The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

To be honest, Terauchi Shouichi did not expect that his order this time would be executed so decisively and quickly, which was very different from the usual Japanese military officers' self-willed and self-righteous style.He was a little dazed when he was asked so angrily by MacArthur and Alexander.

Celebrities contacted various divisions and found that all those who did not want to pull out had all withdrawn. Even the part that confronted the Marine Corps of the South China Sea Fleet did not even dare to stay in Vietnam. They went straight to Cambodia and withdrew. There is no meaning to stay.

Yamashita Fufumi is a bit of a man of integrity. Although the surrounding area is full of gunpowder smoke and raging fire, he still sticks to the headquarters and sends some engineers to help put out the fire. In vain.

But even so, he also retreated the three semi-disabled divisions by a large margin, and let the Guards division go forward to meet them, and try to support the Lang Son defense line as much as possible. As for the rear, that's out of the question.But if you want to come, a large number of mines have been laid at the Honghe port all the way to the bay, and they can't get in for a while.

The troops that originally attacked Jinghong from northern Thailand decisively stopped advancing, and even withdrew most of their troops from Jingdong, a strategic location, leaving only some symbolic warnings, so don't even think about trying to stop them.

What Terauchi Shouichi didn't think of the most were Hiroshi Takeuchi and Shojiro Iida, the commander of the 15th Army. Before that, they had vowed to "invade China, avenge their shame, and never withdraw their troops until they occupied Yunnan".Even at this time, these two guys are still dreaming of making great contributions, turning up to be promoted to generals, and entering the upper echelons of the empire... Nima, the Great Japanese Empire is coming to an end, don't forget to fight for power and profit!

Unexpectedly, even they withdrew.This thing went smoothly and unexpectedly!

Terauchi Shouichi didn't feel ashamed in the slightest, and even felt a tinge of heartfelt relief for the rapid actions of various people--after so many years, the imperial generals were finally able to control the mid-level and lower-level officers and troops like wild horses. What an achievement!

As for cheating Yingmi's ghosts and animals, it was his intention in the first place!Let me show you without making any problems.Damn ghosts and beasts will not really pay attention to the existence and value of the warriors of the empire, and then engage in those unreliable actions to deceive people!

In fact, Shouichi Terauchi also overlooked how great the blow that Japan's Lu Chen brought to the people of the entire country.

Unlike Hideki Tojo and his gang who stayed in the mainland and continued to go crazy, these generals and soldiers who came out to fight were actually already desperate in their hearts.

The education they have received since they were young is to promote that Japan is "at stake" and extremely insecure, so they have to recklessly occupy North Korea.Attack China and seize the stable mainland.The resulting cultural tendency of collective self-destruction has become deeply rooted and accumulated more and more.

As a result, when the earthquake broke out, the first reaction in the minds of most of the old guys was: "The Yamato nation is exhausted."

Yes, they, who think they have inherited Chinese culture, especially believe in this.Without the blessing of ancestors and Amaterasu, the emperor of the eternal line is about to be cut off.Without their local presence, they become rootless duckweeds, never mind how the foreign devils fool them.In their hearts, these people no longer had the desire to expand wildly.

In the past, ordinary soldiers still missed their hometown after being out for a long time, but now their hometown is gone, and young people are discouraged in various ways.Although the older officers were still fierce and brave in battle, they were just howling in the form of bereaved dogs.

In their bones, it is still the ferocious and violent nature of the Japanese, which drives them to fight with the mentality of "I have to pull back when I die".And not some hopeful bloody sacrifice....

Therefore, the world has changed over time, and many things are no longer based on the will of a certain person.Terauchi Shouyi made such a move by accident, and unintentionally fulfilled the danger that the front troops could not attack for a long time, their spirit was frustrated, and they might collapse at any time. It was very suitable to withdraw and recuperate.

As for the matter of killing Yingmi ghosts and animals and losing ground, that is not within the scope of consideration.

The deep-rooted Japanese national character of "everyone cleans the door for himself", "does not cause trouble to others", and automatically and consciously obeys the call of the superior and does not easily question it is too paranoid, and they even imagine the crisis brought about by this. not out!

Terauchi Toshiichi prevaricated for Alexander with ambiguous words, and his tone was full of the meaning of "I don't know the situation very well, and I need to investigate before I can draw a conclusion", which made the lungs of an English gentleman explode!

Throwing down the phone violently, Mr. Lord, who tore off the gentleman's disguise, pulled out his cane sword, swiped and hacked wildly, and roared: "I want to fight him! Damn Japanese devils, it is unforgivable! How could there be such a thing in the world?" You bastard nation, you shouldn't have indulged them in the first place..."

His subordinates rushed forward and grabbed the rapier, holding down the boss.It's not that he's really going to fight the old devil, but he's afraid that he'll hurt himself!You're quite old, what's wrong with you, make a piece of broken iron and dance around, how can you beat the Japanese bandit leader who spent the winter with bare legs since he was a child?It's better to think of a way quickly, how to plug the big hole in front of you!

Japanese dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, so Alexander had no choice but to find MacArthur to discuss urgently what to do.Old Mike creaked his corncob pipe and sighed with his brows broken: "We can only let our troops go up first! In any case, we can't let the Chinese come over. Once we cross the most critical line of defense, we will completely attack you." Passive!"

Go up?Alexander felt bitter in his mouth.This means that those precious British soldiers under his command will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties, but today's British Empire can't afford it!

Tens of thousands of people cannot afford it. This is the status quo facing the UK.Alexander remembered that before departure, Churchill repeatedly told him to ensure that all the boys went home in full.He has laid down the guarantee ticket, can it be done?It's hard to say, bullets don't have eyes on the battlefield, it's safest to stay behind, but now...

The two old guys frantically tried to find a way to go.On the other hand, after Zhu Bin received reports from various parties by accident, he also felt quite strange.Keep up with the investigation.Things got weirder and weirder.

"What is this for? Playing to lure the enemy into deep? It doesn't look like it! If you really want to make that move, the coalition forces should deploy a large number of ambushes in the main mountains and dense forests. Wait for a part of the past before attacking inside and outside. Righteousness. I didn't say that I would be naked in one run!"

Bai Chongxi was completely puzzled, he had never seen such a battle in his life.

It makes sense to say that those in front of Vietnam suffered heavy casualties and had no reinforcements, so they had to retreat strategically to avoid their edge.So what about the front of Yunnan?The two sides fought fiercely for more than half a month, but the real casualties were far from the point where the muscles were injured, and they ran faster than this side. What kind of conspiracy are they up to?

But Zhu Bin laughed disapprovingly: "Whoever they are, we just need to advance steadily according to the established strategy! In any case, I don't advocate letting the troops fall into the tropical jungle to play hide-and-seek with them. Hold the line of defense. Leave the rest to the navy and air force!"

Tropical jungle warfare, in his opinion, is the least interesting.No mass regiments were deployed.There is no barrage of guns, no torrent of steel sweeping across, just small-scale conflicts, you come and go without even a big movement, how boring!

If it hadn't been for the provocation by the coalition forces of the great powers, Zhu Bin would not have even allowed the third theater to launch an attack.Don't look at 10 people, which seem to be a lot. They are stuffed into the Indochina Peninsula in batches, and there won't be much movement!Devils are not stupid.Under the disadvantage, they will not easily engage in a positive formation.

"However. The strategic points still have to be stood down. Since they let them out, then we don't have to be polite! Myitkyina, Lashio, Jingdong, these three forward bases must be in our hands, and then go forward. Just look at it Depends."

At least in front of Myanmar, with these three bridgeheads, taking Mandalay will become a matter of three fingers pinching snails.I believe that with a strong armed force, it won't be too much trouble to get rid of the enemy in front of you.

Zhu Bin has carefully calculated, only that level of depth.It is completely possible to ensure the smooth supply and supply from the country. It is better to burn the flames of war to the enemy's area than tossing at your own door, isn't it?

So how to clean up the coalition forces next?Bai Chongxi didn't need to think about it, he knew it must be the strategic force that Zhu Bin had mobilized!Those bastards just turned northern Vietnam into a sea of ​​flames, but this year, due to the earthquake and volcanic eruption in Japan, the climate was abnormal. The rain that should have rained did not fall at all, and God was his accomplice. ah!

During the dry season in Vietnam, it is not really rainless, but it still accounts for about [-]% of the annual precipitation.But this year is special, I guess the eyes of the coalition army are blue?

If you are not greedy for merit, and you are not interested in taking advantage of the fire, the war will develop rapidly in a direction that the coalition forces cannot guess at all.

In northern Myanmar, the three members of the Central Army faction who had finally seized the opportunity to go crazy attacked three ways, and defeated a small number of enemies on the same day, occupying and node by node.

The troops on the right, Liao Yaoxiang's troops crushed a regiment of the British army, then rushed forward lightly, and went ten kilometers in the evening to start a field battle with half a brigade of enemy troops from Myitkyina!

After all, the British army occupied the home ground, and built a large number of fortifications on the edge of the Mailikai River early on, which also meant to defend against the Japanese' rebellion. Many gun fortresses were originally facing traffic passes...

In addition, the brigade is also equipped with a battalion of tanks. However, the Matilda 40 tank with only a 2mm main gun is not even as powerful as the "Wild Badger" infantry fighting vehicle that uses special armor-piercing projectiles. So the two opponents whose weights were completely disproportionately collided with each other in such a gorgeous way!

The sky was dark. According to the warning from the headquarters, the British army, who was almost defending, realized that what they were about to welcome might not be just a small group of Chinese assault troops, but more people would definitely come from behind. I can go up there with my life!

The Matilda 2 tanks were gathered and divided into two groups, each set up on the flank of the position. When the first "Wild Badger" infantry tank appeared in front of them spewing shells and bullets, they thought there were cheap British guys He rushed out rashly!

The British have never seen how awesome Chinese tanks are.The Japanese and the Americans did share some information, but there were too few real objects. The arrogant Brits didn’t take it seriously. Especially when they saw the thin body of the “Wild Badger” which was less than 10 tons, they felt that they were big men who ate beef and bullied them. Isn't it the same as pinching the little daughter-in-law to death?Rush upwards aggressively.

But the John Bulls didn't notice that the maximum speed of their tanks was only a pitiful 25 kilometers per hour, and they couldn't fire while moving, and they couldn't aim at the black lights.If you rush up directly, you may be able to pick up some cheap ones with a weight of 27 tons.

No matter how bad the "Wild Badger" infantry tank is, it is also a fast guy that can easily reach 60 kilometers!The chassis and track system are specially developed for the more terrain in the southern mountains and rivers, and there is no pressure to run rampant on the gradually flattening battlefield!In terms of eyesight and reaction speed, it is at least several times higher than that of the British!

Here, Matilda 2 rushed out of the woods with a billowing black smoke, and the "wild badger" who opened the way really turned around quickly like a wild cat.The muzzle aimed at the tank that was jolting forward and bumped forward, and fired an armor-piercing projectile without hesitation!

"Shit! The Chinaman actually fired first!"

The British commander's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed the muzzle flash, but he was experienced, and then he thought: "It's just a small-caliber artillery. I heard that it is a replica of the German Pak35\36 37mm gun. The largest Armor-piercing ability, it is said that it can’t penetrate Matilda’s frontal armor. Our shell. But it has more than 75mm armor, and his armor-piercing ability is at most 50... "

The thought was not as fast as the cannonball, and even the flash of thought in his mind didn't end, and the cannonball "boomed" right in the front of the tank!

To be honest, the most commendable thing about Matilda is that it has thick skin and thick flesh. Since the first generation, it has been equipped with armor of more than 60mm, which was considered brutal and domineering in the world at that time.The main attack weapon is more miserable, but at least it can be resisted, right?

The British devils also thought so in their hearts.Anyway, it's not the damn 75mm gun of the Chinese tank...but unexpectedly, it just appeared so gorgeously!

The cannonball that should have been bounced directly, or did no good work, unexpectedly tore open the front armor fiercely without knowing what happened, and drilled a slender black alloy armor-piercing head in.After removing the unlucky commander's arm on the spot, he penetrated into the rear and leaked something.

The high-temperature fragments produced by the collision of the armored steel plates sputtered wantonly faster than the bullets discharged from the chamber, and opened several holes in the thigh of the other gunner, and the blood was rushing.The guy in pain screamed incessantly!

The front of Matilda 2 burst into flames, but with two engines, she still had good power, and she continued to move forward firmly and tenaciously!

Didn't kill it?

The "Wild Badger" on the opposite side was obviously stunned for a moment, hesitated for more than ten seconds, and confirmed that the appearance of the opponent coming out of the smoke was basically intact. Knowing that he had encountered a hard stubble, he increased his horsepower and moved to the side in a serpentine manner without hesitation. After turning wildly, relying on the speed advantage, he immediately jumped out of the route pointed by the opponent's turret.

Just a few seconds later, regardless of whether the injured "Matilda" 2 was aiming or not, it blasted over with a blast, smashing a big tree about ten meters away from the "Wild Badger".

The "wild badger" here knew that there was a problem, and calmly shouted to the back with the radio, turned around and ran away without saying a word, and didn't rush to fight.The British guy just breathed a sigh of relief, a large geep stumbled out of the nearby woods, with four exposed anti-tank rockets on the roof, aiming at them "chi chi" is two rounds.

The Briton screamed in despair, "It's not fair!"

Oversized anti-tank rockets!Even the kind of guy who can easily kill tanks in single-handed resistance, he actually hits a wounded man with two shots at once. As for such a ruthless attack?

Before the sound of the screams fell, the interval between the two rockets was less than half a second, and they hit the tank's turret and track armor respectively. Two clouds of smoke rose up, and the heavy Matilda 2 trembled and was hit hard After piercing through two holes, the jet of high-temperature metal sprayed in mercilessly turned the half-dead people inside into cooked corpses, then detonated the fuel and ammunition, blasted the turret with a bang, and burned into a big torch!

That's right!This is Zhu Bin's light and heavy matching weapon for the local army!Even if it is an infantry tank, even if it is a group of geep vehicles, they will all have the strength to fight against the armored forces of the enemy.Those who are not prepared will definitely suffer a big loss!

This short confrontation, like a textbook, pointed out the combat strategy. Behind, groups of geep vehicles carrying anti-tank rockets swarmed along with the infantry vehicles, and those carrying recoilless guns were at 600 meters away. Outside, the firepower was fully fired, and piles of shells were smashed into the British defense line in a row, forcibly isolating them from the tank group, and the smoke and dust covered the battlefield!

The British infantry brigade lacked one regiment, and the tanks of that battalion were scattered and thrown into the battlefield, which was messed up by a group of lightly armed enemy troops. After crushing the first battle line, they circled in front of them like a gust of wind, almost touching the defensive firepower of the British army.

The next moment, the attack planes followed up, unceremoniously blasting the ground with crazy rockets towards the trench, and the remaining tanks had just driven out of the woods, and when they encountered such a group of killing stars head-on, it was too late to complain, and they were killed one by one. The whole body is on fire!

Half an hour later, the first "Bayonet" tank arrived in a row, with complete firepower and armor, and doubled its attack power!A passing battalion of motorized infantry set up the large-caliber 120 mortars on the vehicle and blasted them all the way to the river from the front. It's dark, and the fighter jets won't do much at all!

Instead, the supporting light bombers of Liao Yaoxiang's division rushed over, especially an "air tank". Taking advantage of its night vision, it used 40mm guns and 6-barreled machine guns to carry out the sweep in an orderly manner! (To be continued..)
