The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

If Kenji Doihara knew what kind of perverted division-level combat unit he was facing, he would not rashly let the 14th Division, who thought it was much stronger, go south alone, even if it was joined with the 5th Division, he would feel uncomfortable rest assured.

Because, the 29th division that Lin Zhencheng belongs to is very powerful!

This is an artillery division developed from the artillery regiment. The main units include 3 artillery regiments, 2 mechanized infantry regiments, and 1 tank regiment!

You can't tell anything just by looking at the units, but if you carefully analyze the number of their equipment, you will scare too many people!There are three artillery regiments, each of which has five battalions, three of which are artillery, one mechanized infantry battalion and one tank battalion.These three regiments alone have a total of 54 multiple rocket launchers, 36 152mm plus howitzers, and 72 105mm self-propelled cannons, as well as 120 main battle tanks, and more infantry combat vehicles!

The attached air defense company is not counted, and the pontoon bridge company and the logistics supply chain are not even mentioned. Each regiment has hundreds of vehicles in total.

The two mechanized infantry regiments consist of three mechanized infantry battalions, one artillery battalion and one tank battalion, while the du li tank regiment has three tank battalions, one mechanized infantry battalion and one self-propelled artillery battalion.

All in all, the amount of steel owned by this huge division is simply outrageous! 12 battalions of artillery, a total of 216 pieces, 8 battalions of tanks, 320 vehicles, 10 battalions of infantry fighting vehicles, at least 400 vehicles, the rest of the rest are piled up with various armed anti-aircraft vehicles, some small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, machine guns , Vehicle-mounted recoilless guns, mortars, heavy machine guns, etc. have not yet been counted.In addition to the single-mounted rocket launchers, grenade launchers, etc. carried by the infantry, it is really close to the density of one barrel per 10 people that Zhu Bin said!

And the total number of such a division has reached a shameful 27000 people!If the supporting logistics force is strengthened, it will even reach 30000 people, not counting the weight of the army and air force!

In other words, the number of people in this 29th division is almost the same as the 14th division he has strengthened now! ---He is now two brigades, four infantry regiments, one each for cavalry, field artillery, engineers, and luggage.In addition, communication, sanitation, and field hospitals are counted as 4, and the attachment of 1 tank brigade and 1 heavy artillery brigades has been specially strengthened. This is equivalent to 2 regiments, which is also very generous.

But when it comes to the amount of steel, the caliber and quantity of cannons, and the quantity and quality of tanks, they are simply incomparable, but all of this.Doihara didn't know it at all, but now he just knows that the opponent's mobility is very strong, how many artillery tanks and infantry vehicles are equipped, his eyes are smeared!

As the leader of the Japanese intelligence agency who knows Zhu Bin best, Doihara has already made sufficient preparations.No matter how overestimated, he was even ridiculed by the local army, and considered "cowardly" by the brigade leaders and colonels below, but he didn't think it was too much.It's a pity that the people who really listened to him.It is still too little!

At night, the 169th and 170th artillery regiments, which had been bombarded for half an afternoon, suddenly fell silent, as if they had nothing to do with them at all. The night reconnaissance plane sent by the Japanese army ventured to circle the sky twice, but they couldn't find them. Where is the position!Hidden ones are called Yanshi!

Although Takashi Sakai is crazy, he also knows that his opponent is a tough one.Therefore, he was very careful in testing, updating the information every half an hour, making sure that no one would suddenly come to block the back road on his right-wing Ping-Han line, and send out a brigade of light cavalry tanks, far away from the main force. For more than a dozen miles, they crossed Baiyangdian first, and then turned left when they reached the vicinity of Renqiu. The purpose was to ensure that the opponent's powerful mobile force would not surprise them.

However, the results of the investigation were satisfactory, and the other party seemed to firmly contain the security line to prevent them from passing through.The flanks are still mainly defensive.Sakai Takashi decided, that's right!China's troops should be like this, they will not fight back if they are not pushed, and they will fight back with proportion...Then ordered the main force to cross the river quickly, especially the two heavy artillery brigades pushed forward under the pressure of heavy troops, and set up a position between the reeds and sandy beaches less than 2 kilometers away from the river bank. When the main force is in place, a violent shelling can be launched immediately!

However, he never imagined that while his 28th Brigade was advancing at high speed, three pontoon bridges were quietly erected in the narrow area on the east side of Baiyangdian, north of Renqiu. Three tank battalions and two The mechanized infantry battalion, 3 rocket launcher battalions and 2 self-propelled artillery battalion turned off their lights, and relying on their respective low-light night vision equipment and infrared night vision devices, they passed quickly with the sound of low-pitched track collisions!

The steel pontoon deck paved with a layer of basalt fiberboard is extremely tough, but it will not make a fierce collision sound when tanks and chariots pass by. The dense reeds provide natural shelter, and the artificial smog floating in the sky even covers the only one. A little bit of light, let alone high-altitude reconnaissance, even if you get close, you may not be able to see clearly.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, when half of the infantry, tank brigade, and heavy artillery brigade of Sakai Takashi's brigade arrived at the predetermined location, this secretly infiltrating force had also pushed to the west of Xiong County, away from its brigade headquarters and rear forces. , less than ten kilometers!Just separated by a wide Juma River!

At 10:30, the cavalry reconnaissance team sent by Takashi Sakai's brigade first approached the enemy. About five kilometers away from Anxi, they were blocked by hidden infantry fighting vehicles. He sprang out and violently swept at the cavalry with 6mm tank guns and heavy machine guns, causing at least 40 casualties, and then collided with the following Type 30 cavalry light tank.

The shame is that they are equipped with 37mm tank guns, but only have tons of steel. The overall performance is worse than that of the opponent. Not only can they not penetrate other people's 44mm composite armor, but their own 12mm carburized steel armor is even more powerful. Even the opponent's heavy machine guns couldn't stop them. When the 40mm tank gun of the other party fired suddenly, the result was extremely tragic! The three light tanks were shot through and destroyed on the spot, and the people inside had no chance to escape.It was smashed into pieces by the opponent's Gaoping dual-purpose heavy machine gun and even the tank!

The three laggards ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, but their maximum speed of 3 kilometers could not run faster than the 40 kilometers per hour infantry vehicle equipped with a Tesla engine!In less than a few minutes, he caught up from behind, "Tong Tong Tong" beat him up, and the whole army was wiped out!

Losing a chariot all of a sudden, Takashi Sakai couldn't help but feel pain, but the price was worth it, at least, he found the other party's whereabouts.Judging based on experience, he immediately delineated the place where the opponent might hide soldiers.Then ordered two heavy artillery brigades and two field artillery brigades to fire at the intended target!

The range of 24 150mm **-type heavy cannons is still very impressive. From the south side of Baiyangdian, the cluster suddenly launched an attack, and the earth-shattering roar tore through the silent night sky, and the flashes of light scattered the reeds with a radius of tens of miles. Birds and wild ducks were so startled that they flew up one after another, croaking, and the earth trembled.The heavy cannon body was hit by the recoil and fell into deep pits one by one. The kilogram-heavy and powerful shells tore through the sky, and rushed towards the county town with a breathtaking neigh!

About 5 kilometers away from the heavy artillery position, the 95-type 75mm field artillery of the two field artillery brigades did not show weakness. With a range of 10 kilometers, it became one of the most outstanding members of light artillery in the world today.Divided into groups and fired quickly and fiercely towards the predetermined place with a "boom boom boom", instantly hitting a death line with a radius of five kilometers!

Thousands of soldiers of the 15th Regiment, at this time, marched forward heroically at the fastest speed!

"The Japanese army is firing!" Xu Yao, the deputy commander of the 29th Division who rushed over in the evening, narrowed his eyes.Looking at the constantly illuminated sky in the distance, the flashing light made his eyes shine as if he saw a giant dragon piled up with gems, full of greed and fanaticism!

"It's time to make a contribution and avenge your shame!" Xu Yao secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

As the former deputy division commander of the 29th Army under Han Fuju, he was really aggrieved by the defeat at the beginning. He got some of Ri's own heavy equipment and thought it was a bit of a capital, but ended up doing it all over again.It was wiped out without even holding on for a day.After a year of intensive training at the Zhoushan base, he did not live as an apartment with Han Fuju like Sun Tongxuan and others, nor did he run away like Wu Hua and go elsewhere to be praised by others. Instead, he chose to join the team very wisely. When he joined the task force, he was selected as the deputy division commander with excellent results.

Zhu Bin personally promised him that as long as he did a good enough job, there would be a division of troops for him in the future, realizing his dream of leading a large army to shine in the Great Patriotic War.

Unexpectedly.The opportunity came so quickly, only half a year later, today, he was able to rush to the front line of the resistance against Japan with a team so powerful that he didn't even dare to imagine!

The first victory in the resistance against Japan!If we can annihilate the main force of the Japanese army in an organized way, then our reputation will be well-known all over the world!

With a beautiful swipe of his mouth, Xu Yao was full of energy, picked up the radio and ordered: "All artillery are there, and fire according to the predetermined combat target!"

"Fight!" The two rocket artillery battalions at the forefront shouted in unison. A total of 2 artillery vehicles had been loaded long ago, and each of them had densely packed 36mm gun tubes (the 122mm203 tubes written earlier, I found that it was overdone. It can’t be pulled... I hereby correct it) start, the unique whistling sound suddenly broke the silence on the north shore of Baiyangdian, and in the blink of an eye, a total of 48 rockets dragged the shining tail flames and went straight to the target 1728 kilometers away. At the end, it was Sakai The brigade department of the 15th Long Brigade!

Takashi Sakai was at the brigade headquarters in a small village outside Xiongxian County, listening intently to the roar from a distance, and the enemy's position was blown upside down, all kinds of tanks and cannons were shattered, and countless In the spectacular scene of unclear people and guns being smashed into parts and flying all over the sky, a faint grin appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But at this moment, a staff officer put down the phone with a pale face, and screamed: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, we found traces of the Chinese troops 14 kilometers away from our right wing, and strange artillery was fired!"

"Hey?!" Takashi Sakai's eyes widened, and he was about to scold, when he suddenly heard a shrill sound like a north wind whizzing through a valley above his head, followed by a "boom" There was a big hole in the roof, and a two-meter-long slender thing spewed flames and plunged into the front of his desk, and exploded suddenly at the moment when he was terrified!
