Chapter 547: Raise fire and burn the sky and burn the stubbornness (Five)
The destruction of Akita's brigade caused the retreating Japanese 213 team leader to be both shattered.
The 213th Regiment is just one step ahead of the Akita Brigade, and the distance is only one mile away. Without a telescope, you can see the Akita Brigade dancing on the Internet of Eighth Route Army tanks, armored vehicles, and cars woven fires.
The scene of the Second Regiment chasing and crushing the Japanese with tanks, armored vehicles, and car tires all fell into the eyes of the 213th Regiment Captain.
Not only did the 213th Regiment Captain see it, but also the soldiers under him.
The land weapon, a tank, was born during the First World War. At that time, a colonel named Ernest Winston from the British army came up with a way to break through the solid defense line formed by German trenches, barbed wire and machine gun fire points.
, it is to create a vehicle that can propel itself, with armored protection, which can not only cross trenches, but also defend against the penetration of machine gun bullets. At that time, British Navy Secretary Winston Churchill was very interested in Colonel Swinter's idea.
A "Court of the Land" was organized to conduct the experiment, and then Lieutenant Triton and Walter Wilson were appointed to design the first locomotive.
In 1916, the UK produced the "Mark" Type 1 tank, with diamond-shaped outer contour and rigid suspension. There were protruding gun mounts on both sides of the car body. Two tracks were circumvented from the top, and a pair of them extended out from the back of the car.
Steering wheel. This tank crews 8 people, including two types: "male" and "female". The "male" is equipped with 2 57mm cannons and 4 machine guns, while the "female" is equipped with only 5 machine guns. September 15, 1916
On the day, 32 "Mark" 1 tanks were put into the Somme Battle for the first time. At that time, in order to keep it confidential, the UK described this new weapon as a "water tank" (English "tank") that sent water to the front line. As a result, the name was
To this day, "tank" is the transliteration of this word.
Although tanks have emerged in World War I and major countries have developed tanks after World War I, there are debates on the role of tanks and how they are used in the international military theory community. For example, Britain and France are both mechanical and
A completely different approach was adopted in tactics. The British believed that tanks were mobile combat vehicles, and their functions were to repel enemy resistance and destroy barbed wire mesh and cross trenches to reduce the possibility of enemy infantry attacks. The French believed that the function of tanks was armored transportation.
The soldiers can pass through unmanned areas without casualties, cross wire and trenches, transport infantry to enemy lines in batches, and then unload them. Of course, this is the early differences about tanks. At this time, countries around the world
The manufacturing level and application theory of tanks have been greatly developed, especially the Germans, who have theoretically raised tank warfare to the height of armored group operations. Not only have they created various new tanks and formed powerful armored troops, but they have also been
He sharpened his knife and prepared for actual testing.
The Japanese have a relatively short history of developing tanks.
It is also sad to say that this little Japan is the most developed country in Asia and one of the world's great powers, but its economic level is still much lower than that of the powerful countries in Europe and the United States. In 1937, the United States, Britain, Germany, France,
Japan's industrial production accounts for 38%, 10%, 11%, 5%, and 4% of the world respectively, and Japan ranks the last. Moreover, its heavy industry foundation is relatively weak and its proportion in the industrial structure is relatively small. In 1936,
At that time, it was only 49.6%, less than half. Not to mention this, the most serious thing is the scarcity of mineral resources and the heavy reliance on imports, resulting in steel output being only one-tenth of that in the United States, which cannot meet its military industry and machine manufacturing industry.
The demand for Japanese people, especially the little Japanese, have been planning to build a huge navy that can compete with the United States. The construction of ships alone has made Japanese steel production severely tight.
In addition to heavy industry, steel production is not as good as that of European and American powers, another factor affecting the development of tanks is the automobile manufacturing industry. Tanks are sporty steel. If steel is to be equipped with wheels, it must rely closely on the entire technical team and personnel of the automobile industry. At this time,
, European and American countries have generally used cars as vehicles. In 1930, the United States reached the level of one car for every five people, and now it produces millions of vehicles per year. In contrast, Japan's automobile industry still relies mainly on
Foreign-funded enterprises, automobiles and engines mainly rely on imports. The national automobile manufacturing industry is developing slowly, with the annual output of less than 50,000 vehicles.
There is another factor that influenced the Japanese to develop tanks, that is, their combat opponents were too weak. Although the Japanese army was confused by the debate over advancing north and going south, their goal of invading China was established. However, China's economic power was not good.
The military equipment is even worse. In the eyes of the decision-making level of the Japanese army, the existing power of the Japanese army can destroy China within three months without wasting precious steel and gasoline develops a large number of advanced tanks.
Therefore, Japan did not start to try to build tanks on its own until 1926. Previously, it mainly purchased "mk-iv" and "mk-a" tanks from Britain and bought "Renault-f17" light tanks from France. In February 1927, the Army
The vehicle squad of the Technology Headquarters imitated the No. 1 combat vehicle designed by Renault tank. It was finally developed successfully with the cooperation of the Osaka Arsenal and some civil society. It weighed 12 tons and had a speed of 25 kilometers per hour. The No. 1 combat vehicle was shifted under Mount Fuji.
The inspection of climbing hills, crossing trenches and fireworks basically met the design requirements. In April 1929, the Osaka Arsenal developed the second chariot, weighing 9.8 tons, a 57mm cannon and a 6.5mm machine gun.
Armor 5 to 17 mm, maximum speed 26 kilometers per hour, maximum travel 120 kilometers. The vehicle performed well in the long-distance trial from Tokyo to Aomori. When it was put into production, it increased its weight to 11.5 tons at the request of the military and was named Type 89.
Tanks. The other two main battle tanks, namely the Type 95 light combat tank and the Type 97 medium combat tank, were made in 1935 and 1937 respectively. During this period, Japan also developed some other auxiliary combat tanks and armored vehicles. Tanks
95% of manufacturing enterprises are private, while the remaining 5% are military camps, with a low overall production capacity.
The Japanese army's usual scale for the tank level is lighter than 10 tons, medium to 10 to 20 tons, and heavy to more than 20 tons. However, according to European and American standards, all of them are light tanks below 20 tons. Therefore, the Japanese army's main battle tanks
In fact, they are all light. The main technical weaknesses in its comprehensive comparison with European and American tanks are: small gun diameter, weak armor, low tonnage, slow speed, short stroke, etc. This directly leads to firepower, protection and continuous in actual combat.
In addition, there are also significant gaps in suspension devices, power generation and transmission devices, hydraulic and pneumatic devices, machine parts fastness, radio communications, optical equipment, etc.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army's tank production increased significantly, reaching the annual output of 700 vehicles. This output is far from meeting the needs of war. In fact, in the mid-1930s, some people had already made predictions about the dilemma of Japanese tank production during wartime:
Japan's "tank vehicles cannot exceed 500 in the first half of the year of the war, and cannot exceed 1,300 in the next year. The army's existing and stored tank vehicles also reach 1,200. However, the number of tank vehicles required for the first half of the year in the early stage of the war is
It is 3,300 vehicles, so, during this period, it must import 1,600 vehicles from abroad. In the next half of the year, the number of tanks required is 2,700. Therefore, what Japan needs to import is 1,400 vehicles."
Due to these reasons, the Japanese tanks are not only small in number and poor in quality, but also have backward tactical ideas, and are still at the level of dispersed and used to cover infantry operations. This is far from the armor tactics taught by Liu Yimin at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University.
So far, the Japanese army has not even a chariot division. The only three mechanized divisions have a huge gap compared with the mechanized units of the German, American, British and Soviet troops.
At this time, the Battle of Nomenkan had not yet occurred. Due to the limited scale of the battle between Zhanggufeng and the terrain, apart from experiencing the power of the Soviet aircraft, the Japanese devils had never seen the true armor power of the Soviet army, and they did not understand what armor was.
The group attacks, from the Army's non-commissioned officers' school to the Army University, never taught this tactics. From officers to soldiers, the Japanese army was still arrogant and always thought that the Japanese army was unparalleled in the world.
All this led to the captain of the 213th Japanese Army's corps being frightened when he saw that the Eighth Route Army actually formed an armored group to launch an pursuit with tanks, armored vehicles and cars.
This guy is not stupid. He knows that his more than a thousand defeated soldiers can't run away from these steel monsters, and he will die if he runs away, and if he doesn't run away, he will die if he doesn't. He simply ordered the troops to stop retreating and block them on the spot.
It is not wrong to say that the order given by the corps captain is not wrong. The Japanese soldiers are brave enough. After receiving the order, they immediately began to scatter and lie down, preparing to form a scattered line, set up machine guns, grenade launchers, and infantry cannons. Unfortunately, all this is all
It was useless. What was chasing them was the Eighth Route Army and even the most elite brigade and brigade in China. They were chasing tanks, armored vehicles and cars. The machine guns on the cars, the Bayi automatic rifles, and the submachine guns were shot continuously.
The spring water seems to completely wash away their group of insects that pollute the earth, without giving them any chance to resist.
The motor was roaring and the machine gun was yelling happily. At this moment, the Japanese's life seemed not life, but dead leaves in the cold wind in late autumn and early winter, floating in the wind, and drifting towards the East.
Wang Dahu doesn't care whether the ghost of the Japanese can float back to the East. At this moment, there are only two words in his mind, which is "assault". Break through the enemy's blockade, cut off the enemy, crush the enemy, continue to pursue deeper, and chase until the tank.
The body of Shigetaro Kamaha was finally considered to be the end. Therefore, he ignored the Japanese's appearance of being shot into a sieve by a machine gun, and even more so the Japanese's ugly appearance of crawling on the ground to avoid bullets, and just used a car-mounted radio station.
Order the troops to advance over and over again.
After teaching a group of people, the Japanese were already full of corpses.
When the Second Regiment of the Cultivator came up, the remaining Japanese were completely crazy. They had no time to set up heavy machine guns, infantry cannons, and grenade launchers. Originally, these heavy weapons were almost lost when they retreated from Kaiyuan to Qingchi and were bombed and fired by Eighth Route Army fighter jets.
Now, we have encountered the Eighth Route Army armored group again. The soldiers who wanted to set up heavy weapons fell under the car-mounted machine guns.
The crazy Japanese no longer crawled on the ground to avoid the firepower of the Eighth Route Army and began to attack meat bombs. Some brave Japanese Japanese made tactical moves and moved around, trying to throw grenades on tanks, armored vehicles, and cars. There were ten more
Several Japanese soldiers were holding explosive bags and screaming, ignoring the bullets of the Eighth Route Army, and wanting to die with their chariots. Of course, this is just their wishful thinking. This is the plain, which is most suitable for armored troops to mobilize and teach the Second Regiment.
After installing tanks, armored vehicles, and cars, since the annihilation of the 21st Division, it has always been the main assault force of the instructor. He has seen more formations, so it is not surprising to the Japanese's actions. He has eliminated the trouble after a strafing fire.
.
A group of Japanese devils may feel that they cannot go to the ground, so they simply took up the shaky bayonet and launched an attack on the armor formation of the Second Cultival Regiment. Zhao Dahe, the leader of the Second Cultival Regiment, laughed without any hesitation.
He rushed up with the convoy and turned them into ghosts under the wheel.
In the end, the Japanese's will to resist was completely destroyed. The dozens of Japanese left kneeled on their legs and raised their hands to surrender.
This cannot be blamed on these Japanese devils for being out of their own way. The battle has developed into this form and has completely lost the meaning of resistance. The Japanese devils 213 were originally marched for a long distance to Weicheng to receive visits. When they saw the walls of Weicheng, they said that when they saw the walls of Weicheng, they said that
The earth-shaking sound of cannons came, and they were so scared that they were in shock. Then they received the order that Weicheng might fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army and quickly retreat to Qingchi to join the 214th Regiment. As soon as they opened their way, they were bombarded by the Eighth Route Army fighter jets.
Fortunately, there are many villages along the road, so I luckily survived the 1,500 or 600 people. I finally rolled and crawled to Qingchi, and met with the Akita Brigade, who was left behind by the 214th Regiment, and began to retreat quickly.
, and was caught up by the Eighth Route Army armored troops. This is the big plain, and the Japanese were caught up on the road again. Although they dispersed in formation at the first time, there was not even a foxhole and there was no way to hide.
There is no way to hide it. Under the firepower of the powerful armored troops such as the First and Second Regiments, how can they stand firm and stabilize their formation? Not to mention that the armored troops are catching up, the cavalry are catching up and waiting
Theirs also have one word: "death"! Two words: "die quickly"! Is it unreasonable for the Japanese to surrender?
When Cheng Cuilin took a car to operate the second regiment, he saw that the Japanese did not complete the assembly of troops and were in a scattered retreat. He knew that the Japanese were indeed bombed by Feng Dafei and the others, and there was no need for more troops to participate in the pursuit.
, One of them teaches the First Regiment, the Second Regiment, and the Brigade Cavalry Battalion are enough. Thinking about the short time that the Japanese planes might arrive at the battlefield, the Gaoyuan decisively ordered the Third Regiment, the New Regiment and the Division's direct troops
Stop chasing, go to a hidden rest on the spot, organize fellow villagers to simmer and prevent Japanese air raids.
Gao Yuan even wanted to inform Hu Laohu that his cavalry brigade would stop chasing and go into seclusion and rest, but when he raised his telescope, he saw that his left and right wings rolled up smoke and dust from the sky. Needless to say, it was the cavalry brigade that was quickly detouring.
Just looking at the power of the Chentou, you can tell that the cavalry soldiers were riding horses and galloping at extremely fast speeds, so I feel embarrassed not to let Hu Laohu and the others participate in the war.
Lieutenant General Kamaha Shigetaro ordered the 213th Regiment and the 214th Regiment to completely lighten the 213th Regiment and retreat to Hancun, he quickly urged the soldiers to build fortifications and prepare to hold on.
Shigetaro Kama has now had a certain understanding of the strength of the Eighth Route Army teachers. He knew that it was a good general Tsouchi Teraunuchi's analysis. The instructor said it was a division, but in fact the military strength was very large. Otherwise, they would not have taken the imperial army as soon as they took action.
The two divisions started the operation. Especially this unit was well-equipped and had novel tactics. Not to mention anything else, just the tactics of the captive commander Too Takagizang, I had never heard of the teacher or taught them to the students.
.Is this a demonstration of the old Chinese saying "take the head of the general among millions of troops"? That's not all, they actually have such a powerful aviation force, and one concentrated bombing, they destroyed their thirty-three
Division. Now, their tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and cavalry have caught up with the broken 213th Regiment and the 214th Regiment. I wonder if these two regiments can get rid of them!
Although I knew that the 213th Regiment and the 214th Regiment were caught up by the Eighth Route Army tanks, armored vehicles, cars and cavalrymen, I was worried that they could get rid of the Eighth Route Army's pursuit, but Kazuha Shigetaro was old and his thoughts were aging.
At that time, the German armoured blitzkrieg had not yet occurred. There was no concept of armored assault in Kama Shigetaro's mind. In his opinion, as long as the Eighth Route Army's fighter jets did not come to bomb, the 213th and 214th Route Army left some troops to block the Eighth Route Army's
The main force can still withdraw the pursuit troops. As long as they withdraw, they can bomb the Eighth Route Army's pursuit troops as soon as the fighter planes of the Imperial Army Air Force arrive, and they may still organize a retreat eastward.
Shigetaro Kama did not have any extra troops to reinforce the 213th and 214th Regiments, and could only send a message to Asazaburo Kobayashi over and over again, urging the Chief of Staff to order the air force to take off quickly. It would be too late to do so.
The Imperial Army's fighter jets had not arrived yet, but the pursuing Eighth Route Army arrived.
After receiving the report that the Eighth Route Army caught up, Shigetaro Kama hurriedly got onto the roof of a house and raised his telescope to observe. This observation almost scared him off the roof. He saw the highway in Weicheng, Pingdu
On the top, dust was flying and thick smoke was rolling. Under the smoke, a row of monsters covered with sorghum stalks and dead tree leaves were rushing towards Han Village. Needless to say, the 213th Regiment and the 214th Regiment were already formed by this monster team.
Swallowed cleanly!
Looking around, Amaterasu, two fast-moving smoke pillars appeared on both sides of the north and south. Below the smoke pillars were fast-moving Eighth Route Army cavalry. Strangely, those cavalrymen held torches in broad daylight, but there were no torches.
On the flames, I saw wisps of smoke emitted from the torch floating into the air, gathering and drifting in the air, forming one after another, one by one, reunited, and continuous circles of smoke.
Kama Shigetaro was not stupid, and he immediately thought that the Eighth Route Army deliberately created smoke to hide its body and interfere with the sight of the Imperial Army's aviation force.
With a "clang", Kama Shigetaro's telescope fell from his hand and fell to the ground in the yard!
