I'm really sorry. A Ding is here to apologize to everyone. When I was typing last night, my cervical vertebrae hurt terribly and my head was numb. In a daze, I typed Nanchang as Wuchang. I also typed the title wrong.
After finishing, A Ding went to bed to rest. I didn’t check carefully. Please forgive me!
The silent highway is lined with willow trees, but because winter has not yet passed, the trees are still bare without a trace of green, there is no wind in the sky, and the branches are hanging weakly.
Suddenly there was a roar in the distance, and the roar became louder and louder, and appeared at the end of the road with a puff of dust and smoke.
After a while, a group of gleaming and roaring steel monsters appeared on the road, blowing out streams of green smoke. If any knowledgeable person saw these steel monsters, they would definitely exclaim, "This is the Somoa of France."
S35 tank!"
Yes, this is the French Somoa tank. This tank was only equipped with the French cavalry in the mid-1930s. It was one of the most advanced tanks in the 1930s. The turret and body are made of steel and have beautiful curves.
And the 55 mm thick frontal armor makes it very strong. Radio walkie-talkies are standard equipment. This design also influenced later Soviet Russian and American tank designs.
But what makes Suri feel strange is that although France has produced more than 400 such excellent tanks, it has only equipped the French cavalry with more than 200 tanks, and the rest are all locked in warehouses and idle.
Well, while Suri didn't understand the French's whimsical ideas, he also equipped the armored regiment he established with more than ninety vehicles.
However, the establishment of an armored regiment is not just equipped with dozens of tanks to be called an armored regiment. It also includes battlefield maintenance vehicles, oil tankers, pontoon vehicles and other equipment necessary for tanks. In order to enable the various arms to
The new armored regiment commander Li Chenzhe lost a lot of hair and even slept in a tank on New Year's Eve.
The roaring sound of tanks caused the small animals around the road to run away, and the birds were frightened and stopped looking for food. They flew up to the high branches and turned to stare at the group of armored monsters making strange rumbling noises below.
Li Chenzhe stood on the turret with a tank cap on his head and a headset in his ear. He held a microphone in his hand and shouted loudly: "First Battalion, speed up, faster! Second Battalion, follow up, Third Battalion, you guys
Didn’t you fucking have breakfast this morning? Why are you so weak like a bitch? If you can’t arrive at the training venue on time, I’ll skin you!”
After being a soldier for so long and fighting so many battles, Li Chenzhe's original student spirit has long since disappeared without a trace, replaced by a soldier's unique sharpness and toughness, which he has never said before.
The dirty words now come out freely.
It's just that although the performance of the Somoa tank is very good in all aspects, its speed is not very fast. The maximum speed when driving on the road is only 40 kilometers per hour.
Under Li Chenzhe's supervision, the armored regiment hurriedly hurried along the road and finally arrived at its destination - a secluded and wide valley - at noon.
When Li Chenzhe arrived at the valley, he immediately entered the battle. More than ninety tanks formed a cone and launched an attack on a position held by the Blue Army in front.
High-explosive bombs with a caliber of 47 mm continued to fall on the opposite position, causing puffs of dust and smoke. Targets painted white were vaguely visible in the flying dust and smoke. After knocking down a
Behind the targets, nearly a hundred vehicles charged forward together. The scene of the charging of steel monsters weighing 20 tons was indeed extremely spectacular. The momentum was enough to make the timid people run away!
On a hill one kilometer away from the valley, Suri, holding a telescope, was watching the armored regiment's drills accompanied by a group of officers. The officers saw targets falling one after another amidst the explosions of high-explosive bombs.
Next, a look of excitement appeared on his face.
When Su Rui put down the binoculars, Lin Shiqian, who was wearing the rank of major general behind him, smiled from ear to ear: "Our Three Hundred Army finally has its own tanks. In the past, we only saw Japanese chariots.
They are showing off their power in front of them. Not to mention how aggrieved they are, now we can also bully them."
"Yeah. That's right!" Li Yifeng, the commander of the 399th Division on the side, also nodded: "But I always feel that tanks alone are not enough to occupy the enemy's position. No matter how powerful the tank is, it cannot replace the infantry to occupy the position."
"Well, that's a good question!" After hearing this, Su Rui looked at Li Yifeng with approving eyes and nodded: "No matter how powerful the tank is, it cannot completely replace the role of infantry. In the end of the war, it is the infantry that determines the outcome.
.But this involves a problem of infantry-tank coordination and infantry follow-up speed, and this problem requires the cooperation of the armored regiment and the infantry. Otherwise, when a fight starts, the tanks will charge forward and the infantry will not be able to keep up.
In the end, we have to withdraw, but it is too early to say this now. Let’s discuss this issue in a few days after the Japanese troops in Yangchun are settled!”
Su Rui knew very well that with the establishment of the armored regiment, the issue of infantry-tank coordination would be brought to the table sooner or later. However, for the infantry to keep up with the speed of the tanks, it is impossible to rely on the two legs of the infantry alone. Then armored transport
The issue of the equipment of military vehicles must also be brought to the table.
But the problem now is that the armored force is a big consumer of fuel. Even if Suri tried every means and tried his best to get the fuel, it was only enough to barely maintain the daily training of an armored regiment. If you add in the armored transport
As for the chariot, there is really nothing Suri can do.
"Oh, oil, oil, where are you?"
Thinking of this black blood, Su Rui's head couldn't help but hurt again. At first, he only cared about collecting pictures of weapons, ammunition, and even parts on his mobile phone, but why did he forget to collect oil? So now when he heard
Oil gives me a headache.
The aviation kerosene used by the Air Force, the gasoline used in trucks, and the diesel used in tanks are already making us dizzy. If we want to expand the size of our armored forces, we must ensure the supply of these fuels.
"Okay, let's not discuss this now." Su Rui sighed, trying hard to put aside the worry of lack of fuel, and turned to everyone: "This time the Japanese army has mobilized 90% of the Eleventh Army for the Nanchang Battle.
We have troops, even the 21st here have troops to participate, this gives us an excellent opportunity, if we don't take advantage of it, we would be very sorry for Ando Rikichi."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed. They had been following Su Rui for so long, and they knew for a long time that their commander was a guy who had no profit and couldn't afford to be early. How could he be so rare in this kind of advantageous thing? Since he said
Having said these words, he must have had another idea in mind.
Suri waved his hand, "Let's go, everyone, follow me!" After saying that, Suri took the lead and walked towards a large grass-green tent behind.
After entering the tent, Suri walked to the middle of the tent and stopped. There was a table in the middle with a huge map on the table.
Su Rui turned his gaze to everyone, and after turning his piercing eyes around everyone's faces, he said: "You should all know, now the Japanese are preparing to launch the Battle of Nanchang. For this battle, Gang
Neiji Murura plundered all his money. Even the 21st Army stationed in Guangdong and Fujian had to send troops to help on a voluntary basis. This shows that the Japanese are determined to win Nanchang!"
"Hahaha..." Seeing Su Rui's funny words, everyone laughed.
Suri continued: "Since the old devil Ando Rikichi wants to help the 11th Army to take Nanchang, we naturally cannot and have not expressed it. Everyone, how should we express our expression?"
When everyone heard this, they thought, "Hoho... there's another war going on," and everyone became active.
Li Yifeng patted his chest and said: "Military seat, this is not easy. There are only a fifth division with more than 20,000 people in Yangchun. You only need to allocate the armored regiment to our division and give me enough air support. I will
I guarantee that I can get Yangchun for you within a week!"
Everyone was happy when they heard this. Look at what this guy said. He will give you enough air support and assign an armored regiment to your division. Who doesn't know how to fight this kind of battle? You are still needed.
Lin Shiqian said immediately: "Commander Li, your calculations are too good. If you say so, the army can win the battle even if it sends a pig, so why send you? Look.
Is it lively?"
Li Yifeng also felt that what he just said was a bit off, and said with a blushing face: "Then... I don't want this armored regiment anymore. As long as the military base is assigned to me a flying regiment, I will be sure to win Yangchun."
At this time, Bai Jingran also spoke, "Military commander, let's give this task to our 400th Division. Our 400th Division has not fought any decent battles since its establishment. This time, none of you should follow us.
I'll grab it and leave the matter of fighting Yangchun to our 400th Division."
Seeing Bai Jingran also jump out, Li Yifeng and Lin Shiqian were silent. Bai Jingran was also an old man who fought out of Nanjing with them. Not only was he senior, but he also had rich combat experience and tactics.
A top student in Germany who drank foreign ink, once he said these words, everyone had to sell his face.
Seeing that Bai Jingran also stood up, Su Rui smiled and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone, stop fighting. I decided to send out three divisions together for this battle, so none of you are afraid of not having a fight!"
"
"What? Three divisions dispatched together?"
The expressions on everyone's faces became exciting. Now the Three Hundred Army has been reorganized. The combat troops alone include three infantry divisions, a heavy artillery brigade, an air defense brigade, an armored regiment and a guard regiment. These troops alone are
There are more than 60,000 people. If all of them are dispatched, wouldn’t that look too high on the Japanese? (To be continued)
