Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Needless to say, this motorized Japanese army was the 19th Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade starting from Jingmen.

As the Japanese government quickly absorbs and digests the massive war resources in the vast occupied area, Japan's industrial machinery is gradually becoming stronger, and its industrial output capacity is getting stronger and stronger.

As a strategic mobile field force, the 11th Army of the Japanese Army naturally received extra care. It had already changed from bicycles to motorcycles. The 30-[-] troops basically completed the process of motorization, and even several main divisions were initially mechanized.

Generally speaking, motorization mainly refers to the means of delivery of soldiers and equipment, while the concept of mechanization is broader, covering almost all aspects from delivery, combat, to logistics support, etc., requiring a higher degree of professionalism. And stronger penetration capabilities.

Motorization and mechanization may or may not be the same thing, but mainly vary from country to country.

For example, Soviet Russia collectively referred to motorization, and Europe and the United States collectively referred to mechanization, but the meanings are actually the same.

However, our army separates them, and those that ride on internal tire vehicles (such as cars and motorcycles) are motorized, and those that ride on internal armored tracked vehicles (such as tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry fighting vehicles) are mechanized.

It is the motorized infantry who march by car and attack on foot, mainly using individual weapons.

In most cases, the mechanized infantry is coordinated by tanks, and usually moves directly to the starting position of the impact. Depending on the terrain, tanks and armored vehicles can be used to cover, and the infantry can follow.

Mechanized infantry mainly uses vehicle-mounted weapons, such as artillery, anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles, vehicle-mounted mortars, grenade launchers, etc., while individual weapons are secondary.

At present, only 40% of the Huben Army under Yang Fan's command has achieved infantry mechanization, and the rest of the troops can only be described as motorized.

But even so, this is a very remarkable statistic, especially compared with China's domestic army, which can only be compared with millet plus rifles and airplanes plus tanks.

"How can this damn weather get so cold!"

The head of the brigade, Taniguchi Torjiro, was sitting in a Toyota limousine. Although there was no wind or snow, the temperature inside the car was still terribly cold without an air conditioner.

Three hours ago, Torajiro Taniguchi led a team from Jingmen to Xiangyang for support. He bumped all the way on the bumpy road, and he felt that his whole body was about to be shaken to pieces.

Under such circumstances, Taniguchi Torojiro's mood was naturally not much better.

The staff officer sitting next to him smiled and said: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, please be patient, we will arrive in Xiangyang in an hour at most.

This is already very fast. If it were half a year ago, it would have taken us only one day at the fastest from Jingmen to Xiangyang! "

The distance between Jingmen and Xiangyang is only 110 kilometers, and there is a road connecting them. It is reasonable to say that such a motorized army will only take more than three hours from Jingmen to Xiangyang.

But this road is not that road, and there is no way to compare it with the modern cement hardened road, it is just a smoothed dirt road.

Unless such a dirt road is maintained regularly, it will soon become potholed and the road condition is extremely poor.

What's more, this is still a time of war. The Huaxia guerrilla army will not be used to the devil's traffic lines, and come here every now and then to wreak havoc and make these dirt roads look ugly.

After a long time, the devils don't bother to manage it too carefully, as long as the basic traffic functions can be maintained, it is impossible to spend too much manpower and material resources to make these dirt roads smooth.

"Fuck!"

Hearing this, Taniguchi Torojiro was in a much better mood, and cheered up with a lot of pride: "Matsuura-kun, you are right, the Empire of Japan is rapidly becoming stronger.

In at most three to five years, the Great Japanese Empire will become the most powerful country in the world, the Yamato nation will also become the most noble nation, and we will become national heroes that will be recorded in the annals of history forever! "

"Hay!"

Matsuura Tadamichi nodded thoughtfully and said: "Your Excellency, the head of the brigade, what you said is very true. Not only will these ignorant Chinese people become slaves of the Great Japanese Empire, but even those arrogant Western powers will prostrate themselves in the Great Japanese Empire. beg for mercy at his feet!"

"Yo Xi!"

Taniguchi Kojiro raised his mustache very happily, and then said: "However, our enemies are also getting stronger. We can no longer despise them like before. We must maintain due vigilance and prudence at all times!"

"Hayi! Your Excellency, Commander, has far-reaching knowledge, just like Marshal Ishihara and Admiral Okamura, famous generals of the empire."

Tadamichi Matsuura continued to kneel and lick frantically, flattering with all his strength: "Well, it is a great fortune for the Great Japanese Empire to have such a famous military strategist like you. I firmly believe that under your leadership, the final victory of this world war will definitely belong to the great Yamato nation!".

"Where! Where! I am just a major general now, how can I compare with Marshal Ishihara and General Okamura!"

Toranojiro Taniguchi waved his hand modestly, and then said seriously: "This time we go to Xiangyang to face the mighty Chinese Huben Army, this damn Chinese army has already caused the Great Japanese Empire to suffer a lot! "

Matsuura Tadamichi said indifferently: "The Huben army is indeed a very powerful opponent, but this time they only dispatched the strength of two armies, and they are alone in the defense area of ​​our 11th army.

Now that they are separated by the dangerous Han River, they want to cross the river and fight to conquer the strong city of Xiangyang. Without air supremacy, that is simply wishful thinking.

If they don't come, it's fine, if they want to capture Xiangyang, then Xiangyang City will definitely become their grave! ..."

Boom boom boom!

Sure enough, it was pretending to be a lightning strike. Before Matsuura Tadao finished speaking, bursts of extremely violent explosions continued to explode in his ears.

Through the car window glass, there were streaks of dazzling flames flashing in the distance, which almost blinded Matsuura Tadmichi's dog eyes!

"Baga! Are the leading troops in front eating shit? I have repeatedly told them to be careful and expand the search area. Why did they still fall into the ambush circle of the Huaxia guerrillas?"

Seeing this movement, Taniguchi Tororujiro frowned, but he was not flustered in his heart. His first reaction was that he was harassed and attacked by a small group of Chinese troops, rather than suffering annihilation.

Because it is far away from Wuhan, one of the Japanese base camps in China, and the surrounding counties and cities are under the control of the Japanese army, the "security situation" is still acceptable.

Although there is a not weak Chinese guerrilla in the nearby Dahong mountain area.But that is also relatively speaking, at most it is to harass various strongholds at ordinary times, and does not have the strength to attack the county, let alone actively attack seven or eight thousand independent mixed brigades.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, I'm afraid things are not that simple?"

However, at this moment, Matsuura Tadao smelled an extremely dangerous atmosphere, and he frowned and said, "Maybe we encountered a well-planned ambush!"

Chapter 1395 Really Scared

"All gun positions are available, hit me hard, don't stop!"

Boom boom boom!

The artillerymen of the Huaxia Huben Army, who had already adjusted to shoot at Zhuyuan, took the lead and dealt a series of explosion damage. More than 20 mortars of large and small calibers fired at full firepower without money, and blasted at the vanguard of the devils.

As soon as the shells fell like a torrential rain, the devils were blown up all at once, transporting cars.Motorcycles and armored vehicles were hit one after another, blasting out flaming fireballs.

I don't know how many ghost soldiers were blown to pieces before they recovered their senses, turning into flaming firemen one by one. The surviving ghost soldiers were scared out of their wits and jumped out of the car.

"Nani? What's going on here? How could there be an organized Chinese army here?"

Hearing the sound of frying beans, Taniguchi Torojiro's heart suddenly jumped. He is not a fool, and he immediately understood what was going on in front of him.

Because from the sound of cannons and explosions that kept ringing in my ears, I could easily tell that the one who ambushed me was definitely not a local guerrilla, but a regular army with strong firepower.

But even so, Taniguchi Torojiro still didn't have much panic, he just thought that it was the National Army troops who came to stop him from reinforcing Xiangyang, and he didn't think about anything worse.

Before that, Taniguchi Tororo already knew that the Huaxia Huben Army had entered the northwestern Hubei region, and had conquered Fancheng, which is across the river from Xiangyang, yesterday afternoon.

But the Hanshui River near Xiangyang is not an ordinary small river. The river is a full one or two kilometers wide, and even the narrowest point in the vicinity is five to six hundred meters wide. It is definitely an insurmountable natural danger.

Therefore, Taniguchi Torajiro never imagined that the Huben army would be able to build a pontoon bridge in the narrow upstream area overnight, and could march nearly [-] kilometers overnight to set up an ambush on the road from Jingmen to Xiangyang.

In Taniguchi Tororujiro's subconscious mind, at most, the beggar troops from the Sixth War Zone came out of the mountains, wishing to launch an ambush to cooperate with the Huben Army's attack on Xiangyang,

In addition, the road leading to Xiangyang is located in a plain area, with forests, grasslands and crop fields on both sides, and there is no dangerous terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In other words, there is actually no area suitable for ambushes on this highway.

On the contrary, it is only [-] to [-] kilometers away from Xiangyang City, and the Xiangyang defenders can come for reinforcements within more than an hour, so even if a division of the national army comes to block it, it can only kill itself.

"Baga, Lu, these hateful army of beggars dare to intercept the Japanese Imperial Army! Die, die!"

Thinking of this, Taniguchi Tororujiro became full of courage in an instant, and he didn't panic at all. Instead, he wanted to bite back and eat these Chinese troops who came to make troubles to vent his hatred.

Immediately afterwards, Torojiro Taniguchi shouted at a communication staff officer in the front row with a murderous look: "Pass my order, immediately deploy the formation and launch a counterattack on the spot, and find out the exact number of enemy troops as soon as possible!"

"Hay!"

The devil's communications staff quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and began to convey orders.

Boom boom boom!

However, at this moment, there were bursts of violent gunfire and explosions almost simultaneously from behind and from the direction of the two wings. This time, it was no longer aimed at the vanguard in front, but at the entire Japanese army several kilometers long. .

Moreover, the artillery used is no longer just a small number of mortars, but hundreds of artillery of various calibers.

The dense explosions instantly covered all the sounds, and the continuously exploding metal fragments and overpressure shock waves formed death harvesters,

Even, many shells fell directly on the ground not far from Taniguchi Tororujiro.

The metal fragments that shot out from all directions slammed into the devil's transport vehicle, piercing through the thin canvas, causing a large number of devil soldiers to die and injuring them, and creating an extremely shocking commotion.

"Baga! What's going on? How can the Chinese army have so many artillery?"

The deafening explosions exploded in my ears, like thunderbolts falling from the sky, which made people feel inexplicable panic and fear in the depths of their souls. Taniguchi Torojiro's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer keep calm.

The style of painting in front of him is completely different from what Taniguchi Tororujiro imagined, and it does not conform to the conventional firepower configuration of the Chinese army.

And although I was sitting in a high-end car, it was not a thick-skinned heavy tank. If it was shot, it would definitely be taken away by a wave.

Thinking of this, Taniguchi Torojiro is really scared now!

He is also a brigade commander at any rate, with a lot of future and good life, he doesn't want to die like this!

At this time, Matsuura Tadao also heard the problem, his complexion suddenly became as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said with a deep panic: "Your Excellency, I am afraid that we are in big trouble, and there is at least one attacking us." The strength of the army, otherwise there would not be such a powerful firepower.

Obviously, so many Chinese troops are planning to ambush here, their intention is not just to block and intercept, I am afraid they want to encircle and annihilate us here! "

"They actually want to fight a war of encirclement and annihilation here, what do these idiots think?"

Taniguchi Torajiro panicked, but at this moment, how could he admit his cowardice, and quickly shouted at the communication staff officer: "Hurry up and ask for assistance from Xiangyang City, and ask for air support like Wuhan Command!

These ignorant and arrogant Chinese troops must make them pay an unbearable heavy price today, and they will never return! "

……

"Little devil, don't let me die!"

"kill!"

"Brothers, go!"

Just when Taniguchi Tororujiro didn't fully understand the situation, and when the artillery of the Huben Army began to spare no effort to cover the devil's troops with firepower, other combat units began to attack.

The tanks and armored vehicles hidden on both sides of the road began to remove their camouflage, and started to move quickly, like tigers descending from the mountain, killing the devil troops.

The infantry stood up from their hiding places one after another, followed closely behind the tanks and armored vehicles to narrow the encirclement, and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops in the center.

Buzzing, the helicopter brigade hidden in the distant field also started to move at this time, flying towards the stubbornly resisting Japanese army with fierce murderous intent.

Da da da!

Soon these extremely fast helicopters flew into the middle of the battle circle, and a pair of aviation machine guns sprayed out long tongues of flame, and strings of caliber ammunition rained down.

For a while, those flying in the sky and running on the ground were all firing at full power, using all their strength and means to annihilate the enemy's vital forces.

Chapter 1396 Is there really no chance?

"Baga! Get out of the car quickly! Enter the battle immediately!"

"Quick, aim and hit hard!"

"Hurry up, shoot!"

"Quick, aim at the Huaxia helicopter!"

On both sides of the road is a flat plain, unlike primitive jungles or mountain trails, with complex and dangerous terrain, it is impossible to hide thousands of troops under the nose of the enemy, let alone a large number of tanks, Armored vehicles too.

Therefore, the Huben army could only stay away from the road and hide in the woodland and fields hundreds of meters away.

This is also thanks to the heavy snow that is falling, which has well covered the whereabouts of the Huben Army, otherwise it would be difficult for them to deal with the traces of the tanks and armored vehicles.

As for "the Chinese army is hidden in the grass by the side of the road, and when the devil troops pass by, they are all blind to see the Chinese ambush soldiers who are close at hand", this kind of picture that often appears in movies and TV shows does not exist in reality.

At least in this kind of open terrain, it is absolutely impossible to exist under the condition of the sky is already bright.

It is precisely because the ambush point is separated from the road by a certain distance, this also gives the devil troops a certain space to expand their formation for defense.

After encountering a head-on attack, the ghost soldiers were not slow to react. They jumped out of the car as soon as possible, and then under the command of commanders at all levels, they quickly built defensive positions and set up mortar positions. ,

The more than 30 tanks and chariots entered the battle immediately, becoming the biggest capital of the devil's army to resist.

But it's a pity that they are facing the mechanized troops of the Huben Army, not some motorized troops.

Although this expedition brought out medium-sized tanks and infantry fighting vehicles with strong mobility, not only did they not bring heavy tiger tanks, nor did they bring enough tanks and chariots, but to a certain extent, infantry and tanks had to be used in coordinated operations. .

But in the face of the Devil's small number of Type [-] medium tanks, Type [-] light tanks, thin-skinned armored vehicles, and Devil infantry, they still have enough crushing advantages.

The battle between the two sides was fierce, and the Tigers and Cardinals continued to compress the encirclement, waiting for the shelling to end before launching the final battle of annihilation against the Japanese army!

"Baga, how could there be tanks and helicopters? Could it be that the Chinese tiger army ambushed us? How is this possible? Didn't they rest near Fancheng last night?"

After the battle started, the surrounding area became chaotic, and Taniguchi Torajiro had no choice but to stay in the car waiting to die, so he boldly got out of the car to check the scene.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the light was already very bright. Taniguchi Torojiro could clearly see the surrounding situation without a telescope.

However, if you don't see it, you don't know it. When you see it, you are startled. At this time, Taniguchi Torojiro fully understood the specific situation.

I saw thick smoke billowing from the rear of the No. [-] medium tanks, and they rushed out from both sides in a menacing manner. On the way, the black barrels of the guns were still flashing with fire, sending out bursts of shock. The sky roared.
