Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 42: Disposal (1)

Although I was mentally prepared for a long time, the arrival of the French Foreign Corps still brought a lot of psychological pressure to Japan.

Several failed wars in modern history have stripped off the halo from the top of France layer by layer. Napoleon’s invincible heroes have already turned into the dust of history with the passage of time. But there is a peculiar army that has inherited the glory that the French army once possessed. What is interesting is that most of the membership of this army does not belong to the French people. This nation can only fight under the command of women or foreigners. This has almost become a curse on French soldiers.

The Japanese army also has many well-informed officers, and the identity of the white cap was immediately recognized.

"Foreign French... Legion..." an army chief murmured to himself.

"When did they arrive in Shanghai and why we don't even know the news."

"Everyone, before the war, did the superiors not even understand the strength of the enemy? Since when did the Imperial Japanese Army have fallen to this point."

"Fortunately, I did not continue to entangle the opponent. If an armored convoy attacked from the back during the operation, the consequences would be unpredictable."

Several staff officers and combat officers of the Honda Battalion got together to discuss.

At this time, the outer navy also discovered the incoming French reinforcements. Under the command of the officers, they stopped the confrontation with the army. The sailors changed their formations and faced the Nanjing Road.

"You can't let the Honda team fall into the hands of the French. In any case, we must insist on the arrival of our own reinforcements." Tanimoto knew the stakes in the problem, and at this time he had no choice but to turn to protect the rebellious troops. .

"These seem to be the Japanese navy, don’t they mean that the offensive is their army? Is the above intelligence wrong? Sure enough, you shouldn’t believe them. It seems that the intelligence department here is the same as the North African colony. Unreliable guy."

The commander of the French Foreign Corps who was present was also wondering. The order he received was to stop the Japanese army from infringing on the public concession. As a result, his eyes are now full of navy sailors wearing blue uniforms and white leggings.

A scorched pile of truck wreckage was burnt on the side of the road, and there were stone and glass shards on the exterior walls, confirming to the lieutenant that a very fierce battle had erupted here. But looking at the public concessions who are sitting and resting along the sidewalks and on the steps of the building, it is clear that the battle here is over.

"Hey, who is in charge here now?" Lieutenant Gullit, the commander of the foreign corps, grabbed the frame of the armored machine gun tower and asked an Indian patrol standing by the street lamp pole.

"Hello sir, it's a Mr. Colonel." Patrolman pointed his finger at the front door of Chinachem Hotel and said.

Under the huge ornate awning, a group of uniformed figures stood.

"Colonel?! You mean a colonel?" Gullit blinked.

"Yes, sir, it is a German navy colonel, sir." Patrolman replied respectfully.

Lieutenant of the Corps believed that this Indian must have been quite well-educated, and was more polite than any Indian he had ever met.

"Dano, you are in charge, let everyone get out of the car and line up, and I will report to the commander here." After turning his head and confessing to his company deputy, Gullit came out through the narrow side door. Armored vehicle.

"The Japanese army across the road and bridge in Sichuan is frequently mobilizing. If they want to forcefully cross the bridge, we may not be able to stop it." Lieutenant David, the commander of the armoured convoy of the International Business Corps, reported to Von Hertz.

This time, the All Nations Business Group drove out all the armored vehicles that can be used. Although there are only six Rolls-Royce armored vehicles built 20 years ago, these old guys have all been well maintained.

The Japanese Marine Corps is also equipped with the same models imported from the United Kingdom. The difference between the two is that the Japanese installed a self-designed machine gun tower. This light armored vehicle is only designed to be used as a ranger. The 19th Route Army soldiers who lacked anti-armor weapons suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Songhu.

Don’t look at its armor and off-road ability is not very strong, but if you really dig a trench on the street, as some books say, you will find that you have worked so hard to set up roadblocks. Can't stop this armored vehicle. To block the advance of this wheeled armored vehicle, you need a low concrete wall that is at least half a meter high, or an anti-tank pile cast by the German standard.

This armored vehicle uses the famous car site, equipped with a Rolls-Royce six-cylinder water-cooled engine with a power of 80 horsepower. The body is covered with a layer of 12 mm thick homogeneous steel armor, with a total weight of 4.5 tons, capable of running wild on the road at a maximum speed of 72 kilometers per hour.

Except for the high price, this armored vehicle has almost no major shortcomings. So from the day it was finalized, this armored vehicle has been in service in the British Army until now, and it has been a full 20 years. .

It used to patrol the muddy trenches of France with a cold gun fired by the German army, and it also galloped across the deserted Gobi Desert in Africa under the command of the "Lawrence of Arabia".

The International Business Group has successively purchased ten such armored vehicles, each with a purchase price of up to 12,000 silver. Although it seemed a bit high at the time, it is still worth the money. You must know that a complete Royce Rolls silver ghost in the future will sell for 100 million pounds.

Due to mechanical wear and lack of parts, four of the armored vehicles were temporarily unable to start, and they were currently parked in front of the Ministry of Industry and Technology Building, where they were used as bulletproof shelters and machine gun fire points.

The remaining six armored vehicles were originally intended to be transferred to the Bund to support the SS, but then we learned that the battle on the Bund had ended, and a large number of Japanese troops were moving on the north bank of Sichuan Luqiao, so the Ministry of Industry These armored vehicles were all placed at the southern end of the bridge to prevent possible Japanese invasion.

"The Japanese will not attack again. Those troops are here to deal with the group of guys over there." Von Hertz pointed at the group of Japanese by the river with his thumb up.

"It's all messed up, sir, I need a radio now." Winsbach scratched his head and ran over.

"What's the problem?" The captain looked curiously at his first mate~IndoMTL.com~The Japanese had many wounded, and the Japanese asked to send them to the Japanese Army's hospital in Hongkou. "Weinsbach reports.

"This is reasonable, is there any problem?" Von Hertz asked suspiciously.

"This requires authorization. They are theoretically criminals and must be closely supervised." Lieutenant Colonel Winsbach is a very sensitive person to the rules and regulations. Von Hertz suspects that he may be a law student before, but he is not The deputy never admitted.

"They are not prisoners of war, and they are already under the supervision of their navy. I will leave it to Lieutenant Admiral Tanimoto how to deal with it."

"But this is not up to the rules."

"Don't even think about debating with me what is the law, Winsbach, your approach is totally unworkable in this matter. Asking the Japanese to send away their wounded is a humanitarian act. However, Remember to ask them to leave proof of identity. We need these data and we can foresee that we will face a lot of written procedures."

"Understood the sir." Winsbach saluted von Hertz, and then quickly walked towards the Japanese navy officer waiting by the wall.

PS: The first chapter is here, followed by the second chapter. There is still something tonight. It seems that I can only double-change it. I owe the next one tomorrow night.
