Chapter 224 The Frenzy of Nanjing Defense War

The Type 95 light tank of the Japanese Army is indeed the best among the tanks I designed and manufactured in mass production. Due to the considerable shortage of resources, it mainly relies on the use of scrap steel purchased from the United States to support the consumption of the war.

For me, who regards submachine guns as an ordnance luxury, it is easy for me to make three, fifty tons or even heavier chariots in Europe and the United States. The comprehensive surname of the Army's Type 95 chariots is really good, but in the face of the German 37mm anti-tank gun and the 20mm anti-tank gun. In terms of rifles, the Type 95 tank is still a thin tin can after all.

When the military Butan mixed attack team entered 200 meters, with a row of illumination bombs in the front position, a pale light shone on the ground, which caught the Japanese army's attacking troops off guard. The artillery group on Niushou Mountain and the anti-tank gun position on the mountainside began to shell the Japanese army.

In the roaring explosion, the remnants of the Japanese soldiers flew into the sky, and the concentrated Type 95 light chariots rushed into the Japanese army's infantry with flames and customary surnames. In the screams, the burning chariot listened.

The Japanese army, which was blocked by artillery, began to speed up its attack, and the Type 95 light chariots also rushed to the Chinese garrison position at the foot of the mountain like a runny wild horse, because the Japanese army's chariots were very clear. If they still covered the infantry at a low speed, I'm afraid that all the chariots would be Destroyed, because there are at least dozens of anti-war vehicle gun positions on the opposite mountainside.

The Japanese army behind the chariot has just lost its cover. Under the double killing of artillery fire and the garrison's heavy machine gun, it fell to the ground like cutting wheat. The Japanese military officers waving the command knife are trying their best to maintain the offensive formation, because I know that once this attack fails, it is equivalent to giving [* **] The opportunity to adjust the deployment, the previous half-hour fierce gunfire completely lost its effectiveness.

Although the speed of the Japanese military chariots in the attack accelerated, in the face of intensive anti-war vehicle firepower, the Japanese military chariots were still hit and penetrated one by one, just like the zero-type lighter in the air, and the Type 95 chariots of the Japanese Army also seemed to be particularly willing to catch fire? Almost every Type 95 chariot hit caught fire, and occasionally Japanese chariot soldiers covered with fire climbed out of the chariot and screamed and rolled on the ground until they were hit by bullets.

In less than ten minutes, after the five-wheel of flares, the 22 Type 95 chariots of the Nojima Brigade all became burning bonfires, and the officers and soldiers passing by the burning chariots also became obvious targets. Constantly some soldiers were hit and fell to the ground. The Japanese army's tactics of using chariots to guide the infantry to attack were also After a certain amount of drills and cooperation, but in the various training plans of the Japanese army, not all of their chariots have been destroyed.

Futian Shinji was also stunned by the scene in front of him. Although he repeatedly warned himself not to despise the special troops of the Rehe Legion in [***], there was information that it was a brigade of the troops transferred to Nanjing that defended Niushou Mountain, and there were at least two pieces of equipment in the direction of Jiangjun Mountain. The excellent [***] brigade is in defense.

The fierce fire projection density of the Rehe Legion stunned Shinji Fukuda. The two infantry brigades he put in were completely exposed to the firepower of [***]. The retreating route of the troops has been completely blocked by the opponent's mountain artillery firepower, and at the foot of Niushou Mountain [ ***] There are at least 30 heavy machine gun fire points on the ring position, and the light machine guns in the middle are not included.

"Eight grids!" Shinji Fukuda turned around and looked at Major General Sasaki, the commander of the 30th Infantry Brigade with a solemn expression not far away. Sasaki stood there with a cold face and no expression on his face. It was not like his army that was slaughtered by the Chinese defenders.

Fukuda Shinji pulled out his samurai sword and took a deep breath and said, "The warriors of this empire, the honor of the 33rd Infantry Regiment is won by the seniors during the Russian War. We must not lose anything in our hands. The time has come to sacrifice for His Majesty the Emperor! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Empire! Go!" (Let's go

"Mr. Futian, please calm down!" Sasaki, who was cold, stared at Fukuda Shinji and continued coldly, "You are wasting the lives of soldiers. As commanders, we have dedicated ourselves to this great jihad. We have long been determined to dedicate ourselves to His Majesty the Emperor, but we also have to sacrifice value. You let your soldiers break through [***] Is the firepower blocked? "Gak!"

Fukuda Shinji consciously inserted the samurai sword back into the scabbard. Sasaki said coldly, "I will ask the division for artillery support again. After the artillery fire, the 38th wing will also enter the attack, with a brigade as an attack wave. Once the attack begins, it will be regarded as the emperor's decision to sacrifice. Xin launched a series of attacks, and the defeated and reorganized troops to continue to attack. His Excellency the division commander has promised His Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace that he would capture the main peak of Niushou Mountain before dawn. Now His Excellency Zongwu of the 11th Division is commanding the troops to attack the General Mountain Fortress. We can't let the 11th Division. Lead us, or our 16th Division will lose face.

Nakajima Jinwu waited for the news that the 30th Infantry Brigade failed to attack Niushoushan for the first time. The angry Nakajima Jinwu scolded Sasaki on the phone, as if the 30th Infantry Brigade had accidentally dug up its ancestral grave. You know, Nakajima Jinshi praised it in front of Prince Hatohiko Asakamiya. After getting off Haikou, I will invite His Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace to inspect Niushou Mountain tomorrow morning.

The defeat of the first attack also calmed me down a little from the fanatical excitement. You know, Sasaki is a very steady guy. However, at this critical juncture, what he needs is not stability, but a rapid bursting attack, which makes the middle [***] scared to the extreme of the attack and let the enemy The army broke up!

Nakajima Jinwu decided to send the 16th Field Artillery Wing to the front, strengthen the attack firepower by means of artillery support, and put the 19th Infantry Brigade, the 9th Infantry Regiment under the command of Major General Tatsami Caochang and the 20th Wing all into the total attack on Niushou Mountain. Whether it can occupy Niushou Mountain is directly related to the whole The key is whether the front can move to the urban area.

Soon, after the heavy artillery assigned to the 16th Division, the Japanese army shelled Niushou Mountain again. Sun Guiming stood in front of the artillery mirror and looked at the forward position and mountainside position covered by artillery fire. Obviously, Sun Guiming's shelling of the army had a very clear purpose. It is not dominated by the main peak position.

Sure enough, after the shelling, the overlapping figures of the Japanese army broke through the darkness and shouted to the garrison's position. For a moment, the light and heavy machine guns on the garrison's positions began to shoot fiercely. The long muzzle flame of the Maxin heavy machine gun also exposed its shooting position, so it was almost attacked by the Japanese army's field guns, one after another. The supporting fire point was overturned by the artillery fire of the Japanese army.

The Type 92 infantry gun assigned to the Japanese infantry can be regarded as a sharp weapon in the Japanese infantry attack. It is like a shrapnel barrel, which is fascinated by the military. The Type 92 infantry gun is a typical pipe retreating combined with annealing gun, just like a crooked handle and a Type 92 heavy machine gun. It is said that many of my weapons are designed. The roads are very strange.

Although the design of the Type 92 infantry gun is relatively old, its unique low trajectory and low muzzle velocity, coupled with very light gun weight, enable it to quickly deploy and transfer firing positions. Its low ballistics and low muzzle speed make it difficult to detect. Almost every infantry brigade of the Japanese army is equipped with four doors and ninety-two. Each field artillery regiment has a Type 90 infantry artillery squadron.

The Japanese Army's Type 99 infantry gun has never been used centrally, but uses the single gun deployment cold gun tactics, so the position of the 90 infantry gun is difficult to find. The infantry often says that one dies, compared with the artillery, the survival ability of the Type 92 infantry gun is higher, and the equipped 8mm oblique angle guard can withstand The Japanese Army Type 90 infantry gun, which blocked ordinary machine bullets and followed the Japanese infantry to shoot, brought a fatal blow to the heavy machine gun fire point of the 5th Brigade garrison at the front.

If it is an ordinary [***] force, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about it. We can only passively transfer the firing position, but how is it easy for the heavy machine gun to interrupt the firepower transfer? Moreover, there are not many positions suitable for heavy machine gun flank shooting on the peak surface. In real combat, heavy machine guns are generally located on the flank of the position rather than the front.

However, the Fifth Brigade is the unit of the Rehe Army. Zhang Xuewu attaches the most importance to the construction of artillery units. The Fifth Brigade has two artillery groups with 18 75mm imitation Kryup Mountain guns, as well as fire support from the 105mm howitzer group in the direction of Jiangjun Mountain, as well as the fire of the heavy artillery group from Jiangbei. Support and cover.

Isn't it difficult to find the Type 92 infantry gun? As long as our fire points in that area are destroyed by Japanese artillery, we will carry out a fierce shelling on the area, or suspect that there may be a Japanese Army Type 99 infantry gun lurking in a certain area, and summon the 105mm artillery group of General Mountain for fire cover.

Although the heavy artillery firepower of the Japanese army is very fierce, it cannot last long, because the barrel of the Type 38 heavy howitzer equipped by the Japanese army is very easy to overheat. Once overheated, it will lead to reduced range and reduced accuracy. The most serious thing is that the life of the barrel will be greatly reduced. For me, the heavy artillery is needed. In many cases, it is better to sacrifice the lives of soldiers than to suffer the loss of this very important weapon.
