The focus of the battle was still on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River. After the 45th Regiment was completely destroyed, Kanda Masakusa had to select a reinforcement group from the reserve force and reinforce Shi Feng with 3,000 Korean Co-Prosperity Army troops. Kanda Masakusa obviously did not expect the Battle of Lotus Pond.
The meeting ended so suddenly, so although he ordered to build preliminary fortifications at Shifeng, their strength was far different from that of the lotus pond. So, just one day later, Shifeng was broken through by the Guangxi Police First Division.
Under the bombardment of a rocket artillery regiment from the division, the Japanese mine array deployed in Longtoupu was destroyed. After Longtoupu was captured by the Xuebing Army, the Xuebing Army on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River actually cut off the link between Xiangtan and Changsha and other Japanese strongholds.
After making contact, He Zhengjiang formed a pocket to encircle and annihilate the Sixth Division.
On the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, Meilin Bridge, after the Zero heavy battle fortress that Miyamoto Zang Cunxiong painstakingly built was destroyed by the Guizhou Police Third Division, the Japanese army no longer had the ability to resist the Mandrill tanks. Although Miyamoto was reluctant, he had to dispatch
Zero tank destroyer.
The core technology and creativity of the Zero tank destroyer is actually the "Elephant" tank destroyer that the Japanese plagiarized from Germany. Of course, "the Yamato nation is the smartest ethnic group in the world", so the Japanese will never admit it.
, to hide it, the Japanese installed a lot of unnecessary facilities on their Zero, so the car would look very nondescript if put together with the "Elephant". This is exactly what Miyamoto and other front-line Japanese commanders are extremely dissatisfied with.
The reason why we are optimistic about it is that almost all the performance parameters of the Zero tank destroyer are similar to those of the "Elephant", but its protective capabilities and mobility are weaker. The reason is, on the one hand, the production technology of composite steel plates for armor protection of the Japanese army.
No, and Japan cannot produce diesel engines for tanks, so they can only use gasoline engines instead. The "Elephant" tank destroyer has many improvements compared to its brothers in that time and space, such as the addition of a vehicle-mounted machine gun.
Another example is the installation of a smoke launcher, which not only has the ability to charge Soviet infantry groups in a certain area, but also can adapt to more chaotic battlefield situations, such as the "Battle of Kursk" and the "Elephant" tank destroyer.
It was amazing that two German battalions with a total of ninety "Elephant" vehicles were able to compete with a brigade of Soviet armored units, and achieved a combat ratio of 31 to 72. It was a miracle. The results of this battle were surpassed by the Germans.
After informing the world through the power of electricity, the Japanese, who had repeatedly been defeated by the heavy tanks of the Mandrill, seemed to have seen a glimmer of light in the long night. They immediately sent people to Germany to celebrate the victory, and then based on a few photos, they started "Elephant"
formula copy.
After Shifeng and Longtoupu were occupied by the Xuebing Army, although Kanda Masakune still believed that he could win, his subordinates all seemed a little confused because of the fact that they were surrounded. He knew that he had to win a battle to boost morale.
, he studied the situation on various battlefields, and finally thought that he could severely counterattack the student army at Meilin Bridge, so he strictly ordered Miyamoto, Nishimura and Ishikawa to cooperate in fighting. They did not seek to annihilate the Third Gui Police Division, but they must
To knock down the arrogance of the Chinese, the Japanese army had a strength advantage but was suppressed by the cadet army. The key was that there was no tank unit that could match it. But in Kanda's view, even if the Zero tank destroyer was not an opponent of the Mandrill, it was
There should be no problem in using it for one-sided assault and suppression. Miyamoto, Nishimura and Ishikawa have a total of more than 23,000 troops. The Guizhou Police 3rd Division and He Zhengjiang's security brigade have a total of only 15,000 troops.
So, if the troops can fully carry forward the spirit of Bushido, it is still very successful to attack the 3rd Guangxi Police Division.
The good Zero Heavy Battle was transformed into a fortress. As a result, it was unable to escape from the incendiary bomb attack by the cadet army, and could only be burned into scrap metal in the blazing flames! In response, Sanada, the captain of the 6th Cavalry Regiment,
Keiji was quite complaining. He believed that as a tank soldier, it was a well-deserved death to die during the charge, but being burned to death in a tank was nothing. Miyamoto and others were extremely unfavorable to the Zero Heavy Combat and Zero Tank Destroyers.
Keiji Sanada doesn't think so. He insists that without experience, he has no right to speak. How good is the performance of the Zero Heavy Combat and Zero Tank Destroyer? Whether it is the opponent of the Mandrill, you have to fight it to know. Therefore, when
He learned that the headquarters intended to launch a counterattack at Meilin Bridge, so he approached Miyamoto and firmly requested to join the war, asking Miyamoto to let his tank troops rush to the front line.
Miyamoto Zang Cunxiong was not in favor of launching a counterattack at Meilin Bridge, but he also knew that the morale of the troops had been low to a dangerous level. Instead of dying in silence, it would be better to fight vigorously. He made such a decision in his heart.
Even if Sanada doesn't take the initiative to ask for a fight, he will send the Zero tank destroyer to the battlefield! If he fights back, the mandrills of the Xuebing Army will become the biggest obstacle. He even believes that the key to whether the counterattack can achieve certain results is
It depends on whether it can break through the mandrill's defense line.
Miyamoto always believed that it was correct to use the Zero Heavy Combat as a fortress, which could maximize the role of the Zero Heavy Combat. However, it was just an accident that the Xuebing Army used an incendiary bomb offensive! The Chinese people are too cunning, and
As a veteran of the Xuebing Army's tank unit, He Zhengjiang had a better understanding of tank warfare than him, so being defeated by him was not unacceptable. Miyamoto knew that Sanada had opinions about him because of the heavy battle with the Zero.
But he doesn't feel guilty about this, because the reason why this happened is not him, but the tanks designed by the so-called tank design experts in the country are really fucked up.
"Colonel Sanada, I agree with your request for a battle, but I must remind you that our tank destroyers may not be the opponents of the Mandrills, so the Toyota Advance Team must act together with the destroyer brigade. The Chinese destroyed our zero tanks with incendiary bombs.
They fought heavily against the fortress, tit for tat, and we also used incendiary bombs to deal with their mandrills. Remember, the Toyota Team will be the main force of this attack!"
"Your Excellency, I protest. In the confrontation between tanks, only the tank troops are the main force. The Toyota Standing Team, do they have a chance to get close to the Chinese tanks?" Sanada yelled, and he had long been worried about Miyamoto's response to the cavalry.
The Sixth Regiment was dissatisfied with the discrimination. At this time, it completely broke out. He left the chariot troops unused and relied on the suicidal tactics of the infantry. In his opinion, this was a disgrace to the chariot troops.
Sanada's reaction was expected by Miyamoto. He smiled coldly and said: "You can question my decision, but the facts will prove that I am right. I allow you to try, but please don't treat war as a child's play!"
(Old Poison: There was a sequence error in Chapter 499 Purgatory. Song Yi’s department should be the Second Gui Police Division instead of the Third Gui Police Division. This has been corrected!! Sorry!!)
