Emotions and other things that touch people's hearts cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it. Zheng Dongguo did not understand the status of Yamato Soul in the minds of the little Japanese, so he naturally misunderstood and thought that the Japanese army's sudden renewed morale came from reinforcements. The Nameless Battle Since the start of the war, apart from the initial mistake by Kim Jong-hwa and his brigade to capture the unnamed position, the progress made today can be called historic, because once the Southern Front Army between the unnamed position and Malan is annihilated or driven out, the Third Expeditionary Group Army will will have the opportunity to change the deadlock in Ganbang. Therefore, even if the original purpose was just to help the Nanyang Fleet share the pressure, now, with the situation so good, Gu Zhutong's so-called "not cost-effective" is just words. It will definitely not be put into practice.
Under Sun Liren's order, the reconnaissance aircraft unit of the Third Expeditionary Army immediately expanded the reconnaissance scope. When they expanded the reconnaissance scope to a radius of nearly 100 kilometers, they actually found signs of the Japanese army dispatching reinforcements. Zheng Dongguo The unintentional calculation turned out to be a miraculous prophecy. It must be said that since Gu Zhutong and Sun Liren decided to dispatch large-scale tank troops to attack the Southern Front Army, luck has been on the side of the Third Expeditionary Army.
The reinforcements came from the 183rd Division under the jurisdiction of the Western Front Army. This was also the only all-Japanese mechanized division in the entire Western Front Army. The purpose of the Western Front Army, in Koizumi Minichiro's vision, was to defend the Japanese troops on Sumatra Island. The Chinese army on the island, however, due to the protracted Battle of Malan, the Japanese army has been unable to gain a substantial lead due to its air force advantage. In addition, in the recent agreement between the United States and Japan, the United States will be responsible for the strategy Sumatra Island, so as early as two weeks ago, Koizumi directly called the Western Front Army and asked them to transfer the most elite 183rd Division to strengthen the Southern Front Army.
Originally, according to Koizumi Toshiichiro's idea, the 183rd Division would replace new tanks in Singapore and complete adaptability training before heading to the unknown battlefield. However, God's calculations failed, and at this time the Third Expeditionary Army launched an armored They launched a forceful attack and gained an overwhelming advantage in one fell swoop. When Masaharu Honma and Haruyoshi Hyakutake were still unable to change their disadvantage, Koizumi informed Miyamoto, the commander of the 183rd Division, before deciding to call the Yamato Spirit. The letter ordered him to immediately lead his troops to reinforce the unknown battlefield.
Koizumi's order was actually another misfortune, because the 183rd Division had only received the new "Agility" class tanks for only three days, and many tank crews had not yet fully adapted to the high mobility of the "Agility" class tanks. The risk of going to the front line to perform combat missions before you have adapted to the main combat equipment is quite high.
The 183rd Division, as a fully mechanized model division formed under the personal order of Koizumi Toshiichiro, has three regiments in total, including a tank company, a tank destroyer regiment, and an armored vehicle regiment. The three regiments total More than 300 tanks and nearly 200 armored vehicles drove toward the unknown position in a mighty manner. It was said that they would be easily detected by the Chinese reconnaissance plane. However, the real situation at that time was that the Chinese reconnaissance plane did not detect them on the spot. It wasn't until I went back and turned in the reconnaissance photos taken by random high-altitude cameras that the staff of the Third Expeditionary Army Headquarters saw the clues.
Some later military historians once studied this issue, that is, what would have happened if the Chinese army could not discover Miyamoto's division in advance in the final battle of the Unknown Battle.
As a senior Japanese general who was unknown in the history of that time and space, Miyamoto Nobu's rocket-like rise in this time and space was entirely due to the Americans. In the Third Battle of Australia, the armored troops he led repeatedly failed. Astonishing performances, the most miraculous one was when he used a tank squadron to raid a US division-level headquarters and achieved an impressive record of annihilating the US division-level headquarters. It was after this battle that he was Koizumi Minichiro took notice and was immediately promoted to captain of a tank regiment.
Miyamoto was very weird. After receiving Koizumi's order, although Koizumi's order required him to immediately lead his troops to support the unknown battlefield as quickly as possible, he did the opposite and did not lead his troops to set off immediately. Instead, it took about an hour to covertly modify the troops. After camouflaging all the tanks and armored vehicles, they chose a mountain road and headed towards the unknown position.
"We don't know how long the Southern Front Army can support it, so we must be prepared. By the time we arrive on the battlefield, the Southern Front Army has been defeated by the Chinese tank troops. Why, be afraid. There is nothing to be afraid of. China Human beings are human beings, and they have shortcomings. So if this happens, it will be a good thing for us, because it means that we have the opportunity to make great achievements. Everyone should take a careful look at this map and see if there is anything. Here, no matter what the actual situation is, this is an excellent breakthrough point." While his armored soldiers were busy putting camouflage on their tanks, Miyamoto Nobu convened a meeting with officers above the commander of the regiment and formulated a plan to follow. A combat plan that focuses on sneak attacks.
As mentioned before, when the Japanese army encircled Zheng Dongguo's headquarters on the unknown position, they laid mine arrays in the east and north to prevent the Chinese army from breaking out from there. Now, Miyamoto Nobu has set his sights on a position in the east. Minefield.
"I have found out clearly that near this point, our engineers were harassed by Chinese snipers when they were laying mines, so the mines laid were not too dense. The new 'sensitive' class tanks have considerable explosion protection after the thickening of the ground. The ability can just withstand the explosive power of this infantry mine. At that time, we will attack from here. I believe that because of the existence of the minefield, the Chinese Army's defense in this direction must be very weak."
The offensive route of the Miyamoto Division is very concealed. If the Chinese reconnaissance planes do not expand the reconnaissance range, they are certain to be unable to be discovered. In that case, today's unknown battle may not be called the final battle.
Since Miyamoto Nobu decided to carry out a sneak attack, he naturally had to guard against the reconnaissance of the Chinese reconnaissance aircraft. However, he obviously did not expect that the photographic equipment equipped on the Chinese reconnaissance aircraft had the highest resolution and the clearest imaging at present. Therefore, although he set up in front of the large army The reconnaissance team escaped the naked eye reconnaissance of the Chinese pilots when the Chinese reconnaissance plane flew over, but it could not escape the "eyes" of the high-altitude cameras equipped on the Chinese reconnaissance plane.
