Age of Conquest Reborn

Takeo Kono, the captain of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, listened carefully. The orderly came in sleepily and interrupted him, "Sir, squadron leader, are you looking for me?"

Captain Hao Ye squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "Baga! Sleeping like a dead pig, without the spirit of an imperial soldier? Xiaolin, did you hear any unusual noises?"

Serviceman Xiao Lin glanced at the squadron leader in confusion and replied: "Sir, squadron leader, I only felt the ground shaking, but didn't hear any sound?"

Captain Haoye was so angry that he gave the pig-like stupid orderly a hard slap. Then, he grabbed the phone and went directly to the forward observation post. "I am the squadron leader, Captain Haoye. What did you find out?"

The observation post's answer was the same as that of the orderly Xiao Lin. On the opposite side of the Guangzhou direction, in the dark night, I could not see anything. I could just feel the ground shaking, and it was mixed with the roar of the engine. I asked several posts, and the answer was the same.

With the same answer, Captain Haoye put down the phone and muttered in his head, "According to the report from the outpost, similar situations have been found in an area more than 20 kilometers wide in the front. What are the Chinese people going to do?"

Facing the New Territories of Hong Kong and the direction of Guangzhou, Battelle wore headphones and sat in an armored command vehicle, constantly asking about the progress of each brigade. This was also one of his tactics. All assault armored units and tanks did not drive.

Lamp, advancing slowly and at a constant speed, with the Japanese army's research and emphasis on armored forces, they would never have imagined that it would be an armored assault group composed of more than a thousand tanks.om

Moreover, the Japanese have little experience in anti-armor assault. This is easy to understand. During World War II, the Japanese Army's combat areas were mainly in Southeast Asia and East Asia. The opponents they faced were not even organic tank units.

Ordinary soldiers did not even have the chance to see tanks. Therefore, the Japanese Army rarely included formalized armored units. It only formed a few tank brigades and regiments, and did not use armored units on a large scale.

precedent!

What follows is that the Japanese army's anti-armor experience and equipment are seriously insufficient, or even non-existent, as the Art of War says. "What kind of opponent is what kind of fighting method." Asian teams do not have tanks.

The Japanese Empire's army does not need to improve the formation of armored forces to a certain level like the European army.

This was a blind spot for the Japanese army, and Battelle made full use of this. Sure enough, the four tank brigades advanced for more than ten kilometers, but there was still no reaction from the Japanese defense forces on the opposite side. Battelle pushed open the top cover of the armored command vehicle and explored

He stretched out half of his body, held a telescope, and carefully observed the movements of the Japanese army's position opposite. In the dark night, the Japanese army's position was deathly silent.

The guard staff was frightened and hurriedly pulled on Battle's lapel, "Commander, take cover quickly, it's dangerous!"

Battelle said without looking back: "What are you afraid of? There are more than a thousand tanks in front of me, and the Japanese army has not responded yet. If I shoot my bullet, the Japanese have not built it yet!"

After observing for a few minutes, Battelle retracted his body and looked at the nervous guard staff member who was sweating on his face. Battelle grinned and said: "Don't worry, I was fifteen years old, and I was with the division commander in the ice and snow in the northeast, in the primeval forest.

, fought with the Japanese Kwantung Army for more than two years, and I know very well what the Japanese are doing!"

After calculating the time, Battelle picked up the microphone and said, "Order that the first brigade and the third brigade of the first assault wave adopt a wedge assault formation and break through the first Japanese position as quickly as possible. According to the scheduled plan,

Continue to attack in depth, cover the infantry, and attack the Japanese army’s second position!”

In the dark night, the roar of tank engines suddenly became louder. At the same time, more than 1,300 tanks turned on their headlights at the same time. The bright lights, like sharp swords, split the night sky and illuminated the Japanese positions.

It was as bright as day and dazzled the eyes of the Japanese soldiers.

The tank suddenly accelerated, and the tracks rolled up dust all over the sky. The roar of the engine suddenly became louder in the night, and steel monsters appeared in front of the Japanese soldiers in an instant.

In the pitch-black night, countless lights suddenly lit up. The Japanese soldiers listened suspiciously to the dull roar of engines and felt the earth trembling beneath them. All they saw was a vast expanse of white in front of them, rapid passwords, and panic.

The sound of running footsteps and the "clatter" of pulling gun bolts plunged the Japanese army's first defensive position into chaos.

In Captain Haoye's shelter, the phone rang rapidly. Captain Haoye grabbed the phone and said, "Squadron leader, it's not good. Tanks, countless tanks, the Chinese army is launching a surprise attack on our front-line positions!"

Captain Haoye was agitated, and he understood everything. The reason for the trembling of the earth was the tanks of the Chinese army. They took advantage of the night and touched them. The war broke out, and it was no longer something that he, a small captain, could control.

, Captain Hirano made a direct call to the commander of the regiment, Colonel Takeshita.

The assault of the 1st and 3rd brigades of tanks of the ** Division was so rapid that the Japanese troops on the first defensive position had just entered the position when the rolling torrent of steel, mixed with dust and smoke, and with an earth-shattering roar, had already

Throwing themselves in front of them, the Japanese army's counterattack was extremely weak and futile. The bullets hitting the armor could only add a few sparks to the night!

The tracks ruthlessly crushed the bodies of the Japanese soldiers. The beast-like descendants of the Yamato nation turned into puddles of flesh under the steel tracks. The "click" sound of crushing bones was the sound of the Japanese soldiers dying.

Screams, mixed with weak and messy gunshots, intertwined in the night.

Of course, the tank soldiers sitting inside the tank could not hear this, but the soldiers from the 1st and 4th brigades of the directly affiliated corps, the 2nd brigade, 10th brigade and 11th brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps, who were following behind, could not hear this.

Hearing this so vividly, I couldn’t help but feel my teeth ache, and secretly exclaimed, “Oh my God, these guys who drive tanks are so cunning, they used the tank as a steamroller!”

Under the rapid attack, in less than thirty minutes, the Japanese army's first defensive position was declared to have been breached. Two breaches with a width of about three kilometers suddenly appeared in front of the attacking infantry troops. Five main field brigade troops

, without making the slightest pause, along the breach, the tide poured in, and under the cover of the two tank brigades, rushed towards the Japanese army's second position.

Liu Hongzhang, commander of the 1st Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, under the protection of more than a dozen guards, jumped over the Japanese trenches in a few steps, looked left and right, cursed, and said to the Chief of Staff: "Damn, this is

The battle was not going well, the tanks crushed the little Japs into a pulp, so we, more than 16,000 people, are not idle!"

Then, the order was given: "Chief of Staff, order the troops to follow the tanks. With these big guys as cover, our casualties can be reduced a lot. Tell the four regiment commanders that the regiment commander is trying to be a hero and does not cooperate with the tanks. There will be casualties."

It's too big. After the battle, I will knock off his head. We took advantage of the surprise in the first position. Next, we will have to show the truth to our men!"

Troops from two tank brigades and five infantry brigades were like a torrent, hiding the first position of the Japanese army. The two tank brigades of the second assault wave and the troops from the five brigades of the Guangzhou Garrison District had also followed up. At this time,

The battlefield is no longer as silent as before. Fierce gunshots are everywhere, with flames popping up from time to time, accompanied by dull explosions.

That was the follow-up troops. After clearing the first position according to the scheduled plan, the remaining Japanese troops woke up from the initial panic and panic and began a desperate counterattack, because the ** division first attacked

Bo's troops did not launch an attack, and the Japanese troops on the first line suffered little losses.

The Japanese soldiers emerged from the secret passages and shelters and launched a counterattack against the 1st and 3rd tank brigades, as well as the infantry units of the two brigades in the Guangzhou Garrison Area. Just as Tang Qiuli had worried, the Japanese soldiers discovered that both

Whether it is light and heavy machine guns or grenade launchers, hitting the roaring and spitting flames of the tank will not cause any harm to the enemy at all.

On the contrary, the Japanese army, which exposed the location of its firepower point, was blown to pieces by low-trajectory tank shells.

He jumped out howling and rushed towards the tank. At this time, Battle's tactics worked wonders.

Although the infantrymen of the Guangzhou Garrison Area accompanying the tanks had not experienced large-scale battles, there were more than forty people in a platoon, working with one tank, preparing to attack the Japanese division tanks. The Japanese soldiers who died together were killed before they could even rush to the tanks.

A dense rain of bullets cut holes in the sieve, and the grenade on his body exploded, blowing a Japanese soldier who was famous for being brave and fearless of death into a rain of blood all over the sky!

Battle parked the armored command vehicle on a slightly higher hillside. From here, he could observe the first position and the entire battle process. On the left and right of his command vehicle, a company of tanks was guarding him.

Battle leaned out and observed the situation on the battlefield. Stray bullets passed over his head from time to time, making a "chirping" scream. He had long been accustomed to all this. On the European battlefield, the intensity of firepower was several times higher than it is now.

With a "bang" sound, a stray bullet hit the armor baffle in front of him. The deformed warhead rolled a few times and fell in front of his eyes.

Battelle didn't even move his eyes, but his guard staff was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat and desperately stood in front of him. Battelle frowned, tilted his head, and continued to observe the battlefield situation. As he looked, he discovered a problem.
