[69 Book Bar-www.] Chapter 132 The Kwantung Army is in decline
Ghost has been insisting on fighting against the Japanese army, attacking various Japanese convoys and seizing a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition. This has allowed the anti-Japanese situation in the Northeast to be maintained. However, as time goes by, Xiaolong feels more and more that great changes have taken place in the Japanese army.
As the main force of the Japanese army's crusade, the combat quality of the Kwantung Army's garrison troops has dropped too much. Their shooting is inaccurate, and their technical and tactical movements are no longer flexible. The equipment has also become weaker. The original squad was equipped with two crooked rifles.
There is only one machine gun now.
The two grenade launchers also turned into one.
Everything is no longer what it used to be. The Japanese army can't help but fight. Now it's no longer a matter of a ghost brigade to fight against a Japanese regiment.
Moreover, the Japanese defense forces are not as dense as before. There are also a large number of Chinese soldiers among them.
Even the food is not as good as before.
I have started to eat whole grains.
All five brothers returned to the base.
All relevant personnel were convened and the third important strategic meeting in the history of the Phantom was held. A seminar was held specifically on the current status of the Japanese army and the situation at home and abroad to formulate the future operational direction of the Phantom.
First, Xiaowu reported on the recent movements of the Japanese army. Then Yamaguchi reported on the latest military status of the Japanese army in the Northeast, as well as the intelligence on the Japanese army collected by the electronic special warfare brigade, and the intelligence analysis of the staff department.
After a few comparisons, I saw the problem...
First of all, the number of new divisions recently expanded by the Japanese army is no longer an A-level division. It has fallen to a quasi-B division. The age of the supplementary personnel is also older than younger, and the number of soldiers is insufficient. The weapons and equipment are also from
The original two machine guns per team were reduced to one machine gun, and the grenade launchers were also reduced from the original two to one.
The training of the troops is seriously insufficient, with only one month. Veterans from ten divisions have already gone to fight on the southern front. Troops from five divisions have been transferred back to the Japanese mainland defense.
Looking at it this way, the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Northeast is obviously on the decline. It seems that according to the strategic analysis mentioned by mzd, it should have reached the stage of strategic counterattack.
Our previous operations were mainly based on mountain guerrilla warfare, using light weapons. In the future, we should focus on heavy weapons and large-corps operations, with fast speed and rapid response. Then we will form a rapid reaction force.
Speed up the construction of mechanized troops. How about training armored troops first?
"It all depends on big brother."
"Okay, then find out all the literate people in the army and train them to drive cars and tanks. I'll find a place. Xiao Wu, Yamaguchi, you guys will strengthen the investigation of the Kwantung Army's arsenal. We need a large amount of arms and food.
.Equipment Items".
"I understand, boss."
Just do it, Xiaolong found a place in the back mountain of Daheidingzi. It was a hilly area, including mud ponds and swamps. It was a good natural training place.
It is also surrounded by mountains and is very secluded.
The ghost found a total of 300 people and built a village military camp there. The fourth brother was responsible for the training. Under the protection of the fourth brother's wolf teeth, the other troops still went out to fight and intensified the intensity of the attack.
In this way, the ghost persisted until the early spring of 1944. The training was completed. It was about to be tested in actual combat. Where should I do the surgery? I chose Zhuhe. There were Japanese troops, food, and munitions.
When the ice and snow melted, the troops came to the vicinity of the Pearl River and trampled all the plates.
"To report back to the boss, there is mainly a brigade of the Japanese army in Zhuhe. There is also a squad of Japanese military police and a brigade of the Anguo army."
The troops launched an offensive formation.
First, it cut off the Japanese army's contact with the outside world. The troops used artillery. After the shelling, tanks were dispatched. The shelling and gunfire were invincible. Several special operations troops provided cover behind them. After breaking into the town, they immediately spread out their troops and attacked.
From all directions, the Japanese troops could not resist and kept attacking.
Xiaolong didn't want to live, and there was no extra food to feed them. The troops completed the operation in just over half an hour and began the work of collecting supplies, food, enemy and puppet assets. They were familiar with the road and soon pulled out of the Pearl River...including the tank driver.
They all got on their horses and ran out of the Pearl River.
The troops quickly moved towards Yanshou, Fangzheng and Yilan, sweeping the front line and seizing a large amount of materials and ammunition.
While fighting, Ghost practiced the cooperation between tank operations and infantry. He gradually became more proficient and gained new experience in fighting enemy tanks. He also learned how to ensure the safety of tanks when tanks attack forward.
The ghost troops here are practicing, and the Kwantung Army over there can't sit still.
"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, the Japanese troops on the line from Zhuhe to Yilan were attacked by tanks and lost one regiment of soldiers."
"Nan Nai? Where did the tank troops come from? How many are there? What type of tanks are they?"
"There are about a hundred of them, all Qiha tanks produced by the empire."
"How come there are so many?"
"The arms warehouses we robbed should have these. Especially the strategic warehouse in Hunchun Mountain, which has more than 200 vehicles."
"What do you think about this problem? Where is their approximate lair?"
"This has not been investigated clearly yet. It is under investigation."
"Order Kasahara to speed up."
However, this tank unit disappeared in Heilong. There was no sound again. But it appeared again in Jilin. First in Huadian, and then in Panshi. Both places. While fighting, intelligence personnel were also dispatched to monitor
The movement here.
This is because Xiaolong received a telegram from the General Staff.
The Japanese Kwantung Army has hoarded a large amount of arms in Gongzhuling. Its arsenal is said to be the largest in Asia, with about 2 billion U.S. dollars of arms and supplies stored there.
This is a fat piece of meat.
Don't give anyone a discount.
Xiaolong then decided not to provoke the Kwantung Army, but only to harass the surrounding areas.
Xiaolong was testing the Japanese army's reaction to the troops fighting here.
"In a few days, they actually appeared in these two places again? Why so fast? The tanks are not that fast? Are they two troops?"
The large Japanese troops moved towards these two places again, and Xiaolong moved towards the Hunjiang River in Huadian. In Jilin, he led the Japanese troops around the mountains. When he got the opportunity, he took out his tanks to surround and annihilate a Japanese regiment-level unit.
When the large Japanese army entered the encircled mountainous area, Xiaolong jumped out again and reached the boundary of Shuangyang.
This time he no longer ran away. Xiaolong was determined to fight head-on with the Japanese army. He was always on the sidelines (dialect: running away). He was really a coward. He had a tank, so why should he be afraid of him?
