This is indeed purgatory, and the Wehrmacht rockets are all 123 mm rockets. The vehicle is an improved Minsheng brand 75 5-ton truck, and this rocket artillery vehicle is called "75 40-tube self-propelled rocket launcher".

This rocket sports car has a range of up to 23 kilometers and a number of 120 rounds.

This new rocket artillery vehicle developed based on the BM13 should be the most perfect rocket artillery vehicle of this era.

The original Katyusha had eight launch slides and could carry sixteen 132mm rockets at once. However, after improvements, the Wehrmacht-75 was able to carry forty 123mm rockets

Accuracy, attack power, etc. have been greatly improved, and the mobility ability is not worse than the original. And the original Rotyusha, each of which is equivalent to the attack power of eighteen self-propelled guns.

Although the Wehrmacht's rockets were a little smaller, they were no less powerful, and it was a magnificent sight for hundreds of rocket artillery vehicles to gather and fire together.

It is an exaggeration to say that even the entire period of the Japanese army was covered by such a bombardment, which can be imagined.

Purgatory, it's already an implicit statement. Correctly, there are not even the bones intact here. Countless rockets roared and rained down on the Japanese positions, causing horrific damage.

In the whole position, there is not a single intact tunnel. The positions here are not like the permanent fortifications built by the North Korea, which only lasted more than ten minutes before falling apart under the frenzied bombardment.

The roar of the explosion of "boom boom boom ......" roared throughout Jinmen. Even if it was several kilometers away, the filial piety rocket car could still clearly feel the tremor of the earth.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Front, Shouichi Terauchi, closed his eyes in pain, and could not bear to look at the position that was flooded by artillery fire. The division commanders on the side also put down their binoculars silently.

Under this overwhelming fire, trying to survive is tantamount to a dream. Such artillery fire, even steel melted, right? How can it be resisted by simple temporary fortifications?

At this time, Terauchi Shoichi somewhat understood why the Kwantung Army of North Korea had worked tirelessly and costulously to build such a long permanent fortification on the 38th parallel.

In order to defend against the strong attack of the Wehrmacht. Looking at this row of artillery fire, the chill in Terauchi Shouichi's heart became heavy. Can it hold on?

"Your Excellency, Commander, what now? Do you need to call for naval support?" The chief of staff, Major General Okabe Naosaburo, saw that all the entrances were silent, so he had to break the silence and face Toshikachi Terauchi.

All the words were heard, and he immediately turned his head to look at Shouichi in the temple. And the commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army smiled bitterly at his chief of staff and said, "Do you know how many casualties of fighter jets the former navy gave me?"

Major General Okabe Naosaburo paused for a moment and shook his head casually. He really didn't know about this matter, it was the Navy Iriwa Terauchi Shouichi who talked privately in the office.

"The Navy, until now, has lost more than two hundred fighters." Shouichi Terauchi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to his chief of staff: "Our army aviation has also lost more than one hundred and fifty planes."

"Hiss~~" The loss of the army aviation, they probably know. But the fact that the navy lost so much was a surprise to them.

If this is superimposed, then the Japanese army has lost more than 400 fighters in this Jinmen alone, and this is not counting the losses caused by the Wehrmacht's attack on the Japanese positions during this time.

The troops, which were less than 200,000 troops, have lost more than 30,000 troops so far. At the beginning, Shouichi Terauchi thought that the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht was no more than that.

But then a counteroffensive under his command proved that the Wehrmacht was more than that.

In that battle, Terauchi Shouichi lost more than 10,000 troops. Since then, the entire front has fallen silent. With the exception of occasional exploratory attacks by the Wehrmacht, Terauchi never launched any war against the front.

The price of holding on is to constantly watch your soldiers and fighters being consumed. Japan can't afford to consume, and they can't produce their own resources in the first place. What is now used in the war is the reserves of the past years.

The Wehrmacht could not afford to consume it, and although it had a certain industrial base, its output was too low. Just like fighter planes, Japan can produce more than 1,000 planes a month at full capacity, while the three eastern provinces can only produce more than 300 planes a month even if they fight hard.

Both sides are probing, testing each other's bottom line. After a certain point, the Japanese army no longer sent planes into the war. Coincidentally, all the Wehrmacht fighters were put on standby.

Except for some of the pilots on duty, the rest of the pilots were all admitted to the BĚI Branch of the National Defense University for fighter pilot training. There is no way, the foundation of the Wehrmacht is too thin, and the losses of North Korea and Jinmen are too great.

It is necessary to constantly replenish new blood into the pilot unit in order to withstand the attrition on the battlefield. So far, more than 250 Wehrmacht Air Force units have died in the airspace of Jinmen.

Needless to say, the Korean battlefield has not stopped fighting since the National Defense Forces entered the customs. The consumption is even more serious, and Chen Haihua is now red-eyed.

And Terauchi Shouichi's words made everyone present silent. Obviously, air cover is not to be considered. With such heavy losses in the Navy and Army Air Corps, it was also impossible to send troops again.

At this time, the explosions on the Japanese positions gradually subsided. Shouichi Terauchi's face changed, and he walked to the observation port and raised his binoculars to look forward.

But I saw that on the position where the smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated, countless broken corpses of Japanese soldiers fell. Everywhere there were bombed, shattered Japanese weapons and equipment, half-crippled heavy machine guns, and light machine guns twisted like pieces of iron.

A tattered skull, missing half of the face, with only a calf. Scattered intestines and internal organs, as well as unidentified broken pieces of unrecognizable blood.

Shouichi Terauchi could hardly bear to look at it anymore, and a trace of wailing and screaming came into his ears like a heart-eater. At this time, Terauchi Shouichi suddenly remembered the pleasure of using heavy artillery to bombard Han Fuyu's troops when he was in Shandong.

At that moment, he sniffed the smell of blood in the air and felt a hint of satisfaction. But at this time, he was only full of heartache. It's still heavy artillery, but the targets of the bombardment have been replaced by them.

Shouichi Terauchi saw through the binoculars a soldier on the position with one of his hands and foot blown off, and he screamed and struggled desperately, trying to get up from the position.

But with one hand and one foot gone, the effort seemed futile. But I saw him in the telescope in the temple, and he fell to the ground miserably. The wound was stuck to a pile of gunsmoke and dust, and I couldn't stop wailing.

"Kerala ......" At this time, there were bursts of roaring from the position. Shouichi Terauchi looked through the binoculars, but saw tanks coming towards the position like fierce tigers.

Suddenly, Terauchi Shouichi's heart tightened, he knew that the current situation in the position, let alone fighting against these tanks, even the infantry who charged up was in a difficult situation.

The Wehrmacht on the opposite side started a war with this posture, obviously trying to break through the entire Japanese defense line in one go.

"Quickly let Nishihara Kazusei lead his troops to block it, and we can't let the Wehrmacht break through our white spoon defense line" Terauchi Shou's eyes turned red, he knew that if he didn't stop it now, then the entire Japanese front would be finished.

In the middle of the meeting of the headquarters, there is also a strategy of Nishihara. After hearing the order of the temple, he did not say a word, and then rushed down excitedly to prepare the troops for the attack.

Competing with the armored forces of the Wehrmacht on the battlefield has always been the wish of Lieutenant General Nishihara Kazuse. However, this desire was suppressed by Shouichi Terauchi, who did not allow Nishihara Kazuse to pull his troops into battle.

In Terauchi's opinion, this army should exert greater power on more important battlefields. But now there is no way, the Wehrmacht tanks have rushed to the position.

If the chariot troops are not allowed to attack at this time, even if more ground troops rush forward, it will only be killed.

Emperor Jin is not afraid of death, but not being afraid of death is not the same as looking for death. This is what Shouichi Terauchi thinks now, at least this is the idea of sobering up after being stunned by the Wehrmacht.

"Rumble Rumble...... Wehrmacht's Tiger B let out a galloping roar and slaughtered the Japanese position

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... "On the position, there are always some Japanese soldiers who have escaped the shelling and did not die directly....... They found weapons that had not yet been shattered, gritted their teeth and fired at the Wehrmacht's Tiger B.

Just as they used tanks to charge into battle, the bullets from the machine guns were not effective against the tanks at all. Moreover, the Wehrmacht's Tiger Type B was originally thicker than the Type 97 Modified Armor.

Except for the clanging of sparks, it didn't hurt the tank at all.

The "Tutu Tu ......" Tiger B was not a thousand beatings and could not fight back, and the heavy machine gun on the vehicle fired 12.5mm bullets at the Japanese army in a frenzy, directly penetrating the already bombed loose fortifications.

Those Japanese soldiers who tried to rely on the fortifications to fight back were swept away with flesh and blood. The entire tunnel was covered in splatters of blood and limbs that had been shattered by large-caliber machine guns.

Those Japanese soldiers had no choice but to look at the Tiger Type B in horror. They had nothing to do but pray.

"Boom...... Our White Spoon reconnaissance unit found that a large number of Japanese tanks were approaching and all of them were in accordance with the No. 2 battle plan, changing battle formations to prepare for battle, and our reconnaissance unit found that a large number of Japanese tanks were approaching all of them in accordance with the No. 2 battle plan, changing battle formations and preparing for battle."

"Boom...... Understood"

"Boom...... Received"

In the tank, the commanders immediately reported to the command vehicle that they had received orders.

After the "sudden ......" cleared the Japanese troops from the position, the entire Wehrmacht tank convoy formed a new attack formation. This is an attack formation designed for assault on armored troops, derived from the cavalry phalanx.

The Wehrmacht tank units at the front had already formed their own armored phalanx, while the follow-up tanks continued to clear their positions. At the same time, infantry units caught up.

......At this time, the Japanese tank units finally arrived at the position under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Tank Division: the 5th Tank Brigade, the 6th Tank Brigade, two Tank Brigades, 4 Tank Wings, and the 3rd Motorized Infantry Wing.

According to the establishment of the Japanese tank division, each tank wing of the division has 73 tanks of various types and 27 other vehicles. Four chariot wings have 292 tanks.

With nearly 300 tanks, it is no wonder that Lieutenant General Nishihara Kazuse is so confident. However, these Japanese tanks were "rumbling ......" towards the position, and hundreds of tanks charged together, and their formation was overwhelming.

In contrast, the Wehrmacht's tank formation was a little weaker. It's just less than a hundred tanks, and they are killed by the Japanese tanks.

In the distance, Tu Qianjun, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, held a telescope and said to Zhu Zhong, commander of the Guards Armored Group Army directly under him: "Old Zhu, this is the biggest armored battle your kid has ever fought. Don't give me any encouragement here, or I'll see how I clean you up."

"Hey Commander-in-Chief, don't worry, the cubs who went into battle this time were all carefully selected by me" Zhu Zhong said with a smile: "I'm still afraid that I will scare away this gang of sons, and I won't let the entire group army go up to a division, if I can't take it down, my subordinates will come to see me."

In the past few years, a young man has been trained into a steel army. Zhu Zhong fought against floods and rescued dangers, and also shouted to fight on the battlefield in Korea.

fought all the way to the position of the commander of the Guards Panzer Army.

"Hmm...... It's good that you kid has the bottom in your heart. After breaking the Japanese positions in a while, you and your armored army will not squat for me. Hurry up and kill it, we can chase and kill if we break the formation."

"Yes" Zhu Zhong's face flushed with excitement, and he replied loudly to Tu Qianjun.

By this time, the Wehrmacht tank in the telescope had already entered the firing range. After many actual battles, the training program of the Wehrmacht's armored units was repeatedly revised, and now the firing distance of the tank units is set at a position of two thousand meters.

However, I saw that the tanks kept in formation and suddenly stopped two thousand meters away from the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were stunned at first, but then they were cold

At this time, the tank was not equipped with a laser rangefinder and a two-way balancing system, so there was a chance that the guns would not hit nine times out of ten. Except for some elites who can reach three or four out of ten, the rest are basically unbeatable.

Therefore, the tanks at this time hardly fired on the move. Until the end of World War II, a small number of tanks of Nazi Germany, such as the Black Panther and the King Tiger, were equipped with laser ranging instruments and had the initial ability to fire guns on the move, but the tanks that could fire on the move in the real sense were born after the 70s of the 20th century.

Therefore, when the Japanese army saw the Wehrmacht tanks on the opposite side stop in unison, the Japanese soldiers who were driving the tanks couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts

"Tom tom tom...... Boom, boom, boom, boom ......"On the battlefield, the smoke of gunpowder filled. The first real tank battle between China and Japan began...... (To be continued)
