The reason why He Zhengjiang held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the chariot fortress instead of asking the Air Force for help first was because deep down he still wanted to solve the problem himself and did not want to give up the credit to the Air Force. Cheng Kuiya saw this and asked Shanlin just now While confronting Feng Chunlan, an idea flashed in his mind. After a period of consideration, the idea turned into a complete plan, so he raised his hand and said: "Commander, maybe you don't need to ask the Air Force for help."
He Zhengsheng looked at him, his eyes brightened obviously, and said, "Tell me about it."
Cheng Kuiya responded, stood up and said: "Although the tortoise shells of the Japanese chariot fortresses are hard enough, they also have inherent weaknesses. I thought we could use incendiary bombs to deal with them."
He Zhengjiang was obviously enlightened after hearing this. He and Li Qianyong looked at each other with a tacit understanding and said: "A good idea, worth a try." Then he turned to the political director Kong Dexin and asked: "Old Kong, our burning How much ammo reserve is there?"
Due to the insufficient reserve of officers in the Xuebing Army, the political officer and the logistics officer are basically not separated. Kong Dexin blurted out: "There are two bases, which is enough." After a pause, he added: "I insist on these incendiary bombs. I came here, and I spent a lot of time talking to the guys from the logistics department, but it seems worth it now."
Incendiary bombs are special artillery shells. For these special artillery shells that can cause great damage, the Xuebing Army has stricter management measures to prevent abuse by the troops below. Kong Dexin's words are not an exaggeration.
"Okay, let's try it with incendiary bombs." He Zhengsheng made the final decision.
When the Xuebing Army was discussing ways to deal with the Zero Heavy Battle Fortress, the Japanese side was also summing up experience. Akino San was called to Miyamoto, "Akino-kun, now you know why I am so practical with the Zero Heavy Battle. "Miyamoto said to Akino San. Akino San's face turned red, and he stood up straight and said, "It's because of your humble position and recklessness. I didn't expect that the armor of the Chinese mandrill tank was so thick. At a distance of 1,500 meters, we could break through the armor." The bullet couldn't penetrate its frontal armor."
"You should wait until you reach the best range before firing. It's a pity that the Chinese actually ran away. I originally wanted to get one for actual combat testing to test the actual combat capabilities of the tank destroyer. You don't need to be too depressed, and Mandrill Compared with tanks, the Zero Heavy Battle is like a toddler. If you can scare the Chinese away, you have already accomplished something. After all, we are the defenders. Defeating the Chinese attack is victory."
"Your Excellency, but I still can't figure it out. Didn't the information from the Special High School say that the Mandrill's frontal armor is only 63mm, while our Zero's armor-breaking ability is 80mm."
Sanada Keiji answered: "Akino, didn't you pay attention to the date when you were reading the information? This was a year ago. The empire's tank technology is improving. Will the China people stay put? I think, the mandrill tank The armor should have been thickened, or the Chinese have invented some new way to increase the tank's protective capabilities. Unfortunately, the performance of the Zero tank destroyer has not been verified, otherwise, we might be able to stage an ambush."
After this incident, both Miyamoto and Sanada no longer had any hope that the Zero Heavy Combat could defeat the Mandrill, so the Zero Tank Destroyer became their last hope. In view of the actual combat performance of the Zero Heavy Combat , they became more and more uncertain, and they paid more and more attention to the actual combat test, "With the existence of the Zero Heavy Combat Fortress, the Chinese can only rely on mandrills if they want to attack. In the next battle, our first task is to retain The next mandrill should be captured alive." Miyamoto said as he looked at Major Totoshi Toyoda, the leader of the Toyota team, and said to him cautiously: "Toyoda-kun, the reason why the empire was able to do so well on the Chinese battlefield Just because of the selfless dedication of our soldiers, please." After saying that, he solemnly bowed to Toyoda Dujun,
Akino's three front kicks hit Wang Caixiao's mandrill, Toyota Dujun's back kick led the Toyota Team to the front line of the battlefield, and before they could take action, Xie Yuchun's regiment's crazy retaliatory bombardment came, and the bombardment stopped without waiting for him to take action. , Xie Yuchun turned around and retreated, but he didn’t give them a chance to perform.
"Hai." Toyoda Dujun quickly bowed his head in return, then raised his head and said: "Your Excellency, I suggest that we move the defense line of the Co-Prosperity Army forward. They will definitely not be able to withstand the offensive of the Xuebing Army. We might as well use them as bait. Already."
Miyamoto nodded,
When there was a temporary truce at the Meilin Bridge battlefield, the Xuebing Army and the Japanese army were fighting fiercely for a high ground on the Hetang battlefield. The Japanese army in charge of the Hetang direction was the commander of the 36th Brigade, Major General Suzuki Kotaro. As for the Xuebing Army, the commander-in-chief of the Infantry Regiment is Liu Zheliang, the commander of the Third Xuexi Division. The army consists of the Third Xuexi Division and the First Guangxi Police Division. In terms of strength alone, the Xuebing Army has an absolute advantage. Therefore, from the beginning From the beginning, Liu Zheliang adopted a barbaric fighting style, using tanks to cover the infantry to attack the Japanese positions in turn. Liu Zheliang's fighting style was unprecedented in his previous military career, and he was also a general from the Xuebing Army. If you don't like to use it, don't use it. This method of tactics is too variable, and it may be counterproductive if it is slightly wrong. Moreover, even if you can defeat the enemy, you will kill one thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses. The defending side has a solid support for work. After all, he had a certain advantage, and Liu Zheliang boldly launched this brutal offensive method because he saw that the Japanese army lacked anti-tank weapons and the soldiers lacked such training, and thought that he could accomplish the result in one battle. Facts have proved that the Japanese army was I am really not familiar with this fighting method. Even when many Japanese were crushed by mandrills, they didn’t understand why the Chinese people became so brave.
While the veterans on the Chinese battlefield have fully realized the power of the Xuebing Army and are afraid of hearing the name of the Xuebing Army, Japan is still promoting the myth of the invincibility of the Imperial Army. Under the influence of this trend of thought, those reserve Japs The soldiers proudly shouldered their Type 15 semi-automatic rifles and joined the active army. They thought that the trip to China would be a glorious journey. When they arrived at the two lakes, although they were instilled by the officers that they should not underestimate the military training, many of them did not They did not pay attention to it. In Hubei and Hunan, the Chinese people they could see all had numb and timid faces. This made them feel a sense of superiority about the Yamato nation. So when the cadets pounced on them like wolves, They, they simply cannot adapt to this huge gap,
"Charge up." "Fire." "Follow, keep up." "What's going on with the Second Company? Don't get entangled with the little devils. Just crush them."... In the public channel of Xuebingjun, all kinds of calls were heard. piece,
Undoubtedly, Liu Zheliang's barbaric fighting style can easily arouse the cruelty in the hearts of the students. This temperament is exposed in their cruelty to the little devils, and their various "evil deeds" are undoubtedly In the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, all of them had their livers and gallbladders cracked, making it difficult to organize effective resistance.
