Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Easy probing attacks turned into tragic annihilation battles, which had happened several times in the battles between the Japanese army and southern African troops.

The key point is that the senior generals of the Japanese army will not regard this as a lesson. If the Japanese army takes the initiative to attack next, this situation will definitely continue to happen and no one can change it.

There was no way, because of the shortage of resources, senior Japanese military officers who were accustomed to saving money for a long time did not understand how a wealthy army like southern Africa could fight.

Under normal circumstances, after repelling the first attack, the southern African army should continue to wait and wait for the Japanese army to launch a second attack.

Ford didn't want to delay.

If the enemy is the German army, then Ford will be more cautious. What do the Japanese have to worry about?

It is not equipment but people that determines the outcome of a war. This is essentially true.

But if the gap in weapons and equipment is too great to a certain extent, the role of people will be reduced infinitely...

What's more, the courage of the officers and soldiers in southern Africa is no less than that of the Japanese.:.

As mentioned earlier, Japan’s various atrocities on the battlefield in East Asia are well known to everyone through repeated reports in the Southern African media.

More than half of the Southern African army is of Chinese origin. When Japan first launched the war three years ago, there were Chinese generals in the Southern African army who jointly wrote a bloody letter asking for war. Because the Southern African federal government never joined the war, many Southern African soldiers even retired directly.

Go to the Far East to participate in the war as a "volunteer".

Therefore, in the Southern African Army, the fighting will of the officers and soldiers is no less than that of the Japanese army. They not only fight for honor, but also have more hatred against their country and family.

Otani Dagui obviously did not expect the outcome of the entire attacking force being wiped out.

What made Otani Dagui even more unexpected was that the Southern African army did not wait and wait, but immediately took the initiative to attack after neatly wiping out the attacking troops.

Now it is finally the turn of the Southern African troops to show the Japanese what "infantry-tank coordination" means.

At the end of last year, Southern Africa adjusted the organization of its armored forces. The armored regiments configured in ordinary infantry divisions consisted of a total of 95 tanks, including 12 "Tiger" tanks and 83 "Leopard" tanks, and were equipped with a certain number of armored vehicles.

.

The infantry division in Southern Africa is composed of five regiments, two infantry regiments and one armored regiment, plus an artillery regiment and an anti-aircraft artillery regiment, with a total strength of 20,000.

Different from the Japanese attack, before the tanks of the 19th Division attacked, the artillery units shelled the Japanese positions as usual. The firepower advantage that Rock had been pursuing for decades was finally fully demonstrated.

The divisional artillery units in Southern Africa not only have a large number of heavy artillery, but also multiple rocket launchers that are easy to move and can deliver more powerful instantaneous firepower.

According to regulations, the number of heavy artillery equipped by ordinary infantry divisions in southern Africa is more than 70.

When the 19th Division entered the war, An Qi added an artillery battalion equipped with self-propelled artillery to the 19th Division, which further improved the 19th Division's firepower strike capability.

The 19th Division responded very quickly. Shortly after Ford issued the order, the whistling sound of artillery shells was heard in the sky, and then the Japanese position was submerged in the smoke of the artillery shell explosion.

At this time, the "Tiger" and "Leopard" types filed out of the position and set up an attack formation in front of the position. After the infantry accompanying the tank attack had gathered, they began to attack the Japanese position.

The position chosen by the 19th Division was on a hillside. When the Japanese attacked just now, the Japanese 97 tanks could not even climb up the hillside.

At this time, the 19th Division was attacking, and the tank crew had to deliberately control the speed to allow the infantry to keep up.

The "Leopard" tank, with a total combat weight of 40 tons, is nearly 3 meters in height, 3.7 meters in width, has a frontal armor thickness of 100 mm, and is equipped with an 88 mm tank gun.

This is the data of the "Leopard" before the outbreak of the World War. Tanks from European countries cannot achieve similar performance now.

After the outbreak of the World War, engineers in southern Africa were worried about the insufficient defense of the "Leopard", so they added reactive armor to the "Leopard", taking the protection to a higher level. Some "Leopard" tanks have been replaced with the latest armor.

For a 90mm tank gun, a stronger shield must be matched with a sharper spear.

Various advanced technologies were superimposed together, and the "Leopard" that appeared on the battlefield in East Asia became a war monster that the Japanese army could not defeat at all.

The fastest speed of the "Leopard" on the road can reach 50 kilometers, and the fastest speed off-road is about 20 kilometers, so the "Leopard" tank driver must control the speed so that the infantry can keep up.

The Japanese army, suffering under artillery fire, was completely unable to stop the "Leopard"'s advance.

The Japanese army will also conduct fire strikes before the battle starts to clear obstacles for the attacking troops.

However, the firepower strikes of the Japanese army are not the same thing as the firepower strikes of the southern African army. The intensity is far different. Even if the Japanese artillery is exhausted, a small number of 92 infantry guns cannot produce the effect of a heavy firepower cluster.

What's more, the 42nd Regiment had no idea of ​​building a defensive position before the battle began. The few surviving machine gun positions would be immediately destroyed by the 88mm tank gun of the "Leopard" tank as long as they dared to fire.

As soon as it started, there were already signs of the end.

This was probably the shortest battle since the outbreak of the Far East War.

In the past, the Japanese army was said to be invincible, and its failures were few and far between.

It is unique that it failed so miserably.

In the past, they were all opponents of the Japanese army, but they quickly collapsed under the attack of the Japanese army.

Now it is finally the Japanese's turn to taste the pain of complete collapse.

When the 19th Division took the initiative, Otani Dagui still tried to organize a defense.

Soon Otani Daiki discovered that the light infantry, equipped only with light weapons, was unable to fight against the 19th Division with heavy tanks.

No, according to Japanese military standards, the "Leopard" tank should be considered a super-heavy tank.

Since the Japanese opponents were rarely equipped with tanks in the past, the 42nd Infantry Regiment did not even have the most basic anti-tank guns.

Don't even think about anti-tank guns. There is not a single anti-tank gun in Japan.

So when facing the attack of the 19th Division, the 42nd Company suffered a complete tragedy.

When the "Leopard" tanks of the 19th Division rushed into the Japanese position, the only thing the Japanese soldiers could rely on was the Type 38 rifle in their hands.

Not to mention the 100mm homogeneous armor, the Type 38 rifle cannot even penetrate the "Leopard" type reactive armor.

The only thing that can pose a threat to the "Leopard" is grenades. Several grenades must be put together to make cluster grenades to possibly cause damage to the "Leopard".

But if you want to tie the grenades together, you have to use wooden-handled grenades. The Japanese army is equipped with oval-shaped grenades, which are not powerful enough to explode the tracks.

What's more, the infantry accompanying the "Leopard" attack did not give the Japanese soldiers a chance to get close to the Panther.

Like the East Indian troops fighting on Diaomen Island, the Southern African troops also took no prisoners when fighting the Japanese.

It sounds like it would be nice to give him a break, at least to avoid endless torture.

But in fact, only the dead enemy is the best enemy. A hundred dwarfs digging trenches cannot be as efficient as an excavator. The excavator does not eat but only drinks oil.

Oil

In Japan, oil is definitely more valuable than people.

But for southern Africa, oil is just like tap water. When you dig a well in the ground, it starts to leak out. For tap water, you need to lay pipes and install faucets. Oil in the Persian Gulf is cheaper than water.

The first one to rush into the Japanese position was the No. 8527 "Leopard" command tank driven by Kong Xin, commander of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 115th Armored Regiment.

The armored companies in Southern Africa are organized into three platoons, each with three tanks, plus the company commander's command tank, a total of ten tanks.

The "Leopard" tank driven by Kong Xin has just been replaced with a brand-new engine and is in the best condition ever.

"The Japanese machine gun position was found at 9 o'clock," the co-pilot who also served as an observer promptly reminded him.

"Kill it!" Kong Xin sat in the turret and observed through the periscope, with the gunner and loader beside him.

This is a Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun, a copy of the French Hotchkiss heavy machine gun. Although the 7.7mm caliber is powerful, it is scratchy when shooting in the "Leopard" style.

The Japanese machine gunners were firing desperately. A machine gunner, a loader, and an officer carrying a Japanese saber actually squeezed in seven people.

boom

The 88mm tank gun was so powerful that the Type 92 heavy machine gun was blown two meters high and was reduced to parts when it landed.

All seven people in the position were dead, and the blood and flesh flying everywhere looked like a slaughter scene. The command knife of the Japanese officer was quite intact, and it would probably become a trophy for some lucky soldier.

As for trophies, the only expectation of southern African officers and soldiers is Japanese sabers.

This is not to say how good the Japanese saber is, but it is just that it still has some commemorative significance. The most sought-after trophy on the European battlefield is the Luger pistol equipped by the German army. The officers and soldiers in Southern Africa will never snatch the Japanese bastard box.

.

You'd have to be crazy to do that.

There are pistols in Southern Africa that have better performance, better appearance, and are easier to use. Compared with the products in Southern Africa, most of Japan’s so-called industrial products are industrial waste.

"Hey, hey, who can do me a favor? Pick up that saber for five rands!" Kong Xin hopes to get his first trophy, so that when Kong Xin gets old, he can hang out with his grandson by the fireplace.

To show off, how many Japs my grandpa killed with this knife.

"Hahaha, wait, if there is another one, I will give it to you." Chen Kai, the commander of Company A who accompanied the 8527 attack, picked up the saber and hung it on his belt, overjoyed.

This saber looks very good. The handle is actually inlaid with a gemstone, and the scabbard is embroidered with a string of nondescript characters in gold thread, which is probably the name or surname of the original owner.

Even though the Japanese army has been tyrannical in East Asia for many years, the lives of civilians in Japan have not improved much. Most of these swords are owned by children of a certain noble family.

This is better and more memorable.

"Please help me." The owner of the saber was not completely dead yet. One of his arms was blown off, and the wound was bloody and exposed with bone stubble. There was a big hole in his abdomen that was bleeding protrudingly. One of his legs was blown off, and it was leaning on the other half.

One leg was blown off below the knee and flew to an unknown place.

This person spoke Chinese, which Chen Kai could understand.

But it was precisely because he could speak Chinese that made Chen Kai even more angry.

"What can I help you with? You are hopeless." Chen Kai pulled the muzzle of Nyasaland's rifle a few times. If there was a tortoise box, then he would give the tortoise box to Kong Xin.

for free!

The relationship between comrades is so strong that talking about money hurts the relationship.

"Give me a shot, give me a good time." The Japanese officer also knew that he was hopeless and just wanted to be happy.

"Don't think about it, you're not worth wasting a bullet!" Chen Kai sneered. Everyone in the Fifth Division has been blacklisted in the Southern African Army and does not need to be tried.

"I have this." The Japanese officer opened his hand, and in his hand was a watch made in Itno.

He can still afford a watch produced by Iteno, which confirms that he is a rich man.

"Your watch is not good. You don't even have a diamond. You give it away and no one wants it." Chen Kai also has a strong heart. He is actually in the mood to do business on the battlefield where blood and flesh are everywhere.

"Sir, you don't want me but I want it." Big Ivan, a new immigrant from the Caucasus, doesn't mind. There are also poor people in southern Africa, especially the new immigrants who immigrated to southern Africa in recent years.

Nowadays, when immigrating to southern Africa, the requirements for the waiting period are becoming more and more strict.

In the past, this regulation was basically not strictly enforced, and many Chinese could successfully obtain Southern African citizenship in just over a year after arriving in Nyasaland.

Probably since the Great Depression, southern Africa has become more and more strict in implementing the waiting period for immigrants, especially immigrants from Europe and the United States. Five years of immigration prison is not a day.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as joining the military, and the waiting period will be shortened accordingly.

If you can be awarded a medal for meritorious service, you can immediately become a true southern African.

Therefore, the proportion of new immigrants joining the military is exceptionally high.

"It's yours." Chen Kai said generously. It's no longer the last world war, and things like watches are not rare.

"Give me a shot," the officer who was already in a dying state was still pleading.

"I don't understand what you said." Big Ivan didn't lie, he really didn't understand.

Both of them had gained something, and happily chased 8527, not caring about the increasingly faint pleading.

At this time, more and more "Leopard" tanks rushed into the Japanese positions.

The Japanese did not have much tenacity in their fighting will. Facing the powerful war monster, many desperate Japanese soldiers simply laid down their weapons and surrendered.

The driver of Kong Xin's crew did not seem to see the Japanese soldiers who had knelt down to surrender, and drove 8527 directly over the Japanese soldiers' bodies.

You can’t say you didn’t see it, because while it was rolling over, the co-pilot on the other side clearly saw a clear adjustment in the direction of 8527, and then the track was facing the Japanese soldiers.

"You did it on purpose, right?" The co-pilot frowned slightly. He was of British descent and had no deep-seated hatred for the Japanese.

"What did you say?" The driver was still pretending to be stupid.

"I said you did it on purpose," the co-pilot repeated.

"No, their surrender posture is not standard. The weapons are beside them, and there is still a possibility of resistance!" The driver emphasized that as an observer, you should not focus on these details, you bastard. Provide you with the fastest
