Republic of China game

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the North Korean winter sun gradually set.Colonel Li Guorong, head of the 24th Panzergrenadier Regiment, saw through the binoculars 2 kilometers away, a Japanese column composed of thousands of infantry, more than 100 assault guns, and hundreds of armored vehicles was slowly approaching the 81.2 highland The woods on the opposite side.No, no, the woods on the opposite side have been turned into a barren wasteland full of bomb craters by the Japanese artillery fire!

"Damn it! The Japanese tank column is coming up, hurry up and call the division headquarters! Tell Weigong (Shi Jue) that the main attack direction of the Japanese this time is the southeast!" Kishi's transfer confused the 15rd Panzergrenadier Division. The two assault gun companies originally attached to the southeast have been transferred to the southwest!What filled their vacancies was only a mighty search company equipped with 28 Min-[-] heavy armored vehicles.As soon as Li Guorong saw the Japanese armored assault group, Li Guorong immediately knew that something bad was going to happen, and couldn't help but shouted again: "Damn it! How did you let the little Japan deceive you? I really want to die this time! "

At this time, Chen Li, the regiment chief staff officer who was contacting the division headquarters by phone, suddenly put down the phone and reported loudly: "Regiment, please let us hold on for 30 minutes, the 403rd Heavy Assault Artillery Battalion will arrive soon." , they will be here soon!"

With a bang, Li Guorong slapped his thigh heavily when he heard that the 403 assault gun battalion equipped with the No. It’s a good day for the 24th Panzergrenadier Regiment to serve the country! I have stood up on the ground, whoever dares to take a step back! Don’t blame me for turning his face and denying people! Also, send power to the division headquarters and say that I am the first All the officers and soldiers of the 24th Panzergrenadier Regiment will live and die with the position!"

After finishing his beautiful words, Captain Li raised his binoculars and began to observe the dark Japanese armored assault column in front of him.At this time, the artillery group of the 97rd Panzergrenadier Division had already begun to block the shooting, and the shells exploded in the formation of the Japanese armored column like raindrops, but ordinary high-explosive shell fragments did not threaten these tanks.It's just that the infantry who accompanied the advance suffered, and were swept down piece by piece!Occasionally, a few shells directly hit the armored vehicles. A Type 150 assault vehicle was blown to pieces by a 105mm howitzer shell, and two wheeled armored vehicles were overturned to the ground by the explosion of the [-]mm howitzer. The Japanese armored soldiers were stunned on the spot.However, the entire Japanese assault column is still advancing!

Watching the Japanese assault tanks and soldiers approaching, the positions of the Chinese armored grenadiers in the "woods" also began to panic.

In the trenches in the reserve position, the officers yelled loudly: "Attention, attention, prepare to fight!" By the way, they also kicked the unresponsive soldiers, urging them to quickly move forward along the shallow communication trenches.

The forward position consisted of a trench dug hastily this morning and hundreds of large and small foxholes.More than a dozen 105mm recoilless guns and almost the same number of 57mm anti-tank guns were dragged out of the concealed bunkers and placed on several firepower points behind the front-line positions, followed by eight 8-year-old guns Heavy armored vehicles, 28mm main guns have been aimed at the front.

No anti-tank trenches were dug in front of the trenches, but there were countless tree roots left after burning. These roots were natural barriers that prevented tanks from advancing.The ground in front of the position is also full of potholes and bullet craters. It is obvious that this is the key area for Japanese bombardment. The anti-tank mines that were originally buried here have long been wiped out by Japanese artillery fire. Dozens of National Defense Army engineers are dying in the Re-mine.

boom……

When the Japanese assault tank was less than 1000 meters away from the Chinese armored grenadier position, the artillery behind the defender's position opened fire.The first thing to fire was a 60mm anti-tank gun with 57 times the caliber. This gun was imitated from the Soviet ZIS-1 anti-tank gun.Of course, the Japanese Type 1000 assault tank with thin skin and big stuffing can't resist it.

Before the sound of cannon shooting had dissipated, a ball rose up in the Japanese attacking queue!A 97 assault tank immediately caught fire, and after moving forward for a short distance in inertia, it lay motionless on the nest.Immediately afterwards, all the anti-tank guns and recoilless guns on the defenders' positions began to roar, and the shells rushed towards the Japanese tank formation like raindrops!The advancing Japanese tanks were also shot one after another and caught fire.However, the beaten Japanese tank did not stop and fire, but continued to move forward with gritted teeth.It's not because the brain is not good, but the training level of the Japanese armored forces in this time and space is eight blocks worse than that of the Chinese armored forces!At a distance of 1000 meters, the gunners of the Japanese assault tanks were not sure of hitting the target. Instead of wasting ammunition, it would be better to suffer some losses to shorten the distance.This situation of being unable to fight back only lasted for a short period of time. Hundreds of Type 97 assault tanks opened fire violently with the 57mm guns they were equipped with, and the Japanese armored vehicles that followed them also stopped and fired with machine guns. Huajun position.

This time it was the turn of the Japanese army to strafe the Chinese army's front with intensive firepower.The officers and soldiers of the Chinese army couldn't lift their heads at all, and the anti-aircraft artillery and recoilless guns deployed behind the positions were also destroyed by Japanese firepower.The 8 Min-28 armored vehicles became the main targets of the Japanese assault artillery. After less than 10 minutes of the artillery battle, 4 of them were shot and caught fire, burning up on the battlefield!Seeing that the firepower of the Chinese army had been suppressed, the Japanese armored column resumed its advance. Assault guns roared forward, and the accompanying infantry even charged forward with bayonet-mounted rifles.

But when the Japanese assault guns approached the front of the Chinese army, they ran over anti-tank mines and exploded!Then it was bombarded by the remaining anti-tank artillery of the Chinese army, and the infantry in the trenches of the Chinese army continued to use automatic rifles, mortars and machine guns to shoot at the Japanese infantry accompanying the assault tanks.The Japanese tanks, which were frustrated in their attack, stopped advancing again and used artillery to support the infantry's charge.Soon the Japanese infantry, which had an overwhelming numerical advantage, rushed into the first trench of the Chinese army, and a tragic close combat ensued.

The reason why it is said to be close combat rather than hand-to-hand combat is that the standard equipment of the Chinese armored grenadiers defending positions is not a rifle with a long bayonet, but a Min 25 automatic rifle.This automatic rifle is similar to the Ak-47 in history. It uses a 7.62mm intermediate power bullet and has very powerful firepower, but it is not as good as the 1.7-meter-long Type 38 rifle (including the bayonet) when it is assembled with a bayonet.Therefore, the Chinese armored grenadiers simply gave up the idea of ​​fighting for stabbing, and just "suddenly" fired wildly with the automatic rifle in their hands!At the same time, the Chinese army's howitzers deployed in Yunshan City also concentrated their firepower to cover the forward positions of the Chinese army, blocking the way for the Japanese army's follow-up troops to reinforce.In a short while, all the Japanese troops who broke into the position were wiped out.Subsequently, the Chinese and Japanese armies began to shoot each other at a distance of 500 to [-] meters, and the battle gradually reached a stalemate.

Inside the forward command post, the assault of the armored cluster was blocked by the Chinese army.General Yoshida was sweating profusely there, picked up the phone, and gritted his teeth to give Hoshino Toshimoto an order: "Assault! Give me a surprise attack! Don't be afraid of losses, give me a surprise attack at all costs! Order the infantry to follow up, give me a surprise attack!" I rush!"

Shi Jue, the commander of the 24rd Armored Grenadier Division, was already sitting in Li Guorong's command post, holding up his binoculars to watch the battle at the foot of the mountain.Watching the Japanese tanks, armored vehicles and infantry screaming in the brigade, braved the bullets of the Chinese army, rushed through a minefield hastily arranged with anti-tank mines, and launched a desperate attack. The front position of the 2nd Battalion of the 3th Panzergrenadier Regiment has been broken through, and the 105rd Battalion as a reserve has also arrived there in half-track armored vehicles, and is using the 57mm recoilless guns and [-]mm anti-tank guns on the half-track armored vehicles to simultaneously Japanese assault vehicles exchange fire!Whether it is a Chinese half-track armored vehicle or a Japanese assault tank, they are all typical small vehicles carrying cannons. Their firepower is far stronger than their defense. As long as they are hit by the opponent's shells, they will turn into a burning fireball on the spot!

"Where are the 403rd Battalion and the 25st Battalion of the 1th Regiment? These bastards should have climbed there!" Shi Jue was impatient, and couldn't help cursing and asking about the situation of the reinforcements.

"It's almost there, it's almost here." Behind Shi Jue, a senior division staff officer was also sweating profusely, and kept raising his hand to check the time. "Five minutes, five minutes at most, they'll be here."

"Damn it, it's been 5 minutes! If they don't show up in another 5 minutes, I will..."

While talking, I saw the Japanese tanks on the battlefield suddenly exploded one after another!

"It's here! It must be our heavy assault artillery battalion!"

"This time, let Little Japan know how powerful he is!"

装甲掷弹兵24团的指挥所里顿时就是一片欢呼。60多辆装备着88mm加农炮，拥有110mm呈斜角布置的正面装甲的三号重突击炮可不是闹着玩的！这种武器就算是威名赫赫的四号重坦克见了也肯定是一阵头皮发麻，何况是小日本的这些皮薄馅大的97式突击战车呢？

The fierce confrontation on the battlefield quickly turned into a one-sided massacre!The Japanese tanks were shot and exploded one after another, turning into a pile of scattered parts.Seeing that the general situation was over, Toshimoto Hoshino had no choice but to give the order to retreat. The surviving Type 97 assault tanks reversed and retreated at full power, but the Japanese infantry came forward and charged forward with strange screams. Naturally, they were beaten into blood gourds However, their suicide charge temporarily blocked the pursuit of Chinese assault guns and armored grenadiers, allowing dozens of 97-type assault guns, more wheeled armored vehicles, and infantry who turned around and fled to escape. .

This round of fierce fighting won nearly two and a half hours of rest time for the Chinese armored grenadiers.After 7:30 in the evening, the Japanese artillery shells exploded again in the Yunshan front line position.This time it seems to be a 150mm caliber heavy artillery. The explosion is so powerful that it can blast a gap of more than ten meters in the defender's position with a single roar!It seems that the reinforcements of the Japanese army have already felt it.

Shi Jue felt something was wrong when he saw this posture, and looked at the battlefield ahead with red eyes motionless.It's time for the Japanese Zero assault gun to come up this time!He quickly issued an order: "Strengthen the remaining two battalions of the 25th Regiment to the southeast and southwest defense lines. Organize all the miscellaneous personnel of the division headquarters and form a reserve team. Then send a power to Commander Xu to urge reinforcements!"

At this time, Li Guorong had reached the forest position opposite the 81.2 highland. The terrain here was relatively flat, and it was probably the focus of the breakthrough of the Japanese armored forces. He, the regiment leader, could only stand here.This burst of shells hit, and the fierce firepower crushed the defenders so that they could not move.Including the reserve position, the entire defensive area was covered by overwhelming firepower!Many armored grenadiers who avoided artillery in the trenches of the reserve position were killed by the raining Japanese artillery shells.

Before the smoke of the gunfire cleared, a shock column of Japanese tanks and infantry rushed up.The leader this time is indeed the Japanese Type Zero assault tank, which is seven or eight points similar to China's No. 100 assault gun! More than 97 Type Zero and Type 105 assault vehicles formed a wedge formation and roared over.Around these chariots are densely packed Japanese infantry, shouting the slogan "onboard! Onboard!" and charged forward!There are also a dozen self-propelled artillery equipped with [-]mm cannons that also fired up, shelling non-stop behind the Japanese assault column.

The 62 No. 88 heavy assault guns on the position opened fire at the same time, and the sound of the salvo of the 88mm cannons was continuous, as if there were countless thunderbolts ringing in the ears at the same time.However, when the Chinese panzergrenadiers heard it, it was like the sound of nature.With the help of the bright light of the flares rising into the sky, the 2000mm gun of the No. 48 assault gun began to fire at a long distance of about 75 meters, turning the Japanese tanks rushing ahead into flaming torches.But such fierce firepower did not stop the half-crazed Japanese army, and the assault guns that were not hit all charged at full power!After trying to close the distance, they counterattacked with their 1000mm cannons of [-] times the caliber.After paying the price of thirty or forty tanks being destroyed, the Japanese assault tanks finally narrowed the distance between the two sides to about [-] meters.However, just when these Japanese assault tanks had just stopped and were about to look for targets to aim at, a burst of thick smoke suddenly rose from the opposite Chinese assault gun positions, and then only the roar of motors was heard. Started backing up...

Chapter 0966 Korean War (23) God, this is a flying tank!

In the case of heavy casualties, the Japanese offensive continued. The first trench of the "forest position" has been captured by the surging Japanese army.Dozens of assault guns that can still move are still rumbling forward.Their huge and cumbersome bodies exposed to flares undoubtedly became the best targets for the Chinese No. 60 Heavy Assault Gun, which was fighting and retreating. After each angry shot of more than 88 [-]mm cannons, there will be a few more burning chariot wrecks on the battlefield!However, such a loss is not enough to stop the crazy Japanese offensive. Thousands of Japanese soldiers rushed forward with bayonet-mounted rifles and a submachine gun that appeared on the battlefield for the first time. .

Soon the Chinese assault guns retreated to the rear of the reserve position and stopped the wheels, because there was no way to retreat.Not far behind is the low and dilapidated city wall of Yunshan. A battalion of 150mm self-propelled artillery was lined up under the city wall, firing desperately to provide fire support for the front line.

However, at this time, the Japanese armored assault column has also been at the end of its battle. Of the more than 100 assault vehicles invested, less than 400 are still charging forward, and the rest have all turned into a pile of burning wreckage!General Yoshida Yoshida, the commander of the Japanese Mecha Corps who was watching the battle from behind, was almost bleeding from his eyes!But in one day, under the attack of the Chinese air and ground firepower, his mech army has lost nearly [-] tanks of various types!Infantry losses have been too great to count.And the genuine Chinese armored division hasn't shown up yet, it's just a panzergrenadier division filled with water fighting with itself!

At this time, a signal flare indicating retreat was fired by the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army on the battlefield.The remaining 20 or so assault tanks covered two or three thousand infantry and slowly retreated to the trenches they had just captured, which would become the starting position for the next wave of Japanese offensives.After paying an unimaginable price, they finally had a breakthrough.

"Air attack! Air attack! Hurry up and hide..."

Just retreated to the new starting position, before the Japanese army had time to catch their breath, they ushered in the night tactical air strike launched by the Chinese Air Force!Countless flares fell from the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were daytime.A series of signal flares were launched from the 81.2 highland and the second line of defense of the "forest position" into the sky above the Japanese army.

"Letou, we found the target. There is a Japanese armored group at 6 o'clock below." The voice of the Bf-110 pilot who was in charge of the reconnaissance mission came from Lieutenant Colonel Le Yiqin's headset.

"Do you see clearly? The black lights below are not our own tanks." Le Yiqin is driving a single-seat, twin-engine A-5 Thunder anti-tank attack aircraft!There are 16 of these latest anti-tank attack aircraft in the attack aircraft squadron under his command.

This A-5 anti-tank attack aircraft has two 1700-horsepower BMW-801 engines, the entire fuselage is wrapped in thick armor, and the take-off weight is close to 10 tons. The 50mm anti-tank gun in the belly!The purpose of developing this aircraft is only one, and that is anti-tank.Originally, the imaginary enemy of this amazingly powerful anti-tank attack aircraft was a powerful German armored group!The only First Attack Aviation Regiment of the National Defense Forces Air Force equipped with A-5 Thunder attack aircraft is also deployed at the Karaganda Air Force Base in Kazakhstan, an autonomous territory of Central Asia, ready to intervene in a possible "Russian-German War" until early December. Secretly transferred to the Anton Army Air Force Base in Liaoning Province.However, it has been hidden by the Air Force of the National Defense Forces and did not appear. It was not sent to the battlefield until tonight, replacing the A-12 dive bomber to clean up the Japanese armored forces.

"Letou, put your heart in your stomach. It's not a day or two for us to be in charge of night reconnaissance." Lieutenant Zhou Zhiguo was driving the Bf-110.He has been a night pilot since he flew this twin-engine heavy fighter.It's not night reconnaissance, night escort is simply hanging up bombs to carry out night bombing missions, and they have long cultivated a pair of golden eyes that can see through the night sky.

Under the guidance of the signal flares of the ground troops, he quickly discovered the Japanese armor cluster on the ground, and then a series of flares were fired.The Japanese soldiers below seemed to know that something was wrong, they hurriedly found smoke bombs and threw them around the big assault tanks, and fired into the air desperately with their rifles, light machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.At this moment, the roar of rumbling engines was heard in the sky, and more than a dozen ugly twin-engine planes emerged from the night sky, rushed to the low altitude, and shuttled through the fire net formed by the Japanese army's ground firepower.Those small-caliber rifle and machine gun bullets just burst out a series of sparks when they hit the fuselage of these planes, and the paint didn't even rub off much!

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Another thing that made these Japanese soldiers unbelievable happened, the plane circling in the sky actually started firing!The Chinese even installed cannons on their planes, and now there are more than a dozen planes with cannons firing wildly above the heads of the Japanese armored clusters!A string of shells with orange-red tail flames roared and flew towards the thin top armor of the Type 97 or Type 50 assault vehicle. The [-]mm armor-piercing bullets were like a can opener, and they were easily pried open. The tops of Japanese tanks, turning them into heaps of flaming steel wreckage.

"We are being bombarded by Chinese planes! China's planes are firing like my tanks... My God, is this the end of the Japanese armored forces?" Hoshino Toshinaka, head of the [-]st Tank Division commanding operations at the front Will already be covered in sweat.He picked up the phone and called Yoshida, the commander of the Mecha Army, with despair in his voice: "Your Excellency, we are finished! We are finished... The Chinese people fired at us from the air, what should we do? What should we do! "

Yoshida had already witnessed the disaster through the telescope, but he didn't know what to do.The Japanese Army Aviation has no night combat capability at all, otherwise the large and medium-sized cities in Japan would not be set on fire by Chinese planes flying over every night!The small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns equipped by the Mech Army seemed to have little effect on this kind of low-flying Chinese aircraft, and none of them were shot down after fighting for a long time.While Yoshida was racking his brains and didn't know what to do, the Chief of Staff Terada Masahuka was already screaming.

"Your Excellency, General! It's not good, on the road... our armored group is still marching! There are still thousands of tanks and armored vehicles marching!"

……

On the road from the south of the Qingchuan River to Yunshan, the lights of the cars flashed, and the convoy of tanks, assault vehicles, and armored vehicles stretched for more than ten kilometers. On the hillsides and fields on both sides of the road, countless Japanese infantry were like a torrent. Like surging forward.

Suddenly, there was a slight buzzing sound in the sky, and a shrill whistle sounded. The entire convoy immediately turned off the lights, and all the torches in the hands of the infantrymen in the mountains were also extinguished, and the entire land returned to darkness.The sound of the aircraft engine became louder and louder from far to near, and finally seemed to be hovering above the head!Suddenly a flare lit up in mid-air, illuminating the Japanese convoy that was still advancing cautiously on the road below!Then more flares fell, floating in the sky, illuminating the ground brightly.

A burst of "dong dong dong" gunfire came from mid-air, and dozens of dark red streams of fire fell from the sky, sweeping across the convoy of Japanese troops crowded on the road, a series of explosions sounded, and a dozen regiments appeared on the road suddenly. Burning fireball.

"Flak! Fire! Fire!"

Following the command in Japanese, the vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns that drove in with the convoy immediately reacted and began to spray fire into the air, and the beams of more than a dozen searchlights also moved around in the air, looking for the shadow of the Chinese aircraft .Soon, an ugly plane with two engines and a long gun barrel protruding from the belly was locked on by the searchlight.Countless tiny rays of light rushed towards the plane at an extremely fast speed.But what happened next stunned the tens of thousands of Japanese who were watching the battle.

Not only was the Chinese plane not shot down by the intensive anti-aircraft fire, but instead it shuttled back and forth in streams of fire, firing continuously at the Japanese vehicles below, setting one Japanese tank after another on fire.

"Oh my god! This is a flying tank! The Chinese have put wings on the tank, what should we do now!" Someone suddenly shouted, calling out tens of thousands of stunned Japanese officers and soldiers on the battlefield voice of the heart.

What should I do!The Chinese tanks can fly!How could the Chinese have such terrifying weapons!Against such an enemy, is there any hope of victory for the Japanese Empire?Could it be that God Amaterasu has abandoned her descendants, and the end of the Great Japanese Empire is coming?

The bombardment from the air lasted for about half an hour. By the time these "flying tanks" patted their buttocks and left, the roads were already filled with the wreckage of various vehicles that were still burning, and the hillsides and fields were full of Infantry with desperate expressions on their faces.

"Chinese tanks can fly! I, a stand-up team member, can't fly up." On the side of the road, an elderly stand-up team member held a Molotov cocktail in his hand, sat on the ground, and stared at the burning tank. Che, muttering to himself with a wry smile. "For the sake of the empire, for the sake of the emperor, I don't need my wife and children, and I don't need my life, but I can't fly. How can I die with the tanks flying in the sky? My lord, what should I do?"

……

In the South Pacific, the Nagato, the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet.
