Chapter 146 Land and Air Coordinated Leapfrog Tactics
"Okay, okay, good fight, Zheng Dongguo, I want to report to the Ministry of Military Affairs to celebrate your achievements!!!" The only three-story British building in the town, Du Yuming stood behind the binoculars and waved his fists excitedly after the binoculars. Since entering Myanmar, except for the great victory of Ren'anqiang, the Expeditionary Force has been defeating the battle, constantly failing and retreating, and completely erasing the Chinese soldiers' determination to win. They need a victory to cleanse the shame.
In the command center, a group of military and political leaders were still gathered in front of the huge combat sandbox and the combat map to carefully plan the battle process below. Everyone had a comfortable smile on their faces. After all, an old army that had been defeated suddenly won one day, so this confidence was definitely full of geometric values. Several confidential staff members who copied the telecommunications room wanted to break their backs when they went to the telecommunications room. The proud and proud posture looked like a arrogant big rooster, which caused several young female correspondents in the telecommunications room to smile shyly.
"The report headquarters, the front-line troops call, have successfully completed the encirclement of the Japanese vanguard, and the encirclement is constantly shrinking."
"Reporting to the head of the report, General Chennard's eight P-40 "Warhawk" squadrons of the 14th Air Force have successfully cleared the airspace with a diameter of 200 kilometers, and all Japanese fighter jets have been completely destroyed or expelled!"
"Master, no, Master, the Japanese troops were defending the dangerous situation. Chief Qiu's armored troops were attacked by the Japanese army. Two of the four T-26 tanks were destroyed, one was seriously injured, and the other track was blown up and could not participate in the war!!!"
Just as the good news came like rain, an adjutant of staff hurriedly ran into the command center.
"What? What did you say? Four tanks were attacked!!!" Du Yuming immediately jumped up like a cat with his tail stepped on. You must know that the armored troops led by Qiu Qingquan are the treasures under his Fifth Army. The total number is no more than one hundred. Now four of them are attacked and lost their combat power. How can he not feel sorry for him? This is digging meat from his heart.
"Yes, Chief Du, four T-26 tanks were attacked by the Japanese army in suicide and completely lost their combat effectiveness." The Adjutant of Staff reported.
"Send the order!" Just as Du Yuming was about to get angry, Song Yuanming's cold voice sounded. Everyone present heard the cold and stinging sound at the same time. Even Du Yuming, who had lost four treasure tanks, immediately stood at attention. Song Yuanming's cold eyes swept the generals in the combat hall: "Communication soldiers, send orders! First, the frontier troops maintained an encirclement, and all troops retreated two kilometers in a surround.
2. The Fifth Army Heavy Artillery Regiment, after the front-line troops retreated two kilometers, launched a cover shelling attack on the remnants of the Japanese army. Remember, you must pay attention to the connection between the shelling and the retreat and the density of the shelling. After the shells were all gone, you turned around and asked the 14th Air Force to airdrop for you. 3. Call General Chennard immediately. While the heavy artillery regiment started shelling, the Flying Tigers' planes also bombed me! I want to use bombs to cook a pot of steel broth for the Japanese!!!”
"The Chinese army... The Chinese army retreated!" (Japanese) On a hill outside the town, a dangerous place guarded the remnants of the Japanese army. A high-ranking soldier in front of the observation post saw the Chinese army keeping a siege and quickly retreating backwards. He jumped out of the sentry and shouted loudly. With a muffled "bang", a blood flower suddenly burst out from the upper-ranking soldier's chest. A veteran of the expeditionary army, four hundred meters away, slowly lowered the Zhongzheng rifle, which was still emitting light smoke at the gun, and spat disdainfully.
"Sir, the Chinese army has retreated!" (Japanese) In the temporary command center, an adjutant reported to Harada Dong. The old devil was very strong and escaped from the heavy siege of the expeditionary army. He brought the remaining troops to the mountain to resist tenaciously. With this spirit alone, he could be regarded as a fanatical militarist. However, Harada Dong's luck was good, and Masato Nakai's luck was not very good. When Harada Dong retreated, he was targeted by a tank and was blown to pieces by the main gun.
"Retreat? They won't retreat just because they lost four tanks." (Japanese) Harada Dong walked out of the command center and said in confusion. As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the roar of fighter planes came from the southwest sky. When the Flying Tigers had completely cleared the field, Harada Dong could not think it was his own plane. He shouted: "US aircraft! Hidden! All......" As soon as he finished speaking, a harsh roar came from the air, and a red stream of light hit the nearby area hard. Then a rocky explosion was shaking. The violent shock wave tore Harada Dong into pieces like tearing paper. The fireworks dissipated, and the previous command center and a group of remaining soldiers had completely disappeared, replaced by a huge bomb crater with a diameter of more than ten meters.
The first test shot was accurately hit, so there was no need to be polite next. With a call, a whole heavy artillery regiment, 24 German 150mm heavy howitzers and 26 national 100mm howitzers were fired in a round of salvos, the elevation of the mountain occupied by the Japanese army was completely reduced by two meters. In the gap between the shooting of the group of guns, the Flying Tigers' P-40 "War Eagle" also flew over the mountain. With a "swish--" sound, a thousand-pound bomb shook straight down, and the tail of the bomb frigates and the air made a heart-pounding howling sound. With a loud bang, the bomb directly exploded a gorgeous mushroom cloud on the mountain.
After an hour of shelling and bombing, the entire mountain was directly flattened, and the Japanese soldiers on the mountain were dead and could not die any more.
"General, report to General, the Japanese army that resisted has been completely eliminated. Chief Qiu asked whether to continue to advance!" The Adjutant of Staff hurriedly ran into the combat hall again. Song Yuanming pondered for a moment, turned around and walked to the battle map, picked up a red and blue pencil to draw a blue arrow in the direction of the Japanese 33rd Regiment, a standard roundabout way! After drawing one stroke, Song Yuanming threw the red and blue pencils back to the table with a sudden hand: "After order Qiu Qingquan's troops to replenish supplies on the spot, and then penetrated into the 33rd Regiment of the Japanese army in this direction, I want to make it impossible for him to look after each other!!!"
"You are crazy, the journey is 200 kilometers! Moreover, the 33rd Regiment of the Japanese Army is a mechanized unit, no longer than the previous vanguard of the Japanese army. They are not only powerful in combat, but also have a large amount of heavy equipment, armored vehicles and tanks! Aren't you let Caizi Qiu die?" Du Yuming was the first to quit. The loss of four tanks before was enough to make him feel hurt. Now Song Caizi (the nickname given to Song Yuanming by Du Yuming) is actually going to pay for all his armored troops. Not only Du Yuming, but even Sun Liren couldn't sit still. After all, he had never seen such a way of playing.
"The heavy equipment and armor cluster of the 33rd Regiment? It must be taken to the battlefield to get the strength!!!" Song Yuanming said coldly. Because of the line on the road to Zhihu, the heavy troops of the 33rd Regiment of the Japanese army were moving slowly. Myanmar's climate was wet and the roads were muddy, which had a great impact on the progress of the heavy troops. In the air, Major McGrath of the 14th Air Force was driving a wild horse. This wild horse was not a wild horse galloping on the grassland, but a famous P-51a type wild horse fighter that was known as the "best fighter in World War II"!
"McGrath, search for the third team report, and found the Japanese heavy-armed cluster at three o'clock!" (English) In the headphones, the voice of the teammates rang, and a sneer appeared on the corner of McGrath's mouth: "Neil, Ken, take your team with you, find the Japanese heavy-armed troops at three o'clock, and start working!!!" (English)
The commander of the 33rd Regiment Regiment complained about the damn weather in Myanmar and looked at the gloomy sky again. Just as he was looking up at the sky, a Mustang fighter broke out from the clouds, and ten rockets under the wings spewed out the flames of death. A group of huge fireballs suddenly rose from the Japanese heavy-armed group. The first Mustang fighter that had shot all the rockets climbed at a high elevation angle to the appropriate attack position and immediately began a dive at a seventy-degree angle. Ken, who was sitting in the cockpit, was overloaded by several g, aimed at the direction, pressed the bomb drop button, and two 2,500-pound bombs soared straight down.
"Boom boom--" When the Mustang fighter jet driven by Ken flew out two hundred meters, huge flames and explosions rose up in the Japanese armored cluster behind him. The attack lasted for fifteen minutes. After the Mustang squadron threw away all the rockets and bombs, the entire armored cluster of the 33rd Regiment had been successfully erased from the Japanese combat sequence and completely erased.
The leap-frog tactic of land and air coordinated, the air force eliminated the enemy's heavy troops and armored clusters, and then the home-side armored clusters on the ground quickly penetrated and advanced. This move was tried and tested by the US military in local wars in the 21st century. Today it was moved to the battlefield in Myanmar, and it seemed to be effective.
