Tune the Pacific

Chapter 609 Wanli Iron Pliers 2

February 1, 1916, Elreal, Panamanian border.

"Cannonball!"

Zeng Laosan kicked the nearest empty ammunition box and was greeting the back to bring up the shell quickly. Suddenly, he felt a buzz above his head, and five American version of the Camel F1 fighters appeared in sight.

"Machine gun!"

In Zeng Laosan's greeting, the 7.62mm light machine gun and 12.7mm heavy machine gun roared at the same time. The manic bullet formed a barrage over the artillery position. In an instant, the three camels who tried to rush over to drop the bomb were swept into a sieve. The other one fled back in a panic before it was dropped. There was only one. Fortunately, he passed through the air defense network and dropped bombs over the position.

Looking at the bomb, the artillerymen, including Zeng Laosan, fell down one after another. Fortunately, the small bomb used by the Americans was so powerful that there was no trace after a black smoke. However, this brave guy was also unlucky. He was penetrated into the cockpit by a few bullets and died before it fell to the ground.

Seeing that the four aircraft were knocked down, Mr. Zeng spat fiercely. Unlike the sky occupied in other war zones, the conditions in the Panama war zone are too poor. Colombia behind has almost no industrial foundation, and the gasoline used in the car can only be barely enough. Not to mention efficient aviation gasoline, the long transport line at sea will face the neck of the U.S. Navy. Son, so in addition to a few reconnaissance seaplanes in the Colombian naval base, at present, I can only watch the Americans "lay eggs" on my side.

Fortunately, I brought enough machine guns before departure. With the slow speed and small bombs of the American classic machine, as long as there are not hundreds of them at a time, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Enemy aircraft."

Zeng Laosan muttered a few times that he was about to return to the bunker, but the warning sounded again. Just as he was about to see that the blind man dared to fly over, he was suddenly stunned and slapped himself in the mouth.

"Damn it, I'm such a crow's mouth!"

At the edge of the sky, a black plane poured in, at least dozens of planes, which scared everyone and hurriedly retreated into the bunker, and the machine gunners were even more open-eyed and ready to do a big job.

"Fire!"

With a shout, the big viper machine gun on the 12 night owls of the artillery regiment was the first to spit out the tongue of fire. Because ten bullets were mixed with a flare of alignment, you can see the fire in the sky even during the day.

Looking down from the sky, the Xinhua artillery position hidden on the edge of the rainforest was like a bombed nest. Countless tongues of fire rushed out from under the dense leaves. However, this time the American pilot learned to be obedient and flew 5,000 meters in one go. This distance was not enough even for a big poisonous snake, but although the bomb was successfully completed, This small bomb that fell at a height is really outrageous.

A mass explosion rose from the dense forest. A moment later, the American aircraft that had completed the bomb drop left. Zeng Laosan stared fiercely and stuffed a 105mm shell into the gun.

"Rumble."

The artillerymen, who had been silent for more than ten minutes, roared again. 48 105mm howitzers kept pouring shells on Erreal a few kilometers away, but the dense jungle made the shelling effect not very good.

Although the Japanese soldiers in charge of the attack were supported by shells, the dense jungle covered most of the targets. The U.S. military recently strengthened the number of machine guns, so the troops had to make a lot of sacrifices every step forward.

This scene made Cai E frown.

He joined the army in 1904, joined the Marine Corps in 1906, and became the commander of the colonel in 1912. He took an ordinary and down-to-earth road. It was precisely because of this down-to-earth surname that he was awarded this difficult task before the war. He led the third division of the Marine Corps to the strange Colombia, far away from the motherland. Central and South America, thousands of miles away, commanded a multinational coalition.

and other war zones are nominally called the Allies. In fact, it is mainly attacked by Xinhua. At present, it is indeed a multinational force in the Panama zone. The third division of the Royal Marine Corps of Xinhua, the first division of the Japanese army, the third division of the Korean army, and the third division of the Colombian second army.

It is very difficult to organize 80,000 troops from four countries with different levels of combat effectiveness and a variety of equipment. Fortunately, Xinhua, Japan and North Korea are all from one region, and the equipment is also all equipped in China, but the Colombian army is much more miscellaneous. Many soldiers even took it before the war. With a big knife, bow and arrow, he didn't complete gun and shooting training until recently.

And the roads and environment here are really bad. It took a whole month to drive the road in the 30 kilometers of primitive rainforest area on the border between Colombia and Panama. At least 1,000 soldiers died of illness and accidents along the way.

If it's not easy to get out of the jungle, you will face the first pass after entering Panama, Elreal.

Elreal is located in the middle of Daren Province in southern Panama. It is a strategic road from the south into Panama. Before the war, the U.S. military deployed about 5,000 people here, and now it has increased to 20,000. In addition, the roads are rugged and the rainforest is lush, which is a difficult bone to eat.

It is definitely not enough to rely on this kind of artillery alone. The Marine Corps is a light unit, not equipped with a heavy 152mm self-propelled howitzer, coupled with the lack of air cover, if the troops do not move for a long time, it will become the target of American pilots.

"Major Yamano."

"Hi!" Major Yamano thought he was going to accept criticism, so he quickly lowered his head.

The person named by Cai E was Yamano, the commander of the first division of the Japanese army. He used to be the captain of the Japanese Osaka United. He retired briefly after the failure of the war. It was not until the New Deal Axe reorganized the army that he returned to the army and became the commander of the first division because of his outstanding performance.

Like all Japanese soldiers, he has a lot of stubbornness. In fact, this kind of strength is in every East Asian soldier, but it is particularly obvious because of the sense of danger of the island. Since the end of the war, many people have thought that Japan will become slaves, but with the relationship between Xinhua and Japan gradually became positive. Changhua, coupled with the land reform carried out by Wang Shizhen in Japan, made Japan out of the shogunate politics and gradually began to regain its vitality.

It is originally a strange nation. The worship of the strong is the heavenly surname of this country. From the Han and Tang Dynasties to the end of the Song Dynasty, they were almost all the best ministers of China. Only in modern times did they begin to be dissatisfied with themselves because they saw the cannon ships of the foreigners and entered the road of no return instigation of militarism.

After Li Mo's appearance and the chaos in Asian history, the military nationalists were almost slaughtered, making the Japanese return to the previous path. The new generation of politicians are even more clear that the only way at this moment is to follow Xinhua so that there is hope to join the future prosperity of Asia. Therefore, it was the first country to promise Xinhua to send troops to participate in the war, even more active than North Korea, and imitated the Xinhua army model. At a time, 10 divisions were formed and handed over to the leadership of Xinhua General Staff.

Cai E looked at the mountains and fields around him as if they were waiting for guilt and admitting their mistakes. He bent the corners of his mouth slightly and pointed to Elreal on the map and said, "Major Yamano, on your left is a regiment on your left, and on the right is a division of the Colombian army. They have helped you drag down 10,000 U.S. troops, so you should It's time to keep rushing forward instead of dragging in place!"

Yamano looked at the thick red defense line in front of Erreal, and he also had difficulties in his heart. Not to mention that there were 10,000 U.S. troops gathered here. A large number of machine guns recently equipped by the United States alone made his troops bleed, but it was true that he did not complete the task, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "Colonel, please rest assured, night. I will definitely open the channel before!"

"Ha ha." Seeing the expression of Yamano as if he was going to death, Cai E patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Shao Yamano, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who casually sacrifices the lives of Japanese soldiers. My armored battalion will help you open the way!"

"Armoured Battalion!"

As soon as he heard Cai E's words, Yamano's confidence suddenly increased. He knew that the Marine Corps's armored battalion was powerful. Those latest models of tanks were simply infantry killers. With them, it would be much smoother to open the way.

" By the way, I heard that you don't have your own car, Major Yamano?"

Yamano suddenly looked embarrassed. He was not as rich as Xinhua. Although some of the military expenses and equipment were provided by Xinhua and could also get war dividends in the future, he is currently shy. Even unarmed jeeps are still luxury goods. As for the wild cat armored vehicles used by Xinhua officers, they have just been equipped with one in China. Battalion, an officer like him probably won't be able to end the war.

"Xiao Zhang, go and transfer a wild cat as a gift from me to Major Yamano."

Cai E's voice immediately made several North Korean and Ecuadorian staff officers and officers in the headquarters enthusiastic. Every time they saw the flexible and small wild cat armored car, they were envious and eager to have one, but the officers clenched their fists excitedly.

Yamano is even more stunned. This is a great honor!

A moment later, a wild cat with a light machine gun stopped at the entrance of the command department. Looking at the brand-new armored car, Cai E smiled and said, "Major Yamano, it's yours."

"major!"

"Hehe, don't thank me. This is the treatment that Allied command officers should have, if you really want to thank me." When Cai E said this, he suddenly stopped, glanced around and whispered, "Panama is the lifeline of Asia and the Pacific Ocean, which is related to the security and interests of all Pacific countries, including Japan!

As far as I know, in order to build the canal, nearly 5,000 Japanese and our Chinese workers were enslaved here, so this canal should not be mastered by white people, and even the Americans should not intervene too deeply.

We need a clean Panama!"

Clean up!

A cold light exploded in Yamano's eyes, and an indescribable sense of bloodthirsty suddenly surged in the bottom of my heart. It was so simple!

More than ten minutes later, when the mountain field returned to the Japanese army command camp with the wild cat, it almost detonated the whole barracks. All the Japanese soldiers and officers were envious of their eyes and turned red, and they couldn't wait to sit on and experience it in person.

However, half an hour later, the Japanese soldier was even more dumbfounded. He only saw dozens of cheetah M3 tanks with thick armor appearing outside the camp. Before they understood why the tanks regarded as treasures by the New Chinese would drive here, the new car in the mountains and fields were already surrounded by the army. Officer.

"Gentlemen, this battle is related to the safety of my future and future Asia. Colonel Cai E has sent his tank battalion to support us. I hope everyone will fight to the death!"

"We don't need prisoners! We must open the road to Elreal before night!"

"Hi!"

"Le Charge, through the jungle, the enemy is ahead!" On the command car, the mountains shouted enthusiastically, and more than 10,000 soldiers followed 48 cheetah tanks and plunged into the dense rainforest.
