There is another reason for Sanada's rapid heartbeat. According to the rules, Xie Yuchun's Mandrill must go to the repair shop after the frontal armor is damaged. At least it will not be hastily patched and then used on the battlefield again like now. In his opinion, China People did this not because there was a problem with the management of the chariot, but because it was clearly the Chinese people's ridicule to the imperial army. It was a naked slap in the face, "Eight squares." The veins in his hand holding the telescope could not help but show, and he almost I didn't crush the telescope barrel.
Sanada saw that the mandrill's heartbeat quickened and his expression changed. The Iwata Jutsu boy and Suke Soso were facing each other. The former could still control his expression and just took a deep breath, but the latter's expression changed drastically and his expression changed instantly. He turned pale and said, "Attack." Iwata raised his sword forward and roared sharply,
The firing of Type 92 heavy machine guns and mortars rang out, mixed with Japanese shouts, and then the gunshots of Type 15 semi-automatic rifles also rang out. Poor Miyamoto Brigade's originally small field artillery. The unit was saved because it played the role of turtle. Miyamoto originally expected it to play the role of a surprise soldier. As a result, the role of a surprise soldier was realized, but it had no effect at all. Within three minutes of its appearance, it was shot by the 3rd Gui Police Division. The brigade captured, and then, there was no more, without artillery preparations, the Type 92 heavy machine gun and mortars became the last heavy weapons and equipment of the Japanese army. Of course, the new Type 98 tank can also be counted, but , seeing that the Jieshang squadron that was supposed to cover the infantry rushing to the front suddenly braked neatly, and fell behind the infantry after a lag in speed. It seemed that they could not be counted on.
When the North Korean Co-Prosperity Army was formed, the Japanese army maintained an absolute advantage at least in the Northeast and North China on the Chinese battlefield, so the Koreans regarded it as a benefit. The various puppet army officers enthusiastically led their troops to participate, and they all looked forward to being able to pass on the Chinese battlefield. His performance was promoted to a first-class citizen. Yes, the Japanese's condition for attracting Koreans to join the army was that they could obtain the status of Japanese citizens based on their military exploits. This was originally the "Emperor's" new clothes that even children could see and wear, but unfortunately, The vast majority of the Korean people believed this deeply, so the Japanese were able to build up nearly 300,000 Korean Communist Army troops in just six months and put them on the battlefield in China.
At the beginning of the implementation of North Korea's Co-Prosperity Army policy, because the Japanese military headquarters was still controlled by the navy, it was resolutely implemented. This was also the biggest reason why the Co-Prosperity Army at that time was still capable of fighting and dared to fight desperately. However, the desperate efforts of the Koreans However, they failed to get rewards. At least in the southern battlefield, this did not change the war situation at that time. Without a victory, the Japanese could openly and openly fail to fulfill many of their original promises. As the casualties of the Co-Prosperity Army increased, brigade-level troops were killed one after another. The above troops disappeared on the Chinese battlefield. Gradually, other officers of the Co-Prosperity Army learned the lesson.
Today, the Communist Army has become a consumable force with a slightly higher status than the Peace Army. To put it simply, it is cannon fodder. The Bangzi officers have a clear understanding of this, and this is reflected in their command. The military discipline was no longer so strict, and instead they began to think of ways to preserve their strength. During battles, they no longer thought about how to build meritorious deeds, but how to preserve the troops to the greatest extent. Naturally, this idea of the sticks could not be hidden from the Japanese. , So, after experiencing the initial equal treatment, the Japanese no longer have a good attitude towards the sticks. For example, now, the Iwata Brigade is marching with the sticks, and the sticks are directly exposed to the guns of the cadet army. Chunlan has not ordered the fight so far, but the cadets of the 22nd Guangxi Police Regiment are already ready for battle. From a distance of about 300 meters, the stickmen can already see them standing on the edge of the trench. gun and the black muzzle of the mandrill,
"Brigade, I say, let's just launch a counterattack." Xie Yuchun saw that as soon as his troops appeared, the Japanese army's formation immediately became chaotic, and suggested to Feng Chunlan,
"No, how many people have come here? Remember the commander's arrangement."
He Zhengjiang aimed at a quick victory, so what he meant was that at the beginning of the war, it was better to control the intensity of firepower, so that the Japanese army could continue to increase their troops. After the number of Japanese troops increased to a certain level, he would launch a thunderous strike, thus pushing the enemy away. Finally, drive the Japanese troops into the Xiangjiang River,
The mandrill figure of Xie Yuchun's regiment appeared in the eyes of the Japanese and the stickmen, and the Japanese advance slowed down immediately. Sanada saw it from behind and sternly urged Iwata to speed up the attack, and instructed Sukejo that no matter whether the bombardment had any effect or not, as long as If it can improve the morale of the troops, then everyone should fire without hesitation.
Sanada hoped to further explore the true performance of the Mandrill through the test of the Sukegami Squadron. The Zero Heavy Combat equipped with armor-piercing projectiles was actually unable to break through the Mandrill's frontal armor at a distance of 1,400 meters. He always felt that there was some mystery in it. , and finding out the reason will be beneficial to the next annihilation battle he will personally command,
He extended his head and slashed his head, and Sukegami also took the risk. He got out of the turret, shouted and ordered the infantry in front to get out of the way, and then encouraged his men in the command channel, saying that the Chinese tanks were not invincible. Akino This is evidenced by the fact that the captain almost destroyed a mandrill before. Now the distance between the two sides is only 300 meters, which is suitable for the New Nine-Eight Style to exert its maximum combat power. "Gentlemen, let the Chinese mandrill myth be shattered in our hands." Finally. , he shouted these words almost howling, and then ordered the chariot under his command to fire at a mandrill with half of its head sticking out in front of him.
Xie Yuchun's regiment marching to the front line was Feng Chunlan's backup move based on foolproof considerations. Their mission was to block the Japanese tank troops and prevent them from rushing to their own positions to cause damage to the infantry and cause psychological fear. In order to To prevent premature annihilation of Japanese tanks and the collapse of the infantry without a fight, he asked Xie Yuchun to grasp the opportunity to fire, lest the Japanese attack end just after it started.
This kind of order is a bit inconsistent. Fortunately, Xie Yuchun has strong control ability and can give detailed orders to every mandrill.
The Japanese tanks lagged behind at first, and then rushed out. He looked at the battlefield situation and ordered to defeat the three New Type 98 vehicles that the Japanese rushed at the front first. These three New Type 98 Types belonged to the same squad, and the three New Type 98 tanks Type 98 rushed out first. The gunners of two of them were quick and fired. The gunner of another car was taking aim. The three mandrills in front of them opened fire at the same time. Two of the three mandrills were fired first. The New Type 98 was hit by a bullet, but after the explosion, only craters and smoke marks appeared on the front armor. Obviously, the fundamentals were not damaged. The Mandrill was able to withstand the armor-piercing projectile fired by the New Type 98, but the New Type 98 was not. Without the ability to withstand armor-piercing projectiles fired by mandrills, the three New Type 98 vehicles were like toys made of wood. They disintegrated one after another in the violent explosions. The turret of one of them was blown up more than 20 meters high. He fell hard and killed two Japanese who couldn't escape.
A 105mm tank gun fires at a distance of 300 meters. The 41mm frontal armor of the New Type 98 is almost indistinguishable from paper.
