Chapter 363: Goal: annihilate a Japanese division! On the other side, Luzon Island, after five days of intense landing. All the more than 50,000 men of the 12th Division of the Yunnan Army arrived at Luzon Island. At the same time, there are also various types of artillery. Even the M3 light tanks were delivered. This is not to say that Cun Yunsheng owns transport ships, but uses modified battleships to transport these tanks to the battleships. Because Cun Yunsheng remembered the incident of the tank being put on the ship, he wondered whether the tank could be transported to the battleship without a transport ship. After testing, I found that it is indeed possible. The only drawback is that the battleships do not transport many tanks. Fortunately, the 12th Division of the Yunnan Army has successfully landed on Luzon Island, so he is not in a hurry now.
On the contrary, it was the Japanese army who were more anxious. On Luzon Island, Lieutenant General Kawahara No. 7, commander of the Japanese 23rd Division, was already a little desperate. Because the opponent's heavy artillery began to show its power. Boom! When the first heavy artillery shell hit the Japanese position. Especially the dense explosions and the whistling of artillery shells in their ears made them frightened and angry. What is surprising is that the heavy artillery of the Chinese Army is indeed so powerful, just like the rumors. Judging from the sound of artillery, there were at least hundreds of heavy artillery firing concentratedly, which was far beyond the size of their heavy artillery brigade. And they are all 155mm heavy howitzers. Why do they have so many heavy howitzers? This kind of terrifying firepower really shocked the commander of the 23rd Division and Lieutenant General Kawahara No. 7. Of course, he was angry because the other party didn't take him seriously at all. Are you really crazy to dare to attack the imperial warriors who have an overwhelming military advantage? Although he hated it with itch, he also knew that there was nothing he could do against the Chinese army. Surrounded by exploding shells and debris, he could only lie down under the table, not daring to move. Except for a few guards around him, he could not command anyone at all. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. When did the three divisions behind him arrive? Where are the reinforcements?
Why haven’t you come yet? What about the fighter planes? Didn’t you mean reinforcements from three divisions? Counting the other three divisions on Luzon Island, there are seven divisions. Since they clearly have an absolute advantage, why do the Chinese troops still dare to attack them? At the same time, he secretly swore that when the artillery fire was over, he would definitely give the Chinese army some color and let them know how powerful he was. However, the artillery preparations this time were very long. Nearly a full hour, until they were almost at their limit and the fire finally stopped. Finally, the overwhelming artillery fire slowly stopped, and finally the battlefield was completely silent. However, they all know that this is just the beginning. “Baga, order the troops to enter the position immediately, the Chinese will launch an attack soon.” “Hai!” The communications soldier beside him responded immediately, then turned around and left, and began to convey the order. After receiving the order, the Japanese troops hiding in the air-raid shelters immediately came out and began to enter the position under the command of their respective officers. When I arrived at the position, I found that the originally neat position was now full of craters due to bombing. Basically there is no complete position. Bomb craters are arranged in a messy manner on the battlefield. Most of the originally dug trenches and machine gun positions were destroyed. What’s even worse is that some teams were simply reorganized and disappeared. The better thing is to survive a small part. Most of them are injured by everyone. Many people even had their eardrums shattered and could not hear any sound at all. “Baga, I can’t hear you.” “Baga, what on earth are you talking about?” “Baga, can’t you all hear me?” the Japanese squadron leader asked with a dull expression when he saw that there were only less than fifty people. A third-line division like theirs has close to 200 people in a squadron. There are less than fifty people left now? And most of the ears are deaf.
How to fight this? The key point is that many Japanese soldiers are still bleeding from their orifices. It is obvious that the bombing just now has dealt a heavy blow to them. In fact, even if they do not die now, they will be worse off than dead in the future. There will be various sequelae that will accompany them throughout their lives. Of course, some Japanese soldiers began to spit out minced meat. These are the internal organs that have been shattered. “Baga, how can we fight such a battle?” Most of the people behind you are deaf, so what's the point? But it was of no use, because the shadow of the Chinese army on the opposite side could be clearly seen. "Baga, they are Chinese. This is their chariot. Where are our anti-tank guns?" “Baga, what are you doing standing still?” the Japanese squadron leader looked at the dazed soldiers next to him and shouted angrily. After speaking, I came back to my senses because the other party couldn't hear me. He was so angry that he wanted to shoot the other person, so he had no choice but to kick him. Then he pointed at the infantry chariot in the distance and gestured with something. The Japanese soldiers who recovered their senses immediately ran towards the anti-tank guns. Some Japanese soldiers even tied bombs directly on their bodies, hoping to smash them with the opponent's tanks. Seeing this scene, the Japanese squadron leader laughed angrily. Are you going to die? Haven’t you seen so many infantry behind the opponent? But now I can’t control so much. We can only think of ways to hold our position. Otherwise, they will be dead when the Chinese army rushes up. The Japanese troops behind them all moved into their respective positions. Bang! After everything is ready, there is no need to wait for the squadron leader to issue orders. In fact, there is no use in issuing orders at this time. Because they couldn't hear, rather than waiting for the squadron leader to give the order, they might as well fire themselves. Thinking of this, many people feel sad. Even if they survive now, they will still be disabled in the future.
It's better to die in battle and maybe get a pension. At this time, the anti-tank artillery fired first. The Army's Type 1 47mm anti-tank gun was a US military tank designed to cope with the Pacific War. The Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters specially equipped it for the independent rapid-fire artillery brigade. The commander of the 23rd Division stationed on Luzon Island happened to be equipped with an independent rapid-fire brigade. I saw an orange-red flame emitting from the muzzle of the anti-tank gun, and then it flew forward quickly, and then disappeared. "Baga! You idiots, don't you know how to aim?" The squadron next to him felt so angry that his liver ached. There were only a few artillery shells, so they were wasted here. And it’s just one door. These idiots. “Baga, I’m really a fool, I’m going to be **** off by you, you deaf people.” The subordinates are all deaf, how to solve it? In fact, those Japanese soldiers also knew that their own officials would not have anything good to say. After all, a fool can spot that furious expression. It’s just that they don’t care anymore. Let him scold you! They couldn’t hear it anyway. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. What's more, with such a long distance, it would be crazy to hit it in one go. It’s normal to miss. After all, this anti-tank gun has no scope. It’s really difficult to aim with the naked eye. At this time, the speed of the chariot on the opposite side began to increase, crossing one crater after another, and running towards them. "Baga, stand up and prepare, and you will be crushed by the Chinese army" Seeing this scene, the Japanese squadron captain had nothing to say, turned around and shouted loudly. After saying that, he slapped himself again. I am really an idiot. Why did I talk to them again? I am so damned good. Why give him a group of deaf people? In fact, this kind of scene is happening in many places, because the heavy artillery bombing just now caused many Japanese soldiers to have their eardrums shattered.
The machine guns on the tanks on the opposite side fired wildly, obviously suppressing fire. The Japanese troops on the position were beaten so hard that they could not even lift their heads. Tanks are mobile firepower points. Especially the dozen or so tanks in front of them made all the Japanese soldiers a little scared. This is already a large number, and there are many soldiers behind them. Some Japanese soldiers who did not believe in evil began to fire at the tanks. It's a pity that there is nothing except a little bullet mark. “Baga, where are the combat artillery pieces? Where are our combat artillery pieces?” “Hurry up and fire?” “Baga, what are you doing in a daze?” As a result, the soldiers operating the anti-tank guns kept gesticulating. There are no more shells. The original shells had long been destroyed. In fact, they no longer have to waste their efforts. Because no matter how hard you try, it’s useless. After the 12th Division of the Yunnan Army completed the landing with all its personnel, Cun Xingxing directly ordered to expand the scope of the attack. Strive to eliminate the commander of the 23rd Japanese Division on the opposite side in one go. It would be a shame if the division of only 20,000 people could not be completely annihilated. So the Japanese army could only look at the opponent's tanks in despair, slowly but surely driving towards their own position. Behind these tanks were densely packed infantry. "Report, Your Excellency, Division Commander, the tank troops of the China Army are attacking fiercely. The offensive is so fierce that the soldiers on the front line cannot stop it." From the headquarters of the 23rd Division, the combat staff who rushed in faced Sichuan Source No. 7 Middle School. Said the general. Hearing this, Lieutenant General Oikawa Yuanqi’s face turned extremely ugly. Before, he was clamoring that he wanted to show off to the Chinese army. Now I have long lived up to my previous arrogance. In other words, he is only thinking about how to stop the Chinese army's attack. "How many tanks were dispatched on the other side?" Although he was panicked, he still had the necessary military qualities. Lieutenant General Oikawa Genshichi asked immediately. "There are about twenty tanks. It should be the main force. The people on the other side want to kill us all." The combat staff said quickly. "Is this a general attack?" Lieutenant General Oikawa Genchi couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this.
If this is the case, then it will be a really tough battle. Others in the headquarters obviously also reacted. This is not good news. Because since the opponent has launched a general attack, they are at least aiming to annihilate one division. This means that their division may be completely wiped out next. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath. “Send a message to the headquarters immediately and request tactical guidance.” Since we know the other party’s purpose, we naturally don’t hide it. Now that you have determined the opponent's purpose, you will naturally request reinforcements immediately. Mainly, the strength of the Sichuan Legion is too strong, and they really don’t dare to gamble. “Hai...” the communications staff officer next to him responded quickly. At this time, another communications soldier hurried in. "Your Excellency, Division Commander, our second line of defense has been breached. The Chinese are attacking our third line of defense, but the opponent's firepower is so fierce that we cannot stop it at all." "Baga...why is it so fast?" Lieutenant General Oikawa Genchi was dumbfounded. How long has it been? Although I know that the other party has strong firepower, my subordinates are not vegetarians. The second line of defense is just gone? Who would believe this? But this is the fact. Now the third line of defense is also in danger. The place where he is is the fourth line of defense. It is also praised by him as the strongest line of defense. But now he is also beating a drum in his heart. Is this really the strongest line of defense? Not necessarily! Of course, he didn’t dare to say this. “What exactly do the Chinese troops want to do? Are they really going to annihilate a whole division? Are they afraid of pushing themselves to death?” "Your Excellency, Division Commander, we must speed up the reinforcements in the rear now, otherwise we may really be in danger." The combat staff officer next to him could no longer care so much and said immediately. “Xingxi, you are right. Send another telegram to the headquarters.” “Hai!”
… At this time, on the battlefield, Cun Xingxing looked at the Japanese army in the distance. The defenses on the position were almost destroyed, and he immediately issued an order. “Speed up and rush over.” "yes." Soon, the charging commanders received the order to speed up. The infantry behind him also followed closely. Facing the roaring steel behemoths, the Japanese army had no choice but to watch them rush over. There was no other way. They had no effective anti-tank weapons on the position. In the end, they had no choice but to organize a support team again. Fortunately, the infantry has accumulated a lot of experience in facing the Japanese suicide attacks. So, when you see the Japanese troops coming forward, you directly pull the trigger and shoot wildly. Ta ta ta ta! Ta ta ta ta! Ta ta ta ta! Many Japanese soldiers who stood up were knocked to the ground before they could even reach the tanks. “Speed up and rush over. In front of you is the Japanese division headquarters. Try to annihilate the Japanese 23rd Division.” At this moment, Cun Xingxing was extremely high-spirited. At this moment, there were bursts of roaring sounds in the sky. Cun Xingxing took a closer look and saw that there was a dark area in the distance, and there were almost dozens of fighter planes. Flying toward them at extremely fast speeds. “Is that a Japanese fighter plane?” Cun Xingxing immediately took out his telescope and looked at it. When I saw the number of Japanese fighter planes clearly, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. There are quite a lot of them, and they are all single-wing fighters. It is obvious that the Japanese army knows the old fighters and has no power to fight back against their fighters. “Where are our fighter planes?” Cun Xingxing was not panicked, because there were already fighter planes waiting in the sky. He believed that his own fighter planes could definitely surprise him. Boom! Suddenly there was an explosion in the sky! The leading Japanese fighter plane was directly destroyed! In his eyes, more than twenty P51 fighter jets were quickly rushing towards the Japanese fighter formation. Boom! Boom!
Boom! The speed was very fast. In less than a minute, three more Japanese fighter planes were shot down. The Japanese soldiers, whose morale had soared, suddenly became discouraged again as they watched their own fighter planes being shot down one after another. (End of this chapter)
