Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Masaharu Honma is not stupid. The Allies have strong sea and air superiority. Masaharu Honma can only abandon the coastline and retreat to the inland areas to fight the Allies.

Not only can this effectively reduce the assistance the Allies receive from the sea, but the deep and complex terrain of Luzon Island will impose maximum restrictions on the Allied tank forces. Masaharu Honma does not believe that the Japanese army is technically and tactically worse than the Allies.

How much? The key is that the disadvantages in weapons and equipment cannot be compensated for.

During the Battle of the Philippines, the Japanese army was still able to mobilize armored units to participate in the battle. At that time, the equipment levels of the Japanese army, the British army and the US military were almost at the same level.

This also gave the Japanese the illusion that the equipment level of the southern African army was similar to that of the British and American troops.

Now Masaharu Honma finally understands what weapons generation difference is. No matter how tenacious the Japanese soldiers' fighting will is, they can't fight against the armored forces in southern Africa. Not to mention the "Tiger", "Leopard" and "Clouded Leopard" tanks. For the Japanese army

There is no solution. In terms of light weapons, there is also a huge gap between the Japanese army and the Allied forces.

The individual weapons of the Japanese soldiers were rifles and bayonets. The supply of grenades was limited and they could not be used open.

The Allied forces are now generally equipped with semi-automatic rifles. As long as you can hold them, you can take as many grenades as you want. Many soldiers are also equipped with additional self-defense pistols. This means that the Japanese army cannot take any advantage in close combat. Pistols are far better than rifles in close combat.

use..

Relatively speaking, the 6th Division's battle was quite satisfactory. It didn't take any advantage but it didn't suffer either.

The most dangerous situation is the Veramacha Infantry Regiment under the 44th Division in Southern Africa. This regiment was surrounded by the Japanese army in Calamba, about 50 kilometers away from Manila, and was facing successive crazy attacks by the Japanese army.

"We have just repelled an attack by the Japanese army. The first and third battalions have successfully merged and are establishing an arc defensive position. The second battalion is being besieged by the Japanese army. Our artillery shells are about to be used up and bullets have begun to be used sparingly. Please hurry up

Provide airdrop assistance to us, otherwise we will face greater difficulties after nightfall." Eric, the leader of the Veramacha Infantry Regiment, kept asking for help. Because his troops were chasing the Japanese army, they ran into the Japanese encirclement and are now very

Danger.

It is not good for the troops to be equipped with too many automatic and semi-automatic weapons. Bullets will be consumed too quickly and the dependence on logistics will be high.

The Nyasaland rifle in southern Africa has a magazine capacity of ten bullets, which can be emptied by soldiers in two seconds.

This is why the southern African army needs to equip more cars. Soldiers can carry a maximum of 200 rounds of rifle ammunition during combat. A sergeant major equipped with an assault rifle can carry 300 rounds. However, assault rifle bullets are consumed faster, often in one round.

After one battle, all the bullets of a base were used up.

The Southern African military advocates that problems that can be solved with weapons and equipment will never use human sea tactics. When officers encounter stubborn resistance from the enemy during combat, they are accustomed to calling for artillery support, so the artillery shells are consumed very quickly, forcing them to

The firing speed of artillery shells depends on the tacit understanding of the artillery team. Often, after a two-hour battle, the artillery shells carried can be consumed. When the bullets and shells are used up, no matter how advanced the weapon is, it will become

Burn a fire stick.

"Understood, the transport plane has taken off and will arrive in about fifteen minutes." The forward base located on the Lubang Islands is responsible for providing logistical support to the frontline troops. It only took the engineers three days to build a field airport that can take off transport planes.

Today's aircraft do not have high requirements for airports. Fighters with relatively light weight can take off from any patch of grass.

Large transport aircraft and bombers have relatively high requirements for airports. Saipan's airport took more than a year to build.

The transport aircraft of the Lubang Islands are small transport aircrafts, and their requirements for runways are also not high.

The engineers in southern Africa use large machinery and are very efficient.

The situation of the Villamacha Infantry Regiment was indeed very difficult. When Eric asked for assistance, the Second Battalion, which was surrounded by the Japanese army, was in a bitter battle.

The southern African battalion-level unit has a total strength of 812 people. Because the battle broke out suddenly, the Veramacha Infantry Regiment was divided and surrounded. The surrounded second battalion only had one and a half infantry companies, as well as the weapons company under the battalion headquarters. The total strength

There are about 500 people.

There was at least one regiment of Japanese troops besieging the 2nd Battalion.

In previous battles, the Second Battalion had repelled multiple attacks by the Japanese army and was about to run out of ammunition. The situation was very critical.

"The situation of Company C is not good. There are less than one platoon of soldiers who can continue to fight. I will lead the battalion headquarters company to go up, and I will leave this place to you." Second Battalion Commander Fred wants to go to the front line to command the operation in person.

Battalion Deputy Warren continued to contact the regiment headquarters.

The Second Battalion was surrounded by the Japanese army in a ravine. The Japanese occupied the commanding heights on the west side of the valley and launched a condescending attack on the Second Battalion. At the same time, the Japanese 92 infantry artillery continued to fire shells to cause damage. The 80mm mortars equipped by the Second Battalion were

The cannon and 60mm mortar shells have all been used up, and the gunners have picked up their rifles and gone to the front line.

"Tell the brothers to hold on a little longer, our reinforcements will be here soon." Warren was injured in the previous battle. A Japanese sniper hit Warren's shoulder. Warren's shoulder blade was shattered and he has lost his strength.

combat capability.

The battalion headquarters company is not a combat company. It is essentially the security force of the battalion headquarters. In fact, there is only one platoon with less than forty people.

These forty people were well-equipped. They were equipped with assault rifles, and everyone was equipped with a pistol for self-defense. Fred did not forget to remind the soldiers to switch the assault rifles to single-shot mode. Now is not a time for luxury.

Save bullets.

Company C's position is located next to a small river on the west side of the valley. The terrain is pretty good. There are cliffs on the east side of the valley. The Japanese can only use the high ground on one side to launch an attack on the 2nd Battalion. Otherwise, the 2nd Battalion will not be able to hold on until now. It is estimated that they have already been completely destroyed.

The army was destroyed.

Since the war started, not a single battalion-level unit in southern Africa has been wiped out by the Japanese army.

This temptation is very great for the Japanese. Several divisions of the Japanese army have been wiped out in southern Africa. The Japanese have been very frustrated since the beginning of the Malay Peninsula Campaign, and they do not have the style of the first army in Asia.

The Japanese are quite sensible and don't dare to claim to be number one in the world.

It was the Germans who once again shouted the slogan "No. 1 in the world" after defeating France.

Then the Germans lost troops and generals on the Russian battlefield.

The situation of Company C was indeed very bad, and there were not even enough manpower to transport the wounded.

The Japanese army launched attacks at all times. The officers and soldiers of C Company had to deal with the Japanese attack from the front and guard against the Japanese sniper attack on the ridge on one side. The battle was very difficult. From the outbreak of the battle to now, C Company has suffered more than half of its casualties.

There were more Japanese soldiers lying on the other side of the river. At a glance, there were at least four to five hundred corpses of Japanese soldiers. The shallows on the other side of the river were densely covered with a layer of blood. The river water was dyed red with blood. There were corpses floating down the river.

They piled up in the distance and even blocked the flow of the river.

"Well done Cheng, when you return to southern Africa, I will help you apply for a Medal of Honor." Fred came to C Company deputy commander Cheng Yutang. The company commander was seriously injured in the previous battle and was receiving treatment at the battalion headquarters.

The medical capabilities of the southern African army are quite good. Some simple minor surgeries can be performed directly by battalion doctors. If the situation is too serious, they still need to be transferred to the rear for more complete treatment.

The commander of Company C was seriously injured, and the battalion doctors could only treat him briefly and were unable to perform surgery. If he could not be transferred to the rear as soon as possible, he might not last long.

"Thank you for your kindness, you should think of a way first so that we can survive." Cheng Yutang had bandages on his head and arms, and it looked like he must have suffered multiple injuries.

"Hold on for a little longer, ten minutes at most, and we will have reinforcements." Fred pushed his helmet, but before he could put his hand down, a bullet suddenly flew past his ear and hit the stone next to him.

Gu Wei: "Hell, where's your precision shooter?" Fred was startled. He was a veteran of the Japanese army and his shooting skills were pretty good.

Cheng Yutang didn't say anything, and Fred asked nonsense.

Since the precision shooter did not fight back, he was either dead in the battle or lying in the tent at the battalion headquarters.

There are many precision shooters in southern Africa, and almost every squad will be equipped with a precision shooter.

No matter how powerful the precision shooters are, they can't hold off too many Japanese soldiers. The Japanese obviously want to completely eat up the second battalion regardless of casualties.

At this time, a cannonball exploded not far from Fred and Cheng Yutang. Both of them were holding their helmets and lying on the ground tightly. The pebbles stirred up by the explosion jingled on the helmets.

Fred's right thumb was hit by a pebble, and his fingernails were smashed away, leaving blood and blood.

"Congratulations, you got a military medal." Cheng Yutang was still in the mood to joke with Fred. Southern African soldiers can get military medals as long as they are injured, even if they are injured by stones.

"With my injury, the doctor wouldn't think I was self-inflicted." Fred put his thumb in his mouth to stop the bleeding, then took out a bandage and bandaged it himself. For an injury of this level, there is no need to bother the doctor. Fred himself

All southern African officers and soldiers have received training in emergency wound treatment.

"No one can say for sure -" Cheng Yutang didn't help. He was injured by a stone in the era of hot weapons. It seems a bit unjustifiable.

Before Fred's wound was bandaged, the Japanese army launched an attack.

Now the Japanese have learned to be smart and no longer use pig thrust attacks. Instead, they try to open up the front line as much as possible, rely on the cover of terrain and features, and gradually approach the C Company position.

The Japanese 92 Infantry Cannon is still firing, and grenade launchers are also joining in. Compared with the 92 Infantry Cannon, grenade launchers pose a greater threat to the officers and soldiers of C Company. Some Japanese veterans can use grenade launchers to fire rocket launchers.

Effect.

Fortunately, the grenade fired from the grenade is not very powerful. A precision shooter from Company C started to show off its power. A heavy machine gunner who was covering the Japanese attack was hit by a precision shooter. The deputy shooter immediately stepped in and hit him.

Half of the bullet was taken care of by precision shooters.

Fred also picked up his Nyasaland semi-automatic rifle, aimed the gun at a Japanese sergeant and pulled the trigger. A snowflake bloomed on the Japanese sergeant's chest. He wiped it with his hand and looked at him with disbelief.

Fred glanced in the direction and then fell into the fast-flowing river.

At this time, the valley was filled with the crisp sound of Nyasaland rifles. The machine guns had run out of bullets and there were not many grenades left.

From the sparse firepower, the Japanese soldiers judged that Company C's ammunition had been exhausted, and their morale rose sharply. More Japanese troops appeared on the other side of the river, with nearly a thousand people participating in the attack.

Even including the battalion company, the number of officers and soldiers defending on this side of the river was only over a hundred.

A C Company soldier fired continuously at the Japanese army. His body was exposed outside the bunker and he was shot by a Japanese sniper.

The comrades nearby rushed over to check the injury. This soldier was not very lucky. He was seriously injured by the Japanese soldiers and was already in a dying state in just a few seconds.

The comrades had no time to mourn, so they took the bullets from the dead soldiers and continued fighting.

The narrowest part of the river is only over two meters wide, so Japanese soldiers with good physical condition can jump over directly with a running start.

At this distance, the pistol can play a greater role. You don't have to worry about shooting accuracy if you are only a few meters away. If you can't hit at this distance, you deserve to be stabbed to death by the Japanese.

Pistols are not used frequently in combat. Southern African officers and soldiers carry at most two magazines, and they run out of bullets very quickly.

A brutal hand-to-hand combat finally broke out.

The length of the Nyasaland rifle is only about one meter, and the length with the bayonet attached is only about 1.3 meters, which is hugely different from the 1.66-meter 38-meter-high Japanese soldiers.

The soldiers in southern Africa have better weapons. In hand-to-hand combat, the power of the bayonet is actually not as powerful as the engineer shovel.

However, the number of Japanese was greater. As more and more Japanese soldiers rushed across the river, more and more southern African soldiers were overwhelmed by the swarming Japanese soldiers.

Boom, boom, boom--boom--

The bullets in Fred's magazine were quickly emptied, and there was no time to load the bullet. Fred took out his pistol and knocked down a Japanese soldier. Looking at more Japanese soldiers swarming over, his eyes were filled with despair.

.

How many bullets can a pistol have?

At this time, the sound of propellers suddenly came from above the valley.

Reinforcements!

Reinforcements have finally arrived!

This is a helicopter from southern Africa. There is no doubt that it is the only one in the world. Even the British and American troops are not equipped with helicopters.

Before I could finish my thoughts, an armed helicopter suddenly appeared from above the cliff. The rockets shot out from the rocket launcher with a long plume of smoke. The machine gun at the nose of the aircraft fired wildly at the Japanese troops on the ridge on the other side of the river. The morale of the Japanese troops who were furiously attacking suddenly dropped.

Visible speed slumps and disappears.

boom--

A ground attack plane flew over the valley, and the napalm bombs were accurately still on the other side of the river, cutting off the attacking Japanese troops in the middle.

More than a dozen Japanese soldiers, covered in flames, screamed and rushed out of the flames and jumped into the river, trying to extinguish the flames with river water.

Even if it was extinguished, it would be of no use. They had large areas of burns all over their bodies, and they would still be alive in pain if they were not burned to death.

Nima, being burned to death will become a luxury.
