"Fuck it!"

"Go to hell, little devil!"

After the Japanese anti-tank firepower came to the fore, the Pershing tank 9

Chapter 477 What is this?

Boom boom boom, soon a series of explosions sounded, fragments of cement bricks and tiles shot everywhere, and several fortification bunkers were punched with big holes. The specific results are unknown, but at least the devils and anti-aircraft guns were temporarily suspended!

The other four fortified main castles were only cratered and not seriously damaged!

"Haha, let's have a blast too!"

At this time, four 4mm self-propelled cannon howitzers adjusted their shooting angles and aimed at the four strong main castles outside the Japanese city!

The deafening sound of cannons sounded, and four heavy artillery pieces hit the Japanese reinforced concrete main fort in an instant.

In the violent explosion, rubble flew across, and the shooting holes of the four main castles were blasted into big pits. The extremely powerful shock waves made the devils inside dizzy, and some even vomited blood, seeing that they could not survive!

But even so, there was still no substantial damage to the four main castles. Visually, the thickness of the reinforced concrete of the four main castles was at least 2 meters, and even a direct shot of heavy artillery could not hit the soul!

"Damn it! The devil is really willing to spend money!"

Jiang Jinde, the gunner of the self-propelled artillery, yelled loudly when he saw this: "Quick, replace me with a kinetic bomb, I don't believe this turtle shell can't be pierced!"

Kinetic energy ammunition refers to ammunition that relies on its own kinetic energy to kill, such as bullets and armor-piercing ammunition. The advantages of this type of ammunition are fast, simple and difficult to defend, and the disadvantage is that they cannot face-to-face killing, and the greater the kinetic energy, the greater the recoil.

Corresponding to it, the explosive fragmentation ammunition refers to relying on the fragments produced by its own explosion to kill and injure, such as grenades and grenades. The advantages of this type of ammunition are large damage to soft targets, large damage area, and small recoil.The disadvantage is that it cannot effectively kill hard targets.

"Well! Let the little devil taste our armor-piercing bullets!"

Soon the loader loaded a 155mm armor-piercing projectile into the barrel.

Boom, there was another loud noise, and the powerful recoil made the huge body of more than 30 tons tremble.

At a speed invisible to the naked eye, the armor-piercing projectile hit the large crater of the Japanese main fort with a bang, and then saw a big hole in the Japanese main fort!

The armor-piercing projectile directly pierced through the half-damaged Japanese main fort and shot into the Japanese bunker. Although the specific effect is not clear, the anti-aircraft gun is definitely finished!

"Haha, great job! Let's try it too, and put on a kinetic bomb! Pierce the devil's shell!"

Seeing this scene, the other three self-propelled artillery imitated the example and replaced them with kinetic bombs one after another!

Boom boom boom, and then a new day of hard shelling began, and the three reinforced concrete bunkers were blasted out of extremely deep potholes. Although they didn't completely penetrate, it was only a matter of time!

"Baga! What is this thing? The Chinese army actually has such a movable heavy artillery?"

Makino Takashi, the captain of the Devils, was observing the battle situation in a bunker above the city wall. He was surprised to find that self-propelled artillery appeared in the armored troops of the Huaxia Huben Army, and his eyes were straightened in shock.

"Yeah, the Chinese tiger army is too powerful! How could the empire meet such a difficult opponent! Without the fire support of the imperial air force, we would not be able to hold on for a long time!"

Another devil captain, Abe Kanta, was feeling a little chilled in his heart. At first, he thought that with the incomparably strong bunkers and city defenses, he could stand by and wait for help. The army paid an unbearable price of casualties!

However, at this moment, Abe Kanta realized that if there is no powerful air force dispatched, this can only be a luxury!

"This new situation, we must report to the head of the division as soon as possible, and strongly request air force support!"

Takashi Makino frowned. He had just landed in the Shandong Peninsula from China and met such a formidable opponent. He didn't want to die in Jimo County like this!

"Brothers, it's our turn to play!"

"Kill the devil!"

The tank and armored troops approached the front of the devils' position, suppressing the heavy firepower and firepower points so that all the devils could not raise their heads, and the infantry and engineering troops behind began to move forward!

The engineers crawled to the front of the anti-tank trench, and first threw a string of grenades into the tank trench!

Boom boom boom, I could only hear a violent explosion sound like frying beans, and sure enough there were a lot of mines buried inside!

After detonating all the mines in the anti-tank trench, the engineers jumped into the anti-tank trench with the explosive packs and carried out the blasting!

"Baga! Kill these Chinese engineers!"

"Hurry up! Shoot!"

At this time, the Japanese devils also saw the Huben Army engineers holding explosive packs, and quickly turned their guns and fired.

A series of bullets hit, stirring up earth flowers on the dirt floor, and several engineers were injured by the bullet bite!

"Fire cover!"

"Fuck these bastards to death!"

The tank's main gun and heavy machine gun rang out instantly, and the infantry hiding behind the tank and armored vehicle picked up the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle and fired at the devil's firepower point with precision!

The long and short guns were fully fired in an instant, suppressing the devil's firepower all at once.

At the same time, the battles in Linyi County, Fei County, Xintai County, Laiwu County, Yidu County, Shouguang County, and Ye County are also quite fierce, especially in Linyi County and Laiwu County!

"Nani? The Huaxia Huben Army has started a large-scale military operation again? Bageya Road! This is really a big trouble!"

Hata Junliu, who was far away in Wuhan, soon got the news, and was so angry that his teeth itch. He hadn't even thought about killing the Chinese tiger army with his carbine, but the rear was facing great military pressure.

Tsukada Gong nodded and said: "That's true! But it doesn't matter too much. The empire only needs to lock down the defense line of Mount Tai and a few ports. Even if they let them expand their territory, it will not be of much use!"

Hata Junliu frowned, and said in a broken voice: "How can things be so simple! If the corruption continues like this, it is likely to cause a series of big problems!

For example, the Huaxia Huben Army regained a large amount of lost ground, which will definitely greatly boost the morale of the Huaxia Army!The empire is now at a critical moment, and Wang Jingwei has already expressed his intention to surrender!

At this time, there really can't be any troubles, or else the success will fall short! "

Tsukada Gong nodded and said: "This is indeed a big trouble, what I am most worried about is that the Soviet government will continue to increase assistance to the Chinese government because of this!

At that time, the weapons and equipment aided by the Soviet Union will continue to enter China, and there may even be large-scale aid to the Air Force!

After receiving these weapons and equipment and air force assistance, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army will increase greatly, coupled with their high morale and fighting spirit, and the powerful opponent of the Chinese Tiger Army!

It is not impossible for the situation of the Sino-Japanese War to be completely reversed! "

"Nani?"

Akira Muto's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the solemn Tsukada and said, "Will it be so serious? The empire now has an absolute advantage, how could the situation be reversed because of a local army?"

Chapter 478

"That's right, that's what I'm most worried about. If they echo each other and even connect with each other, it will be a disaster!

You may wish to imagine how much the morale of the Huaxia Army will be encouraged if the Huaxia Huben Army continues to grow and even recover the entire Shandong area? "

Hata Junliu looked very dignified, and then continued:

"In order to avoid such an unfavorable situation, I think the empire must make up its mind and mobilize at least ten divisions or more to annihilate the Huaxia Huben Army without delay!

Because I have a strange feeling that the opponent of the Huaxia Huben Army cannot be deduced by common sense. It is not just a military blockade and an economic blockade that can stop them from growing. The longer the time delays, the more dangerous it will be! "

Neiji Okamura nodded and said in agreement: "What Hatatoshi-san said is very true, and I also feel the same way! Since this is the case, we might as well jointly appeal to His Majesty the Emperor and change the war strategy appropriately!"

"Yosh! As it should be!"

Hata Junliu nodded, then stood up and walked to the window, looking at the urban area of ​​Wuchang that had just experienced the flames of war, said quietly:

"Since ancient times, heroes have been judged by success or failure. The empire is facing the best historical opportunity in the millennium. If such a great river and mountain cannot be completely integrated into the empire's territory, we will be the eternal sinners of the Yamato nation!"

"Hayi! Hata Toshi-san's words are very true, the winner is the prince and the loser is the Kou. From the moment the war started, the Yamato nation still has no way out, the only way is to go forward bravely!"

"Yoxi! For the eternal foundation of the Yamato nation, we must work together, even if we shed the last drop of blood for the empire!"

Neiji Okamura, Gong Tsukada and Akira Muto and other old devils nodded heavily!

Although the bloody battle in Wuhan and the heavy casualties paid by the Japanese army still made them still have lingering fears, these old devils became more restless and brutal and bloodthirsty deep in their hearts!

After a pause, Ningji Okamura said in a deep voice: "However, I still think that our most important task at present is to capture Nanchang and cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway line connecting the third and ninth theaters of China!"

On November 1938, 11, surrounded by his staff and guards, Neiji Okamura stepped into Wuhan City as a victor.

Neiji Okamura set up the No.11 Army Command in the former Hubei Provincial Government compound in Wuchang. The place where he stayed and worked happened to be the official residence of Chen Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone of China and the chairman of Hubei Province before the fall of Wuhan.

Not long after Neiji Okamura entered Wuhan, he felt a sense of crisis.

He was the commander of the No. 11 Army during the Wuhan Battle. Because he was eager for quick success and quick benefits at the beginning of his tenure, the troops suffered casualties and poor progress, so he felt deeply self-blame for this.

Later, because the Matsuura Division was sent to advance alone, the emperor was worried about the [-] Japanese troops trapped in the siege of Wanjialing. Be greatly stimulated and become cautious.

After the battle, the Japanese army achieved its strategic goal of occupying Wuhan, but the Japanese army actually only occupied a long and narrow strip along the Yangtze River in Central China.

This occupied area extending along the waterway from Shanghai to Wuhan is directly threatened by millions of troops between the third, fifth and ninth theaters of the Chinese army.

Neiji Okamura has always been worried that China's third war zone and ninth war zone will echo each other and launch an offensive together. The fifth war zone will respond in Jiangbei, which may trap his No.11 army in Wuhan.

Nanchang, the capital city where the Nanxun Railway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway intersect, made Okamura feel like a stick in his throat.

Not only because the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway is the main transportation line connecting the Third Theater and the Ninth Theater, but also because the Huaxia Air Force's Nanchang Airport directly threatens the Japanese army's rule over Wuhan and the occupied areas along the river.

Therefore, Neiji Okamura has been planning and calling for battles to eradicate the huge threat of Nanchang, and at the same time, he also wants to get some capital back on the Nanxun Line battlefield that made him ashamed.

At this time, the Chinese tiger and cardinal army in Shandong started to make trouble again. Gangcun Ningci was extremely worried that once the tiger broke free from the cage and joined Li Zongren's troops in the fifth theater, it would be an unimaginable situation. Catastrophe!

Although Yang Fan's "warlord" nature is extremely strong, and he has the appearance of not interfering with other Chinese military groups, Okamura Ningji knows very well that Yang Fan is a Chinese who firmly resists Japan. Will let it go!

"Okamura-kun, what you are worried about is also what I am worried about, but the timing is not right now. Not only do we need time to rest and mobilize our troops, but we also need to formulate a new combat strategy against the Chinese Tiger Army!"

Hata Toshiroku sighed helplessly. As the scale of the war of aggression against China expanded step by step, the disadvantage of Japan's small population with few resources and poor resources gradually became prominent!

After several major battles, the Japanese army's strength has been stretched. The country is mobilizing for large-scale wars, and a large number of new divisions are being formed. However, it will take a long time to form the strongest combat effectiveness.

Due to the principle of confidentiality, the official media did not publicize the "ice-breaking operation" launched by the Huaxia Huben Army with great fanfare in the first place, but such a big movement cannot be hidden!

The general public near the war zone, newspapers, and agents of the enemy and us all noticed this situation, and soon all kinds of news spread like wildfire through various channels.

"Mother Xipi, Yang Fan really knows how to pick the time, I hope the movement can be made bigger, so that the little devils dare not continue to rush into Nanchang!"

At this time, Generalissimo Jiang was holding the Nanyue Military Conference in Hengshan, Hunan. More than 300 senior generals of the Kuomintang army attended the meeting, and Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying of the CCP attended the meeting.

At the meeting, Generalissimo Chiang re-divided the national theaters, setting up eight theaters and two theaters behind enemy lines.

The meeting decided to hold a Southwest guerrilla cadre training class in Nanyue, requiring the CCP to send cadres to teach guerrilla warfare.The director of the Nanyue training class was concurrently served by Chairman Jiang, Tang Enbo as the dean of education, Ye Jianying as the deputy dean of education, and Zhou Enlai as the lecturer on international issues in the training class.

Chairman Jiang is very familiar with Nanchang. Nanchang is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. He once sent troops to attack this city during the Northern Expedition. "!"

Nanchang Hunan, Jiangxi and Zhejiang water and land transportation hub, not only the intersection of Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway and Nanxun Railway, but also Xiangtang Highway and Jingxiang National Highway are also connected here, and the surrounding land transportation extends in all directions!

In the eyes of Generalissimo Jiang, Nanchang's status in the Anti-Japanese War was almost equivalent to that of the accompanying capital, juxtaposed with Hankou, Beiping, and Guangzhou.

The Japanese army in Wuhan had long been ready to reveal their intention to attack Nanchang, but at this time Yang Fan launched a large-scale counterattack, and the momentum was extremely violent. Chairman Jiang naturally hoped to get some turning points from it.

Chapter 479 Defection

The fierce battle lasted for a whole day, until it got dark at 7 pm, and the Huaxia Huben Army Mingjin retreated and temporarily stopped the attack.

Due to fear of the mysterious and powerful Flying Tigers of the Chinese Huben Army, the Japanese Navy, Air Force Corps has never participated in the battle. Instead, the helicopter brigade of the Flying Tigers frequently dispatched guest bombers, which put great pressure and damage on the Japanese positions!

The fleet of the Japanese army cruising in the offshore area was limited by the range and coastal defense guns, and it was also unable to provide effective fire support for the Japanese army defending the cities and fortresses!

Therefore, the Chinese Huben Army, which has air supremacy, heavy artillery, and tank armor, has occupied the absolute initiative on the battlefield from the very beginning, while the Japanese defenders are relying on fortifications and geographical advantages to resist!

After a day of fierce fighting, the Huaxia Huben Army has made great progress, breaking through multiple lines of defense in Xintai County, Shouguang County, Ye County, Yidu County, Jimo County and other directions, and heavily gathered near the county seat!

Although the Huaxia Huben Army showed great ambitions, the Japanese army's reaction was not fierce, and it seemed that this had been foreseen for a long time!

The Japanese defenders everywhere adopted a passive defense posture. Although they did not take the initiative to attack and confront the Huaxia Huben army head-on, they did not retreat in key defensive areas!

Unlike the Yimapingchuan Lubei Plain, most of the counties and cities attacked this time are hilly and mountainous. Due to the limited terrain, tanks and armored units cannot exert their true strength!

The Japanese army is also well aware of the Chinese Huben Army's field combat capabilities in the plains, so it has been building fortifications on a large scale a few months ago, especially in hills and mountainous areas!

Therefore, although the fighting initiative is firmly in the hands of the Huaxia Huben Army, it is not that simple to achieve the strategic goal of the ice-breaking operation!

Just like the Vietnam War and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the U.S. military has an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment, but it is also extremely difficult to conquer the solid defense lines built on the mountain, even at a heavy price!

However, Yang Fan is not in a hurry about this. He is idle anyway, and has enough financial and material resources to support the long-term battle. He can eat it little by little, and he is training elite soldiers!

On the morning of the next day, in view of the severe war situation in Shandong and the joint admonition of Hata Toshiroku, Okamura Ningji and others, the Japanese Emperor Hirohito once again convened important ministers to discuss countermeasures!

However, after discussions and discussions, the final opinion is still to besiege the Huaxia Huben Army, using strong fortifications and defensive positions to consume, and the focus of attack should be on the Republic of China government!

Emperor Hirohito and other high-level Japanese still have the fantasy of making the Republic of China government surrender, and at the same time they are currently trying to lure Wang Jingwei to surrender, so at this critical moment, they don't want to gnaw at the hard bone of the Chinese Tiger Army!

On December 12, shortly after the Nanyue Conference chaired by Generalissimo Jiang ended, a plane mysteriously flew from Kunming to Hanoi.

What is the purpose of Wang Jingwei's trip?

Did you get a secret order from Chairman Jiang to play the double reed of World War I and Peace?
