Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Boom!" "Boom"

    Artillery shells exploded in the mud outside Siem Reap. A wooden bunker was knocked down in the fireball, and three French soldiers hiding inside rushed out covered in blood.  [This article comes from] But before they could escape far, the shells of the 75mm field gun caught up with them.  The soldiers were soon covered in blood and mud under the continuous shelling.  "Colonel! We can't stop it! Where are the damn reinforcements!" Bandaged Major George rushed into the city headquarters, placed his helmet full of mud and water on the table, and roared at the brigade commander, Colonel Antis, in victory.  .

    "Dear George, there are no reinforcements! We must hold on here! There is no reason!"

    "Where are the Chinese? Haven't they already landed? Why don't they come here!"

    "It's too far, the distance is too far! The coastline is 250 kilometers away from here, and it will take at least two days. So George, if we want to survive, we must persist for another two to three days."

    "Damn it! Colonel, you should go take a look. The Japanese have gone crazy! I can't hold on for two days!"

    "George, France needs you."

    "Shit! I hate this. Then give me a plane, a plane!"

    "Okay, I'll get the plane to help right away."

    "You'd better hurry up, we're almost finished!" Major George, who couldn't get help, closed his pale lips tightly, put on his helmet in disappointment, and rushed into the rumble battlefield again.  Hundreds of artillery shells ravaged the entire city of Siem Reap. Explosions and corpses were everywhere. Three FT-17 tanks lay across the street, billowing black smoke.  Three thousand French soldiers were stationed in the north and south of the city, but opposite them were two entire regiments of elite Japanese troops, so hundreds of people died in just two days, and even the wounded had to continue fighting.  "Fire! Fire!" After Major George returned to the position, he immediately directed his artillery battery to fight back.  The four French Miss 75s who received the order roared continuously and threw shells into the distance at a speed of eight shells per minute.  But the effect of the bombardment was not good.  Because it had just rained and was blocked by woods, the power of the shells after hitting the soft mud was twice as small as usual.

    "Major, the Japanese are coming! Look, God! There are at least four thousand people! Look, there are 10, no, at least 20 tanks!" As the officer shouted, a whole regiment was holding Type 38 rifles.  The Japanese soldiers with bayonets bent down, formed a loose skirmish line, followed the tanks and charged towards the defense line.  "Fire! Get up, get up quickly, get all the weapons that can fire! Let those damn monkeys come up and help!" Major George's eyes were red.  Without reinforcements, he had to bring in all the puppet troops to help.  After hundreds of trembling Vietnamese puppet troops entered the position, regardless of their combat effectiveness, at least the firepower density on the defense line was much stronger.  At this moment, the buzzing sound of engines sounded in the sky, and the plane promised by Colonel Antis finally arrived.  Six Dewatina D.501 fighter jets appeared in the sky and strafed the ground with machine guns.  But Japan's Type 97 fighter jets also quickly arrived to support.  Although the performance of d.501 is good, the quantity is seriously insufficient.  Therefore, three were quickly shot down by Type 97 and fled in a hurry.

    Major George, who had no aircraft cover, immediately fell into a hard fight. 25 Type 94 light tanks quickly crawled through the mud and rushed towards the position.  "Yeah!" Watanabe Sumita, captain of the 55th Regiment of the 18th Division, saw the tank opening a gap and immediately raised his command knife high.  He yelled and rushed out first.  The soldiers who were originally following the tanks also howled and rushed towards the French position carrying planks for laying trenches.  Although the screaming Hotchkiss heavy machine guns continued to sweep them away, more Japanese soldiers rushed forward with their heads down regardless of their own safety.

    "God! Save us!" As a French soldier howled, two Japanese soldiers had already stabbed him under the cover of grenades.  The long and narrow bayonets frightened the French soldiers and the Vietnamese puppet troops, and they saw that the position could no longer be defended.  He turned around and ran towards the city regardless of his friendly troops.  "Kill them all! The Emperor is on board!" Seeing the French army fleeing, Watanabe Sumita seemed to have seen the military flag being planted in Siem Reap and conquering French East India. His face turned red and he shouted the order to pursue.

    "Damn it, go back, go back! Stop them!" Major George screamed and shouted anxiously when he saw this. He rushed out of the bunker and tried to reorganize the defense line.  But unfortunately, this heroic major was soon discovered by a 94 tank, and a 7.7mm bullet penetrated his ribs.  "Major, Major! Hurry, the major has been shot, save him." Several soldiers quickly discovered George who had been shot, and immediately picked him up and fled into the city.

    "Colonel, colonel! The Japanese have rushed in."

    "What?" Colonel Antis, who received the report, was full of disbelief. He grabbed the guard and asked loudly: "How is this possible? Where is George? Where is his troops?"

    "Major George is injured! God, the Japanese have too many tanks." The guard shouted while giving Antis the binoculars.  After taking the telescope, Antis's face suddenly turned pale.  Only dozens of express trains were seen?A torrent of light tanks was pouring in from the northwest sides of the city.  Groups of our own soldiers were killed by tanks and machine guns, and their corpses were densely covered with the road into the city.  "Colonel, retreat! They have committed at least one tank battalion!"

    "Okay, get out of here, leave!" Antis panicked, not daring to stay here any longer, and immediately ordered to pack up and prepare to retreat.  At this moment, there was a buzzing outside the window, and it was louder and noisier than before.  "Japanese plane!" The guard didn't even look at it. He thought it was a Japanese plane and pushed Antis to the ground.  But the strange thing is that after waiting for a long time, no bombs fell.  At this moment, the door was opened again, and a captain rushed in and shouted excitedly: "Colonel, they are Chinese! They are coming, they are coming!"

    "Chinese? How is that possible? Didn't they say they just landed in Kampong Som?" Colonel Antis looked in disbelief and immediately rushed to the window.  But after just one glance, like everyone else, his eyes were straightened.

    On the Tonle Sap Lake in the south, dozens of helicopters with huge rotors that had never been seen before were like light hummingbirds, flying quickly towards the headquarters close to the ground.  A few seconds later, more than a dozen fighter jets and dive bombers passed by them at high speed, quickly zooming high into the sky.  Before Colonel Antis and the officers could wake up, a series of shells exploded in the Japanese tank.

    Eight "Lightnings" quickly shot down three Japanese Type 97 fighter jets hovering over the battlefield, and the dive bombers that followed immediately entered the dive channel.  "Boom" A navy dive bomber roared down from an altitude of 1,200 meters and accurately dropped two 250kg bombs next to a Japanese Type 94 tank.  Explodes violently.  It even directly overturned a 3-ton piece of steel, and the fireball instantly swallowed dozens of Japanese soldiers around it.

    "God! They are coming! They are coming to save us!" The great joy from death to life washed over the body and mind of every French soldier in Siem Reap. Everyone looked at the plane and raised their arms and shouted.  Soon, three of the helicopters selected the flat ground 200 meters away from the command post and dropped vertically. After 21 fully armed commando soldiers jumped off the plane, the helicopters quickly pulled up again.  The second wave, the third wave In just ten minutes, twelve sea cavalry dropped 82 commandos, and the remaining helicopters were protected by fighter planes.  Rush to the airport in the distance.

    "Hello, Colonel! I am Captain Xu Ming of the Chinese Navy Commando, and we have been ordered to help you defend this place! Now, I hope you can cooperate and call the airport immediately. We need to requisition it!" Waiting for the fourth batch of helicopters  After landing, commando captain Xu Ming rushed into the command post with several soldiers, and even raised the field phone directly in front of Antis.  Seeing him, Colonel Antis didn't seem to wake up from the helicopter airborne. He didn't wake up until the staff pushed him. After saluting, he stretched out his hand: "Thank you for your support, from now on. The airport is yours!" The staff next to him said  Seeing him so readily handing over an important airport to Chinese control, I couldn't help but talk, but in the end I endured it.

    "Thank you, Colonel. How many soldiers do you have left? Our airborne troops will not arrive for another hour, and we must hold out until they arrive."

    "There are three more regiments. About 2,000 people. But there are 10,000 Japanese on the opposite side of us, and they have a lot of tanks!"

    "Okay, we will block the tanks first! You see, I need artillery to block the enemy's attack route." Xu Ming nodded.  Just as he was about to arrange anti-tank tactics, Colonel Antis asked: "Captain. There is at least one tank battalion outside! You" He looked at the lightly armed commando soldiers and kindly reminded: "Heavy duty is needed.  Firepower.¡±

    "Don't worry, we have enough heavy firepower! Now, I need your firepower to block the firepower."

    Although he didn't understand where Xu Ming's so-called heavy firepower was, Colonel Antis, like everyone else, was attracted by the novel helicopter and decided to take a gamble: "Well, you will get the most intense firepower support! Tony,  Go, gather all the artillery, we are going to counterattack!" As Colonel Antis shouted, Xu Ming immediately spread out his map and ordered to the officers behind him: "Let the anti-tank team attack, we will hold here.  Here and here! The bridge entering the city is the last line of defense! Do you understand?"

    When Xu Ming began to deploy anti-tank tactics, Watanabe was also startled by a helicopter he had never seen before. When he saw the national emblem and military flag on the side of the fuselage clearly, his eyes seemed to be stung, and he jumped up suddenly and shouted wildly:  "Baga! It's China! Damn the traitors of the Satsuma clan, the bastards who wasted the empire's money! (The Japanese army and navy never report battle results and intelligence to each other, so the army has no idea about the landing) Quickly inform the division commander, China  The people are here! Major Aikawa, lead your tank squadron to continue the attack. I need a continuous attack and must occupy this place before the main force of the Chinese arrives!"

    "Hi!" Major Aikawa yelled and quickly climbed onto his 89.?Medium tank, wielding the command knife and ordering the tank squadron to charge with him.

    The rumbling torrent of light armor continued to approach the bridge from the north and south of the city. The French army, which had just been ecstatic about having reinforcements, fell into panic again. The soldiers fled towards the bridge and the south of the city like headless flies.  However, the Japanese armored forces, which frightened the French army who lacked anti-tank weapons, could not scare the Yasha commandos at all. Anyone who has seen hundreds or thousands of tanks charging by the Soviet army in Central Asia will sneer at the so-called tank troops of the Japanese army.  .

    "Damn, you dare to call a three-ton thing a tank! Our trucks are heavier than that, right? Come on, come here." A 94 tank drove quickly along the gravel-paved street towards the Chengnan Bridge, but  He didn't notice the anti-tank team squatting behind the window 200 meters ahead.  Ma Mingyuan quickly loaded the 84mm armor-piercing bullet, locked the gun bolt, and slapped gunner Zhao Yougong's helmet hard.  Upon receiving this signal, Zhao Yougong immediately carried the recoilless rifle, put his face against the barrel, stared at the ruler, and counted silently: "210, 190, 150" When  When the count reached 80, the recoilless rifle in his hand vibrated slightly, and an orange-red light suddenly rushed out of the window, and then hit the front of the tank hard.

    "Boom!" Without any resistance, the hit Type 94 light tank immediately turned into a ball of fire, and even the Japanese tank soldiers inside did not escape.

    After Zhao Yougong opened fire, the other three anti-tank groups also opened fire.  The thin iron skin of the 94 tank cannot stop the attack of 84mm armor-piercing bullets. Whether it is the front, side or machine gun tower, it will immediately turn into a fireball if it is hit.  "Combat defense artillery! Be careful of combat defense artillery! The infantry is in front." The successive explosions made Major Aikawa's eyes split open!  You know, tanks and combat vehicles are the most precious combat power of the Japanese army, so the infantry was immediately rushed to the front to look for the so-called combat anti-cannon.

    "Qian Magan, I leave it to you. Let's go, let's find the next one." After Zhao Yougong killed two 94s in a row, he gave up the shooting position to the machine gunner.  The tall and thin machine gunner sneered and pointed the hj32 general machine gun at the Japanese army.

    "Chi chi" A strange sound like tearing silk quickly took over the battlefield.
