Many of the tanks in World War II were not very good.

This is a matter of course, but for this country, the army has a tank cluster, and those people in the army should burn high incense.

Because the iron and steel resources of this country are mainly used in the navy is a factor, and some high-ability scientific research talents are mainly concentrated in the navy and air force, which is also a very important factor.

And the most essential problem is that the company does not pay attention to the development of tanks.

In the early stage, the tank can basically be regarded as useless.

The gun is weak, the armor is thin, and the maneuverability is poor. These eight words are the truest portrayal of the early type of tank.

Of course, there is the factor that the opponent's strength is too weak, but it is more because the island country does not have too many resources to use on the "foodie" of the armored forces.

Although a tank does not use dozens of tons of steel, what is the point of just being taller than a tank?

And an armored cluster that does not have a few hundred tanks and combat vehicles, and a large number of armored vehicles and trucks?

Therefore, the armored clusters in World War II were at best two or three, and in terms of quantity, they were not enough for the Soviet Union to have a Guards Panzer Corps.

Not to mention the gap between the qualities.

When the Soviet Union sent troops to the Northeast and ruthlessly K the Kwantung Army, the Soviet Union's armored cluster was at least T-34/85, which was said to be a vulnerable 97-style change, so it is no wonder that the Kwantung Army was beaten by the Soviet Union's steel torrent.

The Type 97 tank is called the most successful tank of the Japanese army in World War II, not because of its superiority, but because it is the most installed tank in this series.

In fact, even if it is a ninety-seven type change, you have to face the No. 4 H-type, which is the part of being bullied.

Not to mention the tank destroyer No. 4 with 88mm-PAK41-L56 on board.

It is a fact that the fourth sister's 88 cannon is not very good at penetrating depth, but for a thin-skinned coffin like the 97 type, Zhang Shixin is quite worried that the 88 cannon with the worst penetration depth will also pierce these things.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin had to change his usual practice of seeing the opponent's tank and shooting after roughly aiming.

He ordered the gunner to use high-explosive shells for the turret and armor-piercing shells for the hull when facing the opposing tank.

In the past, Zhang Shixin has always used armor-piercing bullets as the main type of ammunition.

And if it weren't for the fact that there would be a problem of hitting and piercing in reality, Zhang Shixin would still use armor-piercing bullets as a standard bullet.

The Grizzly SP has no problem with this, as it focuses on high-explosive shells.

High-explosive shells have the advantage that they are extremely easy to detonate, which is determined by the principle of their shells.

For armor protection with a certain thickness and angle, the shell power of the Grizzly self-propelled assault gun is on the small side, but for the tank, even if it is a close-range sputter, as long as it is in the relatively effective killing range of the shock wave, it is also a catastrophe for the Type 97 tank.

There is no other reason, because the armor protection of the Type 97 tank is too weak.

Replaced by a high-explosive shell from a Grizzly Bear, it is highly likely that the Rat tank will not have anything to do at all.

The armor thickness of 240mm is not a papier-mâché data.

The problem is that the maximum thickness of the front armor of the Type 97 tank is 33mm, which is okay for blocking some small-caliber guns, and if it is replaced by an advanced anti-tank rifle, it is not a problem to penetrate at close range.

At the same time, the armor thickness of other parts of the Type 97 tank does not have this data, and the weakest one is only 5mm, and the theory is that as long as a machine gun is in the effective range, it can penetrate the data.

Therefore, on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, a considerable number of Type 97 tanks were damaged by machine guns, which is not a miracle, but more of a sorrow for the armored troops.

If you want to say a miracle, Zhang Shixin will smile and say: "You used the M2 heavy machine gun to pierce the front of Brother Mouse, this is a miracle." Hey. ”

Therefore, for some things being boasted about, Zhang Shixin can only say: "It's not [***]...... Ahem, it's wrong, it's not that we're too amazing, it's that the other party doesn't give it a try. ”

The 57mm tank gun of the 97-type is still a bit threatening to the No. 4H type, so Zhang Shixin did not plan to have a face-to-face fight with the other party, but continued to carry forward his tactical style - tank ambush.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

Zhang Shixin saw the army's Type 97 tank appear on the battlefield on the tactical map, compared the gap between the two sides, and came to a conclusion, that is, although it is a bit difficult to win, it is not impossible.

Zhang Shixin knew that he was not so much worried about the enemy on the ground as he was more worried about those army air units that were hiding in the clouds, or other troops who might appear over the battlefield at any time to provide support.

The air defense of the weapon carrier No. 4 was not too good, mainly because the 75mm magazine gun did not have enough fire density for aircraft in the sky.

Although it is said that an entire magazine can be wiped out in 15 seconds, it is an indisputable fact that the coverage density of the 75mm gun is a little smaller.

The most important thing about anti-aircraft artillery is not firepower or rate of fire, but anti-aircraft density, Zhang Shixin regretted his original decision, because he didn't know that his choice would make him fall into this situation.

In fact, if he had known that he would face such a situation, he would have preferred to choose twice as many Typhoon anti-aircraft tanks as Typhoon IV.

There are two types of guns to choose from, one is the original version of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun model, and the other is the quadruple 20mm rapid-fire anti-aircraft gun.

In terms of air defense capabilities, the field control capability of the 20mm quadruple anti-aircraft gun is better than that of the No. 4 weapon carrier, because its defense density is much better than that of the No. 4 weapon carrier.

Zhang Shixin regretted his original decision, because he fantasized about the air defense power of the No. 4 weapon carrier and ignored the important key to air defense operations.

As long as the 75mm gun hits the fuselage of those planes, it can easily kill the opponent in seconds, but the problem is that you can only hit it.

So Zhang Shixin regretted his decision quite a bit.

But now, everything is in vain.

Zhang Shixin can only focus on the battlefield,

……

The commander of the chariot wing did not believe that the army of China, which he had always despised, could easily defeat the troops of the two brigades.

According to his idea, even if there are more than a thousand pigs, if they want to be caught by those people, they will not be caught in 30 minutes.

So he swaggered and marched from the road.

Of course, he didn't know that some of the hidden areas on the road, some III/IV experimental tanks, had already relayed their situation to their comrades.

After the frontmost Type 97 tanks were about to approach 300 meters in front of the first ambush circle, dozens of high-explosive shells and armor-piercing shells were fired at them from behind the grass in different positions.

At the same time, the gunner of the Wild Bee self-propelled gun also pressed the electronic ignition button.

Of course, their target was not those tanks in the front row, but the ninety-seven tank platoon at the back of the tank wing two kilometers away.

said that his tank wing was actually a lightly armored mechanized unit, and Zhang Shixin also wanted to classify them as an armored unit, but the opponent's defense capability was too scummy.

In less than two seconds, the Type 97 tank formation in front of it was hit with fierce and incomparably fierce.

The turrets of three Type 97 tanks were even blown into shards of steel plates flying everywhere.

It is possible that the turrets of other tanks will fly out entirely, but for this tank, such a death is unlikely.

Because the turret of the tank is not welded or inlaid on, but is reinforced with buttons.

Therefore, after the tank was hit by a powerful shell, it was difficult for the turret to remain intact.

It's not uncommon for the whole thing to fly out, and the chance of this being much lower than the way the turret is scattered.

Surprised by the telescope of the front of the group, he ordered his troops to force a breakthrough quickly, because according to his assumptions, the number of enemies attacking them might not be many.

However, before he could finish his order, he suddenly heard a faint whistling sound in the sky.

"Large-caliber artillery!" This military lieutenant naturally knows what such a voice represents.

But he found that these voices had flown behind him, and suddenly realized something in his heart: "Suffer, the other party wants to annihilate us all!" ”

Zhang Shixin does have such thoughts, but he has not yet taken comprehensive action.

A few seconds later, he saw a series of unclear smoke rising from the queue at the back of his ranks.

"Yaga!" He knew that the situation at the back of the team was not very good.

The truth was as he expected.

The Type 97 tank that was directly hit by a 150mm grenade almost did not fall apart directly, some tanks that were close to the explosion range were also blown off the track or ignited the engine, and one Type 97 tank even fell on the bottom plate of the armor because the ammunition rack was damaged by the opponent's shell, and the whole tank was torn out of a large hole in the center and cracked.

From time to time, some armored soldiers who had not died directly were struggling to crawl out of the inside of the tank, and some mechanized infantry of the Japanese army on the trucks behind the team also took measures to save people......

However, they didn't expect that Zhang Shixin's shelling speed would be so fast again.

In less than 10 seconds, another wave of 150mm grenades landed in the area......

This time, it was not only metal chips that were lifted, but also debris of flesh and blood mixed with the dust and smoke......

After getting the fact that he was being hit by the fierce fire of an unknown unit behind him, he roared angrily: "Where did the people come from the large-caliber heavy artillery!?" ”

In fact, there was no such heavy artillery in China at that time, and the most advanced heavy artillery unit was formed only a year later, using 24 SFH18-150mm-L32 heavy artillery regiments.

It has to be said that the cooperation between Germany and China at that time was really quite sincere, and it can be seen from many aspects. Leaving aside a number of factors, the Sino-German alliance would not have been an impossible option had it not been for the fact that China's national power was really weak at the time, and that China's top leadership was relatively inclined towards Britain and the United States.

However, the current situation makes this military Zhongzuo quite helpless, the 150mm heavy gun actually has this firing speed, and he doesn't believe it, because such a firing speed is only the data that the naval guns of warships have.

He couldn't have imagined that Zhang Shixin's self-propelled artillery was a fully loaded shell, and the physical strength of the summoners was much better than that of ordinary soldiers, so the firing speed of ten second shots was not a problem.

Of course, this is only the reload rate, since the reloading of the self-propelled gun needs to be flattened, so the actual rate of fire is about 12-15 seconds.

This data is much better than the data in the game that is nearly 30 seconds per shot, and I have to say that the technology of the system has helped Zhang Shixin a lot.

……

While he was struggling with whether he should charge or retreat, or stay in place and wait for support and felt overwhelmed, Zhang Shixin saw the looming punctuation of the plane from the tactical map.

Zhang Shixin knew that it was time to start the second step of the general offensive plan.

Although only three or four waves of artillery bombardment have been fired so far, it has also made it difficult for the army to retreat from the original route in large numbers.

Because once China's roads are blown up, it will be difficult for tanks to move in many places.

"The whole army is attacking! Air defense forces pay attention to enemy aircraft! After Zhang Shixin gave this order in his mind, he let the driver also set off.

In fact, the tank troops that were constantly attacking the Type 97 tank queue in front were only the No. 4 tank destroyer and the Grizzly self-propelled assault gun, and Zhang Shixin ambushed the two Zhongtan teams in the depths of the woods on both sides of the other party.

After Zhang Shixin launched the general attack order, one tree after another was directly hit by the tank, and then a section of the trunk was directly rolled into a plank.

The sound of the trees falling to the ground and the roar of the tank's engines had scared away many animals on the outskirts of the trees.

"Watch out for the woods!" He hurriedly shouted.

However, the shells fired from the shadows of the woods were a more direct warning than his orders, because they had not received orders from the army and could only stand by in place.

The tanks and armored vehicles in the team, and even the troop transport trucks, were hit, and the 97 tanks of the Japanese army also began to counterattack, but there was no obvious target, and these attacks were more likely to destroy trees one by one.

He hated this situation, but he didn't have a better way.

He couldn't wait to strangle all the parts of Zhang Shixin, who was cowering in the woods.

If Zhang Shixin knew such a situation, he said speechlessly: "Who made you light up and stay in place and stay motionless?" I've never seen anything stupid like this......"

However, the next moment, Zhang Shixin had to order the troops to charge forcibly.

Because there were more than a dozen Type 96 land attacks in the sky, braving the barrage in the sky, constantly dropping 100-kilogram aerial bombs above the trees, Zhang Shixin, who did not want to be bombed on the spot, could only let the troops play close combat with the other side.

He also knew that it was not that those No. 4 weapon carriers were ineffective in air defense, but that they were completely unable to withstand this number of Type 96 land attacks.

The ten-round 75mm anti-aircraft guns were fired out in less than fifteen seconds, but the reloading speed took more than twenty seconds, and they were not fired together, which also reduced the anti-aircraft fire a lot.

But Zhang Shixin did not regret his order to let half of the No. 4 weapon carrier be fired, and half was on standby or loaded.

Because he knew very well that if he had let these weapons carriers fire shells together, he would have died more quickly.

In fact, the pilots of the No. 4 weapon carrier were not blind, and the anti-aircraft artillery position of the No. 4 weapon carrier vehicle had already been discovered by them, and there were also six Type 96 land attack planes that wanted to destroy these No. 4 weapon carriers, but after being blown up by a dozen or so standby No. 4 weapon carrier vehicles with a magazine shell, one of them was also hurriedly climbing, the belly of the plane was directly hit by a 75mm shell, and they tried to fly in the direction of Chengde with black smoke, but after the volley fell apart, the other Type 96 land attacks could only give up this plan.

The density of the enemy's anti-aircraft fire is not very good, but it is not something that a thin-skinned medium bomber like them can resist.

The effective firing height of the 75mm anti-aircraft gun is about 3,000 meters, which is quite good, but Zhang Shixin does not expect too much from such a range to bring the hit rate.

Therefore, in the face of the Type 96 land attack that kept throwing bombs overhead, Zhang Shixin was itching with hatred, and he finally felt the pressure of not having air supremacy.

In fact, because of the existence of the No. 4 weapon carrier, the other side was forced to drop bombs at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and I am afraid that Zhang Shixin might have to hang here after a round of carpet bombing.

Because those 75mm shells are too much of a threat to them.

Those pilots saw very clearly, even if it was not an important position, these Type 96 land attacks did not end up falling apart, and they were all counted.

In fact, the threat of the No. 4 weapon carrier as an anti-aircraft gun is that it can carry a relatively large caliber anti-aircraft gun.

Zhang Shixin didn't know this, and was still complaining, and Sinya's heart was quite speechless.

If it were replaced by a larger number of "typhoons," these Type 96 land attacks would definitely dare to eat Zhang Shixin's heart, instead of doing something that did not make much sense like high-altitude bombing.

Compared with this situation, Zhang Shixin's troops finally met with the chariot wing that had been beaten with heavy casualties.

He was surprised that these enemies were actually carrying long-barreled guns, and the caliber looked much larger than their 57mm guns.

As for the maneuver, the opponent's larger tanks are relatively slow, but the smaller tanks are quite fast, and this is still the speed of off-road.

The other party's ability to protect ...... Well, he saw his own gunner bombarding the opponent's turret, and the other party just paused and continued to fire.

"Nani ??" The surprise of the military Zhongzuo directly appeared in his stunned expression......

The No. 4H and III/IV experimental tanks, which appeared in a steady stream, became the protagonists of this battle.

Zhang Shixin naturally didn't care about such a trivial matter, he kept cursing the ninety-six type land attack in the sky: "It's amazing that you can fly!! ”

Because the No. 4H tank that Zhang Shixin was sitting on was stuck in a bomb crater that had been blown out, the driver was constantly stepping on the accelerator, hoping to drive the tank out of the crater.

Well, someone who is mad and mad will leave it alone......

……

After some torture and getting the information she wanted, a sturdy girl in a short jacket looked at the direction where Zhang Shixin's troops were located, thoughtful...... (To be continued.) )
