Chapter 382: Hitting the Rabbit

At the same time that the Japanese army discovered the Huaxia army, the tankers of the forward company of the 1st armored battalion who had caught up also discovered the oncoming Japanese Type 95 heavy tank.

Dong Hongyun, who was half-exposed from the turret, saw the shadow of a bridge from a distance through the telescope, as well as the chariots in front of the bridge.

Looking at the strangely shaped cast round turret and the short-barreled 70mm gun of the Type 95 heavy chariot, Dong Hongyun's eyes showed a strange and excited look, which was like a wolf that had been hungry for three days and met a group of hares that were jumping and running over.

Tank-to-tank, this is what these warlike tankmen have been waiting for for a long time, since the establishment of the armored forces, these tank units have not fought with the Japanese tanks in a dignified manner. When was the last time I fought with the Japanese tanks, by the way, that time was with the Japanese Army's Fifth Tank Brigade, and the Japanese army's thin-skinned tanks were almost shot down by them, just like shooting targets, how easy it was for Sensei.

It's just that this time, Dong Hongyun looked at the Japanese tank in the distance, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, what is this, little devil, is the tank still made like this?" ”

It's no wonder that Dong Hongyun was surprised, for countries and armies with small geographical areas and scarce resources, one specialty and multiple abilities are their favorite things, including the manufacture of weapons. The Type 95 heavy tank weighs 29.5 tons, which can only be regarded as the standard of a medium tank by the standards of European countries, but in the eyes of the Japanese, who have always been a little petty, this is already an out-and-out heavy tank. Moreover, in order to strengthen the multi-functional function of the tank, the Japanese designers placed a Type 94 70mm tank gun for it. It also added a Type 94 37 mm tank gun secondary turret, rear machine gun turret, and a Type 91 6.5 mm tank machine gun behind the main turret.

In this way, a tank with a total of two turrets and two machine guns can fit so many weapons into a tank with less than thirty tons. Only the Japanese can do it, but after seeing such a strange chariot at first glance, Dong Hongyun and the others were stunned at first, and then there were cheers from everyone in the headset.

"Brothers, let's teach these little devils a lesson and teach them what tank warfare is!"

When the distance between the two sides was only more than 1,200 meters, the company commander's excited roar was heard on the radio of the forward company of the 1st Armored Battalion!

"The idea of each car is ready to meet the enemy! In order. Each vehicle chooses its own target and uses armor-piercing shells! ”

"Slow down to fifteen kilometers!"

After spotting the chariot coming towards them from the bridge through the scope, they listened to the command coming from the headset. Dong Hongyun suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, gave the order to the driver through the radio in the car, and began to measure the distance at the same time, although the outline of the Type 95 heavy tank was not very clear at such a distance. But a nearby dirt slope was very clearly visible to them. The gap between it and the war workshop is only about 30 meters, and ranging with the help of nearby markers has been one of the main subjects of training for these tank crews by Fred and Adele since the establishment of the armored forces.

The distance to the dirt slope in the rangefinder has been measured, and the image is slowly aligned from the staggered shape, by which time the loader has loaded a 75mm armor-piercing shell into the breech, and the bolt closes with a clear metal impact.

"A thousand meters away!"

"Parking ......"

Dong Hongyun shouted loudly, and then slowly shook the high and low machine to adjust the angle of fire of the artillery, and the shadow of the Japanese tank in the observation instrument became clearer and clearer, and then his hand pressed the launch button violently.

"Tom......"

Tank No. 065, which was at the forefront, fired the first shot. The 2.5-kilogram ****** of the KwK40 tank gun caused the 25-ton No. 4 tank hull to slam violently, and a cloud of black-red smoke erupted from the muzzle at the same time. Then a shock wave also erupted at the same time, and this strong shock wave first suppressed the smoke and dust, and then spread out in all directions, and the sharp armor-piercing projectile weighing 4.3 kilograms immediately rushed straight to the target at a high speed of kilometers per second.

In another time and space, the No. 4 tank was continuously improved for six or seven years from the finalization of 19 to the end of World War II, and a total of seven or eight models from Type B and Type C to the final Type J were experienced.

This J-4 tank is equipped with a tank gun that is forty-eight times the length of the long-barreled tank gun, which was used against Lao Maozi's T-34 tank in another time and space, and is now used against the Japanese "heavy tank" with the thickest front armor of only 35 mm.

"Bang Dang"

First, there was a tooth-aching metal crash, and the high-speed sharp armor-piercing warhead easily pierced the front armor of the Type 95 heavy tank, until it hit the armor inside the tank before the shell suddenly exploded.

"Poison!"

With a muffled sound, a cloud of black smoke immediately rose from the turret of the Type 95 tank led by the leader, followed by a violent explosion, and the next moment the tank was completely engulfed by a sea of fire from the inside out. With a violent explosion, the two-ton turret was blown into the air by a violent shock wave, and then smashed heavily into a nearby Japanese infantryman, who was instantly smashed into meat sauce.

"Okay, blow up their ammo bin!" Dong Hongyun smashed his fist on the armor on the side and shouted excitedly.

Just as his words fell, a violent explosion also came from outside, and the twenty-five-ton tank shook violently, and the originally roaring engine suddenly lost its sound.

Dong Hongyun, who was stunned for a while, shook his head and said loudly: "It's not good, the devil hit us!" Everyone's okay! ”

"Head, we're all right!" Soon, the voices of the crowd rang out in the car.

"It's okay!" Dong Hongyun let out a long breath, and then hurriedly said: "Wei Junneng, hurry up and check the vehicle, you can't let the car turn off, Feng Ziqiang hurry up and load the shell!" ”

"Understood!"

"Giggle...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

With the sound of the motor firing, soon the tank began to roar again.

These things are a long story, but they are actually less than two minutes, and in this time, five Type 95 chariots have been driven into the hell of flames and smoke, and the chariots that have been shot have been set on fire. The shells that continued to explode in the high temperature inside the tank continued to spray flames from the various exits and gaps of the tank, and the original green Type 95 tank was burned black in an instant.

Occasionally, a few Japanese tankmen escaped from the tank, but their bodies were completely engulfed in flames, and except for a few who rushed out of the tank with a howl and scream, most of the others lost their strength and turned into charcoal after climbing out of the tank. Even the occasional lucky one or two escaped from the chariot, and after a few steps, they fell to the ground, allowing the flames to consume them completely.

On the contrary, although the accuracy of the Japanese tanks was not much, and several No. 4 tanks were also hit by the Japanese, the short-barreled 75 mm tank guns equipped with the Type 95 heavy tanks could not penetrate the thick 80 mm armor of the No. 4 J tanks, and at most they could only leave a small crater on the front armor and then be bounced off.

"Bagaya Deer...... How so, how could the chariots of the China people be so strong? After seeing this scene, Machida You couldn't help but be shocked.

You must know that Machida Youkan is not a simple rookie, this is a veteran who participated in the Battle of Nomenkan and fought with the Soviet armored forces. He had led his squadron to fight against the armored forces of the Soviets, and the Soviets' T26s had also been destroyed by him several times, and now he found that he couldn't even penetrate the Chinese tanks, which also made him a little unacceptable for a while.

It's just that although he is angry, he also knows that he must not retreat at this time. He immediately ordered the signal soldiers: "Koizumi-kun, you immediately flag the chariots outside, order them to open the distance, and lean up at full speed to close the distance, I don't believe that the chariot of the people of China will be so strong that it will not be able to penetrate!" Then tell the infantry around you, speed up and find a way to get close to the chariot of the Shina people, and blow them up with explosives packs! ”

It has to be said here that although the Type 95 tank is already the only mass-produced heavy tank in Japan, the gap between its performance and European tanks of the same period is still huge. The stingy Japanese always wanted to turn the chariot into an all-rounder, but the consequence of being multi-skilled was that everything was scarce.

Whether it is a 37 mm tank gun or a 75 mm short-barreled tank gun, or even two 6.5 mm machine guns are used to hit infantry and machine gun bunkers. Because the imaginary enemy of Japan at the beginning of the design of this tank was Huaxia, in the face of the Chinese army, which did not even have a few tanks and was desperately short of anti-tank guns, the Japanese army's tank was naturally invincible, and it could be used to deal with the No. 4 tank covered with heavy armor.

In the first round of firing, the Japanese destroyed five tanks, and the tankmen of the forward company were naturally thunderous with joy when they saw such a situation.

"Hahaha...... The little devil is so vegetable, it's as easy as hitting a rabbit! ”

"Brothers, hurry up and give the devil another round!"

"Fire!"

"Tom ......"

Another round of shells smashed through, and with a few explosions, several more Type 95 chariots lay on their stomachs.

In just two rounds of shelling, the Japanese tank squadron lost seven or eight tanks, and this loss was already half of the entire squadron.

Seeing such a situation, Machida You also felt that his heart was dripping blood, but he knew that he must not retreat now, after all, there was a river behind him, only an iron bridge was there, and there were so many infantry around him, once he showed signs of retreat, the entire Japanese army would definitely be in chaos!
