Chapter 201 Introducing the Wolf into the Room (1)
With the advantage of tanks and tanks, the Central Army continued to intersperse on the battlefield, splitting the brigade of Japanese soldiers. The reduction of Japanese soldiers on the ground to a certain number of air defense capabilities was also greatly reduced. The Central Army aircraft, which originally only dared to bomb at high altitudes, have now begun to dive bomb and dive strafing the Japanese soldiers on the ground.
In order to deal with several air raids and machine gun strafing in northern Shaanxi, the Japanese, who were divided in northern Shaanxi, racked their brains to invent various solutions when air defense weapons were almost no. The first one was naturally a rifle.
The range of the 38th Cover is still guaranteed. The height of the Central Army aircraft will not be too high when dive bombing and strafing is low. The lowest dive strafing is only 100 meters away from the ground. The Japanese said that it is still difficult to throw grenades and explode them at air speed, but it is completely within the range of the 38th Cover.
The Japanese's plan is that when the plane dives and strafuses come, everyone should not avoid it, but instead try to stand in a row, and everyone should aim at the dives and shoot together.
Even if the dive time of this aircraft is the Japanese veteran, even if it is the Japanese veteran, it may not even be able to finish five bullets in the 38th hood, but it doesn’t matter why you have to stand in a platoon, just to increase the number of bullets. The impact of hitting the fuselage is not that great unless you directly hit the pilot's key or the aircraft's key.
This tactic really made the Japanese successful several times. In the past three to five years, the Japanese in northern Shaanxi first set a record of rifle*. Unfortunately, none of these successful Japanese could return to the north of the Yellow River alive. Whether it was the world record or the successful experience, they were hidden by Zhang Zhizhong.
Zhang Zhizhong has always only one recording method for planes crashing outside air combat, that is, mechanical failure crashes.
This is also the highest instruction of Principal Jiang from Nanjing. After learning that Nanyang military industry might have more advanced aircraft, the principal felt that the Type 22 aircraft that purchased a large amount of equipment from his own. Compared with the latest Type 24 fighter, the range is shorter and the firepower is weak.
Song Ziwen and Jin Batian had an agreement at that time. If the arms sold by Nanyang Military Industry were lost due to failures, Nanyang Military Industry would refund the malfunctioning arms or exchange them for new goods.
Looking at the entire Shaanxi Battle, the Civil 22 interceptor took off and landed tens of thousands of times. Jin Batian did not doubt anything about the request of Nanjing Central to replace the Civil 24 aircraft. Jin Batian seemed to be a plane built in the early 1930s with the technical level of the ground crew. The failure rate was actually very low, and it would be nice not to pay the pilot.
Those third-, fourth- and fifth-generation aircraft that claim to be advanced aircraft will still fall if they fail. Not to mention fighter jets, the presidential special plane will still fall if it should fall. (Katzinsky was shot) But don’t think it would be safe if it doesn’t take a plane or a train. (Zhang Zuolin was shot) There is no safe place in this world, even if something happens after getting off the train, it will still happen. (Haibu Ito is shot)
Okamura Neji thought that Hohhot would not be able to send a large number of reinforcements for the time being, so he ordered to retreat directly from the floating bridge to the Yellow River and deploy defenses along the north bank of the Yellow River. As for the Japanese devils who remained on the south bank of the Yellow River, there were tens of thousands left and did not run out, there were no more. If they hadn't kept the speed of the Central Army's steel torrent, Okamura Neji would have fought a back-to-back battle on the bank of the Yellow River.
Those who retreated across the Yellow River pontoon bridge for several consecutive days were all Japanese. After knowing that the Central Army's planes exploded the pontoon bridge, the Central Army's tanks and tanks also came to show their faces and retreated in a hurry - the artillery positions of the Japanese opposite were not for nothing.
At this time, Okamura Yasuji ordered the inspection personnel of various departments. Except for the Third Division, Masaki Ito, who did not know how to live or die, the division commanders only had more than 180,000 Japanese soldiers who retreated from the south bank of the Yellow River - almost no wounded. Okamura Yasuji remembered the glorious scene of commanding more than 500,000 soldiers to prepare for a decisive battle with the Central Army at most.
Looking at the turbid Yellow River water, Okamura Yanji almost had the urge to jump down. This was his first time commanding the large army with the support of the Emperor and the base camp. It was without saying that the generals were damaged and even lost the first oil well on the mainland that had been captured. You should know that oil from the oil well indicates that there are oil fields nearby. The most scarce resource of the empire is oil, which is a strategic material that needs to be imported from abroad.
Without refined oil, planes cannot fly, warships cannot go to sea, and cars and tanks become decorations. Although it can still be imported now, how can a real power be pinched to the artery of oil by others? More than one downstream industries related to the petrochemical industry, such as fertilizers, pesticides, chemical fibers, medicine, etc., have to wait for petrochemicals to start eating.
When you are completely dependent on oil imports, they can threaten you with oil embargo and let you do this or that. It’s fine if you are obedient, but if you are disobedient, you will directly return to the state of an agricultural country.
To the Japanese who have just transformed into an industrial country, the thirst for oil is far from being understood by the principal who is still in the unfinished cause of unification. (Principal: We are backward agricultural countries)
It was discovered that the Japanese were on the north bank of the Yellow River were on high alert, and the Central Army did not force the river to cross the river. Now the biggest problem of Zhang Zhizhong is to solve the scattered Japanese in the encirclement of the south bank of the Yellow River. The number of these Japanese was different, with thousands or hundreds in larger places, and dozens or even a few people in a group that insisted on the holy war strategy of resisting life to the end.
The Japanese who live in cockroaches have strong survival and adaptability. They can't break through the siege and stick to the spot. When water and food are scarce, they kill the wounded. If there is not enough bullets, they use bayonets to rely on the terrain to fight melee street battles. As for grenades, they are kept for the last time to fight hard.
The overall situation in Ningxia, Shaanxi, south of the Yellow River, has been determined. Zhang Zhizhong has to send tank troops and chariot troops back when he deliberately reduces casualties in the Central Army, and cooperates with the dive bombing of the plane to erode these Japanese devils left on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Before the remaining Japanese were cleared, Nanjing could not wait to report on the war in Shaanxi in domestic newspapers. Since this battle was used by Zhang Zhizhong as a logistics force and a military station, all wars of all sizes were completed by the Central Army. The principal praised Zhang Zhizhong in the newspaper: "The more than 600,000 invaders were defeated by 500,000 troops (the Japanese reinforced their troops several times. Although Okamura Nishi ordered more than 500,000 troops at the highest time, he was indeed sent to Shaanxi, south of the Yellow River, 600,000 people), recovering the country and commanding large corps to fight, created a miracle in the world. He is a rare excellent general for the country and nation."
Zhang Zhizhong himself didn't care about these praises, but he just felt that the commander of the 71st Army might not be able to continue, but the military level is already the highest commander of the Central Army, and the position of commander of the group army can only be obtained during wartime.
"It seems that we still have to go back to the education and look good." Zhang Zhizhong in Yan'an closed the recent newspaper and put it back on the table.
The only female prisoner camp in Yan'an City has also returned to quiet.
In addition to the rumbling cannons outside Yan'an on the first day, after the female prisoners brought a glimmer of hope to the female prisoners, not only did the imperial army not come to the city, but even the guns and cannons disappeared outside the city, but more female prisoners accepted their lives and scolded Hirohito in Chinese or Japanese, saying that he should die and get food. They should know that the cannons on the first day were mostly hitting the Japanese. I don't know what they felt.
The Dark Night Killer sister doesn't care whether they eat or not, but it's time to give them an injection. People in this era have zero resistance to penicillin, and every injection will change significantly. Their meal work is made by female prisoners who have a good attitude of confessing guilt and no infectious diseases.
Since the Central Army only supplies rice and white flour as staple food, these hundreds of female prisoners could eat salted rice balls and big pot dishes every day. Jin Batian’s money here is that he bought beef and mutton on side dishes (this is cheap) for female prisoners to stew big pot dishes. After more than two days, the hardest soprano finally couldn’t stand the invasion of stomach acid, the aroma of the meal, and the betrayal of his companions. He also followed suit and stood in front of the cafeteria with his weak body and shouted, “Hyuri deserves to die.”
The newspapers from the local and colonial areas of the Japanese were collectively blinded by the losses south of the Yellow River in Ningxia, Shaanxi, and instead fabricated articles about the bravery of the missing Third Division and the solidarity of the Yellow River defense line. Faced with Principal Jiang's unswerving boasting of Zhang Zhizhong, the Japanese also praised Okamura Yasuji, who had lost his troops and generals, so that the world was unparalleled. Even the allusions of Okamura Yasuji could be placed on Okamura's head.
The balloons in the newspaper are getting bigger and bigger, as if the Japanese family lacked Okamura Nishiji, the sky would collapse. This is good for Okamura Nishiji himself. At least now at the forefront of the news war, if the world's number one general wins every battle (the latest title in the island country), a discerning person might see something.
After this great defeat, the Japanese understood one thing. The Central Army was no longer the Central Army during the September 18th period of the Songhu period a few years ago. Even if the Japanese were millions of troops (there were at least four million local colonies, most of which were in the three northeastern provinces), they would be at most a loss-making situation, and this was still on land.
The navy is even more pessimistic. It would be nice to rely on existing battleships and shore defense guns to defend the island. Of course, the navy said this to require more funds and buy more advanced warships. The emperor-class main warships purchased from Britain this time were good. They were only injured and not sunk in the naval battle of the same level. The sunken all made all domestically produced, which made the face of the Asian No. 1 naval powerhouse back then.
