Chapter 295: The Tiger Enters the Flock
The two tank wings of the 1st Brigade of the Little Japanese Tank Regiment were at the head, and the motorized infantry wing was behind, and a huge group of tanks rolled in.
One tank and 80 tanks and armored vehicles of one tank company combined, in addition to 20 or 30 wheeled armored vehicles, and more than 300 combat vehicles of various types in the two tank wings, although there were certain losses in breaking through the anti-tank minefields of the new 6th Army, the losses of dozens of combat vehicles did not cause fundamental damage.
There are more than 3,000 motorized infantry wings, more than 100 tracked armored vehicles, and 70 to 80 wheeled armored vehicles, and the scale is also very large. With such a huge scale, there is no unit in China that can compete, in the entire North China, the 1st Brigade of Small Japanese Tanks has hardly encountered opponents, and every time it has swept the national army.
With so many tanks, driving violently, they didn't notice the tank regiment and battalion hidden in front of them.
More than 40 tanks of the first battalion aimed at the group of little devil chariots driving in front of them, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
1,000 meters, 800 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters
The 88-millimeter cannon of the Tiger tank was extremely powerful, and I saw the muzzle fire of the tanks flashing, and suddenly, the tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils were destroyed.
"Boom, boom, boom"
A small Japanese Type 92 light tank on the march was hit by a cannon in the turret, and with a loud bang, the turret of the tank was directly torn off and fell more than ten meters away.
"Cool, the little devil takes off his hat and salutes us!" Finish firing a shot. Successfully hitting the target, the fighter who fired the cannon shouted happily from inside his tank.
A small Japanese armored car was hit in the front by a shell, suddenly. Beaten to shreds and in a mess on the front, the armored car was in a pile of scrap metal.
At least 20 or so tanks and armored vehicles of the little Japanese were destroyed at the first time, and the soldiers launched their tanks one after another after firing a shot and met them head-on.
Whether it's a King Tiger tank. The Tiger tank is still very powerful, and these armored vehicles and tanks of small Japan are basically one cannon at a time, and some tanks and armored vehicles are hit by two or three shells almost at the same time. It was beaten into a pile of wreckage.
The Tiger tank was equipped with an 88 mm tank gun, one of the most lethal tank guns of World War II. The ZEISS TFZ9b sight is amazingly accurate. At the time of one test firing. The tank opened fire at a distance of 1200 yards. And 5 shots in a row landed on a 16-inch × 18-inch target.
In addition to the amazing precision, the power is even more amazing. At a distance of 800 meters, it could easily penetrate 100 mm of armor, and none of these light tanks of small Japan could withstand a shot from a Tiger tank.
The sudden shelling startled little Japan, but soon the little devil found that the number of these Chinese tanks ambushed by him was too small, only a few dozen, and there was not a fraction of his own.
Seeing that their numbers are overwhelmingly dominant. Although the ferocious firepower of these tanks just now frightened many little devils, but. More imps rushed up in their chariots and began to fire back.
Suddenly, a large-scale tank battle began.
The number of chariots of the little devils is too much, and these dozens of tanks of the first battalion were shot one after another, either by the large-caliber machine guns on the small Japanese armored vehicles, or by the 37-mm guns of the tanks, and the tanks equipped by the first brigade of the combat vehicles of the North China Front of the small Japanese are basically mainly 37 mm caliber, and the main gun caliber of a few tanks has reached 45 mm caliber.
The armor of the Tiger tank is 102 mm thick in front of the hull, and the gun shield armor in front of the turret is 135~150 mm thick. Compared with cast steel, cold-rolled forged steel has much higher strength characteristics, so the protection of the Tiger tank is very good.
In the Second World War of the Second Century, a Tiger tank withstood a total of 227 rounds of anti-tank rifle rounds, 14 rounds of 45 mm armor-piercing rounds, and 11 rounds of 76 mm armor-piercing rounds, and the tracks, axles, and suspension systems were seriously damaged, but the crew was unscathed, and after the battle, it drove 60 kilometers back to the rear for repairs.
The protection capability of the Tiger tank is so good, and the protection ability of the King Tiger tank is even stronger.
A small Japanese tank, aiming at a Tiger tank less than 100 meters in front is a cannon, using a 37 mm high-explosive shell, seeing that it successfully hit the target, the little devil cannon was overjoyed, but soon found out that it was too early to be happy.
The Chinese tank that was shot was not damaged at all, and even ignored itself, and was still firing at an armored car not far away, and killed an armored car directly with one shot.
Seeing that the tank was ignoring him, the devil gunner immediately switched to 37-mm armor-piercing shells, and with another shot, he still succeeded in hitting the target, but he still left nothing, and it seemed that the pits were not obvious, far from destroying the tank.
When the little devil gunner did not believe in evil and was about to fire another shot, the devil gunner found that the Chinese tank had turned its muzzle and aimed at himself.
Looking at the thick muzzle of this Chinese tank, the little devil gunner's heart trembled, and then he saw that this Chinese cannon had fired, and there was a loud "boom", and the devil gunner didn't know anything, as if he had turned into dust.
A shell accurately hit this small Japanese tank, punching this tank with a large hole, and thick smoke billowed out, this tank was obviously scrapped, and there was no need for a second gun against these tanks and armored vehicles of small Japan.
The cannon roared ahead, and the commander of the Devil Brigade, Akira Hirata, also heard it, and immediately ordered to stop, took the binoculars, and walked out of the armored car accompanied by several Devil officers, holding binoculars and looking at the battle ahead.
Seeing that his tank group was fighting with Chinese tanks, the number of Chinese tanks was very small, only a few dozens, and a large number of his own tanks and armored vehicles surrounded these dozens of Chinese tanks, Hirata Zhang's face was happy.
However, soon there was no joy anymore, and his face gradually became difficult to look at, and Hirata saw that there were destroyed tanks and armored vehicles on the ground, although these tanks and armored vehicles were basically unrecognizable, but Hirata Akira could still recognize the wreckage formed after his own tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed.
In addition, after a little look, Akira Hirata found that these Chinese tanks seemed to be a tiger entering a flock of sheep, firing at their own tanks one by one, and their own tanks seemed to be tickling as if they were tickling.
"Yaga! What kind of tank is this? ”
Several devil officers next to him also looked at the tank battle in front of them with binoculars, and saw that their tanks were at a complete disadvantage, and the faces of these devil officers gradually became ugly, and in addition, no one knew what model these Chinese tanks were.
These little devils can only judge based on common sense that these Chinese tanks should be heavy tanks, several times larger than their own tanks in terms of size.
On the battlefield ahead, there was a complete fierce battle, no, it should be said that it was a massacre.
More than forty tanks of the first battalion launched a massacre of small Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, and these more than forty tanks seemed to have no scruples, fought freely, and rushed into the depth of the small devil tank group.
Not far from Hirata's position, a King Tiger tank rushed over, and this King Tiger tank was surrounded by at least seven or eight tanks of the little Japanese, in addition, there were three or four small Japanese armored vehicles on the periphery a little farther away from the Tiger tank, constantly firing at the King Tiger tank with large-caliber machine guns.
"Boom, boom, boom"
These seven or eight Little Japanese tanks were constantly shelled around this King Tiger tank, and this King Tiger tank was constantly being hit by the Little Japanese tanks, whether it was frontal, sideways, or even back.
Outwardly, this King Tiger tank seems to be at a disadvantage, however, if you pay attention for a while, you will see that this tank has the upper hand.
This King Tiger tank, under the blow of a small Japanese tank, aimed at a tank not far away is a cannon, and with a "boom", the upper half of the tank was directly lifted off, leaving only a smoking chassis on the ground.
After firing this gun, he slowly turned the turret, and the thick muzzle was aimed at another small Japanese tank, which was also a cannon, and the tank was directly beaten into scrap metal.
One cannon after another, the small Japanese tanks around them decreased one by one, and there were more and more piles of scrap metal on the ground.
Five minutes later, the remaining two or three tanks finally realized that something was wrong and that they could not destroy the tank, so they began to reverse and prepare to escape.
With a "boom", this King Tiger tank killed a small Japanese tank with one shot, the shell was loaded, and it began to aim at another tank, or a gun, and directly killed this tank.
Seeing that there was a small Japanese tank around him, only twenty or thirty meters away from him, this King Tiger tank increased its horsepower and rushed over, and the small Japanese tank, which was reversing, was directly crushed into a discus.
The small Japanese tank, which weighed only seven or eight tons, had almost no suspense in the face of the King Tiger tank weighing 70 tons, just like pressing an iron can, which was directly flattened.
The commander of the Devil Brigade, Hirata Zhang, is not far from here, only a few hundred meters, and the scene just now happened to be clearly seen through the binoculars, seeing such a strong performance of this Tiger King tank, Hirata Zhang's face turned a little pale.
Just when Hirata's face turned pale and he was a little frightened, a small Japanese officer next to him shouted: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, look over there, the tank group of the Chinese army!" ”
At this time, the tanks of the second and third battalions came from both sides, and the two battalions were also very strong, like tigers and sheep, and wherever they passed, the chariots of the little devils could not resist at all. (To be continued......)
