Glorious Mission 1937

The Chariot Division suffered unprecedented heavy losses in the first battle. Although the auxiliary arms were hardly hit hard, the main arms of the Tank Division were almost destroyed. This made the North China Front Army executives angry and shocked at the same time. How could the Chinese army be so powerful.In China two years ago, not to mention chariots, there were not even many mortars. The most equipped equipment of the Northwest Army was not guns but large knives.

In less than three years, the Chinese not only had a large-scale artillery force, but also a large-scale chariot force. Not to mention the entire thousand-odd chariots in the central Jizhong region, the Chinese in Changping had this Nearly [-] chariots were dispatched for the first time, how could this not shock the high-level Japanese army.

Compared with the strength of the Chinese armored forces, the performance of the new tanks displayed in the eighth war zone is the most shocking. According to the report of the troops withdrawn from the third tank division, the Chinese used three types of tanks in this war. Chariots, one is a Type 3 light tank produced by the Empire, the other is a Type [-] medium tank, and there is also an extremely advanced heavy tank.

According to the commanders of the chariot troops who participated in the battle, the performance of the new heavy chariots of the Chinese people is extremely superior, far surpassing any chariot of the empire in terms of armor thickness and artillery power.Take the most advanced Type 37 medium tank in the empire as an example. The [-]mm tank gun it is equipped with can only stop the new tank of the Chinese people for a while, not to mention destroying the new tank of the Chinese. Even wounding is an extravagant hope.

As a result, this situation often occurs on the battlefield. The imperial chariot hit the Chinese chariot head-on, before the chariot soldiers cheered.The Chinese chariot broke through the fire and hit it, and then completely destroyed the imperial chariot with a single shot.The only thing that comforts the top leaders of the North China Front Army is that although they suffered a lot in this battle, the Chinese people were not unharmed. The more than 360 chariots dispatched by China also lost nearly [-] vehicles. It can't be regarded as a loss of face, but it can be regarded as a loss to both sides. After all, Yizhina's current industrial level can't produce high-tech things such as tanks, so their tanks are lost and one tank is missing, but the front army can be replenished quickly. .

The power of the new Chinese chariot brought great shock to the top of the Japanese army.But what the Japanese are most concerned about is where these superior chariots come from?The US or the USSR.If it is the United States, it is okay to say, if it comes from the red Soviet Union in the north, the consequences will be serious. The bt5 and bt7 fast tanks used by the Soviets in the Battle of Nomenkan made the Japanese army complain, but these two tanks are not invincible of.

According to post-war dismantling of captured Soviet tanks.Japanese military researchers came to a conclusion.Compared with the Soviet Union's bt5 and 7 tanks.The Empire's Type 3 tanks and Type 1 tanks are obviously behind, and the loss ratio between the two is about [-]:[-]. That is to say, the loss of three old tanks in Japan can only be exchanged for the loss of one tank of the Soviet Red Army.

But it would be different if the empire dispatched Type 5 chariots.The two tanks of the Soviet Union can only be regarded as light tanks, but the Empire's Type 7 tank is a medium tank. Except for the slightly inferior armor thickness, the other two are not at the same level at all. Type tanks can easily kill the Soviet Union's bt[-] and bt[-] in seconds.

However, if the new tanks dispatched by the Eighth War Zone of China come from the Soviet Union, then the empire has been far behind the Soviets in terms of tanks. With the strong industrial production capacity of the Soviet Union, it will take less than three or two years Tens of thousands of new tanks can be produced.At that time, even if the empire can develop a new type of tank with the same combat power, the industrial production capacity of the empire will not be able to quickly install this new type of tank into the army in a short period of time. This is a huge hidden danger for the empire. I have to guard against it!

It's a pity that despite many inquiries, we still couldn't get any useful information, but we can be sure that there must be an extremely large force behind the Eighth War Zone of China, otherwise it would be impossible for that hateful Chinaman to be in such a short period of time. It has grown so powerful over time.And suddenly there are so many new weapons, especially the new fighter planes and new tanks, these are powerful forces that make the empire salivate.

Although the Third Division of the Japanese Tank Division was severely damaged, the battle situation in Changping is still not very clear. As the last line of defense in Beiping, the Japanese army in Changping received a death order from the North China Front Army Command and defended Changping at all costs. , people have to stay in the city when they are gone.So tens of thousands of Japanese troops knew they couldn't beat them, but no one retreated.

Since the Japanese army was so stubborn, there was no need for Chen Feng to pity them, poor people must have something to hate.Ever since, the Third Army Aviation Brigade was dispatched frequently, large and small fighters took turns to fight, and the Japanese army was fighting endlessly.

Although there was no breakthrough in Changping, the battle in Shimen has made new progress. Although the No. 30 Second Division of the Japanese Army is also good in combat effectiveness, it is a newly formed unit after all. There are too many recruits in it, and the fighting will and The combat power is not up to standard at all.And those who fought with them were the elite of the Eighth Theater, and they far surpassed the Japanese army in terms of strength.

In addition, on the night of the 15th, the special forces of the eighth war zone quietly occupied Jingxing Pass, and at the same time controlled the Jingxing coal mining area. Shimen suddenly became an isolated city in the middle. Jump out of the encirclement while Chen Feng's troops have not yet completed the encirclement of Shimen, otherwise the best outcome for No. 30 Second Division is to surrender to Chen Feng's troops.

After the capture of Shimen, Chen Feng's commander drove straight in and quickly took control of the Zhengtai Railway. The army was quickly transferred to the Shanxi Plateau through the railway, and completed the encirclement of the First Army stationed in Shanxi within a short period of time.

Although the Eighth War Zone has not yet besieged the First Army in the encirclement, if there is no reinforcements, the outcome of the First Army may be difficult to change.You must know that there are more than 50 Chinese troops surrounding the First Army, but the First Army has less than [-] remnants. This gap is too great.

In desperation, Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio, the commander of the First Army, had no choice but to send a report to General Binshan Yuan for help. In the words of Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio, if there is no strong support in a short period of time, the First Army is likely to fall. Was completely defeated, even wiped out.

Shinozuka Yoshio's telegram was highly valued by General Bin Shanyuan, who hurriedly sent a report to the General Command of the China Expeditionary Army and the base camp for help, and at the same time ordered the intelligence department to speed up the progress of the "secret plan" implementation.

After receiving the telegram from General Bin Shanyuan, the headquarters and base camp of the Japanese Army China Expeditionary Force were taken aback. They all knew that the situation in North China was very difficult, but they did not expect that it had become so corrupt.Needless to say, the Chinese Expeditionary Army Command immediately ordered the 6th, 101st, and 27th divisions to go northward by boat to fight, and at the same time urgently sent more than 300 combat planes northward to reinforce the North China Front Army.

The base camp is also very powerful, and quickly sent a reply telegram to Bin Shanyuan, and told him that the fleet has entered the Chinese waters and can land in Tianjin in a maximum of two days. The base camp asked the Japanese army in North China to persist for two days. .

The faster and more chaotic, the easier it is to show one's feet.Just when Chen Feng was about to order his troops to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Yangquan, Hua Rong sent an urgent telegram saying that the intelligence agency seized 6 Japanese spy teams in Xinghe and Yanggao, and seized 6 mysterious weapons from them. Medicine, researched by Hu Jishi and others, is a highly contagious virus, which is very destructive once released.

After interrogation, the intelligence department learned that the Japanese army had sent 12 teams to sneak into Sebei Province this time, and each team carried a drug containing the mysterious virus.The final target of the Japanese army is 4 places, one is Xinghe, the other is Guisui, and the last two are Baotou and Wuhai. major industrial cities.Of course, Xinghe is an exception, but Xinghe is a small county where Chen Feng's hometown is located. The Daqingshan base is still the most mysterious secret base in the eighth war zone.

Knowing that the Japanese army sent so many teams to infiltrate Saibei Province, Chen Feng was furious and ordered the troops stationed in various places to immediately cooperate with the intelligence agencies to intercept this batch of virus progenitors. At the same time, he ordered the troops on the front line to speed up the attack.

On the 16th, two more espionage teams were arrested, and at the same time, two more virus pathogens were seized.On the same day, the Eighth War Zone broke through the defense line of the Japanese and puppet troops on the outskirts of Yangquan. Tens of thousands of troops approached the Shanxi plateau. The only breakthrough channel of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi was completely blocked. The Japanese army with less than 2 people was surrounded in Taiyuan. In the seven or eight surrounding counties and cities, the primary level is in danger.

Now the happiest thing is Yan Laoxi. Chen Feng has promised him that the goal of the eighth war zone is to encircle and wipe out the first Japanese army, not Taiyuan City. So as long as the first army stationed in Shanxi is wiped out, Taiyuan City will still be his old Yan. To be honest, he, Chen, will not station a single soldier in the city.

Yan Laoxi still trusts this son-in-law's promise. Last time he said to return Taiyuan City to him, he would return it to him, and he would never procrastinate. It must be the same this time.

Also very happy is Jiang Guangtou from Chongqing. The old Jiang who was forced to do nothing by Wang Jingwei and others some time ago has finally recovered.Now anyone can see that the little devil in North China has become a grasshopper after autumn, and he will not be able to jump for a few days. All the results of hard work were vomited out, and even if the battle was successful, a few divisions would be lost, which was really traumatic. (To be continued..)
