The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Naturally, Luo Zhendong doesn't know that there is something called "Wang Shifaner" in this world, as long as you start fighting, it doesn't matter whether there is a person or a division in front of you, as long as it blocks the way and poses a threat to the main attacking force, you will attack first. Don't hesitate to discuss it again!

Most of the previous battles took place in mountainous areas, and they had been interlaced with the Central Teaching Corps and local troops, so it was fine if they couldn't use it. Today, they finally arrived at the vast Songliao Plain. To shoulder the important task of deterring the Japanese army, how can we do it without black hands!

The explosive fire column suddenly rising from the lurking artillery position in the pine forest on the left wing shocked the Japanese army who was rushing into the second trench fortification!The flickering light that boiled like a volcanic crater shone for several miles, making those guys who planned to smear the Yin people who came up here feel confused and frightened for a while!

After fighting for so long, the Kwantung Army has finally learned how to behave. The first line of defense deploys as few soldiers and heavy weapons as possible. Even if there are artillery holes and permanent fortifications, they are not lucky. Opened in the rocks, the reinforced concrete fortresses were built, and even the ultra-thick bulletproof nests made of one-foot-thick logs stacked five layers, could not withstand the various blows of the attacking legion. It's not big!

This time is no exception!The number of people on the first line of defense has been reduced as much as possible, and the fortifications have been built strong enough, but I still didn't expect that the opponent would use such cruel and domineering things as cloud bombs to attack!

In a panic, the Japanese defense forces bent their waists and threw off their bowlegged legs, arched forward desperately from the traffic trench, rushed into the end of the first line of defense, and placed anti-tank guns on the river bank to stand ready!

Spring has just started in the Northeast, and there is still snowfall. The permafrost layer on the surface is still hard, but the bottom has been softened and hollowed out by the heat.People used to be fine, but a tank weighing dozens of tons may collapse into a big mud pit when pressed on it.Frankly speaking, it is actually not the best season for offense, or the best opportunity for the severe winter has been missed. The Japanese army also thinks that this is extremely conducive to defense.

A large number of deep anti-tank trenches were excavated by the Japanese army on both sides of the Xiliao River.It was filled with water and was frozen most of the time. In order to save materials, the Japanese army did not lay barbed wire at all, but just piled up a large amount of soil in front of the trench to form a high ridge. One can be directly used as a bunker, and two If you can let the enemy tanks drive up, you must expose your weak abdomen, and if you hit it with a direct-pointing artillery at that moment.Even 37mm cannons can make a difference!

This skill is also learned from the Chinese, and the tuition price paid is quite expensive!As for the chariot troops, which were originally expected to be high, they have basically stopped now.If they are sent up, they can't beat other people's tanks and anti-tank guns at all, and there are attack planes in the sky at any time, so they will die as many as they come.In a few months, after losing more than two thousand vehicles on the front.The Kwantung Army wept with distress, and simply refused to come up to die.With the number of infantry, deadly carry!

Heavy construction vehicles like prehistoric monsters rumbled in, and surrounded by "Hammer" tanks, they majesticly opened up passages. When they approached the four or five-meter-high anti-slope fortifications, the Japanese army bombarded them repeatedly from the opposite side without any effect. , and was immediately destroyed by retaliatory artillery fire as soon as it emerged.Immediately be honest.

When Tulingzi was flattened from the root, the tanks with composite armor immediately came up to make up for it, and the cover engineering vehicle continued to expand the opening, and the crossfire of four artillery pieces formed by two vehicles continued to bombard obliquely, suppressing the Japanese army in the front. .

The heavy artillery deployed by the Japanese army opened fire immediately!They know that their quantity and quality cannot keep up with each other.Simply adopt the tactics of defensive counterattack, wait for the large trenches in front to block the way, and then use groups of heavy artillery for targeted bombardment, so as to cause relatively good damage.

It has to be said that in terms of range, the artillery of the Japanese army has certain advantages. There are several types that can hit 18 kilometers. Hit to 150 kilometers!

Although the cost of these artillery pieces was high and the output was low, the poor Japanese army was reluctant to do more, but the losses in the previous battle were too heavy, and when they met the Zhu family army who admired the firepower of cannons, they had no choice but to sell more iron. It took a long time to make up a bunch Children, scattered and deployed among the dense forests.

I am also worried that I will be discovered as before. Now almost one gun occupies several positions, and there are even ammunition carts next to it. Using sufficient preparation time, multiple gun positions are built in the dense forest with a distance of more than 500 meters. , no more than [-] rounds of ammunition are stored in each location, and they are basically dragged away after shooting. There is no plan to delay at all.

Under the shining flares, the shadowy heavy engineering vehicles were particularly conspicuous. Overjoyed, the Japanese observation post immediately reported the visual coordinate data to the rear artillery, and the accuracy of the shells fired was greatly increased!Although they were all launched more than ten kilometers away, they probably didn't deviate more than 100 meters --- it's because they have a thorough understanding of this war zone!

The frozen river has become a natural barrier, tanks can't drive through, and infantry can't rush to the beach to seek death. As long as it stops, shells will fall. This is perfect!

The sharp whistle of cannonballs pierced the air, and Luo Zhendong frowned immediately. Although he had expected such a thing, he was still upset.

The night reconnaissance plane circling in the sky immediately reported: "Japanese artillery position found! Japanese artillery position found! The coordinate measurement data has been transmitted, please check and confirm!"

Scattered artillery positions, like stones randomly scattered among the forest, sea and snow fields, seem to be arranged irregularly, and they are far apart from each other. It is impossible to concentrate fire and sweep them all at once. Aside from wasting money and ammunition, it has little effect!

The ground anti-battery radar responded immediately, compared the calculated ballistic data with the reconnaissance aircraft, calculated the location of the Japanese heavy artillery, and found that the distance was beyond the range of the rear heavy artillery, and the self-propelled howitzer was not long enough, and the heavy double-barreled 152mm howitzer with a long enough range Drive up and deploy well, and the counterattack takes too long, but it may be taken advantage of by the enemy.

Luo Zhendong cursed a few words, contacted the attack plane and immediately went to sweep it away. The thick-skinned jf-1 peregrine falcon immediately pounced on it. The powerful propeller roared across the low sky, and the pine forest suddenly burst into pieces. Tracer, that is a dozen air defense positions suddenly opened fire!

The Japanese army, who had suffered a great loss, was not stingy in the final line of defense! 13.2mm heavy machine guns, 20mm machine guns, and 37mm anti-aircraft guns are all available.There are even a small number of 75mm anti-aircraft guns --- if most of the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns were not deployed around the core cities such as the mainland and Fengtian, they would probably deploy more!

The two jf-1s dodged left and right, and were hit by the fragments and bullets of the low-altitude explosion. The flames splashed and clanked, and the thick and heavy fuselage swayed crazily under the output of 2600 horsepower, screaming, tilting and skimming the low altitude first. Get out of the way!

The pilot yelled strangely on the radio: "Damn it! The little devil is not in the new year! All the family assets have been moved out. It's terrible!"

It's terrible!Most of them fought in the mountains before, and the large corps could not be deployed. The Japanese army had very little anti-aircraft firepower. They often used Type 25 light machine guns to shoot at high altitudes. Crossfire!

War experience is all played out!After suffering so many losses from the Chinese Air Force's strikes, the Japanese air defense level has greatly increased, and the firepower deployed is concealed, dispersed, and scientific.It can not only protect itself to the maximum extent, but also form a joint blockade effect with other positions, which is a brilliant mess!

Although there is no small-scale sounding radar, attack aircraft always need to fly low to strike accurate ground targets. They can guess the distance with the dual air-to-air horns. come down!

Luo Zhendong was furious!I am very unhappy with the work of the secret service battalion!Before starting the war, didn't you have a better understanding of the enemy's military situation?

But he wronged those brothers.In order to ensure the security of the core theater, the Japanese army fortified and cleared the surrounding areas.All the villages were swept away, and there were no civilians within a radius of [-] kilometers. As long as the scouting troops came in, they would be exposed immediately!

Neiji Okamura's defense strategy is very vicious. He would rather try to lose the hearts of the people and damage the hypocritical reputation of the imperial army's common prosperity, but also to ensure that nothing goes wrong.the area.It really can't tolerate the investigative troops!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the scattered heavy artillery positions fired at the maximum speed again and again, and the falling shells landed messily on the forward position where there were few bare grass on the river bank. There were rumbling explosions one after another, and occasionally some were close to the tanks.The violent shock waves and fragments smashed the composite armor of the car body and flew randomly, but there were very few direct hits---after the range of more than 15 kilometers, the accuracy is beyond words, let alone the black lights.To deal with armored forces, after all, it is only appropriate to have a firepower density.

After several rounds of bombardment, the seemingly exploding fireworks almost drowned the scattered tanks. The Japanese army on the opposite side couldn't help cheering. Finally, their defense line worked!

Two jf-1 attack planes had to sway out of the fire area to avoid, but followed by an "air tank"!After replacing the four-blade turboprop engine, the A-24 with greatly increased power, longer airborne time, and higher performance slowly approached from a height of more than 40 meters. The [-]mm gun protruded from the middle hatch, aiming at the ground to be reconnaissance aircraft Based on the calibrated infrared coordinates, a series of high-velocity shells were shot out suddenly!

Three rounds of artillery shells fired at a 75-degree oblique rapid-fire, each group locks on a target, the powerful alkyl crystal mixed explosives make the small warheads exert power not weaker than [-]mm grenades, and the most flashing ones Groups of dazzling light exploded immediately on the anti-aircraft firepower point!

The muzzle velocity of the ground attack gun specially modified for the "air tank" is not weaker than that of the original Bofors, but the armor-piercing capability of the warhead has more than doubled!It can penetrate a one-meter-thick concrete wall and a homogeneous steel plate less than 70mm!

The anti-aircraft guns trapped in the thick reinforced concrete submerged fortifications were not hit directly, but the fragments from the deep-penetrating explosion swept across the surface, and many exposed personnel were killed and injured immediately!

And the anti-aircraft machine guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns that lack defense in order to ensure mobility are out of luck!Fragments from nearby explosions and shattered trees interfered and hit a lot, causing heavy losses for a while!

This is just the beginning! The a24 air tank slowly circled around the center, and after firing dozens of shells, the six-barreled 7.62 machine gun suddenly fired a continuous tracer line of fire, reaping back and forth around the shiny spot of the anti-aircraft gun!On the ground, a winding and slender fire dragon swept rapidly. Wherever it passed, the dense pine forest was all broken, and the anti-aircraft vehicles were caught off guard by continuous bullets and smashed into scrap iron!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two attack planes went around in a circle to earn back, aiming at the most aggressive targets just now, it can't be explained, it is a series of rockets!Four groups of one shot, all of which are tandem warheads aimed at heavily armored targets, and several hidden deep 75 anti-aircraft gun nests were hit.The shattered chunks of concrete and the flying debris made them misfire immediately.

Two low-altitude predators that were damaged but had little impact swept past. They first fired rockets at the heavy artillery positions that were still firing in the pine forest, and then bombs washed the ground. After a circle, there were dozens of tumbling fireballs , The offensive firepower on the other side suddenly stopped a lot.

so far.Zhu's army's advantage in fighting at night has become clear.Under the defensive posture of the Japanese army, they couldn't hold back the three-dimensional attack groups with infrared night combat capabilities at all. Their flying regiments could only stare blankly, and lacked low-altitude support forces, blindly being beaten passively.

The self-propelled howitzer battalion of the mountain brigade quickly kept up with the advance. After setting up on the spot, it launched a difficult bombardment and suppression of the target on the opposite side of the river. About half an hour later, the heavy artillery battalion followed. The exposed artillery positions of the Japanese army were covered and bombed again.

at the same time.The pontoon bridge troops flocked to them, and with the assistance of heavy engineering vehicles, three steel floating corridors were erected on the ice-covered Xiliao River. The second line of defense in the village launched a mopping up!

The Japanese and puppet troops hidden in the open anti-slope artillery position poured out one after another, flat-firing artillery, [-] infantry artillery, and heavy mortars all fired, and there were countless shirtless short men with menstrual belts wrapped around their heads. Filled with explosives or anti-tank mines, screaming heart-piercingly and rushing forward from all directions, intending to die with the invulnerable tanks!

The accompanying combat vehicle opened fire immediately.The heavy machine guns on the roof and the occupants in the car fired with assault rifles from the shooting holes, forming mobile firepower fortresses.Knock down all the active targets that jump up!

Luo Zhendong was in the second batch of tanks, and he could hear the pioneers screaming incessantly: "Fuck! There are a lot of puppet soldiers who speak Korean! The bastard is stronger than the little devil!"

"Don't make a fuss! The sticks are already slavish! They are very cruel to others and themselves, don't talk nonsense, one counts as one, and they all die!"

For this group of puppet troops, Luo Zhendong has no good feelings at all!On the war zone.With the Japanese army on the line, these guys are even more vicious than the genuine devils. It can't be said that they are not afraid of death, but they are ferocious!Many villages hidden in the mountains were destroyed in advance, and they accounted for almost half of the murderers!After the inner devil and slavishness are squeezed out.Even more tyrannical, burning, killing, looting and all kinds of crimes!

Compared with the friendly army who wants to capture prisoners for political purposes and instigate rebellion, Zhu's army ignores the so-called united front requirements from top to bottom.

This also caused the Manchukuo puppet troops in front of them to run away when they saw the flag, and they would not surrender. If they were in a hurry, they would kill the Japanese and Korean servants who were holding the line and run away --- my life is important!

In view of their urgency, the Kwantung Army resolutely gave up using these guys in the key core defense line. In addition to letting them maintain city law and order, they didn't even use the transport team.

The fully armored Luozhendong regiment rushed across the Xiliao River like a bamboo. After the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles opened up the battlefield, the self-propelled artillery kept up with the close-range suppression. After reaching the city, a brutal battle for the city began!

On the other battlefields, the ferocity of the attacks was not weak at all.Especially in Jinzhou, which is a key battlefield, the Japanese army deployed countless permanent fortifications with three floors inside and three floors outside, almost building that Guancheng all the way to the sea to resemble a war fortress!Tens of thousands of troops are crowded there, planning to defend to the death!

As soon as the battle started, the first thing that greeted the past was the overwhelming artillery fire, followed by the train guns that drove up from the rear and began to bombard the thick bunker at fixed points. Groups of heavy bombers swept the sea and attacked the dense heavy ground-piercing bombs. They were thrown all over the ground in different ways, and they were drawn down like peeling onions layer by layer along the fortifications built by the Japanese army!

The ground-penetrating gliding bomb thrown by the heavy bomber against the thick bunker weighs one ton, and the heavy cloud bomb weighs four or five tons!The former can be smashed down to cover a bunker of more than ten meters, while the latter can turn the ground of a village into a sea of ​​​​fire and hell at once!

After one night, the fortifications outside Jinzhou were basically wiped out, and the more than 1 Japanese soldiers inside were killed and injured, leaving only the city wrapped in stone lumps.

In order to prevent the Chinese side from throwing rats, the vicious Japanese army detained nearly [-] civilians in the city as human shields, and publicized it early --- if you dare to blow up the city, you must kill your own people!

No matter how courageous Zhu Bin was, he could not be so cruel. After cleaning up the perimeter layer by layer, at dawn the next day, the infantry began to advance from two directions. Under the cover of the air force, they approached and bombarded the city with cannon Launch a devastating demolition operation!

The Japanese army was calm about this.They mixed the hostages among the multi-layered fortifications inside and outside. As long as the city wall is broken, every building in the city must be careful so as not to cause casualties to civilians. Street fighting, the price is huge!

How could Zhu Bin let them succeed!To deal with a bunch of poor people, the game is to bully people with high technology!After a day of movement, in the evening, the city wall of Jinzhou collapsed with numerous gaps, tens of thousands of troops surrounded the city, and after a general order, all the exposed infantrymen put on gas masks.

Not long after, a group of strange planes rushed directly from the entrance of the ancient town and flew at high speed when the night fell. It was pitch black and could not be seen clearly, only the deafening whistling could be heard. Strange bombs weighing at least [-] kilograms fell one after another from the sky. After disintegrating at low altitude, they scattered into thousands of round fists and big iron lumps, and scattered among the cities. It emits an invisible and colorless gas, which appears like a mist sprayed from the nostrils in the sub-zero low temperature air.

The Japanese soldiers, who were no strangers to this thing, screamed in horror when they saw it: "Gas bomb!" (To be continued...)
