Chapter 790 Ah! Navy (21,2600 Votes Plus Additional Content)

Takeda attacked first and asked Shirakawa: "How many casualties do you plan to pay to fight for these two strongholds?"

"Let's add a few chariots to one brigade." Bai Chuan initially stated his psychological expectations, and everyone frowned a little.

But what was even more unexpected was that Takeda shook his head slowly after hearing this, and said something that shocked everyone: "If both sides do not use aircraft and heavy artillery, and only use infantry and mecha forces to fight, just one infantryman If a regiment and a chariot brigade attack, let alone 2 hours, they may not be able to defeat it in 20 hours, and the casualties cannot be stopped by a brigade, at least this number..."

He stretched out three fingers and said solemnly: "At least three brigades!"

"You! Bastard!" Major General Bai Chuan's face turned red and he stood up and yelled angrily. An infantry regiment has a total of 3,800 people, and there are only three infantry brigades in total. Now that Takeda Attack is saying that there will be casualties in three brigades, isn't it implying that our side will suffer all casualties? In other words, Takeda Gong believes that he cannot defeat the opponent even if his entire army is destroyed. This is a naked humiliation!

Tanaka Shinichi looked very ugly, but he still asked patiently: "How can you see it?"

Takeda Tao picked up the photos and explained them one by one:

"This is a Tiger tank, the estimated number is 4-6, and the rest are No. 4 or American Sherman tanks. The Tiger tank can penetrate any tank of our brigade at a distance of 1,500-2,000 meters, and our army only It can effectively penetrate them within 300 meters. If our side sends out a large group of tanks and the enemy sends out 20 tanks, our entire army will definitely be destroyed;

This is an American Dodge truck. It is equipped with a 12.7mm Browning heavy machine gun. It is fed by a belt. The firepower is continuous and fierce. The effective control distance is between 600-1500 meters. At close range, the Marine Brigade also has a German-made machine gun. The MG42 general-purpose machine gun has an extremely fast rate of fire and a control distance of 400-800 meters. Regardless of distance or power, the Type 99 light machine gun used by our army is no match at all;

These are American jeeps. Some are equipped with heavy machine guns, and some are equipped with American-made M20 recoilless rifles. The effective range is 5,000 meters, which perfectly suppresses our grenades. Although mortars can also be used, the rebel mortars The quantity will not be small and the quality will be better - they are all German or American; the only advantage we have is the 92 infantry gun. The problem is that the range is still not the opponent of the recoilless gun, and it is definitely insufficient in terms of quantity.

I won’t talk about rifles or submachine guns. Everyone knows which one is better, not to mention that the Marine Brigade also imported brand new assault rifles from Germany..."

"In short, the battle without heavy artillery cover will be fought in this way." Takeda, who was still not satisfied, drew a firepower diagram on the map. "After the rebels waited for our army to enter the 4-kilometer section, they used recoilless guns to suppress it, forcing our army to then use mortars to move and shoot to deal with exposed targets, and use tanks as firepower points to deal with soft targets and our tanks - from 4000 meters to 1500 meters, then gradually knock out our tanks, and then use dense heavy Machine gun fire suppresses our infantry charge; in close combat, the intensive automatic firepower composed of Garand rifles and assault rifles will offset our army's numerical advantage - if the troops rushing forward still have a numerical advantage..."

"You're talking nonsense. This is to enhance other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!" Bai Chuan was so angry that he said, "How can we just compare firepower and weapons? We don't have to fight the battle, and the troops don't need to train. Just show them and compare weapons."

"In terms of training and actual combat experience?" Takeda Kasara sighed, "This is a Marine Corps that has fought in Europe and fought against the US military. It has also received detailed training from German consultants, and its combat effectiveness is not low."

A group of staff officers looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to.

Seeing Tanaka Shinichi's hesitation, Takeda Gong explained: "Sir and everyone, have you heard the jingle summarized by the Indian dispatched troops?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"The best army unit in the commander's eyes is: American logistics, German weapons, and Japanese soldiers; what is the worst army? American soldiers, Japanese weapons, and Soviet logistics." In fact, Takeda believes that Japanese logistics is equally bad, but at least We can still eat, and our soldiers have ammunition and weapons, which is barely better than the Soviet Union.

"The rebels on the opposite side now are a combination of American logistics + German weapons + Japanese soldiers, so I think they are basically invincible. A hard fight will only lead to heavy casualties."

Shirakawa was about to go berserk, and many staff members thought Takeda was exaggerating. Tanaka Shinichi saw that the situation was a little out of control, so he waved his hand to stop Takeda Gong from saying anything. He only said: "Shirakawa-kun, prepare to attack. I will ask the chariot unit to send two brigades to support you!"

"Forget it, I can't afford it...Give me a few more 92 infantry cannons and some iron fists, the tanks are expensive, and let them watch from behind to see how I take this place down."

"You!" Tanaka was a little angry, but he didn't say much, so he just said, "I'll give you 4 hours. I'll watch the battle from behind and show off the reputation of the Guards Division so that the Navy Red Deer can take a good look! The meeting is dismissed now.”

"Yes!" Shirakawa glanced at Takeda Gong provocatively and walked away arrogantly. Takeda Gong shook his head and silently turned around to go to the chariot unit.

"Sir, sir..." He had just taken a few steps when two of his captains ran over, "Why did you say that at the military meeting just now? Are you afraid of the rebels?"

"That's going to die!"

"We are not afraid of death!"

"Then you have to die in a worthwhile way. Forget fighting the Americans. Wouldn't it be interesting to die under the guns and tanks of your own navy?" Takeda asked with an iron heart, "Do you know who is on the other side? Shibasaki. Keiji! The hero of Tarawa, the most powerful general in the navy! Isn’t Shirakawa trying to fight with an egg? The few tanks we have are not enough to defeat the Tiger tanks.”

The two colonels look at me and I look at you. They don’t know how to deal with this situation. Because most of the tanks of the Guards Division are Panzer III tanks and some T-34s, everyone knows that they cannot defeat the Tiger, but no one thinks that the gap is so big. Only the Takeda Attacker who has truly seen the power of the Tiger Only then did I know where the difference was.

"Let him fight. If he hits the south wall, he will naturally turn around. You two should be smart and don't die in the hands of the navy."

Just as the Army Guards Division was preparing to attack the Marine Corps guarding the news agency and radio station, Horikichi was also preparing to attack the Army, targeting Nagata Town - the location of the Army's core staff headquarters and base camp. However, his method was very strange. .

He first called Ishihara Wanji: "Ishihara-kun, I am going to let the troops challenge Nagata Town!"

"Ah...what...I'm warning you, don't mess around!" Ishihara Wan'er panicked. Nagata Town currently has less than one brigade of defensive troops. How can it defeat the wolf-like Marines?

"Don't be afraid, I don't use guns, let alone cannons, I use kendo to compete..." Horikichi laughed, "You don't even dare to accept the kendo challenge, right?"

"I..." Ishihara smiled and scratched his scalp, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"You will know when we come. I will ask Takasu Shiro to bring the troops."

Putting down the phone, Shimomura Sada immediately asked: "Is the Navy going to attack?"

"He's coming to learn the art of swordsmanship."

"What the hell is he doing?" Shun Tada couldn't laugh or cry, "How long has this been, and you still have the heart to learn the art of swordsmanship?"

"Who knows, I hope he is crazy, that will save trouble." Ishihara Wan'er thought for a while, "No, I'm not worried, I have to go down and take a look."

Before the naval force arrived, the iconic loudspeaker sounded:

"The navy delegation asked the army delegation for advice on kendo!"

"The army and navy compete with each other in the art of swordsmanship, and build an empire together!"

"Swordsmanship competition, until the point is reached!"

The guarding army officers and soldiers were dumbfounded. They didn't know how the navy troops came here. However, the order was conveyed very clearly and promptly: "No firing first! No provocation!"

The navy arrived quickly in large trucks and more than 30 tanks. The army had no tanks, so it was inevitable that it looked a little panicked. But the navy's actions were very harmonious - they moved out a pile of wood, and the engineers built a competition platform in the middle of the open space, and then the loudspeaker continued to sound.

"The rules of the kendo competition are as follows: Each side of the army and navy will send out 6 people, including one general, lieutenant general, major general, colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major colonel. The one with the highest military rank will go on stage first. The winner can face the challenge of those who appear in the next round until the end. The winner will be decided; the competition will be done with bamboo knives, and the point will be done without harming the harmony... If the Army wins, the Navy will give 10 tanks as a gift; if the Navy wins, the Army will bow three times to the entire Navy delegation to show respect. "

"...Dare you meet the navy's challenge!" General Takasu Shiro, the leader of the navy delegation, shouted!

"Does the army dare to compete?" the navy officers and soldiers roared loudly, and then more than 400 people sat down cross-legged on one side of the competition platform, putting all their weapons aside to show that they had no ill intentions.

"Crazy, this must be crazy!" Muto Akira pushed up his glasses, "The navy thought the rebellion was just playing house."

"Sir, send me there!" a lieutenant colonel staff officer suddenly shouted, "I won second place in swordsmanship at the sergeant academy, and I want to win over tanks!"

"Sir, go ahead. If you don't go, you will be laughed to death by the Navy Red Deer."

"Yes, the Navy dares to fight with the Army? It seems like they have never won, right?"

"Sir, why don't you use machine guns to shoot them all?" a staff officer suggested.

"Then the tanks came over!" another retorted.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tada Shun and Ishihara Wanji.

"Go! Choose 300 people too, don't lose!" Ishihara Wanji gritted his teeth. Does he still know that this is part of Horikichi's psychological warfare? But as long as he dare not respond, he will be at a disadvantage in the future. Besides, he advocates coordination between land and sea. Of course, he does not want a big fight between the two sides. The way of the sword is the way of the sword. In short, it is better not to kill anyone.

"Ishihara-kun, are the navy here? Everyone must be exhausted, let's let it out on the kendo." Horikichi called again with a smile, "I asked Special Envoy Cole to be the referee, he will be here soon!"

"Let's compete in martial arts. Are you afraid that you won't succeed?" Ishihara Wan'er made up his mind and turned around and said, "Tada-kun, please lead the team and meet Takasu Shiro. I will cheer for you from behind!"
