Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Outside Jinan city.

After arriving outside the city of Jinan, the armored group of the Red Alert Force began to split into two groups.

One tank battalion, one armored infantry battalion, one self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery battalion and two self-propelled artillery battalions stayed outside the city of Jinan to prepare for battle, while the rest of the troops bypassed Jinan and continued to attack eastward.

The Japanese in Jinan city alone could not possibly slow down the Red Alert's offensive. The armored cluster could only have a chance to surround more Japanese troops if it penetrated and encircled them as quickly as possible.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, the Ping'an County Security Corps has surrounded us!"

"Baga, I can see it, you don't need to remind me!"

"Hai!"

Looking at the large number of tanks and armored vehicles surrounding the city of Jinan, the commander of the Japanese troops stationed in Jinan, Lieutenant General Eriya Hatayama, commander of the 27th Mixed Division, frowned.

According to the evaluation of the Japanese military's tactical department, the offensive tactics of the Ping'an County Security Corps were very crude and lacked any command art.

Usually they would first use troops to surround the entire city, and then use their firepower advantage to encircle and suppress the enemy from the outside to the inside. Although some very simple tactics such as making a feint to the east and attacking in the west would appear in the middle, there was still no technical content.

However, facing the unskilled attacks of the Ping'an County Security Corps, the Japanese have not been able to restrain them until now.

After all, the simplest tactics are also a reflection of strength.

From the beginning to the end, the Red Alert used its absolute strength to attack the Japanese troops in the urban area. Even when they were divided into the main attack force and the feint attack force, even the feint attack force could make the Japanese devils urinate blood.

The so-called tactics of the Japanese devils are just basic attacks in the eyes of the Red Alert.

Red Alert: What tactics? We need tactics to fight you?!

Who will be eliminated? !
So, under the horrified gaze of the Japanese, the two self-propelled artillery battalions of the Red Alert Force completed their deployment.

The Japanese artillery division was still building its positions.

Little devil:
Is the difference so big?
"Attention, entire battalion! Anti-aircraft shells, 0.03 second delay fuse, 5 rounds rapid fire, fire!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom."

After being deployed, the Red Alert troops immediately launched a direct attack on the city wall of Jinan, which was the main line of defense of the Japanese army.

Although Jinan City is definitely one of the most important cities in Shandong Province and the thickness of its city walls is unmatched by that of ordinary cities, it was directly blown to pieces by the Red Alert Force's 152mm heavy howitzers using delayed fuses.

In the use of artillery shells, 152mm delayed-action shells are used to attack some heavily armored target fortifications and some underground targets.

Fortifications like city walls are a perfect match for time-delay fuses.

After five rounds of rapid fire, the two self-propelled artillery battalions of the Red Alert Force razed all the city walls of Jinan to the ground.

"Report to the division commander, the city wall has collapsed!"

"What?! Which part collapsed?! Quickly send the mobile forces over to build a position to block the gap!"

When the commander of the 27th Mixed Division, Hatayama Eri, heard that the city wall had collapsed, his subconscious reaction was to organize troops to provide reinforcements and absolutely prevent the troops of the Ping'an County Security Corps from breaking in.

Normally, during street fighting, the weapons gap between the two sides can be reduced to the greatest extent, but the Ping'an County Security Corps is completely beyond this common sense.

During the street fighting, the Ping'an County Security Corps not only had mature tactics and special street fighting weapons, but also had a large military dog ​​that could quickly eliminate the Japanese combat troops.

Therefore, Hatayama Eri also considered trying his best to stop the Heian County Security Corps outside the city.

However, after hearing what Hatayama Eri said, the messenger beside him suddenly didn't know how to report the current situation.

Seeing the messenger hesitating, Hatayama Eri shouted angrily, "Which part of the wall collapsed? Tell me now!"

"Your Excellency, the entire wall of Jinan City has been blown down!"

"Nani?!!"

When Hatayama Eri heard this, she felt very unbelievable.

The entire city wall of Jinan collapsed? !
The city defense battle turned into a field battle? !
"Quickly order the troops to prepare for battle, including the troops of the two logistics divisions, all of them must be ready for battle!"

"Hai, General!"

At the same time, the Red Alert's aerial gunboat fleet also flew from the Dagushan Air Zone to the sky over the Japanese evacuating troops.

Because the scale of the Japanese army's "transfer" this time was so large, in order to destroy the Japs' manpower as much as possible, Zhang Ning directly dispatched all the Red Alert's aerial gunboats.

After arriving at the designated area, the Red Alert's aerial gunboat formation was also dispatched according to the area designated by the command to attack the Japanese troops on the ground.

Although the Red Alert has a large number of gunboats, the area they cover is still too small compared to the vast land of Shandong.

However, according to the original idea of ​​the Red Alert Force, the deployment of aerial gunboats, in addition to destroying the Japanese army's manpower, the most important thing is to slow down the Japanese army's retreat as much as possible.

This will give the subsequent pursuit troops time.

"Division Commander, we have escaped the most taboo area of ​​the Ping'an County Security Corps!"

At this time in the Qufu area, the 311th Division of the Japanese Tenth Army was advancing rapidly southward along the current road.

This place is quite far away from Shandong. If the Ping'an County Security Corps wants to prevent pursuit, it is impossible to catch up by just marching on land.

Listening to the words of the chief of staff beside him, the commander of the 311th Division, Naoya Shimazaki, also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as an old subordinate of Yoshio Shinozuka, Yoshio Shinozuka has told Shimazaki Naoya more than once that the Heian County Security Corps must not be underestimated under any circumstances.

So even though they can now say that they have escaped the pursuit range of the Heian County Security Corps, Shimazaki Naoya still does not dare to let the troops rest.

If you want to rest, there is no time left in East China!

But at this moment, the Red Alert Air Force's aerial gunboat found them based on satellite images provided by the Intelligence Department.

Just because the army’s ground forces can’t catch up doesn’t mean the air force can’t catch up!

Although it is impossible for the air force to completely wipe out a full-strength division of the Japanese, it is still possible to inflict heavy losses under the attack of the aerial gunboats.
"100 guns, ready to fire!"

"boom!"

As the gunboats began to fire at the Japanese troops on the ground, the Japanese finally realized that they had been targeted by the air force of the Ping'an County Security Corps. Since the 311th Division was on the march at this time, the air defense wing directly under the division had no chance to deploy under such circumstances.

Now, under the air strikes of the Red Alert forces, the Japanese can only arrange for the evacuation of their troops as quickly as possible.

"Where the hell is the Ping'an County Security Group's plane?!"

At this time, the Japanese soldiers of the 311th Division were all thinking about this issue.

Because the Japanese troops on the ground were in a very dense formation at the beginning of the bombing, the Red Alert's aerial gunboats did not lower their altitude. Instead, they used 100 guns to launch artillery attacks on the Japanese troops on the ground.

Because of the clouds, the Japanese did not notice the gunboats in the sky.

After all, the Red Alert forces are also worried that the Japanese air defense forces will counterattack them, and no one knows what the situation of the Japanese ground forces is now.

In this case, it is impossible for the gunboat to fly at a lower altitude.

311 kilometers away from the 70th Division, a Japanese heavy artillery brigade was also attacked by aerial gunboats.

Compared with infantry units, artillery units are much less flexible. However, precisely because of this, the Japanese artillery units are surrounded by the Japanese mobile air defense units for protection.

However, these air defense equipment are basically based on trucks as chassis, equipped with multiple 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns, or single and double-barreled 25mm anti-aircraft guns for light anti-aircraft firepower.

But in the eyes of the Red Alert Force, these Japanese anti-aircraft firepower are threats.

According to normal combat procedures, the Red Alert forces would definitely kill the Japanese air defense forces first.

"boom!"

"Baga, the Ping'an County Security Corps is launching an airstrike. Comrades, move the artillery unit as quickly as possible!"

"Hai!"

At this time, inside the Japanese artillery brigade, after hearing the explosion, they consciously evacuated to the surrounding areas without even notifying the air defense forces.

A total of four aerial gunboats carried out air strikes on the artillery brigade above its sky.

The Japanese air defense forces simply could not withstand the firepower of these four aerial gunboats.

After finding out the caliber of the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower, the Red Alert's gunboats also began to lower their altitude, using 37mm rapid-fire guns to carry out high-density bombing on the Japanese.

Normally speaking, the number of 88mm caliber anti-aircraft guns in the Japanese air defense force is relatively not small, and facing the air force units with generally higher ceilings of the Red Alert forces, the 88mm anti-aircraft guns are the truly threatening air defense weapons.

Why didn’t the Japanese use the 88mm cannon to fight back?

At this time, all the Red Alert pilots in the sky over Shandong were thinking about this question: Where the hell did the Japanese 88 guns go?!

At this time, there was a well-equipped troop among the Japanese army, which was escorting a batch of supplies loaded with unknown things and was rapidly advancing towards East China through a small mountain path.

"General Yamamoto, the convoy has now arrived in East China. Should we send a telegram to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka?"

"Don't send a telegram. The Ping'an County Security Corps is much more skilled in radio technology than us. If we send a telegram now, the weapons we have worked so hard to transport will soon be destroyed by the Ping'an County Security Corps' air force!"

After saying this, Yamamoto Ikki, who had been promoted to major general by Shinozuka Yoshio, frowned as he looked at the trucks passing by.

These vehicles carried all the 88mm artillery of the North China Front Army.

At the beginning, almost all of the Japanese Army's 88 guns were imported from Sandezi. It was not until 42 that Japan began to barely produce this large-caliber anti-aircraft gun.

However, due to natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that occurred in the country some time ago, the number of Japan's domestically produced 88 guns has further decreased.

On the whole, in the Japanese army's equipment system, the most expensive equipment was not their 150mm caliber heavy artillery, nor their Type 88 tank, but the Japanese army's mm artillery.

In order to preserve strength as much as possible, Yoshio Shinozuka ordered Ikki Yamamoto to transport all the 88 guns to the East China region first.

Yamamoto Ikki was very clear that Yoshio Shinozuka's behavior was tantamount to completely abandoning the North China region.

At this time, Yamamoto Ikki looked to the north and felt that he and the North China Front Army shared the same sorrow.

Originally, the purpose of establishing his Yamamoto Special Forces was to explore special operations for the Japanese army. However, due to repeated defeats in confrontations with the Ping'an County Security Corps, Yoshio Shinozuka no longer considered Yamamoto Ikki's special forces plan.

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't think that Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team was completely useless, but the combat effectiveness of the special forces of the Red Alert Force was so strong!
After all, Yoshio Shinozuka managed to survive the decapitation operation of the Red Alert force, and he knew very well what tactics the Ping'an County Security Corps used.

And Yoshio Shinozuka himself admires Yamamoto Ikki.

But at the moment they can't see any hope of Yamamoto Ikki catching up with the Heian County Security Corps.

So after Yoshio Shinozuka reported the information about Yamamoto Ikki and his troops to Iwane Matsui, Iwane Matsui clearly awarded him the rank of major general.

Matsui Iwane also knew the actual effect of this decapitation operation.

However, in Matsui Iwane's order, Yamamoto Ikki did not reorganize the force, but instead ordered Yamamoto Ikki to build a guard force that could deal with decapitation operations.

Although the old devil Yamamoto was very dissatisfied with this, the current situation left him no choice.

Now, cooperating with Yoshio Shinozuka to transport the 88 guns from North China to East China is the first task for him and his new troops.

This batch of artillery must be delivered!
Not only is the price high, but also because this type of artillery was tested by the Japanese army and is the only equipment that can effectively damage the tanks of the Ping'an County Security Corps. (62 Light Tank)

Moreover, the high air-to-air range of this type of artillery can also pose a threat to the air force of the Ping'an County Security Corps.

This kind of equipment must be shipped in large quantities to the East China region!

Others may not know, but as Shinozuka Yoshio's trusted and beloved general, Yamamoto Kazuki naturally knows that their Tianhuang is now in Shanghai!

The aerial gunboats that were conducting ground attack in East China, after confirming that the Japanese retreating troops had almost no 88mm guns at this time, also began to lower their altitude and launched more intensive fire attacks on the Japanese on the ground.

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army troops near Linyi, relying on their strong mass base, discovered the Japanese troops and began to block them.

After learning of the current situation, the Red Alert Naval Base in Rizhao ordered two Marine Corps battalions to begin interspersed operations in the entire Shandong area.

For a time, the land of Qi and Lu was filled with smoke of gunpowder.

In the comprehensive encirclement and suppression by the Red Alert Force, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Shandong felt that the sky was dark. (End of this chapter)
