Hongo Tenggong began to rest the butt of his Type 91 light machine gun on his shoulder, and he looked outside, waiting for the tank to enter the village.

The Type 89 tank drove slowly on the rough road, and the two tanks were driving behind.

"Captain, something seems to be wrong ahead." At this time, a Japanese soldier shouted loudly.

Upon hearing the shouts of the Japanese soldiers, Hongo Tengko immediately put down his light machine gun, and he held a telescope and looked outside through the observation hole.

I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THE JAPANESE SOLDIERS ARE STILL VERY VIGILANT, AND AT THIS TIME, THE THREE GERMAN-MADE 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS THAT SUN WEIGUO REGARDED AS TREASURES HAVE BEGUN TO BE DEPLOYED IN THE GRASS BESIDE THE ROAD.

THE OFFICIAL NAME OF THE GERMAN-MADE 37MM ANTI-TANK GUN IS THE 37MM TANK DEFENSE GUN, AND THE TANKS OF THIS ERA ARE CALLED COMBAT VEHICLES.

For the Germans, this anti-tank gun was a very failed weapon, because in future wars, this anti-tank gun could not pose any threat to the tanks of European and American powers, and in the eyes of the Germans, it was a failed weapon.

However, this anti-tank gun, which the Germans will dislike in the future, will become the treasure of every Chinese commander when it arrives in China, because this anti-tank gun is a very good anti-tank weapon against Japanese tanks.

The thickness of the armor of the Japanese tanks was very thin, and in the eyes of the generals of Germany and other powerful countries, the Japanese tanks were nothing more than children's toys.

However, on the Chinese battlefield, the Chinese troops lacked effective anti-tank weapons, which made the Japanese tanks extremely arrogant, and the Chinese troops wanted to destroy the Japanese tanks, and they had to fill it with human lives.

A HUNDRED METERS IN FRONT OF THE THREE 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, A MAN IN THE GRAY UNIFORM OF THE EIGHTH ROUTE ARMY WAS LYING ON THE GROUND, AND HE WAS HOLDING A TELESCOPE TOWARDS THE JAPANESE TANK.

This man is Ma Xuepeng, the platoon commander of the anti-tank artillery platoon, he was picked up by Sun Weiguo on the way from the new second brigade to Mengxian in the northwest of Shanxi.

Originally, Ma Xuepeng was arranged by Sun Weiguo to be an infantry in the first regiment, but during an armored battalion training, Ma Xuepeng saw a 37MM anti-tank gun, and after seeing these three anti-tank guns, Ma Xuepeng's eyes became red, as if he had seen countless treasures.

Later, Sun Weiguo learned that Ma Xuepeng had been the deputy platoon commander of the anti-tank artillery platoon in the Central Army, and he had been familiar with this anti-tank gun for two years.

The armored battalion in the new second brigade is a treasure, and it is not tanks and armored vehicles that become the treasure of the armored battalion, but these three 37MM anti-tank guns.

"One gun, target Japanese Type 89 tank, direction at twelve o'clock, at a distance of four hundred and fifty meters, loaded with armor-piercing shells."

"Two guns, targeting Japanese Type 89 tanks, at nine o'clock in the direction and at a distance of five hundred and ten meters, loaded with armor-piercing shells."

"Three guns, targeting Japanese Type 89 tanks, at one o'clock in the direction and at a distance of four hundred and twenty meters, loaded with armor-piercing shells."

When the three tanks of the Japanese army came to Zhaojiayu Village with great force, Ma Xuepeng immediately began to give orders.

The three anti-tank guns began to adjust the angle, and then the squad leaders immediately repeated Ma Xuepeng's order loudly, and the artillerymen quickly loaded the armor-piercing shells.

"One door." "The second door is good." "Three doors are good."

The three squad leaders immediately reported loudly, and they looked at Ma Xuepeng in front.

Ma Xuepeng was holding a red flag in his right hand, and after hearing the report of the three squad leaders, Ma Xuepeng immediately shouted: "Launch." ”

At the same time as the launch was shouted, the red flag immediately waved and fell.

"All of them!" Three anti-tank guns began firing, and three armor-piercing shells were fired.

THE GERMAN-MADE 37MM ANTI-TANK GUN WAS FIRST PRODUCED IN 1934, AND THE GERMANS WERE VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS ANTI-TANK GUN IN THE EARLY DAYS, BUT IN THE END, THEY FOUND THAT THIS ANTI-TANK GUN COULD NOT POSE A THREAT TO THE ENEMY'S TANKS AT ALL.

IN FACT, THE GERMAN-MADE 37MM ANTI-TANK GUN IS STILL ABLE TO PENETRATE A 40MM THICK STEEL PLATE AT A DISTANCE OF 500 METERS, BUT THE TANKS OF THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES, THE ARMOR THICKNESS IS NOT ONLY 40MM, SUCH A LEVEL OF TANK, THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES CAN ONLY BE REGARDED AS LIGHT TANKS.

BUT 40MM ARMOR THICKNESS, FOR THE JAPANESE ARMY, CAN BE REGARDED AS A HEAVY TANK, THE JAPANESE ARMY CALLED THE MEDIUM TANK OF THE EIGHT OR NINE TANKS, THE MAXIMUM FRONTAL ARMOR THICKNESS IS ONLY 17MM, SUCH AN ARMOR THICKNESS FOR 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, IT IS SIMPLY LIKE TOFU SLAG.

Three armor-piercing shells quickly attacked the Japanese tank, and Hongo Tenggong realized that the situation was not good, and he immediately ordered the tank to quickly retreat.

The Type 89 tank immediately retreated, and an armor-piercing bullet hit directly in front of Hongo's tank, and then burrowed into the mound of dirt on the side.

But the other two tanks did not have such good luck, a Type 89 tank was hit sideways by an armor-piercing shell, a black hole appeared in the side armor of this tank, and the armor-piercing shell directly detonated the ammunition inside the tank, and the tank immediately began to produce a loud explosion, and the flames began to burn.

The turret of another tank was hit, and the armor-piercing shells directly overturned the turret, and the armor in this tank was also hit by shrapnel and died directly.

The two squadrons of infantry, which followed behind the tanks, immediately lay on the ground, and the light machine guns and grenadiers began to assume something.

It was deduced that the artillery of the Chinese troops was deployed on the flank, and eighteen crooked light machine guns immediately began to attack the left, and bullets rained down on the anti-tank guns.

Some bullets hit the shields of the anti-tank guns and clanged, and the artillerymen immediately went into hiding.

At this time, the heavy machine gun company of the 4th Battalion of the Special Service Battalion, which was deployed on the side, began to open fire.

The establishment of the special service battalion and the guard battalion is somewhat peculiar, but this is done deliberately by Sun Weiguo, in fact, the two machine gun platoons of the special service battalion and an artillery company of the guard battalion belong to the brigade headquarters support unit.

The 4th Battalion of the Special Service Battalion is a heavy machine gun company, which has five Makqin heavy machine guns and five Type 92 heavy machine guns.

Wang Tieniu also knew that the three anti-tank guns were the treasures of the brigade commander Sun Weiguo, and he deployed the heavy machine gun company on both sides of the anti-tank gun platoon.

When the Japanese light machine guns began to shoot, Dai Yuxuan, the company commander of the heavy machine gun company, immediately began to give the order to shoot.

Ten heavy machine guns began to fire, and bullets were fired at the Japanese light machine guns.

"Da-da-da-da."

Bullets were fired at the Japanese shooters, and more than a dozen Japanese shooters were killed on the spot, while the Japanese infantry were also killed and wounded more than 30 people.

At this time, Hongo's tank was still continuing to retreat, he knew that once his tank stopped, it was very likely to be destroyed, and Hongo Tenggong knew that there were gunshots here, and the main force of the armored detachment behind would definitely be quickly reinforced.
