[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 457: Killer Weapon (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) )
Sure enough, when Ryosuke Fujimuro came up with direct evidence, all the officers were relieved. At the same time, all the officers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, since last year there have been rumors within the Imperial Army that the Eighth Road of China has invented a powerful weapon, which can not only hit the infantry, but also combat vehicles and armored vehicles, and the Imperial Army has suffered great losses on this mysterious weapon many times.
In order to find out what kind of powerful weapon the people of China invented, the base camp had ordered the front army to find out the truth at all costs, but I didn't expect that the mystery was finally solved today.
It was not a new weapon invented by the Chinese people, but the anti-aircraft machine guns used by the Chinese to fight aircraft against infantry and armored troops, no wonder the front army investigated for so long and found nothing.
"Yo Xi, Fujimuro-kun is worthy of being the elite of the Imperial Japanese Army, with careful observation and flexible thinking, from this time on, I will report to the division headquarters and His Excellency Umezu!" Sekihara said immediately.
Ryosuke Fujimuro was secretly excited in his heart, as long as he entered the eyes of His Excellency the Division Commander and Commander Umezu, it would not be far from the time for him to be promoted to general, and then said: "Thank you for the cultivation of Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!" ”
"Gentlemen, it is good to find out the truth, but more importantly, how to deal with this weapon, you must know that our ultimate goal is to tear apart the positions of the Shina people, defeat them, and even destroy them!" Major General Sekihara said in a deep voice.
At this time, Shigeru Yanagi said with a mouth: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, if the new weapon of the people of China is really a special heavy machine gun, then this matter will be easy to handle!" ”
"Oh, what is Yanagi-kun's response?" Sekihara asked immediately.
"According to the humble understanding, the special heavy machine gun is mainly used to deal with the aviation force, although this weapon can also deal with the combat vehicle, but it can only penetrate one layer of armor, as long as we temporarily add a layer of steel plate in front of the combat vehicle, it is impossible for the heavy machine gun of the Chinese to penetrate our armor." Shigeru Yanagi said in a deep voice.
"Is it feasible to temporarily add steel plates?" Sekihara asked with a frown.
"Your Excellency the brigade commander, if it's not feasible, let's test it, anyway, our brigade is also equipped with two special heavy machine guns." Ryosuke Fujimuro suggested.
"Yo Xi, let's test it, and leave this matter to Liu Shengjun!"
After speaking, Guan Yuanliu said again: "Pass my order, the whole army will rest on the spot, eat and drink to replenish their strength, and continue to attack in the afternoon!" ”
"Hay!"
Soon the results of the experiment came out, and the anti-aircraft machine gun could indeed penetrate the armor of the combat vehicle, and the wound was the same as that of the several combat vehicles that broke down on the battlefield, so it was judged that the new weapon of the Chinese was a special heavy machine gun (anti-aircraft machine gun).
At the same time, after the Japanese suspended a 10 mm thick steel plate on the frontal armor of the combat vehicle, and then fired with an anti-aircraft machine gun, the anti-aircraft machine gun was ineffective, and the warhead was almost completely jammed by the second layer of steel plates.
Shigeichi Yanagi immediately reported the situation to the brigade headquarters, and Sekihara immediately sent a report to the headquarters of the 20th Division in the back, requesting the division headquarters to immediately collect all kinds of steel plates and send them to the front line. At the same time, Shigeichi Yanagi was ordered to immediately disassemble the faulty combat vehicles and use the disassembled steel plates to rebuild the existing combat vehicles.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, after learning that the first division of Yanagi Shigeru had completed the transformation of forty combat vehicles, at the same time, the main force of the division and regimental headquarters had also arrived on the other side of the Hunhe River and was crossing the river. Major General Sekihara immediately ordered his troops to re-prepare for battle and launch another attack on the Fushanso position.
The rumbling of chariots alarmed the Eighth Route Army on the position, and Bilig stood on the tallest building in the village and looked down on the battlefield, and found that this time the Japanese had gathered hundreds of chariots and at least one wing of infantry, apparently preparing to tear their positions apart in one fell swoop. Bi Lige did not dare to slack off, and immediately called the former enemy headquarters in Shuo County to ask whether to implement the final plan to destroy the enemy.
After receiving a call from Bilige, Ma Zheng personally ordered the implementation of the plan to destroy the enemy, and the bazooka troops entered the trenches immediately after the Japanese shelling. At the same time, the armored regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment were ready for battle, and after the rocket launcher unit completed the first round of strikes against the Japanese armored forces, the armored regiment and the mechanized infantry regiment immediately launched an attack, and with the cooperation of the rocket launcher troops, they completed the final blow to the Japanese armored forces and solved the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Hunhe River.
Although Ma Zheng did not expect that the Japanese army would add a layer of steel plates in front of the tank, the anti-aircraft machine gun was just a concoction in his plan, and it was not a killer weapon to deal with the Japanese armored forces in the end. After all, the effectiveness of anti-aircraft machine guns is so poor that only bullets hit the tank driver or the ammunition depot behind the car will work, and it will be useless to hit other places.
His real killer weapon is the bazooka, this individual weapon is simply the nemesis of tanks and armored vehicles, as long as the tanks and armored vehicles enter the 250-meter range of the bazooka, a shot is basically a car crash.
And now Ma Zheng's unit is equipped with 300 rocket launchers in the assault brigade alone, and the Japanese army only has more than 200 combat vehicles, which means that a bazooka driver can't even divide one. However, Ma Zheng also knew that unless his armored troops also appeared on the battlefield, the Japanese tank troops would not all attack, and the range of the bazooka was too short, so how to fight must be well combined.
So there was the first line of defense on the north bank of the Hunhe River and the second line of defense in Fushanzhuang, Ma Zheng knew that the purpose of the Japanese army going north this time was to crush his troops, not to mention whether to counterattack Datong, but at least to prevent his troops from continuing to move south. You must know that now you have arrived in Shuo County, and further south is Xinkou, the northern gateway of Taiyuan, once Ma Zheng's department captures Xinkou, then the situation in the whole Shanxi will be dangerous, and Sugiyama Yuan and Umezu Mijiro will never allow such a thing to happen.
Because of this, even if he stood still, the 20th Division would take the initiative to attack, because they could not afford to lose this battle.
The position on the north bank of the Hunhe River is just a decoy, and the real killer is Fushanzhuang, as long as the Japanese armored troops follow Ma Zheng's "rout" to Fushanzhuang, then the Japanese army will be equivalent to entering the trap set by Ma Zheng for them.
After receiving Ma Zheng's order, Bi Lige did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the troops to strictly implement the commander's battle plan.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The rumbling artillery of the Japanese army once again blew up the defenders' positions outside Fushanzhuang, and even more almost razed the fortifications that were not very strong to the ground, and sandbags and corpses were blown away, which made Major General Sekihara No. 6, who was watching the battle behind, very satisfied.
As the artillery began to fire, a large number of infantry and chariot units began to assemble, and a full 120 chariots and a company of infantry were assembled, and under the personal command of Ryosuke Fujimuro, they launched an attack on the defenders' positions.
When the Japanese tanks came within 300 meters of the defenders' positions, the defenders returned fire again. Only this time, the terrible weapon did not cause many casualties to the Japanese tanks, and not even a single tank lay on its stomach, and the rumbling tracks of the tanks continued to move forward.
Seeing that the chariot with an added layer of steel plates could really restrain that terrible weapon, and at the same time confirmed that the so-called new weapon of the people of China was the Type 33 special heavy machine gun produced in the empire, the corners of Major General Sekihara's mouth once again involuntarily rose.
Having found a way to restrain this powerful weapon, the Imperial Army was able to win this time. The reason why Sekihara Roku dared to say this was entirely based on his observation of the Shina position.
As early as the morning he observed the positions of the China, although the China's position was built on two small dirt slopes and had a certain topographical advantage. But the terrain itself is gentle, so the two dirt slopes on which the Shina people built their positions are not very high, and the slopes are also very gentle, not to mention the tracks of the chariots, even a soldier's accelerated charge can rush up the hillside.
The most important thing is that the stupid Shina people did not dig anti-tank trenches in front of the position, let alone build anti-tank cones, which means that the powerful chariot units of the imperial army can directly drive into the trenches of the China, and hundreds of chariots tear apart the positions of the Shina people. But the smile on the corner of Sekihara's mouth didn't last long before it was interrupted by the next scene. (To be continued.) )
