Take Taobao to fight against Japan

"These bastards really cost money!"

Seeing that the Moulmein Fortress was instantly engulfed by billowing thick smoke, and earth-shattering explosions continued to hit like fried beans, Hao Cheng's expression could not help but change slightly.

Under such high-intensity saturation bombing, no matter how strong the defense is and how good the protection work is, there is no way to completely avoid casualties. Forts, bunkers, and fortifications will definitely cause great damage.

After a pause, Hao Cheng almost murmured to himself: "But I believe that the brothers of the 3rd Brigade will be able to hold on to their positions and kill the little devil until he bleeds like a river!"

Li Bin, who had just arrived at the observation bunker, nodded and agreed: "Yes, the little devils are really anxious! They want to break through the mouth of the Salween River as quickly as possible, and then rush to help the upper reaches of the war to make back their capital!"

"These little devils are really whimsical, today they are doomed to lose everything!"

Hao Cheng snorted coldly, then turned his eyes back and said, "And what we have to do now is to kill all these devil soldiers who went ashore, and make them regret their lives!"

"Haha, that's right! The fat in their mouths must not let them fly away!"

Li Bin pursed his lips into a smile, and locked his eyes on the vanguard of the devils looming in the smoke far away.

"Brothers! Hit me hard!"

"Kill it!"

"Go to hell! Little devil!"

About 10 minutes later, the vanguard of the Japanese Marine Corps that landed on Bilu Island finally reached the forward position of Bilu Island. The rifles spewed out tongues of flame.

In the violent metal storm, the three tractor tanks rushing to the front were directly pierced and exploded, and even the twenty little devil soldiers who followed behind were not spared.

Boom boom boom, after a burst of violent explosions and gunshots, the devil's vanguard troops were wiped out, leaving only a pile of scrap metal and broken limbs and arms!

"Baga, Lu! Get out of here!"

"Hurry up and fire!"

"The bazooka shooter took aim!"

"Pyro Squadron! Ready to fight!"

The military quality of this wave of Devil Marines is very good, and the weapons and equipment they carry are not weak. Not only are there Type 97 tanks for traction and cover, but also heavy infantry firepower such as heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, iron fist rocket launchers, and mortars. 1 squadron of Pyromen!

After suffering a small loss, the remaining devil marines not only did not feel timid or afraid, but seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, their eyes were red and they quickly launched a counterattack!

The ground offensive and defensive battle for the fortress of Bilu Island officially started, and the ground offensive and defensive battle for the fortress of Mawlamyine is about to officially start.

After the bombing and shelling of the devils in the early morning, the Japanese Guards Division and the 55th Division from Mudong assembled more than 60 Type 97 tanks and thousands of devil soldiers, and launched an attack on the Moulmein Fortress from the northeast and south. Offensive.

Xie Jinyuan led the officers and soldiers of the third brigade Huben Army to face the battle calmly, and when the leading troops of the Devil Guards Division entered the 35-kilometer range, he ordered the artillery to conduct continuous shelling for long-range consumption.

Mawlamyine is located in the alluvial plain, except for the Birao Mountains in the southeast, it is surrounded by flat plains, and the attack direction chosen by the Guards Division happens to be the vast plains.

Boom, boom, boom, the heavy artillery kept roaring, and the ten-jin-heavy shell roared and flew tens of kilometers away. When it crashed to the ground, it released terrifying energy in an instant.

The super-pressure shock wave and high-speed fragments will form an absolute lethal radius within 10 meters of the explosion center, which can completely tear human organs and internal organs to death!

However, within the range of 10 meters to 20 meters, the auditory organs and internal organs of the human body will still be greatly damaged, the limbs are likely to be fractured, and the probability of serious injury can reach more than 70%!

At a distance of 20 meters, the power of the overpressure shock wave is already very small, but if it is unfortunately hit by high-speed fragments on the torso or head, it may still cause serious trauma, and if it is not treated in time, it will still bleed to death!

The Mawlamyine Fortress is condescending and has a wide field of fire. Dozens of artillery cannons are aimed at where to shoot, especially the 8 240mm K3 heavy artillery turrets that can rotate freely, which are even more grandpa-like.

Due to limited construction conditions and cost, Yang Fan used the 240mm K3 heavy gun of the German company Rheinmetall for the main gun of the Mawlamyine Fortress, instead of the 305mm twin-mounted fort cannon of the Longgangshan Fortress.

In order to increase the range of the artillery, the Germans re-applied the "cone-bore gun" technology on the anti-tank gun to the 240mm K3 heavy gun.

The bottom of the gun bore is 240 mm, and the muzzle is 180 mm. There are 2 barrels connected in the middle, and the entire barrel has a thermal sheath.

Since the gun is designed on the principle of "cone bore gun", its initial speed of exiting the bore has been greatly improved, and its range has also been greatly increased. The maximum range of the gun's extended-range shells is 52 kilometers.

This kind of heavy firepower is definitely enough for the Moulmein Fortress. Not only can it block the mouth of the Salween River so that the Devils warships dare not get too close to the coastline, but it can also pose a great threat to the Devils army.

Knowing that the artillery of the Moulmein Fortress is powerful, in order to avoid being concentrated fire, the Devil Guards Division kept a wide distance during the march.

However, in the vast and uncovered plain northeast of Mawlamyine, the devil soldiers can't hide if they want to!

Chapter 860 Working hard for a long time is just a fart

After the bombing of the aircraft fleet, the First Brigade of the Devil Guards Division began to cross the river and headed for the Moulmein Fortress.

Chariots, artillery, and soldiers were constantly blown up and shattered, and countless metal fragments, limbs, and flesh and blood were scattered on the green grass.

The originally lush and beautiful wilderness was devastated by the artillery fire, and shockingly huge craters were blasted out, and billowing smoke that could not be melted rose up!

The strong smell of blood and choking gunpowder smoke permeated everywhere, completely covering up the original refreshing fragrance of grass and trees, and the good paradise became a hell on earth in an instant.

"Baga! Can't the Huaxia Army's shells run out? This has been shelling for two hours!"

Seeing the continuous flickering flames of the forts of the mountain fortress in the far distance, and watching the marching guard divisions being continuously bombarded, Shojiro Iida's face was as ugly as it was.

Shojiro Iida originally thought that under the high-intensity saturation bombing of the Japanese Air Force, half of the artillery would have to be killed, even if half of the artillery survived, but these artillery fired continuously at intervals of tens of kilometers, and the accuracy of the artillery was very limited.

It would be great if one of the three cannons could hit the target accurately and cause a large range of effective damage!

Therefore, Shojiro Iida was very calm at the beginning, and even a little disdainful, thinking that the Huaxia Artillery was too unprofessional and too eager for quick success!

Because based on experience and calculations, Iida Shojiro firmly believed that the troops would advance against the artillery fire of the Moulmein Fortress. Although they would suffer certain casualties, they could greatly increase the opponent's artillery shells, and they would not lose money on this deal.

Once the Mawlamyine Fortress has no shells, it means that the tiger has no teeth, and the Guards Division and the 55th Division can stick to it without any scruples and attack head-on.

But the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny. Shojiro Iida now sadly discovered that the Moulmein Fortress was still full of stamina after more than two hours of continuous shelling, and there was no sign of fatigue from being hollowed out.

At this time, the First Brigade of the Guards Division finally advanced to the banks of the Atlan River about 10 kilometers away from the Moulmein Fortress after paying nearly a thousand casualties.

The water flow of the Atlan River is neither urgent nor slow, and the width of the river is about 55 meters. Before the Guards Division arrived, the engineering unit of the [-]th Division had already built two pontoon bridges in the river section not far from Mudong.

Compared with the bloody advance of the 55st Brigade of the Guards Division, the [-]th Division seemed a lot easier, because Mudong was originally close to the Birao Mountains, and the route could go all the way north along the Birao Mountains.

It is because of the cover of the rolling mountains that the 55th Division did not suffer continuous shelling. Not only did it arrive at the predetermined position half an hour earlier than the Guards Division, but it also built a floating bridge for the Guards Division earlier. .

After the troops crossed the Atlan River, the brigade commander Okazaki Hui immediately led the brigade headquarters to go straight to the 55th Division headquarters to meet.

As soon as he saw Teru Okazaki and the others, Tozo Ishimoto stepped forward to say hello with great excitement: "Mr. Okazaki, you have worked hard all the way! We finally joined forces victoriously!"

Although it can't be said that "a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman with tears in his eyes", Tozo Ishimoto is really happy to be able to join the friendly troops on the front line of Mawlamyine.

In particular, the 55th Division was hit hard in Yecheng before, and now it has just regained its strength. At this time, when it encounters strong support again, Shi Benyin only feels warm in his heart, and his self-confidence in finding the place has become stronger and stronger!

"Shi Ben-kun, you have worked hard too!"

Okazaki Hui nodded, his face was not very good, because according to the plan, they should cross the Atlan River directly from the upper reaches, and then continue to attack the Moulmein Fortress.

However, because the artillery fire of the Moulmein Fortress became more and more intensive and more precise, the casualties of the Guards Division became more and more serious. When they were shot, they even took away nearly a small group of devil soldiers by a giant cannon!

What made the First Brigade of the Guards Division even more desperate was that the artillery of the Moulmein Fortress was full of energy from the beginning to the end, and there was still no sign of insufficient ammunition after an hour or two of shelling.

When it comes to shells, Yang Fan is really not out of stock. Not only has a huge amount of shells been hoarded in the United States, but also several arsenals have been filled in Shandong.

The only trouble for Yang Fan is to build a large enough ammunition depot and transport these shells to the fortress reasonably!

Faced with an increasingly high hit rate and casualty rate, the 55st Brigade of the Guards Division had to temporarily change its direction of travel and instead directly joined forces with the [-]th Division in the Birao Mountains.

After saying hello, Okazaki Hui asked anxiously: "Ishimoto-kun, how is the battle going now? Have you found a tactic to conquer this fortress?"

Teru Okazaki was really in a hurry. The first order he received was to break through the Atlan River as quickly as possible, and then join forces with the 55th Division to attack the Moulmein Fortress on both sides, striving to conquer the fortress before dark.

However, after working hard for a long time now, it was just a fart, and Okazaki Hui was already furious and impatient!

Shi Benyin's face jumped, and he said quietly: "Okazaki-kun, we have carried out many saturated bombardments on the Huaxia Fortress and organized several strong attacks, but so far there is still no progress.

The defensive fortifications built by the Chinese Huben Army are too powerful, and the defensive firepower network is too dense. It is difficult for the imperial warriors to break through with their flesh and blood! "

"Nani? Doesn't that mean that the Imperial Army cannot conquer the Mawlamyine defense line in a short period of time, and the Imperial Navy cannot break through the mouth of the Salween River? Doesn't that mean that the more than 33 imperial soldiers of the 1rd Division of the Empire are doomed today? Want all the jade to be crushed on the west bank of the Salween River?"

Teru Okazaki's eyes were wide open. Although he was not too surprised by the news, he was really worried in his heart. Was it more than 1 lives?

Ishimoto Tozo showed a bit of shame, paused his head and said: "Okazaki-kun, although I don't want to admit it, this is indeed the cold reality we are facing, and we can't quickly break through this fortress in a hurry.

No matter how heavy the price is, our enemies are too cunning and too difficult! "

If he hadn't attacked Yecheng a few days ago, Ishimoto Yinzo would never have admitted his cowardice so simply, and would have launched wave after wave of tough attacks with full confidence.

However, the First Battle of Yecheng completely convinced Ishimoto Yinsan, and he fully understood what it means to be a "scholar without a reputation under his reputation", and he fully understood why the legend of Yang Fan's invincibility was circulating in the Japanese army!

"Shi Ben-kun, can you take me to the front line to observe?"

Ishimoto Yinzo is the commander of the Lieutenant General Division, and although Okazaki Teru is the commander of the Guards Division Brigade, he is only a major general. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he did not show it. He just wanted to see for himself what it was Condition!

Chapter 861

"Okay! No problem at all!"

Knowing that Okazaki Teru is unwilling to suspect that he has not tried his best, but after all, he is the imperial guard of His Majesty the Emperor, and Ishimoto Tozo can't afford to be as knowledgeable as Okazaki Teru.

This face must be given, but Ishimoto Yinzo is not a good man and a good woman. Seeing that Okazaki Hui, who has the rank of major general, is above the top, and lacks due respect for himself, he reminded him with a vicious friendship:

"However, Okazaki-kun, please pay attention to safety. Although we have controlled the surrounding area for several kilometers, it is difficult to guarantee whether there are snipers from the Chinese Huben Army hidden in the mountains!"

"Then thank you Shi Ben-kun!"

Okazaki Hui nodded, ignored Ishimoto Yinzo's threat, and immediately led several devil staff officers along a weedy mountain path under the guidance of the devil's captain Takimura Akira.

After Teru Okazaki and others walked away, Toshitoku Takeuchi, chief of staff of the 55th Division, turned his head to Teru Okazaki and said, "Mr. Ishimoto, I heard that Major General Okazaki has a lot of connections with the Imperial Family of Japan. Very much favored by His Majesty the Emperor!"

Hearing the implication of Takeuchi Toshitoku's words, Ishimoto Tozo shook his head indifferently and said: "So what? Fighting depends on real skills, not relationships!

We have already suffered a big loss, and now we must not stumble in the same place again!Since the Guards Division is the most elite division in the Empire of Japan, with the best weapons and equipment and the most powerful soldiers, should they perform better than us? "

Takeuchi Toshitoku nodded understandingly and said: "What Ishimoto-kun said is very true, we just have a chance to observe the iron-blooded demeanor of the imperial guards! I believe they will be able to decide in one battle!"

As a B-type division, the 55th Division has always been far inferior to the A-type division in terms of staffing, weaponry, and ammunition supplies, not to mention the behemoth-like Guards division.

Now that they have become friendly troops with the Guards Division on the battlefield, and after seeing the luxurious lineup of the Guards Division, it would be strange if Ishimoto Tozo and Takeuchi Juntoku didn't have a little bit of envy and hatred.

About half an hour later, Teru Okazaki marched to a hilltop in the forefront position. At this time, the Japanese 55th Division had built a large number of fortifications on the hilltop, and there was also an artillery position on the reverse slope of the mountain.

Carefully climbing behind a rock by the side of the mountain, Okazaki Hui lay on the boulder and picked up the binoculars, carefully looking towards the Huaxia camp on the opposite mountain.

I saw that the mountain and the Huaxia Fortress were about 2 kilometers apart, and there was a 1.5-kilometer-wide valley at the foot of the mountain. At this time, many imperial soldiers were attacking the foot of the Huaxia Fortress at the foot of the mountain.

Light and heavy machine guns, mountain cannons, mortars, all kinds of firepower were available. The two sides fought fiercely. The valley and the two mountains were full of gunpowder and flames, and the corpses of the imperial soldiers who fell to the ground could be seen everywhere.

It can be seen from this that before this, the 55th Division had also launched strong attacks many times and suffered a lot of casualties, but now it seems to have lost the courage to continue the strong attack, and it has become thunderous and rainy.

"Baga! This location is so good, why don't you shoot more heavy artillery? As long as you aim, you can completely blow up the main fort, fort and ring fortifications on the opposite mountain in just a few shots!

Although there are many bunkers and dark bunkers in the Huaxia position, as long as they give enough attack power, they can be broken one by one! "

After observing carefully for a while, Teru Okazaki frowned. It was obvious that the 55th Division was trying to pretend to be foreign workers, and he was not very willing to continue to pay a high price for a hard attack!

Akira Takimura, the captain of the Devils, said with a look of embarrassment: "Report to Your Excellency, the crossfire of the Huaxia position is very strong, and there are almost no dead ends!

The imperial soldiers of our 55th Division have gone through many strong attacks, and so far have not found any defensive flaws! "

After a pause, Akira Takimura continued: "In addition, the main fort on the top of the Huaxia Fortress can withstand at least a direct hit of 2000 pounds of aerial bombs, and the artillery we carry can't destroy it at all!

Besides, the Huaxia Fort will not give us the opportunity to shoot directly with heavy artillery! "

"Suoga! Hurry up and describe the Huaxia Fortress!"

Teru Okazaki frowned and exhaled, and then asked the accompanying staff to describe it and obtain first-hand battlefield information.

At this time, Akira Takimura said a little worriedly: "Your Excellency, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, please retreat first!"

"As an imperial soldier, what are you afraid of in this danger?"

The shortest distance between this place and the Huaxia Fortress Group is as much as 2 kilometers. Okazaki Teru is not worried about being sniped at all, so he can pretend to be aggressive at this time.

However, there is a good saying, pretend to be struck by lightning!

At this time, the main gun of the Huben Army Fortress was slowly moving, adjusting the new shooting elements.

Although Okazaki Hui and his party were very cautious, the military uniforms they wore were not low-key at all. The Chinese Huben Army observers in the Huben Army Fortress quickly discovered these big targets.

"The target distance is [-] meters, the azimuth is three degrees south-southeast, the wind speed is ten, and the wind direction is north-northwest!"

"Get ready! Let go!"

After adjusting the shooting elements, Wu Qingzhi, the artillery company commander, ordered to fire without saying a word.

Boom, a flash of fire flashed, and a 240mm caliber heavy gun shot out of the barrel at a muzzle velocity of 970 m/s, and rushed towards Okazaki Teru and other devils with endless breath of death.

"Ah! Not good! Your Excellency, run away! The Huaxia army is firing!"

Although the blast of the sky-shattering cannon has not been heard yet, the extremely dazzling flames cannot be concealed from people's eyes. Akira Takimura, who has been in a state of vigilance, immediately pulled Teru Okazaki from the boulder come down!

The two fell to solid ground, then rolled and scrambled to the side.
