Anti-tank trench is a kind of trench-type obstacle that was produced in World War I and widely used in World War II to block the movement of enemy tanks.

It is possible to create a number of favorable conditions for the destruction of enemy tanks by anti-tank firearms.

In fact, in the final analysis, this anti-tank trench is a widened and deepened trench, and the specific size depends on what kind of tank it is dealing with, and the enemy's tank head is planted and cannot get up. If you take the current Pershing tank of the US army as a calculation, digging two to a depth of two and flying one meter wide, and four to five meters wide, it will be about the same

It is conceivable that if the tank insisted on driving through here, it would fall into this trench and not be able to get out, and then it would be tossed by the volunteer soldiers. At that time, it seems that all the volunteer soldiers had to do was to drill from the 'crossover' trench into the anti-tank trench, and then 'show' their bodies and throw the anti-tank grenade at the bottom of the tank that had fallen into the trench or was driving over the bridge

It has been proven that anti-tank trenches are still very good obstacles even for tanks with excellent "sexuality" in modern times. During the Fourth Middle East War, the Israeli army easily destroyed the equivalent of one armored division of Syrian tanks and four armored vehicles with a tank trench.

However, there is a difference between this kind of anti-tank trench dug by the 'color' column and the ordinary anti-tank trench, which is to pile the excavated soil on both sides of the trench, while the soldiers of the 'color' column place all the excavated earthwork on their own side, forming an earthen embankment more than two meters high. It's just a small change that can make a big difference on the battlefield

This anti-tank trench invented by the Israelites is called the Golan Trench because it was built in the Golan Heights. It is this kind of Golan trench that I am now leading the volunteer soldiers to dig in the valleys.

I built the anti-tank trench between two high ground defended by the volunteer soldiers, and the terrain was very flat, which was very suitable for tanks and armored vehicles to launch a group attack, and of course this is where the anti-tank trench could come into play.

Comrade, what are you tossing about? Several soldiers of the Fourth Division asked, standing on the top of the trench.

Anti-tank trench" Huzi, who was waving an iron look in muddy water, couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, and finally responded.

Anti-tank trenches. When the comrades of the Tian Division heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and they couldn't help but laugh Comrade, this ditch can also defend against tanks. The Yankees' tanks are also made of mud. ”

Go and go, why can't you. "Huzi replied unconvinced, there is a kind of let's just wait and see, don't you stare out of your eyes when the time comes."

After the comrades of the division walked away with a smile, Huzi came to my side and asked in a low voice: Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, you said that this anti-tank trench can really defend against tanks. ”

Just dig it, why are you talking so much nonsense," I replied angrily, and then shouted at the soldiers, comrades, work hard, you must finish in front of the enemy, and digging anti-tank trenches is victory."

Yes," the warriors replied and stepped up their movements.

The volunteers are good at civil engineering operations, and this section of anti-tank trenches is only more than 100 meters long, so it only took half a day to complete, and the soldiers even had time to practice throwing bombs in the rain for a while.

As Ren Fengyou and Huzi said, the soldiers were worthy of throwing grenades, and before they practiced for a long time, a soldier threw the grenade into the specified range at a distance of 15 meters, and only the bow came, and the volunteer soldiers watching around cheered.

The Yankees haven't come yet. Zhao Shuixin said impatiently: At the speed of the Yankees, you can also call reinforcements. I'm afraid that when they arrive, this puppet army will let us fight almost the same."

It's because of the weather," I wiped the rain off my face and replied, The Yankees' armies are all mechanized troops, North Korea's roads are in disrepair, and when it rains, there are many mudslides and landslides on the roads, and they are moving forward while building roads, how can they be so fast."

It's also "Hearing this, Zhao Shuixin couldn't help laughing and said, It's still raining well, this rain, the four wheels of the Yankees can't compare to our two 'legs'."

What's good. "The tigers all muttered, if they go fast, they don't need to wait so annoyingly, these hands are itchy."

As he was talking, there was a sudden faint sound of thunder in the rain. But surprisingly, after a long time, the thunder did not stop, and it became louder and louder, and the fighters soon realized that it was not thunder, but the sound of the motors of enemy cars and tanks.

Get ready for battle" With my order, the soldiers ran into the trenches, and I took Zhao Shuixin's company and climbed to the position on the high ground next to the anti-tank trench, where a company of the Tian Division was stationed, and their task was to hold the position, and we were responsible for paying the enemy's tanks.

The rumbling sound became louder and louder, and soon two Sherman tanks and two cars full of American GIs appeared around the corner of the road 600 meters away. The Sherman tank has been converted into a forklift, and the tank is covered in mud and water, up and down, including the American GIs in raincoats on the cars. It is believed that this is a small detachment that opened the way to reconnoitre, and they must have suffered a lot along the way, and now they are all so tired that they have no extra strength to reconnoitre, so that the convoy drove forward for more than 100 meters before they suddenly found a long and tall anti-tank trench in front of them

In the sound of the wind blowing inside, I vaguely heard them cursing loudly,

It makes me think that Americans are actually very cute, because they all complain about robbery... The trouble we have created.

With a bang, a bullet 'fired' out of the chamber of my gun, and a U.S. soldier in a car fell out of the car and fell into the rain

That's how I usually answer now

The sound of this gunfire not only frightened the US troops, but even the volunteers of the concave division were also startled. In the rain curtain, visibility was extremely low, and the cars and tanks were blurry from 500 meters away, but I was able to hit the American soldiers on the car with a single shot, which made the soldiers of the Tian Division look sideways at me.

Who. Who shot the gun. At this moment, someone in the trench shouted in a questioning tone

Who does not listen to the order and shoots casually. ”

Hmm, "That's when I realized that there were not a few people who strictly followed orders on this battlefield.

What's wrong. Huzi replied a little unhappily: The American devils have already discovered us, why can't they shoot."

At this time, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the direction of the US troops, and the Yankees seemed to want to avenge the arrow just now, and they only 'messed' at our positions with light and heavy weapons in their hands, and the tanks kept turning their turrets and 'firing' shells one after another. But they couldn't see people at all, and they couldn't even see where the positions of the volunteers were, so the shells and bullets were all flying all over the mountain, and they only saw the soldiers of the volunteers laughing.

Take a look, "Huzi *** shouted in the direction of the questioning voice just now, The shot just now was fired by our deputy battalion commander Cui, we can hit the devil, the devil hits it, no, let's call it happy."

That's it," Zhao Shuixin also shouted: Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, this shot is long, and the morale of our volunteers has dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Yankees. At this time, you must obey the order and wait for the Yankees to get closer before beating you, then you are a fool to be a Yankee scout. Even a few dozen people dared to rush towards our position. ”

That's what you have to order, no. "There was another unconvincing voice in the trenches, if you don't listen to orders, then what kind of organization, 'sex', 'discipline', 'sex', you are typical individual heroism."

You" Huzi's eyes widened, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go over and pull someone.

Okay, okay, let's say a few words, "Seeing this, I couldn't help but stop it: This is a war, everyone is brothers who live and die together, what is there to fight for." Comrades, pay attention to the Yankees, it's time to ***, and they are all ready to move back to the tunnel."

It was "the warriors answered, and they all stopped speaking."

I couldn't help but sigh secretly, different troops will inevitably have this friction. In modern materials, I know that the composition of this Tian army is quite complicated, and there are Kuomintang surrenders. There are those who have rebelled, and there are those who have been bandits

The so-called forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, although most of the soldiers of the concave division look at us with a kind of admiration, but there are still a few people who are not convinced. They looked at our troops, and as soon as they joined, they were reused by their superiors, and it was inevitable that there would be this awkwardness in their hearts, and it was inevitable that there would be people waiting to see our jokes, just like this soldier just now laughed at our anti-tank trenches for not being able to fight tanks.

Just as I was thinking that there was a sudden whistling sound in the sky, I waved at the soldiers, who willingly lined up along the trenches and withdrew into the tunnel. On rainy days, the soil is relatively loose, and the single-man air raid 'shelter' will collapse after a few shots, and there will be a lot of water, so it is a wise choice to hide in the tunnel.

However, more than 20 minutes later, when the enemy's artillery fire extended back, we were surprised to find that there were many corpses of volunteer soldiers lying in the bombed trenches, and many volunteer soldiers were frantically digging their comrades buried in the one-man air raid "holes."

What's going on. "Seeing this, I couldn't help but be shocked, and when I caught a little soldier, I asked, "Why don't you go into the tunnel."

Company commanders, company commanders: "That little soldier may have seen such fierce artillery fire for the first time, and his mind was still a little unconscious, and he said, "Our company commander said that you are cowards, saying that you have never seen the world, and the Yankees only fired a few shots, so they scared you like that, saying that we will not enter the tunnel."

your company commander. I couldn't help but be angry when I said this.

There, "The little soldier put pen to paper, and sat not far away, a middle-aged soldier staring blankly at a dozen corpses on the trench.

I didn't say anything, I ran up to him in two steps, grabbed him by the collar, 'drawn' the pistol, and hit him on the head

Bang" A gunshot rang out Fortunately, Zhao Shuixin came in time and raised my pistol into the air, otherwise this company commander would have already had a 'flower' in his head.

Deputy Battalion Commander Cui: "Under the stunned eyes of the volunteer soldiers, Zhao Shuixin snatched the pistol from my hand and persuaded him, If you have something to say, you have something to say, he has never fought with the Yankees, and I don't know how powerful the Yankees' artillery is."

The company commander was also awakened by the sound of the gunshot, and the confusion and sluggishness on his face in the rain turned into pain and regret in an instant, and he couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, and the droplets fell straight down

I was still angry, grabbed him by the collar, put him in front of him, stared at his eyes fiercely, and said, Tell you, there are no cowards and no heroes on the battlefield, only to save yourself, kill the enemy, the life of the soldiers is used to fight the enemy, not for you to be a hero."

As he spoke, he pushed him down in the muddy water, ignoring the eyes of the Tianshi soldiers, and with Zhao Shuixin, they walked towards the high ground. Walking one at a time,

I'm scared for a mile, if the shot just now really kills that itch, what kind of punishment will the shark receive, and now the feeling is to kill and be numb to a fire. On impulse, he will pull out a gun and kill people, although in the future

Thinking that he had unconsciously come to the foot of the mountain, he lay down on the trench not far behind the anti-tank trench, set up his rifle, and looked forward through the scope, and saw a group of American troops wearing raincoats, under the cover of more than a dozen tanks, walking towards our position. Eight of the seven flying in the front row were Sherman tanks that had been converted into forklifts, and a few dragged rutted bridges, followed by a large number of Xia Fei and Sherman, plus five Pershings.

The lineup of the 1st Marine Division of the US Army was really extraordinary, and more than a dozen tanks were dispatched at once. It is said that this unit performed many battles in World War II, making it the longest in the U.S. Marine Corps. One of the trump cards that participated in the most battles was "known as the sword of America", and some people say that in World War II, the results of this division alone in the Pacific completely surpassed the entire record of the Anti-Japanese War of China and the Eighth Road.

However, I think this is really an exaggeration, because not long after the start of the Korean War, the Volunteer Army completely annihilated the polar bear regiment in Changjin Lake, and even captured its regimental flag. The Polar Bear Regiment is a reinforced regiment of the 1st Marine Division of the United States, and its actual strength is close to that of a division of the Volunteer Army. If this U.S. army is really that strong, then how can it become untempered under the volunteers.

However, they had gone through the flames of World War II and seemed to be very experienced in dealing with anti-tank trenches. And they don't seem to pay attention to such grotesque anti-tank trenches built by volunteer soldiers. No, they brought out so many tanks in one 'sex', and it was clear that they were going to use Sherman to quickly bulldoze anti-tank trenches or erect steel bridges, and then let the battle tanks in the rear rush up.

Perhaps they thought that the volunteer soldiers had little experience in anti-tank warfare, so they did not pay attention to this inconspicuous anti-tank trench. It's just that what they didn't expect was that this kind of anti-tank trench made modern new tanks eat Dawan's trench more than 20 years later.

With a dense burst of gunfire, American machine guns and artillery opened fire on our positions, and the tanks and infantry divided into two teams to suppress the fire on the high ground on both sides of the tank trench, and sent a small group of American troops to launch a tentative 'sexual' attack on the high ground. However, it was very difficult to capture a high ground in this rainy day, and although the soldiers of the Fourth Division had no experience in fighting the US troops, their combat effectiveness was not weak, and it was not difficult to fight under the conditions of occupying the right time and place, and they quickly defeated the two US charges.

And right in front of us, a dozen engineering trucks converted by Sherman were busy.

First of all, the difficulty they encountered was that the Sherman tanks with forklifts found themselves with nothing to do, because when they tried to fill the trenches by bulldozing and burying them, they found that the soil was all on the other side of the anti-tank trenches, and they had no soil to use. If they wanted to use dirt, they had to drive their tanks to the bottom of the hill to shovel dirt.

This is obviously very dangerous, because the explosives or grenades of the volunteers could be dropped on their shovel areas.

So they had to use the bridge-building tanks to build rutted bridges over the anti-tank trenches. The rutted bridge was actually two steel plates with wheels that were lifted on the Sherman tank. The bow drawing equipment erected them on the trench according to the distance between the tank tracks, one left and one right, so that the tank could drive along the two steel plates through the trench.

But when they finished erecting it, they found that the bridge was high at one end and low at the other. Moreover, the high end is erected on soft soil, which makes the steel bridge very unstable.

Deputy Battalion Commander Cui: "Zhao Shuixin whispered beside me, "The enemy has built a bridge, should we go up." ”

Wait," I replied.

At this time, the enemy finally mustered up the courage to send a Xia Fei tank and slowly drove onto the rutted bridge, although the Xia Fei was a light tank, but it also weighed eighteen tons, and only drove a short rut, and the soft soil at the other end was pressed down, and then after a while, the tanker finally mustered up the courage again to drive the tank forward, and the rut sank deeper and deeper, and because the density of the soil was different, the depth of the two sections of soil subsidence was also different, and the tank slowly tilted to the side, only to be so shocked that the tank observation hand on the outside was 'exposed' and shouted downward, Go back, go back."

But it was already too late, and the whole tank flipped over and fell into a deep trench just by hearing a bang. It's really bitter, then this tanker, this eighteen-ton tank is pressed on the body, but I'm afraid it's not light

The Yankees were not lazy, and jumped ten infantry to rescue the tankmen in the tank, but with the roar of two mines, only two of the dozen infantry finally crawled out with their faces covered in pitch black, and then no one dared to jump down.

Then, the American tank turned around a few times in front of the anti-tank trench, and perhaps could not find a better way to cross it, so it had to retreat helplessly.

What. I just moved out. Huzi looked in disbelief at the U.S. troops who were moving back like a 'tide', and he was still dragging an anti-tank grenade in his hand, and he was about to do a big job

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, even when the Syrian army faced it more than 20 years later, there was no way to defend such tank trenches, and it was impossible to attack for four days, and hundreds of tanks were lost, not to mention the current American army.
