If it weren't for seeing with your own eyes, who would have thought of the German army's way of demining mines, barbaric and powerful to the point of being unreasonable? The minefields buried with anti-tank mines and anti-infantry mines that were carefully arranged by Japanese engineers and were prepared to stop Soviet tank troops from advancing, actually caused trouble for the German army for only half an hour, and were easily torn apart.

When the German Wehrmachtres carried their weapons, bent over and rushed into the Japanese trenches from the passage that had completely cleared obstacles, the Japanese soldiers had not yet found their lost hearing from the huge explosion and roar.

Shaking, these Japanese soldiers saw the German soldiers rushing into their trenches. They looked in shock at the enemies who were supposed to be blocked by minefields in the distance and trapped there waiting for death, appearing a few meters away in front of them.

So the Japanese soldiers hurriedly grabbed the rifles that they had thrown away at some point and prepared to fire at the enemies who suddenly appeared in front of them. But they lost to the weapons in their hands again, because they would soon find that the Type 38 rifle they once trusted has now become a "trash" enough to kill them.

Yes, trash! The infantry tactics that the Japanese army has always emphasized are precision shooting and ferocious assassination, which has a lot to do with their own resources and beliefs. First of all, the Japanese army lacks metal resources, so they hate any waste of steel, which is a considerable metal resource. Therefore, the Japanese army is unwilling to waste it.

Because of this, the Japanese emphasized the precise shooting of individual soldiers, advocated long-distance firing to hit the target, and were unwilling to use weapons that was wasted ammunition. Therefore, when the German army used semi-power ammunition on a large scale and equipped assault rifles, the Japanese troops were still insisting on only equipting single-shot bolt rifles and machine guns.

In fact, this is also related to the tactical ideas of the Japanese army: because the Japanese army has never been able to experiment with the blitzkrieg tactics of large-scale tank troops, the top leaders of the Japanese army have always been unable to believe that the conclusion that the combat distance between the two sides will undergo fundamental changes in the future war. On the contrary, this conclusion was proposed by the German army and has also been tested in actual combat.

The Japanese army believed that their battlefield would still be the same as during World War I, fighting at a distance of about kilometers. Rifles should play a role in precise shooting at this distance. They rely more on the bravery of soldiers and the skills of bayonets to fight against each other. They also train their soldiers in this way.

In fact, this view is very correct to some extent, because in Southeast Asia and China, backward tactics and outdated weapons make the war here exactly the same as what the top Japanese leaders speculated.

This is also the reason why Japan rarely suffered on the battlefield before it met the United States and Germany: because when Japanese troops were training, they targeted the enemies they needed to face. These enemies did not have heavy weapons and heavy firepower, and could only fight the trench warfare position warfare during World War I.

So in this case, the precise shooting that the Japanese army trained hard can cause huge casualties to the opponent, and the fierce charge and fighting will make the opponent frightened. However, as time goes by, when the main enemies of the Japanese army became the United States and Germany, the elite Japanese infantry found that they had no room for development in their combat qualities.

The ideal distance for Japanese infantry combat is between 300 meters and 800 meters. As long as the battle continues to be stalemate at this distance, the Japanese army's precise shooting advantage will be reflected, and the opponent will either grit the bullet and continue to support or defeat due to casualties. However, at this distance, the Americans often call for artillery support and use a large amount of heavy firepower to suppress the Japanese army.

Now, the fighting methods shown by the Germans in Nomenkan seem to be more barbaric and direct than the Americans: the Germans did not fight against the Japanese at a distance of about 800 meters. They directly used heavy armored tanks and assault guns to cover their infantry to quickly approach the distance of 300 meters to 200 meters.

Once the distance is approached, the G43 semi-automatic rifle and the mp44 assault rifle equipped by the German army can immediately exert the absolute advantage of firepower density, leaving the Japanese army's bolt-type single-shot rifle with high long-range shooting accuracy without any advantage. When the battle spreads into the trenches, the German submachine guns and assault rifles and continuous firepower composed of semi-automatic rifles, which is impossible to give Japanese soldiers the opportunity to fight bayonets.

The Japanese soldiers finally got their rifles in the narrow trenches. When they pulled the bolt, they found that the German soldiers were aiming at them with weapons. Before they could push the bullets in their chambers into the bullet bay, the other party skillfully pulled the trigger pressed by their fingers.

The gunshots rang out in a dense manner, as if the Eight-Nation Alliance that invaded China used muskets to massacre the spearmen of the Qing Dynasty. One by one, the Japanese soldiers fell down with unwilling eyes, covering the bullet holes on their chests. Occasionally, there were Japanese soldiers who opened fire, but they could only shoot one shot in a panic, which could not cause suppressive damage to the German army.

The battle soon turned into a massacre. The Japanese army, who had not yet figured out what the explosion was like just now, found that the German soldiers were already carrying a strange weapon and constantly firing deadly bullets at them.

"The enemy has rushed into the trench! The enemy has rushed into the trench!" A Japanese soldier ran through his companion's bunker in panic and loudly reminded his friendly troops to make corresponding preparations in the next battle. After all, including the friendly troops of the two wings, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers guarding their positions would not be defeated by the few German troops in front of him.

When the news of the German army attacking the trench bunker began to spread, all the Japanese soldiers thought of not retreating or escaping, but fighting back! The Japanese army was arrogant in China for several years, not relying on luck. Their combat qualities and courageous consciousness even surpassed the German and Soviet troops, and they could definitely be called world-class.

The Japanese army in the nearby trenches immediately launched a counterattack, without even waiting for their company to give a counterattack. After the command of the sergeant, countless Japanese soldiers pulled out the bayonet at their waist without saying a word and stuck under the muzzle of the Type 38 rifle. Under the steel helmet, they looked at the direction where the German army was attacking fiercely.

"The Germans used explosives to blow up our mines, and they used cunning methods to attack our positions in the chaos! His Majesty's soldiers, now we are going to seize our positions and repel the European barbarians who covet the imperial land! Crash!" A commander waved his command knife at the ready soldiers in the trenches.

"Long live the Emperor!" The Japanese army raised their rifles and shouted and rushed to the German positions that they broke through along the trenches. The trenches and bunkers were dug out by themselves with shovels, so they knew the structure and terrain here better than anyone else. This is their advantage. Now they have to use their advantages to repel the decline on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, in this situation, the Captain of Kawasaki still found that his defensive position was being lost at a speed visible to the naked eye. He saw his infantry rushing along the trenches towards the German breakthrough area, and then dense bullets like raindrops would cause the Japanese soldiers who launched the decisive charge to fall down in groups.

Seeing another charge being covered by a unique sound of machine guns that had never been heard before, Kawasaki knew that his front line of positions would never be able to be taken from the Germans.

"Call Miyamoto and tell him that the enemy is much stronger than expected, so that he should not underestimate the enemy and let those German tanks suffer as soon as possible, otherwise our second-line defense positions would be in danger!" Kawasaki looked at the infantrymen who were driven away by bullets in the distance and ordered his adjutant anxiously.

"Hi!" The adjutant quickly stood at the right moment and bent down, leaving the closely disguised command center with orders.

The phone call from Kawasaki made Miyamoto, the commander of the Japanese tank unit, laughed and cried. Of course, he knew that the Germans were much stronger than expected, because if it weren't for the loss of air superiority that he had covered all his tanks with a camouflage net, perhaps the air strike just now had already caused him to withdraw from the battlefield.

But what can he do now? Let his tanks drive out bunkers and charge against German tanks? If the performance of German tanks and Soviet tanks is similar, doing so is ordering his tank crew to commit suicide. But if the troops remain unmoved, it seems that the front-line defensive position of the Kawasaki United may really collapse.

"Baga Road! If I start counterattacking rashly now, the second-tier position will be completely finished!" Miyamoto said gritting his teeth according to his command knife: "Let Captain Kawasaki withstand the pressure! As long as the Germans move closer, the distance is not 600 meters or 650 meters! I will order the tank troops to fire and fight back!"

After saying that, Miyamoto was still not sure about the situation in front of him. He looked at the Type 97 tank parked beside him. This kind of tank equipped with a 57mm caliber short-barrel tank gun was his only reliance now. As long as the weapons equipped by the Japanese army can destroy the tanks of the opposite German army, despite the current disadvantage, the Japanese army still has hope of victory!

It's about to be 515. I hope it will continue to hit the 515 red envelope list. By May 15, the red envelope rain will be able to give readers and promote works. It's also love, so it will definitely be better!
