Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

These Japanese soldiers are no match for the Dragon Soul Special Forces.

Puff puff......

The Japanese soldiers fell one after another.

The Dragon Soul team members used accurate shooting and quickly eliminated the dozen or so Japanese devils.

Among them, Sadaichi Yoshimoto and Saburo Okazaki were shot to death in the melee.

It was the most pathetic way to die.

You know, Yoshimoto Sadaichi was a Japanese general-level officer.

According to the Japanese military rank system, they are major general, lieutenant general and general, and the next highest is marshal.

Yoshimoto Sadaichi held the rank of general, which was a very high military rank.

Moreover, Yoshimoto Sadaichi had a very high prestige among the Japanese army soldiers because he was awarded the First Class Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun and the Second Class Order of the Gold Kookaburra.

The Order of the Golden Kite was established by the Japanese on February 1890, 2. It was divided into seven levels and was the only medal awarded by the Japanese to soldiers, military dependents, etc. in the army and navy.

The name "Jinqiu" comes from mythology.

It is said that when Emperor Jimmu was on the Eastern Expedition, his bow stopped a golden-glowing eagle, which eventually confused the "Nagazuhiko" army and enabled Emperor Jimmu to achieve victory.

There are seven levels of the Order of the Golden Kite, from "Meritorious Service Level 1" to "Meritorious Service Level 7", and the medal is represented by the level of merit, and is only awarded to soldiers with military merit. Generals and royal family members will not receive the Order of the Golden Kite if they have no military merit.

It can be seen that it is a great honor and a great thing for Sadaichi Yoshimoto to receive the Order of the Golden Kite.

But now Yoshimoto Sadaichi was shot to death by the Dragon Soul Special Forces. It was a very shameful death.

With the death of Yoshimoto Sadaichi, this became the highest-ranking officer killed by the Japanese on the battlefield since the outbreak of the War of Resistance.

In addition to Yoshimoto Sadaichi, there is also the old Japanese lieutenant general Saburo Okazaki.

A general and a lieutenant general...these are two big fish!

In many battles, many Japanese commanders were lieutenant generals or major generals.

But for a general like Yoshimoto Sadaichi to be the commander of a division, it was a bit of an underappreciated position.

At the same time, it also shows the importance and eliteness of the Second Division, otherwise Yoshimoto Sadakazu, who holds the rank of general, would not have been assigned to serve as the division commander.

But now Yoshimoto Sadaichi is dead.

After getting rid of these dozen Japanese soldiers, Chen Zhengguo led his troops forward to check the situation, and directly shot those Japanese soldiers who were not dead yet.

Soon, Chen Zhengguo saw the bodies of Sadaichi Yoshimoto and Saburo Okazaki.

Looking at the bodies of the two men, Chen Zhengguo shook his head and said, "What a pity, these two old devils were shot to death like this. If we had captured them alive, we would have made a lot of contributions."

After saying that, Chen Zhengguo squatted down and directly tore off their military rank shoulder straps and chest plates.

"Kill them. We must not let the Japanese from the Second Division Headquarters escape."

The Japanese officers in the Second Division Command are all big fish, so naturally no one can slip through the net.

Under the fierce bombardment of the artillery company, coupled with the tacit cooperation of the Dragon Soul Special Forces and the Ghost Team, none of the Japanese officers and soldiers of the Second Division Command could escape and were killed one after another.

at the same time.

In the second defensive position of the Second Division.

The Japanese soldiers on the second line of defense were also aware of the attack on the Second Division's temporary command post. They were very shocked. They did not expect that the command post would be hit by such precise artillery fire.

The Japanese from the 29th and 31st Regiments wanted to go back to reinforce the headquarters.

But at this time the artillery company's bombing came.

Yang Zhihua dispatched a part of the M2A1 105 caliber howitzers to bombard the temporary command post of the Second Division, but most of the artillery was aimed at the Japanese's second line of defense fortifications.

"fire!"

Following Yang Zhihua's order, more than 30 artillery pieces of various types bombarded the Japanese's second line of defense fortifications.

dong dong dong...

swish swish...  

Rumble...

Rumble…

One shell after another hit the Japanese's second line of defense, causing bursts of loud explosions.

Explosions rang out, and Yahong's flames suddenly appeared, illuminating the night sky.

The sudden artillery bombardment made it quite uncomfortable for the Japanese soldiers in the second line of defense.

Some Japanese soldiers were unable to dodge and were blown away instantly.

Some Japanese soldiers would be hit by shrapnel produced by the exploding artillery shells even if they hid in bunkers.

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

The explosions of artillery shells continued to destroy their fortifications and bunkers.

It was still night time.

But the independent battalion had already planned to launch a general offensive.

While the artillery company was bombarding the Japanese's second line of defense, the tank company and the independent battalion also launched an attack on them.

buzzing...

Huhuhu......

The engine roared.

In front are two Sherman M4 tanks, followed by two PET tanks.

The soldiers of the independent battalion followed the tanks and advanced forward quickly.

Very mature infantry-tank coordination tactics.

With the tacit cooperation between infantry and tanks, the speed and sharpness of the entire attack were extremely sharp.

The infantry-tank coordinated attack team composed of the tank company and the independent battalion was like a knife, a sharp knife used to tear open the Japanese's second line of defense.

Close combat and night combat are the specialties of the independent battalion.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the tank company and the independent battalion were less than 500 meters away from the Japanese defensive positions.

At this point, the artillery fire stopped.

The Japanese soldiers in the trenches of the second line of defense came to their senses, looked up, and saw a troop advancing rapidly in the night.

These people panicked.

"Kill Jiji! Open fire, shoot!"

The Japanese front-line commander immediately took command of the battle.

The Japanese soldiers, who were dazed and disoriented by the explosion, picked up their weapons and opened fire at the tanks of the independent battalion.

It doesn't matter whether you aim accurately or not.

It was just a series of rumbling noises.

810 for a moment.

Gunfire rang out.

clap clap clap...

bang bang bang...

Da da da......

Bullets were flying.

One after another, the scorching bullets flew towards the soldiers and tanks of the independent battalion.

Bang... snap...

The Japanese's rifles, light machine guns and heavy machine guns basically could not cause much damage to the Sherman M4 tanks.

The armor of the Douding tank has also been strengthened, so even if it encounters a concentrated fire attack by the Japanese, it cannot penetrate the steel plate.

Therefore, the Japanese could not stop the tanks of the independent battalion at all.

However, quite a few soldiers from the independent brigade near the tanks were hit by bullets and fell to the ground and died instantly.

buzzing...

Huhuhu......

Two Sherman M4 tanks and two Bean tanks continued to advance forward, while their turrets kept moving, bombarding the Japanese light and heavy machine gun fire points.

dong dong dong...

Rumble...

The tank guns continued to bombard and destroyed many of the Japanese's light and heavy machine gun fire points.

At the same time, the onboard machine guns opened fire at the Japanese in the trench positions.

Da da da......

The machine gun on the tank turret kept spitting out flames and bullets kept flying towards the Japanese, taking their lives.

"Hit me!"

"Warriors, the opportunity to make achievements has come, fight!"

Li Dabenshi roared.

Immediately, the soldiers of the independent battalion also opened fire.

The M1 Garand rifle in his hand continued to spew out flames, and dense bullets flew towards the Japanese position trenches.

Da da da......

chug chu...

clap clap clap...

The two sides were engaged in fierce fighting.

A hail of bullets.

Bullets were flying.

With the cover of four tanks and the cooperation of the independent brigade, the infantry-tank coordinated tactics were to attack the second line of defense of the second division directly...

Chapter 435: Completely annihilating the Second Division, a military achievement that made the whole country excited (the third update, please subscribe)

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

Da da da……

The two sides fought a very fierce battle.

Although the tank company and independent battalion are small in number, they are advancing rapidly relying on mature infantry-tank coordination tactics!

Nearly.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters.

The Japanese attacked the tanks frantically, but they had no professional anti-tank weapons, let alone encountering a tank with excellent performance like the Sherman M4 tank, so they were completely helpless.

"Kill Jiji! Fire!"

A lieutenant colonel Japanese commander drew his sword and directed the battle.

bang...

Phew...

But the next second, the lieutenant colonel Japanese soldier was shot in the head.

This is the Ghost Team's masterpiece.
