Chapter 699: Greeting with Death

"Boom!" "Boom!" After two loud cannon shots, one of the Type 99 tanks was hit by artillery fire, making a sharp metal collision roar, which turned out to be a sneak attack on the tank by two hidden Franc cannons, and one of the guns was successful.

The Franc cannon shell was an iron ball weighing seven pounds, and the sound of hitting the tank at high speed was indeed loud.

The Qing army was really hard enough, playing the tactics of using artillery and Tiance Army bayonets to see red, and the Franc machine gun was used as an anti-tank gun.

Seeing that he had achieved success with one shot, the group of Qing artillery couldn't help but cheer. In their minds, the Franc cannon is an invincible existence, and this cannon hit the chariot of the Tiance Army, which is definitely the end of the car being destroyed and killed.

The chariot of the Tiance Army is the nightmare of the Qing army, and it is so exciting to be able to kill the chariot of the Tiance Army.

But their cheers stopped abruptly, for the tank seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then stopped moving, and the turret of the tank was turning, looking for the source of the cannon.

Looking at the chariot again, under the shot he had just made, it was just a piece of skin rubbed off.

The Type 99 tank was indeed knocked out of a piece of skin by the Franco cannon, but that piece of skin was only the reactive armor of the tank, not the tank itself.

This tank is more perverted, and it is also covered with a layer of reactive armor, in fact, there is no reactive armor, and other forces in this era have not yet had the ability to destroy the tank, but when this tank was sent over by Wang Yue, it already had its own reactive armor.

The on-board computer of the Type 99 tank has the function of automatically tracking the heat source, which is able to quickly lock on to the target. Of course, compared with the regular tank soldiers of later generations, the soldiers of the Tiance Army can only be regarded as amateurs among amateurs, and if they play operations such as crashing cars and hitting fixed targets, they are indeed very slippery now.

As a result, the tank did not lock on to the target as quickly as expected, but the muzzle still gradually locked onto the target.

"Quick, it's spotting us, let's shoot again." A Qing artilleryman reacted quickly and hurriedly reminded.

Other Qing artillerymen scrambled to reload the Franc cannon, which was known for its high rate of fire in European artillery, usually with four to nine guns and a rate of fire of up to 20 seconds.

But no matter how fast the rate of fire of the Franc cannon is, it cannot be compared with the Type 99 tank, "Boom! "The Type 99 tank rang out, and with the shock of the recoil body, the Qing artillery was swept away as if it had been blown by a strong wind.

The power of the 125-mm modern tank gun is amazing, and under a close shot, the half-ton Franc cannon was blown into twisted flowers and turned into parts, and the Qing artillery was blown into minced meat.

Not long after, the Type 99 tank opened fire again, and another Franc cannon was also blown into the sky.

"Da Da Da!"

"All of them!"

As the Tiance army attacked the Qing army's position, gunfire and artillery rang out one after another, and the surviving Qing troops jumped out one by one to launch a sneak attack on the Tiance army.

The Qing army's fortifications were indeed much better than the Battle of Pyongyang, and the surviving Qing troops were still more than half of the surviving Qing troops under the more powerful artillery bombardment of the 3rd Division than the Battle of Pyongyang. This is also related to the fact that the Qing army learned to hide from artillery bombardment, and the personnel were more dispersed.

The four tanks acted as targets to attract firepower, and they all jumped over the trenches, hit the stone walls and earth walls, and hit the surviving earthen forts.

The tank is big enough and the target is obvious, and the Qing army also wants to get it quickly, so it has become the first choice of the Qing army.

Sixty-four armored vehicles then relayed, and after the armored vehicles arrived at the Qing army's trench one after another, they used their vehicle-mounted machine guns to sweep the Qing troops in the trench.

Not to be outdone, the Qing army in the trenches bombarded the armored vehicles with eight-pounder guns, six-pounder guns, three-pounder guns, large and small mortar guns, tiger squat guns, sub-mother guns, all kinds of firearms and 10,000 enemies (home-made grenades).

Those collapsed or non-collapsed earthen forts also had various cannon ports sticking out, firing at the various types of chariots of the Tiance Army.

The artillery arranged in the earthen fort is mainly the Franc machine gun and the large mortar cannon, because these cannons are heavier, so they are arranged in the earthen fort, but the number is not much, the total number is more than 100 guns, of which the mortar cannon is the mainstay, half of which has been destroyed in the previous shelling.

"Jingle Bell!" From time to time, tanks and armored bodies were hit by a variety of firearms, making a clanging sound.

Immediately, the chariots of the Tiance Army launched a counterattack, "All of them!" "Boom, boom!" Vehicle-mounted machine guns and tank guns roared incessantly, and the Qing army was either beaten into a sieve or bombarded to the slag.

For a time, the entire Qing army's position was filled with gunsmoke, smoke, crackling into a pot of porridge. The firearms of the Qing army were fired with black powder, and the smoke was very thick, which shows that the firearms rate of the Qing army was still quite high.

This was also forced by the Tiance army, and the Manchu Qing found that it was possible to deal with the Tiance army only with firearms, so they made all kinds of firearms in recent years.

Whether it is the Han military banner of Kong Youde and others, or the Lang machine man, or the Ming craftsmen captured by the Manchu Dynasty, one is counted as one, as long as it can make firearms, it is regarded as a treasure by the Manchu Dynasty, and all kinds of firearms have been put on the horse.

It is a pity that the industrial level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is almost zero, and the materials are relatively scarce, and they are purely handmade, and they cannot be equipped with firearms for 500,000 soldiers, so these firearms are mainly arranged in city defenses and fortresses.

The Manchus were soberly aware that their firearms could not pose a lethal threat to the Tiance Army in terms of range or rate of fire compared with the Tiance Army, so the field troops were still dominated by cold weapons.

The 3rd Division used tanks to attract Qing firepower, and the armored vehicles were then suppressed and eliminated. Fifty bulldozers then arrived at the trench one after another, and the big shovels of the bulldozers pushed up the sediment, and in the roar of the engines, pushed a large amount of sediment into the trench, and the Qing troops who were thunderbolting against the bullets that were pouring into the trench were immediately buried alive.

"Smack!" "Bang Bang!" "Boom, boom!" The infantry of the Tiance Army also covered the bulldozers and followed, and automatic rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, and grenades kept beckoning into the trenches and behind the earthen and stone walls.

Recoilless guns reappeared, targeting mainly the muzzles sticking out of the collapsed earthen bunkers.

The trench tactics of the Qing army were still insufficient, and the vast majority of the Qing army did not have enough understanding of the performance of the various types of combat vehicles of the Tiance Army. They always ignorantly think that the firearms in their hands can penetrate the combat vehicles of the Tiance Army, but in fact, even the best Franc machine guns cannot penetrate armored vehicles with special steel bodies.

Therefore, after the chariots of the Tiance Army appeared, the surviving firepower of the Qing army was exposed, and the tactical mistakes of the chariots of the Tiance Army were fatal, and the Qing army almost gave up the opportunity to kill more Tiance Army infantry.
