The biggest difference between Japan and Germany is that the Germans are really strong and have bulldozed most of Europe with their strength, while the Japanese's strength is mostly blown out and they have never encountered real challenges.
Now comes the real challenge. The will to fight emphasized by the Japanese cannot play a decisive role in the face of absolute equipment superiority. What's more, the fighting will of the southern African soldiers is not weak at all compared with the Japanese army.
The various atrocities committed by the Japanese in East Asia have long aroused public outrage in southern Africa. People in southern Africa are holding back their anger, and now they finally have a chance to do something for heaven.
The Marines withdrew from Kuala Lumpur to rest before dark, and the 4th East India Division took over the position.
Just by looking at the number, you can tell that this is another ace unit equipped with armored equipment.
If the organization of the Japanese army is followed, the infantry divisions in East India that are mixed with armored forces can all be regarded as armored forces.
The 4th Division is also powerful, with a full strength of nearly 18,000 people. It is basically mechanized. In addition to the "Clouded Leopard" tanks, it is also equipped with more than 600 vehicles, including nearly 100 "Alligator" armored vehicles.
In urban combat, armored vehicles play no less role than tanks, and in many cases are even more useful than tanks...
After the outbreak of the World War, Southern Africa carried out a large-scale upgrade of the "Alligator", replacing the 12.7mm machine gun with a 20mm cannon, and the turret was completely enclosed, taking the defense and attack power to a higher level.
The defense of the 4th Division is based on "Alligator" and "Clouded Leopard" tanks. All defenses on the streets are taken care of by "Alligator" and "Clouded Leopard". The infantry hides in solid buildings for defense.
The houses that were not structurally strong enough have collapsed, and the remaining ones are all reinforced concrete buildings, and they still have some defenses.
The basic equipment of East Indian officers and soldiers has also been replaced by Nyasaland semi-automatic rifles. The production of assault rifles is too small and has not had time to be installed in the troops. There are also a large number of automatic weapons. Light machine guns are equipped at the squad level, and the firepower is unprecedentedly powerful.
After nightfall, Japanese troops emerged from every corner of the city like rats and launched frantic attacks.
This is the last chance for the Japanese. If they cannot regain their position, they will be driven out of Kuala Lumpur. By then, the Japanese may be even worse than the U.S.-Philippine coalition forces in the Bataan Death March.
Eighty thousand prisoners of the US-Philippine coalition were forcibly escorted to a prisoner of war camp 120 kilometers away. In the process, 15,000 people died.
MacArthur still didn't know what kind of fate his men had suffered. In another time and space, MacArthur cried in pain after knowing it, and vowed to take revenge on the Japanese. Then MacArthur made great contributions to Japan's economic recovery while serving as the commander-in-chief of the US military in Japan.
His contribution is deeply appreciated by the Japanese.
The 15,000 people who died in the Bataan Death March should be more grateful to MacArthur.
I wonder if he has nightmares.
The East Indians' attitude towards the Japanese was much firmer than MacArthur's.
When the Japanese army launched an attack on the Allied positions, the well-prepared defenders opened up all firepower. Flares and searchlights illuminated most of Kuala Lumpur as bright as day. The Japanese had no way to hide and suffered heavy losses.
This is a situation that the Japanese have never encountered before.
In other words, the Japanese have never fought against an army with better equipment and stronger fighting will.
During the Russo-Japanese War, the whole world was helping the Japanese. When the Russian fleet arrived in the Far East, it was already at the end of its war effort, and the Japanese won the Battle of Tsushima.
In the last world war, the Japanese also did not experience the test. At that time, all Germany's energy was in Europe, and the Japanese took a big advantage.
After that, it was smooth sailing for the Japanese until they encountered southern Africa and the East Indian army that was supported by southern Africa.
A four-storey building in the center of Kuala Lumpur, it used to be the location of the Kuala Lumpur branch of Rand Bank before the outbreak of the war.
There is usually a vault underground under the Rand Bank, and the structure is extremely strong. The company led by Li Chaohui is responsible for the defense of this building.
At the end of the corridor on the fourth floor is the general manager's office. The door number is made of copper. It was probably stolen by the dwarfs as gold. The furniture in the room is still there. These furniture are relatively heavy, otherwise they would definitely be stolen by the Japanese.
snatch away.
"Wow, mahogany furniture, leather sofas, there must have been carpets here before. The managers of Rand Bank really enjoyed it." Wu Xing from Borneo walked into the manager's office and couldn't help but sigh.
Senior executives of Rand Bank are definitely rich in Asia. It is normal to earn tens of thousands per year. Rich people naturally enjoy themselves. Even the wine cabinet is made of mahogany. Unfortunately, the wine in the wine cabinet has disappeared and is still thrown on the ground.
With the wine bottle in hand, the room felt like it had been robbed.
"This floor-to-ceiling window is good, but it's a pity that the Japanese are not human beings." Li Chaohui was very angry. The Japanese couldn't move the window away, so they broke the glass. The large mahogany desk was cut with a knife, and a big hole was broken in the table.
, the leather sofa was also scratched by a sharp knife. Even if you can't take it away, you still have to destroy it completely. What a bad trait of a little devil.
This Russian strong wall and clear wilderness are different.
What Russia destroys is its own, and it can do whatever it wants with its own things, and no one can interfere.
As invaders, the little devils committed all kinds of evil and were proficient in burning, killing, and looting. They will definitely be punished.
"When we reach Japan, we will treat the Japanese in the same way." Wu Xing has ideals. He doesn't want to take pictures on the emperor's throne. Wouldn't it be better to just take it away?
At this time, the roar of engines came from downstairs. Two "Clouded Leopard" tanks and two "Alligator" armored vehicles blocked the road downstairs. Mortars were placed on the roof of the building, and several boxes of flares were prepared.
There were soldiers adjusting the searchlights nearby, and everything was in order.
At nine o'clock in the evening, as a flare was launched into the sky, the battle suddenly broke out.
The Japanese also knew very well that this was their last chance. Many Japanese did not even wear clothes, rushed out of the sewers with rifles with bayonets, howled and launched a desperate charge towards the "Clouded Leopard" tanks.
The tank gun of the "Clouded Leopard" is of no use at this time. The high-level dual-purpose machine gun and the coaxial machine gun are showing off their power. The soldiers who rely on the tanks to fight are calm and relaxed. The strong armor of the "Clouded Leopard" tank is their best bunker. Nyasaland
Semi-automatic rifles are their best friends. The firepower of two semi-automatic rifles can be comparable to that of a light machine gun. An attack of this level by the Japanese is simply a matter of death.
Soon the streets were densely covered with corpses. Some Japanese soldiers who were still alive were wailing desperately for help. Of course, they might be cursing, but most of the East Indian soldiers could not understand them.
Then shoot. The semi-automatic rifle is empty of bullets and there is no time to load it. Fortunately, there are plenty of grenades.
The already crazy Japanese army did not care about casualties at all, and finally some Japanese soldiers approached the "Clouded Leopard" tank.
But they had no chance to detonate the explosive package. The spray distance of the flamethrower was more than 100 meters. When it was launched, it was dwarfed by the flares in the sky. Huge explosions came one after another. The Japanese soldiers carrying the explosive package were not alive, and even more injured.
Tragically, he finally died after a period of painful struggle, but the flames did not go out and burned away the last drop of fat.
Li Chaohui and Wu Xing were also fighting. They went to different floors to direct the battle. The soldiers hid behind the window sill and shot at the Japanese troops. The Japanese troops on the street had to avoid machine gun fire and face attacks from inside the building, unable to move forward.
.
The attack was quickly repelled, but the mortars on the roof did not stop and kept firing flares.
The Japanese army suffered huge casualties and had to stop the attack. Only then did they realize that the situation was not good.
The southern African army is different from the British army.
The East India Army was also different from the British and Indian Army.
The equipment of the British and Indian troops was actually pretty good. After the war broke out, automatic weapons were added, and there were quite a few machine guns.
The fighting will is much different.
When those timid Indians saw the charging Japanese soldiers with bayonets drawn, they were immediately frightened to the point of weakness. They were incapable of even escaping and could only remain as prisoners.
The East Indian troops did not lack the will to fight. When the Japanese army began to charge, not a single East Indian soldier escaped. They maximized their firepower advantage and the Japanese army could not break through the death firepower network composed of metal storms.
After waiting for four hours, the Japanese army finally realized the true meaning of industrial superiority.
Within four hours, Li Chaohui's company alone fired more than 500 illumination bombs, an average of two per minute.
The Chinese in Southeast Asia also have the tradition of setting off fireworks during the Spring Festival. On this night, Kuala Lumpur was as lively as the Spring Festival. There were flares everywhere in the city, and at least tens of thousands of them were consumed.
In the early morning, the Japanese army organized another attack, but it also failed, proving once again that flesh and blood cannot compete with the steel monster.
After dawn, there were thousands of Japanese corpses in front of the Allied defense lines. The exact number was impossible to count. In some areas where the fighting was fierce, the corpses on the ground were piled up to one meter high.
On the Fourth East India Division's side, the ground was densely covered with bullet casings. It was roughly estimated that the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division consumed at least a million rounds of bullets that night. In Li Chaohui's company, an average of 1.5 machine gun barrels were scrapped.
After daybreak, the attacking Allied forces were replaced by the Fifth East India Division. The Marines returned to Sumatra by boat to rest and recuperate. Their mission had been completed, and the East India Force took over the next battle.
If it were the East Indian troops, the Japanese would still be unable to defeat them.
The East Indian troops have now obtained the Kuala Lumpur drainage system network map and entered the sewers to clear out the remaining Japanese troops. The Southern African Air Force frequently dispatched 500-kilogram aerial bombs with powerful power. A Japanese squadron entering Kuala Lumpur for reinforcements was hit by a 500-kilogram aerial bomb.
This squadron disappeared directly, and only four people in the squadron of more than 180 people survived.
While landing in Kuala Lumpur, Angel ordered the air force to bomb the Japanese airport in Saigon. This order was actually opposed by the French.
Saigon was a French colony, and although Vichy France opened French Indochina to Japan, the French still had administrative rights over French Indochina.
The French allowed the Japanese to build an airport in Saigon to provide logistical assistance and air protection to the Japanese troops in the Malay Peninsula and the Philippines. After Angie sent the air force to attack Saigon Airport, Vichy French Prime Minister Pétain said in an interview with the media
, this act of criticizing southern Africa was an attempt to drag Vichy France, which had remained neutral after its surrender, into the war.
Roque accepted an exclusive interview with The Times a few days later to hit back at Pétain's remarks.
"What the French have to consider now is whether they can maintain France's status in the world before the World War after the war. I think this issue deserves more attention from Marshal Pétain. As a soldier, I have deep feelings for Marshal Pétain in the last time.
I admire his performance in the World War. Unfortunately, Marshal Pétain's current behavior is not worthy of respect. If you interview General de Gaulle, I believe General de Gaulle will approve of General Angel's order." Roque is welcome. After the rise of southern Africa, France
After the world war, there will definitely be no chance of becoming the Five Permanent Members.
"General de Gaulle transferred France's rights in French Indochina to southern Africa. Marshal Pétain considered this a betrayal of France and all French people. What do you think?" Alexandra Man, editor-in-chief of The Times
With a smile on his face, he and Roque are old friends. Roque accepts an exclusive interview with "The Times" every year on the first day of the New Year. Since Alexandra became the editor-in-chief of "The Times", he has been responsible for this job.
"I think France's giving up resistance is a betrayal of France and all French people. We can lose wealth, but we cannot lose courage and ideals. The Vichy French government is now a group of zombies who have lost their courage and ideals." Roque said unscrupulously.
What qualifications does Vichy France have to judge southern Africa now? Those cowards are not worthy of pity.
"The 80,000 U.S.-Philippine coalition troops who surrendered in the Philippines were brutally treated by the Japanese army. During the process of the Japanese army transferring them to prisoner-of-war camps, more than 15,000 people died. Do you have anything to say to President Roosevelt?" Alex
Sandra knew how to ask questions and was well informed.
This is normal. The Times has a wide range of sources of information. Even news from the Russian frontline can be reported in a timely manner, and the same is true for the Philippines.
"I have long said that the Japanese are a group of savages who have not yet been completely civilized. I have reminded President Roosevelt not to do business with the Japanese. Unfortunately, President Roosevelt cannot restrict those profit-seeking businessmen in the United States. Now the Japanese are shooting
The bullets that penetrated Americans were made of steel that Americans sold to the Japanese. It is normal for the US-Philippine coalition forces to die at 15,000 people. What Japan has done in other Asian countries is even more egregious than this. We will definitely treat it after the war.
Japan's war criminals must be thoroughly liquidated, and all guilty people must be hanged, otherwise we will not be sorry to those who fought bloody battles for justice and even gave their precious lives." Rock vaccinated some people, otherwise some
People will really give up liquidating the Japanese for the sake of profit.
This is the case in another time and space. Many Japanese war criminals escaped post-war liquidation by relying on PY transactions with the United States. Those people were not qualified to die in the hospital bed and should be hanged in the execution ground.
