Chapter 2647 Bad news

New Guinea is densely covered with tropical jungles, which are not suitable for heavy tank group operations. However, because the Japanese special attack tactics are really hard to defend against, MacArthur still invested about two divisions of tank troops, including a division-sized tank force. fire tank.The terrain of the Wabarao is relatively suitable for living in New Guinea. After hundreds of thousands of years of construction by the local people, it has begun to take shape in a modern city.Therefore, a certain scale of plains has been formed in the urban area and some suburbs.These plain areas have become the battlefield for American tanks.

As far as technical parameters are concerned, the performance of the American Pershing heavy tank is still very superior. It may not be as good as the Chinese Mandrill and the German Type 130 and Type 1. However, some of the technology of the Chinese Mandrill has been introduced, especially the rocket launcher. After using the weapon, its battlefield survivability has been greatly enhanced, and it has considerable lethality against the Japanese special attack forces.At this moment, the U.S. military is in charge of fighting the front station, the 180rd Reinforced Armored Brigade under the direct command of MacArthur.The main weapon of the brigade is 120 six Pershing heavy tanks, followed by 24 six MY[-] mountain tanks known as the jungle python.Finally, the brigade is also equipped with twelve [-]mm self-propelled artillery imported from China and [-] "Thunderbolt A" rocket launchers.The firepower equipment of the Third Enhanced Armored Brigade is so complete and powerful that MacArthur never hesitated to praise himself in front of others, saying that the brigade was armed to the teeth, and it was a tiger locked in a cage by him. The brake must be able to tear apart the enemy in front of it, no matter who the enemy is.

The appearance of the Third Enhanced Tank Brigade on the battlefield did not disappoint MacArthur's high expectations. A heavy tank company opened the way and rushed into the depths of the Japanese positions with little effort and destroyed no small four Japanese bunkers.The sound of the explosion was earth-shattering, and in the lens of MacArthur's telescope, some camouflaged figures were flying at the top of the mushroom cloud—after Ouyang Yun first plagiarized the camouflage uniform and used it as the combat uniform of the student army, Toshiichiro Koizumi Although unwilling to follow in Ouyang Yun's footsteps, but because the special geographical environment in Southeast Asia is too conducive to the use of camouflage uniforms, he still pinches his nose to follow suit. Now the combat uniforms of the ground troops of the Japanese Southern Front Army have all been replaced by camouflage uniforms. And it has become an important symbol for the foreign military to distinguish the "imperial army" from the "independence army".

"It's not fast enough!" Putting down the binoculars, MacArthur said to several subordinates around him, and then sent an order: "Tell Simon, the attack speed of the reinforced brigade is not enough! Faster, faster, we can't give the Japanese time to respond."

Simon is the brigade commander of the 1rd Strengthened Tank Brigade. At this time, he is sitting in a MY[-] mountain tank and directing the battle.MacArthur's latest order was transmitted, and he waved his hand to ask the communications staff to turn off the audio, and said to the chief of staff, Kerry, who was beside him: "It doesn't matter what the commander-in-chief is, after all, he is not on the front line. The Japanese army has not shown strong resistance until now. This is absolutely not normal, you tell Karl to be more careful. After all, we are fighting in the home field of the Japanese!"

Simon climbed up bit by bit from the first-line troops. Unlike those commanders who graduated from military academies, he paid more attention to the latter between theory and practice, so his understanding of the Japanese army was far deeper than that of MacArthur.

The attack speed of the Third Strengthened Armored Brigade was as usual. Ten minutes later, as about 10 American fighter planes appeared over the battlefield, MacArthur couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered Simon to speed up the attack speed, striving to capture the Japanese army as quickly as possible. The bunker defense line, thus opening the way for the main force to enter the urban area. "I appreciate Simon's cautiousness, but it depends on the time. The fighter planes supported by Admiral Jin have already appeared above the battlefield. At this time, even if the Japanese army dispatches special attack tactical vehicles, we can completely ignore it. What is he afraid of?!"

The "creaking" sound of the track transmission entered Xiangshang's ears, and his face gradually turned red.Suddenly, he turned his head sharply to look at Xiao Dao, and said, "Mr. Xiao Dao, it's time to be loyal to the country!" He turned his head sharply and jumped out of the artillery pit where he was hiding. The next moment, he was frantic Shouting loudly: "The Great Japanese Imperial Army is victorious!" As soon as he pulled the detonator fuze of the explosive package in his arms, he rushed towards the American tank less than three meters away from him.

"Boom!" With an earth-shattering bang, the tank and Xiangshang were instantly engulfed by a huge fireball.Then, there was a miserable scream, and when the fireball gradually shrank into a pile of tank-shaped flames, an American tank soldier wrapped in flames rushed out of the tank, screaming in an inhuman voice One side tumbled down the turret.

The screams of the American tank soldiers gradually ignited the cruelty in Kojima King's heart. He clasped the explosive pack in his arms tightly with both hands, clenched his teeth, and the color on his face turned white, then red, then white, and then, When another US tank "creaked" approached, he yelled: "Mr. Xiangshang, here I come!" Pulling off the fuse of the explosive bag in his arms, he jumped up...

When Kojima King and the tank he attacked were engulfed in flames at the same time, Creme said to Simon: "Sir, this is already the sixth tank!"

Instead, Simon showed a relieved look on his face. He waved his arm fiercely and shouted: "This should be the last counterattack of the Japanese, attack! All attack!"

In mid-air, when the US tanks on the ground were ignited one after another like fireworks, the US Air Force Major Ray York, who was in charge of commanding and supporting the fighter jet cluster of the [-]rd Enhanced Armored Brigade, frowned and thought in his heart: "The Japanese are That's crazy, just wonder if they have a special attack force for us."

On the ground, the news of the attack by the entire third armored brigade reached MacArthur's ears. He was lamenting that Simon had grasped the opportunity well. The next moment, because of the arrival of a new battle report, his face suddenly turned pale. "What you said is true?" He glared at the staff officer who reported to him, with blue veins on his forehead.

"The battle report signed by Commander Jin himself should, there should be no errors," the staff officer whispered, his face covered with sweat.

"Trap? Trap? How did the Japanese know that we were attacking Singapore? The air force of the Pacific Fleet flew close to the sea, and their radars couldn't detect it—"

"Maybe it was detected by the lookout post."

"The entire army was wiped out. This was a premeditated ambush. It was detected by the lookout post. Where did the Japanese have the time to prepare?"

No one dared to say anything.In fact, everyone was stunned by the news.The entire army of fighter planes attacking Singapore was wiped out, which shows that the Japanese have already prepared and even detected it in advance.So, is the smooth progress on the Wabbaro battlefield now the Japanese deliberately showing weakness?The importance of the Wabbaros is self-evident, and the Japanese army is far superior in terms of military strength, so it makes no sense for the Japanese to voluntarily give up.

Instead of giving up voluntarily, then what are the plans of the Japanese?Thinking of this, MacArthur could no longer remain calm.
