Chapter 147, Tank Battle

Street fighting is not very good for tanks, there are too many obstacles for tanks in street fighting compared to the plains, and the enemy is elusive.

However, quantity can change quality, and hundreds of tanks and thousands of infantry followed behind made Anqing declare "falling" in less than an hour.

There are still some small shrimps left in the city to resist stubbornly, and the army of the 250th Division has entered Anqing, and then as long as the strong counterattack of the Japanese army is blocked, then Anqing can be firmly pinched in his hands.

The 41st Group Army suddenly made a move against Anqing, but it frightened the Japanese army and also shocked the bald heads. He didn't expect Lu Qiang to suddenly make a move on An Qing, and he was so sharp.

With the combat strength of his army, it is only a matter of time before Anqing is recovered, so he has to make some ideas on this and inspire the people's determination to resist the war. But on the other hand, he didn't want Lu Qiang to win, so that the Japanese army could defeat him well, so as not to be arrogant and not even take him Jiang in his eyes. Therefore, as soon as he heard the news of Lu Qiang's attack on Anqing, his eyes flashed, and he was very conflicted in his heart.

Anqing can be said to have been recovered, but the bald head has not yet received news. However, it cannot be said that it was completely recovered, because it was necessary to block the Japanese army's sworn counterattack and deal with the endless reinforcements of the Japanese army from all over the country, which is estimated to take a while to complete.

But it's not absolute, maybe the bombing plan made Japan change its mind and sit down and negotiate? But on the contrary, it will also make the Japanese army fight to the death.

"How's Anqing?" Lu Qiang sat in the office, staring at the large map in front of him, and casually asked the person next to him.

"The news just came that Anqing has been taken, and now it is ready to block the Japanese army that comes to help." The man next to him said.

"Well, I know, you tell Zhang Zhongliang that if there is nothing big, you have to report it every half an hour." Lu Qiang said.

"Yes!" The person left in response.

The Japanese army gathered more than a hundred tanks, sounded the sound of engines, and rushed towards Anqing.

Perhaps due to the influence of Lu Qiang's always using tanks to push together, this time, the Japanese army did not use infantry to cooperate, but all used tanks and rushed up together, as if they wanted to have a tank battle with the 250th Division.

For such a request from the Japanese army, Zhang Zhongliang of course had to meet them, and at the same time to try how the Type 59 tank was, in the past, he had only seen it on the training ground, and now he could finally see a big battle between tanks.

The assembled 59 tanks, under the order of Zhang Zhongliang, pressed against the broken city wall and drove out head-on to the Japanese tanks.

It can be said that the biggest tank battle after the First World War took place here.

Let's take a look at the players who took part in the battle:

The Japanese are: Type 94 light tank, Type 95 heavy tank, Type 97 medium tank, Type 97 medium tank, Type 98 light tank, as well as the latest research and development of an advanced version of the Type 99 tank and some unknown tank that looks like it should be a heavy tank, the tracks are pressed with mud, there is no formation, rushing towards Anqing,.

Look at the tanks of the 250th Division: all Type 59 medium tanks, with 100mm barrels pointing straight at the Japanese tanks. 62 did not go to war.

The Japanese tank, the Type 98 light tank at the front, weighed only a little 7.2 tons, but the speed was okay, and it could run to 50 yards at full speed, which was 10 yards faster than the 94 Douding.

This tank, which was originally mass-produced in 1942, is now being forced to be mass-produced now.

The 37mm short-barreled cannon "tom" sounded, and a shell lightly hit the oncoming 59, but the result was that I didn't know where to go.

"Tom tom tom ~ " Ninety-eight light battle after someone started, they opened fire one after another. A large wave of shells flew towards 59.

However, these shells, which are not even tickling, did not bring any damage to 59, and 100 mm of inclined armor, equivalent to almost 200mm, is not a large caliber at all.

The 37mm armor-piercing bullet did not serve any purpose except for leaving a white dot-like mark on the 59.

Ninety-eight opened fire in a light battle, and 59 was naturally not to be left behind, and the barrel pointed straight at the ninety-eight light battle, and then fired.

For these thin-skinned tanks, 59mm grenades for 100 were also enough, and with armor-piercing shells was completely redundant.

"Boom, boom~" The sound of the 100mm cannon breaking is not comparable to the tom sound that can almost be ignored by the 37mm gun. The shells instantly crossed the distance between the two sides and landed in the 98th tank group.

Explosion, keep thinking that the thin armor of the Type 98 can not withstand the bombardment of a 100mm gun, and its thickest armor is only 16mm thick, and if it is used to shell and armor-piercing shells, it can even be pierced with one shot.

The Type 98 tank, which was not much bigger than Douding, was devastating at the beginning, and there was no one in ten in an instant, and in this regard, the Japanese tank crews who followed behind were also frightened one by one, but they still had to arch forward, even if the arch did not move, they had to arch.

The tanks in front of the 94 Douding room, which was behind the 98 light battle, were easily destroyed by the opponent's tanks, and they were shocked, and they immediately panicked, and they didn't rush forward, but drove to both sides.

The crew of the 59 tank did not understand why the Japanese army had changed suddenly, but this did not prevent them from collecting their heads. One by one, the ninety-four beans were destroyed and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Ninety-four Douding spread out to both sides, and the ninety-seven type of mid-battle and ninety-seven change that followed behind were suddenly exposed to the muzzle of 59, still one cannon at a time, and no Japanese tank could be hit by the second gun, and all of them were taken away with one shot. Nearly 100 97 tanks still couldn't resist the rolling iron flow of 59 and turned into scrap metal. Everything went well, the tanks of the Japanese army were not at all the enemy of the 59.

In the rear, Zhang Zhongliang held a high-powered telescope and ventured to stand high, staring at the tank battlefield in front of him. However, looking at the ferocity of 59, the more he felt that something was wrong, the Japanese army was not stupid, knowing that it was invincible, but still sent these tanks upwards, why is this? There must be a conspiracy in it, but I can't say it, so I can only frown and stare at the battlefield ahead.

Whether it is the 97 Middle War or the 97 Reform, under the 59 Army, the abolished are abolished, and the fleeing are escaped. After that, there is the so-called Type 99 and an unknown heavy tank, as well as the slow 95 Heavy Battle, these three obviously different tanks are not fast, and can only follow behind slowly.

A 59 turned its turret, the barrel of the gun was aimed at an unknown heavy tank, and with a flash of fire, there was a loud bang, and the shells flew towards the unknown heavy tank.

"Boom." The flames of the explosion instantly enveloped it, enveloping it. Just when the gunner thought the tank had been destroyed, he found that it continued to drive steadily out of the smoke.

The gunner was stunned when he saw this, and then hurriedly said, "Quick, change the armor-piercing shell." "Just now he used a high-explosive shell, because in their opinion, the Japanese tanks are vulnerable, so they have always used high-explosive shells, but they didn't expect a tank to block this shell, so they hurriedly replaced them with armor-piercing shells.

The 59 cannon did not destroy the Japanese tank, and Zhang Zhongliang also saw it, but he didn't think it was too strange, because the Japanese army's scientific and technological foundation was not bad, and it was not impossible to build a tank that the 59 couldn't penetrate.

However, he didn't think that this was the back hand of the Japanese army, and he could see that the 59 used high-explosive shells, not armor-piercing shells.

Sure enough, after replacing it with armor-piercing shells, the 59 pierced it with one shot, and the fire suddenly erupted from the hatch, and thick smoke came out of the barrel that looked small, and soon the body was on fire.

Seeing this, the Japanese tanks were naturally not to be left behind, and they also opened fire one after another. The turret of the tank spews shells from the cannon that looks like a large caliber on the top door, and it is about 100mm, but the barrel is short-barreled, so the kinetic energy of the gun is not too large, and the armor-piercing ability is not too strong. In fact, the Japanese army did use high-explosive shells.

"Boom!" A shell exploded around 59, breaking its tracks, leaving the occupants inside fine.

In reality, the tank with broken tracks is not like in the game, and it can be repaired on the spot, just a few seconds, and it will be able to run immediately.

As soon as the tank tracks are broken, they can only obediently stay where they are, or abandon the tank, or when the battle is over, climb out of the tank to repair the tracks.

However, they did not leave 59, but stayed inside as a fixed battery, and they were not afraid that the Japanese army would penetrate it.

There were not too many such heavy tanks of the Japanese army, only ten, and after the destroyed one, there were 9 left, and after only one shot, they were set on fire by a group of 59 and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The newly manufactured Type 99 medium war, with a 75mm cannon on top, is a long-barreled one, and the power is not enough, of course, only for the current tanks in the world, the power of this 99 tank is counted among the first. However, on the whole, it is slow, the engine power is insufficient, the accuracy of the artillery is average, the protective slag is slow, the rate of fire is slow, there is no smoking, no communications, it is expensive, it can be said that except for armor piercing, everything else is not good, and it is completely inferior to the T-34, which can be said to be "shoddy".

On the battlefield, there were only a dozen of them, but their 75 guns still couldn't do damage to 59, and they bounced one after another.

Under the barrel of 59, the Japanese tanks had no power to fight back except for being beaten, and there were only 10 heavy tanks that could barely cause damage to 59, and they were destroyed by a group of 59 after only one shot, and the other tanks were just a pile of meat.

This big battle between tanks soon came to an end, and the fish that slipped through the net were being chased and eaten by 59.

A Japanese soldier Dazuo stared at the battlefield with a hideous face, and the anger in his eyes couldn't be stopped, and he couldn't wait to swallow those 59. Suddenly, he raised his hand, waved it down, and shouted loudly with the Japanese army: "Open the cannon." ”
