The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

One side is a premeditated surprise attack, while the other side is passively beaten without any precautions. Even if there is no equipment gap, it is self-evident who loses and who wins.

Although the Second Armored Division of the U.S. Army is known as a "heavy armored force", it was the first to use more than 30 tons of tanks. The total number is also amazing. It is also equipped with 203mm guns as suppressive firepower. The real combat effectiveness is comparable to the Chinese navy that came to attack. The Second Division of the Marine Corps, that's not on the same level at all!

For the convenience of transportation, this unit is not equipped with the more powerful and ferocious "Tiger" heavy tank, but only uses the "light" "Cheetah-3" in their opinion, with a maximum caliber of 105mm tank gun, which is comparable to that of the US military. The short and frustrating 75 cannon is not a class thing at all!

The crazy tank regiment, rolling up the billowing smoke and condescending impact, fired first at a distance of nearly 1000 meters, and there was a bang that shook the earth. The US M3 Grant tank group that had just been launched exploded again and again, and they bloomed side by side. Splendid fireworks, hula-la burning up!

"Ah---! Damn it! Where did the tank come from!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! We are under sudden attack! Where are the artillerymen? Hurry up and kill them...!"

The U.S. tank soldiers who were caught off guard let out a horrified scream. After seeing the boiling smoke ahead, the people behind hurriedly started to evade. , who is the strongest!

Useless!They can stand still for a while, and once they move, they will immediately become the priority target!The "Cheetah", which was hunting the target at will, noticed their movement, and unceremoniously turned the turret to aim far away.One after another, they exploded!

The explosion of the two companies that suddenly appeared behind the plain aroused the idea of ​​the Pearl Harbor headquarters. Lieutenant General Short saw the sudden smoke rising from a distance, pointed and asked with a stern face: "What's going on over there?" ? Immediately call Major General Patton and ask what they are doing!"

The messenger yelled for a long time, but there was no reply.Realizing that something might be wrong, he connected directly to the artillery and armored troops in front. There was a panic shouting on the phone, and a colonel screamed loudly: "We were attacked by surprise! **! It's a Chinese tank !Damn it, God knows where they came from!"

"What?! The Chinese tanks landed? When! From where! Damn, why didn't you notice it at all!"

Lieutenant General Short's expression changed drastically!He was really afraid of what would happen, what he was most worried about finally appeared!The Chinese, indeed, launched an offensive in a way that the U.S. military did not expect at all, and it came so suddenly.The attack was so violent!

An artillery battalion is lost!The headquarters of the [-]nd Armored Division lost contact!The two regiments intercepted in front of him were in a melee and quickly retreated. The defense system around the island that he had painstakingly constructed for several months was torn apart from the inside!

Lieutenant General Short pounced on the military deployment map, stared wide-eyed and searched for a while. After looking around, he found that he did not find a unit that was stronger than the Second Armored Division and easier to launch a counterattack.With a cold heart, I personally grabbed the phone and called over: "Colonel! I don't care what method you use. In any case, the enemy must be held back! Even if we buy half an hour, we can redeploy our forces and give them a heavy blow." strike!"

The colonel on the opposite side looked at the Cheetah 3 that was rushing ahead and constantly blowing up its own tanks, and said angrily: "If God shows up, maybe that is possible! General, you'd better think of another way, we really can't stop it! Their tanks are too fast! Too powerful! Too thick armor, damn it! No way to break through!"

"Crack!" The phone hung up, and Lieutenant General Short held onto the receiver in a daze for ten seconds.Muttering and repeating, "Yeah, it can't be beat! Damn Chinese tanks, God knows how they make them so strong!"

The Chinese armored forces are not easy to mess with. This is the experience gained by the Japanese who paid millions of sacrifices.Even if they didn't get the real thing, the monkey version of the "Bayonet" tank alone was more powerful than the best heavy tank they had researched, and it was conceivable that the gap was huge.

Tanks can't hit them, and anti-tank guns are not caliber enough to penetrate armor, so what should we do?Only with heavy artillery to greet!

"Yes, we still have heavy artillery! Most of the heavy artillery regiment of the [-]nd Armored Division is still deployed in the rear. We can use heavy artillery to deal them a heavy blow!"

Lieutenant General Short's eyes lit up, and he turned his head and ordered: "Call the Artillery Regiment of the Second Tank Division, and immediately fire in the direction of the Eighth Armored Regiment!"

"Ah?!" The combat staff officer and signal soldier thought they heard it wrong, and asked the heavy artillery to fire at their troops?Mr. Commander's head is not broken!

Lieutenant General Short straightened up and snapped: "Why are you hesitating! Do it! Do you think that the tank troops in front will be spared? The Chinese have already rushed over, and it is only a matter of time before we are defeated. Get rid of them within the time limit! Otherwise, the entire Oahu defense line will be finished! Do it!"

"Yes!" The communications soldier conveyed the order verbatim with a dark face, and the artillery regiment on the opposite side naturally quit. They didn't want to bear the infamy of murdering their own people.

Lieutenant General Short personally answered the phone and shouted: "The Eighth Tank Regiment has been breached by the enemy! Their camp has been occupied and they are breaking through to the core of your division! If you don't want to be killed, stop them immediately by shooting! This is the only chance! Obey Order!"

His stern words and nervous and irritable voice finally frightened the colonel on the opposite side. He grunted to express his obedience, and then passed a series of new coordinates to every artillery position.

The heavy artillery battalion deployed in the middle and rear, close to the mountains on the east line of Oahu Island, originally aimed their guns at the beachhead in front of Pearl Harbor, but at this moment they had to make temporary adjustments and reset the positions, which was a troublesome job.

Fortunately, the 155mm howitzer is relatively light, but the 203mm heavy gun is too heavy. Pull up the gun mount and hoe, hang the crawler tractor to pull out the whole cannon, and turn the direction.Re-fixing and aiming, the whole movement will take at least 5 minutes, or even 10 minutes if it is done slowly!

But in such a short time, the tank soldiers far enough away rushed out for a distance of about ten kilometers, and the two tank battalions lined up on that side had been divided and surrounded, and they were defeated one by one.It exploded into hundreds of flaming fireballs, scattered on the uneven position!

The fastest-moving 155 howitzer battalion finally packed up and fired first!

The thick gun barrel fell back violently, amidst the roar that shook the ground, 12 shells roared towards the front more than ten kilometers away. They somehow had a conscience and aimed at the front of the 3rd Battalion of the Eighth Tank Regiment defending there, with an interval of about 100 meters. Mi Yi's shells smashed down one after another, and immediately.Wild explosions!

"Boom! Boom!"

A messy explosion swept across the battlefield, creating pits with a diameter of four or five meters one after another. Dozens of tons of sand and soil were raised high and scattered hundreds of meters away. The following cheetah tanks were caught off guard, and were hit from the side by the raging waves, and the external composite armor that was bombarded with fragments crashed indiscriminately!

"Damn it! The Americans are so ruthless! They even fired at their own house! There is a trick!"

Zhang Xunquan, the division commander who followed up the command, stood on the sidelines from the temporary camp that came out of the Chuanshan cave.Seeing this scene, he couldn't help exclaiming.The pyrotechnics from the explosion of the apparently spectacular large-caliber shells are so conspicuous, you don't even know it!

But obviously, the American movement speed is a bit slow, there are dozens of tanks in the bombing range, trying to speed up and rush forward, waiting for the second round of shells to come down.They have already run far away, and the dispersion is large enough, so there will never be a scene where multiple vehicles are destroyed by a round of shells.

The long-range bombardment of large-caliber guns is not good at this point, and it is impossible to aim and strike accurately!

While speaking, another 155th Artillery Battalion opened fire.Also hit near the former, the flames from the explosion immediately boiled, and before the sand hit the ground, another round continued, and the deterrent force began to increase exponentially.

Major General Zhang Xunquan put down his binoculars, and calmly waved his hands: "Don't let the Yankees be too rampant! What about our artillery, don't be idle, beat them down!"

Not far from him, a battalion of 152mm double-barreled self-propelled artillery had all passed through the cave and entered a wide valley. A total of 18 artillery vehicles were staggered forward and backward in three rows of arcs at a distance of about [-] meters from each other. In the sky, two unmanned The human reconnaissance plane skimmed across the central plain and rushed to the place where the smoke and clouds rose at the foot of the opposite mountain, and fed back the coordinates of significant heat source signals from low altitude.

The heavy artillery carriage of the 152nd Self-Propelled Artillery Battalion turned slightly, the thick double barrels were slightly pressed down for a short aim, and suddenly trembled violently, and the two shells were fired one after another less than a second apart!

More than 20 seconds later, a large cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the valley in the distance. Amidst the rumbling noise, a US artillery battalion and the position where the three cannons were located were flooded by dense shells!All the high-explosive grenades were scattered inside and outside like hailstones, and the roaring explosion storm ruthlessly tore and retreated from all angles, smashing the three cannons and the nearby artillery to pieces in an instant!

At this moment, the 203mm artillery battalion of the US military was finally ready. Six of them opened fire first, aiming unceremoniously at the position where the eighth regiment was originally located. In response, the dense trees were cut off countless times, and the smashed branches and leaves formed a strange green storm, floating in the air one after another!

In the explosion area, the group of Cheetah tanks charging past was going away at a fast speed. The m3 Grant or fake bayonets that were bombed out were hit by the violent shell explosion at close range, and they were directly blown into pieces, and the steel parts clanged and collided. , the huge fireball rolled and rolled a hundred meters away, the surviving American soldiers were unable to dodge, and were beaten to death by the whizzing debris, missing arms and broken legs, how miserable it would be!

The commander of the eighth regiment was still insisting, retreating while directing the resistance, the shells dropped suddenly made him almost go crazy, grabbed the walkie talkie and shouted: "Are you crazy?! The shells fell on our own heads! Bastards! You blow up your own people!"

The artillery regiment replied helplessly: "Do you have a better way?! - Only by killing the Chinaman can we be safe! Otherwise, everyone will be finished! Give you a suggestion, run as fast as you can! "

"Damn! I will never let you go, you bastard!"

The eighth regiment leader dropped the conversation, grabbed the radio and yelled at the remaining troops: "Don't fight hard, disperse and break through, and get out of this damn place!"

Bombarded by enemy tanks in front and bombed by his own cannons overhead, is there anyone more tragic than him in the world?What a pity!

He doesn't know.The artillerymen I was cursing were actually not much better than him, because just one minute after the 203mm cannon fired, those guys had already been targeted by the enemy on the opposite side!

The scene of the heavy artillery firing is so obvious and astonishing that it's hard not to see it!The anti-battery radar keenly judged the trajectory.And inversely deduced the position of the enemy artillery, combined with the information fed back by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, compared the two, and the conclusions drawn were almost as accurate as witnessing with one's own eyes.

Zhang Xunquan whistled very unsteadily, and shouted: "Hohohoho! Good guy, to use such a large-caliber cannon, he really deserves to be a rich and powerful Yankee! Since he can be ruthless and shoot at his own people, it seems that the opposite party The commander of the son is not a good stubble! I ordered, go to the cloud to explode the bombs, and blast them to me as quickly as possible!"

The 152nd Artillery Battalion did not hesitate at all.He never considered whether the things he fired were ferocious or not, and replaced them with special warheads with a picture of a cloud painted on them without saying a word, and then smashed them one after another!

With the support of Zhu Bin, the flood of cloud bombs covers the whole line from the individual version to the missile version and the aerial bomb version. Wake up, also unscrupulous!

The four gun carriages adjusted their direction.Aim at the valley where the US 203mm gun is located in the distance, and launch it suddenly.The eight small cloud bombs struck across a beautiful arc, and the accuracy was not very high, but the advantage was that their position was already high and parallel to the Hengduan valley where the opponent was located, which could effectively avoid the natural obstacles of the reverse slope, so all shells.All successfully fell into the predetermined position.

"boom---!"

The tens of kilometers long mountain suddenly erupted with an unprecedented loud noise, like a volcanic eruption, and the surging force made the whole mountain tremble!Large clusters of mushroom clouds rushed straight into the sky angrily, as terrifying as a torpedo exploded.Forming a killing range with a radius of more than [-] meters, even the heavy artillery hiding behind various obstacles, still cannot withstand the sudden explosion of thousands of degrees of high temperature, and the terrible impact formed by the air combustion explosion, even if it does not hit directly, it will be overturned by Cyclonus On the ground!

The hilltop where the U.S. Defense Command is located was also shaken endlessly by the transmitted detonation. It felt as if the initial aerial bomb exploded above the head, which almost made the heart stop suddenly!

Lieutenant General Short shook his body, his face changed immediately, he rushed to the front, looked towards the position of the artillery position, and saw the red flame rolling and rising, and the spectacular explosion that was higher than the mountain!I felt that my throat was dry, my whole body trembled, and I couldn't speak with a crackling in my throat!

horrible!terrible!

He didn't know what other words to use to describe the enemy on the opposite side.As an army general, he knows every detail of the battle best. There is no doubt that the speed and power of the enemy's retaliatory artillery fire are far beyond imagination. This ability to discover and destroy is simply miraculous, incredible!

You don't need to guess, you know, if the artillery regiment over there is not transferred, it will be finished!

In other words, in fact, the defense of the entire Oahu Island is over!The Chinese have moved all their artillery to the central part, which can directly destroy all the troops on the inner defense line deployed by the US military. With the powerful armored forces, they can do whatever they want!

"General! What should we do! If we don't act, the Second Armored Division will be finished!"

A series of urging urgings in front of him made Lieutenant General Short upset, his face pale and bloodless.He tried to take a deep breath, forced himself to remain calm, returned to the map and scanned it back and forth twice, punched heavily on the urban area of ​​Honolulu, and shouted viciously: "Order the 21st Division, the Sixth Marine Division, Immediately retreat to each city! The 27nd Marine Division and the [-]th Division leave a small number of troops for frontal security, and the rest of the main force will be pulled back by me, and they will climb over the mountains and attack the back of the Chinese! In any case, we cannot let them easily Get Oahu!"

This is simply a desperate approach!The four divisions he mentioned were lined up between the Kahnai Ridge and the forts and mountains in the south of Honolulu. They defended the long beachhead with a width of more than 30 kilometers at an angle. The task was very heavy.

From Honolulu to the Pearl Harbor Mountains, there are two divisions scattered and deployed to form a second echelon, which cooperates with the Second Armored Division to defend the front of Pearl Harbor, but now, all deployments have failed!

Lieutenant General Short was ruthless, since the other party was reluctant to bomb the city, then they might as well fight a battle for the city with them!Anyway, people like them can't withdraw, and insisting on it for a while is only for a while!

On the plains of Oahu ahead, the artillery of the two sides is firing at each other, but it seems that the U.S. military is being beaten one-sidedly and passively. The shells fired indiscriminately cause very little damage. Occasionally, a few tanks are damaged. It was damaged by the shock and could not be hit directly, but the people inside were safe and sound.

At this moment, swarms of attack planes rushed from the northwest again, soared at low altitude against the central hilly area, roared and flew on top of the heads of the surviving Second Armored Division, aimed at the panic-moving US tanks, and unscrupulously attacked them. Rocket bombs and machine guns bombarded indiscriminately, sweeping up head and face!

But the cheetah tank group, which had been attacking all the time, suddenly turned around and left the battlefield, and rushed all the way along the plain to Honolulu! (To be continued..)
