Chapter 389 Occupation of Khabarovsk(2/3)
Head of the group.
Both of them were "touched", crawled and beaten in the rain of gunfire.
The situation on the opposite side was not too bad. After the 166th Division broke through the forward position, the order it received was to hold back the retreating Japanese army, reduce the Japanese army's defense preparation time, and lay a good front position for the infantry and tank army behind.
According to Hou Xiaoshan's idea, strategic delay is of course possible, and it would be best if he could capture another section of the defense line in one go. After all, what he has in hand is not a company or a regiment, but an infantry division with powerful firepower.
"Whoops~"
During the exchange of fire between the two sides, a Japanese soldier suddenly appeared with his head and something on his shoulders, and then a rocket fired towards a tank in the distance.
With a bang, a Chinese Tiger No. 3 tank was hit. After the explosion of fireworks, the tank was fine. The rocket was triggered by the armor layer and detonated just now.
"Damn it, the American bazooka is definitely not the Japanese 40."
Wu Peiqiang is a veteran of rocket launchers. He has done considerable research on the Japanese 40 rocket launchers, the German Iron Fist, and the American bazooka. Among other things, although these foreign military items cannot be equipped in the army, they are used for research and observation.
There are not a few.
The Japs' 40-gun projectile was a technology they got from the Iron Fist, especially in the development of rockets. The Germans provided a lot of help, allowing the Japs to leapfrog the age of throwing grenades in one fell swoop.
"It seems that the military support of the American devils is still in place. The devils on the front line are all equipped with bazookas. However, this thing can't penetrate the No. 3 armor, unless it is hit on the side tracks." Wu Peiqiang.
I simply commented on this weapon that the Japanese army had high hopes for.
Speaking of the name of the bazooka, it is really famous. The reason is that it can penetrate almost all medium-sized tanks currently in service in the German army. Although the iron fist in the hands of the German army is more powerful, since the Americans have put this American-made rocket launcher into the army regardless of the quantity.
The tank losses of the Soviets and Germans have indeed increased a lot.
In particular, everyone is smart. If we can't penetrate the front, we can attack from the side. This is also the reason why Bazooka has repeatedly caused the Germans to suffer losses. There are many people in the Soviet Red Army who are desperate for their lives. The political commissar of the Red Army roared.
The Liuzi man carried the rocket and lay down in the individual soldier's hole. As soon as the German tanks rushed over, he stood up and fired. It was very effective.
"Perhaps the equipment is used to deal with us, and those at the rear may not have time to change their equipment."
However, the Americans had almost no confrontation with China on land before. The Bazooka's anti-tank armor-breaking ability was designed based on the German medium tanks. Therefore, the armor-breaking ability was inferior to that of the Tiger.
No. 3 tank, even the Tiger tank No. 2 cannot penetrate. It can penetrate No. 2 from the side, but even from the side it cannot penetrate No. 3. The protective power of the new steel armor on the side exceeds that of ordinary homogeneous armor.
Steel armored.
Hou Xiaoshan smiled and spat, "It's no use, who made our No. 3 thick-skinned?" Heng said.
Sure enough, the Japanese army on the opposite side originally had high hopes for the newly equipped American anti-tank rockets, but they were a bit dumbfounded when they saw that the tank was not damaged after being hit.
After a small panic on the battlefield, this time three rockets flew towards the tank company.
"Damn it, the devils are still wasting money. It's true that the U.S. aid is being used randomly without money. It's so fucking stupid."
Wu Peiqiang cursed fiercely, but the Japanese can fire rockets, and the tanks here will not stay there to be beaten. They maneuvered horizontally at high speed, and did not forget to fight back. Several tanks spoke together, and two of the tank guns caused a lot of damage.
As a result of the battle, after the violent explosion, in addition to the flying Japanese limbs in the air, there were also two rocket launchers.
"Commander, bring up the 45-gun. Let's concentrate our firepower and give the konjac a hard blow."
Wu Peiqiang looked at it, it was time to concentrate firepower for one last try, otherwise the main force from the rear would come up, and the infantry would have to cooperate with the tanks.
"Give them a shot, pull up the 45-gun, and then concentrate our infantry artillery and rocket launchers to give the Japanese a hard blow."
Just do it, Hou Xiaoshan gave the order loudly, and from time to time, groups of soldiers deployed infantry cannons and rocket launchers. Snipers were also in place, sharpshooters and rocket launchers specializing in attacking the enemy.
and gunner.
At this moment, a rather strange guy appeared.
I saw a few soldiers working together to put a guy with 12 short tubes into the firing position. This strange artillery was not even as high as a soldier's waist.
Then, another group of soldiers ran forward and took off the rocket bags on their backs. One person was hit by three or four rockets, and as few as two or three. In just over a minute, 12 rockets were loaded into this strange
Multiple rocket launcher.
Concentrating firepower, a Type 45 Multiple Launch Rocket Battalion was quickly deployed.
"Aim at them all and hit them hard."
Hou Xiaoshan attaches great importance to these thirty 45-meter multiple rocket launchers. During a group army exercise, the Qiaonian multiple rocket launchers made their debut and left a very deep impression on people.
During the exercise, not only did everyone in a 45-pound rocket launcher battalion carry rocket bags, but they also separated the 45-pound rocket launcher. One person was hit, and after arriving at the place, it was assembled in less than ten minutes to form a multiple rocket launcher.
Subsequently, the intensive and rapid firepower and the good dispersion area left a deep impression on him.
This is fucking killer copper prepared for infantry. It's enough to bring a company with it to blow up the airport, let alone conquer a section of the position.
This sentence was said by Hou Xiaoshan's regimental leader and cousin Wu Peiqiang while watching the exercise.
Wu Peiqiang likes rocket launchers because it is like a cannon on the shoulder and can be aimed by a single soldier. This kind of multi-barreled portable multiple rocket launcher is more suitable for him after taking various factors into consideration.
Therefore, Hou Xiaoshan reported that the first batch was equipped with this 45-year-old four-barreled rocket launcher, and it was used as division artillery support firepower. He changed the method to strengthen the heavy firepower of the 166th Division.
Because of this, Hou Xiaoshan, who was unable to bring the heavy artillery battalion with him in this vanguard operation, felt somewhat confident.
The Japanese were still a little confused as to why the [Chinese] ** thought that the firepower suddenly weakened and even the tanks started to retreat. Could it be that the [Chinese] Chinese were tired from fighting and wanted to go down to rest and prepare for the second wave of attacks?
However, the Japs can be considered a well-trained army. Boli in the rear was blown into a cloud of thick smoke. These Japs did not run away, but stuck to their defensive positions, which can be considered a bit tough.
"beat!!"
After the order was given, the rocket launchers and infantry artillery fire continued. The roar of the Type 45 four-barreled multiple rocket launcher caused shock to both China and Japan.
Behind the rocket launchers and infantry artillery, hundreds of flying objects were seen rising in the air about one kilometer from China's parallel advance position.
These rockets were slightly larger than rockets, and they flew toward the Japanese positions overwhelmingly with long tail flames at a speed of three to four hundred meters per second.
Boom! Boom, “…
There was a violent explosion. Before the Japanese could figure out what was going on, even the Japanese commander had just put down his telescope and wondered why the Chinese were equipped with so many rocket launchers, when the overwhelming rockets flew to the Japanese position.
Riding on the fierce explosion on the Japanese position, almost 2 kilometers were covered by the explosion of this abnormal multiple rocket launcher. In less than two minutes, another wave of rockets flew towards the Japanese position. At this moment, the 107-year-old 45-year-old multiple rocket launcher
The rocket launcher suppressed all the performance of the infantry artillery and rocket launchers, and its domineering power caused a Japanese regiment to suffer a big disaster.
“Go for it!!!”
At the same time, the 166's armored force and infantry covered each other, seizing the rare moment and quickly rushed to the position.
Once on the position and opening the gun, the 66th Division, which had already been widely equipped with semi-automatic rifles and had a large amount of automatic firepower, walked into the sheepfold like a hungry wolf, chasing the Japanese and beating them fiercely.
Some Japanese soldiers were veterans from 10 years ago. When they saw an old friend, the Chinese people rushed up and hurriedly fought back with their 38-gauge guns or submachine guns. But most of the Japanese soldiers still looked like they were dealing with the Soviet Union.
He stabbed with his bayonet like a human being, only to be hit by submachine guns and fully automatic rifles.
The firepower intensity per unit area of the Chinese National Defense Force is at least two or three times that of the Japanese army. In the trenches, there is a huge gap of nearly ten times. The Japanese army, which does not even have an advantage in strength, is difficult to resist.
The position was torn apart, and Hou Xiaoshan relied on all the hundreds of rockets in his hands to finally blast through the Japanese second line of defense. "The rest was left to the main armored forces catching up behind them."
"It's so cool, it's so cool. I killed all the nobles without leaving a single piece of armor behind. Such crazy firepower coverage can only be achieved by a group of artillery." Although half of the more than 1,000 rockets carried by the entire division were consumed." But in exchange for hundreds of huge rockets,
The smoke exploding on the Japanese army's position was very satisfying.
It's worth it, so worth it.
"Hey, it's just that the consumption is a bit high. More than 700 rockets" were fired in a few minutes. Even the artillery division couldn't achieve this intensity of firepower. Hehe..." Wu Peiqiang felt happy. "He knew that the consumption was high, but as long as the war benefits are greater,
Large, consumption is certainly acceptable.
In the words of my cousin Hou Xiaoshan, as long as the land and resources can be regained, as long as the war can be won, what does weapons and equipment mean? Those things are used to produce machines and provide wartime jobs for the country.
In war, petty people are afraid of not being able to make ends meet, but China is not afraid and wins continuously. This is called winning the big with the small.
Just after taking down the second line of defense, which was also the penultimate line of defense that the Japanese army focused on defending, Hou Xiaoshan was notified that the main force was beginning to prepare for the attack. The Phenol Division was originally ordered to withdraw and rest.
"Rest? Commander, this battle has reached the city gate. Replace the soldiers. I, Hou Xiaoshan, will be beaten black. Haha, I said, Commander, please let me continue to charge, Bu Tan.
I know how to work together, if you follow behind, you won't get anywhere."
Hou Xiaoshan is not joking. Unlike Wu Peiqiang, he is a truly knowledgeable, strategic and senior commander of the National Defense Forces with rich command experience. Not to mention this kind of advantageous attack, the Japanese will take a breather.
Later, when the National Defense Forces encountered the main force of the Japanese army, he was not ambiguous.
"Okay, as long as you don't have loose stools, it's fine. This Japanese army will eat up quickly, and we have to rush to the next trip." Fu Zuoyi did not ask too much, but used Hou Xiaoshan's hometown dialect to encourage him.
Hou Xiaoshan grinned. He didn't understand what the commander said.
The Japanese have deployed 2 million troops in the Far East Theater. Now they have caught them off guard. If they don't take advantage of surprise attacks and armored forces to eat more Japanese and block more strategic places, how can they complete the grand strategic division of the Japanese army? You know,
Once the strategic offensive in the three directions of Khabarovsk, Vladivostok and Dalnerechinsk is successfully launched, not to mention the main force of the Japanese near the Komsomolsk defense line, at least the hundreds of thousands of Japanese in the middle will not be able to escape.
This attack by the Far East Front Army is to use its superior strength and superior air power to kill hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the crowded battlefield in the Far East Theater.
"Coming, coming!!"
Sure enough, five minutes later, Hou Xiaoshan clearly felt the rumbling sound coming from behind him, the sound of the engine and the car body crushing the ground. Without looking back, he knew that the tank troops of the Sixth Armored Group Army were coming.
Looking back, I saw that the entire battlefield was filled with tanks at the rear. Their posture was much stronger than thousands of horses galloping, and they were like mountains of steel and forests of iron, overwhelming mountains and seas.
The tank troops did not stop and rushed quickly towards the last Japanese defense line in front of the city.
"Be good, at least two tank divisions."
Wu Peiqiang smacked his mouth, feeling that his mouth was dry from watching the fun.
"Division commander, if you had been in the tank force back then, you would have been so powerful now. Look at how we fought to the death, and they passed by with just one charge. The advantage of the infantry in front of the armored force is getting smaller and smaller."
Wu Peiqiang said with emotion.
