Chapter 267 Steel Collision 3 (please ask for red flowers!)
"Guard, pull down Captain Ma!" The regimental deputy will not be fooled. As long as Ma Mingsheng rushes to the front line, no matter what happens or not, he, the deputy regiment, will "endorse" in front of the division commander. If Ma Mingsheng rushes to the front line, he will "endorse" in front of the division commander.
If Ming Sheng died, it would not be a simple "endorsement", and it might even be reviewed by the Military Police Headquarters.
"Okay, okay!" Faced with the regimental deputy's principles, Ma Mingsheng had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.
Colonel Yoshida urged the chariot regiment to rush forward at the fastest speed, even ignoring the small Chinese army troops that were harassing the side. Finally, more than ten minutes later, he saw the inconspicuous little village on the horizon, and he saw
A large number of Chinese troops arrived and were fleeing backwards.
"Quickly, catch up and shoot with machine guns! Kill them all -" Colonel Yoshida shouted like a maniac.
"Colonel, Colonel, it's bad!" the adjutant in the command car suddenly exclaimed, ignoring Yoshida's order.
"Baga, what?" Yoshida looked around and was almost frightened. In front of him, there were three neat rows of armored tanks of the Chinese Army!
As the captain of the chariot unit, Yoshida was considered an expert. Although he was only looking through a lookout mirror, the Chinese army's chariots were obviously much more advanced than his own.
"Colonel, what should we do?" the adjutant asked. It was up to the colonel to decide whether to continue charging or retreat.
"Turn in, turn in - we have been fooled!" Yoshida looked at the posture of the tank troops on the opposite side and knew that others had been waiting for him here, but he was still rushing into the ambush circle!
However, before Yoshida's order could be conveyed, "Boom, boom, boom..." the 18 75mm mountain guns of the 3rd Marine Regiment's Mountain Artillery Battalion, which had been waiting nearby, fired the first round of shells.
Although the 75mm mountain cannon has a very short barrel and is a curved cannon with a curved trajectory, because its caliber is 75mm, it is considered a medium-sized artillery compared with the 60mm gun. The thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army simply cannot withstand the 75mm mountain cannon.
shelling.
"Five minutes of free fire!" the commander of the mountain artillery battalion ordered immediately when he saw that after the first round of shells was fired, three Japanese tanks were lying motionless. The results were brilliant. This is what is called taking advantage of his illness to kill him.
!
In 5 minutes, the mountain artillery of this era can only fire 7-10 shells at most. However, these 5 minutes are enough for our own tank troops to rush up and beat up the Japanese thin-skinned tanks.
"Brothers, let's go -" Wang Daoheng, commander of the tank regiment, saw that the mountain artillery battalion of the 3rd Army Regiment was already at war with the Japanese. As the main force of the battlefield assault, how could he not be impatient!
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
The drivers of the "T-12" pushed the accelerator to the bottom, and the deep and deep roar of the tank's motor suddenly came from the battlefield.
"boom--"
"boom--"
An impatient gunner began to fire at the Japanese tank!
"Tell everyone not to worry, get close and fight!" Wang Daoheng ordered.
Although the 37mm tank gun on the tank has a range of about 4000 meters (German pak37 combat anti-tank gun, range 4025m), it has basically no lethality at this range, and aiming is also very difficult. The 37mm tank gun or anti-tank gun
The principle of guns is exactly the same. Their shooting and aiming are relatively poor when in motion, unless they are hitting large ground targets. Therefore, the best distance for a duel between tanks is within 1,000 meters.
"Quick, quick, turn in, turn in -" Seeing the chaos on the battlefield, with tanks lying down or on fire one by one, Colonel Yoshida ignored the threat of artillery shells, stretched his head out of the command vehicle, and frantically
shouted.
Unfortunately, the rumbling sound of cannons and motors completely buried his weak voice.
"Lord Colonel, be careful!" Just as the chaos was brewing, a Japanese tank rammed straight into Yoshida's command vehicle!
"Baga!" Yoshida cursed loudly, took out a southern-style pistol and fired three "bang bang bang" shots at his men's tanks to vent his anger.
"Boom -" A tank not far away from Yoshida was suddenly shot, and the smoke caused by the explosion of the shell immediately enveloped Yoshida's command vehicle.
"Fire!" The 96 "T-12" assault tanks of the tank regiment finally approached within 1,000 meters of the Japanese tanks, and Wang Daoheng decisively gave the order to annihilate the enemy.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." The tank regiment of the National Defense Force finally collided with the thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army in advance!
The Japanese tank was instantly enveloped in smoke.
"Keep the formation and counterattack in place!" Yoshida finally understood that "turning in" is not a panacea. Yoshida already understood at this time that if he blindly turned in, his tank would not be a match for China's tank at all. If he stayed in place
Counterattack, although he is no match for him, but with the determination to fight to the death, he will always end up pulling a few backers.
Yoshida's order was well implemented. The dozen or so 95 tanks running at the front quickly formed two combat groups, covering for cover, changing positions, and bombarding for a minute or two.
After that, the fight was in good shape.
It has to be said that the Japanese army was able to achieve such great results during World War II and suffer such a tragic defeat in the future, which was closely related to their fighting will and well-trained training.
Seeing that the Japanese army wanted to fight to the death together, Wang Daoheng immediately issued the last order for this battle: "Attention, all tanks, start changing tungsten core armor-piercing bullets now! Attention all tanks, start changing tungsten core armor-piercing bullets now!"
Tungsten-core armor-piercing bullets are one of the types of armor-piercing bullets that appeared in the late World War II. It stands to reason that Wu Aihua's "merit system" has a technological level as early as 1945, so it should have this stuff in the system. However, in fact it does not. There are many special bombs and artillery shells in later generations.
Wait, the system doesn't have it.
Wu Aihua once asked the system, and the system took "deduction of points" as the premise for the answer. Wu Aihua thought for a while and simply didn't ask. Because if he asked, there would be no points.
Therefore, the emergence of this "tungsten core armor-piercing bullet" is completely developed and produced by the National Defense Forces Arsenal, specifically used to deal with the tanks of the great powers. As for the thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army, Wu Aihua really didn't take it to heart. However, this time,
During the battle, Wu Aihua also agreed that each tank should prepare 5 rounds of tungsten-core armor-piercing bullets, mainly to test its power on the battlefield. Of course, there is also the idea of using tungsten-core armor-piercing bullets at critical moments.
At this time, Wang Daoheng ordered the use of tungsten core armor-piercing projectiles, which was a critical moment. Although the Japanese tanks were small in number and although their overall quality was not as good as the Wehrmacht's assault tanks, they were all within the strike range of the 37mm anti-tank guns.
Without this special artillery shell, the Wehrmacht would definitely win, but the Wehrmacht would definitely lose more tanks and soldiers, maybe 5, maybe 10.
With the use of this special armor-piercing bullet, the losses of the National Defense Force's tanks will definitely be greatly reduced. Thinking of this, Wang Daoheng issued this order.
Because among the principles formulated by Commander-in-Chief Wu for the operations of the National Defense Force, the first priority is to reduce the losses of soldiers! Moreover, in order to reduce the losses of soldiers, detailed rules have been formulated:
The first-level commander of the Marine Division, based on the battlefield situation, has the right to decide whether the company-level units should make sacrifices to achieve the campaign objectives; the first-level commander of the group army, based on the battlefield situation, has the right to decide whether the battalion-level units should not consider sacrifices to achieve the campaign objectives.
This standard can be deduced by analogy, that is, the regiment decides whether the platoon is counted as a sacrifice, and the battalion decides whether the squad is counted as a sacrifice. To allow a regiment to not count sacrifices in order to win the battle, only the current wild commander has this power!
However, can one regiment's sacrifice really determine the outcome of a major battle involving millions of people? Obviously, this effect is somewhat exaggerated.
Only weak countries and armies prefer this kind of sacrifice; Wu Aihua must be very opposed to it. No matter whether the National Defense Forces have made such sacrifices in the past, present or future, there is no need for such sacrifices.
This is because the National Defense Forces, at least until now, always have reservations every time they fight. Since there are more ultimate means that are useless, how can we not cherish the lives of soldiers?
Although the 064th Division Tank Regiment had 96 assault tanks when it was dispatched, and the Japanese army had less than 40 tanks, the Japanese army still fought very tenaciously and had well-organized tactics.
In the end, after the Wehrmacht tank regiment was replaced with sharp weapons such as tungsten-cored armor-piercing bullets, and the victory of the battle was unquestionable, the Wehrmacht still paid the price of scrapping 5 tanks and 7 injured tanks, sacrificing 21 people, and injuring 79 people.
Got off the Japanese 57th Tank Regiment.
Cleaning up the battlefield after the war also taught the soldiers of the National Defense Force a vivid lesson. Even if a Japanese tank was knocked down, its soldiers would still operate artillery or machine guns to fight back until the end of their lives.
Therefore, the 57th Tank Regiment of more than 2,000 people, including an infantry brigade, the National Defense Forces finally captured only more than 500 prisoners, of which about 400 Japanese soldiers were captured because they were injured and unable to move.
When the detailed report of this battle was sent to the Wild Division, Commander Xia Zhongqing immediately ordered the battle report to be printed and distributed to the entire army. Although the Japanese army was a barbaric army, its fighting will and fighting spirit were worthy of learning by the National Defense Forces.
When the 064th Division Tank Regiment annihilated the 57th Tank Regiment of the Japanese 107th Division, the 065th Division on the Changxing battlefield also captured Hongxingqiao Town, the most important barrier south of Changxing.
The original "Wartime Reconnaissance Group" of the 065th Division did not capture Hongxingqiao Town in two days. After achieving initial victory in the "Bamboo Roller" strategy, they annihilated a brigade of the Japanese 117th Division through an ambush.
, however, the Japanese army immediately dispatched another brigade, which was also equipped with a tank squadron and a mountain artillery squadron, so the "wartime reconnaissance group" of the 065th Division had to abandon Hongxing Bridge and instead raid other places.
Although the pin-shaped bunker at Hongxing Bridge was skillfully built, it seemed worthless in front of the main force of the National Defense Force. To deal with this small town guarded by only one squadron, the commander of the 065th Division Jing Guotong sent a squadron of 8 tanks.
The "T-12" assault tank destroyed its three bunkers with several consecutive shots from a distance of 600 meters.
There is a difference between the Hongxing Bridge and the enemy in Xingta. The latter has a "reinforced artillery squad" with four 70mm infantry cannons, while the former has no equipment that can be called a cannon except grenades.
