After reading the European battle report forwarded from the base camp, Okamura Neji's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed. He immediately strode to the wall and fell into deep thought while looking at the huge map on the wall. The armed helicopter suddenly appeared on the European battlefield.
The threat to the armored cluster was so great that more than 4,000 tanks of the German and Russian coalition forces were destroyed in one battle!?
If the Chinese Army is also equipped with this kind of armed helicopter, how should the Kwantung Army respond?
In an instant, Okamura Neji felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. Emotionally, he was reluctant to believe that the Chinese Army would own this armed helicopter, but his reason told him that the Chinese Army
It is very possible that they really have this big killer weapon, because for more than two months before this, the behavior of the Chinese *** team was really abnormal.
Suddenly, Okamura Neji's eyes fell on Liaodong Bay on the map.
No, the Chinese *** team is afraid that they will give up their plan to counterattack the Northeast from the land route, and instead force a landing from Liaodong Bay!
Originally, the least worried thing of the Kwantung Army was the forced landing of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Liaodong Bay. However, once the Chinese People's Liberation Army was actually equipped with armed helicopters, the situation would be completely different. With the armed helicopter, this weapon can
Effectively suppressing the infantry weapons of the armored cluster, the Chinese troops will be confident when they land in Liaodong Bay.
"Order!" Neji Okamura suddenly turned around and ordered sternly, "The 3rd and 4th Fronts immediately strengthened the shore defenses around Liaodong Bay, the 5th and 6th Tank Divisions, the 7th, 8th and 8th Heavy Artillery Divisions.
The 9th and 10th Brigades will immediately leave Huludao, the 9th and 10th Tank Divisions, and the 17th, 19th and 20th Heavy Artillery Brigades will leave the camp entrance!"
"Hai." Tamura Yoshitomi suddenly lowered his head, then walked away with a sword in his arm.
Watching Tamura Yoshitomi leave, Okamura Neji slowly sat back in his chair. He hoped that there was still enough time. As long as the above-mentioned 4 tank divisions and 7 heavy artillery brigades could arrive at the designated area in time, then
Being able to use intensive coastal defense artillery fire to effectively attack the surface of Liaodong Bay, it will not be that easy for the Chinese troops to land on the beach again.
Thinking of this, Okamura Neiji couldn't help but regret. If he hadn't deliberately sold a flaw to lure the Chinese navy to land in Liaodong Bay, he wouldn't have "intentionally" ignored the shore defenses around Liaodong Bay.
, but Okamura Neji never thought that the false flaw he deliberately left behind would now become a real flaw! And it is also a fatal flaw!
However, it was already too late for the old devil Okamura Neiji to regret it now, because the Chinese Navy's beach landing operation in Liaodong Bay had actually begun.
After more than three months of intense training, the first batch of army aviation pilots from Shine finally passed the rigorous assessment.
In addition, Myanmar's two helicopter manufacturing plants, while expanding and producing at the same time, finally produced more than 300 km-32 armed helicopters in three months. Myanmar's production capacity is still incomparable to that of the United States. Likewise,
The Americans have produced more than 3,000 aircraft models!
Almost at the same time that Okamura Neji received the news, Yue Weihan also received the good news from the Allied Forces Headquarters.
At this time, more than 300 km-32 armed helicopters had been urgently airlifted by transport aircraft (the propellers were removed) to Qingdao Cangkou Airport. After reinstalling the coaxial reverse twin rotors, more than 300 helicopters boarded the Chinese Navy
There are only four aircraft carriers: Chang'an, Nanjing, Shanghai and Wuhan.
At this time, the range of armed helicopters was extremely short, so they had to take off from an aircraft carrier to join the battle.
As for the fixed-wing fighter jets of the aviation divisions of the Fourth Field Army, since the airports in Qingdao, Tanggu, Peiping, Jinan and other places are not far from Liaodong Bay, they can take off from land airports under the guidance of early warning aircraft and land on the beach.
Ground forces provide air fire support.
When everything was ready, Yue Weihan immediately ordered the attack.
In an instant, a dozen warships and hundreds of armed merchant ships of the Chinese Navy were fully loaded with 6 infantry regiments and 1 tank regiment of the first echelon, and set sail from Tanggu, Qingdao, Weihai and other ports, near Daqin Island.
After completing the assembly, they rushed towards Jinzhou Bay under the cover of more than 1,500 Mustang fighter jets from the aviation division!
When the fleet of the Chinese Air Force broke into within 150 kilometers of the Northeastern mainland, more than a dozen radar stations deployed by the Kwantung Army captured a large number of air targets at the front, and immediately issued an early warning to the Kwantung Army's frontline headquarters. Okamura Ningji then
That is to say, all Zero fighters of the Kwantung Army Aviation Force were ordered to take off immediately, and all bombers were on standby at any time!
In the past few months, the Chinese Air Force twice dispatched more than 500 Mustang fighter jets into the Northeast airspace. However, the Kwantung Army air force chose to avoid the battle. It would only be used when the Chinese Mustang was loaded with heavy aerial bombs or bombers entered.
Only in the skies over the Northeast will the Kwantung Army's zero fighter group be dispatched in large numbers.
But this time, the Kwantung Army aviation force could no longer avoid the battle.
The old Japanese Neji Okamura has just given a fatal order to the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army Aviation Group, General Hideto Yamamoto, to severely damage the Chinese Navy's transport ships and aircraft carriers at all costs, especially the Chinese Navy's four aircraft carriers that can carry a large number of armed helicopters. We must ensure that
destroy!
The Chinese and Japanese air forces immediately broke out in the largest air battle in Asia's history over Bohai!
From the outbreak of the air battle at 9 a.m. to the withdrawal of both sides from the battlefield at 5 p.m., the Chinese side dispatched a total of more than 12,000 fighter jets, and more than 200 of them were shot down. The Japanese aviation force dispatched a total of more than 25,000 fighter jets of various types, and were shot down.
More than 1,200 aircraft were shot down, including more than 900 bombers that took risks.
Due to the serious lagging performance of its fighter aircraft and the loss of strategic initiative, the Kwantung Army aviation force was forced to engage in a decisive battle with the Chinese Air Force in a specified area and at a specified time. Therefore, it suffered a major defeat in the first day of air combat. In just one day,
The Kwantung Army aviation lost a third of all combat aircraft!
However, due to the desperate containment of the Kwantung Army aviation, the Chinese Air Force was no longer able to provide air fire support to the ground troops landing at Jinzhou Bay, which caused great difficulties for the ground troops to land on the beach.
Fortunately, the Chinese Navy's naval guns still provided strong support to the landing troops. In addition, the Kwantung Army did not build impenetrable coastal defenses along the coast of Jinzhou Bay and deployed not many defensive forces. Therefore, the fierce battle
By 4:05 p.m., the first echelon of six infantry regiments and one tank regiment finally succeeded in seizing the beach.
The next day, the Chinese and Japanese air forces once again broke out in a large-scale air battle in more than a dozen airspaces over the Bohai Bay.
The Kwantung Army's 10 infantry divisions, 2 tank divisions and 4 heavy artillery brigades, which urgently returned from western Liaoning, finally approached Jinzhou Bay. 4 infantry divisions, 1 tank division and 1 tank division had already landed in the four fields.
The pressure on the heavy artillery division immediately increased, and the Fourth Field Headquarters immediately dispatched more than 500 Mustang fighter jets loaded with heavy aerial bombs and rockets for bombing.
On the way, the bomber group was intercepted by Japanese aviation. The Mustang fighters were equipped with 1,000-pound aerial bombs, which greatly reduced their maneuverability, flight speed and endurance. They were obviously at a disadvantage in the contest with the Zero fighters. As a last resort, they
The flight group commander had no choice but to order all heavy aerial bombs to be jettisoned.
At the critical moment, the only army aviation division in Shiye scrambled off four aircraft carriers and rushed to the battlefield.
With unrestricted air mobility and eight 90mm rockets mounted on them, more than 300 armed helicopters of the Shine Army Aviation Division hit two tank divisions and four heavy artillery brigades of the Kwantung Army returning from Liaoxi.
A total of more than 500 Japanese tanks and more than 400 150mm caliber heavy howitzers were destroyed!
However, the more than 30 20mm caliber rapid-fire machine guns equipped by the two tank divisions of the Japanese army still pose a certain threat to the armed helicopter groups in the air. In the final analysis, the km-32 is just the most primitive armed helicopter with additional installations on the body.
Although the steel plate is enough to withstand a 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun, it is not enough to defend against a 20mm caliber machine gun.
During the fierce battle, a total of more than 60 km-32 armed helicopters were hit, 16 of which crashed.
Although the initial performance of armed helicopters in the Asian battlefield did not achieve the same dazzling results as in the European battlefield, it also severely damaged the armored cluster and heavy artillery cluster of the Kwantung Army's emergency reinforcements. The Kwantung Army's counterattack on Jinzhou Bay suddenly collapsed, and then the Chinese Communist Party
The * team, with the tank division as the forerunner, went north via Gaoqiao, aiming directly at Jinzhou!
Jinzhou, Kwantung Army frontline headquarters.
News of the failure of the 3rd Front Army's reinforcements finally came back, and Okamura Neiji put down the phone and remained silent for a long time.
The deputy chief of the general staff of the Kwantung Army, Tamura Yoshitomi, waved his hand, and the entire headquarters suddenly became a mess. The communications staff were busy moving equipment, the combat staff were busy destroying data, and those beautiful female secretaries were even chased by portraits.
They rushed outside the headquarters like chickens and were locked in almost airtight armored trucks.
Immediately, Tamura Yoshitomi walked to Okamura Neiji again and said sincerely: "Your Excellency, Marshal, the forward armored force of the China Army is less than 20 kilometers away from Jinzhou. Please evacuate quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
"Baga, Baga Yaru!" Okamura Neiji was furious, slapped Tamura Yoshitomi twice with his backhand, and said angrily, "Bagga, bagagagaru, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die!
drop!"
Okamura Neji finally lost his cool and finally flew into a rage.
Although there were shocking examples of battles in the Balkan battlefield, Okamura Neiji still did not expect that armed helicopters would pose such a great threat to ground armored targets and heavily equipped targets!
The thick-skinned Type IV tanks were as fragile and explosive as chicken bombs in the face of air strikes from armed helicopters!
As for the large-caliber heavy-duty howitzer that needs to be towed by a tractor truck and relies heavily on road maneuvers, once it is discovered by the Chinese army's armed helicopter, it basically means that it will be destroyed, unless there happens to be a strong underground fortress nearby.
Otherwise, the clumsy heavy artillery will have nowhere to hide.
Although the armed helicopter only carries ordinary rockets and only has a rudimentary sighting system, the unique hovering and overlooking attack method of the armed helicopter greatly improves the hit rate of the rockets because rockets are fired downward from the air.
The ballistic trajectory is obviously much less affected by gravity.
What makes Okamura Neiji extremely depressed is that in the face of air strikes from armed helicopters, it is difficult for the Kwantung Army's Type IV tanks and heavy howitzers to carry out an effective counterattack. In other words, the Kwantung Army's armored clusters and heavy artillery clusters can only be beaten.
But being unable to fight back is what destroys morale the most.
"Hai!" Tamura Yoshitomi returned his head and suddenly lowered his head and said, "Marshal, please evacuate!"
"I won't withdraw, and I can't withdraw!" Okamura Neiji glared at Tamura Yoshitomi, with the veins on his forehead bulging, like a hungry tiger that chooses people to devour, and then said, "Jinzhou is
The important military town in southern Manchuria is the hub connecting western Liaoning, eastern Liaoning and northern Manchuria, so how can we give up so easily?"
After that, Okamura Neiji drew out the saber given by Emperor Hirohito with a clang, and roared in a ferocious voice: "Order, the gendarmerie, police forces, armed pioneering regiments and Manchurian troops from nearby counties and townships to immediately assemble in Jinzhou.
, and then call the headquarters of the Liaodong and Liaoxi front armies and ask them to mobilize elite troops and return to Jinzhou as quickly as possible!"
"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Tamura Yoshitomi said sadly, "Jinzhou can no longer be defended!"
"Baga!" Okamura Neji was furious again. He put the sword in his hand on Tamura Yoshitomi's neck and roared ferociously, "This is an order, execute it immediately!"
"Hai!" Tamura Yoshitomi suddenly lowered his head and immediately took the order.
The Japanese staff officers who were busy transporting radio equipment and destroying documents and materials just now looked at each other in confusion. After a while, these staff officers returned to their respective posts amid the roar of Okamura Neiji.
Tianjin small station, Siye frontline headquarters.
Amidst the rapid footsteps, Mr. Zuo hurriedly walked into the operations hall. In an instant, the eyes of all the senior generals and staff members in the entire combat hall were focused on Mr. Zuo. However, only Zuo was looking at him.
The excited look on the president's face meant that good news must have come back from the front line.
Sure enough, General Zuo stood upright and said to Yue Weihan: "General, urgent report from the front line, the Army Aviation Division severely damaged the armored group and heavy artillery group returned by the Kwantung Army ten kilometers west of Jinzhou Bay, destroying a total of more than 500 four-wheel-drive vehicles.
tanks and more than 400 150mm-caliber heavy howitzers, the Kwantung Army's counter-offensive posture has collapsed!"
As soon as Mr. Zuo finished speaking, the entire combat hall burst into cheers. Everyone hugged or gave high-fives, and some even had tears in their eyes. Today's victory is enough to go down in history, not only because this time the four fields were absolutely in control.
The victory was achieved at a disadvantage, especially because this time the opponents were the powerful Kwantung Army and the "invincible" Okamura Neiji!
