Nine Hundred and Thirty-Four Stand Firm

"Woman? How can you let a woman go to the battlefield?" Kimura frowned. He is already a veteran at the age of 29. At least he has fought a few decent battles on the Chinese battlefield.乐文◀Novel|So when he was once again enlisted in the army and became a member of the Imperial Japanese Army, he had a unique sense of self-superiority in the face of those immature recruits.

And as a man with Yamato's sense of national honor, he is not in favor of letting women go to the bloody battlefield to fight, because he thinks that should be something that a real samurai should do, not a group of women who are responsible for giving birth .

"It seems that God Amaterasu is really protecting our Great Japanese Empire." Behind Kimura, the prominent regiment captain pressed his command saber, squeezed into the crowd, took a look and said, "Masters, our enemy has already Too weak to protect their women and children, victory is at hand! Long live the Empire of Japan! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Go on!"

"Long live! Long live!" When His Majesty was mentioned, the Japanese soldiers' mental state immediately became three points more excited. As a force that has been fighting in China, the Japanese Kwantung Army was not affected by the defeat of the Japanese army in the Battle of Imphal. The fact that Marshal Yamamoto's fifty-six navy lost the Solomon Islands is still kept in the hands of the Japanese base camp as a top secret at this moment, so the morale of the entire Kwantung Army is still quite high.

Among these soldiers, there are still people who believe that, apart from the scary equipment "tanks" made of steel, the infantry combat quality of the Imperial Japanese Army should be the best in the world.

In all fairness, in 1930, the training level of the Japanese Army could be said to be one of the best in the world. At least before 1935, that is, when there was no large-scale military expansion, the infantry of the Japanese Army could pat their chests and say that they were the best in the world. The best - of course, the German grenadiers, paratroopers, SS, and special forces all said so, the specific truth is untestable.

As for the two skills that the Japanese Army trains most desperately, one is bayonet fighting and the other is precision shooting. It can be said that every Japanese veteran is half a sniper fed with bullets. The strong individual combat capabilities of the Japanese army can be said to be obvious to all.

In addition, the Bushido spirit of the Japanese Army is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the soldiers all have very firm thoughts of loyalty and patriotism, so the fighting will is very strong. According to the judging criteria of the German army, it can be regarded as the "SS" with powerful combat skills, which also reflects the advantages of the Japanese army from another aspect.

However, a head of state named Akado far away on the European continent gave his most pertinent evaluation of the Japanese army: "The Japanese army is the strongest 'World War I' army in the world." The meaning of this sentence That is to say, the Japanese army can be regarded as the strongest army in the world from the perspective of World War I.

But is this the First World War? Obviously not. The American and German armies are trying to fill their troops with cars and tanks,

Desperately let the cannons keep up with the speed of the infantry and even the tanks; the soldiers on both sides fought on the front line for an hour, and the ammunition consumed was calculated in tons-and the Japanese army is still playing with bayonets, which seems a bit out of date.

After the entire Japanese attacking troops took a few minutes of spiritual opium, they were ready to go on the road again with joy. They have now successfully crossed the "line of defense" of the Soviet army, and victory is just around the corner. So everyone picked up ammunition and weapons from their dead colleagues and moved on.

"Boom!" Before walking a few steps, a Japanese soldier who was walking in the front stepped on a land mine buried in the woods. The unlucky soldier was not dead, but lost a leg. Lie on the ground with blood all over his face. The medical soldiers hurried up to bandage him, while the rest of the soldiers continued to move forward amidst shouts.

In the General Headquarters of the Soviet Army in the Far East, the young Cuikov was dispatching troops. He already knew that the Japanese army was crossing the actual line of control between the two sides, and had already engaged in battle with some Soviet border defense forces.

In the eastern border area, some delaying defense lines temporarily arranged by female soldiers have been completely broken through. The Soviet army lost thousands of female soldiers conscripted. These female soldiers were indoctrinated with the idea of ​​fighting to the death. speed. Compared with the precious young and strong, these sturdy female soldiers became the first batch of "cannon fodder" to be sacrificed in Cuikov's hands.

3,000 such female soldiers were scattered in the border areas and used as the first prominent cordon to provide early warning for the troops, and they were also regarded as a touchstone for weighing the Japanese army. Cuikov hopes to assess the Japanese army's determination to fight and slow down the Japanese army's advance. As for those old supplies and scattered food and ammunition consumption, he really didn't care much. Backed by the American aid and supply base in the Far East, which is piled up with materials, he has a lot of things to squander at will.

And Chuikov is not sitting still. In addition to the brutal consumption of some of the female soldiers who brought him the intelligence that the enemy's attack had begun, he was gathering the armor in his hands. Even these backward kv-1 tanks and t-26 are already vulnerable to the German army like paper, but they can still be regarded as powerful tanks in front of the Japanese army.

Therefore, it is not that Cuikov has no soldiers at his disposal. On the contrary, he has too many cards in his hand-two "well-equipped" armored divisions are moving eastward. From the side, the Japanese army who broke into the line of defense was fatally attacked. If these two shabby armored divisions are thrown to the Western Front, they will be wiped out by the German armored forces in a blink of an eye, and these tanks are used in the Far East, and they are really as powerful as iron-clad lions.

The Japanese army where Kimura was located did not wait for the attack of the Soviet armored forces, so they stopped their offensive. On the way to the north, the Japanese army inevitably hit the core defense zone of the Soviet army. These heavily guarded areas by the Soviet army became a nightmare for the Japanese infantry.

The fierce firepower made the Japanese attack a joke. Most of the Soviet soldiers held the M1 Garand rifles brought by the Americans and squatted in the trenches to shoot wildly, causing huge damage to the Japanese soldiers who were used to charging with bayonets. Counting a small number of sand submachine guns and various machine guns-the firepower that the Soviet Union had no advantage in front of Germany instantly became a firepower advantage that the Japanese army could not contend with.

This is like saying that the second best martial arts master in the world is abused by the teacher who is the number one in the world all day long. Finally, one day he goes down the mountain and finds that the guy who beats the number three in the world is effortless. big distance). So the current Soviet defenders are very happy to fight. They pour ammunition at the Japanese soldiers and beat their opponents so hard that they can't hold their heads up.

The offensive and defensive posture on the Soviet-German battlefield was changed here, and now it is replaced by Japanese soldiers who need to rush forward frantically, approaching the Soviet positions to prevent the Soviets from exerting their firepower advantage. So just a few days after the start of the war, the Japanese side had killed corpses all over the field, and the losses were quite heavy.

After finally breaking through several Soviet defense lines, the Japanese high-level officials have already discovered that their advancing speed is simply too slow to say anything. The quick fix that was originally planned has turned into another protracted war of attrition.

As for the Soviet Union, a miracle finally appeared on Japan's side: the initiative that Stalin lost in Germany seems to have been found back on Japan's side - Chuikov was promoted to the Soviet Union's general, and Stalin seemed to put all his hopes, They are all pinned on the seemingly more feasible, distant Far East Raiders.

Kimura lay on the corpse of his comrade-in-arms, and with the 38-type rifle in his hand, he aimed at a trench of the Soviets on the opposite side. His ruler showed that the opponent was 300 meters away. This distance was nothing to him, so he still kept breathing very calmly.

Waiting for the Soviet soldier who had just thrown a grenade to show up, that's what Kimura wanted to do. After all, the opponent's firepower was too powerful, which made him unwilling to forcefully get up and rush towards those terrifying opponents.

Sure enough, the Soviet soldier showed his head. He was firing his rifle, and he didn't seem to notice Kimura, the enemy who was aiming at him. Kimura sneered, pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the opponent's head. Kimura could see the movement of the Soviet soldier who was shot and fell down.

He pulled his bolt, and the slender 38-type rifle provided a very long shooting distance, which of course also caused length and other performance disadvantages. This kind of weapon has great penetrating power, but it doesn't have much lethality. However, for the Japanese army who emphasizes precise shooting, this little shortcoming is still within a tolerable range.

Loading the bullet, he took aim at a new target, and it wasn't long before he continued firing, reducing another Soviet soldier to a twitching corpse. Some Japanese soldiers took the opportunity to rush into the Soviet trenches, and then the main way of fighting became a bloody bayonet fight. The Japanese army clearly had an advantage in this aspect, and the desperate rush finally drove the Soviets out of this position.

"Mr. Kimura, you did a good job!" Cao Chang praised while charging forward with Kimura. He just saw the appearance and effect of Kimura shooting and killing the enemy. Those who are capable are obviously welcomed everywhere. After all, this is not an era of relying on appearance.

The Japanese army entered the deserted town in a few minutes. This was the first important strategic stronghold they captured after entering the Soviet Union. This shows that they have finally found the right direction of their attack, and they have finally gained a firm foothold in the Soviet Union.
