Chapter 615 The Song of Multiple Turrets (16)
An hour later, the follow-up troops of the Armored Mountain Brigade flocked to the scene, hundreds of tanks flew around from both sides, and swept away all the remaining forces of the 63rd Regiment in one go. Except for the few who escaped in the dark, all the armored troops and the difficult-to-move cannons were killed.
When the next morning, when the Japanese army came from the direction of Cluron to a nearby place, they were frightened by the information fed back by the air force reconnaissance planes! The main force of a brigade, the auxiliary artillery and heavy weapons of a division were all wiped out, and they were wiped out overnight!
Sasaki, who was in charge of Ulaanbaatar, did not sleep all night. After receiving the battle report in the early morning, he was so shocked that he couldn't even eat breakfast. He buried his head on the battle map for a few minutes, threw away the pencil ruler, and sighed at the staff officer: "The empire has too little understanding of the enemy! Our preparations are seriously insufficient!"
This is just nonsense. If you understand it enough, how could you make the mentally retarded move of dispersing the armored forces to meet the enemy? How big is the gap between the Japanese mechanized forces and the Chinese front army? The Army is not unaware of it. It would be wishful thinking just to turn the situation around with a few super tanks!
The staff of the 10th Division could not think of a better solution. He looked at the division commander with a stern face and planned. The result was indeed a frustrating result: "Get out! We can't defend Mongolia by relying on ourselves. Let the Chinese people be arrogant for a while now!"
Withdraw!? Not to mention the staff, the defense forces that stick to their posts cannot understand such orders! What a vast land on the Mongolian Plateau, although there is nothing else to do except grazing. But this is a vast territory after all, it represents the strength of a country. The Kanto Army used the sacrifice of 50,000 people to give up casually just because someone rushed over? This is too irresponsible!
The protests were heard one after another, and Sasaki shouted angrily: "This is the decision of the base camp and the Kanto Army Command. No one can raise objections! Execute the order!"
The defense forces of less than one regiment immediately stopped. No matter how loudly they shouted, they had to face the reality and use less than 10,000 infantrymen to stop hundreds of tanks from advancing as the vanguard's armored troops? There was no other result except to die!
But you always have to do it, and you will not be willing to withdraw like this!
At 6 o'clock in the morning on September 24, when the Japanese army of the 63rd Regiment completely collapsed, a large group of Japanese fighter jets flew from the northwest. The Nakajima aircraft widely equipped by the Army Airlines formed a total of more than fifty formations, and rushed towards the armored troops that were slowly advancing with blue smoke all over the mountains.
The radar alarm sounded soaring. Wang Zhangtang calculated the number of enemy planes and immediately became overwhelmed. He grabbed the radio and called in the back: "The Japanese Air Force is here. Brothers, should it be time to move?"
Huang Panyang, commander of the Air Force Flight Regiment of the Group Army, directly connected and said lazily: "Don't worry! You will come when it's time to come. General Wang just push forward!"
Wang Zhangtang was very unhappy with the usual American style of the Air Force from top to bottom. Even though he had reached the critical moment of 100,000, the group of people still had a cynical tone, which was too unreasonable!
Unfortunately, he couldn't control the air force ground, so he hung up the threat with a humming voice, and turned around and assigned to the following: "The Japanese Air Force has come here, and those who don't want to die will cheer me up. The boys of the air defense force, hurry up and take their place. Those bastards in the air force may not be in charge!"
It’s better to rely on yourself than anyone else. Wang Zhangtang secretly became ruthless. When his organization expanded again, he must prepare a direct air force to command it. No one’s face is needed!
Among the five regiments of the Mountain Brigade, each armored battalion has an air defense company and another directly affiliated to the brigade. All of them have dual-equipped 20mm air defense machine guns and 12.7mm four-unit heavy machine guns, which are slightly dragged back during combat, but at this time, positions are pouring into the positions to fill the gaps. The air defense radars directly under the regiments have turned on the air search mode, and the Communication Center of the China Unicom Brigade Department shared real-time reconnaissance information from space and the sky.
Two Japanese flying regiments stationed in Mongolia formed six groups of aircraft in front and back. The first thing to bear was Wang Zhangtang's main attack line, which caused great damage to its armored troops!
There are few clouds in the sky in the early morning, and the smoke of gunpowder is covered with gray. The agile fighter plane flashes from the high place and dives down. It is clearly seen that among the vast Gobi grasslands, clusters of steel ruins are blazing with curling smoke. Not far away, the enemy tanks that are loosely distributed and hidden are moving forward slowly with their might!
"Yahe! Kill them all and avenge the chariot troops!"
When the Air Force deals with the Army, it is a pressureless one-sided massacre. Such experience is already quite common in Japanese flying regiments. Can you not defeat your Air Force and still kill ground equipment?
Groups of Nakajima Ki-43 Oscar fighters screamed and dived towards the ground. At a height of 500 meters, two 12.7mm heavy machine guns that imitated the American Browning ejected intermittent flames, plowing out two strands of flying dust that were constantly blowing and splashing more than two meters high on the ground, as sharp as a knife to sweep across the top of the chariot.
Although the "cheetah" tank with composite armor was unharmed, the strange screams caused by the large-caliber bullets were really shocking. Each tank urgently released smoke bombs, and the thick blue smoke covered the Gobi Desert in the blink of an eye, hiding the tank in the middle. In less than a minute, the entire sky was covered in chaos and could not see anything!
At the same time, air defense forces scattered on both wings opened fire one after another. Under the unified command of the omnidirectional fire control radar, dozens of machine guns owned by more than a dozen armored air defense vehicles fired across the span of a two-kilometer radius, and instantly launched a uniform death grid at a high altitude. Several Japanese aircraft were caught off guard and were hit. The engine or fuel tank was blown up, and the rolling smoke fell down, exploding Teng Qinxin's fireworks ball "rumbling" to explode.
The "Tianqing Chariot" in charge of Wang Zhangtang is as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the dark. No matter from any angle, the small hill-like car body is the priority target. A squadron of nine Japanese aircraft dived from high altitude in three waves, screaming frantically to his head!
On the chariot, three 25mm six-barrel near-defense guns and four 40mm dual-mounted machine guns were raised at the same time. Just as the Japanese planes reached a distance of two thousand meters, they suddenly opened fire. In an instant, several firewalls of varying distances were formed at a high altitude. Three Japanese planes in the forefront were blown to disintegrate in the air, burning in a boiling manner and falling down!
The other six were obviously not frightened and rushed towards the front without fear. Three close-defense guns aimed accurately under the radar command and shot several long shots in a row. Piles of small shells formed a sharp and unparalleled fire knife a thousand meters away. The Japanese planes were chopped and exploded. In less than two minutes, all of them were broken!
"That's true!" Wang Zhangtang slapped the chair with great enthusiasm. It was indeed an all-around chariot. Just a few broken planes wanted to get a bargain? Dreaming!
Half a tank surrounded him, forming two annular protective rings around it. The large-caliber air defense cannons directly affiliated to the air defense battalion opened fire one after another. The 40mm Bofos double-tube run and 76mm single-tube anti-aircraft cannon fired together. The barrage formed blocked a squad of Japanese aircraft in the middle of the road and couldn't move. The random explosion of shells swept through the air, causing holes in the Japanese aircraft under the weak armor, and thick smoke rolled!
"Baga! The Chinese tank troops are very cunning! They have actually arranged so much air defense firepower!"
The Japanese flight regiment's colonel screamed in anger, and had to command the remaining aircraft to pull up to a height of three thousand meters to change the direction of the attack. At this moment, a large cloud slowly flew from a distance. When I looked closely, there were more than 30 huge airships!
Each airship, which is more than 300 meters long and fifty or sixty meters wide, looks like clouds in the air, flying over in groups, directly covering the sky above a small city, looking spectacular!
But in the eyes of the Japanese Flying Corps, this is simply a prey gifted by Amaterasu! Is there any better flight target in the world than an airship? With such a large physique, a flight speed of less than 200 kilometers, it is not effective in turning, cannot be up and down, a thin shell, and an expensive body. Taking down one is no different from destroying a warship!
The Japanese Flying Group Colonel shouted in surprise: "Yehe! What's the military achievements that came to the door! Warriors, rush up and destroy them!"
More than 30 Japanese planes flocked to the top like flies, and quickly seized the high point with their speed of up to 550 kilometers per hour and flexible maneuverability. The heavy machine gun aimed at the seemingly clumsy airship cluster and was about to open fire!
But unexpectedly, the big guys in front of him were not unarmed elephants, but Tyrannosaurus rex covered with stings! The enemy planes swarmed in their eyes were like mosquitoes. The opponent had just reached a distance of two thousand meters and spread out on the top of the airship in a four-angle cone-shaped forward formation. A total of 100 double-equipped 20mm machine cannons suddenly opened fire!
Each ship had at least two turrets on its back, at least two turrets on both ribs, and more than a dozen of them fired together. The fire density was no less than a group of cruisers' attacks on the air. The overwhelming explosion warheads instantly interlaced into the sky with dozens of square kilometers. The Japanese aircraft formation in front plunged into the fire net, and exploded on the spot, causing heavy losses!
"Ah! The Chinese are cunning! The airship is equipped with machine guns, and the conscience is very bad!"
The screams of anger ring sounded in the radio channel. Seven or eight Japanese planes were smashed in the sky and fell hustled. The second wave of ten was injured for 40% or 50% of them. They hurriedly pulled up and rushed into the clouds. After dodging the attack on the front, they looked at the big guy who was slowly advancing like a giant whale below. They were so scared that they dared not do more dangerous actions for a while--Who knows how many ambushes there are under the surface?!
