The Tank Wing is the basic unit of the Japanese Army's tank unit, which began to be formed in August 1933, and was organized into the 1st and 2nd Tank Wing by the 1st Tank Fleet and the Chiba Infantry School Combat Fleet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The 1st Tank Wing of the Japanese Army was 1,100 men, with 68 tanks, three squadrons of medium tanks, one squadron of light tanks, one squadron of self-propelled guns, and one squadron of repairs.

The tank squadron generally has 3 squads, each squad has 3 tanks, 3 medium tanks and 3 light tanks in the squadron department, and now the medium tanks commonly equipped with Japanese tanks are Type 97 medium tanks, and the light tanks are Type 94 ultra-light tanks, which is commonly known as the Douding tank.

With the order of Lieutenant General Kiyotaro Uemura, the first wing of the Japanese tank suddenly turned on the headlights, the motor roared, rolled up a large cloud of smoke and dust, and advanced at full speed towards the position of the Eighth Route Army, launching an attack!

Wing Commander Goro Inamoto of the First Wing of the Combat Vehicle was trained by the German armored forces, and he was still very good at studying the tactics of the combat vehicles, he did not use the T-shaped tank formation that was more common in the Japanese army, but used the wedge formation, which was one of the main attack formations of the German armored forces, and its core was to use heavy tanks with thick armor to open the way in front, and the medium and light tanks were behind the palace, and when they encountered the enemy, the heavy tanks stopped and fired and attracted firepower, and the medium and light tanks charged to strike at the enemy.

The wedge is an effective attack formation, but the tip of the wedge must not be attacked by mines or other attacks that will break the tracks, otherwise it will be easily broken by each one.

The 1st Wing of Japanese Tanks was not equipped with heavy tanks, and perhaps in their eyes, the use of light and medium tanks against the Chinese army was enough.

The wedge formation adopted by Goro Inamoto was to open the way with the Type 97 medium tank squadron in front, and the other two medium tank squadrons followed in left and right directions, followed by the light tank squadron at the rear.

His intention was very clear, that is, the Type 97 medium tank with the front as the arrow was responsible for chiseling through and breaking through a point of center, and the tank squadron behind was responsible for sweeping the tail and expanding the sweeping area.

As the chariots continued to approach the instructor's position, the battle soon began, and the 1,000 cannons of the instructor's artillery brigade soon divided into two camps, one of the cannons continued to suppress the devil's field artillery brigade, and the other part of the artillery shifted direction and continued to bombard the chariots that the Japanese assaulted on.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

In the dark night, all the devil's chariots turned on the headlights, making the devil's chariot unit like a morning star in the night sky, very easy to aim, more than 500 artillery guns of the artillery brigade continued to concentrate on the attack, and the shells smashed on the Type 97 tank as a ring, but because the artillery of the artillery brigade was not an anti-tank gun specializing in tanks, the penetration was insufficient, and the Type 97 medium tank of the devil was not destroyed at the first time.

Fortunately, the armor thickness of the devil tanks was generally extremely poor, and after the dense shells were dumped, several Type 97 tanks were blown up one after another, unable to move.

However, under the desperate assault of the chariot wing, the Japanese chariots soon rushed to the front of the instructor's position, and many of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the defense line were still new recruits.

The artillery units of the brigades were in place one after another, and the anti-tank guns were immediately installed, and the Soviet aid to the instructor was a 45-mm anti-tank gun, which penetrated the armor of the Japanese tank.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

As the anti-tank gun fired, a 45 mm armor-piercing projectile pierced through layers of air resistance and accurately hit the frontal armor of a Type 97 medium tank.

"Boom!"

The frontal armor of the Japanese Type 97 tank was only 25 mm thick, and it could not block the penetration of 45 mm armor-piercing shells at all.

At the same time, the Moutai Molotov cocktails produced by the Yulin Arsenal also came in handy, under the cover of mortar fire, more than a dozen soldiers stood up at the same time, and with a wave of their hands, they threw out more than a dozen Molotov cocktails, and three Japanese tanks were hit by Molotov cocktails, and in an instant they were blazing.

Seeing that the anti-tank gun and Moutai incendiary bottle had made meritorious contributions, the soldiers immediately cheered, and when the tank assaulted, the soldiers were still very worried, and they did not know whether the anti-tank gun and Moutai incendiary bottle obtained by the division commander would be effective against the Japanese tanks, but the results proved that what the division commander said was all right, and under the attack of the anti-tank gun and Molotov cocktail, the Japanese tanks were destroyed one after another.

Seeing that in just a few minutes, the anti-tank guns and Molotov cocktails of the Eighth Route Army had killed more than ten Japanese tanks, and he couldn't help but be furious, and ordered the tanks to concentrate their firepower and give priority to destroying the instructor's anti-tank gun fire point.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

At close range, the 57-mm tank guns of the Type 97 tank were very powerful, and the two anti-tank artillery positions that the instructor hastily set up were quickly swallowed up by the fire of the Japanese tanks, and more than a dozen artillery members were killed on the spot.

Seeing that the instructor's anti-tank guns could not withstand the fire of the Japanese tanks, the anti-aircraft artillery unit that Zhang Cheng explained was dispatched, because the anti-aircraft artillery flat-firing required a certain amount of artillery firing technology, in a hurry, the instructor could not find a gunner who could manipulate the anti-aircraft gun flat-fire, but fortunately, the instructor also had a special operations brigade that could not do everything except for giving birth to children.

In May 1940, the 7th Tank Division commanded by Rommel advanced at high speed from Belgian territory to Dunkirk, encountering a counterattack by a British army on the way. In the face of the heavy tanks of the British army, the German 37-mm anti-tank guns were helpless.

At the critical moment, the 88mm anti-aircraft guns of an anti-aircraft artillery company lowered the muzzle and opened fire on the British troops, destroying nine British tanks in the blink of an eye, forcing the British to retreat. This battle left a deep impression on Rommel. Since then, the 88-mm anti-aircraft gun has become a handy anti-tank trump card for him.

In view of the fact that the Eighth Route Army had no armored units before, Zhang Cheng had already brought in some antiaircraft guns to teach the members of the special operations brigade the techniques of flat-firing tanks with anti-aircraft guns, just to deal with the tank units of the Japanese army.

The batch of anti-aircraft guns that the Soviet Union aided to the instructor were 85 mm caliber, which was not much different from the 88 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns of the German army.

When the devil's tanks were marching forward, the anti-aircraft guns of the special operations group had already locked on them, and then immediately opened fire, and in an instant, the anti-aircraft shells swooped down on the devil's tank.

"Boom ......"

A series of explosions suddenly sounded from many tanks of the devil, and several tanks that were hit quickly lay on their stomachs.
