Last night in a hurry, the artillery had not yet been calibrated, and after breakfast, the artillerymen received an order to saturate the Japanese positions, and as for how to saturate, it was necessary to see how the positions were destroyed.

The artillerymen quickly filled their stomachs, some of them did not finish eating, they still bit a compressed biscuit at the corner of their mouths, and they shook the small rocker in their hands to calibrate Zhu Yuan.

The coarse projectile is stuffed into the barrel, and then a copper belt around the shell clamps the shell into the barrel, and then stuffs it into the cartridge for firing.

"Boom!" The gunner pulled the gun rope violently, and a large ball of flame erupted from the muzzle, and the projectile flew through the flames and flew into the distance. The artillery erected in rows on the position fired one after another, and the smoke wheels produced by the gunpowder were covered in the sky above the position, but fortunately, the snow had not long melted, and the ground was a little wet, and the impact of the artillery when it was fired had no way to stir up dust, so that these artillerymen were spared from being vacuum cleaners.

On the Japanese position, a squad leader sat in a pillbox, nibbled on a rice ball, and through the perforation, went to observe the situation on the opposite side.

Suddenly, he felt the ground pound, and the ashes above his head spilled down and fell on the rice balls in his hands. Then the sound of the explosion reached his ears, and immediately after, he heard people outside shouting for an enemy attack, and to hide.

He had always been highly nervous, but after hearing the rumbling explosion, he breathed a sigh of relief, flicked the ash on the rice ball, skimmed off some dirty places, and then stuffed the salted fish rice ball into his mouth.

After eating this rice ball that he was tired of eating for a long time, how much he wanted to eat a bite of roast chicken, nostalgic when he first entered Lu'an, he grabbed things casually, and there was roast chicken to eat every day, and he had a big meal of fish and meat.

Leaning against the wall of the bunker, he shrunk back to make some space. It should be an artillery bombardment, and the soldiers who were originally in their respective positions took refuge in the pillbox, and he ignored the pillbox.

Closing the cigarette, feeling the ground shaking more and more strongly, listening to the sound of artillery fire getting closer and closer, for some reason, he felt a thick uneasiness, but he was in the bunker, and he couldn't figure out where this uneasiness came from. Could it be that this pillbox can't defend against the opponent's artillery? Well, most likely.

The uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger as the sound of artillery fire became closer and closer. The opponent's artillery fire must be extending, because his pillbox is relatively far behind, since the sound of artillery is getting closer and closer, it means that the opponent's artillery will continue to extend, and sooner or later it will come back.

No, you have to get out of here. With a strong uneasiness in his heart, he felt the need to leave the bunker, and although it was dangerous outside, he still trusted his own perceptions.

Squeezed through the crowd to an exit that was only one meter high, and bent down to get out, but he didn't get out immediately, but there he thought about whether he would go out or not. But listening to the rumbling of artillery fire getting closer and closer, he gritted his teeth, lowered his head and bent down to drill out of the exit.

"Your Excellency Second Lieutenant, what are you doing? It's too dangerous outside and you can't get out. ”

Someone saw him coming out of the hole and immediately shouted loudly, but he ignored him. The soldiers in the bunker were all a little surprised by the behavior of this squad leader, didn't he know that it was dangerous outside now? Is it safest to stay in a bunker, or is this squad leader crazy? Some people even speculated whether this squad leader was sent by the children of some nobleman to gild, and he had never been on the battlefield at all, and then he was frightened crazy by this artillery fire in China.

No matter what others think, he has already come out, but the uneasiness in his heart is still there, but it is a little lighter. Hunched over in the traffic trench, he wanted to get away from the bunker completely, so that the uneasiness in his heart slowly faded.

The explosion of the cannonballs, the splashing of dirt, the shock wave, all affected his movements, but he was far from the pillbox. Turning his head to look there, the shells had passed, but the bunker was still there, and he wondered if he had felt wrong. However, at this time, a few shells fell from the sky and smashed on the pillbox, and suddenly, the pillbox was directly blown up by an earthen plane, and he had good eyesight, and he could even see some mutilated corpses mixed with it.

Seeing that the bunker was blown up right in front of him, he suddenly had beads of sweat crawling on his forehead, and he shouted luck in his heart, but at the same time, he was afraid that if he didn't feel the danger, or didn't believe his perception, then he would definitely be among those corpses flying in the air.

The monkey looked at the Japanese position completely covered by artillery fire with satisfaction, and felt that it should be about the same, so he issued an order so that the artillery could stop, and the next thing was the infantry attack, and now the infantry and artillery coordination is not good enough, so the infantry and artillery coordination is forgotten, so as not to cause unnecessary losses. "Let the 2nd Infantry Regiment and the Armored Regiment of the 1st Brigade go up."

The order was given quickly, and the soldiers, who had been sitting in the barracks watching the artillery line crossed by the shells in the sky, heard that they were about to attack, and they were immediately excited, they had been ready for a long time, just waiting for this moment.

"Woo~" The last shell rubbed against the air and whistled, slashed over their heads, and after a few tenths of a second, exploded on the Japanese position.

"Attack!"

The engine of the 59 tank at the beginning started with a hum, and a cloud of black smoke came out towards the chimney on one side, indicating that the engine was fully loaded. After a puff of smoke, the engine hummed much quieter, and all that came out was white smoke.

30 59 platoons marched side by side, followed by 50 T-34s, and finally the soldiers, holding 81 bars and following behind the tanks, everyone's expressions were different at the moment, some were excited, some were excited, some were worried, some were afraid, and some were able to maintain a very calm state.

The driving wheels rotate slowly, so that the tank does not move very quickly, and maintains a speed similar to that of the infantry. The two tracks should rotate and make a squeaky sound.

As soon as 59 emerged, the Japanese troops on the opposite position were boiling.

"Chariot, Chariot of China." A Japanese soldier shouted as if he had never seen it, this Japanese soldier seemed to him that the Chinese/army should be rushing towards them with tattered guns.

"Artillery, quickly push out our anti-tank guns, we must destroy the tanks in China." A Japanese squadron leader shouted frantically.

These so-called anti-tank guns, in fact, are 75mm caliber mountain guns, which are slightly modified to increase the muzzle velocity of the gun, and by the way, these guns are equipped with enough armor-piercing shells. In fact, to deal with tanks, it is good to use large-caliber artillery, but Lu'an does not have large-caliber artillery, and the largest is the 75mm mountain gun just mentioned.

When he learned that Lu Qiang was going to march into Lu'an, as the supreme commander of the defenders of Lu'an, he also proposed to the base camp for large-caliber artillery, but this telegram was quickly suppressed, because this report mentioned some content that could shake the war determination of the Japanese people, and the main thing was that there was no support, so it was suppressed. However, the wing commander did not give up, sent many telegrams, and finally received a reply, but the content of the above almost did not let him fight with the Japanese Navy. This telegram explained that the reason for not giving large-caliber artillery was because their performance in China was not good, and as a result, the share of steel was deducted, resulting in the road army having no steel to cast cannons, but the 92 artillery still had a lot of pre-storage, and the base camp apologized, so a batch of 92 artillery was transferred to him. However, in the face of large-caliber artillery, it is still not used. Take the present as an example, the Japanese army, which had been bombarded by shelling, was beaten in pieces because it did not have effective countermeasures, and its positions were destroyed one by one, and the casualties were even heavier.

The 75mm caliber anti-tank gun was hidden in hidden places, and only the long barrels swore its existence.

"Boom!" As soon as he stepped on the Japanese position, the Type 59 100mm gun roared, and a projectile was shot out, but the hit was so floating that I didn't know where to shoot. However, this cannon symbolized that they had officially stepped on the Japanese position.

"Quick, get into position." When the Japanese officer saw the opposing tank coming up, he immediately shouted loudly. The Japanese soldiers rushed to their posts with 38 large covers, although the positions had been bombed beyond recognition by artillery.

The anti-tank cones and barbed wire fences at the front had long since been reduced to ashes by the rumbling artillery fire, leaving only large craters there.

The 59 tank ran over without any pressure, leaving two deep track marks on the blown up soil.

In one house, a 75mm anti-tank gun aimed at a 59 tank and got an armor-piercing shell, just an ordinary armor-piercing shell. There are not many opportunities for the Japanese army to use armor-piercing shells, most of them use high-explosive shells, so armor-piercing shells belong to a special type of ammunition for them, and high-explosive shells are ordinary shells. The armor-piercing bullet used by the Japanese army is the kind of pointed bullet, which is very similar to the high-explosive bullet, not the back-exposed armor-piercing bullet, but compared with the more sleek warhead of the high-explosive bullet, it is pointed, and the warhead is reinforced and thickened to allow it to break through the armor. The shells are also filled with gunpowder, but less than high-explosive shells, this kind of ordinary armor-piercing shells, also called AP shells, for tanks, AP shells are ordinary shells, but for artillery, high-explosive shells are ordinary shells.

"Put!" A Japanese observer shouted, and the gunner pulled the gun rope violently, and the firing pin fired a few primers, and the energy of the explosion pushed the projectile out.

After this cannon was fired, the projectile instantly crossed the Japanese position and flew to the frontal armor of the 59 tank, for the vertical armor, the AP shell was not bad, but for the inclined armor of the 59, this armor-piercing projectile was powerless, and it was directly ejected, plowing a trench in the frontal armor of the 59.

"The little devil has a cannon, pay attention, don't overturn the boat in the gutter." The commander of the 59 tank that was hit by the shell immediately picked up the radio and shouted loudly.

"I've seen it." The commander of the No. 3 tank responded that the fire revealed its location when the Japanese gun opened fire.

"Stop, get rid of that little devil." The commander of tank number three shouted. They don't know how to move and shoot, mobile shooting is easy to miss, they are not like the rabbit tank soldiers of later generations, they can hit the target at a high speed of 60 yards, it is simply a hanging.

The tank, which was not very fast, stopped, turned the turret slightly, and the barrel was pointed at the target. "Boom!" A ball of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun, the shell spanned hundreds of meters, and in only a few tenths of a second, the projectile smashed into the house, and then exploded, a cloud of dust and mist was splashed, the house was reduced to ruins, and the commander of the No. 3 tank could even see the twisted barrel of the gun being blown into the sky.

The Japanese troops lying on the position were stunned, just now their artillery fired, thinking that they could destroy the opponent's tank, but the result made them a little sad, their artillery could not penetrate the opponent's armor at all, but the position was discovered by the opponent's tank, and a cannon was sent to Aunt Amaterasu's house.

Looking at those tanks with 100mm thick cannon barrels, the Japanese army felt a little kinky. The opponent's tank is so powerful, why is our tank not so powerful. The Japanese were extremely unbalanced and vowed to destroy the opposing tanks.
