Chapter Ninety-Eight: Goal! Bomb Yamato, Nagato!
At night, the command of the Left Front.
"These devils are really crazy. Bushido, as expected, is a very evil thing. โ
Looking at the battle report sent from the front line, Commander Yang shook his head helplessly.
In the daytime battle, the troops, spearheaded by the 3rd Tank Battalion, defeated the motorized infantry wing of the cavalry group without danger.
The devils have also tried to fight to the death, but with anti-tank trenches and ordinary infantry alone, they are not at all the opponents of infantry and artillery coordination.
Faced with coaxial machine guns and nearly a thousand fighters, the Japanese could only watch as the defense line was broken through again and again.
After tearing open a large gap, the follow-up troops began to extend along the breach to the two flanks, and then fully occupied the second line of positions of the Mongolian army and completed the clearance.
In fact, given the difference in strength between the enemy and us, if it were an ordinary small European country, or even a super-army power that has only held out for more than a month, it would have surrendered its guns a long time ago.
But the Mongolian army, even if they tried their best, tried to break the front teeth of the Eighth Route Army. This crazy approach made Commander Yang, who loved soldiers like a son, extremely distressed.
Hearing the words of his own commander, Chief of Staff Xiong on the side subconsciously said:
"In terms of the degree of closed brainwashing, Xiao Ri said that he was the second, and no one in Asia dared to call him the first. When I was studying, I once heard a saying that when you peel off the skin of a Japanese person, you will find bushido. โ
"But looking at the crazy appearance of those devil infantrymen, they must have been drugged before charging."
Hearing this, Commander Yang pursed his lips.
In the early days of the war, due to the poor equipment of the troops, the Eighth Route Army also organized commandos similar to death squads.
At that time, when encountering the devil's heavy machine gun bunkers, fire points stuck in traffic arteries, armored vehicles and tanks, the commandos could only hold explosives bags and harden them.
However, even if their own comrades are determined to die, they will not directly use suicidal attacks in the first place.
But the devil in front of him didn't know how to write dead words.
In the confrontation just now, some people even tied explosives directly to their bodies and drilled into the tank without saying a word.
In the face of these explosive packets moving with the help of smoke grenades, even though Battalion Commander Liu made targeted commands and adjustments, more than a dozen vehicle groups were still forced to withdraw from the battlefield.
After thinking for a moment, Commander Yang explained to several staff officers in the room:
"After dawn, let the 3rd Tank Battalion not rush to launch a general attack."
"Those elite infantry must be a very small number of people in the Mongolian army. Without them, the devil will definitely send a chariot wing at the bottom of the box to fight. โ
"I can't do this kind of thing with a light tan to hit a middle tan. If the casualties were too great, the deputy commander-in-chief and Commander Xu would definitely not be able to spare me. โ
Judging from the current actual combat experience, the 37 gun can penetrate the front of the 97-type medium tank, and the small crispy skin of the 95-type light tank is not a problem.
But in the same way, the main guns of the enemy's two tanks can also tear through the cicada-style armor. In the case of mutual penetration, it would be a very loss-making business to let the third tank battalion fight.
After all, these armored soldiers are very valuable, and they are the troops of the Eighth Route Army at the current stage of the teaching team. In the future, when there are enough advanced tanks, the vast majority of fighters in the tank regiment can be promoted to one or even two ranks.
What stinky fish and rotten shrimp your cavalry group is not worthy of exchanging with the crew of the 3rd Tank Battalion.
Although Commander Yang has not yet made his arrangements clear, the tacit understanding over the years immediately made Chief of Staff Xiong guess the other party's thoughts, and he preemptively spoke:
"Director Huang once said something that I think is very suitable for the current scenario. In dealing with devils, we must follow two basic principles: cheap and efficient. โ
"Call the 2nd Air Division, and let friendly close support aircraft deal with enemy tanks. Armor hedging? Let's wait until there is a Zhongtan in the future. โ
"There are still two tank divisions on the Kwantung Army's side, which is enough for our armored troops to train their hands."
As soon as these words came out, Commander Yang immediately showed a satisfied smile.
Compared with the less mature armored forces, its own air force has long been in Asia, and even famous in the world because of some unknown secrets.
Besides, whether it was when Desan swept Western Europe, or now on the Eastern Front. As long as tanks appear, there will inevitably be close-range support aircraft in the sky.
Although, for technical reasons, aviation is not very effective in striking armored forces. The so-called tank killers and tank openers are mostly just unrepresentative cases.
However, as long as there are enough fighters dispatched at one time, the total number of sorties in a single day is enough. Even if you change your book to build a drawing car like the Type 5 Chinese War, you won't be able to withstand the terrifying bombing of the Eighth Route Army.
Bushido?
Hopefully, when the bomb hits your head, you'll still be brave.
"That's right, that's what I thought!"
"Send a message to the squadron of the 2nd Air Division, there are dozens of tanks that can be blown up tomorrow, and how many battles you can get depends on your ability."
It was only at this point in time that Rudel had received his first Iron Cross. In addition to blowing up and sinking the battleship Marat, his record is really not as brilliant as Fang Ziyi.
Of course, when it comes to destroying the battleship, our Eagle of the Republic of China will definitely have a chance in the future.
It's a big deal to get land-based bombers on board, and it's really not okay to make a temporary cameo as a sea bomb pilot. As for the choice of targets, we certainly can't fill up with antiques from the First World War like the Marat.
How about Nagato?
It has been stopped at the port of Yokosuka in Kanagawa in the later stages, and it has become one of TG's achievements than being used as a target ship to test the power of mushroom bombs by the ugly country.
Or, to put it a little more arrogantly, directly target the Hiroshima Bay Garrison Fleet before June 1942.
At that time, there were 80 356 and 16 410, as well as the proud battleship Yamato of the Combined Fleet. Anyway, it must be earlier than the Doolittle air raid, so why can't you blow up a wave along the way.
What's more, this route can also kill the Etajima Naval Academy, and see if the book can still be very energetic when it is bombed.
Plan to pass!
Very reasonable!
With this vote, TG can definitely leave a strong mark in the world's military history.

"The motorized infantry wing suffered more than 2,300 casualties, including more than 1,900 jade crushers. More than seventy percent of the basic infantry weapons were lost, and three Type 92 infantry guns were also damaged. โ
It is clear that the casualties and losses far exceeded the expectations of the devils.
Compared with Commander Yang's relaxed freehand, the staff of the entire cavalry group was all sad, and Rao was known for his steadiness Nishihara Yice, who also had the urge to run away.
A fully reinforced, replenished unit, was crippled in just one battle, and more than two-thirds of the soldiers were crushed.
This kind of war report makes the old devil's heart bleed.
"Hey, is this how the Eighth Route Army felt back then?"
Looking at the third line of defense in the distance, Nishihara Kazuce sighed faintly.
At this moment, he thought of the feat of the Fifth Division breaking through North China and attacking Taiyuan.
Back then, Seishiro Itagaki was also the vanguard of the armored forces, relying on the absolute superiority of firepower, attacking all the way and breaking through, as if no one was in a land.
When it was their turn, everyone pulled their hips.
But come to think of it, although there are now three divisions and three independent mixed brigades, the Eighth Route Army in front of them is also several times stronger than the Locust Army at the beginning of the war.
After all, throughout the entire history of operations, even in the Battle of Nomenhan, there has never been a situation in which the enemy fired nearly 10,000 shells at the position of a wing.
After thinking for a while, the old devil first took a sip of water and cleared his throat, and then ordered to the staff officers:
"Prepare for battle, let's attack at night tonight, and we must recapture the second line of defense. If this continues to be consumed, only death awaits the cavalry group. โ
As soon as these words came out, all the staff officers in the command post showed shocked expressions, and even a young devil who couldn't hold his breath stood up and said.
"Night raid? Are you sure? โ
"But the enemy is attacking now? We're on the defensive! โ
The staff officer hit the muzzle of the gun, and saw Nishihara Kazuse get up from his seat angrily, and a big fight slapped the opponent's face.
Because the old devil was in a bad mood, he even used all his strength to slap his subordinates, and directly hit the corners of his subordinates' mouths with blood.
"Yaga! Is that how you talk to your superiors? Are you a loner and want to commit the following crimes? โ
"The battle has been fought so far, and only offense can win a glimmer of life for the group! Squatting in the pit in place is completely chronic suicide! The 26th Division is a lesson from the past! โ
Just two hours earlier, Kazusaku Nishihara had received a telegram from his right-wing comrade-in-arms, Otozaburo Yano.
The 26th Division, under the onslaught of the Eighth Route Army's infantry and tans, suffered heavy losses, losing the strength of two wings in just one afternoon of fighting.
The positional warfare system that was once proud of itself was completely insignificant under the large number of shells.
In fact, Nishihara Kazuse also thought about retreating, but after careful consideration, he gave up his plan to run away.
Not to mention whether Okamura Ninji and Ganji Jutaro will send themselves to a military court, the Eighth Route Army alone will definitely not easily let go of the fat of the cavalry group.
He has already gotten into the pockets arranged by the enemy, how can people not tie their pockets tightly.
After a while, the old devil emphasized again with murderous aura:
"There is a saying in the Eighth Route Army that the day is the enemy's, and the night is ours."
"By using night combat and close combat, you can make the most of your strengths and avoid weaknesses, suppress your opponent's strengths and play to your own strengths. The air power of the Republicans is very strong, but as far as I know, they are not equipped with night fighters! โ
"And fighting at night, you need to throw a lot of flares, I don't think the Eighth Route Army has enough stocks!"
"No those damn cannons and planes! The enemy will be revealed! Isn't it just fighting bayonets! We locust armies are never afraid! โ
"Hey!" (End of chapter)
