Chapter 491 General Attack (Central)

(...China's first mechanized infantry appeared on the battlefield and the effect was shocking. They were far stronger than similar troops of the Japanese army. They smashed the broken back line of the 116th Division of the Japanese army in the first battle... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

The smoke of gunpowder in the backstage filled the hearts of those in power, and the smoke of gunpowder in the command center was filled with the minds of commanders and fighters, but the smoke of gunpowder on the front line was right in front of the soldiers!

The smoke of gunfire was everywhere on the shore, and the attack of the naval guns made the wilderness and highlands along the coast covered in gray and blue smoke... A company of ** landed first, and more than 120 people were not as busy as the last time of the 187th Division. They placed down the bamboo rafts on the landing craft in an orderly manner to serve as bridges. Two 20mm machine guns on the edge of the bridge patrolling the possible sniper points everywhere, and from time to time, they would fire one or two guns.

The landed soldiers quickly dispersed. Each squad's machine gunners occupied a depression that could serve as a cover to raise the machine gun. Not far behind the machine gunners was a sniper wearing a camouflage clothes raised the k98k sniper rifle and stared at all suspicious targets in the scope. The six people charged were divided into two three-person combat teams. The former was the deputy of the squad equipped with the latest German submachine gun mp38 and rushed up. The two soldiers behind him were holding the g98.

The rifle was alert, while the other was holding a grenade that unscrewed the safety cover to follow; the second group was also equipped with an mp38 submachine gun, two riflesmen, who quickly followed the stacked tiles after the combat team in front sent out a safety signal; followed by the machine gun team and snipers, and the four-person team of ammunition soldiers followed... All the movements of the officers and soldiers of each squad were smooth and smooth, with excellent tactics and coordination, attacking forward in an orderly and quickly orderly manner!

This is the face of the real imperial guards! The 72nd Army armed to the teeth actually had two submachine guns, one machine gun and one sniper rifle! If it weren't for Cao Xiaomin's time travel, there wouldn't be such a well-equipped reorganized army on the day after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. But now they appeared, right in the telescope of the British and American observation group members on the ship!

The vanguard of a company actually dared to log in to control the landing ground, and then one camp after another followed.

"According to your estimate, the comparison between your unit and the Japanese army's conventional combat effectiveness is..." Seeing the amazing performance of the Chinese team, although there was no firefighting scene, the British and American observers were already a little dumbfounded. They were holding Wei Liang who was about to land with the team.

"One to five, this is the initial goal of Chief Cao. In the future, combat effectiveness will develop to offense one to ten and defense one to thirty... Sorry, gentlemen, I want to be with my troops!" Wei Liang said without looking back and threw down a group of observers and jumped off the landing craft.

"How many troops are there like you?!" The observers anxiously asked Wei Liang, who had already boarded the landing craft, and a brave American jumped onto the ship.

"One unit, unique in the country..." Wei Liang shrugged: "If our three million troops were all trained with such equipment, the Japanese would have to roll into the sea within a month..."

Not only is this army equipped beyond time and space, but the cultural quality of each officer and soldier was also considered a senior intellectual in China at that time - all of them were above junior high school! One fifth of them were the survivors of the original German-Armed Division's bloody battle in Shanghai, and one fifth were selected among the officers and soldiers who retreated from the crossing of the river after the Nanjing Defense War. All other new recruits had undergone excellent training and practical training. They gained valuable practical experience and experienced the refinement of blood and fire on the battlefield in Anhui. The current army is no longer the group of rookies who witnessed wild dogs eating and trembling all over. They already had the temperament of veterans but did not lose the passion of new recruits. It can be said that their sharpness is the best in the three armies!

"How do you think the combat effectiveness of this unit is comparable to that of European troops?" A US military observer asked his British colleagues around him.

"Maybe it can really be compared. This is the elite among the 450 million people..." The British agreed proudly.

"I think...you see how they treat gas masks. I don't see that one of them thinks it is heavy and they cherish this kind of thing that is always thrown away by soldiers during the training of the US military..." The American smiled and shook his head to his British colleagues: "And during the entire departure, the only content of the conversation was mission. No one joked or complained. All of them acted like a person... I think they are more like an army than the group of cowboys in my country! Maybe, a single soldier can still fight us Americans, but when a squad shoots with a gun, I don't doubt they can beat our cowboys..."

"You are wrong!" A lieutenant officer who was on the landing ship who was under command suddenly said to the two big noses in English when he passed by: "My subordinates, any one can defeat three American soldiers in the fight!" After he finished speaking, he took a few soldiers on board and became the first mortar troops to land...

"Boom! Boom!" Two shells hit a mountain edge. The observer on the top of the tank turret did not see any abnormal movement near the war defense cannon with the muzzle exposed, and was very surprised. But soon he saw the infantry gesture that took the opportunity to rush up when firing the cannon: Safe, no resistance!

On the other side of the mountain edge was a gun group of Japanese guns who were killed by the Air Force's machine guns. On the thin line of defense, you can also see aviation machine guns firing bullet holes left on the ground along the mountain edge. Just like the Japanese chasing the Battle of Shanghai, the Chinese Air Force used the most backward biplane to shoot back and forth along simple field fortifications, directly defeating the Japanese infantry who had been in a hurry. The trenches connected by foxgloves were only 60 cm deep, and there were blood stains and some corpses that the Japanese had not had time to take away.

"Damn it, I didn't encounter a few decent resistances in an hour of attack..." The captain on the reconnaissance tank sent a safety signal to the rear, and the rolling iron stream behind began to accelerate towards this section of the mountain edge that was obviously the Japanese defense line.

"At the eleven o'clock, I found that there were Japanese troops in the town to be deployed..." Liao Yaoxiang's command vehicle had arrived behind the first tank cluster. He was reported when he saw ten tanks lined up to the town to prepare for artillery.

"Tell them that they can charge at only two rounds of artillery, and do not attack when they reach the front of the town, and rush over from that slope..." Liao Yaoxiang is now admiring Cao Xiaomin's arrangement: they are doing this in front. Every time they face the Japanese troops hiding in the village town and preparing for street fighting, they do not attack. Instead, a round of artillery fire suddenly detours and continues to advance when the enemy is waiting for them to approach, throwing all these Japanese troops to the infantry.

Very surprisingly, these Japanese troops did not defend the enemy. When they saw the tank troops around them, they gave up their positions and retreated not long after they saw them going around them. However, they were often caught up by the second-tier tank troops on the way to retreat, and were chased by light armored vehicles without any bunkers and heavy weapons. There were gunfire everywhere on the battlefield, but in fact there was no fierce battle. Almost all the mechanized troops were slaughtering the wrecky Japanese.

Sometimes, they would encounter Japanese troops who had repaired fortifications in the field and occupy the right territory, but they still did not step forward and attacked hard, but only gave the opponent a gun fire. If the enemy troops were large in size, they would order the follower self-propelled artillery company to blast. At this time, the Chinese Air Force, which was alarmed by the artillery fire, would take advantage of the bustling, and did not throw precious aviation bombs at the enemy. They would just use machine guns to fire, and the Japanese on one position would be defeated!

The elite officers and soldiers of the 116th Division were already destroyed in the battle ahead, and they were divided into several places. They could not resist the general attack troops that were facing the enemy. Perhaps the commanders knew this, and they kept leaving some small tails like geckos along the way. The attacking troops that delayed were spreading their four hooves and retreating eastward!

The Japanese in this division were already scared by the bloody battles of the New 35th Division and the 153th Brigade, and the 13th Brigade of the Sichuan Army. They were not fighting spirit. The blocking troops left behind found that ** did not attack them at all but were around them, and almost all the Japanese troops who were afraid of being surrounded and annihilated fled!

Two legs can't run for four rounds, and the entire battlefield is full of scattered Japanese soldiers who are broken through the defense line and led to retreat and fleeing. They can only drill into the difficult mountain wilderness, because as long as they are discovered near the main road, just a light armored vehicle can chase their entire team and even the squadron!

On the way to the marching, you can also see ferries and bridges everywhere, left by the Chinese Air Force air strikes. This is not a war, it is just a pursuit!

The devastating attack made Liao Yaoxiang, who was suspended at the beginning, feel boring. He actually hoped to fight a tough battle!

"Report, the first echelon has reached Nanling City and found that the Japanese army was well-dressed, at least one brigade of troops. The first echelon requested combat instructions..." Liao Yaoxiang was very happy for a while, but he pondered for a moment and ordered: "Continue to follow the original combat plan, fire strikes, send instructions to the artillery, bypass the Nanling defense line and take Xuancheng directly!"

The Japanese in Nanling did not receive any report on the combat methods of **. When they found that this Japanese did not attack but crossed the defense line in the wilderness, they were stunned. However, soon the self-propelled artillery shells that followed fell on their heads, and Nanling was filled with smoke... An hour later, all the Japanese devils in the Nanling position, who were broken by the most important defense line, abandoned the city and fled!
