Chapter 533: Tomahawk Crisis 2
Historically, even the Soviet T34 tank, which was a formidable tank, often achieved good results when fighting alone against German tanks. But in large-scale tank battles, they often lost very miserably, on the one hand, in addition to Germany's absolute air superiority. On the other hand, it was also the backwardness of the Soviet Union in communication equipment, and the tanks of each other could not communicate with each other, resulting in the tanks fighting separately.
In fact, at the beginning of World War II, German tanks were not necessarily better than British and French tanks, which shows that in some cases, the power of armored forces, a tank that can perform well on the battlefield, is not only due to its strong offensive and defensive capabilities. In addition to attack and defense, the stable suspension system, the communication settings between the crew members, the firing time caused by the aiming system, etc., an optimal tank is the perfect balance of all aspects, including its versatility, rather than weakening all other capabilities while highlighting one performance.
The Northwest Army constructively packed radio communication equipment in Tomahawk tanks. Speaking of it, it is not unrelated to Nikola Tesla, whose attainments in the field of radio have influenced a considerable number of scholars and students in the Northwest. So that the Northwest in the electronic technology continues to improve. In a tank battle alone, radio equipment was useless, but in this large-scale tank battle, under the leadership of Tomahawk tanks, the tanks of the Northwest Army were able to use the Tomahawk as a fist and began to divide the huge number of Japanese armored clusters.
At this time, the Japanese tanks, the relatively backward Type 89 medium tanks, in addition to their acceptable defensive performance and good power against infantry, were not even as maneuverable as the Type 95 light tanks. As a newly produced Type 95 light tank by the Japanese army, there are only three crew members, and the whole tank has several main tasks such as driving, machine guns, artillery, and observation during combat, and the burden is undoubtedly very heavy for the three crew members.
Only the Tiger Axe had communication equipment in the tank cluster of the Northwest Army, but the Avengers followed the direction of those Tomahawks. Due to the influency and untimely communication, the tactics are very clumsy, and soldiers with a little military quality can see it at this time. Most of the Japanese infantry were even more anxious at this time. But he could only watch as the melee, which amounted to more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles, had made it impossible for these infantry who lacked sufficient firepower to intervene for the time being.
Although the Japanese army had an advantage in the number of tanks, it was far inferior to the tank clusters of the Northwest Army in terms of shooting and application efficiency.
Shells flew across the battlefield, and flames and shrapnel were everywhere. There was also the sound of shells breaking through armor. The number of tanks is like snowflakes in the sun, quickly melting and dissolving.
Just like the tactics that Tang Yong used before, in fact, with all the techniques thrown by the Northwest Tank Cluster at this time, the tactics that can be used are also very limited, and there are not many options. Perhaps even more changes will be brought about when each tank is equipped with radio communication equipment and has more advantageous communication capabilities.
"Company commander, three targets, I'll go attract firepower first and kill them!" Gao Zhishan contacted Tang Yongdao.
Even if it has moved to a relatively advantageous combat position. But the Japanese army still needs to kill a large number of tanks one by one.
In these square kilometers of land, scattered are the tanks of each side. Gao Zhishan's tank rushed out first, and the tracks overwhelmed the branches of the bushes creaked, and the shells hit a dozen meters away from the Type 89 tanks, splashing a large amount of sediment and grass clippings.
"Aim, fire!" Gao Zhishan shouted in a deep voice.
Rumble! Not surprisingly, the Japanese tank guns also did it, but relatively speaking, the opponent's luck component was either a little better, or the accuracy of the opponent's gunners was really not bad. One shot hit. However, as before, the huge body of the Tomahawk tank only shook slightly, of course, the crew members inside were not so relaxed, at least Gao Zhishan was bruised on his forehead under the powerful kinetic energy conversion. Every time a cannon hits, everyone has to be on guard, even with the defense of Tomahawk tanks, it is still very dangerous to be hit by the opponent's shells.
"Damn, I've been beaten four times, and it's really fateful." When it was determined that the tank could be driven again, the crew members felt like they were in a different world. After all, three Tomahawks had already been destroyed by the Japanese army, and all of them were killed at a distance of more than 200 meters. In fact, the so-called tank tactics are very simple in principle, and they are just trying to widen the distance between the two sides, take advantage of the defensive advantage as much as possible, and then avoid the direction of the main force of the Japanese tanks, tear off a piece of meat from the opponent's flank, and shorten the quantitative gap between each other. Constantly weakening the numerical superiority of the Japanese army.
"Bastard, what kind of monster is the Shina Army driving!" Compared with the luck of the members of the Gao Zhishan car crew, the Japanese tankers who fired the Gao Zhishan tank at this time were scolded again, although they approached to a certain distance from the opponent, they could still destroy the opponent, but this distance was enough for the opponent to fire several cannons, who could guarantee that they could cross that distance alive, or that they could still get away with dodging the enemy's counterattack after destroying the opponent? At least they weren't so lucky.
Rumble! It was Hu Yaoguang's tank that fired this time, and as soon as he crossed a small ditch with a width of nearly one meter, Hu Yaoguang directly killed the other party with one shot, after all, it was an elite car group that dared to fight with Tang Yong, and naturally it was also powerful.
The tank drove past a relatively low puddle in the field, and the tumbling muddy water rolled along the tracks. At this time, Tang Yong had already commanded the tank to drive up a small earthen platform, rushed to it, fired two shots in a row, and let the tank drive down without looking at his own record.
"It's so painful, it's so painful!" However, Gao Lingyun, as the commander of the entire armored cluster this time, looked refreshed.
"Yes, this face is more energetic than when I was in Langfang, I dare to conclude that after this battle, the little devil will be afraid of three points if he fights with the tanks of our Northwest Army." The driver was equally excited.
"I'm afraid this kind of opportunity is less, more than one-third of the tanks of the entire North China Front are here, and after this battle, it is not easy for them to organize such a tank battle again. These guys aren't the ones who can Rafsodin. Okay, no nonsense, drive forward another five hundred meters, and then to the right, today you must leave all the main armored forces of the little devils! Gao Lingyun's tone changed, and the eyes that observed the entire battlefield were terrifying, the 2nd Mechanized Brigade was destined to become famous again after this battle. However, Gao Lingyun didn't know that he had some extravagant hopes for this idea, because for the new technology arms of the Northwest Army, Jiang Li was in the attitude of covering the lid, and he could cover it for as long as he could.
