Chapter 947 Unstoppable 1
Although the Japanese can be said to be "experienced in hundreds of battles", the level of their opponents is too low. If the experience system of a certain RTS game in later generations is applied, the Japanese have brushed the 311 monster points several times. ?? ? Every time Britain and France fight, they seem to be competing against each other's 80-population army. Can the experience be the same?
Since the Japanese army no longer had long-range heavy artillery that could support the front line, at the same time that armored units and infantry began to move, some artillery with a shorter range also began to move forward with the help of tractors or horses. A large number of vehicles, personnel, and horses shook the ground. From the air, they formed a huge arc front and surrounded Japan's right-wing third division.
When the Japanese army saw the billowing smoke raised by a large number of armored units passing by in the distance, after a small fight in 1895, Germany and Japan finally stood on the arena of the God of War again! This time, will the Japanese suffer the consequences of their previous humiliation, or will the German army achieve greater glory? let us wait and see!
"The Germans are coming, prepare to fight!" The guard troops on the flanks spotted their opponents first. It was difficult for the Japanese not to see the Japanese with the billowing smoke and dust in the distance! The Japanese troops of about 1600 people in the two brigades on the edge deployed defense under the command of grassroots officers. However, the open space at this time became their biggest defense problem. Without bunkers, it would be too late to dig foxholes. Most of them The person lay down on the spot and then aimed the rifle in his hand and released it.
Several artillery pieces and mortars that had been strengthened for the brigade were placed in the back position, ready to support at any time. The Japanese army prepared seriously and prepared to severely damage their opponents in the first field battle. They were full of confidence and high morale until I saw a German tank!
That was the first time that most Japanese officers and soldiers saw a tank charge. It had a gray-black body, heavy armor connected with rivets, a long 4m gun, a wide body and a machine gun on the front of the body. When more than a dozen tanks started running on the battlefield and formed a neat wedge-shaped attack front, the shock to the enemy was even greater than that of the heavy cavalry in the Middle Ages!
After all, you can use a phalanx of spears to deal with the cavalry, and you can use intensive shooting of crossbows. But now, the Japanese don't even have a few "spears" that can barely resist it. The 75mm artillery guns in the hands of the two brigades of Japanese soldiers can be counted on one hand! The 75mm artillery was placed on the flat ground without cover, and then a plaster flag was erected on it. I was really afraid that the opponent would not find it! What is the difference between this and selling with a sticker?
The German armored forces were not advancing very fast. A large number of infantry were crowded around the tanks and armored vehicles, just like the retinue of medieval knights. 1,800 meters away, the battalion's 82mm mortars began to set up positions. The soldiers unloaded the mortars from the specially-made vehicles. Because the opponent's suppressive firepower was not strong, the German artillerymen who were most eager to shoot and suppress directly placed the shells next to the artillery, then opened the ammunition box and placed the fuse.
The remaining troops continued to advance. At a distance of 1200 meters, 6m mortars began to be deployed, and the machine gun teams began to prepare for deployment. Most of them concentrated on both sides of the attacking troops, using side fire to cover the advance of the main attacking corps.
At this moment, the German tanks began their first round of attack!
When a yellow signal flare was fired from the command vehicle located left of center, all the Cricket tanks stopped and their slender 2-pounder guns were aimed at the distance. Then each tank was responsible for a small sector. When the enemy behind them When the artillery team fired the first round of shelling, 2-pound shells like raindrops also covered it at the same time. 15 cricket tanks fired more than three-digit shells in less than ten seconds!
Naturally, the first thing to be focused on were the flat-fire cannons with plaster flags. Before the Japanese 75-meter cannon could fire a few shells at the distant target, it was shattered into a pile of fragments in a series of explosions. Although the power of the 4m artillery shell is not great, relying on a group of 7 shells, the explosive power in an instant is still very terrifying. It is regarded by German officers and soldiers as the best weapon to deal with uncovered infantry!
The barrage rolled forward like a violent storm, and the machine guns on both sides, the battalion and company mortars behind, and the crickets on the front fired wildly from a distance of 1,000 meters away. Continuous explosions sounded from the Japanese positions. Whether it was machine guns, a small number of artillery or mortars, the Japanese troops were easily eliminated before they could take effect on the positions pre-selected by the Germans. Every second, several or even double digits of Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces in the flying shrapnel. They had never imagined encountering such fierce firepower. They were even more miserable than the cavalry charging at the machine gun positions. , because the latter at least has some degree!
"Onboard!" I don't know who shouted this sentence for the first time, but this cry in extreme crisis and fear became the fuse that detonated the last courage of the Japanese army. The remaining Japanese soldiers did not hesitate. Facing the firepower of this machine gun and artillery, he stood up, and then rushed towards the German army on the opposite side like a moth throwing fire! At this time, the distance between the two sides was about 700 meters, and you can imagine how difficult it is to rush through the hail of bullets at this distance!
Yellow dots loomed in the smoke and fire. A large number of Japanese troops could not wait to face their opponents face to face, and they would be torn into pieces by the violent firepower. Flowers of blood bloomed on the ground, except for once or twice. In addition to facing the intensive charge of the French, the German army has never slaughtered its opponents so heartily. Well, the French at least pushed a large number of 75 guns and attacked under the cover of armored units, while the Japanese People really want to use bayonets and grenades to "communicate" with German tanks!
Countless soldiers fell on the road to charge. In just half a time after the two sides fought, most of the Japanese troops in the two brigades suffered heavy casualties in the fierce firepower. According to the reality of the post-war battle reports of the German Sixth Army, in a short time In forty minutes, the Japanese casualties were estimated to have reached four figures. This may be a bit exaggerated, but one thing is true. When the tracks of the German tanks rolled over the battlefield, the remains were left in shambles. The corpse and the deep blood marks cannot be faked.
The German army that launched the attack was an armored battalion, equipped with a fast battalion, plus 3 battalions of elite German infantry and a complete cavalry regiment. The double crushing force of troops and firepower made this battle without any suspense. After the two brigades of Japanese troops were defeated, the flanks of the Japanese Third Division had been exposed to the German attack. Although Taro Utsunomiya had received the news and was preparing to adjust the deployment of the troops, unfortunately, in Without enough heavy weapons and without the support of armored troops, it would be too difficult to block the German attack in an open field!
