Chapter 99 What is a Tank

Another chapter may be after twelve o'clock.

——————————

Tomijiro's first reaction was the anti-tank gun, so he ordered without thinking: "Find the target and destroy it!"

It is not surprising that Tomijiro would have this reaction, because the anti-tank gun has a low body and is easy to hide, but its semi-open mantlet can easily be destroyed by mortars, tank guns, etc. The key point is to discover these anti-tank guns

location.

However, once the anti-tank gun fires, it won't be too difficult to find its location.

Sure enough, following the infantry, they fired mortar shells at the target.

But this didn't seem to have much effect. Then there were a few more "booms", and the staff officer in the armored cabin shouted: "We have destroyed two more tanks, Colonel!"

In fact, there is no need for the staff to tell you that Tomijiro also saw it through the telescope... Both of them were Type 97 vehicles, and one of them even emitted black smoke.

Tomijiro was in a dilemma.

Moving forward, the tank will obviously be hit by a double attack from the Eighth Route Army's rocket launchers and anti-tank guns. The two squadrons of tanks may be completely annihilated.

When retreating, the chariot turns around and exposes its side and rear to the enemy. Not only will it suffer losses, the cavalry regiment will continue to be pursued by the enemy and may even be surrounded and annihilated.

At that time, the cavalry regiment and the chariot regiment will be completely defeated.

But after thinking about it, Tomijiro felt more relieved, because he finally knew what the Eighth Route Army's trump card was.

If the Eighth Route Army only had anti-tank guns, and their number was still very limited... This was concluded by Tomijiro through observation. He estimated that the enemy's anti-tank guns would not exceed ten. Otherwise, the losses of tanks would have been more than

There are three cars.

Then Aritomijiro made a simple analysis:

Retreating will lead to the collapse of the troops, and it is obviously inappropriate to stay in place... This will make one's own tanks a target for the enemy's anti-tank guns.

Then it seems there is only one option, attack.

The imperial army can use infantry and tanks to approach the enemy's anti-tank gun positions and destroy them, especially when approaching about three hundred meters... This is the range of the grenade launchers of the imperial soldiers. The imperial soldiers have a large number of grenade launchers. This is their

The field artifact.

In other words, as long as they attack the enemy's anti-tank gun position within a distance of 300 meters, the imperial army can gain an absolute advantage and ultimately win.

Thinking of this, Yutomijiro no longer hesitated. He said to Shimizu Nobita under the car: "Shimizu-kun, don't you want to attack? Now is the time! Please cooperate with us to defeat the enemy!"

"Yes!" Qingshui Guiwu looked happy, turned around and ran back to the cavalry regiment's position to give the order to prepare for the attack.

The Japs moved very quickly, and were ready in just two minutes.

First, a burst of artillery fire hit the Eighth Route Army position. Most of the artillery fire was light mortars. Only the cavalry regiment brought two 92 infantry guns... The 92 infantry guns can be towed by horses to maneuver, and they can be broken down and carried by horses.

It is said to be an indispensable heavy equipment for the cavalry regiment.

Then the Japanese fired several smoke bombs between the two army positions.

Needless to say, the reason for this is that the smoke can interfere with the sight of the Eighth Route Army gunners and protect their own tanks.

Then Tomijiro waved his hand, and the two tank squadrons crossed the trenches and advanced towards the enemy's position. The infantry of the cavalry regiment also cooperated with the attack under Shimizu Nobutake's shout.

Finally, Yutomi Jiro sent another light tank squadron up...

Arifujiro thinks this way:

For the enemy's anti-tank gun, it makes no difference whether the target is a light tank or a medium tank, because it can penetrate its frontal armor with one shot.

At the same time, whether it is a light tank or a medium tank, it can easily destroy the anti-tank gun... The anti-tank gun is a low mantlet in front, and even the 95 light tank can easily crush it under the tracks.

Even the 95 light battle has an advantage against anti-tank guns.

Because of its small size and high speed, it can rush in front of enemy gunners before they can react after finding the target.

These analyzes were correct, but Tomijiro never expected that the Eighth Route Army's trump card was not anti-tank guns but T34 tanks.

The T34's high mobility, high defense and firepower are obviously suitable for dealing with enemy tanks. Of course Wang Xuexin doesn't use it to attack cities... To siege cities and clear out gun towers and bunkers, there is no need for high mobility, high defense and even firepower as long as they are enough.

, anyway, if you shoot a cannonball into the perforation hole and hit the inside of the bunker, everyone inside will die. What’s the difference if the cannonball is more powerful or less powerful?

Therefore, t26 is responsible for siege, and t34 is responsible for the tank troops in the enemy's reinforcements.

Due to the principle of confidentiality, T34 marched in concealment all the way, and smoke was ignited in advance wherever it passed. Moreover, T34 was always covered in camouflage during the march, and even the tank guns were wrapped in sacks.

Afterwards, T34 immediately hid in the tank bunker after entering the position.

The tank bunker that T34 hides in is slightly different from the cover that was just used for hiding as mentioned before.

The bottom of the T34 tank bunker is divided into two levels. Driving into the lower level can completely hide the T34 body inside. However, if you want to fight, you only need to drive forward one parking space, and the tank will be on the higher level.

The tank turret was exposed.

It really looks like an anti-tank gun, because it has a barrel extending out and only a mantlet when viewed from the front.

Wang Xuexin believes that as long as there is something unknown to the enemy on the battlefield, it should be hidden for as long as possible, maybe there will be some surprises.

For example now...

If Tomijiro knew that there were ten T34 tanks in front of him, he would not order the troops to attack at all, especially the 95th Light Combat Squadron.

You must know that the 95 Light Combat is equipped with a Type 94 37mm tank gun. Even if it fires armor-piercing projectiles, it can only penetrate 45mm steel plates at a distance of 300 meters.

The front armor of the T34 is 52mm. If you take into account the sloped armor factor, it cannot penetrate even at a distance of more than ten meters.

What's more, the 95 light combat basically does not carry armor-piercing bullets...

China does not have tanks, so even if it does have tanks, it will be dealt with by the Type 97, so the Type 95 will focus on dealing with infantry.

Since we are dealing with infantry, of course there is no need to carry armor-piercing bullets.

If the Type 95 uses grenades, I'm afraid it won't be able to hit the T34 even if it is fired casually.

But Tomijiro sent the Type 95 because he misjudged the T34 as an anti-tank gun.

This surprised Androvich, who had been observing the enemy in the tank.

"What's going on?" Androvich said: "Why did the enemy send light tanks up?"

The driver guessed: "Captain, they must look down on our tanks!"
