Chapter 578: Paratrooper Fighting Vehicle VS Japanese Tank
"Boom!"
In a flash of black light, a sharp and long shell slammed into a small devil Type 97 medium tank a thousand meters away with an initial velocity close to four times the speed of sound, easily piercing the seemingly thick armor, and the hot and viscous metal jet swept through the narrow internal space of the hull like an iron broom, and most of the crew members were torn to pieces before they had time to let out half a scream.
"Boom!" The whole tank seemed to have been cut off by someone, and the entire turret broke free from the body and flew high, pulling out a black and red pillar of fire that rolled and rolled in mid-air, and only after a while did it fall with a bang, smashing a large hole in the ground.
"Yaga, it's another damn armor-piercing bullet!"
Ikeda roared angrily as he looked at the dead tank, which was already the seventh tank his brigade had lost. As for those armored vehicles that burned to the point of hot iron or something, he didn't bother to look at them, anyway, the brigade suffered heavy losses, the leadership was very angry, and the consequences were serious. Ikeda Nakasa's heart was so depressed, he really doubted that there was anyone in this world who was more unlucky than him!
Originally, the mission of Ikeda's brigade was to set up an ambush in the area of the Mashi Bridge, a bridge that could pass more than 40 tons of vehicles, with a span of more than 70 meters, and below it was a large river 58 meters wide and 2 meters deep.
Ikeda Nakasa's energetic deployment of troops was ready to give the Chinese army a little color. His Excellency the division commander specially sent him an anti-tank infantry brigade and a regiment of the Indonesian Imperial Army. Help him fight this battle. Knowing the hard work of the division commander, Ikeda gladly accepted the anti-tank infantry and the Indonesian monkeys who had no shoes to wear. With those Indonesian monkeys in front of you, it will be much easier to fight, and of course, it would be more perfect if you could find an opportunity to be friendly with those first-class Indonesian "female soldiers".
However, reality gave him a blow. The bad thing is bad for these Indonesians.
The troops were not fully prepared. An infantry fighting vehicle of the Chinese army drove over with a swagger. It's just a parachute infantry fighting vehicle with armor thinner than window paper, and it's a trivial matter, just let it go. Nakasa ordered that no fire should be fired, so as not to expose the target. Alarmed the big fish in the back. It deserves to be a veteran powerhouse. The main division in active service. The discipline was strict, and the superiors said that they were not allowed to fire, and no one in the entire brigade was greedy to attack this piece of incense bait. Nakasa Ikeda is satisfied! It's just that he is very dissatisfied with the performance of the Indonesians, originally, veterans like them who have rolled several times in the Ghost Gate Pass will not understand the simplest truth of throwing bricks and attracting jade, but when they saw the blue dragon emblem sprayed on the body of this chariot, the Indonesians of the entire regiment were all red-eyed.
And this tank did not know whether to live or die under their noses, round and round, and finally ran a magnetic anti-tank mine! Magnetic anti-tank mines have shined in World War II, and are indispensable anti-tank weapons for infantry on the European battlefield, not weak, easy to use, as long as you don't have too bad eyesight, and throw the mine on the tank, it will be like a kraft candy firmly sucked on the tank, and it explodes, as for whether it can blow up the tank, it depends on luck.
Originally, Japan in history did not pay attention to the renewal of the army's equipment, so that the Japanese army could only fight the enemy with a desperate bushido spirit. In China, the Japanese army is ruthless, and when it comes to the Pacific theater, it will be out of the ocean, and the best tanks will fight every time, and whoever fights who will fight the European garbage Sherman, the Taijun carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, not afraid of death, and not afraid of going to the sea to feed Wang Ba, carrying the submachine guns of the American soldiers, and using mortars to bombard the howitzer groups of the US army, creating a "miracle", as far as their domestic propaganda is concerned, but the Taijun fought hard, more than a dozen people fought hard, and this battle was simply impossible to fight.
This is nothing, the most fatal thing is that the treacherous old Maozi brazenly dispatched an army of 1.5 million, and the armored torrent swept through the northeast, beating the Kwantung Army to the north, and hundreds of thousands of strictly trained soldiers were pulled to Siberia to open up the wasteland. The swarm of tanks that rushed over like a rising tide finally made the emperor's samurai understand a truth: magnetic anti-tank mines are really human! If there was this, they wouldn't have to send so many soldiers to be meat bombs, full of explosives and end up with Lao Maozi's tank!
At this time, Japan did have a lot of such anti-tank mines that were prevalent on the European battlefield. In order to deal with China's famous armored forces, Japan has even equipped some Indonesian imperial army with many of these magnetic anti-tank mines. It is to let them create some trouble for China's armored forces at a critical moment.
At this time, the hand-thrown magnetic anti-tank mine was powerful and blew up a combat vehicle of the Chinese army. This also caused a chain reaction, the nearest Japanese soldiers, seeing the explosion of the armored car, there was really nothing to be polite, those Japanese soldiers rushed out with red eyes, they wanted to capture this car crew, cut off the limbs of these Chinese soldiers, and make them regret for the rest of their lives why they came to Indonesia!
This time it was a mess, they did succeed in killing and injuring at least three Chinese soldiers, but their own losses were not small, and what was even worse was that the gunfire attracted the follow-up Chinese paratroopers to advance, this time it was miserable, and the combat attempt was probably exposed in advance!
Ikeda broke out in a cold sweat at the sight of the Commander of the Funashi Division, and even worse, when he heard that His Excellency the Commander of the Division had a dragon impotence, Ikeda had a premonition that his cheeks were about to suffer. Seeing that the Chinese army did not have many tanks, Ikeda quickly ordered the troops to rush out, saying that he would also destroy a few tanks of the Chinese army, otherwise he would have to bloom with both faces! More than 20 little devil Type 97 tanks of the entire brigade were slaughtered out with great momentum, and a rather fierce armored battle broke out with this important bridge as the center.
When Ikeda gave the order, he hated those Indonesian monkeys to death. If it weren't for the magnetic anti-tank mines they dropped, the nearest Japanese troops wouldn't have rushed out. At the same time, Ikeda also made a decision that if he had a chance to go back, he would crush the Indonesian monkeys one by one and use his own chariot.
The vanguard of the Chinese paratroopers who arrived first was at a disadvantage with only six tanks, and Ikeda was still very confident that he could eat such a force. However, when the first armor-piercing warheads were blocked by reactive armor, he could no longer laugh.
Don't look at the Chinese paratrooper fighting vehicle, it is a light tank with a total combat weight of only 112 tons, according to the Chinese tradition, but it has rough skin and thick flesh. Don't look at the Japanese Type 97 tank, the full combat weight is about the same as the paratrooper fighting vehicle, but in terms of defense, the Type 97 tank of small Japan is not enough at all.
The Little Devil Type 97 medium tank was powerless in previous battles, and its armor-piercing ability was far from the extent of tearing the frontal armor of the tank of the tank, while the perverted 75mm high-pressure smoothbore gun of the paratrooper tank was easy to cut through the armor of the Type 97.
A cannonball fire meteor came into the air, a little devil type 97 tank that was releasing aerosol fog shook heavily, in the piercing hiss of the shell through the armor, the front armor of the tank was punched out of a hole the size of a plate, the flames with a temperature of several thousand degrees erupted from the inside of the hull like magma, the metal jet ruthlessly burned through the ammunition compartment, dozens of shells exploded like a string of extra-large firecrackers, and the hull trembled, twisted, and split in the balls of fireballs rising one after another. Unrecognizable.
The entire brigade was stunned by this horrific scene, and could not react for three full seconds! This paratrooper tank unit was unforgiving, "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "In a few shots, at least three tanks were turned into fireballs, and once again the fact of blood proved to the world that Chinese tanks are not easy to mess with!
Even the latest improved version of the Little Devil Type 97 can't afford to stand a single shot, and those armored vehicles are even worse, a bombardment comes over, smashing it is as simple as smashing an egg, just in the blink of an eye, there are many more fireballs in the position of Ikeda's brigade, and the tanks of the Chinese army, only one of them has been broken with two load-bearing wheels. With such a disparity in strength, Ikeda's brigade was also in disarray, some of the crews began to retreat, and the few Chinese tanks rushed to the bridge desperately, and they wanted to occupy the bridge!
Several armed jeeps rushed forward, and more than a dozen anti-tank rocket launchers shot out one after another, like bloodthirsty fire snakes, licking at the paratrooper tanks that rushed over.
"Damn, it's anti-tank rocket artillery!" All the officers and men of Ikeda's brigade clearly saw that the turret of the tank rushing to the front was hit by two rocket launchers at the same time, and it was directly blown into parts, and the second vehicle urgently released a smoke screen, and it was impossible to see its condition, which must have been no better.
After a blinding flash of white light, the tank burst into flames, but it did not slow down, ramming the first tank hard, pushing it down the river so that it would not block its path. The paratrooper tanks behind were furious, and turned their guns to aim at the hateful jeeps, and the muzzles erupted into huge fireballs, and these fast-running jeeps flew into the air like clouds!
Ikeda Nakasa gasped and shouted, "Sapper, detonate the explosives and blow up this bridge!" Detonate the explosives and blow up the bridge! (To be continued......)
