Before the main text, let's talk about the setting of the piercable objects in the game.

This is a satellite that went to the sky a long time ago, but well, for the game, a series of data that is penetrated and cut by 25mm, which is normal.

But in reality, this is not feasible.

For example, an armor-piercing bullet pierced through the front and rear windows, and the penetration depth reduction was negligible.

However, if that shell hits the engine of a car, it will be difficult to penetrate the whole car.

Especially if the propeller shaft is hit, if a whole pipe can penetrate horizontally, such a thing cannot be done with the current tank guns.

Similarly, if the exterior wall of a house is hit by a cannonball, it is more about the angle than the depth of the shell. The more remote the angle of entry, the more difficult it is for the shell to penetrate the wall.

Because in many cases, the wall still has "armor equivalence", that is, a change in thickness.

Therefore, this book will take a more flexible approach to such a phenomenon.

I wrote so much, mainly because I thought of a problem, that is, the shells that pierced too deep against the thin-skinned things of the book are really likely to break down and not hurt. It's like in reality, a high-piercing shell hit the right side of the shield of the C-type self-propelled gun No. 4, but in fact, the shell flew away......

Here's the text......

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

The battle at Xifengkou was not like in history, with only two infantry brigades launching an early attack.

It is said that an infantry brigade is about 5,000 to 10,000 people, and this main distinction is the level of divisions and regiments.

Separate brigades are not for nothing, but there are rather few examples of this. Because that thing is called a mixed brigade regiment, in fact, it is a division that is not satisfied with the establishment.

Therefore, the number of brigades of the A division is a little larger, and a brigade of a permanent division has 10,000 people, and the equipment is good. The brigades of other subdivisions are generally more than 5,000 people, and their equipment is much worse than that of the first division.

This is not a qualitative gap between equipment, but a quantitative gap.

There is a saying that the firepower of the A division is better than the firepower of the two armies of the regular army of the ordinary National Revolutionary Army. That's the case.

So in a sense, in the early stage, the A division can be regarded as a military-level scale.

The Hattori Brigade and the Suzuki Brigade that attacked the Kimine Pass in history were in fact the predecessors of the Reading Mixed Brigade, because they belonged directly to the Kwantung Army and did not have a superior brigade.

Therefore, the total number of these two brigades that attacked Xifengkou in history should be about 15,000.

As for General Zhao Dengyu's troops defending Xifengkou, there was only one division, that is, between 8,000 and 10,000 troops. In the beginning, there was only one brigade of troops on the defensive.

Therefore, although the battle of Xifengkou was still lost in the end, it was a rare disadvantage and the battle stalemate.

Merely......

History has turned a corner here.

In addition to these two infantry brigades, the army attacking Xifengkou actually had three chariot wings equipped with Type 97 tanks.

A tank wing is about equal to the number of an armored brigade, in fact, Zhang Shixin killed him and he didn't believe that he actually had hundreds of Type 97 tanks installed now, because this is quite unscientific.

In a word, the comparison between the army and the navy is the comparison between the rich and the rich.

As for the Air Force?

It is said that the air force that did not have the ability to read in World War II was the same as the Americans, and some only had army air forces and naval air forces.

It can be seen that the most famous Zero fighter is a carrier-based fighter rather than a land attack aircraft.

So Zhang Shixin, who was hidden in a valley, was quite speechless after receiving a report of a III/IV experimental tank.

Because from many points of view, the tanks of the Yue Army, both in quality and quantity, are quite unpleasant.

Now it's not just that there is such a thing as a Type 97 tank, but it's still this number, Zhang Shixin has a feeling that he is quite speechless.

But no matter what, the other party has not launched today's offensive yet, and Zhang Shixin still has time to prepare.

……

Rather than preparation, in fact, Zhang Shixin was quite helpless about this kind of terrain, because the terrain of this battlefield is quite complicated. Since there are mountains and rivers, there are also a considerable number of forests.

If this was mainly a plain, Zhang Shixin would have let his troops run over it a long time ago.

Because apart from those planes, just by virtue of my own gadgets, it is like blocking the No. 4 tank mixed group, dreaming.

The Type 97 tank has a 37mm gun and is a bit interesting, but this thing can penetrate the front of the No. 4 late-stage tank up to 80mm thick?

Not only is the opposing chariot wing quite scum, but even the firepower of those two brigades is not very good.

As for the large-caliber howitzer, Zhang Shixin doesn't know if it is equipped or not, but it is obvious that even if it has been installed, it will not be equipped by two reading brigades.

Zhang Shixin is quite aware of this, so in Zhang Shixin's eyes, his troops are like a group of scum with a combat effectiveness of 5 to his armored troops.

However, the accuracy of the infantry marksmanship is a problem.

Springfield-style PK 38 big cover, the two are mutually winning.

However, although the surname of M1918 is not as good as that of M2, it is still not a big problem to suppress the Type 92 heavy machine gun of Yue.

As for automatic fire...... The gap between his crooked handle and M1918Bar is quite obvious, and it can be said that Zhang Shixin's troops are quite far ahead of the Yue army in terms of both the quantity and quality of weapons.

But Zhang Shixin found that he had been ignoring a problem, that is, the armor of the army chariot was too weak, and if it hit the hull, there would be no problem, but if the turret was hit, the AP shells were worn above 152mm, and it was possible to pierce the opponent at any time......

When a tank is pierced, then such shells have no lethality at all.

He was not without a solution, one was to load all his tanks with high-explosive shells, and the other was to let his gunners aim at the opponent's hull to fight.

Neither is a complete solution to this problem, and Zhang Shixin is well aware of this.

It seems that there is only a two-pronged approach.

Zhang Shixin showed a look of helplessness.

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

The battle began after seven o'clock, and Zhang Shixin summoned a large number of junior brothers in a valley more than 20 kilometers away.

The team went to Xifengkou vigorously.

Half an hour later, under the charge of the Type 97 tanks, the army successively broke through the defenders' vehicles to the outer defense line, and the situation on the entire battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse.

However, neither the attacking and defending sides, nor the team of an unknown force ambushed on the other side, did not expect that in the northwest direction of Xifengkou, a large group of tanks and armored vehicles were launching a fierce attack here.

One of the soldiers looked at these tanks and armored vehicles, and knew that these things were not their allies, so they turned around and engaged the other party.

The battle lasted less than ten minutes, and the troops retreated.

Because with the weapons they have at hand, they can't fight these armored behemoths at all.

What's more, they didn't expect the other side to have heavy artillery support at all.

A shell fell, and an area of more than ten meters turned into a purgatory of flesh and blood. Some of the officers and soldiers who did not die immediately were howling incessantly.

Some grenadiers attack the Type 4H at the front of the line. It's just that, without waiting for them to fire more shells, a few large-caliber grenades fell on their shelling positions.

Some of the 75mm mountain artillery shells were shelling these enemies, but like the grenadiers, a few 150mm grenades sent them to where they were supposed to be - Hell.

……

While the fighting was still going on in the northwestern region, among the headquarters of the army, Naoto Hattori (borrowed from the Bright Sword...... In fact, the brigade commander of the Hattori Brigade may be Hattori Kotaro) after receiving a request for tactical guidance from the flank troops (that is, commonly known as a request for help, and a tactical transfer is a retreat, and the term "army" is quite nice, hehe. After that, he had to roar: "Baga, those fools Lianzhina (Zhina is not a derogatory term, but some foreign language homonym, don't forget that the English name of China is China, and the original name was the country of ceramics. I couldn't resist it, and I even figured out that the other party actually sent an invincible chariot force out. And it's in the direction of Chengde, that's our territory! ”

The chief of staff also shook his head: "Your Excellency, I don't know how we should respond to each other?" ”

Naoto Hattori shook his head, and then said, "Send a wing of chariots over to see what is going on." How many years? How many years have we not heard of tactical instruction? The glorious tradition since the Meiji Restoration has been discarded here by those fools, who should be seppuku to thank His Majesty the Emperor! ”

The chief of staff could only echo the angry brigade commander.

……

Zhang Shixin didn't expect that this time the battle would be solved so easily.

Although he was not intact, the track of a No. 4H was blown up by several military explosives bags shouting "Long live the emperor".

Even the communicator suffered a number of injuries.

However, on the whole, Zhang Shixin's casualties were not large, and more were lightly injured.

But, he knew very well that he would not retreat so easily.

And Zhang Shixin did not let go of the idea of Yue Jun.

He even thought that with a result similar to that of Nuomenkan, he would delay the official invasion of China by the Yue army.

As for dispelling the idea of invading China, Zhang Shixin has not yet reached this point of whimsy.

Because as many people between China and China know, if they want to really become a strong country, they must first annex China.

Therefore, if there is eternal peace between the two countries, it is a topic that pigs will laugh at.

It is not surprising that one day, something will inevitably happen in both countries, which can be said to follow the trend......

Zhang Shixin knew this very well, and he knew that even if he did his best to influence the history of this period, what should come would still come.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin, who doesn't want to affect history too much, can only delay rather than erase the other party's thoughts.

……

A wing of Type 97 light tanks appeared on Zhang Shixin's tactical map fifteen minutes after the collapse of the defenders. At the same time, more than a dozen aircraft symbols also quickly appeared in the northwest direction of Zhang Shixin.

"Is the army air force at Chengde Airport?" Zhang Shixin knew that there was a military airfield in Chengde, but he didn't expect the army to react so quickly.

However, with an air defense weapon like the No. 4 weapon carrier, Zhang Shixin was not worried about what kind of threat his propeller plane could really pose.

But just in case, he ordered the self-propelled guns not to provide fire support as much as possible if the opposing planes spotted them.

The base of the No. 4 weapon carrier could not move at all angles, but the 270-degree horizontal base steering was enough to strike the Army Air Force in many directions.

The 75mm shells were all high-explosive fragmentation shells with electronic fuses, and the commander used the remote control to detonate the shells while observing.

The gunner, on the other hand, quickly adjusted the vertical angle of fire of the anti-aircraft gun, and then waited for the opponent to appear.

Dozens of seconds later, more than a dozen Mitsubishi G3M Type 96 land attack planes appeared in front of the gunners, and after the opponent descended to an altitude of six or seven hundred meters, one shell after another quickly spat out.

Dozens of black sparks of smoke suddenly appeared in the sky.

The first wave of two scheduled shots did not hit the enemy, however, the next eight bursts of fire, because the commander modified the fuse detonation time, the engines, belly and even the front of the control room of several G3M Type 96 land attack aircraft were enveloped in a series of 75mm high-explosive fragmentation shells.

It is difficult for medium and large-caliber anti-aircraft guns to accurately hit the enemy, and they use the power of shells to shock and damage planes with armor similar to papier-mâché.

The explosion effect of shells in the air is the best, because the killing range can be said to be all-round.

So, once it is exploded at close range by a powerful enough shell, an aircraft will be traumatized to a considerable extent.

If it hits directly, then not to mention the G3M 96 land attack aircraft, even if it is a B-29 "Flying Fortress", at least it will have to be "disabled".

Because it was blown open, it was quite a fatal blow to the aircraft that relied on the smooth surname of the fuselage and internal and external pressure factors.

After the first round of 10 rounds was fired, at least four G3M land attack planes were constantly climbing in altitude with thick smoke.

Zhang Shixin was a little pity, because this shelling could only temporarily scare the other party back, but it was much better than nothing at all.

The injuries of several damaged G3M Type 96 land attack aircraft were not minor, and the right propeller engine of one G3M even caught fire.

Therefore, half a minute later, in a place that Zhang Shixin didn't know, a G3M swept straight through the air, like a meteor that pierced the atmosphere, burning continuously until it fell to the ground.

The pilot of the plane saw the opportunity quickly and quickly pulled the emergency escape device before the fuselage caught fire.

An umbrella flower appeared in the sky, followed the direction of the wind, and fell into a mountain forest southeast of Xifengkou.

Unbeknownst to the pilot, when he landed on the ground with difficulty, he was surrounded by a group of men in short jackets with various weapons in their hands.

He could only raise his hands helplessly......

Zhang Shixin didn't know such a situation, and he waited coldly for the Type 97 tanks of that wing to appear in the best firing area of the troops in front. (To be continued.) )
