The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

One side of Chief Akashiba's heart is the huge pressure that can be felt from the coming powerful enemy two hundred kilometers away, and the other side is the huge temptation of being the first to have the opportunity to break the myth of the enemy's invincibility!

In the past few years, the Japanese army has been humiliated by Zhu Bin's troops countless times, and every time they lost troops, they even lost two divisions in 1937. Such a tragedy once aroused great criticism within the army. The dead were scattered, and if Kenji Doihara hadn't been able to cut through with a thick-skinned samurai sword, he would have committed suicide long ago in shame.

After many summaries, the General Staff Headquarters came to the conclusion that they overly underestimated the powerful boosting power of the technological weapons and equipment possessed by the enemy on the opposite side.One is a special fighter plane for air-to-ground attack. This was answered after learning about the German "Stuka".

The other is the ability of armored combat vehicles to engage in frontal combat.As of the beginning of the year, hundreds of medium tanks were lost along the Great Wall, which proves that on the basis of the 20-ton standard, Japanese tanks are at a disadvantage in all respects. To win, they must have larger tonnage, larger artillery, Larger numbers of powerful heavy tanks!

After the Ministry of the Army urgently recruited the construction plans proposed by major factories across the country, it determined two more reliable ones. One is the Type 88 artillery built by itself after the imported German 99mm anti-aircraft gun. Experiments have proved that this long-barreled artillery The high-strength steel plate that can easily penetrate the above is a magical weapon for striking armored targets.The Type 40 [-]-ton heavy tank developed on this basis has proved to be extremely reliable in actual combat at Nuomenkan!

Over the past few months, this type of combat vehicle produced overtime has been installed in several major mechanized divisions, including the 10th division.

Another powerful chariot is a behemoth designed and manufactured using Taisho 14th anti-aircraft guns. It is a super chariot with a self-weight of 100 tons!Because it is too advanced and powerful, it is scheduled to be the decisive weapon of the army's ground combat, and it is designated as a zero-type heavy tank!

This has front armor and side armor.With two 2mm secondary guns, it can run 37 kilometers per hour under 750 horsepower. It is too heavy to be used in the Northeast Plain. After it was built, it was difficult to transport several vehicles to the Mongolian Plateau. A natural site for recycling.Therefore, it was also equipped with the garrison troops of the 30th Division.

But this guy is just too bulky.The speed is slow and the voyage is short, and Chief Akashiba is not willing to take it out with him. Therefore, in his current dissatisfied regiment, the main force is more than 20 Type 99 heavy tanks and the 18-ton medium tank modified from 110. The number also exceeded the establishment of the earliest tank du li brigades, and reached sixty medium tanks.If the entire regiment is present, the total number of tanks will exceed [-].Such a powerful establishment.It was unimaginable before.

Now it is different, the enemy they have to face, under a regiment with about the same number as his wing, has more than 160 powerful tanks, which is one and a half times the number!This is composed of crazy troops like the German Panzer Corps, and it is very scary to drive to the battlefield.

Even without considering the combat effectiveness and technical gap of tanks and tanks.The numbers alone are enough to cause headaches, and this is the result of the Army doing everything it can.Therefore, Chief Akashiba knew very well that he could not recklessly fight against the opponent's striker anyway. The result of that was not optimistic.Although, he believed it extremely.The strength of the Type [-] heavy tank will definitely cause unexpected blows to the opponent.His ambition is by no means limited to this!

In Cullen's 10th Division headquarters, it wasn't long before Sasaki took office until a well-known militant in the army.He is quite satisfied to take over such a powerful army whose combat effectiveness ranks among the top three in the country's million-strong army. This is the praise he deserves. It's a pity that the Russo-Japanese War is over, otherwise he has the confidence to lead this army Push along the Far East Railway all the way to Moscow.

The report from Chief Chichai made his eyes light up suddenly, and he called the other party by long-distance phone himself: "Are you sure it is the forward of Zhu Bin's army in China?"

The investigators Chichai sent out to confirm haven’t responded yet, so I dare not say too much, but based on my own judgment and premonition, I boldly predicted: “It should be them! There has never been a second army in China that used dozens of ships in luxury. The giant airship is used as a low-altitude assistant! In addition, only his troops can keep the mysterious whereabouts, and they are so rampant!"

Sasaki Daichi didn't doubt it, and made a decisive decision: "Hey! This is really great! I was worrying about how to teach those arrogant guys a hard lesson, and they sent it to my door! Chichai-kun, a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds has come! Yes! You should take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and show them some color first! The main force of the division and other troops will arrive in time, this time, we must completely eat it!"

"Hi!" Chief Akashiba agreed quickly, but his mouth tasted bitter, which is easier said than done!Since the other party dared to put on such a posture, they must have something to rely on. Is it really no problem to make a surprise attack by night?

After thinking about it, he secretly made up his mind, or try it out, there is a way!The Germans are very impressed by the night combat capability of the Imperial Army. Those who rely on weapons and equipment must have never expected to receive such a warm welcome?

Fight!

Akashiba Yaezang immediately called Major General Seya Kai, the head of the brigade who led another 63rd Regiment to march eastward, to tell the relevant situation, and to tell the whole story about the deployment of the division headquarters and his own ideas.

Major General Seya is an active activist. Hearing the words, he agreed to the action plan without hesitation, and encouraged him loudly: "Master Chichai, completely crush the conspiracy of the Chinese army to attack the empire. You must fire the first shot well. As long as the arrogance of the invading enemy can be successfully defeated, I will arrive in time to completely surround and eliminate them! I am very optimistic about you!"

Chichai became more and more determined.The 63rd Regiment is less than [-] kilometers away from me. If I go all out, I can get there in four to five hours. At that time, I guess I am in the middle of a fierce battle with the opponent?The new force that comes out suddenly can definitely cause an extremely sudden impact on the opponent!It would be even better if the battle could be over before dawn!

He grabbed the radio and turned on the broadcast mode, and shouted passionately at half of the wing: "The most powerful army in China is not far from us. They are trying to sneak attack us. Such behavior is absolutely unforgivable! As an empire We have the responsibility to give the best soldiers a head-on blow! Now, let us work together to completely defeat them in the shortest possible time!"

"Onboard! Onboard!"

Excited cheers erupted in the temporary camp. More than 1000 people got out of tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks, waving their arms vigorously, and their enthusiastic emotions almost ignited the withering weeds!

The supplies and repairs ended in a hurry within two hours. After a short break, the confident main force of the 10th Regiment set out again, and all the tanks were divided into two large arc forward lines.With a distance of ten kilometers, huge pincers were formed first with the momentum of horns.And the precious 3rd Battalion of the towed artillery dragged the field cannons and walked in the middle and yang position. The field hospital didn't care about anything. After running for dozens of miles under the moonlight in the sky, they plunged into the undulating barren sea Great Gobi!

On the other side, the entire mountain brigade led by Wang Zhangtang had only rested for an hour or so. After the overhaul was completed, the airship troop temporarily suspended in the air, led by his "Tianqing" chariot.A regiment of tank units unloaded from the heavy-duty trucks and followed, followed by a battalion of self-propelled artillery. Surrounded by the anti-aircraft battalion, they crossed the border at night and drove into the vast Gobi.

The sky in September is faintly clear.Under the moonlight, there were wolves howling sadly one after another from time to time. The "Tianqing" chariot put away the tall electromagnetic tower, and its huge body printed continuously twisting and shaking shadows on the ground. When it rumbled past, it vibrated the sand, gravel and weathered hills within a hundred meters around it and fell straight into the dust.

A night reconnaissance plane flew across the sky like a ghost, and radio waves clearly transmitted the situation ahead observed by infrared night vision.The Japanese army divided into two groups formed an angle far away. After Wang Zhangtang saw it, he hummed disdainfully: "It came very quickly! Very good. Save me to go hundreds of kilometers to find them! Order a group, Keep the formation and give the little devil some sweetness first!"

Chief of Staff Zhao, who was in the same car, couldn't help but complain: "Are you going to take risks again? Be careful to play with fire! This is not the country, and the backup can't keep up!"

Wang Zhangtang snorted and said, "We have such powerful equipment. If we can't level the grassland, how can we have the face to go back to see Boss Zhu? Old Zhao, you are too worried!"

Zhao Guoxiang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, shook his head and sighed, and hurriedly asked the combat staff to add a few plans to prevent accidents.If you are so negligent, you will suffer sooner or later!

The desertification of the [-]-kilometer-wide Gobi Gobi is getting deeper and deeper, and the weathered and strange shapes of the bare hills blow out strange howls like ghosts crying in the rapid night wind, but none of them can hold back the heavy weight. The crisp sound of crawler tracks crushing stones.

The two battalions of the tank regiment were divided into two lines on the left and right, with a distance of five kilometers to form a large inclined triangle. The "Tianqing Chariot" in the middle was like the top of a three-pointed and two-edged knife rushing to the front, and the two bucket-thick lights were arrogant. The she is several kilometers away, and it is estimated that its traces can be found tens of kilometers away from high places.

Inside the chariot, the images scanned by the radar on the top are clearly displayed on the holographic screen, and the scene within a radius of [-] kilometers can be seen at a glance. The faces of the young high-achieving students who wear headsets to report data from time to time are all tense, facing war for the first time What they don't realize is that there are two completely different mentalities between boasting and real battles!

Two hours passed in a flash, and at 10:44 in the evening, a technical officer suddenly shouted: "Report! A Japanese military mobile reconnaissance vehicle was found ahead, the distance is 16 kilometers, and the number is 2. How to deal with it!"

Wang Zhangtang suddenly straightened up from his chair, and said with a serious smile, "What do you need to say, kill him!"

"Yes!" With a crisp response, the huge chariot stopped abruptly. While the heavy body was shaking back and forth, the huge dual-mounted main guns were gently raised about 20 degrees amidst the sound of electric current. The moment he stabilized, the operator Cao lightly pressed the red button with his delicate fingers.

"Boom!" Two combined loud noises came from outside, the vehicle body shook slightly, and two shells rushed out of the cage-shaped muzzle full of holes in a flash, heading straight into the distance!
