Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The temperature in Kagoshima in December is quite suitable, with the highest temperature during the day being around 10 degrees and the lowest temperature at night being 4 degrees.

When boarding the landing craft, both Li Xun and Singer put on black raincoats to prevent the seawater from getting their weapons and equipment wet. After putting on the same black gas masks, they looked like devils emerging from hell.

It's daunting.

In fact, the scenery of Kagoshima is pretty good. There are many volcanic islands formed by volcanic eruptions. There are more than 600 islands in Kagoshima Prefecture, many of which are uninhabited islands and are not among the Allied attack targets.

Kagoshima Prefecture has a total area of ​​9,187 square kilometers and a coastline of 2,722 kilometers. To sweep through so many islands one by one, the number of troops participating in the Olympic plan would have to be doubled.

Angie and MacArthur were afraid of trouble, so they adopted Le Mei's suggestion and sent the air force and fleet to clean up the islands around Kagoshima one by one. They did not require all occupation, but only destroyed all the ships that could move, and the Japanese on the islands would fend for themselves.

Just destroy yourself and don't cause trouble to the Allies.

The closer you get to the coastline, the more complicated the situation becomes. There are reefs everywhere under the water, and the speed of the landing craft is very fast. Although the Air Force has thrown colorful floating buckets and smoke canisters on safe waterways in advance, accidents still happen.

Li Xun and Singer were lucky. The landing craft they boarded reached the shore smoothly. Several landing crafts ran aground along the way, and two more hit the rocks and took in a lot of water. The pilots and soldiers on the landing craft were crowded on the bow of the sinking ship and were in a panic.

The air force's preparations were very good. The imagined landing battle did not happen. The beach was peaceful and peaceful. There were no barbed wire fences, horseback horses, or machine gun bunkers. There were only a few smoking ruins not far away to remind the officers and soldiers.

We have entered enemy territory.

"Take out your rifles, check the weapons, put on your gas masks, and be careful -" the officers kept reminding, and whistles kept coming and going.

The process of beach landing cannot be orderly even if it is well-trained. The officers will use whistles to gather their soldiers. The first batch of soldiers to land have a heavy task. They must open channels and establish beachhead positions for the armored units that will follow the landing.

During this process, the Japanese army would counterattack at any time.

Li Xun and Singh jumped off the landing craft almost at the same time, completed the rendezvous according to the whistle guidance, and moved forward in a search state under the command of the officer.

"Where have all the Japanese gone?" Singer was excited and couldn't wait to find a few Japanese to eat meat.

It's not that kind of meat, don't get it wrong.

"They are probably all in the volcano -" Li Xun kept his gun ready to fire and glanced at the volcano not far away.

There are indeed many volcanoes. Not far from the landing site is the famous Kaimondake. This is a volcano with an almost perfect cone shape. It is known as Satsuma Fuji and is very famous.

Kagoshima Prefecture itself has a long history. Because it is located at the southern gate of Japan, it has had very frequent exchanges with neighboring countries and countries in the Asia-Pacific region since ancient times.

In the 17th century, the Dutch introduced Javanese deer from the Dutch East Indies and bred them on the island in order to obtain meat, hence the name Kagoshima.

There are many famous people in Kagoshima. Saigo Takamori and Okubo Toshimichi are both from Kagoshima. Japanese Navy Marshal, Togo Heihachiro, who is also known as the "Military God" together with Nogi Nogi Nogi, is also from Kagoshima.

"How about volcano bathing?" Singer is such an honest guy, but he seems to have completely relaxed after arriving in Japan.

Kagoshima's volcano baths are quite famous, but Singer definitely didn't mean that. Looking at him, it seemed that he really wanted to throw the Japanese into the volcano.

Before Li Xun could speak, several people suddenly appeared next to the ruins of a house.

Before the start of Operation Olympic, the Allied air force carried out a month-long indiscriminate bombing of Kagoshima. Japan's many wooden buildings were almost impossible to put out as long as they were ignited by incendiary bombs.

These few locals were probably searching for usable living supplies in the ruins. Unexpectedly, they happened to catch up with the Allied troops landing. They were helpless and motionless for a while.

They were probably frightened by the Allied troops wearing gas masks.

Of course, Japan also has gas masks, but compared with the Allied gas masks, they are too crude and have different styles. Not many people have seen gas masks these days. When a large group of soldiers wearing gas masks appears, it is really scary.

of.

"Stand where you are and don't move, raise your hands!" Li Xun shouted as required, using Chinese.

Li Xun did not know Japanese, and the Allied officers and soldiers did not receive Japanese language training before setting off because everyone believed that the Japanese would not surrender, so there was no need for training.

"——" Singh was also shouting, but he was probably speaking in Gurkha, which even Li Xun couldn't understand.

The other party was two men and one woman. Judging from the waiters, they should all be civilians. They did not seem to be carrying weapons.

I don’t know if the other party understood what Li Xun and Singer were saying. Before Singer finished speaking, a man suddenly turned around and ran away.

Bah——

It was Singer who fired the shot.

The sudden gunshot startled Li Xun and he subconsciously pulled the trigger.

The same goes for other soldiers around. It is obviously the most advanced automatic and semi-automatic rifle, but it actually produces a volley effect.

The three Japanese were unlucky. Each of them was hit by more than ten bullets on average. Thanks to the director of the documentary, the effect was remarkable.

"Stop, stop shooting!" Under the officer's order, the gunfire gradually stopped.

Then a group of people rushed forward.

It was indeed a civilian. Li Xun did not approach the body and stayed on guard more than ten meters away from the body.

Singer was stupid and bold. He went over to check the body and found that a man was not dead. He put the muzzle of the gun on the man's head and shot him. Then he jumped away and cursed. Because he couldn't control the distance well, a little blood was spattered on his body.

In fact, there is no need at all, and there is no battlefield to clean. They should all be real civilians with nothing valuable on them. Although Singh is a Gurkha, he is a regular army in southern Africa after all. He is different from those war hyenas in Umbrella who are desperate for money.

Likewise, Singer still couldn't do such a thing as opening a dead man's mouth to check whether there were gold teeth.

"Keep formation and keep moving forward——"

Under the officer's orders, Li Xun and Singer continued to move forward.

In fact, we didn't go very far. After all, heavy tanks were more reliable for attacking, and light infantry couldn't risk their lives.

While the infantry was expanding the landing site, the engineers had already begun to build a simple pontoon bridge.

Unlike the European Allies, the East Asian Allies were more prepared. The pontoons were built in advance and delivered to the shore in sections. They were assembled in less than half an hour. The most time-consuming part was finding a suitable location. A ten-ton heavy tank still has requirements for a foundation.

The first thing to come ashore was not the "Lion" tank, but the latest model of the fourth-generation Alligator armored personnel carrier.

Compared with the previous three generations, the fourth generation Alligator has thicker armor and more fierce firepower. The most obvious sign is that the previous twin 12.7 mm large-caliber machine guns have been replaced by electric-driven Gatling.

An Alligator can carry six infantrymen, plus a driver and machine gunner, and its attack and defense capabilities are guaranteed.

Such an Alligator weighs 20 tons. According to Japanese military standards, it can basically be regarded as a heavy tank.

With the alligator, the speed of advancement was greatly accelerated. The driver of the alligator Li Xun and Singer were riding in was very good, but the car drove a bit fast. The eight-wheeled alligator drove out "Lion" Li Xun was not used to the posture of the tank, which was running like flying on the muddy road.

This is a hell of a battle in enemy territory. Don't make it like an outing, racing at all times.

"You don't understand. As long as we go fast enough, the Japanese won't have time to target us -" The driver had his own logic, which made sense.

There must be a counterattack. The Japanese army gave up on Kyushu Island again, and there were more than twenty divisions of defenders. The alligators advanced less than a kilometer before they were finally attacked by the Japanese army.

The terrain of Kagoshima is actually quite complex. It is not a flat plain. There are volcanoes and hills everywhere. Although the height is not too high, the vegetation is quite lush. The machine gunners did not lock the Japanese army's position immediately.

"On the left, the Japanese are on our left!" Singer had a good sense of position and his voice sounded very real.

"There were gunshots on the right side too, damn we are surrounded!" Sergei, a Slav who was also in the carriage, was lying on the floor in the middle of the carriage with a look of horror on his face.

Facts have proved that it is very easy for the Japanese to target such a large armored vehicle.

Although the accuracy of the 38-gun is good, its power is limited and cannot penetrate the alligator's armor. However, the sound of the bullets hitting the car body is quite scary.

"Retreat, retreat--" Li Xun calmly said that alligators are suitable for reconnaissance, but heavy tanks still have to be relied upon to attack the enemy.

It would take at least two hours for the "Lion" tank to land. After the Alligator retreated to a safe distance, all the infantry dismounted and relied on armored vehicles to build a temporary defense line.

hiss--

The alligator's Gatling finally opened fire. The rate of fire of a thousand rounds per minute was astonishing. The gunshots were almost connected in a line. Other alligators also caught up, and the 40mm grenade launcher also began to fire. The purpose was still Expand the landing field.

Since everyone has landed, there is no rush to attack. First try to expand the landing site as much as possible, and wait until enough "Lions" come up before launching the attack. The expeditionary force will not fight with the little Japanese with bayonets.

Crouching behind the alligator's thick armor, Li Xun and Singer squatted to rest. They had nothing to do for the time being.

"If I take off my gas mask now, will I be infected by the plague?" Singer took out a cigarette and hesitated.

"If you smoke while wearing a gas mask, won't it cause harm to your body?" Sergey has a big idea. Isn't it okay if he doesn't smoke?

"How many plague germs are needed to spread the plague virus all over Kyushu?" Singer doubted the manufacturing capabilities of the Japanese.

"How big is Kyushu Island?" Sergey discussed seriously.

Singer shook his head.

Li Xun knew it but didn't want to say it.

It's more than 30,000 square kilometers.

With this thought, Singer took off the gas mask with confidence.

If Japan had this industrial capability, it would not be beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.

"Are you crazy? Put on the mask!" Li Xun scolded, he would die if he didn't smoke.

Singer was still very afraid of Li Xun. He muttered dissatisfaction and kept his mask on. If he was seen by an officer, it would not be as simple as being scolded.

Gatling is very powerful and consumes a lot of bullets. He gets angry and then calms down. The machine gunner carefully hides behind the thick baffle and uses a periscope to observe carefully.

If this still allows the Japanese snipers to find an opportunity, it can only be a ghost.

Two hours passed by in a flash, and as the "lion" roared onto the beach, the impatient expedition officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time cheered.

There was only a cheer, and then it stopped abruptly.

The beach was too soft and could not bear the 60-ton "Lion". The first "Lion" just got off the pontoon and sank into the sand pit, just like a person falling in a swamp.

sink downward.

The crawler tractor rushed up immediately, and the engineers were busy laying logs and steel plates. After another half an hour, the embarrassed "Lion" finally climbed up.

After leaving the beach area, the "Lion" pose finally returned to normal, and now it was the little devil's turn to feel uncomfortable.

The 60-ton "Lion" type is 3 meters high, 3.5 meters wide and 10 meters long. It covers an area of ​​30 square meters, which is larger than many houses in Japan.

Although the Japanese army also has tanks, the 20-ton tank is just like a toy compared to the "Lion". The Japanese are usually small and have small houses, and they don't have long guns. How have they ever seen such a huge behemoth?

What's more, when more than thirty "Lions" lined up in a dense formation to launch a group charge, it felt like the elephant soldiers rushing into the infantry square in the cold weapon era. The momentum was overwhelming.

The "Lion" type 88mm tank gun can be regarded as a heavy artillery in the Japanese army. The 92 infantry gun equipped by the Japanese army has a caliber of only 70mm, which is not even as good as the 75 Miss. The "Lion" type equipped by the First Marine Division has

You don’t even need to stop when shooting. This is also a black technology that is incomprehensible in Japan.

There are many black technologies.

The 1st Marine Division has now given up on infantry-tank coordination tactics. It is the "Alligator" armored personnel carrier that cooperates with the "Lion" to launch the attack. The Japanese rifle and cell phone gunners suddenly have no target to attack, and they don't know what to do.

Needless to say, the "Lion" tank, considering its size, even the 7.7mm caliber Type 92 heavy machine gun can only scratch the surface when hit.

The Japanese army doesn't have anti-tank guns, nor does it have rocket launchers. It's not that the Japanese army doesn't pay attention to it, but it's just that they don't need it in East Asia. Japan's pitiful resources are all used to develop the navy. The army is not a stepmother.

, is derived from the word "raise".

But you have to fight, even if you do it for a show, you still have to do it.

So the tank crews of the "Lion" tank were very relaxed. They controlled the "Lion" tank and stayed out of the threat of Japanese firepower. They relaxed and relaxed and named the Japanese firepower points one by one. If one shot failed, they would try again. Anyway,

I can hit you but you can't hit me. The advantage brought by the difference in weapons is really great. In those days, the British bullied Africans in southern Africa.

If the Japanese knew that southern Africans treat Japanese as Africans, they would probably be angry to death.

Even though the Japanese are not very capable, they have very strong self-esteem.
