Chapter 611 The Song of Multiple Turrets (12)
How could it become like this?! When did the firepower of the Central China Army become so fierce!? It’s completely different from what the intelligence said!
The Japanese troops who were at the forefront were not intercepted by artillery fire. They thought that the enemy had been stunned and disabled by the crazy artillery fire preparations from their side, so they rushed to the front in one go. Little did they expect that this was an unconventional act.
The tactics are also the result of a mistake!
The Japanese army has conducted in-depth research on China's relatively special Zhu Bin Corps, and believes that the reason why they have not expanded in size within seven or eight years is that they are limited by their economic level and comprehensive war mobilization capabilities. With a force of 200,000,
It is supported by more than half of the country's wealth, and it is impossible to expand.
As for the automated weapons, semi-automatic rifles and large numbers of machine guns and cannons they installed, facts have proven that if they were installed at the million-unit level, even the four Chinas would not be able to handle it. Even wealthy Americans would have to consider it.
Therefore, when intelligence pointed out that China was about to mobilize for war and to field new semi-automatic rifles that consume a lot of bullets, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters concluded after careful research that they were either bluffing or looking for trouble. Not to mention the fielding of 170 rifles.
It takes a year to produce weapons for ten thousand troops, and hundreds of millions of bullets are not easy to produce. Does China have so much copper?
Moreover, the doubling of ammunition consumption has brought about a doubling of logistics work, as well as the integration and preparation of roads, logistics, raw materials, etc., which cannot be achieved by just patting the head. Even if they go into battle, it will only
It may be used by small-scale troops. Or it may be exhausted after fighting for a while.
This result also provided a perfect excuse for another judgment of the General Staff Headquarters. After being defeated by Zhu Bin's powerful automatic weapons and equipment twice in a row, the Japanese Army seriously conducted a full demonstration and modeled the Sten submachine gun on
A Type 98 submachine gun that uses 32-round or 50-round magazines and 8mm bullets like southern pistols.
However, after various experimental tests, the conclusion is that the Japanese army is not suitable for using automatic weapons. Not only do they consume a lot of ammunition, the shooting range is short and the power is too small, it cannot penetrate the opponent's body armor at all, and it is not suitable for long-range and close-range shooting.
Imperial soldiers trained in bayonet tactics. This thing can be equipped with special forces in small quantities. Large-scale deployment will have no benefit except doubling the logistical pressure and wasting national wealth.
Of course, they will never admit that the cost of a Type 98 submachine gun is three times that of a Meiji Type 38 rifle. Japan is short of resources and financially tight. It doesn’t have that much money to waste.
But what happened today? I encountered such fierce firepower right out of the gate! Could it be that everything passed down from above was wrong?!
Most of the Japanese troops in the front squadron were killed in the blink of an eye. It was impossible for a small number of them to turn back. The troops behind were blocked by the explosive iron curtain formed by dense mortar shells. The commander watched helplessly as the troops in front of him were attacked.
The warriors were swept away by the storm
The bullets were pressed firmly on the spot, and then the elite soldiers of the Central Training Corps roared out of the trenches, armed with P-38 submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles with bayonets, and fired while striding forward to kill all the remaining soldiers.
captive!
They felt depressed, and Sima Jinming felt even more unhappy!
Originally, according to the plan, they were to launch an attack in the early morning. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army took the lead. The plan was disrupted and the attack became a counterattack. But it didn't matter, it was just an appetizer!
The mortar barrage began to extend forward, and all the 60-caliber mortars were dismantled and carried on the soldiers' backs and rushed forward. The 81 and 120 heavy mortars mounted on the rear pushed the explosion to a 3-kilometer front, followed by the 75-caliber mountain artillery unit and began to cover 5
To the position of 10 kilometers
, the eighteen 150-meter heavy artillery pieces directly under the heavy artillery battalion brought the Japanese rear targets fifteen kilometers away into the attack range. In an instant, among the mountains and valleys at the northern foot of the Great Wall, whistling shells and earth-shattering explosions continued, and the flashes shone like dawn arriving early!
A regiment of soldiers from the 2nd mixed brigade of the Central Corps took the lead and rushed towards the northern mountains. Hundreds of vehicles carrying machine guns, mortars and recoilless rifles responded in parallel amidst the billowing smoke. A few "bayonet" tanks were sandwiched among them, like an enhanced version of the
The Japanese army swept across the battlefield like a violent wind!
Similar situations occurred one after another along the entire Great Wall defense line, rather than a single case. No matter which pass the Japanese army broke through, they were met with this crazy and tough blockade without exception, regardless of weapons and equipment, tactical methods, and combat skills.
Even the morale of the army was almost carved from the same mold. The several divisions responsible for the attack suddenly had the illusion that they had bumped into Zhu Bin's army. In just half an hour, reports of huge casualties were piled up in the Kwantung Army headquarters.
Desk.
"Na Mu?! We encountered the toughest resistance?! Their weapons and equipment were three times ours? The number of people lost exceeded 5,000!?"
Umezu Yoshijiro and Okamura Neji's eyes widened. They repeatedly confirmed that it was correct, and suddenly felt like they were dreaming.
How is this possible? There is only one group of Zhu Bin's army in the north, and the main force is in Mongolia. This is unmistakable. There are also several divisions distributed in the Pingjin area of Hebei. The other division that came out seems to be still moving forward.
When did we arrive at the Great Wall Defense Line?
No, if it were them, how could they prepare their own artillery fire for so long? It must be the strengthened Central Army and the local army. But... such force is too much!
Okamura Neiji's flexible mind immediately started to spin and he came to the conclusion that their previous intelligence had seriously misjudged! At least the current attacking forces of all Chinese forces are by no means as incompetent as before, at least their commanders are very good.
Unanimity is not something that the commonly known Huangpu sect and the outdated Continental sect can achieve!
After thinking briefly, Okamura Neiji made a decision: "No matter what, do not let them break the first line of defense, and do not allow the Chinese military to gain universal encouragement from victory. That will lead to irremediable consequences!"
The Chinese troops, except for Zhu Bin's regiment, are actually very afraid of fighting the Japanese army. This has been proven by countless intelligence and experience. As long as it doesn't go well at the beginning, they will quickly lose their energy and become hesitant and timid.
, or even being passive and slow at work.
On the other hand, if they fight very smoothly from the beginning and win, then their quick-thinking spirit will make them rush forward like crazy. That kind of life-threatening energy was something they had seen many times during the battle at the Great Wall.
Yes, this wind cannot last long!
Umezu Yoshijiro had nothing to say. He was already regretting not leaving this seemingly high-ranking place in advance. Chinese people are not as easy to bully as they were ten years ago. If they do something wrong, they will be disgraced. Ishihara Wanji is still smart.
A great victory, promotion and fortune, and a lifetime of success and fame.
The frightened Japanese army quickly regained their composure, and the second wave of attacking troops launched defenses on the spot. The artillery troops were not allowed to expose their targets and cherish their ammunition. They frantically shot out all the shells they could reach, and when the two armies were fighting
A brilliant barrage was thrown out, and the dense explosions made the tanks intimidated. The infantry simply couldn't take the risk of attacking --- this was not their job!
After a fierce attack and a fierce attack to kill the Japanese vanguard, the elites of the Great Wall defense line returned to the starting point, reorganized their equipment and waited for the next wave of battles.
The live battles were constantly summarized in the Xishan Theater Headquarters in Peking. Yan Laoxi, Zhu Bin, Song Zheyuan, Shang Zhen and Gui Yongqing gathered together to witness the progress of the unprecedented battle. Of course, the most important thing was that all the princes were
He was afraid that his elite would be sacrificed for no reason and his strength would be damaged, so he also wanted to make a good start at the beginning of the war.
The crazy bombing by the Japanese army made everyone on tenterhooks, but the result of the infantry counterattack that followed made them happy. The stingy Yan Laoxi rubbed his teeth and sighed: "It really makes a difference with good equipment! The Japanese army was actually beaten.
The fight was so miserable, it seems that this victory is no problem!"
"Yes! What the commander-in-chief said makes sense!" All the generals agreed.
Song Zheyuan looked sick and sighed with emotion: "If we had such powerful military equipment six years ago, how could we have allowed the Japanese invaders to cross the Great Wall and cause the humiliation of Tanggu? Chief Zhu deserves the most credit!"
Zhu Bin accepted everyone's compliments and compliments, and said with a smile: "Are you all relieved now? The Japanese army is not as strong as you thought, but it is really not that easy to open the gap from the front."
"It's very, very true! The left hook was very reasonable." A group of people quickly praised him.
They are all veterans who have been fighting for many years. Although their skills are not very good, they still have good vision. The Great Wall defense line is difficult to fight. The difficulty is that it is impossible to deploy large-scale troops among the high mountains, and it is difficult to supply. The air force, artillery, and armored forces have the advantage.
Not big, get entangled
It is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also unflattering. The most important thing is that they lack the confidence to fight their own soldiers against the well-trained and fierce Japanese army. If they really want to lose both sides, this will play into Chiang Kai-shek's plan.
It’s so miserable that you don’t even have the capital to live in an apartment!
But even so, most people don't take it seriously that Zhu Bin sent troops thousands of miles away from the grassland to fight in detours. It is just right to push forward to the northeast. How to solve the problem of supplies in the vast Gobi grassland for thousands of miles?
This is a conclusion that cannot be determined at the moment. Yan Xishan saw the ferocious artillery fire and tenacious confrontation of the Japanese army in his eyes. He rolled his eyes and asked Zhu Bin: "Brother Hanchen! I heard that your department has a large-scale
Can bombers directly bomb the Japanese mainland? Now that the war has begun, can a direct attack on Huanglong also seriously damage their morale? "
