The most important thing is that the armored forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were invested in this battle, forming a tactic of refueling. It was originally thought that although the Japanese army dispatched many tanks, their tank protection performance was poor, and the power of the tank guns was far less than that of the Anti-Union T-34 tanks.
Tanks. One tank regiment is enough to deal with two Japanese tank regiments in terms of strength.
So at the beginning, only one independent tank regiment was dispatched to participate in the battle. By the time they realized something was wrong and rushed reinforcements, it was somewhat too late. Although the first batch of troops to participate in the battle fought bravely and were well trained, but in terms of numbers,
The disadvantage is that a good tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves.
In addition to the inherent disadvantages of the Soviet tank's inherent backward sighting system and slightly poor long-range shooting accuracy, the first tank regiment participating in the war destroyed dozens of Japanese tanks in the melee, but it also lost one-third of itself.
Second, it is not an exaggeration to even say that the entire army was destroyed.
If Wang Minggui had not discovered it early and quickly mobilized another tank regiment to join the battle, I am afraid that the first tank regiment to participate in the battle was not almost equal, but actually the entire army was wiped out. But even if the reinforcements arrived quickly, due to the follow-up
The troops were deployed too late and failed to completely reverse the outcome of the battle.
However, although the two tank regiments that participated in the Anti-Japanese War suffered heavy losses, the two Japanese tank regiments that participated in this battle did not gain much benefit. They originally thought that they would use the powerful power of their new tank guns to defeat the Anti-Japanese Army in one go.
Allied tank troops then dealt with the Japanese infantry.
In this battle, they learned from their ally the Germans. They adopted wolf pack tactics from the beginning, and all two tank regiments entered the battlefield. They formed a dense formation and charged against the anti-Union troops. Trying to use
Armored cluster attack tactics determine victory or defeat in one battle.
In terms of the number of tanks invested by both sides, this is an evenly matched battle. The performance difference between the tanks invested by the two is far less than that of the previous Type 97 tanks. Even the T34 tanks faced this
When planting new tanks for the Japanese army, they had some disadvantages in the sighting system.
Fortunately, in terms of overall performance, the T 34 tank has a certain advantage compared to the latest tank of the Japanese army. Although the performance gap has been narrowed a lot, it still has a certain advantage. Moreover, the anti-alliance tank force has been tested for a long time and has been favored by the Japanese army.
The training was no less rigorous than that of the Japanese army. Therefore, although the two tank regiments invested suffered heavy losses, they did not make the Japanese army any easier.
In this battle, the anti-alliance tank troops killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses. However, relying on the relatively balanced performance of the T-34 tanks, the power of the 76mm tank gun, and the painstakingly trained tactics, a melee battle
Although it suffered heavy losses, all the tanks of the two tank regiments invested by the Japanese army in the battle were left on the Tongzhou North Battlefield.
The stingy Japanese army only equipped new tanks with a small number of capped armor-piercing projectiles, and did not equip them with the best-performing hard-core armor-piercing projectiles. Most of the tanks were equipped with ordinary armor-piercing explosive projectiles. This one has excellent performance in itself.
The power of tank guns has dropped by nearly one-third.
When a small amount of capped armor-piercing bullets are used up, the remaining Japanese tanks with ordinary armor-piercing bullets can only get as close as possible to the anti-alliance tank group in order to exert the power of this tank gun with excellent performance. In order to use it every time
After three rounds of capped armor-piercing projectiles were used to destroy each tank, the armor-piercing explosive projectiles with the largest amount of equipment were used to defeat the anti-Union tanks.
The Japanese commander could only desperately direct his men to rush forward, trying to engage in a close combat with the anti-alliance T-34 tanks. However, at a distance of less than 500 meters, the anti-alliance T-34 tanks
No matter how bad the sighting system is, its 76mm tank gun seems to be able to deal with this kind of Japanese tank with ease.
The 76mm tank gun fired down, and the 50mm armor of the new Japanese tank could not withstand it. I was not prepared before, and adopted the wrong tactic in order to save precious armor-piercing shells. I put the Japanese tank as close as possible, so
I suffered a big loss.
When the second echelon arrived for reinforcements, the anti-alliance tank troops, which had already mastered the improved Japanese tank guns, responded quickly. They used their own tank guns, which were relatively powerful, to maintain a distance of 500 meters from the Japanese tank clusters.
Taking advantage of their range and power, they named the Japanese tanks and finally turned the situation around.
After a tank melee, the entire northern suburb of Tongzhou was full of destroyed tanks from both sides. Although the Japanese army never came back, the anti-Union tank force also suffered such heavy losses for the first time in a tank battle.
This was almost a groundbreaking event for the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
After receiving Wang Minggui's report, although Yang Zhen was very dissatisfied, he did not blame him too much. Although the unit suffered heavy losses, Yang Zhen believed that the tank unit should also learn a lesson. Since its establishment, it has almost swept away the Japanese junk tanks.
The troops are really too arrogant.
In the previous consecutive battles and victories, the price paid by oneself cannot be said to be zero, but it is a very slight price. The troops have developed a mentality of being too high-minded. Sooner or later, they will suffer a big loss. Sooner or later, they will suffer a big loss.
It is better to eat now than to eat when you encounter a stronger opponent in the future, and the price you pay will always be smaller.
The Japanese have their own systematic military development capabilities. It turns out that the performance of tanks is not strong because they do not have the strategic need. Once necessary, they can suppress new tanks in a short time. They ignore the Japanese army's ability to update equipment and
Efficiency, today's results are not surprising.
It is better to suffer a small loss now and learn a lesson than to suffer a big loss in the future. If the price of two regiments of tanks can make them clear their heads and stop thinking that they are the best in the world, it may not be a good thing.
. Only when the pain is severe can the memory be long.
Looking at Yang Zhen, who seemed a little silent after reading the telegram, the boss took the telegram strangely, took a look at it, and then slapped the telegram on the table: "Playing the piano, what does this frontline commander do for food? This war is going on.
It was only halfway through that I realized something was wrong. This battle had just begun, and two tank regiments were wiped out."
Regarding the boss's uncontrollable anger, Yang Zhen knew very well that half of the boss's anger was because the frontline commander had made such a low-level mistake. The remaining half was probably just heartache and physical pain. As soon as the battle started,
More than a hundred tanks were lost in one fell swoop, and anyone who lost them would feel distressed.
Even the wealthy Americans, plus the Soviets who don't take human lives and equipment seriously, are enough to cause pain. The Anti-Japanese Alliance, how many tanks does the entire army have in total now? The Anti-Japanese Alliance has just been able to manufacture its own tanks, and the output is still low.
maintained at a relatively low level.
The loss was so huge, especially when such a low-level mistake was made. Even the boss, who has always been serious, would have a hard time controlling his anger. This still depends on his own subordinates. If the commander of the brother troops in Guan Nei is replaced,
, I’m afraid the boss will scold me.
For the boss who had an extremely ugly face and was obviously trying to suppress his anger, Yang Zhen stood up and poured a glass of water for him, then sat in front of him and said, "Boss, are you feeling distressed? To be honest, I'm also very angry.
, and feel even more distressed. Our own tank industry has just started, and mass production every month is less than a fraction of that of the United States, Soviet Union, and Britain."
"Moreover, we have not yet been able to produce the special steel used in tanks and the industrial aluminum used in engines, so we still need to rely on imports. We have suffered such a huge loss all at once, and we don't know when we will be able to make up for it. There are still so many more
The difficulty of replenishing a tank crew that has completed training is even greater than that of a tank."
"What's more important is that the loss of two tank regiments will also affect our follow-up combat plan to a certain extent. Faced with such a huge loss, if I say that I am not distressed and angry, it is simply to say that I am not distressed and angry.
They are telling lies. As their commander, I feel sorry for them more than anyone else, and I cannot tolerate such low-level mistakes they made, which led to such heavy losses."
The boss didn't take Yang Zhen's words seriously. He pointed at Yang Zhen and said, "I don't see any physical pain in your boy. On the contrary, you are very calm. I know you are rich and powerful now, but Comrade Yang Zhen cannot avoid it on the battlefield.
I understand the loss. But limited equipment should not be wasted like this. Don’t forget that you have worked so hard to get these equipment.”
Seeing that the boss was obviously not satisfied with the attitude he was showing now. Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Boss, I feel sorry for you, but I think the result of this battle came not too early, but too late.
Some. Only when you feel pain after eating can you remember it for a long time and learn some lessons."
"Compared with other arms, the Japanese army's armored forces have been developing slowly because their opponents are too weak. It can even be said to be a weakness in itself. And the differences in their opponents have also caused them to ignore the trend of armored forces development. Before the Pearl Harbor Incident, their main
The experience of tank combat is the experience of the Battle of Nomonhan and the Soviet tank concentration."
"But that battle not only told them that the Soviets were not to be trifled with, and that Stalin's butt was not to be touched. The tanks that the Soviet army put on the battlefield, which are now second-rate, also gave them a certain wrong direction. Of course, the Soviet Union
The tanks the army invested in the Battle of Nomonhan were still in line with international tank development at that time."
"The Type 97 tanks that were the main force of the Japanese battles with us at that time were still very good in overall performance, even surpassing the T-26 and BT tanks of the Soviet Army. But when will the weapons and equipment of the boss be updated the fastest? It is very simple.
During the war, look at the performance of tanks on the Soviet-German battlefield now. It was different from what it was during the Battle of Nomonhan."
"So I say that the Battle of Nomonhan gave the Japanese not only the impression that Stalin's butt was not easy to touch, but also affected the Japanese trend of tank development to a certain extent. But this does not mean that they are incapable.
Good tanks were made because there was no need for them before."
"The Japanese, who overemphasize their own national strength, have also made certain strategic mistakes. For many years, the Japanese have always regarded China as the target of annexation. Although our country is huge, it is weak and does not even have a modern industry.
, is simply unable to provide its own army with all the equipment needed for national defense. That’s why the Japanese armored vehicles can be so majestic on Chinese soil.”
"What is the best anti-tank weapon? It is the tank itself. Our armored forces have developed rapidly with the support or exchange of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. To a certain extent, this has forced the Japanese to constantly find ways to improve their tanks.
.It can be said that the new tanks invested by the Japanese now are, to a considerable extent, a choice made under our pressure."
"The Japanese Army has been equipping those second-rate tanks before. It's not that they don't have this capability. It's that they didn't tilt it in this direction based on their own strategic needs, national strength and strategic priorities. But many of our commanders have forgotten this.
A little bit. I even regard the Japanese tanks as my own meal."
