    "Do you think you are the only ones who are not afraid of death?"

    Looking at the Type 4 flying straight towards him, the pilot of a zd20 gritted his teeth and then pulled the control stick, and also rushed straight towards the Type 4 flying directly opposite him.

    "die"

    On different planes, two pilots said at the same time

    At this time, both the sky and the ground have evolved into a Shura field

    In the sky, because both sides are very aware of the importance of this battle, every pilot is fighting desperately. The gorgeous aerial skills of the past have been completely abandoned, and every pilot has only one thought in his heart,  That is to kill your opponent, even if the price is your own death

    On the ground, the surrounded troops crossing the river also knew very well that if their way of survival was cut off, then they would only face the end of annihilation, and they would very likely become the first unit to be annihilated since the war began.  force

    Although the two divisions that have crossed the river are not ace troops, they are also members of the main group army. This kind of joke is not funny, not to mention that they neither want to die on the battlefield nor fall into the hands of the enemy, so the only way  That means breaking out toward the rear. As long as you can break through to the river bank, you can take the boat you came from and retreat to the other side of the river

    At the same time, the National Defense Forces on the other side of the river also launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops on the other side under the orders of He Zhuguo, hoping to cross the Bodo River and rescue their surrounded comrades

    "How could it be possible for you to succeed so easily"

    With the intelligence at hand, Yamashita Fengwen quickly analyzed the actions of the National Defense Forces¡ª¡ªIn fact, he didn¡¯t need any intelligence. Even without intelligence, Yamashita Fengwen could guess what He Zhuguo wanted to do, because he was also the commander.  Guan Shanshita Fengwen really understands a commander's thoughts in this situation.

    What¡¯s more, under such circumstances, can He Zhuguo really give up the National Defense Forces on the other side of the river?

    "Have the troops captured the river beach?"

    Standing in front of the map, listening to the faint sound of gunfire from the front line, Yamashita Fengwen asked an assistant officer on the side.

    ¡°Not yet, but soon¡±

    "too slow¡­"

    Yamashita Fengwen frowned

    "Notify me, after capturing the river beach, burn the ships on the river beach as soon as possible"

    If you want to cross the river, unless you are swimming across the Hakata River, you must have a boat

    Let¡¯s not mention for the moment how many people in the river crossing force can swim across the Hakata River. You must know that there are many landlubbers in this world. Even if half of the boats are burned, at least half of the people will not be able to cross the river. Therefore, as long as they can  Burning all the ships, and preventing the support of the National Defense Forces on the other side of the river, this battle is half successful

    "clear"

    The assistant officer obviously also thought of this. After his eyes lit up, the assistant officer hurriedly walked away.

    The troops below quickly received orders from Yamashita Fengfumi, but at this time they were still a little far away from the river beach, especially the place where the boats were docked. Although there was only a little distance, it was as close as the end of the world.

    Fortunately, there are still many things in this world that can shorten the distance. Although there are not many, there are some

    "Are you going to attack"

    Looking at the Wehrmacht position not far away and the fire snakes ejected from the machine guns, a Japanese officer gritted his teeth and said

    ¡°If only it were that easy¡±

    Although the Japanese army has been continuously attacking the positions of the National Defense Forces, the closer they get to the rear, the stronger the defense of the National Defense Forces becomes. At this last step, although it is clear that there is only one line of defense left to capture the river beach, they just can't capture it.

    In particular, the Type 37 machine gun equipped by the National Defense Forces has extremely high fire rate, even reaching 1,500 rounds per minute. Although the machine gunner cannot fire continuously for a long time due to the high fire rate, the high fire rate still caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese army.  Just like the cloth tearing machine equipped by the German army

    Of course, anti-aircraft fire also makes the barrel of the gun turn red easily, but this was already taken into consideration when designing the Type 19 machine gun. Therefore, the simple replacement of the barrel was specially emphasized during the design. If the original Type 19 machine gun  If you want to change the barrel, it only takes 7 seconds, and if you are experienced, it only takes 3 seconds.

    As for the improved Type 37 machine gun, it simplifies the replacement of the barrel. When the barrel needs to be replaced, even a novice can change the barrel in 3 seconds

    Therefore, although the barrel of the machine gun needs to be replaced soon after use, the machine gun on the position continues to fire

    So far, the Japanese troops attacking the position have suffered at least more than a thousand casualties.And as the offensive becomes more and more fierce, the number of casualties continues to expand.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Although it is difficult to capture the defense line, at least it cannot be done in a short time, but if it is just a boat on the river beach

    "Order the soldiers below to aim mortars at the river beach and sink all the ships on the river beach."

    "clear"

    Although the river beach cannot be captured in a short time, it is another matter if it is just to sink the ships on the river beach. Of course, this also has a disadvantage, that is, the accuracy of the mortar is not very high, and it cannot be seen.  It's over the river beach, so whether you can hit it or not depends on your luck.

    On the other hand, the Japanese army is mainly equipped with light mortars such as grenades

    Japanese grenade tubes have a caliber of 50 mm and are available in two types. The main difference is the length of the projectile tube. The Japanese army mainly equips grenade tubes with a 254 mm projectile tube. Each Japanese infantry squad is equivalent to a Chinese platoon, with a number of 50 to 70 people.  Each is equipped with a machine gun team with two light machine guns, a grenade team with two grenade launchers and two rifle squads. Later, a team has a grenade launcher and a light machine gun.

    The Japanese army mainly used Taisho 10-year-old grenade launchers and **-type grenade launchers in World War II

    The grenade has a caliber of 50 mm, a weight of only 2.6 kg, and a range of 175 meters. Its design purpose is mainly for the Japanese military to make up for the firepower gap between medium-sized mortars and individual grenades, and at the same time, it can greatly  The enhanced infantry unit is equivalent to the squad firepower of the Chinese Army. The ten-year-old grenade served in the Japanese army for 25 years until the Japanese army was defeated in World War II.

    However, the performance of the Taisho Ten-Year Type was poor. Its range was too short, less than 200 meters, which prevented soldiers from using it at a safer distance. In addition, its accuracy was also poor, which made it quickly replaced by the later Type 10 Type.  replaced by grenade launcher

    The ** grenade is an improved version of the Taisho decade. The caliber is also 50 mm. The total gun length is 413 mm. The barrel length is 260 mm. The total gun weight is 2.7 kg. The barrel weight is 1.6 kg. The barrel foot length is 170 mm.  The barrel plate weighs 1.1 kg, the foot plate is 60 mm high and 67 mm wide. The maximum range is 700 meters and the effective range is 500 meters.

    In addition, the ammunition fired by the grenade has a warhead weight of about 800 grams and a killing radius of about 5 meters. In addition to launching special grenades, the Japanese grenade can also launch standard hand grenades. However, at this time, a propellant bowl must be installed and because the grenades are used as artillery shells to hold their breath.  The model is not good, the range at this time is about 200 meters

    As for the range, the Taisho 10-year-old model equipped by the Japanese army is definitely not enough. Although it is very close to the end of the world, it is still a little far away. At least a distance of two hundred meters is definitely not enough.

    But after all, there are still gun-type grenade launchers, and generally speaking, the launch rate of a grenade launcher is about 30 rounds per minute, which is quite high. After all, the rifles not long ago only fired less than one minute.

    The key is lethality. Although the lethality with a radius of 5 meters is not small, it is for people. For ships, even wooden ships, if the grenade cannot directly hit the ship, it will not be able to cause damage to the ship.  fatal injury

    Therefore, the only ones that can be used at this time are mortars.

    After all, compared to grenades, mortars have much greater range and power.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    "Damn, they're blowing up the ship"

    When the enemy's firepower is concentrated in one place, anyone who is not particularly slow can basically figure out what the enemy is thinking, so when a large number of mortar shells fall on the river beach where the boats are docked,  No matter how slow you are, you will understand what they want to do

    But after realizing it, the commander on the river beach didn¡¯t know what to do

    Conceal the ship?  The entire river beach is only that big. Where else can it be hidden?

    But just leave it alone?  If the boat is gone, even if they persist, can they still let the entire army swim across the river?  And even if reinforcements from the other side arrive, there are so many people that it¡¯s impossible to transport them all back.

    Fortunately, the most equipment of the Japanese army is grenade launchers. The number of mortars is not very large, and the mortars cannot be compared with grenade launchers. In addition, the Japanese army is actually blind, so the hit rate is not the same.  Not high, otherwise the commander might be tempted to hang himself.

    On the other hand, the Japanese army aviation in the sky gradually could no longer hold on.

    Yes, the Japanese Type 4 fighter can indeed compete with the ZD20 in terms of performance. After all, the Type 4 is also known as the best fighter of the Japanese army in World War II.

    However, the number of the fourth type is too small, and the remaining three types are not allowed to fight because they do not want one-sided massacre on the battlefield, so although the four types areThe pilots fought hard, and each one of them fought with the ZD20 of the National Defense Air Force without fear of death, and interfered with the FH7 bombing while fighting. However, after a long time, the Japanese Army Air Force gradually  Can't hold on anymore

    After all, no matter what, when the performance of the aircraft and the ability of the pilot are similar, the only thing left to compare is quantity

    And it is obvious that the Japanese army is at a disadvantage in terms of the number of aircraft

    ¡°Not okay yet???¡±

    In the air force base at the rear, the commander on the control tower listened to the shouts of the pilots on the radio and said loudly to the deputy commander on the side.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know about this either¡­¡± The deputy commander shook his head, ¡°There is no news from General Yamashita yet, I believe it¡¯s not resolved yet¡­¡±

    "Damn"

    Hearing what the deputy commander said, the commander gritted his teeth

    "If we don't hurry up, the troops will not be able to hold on"

    "Then give General Yamashita a call and explain the situation here"

    The deputy commander also knew very well why the commander was so anxious. After all, there are fewer and fewer Japanese fighter jets fighting in the sky. You know, they are the most elite four-type fighter jets of the Japanese Air Force. It is just because of the importance of the Indian battlefield.  This time, at least half of the fighter jets produced were allocated to India. If all these fighter jets were really lost in World War I, even if the commander did not commit seppuku, he would probably die of heartache.

    What's more, the Army is still making no progress. Although their Army Aviation is also a member of the Army, to be honest, they don't want to sacrifice the lives of pilots or equipped aircraft in vain. You must know that both aircraft and pilots are the same for Japan.  extremely precious

    Therefore, it didn¡¯t take long for the commander and deputy commander to call Yamashita Fengfumi by name.

    When he received the call from Lu Airlines, Yamashita Fengfumi also got a little angry.

    After all, in his plan, whether he can cut off the retreat of the Wehrmacht is the most important part. The other part is whether the army aviation fighter jets in the sky can persist until the army cuts off the retreat of the Wehrmacht.

    Now that the Army is still a little bit behind the Air Force, it is already unable to hold on. How can we not make Yamashita Fengfumi anxious?

    Of course, the important thing is that the reinforcements of the National Defense Force on the river are coming in a steady stream. Although they have been pushed back a lot due to the gathering of serious patients on the river beach, if this continues, there is no guarantee that they will not end up being surrounded by the National Defense Force.

    "Tell the people in the Army Aviation Group to let them continue to persevere even if the entire army is killed in the battle."

    At this point, Yamashita Fengfumi is already betting that he can succeed this time.

    If we can succeed, then we can annihilate the two organic divisions of the National Defense Force at once¡ª¡ªthe regular divisions of the National Defense Force, which have infantry, cavalry and artillery. Of course, this is already the Second World War, so the cavalry has been cancelled. At least  Most areas have canceled it, and only a few areas still have cavalry because of the special local environment. In fact, this is not unusual. In some areas, there are still cavalry riding yak.

    Since the cavalry has lagged behind the times, except for the cavalry in some special areas, the rest of the National Defense Forces are already motorized and mechanized units.

    The main components of these troops are infantry and artillery

    Leaving aside the infantry for now, artillery occupies a large number of people in a division.

    However, in this river crossing operation, the artillery was unable to be transported across the river. After all, crossing the river itself was already a very difficult task. It was too difficult to transport the artillery, whose weight was calculated in tons, across the river. In addition,  Artillery was not very important in the initial battle to seize the beach. After all, the distance between each other was not very far. It was enough to just use mortars. Therefore, the artillery did not follow when crossing the river.

    In other words, when crossing the river, the artillery, which accounted for a considerable number of people, did not actually cross the river with them. Therefore, the more than 10,000 people currently defending on the other side of the river are actually composed of infantry regiments from two regular divisions. Among them  Only weapons like machine guns and mortars¡­

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Although the current war situation is not very obvious, under the pressure of the huge air force of the National Defense Air Force, Yamashita Fengfumi has been in a passive situation of being beaten. This kind of situation he has never encountered in the Indochina Peninsula, but now he is facing it every day.  encounter

    Even in normal times, Yamashita Fengfumi needs to live in a well-camouflaged command post, because even at night, National Defense Air Force planes will fly over his head and then drop so many bombs.

    In this era when the air force has begun to show its power, Yamashita Tomofumi is very clear that in such a passive situation,In a war situation, he may not be able to hold the Bodo River, and even Calcutta, the capital of the provisional government of free India, may not be able to hold it.

    However, the Tojo cabinet currently presiding over the Tojo government, especially the leader of the Tojo cabinet, Hideki Tojo, is not in the same faction as Yamashita Hobumi, and they also have certain conflicts with him. After Yamashita Hobumi captured the Indochina Peninsula  At that time, it was for this reason that Yamashita Tomofumi was not transferred back to Japan.

    Therefore, Yamashita Fengfumi must have a good result to protect his status, honor, and life

    And this achievement is to eliminate the formation of the National Defense Forces

    In the Indochina Peninsula, in Taiwan, and in India, the Japanese army has conducted many battles with the National Defense Forces. In these battles, the Japanese army has caused the National Defense Forces to pay hundreds of thousands of casualties, but to eliminate the National Defense Forces in an organized manner, such  The record has never been better. On the contrary, the Japanese army was wiped out many regiments and even divisions. Fortunately, they burned the flags very quickly, so no flags fell into the hands of the National Defense Forces.

    Therefore, if Yamashita Tobumi can eliminate the main forces of the two divisions, then even if he loses the Hakata River, I believe there will be no big problem

    ¡°Now, let¡¯s see if we can take it down before the Army Airlines collapses¡±

    Standing there, Yamashita Fengwen prayed silently

    It was at this moment that the sergeant just rushed in suddenly with a happy face.

    "Your Excellency, news came from the frontline troops that they have cut off the retreat of the National Defense Forces."

    "What? That's great"

    Yamashita Fengwen, who was praying there, was surprised at first, and then he was overjoyed.

    "This time, I finally succeeded."

    In order to capture the river beach and cut off the retreat route of the National Defense Forces, the Japanese army paid a huge price. However, no matter what, they had to capture it and everything would be fine To be continued)
