The first wave of attacks launched by Miyamoto's brigade was commanded by Major Shusuke Iwata. Before this, Miyamoto had not tried to counterattack. It is well known that offense is the best defense. Moreover, the war in China has been going on for so long.
The imperial army was tired of defending and the Chinese army was tired of defending. This made the little devils very unaccustomed. Almost every day, low-level officers asked Miyamoto to fight, asking for an active attack to attack the arrogance of the Chinese people.
The army's style of play did appear arrogant, with unscrupulous artillery attacks and attacks on foot. In the eyes of the Japanese, this should be a tactic commonly used by the imperial army. Miyamoto tried several times for morale reasons, but they
Every time they gather behind the fortifications, the artillery fire of the Xuebing Army arrives. The smallest caliber of the Xuebing Army's self-propelled artillery is 105 mm, and most are 120 mm. There are also many 150 mm.
Heavy artillery, let alone a salvo of artillery of this caliber, just one gun, as long as the quality of the artillery is not too poor, will cause huge battle damage if it hits the crowd. Under the absolute artillery suppression of the Xuebing Army, the Japanese army launched
Counterattacks often fail to complete the troop buildup.
Now Miyamoto is determined to fight back, but the artillery of the Xuebing Army is a problem that must be faced. After thinking hard for a long time, he came up with a theoretically feasible method, which is to pass through the area covered by artillery fire as quickly as possible.
, get close to the Xuebing Army as quickly as possible and force the Xuebing Army to engage in battle. Then, in order to prevent the Xuebing Army artillery from accidentally bombing their own people, they will definitely throw rat weapons, which is equivalent to eliminating their artillery advantage.
Just as the artillerymen of the Third Guangxi Police Division were overjoyed when the Japanese artillery finally showed up after dormant for a long time, the appearance of the Japanese tank troops also overjoyed the cadets of the Chariot Troop of the Third Guangxi Police Division. The little devils became more and more afraid of competing with them.
, they are increasingly looking forward to a head-on collision with the Japanese tank troops. The Japanese army used the Zero Heavy Battle as a fortress, which once made them curse the Japanese for being fearless. But now, the Japanese tank troops finally go into battle. In their opinion, this will
It was their rare opportunity to fight against tanks. It was so precious. Originally, they were worried that the artillery would fire sniper fire first and then the Japanese soldiers would be scared away. But when they found out that when the Japanese soldiers rushed out, the sound of artillery did not sound.
, each of them had a smile on their face, and they became more and more energetic.
The reason why the artillery brigade of the 3rd Guangxi Police Division did not conduct sniping was because He Zhengjiang was worried that the Ishikawa detachment's attack on Fudaishi was fake and the attack on them was real, so he ordered them to move to the front line of Meilin Bridge.
The Japanese army had suffered too many losses from the cadet artillery brigade, so after breaking out of the fortifications, although they fired quickly due to Miyamoto's guidance, they were actually worried about the sound of thunder coming from the south.
The sound was not heard for a long time, and the Iwata Shu boy felt a lot more at ease. He squatted behind the turret of a new Type 98 tank, first used a telescope to carefully observe the position of the cadet army, and then suddenly waved his hand and said: "Sir
, speed up!”
Jie Shang's full name is Jie Uesang, Captain, and he is the captain of this tank convoy. In order to protect the 6th Cavalry Regiment, Miyamoto had not only requisitioned Akino San's Zero Heavy Battle Group, but also other tank troops in the previous defensive battle.
None of them moved. Sukegami stayed at the rear and hid in the camouflage fortifications every day. Although he knew that the fighting on the front line was fierce, he did not know the specific situation. It was precisely because he did not know the situation that the morale of the unit was higher than that of the Iwata Brigade and the Iwata Brigade.
Kim Cheol-soo's brigade is more normal, and many people still have the courage to fight against the Xuebing Army.
"Hai." Jie Shang responded loudly, passing on the order to advance. Immediately, the twelve New Type 98 tanks of the Japanese army spewed out a stream of black smoke almost at the same time, and the Japanese army rushed towards the Xuebing Army position.
.
The Japanese position was at a high point near the front line. Keiji Sanada, the commander of the main force of the Japanese counterattack, was standing against a crooked tree, observing the battlefield situation with a telescope.
"The Chinese people are very capable of building fortifications." He suddenly lowered his head and said to Toyoda Dujun at his left foot.
Toyoda Totoshi was also holding a telescope, but he was lying on the ground. He obviously had a much deeper understanding of the Xuebing Army than Keiji Sanada. He said: "The Chinese have construction machinery, so they can naturally build fortifications quickly and well, and
, I heard that their engineer shovel is special and very powerful!"
"The Chinese artillery did not move, which is a good thing for Iwata and the others!"
"The Chinese tanks are on the second line and can be reinforced at any time. The New Type 98 is no match for the Mandrill. If it were me, I wouldn't necessarily use artillery. Your Excellency, please don't forget that we are besieged on three sides."
Toyota Road.
"Iwata and the others are originally decoys. As long as the Chinese mandrills dare to come up, our Zero tank destroyer will teach them a profound lesson!"
Toyota shook his head and said nothing.
The cadet army is stationed on the front line by the 22nd Regiment of the Guizhou Police 8th Brigade and the 20th Regiment of the Guizhou Police 7th Brigade. The commanders are the brigade commanders Feng Chunlan, Keiji Sanada and Toyota of the 7th Guizhou Police Brigade.
While Du Jun was observing the situation on the battlefield, Feng Chunlan was also observing. The 22nd Guangxi Police Regiment belonged to the mechanized infantry regiment, and because it was a defensive battle, their armored vehicles and armed off-road vehicles were not used. The Japanese troops were advancing more and more.
Nearly, when they broke through the distance of 300 meters, Feng Chunlan gave an order, Xie Yuchun immediately howled, and then drove the tank to rush up through the passage reserved by the 22nd Regiment.
His tank had been hit three times and once by Akino a few days ago. After rough repairs, there was still an obvious scar on the front armor. The frontal armor-piercing projectile was not penetrated at a distance of about 1,400 meters.
, this scene was too shocking to the Japanese armored soldiers. At that time, Sanada Keiji memorized the serial number of the mandrill, so Xie Yuchun rushed into his telescope lens and he immediately distinguished it.
His heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. In the past few days, Sanada Keiji's mind had been wandering around this matter a lot. What he couldn't figure out was that in theory, the armor-piercing projectile launched by the Zero Heavy Warfare obviously had the power of 1,800 meters.
The ability to penetrate the Mandrill's frontal armor at a distance of 1,400 meters, so why can't it be penetrated in actual combat at the optimal range of 1,400 meters? Could it be that the Chinese are using new metal materials, or that the Zero Heavy Warfare and Zero Type
The armor-piercing projectiles equipped on tank destroyers still have flaws.
The little devil was puzzled, so he hoped to test it through actual combat. The tank gun caliber of the Zero tank destroyer and the Zero heavy combat equipment were the same, and the shells used were the same. The difference lay in the armor protection capability of the former.
It is larger, but the speed is reduced, and the armor protection capability is greater, which means stronger battlefield survivability. Then, the Zero tank destroyer can try a closer range! If 1,400 meters is not enough, then put it in
Eight hundred meters or even six hundred meters, this is what Sanada calculated. This is also the biggest reason why Miyamoto has no hope in the Zero tank destroyer, but he still refuses to admit defeat.
