Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Chapter 581 The Japs gave me a tank!

After a violent explosion, the Japanese headquarters was shrouded in smoke and dust.

The entire Fifth Army Command's Japanese troops were destroyed in the fierce explosion, leaving no corpses behind. Only the Japanese soldiers on guard at the periphery were left, who were shocked by the shock wave and vomited blood.

"Ahem! Baka, didn't the Ping'an County Security Corps say they were here to accept surrender? That's not a moral code!"

At this time, the Japanese soldier vomited blood, looked at the original command center which had now turned into a big pit, and cursed the Ping'an County Security Corps.

At this time, after the Red Alert Force completed the bombing, the H-6 bomber left directly after completing the mission, and the remaining surviving Japanese troops would be taken over by the Red Alert Force Air Force's aerial gunboats.

"We have discovered the remnants of the Japanese army. We estimate their number to be no more than 100. They have no heavy equipment. Start shooting!"

"understand!"

After discovering the remaining ground targets of the Japanese army, the Red Alert's aerial gunboats launched fierce shooting. The two or three cats and dogs left in the Japanese command were also killed or injured by the aerial gunboats' ground-to-ground attack weapons.

After all, there are 30mm Gatling guns on the aerial gunboats now, so attacking a few Japanese ground troops is a piece of cake.

After completely destroying the Fifth Army's headquarters, the next task of the Red Alert Force was to transport the Japanese prisoners back to the North China region.

It is obvious that the number of Japanese prisoners of war captured by the Red Alert this time is much greater than those in Jiangsu area.

The surrender of the Fifth Army, which was once the ace field army of the Japanese army, was enough to keep the Transportation Bureau of the Red Alert Force busy.

But for the Chinese army, Yamashita Tomoyuki's trick made a fortune for the reputation of the Red Alert Force and the Eighth Route Army.

The news that the entire army-level unit surrendered would be a devastating blow to the morale of the Japanese army!

But after careful consideration, Zhang Shijie and the Eighth Route Army did not pass on the news immediately. Now Ningci Gangcun in South China was organizing troops to launch a diversionary attack on the Red Alert forces in Zhejiang.

Since the secret line between them was cut off and all roads leading to South China were blocked by the Red Alert, Ningji Okamura had no idea what the current situation in East China was.

Not to mention Ningji Okamura, even Yoshio Shinozuka, who had just escaped from East China, did not know the current battlefield situation in East China.

At this time in South China, Ningji Okamura and Yoshio Shinozuka were organizing troops to launch a diversionary attack on the Ping'an County Security Corps in order to reduce the combat pressure on Japanese troops in East China.

But the Japanese at this time had no idea that the entire East China had been completely controlled by the Ping'an County Security Corps, and the only prisoners left here were the Japanese!

"This time, we will use all our heavy armored forces for our attack. First, we want to test the combat reliability of these equipment. Second, we want to test whether the Tiger tanks we purchased from Sandezi can penetrate the tanks of the Ping'an County Security Corps!"

After hearing the news, the Japanese Army's 1st Independent Armored Division, which was originally conducting training, immediately stopped training, and all members began to advance towards the area actually controlled by the Red Alert Force.

The Japanese soldiers were still in high spirits when they first set out, but before the armored units even reached the train station, the Japanese armored soldiers began to repair the tanks' traveling devices with worried faces.

In order to support the heavy body of the Tiger tank, Sandezi made a very clever design for the Tiger tank's traveling device, staggering the drive wheels on the left and right sides in multiple rows.

Although this design could support the 50-ton body of the Tiger tank, its structure was extremely complex and it was not something the Japanese could master in a short time.

It took two days for the Japanese in South China to finally transport these tanks and a Sturmtiger to a troop transport station near the front line.

Fortunately, the Japanese tanks took a long time to transport, so before the attack was launched, the Japanese had already transported all their weapons, ammunition and other logistical supplies to their destination.

For this combat operation, the commander of the South China Front Army, General Okamura Neiji, did not personally command the front line. In addition to the 1st Tank Division equipped with Tiger tanks and Sturmtigers, two independent mixed divisions and a heavy artillery brigade were responsible for the attack.

After all, for the Japanese army, this action was theoretically a diversionary action, as there were still the Fifth Army and the Fifteenth Army in the encirclement!
Even if the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops surrounded in Zhejiang were all pigs, it would be impossible for the Ping'an County Security Corps to capture and kill them all in such a short time.

Moreover, Yoshio Shinozuka and Neiji Okamura both trusted Yamashita Tomoyuki's command ability.

However, neither of them considered how big a blow Yoshio Shinozuka's escape would be to the East China Front Army. Even if the Japanese under them thought of it, they did not dare to say much.

So the Japanese troops began to advance in a mighty manner towards the border between Zhejiang and Fujian.

But while advancing, the Japanese encountered big trouble again!

As a heavy tank, it is more suitable for fighting on plains. If it is not a plain but a desert, it will be fine. After all, the main battlefields of Sandzi's Tiger tanks in history were the plains of East Europe and the desert of North Africa.

The terrain in these two places is relatively flat, or the infrastructure is relatively complete, but even in this case, the Tiger tanks still make the German workers responsible for maintenance complain bitterly.

What were the Japanese armored forces facing?
It is the Jiangnan water network in southern China!

And as a traditional agricultural country, China basically has no infrastructure to speak of.

One can imagine how difficult it was for the Japanese tanks to march under such circumstances.

So in this situation, the Japanese Tiger tanks and Sturmtiger self-propelled artillery began to be driven and repaired along the way.

Even the maintenance instructor sent by Sandezi for training didn't know how to solve the repair problems after seeing the current road conditions and the tank's failure.

After a day's march, Ningji Okamura finally received a report from the front-line troops that all of his 30 Tiger tanks and one Sturmtiger were stranded halfway, and none of them had reached the designated location!

This is so embarrassing!
So Ningji Okamura quickly asked the 1st Tank Division: "What happened to your heavy armored units? Why haven't they reached the designated combat position in a day?!"

"Commander, our new tanks are too heavy, and the road conditions here are simply not able to support the mobile combat operations of the new tanks. All the tanks broke down halfway, and even the technical consultants from Sandezi can't do anything!"

"Bakayalu! I'll give you one more day. All the tanks must reach the front line to participate in the battle! Otherwise, you will have to commit seppuku to thank the heavens!"

"But Commander, we..."

"du~du~du~"

After hearing the busy tone on the phone, the commander of the Japanese Army's 1st Tank Division could only sigh heavily, and then ordered all the mobile forces of the entire division to rescue their new tanks.

"I hope we can all join the battle tomorrow." At this time, around the Japanese nurse tanks, several Japanese Type 4 tanks were desperately trying to drag the Tiger tanks that had already broken down. Although the dragging force was sufficient, the Japanese found that the load-bearing wheels of these Tiger tanks that were pulled out by force would be more or less severely damaged.

In this situation, even if the Japanese pulled their tanks out, they would have to repair them again, and after the repairs, the tanks would sink again not long after.

As a result, the tortured Japanese army could only lay steel plates and other pads in advance on the tanks' advance route so that they could pass quickly.

However, even so, when encountering slopes and other terrains, the Japanese tanks would still be unable to move.

At the same time, the 6th Combined Battalion, which was already waiting at the border between Zhejiang and Fujian, was still wondering why the Japanese had not arrived yet.

According to the report issued by the Intelligence Department, the Japanese army had completed all pre-battle preparations a day ago. The original plan of the Japanese army was to launch an attack on the Red Alert Force today. The 6th Combined Battalion has now completed all pre-battle preparations. If the Japanese have not arrived yet, the Red Alert Force's preparations will be in vain.

"Ask the Intelligence Department where the Japanese attacking troops are now. My troops can't wait any longer. If they don't come, we will take the initiative to attack!"

At this time, Zhang Yuge was speaking to the battalion staff officer beside him in his battalion command post.

"Battalion Commander, the telegram has been sent. I think there is something wrong with the Japs' Tiger tanks!"

"I know for sure that there might be something wrong with the Tiger tank, but we don't have an attack order right now. I'm saying this so that the commander can issue the attack order."

20 minutes after the telegram from the th Combined Battalion was sent to the Intelligence Department, Zhang Yuge finally received a telegram from Zhang Ning.

"The Japanese troops in front of you have not yet completed combat readiness due to their heavy tanks due to terrain reasons. The commander of the Japanese South China Front Army, Ningji Okamura, has ordered his troops to complete combat readiness tomorrow.

We now order your unit, together with the 5th Combined Combat Battalion and the 1st Marine Combat Battalion as the main offensive force, and the 2nd Aviation Battalion and the Air Force as support, to launch an attack on the Japanese army and advance the controlled area to the line of Shaowu, Nanping, Gutian and Ningde.

The main goal of the Japanese army is to defeat them and end the battle quickly! "

After receiving the order, the Red Alert Force's 5th Combined Battalion, 6th Combined Battalion and 1st Marine Battalion immediately changed from positional defense to mobile offensive status, and began to attack the Japanese army at the same time.

Behind the Sixth Combined Battalion, a former Japanese military airport has been occupied by the Red Alert Force, and after emergency construction by the engineering corps, it has become the operational base of the Second Aviation Battalion of the Red Alert Force.

After receiving Zhang Ning's combat order, the Second Aviation Battalion, which was always ready for action, immediately took off all the helicopters, and then deployed them in formation, launching a fierce attack on the Japanese troops in South China.

At this time, the Japanese army did not know that the Red Alert Force had switched from a defensive state to an offensive state. After all, in the eyes of the Japanese, the Ping'an County Security Corps was still encircling and suppressing the Japanese troops in East China. Where did so many troops come from to launch an attack on them?

While the Japanese army was preparing combat supplies and waiting for the arrival of heavy armored forces in the rear, a Japanese soldier suddenly saw a flash of light coming from the sky.

In the Japanese army's battle sequence, the unit that had the most contact with the Red Alert was the North China Front Army, followed by the East China Front Army, the Central China Expeditionary Army, and then the Mongolian Army and the Kwantung Army.

Due to the geographical location, the Japanese troops in South China have never had any large-scale clashes with the Red Alert forces, and even some minor frictions have occurred in recent times.

So when the Japanese saw these tracks passing through the sky, they did not realize that they were artillery attacks from the Red Alert forces.

"Hekou-san, look up at the sky!"

"Nani?"

After seeing the track in the sky, the other Japanese soldier's hair stood up subconsciously.

Although he didn't know what this thing was, he had been in the army for three years. When he discovered the abnormal situation, the first thing he thought of was that the Ping'an County Security Corps had launched an attack on them.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Hearing this sudden sound, the surrounding Japanese troops immediately became alert, but the Red Alert’s rockets also fell to the ground at this time.

"Boom boom boom boom boom."

After the rockets landed, intensive explosions sounded in the Japanese camp. The Japanese soldiers were almost defenseless and were covered by the Red Alert's rocket launchers.

This was the fire preparation that Zhang Ning ordered the rocket artillery battalion of the heavy artillery cluster to carry out before the war. Although there was only one round of fire preparation, under the guidance of the reconnaissance aircraft, this round of fire strikes basically covered all Japanese military outposts.

While the Japanese were struggling in the explosion, the Red Alert's offensive forces had already reached the vicinity of the Japanese strongholds.

The dozen or so Tiger tanks that the Japanese had transported with great effort over a day and a night were either destroyed in the previous artillery attack or captured after the Red Alert troops entered the position.

"Moshi Moshi?! Moshi Moshi?!"

"Is this the South China Command? What's going on?!"

"The Ping'an County Security Corps is... Boom! Launching an attack! Requesting support. Tut-tu-tu~ Tut-tu-tu~"

"How many people did the Ping'an County Security Corps dispatch? What is the current situation of casualties among the troops?"

"We. Zi~"

Hearing the sound of gunfire from the front line at this time, the entire South China Front Army Command became nervous in an instant.

The Ping'an County Security Corps took the initiative to attack. This was different from their script!

What about the Tiger tanks they had transported with so much effort? !
Thinking of this, Ningji Okamura immediately grabbed the phone and said to the other end: "Moshi Moshi?! I'm Ningji Okamura, can you hear me? Moshi Moshi?!"

After Ningji Okamura asked, there was no voice of Japanese soldiers coming from the other side, but a loud voice in both Chinese and Japanese.

"Surf the gun and don't kill!"

"撃つがkillさないでください!" (End of this chapter)
