The position Ma Ming aimed at was the commander's peephole on the lower left side of the front armor of the Zero tank destroyer. "The peephole of the Japanese tank destroyer, the one on the lower left." He shouted on the walkie-talkie,
There are usually at least two peepholes on a tank, one for the commander and driver, and one for the gunner to observe. Some vehicles equipped with machine guns inside will also have an additional one for the shooter.
The Zero tank destroyer focuses on its own protection and strike capabilities. The only guard weapon it is equipped with is a machine gun for the top of the turret, so there are only two peepholes on its front armor.
The three Jiguang medium tanks stopped together, then the turrets rotated, and then three muffled thunder exploded. In a moment, three artillery shells roared out of the barrels and flew towards the Zero tank destroyers they were aiming at.
All three shells hit their respective targets, but they only gave the Japanese soldiers a false alarm. The peephole was only twenty centimeters long and about five centimeters wide. The target was too small, and the target tank was still too small.
While in motion, trying to hit a target from a distance of about 1,500 meters requires not only extraordinary skill, but also considerable luck.
After missing a hit, Ma Ming was not discouraged and shouted: "Come again." Then he added: "Everyone hit the middle car."
There was another salvo, and three shells hit the same Zero tank destroyer. Although they still failed to penetrate its armor, they caused the tank to suffer. The violent explosion damaged many bolts of the tank destroyer.
It became loose, and its engine roared twice and then stalled. Just when the commander of the vehicle was in a hurry to restart the engine, the fourth shell fired by the Jiguang medium tank commanded by Ma Ming personally
Finally hitting the target, the shell got directly stuck into the peephole and exploded. The metal jet generated by the shaped charge rushed into the vehicle. The head and neck of the Japanese commander behind the peephole were immediately crushed and burned, and the jet continued inside.
When sprayed, the nylon and plastic parts in the vehicle immediately burned, and then the shell exploded, "boom." In the violent explosion, the destroyer disintegrated from the inside out, and the steel structure body and the inside
The Japanese soldiers were torn apart by the high-pressure airflow together, and as the violently expanding mushroom clouds shot out in all directions,
Feng Chunlan paid close attention to Ma Mingpai, and when he saw this, he praised him loudly: "Platoon leader Ma, you did a good job."
Ma Ming immediately made his experience public, and the peephole used by the snack tank destroyer commander became the primary target of the student gunners.
A thousand-meter distance can be passed by a tank with a speed of tens of kilometers per hour in a blink of an eye. The closer the distance, the tighter the hearts of the soldiers on both sides become. This is also the time when their tactical literacy is best reflected.
The exchange of fire began, and as the distance between the tanks on both sides narrowed, Jiguang's medium tanks were gradually at a comprehensive disadvantage.
At a distance of about 800 meters, neither the side armor nor the front armor of the Jiguang medium tank can withstand the Japanese 87 mm caliber high-explosive armor-piercing projectiles. At this distance, even if the Zero tank destroyer is shot in the side, it will not be able to withstand it.
It will not cause fatal injuries. A Jiguang medium tank was hit by a bullet in the front. The fire burst out. First, a hole as big as a bowl appeared on the front armor, then a burst of black smoke came out from the turret end cover, and then there was a violent explosion.
There was a sound, and then, the tank's turret flew away together with the cannon, and the mutilated corpses of the three trainees flew out.
"円西." Seeing this scene, Sanada Keiji was greatly encouraged and shouted louder.
Feng Chunlan's heart tightened. The confrontation between tanks is what he fears most. You pose no threat to the enemy, but the enemy can easily tear through your armor. At this time, courage, individual soldiers Factors such as literacy and other factors that can affect the battle situation have been weakened to the greatest extent. Even if the weaker side has enough courage to persist, it may not be able to change the battle situation in the end. At this time, the best way is not to continue to resist stupidly, but Seek outside help,
Three more tanks were hit one after another, and two of them exploded, destroying all the people and vehicles. Feng Chunlan had no choice but to order his troops to disperse, and used his speed advantage to get to the side of the Japanese tank array, while heading towards them. Li Qianyong asked for help,
After the smoke cleared, He Zhengsheng and Li Qianyong were able to have a panoramic view of everything on the battlefield. The Jiguang medium tank was no match for the Zero tank destroyer. This was what He Zhengsheng and Li Qianyong had not expected. After the advent of tanks, the Japanese army launched many new tanks. However, actual combat proved that although the performance of these so-called new tanks has been improved, they are not enough to challenge Jiguang's dominance, the "Zero tank destroyer." "He Zhengjiang muttered, picked up the phone and called Duan Murong, the brigade commander of the direct security brigade,
Duan Murong responded quickly,
He Zhengjiang ordered: "The Eighth Brigade of the Guangxi Police can't stand it any longer. Please support them and try the actual combat effect of the rocket launcher against the Zero tank destroyer."
Duan Murong took the order and immediately led the special service company to the front line in an armed off-road vehicle.
The so-called special service company is a special force belonging to the headquarters established by He Zhengjiang after the Langya. Because of the highly mechanized nature of the unit, in terms of equipment and equipment, the company focuses on individual anti-tank vehicle capabilities. It is not only equipped with Anti-tank mines, and various other weapons that can effectively damage tanks. Among these weapons, the most advanced ones are naturally rocket launchers equipped with special armor-piercing warheads.
Although the rocket launcher has not been around for a long time, due to the good feedback from the frontline troops, the Xuebing Research and Development Institute has strengthened the research and development of this weapon. As a result, various new rocket launchers with special combat effects have come out one after another, and some can be loaded off-road. A heavy-duty rocket launcher on the vehicle for hitting solid targets,
The flexibility and maneuverability of an armed off-road vehicle cannot be compared to that of a relay tank, and the Zero tank destroyer, which has a speed of only about 30 kilometers per hour, is naturally even worse.
For Keiji Sanada, being able to completely suppress the military chariot troops was a real pleasure, and it also greatly reduced his fear of mandrills. Miyamoto received his battle report as if a drowning man had seen something. He saw a life-saving straw and immediately ordered him to return reinforcements to cover the retreat of the main force.
Miyamoto originally expected that the combination of anti-tank trenches and emergency relief teams could contain Xie Yuchun's regiment's offensive. However, he underestimated Xie Yuchun's wisdom. Throw grenades into the trenches, and concentrate several Mandrills to suppress firepower at the anti-tank trenches at a certain distance. This was repeated several times. The Japanese emergency response team suffered heavy losses and no longer had the ability to contain them. Xie Yuchun then ordered the troops to clear the anti-tank trenches. The tank trench section was passed through, and so on. When Sanada Keiji's troops gained the advantage in the tank battle, they had already broken through two anti-tank trenches, and their troops were pointing directly at Miyamoto's headquarters.
