the coastal fortification were much stronger than the defenses he had deployed, but the enemy pushed them along the road.
It's just that having these mines always adds a lot of trouble to the enemy. If the mines are cleared manually, how can these more than ten kilometers of mines be cleared for several days, right?
Ye Hu Neiji thought about the enemy's cautious appearance along the road with a mine detector, and he was finally a little happy in his heart.
He didn't ask for how long he could block it, as long as he could block it for two or three days, he would have completed the delaying order from his superiors and had a reason to retreat.
Ye Hu Neisi is different from those who have burned out his brain, the reason why he is still alive until now is because of his flexible brain, he tried his best to stay in the homeland, and he never went out, even if he hinted at the promotion to let him go out to be the captain of the wing, Ye Hu Neisi pretended not to understand, and he also gave himself a shot in the leg, and the disguised gun went off and became a disabled person!
After the fall of Fukugang, Ye Hu Neiji knew that the enemy was coming soon.
They have always maintained this marching pace, and they have just finished the last battle, often half a night
Just recover and move on.
The southbound roads are all built in hilly areas, one after another small hills, although not high, the road winds along the hills, and in the dense woods, Ye Hu Neiji sent some snipers to wait for the opportunity to sneak attack while the enemy is demining.
Generally, the sappers at the front have no precautions and are good opponents for sneak attacks.
But this time, the people sent by Ye Hunei were a little dumbfounded.
The enemy's formidable tanks drove ahead, and at the head were a few bulldozers!
The long push rod in front of the bulldozer is against a heavy bulldozer blade, although the speed of travel is not fast, almost the same as the speed of human walking, but compared to manual demining, this method is obviously more than twice as fast as double or two!
I saw that after the bulldozer entered the minefield, the heavy bulldozer shovel only needed to be shallowly pressed, and the mines that Ye Hu Neisi arranged for people to bury were detonated one after another, but the power and lethality of this explosion had no effect on the bulldozer bulldozer shovel, and the two bulldozers went hand in hand, almost covering the entire road completely, in order to prevent fish from slipping through the net, a total of three bulldozers opened the road in front.
One of them is pushing forward from the middle of the road.
The mines buried on the road were detonated one after another, although the bulldozer was damaged, but the problem was not big, most of the fragments of the mine explosion were blocked by the bulldozer shovel, so that the damage to the bulldozer reserve was almost negligible.
"Boss, there are so many mines buried in front of here, fortunately, the boss came up with this demining method, otherwise we would have been delayed a lot." In the tank formation, the tankers felt an eye-opener for the current demining.
This unique means of demining is not something that ordinary people can think of.
"You think too much, how can I come up with such a subtle method, this is the method that Mr. Gao came up with, and some of the bulldozers were also transported from Busan, and the other part was just seized from here."
Sun Desheng didn't dare to be greedy for the boss's credit.
"The little devils will not be short of methods, everyone be careful."
Sun Desheng remembered Gao Jianwu's warning before departure, and said to everyone.
"Our enemy is now in the shadows, and the command orders us to proceed with caution, and it cannot be ruled out that the enemy has deployed anti-tank forces waiting for us. If you encounter an enemy attack, you should be careful not to move in an irregular manner and not be hit by the enemy's anti-tank artillery, even if we have a strong defensive capability."
Gao Jianwu and the brigade commander are both cautious people, although there is no clear information, but the little devil is an opponent with a very complete range of troops after all, and it is inevitable that there will be some killers left to deal with tanks.
Although the T-59 is the most defended tank at the moment, it can't help but be attacked by these weak points.
Sure enough, as soon as Sun Desheng's words fell, he heard a cannon sound, and the bulldozer in front was immediately hit by a 47-mm anti-tank gun on the track on the side!
"300 meters in front of the left in the woods, No. 17, in front of you on the left, immediately look for a target to counterattack! No. 3 and No. 4 for cover machine gun fire!"
Sun Desheng heard the sound of shelling, and quickly found its approximate range from the traces emitted by the launch of anti-tank artillery shells.
Tanks No. 3 and No. 4 immediately aimed at the approximate range indicated by Sun Desheng and opened fire!
Although it did not necessarily hit the enemy, this fire obviously attracted a lot of attraction from the opposite side.
This bought time for Sun Desheng's No. 1 and No. 17 tanks of the No. 1 battalion commander to counterattack.
The fighters who were hit on the bulldozer retreated unhurriedly to the rear of the bulldozer and waited for the end of the battle, although there was no armor protection, but the bulldozer itself was very thick, and it was not a big problem to hide in the back.
"Commander Sun, what's the situation ahead?" Just when Sun Desheng organized a counterattack, Ma Youcheng, the commander of the first infantry attack group who followed behind, heard the sound of gunfire and cut into a secret channel to call Sun Desheng.
"There is a group of anti-tank guns ambushed by the enemy, which is being resolved." Sun Desheng replied succinctly.
"Understood, our 1st Battalion Assault Company will arrive immediately to assist our brothers in the tank battalion in solving the problem." Ma Youcheng said without hesitation
。
They were less than 1 kilometer apart, and soon the assault company was rushing over, the snipers looking for high points near the tanks to prepare for sniping, while the assault platoon brothers did not stop bypassing the road and rushing forward from the slopes on both sides.
Soon touched the vicinity of the woods where the anti-tank gun was suspected.
I saw that the platoon commander waved his hand, and more than 40 soldiers scattered in twos and threes to surround him, and Sun Desheng saw the brothers of the infantry coming up, and also ordered to stop shooting.
After all, I can't see anything, and I don't know how many shells will be spent to wipe out this ambushed anti-tank platoon.
The infantry brothers went up to solve the problem faster, and sure enough, Sun Desheng heard a burst of heavy gunfire, and soon someone pushed a 47mm anti-tank gun out.
Seeing the end of the battle here, a few people immediately came up from the tank maintenance truck behind and began to replace the tracks broken by the tractor, but the tractor was left in place for repair, and the rest bypassed it and continued to move forward.
This repair could not be replaced without an hour, and the army could not wait.
Anyway, there was already a surplus of minesweeping tractors, and the damage of one did not affect the entire marching plan.
Ye Hu Neisi didn't have many anti-tank guns in his hands, and after the only anti-tank gun that was ambushed and prepared to make a contribution was captured, there were no other ambushes.
After more than two hours, Sun Desheng's tank battalion successfully cleared the minefield and entered the vicinity of Nakechuan City.
Looking at the defensive positions crisscrossed by barbed wire and trenches not far away, Sun Desheng did not rashly attack, this kind of position may also have dug anti-tank trenches, and his single tank battalion did not need to risk being trapped in the trenches, but waited for the infantry to come together and attack in a coordinated way.
Before that, first of all, the work of the artillery battalion.
Soon, Sun Desheng heard the whistling sound of 75mm mountain artillery and 107mm rocket artillery, and then saw that in the sky, shells fell on the little devil's position, and vaguely saw that the flesh and blood of the little devil were lifted into the air!
Even if he doesn't have Gao Jianwu's magical precision artillery ability, when carrying out surface strikes, artillery is still worthy of being the king of war, smashing the enemy's positional defenses!
