Rise from the sword

Chapter 557

Chengde.

Inside the Japanese Army Headquarters.

Hattori Kotaro and the captains of his division are having a meeting.

"In this battle, the eight forces are coming fiercely, the enemy's weapons and equipment are advanced, there are a large number of aircraft, tanks and heavy artillery, and the logistics supply is sufficient. In terms of strength, we are absolutely inferior."

During the meeting, Hattori Kotaro first showed his compulsion.

Although the imperial army of the Imperial Japanese Empire was proud and blessed with the spirit of Bushido, they always looked down on the troops of the Republic of China, thinking that the opponents were not only poorly equipped, but also had low morale and poor commander ability.

Totally a bunch of rubbish.

But the first army, the North China Front Army, spent several years and spent hundreds of thousands of casualties to accumulate experience and lessons, as well as the reports of those battles.Hattori Kotaro can still see it.

Those who can serve as the first division may be proud, arrogant, and look down on others, but there is no need to talk about ability, IQ, or vision, and they can still recognize reality.

"Moreover, the enemy is rapidly increasing its troops, and the gap between our strength and the enemy's strength will become wider and wider."

Hattori's tone is serious:

"Therefore, I decided to launch a night attack, unexpectedly destroying the enemy's warehouse, destroying the enemy's weapons and equipment, annihilating its main force, destroying the railway traffic line, and completely solving the crisis of Chengde."

Although his mouth was cautious and his actions seemed to be cautious, Hattori's tone was outrageous.

This old devil intends to solve all problems at once.

He looked at the two captains, No. 40, the captain of the Seventh Regiment, is the veteran regiment captain of the First Division, with rich command experience and outstanding military exploits, and has been personally commended by the Emperor.

And the soldiers under the command of these two regiments are not the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers of the miscellaneous divisions, but carefully selected, after half a year of recruit training, plus several years of actual combat honing.

Strong physical fitness, rich combat experience, excellent weapons and equipment, high understanding of Bushido spirit, and strong morale.

It is the first choice to carry out this night interspersed attack mission.

"In this battle, everyone must be extremely energetic and vigilant."

Hattori exhorted.

"Hi."

The two division heads bowed their heads and stood at attention, responding loudly.

"The enemy has tanks, I will give you the latest magnetic anti-tank mines, Molotov cocktails, new 47mm anti-tank guns."

Hattori paused, raised his tone and continued:
"However, according to the situation in Ping'an County, the front and side of the magnetic anti-tank landmine can penetrate armor and can effectively destroy enemy tanks, but the 47mm can only penetrate the side, tail, or destroy the track."

"The combat effect of the Molotov cocktail is unknown."

"Be careful when fighting."

At the end, Hattori's tone was regretful.

After tanks appeared in the Independent Regiment, the Empire prepared to study a new type of tank gun and set the caliber at 75 mm. Because of insufficient technical reserves and research problems, the Empire originally planned to seek the help of its allies.

but now...
"Hi."

The tone of the two alliance captains was obviously lower.

The enemy has more than just tanks, but a large number, a super large number, and a huge number of tanks.Densely packed, groups of tanks.

It's the same as not wanting money.

And the armor is thicker than the imperial tanks, the firepower is stronger than the imperial tanks, and the speed is faster than the imperial tanks.

And their weapons are only short-range anti-tank weapons such as Molotov cocktails and magnetic grenades, and a small number of 47mm anti-tank guns that cannot defeat the eight-way tank from the front.

Even at night, the battle is hard to fight.

The flares of that group are much more famous, and the advantage of attacking at night is not much greater than that during the day.

Hattori continued:

"The enemy has night vision goggles and can detect our movements at night, while we cannot detect them."

"According to the information collected by the T-Tech personnel, this kind of night vision device uses infrared lighting that is invisible to the naked eye, and then observes the infrared light through special equipment. The principle is similar to that of a searchlight."

Although it is impossible to know how far away, but because of the widespread deployment of infrared equipment, the devils still inquired a little information about the night vision devices equipped by the troops.

"Since it is a searchlight, there will be a lot of blind spots in the field of vision. Try to operate in the blind spots when marching."

"Hi."

The tone of the two alliance captains was still bitter.

They also know that there are blind spots for enemy night vision goggles.

But the searchlight, light source, beam of light, and the illuminated area are all visible to the naked eye, but the infrared light cannot be seen by the naked eye, so how to avoid the blind spot of vision.

The two looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

The head of his own division said every day that the commanders of the Republic of China ignored the reality and commanded blindly, and it turned out that he himself did the same.

Opposite Chengde.

Ping County.

The independent regiment led by Ding Wei is stationed.

The warehouse door was opened.A new-style crawler tractor was emitting black smoke from the tail engine exhaust pipe, and a new-style cannon was hung on the tow hook, slowly driving out of the warehouse gate.

Its body size is several times larger than that of a tank, its unprecedented thick barrel, crawler mount, and the engine at the rear of the mount all prove that this gun is a real land-based heavy artillery.

"The new 305 howitzers, a total of twelve."

The voice of the warehouse administrator was as calm as ever:
"It's all here."

"Add three thousand shells and twelve spare barrels."

The warehouse manager of the independent regiment is selected from the guard battalion soldiers of the regiment headquarters, and is subordinate to the regiment headquarters, and only accepts direct orders from Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong.

"Ha ha··"

Looking at the heavy cannon in front of him, Ding Wei smiled from ear to ear.

This is the real heavy artillery.

305 mm caliber, 28-fold barrel, crawler base, maximum range of 18 kilometers, automatic pitching and delivery mechanism, grenades weighing 350 kg, armor-piercing projectiles weighing [-] kg, and a total weight of [-] tons.

Although there is an air force now, which can call for bombing support anytime and anywhere, and even has more than a ton of heavy bombs, as well as ground-penetrating bombs that can deal with all bunkers, the army is not so urgent about heavy artillery.

but····

Artillery is still the soul and guts of the army.

Moreover, the artillery will not be affected by the weather or time, and the fire support can be provided anytime and anywhere, and its durability is much better than that of the aircraft.

Although this thing is a bit heavier, its maneuverability is difficult, and its weight of [-] tons makes it necessary to repair bridges and reinforce it when passing through some places, but now there is a full-track tractor with a [-]-horsepower diesel engine, and the mobility problem is not big. Slow down, it doesn't matter if the heavy artillery slows down.

He now has plenty of time to play with the devils slowly.

"Fifth Pao Battalion, set up these twelve cannons, and show the devils a little bit of color first."

Ding Wei ordered with a smile.

"Yes."

An artillery battalion commander behind him was excited.

Heavy artillery!
"There are [-] tons of cement and [-] tons of steel bars."

The warehouse clerk continued.

"it is good."

Ding Wei couldn't help shouting.

With cement and steel bars, he can quickly build strong fortifications and build permanent fortification bunkers.

And this kind of bunker is not only faster to build than civil bunkers, but also has a stronger structure, and its shooting range is much better.

······
mountain city.

"What kind of shoes are these?"

After training, Cai Jiheng, who came out for a stroll during the holiday, looked at the brand-new rubber shoes in the store, a little stunned and a little surprised.

He was surprised at the price and quantity of the shoes in front of him.

As a pilot, even though he was a pilot of the Republic of China, his income is also very high. He doesn't like bars, but likes to visit the small neighborhoods of the mountain city.

He likes to look at the people at the bottom of the war.

Therefore, he is very familiar with this street.

The shoes in front of me are new products that have never appeared before. From the material point of view, they are rubber soles and canvas bodies.

Rubber cloth shoes.

This kind of shoe technology appeared in foreign countries a long time ago. The rubber sole makes it very durable and suitable for long-distance walking.

Although it is not very breathable, it is easy to smell the feet, but it is not a big problem.

A pair of sturdy and durable shoes, a pair of shoes that can be used for five or six years, and a pair of shoes that can be worn to chop firewood in the mountains without fear of sharp thorns or sharp rocks, are very much needed by ordinary people.

However, before the country did not have the ability to mass-produce such shoes, capital and technology were not enough.

Therefore, the quantity of domestically produced products is small and the price is expensive, even more expensive than those imported from abroad. It is not affordable for ordinary people at all.But this kind of shoes can only be needed by ordinary people.

So embarrassing.

The price of the sole cloth shoes in front of him was only one-fifteenth of the imported price, and the quantity was extremely large. He saw a large pile neatly piled up in the corner of the shop for people to choose from.

With this price and this quantity, even the most ordinary family can buy one or two pairs.

Although it is a small matter, although it is only a pair of shoes, it is also beneficial to the country and the people.It would be even better if it was produced in your own country.

"Tell me what Jiefang shoes are."

The shop owner knew Cai Jiheng, and he answered with a mouthful of white teeth:

"Come in from there."

"It's very cheap, how about you?"

"Two pairs."

Cai Jiheng became interested. He knew where it was, and the high-level executives of Guofu hated that place very much. Although his brother was also a general and was in charge of supervising the battle in Changheng area, he didn't hate that place at all, and he still yearned for it.

According to gossip, there are a large number of planes and fuel over there. Pilots can fly vigorously every day without worrying about wear and tear on the planes, loss of parts, and fuel loss.

This is fatal to a pilot, especially a guy like him who yearns for airplanes.

According to the fact that the group provided the United States with [-] tons of aviation fuel, [-] tons of bombs, and some photos published in small newspapers, this is very likely to be true.

If it wasn't for his brother being a war supervisor with a special position and status, he would have gone there long ago.

Anyway, the American heavy bombers have been evacuated to the European region recently, and the support for the Chinese and American air forces has been greatly reduced. It is meaningless to bring this kind of force.

"It seems that things are true..."

Looking at the shoes in his hand that were of better quality than foreign rubber-soled shoes, Cai Jiheng squinted his eyes:
"That group is really developing industry, and it's technologically advanced and massive."

Although the shoes in hand seem simple, they cannot be manufactured without relatively complete rubber industrial technical equipment.

at the same time,

American mansion.

Weidemei also looked at the information in his hand, his eyes were dark and his brows were deeply frowned:
"Giant Tire Factory..."

　Thank you, the ancestor of the wild beast, for your reward, thank you, thank you...
