399: Improvised anti-tank gun
As soon as Zhu Kuan's 313 crew arrived at the battlefield, they saw this scene in front of them, although they all knew that as long as the artillery above 75 mm caliber hit them, unless it hit the front and they were lucky, otherwise, this tank could only turn into a pile of scrap metal.

But you know, when a tank is destroyed in front of their eyes, this scene is still very shocking.
"Avoid moving forward, damn it, that guy has his sights on us." Zhu Kuan looked through the periscope and saw that the gun in the distance was adjusting the muzzle, behind the artillery, there were several Russian soldiers carrying a shell and running over, once they finished loading, the 313 tank still did not go away, then the next destroyed tank is likely to be the 313 tank.
Ansan directly pushed the propulsion rod to the end, without any reservations, the tank let out a dull roar, the engine instantly reached a state of overload, the whole tank, the big guy weighing 12.5 tons, moved forward violently, and in the blink of an eye, he threw the infantry behind him far away.
When the Russian artillery was about to stuff the shell into the barrel, Ansan violently turned the direction of the tank, causing the tank to move forward sideways, giving way to the original position.
In just two seconds, the 313 tank was out of the aiming range of the gun, but the Russian soldiers didn't seem to believe in this evil, they didn't turn the muzzle, and they didn't adjust the new shooting elements with the movement of the tank, but directly pulled the gun rope.
A 75-mm shell flew directly to the rear about five or six meters behind the tank, and then a violent explosion came from a mound a few hundred meters behind the tank, fortunately there were no soldiers there, otherwise, even if this cannon could not damage the 313 tank in the past, it would have posed a huge threat to the infantry behind.
The 313 crew saw the shells passing by them, and couldn't help pinching a cold sweat, if the other party adjusted the muzzle slightly, or their speed was a little slower, then this time it should be the 313 tank that was destroyed.
"Go forward, Mom. Yes, the distance is too far and already beyond our range. Sun Bing firmly grasped the armrests on both sides with both hands, his eyes were lying on the periscope, and he shouted loudly.
Although the rate of fire of the 37 tank gun is extremely terrifying, its weakness is also obvious, that is, its range is always a hard wound, with a maximum range of 1,600 meters and an effective range of 1,000 meters, but considering the specific use of tanks, the general tank will attack targets of about 700 meters.
If you are farther away, you will also attack, but whether you can hit or not is another matter, and because the first generation of tanks is unique and unique, the use of this tank will not be used in a wide range of tank battles.
To put it bluntly, now there is only one country in the whole world, the Chinese Empire, that has tanks, and he doesn't have that chance even if he wants to fight a tank decisive battle with the enemy.
Therefore, the main role of the Boar tank is to use it as a mobile battery and mobile machine gun, and of course, to provide cover for the infantry is also one of their tasks.
The tank in the real sense is the second-generation tank, and only after the great powers are fooled into the car will the Chinese Empire vigorously promote the second-generation tank.
And the second-generation tank has an absolute advantage in all aspects, not to mention the inclined armor, the 75 tank gun alone can overwhelm the leader, not to mention the armor-piercing shells and high-explosive shells, the same, in terms of range, it will increase a lot.
It can be said that the Wild Boar tank is a deformed product under the urgent rush, barely enough, but it is not up to the requirements in many aspects, but then think about it, after all, it is the first tank in China, and some defects are normal.
On the contrary, if there are no obvious flaws, how can you fool the great powers into getting on the bus? The flaws of the first generation of tanks are actually designed to add advantages to the second generation tanks.
"Don't rush, don't you see I'm trying to figure it out? What are the infantry doing? It's been so long, and you haven't killed Lao Maozi's artillery? Ansan responded with some unhappiness.
There are no clear requirements for the evasive actions of the tank, and it is impossible for the troops to formulate a set of strict evasive actions for you, and the troops will only tell them what aspects they should pay attention to when doing evasive actions, and how long can an action be maintained at most.
The specific operation depends on the driver himself, because if the army stipulates a unified action, in case the enemy captures the tank crew and gets this data, then when they face the tank force, they will set the advance amount in advance according to this set of data, and the hit rate will increase dramatically.
The advantage of leaving the specific operation to the tank driver is that there are all kinds of evasion actions, even they themselves do not know what kind of action they will make in the next moment, and for the enemy, the chance of being able to track and lock on is even smaller.
In this way, if you can still hit the tank, then there are only two possibilities, one is that the other party has touched the trajectory of the tank, although there is no unified trajectory, but everyone has their own familiar routine, or their own consciousness, it is not difficult for people to find these problems through observation.
The other is so good luck that it bursts, this kind of almost incomprehensible, you can think of everything, but can you stop other people's luck?
"Reverse! Reversing! Zhu Kuan suddenly shouted.
The body of the tank slammed forward, and then the whole tank quickly fell backwards.
'Whoosh ......'
A shell crossed almost the front of the tank, this time closer to the tank's body, and luckily it was on their side, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Previously, Zhu Kuan saw that the gun was setting the advance amount, and if the tank did not stop, it would only take a second or two for the tank to be hit.
But what Zhu Kuan didn't expect was that at the same time as he gave the order, the other party also reacted closely, however, the other party's luck didn't seem to be very good, although he also adjusted the direction closely, but still let the 313 tank dodge.
It's a fierce rival! Zhu Kuan wiped the sweat from his palms, and was faintly afraid in his heart, so he had to muster up his spirit to deal with the enemy in front of him.
Obviously, the level of the other side is obviously far superior to other Russian artillery, no matter what, this artillery must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise, the losses on their side will be more and more.
……
Leonid. Nikolaevich. Gobiato looked at the tank in the distance in surprise, and couldn't believe for a long time that the other party had dodged his attack twice in a row.
However, the opponent's evasive action is too weird, Gobiato can't find any rules at all, and every shot can only be set according to the direction of the opponent's movement, but the scene just now made Gobiato realize that his method doesn't seem to be reliable.
And the steel behemoth on the other side turned out to be so flexible, which was far beyond Gobiato's expectations. And before, he just thought that this kind of big guy must have poor maneuverability, and even less flexibility.
But after this brief fight, Gobiato's heart also had to pay attention.
The tank that was destroyed earlier was actually because the other party was careless and didn't notice Gobiato's sneak attack, so it was easy to succeed. And what was Gobiato doing when he was manipulating a cannon to aim at the other party? It is to stand there and advance slowly, providing cover for the infantry behind them, acting as a mobile fortress.
The speed is not fast, and there is no evasive action, is it difficult for Gobiato, as an experienced veteran gunner, to defeat the opponent? It's not hard at all.
But the No. 313 tank made Gobiato realize the difficulty of the other party's steel giant, and at the same time realized that once he reached their range, then the Russian army would not have any advantage.
"Battalion commander, the shells are loaded!" A soldier said to Gobiato.
Gobiato quickly adjusted the new angle of fire, and when he felt that he could almost hit, he directly pulled the cannon rope, but helplessly, this shell was not even as good as the two shells in front of him, and this shell was at least thirty meters away from the opponent.
This also made Gobiato depressed, Gobiato had even seen the trajectory of the other party, whenever he adjusted the muzzle of the cannon, the other party would immediately make evasive actions, every time it was so difficult, and when his side finished firing the cannon, the other party would quickly push forward, closing the distance between the two sides.
Everything on his side seems to be under the watchful eye of the other party, and as long as he makes a new move, the other party will immediately take countermeasures, so that he can't hit the other party.
Historically, Gobiato participated in the Russian-Japanese War, and was the commander of the artillery company at the time, participated in the Battle of Arthur Pass, when the Japanese army advanced to a range of tens of meters, the Russian army was difficult to use artillery and machine guns to effectively kill the other side, so Gobiato tried to modify the old 37mm naval mortar gun to the wheel, with a large elevation angle to fire long-tail shells, the result was effective to kill the Japanese in the trench, and repeatedly repelled the Japanese attack.
And this kind of artillery is the first mortar in history, although it was only a temporary modification, but after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian side began to pay attention to this aspect of research, and soon developed a mortar in the real sense.
Because of the sudden emergence of the Chinese Empire, the Russo-Japanese War did not break out as scheduled, but dragged on for three years, and turned into the Sino-Russian War.
And Gobiato was also promoted from the artillery captain to the artillery major and became the commander of the artillery battalion.
Because there was no war, the credit of mortars naturally did not have anything to do with Gobiato, but what people didn't expect was that Gobiato still came up with the method of using artillery to attack tanks.
Although the Chinese Empire took away the right to invent mortars, Gobiato found the principle of anti-tank guns through this war, which was another kind of unexpected gain.
However, the current result is not very happy, Gobiato's mood is very depressed, the enemy is getting closer and closer to them, and with Gobiato's successive mistakes, it also makes other tanks nearby to close the distance between the two sides, if this tank cannot be destroyed, then more tanks will enter the firing range, and at that time, their only artillery that can pose a threat to the tank, will also be completely annihilated.
