The reason why Yoshio Shinozuka hid the tank regiment at the beginning was entirely based on the experience provided by other troops. Regardless of whether the Japanese admit it or not, on the current national battlefield, one thing is undeniable.
The Japanese tank technology and technical and tactical level have been far behind the cadet army. Before the introduction of the light tank, the Japanese placed their highest hopes on their latest tank, the Type 97 Chilo tank.
High hopes. Well, in the Second Battle of the Great Wall, Chilo entered the battlefield as the main tank for the first time. As a result, he was bound to lose every time he saw "Jiguang". In the later stages of the Second Great Wall Battle, he ran away when he saw Jiguang, unlike a tank.
He has become a desolate dog.
Chilo couldn't do it, and the Japanese took great pains to develop the Type 99. So what? In the Battle of Nanjing, Qian Guangming used a brigade of tanks to defeat a Japanese brigade of Type 99. After this battle, the Japanese were still clamoring for what they were going to do.
How to fight to the death with the Xuebing Army, but in their reliance, there is no trace of the chariot troops anymore.
If Ouyang Yun and Koizumi Toshiichiro did not appear in the history of this time and space, then although the Japanese tanks would be outstanding on the national battlefield, the Japanese would never pay too much attention to the development of tanks. The opponent's
Progress determines the level of one's own development. Yes, the fundamental reason why the Japanese now basically have separate tank units for Class A and Class B divisions is precisely because of the strength of the Xuebing Army's tank troops. Ouyang
What Yun Youyou didn't know was that it was precisely because he had invented the Jiguang tank early that Japan's tank experts and tacticians received more attention and support. When Koizumi Toshiichiro came to the world, now Japan
All the inventory and domestic old-fashioned tanks were deployed to the national battlefield in order to prepare for the replacement of products.
This is a secret of the Japanese army. Yoshio Shinozuka knew nothing about it. The reason why he treasured this tank regiment was because although the regiment was weak against the cadet army, it could not defeat the Japanese troops of other factions.
At that time, he was still the main force of the army.
When Ono's tank regiment was sent out to intercept Yang Jianfeng's regiment, Shinozuka Yoshio had the foresight and did not expect them to defeat Yang Jianfeng's regiment. His original request to Ono was: as long as they can stop it for two hours.
The task is completed.
Yoshio Shinozuka had a high opinion of Ono Moto. Of course, to put it another way, it can also be said that he had a high opinion of his own tank regiment. Ono Moto Ma and his soldiers did have the courage and determination, but how could they be mechanized?
Combat is not based on human will. Mechanical performance is the first factor that determines victory or defeat. So, a scene that stunned Yoshio Shinozuka and Isamu Yokoyama soon appeared.
Onomoto had just left the main force with his chariot troops, and Yang Jianfeng's regiment came forward to meet him. Then, the two sides began to shoot at each other from a distance of thousands of meters. Amidst the rumbling explosions, one after another strange vehicles
There were also old 99s in Luo that caught fire and exploded one after another. The more tragic ones were blown off the turret and turned into a pile of burning scrap metal.
The battle lasted only twenty minutes - it was not a battle on the same level at all. Whether it was Chilo or the old 99, the Japanese tank artillery had good skills and could hit the target frequently, but the result was not
It's incredible. After the "Boom" explosion, the hit "Mandrill" only had a few dents or scratches on its body. It paused for a moment and then continued to rumble over. On the other hand, Chilo and the old 99,
No matter where it is hit, even if it is hit and explodes, it will either turn into a pile of burning scrap metal, or it will lose its ability to maneuver and then be turned into a pile of scrap metal by another shot.
After twenty minutes of fighting, one tank of Yang Jianfeng's regiment was not damaged, but the infantry carried by it suffered more than a dozen casualties. Where was Onomoto's tank regiment? More than twenty tanks were destroyed, and others saw that the situation was not good.
The enemy turned around and ran away, causing a commotion among the infantrymen who were lagging behind.
Upon seeing this, Yoshio Shinozuka cursed: "Hagagaru! Ono Motoma, what on earth are you doing?" He was about to let the infantry who were lagging behind form a formation to snipe. Yokoyama Isamu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Shinozuka-kun
, I think it’s better to cross the river by force!”
"Forcibly crossing the river? What to do with the Chinese artillery?"
"Spread out so the Chinese can't organize artillery fire!"
Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the "Mandrill" tank regiment of the Cadet Army that was pushing towards the lagging infantry, and then looked at the surrounding terrain. In desperation, he had no choice but to issue an order, leaving Okada's 8th Brigade to snipe.
Pursue the enemy and let other troops advance to the upper reaches of Xiushui in large groups, and make it clear that as long as they can keep a distance of one kilometer from the large groups in front and behind, they can freely cross the river.
Yoshio Shinozuka's order may have been right, because as of nine o'clock that night, a total of nearly 25,000 people in the 10th Division and the 108th Division had successfully escaped the pursuit of the cadet army. Of course.
, if we consider that a total of more than 17,000 of them were wiped out, the losses were heavy, and their success in breaking through was too great.
The 10th Division and the 108th Division attacked first and then fled, and then suffered heavy casualties in the pursuit of several divisions of the Xuebing Army. After receiving the battle report from Motojiro Taniguchi, Sotake Yamamuro did not dare to continue to entangle with Jiang Tiezhang's third guerrilla division, and immediately led
The army withdrew to Madang.
On February 4, the Battle of Nanchang came to an end after the Japanese army successfully surrounded and annihilated the Fengxin Army in the Ninth War Zone of the Chongqing Government. The Israeli side had a great victory over the Japanese side and suffered a heavy defeat. In this battle, the Japanese 11th Army suffered a total of more than 150,000 casualties.
The number of casualties in the battle was more than 150,000. In addition, the 2nd Army suffered more than 17,000 casualties, and the killed were about 17,000. What about Fang? The Xuebing Army suffered more than 17,000 casualties, and the Chongqing Government's ninth
Casualties in the war zone were around 2,000.
After this news was published in the newspapers later that day, once it spread, it immediately shocked the world. The people in the unoccupied areas did not talk about it. It was an all-night party. What about the occupied areas? Even though the Japanese army tightened the blockade of public opinion, but this
As soon as the news of victory came, it grew like grass in the cracks of rocks in spring, and soon spread in the occupied areas.
This time, neither Nishio Hisao nor Hata Shunroku, no one dared to hide anything from the Tokyo base camp. So, just as various parts of the country were in carnival, the atmosphere at the Tokyo Imperial Palace, where the Japanese base camp was located, was like a national mourning.
Extremely dull and sluggish.
The whereabouts of Neiji Okamura was not disclosed by the Ninth War Zone, and the Japanese did not make a relevant statement. Therefore, the culprit who caused the Japanese army's defeat in the Battle of Nanchang did not appear in Emperor Hirohito's reprimand. Of course, according to the Japanese
According to the political practice, if the army suffered such a huge defeat on the front line, those responsible must be held accountable in the rear. So, the next day, Nobuyuki Abe stepped down, and the former Navy Minister and Commander of the Combined Fleet, Yonei Guangzheng, made a great comeback.
