Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

At the same time that Kuala Lumpur Airport was attacked by air, two landing ships and six transport ships, under the protection of 12 cruisers, set out from Durham Port on Sumatra Island in East India and headed for Kuala Lumpur across the strait.

This is really not intentional. After the outbreak of the World War, among the newly produced warships in southern Africa, the number of cruisers has exceeded that of destroyers. The functions of the two tend to be blurred. Cruisers can also do the work of destroyers. In long-distance escort, the role of cruisers is obviously greater than that of destroyers.

Destroyer.

Landing ships are ships specially used for sea landing operations. They are also called amphibious warfare ships. The biggest difference from transport ships is that landing ships can transport tanks.

The Southern African Marine Corps is equipped with "Nile Crocodile" amphibious tanks and 120mm amphibious self-propelled guns.

The "Nile Crocodile" has a total combat weight of 19.5 tons, a crew of four, and is equipped with a 75mm tank gun, a 7.7mm coaxial machine gun, and a 12.7mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun.

Compared with Japan's Type 97 medium tank, the combat effectiveness of the "Nile Crocodile" is only stronger.

The key point is that the "Nile Crocodile" can enter the water and has strong maneuverability. The maximum speed on the road can reach 60 kilometers per hour. Compared with the "Nile Crocodile", the fastest speed can only reach 38 kilometers. The Type 97 is as slow as a snail.

…

At nine o'clock in the morning, the fleet appeared off the coast of Kuala Lumpur without any attack during the entire process.

For Japanese warships to appear off the coast of Kuala Lumpur, they must first pass through Changi Naval Base. A week ago, the Japanese army tried to send two submarines in the hope of evading the blockade of the Changi Squadron and breaking through the Strait of Malacca.

The Japanese underestimated the anti-submarine capabilities of the Changi Squadron. The two submarines were discovered before they entered the Strait of Malacca and were subsequently sunk.

In December last year, frogmen of the Italian Navy sneaked into Alexandria and sank the "Warrior" and "Queen Elizabeth", the main forces of the British Mediterranean Fleet.

Following the lessons of the Mediterranean Fleet, all Allied military ports have strengthened their defenses. The miracle created by the Italians cannot be replicated.

As a result of the strict defense, the Japanese army did not even have a single warship in the Strait of Malacca. The landing fleet easily reached the sea off Kuala Lumpur. The "Nile crocodile" broke through the waves and rushed to the beach. The infantry lined up to board the landing craft, and the escort fleet began to attack suspected Japanese troops.

artillery bombardment of defensive positions.

At this time, air support had also arrived. The "Sea Eagle" attack aircraft had a lower bomb load than the "Flying Fortress", and its bombing accuracy was higher. It could drop bombs directly on the Japanese positions.

The Japanese defensive positions are incomparable with those of southern Africa. The number of automatic firepower is too small, the structure of the defense line is not reasonable enough, and the solidity of the machine gun positions is also much worse.

In the defensive positions of the southern African army, many machine guns are encased in reinforced concrete.

The Japanese did not have such luxury. They wanted to take all the iron pots from the homes of residents in the occupied areas back to Japan to build warships. They were reluctant to use them to build fortifications. The so-called fortifications were just built with sandbags, which was enough according to the standards of the Japanese army.

Each division of the Japanese army only has dozens of small-caliber artillery pieces, and its firepower delivery intensity is much lower than that of the southern African army.

The simple fortifications made of sandbags were vulnerable to the intensive firepower. The "Nile Crocodile" rushed onto the beach without any hindrance. The Japanese defense positions did not even have anti-tank guns. When they saw the "Nile Crocodile" rushing towards

When they landed on the beach, the defending Japanese officers and soldiers were completely desperate.

For the Japanese army, the "Nile Crocodile" is no secret. The Marine Corps in Southern Africa has been equipped with amphibious tanks ten years ago. When it comes to beach operations, amphibious tanks will definitely take the lead.

I don’t know why, but the Japanese army was never ready to deal with the armored forces in southern Africa. It couldn’t afford to build anti-tank guns, so it could always be equipped with more anti-tank rifles.

But the Japanese didn't even have anti-tank rifles.

The only heavy weapons the Japanese army could rely on on the beach were the 92 infantry cannon and the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

As mentioned above, the Type 92 heavy machine gun cannot pose a threat to armored forces at all. The armor thickness of the "Nile Crocodile" is certainly not comparable to that of the "Leopard", but it is enough to resist the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

The 92 infantry gun can be used as a direct-fire gun, but unfortunately it lacks armor-piercing ammunition and its power is still insufficient.

What's more, the "Nile Crocodile" was equipped with reactive armor before setting off again, which further enhanced its survivability.

Therefore, when the "Nile Crocodile" rushed to the beach, the commanders did not hesitate at all, not even waiting for the infantrymen on the landing craft, and couldn't wait to attack the Japanese positions.

"Rush, rush, rush over and crush the dwarfs to death. They are not as tall as our crawlers." Captain Jack, 1st Regiment, 2nd Brigade, Marine Corps, was very excited. He was a senior veteran who had worked for the Umbrella Company and participated in the Brazilian Civil War.

, received the Military Medal of Merit issued by the Brazilian government, and received the "Excellent Vehicle Commander" commendation after joining the Marine Corps.

The steel tracks of the "Nile Crocodile" easily crushed the obstacles set up by the Japanese army on the beach. These obstacles were actually made of wood. Perhaps the Japanese thought that wooden obstacles could provide sufficient delay.

If it is a southern African army, the beachhead obstacles must be made of metal. Each one weighs about one ton and looks like an oversized triangular nail. If it is placed on the beach, it will be difficult for the armored troops to move unless a professional tow truck is used.

Since there was no infantry cooperation, Jack was still very cautious. His tank company consisted of ten "Nile Crocodiles" in total, and now formed a standard tank formation to attack the Japanese positions.

Ta-ta-ta-ta

The Japanese 92 heavy machine gun was firing wildly.

The "Nile Crocodile" was not afraid and ran directly towards the machine gun position. The sandbags that provided protection for the machine gun position actually had only one layer. When the "Nile Crocodile" rushed to the machine gun position, the defenders dispersed and started fighting.

The will seems not much stronger than that of the British and Indian troops.

It was still stronger. After all, when the Japanese army approached Kuala Lumpur, the Kuala Lumpur defenders did not resist at all and directly abandoned Kuala Lumpur.

The Japanese were unwilling to give up Kuala Lumpur easily. As the battle deepened, the losses of the "Nile Crocodiles" increased.

The 92 infantry gun and 92 heavy machine gun pose no threat to the "Nile Crocodile", but the explosive packs do.:.

The Japanese went crazy and even killed their own people. The pilots who were carefully trained could carry out kamikaze attacks, and the dwarfs in the army were not bad either.

When a "Nile Crocodile" passed by a badly damaged house, a Japanese soldier holding a smoking explosive bag rushed out of the ruins and rushed directly to the bottom of the "Nile Crocodile".

This guy had a used sanitary napkin tied to his head. He was shirtless and didn't even wear pants. He only had a crotch cloth on his crotch. When he rushed over, he screamed and screamed like most southerners.

His language was incomprehensible to Africans, and his crazy and ferocious expression looked like he had just escaped from a lunatic asylum.

The tank crew of the "Nile Crocodile" was caught off guard. Two seconds later, the "Nile Crocodile" exploded violently. The 19.5-ton vehicle body was blown up one meter high. The vehicle body disintegrated in the air and turned into a shell after landing.

There was a pile of scrap metal, no need to look inside the vehicle, and none of the four tank crews survived.

This was the fourth attack on the company led by Jack. The Japanese soldiers holding explosive bags were killed by machine gunners with quick eyes three times before. This time, the dwarfs finally succeeded because the distance was too close.

Jack was very angry and ordered the "Nile Crocodiles" to stay away from the building and slow down, waiting for the accompanying infantry to catch up.

By this time, the Marines in the landing craft had already swarmed onto the beach.

In order to prevent sediment from pouring into the bore of the Nyasaland rifle and affecting the performance of the rifle, many Marines used a holster to cover the muzzle of the rifle and only tore it off after landing.

Reed, the fourth sergeant of the first company of the third battalion of the second regiment, uses an assault rifle. This rifle has been equipped with the Southern African army in 1936. It only started mass production last year. Now only junior officers and sergeants are eligible.

use.

Compared with the Bobosa equipped by the Russian army, the assault rifle has a smaller ammunition capacity of only 30 rounds, but it has a longer range and is more powerful because it can also be fired continuously and has good power at close range.

Compared with the Bobosa, the biggest advantage of the assault rifle is that it is easy to use. The curved magazine is easier to carry than the round magazine. When using it, you do not need to hold the magazine, you only need to hold the handguard in front of the magazine.

, which can ensure the accuracy of shooting to the greatest extent.

Bobosha does not require precision. The method of use is similar to that of a shotgun. You can just aim and shoot directly. It is a standard Russian style.

Because the Japanese army's counterattack on the beach was very weak, the landing craft Reed was riding in rushed onto the beach smoothly. After the box panels on both sides were opened, Reed did not leave in a hurry. He first made sure that the assault rifle was in normal condition before jumping off the landing craft.

At this time, the beach was full of Marines.

Next to the landing craft, a "Nile Crocodile" broke down and broke down. The tank crew was busy repairing it. There were a lot of tools and parts next to it. The tank commander was struggling to tighten the screws while cursing, not only the other crew members, but also himself.

.

The "Nile Crocodile" must be thoroughly inspected before going into battle. If there is a problem now, it is obviously because the preparations were not done well.

Reed could not help much. After joining the company at the beach, he immediately launched an attack on the Japanese positions.

The battle is not over yet. There are still surviving Japanese soldiers resisting on the Japanese army's position. When passing through a basement, Reed was keenly aware of movement in the basement.

"Come out, or I will throw a grenade," Reed shouted in English. Chinese was useless. All the Chinese in Kuala Lumpur had been killed by the Japanese army.

"No, these are all civilians." It seemed to be a female voice, trembling.

When a Marine next to him heard the female voice, his body immediately relaxed and he raised his hand to push the door open.

Reed's actions to stop the Marines were not clear. The presence of civilians does not mean that there are no Japanese troops. This is all experience gained with blood.

"Hold your heads with your hands, come out all," Reid continued to shout.

There was no sound coming from the basement, and Reed took out a grenade and motioned to the Marine next to him to open the door.

This time, the Marines were smart. Instead of pushing with their hands, they picked up a big stone, smashed the door open, and hid on the other side of the door while throwing it out.

Sure enough, at the same time as the door was smashed open, gunfire suddenly came out.

Immediately, four or five grenades flew in together, and the basement was filled with howls of ghosts and wolves.

The offensive grenades in Southern Africa not only caused damage but also had a stun effect. After the sound of the grenades exploding, the basement finally calmed down.

After the smoke cleared, there were a total of six Japanese corpses in the basement, and there were no women at all.

"Sir, how did you know?" The Marine whose life was saved by Reed was extremely curious. He still doesn't understand why Reed threw a grenade into the basement when he heard a woman's voice.

"I don't know," Reed said calmly. Life is the most valuable thing in war.

"It's strange, there was a woman just now." The Marine was still confused.

"Tom, this is a war, not a drill." Reed's expression was calm. He was either killing or being killed. There was nothing to worry about.

The company continued to advance and soon joined the company led by Jack.

"This city is full of Japanese, especially in the sewers. If our tanks pass by the sewers, the little Japanese will rush out of the sewers." Jack reminded Reed to pay attention to the sewers. Just now, a man holding an

Japanese soldiers packed with explosives rushed out of the sewers and blew up another "Nile Crocodile".

This made Jack feel very uncomfortable.

The destination of soldiers is the battlefield, and death is normal.

But he shouldn't die in this way. In Jack's ideal, the Japanese should line up to attack the "Nile crocodile"

"No problem, leave these rats in the sewers to us to deal with." Reed has rich experience. War means both warring parties killing each other in any way. Although the Japanese are a bit shorter, they are not stupid. A frontal attack will be ineffective.

Sometimes, the Japanese will also try every means to cause harm.

After all, it takes time for a tank to rotate the turret. If the tank operator's body is exposed outside the turret to operate the dual-purpose machine gun, it will give the Japanese an opportunity to snipe.

Although the Japanese equipment is crude, the quality of the soldiers is still good, especially the veterans who have served for many years, and their shooting skills are no less than those of the precision shooters in the southern African army.

The Marines had many methods to deal with the Japanese soldiers in the sewers.

Hiding in the sewer and not coming out, right?

It doesn't matter, if you throw a grenade in, the explosive package will usually be detonated directly.

If one is not enough, bring in a few more. Anyway, there are a lot of grenades.

The flamethrower is a powerful weapon against sewers. Everyone is equal before the fire.

With the help of the accompanying infantry, the situation did not improve much. The Japanese used all available methods to create obstacles. Entire buildings were blown down on the road. The "Nile Crocodile" made it very difficult to advance.

Throughout the day, the Marines cooperated with the "Nile Crocodile" and only advanced four blocks. After dark, they voluntarily abandoned one block, fearing that the Japanese army would use the darkness to launch a counterattack.

This order was correct. After nightfall, the Japanese emerged from every corner of the city and launched a desperate attack on the Marines.

The Marines were not in a hurry, and the flares were fired all night long. Most of Kuala Lumpur was as bright as day. The experience accumulated by the Japanese army in the past was completely useless when fighting the southern African army. Provide you with the fastest updates and free reading
