What is an armored cluster? In Hao Wenbin's words, the iron flow is unstoppable, and when a hundred iron cavalry medium main battle tanks are launched at the same time, Hao Wenbin suddenly has a feeling of sweeping everything? The barrel of the 100-millimeter tank main gun flashed with cold light, the canvas behind the turret was wrapped with spare oil drums, and the snow camouflage painted on the body, Hao Wenbin felt an unstoppable impact in the face of such a spectacular sortie scene, and this extreme impact even made Hao Wenbin feel a kind of suffocation?

Hao Wenbin stabilized his mind and waved his hand: "Brothers of the Third Armored Division, after this battle, I should apply to Chief Zhang for an order to give you an official organization, and give the Third Armored Division an honorary number, and award special medals to the officers and soldiers who fought bravely in previous battles, for the motherland!" For the nation! Today we are going to fight to the death against the Kou! ”

The roar of the armored cluster made Hao Wenbin deafening, and more than 50 BF-109F and BF-109K fighters in the sky were maintaining formation, guarding the sky above the armored group, and contacting the reconnaissance aircraft group in front at any time to confirm the direction of the march of the army's chariot division and mechanized division.

The temporarily formed 3rd Armored Division took 100 iron cavalry medium main battle tanks as the core, formed a diamond-shaped attack formation of 2 square kilometers in size, and formed two 2-square-kilometer diamond-shaped battle formations in the position of retreating one kilometer on its left and right flanks.

At the same time, Ohara Tachie and Daiichi Yamashita looked at the air force fighters in the 10th Theater of the China Army that were driven away by ground anti-aircraft firepower in the sky, and the hearts of the two people were invariably clouded, this is obviously not an attack tactic, even if one of the BF-109F fighters was hit by anti-aircraft guns and exploded in the air, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force still did not retreat? Why is that? Ohara Tachie and Yamashita Daiichi are very clear that the tactical task of these planes is actually reconnaissance, and since the fighters of the middle [***] are hovering above their heads, then the troops of the middle [***] are probably not far away, right?

On the Chinese [***] side, the two main armored divisions of the 10th Theater seem to be fighting in the Chaoyang region, even if Zhang Xuewu still has a part of the reserve of tanks and armored vehicles in Baotou, how big of a problem can it solve? Equipped with the commander's 37 mm tank gun and 47 mm tank gun, the adaptability of the Type 95 and the 95 in the snow is still quite good, because all the 95 series tanks of the Yue Army have been equipped with anti-slip wide tracks, which makes the Yue Army combat vehicles maintain a very high mobility and cross-country ability in this battle.

In fact, when facing the crisis of the Jackal tank of the Rehe Army, the army had designed a number of combat vehicles specifically to deal with the Jackal light tank, but they all stopped halfway for various reasons of one kind or another, and the only one that was included in the production was the Type 97 medium tank, but the Type 97 medium tank was somewhat different from history, and simply put, it was designed to be able to confront the 23-ton light tank of the Jackal light tank.

For this reason, the Jackal light tank was equipped with a 50-millimeter tank gun with a diameter of 52 times that of the Germans, which was too lethal for the armor of the combat vehicle produced by Yuben.

Therefore, I am trying to equip a demon that can at least fight against the Jackal light tank, which is extremely mobile, but neither Ohara Tachie's chariot division nor Yamashita Daii's 23rd mechanized division is equipped with this kind of 97-type chariot that is a treasure by the army staff headquarters, because in the eyes of some powerful figures in the staff headquarters, the Kwantung Army should play an active role in infantry fighting chariots even if there are no chariots. Using the five most effective ways to fight tanks reported by the Kwantung Army to the General Staff Headquarters of the Army to destroy one's opponents, not to mention that in his own opinion, the commander's 37-millimeter chariot cannon and 47-millimeter chariot cannon on the Type 95 light chariot were enough to deal with the Jackal tank, and the main reason for repeated defeats was because the officers and men of the chariot unit did not work hard?

If Zhang Xuewu's point of view let Zhang Xuewu know that Zhang Xuewu can laugh off his big teeth, and he is proactive, it can't replace the coefficient of alloy armor, nor can it replace the armor-piercing thickness of tank gun armor-piercing shells, and his so-called theory is just self-deception, and the best way to deal with armored clusters is large-scale air raids, or in street battles with limited space, the defending side must also have a large number of reliable and effective anti-tank weapons as a premise, if both sides do not have air supremacy in the plain area, Then the fight is the quality and firepower of the tanks on both sides, and even the command is not the most critical point.

The battlefield division and the 23rd mechanized division of the Kwantung Army also put on a posture of attacking, and the commanders of the defenders of Baotou in China were able to take the initiative to meet the posture of Ohara Tachie and Daichi Yamashita felt deeply uneasy, they were not as blindly optimistic as Hideki Tojo, Baotou was where Zhang Xuewu's industrial base was located! Who dares to guarantee that there is no secret weapon of Zhang Xuewu here? Before the Jackal Light Tank officially destroyed the Kwantung Army and dealt a severe blow to the Central China Front Army attacking Nanjing, those fools in the base camp had been claiming that three Jackal tanks could only deal with one Type 95 tank, and as a result, five Type 95 tanks besieged a Jackal light tank, and they were all beaten to scrap metal, and the reality was extremely cruel to those arrogant guys.

At a distance of less than two kilometers from the attack formation of the two sides, the iron cavalry medium main battle tank group equipped with radio began to slow down, and the jackal light tanks on both flanks began to accelerate from the left and right flanks to prepare to outflank the entire attack group of the Japanese army. Without the slightest air supremacy, he actually put on an attack formation that was even denser than the 3rd Armored Division of the 10th Theater of Operations? The entire Kwantung Army Chariot Division and the 23rd Mechanized Division formed a six-kilometer-long tank-shaped attack phalanx, and if aerial reconnaissance looked as ridiculous as the tortoise formation of ancient Rome.

Their mission is to ensure air supremacy in the combat area, not to participate in ground attacks, so the loss of the army's chariots is not huge, Ohara Lijiang's chariot division was originally equipped with 329 chariots of various types, about 45 chariots were abandoned due to mechanical failures on the way, and about 30 or so were destroyed, although the losses were serious, but the main combat effectiveness was still preserved, In the eyes of Ohara Tachie and Daichi Yamashita to risk retreating and being cut off, attacking Baotou without any reinforcements is suicide in itself, but for Tojo Hideki, this is a great opportunity to contribute to the empire!

Everyone understands the truth of seeking wealth and danger, but how many people can really be so lucky? I'm afraid this question is worth pondering, Tojo Hideki and his people are really as Ishihara Waner said, rarely use their heads to think about problems, because Tojo's brain is straight, and the only thing Tojo will know is to command two machine guns, this time it is obvious that Tojo commands too many machine guns, which are beyond the scope of Tojo Hideki's ability.

Hideki Tojo's only impression of Ohara Tachie and Daichi Yamashita is madness, from the battle plan to Tojo himself, it is extremely crazy, as if the world is about to be destroyed tomorrow? So Tojo fell into the final madness?

At a distance of 1,500 meters, the 100-millimeter smoothbore gun, equipped with the artillery lateral and longitudinal stabilization system, with the help of the latest Eagle Eye sighting system, put the big tanks into the scope one by one! Rumble! A roar of orange-red flames flashed, and three seconds later, the hit chariots bounced almost on the spot as if they had been hit hard, and some of them seemed to have been torn apart by the hit.

Hao Wenbin, who was in the rear of the attack group, looked at the burning combat vehicles of the Yue Army and the flames that were constantly being hit, and nodded with satisfaction, at least 40 percent of the first-round hit rate, which was obviously a pretty good record at a distance of 1,500 meters.

Hao Wenbin was satisfied, Ohara Lijiang's jaw was about to fall to the ground, and he lost more than 30 chariots in one round? The troops are at least 1,300 meters away from the tanks in [***]? What kind of vehicle is the damned opponent using? This will certainly not be a Jackal light tank, and such a powerful armor-piercing projectile would have to be fired from a gun of at least a hundred millimeters.

Tojo Hideki also looked at the chariot that was constantly being shot and caught fire, Tojo Hideki didn't know that once the chariot was hit by a bullet and caught fire, the chance of survival of the crew members was only less than five percent, and the chance of survival was very low, especially the Type 95 tank was hit by a 100 mm caliber armor-piercing bullet as if it were torn, and the life probability of the members of the military vehicle crew in the car was almost zero, and the Type 95 light tank of the army became a burning iron can!

After the opponent's second round of salvo fire, Ohara Tachie issued an order to disperse the assault, because even the 47 mm tank gun equipped by the 95 reform has an effective penetration distance of 200 to 300 meters, and whether it is a 37 mm tank gun or a 47 mm tank gun equipped by the army, it is not aimed at the front main armor and turret of the jackal tank, but the side armor and tail armor of the hull.
