Guarding the Pyongyang frontline highway is the 71st Tank Wing of the 151st Tank Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which has a total of 20 tank squadrons and 5 tank squadrons directly under the team headquarters and tank brigades, with 600 combat personnel, 92 tanks, and 26 armored vehicles.

Its tanks are divided into two types, one is the Type 4 tank, equipped with 32 units, and the other is Japan's most advanced Type 5 tank, equipped with 60 units.

The Type 5 was piloted by a crew of three and was shorter and heavier than its predecessor, the Type 4. In terms of firepower, the Type 5 tank was armed with a 105 mm smoothbore gun, an American-made Brown 12.7 mm machine gun and a 7.62 mm light machine gun on the turret.

If it had been two years ago, the Japanese would not have dared to think of such a chariot division. But now, the Kwantung Army has equipped no less than ten such divisions, and all of them are still organized on the scale of Class A divisions. The combat effectiveness is very strong.

Shiro Hirata, the wing commander of the 71st Tank Wing, had been fighting all night ahead, and when his eyes opened, he immediately received an order from inside the city of Pyongyang.

"In the Pingtian Wing, about three kilometers away in the area of Niulangou, there was a tank unit of the Chinese Army, which was organized into about one battalion, with sixteen tanks and four armored vehicles. The tank model is the Chinese Tiger main battle tank. It may be a reconnaissance or vanguard unit, please go out to the area of the cow's neck to block it! ”

When Heishiro heard this, he was so excited that the mustache on his mouth was also trembling, and he said to the other two with a happy brow:

"The tank unit of about a battalion of the Chinese Army dispatched sixteen Tiger King tanks. Four armored transport vehicles, rushing to our side, are suspected to be the vanguard of the Shina tank cluster! Assemble Hirata United and face it right away! At the same time, a notice was issued to the 4th Mixed Brigade to assist in the offensive defense, asking it to provide support from at least one brigade! ”

As the first 151st Tank Division of the Kwantung Army's newly formed tank division to be equipped with the latest main battle tanks, Shiro Hirata has always been proud. He no longer knows how many times he fantasized about the scene of the battle with the Chinese tank unit. Even in my dreams, I often fight with Chinese tanks.

However, fantasy is fantasy, and dreaming is also dreaming, when something that has been long-awaited suddenly appears. Excitement is human.

The tank company of the Japanese Kwantung Army quickly approached Huang Yisheng's reinforced platoon. This unexpected situation was quickly reported by the battalion headquarters:

"Huang Yisheng, you are on the upper right, about 2,800 meters. 23 tanks appeared. 6 armored vehicles. According to the analysis of the data, it should be a brigade of the 71st Tank Wing of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Hurry back to our line of control! ”

Huang Yisheng piloted China's King Tiger tank, through an on-board optical sight. Capable of striking tank targets at a distance of about 1,500 meters.

Soon he saw that the Japanese Kwantung Army was in three formations, outflanking him, if nothing else, the upper right team of the Self-Defense Forces was intercepting, the right team was attacking, and the lower right team was coming to block his retreat, and the distance of 2,800 meters would only take a few minutes.

If you want to get rid of the outflanking of the Japanese Kwantung Army with the Chinese King Tiger tank, it is a pediatric matter, and in terms of speed, the Japanese Type 5 tank is still a little worse. However, for Shangfeng's order, Huang Yisheng also knew that now was not the time to fight hard with Japanese tanks.

Huang Yisheng scolded: "XXX (everyone thinks) little Japan, I won't beat you, you will send it to the door." However, I don't have time to play with you today!

"Armored car, turn left, hide towards the basin reservoir area, tank cover!" Anyway, he accelerated to turn left, his plan was to turn left first, and then retreat to the controlled area while taking cover.

But Heishiro would not easily let go of the fat in front of him, the tanks of China and Japan have not yet competed well, and Heishiro has long held his breath.

Huang Yisheng found that the tanks of the Kwantung Army were like flies that could not be shaken off, and they also accelerated to keep up.

"The 1st Company called, I was outflanked by a tank organized by a brigade of the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Ganchashan area, and asked for support from the battalion headquarters, and our company has retreated towards the area of the basin reservoir!"

Lin Sen, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 89th Division Armored Regiment of the Chinese Second Group Army, received Huang Yisheng's request for support and immediately notified the advancing 2nd Company in the Hugang Expressway to provide support to the reinforced platoon.

The tank troops of the second battalion and the second company quickly crossed the Hugang Expressway and advanced to the basin to support!

Huang Yisheng's 16 Type 5 tanks have retreated to the foot of the basin mountain, and the latest main battle tank, the Chinese army's pride, is adjusting its direction.

One of Huang Yisheng's friends turned on the laser stun jamming device, which was the signal for the attack.

The first-generation "Divine Eye" two-way stabilized destroyer assist assists gunners in aiming at high-speed moving Japanese tank targets and starting to attack.

With a loud "boom", a 125-mm tank gun, like a wild horse, rushed towards the Kwantung Army's Type 5 tank 1,000 meters away.

This seems to be an extremely ordinary shot, but it has extraordinary significance!

The Chinese 125 mm tank gun can penetrate 200 mm of homogeneous armor at a distance of 1,000 meters, no matter how powerful the Japanese Type 5 tank armor is. No matter how thick the armor is, it doesn't work.

The tank gun lifted off the thickened frontal armor of the Japanese tank, and the huge kinetic energy made the Japanese Type 5 tank suddenly change the speed from 50 km/h to 0, and one rolled over and collapsed on the side of the road. The occupants of the car were unprepared and crashed into the control panel of the car, and the driver in front of him was covered in blood and fainted.

To the surprise of all other tank soldiers of the Eastern Army, the Japanese Type 5 tank, which was claimed to have squeezed into the world's first-class, was overturned on the side of the road by a tank gun, which can be regarded as an eye-opener for the world.

The other 18 Type 5 and 4 Type 4 guns of the Japanese Kwantung Army, including 105 mm 45 times the caliber smoothbore guns, began to counterattack the Chinese tanks. However, a small number of personnel were affected by the laser glare suppression jamming device, and were unable to effectively aim at all. Even if there is no interference from bright light. These Japanese armored soldiers also had no way to accurately hit the target at a distance of one thousand meters. Unless they also install sights and preliminary sighting aids.

At the same time, the Type 5 Japanese tanks exchanged information with the control center through the internal radio of the tank, and the command post of the 71 Tank Wing, after receiving the information, a large-scale Chinese tank had already moved here. The 71st Tank Wing of the Japanese Kwantung Army also began to be fully mobilized. and sent a request for air support to the command.

After aiming at the new target, Huang Yisheng fired another armor-piercing bullet, but it didn't hit. Angry and scolded:

"The bullshit hits 69 percent. This is also too XX lucky, at a critical time, these 31% have been met by me! ”

Another Chinese Tiger tank was maneuvering at high speed, and not a single shell landed on his head. And this tank has already pointed the barrel at the target. The Type 4 tank that was being targeted seemed to slow down. Originally. Although Huang Yisheng's attack just now did not hit the tank. But it also exploded at close range, so that the armored troops in this tank lost effective control of the tank for a short time.

Such an opportunity. How to let it go, the commander of this tank immediately ordered the gunner: "Gunner - twelve o'clock - armor-piercing shells - 1100 - elimination!" ”

The Type 4 tank, which had slowed down at a reduced speed, was hit by a 125mm tank gun, and suddenly, the shell went straight through the external protective armor and the armor of the tank itself, and shot into the interior of the Type 4, causing a huge explosion.

Immediately after that, next to the Japanese Type 4 tank, which had been destroyed, another Type 5 tank was also damaged, and it was also quickly hit by two shells, the first one stripped off the frontal armor, and the other followed, and in an instant, the originally intact Type 5 tank turned into a burning fireball.

And the Japanese counterattack was not without a hit rate at all, but the Japanese found that the 105-caliber guns they were proud of could not penetrate the Chinese tanks head-on.

A 105-mm shell rushed towards the tank, but fortunately, the driver of the King Tiger tank reacted in time and made an emergency left turn, and the shell hit the front from the diagonal side.

The Chinese tank, which was originally carried out along the slope, was attacked by two shells, and after the tank was shocked, some metal powder fell out of the car, and a small fire was caused by a short circuit in a wire, but fortunately, the car was equipped with a high-efficiency automatic fire extinguishing/explosion suppression device, and in less than five milliseconds, the fire that could cause an explosion would be extinguished.

However, for the tanks of small Japan, it seems to be a god of decline. On the horizon, one Chinese tank after another appeared in the eyes of the 151st Division. The tank unit that appeared in the eyes of the 71 Wing was nothing more than a vanguard unit.

"Gentlemen, take your place, welcome!" Heishiro looked fiercely at the Chinese tank, which was getting closer and closer, and shouted, perhaps, shouting loudly would reduce his annoyance.

A battle, this escalation!

"Attack, the tank company is moving at full speed and crushing towards the little devil."

After Huang Yisheng received the news of the arrival of the large army, he decided to push the company forward, he knew that if he retreated, he would avoid sacrifice, but the word retreat was the two most taboo words in the armored division. If it is pushed forward, it will bring casualties and losses, but they are glorious, it is for the motherland, not to mention, this is the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, a person's life, sometimes, the opportunity is just one or two times, lost, never come back, besides, not even fighting, no one knows what the result is, what are you afraid of?

At this moment, the order of the regimental headquarters has come down, and the whole regiment will attack!

The Japanese Kwantung Army tank company and the Kwantung Army infantry on the optical sight were ready to take precautions, and after Huang Yisheng turned a low hill, the entire company formed a wave formation under the roadbed less than 1 meter above the ground.

With a distance of more than 1,200 meters, both sides can already see each other with the naked eye.

Huang Yisheng said to himself:

"On the opposite side is the tanks of Little Japan, and the infantry, looking at the outfit, it should be the elite troops of the Kwantung Army. So, all of them, attack! ”

Huang Yisheng even put on a posture, and he also commanded a Chinese King Tiger tank, in the entire company, his King Tiger rushed to the front, this is the military commander, on the battlefield, must take the lead, set an example, in order to stimulate morale.

Both sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, they didn't say a word, only one looked at each other, and began to attack, for a while, artillery shells flew, and both Chinese soldiers and Japanese Kwantung Army soldiers were trying their best to tear and kill.

The tank company immediately fired 125 mm tail stabilized armor-piercing shells and 125 cm high-pressure smoothbore tank armor-piercing shells, and six shells were fired at their respective targets. There were 3 tanks of the Japanese Kwantung Army hit, two of which were hit by two shells, and only one missed, Huang Yisheng still had time to nod with satisfaction:

"Boys, kill the beauty, fight hard, and destroy this class of dogs!"

Japanese tanks also fired 105 mm caliber 45 times smoothbore multi-purpose armor-piercing shells and 88 mm tail stabilized armor-piercing shells, and 11 shells returned fire at Chinese tanks.

The hull of the vehicle that was hit was suddenly shaken, and the Chinese tank was slightly better and withstood the first round of attacks. But the last two Type 4s of the Japanese Kwantung Army were unlucky. has been beaten on the road, and he didn't have to move, but he was able to beat these two four-style people on the front, it seems. Firepower of Chinese tanks. It's still fierce.

After the first round of shooting. The tanks of both sides began to maneuver at an accelerated pace, and only high-speed movement could reduce the possibility of being hit by the opposing side. Next. It is to use their respective tactics to find opportunities to destroy the enemy.

At this time, there were still 18 Chinese tanks, although 8 of them had varying degrees of scars, but the other party's tanks were not comfortable, and the Japanese Kwantung Army only had 17 Type 5 tanks and 3 armored vehicles (if the Japanese Kwantung Army really planned to use thin-skinned armored vehicles to deal with tanks, then let it come to find death).

In this skirmish, it is not clear which side has achieved a clear advantage, but, obviously, the Chinese tanks broke their numerical disadvantage in the previous round of fire. However, the real battles are already unfolding, and the battles are no longer limited to skirmishes.

The three tank regiments, armored infantry battalions, self-propelled artillery battalions, and self-propelled anti-aircraft companies of the 89th Panzer Division, as well as the various divisions of the 151st Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and the two infantry brigades of the 4th Mixed Brigade have become entangled.

Huang Yisheng's tank company was divided into six groups, with two King Tiger vehicles covering each other, and the last group was a group of wounded tanks covering each other. In a battle with Japanese tanks, both sides avoided exposing their vulnerable sides, and with the frontal armor, they could still carry one or two guns.

But that was for China, because even if the Type 5 tank was hit head-on, it would definitely die.

Company commander Huang Yisheng not only has to command the entire tank company to carry out coordinated operations, but at the same time, he is also the commander of the vehicle, and he also has to command his own vehicle to conduct operations and find opportunities to strike at the targets in the phase.

Huang Yisheng's six groups of tanks were spaced almost 100 meters apart, and the two vehicles in the group were separated by more than 50 meters to reduce the chance of enemy fire. They had maneuvered to the side of a low hill, with some shallow pits and small woods, and the combat base was ideal.

"Prepare for the attack! One row, two rows, wedge formation, forward! Three rows, horizontal lines, forward! ”

The driver, Xiao Liu, drove the tank into a hollow, exposing only the turret to reduce the exposed frontal area.

Next, through the hunting and destroying fire control device, Huang Yisheng found his target, which was a Japanese Type 5 tank, and after aiming, he immediately shouted:

"Oriole, a little, armor-piercing shells, 800, eliminate!"

The gunner quickly found his target with a more accurate aiming system than the commander, and an anti-tank gun entered the firing system through an automatic loader, and the gunner pressed a button.

An armor-piercing bullet hit the target directly, and after 1 second, a Kwantung Army Type 5 tank in the direction of 1 o'clock suddenly slowed down, Huang Yisheng confirmed the result, it must have been hit, and the actual damage of the other party is not clear.

The Japanese Kwantung Army does not seem to be vegetarian, and with the coordination of infantry, it is counterattacking.

Two anti-tank guns hit a King Tiger tank in a row at the same time, and the driver of the car may have lost control of the vehicle, because Huang Yisheng saw that the tank did not make any evasion after being shot, and drove straight to the left.

At this moment, another anti-tank rocket launcher jumped out of the position of the Kwantung Army and directly hit the Chinese King Tiger tank, which was temporarily out of control. The tank gradually stopped, and it was estimated that it was badly damaged.

"Commander, operate a machine gun, shoot infantry!"

After the second round of firing between Huang Yisheng Company and the Hirata Wing of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese side lost two tanks and the Chinese side one. Huang Yisheng commanded the driver to take advantage of the terrain to maneuver quickly, only at high speed, to ensure safety, he has found another target, a Type 5 Japanese tank at this critical time, in order to avoid a boulder, turned a corner.

Operating the turret, the gunner fired another shell at this target. This cannon is quite accurate.

Directly hit the opponent's side, and the armor-piercing bullet was shot directly into the opponent's car, in this case, even the gods could not save it.

At the end of the second round of attacks, Huang Yisheng's company gained the advantage, he still had 9 tanks to fight, while the opponent's main tank had only 6 left, plus two armored vehicles and an infantry company.

The tanks of the 2nd Company of the 2nd Tank Battalion of the Armored Regiment immediately shouted through the communication system:

"Kill the Japanese devils!"

The vast majority of Chinese have a special hatred for the past invaders from the bottom of their bones. This hatred. It has nothing to do with nation, faith, or world view, and it is a century-old feud.

For the commanders and fighters of the Chinese army at all levels, it is a very happy thing to be able to beat up the Japanese devils in their lifetime. This kind of opportunity. You have to cherish it.

The entire tank unit burst into high enthusiasm for battle in an instant. 9 Chinese King Tiger tanks, delivered the final blow to 6 Japanese tanks.

Huang Yisheng advanced in 1 row, and the 2nd and 3rd rows were arranged in a formation with two wings. Greeted directly.

Heishiro's 6 tanks attacked in a wave-like formation, but in fact, in a company-level battle, the formation was not the main thing, but the skill of the personnel, the performance of the tank, and the spirit of fighting were the key. Both companies were very red-eyed, and as soon as they took aim, they began to fire all kinds of shells.

Huang Yisheng ordered the gunner to fire a shot at a Self-Defense Force tank in the middle, and then, Heishiro's tank was hit, in the first two rounds of fighting, his tank had lost the thickened armor on the front, this time, the turret was grazed by a shell, almost lifting the entire turret, of course, just almost, the turret was still hanging on it, note that it was hanging.

The violent vibration made the big sa dizzy, and he endured the discomfort of his body, and Heishiro looked up, and the turret had been pushed to the side, and the sunlight shone through the gap into the inside of the tank.

The wires between the turret and the hull were torn off, and it was completely inoperable, and Heishiro was desperate!

He shouted hysterically, grabbed a submachine gun, got out of the car with his upper body, pulled the trigger, and fired at the Chinese tank with all his might......

Huang Yisheng saw this scene from the aiming system, and he still smiled indifferently: Little Japan, that's all there is to it?

He climbed out of the car, wielded a side-by-side machine gun, and fired heavily at Heishiro's upper part.

"Da Da Da!" Countless machine gun bullets smashed Heishiro's upper body to shreds, and his remaining body fell back into the tank, his face was particularly hideous and terrifying, frightening the two armored soldiers inside to shout "ahhh

However, the Japanese went crazy, and Huang Yisheng also suffered a lot of losses, although the Chinese tanks had a strong advantage in numbers and overall performance, they still lost eight tanks (one of which had a broken track) before they achieved the result of destroying all the remaining tanks of the Hirata Wing.

On the entire front, the collision between China's King Tiger tank and Japan's latest main battle tank is in full swing. This time China completely shattered the so-called pride of Japan, because in front of the Chinese tanks, they could not please at all.

Even the specially thickened front armor could not stop the Chinese tank guns. And they had to hit at least two shells in a row to destroy the Chinese tank.

Although Japan's Type 4 and Type 5 tanks really have a place in the world, they are simply not enough to see in front of China. However, as Japan, which focuses on naval development, is already very good to be able to come up with an advanced land combat weapon.

At this time, Tada Jun was very entangled, and in the absence of air supremacy, he did not even dare to launch a large-scale artillery. Because in the sky, Chinese fighters are conducting reconnaissance all the time. He has reason to believe that if he takes out the artillery himself, the result will be that under the blow of the Chinese Air Force, it will become a pile of scrap metal.

It stands to reason that the Soviet-Japanese coalition forces in the northeast are also very strong, but they are not willing to use this force when they have already attacked Pyongyang in China. In this, Tada Jun didn't have any complaints, because he knew a lot, so he didn't complain.

Anyway, his main task now is to hold back the Chinese troops attacking North Korea, exchange space for time, and anyway, he can't let China quickly occupy North Korea.

Tada Jun, who originally had a little confidence in this mission, received the news that the 151st Tank Division had been completely annihilated, and his heart felt like he had overturned the five-flavor bottle, and he had all the tastes.

The tank is not originally a defensive force, the mission of the tank is to attack and attack. Originally, the performance of the new tank could create some trouble for China. However, a division and a few hundred tanks are gone. This makes Tada Jun, how can he feel better.

Moreover, the destruction of the chariot division means that the large Chinese army can drive straight into Pyongyang and attack Pyongyang directly. (To be continued......)
