    He opened the capital with his own hands and covered the eight harems to form a yu.

    This is the national motto of the Japanese Empire.

    Longli respected the virtuous and became a king, respected the law and loved the people and became hegemonic.

    This is the national motto of the Chinese Empire.

    These are two Asian neighboring countries that are similar and have similar national conditions and backgrounds, but are completely different.

    In July, the Battle of Busan and the Battle of Iwo Jima finally began, and were regarded as the last two large-scale battles before the Imperial Defense Forces attacked the Japanese mainland.

    In the sky, fighter planes roared past.

    On the Soviet-German battlefield, both sides actually failed to better understand the modern combat value of the air force. The Soviet and German air forces were more like knights in the sky. Those elite Luftwaffe ace pilots preferred to ravage rookie pilots on the front lines.  Shooting them down to accumulate merit and fame, both sides' attacks on enemy airfields seemed too haphazard and lacked a higher-level overall combat plan.

    This is generally the case when the Japanese Air Force still has a certain strength in the early stage. It always lacks a positive program for large-scale air force operations.

    The Imperial Air Force is their best master.

    After the large-scale installation of BF120, the range of the Empire's rocket launchers suddenly increased from 30 kilometers and 60 kilometers of the early BF30\60 to 120 kilometers. In addition, the command of short-range surface-to-surface missiles began to be transferred to the Imperial Army in large numbers. Northeast China  The National Defense Forces can carry out shielding and devastating attacks on Japanese Air Force airports and radars in advance, and then the Imperial Air Force will launch a large-scale dispatch. Under the cover of a large number of J-402\404 fighters, J-5 Tiger Shark fighter-bombers, H-2\  3 bombers and G-2\3 attack aircraft carried out large-scale attacks on the Japanese army, completely destroying the Japanese artillery positions, railways, transportation, and fortresses, and carrying out large-scale coverage of the Japanese frontline positions.

    For the Imperial Air Force, the biggest threat at this time was the Japanese anti-aircraft guns hidden in woods and buildings. Simply put, the Japanese army had not done too in-depth research on anti-aircraft guns before. The Type 88 anti-aircraft guns in active service were not excellent in performance.  Regardless of the rate of fire, power and range, it can only be regarded as second-rate among the major anti-aircraft guns currently in service in the world. The worst thing is that after experiencing many previous large-scale defeats, coupled with the imperial navy and air force's transportation blockade of Japanese troops stationed in Korea, the Japanese army  The East Asia Expeditionary Force is already at a stage where it is very short of anti-aircraft artillery.

    The Japanese army reluctantly dispatched the Army Air Force from Kyushu Island to support the East Asia Expedition Force, but it was no match for the Imperial Air Force.

    The air force roared into the sky.

    Under the suppression of six divisions of the Imperial Air Force, the Japanese East Asia Expeditionary Force was defeated before the Northeast Defense Forces launched an attack. In the past two months, the Japanese troops stationed in Korea have been in a stage of severe lack of supplies. They can only rely on  His tenacity to fight and his absolute loyalty to the Emperor will sustain him.

    They rely on their deep-seated hatred of the Chinese to continue fighting.

    Xue Yue, who performed outstandingly in the previous Jindaoling battle, has become the commander of the Fourth Army. At this time, he is at the forefront of launching a land offensive against the Japanese army. This is exactly the battlefield he expected. In the large-scale battle between the army and the army,  Destroy your opponents with absolute advantage.

    At the insistence of General Chen Wu, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Northeast Defense Forces, the Central Military Headquarters and the Northeast Defense Forces gave each group army commander more frontline command authority, giving them the right to decide on their own battle tactics. It was like suddenly  Unlocked the chains on tigers like Xue Yue, Huang Baitao, and Liu Yazhao.

    At this moment, Xue Yue felt as happy as a tiger descending a mountain.

    He and his Fourth Army were descending like tigers, while the Japanese East Asia Expeditionary Force's 5th Army on the opposite side seemed to be in its twilight years. At this point in the war, the Chinese and Japanese armies were completely incomparable, and the gap between the two sides was not even a generation.  Two generations are so simple.

    When the Third Sino-Japanese War just broke out, the Japanese Army at least barely had the foundation to compete with the Imperial Central Army. But today, the gap between the two sides in terms of equipment, soldiers and tactical command levels is huge.  The difference.

    The reason for this is that the empire's army has long invested high amounts of money in equipment research and development, which accounts for a very high proportion of the army's military expenditures. However, the upgrading and installation speed of army equipment has always been strictly restricted. It emphasizes research and development and neglects military equipment.  The characteristics of generational replacement meant that the actual gap between the Imperial Army and the Japanese Army was not large at the beginning of the war. However, as the war entered its second year, the Army, supported by huge military expenditures, quickly replaced all new equipment over a ten-year cycle.

    In the past ten years, the Imperial Army's military equipment research and development expenditure has been more than 33% of the Army's military expenditure. The total exceeds the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, France and the United Kingdom combined. With the foundation and production capacity of the Empire's world's largest industrial power, the Imperial Army has become the largest industrial power in the world in two years.  The level of military equipment has jumped from world-class to super-class, and then faced with the second-class Japanese army that has been smashed to pieces, the gap between the two is really not as simple as the difference in the 10s and 20s.??.

    As for the imperial military education, both in scale and overall level, it is far from being comparable to that of Japan. The number of reserves and reserve officers is so large that even if the Imperial Army expands to three times its pre-war size, the overall tactical command capability can still remain the world's third largest.  First-class level, while the Japanese army completely failed to meet this requirement.

    With the war reaching this level, the gap between the Chinese and Japanese armies has been completely widened.

    At this time, the Japanese army will face what will be the strongest army in the world before the advent of the nuclear weapons era. A modern army based on the theory of fire balance, an army equipped with M35 assault rifles, M38 general machine guns, 8mm heavy sniper rifles, and 30mm under-mounted weapons.  grenade launchers and 60\75mm mortars to form the basic infantry armament, a modern army with armor, artillery, infantry, and rocket launchers to build a four-in-one comprehensive balance theory, and a team that uses wireless communications to achieve rapid response at the squad level.  A modern army based on mobility, a modern army that pursues mechanical automation based on speed and fierceness, a modern army with a total of more than 2.2 million personnel that has basically completed modernization and adaptation.

    Before the outbreak of the Battle of Northeastern National Defense Force to Busan, the total size of the entire army exceeded 2.2 million, and the modernization and modification of the entire army was basically completed. Take the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun battalion as an example. In addition to eight 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, the whole battalion is also equipped with armored reconnaissance vehicles, armored command vehicles,  Tracked armored surveillance radar vehicles, automatic loading vehicles, armored communications vehicles.

    Among all the advantages, the leading advantage of 2.2 million M35 assault rifles is the largest. They directly determine the firepower ratio on the battlefield. As General Chen Wu said, war in the era of hot weapons is to use 30 bullets to annihilate an enemy.  The enemy is still a problem of annihilating an enemy with 50 rounds of bullets. Whether it is 30 rounds or 50 rounds, the troops with strong firepower will always have an advantage.

    Fu Zuoyi's lessons learned from the past made Xue Yue unwilling to be too proud and complacent, but he still knew very well that it was impossible for the Japanese army on the opposite side to engage him in a head-on battle. In order to face the Japanese army's positional warfare and mountain warfare head-on, the Northeast Defense Force had urgently increased its firepower**  The number of equipment of the flamethrower has also been improved. The range has been increased to 45 meters. It adopts organizational characteristics similar to the German army. Each flamethrower squad is directly under the jurisdiction of the company. There are 3 groups of 2 people in each group.  A flame gun.

    Every small leading advantage gathered together will eventually lead to an irreversible gap.

    ¡­¡­

    Fighters roared past in the sky, like sharp swords piercing the sky, and black smoke billowed across the earth. General Xue Yue held a telescope and stopped to watch on the distant mountains. The position in front had been blown up by the fierce artillery fire and was as black as scorched earth, and the flames were raging.  Dozens of light tanks advanced with the cooperation of tracked infantry fighting vehicles and two infantry regiments. There were about forty flamethrower squads and about 130 groups of flamethrowers on the entire battlefield.  , these important Pyro soldiers strictly follow the tactical specifications, cooperate with other infantry squads to advance from the rear as needed, and follow the tanks to clear mines and clear trenches.

    There are flames nearly fifty meters long that are constantly raging and killing everything on the battlefield like the tongue of a fire dragon. On the rear side, the soldiers are relatively relaxed. The veterans can even take the time to light up their cigarettes and move forward with the tanks.

    Rugged or low hills are no longer the main obstacle to the advancement of mechanized troops. Although only light tanks and tracked armored vehicles can be used, the Japanese army's lack of heavy firepower and anti-tank guns makes these light tanks like the MT22 capable.  Sweep the battlefield.

    There are still attack aircraft passing by at high speed in the sky from time to time, there are still gunshots from behind, and more dull sounds of mortars and grenades. The large-scale service of assault rifles has changed the rhythm of war. Rhythm is very important, and it is impossible to adapt to the rhythm.  A changing army cannot defeat its opponents.

    When an infantry squad can possess the firepower of an infantry platoon in the past, the rhythm of the Imperial Army infantry's insertion, advance and position attack has been significantly accelerated, which just matches the large-scale mechanized advance. The Japanese army has no chance to face this rapid attack.  As for the ability to counterattack, many times, the Japanese officers' inertial thinking believed that they could hold on. After a fierce attack, one of their infantry squadrons disappeared and all combat effectiveness was completely lost.

    After the Battle of Busan began, on the first day, Xue Yue's Fourth Army advanced thirty kilometers, completely compressing the Japanese army to the Pusan ??level, and basically completed the tasks of the Northeast Defense Forces. Liu Yazhao and Zhang Zizhong's third army  1. The Third Group Army followed, and Huang Baitao's Second Group Army advanced laterally, advancing from west to east, keeping pace with Xue Yue, and simultaneously compressing the Japanese army's maneuvering space from two directions.

    The Japanese army still has about 700,000 land troops in Korea, but it has not organized a large-scale counterattack and battle for positions. The frontline troops will not receive any reinforcements. Once they fall, the troops will basically lose their combat effectiveness.  members died or were captured.

    The Japanese army is already a remnant at sunset, while the Imperial Northeast Defense Force has gradually adjusted to fighting in the Korean War.Under the best conditions of the battle, the final decisive battle between the two sides in the Battle of Busan was almost a one-sided violent attack and a one-sided defeat.

    It is undeniable that the fighting will of the Japanese officers and soldiers is still terrifyingly tenacious and stubborn, even crazy, but it is still so futile.

    The loud sound of the charge horn cannot be heard on the battlefield. The Imperial Army does not need that strange large-scale charge, but relies more on the advancement of tanks, the cross-attack of elite troops, and the multi-point and multi-line attack of infantry firepower combined with the balance theory.  , like a hellhound, quickly eating away at the opponent one after another, constantly annihilating every troop in the attack of fire and artillery, and in the advancement of tanks.

    Good and strict tactical training allows the frontline officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army to have extremely stable and efficient tactical execution capabilities. Faced with various situations, they can better abide by tactical specifications and execute offensive tactics to eliminate enemy troops. Veterans and lieutenants are the most important.  troop support.

    When it was getting dark, Xue Yue's Fourth Army had advanced to Liangshan County, less than 20 kilometers away from the final city of Busan. Huang Baitao's Second Army had broken through the Xian'an County defense line and was still 35 kilometers away from Busan City.  Kilometers apart, the two group armies can actually join forces. As long as the first group army is inserted into Miryang County, the early stage offensive layout of the Battle of Busan will be officially completed.

    Once this stage is entered, the decisive battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies on the Korean battlefield is completely over, because there are no relatively steep mountains around Busan City and Gimhae County to the west. The hills are mostly low, and there are  There are obviously more ditch-type breakthroughs several kilometers wide. In this kind of terrain, the First Army and the four armored tank brigades affiliated to the Army will rush in like tomahawks and directly end this battle.

    With the Imperial Navy and Air Force fully controlling the Korean Strait, it was impossible for the Japanese troops to safely withdraw to the Japanese mainland. Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula were left with only two options: surrender or be annihilated.

    Army General Itagaki Seishiro has replaced Shunroku Hata as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese East Asia Expedition Force in Korea. He has ordered that he will fight to the last man in Korea and will never give in or surrender, and the Northeast Defense Force is happy to fulfill them.

    The terrain around Busan is not even as good as Daegu. Compared with the Chinese Army, which has completed mechanized changes, it is the most suitable place for the final decisive battle. As for how the Japanese army will fight to the last man, this is not what the commanders of the Northeast Defense Force have to consider.  The problem.

    Chen Wu's only worry is that he does not want to see the Japanese army continue to use chemical weapons. Although the Imperial Army has sufficient prevention and counterattack means, Busan is a relatively densely populated urban area on the Korean Peninsula, and it has always been the focus of Japanese colonial operations and ports.  bustling.

    If chemical warfare continues in a place like this, it will not be the best ending for the empire that is about to completely take over North Korea.

    Time has changed many things and many people.

    Ten years as Iran's top military adviser gave Chen Wu more opportunities to think about issues from a global perspective, not only military strategic and tactical issues, but also political and economic issues. In Chen Wu's view, North Korea is  It will be the most important new colony of the empire, equivalent to half of the country. He is obviously unwilling to use chemical weapons here.

    The good news is that the serious warning issued by the Central Cabinet to Japan through diplomatic channels has taken effect. The Central Military Intelligence Department has received the latest intelligence from Japan, confirming that Emperor Hirohito has signed a new order prohibiting the Japanese army from actively provoking chemical warfare again.  During the Battle of Daegu, because the Japanese army initiated chemical warfare, the medium-range missiles of the Imperial Strategic Forces directly used chemical warheads to attack Tokyo, causing heavy losses to Tokyo and depleting domestic morale.

    Yes.

    The lies of the Japanese military base camp can no longer be maintained. As long as China is willing, China can turn Japan into a barren wasteland. China can use chemical warheads to sweep across the entire Japan, causing Japan to lose at least more than 20 million people.

    On the day after the Battle of Busan began, the four armies of the Northeastern National Defense Force successively achieved their strategic offensive goals and encircled Pusan ??on three sides. Coupled with the navy and air force's continued blockade of the Korean Strait, the Japanese army completely became a turtle in the urn.

    At 10 a.m. on the third day, the Northeastern National Defense Force officially launched the final fierce attack on the Japanese East Asia Expeditionary Force. The 4th, 10th, and 33rd Armored Divisions acted as the main force and launched attacks from three sides at the same time.

    In terms of the overall offensive tactical design, Chen Wu did not easily reduce the scale of artillery investment because the mechanized tank troops could once again play a surprise role. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Although the opposite side was an urban area, Chen Wu still used artillery troops on a large scale.  With the input of three artillery divisions and four artillery brigades, plus the artillery regiments and two rocket launcher brigades under each infantry division, the Northeast Defense Force finallyMore than 4,000 artillery pieces were invested in the general offensive.

    In the Battle of Siping in the War of Liberation, neither the Kuomintang nor the Communist Party reduced the use of artillery because Siping was a medium-sized city. The artillery attacks from both sides directly razed the entire Siping to the ground.

    The Chinese have always been very ruthless in fighting wars, even at home, let alone abroad.

    Chen Wu did not think much about the life and death of the Korean people. In his opinion, the urban warfare strategy designed by Itagaki Seishiro was stupid. Most of the local buildings in Busan were mainly wooden structures, and the average size was relatively small and messy. The Empire  The army will not engage in street fighting with the Japanese army here, and razing it directly is the best option.

    Among the population of Busan, there are more than 60,000 Japanese immigrants. This is the statistics of the Central Military Intelligence Department, and these are not within the scope that the Imperial Army needs to take into account.

    Starting from ten o'clock in the morning, the Imperial Army changed its previous conventional arrangement of air-ground integrated tactics and did not dispatch too many air forces. First, the artillery units carried out indiscriminate bombing of Japanese positions and urban areas, releasing artillery shells on the Japanese positions every minute.  As many as 60,000, bombing the Japanese defense line and rear into scorched ruins in just a few minutes.

    The earth roared like a thunderstorm and a mountain cracked.

    The entire area around Busan has been experiencing continuous vibrations, as if there has been an earthquake. Standing on the surface, you can feel the continuous vibrations. Huge explosions come and go, continuously, and roar like mighty rolling thunder.  resounding in every corner of the surrounding land.

    The entire city and the surrounding defense lines were burning with raging fire, and the billowing black smoke spread over dozens of kilometers.

    After the bombardment lasted for thirty minutes and completely smashed the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions, the Imperial Air Force dispatched a large-scale attack. The Imperial Army used more than 6,000 tanks and other armored vehicles as the main force to launch a large-scale deep attack.  A 2nd Tank Brigade equipped with MBT35 main battle tanks was the main force. With the cooperation of the 4th Armored Division and the 11th Tank Brigade, it went directly into the Japanese rear base camp, followed closely by the three infantry divisions of the Fourth Group Army.

    The Japanese defense line composed of hundreds of thousands of troops seemed to be solid, but in fact it was vulnerable. It was completely torn to pieces in less than three hours. The tank troops came directly to the city, launched a forceful attack on the rear positions, and crushed them.

    After that, continuous artillery bombardment continued, blowing the entire Busan City into rubble. The three infantry divisions of the Fourth Army began to serve as the main force. Under the protection of armored infantry fighting vehicles and light tanks, they carried out layer-by-layer attacks on the ruined Busan City.  The battle was advanced layer by layer, gradually penetrating forward like a tide, killing all the Japanese soldiers encountered on the way, taking no prisoners and hiding nothing.

    The gap between the Japanese army and an imperial army infantry squad in light weapons has reached a level that is completely irreversible. The role of assault rifles in military warfare has been clearly highlighted.

    The M35 is a very classic assault rifle. Prior to this, the Imperial Army briefly installed an M33 assault rifle similar to the Type 03 automatic rifle on a small scale. The M35 is the result of another overall improvement based on the M33B.  More mature, stable and excellent than the former.

    Compared with the Type 03 automatic rifle, the M35 has more obvious aesthetic features. The overall appearance design is flat and square, the barrel is thicker, and the scattering effect is good. The butt structure is a traditional engineering plastic butt instead of the folding type of the 03 automatic rifle.  .

    The M35 assault rifle continues to be a 7.62¡Á35mm medium-sized bullet. It has a small radius curvature, stable ballistics, high shooting accuracy, long range, and high power. When the shooting range is closer, the bullet hits at a high speed of 750 meters/second.  It will obviously rupture when targeted, resulting in irregular movement changes, leading to greater internal trauma.

    This type of assault rifle uses a large amount of aluminum alloy and wear-resistant high-strength plastic components, so the empty weight is reduced to 3.5 kilograms. The magazine capacity is 25 rounds. The weight of the full ammunition and scope is 5.4 kilograms. It can be matched with under-mounted grenades.  Launchers, usually 4 to 5 M35 rifles per infantry squad have grenade launchers.

    This high-standard configuration allows the Imperial Army infantry units to have great firepower during combat, which is enough to make up for the disadvantage of the M35 itself's high penetrability and lack of lethality.

    The advantage of the M35 assault rifle is that it takes into account both the rate of fire and the accuracy of mid- and short-range shooting, and has a range that is not weaker than the Hanyang semi-automatic rifle. Compared with the small-caliber 5-6 mm ammunition, its ammunition power still occupies a certain advantage. Although  There is the disadvantage of muzzle jump in anti-aircraft shooting, but this is an inevitable problem. Whether it is the M30 or the M33, the predecessor of the M35, this problem is entrenched.

    No weapon is perfect. As an assault rifle, the M35 at least maintains its absolute dominance in this era.

    The performance of the imperial elite troops in urban street fighting is perfect. These regular troops belonging to the elite infantry divisions of the Central Defense Forces have more reliable training and tactical execution capabilities, as well as an absolute equipment advantage over the Japanese army.The situation includes more outstanding young lieutenants and a large number of experienced professional non-commissioned officers of the National Defense Forces.

    ¡°At least for this year, the Imperial CSKA was the most powerful army in the world. There was no dispute. The only one qualified to challenge the Imperial CSKA was the German Army, which also enjoyed great success on the Soviet-German battlefield.

    If there were to be a full-scale decisive battle between the Chinese and German armies, it would probably be a decisive battle between the two strongest armies in human history.

    Who is the king of the world¡¯s armies? The answer will eventually come between the Chinese and German armies.

    As for the Soviet Red Army, no matter in terms of equipment, performance, or overall tactical quality, the Soviet Red Army is not qualified to be compared with the Chinese and German armies at least this year.

    The Battle of Busan ended very quickly.

    The entire battle lasted until the fourth day, and was almost at its end. General Seishiro Itagaki, commander-in-chief of the Japanese East Asia Expeditionary Force, was also captured by the Special Airborne Division. This general, together with General Hata Shunroku, who had not yet been able to evacuate from the battlefield, did not even have time to commit suicide.  After apologizing, he was captured by the airborne troops who raided at night.

    At this point, the short-lived glorious history of the Japanese Army was once again completely defeated and completely shattered after the Sino-Japanese War of 1911.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
