The 280th Tank Battalion Sortie (2)

The 12.7 mm heavy machine gun has an initial velocity of 825 meters per second and a theoretical rate of fire of 450 to 600 rounds per minute.

A string of glowing bullets was fired at the Zero, and the shooter could constantly adjust the direction and angle of the shot according to the tracer bullets.

The first Zero didn't look good, why did so many glowing bullets fly towards their own plane. But he was a fierce man in the basin - he didn't know the depths, but he still thought with confidence: the plane attacked the tank, and the 7.7mm machine gun didn't matter, and it couldn't penetrate the tank's armor at all. The 20-mm cannon is also not very powerful, and if it is aimed well, it will be difficult to say that it will not hit the tank.

Only 30 kg of aerial bombs are the most powerful, as long as the bomb is thrown next to the tank, the tank overturns, the tank is considered to be unsaved.

He only thought about the recent, the most recent way to drop this bomb on the tank......

1200 meters, 1000 meters, 800 meters, 600 meters, just at this distance, suddenly, he only felt a pain in his body, a 12.7 mm powerful bullet, drilled through the aluminum fuselage, hit his body, and the pain made him almost faint. But he persevered, watching the tanks getting closer and closer......

Two more 12.7mm bullets mercilessly pierced the plane and hit him. He couldn't control his body and the plane anymore, he was dizzy and didn't know anything.

The Zero quickly came into close contact with the earth, and in a large burst of fire, the Zero exploded and caught fire, raising a cloud of black smoke, which rose quickly towards the sky, and then slowly, for a long time, gradually dispersed.

The second Zero plane looked at it, and it seemed that it was not possible to throw bombs, if it was to throw bombs, 500 meters would not be counted, 300 meters would be accurate, and within 100 meters, it would be possible to drop bombs within 10 meters next to the tank. Before the bomb arrived, he was hit by the opponent's heavy machine gun.

So the second Zero aircraft opted for an aerial artillery attack.

At a distance of 3,000 meters, he began to prepare, trying to lassoze a Chinese tank with an aiming net, but it didn't work. At this distance, the tank is like a little ant, what is the role of the set.

At 2000 meters, 1500 meters, the tank gradually grew larger in the aiming net.

1200 meters, 1000 meters, finally able to attack, he threw a string of aerial artillery shells at a Chinese tank car.

At this time, the Type 99 I 20-mm aircraft gun had just been put into use on the battlefield, and there were still many imperfections. In particular, this aircraft gun has two shortcomings, one is the ballistic curve, which creates a great deal of uncertainty for the changing firing range. In addition, the scattered shells are large, which is not conducive to the concentrated attack of the point.

However, for European and American aircraft that were not equipped with aviation guns at that time, the 20-mm aircraft guns were still quite terrifying.

From the Zero, the muzzle emitted a white light from the friction of the shell against the chamber, and a 20-mm shell flew towards an M2 tank.

As the shell flies, due to the huge gravitational pull of the Earth, the trajectory begins to bend, and the shell also begins to disperse to the side. Finally, several shells hit the side of the tank, causing more than two feet of dust, and one of the shells actually hit the armor of the tank.

With a "dang", the shell slashed to the side and did not explode on the armor.

Another shell hit the tank's armor with a "boom", causing an explosion, but fortunately, the 25 mm thick armor was not penetrated.

Seeing that the attack of the 20mm cannon on the tank failed, Han Xing's heart was slightly relieved.

What tanks are afraid of, what they are afraid of is air strikes. Fortunately, at this time, the Japanese army had not yet equipped the Type 99 I 20mm aircraft gun with armor-piercing shells, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Later, the Type II aircraft guns produced by the Japanese army had greatly improved their penetrating power, and they were not very easy to deal with. Later air forces were equipped with missiles, and tanks were even more unable to effectively defend against aircraft.

Since the 20-mm guns on the Zero could not effectively attack the tanks, this was easy to do. At a distance of 1,500 meters from the aircraft, all 12.7 mm heavy machine guns fired into the Zero.

"Sudden ......", "Da ......", countless 12.7 mm heavy machine gun bullets flew towards the Zero.

Several of these glowing armor-piercing incendiary tracer shells hit the plane, and the plane began to burn. And because the material of the aircraft is mixed with magnesium, the combustion of the aircraft is accelerated, and the plane burns more and more, and finally burns into a raging fireball.

The driver had no choice but to skydive. The Japanese position was so small that the parachute fell to the Chinese position and was pursued by the officers and soldiers of the Chinese position.

When the third enemy plane looked, I damn it, I can't throw bombs, I can't use 20mm guns, so what do I have, it's only a 7.7mm machine gun. With this kind of heavy machine gun, there is no problem in hitting people, but if it breaks through the thick armor on the tank, it is nonsense.

But the also has to be fought, and the third Zero plane is shooting helpless bullets at the tank, "suddenly...... and "da-da......".

The Zero aircraft was armed with two Type 97 7.7mm machine guns, each with 700 rounds of ammunition. Some of these bullets hit the ground, bursting into strings of dirt bubbles, and some hit the 25 mm thick armor, just some slippery bullets, which quickly slid to the side, leaving only white spots on the armor.

The Zero was helpless against the tank, but the tank's 12.7mm heavy machine gun was unceremoniously unceremonious, and strings of armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullets flew up. The plane was hit again, burning with the last flames, and fell towards the earth.

Captain Kimoto took a look, my mother, I thought these tanks were easy to bully, but I didn't expect that our such advanced Zero aircraft could do nothing about them, but they killed 3 at once, what can I do? What can I do?

Just when he was at a loss, Xu Da's plane came again, and it was a missile attack on Kimoto's flight formation for a while, and Kimoto's plane was shot down by 4 more.

Kimoto saw that his Zero aircraft and China's large planes could not be matched at all.

Kimoto roared: "Heroic Imperial soldiers, we have to use our wits to deal with planes like China. We don't compete with them until we have good enough planes and good enough weapons to deal with them. All listen to the order and return home-"

The little devil's plane, where did it come from, and where did it fly back.

As soon as Han Xing saw that the threat of air raids had been lifted, and that the first hurdle had finally been passed, he said to You Qianqian: "Then let's move on!" ”

"Alright, move on!" Swimming forward was sweating profusely. The fierce battle between the tank and the Zero plane just now really made him nervous.

In the battle between tanks and airplanes, tanks are always inferior, and the dead things on the ground are always the planes that take the initiative compared to the living things in the sky. Being able to withstand the air raid of the devils, and also shot down 3 enemy planes, this is already a big victory! How could his heart not be nervous?

Witnessing the battle between the tanks and the Japanese air force, the morale of the national army was greatly shaken, and the impact became more violent, and the shouts of the 70th Army and the 72nd Army rang out for a while, overwhelming, and rushed towards the position of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army. And the morale of the Japanese army is even lower, not only our infantry is not good, but our aviation does not seem to be the opponent of Chinese tanks!

The defense of the tank is followed by the attack.

The M2 tank, which marched against the edge of the right flank of the Japanese army. Seeing enemy artillery in the distance, he fired with his own 37-mm guns. "Bang-" The sound of the cannon being ejected from time to time came from the barrel of the tank car, and black projectiles exploded in the distance.

The Japanese 75-mm guns also occasionally bombarded the tanks, but what is the probability of hitting the moving tanks?

Enemies in close proximity were fired with 12.7 mm heavy machine guns. The bullets of the heavy machine guns were fast and fierce, and as long as the enemy dared to show his face, the heavy machine gun bullets were swept down, and the frightened enemy was lying on the ground tightly, and he was suppressed so that he no longer dared to raise his head.

The tank unit advanced for about an hour, and at a place in Longtaiwei, two different enemy groups were spotted.

One must be the 34th Division, and countless wounded soldiers have been stretched into a long line, and the team is actually three or four miles long. The lightly wounded were walking on their own or supporting each other, a few on horseback, and only the seriously wounded were carried. The whole team is disheveled, tired, and incomplete, where does it still look like a soldier! It's not much different from calling a child!

The other team is slightly stronger than them, and still maintains the battle sequence, with the squad as the basic team, and the squad leaps forward in one squad after another. The two teams were about to come together.

Han Xing said to You Qianqian: "Not good! The 34th Division was about to join the 33rd Division. ”

You Qianqian said to Han Xing: "It's time for us to get up, should we rush up and split them in two." ”

"Yes!" Han Xing said, "Let's rush up and insert between the 33rd and 34th divisions to see what other tricks they have?" ”

You Qian nodded, and then issued an order: "The tank battalion rushed forward, inserted between the 33rd and 34th divisions, and separated them first." ”

A company of the tank battalion quickly picked up its horsepower and rushed towards the junction of the 34th and 33rd divisions. This was followed by a second and third company, which followed closely behind.

The wounded soldiers of the 34th Division looked at it, my mother, I was about to meet reinforcements, why did the Chinese tank troops come up, and they came directly towards us. These people were originally wounded soldiers, and they had long lost their combat effectiveness, and there were also some seriously wounded people, not only could not fight themselves, but also had to occupy several able-bodied people.
