, Commander, when I was interviewing the troops during the siege, I found several large pits that were penetrated by artillery shells and filled with corpses! The area of the pits is very large. I thought there might be a problem, so I came to report to you!"
Second Lieutenant Liang Li, a special field reporter from Liberation Daily, led two soldiers into a temporary headquarters made of special micolor panels and found Sun Desheng, commander of the Eighth Army, who was directing operations in front of a walkie-talkie.
Sun Desheng was listening to the progress on the front line. He frowned when he heard this and said without looking back: "There is nothing surprising. In the past two years, there have been natural and man-made disasters in India. Not to mention anything else, the great plague the year before last year alone killed tens of millions of people."
When someone dies, isn’t it normal to find several large pits filled with corpses?” “No!”
Second Lieutenant Liang Li is 21 years old this year. She graduated from the Journalism Department of Southwest University of Political Science and Law. She has been working as a war reporter for two years this year. She took the initiative to explain: "Commander, think about it, if someone died in the plague, the body would
They will inevitably be burned or buried with quicklime, so as to avoid secondary infection! However, several pits discovered this time have not been disinfected, and most of the corpses inside have not yet decomposed, and they are all indigenous people.
, there are even many women holding children in their arms!”
Sun Desheng was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he turned around and looked at Liang Li, who looked serious: "So, Reporter Liang, what do you think this means?" "Massacre!"
Liang Li answered without hesitation: "Before the battle started in the afternoon, I visited the Second Mountain Group led by Lieutenant General Zhang Hao. Like us, they were almost empty in every room along the way as they marched westward.
Originally, I thought that the indigenous people might have been coerced by the Japanese army and retreated here, but judging from the situation during the siege today, no Japanese or Indian soldiers or indigenous armed forces were found.
I suspect that they may have been killed by the Japanese army!" Sun Desheng immediately thought of the intelligence feedback from the front line and nodded: "This speculation is very valuable, but the current priority is to eliminate the stubborn enemies in the city as soon as possible. Reporter Liang
, now is not the time to discover the truth, we must completely control Rangpur City so that we can have enough time to study what happened here!"
"Commander, I request the group army to apply to the General Political Department to send a special film crew
The team came to East India and faithfully recorded everything that happened here! I think our discoveries can help us quickly win the hearts and minds of the people in the subcontinent and resolve the hostility of the indigenous people! At the same time, the discovery of the crimes of the Japanese army can make us stand on the "Tao"
We should use our moral high point to fight back those who try to throw dirty water on us!
"Just imagine, the British, who have owned India for more than two hundred years, are unable to protect the people on this land, and the Indians' own choice is to cooperate with the devil. This shows that they have no ability to distinguish right from wrong! Taking into account all circumstances, we are the only one
Only then can we stabilize the situation in Antarctica and guide the people towards civilization and enlightenment!"
Sun Desheng was very surprised and said: "Okay, I will report to the headquarters right now. The information you provided, Reporter Liang, is very important. However, after the report, I found that I still have to focus on the frontline war in order to coordinate the ministries in time. I hope this
You can take the initiative to take responsibility for something.”
"this"
Liang Li hesitated: "I am a young second lieutenant and I am worried..."
"What are you afraid of? You discovered this matter in the first place. If it is really valuable, I will ask my superiors to take credit for you!" At this point, Sun Desheng glanced around, then waved and shouted: "Controller Zhang
, come here. You can transfer a company from the security force to follow reporter Liang and obey everything.
Do you understand her command?" Major Zhang Defa, the major staff officer of the Group Army Operations Department, was discussing the battle situation with several staff officers in front of the map. Hearing the sound, he strode to Sun Desheng, stood at attention and saluted, and then heard that he needed to obey the order of a second lieutenant, and the other party
When I was a female soldier, my face suddenly turned into a bitter melon face.
As night falls, the battle in Rangpur City also enters its white phase.
On the street filled with war, a Cat 44 tank roared out of the street and approached the ground floor of a two-story building. The long barrel was drilled through the shooting hole.
The tank shrugged, and the small building that had previously shot out violent flames was torn apart in the violent explosion. The whole building exploded like a matchbox made of paper. The explosive ammunition immediately blew the building into a pile of smoke.
Smoky ruins.
No one noticed that a dark muzzle protruded from the collapsed ruins of a six-story building more than 200 meters ahead. An 88mm caliber anti-aircraft gun hidden here by the Japanese army fired continuously.
Amidst the huge roaring sound, two nine-kilogram shells, at lightning speed, quickly hit the turret of the Leopard II tank that was retreating after completing its mission, breaking through the surface armor of the turret and drilling into the interior of the turret.
"Boom" came two huge explosions in succession, a thick black smoke came out of the tank, and flames suddenly jumped out from the gaps and explosions in the tank turret.
Under such a large-scale explosion, the space is so tight, no one in the Leopard II tank can escape, because in an instant, the rapidly rising high temperature and pressure, and the violent shrapnel wreaked havoc, and the heroic tank soldiers of the Anjia Army inside the vehicle have already
Lost all consciousness in an instant.
"Bang bang"
Several more shelling sounds were heard, and another moving Leopard II tank was hit by a bullet.
This time, the shells did not directly hit the turret, but hit the thick front armor plate. Although the continuous explosions made the tank smoke, the tank crew inside did not suffer much damage. They quickly opened the
Hatch cover, escape from the already hot and unbearable inside of the tank.
Unfortunately, "click-click" sounds were heard one after another, and the Japanese Army's Type 89 heavy machine gun and Type 92 anti-aircraft machine gun fired a dense rain of bullets. Several soldiers following the tank attack and the tank soldiers who had just escaped from the tank instantly fell into a pool of blood.
middle.
This blocking position of the Japanese army was designed extremely cunningly. The 88mm caliber anti-aircraft gun that poses the greatest threat to Tandong is hidden in the surrounding bunker reinforced with reinforced concrete. Sandbags are also piled at the gun holes, and it is protected by the collapsed building and retaining wall in front.
, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In order to prevent the anti-aircraft guns from being captured by our infantry, the Japanese deployed two Type 92 anti-aircraft machine guns, a Type 98 20mm machine gun and eight Type 89 water-cooled heavy machine guns for tight cover.
Around this building complex, the Japanese army deployed a large number of mobile troops in order to carry out counterattacks at any time. On the streets in front and in the surrounding open space, countless mines and various concealed firepower points were arranged. In addition, there were steps and stone arches in the rear.
Such obstacles can prevent tanks from outflanking.
The Japanese army's air defense force has always been stronger than the army's.
For example, the Type 98 20mm anti-aircraft cannon equipped by the Japanese army is based on the Swiss Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft cannon. Its performance is very good. In terms of air defense capabilities, it is far better than the Type 96 25nm anti-aircraft cannon equipped by the Navy
forced
However, because this gun was independently manufactured by the Army, and the Navy has always looked down on the Army, before the war, the Navy refused to equip this anti-aircraft cannon. As a result, the short-range air defense capability of the Navy ships was extremely low and they were unable to effectively compete with the low-altitude bombing of dive bombers.
situation.
This is also a very important reason why the Japanese navy was powerless in the face of dive bombing by Anjiajun ab26 bombers at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War.
After Kanji Ishihara and Osamu Nagano ascended to high positions in the Army and Navy respectively, they immediately strengthened their cooperation. Now the Navy is not only equipped with 20mm anti-aircraft nose guns with excellent performance, but also obtained Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns from captured US Navy ships.
The technology and air defense capabilities have made great progress.
Of course, defense is always passive. If ship air defense was really that powerful, the U.S. Navy would not suffer defeats again and again.
Back to the main story, the building occupied by the Japanese army was the former site of the British HSBC Bank Building. The building was extremely sturdy. Although it was bombarded by large-caliber heavy artillery, it did not completely collapse. The Japanese army used this remaining three-story building to
As a support point for its firepower, a fortification like a copper wall and an iron wall was built.
Major General Chi Shangyi, commander of the 22nd Motorized Infantry Division, had already advanced the division headquarters to a building 400 meters away from the bank building. Seeing that the attack was blocked, his eyes were red and cracked, and he immediately instructed the special brigade to send out
Strike teams and eliminate enemy threats.
Two strike groups composed of officers and soldiers from the special brigade rushed toward the bank building guarded by the Japanese troops from two wings. The snipers in the first group, acting as cover, shot and killed the Japanese machine gunners at several concealed fire points and used recoilless weapons.
Cannons were used to blast and blast obstacles.
While the recoilless rifles showed their power, the III-type rocket launchers also showed unparalleled power. As the "broom stars" with flaming tails came one after another, the Japanese army's firepower continued to fly into the sky.
The Japanese army was stunned by this fierce and piecemeal tactics. The blocking positions deployed around the bank building, under the strong attack capabilities of the special forces, were like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, melting away one by one, and being eaten bit by bit.
When the Japanese commander reacted and directed the mobile forces to counterattack, he was suppressed by the powerful firepower of dozens of combat groups that followed the officers and soldiers of the special brigade. The firepower composed of automatic rifles, general-purpose machine guns, and mortars was not at all
Flesh and blood can stop.
Especially the general-purpose machine gun, which is worthy of being an infantry killer. Amidst the sound of firing like tearing oilcloth, the scarlet tongues of flames, like sickles, swept the Japanese soldiers to the ground one by one.
The grenadier soldiers that the Japanese army is proud of cannot exert their due power at all. Not to mention the range advantage of mortars. Even if these grenadier soldiers were lucky enough to escape the mortar attack, a large number of sniper attacks
The hand has already locked them, and as long as someone shows up, at least two or more bullets will be shot into their heads at the same time, which will not have the desired effect at all.
Under the strong firepower of the Anjia Army, the Japanese grenade soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The average Japanese soldier was not familiar with the grenade, a weapon that requires extremely high quality of individual soldiers. After all the grenade soldiers were killed,
The hope of regaining the position through counterattack is even slimmer.
At this time, the twenty-four 88mm anti-aircraft guns of the anti-aircraft artillery brigade directly under the group army were towed to the front line by tanks. They adopted German technology and innovative 88mm anti-aircraft guns, with a horizontal range of up to 16,500 meters.
meters, its direct-fire artillery shells are no different from the Japanese firepower.
While the Japanese army was desperately resisting the nearby Anjia Army infantry attack, the 88mm anti-aircraft cannons were already unleashing their might. The dense shells quickly tore apart the protective wall outside the bank building. The Japanese army's firepower was immediately exposed to the direct attack of the anti-aircraft cannons.
The officers and soldiers of the Anjiajun anti-aircraft artillery were not lenient. Several metal collisions were heard in succession. The shells accurately drilled into the firing holes of the Japanese anti-aircraft guns, and violent explosions were heard one after another.
Infantry and artillery coordination is the specialty of the Anjia Army. Seeing the Japanese artillery misfiring, the mortars immediately fired more than a dozen smoke bombs at the bank building guarded by the Japanese. Then the special forces on both wings took advantage of the enemy's blocked sight to approach.
After entering the bank building, the demolitioners blew a large hole in the outside of the building, and then the special forces got in.
Now, it's like Sun Wukong got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan, and the devil can't help but run rampant.
The automatic rifles, submachine guns and shell guns equipped by special officers and soldiers cooperated with each other to eliminate the Japanese house by house, and the enemy's firepower gradually fell silent.
