Wei Qidong naturally knew that the German No. 1 and No. 2 tanks were somewhat backward, so he strongly demanded that the Germans provide their No. 3 tanks. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Germany's No. 3 tank has been continuously improved in recent years, so it has not yet been fully finalized and mass-produced, but Wei Qidong needs to equip the Chinese army with more advanced tanks as soon as possible.

Wei Qidong gave the Germans some suggestions for improvement, and this model of tank would soon become obsolete, but asked the Germans to first mass-produce as many Type 3C as possible for the Chinese army according to his requirements.

This improved No. 3 tank, with a total weight of 22 tons, armor up to 70 mm thick, two main weapons on board, one is a 37 mm gun, the other is a 50 mm gun as required by Wei Qidong, plus two 7.92 mm machine guns, and a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.

Judging from this comprehensive performance, the improved No. 3 tank is much better than several tanks of the Japanese army, and the Chinese army is equipped with a total of about 120 tanks, which is the result of Germany's intensified production.

After knowing that the Japanese armored group was going to come to support, Wei Qidong immediately called on the armored division, and tried to concentrate the No. 3 tank of the two armored divisions as much as possible.

It can be said that without Wei Qidong, the armored division of the Chinese army would not have been able to be formed at all, and some of Wei Qidong's tactical qualities have also been recognized by many people, so his opinions will be taken very seriously by all generals.

Therefore, the Japanese army did not know at all that the Chinese army needed to transfer an armored division, but the tanks were integrated, and the No. 3 tanks of the two armored divisions were almost all transferred together.

But just as the armored clusters of the two sides were about to collide together, suddenly, the sound of "pooo" appeared in the sky above, and then a plane familiar to the Japanese army appeared.

"Wei Qidong, Tang Xinyi......" The Japanese commander sitting on the tank turret was startled.

Yes, during the counteroffensive of the Chinese army for a while, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi never appeared on the battlefield, and the Japanese base camp knew that the two of them had taken the time to lay mines in their Japanese ports for a while, but they did not expect that the two rushed back to support the armored operations of the Chinese army at this critical moment.

"Knock him down, knock him down......" Some Japanese commanders ordered in horror, it seemed that Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi had caused a big shadow in their hearts.

Apache flew directly and blatantly over the Japanese armored cluster, as if he was deliberately telling them that I flew behind you.

The speed of the plane, naturally, is not comparable to the tank, not to mention the tank at this time, the Japanese only saw the Apache flying over their heads, and the machine guns had not had time to be set up.

"Whoosh ......" circled around the Apache behind the Japanese armored cluster, and without saying a word, began to fire rockets.

Because it was a low-altitude strike, the hit rate was very high, and the Japanese tanks exploded directly like matchboxes.......

At this time, the armor of the Chinese army was speeding up and rushing towards the Japanese armored cluster, which suddenly made the Japanese army feel that they seemed to have changed from attacking to being flanked at once, which was simply cheating.

The Japanese army was already good at armored cluster operations, and at this time, as soon as Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi stirred up, the formation of the entire armored cluster was a lot chaotic, but the armor of the Chinese army was in good order.

The No. 3 tank of the Chinese army, which approached after the "boom boom boom ......", was the first to attack, and they calmly aimed at the Japanese tanks that were like a man on their backs and bombarded them frantically, and no less than 10 Japanese tanks were blown up on the spot.

Not to be outdone, the Japanese army was immediately aroused to be ferocious, and began to charge desperately, they seemed to regard armored combat as hand-to-hand combat, and wanted to fight closer, on the one hand, to improve the hit rate, on the other hand, to show their bravery.

However, the Japanese army does not seem to know very well, and armored group operations require more attention to various tactics.

Tank No. 3 had a relatively complete radio communication system, so it was easy to give orders, and the whole armored division began to move. Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi in the sky were more able to see the formations of the two sides below, and Wei Qidong reported the movements of the Japanese armored group to General Dai Anlan, the commander of the armored division of the Chinese army below, through radio from time to time.

Originally, Dai Anlan took over as the commander of an armored division, and his qualifications were somewhat insufficient, but Wei Qidong thought that General Dai was more in line with the times in terms of tactical thinking and was a rare mechanized theoretical material, so he was forcefully pushed to the position of commander of an armored division.

And the facts have also proved that during this period of time, General Dai and Du Yuming's other armored division, the two armored divisions cooperated, like a horn, and quickly advanced all the way from Hebei to Tianjin, and achieved quite outstanding military achievements. It not only proves General Dai Anlan's ability, but also proves Wei Qidong's vision.

After receiving Wei Qidong's report on the Japanese armored formation, General Dai immediately adjusted his tactics and assigned tasks to several armored regiments, and his tactical purpose was very simple, to disrupt the formation of the Japanese armored group by means of movement, and then mobilize superior armor and then divide and surround the small group of targets separated from the main Japanese armored force, and eat the enemy armored group bite by bite.

In this way, they can not only give full play to their own advantages, but also reduce their own casualties, at least delay a little longer, which is a good thing for the Chinese side, and it will be more beneficial to the Chinese army if it is delayed until dawn, because the air force can enter the war at any time.

Because armor coordination is more difficult than infantry formation units, and the Japanese army's armored units, except for the 97 type, do not have an effective communication system, so many times need to rely on flag language or manpower communication, more, each tank is its own fight, and has not thought of cooperating with other tanks.

Finally, a small group of nearly 30 tanks was disconnected from the large Japanese army, and the two sides were separated by a distance of seven or eight hundred meters. Under Wei Qidong's instructions, General Dai immediately sent an armored regiment to penetrate straight from the junction where the Japanese army had detached, and one by one cut off this Japanese armor from most of them, and then quickly surrounded it.

After surrounding these dozens of Japanese tanks, General Dai quickly ordered the encirclement and annihilation, and when he received a distress call from the dozens of tanks surrounded, the main armored force of the Japanese army began to move in this direction to support.

General Dai naturally didn't want to be disturbed at this time, and immediately ordered the remaining armor to be contained, and Tang Xinyi also drove the Apache to support, Wei Qidong launched rockets downward, and one Apache was afraid that it could top dozens of armor, and it was the kind that acted very quickly.

To deal with the Japanese Type 94 tank, Wei Qidong directly used a chain gun, and sometimes used a chain gun to deal with the Type 95, because the attack power of the Apache chain gun was also very strong, hitting some vital parts, and the thin-skinned tank of the Type 95 could not bear it. When dealing with Type 89 and Type 97, it is generally solved with rockets.
