Chapter 23, Type 89 Tank

"...... you?" Zhang Yanchun looked at the few people in front of him who killed more than 20 devils in an instant, dressed in ordinary earthy blue cotton clothes, without any protrusion, the only eye-catching thing was the guns in their hands, which he had never seen, and although the only MG34 machine gun came out, he had never seen it.

"We?!" The monkeys looked at each other, and finally the monkeys stepped forward and said: "We are from the 88th Division of the 71st Army, which was dispersed in Nanjing and withdrew here." "The monkey casually said that a relatively famous army, at that time, the 71st Division of the 88th Army was equipped with all German armaments, which could be said to be the strongest in the whole of China, and the equipment was the best, so they all heard of it, and at the same time it also said why the weapons were so good in the past.

Zhang Yanchun listened to the monkey's words, showing such an expression, in his opinion, only the 88th Division is equipped with so many automatic weapons, and he has never seen it, he is still self-aware.

"Are you all these people?" Zhang Yanchun asked, these people in front of him are all elites to him, and if he can have more, he will be able to hold this street, and he will not have to be punished or die first by example, and there will even be a reward.

"No, and our head." The monkey replied, and as for the leopard, he ignored it.

"And where are your heads?" Zhang Yanchun asked.

"It's in the back." The monkey said, originally just turning his head and pointing in the direction, but saw that Lu Qiang and the leopard had already come out. "Now, our boss is here."

When Zhang Yanchun heard this, he followed the monkey's gaze and saw that they were two young men who looked weak and weak in their early teens, not a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties.

Seeing Lu Qiang and the others coming, Zhang Yanchun immediately saluted, because in his opinion, the two weak young men should be the children of some rich people's families, and they came to be soldiers just to be gangsters and spend money to buy officers, because he has seen many rich sons spend money to buy officers, and all of them are senior officers, but they are not comparable to him, and now what he expects is that these two in front of him are not straw bales.

Lu Qiang and the leopard saw that the monkeys had eliminated the devils easily and happily, so they came out of the hiding place and said hello to these "friendly troops" or something.

As soon as he came out, Lu Qiang saw the monkey and a commander-like figure of the "friendly army" communicating "cordially", and then saw that they all looked over, and then the officer saluted him. When Lu Qiang saw Zhang Yanchun saluting him, he was also stunned and immediately returned the salute.

After that, the two of them shook each other cordially, you and I were nong, and they exchanged information with each other, and Lu Qiang used the 88th Division of the 71st Army as a shield, serving as the company commander, and Zhang Yanchun was the battalion commander.

Zhang Yanchun said: You are younger than me, your military rank is lower than mine, and you saved my life, you will be my brother in the future, and I will cover you everywhere.

Lu Qiang said: I came through the country, I am not familiar with the place, there is no backer, although I am just a battalion commander, but it doesn't matter, I will help you, as long as I am covered in the future, I have a lot of good things.

So the two hit it off at first sight, hooked shoulders and backs, embarrassed and treacherous, colluded with each other, compared with peers, and did evil together, preparing for collusion in the future, protecting each other with officials and officials, forming a party for personal gain, it can be said that they are colluding, a raccoon dog, and the smell is similar......

Ahem, ignore the above and continue to the text:

Lu Qiang and Zhang Yanchun met and discussed the defense issue, and now that the morale of their battalion has dropped to the freezing point, it is better for them to surrender or commit suicide as soon as possible.

His task is to hold here, originally he was not sure, ready to be a deserter, no, it was a strategic shift, but now there is Lu Qiang, they have strong firepower and high quality (?) The spirit is good, with their help, even if it is lost, as long as it is later than other places.

Under the guidance of Lu Qiang, the 'great', 'dazzling', and 'powerful' 'god of war', everyone used some ruins to build a number of breastwork, and on the road less than ten meters wide, several breastworks appeared, but there was a suspicion of tofu scum engineering, and I don't know how many shells I could take, even if it was a grenade fired from a grenadier.

Just when everyone was facing the chest wall, suddenly a soldier's head was bloomed, and then the gunshots rang out, which were very familiar to the ears, and it was the classic "snapping" sound of the devil's 38 big cover.

"The devil is coming!"

I don't know who shouted, the people who were still watching the attacking devils in a daze, coaxed and ran, scattered, the position that was originally pushing and shouting was instantly empty, and the attacking devils were stunned, and thought that the people on the opposite side had cast some spell.

"Hit!"

Zhang Yanchun shouted, the Mauser pistol in his hand had already fired a row of bullets, and the soldiers who were hiding behind the chest wall reluctantly picked up their guns and fired back, regardless of the lack of bullets, they hit all over the sky, and even a bullet was hit into the sky, and after losing power, under the action of gravity, it fell from the sky, and hit the head of a devil, "Ding!" With a bang, the helmet was dented, and this unlucky devil was also smashed into a concussion, and his life was not guaranteed!

Not to mention that this devil is unlucky, or someone is lucky, Lu Qiang They are now hiding behind a wall that looks solid, and they are very nervous, this is the first time they have faced the enemy head-on, in the past, they were sneak attacks, hiding in the shadows and shooting cold guns, and the only time they faced the enemy head-on on the city wall, but their geographical location is remote, not the main attack direction of the devil, and in addition to the shells that hit him, they also swept the machine gun bullets from time to time, so they are not facing the enemy head-on.

"Bang!" The leopard, which had been hiding behind the wall, suddenly leaned out, fired a quick shot, and then shrank back.

From God's point of view, it can be seen that after a devil shoots a leopard, a red and white thing instantly bursts out from the center of his eyebrows, which is extremely bright in the sun. If Lu Qiang saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked, and he would snipe instantly! And it's a headshot! It is estimated that he will cry and shout for apprenticeship.

Lu Qiang can't see it, but it doesn't mean that others can't see it, Camp Commander Zhang on the side can see it clearly, looking at the leopard's eyes as if seeing a beautiful woman, obedient, sharpshooter! Rare species! Battalion Commander Zhang Da made up his mind that he must get his hands on it. Thinking about it, he silently glanced at Lu Qiang.

Lu Qiang, who leaned over and fired a shot, was shrinking back, and suddenly felt a chill behind him, feeling like he was being targeted by something, looked around, and found no danger, feeling that he should be delusional.

"Rumble !!"

Suddenly, the sound of a diesel engine came from the direction of the devil in front of him, although there was a gunshot, but Lu Qiang still heard it clearly, yes, it was the sound of a diesel engine.

Hearing this voice, Lu Qiang's first thought was that it was a devil's tank, and the probe looked at it, and three iron-clad guys appeared in Lu Qiang's eyes, that's right, it is definitely a tank, a tank in the mouth of the Japanese army, as for what model it is, Lu Qiang doesn't know it, but it doesn't matter, you can check it in the system, although the heavy weapon is not unlocked, but it's okay to see the performance introduction.

According to the appearance, Lu Qiang found a medium tank called "Type 8/9", which has two models:

One is the Type 89 A medium tank:

The other is the Type 89 B medium tank:

Lu Qiang couldn't see which one it was, but this didn't prevent him from getting excited in his heart, and he was very grateful to the devil in his heart, this was a proper way to send experience.

At the same time that Lu Qiang was happy, the devils were also happy, in their opinion, their chariot was invincible, and the bullets clanged on it, and to them, it sounded like the sound of heaven.

The leopard fired a shot with the SVD in his hand, although the SVD has great lethality and good penetration, but in front of the 17 mm thick armor, it is still not enough to see, at most it will make a hole.

But it doesn't matter, Lu Qiang has a big killer weapon in his hand, the M99 semi-automatic sniper rifle.

Encyclopedia of equipment for the Japanese invasion of China

The Taisho 10 grenadier canister has a caliber of 50 mm, weighs very light and only 2.6 kg, and has a range of 175 meters. It was designed primarily for the Japanese military to be able to bridge the gap in firepower between medium mortars and individual grenades, while at the same time being able to significantly enhance the firepower of infantry squads.

The Taisho 10-Year Grenadier served in the Japanese army for 25 years until the defeat of the Japanese army in World War II.

However, the Taisho 10-style itself was not very good, its range was too short (less than 200 meters), which made it impossible for soldiers to use it at a relatively safe distance, and its accuracy was not good, which made it quickly replaced by the later 89-type grenadier canister
