Chapter 363: Bow your head and admit defeat

The snake is roaring, its shape is like a snake with four wings, and its sound is like a chime. If you see it, your town will have a severe drought. From the "Shan Hai Jing (Zhong Ci Two Classics)".

To put it simply, it is like a snake, but with four wings, it will produce a sound of a rock. A monster that will cause a severe drought when it is seen.

It is precisely the title of Type 16 tank within the army. There is such a title because it has been replaced with the latest 300-horsepower water-cooled V-shaped eight-cylinder

After the engine, the maximum maneuvering speed of the Type 16 tank can reach 50 kilometers. Although it is unlikely to accelerate to this level without running for a while.

In any case, the highway speed of 50 kilometers per hour still gives the Type 16 tank a unimaginable maneuverability in this era. Although in off-road conditions, this 50 kilometers can only run at most more than 30 kilometers.

Will be called

In addition to the unimaginable maneuverability of the Type 16 tank, another very important reason is the sound made by the engine when the tank is started after replacing the 300-horsepower engine.

Although the total weight of the Type 16 tank is only more than thirteen tons, no matter what, the Type 16 tank, like the Type 15 tank, represents the highest masterpiece of this era. If the reliable performance of the engine is improved a little, don’t let the tanks always make a fool of themselves as soon as they run...

All 200 Type 16 tanks are the entire confidence of the National Defense Force this time.

Although the Type 16 tank is definitely not as powerful as Type 15 in the case of frontal impact, and even cannons with slightly larger caliber may penetrate the frontal armor of Type 16 tanks. However, it is still too simple to deal with the 200 Type 16 tanks that have already ended in the 6th Division...

"So, everything will be waiting for tomorrow..."

When saying this, the tank commander named Yin was full of confidence.

It took several hours to transport all the Type 16 tanks to the island, but this time was already very fast, after all, there were 200 light tanks.

However, it is precisely because it is a light tank that it can be transported to the ashore at such a fast speed. If it is replaced with a Type 15 medium tank, it is not easy to mention how inconvenient their weight is more than 30 tons. These transport ships alone may not be able to accommodate the entire tank regiment of Type 15 tanks.

After all 200 tanks were transported ashore, because there was not much time before dawn, the transport fleet hurriedly left Kuaije under the escort of the cruiser. As for the tank soldiers who had already arrived ashore, they took advantage of the short time to carefully check their cars in the tanks.————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Is this the tank force..."

Just as the tank soldiers were checking their cars, a soldier who was in charge of the guards nearby said with some envy.

No wonder, after all, the tanks parked there are so shining.

Moreover, the treatment of tank soldiers is as high as that of the air force and the navy, so no wonder he is so envious.

"Are you envious?" A person who looked like a squad leader said. "If you envy, you can also apply for the tank unit. I heard that the members of the tank unit are drawn by the grassroots..."

"This..." scratched his head. "Forget it, just my ability... I don't even know all the words now..."

At the earliest times, the conditions for joining the National Defense Forces were very high, and one of the basic conditions was to be literate. Of course, as the national defense force grew larger and the number of suitable soldiers was fewer and fewer, so this standard was reduced a lot.

Nowadays, if you want to join the National Defense Forces, you only need to recognize most of the commonly used words.

The soldier who envies tank soldiers belongs to this category. Although he can also recognize some words, it is obvious that he cannot meet the standards of at least a high school diploma in the tank army. Now in the National Defense Forces, the two units with the highest average cultural level are the Air Force and the other are the armored units. After all, these two units often have to deal with machines. Compared with these two units, even the navy is much worse. Of course, the lowest cultural level is ordinary infantry, which is beyond doubt...

After all, as the grassroots and the largest base, the infantry itself has shown that infantry is impossible to surpass other types of troops in their professionalism. Even the magical special forces passed down from later generations, although they can fly planes in the sky and submarines in the sea, the number of them is too rare to increase the level of their close relatives' infantry...

However, these infantry with the worst professionalism have played an absolute main role in the wars of the past hundred years and the next hundred years...

The transport fleet was busy at the temporary dock for several hours. It was impossible to say that the opposite Akashi Metaro Jiro didn't know that it was impossible. However, at this time, the Sixth Division had only left the defense power due to lack of supplies. Therefore, even if the scouts on the front line discovered any movement, Akashi Metaro Jiro could only let it go...

If you have the will but lack the strength, it means the current state of Akishi Motojiro.

It’s not that I don’t want to cause some trouble for the Chinese people on the other side, but now Akashi Motojiro has only the ability to defend. If you defend, you may be able to hold on for a while, but if you take the initiative to attack, it will not only consume much ammunition, but the entire Sixth Division may not be able to hold on for too long.

"Now I just hope that Tokyo can get a negotiation soon."

Standing at the entrance of the half-covered command center, looking at the night sky in the sky, Akishi Motojiro said like this.

Although it shows that Shi Yuan Erlang's 6th Division, like Lin Tiannan's expeditionary force, was all unlucky guys trapped on Sakhalin Island, their contact with the outside world has never been interrupted.

After all, even if the small fleets of both sides have been hunting each other's transport ships on the sea, just like the transport fleet has been transporting a regiment of tanks ashore not long ago, although the two sides have suffered a lot of losses in supply transportation, they have never stopped. Otherwise, even if the Sixth Division is an elite among the Japanese army, it would not be possible to support the island for such a long time.

Not to mention anything else, if you don’t eat for a while, even in the elite troops, you will starve to death.

Moreover, it is not the era of cold weapons. There are also a few radio and telegraphs in Akashi Motojiro's command center, so the connection between Akashi Motojiro and the local government has never been interrupted.

In addition, as the commander of the 6th Division, Akashi Motojiro has a low status in the military headquarters, so Akashi Motojiro still knows many things.

For example, the local government is preparing to negotiate with China to end the war, especially before the Sixth Division collapses. The Sixth Division is the pride of the Japanese army. If the entire army is wiped out on Sakhalin Island and even a military flag cannot be sent back to the local area, the blow to the local Japanese people will definitely be very small.

And for Akishi Motojiro…

Although it means that Ishi Yuan Erro is different from ordinary Japanese soldiers, and is not like those young and strong soldiers. They are usually prone to brain fever. When they get fever, they like to do things that they don’t know if they should be 2b or passionate, but this does not mean that I am afraid of death.

The only thing he feared was that the Sixth Division, a division with many history, was destroyed in his own hands, that's all...

——————————

The next day's dawn came soon, and in the few hours before dawn, the tank soldiers had eliminated all possible states...

"Teacher Lin, will our regiment just need to conduct a frontal assault later..."

After looking at the map inside the command center, Commander Yin looked at Lin Tiannan Road.

"That's right."

Lin Tiannan nodded seriously.

"When it is 10 o'clock, your regiment will advance from the front and directly destroy the Japanese defense. Our troops will follow your regiment and expand the breakthrough you tore open. It's that simple..."

It is simple, but it is because a whole regiment of Type 16 tanks arrived, and in front of these tanks, the Japanese had no effective means of resisting them. If this is not the case, if the Japanese could be given more supplies, even if they were already suffering heavy casualties now, there would be no problem in fighting for another month.

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Tiannan said it very simply, and Commander Yin understood it very well. Therefore, after Lin Tiannan finished speaking, Commander Yin nodded and turned around and left the command center.

After Commander Yin left the command center, the Chief of Staff, who had never spoken behind Lin Tiannan, said.

"Tank troops, I've never seen tank troops fight..."

There is also some curiosity in the words.

Seriously speaking, Lin Tiannan's division was actually brought back from the Caucasus. After all, it is very likely to fight the Japanese after arriving on Sakhalin Island. If you just get a B-type division with no practical experience, you will easily suffer a big loss.

However, during the Caucasus, Lin Tiannan's division experienced almost ten or small battles there. Although it was stronger than the Turks in combat power and equipment, because of the Turks' advantage in numbers, they also suffered considerable losses. After all, Maxim's role in offense is not as good as that in defense, and defense cannot be defended to win...

And in the case of a frontal attack...

Although the Turks are not very powerful, they are higher than those of the Indians at least? Moreover, there are also many Maxim machine guns transported from Germany in the Turkish army.

Therefore, after more than a dozen battles, although Lin Tiannan achieved a lot of achievements, his division had to return to the country due to excessive casualties.

That is, when Lin Tiannan returned to China to rest, Feng Nan's armored division arrived in the Caucasus.

Later in the Caucasus region, Feng Nun's armored division, along with more than 50,000 expeditionary forces, defeated Envil Pasha's nearly 200,000 troops, and captured 100,000 of them, making it impossible for the Turks to pose a threat to the expeditionary forces in the Caucasus for a long time.

When we learned about the Battle of Erzurum, Lin Tiannan was still on the train back to China.

When Lin Tiannan learned that the battle ended with this result, he really regretted it.

For him, returning to China is naturally a very important thing, but if he could go back a while later, at least he could witness the scene of Feng Nan's armored division fighting with his own eyes?

Moreover, at that time, the armored troops were also first-class secrets in the National Defense Forces. In terms of confidentiality, they were probably similar to the bomber units of the Air Force and the aviation units of the Navy...

However, as the scale of armored troops gradually expands, there are more and more opportunities to see the armored troops lineup with your own eyes. For example, now, Lin Tiannan can finally see how armored troops fight.

"But if you have a light tank, you're not as happy as a heavy tank..."

Although the Type 15 tank is defined as a medium tank within the National Welfare Force, the Type 15 tank with a total weight of more than 30 tons is a heavy tank that is unavoidable in the eyes of many people. After all, compared with the Type 16 tank with only more than ten tons, the Type 15 tank is much larger in weight.

It is the code name of the Type 15 tank...

According to the "Shan Hai Jing? The North Sea Classic of Hai Nei", Qiongqi looks like a tiger, has a pair of wings, likes to eat people, and can start eating from the head of a person. He is a ferocious beast. However, in the "Shan Hai Jing", the (Xiang Shan Hai Jing) article mentions another image of Qiongqi. The Qiongqi in this article looks like a cow and has the hair of a hedgehog, which is very different from the one described (The North Sea Classic of Hai Nei). However, both of them like to eat people, and there is no difference in this regard.

"Zuo Zhuan? The 18th Year of Duke Wen" records: "The Shaoyu family had a talented man, and the people of the world were called Qiongqi." When Gao Yu wrote about "Shan Hai Jing", he also mentioned that Qiongqi was a descendant of Shaohao family and one of the "Three Miao" in the Yu Shun period. However, so far, scholars still have different opinions on the "Three Miao" explanations, so Qiongqi's identity is just a brief statement and cannot be confirmed.

In addition, the "Shenyi Sutra? Northwest Waste Sutra" gives a more detailed explanation of Qiongqi. The book records similar to the "Shan Hai Jing" (Northern Classic of the Seas), Qiongqi is still a monster that looks like a tiger and has wings. He usually hunts humans and can speak human language. When it knows that someone is arguing, he often eats loyal and upright people; when it knows that someone is loyal and trustworthy, he will eat that person's nose; when it knows that someone is evil or not, he will hunt wild beasts to give it to that person, which is an evil beast with completely inverted concepts of good and evil.

However, some commentators also quoted other versions to supplement it. In this version, Qiongqi's image is closer to the (Xishan Jing) in "Shan Hai Jing", which refers to Qiongqi's long tail that looks like a fox and drags on the ground. Its phonetic sounds like a dog, and it also says that it is "dog-headed, human-shaped, hooked claws and sawn teeth". Whenever it meets a loyal and trustworthy person, it will eat it; when it encounters a villain, it will take the initiative to hunt wild beasts to worship him. Although the two have different images, their behavior is the same.

The code name of the Type 15 tank will become

It was entirely because of his vicious performance on the Erzurum battlefield. On the Erzurum battlefield, more than 300 Type 15 tanks, like the most ferocious beasts, tore the nearly 200,000 Turks on the battlefield at that time, to pieces...

The scene at that time has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of many Turks since this moment.

——————————

"Do you know? Actually, I originally wanted to give the 16-style room Ritu code name..."

In the office, Yan Guang, who had just sent Yoshizawa Kenki away, looked at Wang Yaowu beside him.

After listening to Yan Guang's words, Wang Yaowu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Boss, just spare us. If the snake is still a bit imposing, this rabbit is really too..."

No wonder Wang Yaowu was so angry, because all the equipment in the National Defense Forces, as long as they are code-named, are almost all named by Yan Guang himself. Basically, as long as you find that it is named by a monster in mythology or a constellation, it must be that Yan Guang has not run away.

Originally, it’s nothing to name it with stars or constellations. Names like Heart Moon Fox or Star Sun Horse are actually quite nice. Just a rabbit is a bit...

Just like

In the end, it was named gas lamp by the grassroots officers and soldiers...

"Don't you think the 15-type maneuver is as flexible as a rabbit..."

"That's true, but Fang Ritu and other things are too unmistakable..."

Just as Yan Guang and Wang Yaowu were still debating about the naming, the battle on Sakhalin Island had already begun.
To be continued...
