Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Although he knew the ins and outs of this guerrilla group, he didn't describe their current situation too much, only mentioning that they had completely lost contact a few months ago, and they didn't know anything about their strength, weapons and equipment.

"It's 'four' and 'eight'. It's clearly a team organized by Yan'an. I think people in Yan'an are all-pervasive now?" Wang Teng squeezed the message and smiled wryly.

Wang Teng was born in the navy and graduated from the Wusong Naval Academy. After the Jiangyin naval battle, his ship was sunk into the mouth of Jiangyin. He became the captain of the guerrilla from a first officer, and began to lead his troops to lay mines on the Yangtze River to stop the enemy.

When Jiang Haoran formed the navy, Chen Chen sent him a temporary naval division with him in it. He was just a battalion commander at that time.

Later, he was among the first batch of officers to study in the United States, and he entered the famous West Point Military Academy in the United States.

After returning to China, at the time when Chittagong was growing vigorously, Chen Shaokuan appointed him as the major general commander of the second division of the Marine Corps.

After all, he is a general who grew up under the banner of the party and the flag, and he seems to have some emotions about the current growth of Yan'an.

Cao Guoliang didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended to be confused, so he said carelessly: "You don't care who he is, as long as he knows that he is our ally and is beneficial to our current battle."

"Is it beneficial, why don't I think so?" Wang Teng said disdainfully: "How many people and weapons do they have? How is their combat effectiveness? Even where are they now? We don't know at all, how can this help us?"

Cao Guoliang smiled and said: "Brother, it doesn't matter if we don't know where they are, the key is that they must know that we are here, and they will definitely find us. Also, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest, don't be underestimated." Judging by the strength of the ants, maybe we rely on these ants to defeat the enemy."

Wang Teng looked contemptuous, and opened his mouth to say something. At this time, a staff officer hurried in to report that the army on the left had news that they had launched an attack an hour ago, with two regiments as the vanguard advancing towards the jungle. 15 minutes after entering Encountered the enemy's blocking position, the two sides began a fierce exchange of fire.

The enemy has a complete group of semi-permanent fortifications. Relying on the mountainous terrain structure, they make full use of the advantages of the jungle to build firepower points, hidden machine guns, and artillery positions, all of which are hidden between ravines or even trees.

Moreover, the enemy used a large number of poison gas bombs, and the left army who was caught off guard suffered a great loss. Two regiments entered, and when they came out, they couldn't even make up one regiment.

Therefore, Master Duan Ruyi specially reminded Cao Guoliang to be vigilant.

The two secretly rejoiced that they were not in a hurry to fight, otherwise the situation would definitely not be much better than Duan Ruyi and the others. What made them most angry was that the shameless island army actually took out the conscienceless biochemical? Another factor of uncertainty was introduced.

But no matter what, the battle still had to be fought. After discussing it, the two decided to go out with two regiments to test the waters first.

Because the Marine Corps is good at landing battles, and jungle warfare is not their advantage, so the new fifth division was asked to come to mine for the previous trip.

The new 46th and new 47th regiments of the new fifth division were ordered to go to the front line when they were in danger.

As mentioned in Duan Ruyi's previous intelligence, it took them more than ten minutes to encounter the enemy's blocking after entering the jungle, which meant that the enemy's defense line was at least two or three miles away from entering the jungle.

The little devil is also very cunning, and he has included the range of the artillery. If he wants to bombard indiscriminately outside the jungle, it may be useless at all.

Cao Guoliang didn't bother, and only allocated a tank battalion to the two regiments, with 4 M[-] Sherman medium tanks.

At present, all the tanks of the expeditionary force come from the assistance of the Mi Army and the British Army. Most of them are equipped with the Mi Army M4, and only a small amount of Churchill aided by the United Kingdom.

Although the Sherman medium tank is not as powerful as the Tiger and T34, and its armor is not as thick as them, it is the most reliable tank in World War II. Its power system is even less durable than Soviet tanks, and German tanks are even more beyond reach.The German Tiger Leopard tank needs to be overhauled every 1,000 kilometers, and the tank must be sent back to the factory for overhaul.

The Sherman tank only needs the most basic field maintenance. It is reliable in performance and has very few failures. Therefore, the attendance rate of the Mi army tanks is much higher than that of the German tanks. This is also in line with the national conditions of the Chinese army. The maintenance is simple and applicable.

Moreover, the Sherman tank also has several world-leading technologies.

First of all, Tai's turret rotation device is the fastest among all tanks in World War II. It only takes less than 10 seconds to rotate a circle, which enables Sherman to react quickly in close-range tank battles and shoot quickly to destroy opponents.

Secondly, Sherman was one of the few tanks in World War II equipped with a vertical stabilizer for artillery, which could accurately aim at the target and fire while on the move.In this regard, except for the tanks produced by Jiang Haoran and the current T34-85 of the Soviet Union, this technology is available. There is no doubt that the Soviets took advantage of Jiang Haoran.

In addition, Sherman's 500-horsepower gasoline engine is also one of the best tank engines in World War II, making the Sherman tank have a top road speed of 47 kilometers per hour.

These advantages are very important for mobile combat. Even though it is not at the same level as the Tiger and Leopard, it also relied on these advantages and its huge quantitative advantage to compete against the German army throughout World War II and win a place.

The tank battalion moved into the jungle along the road, followed by the soldiers.

Before the troops had fully entered the jungle, there were successive explosions in the jungle, followed by a mess of gunshots.

Cao Guoliang, who was looting outside, frowned immediately, because all the gunshots came from the AK47 of the national army, and he didn't hear the sound of the little devil's [-] big cover or other submachine guns.

Not long after, news came back from the front that the little devil had planted a large number of land mines on the road, making it difficult for the tank to move forward. A lot of land mines had also been planted in the jungle on both sides of the road, and many organs and traps were arranged. , There are also a small number of island army snipers, engineers who specialize in sniping demining.

What's a shame is that the soldiers haven't seen a little devil directly, even with a *, and there is no trace to be found.

"Damn it, you kid isn't playing according to the routine. Anyway, the left side is still going to block it head-on. We'll just play tricks here." Wang Teng gritted his teeth.

Cao Guoliang said in a deep voice: "Add more demining engineers, expand the search area on the two wings, and forcefully break through."

"Yes." The messenger led the order and left.

Cao Guoliang turned his head and said to Wang Teng: "Brother, I am afraid that we have encountered a lifelong enemy this time. The little devil has a variety of commanders. I am afraid that every step forward will have to pay a heavy price in casualties?"

"Why don't you... call the air force, and let's blow him up first?" Wang Teng said grimly.
