readx; In the eyes of the sergeant of the infantry squad, he could clearly see a flame rising from the front of the No. 228 tank in the street, and it was obvious that the German rockets had hit the T18 tank. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why didn't you move, was it pierced?" The sergeant was a little anxious, knowing that this No. 228 tank was the only ramming vehicle he could get to support the firepower, and if this tank was destroyed, then the advance of his squad would encounter great resistance.

"No, those tank soldiers blew the T18 tank into the sky, and they shouldn't be pierced by a single rocket!"

In fact, they had a small glimpse of the anti-armor capabilities of rockets, and in actual combat, if the rockets were allowed to get close to the target and fire at the target within the effective range, basically except for a very small number of heavy tanks, nothing else would be spared. For example, the H4 rocket launcher, which is widely equipped in the Chinese army, uses Type 43 armor-piercing projectiles, which are enough to penetrate 230 mm of armor within an effective range of 100 meters. Most of the bazookas in other countries are imitations of China, including Germany's Iron Fist series of bazookas, which are also developed according to China's bazookas, and the Bazooka series of bazookas in the United States also have strong Chinese elements, so in this time and space, it is impossible to see the historical Iron Fist bazooka bazookas, but the bazookas used by various countries are similar, and the difference is not big.

However, there are some differences in the details of the bazooka of various countries, for example, the bazooka of China and the United States pays more attention to the support of the infantry and is more prominent in striking the enemy's fixed fortification targets, but the bazooka of the Soviet Union and Germany pays more attention to anti-armor capabilities.

Now the German rocket launcher hit the T18 tank, and it was within the effective range, which was enough to maximize the power of this rocket launched by the German army.

The sergeant looked at the T18 tank nervously, and the time passed second by second after the explosion, but the T18 tank was still motionless, which made the sergeant's mood sink into a trough, was it really penetrated? Are the members of the tank crew inside already dead?

Just as the sergeant was about to sigh, a private of the first class next to him suddenly said, "It's moving!" ”

The sergeant looked back at the T18 tank, and saw that its turret, which had been motionless, had slowly turned again, and a few seconds later, one of its 105mm guns had once again freed up a ball of muzzle flame.

"No. 28, are you all right?" At this time, the sergeant hurriedly sounded and called by radio.

The rustling sound in the headset also came from the voice of the commander of the No. 228: "My car is in good condition, please indicate the target!" ”

At this time, the front of the turret of tank 228 also left a crater the size of a fist and nearly 100 millimeters deep

The armor-piercing ability of anti-tank rockets in these years is still very strong, and the armor-piercing ability of large-caliber rockets in service in various countries is enough to sweep most of the active tanks, and only a very small number of tanks can be immune, such as the IS-2 heavy tank of Soviet Russia, the T17 heavy tank of China, and the T18 main battle tank.

In terms of armor-piercing ability, it is stronger than the 57 mm anti-tank guns equipped with infantry divisions, and even some 75 mm anti-tank guns. However, the bazooka also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, the range is too close, the effective range of the early rocket is only about 50 meters, and in the later stage, although the effective range has increased to about 100 meters or even 150 meters, it is still relatively close.

In formal field warfare, the anti-armor ability of the bazooka could not be used at all, but in street fighting, the bazooka became the best infantry anti-armor weapon.

Since the beginning of World War II, the bazookas of various countries have been widely used in street battles, especially on the Soviet-German battlefield, the large-scale application of bazookas has caused both sides to lose a large number of armored vehicles in street battles.

Now China's heavily armed mechanized European expeditionary force has set foot on the Balkan Peninsula, in the face of the powerful Chinese armored corps, if the German army wants to use frontal resistance, it is impossible to stop it, and they don't have many tanks in the field, so they can only deploy heavy troops in major cities, trying to engage in large-scale street battles with the Chinese army, delay the advance of the Chinese army, and buy time for the German army to gather troops.

When the No. 228 tank gradually advanced with an infantry squad, in the backyard of a building more than 200 meters away, this was the small headquarters of the third infantry company under the eighth armored infantry battalion of the second armored division of the Chinese army. In the case of armored divisions, the Chinese character number is used, such as the second armored division, the second armored regiment, and the second armored infantry battalion.

As for tank battalions, air defense battalions, artillery battalions and other types of troops, there is no distinction between armored divisions and infantry divisions, because these units are based on battalions as the basic tactical units, so these battalions are lined up from the first battalion to several hundred. So there can be something like the 2nd Panzer Division equipping the 124th Air Defense Battalion.

At this time, in this small headquarters, the company commander of the 3rd Infantry Company, Captain Yi Fangyuan, was instructing a scribbled map to the people around him: "On Building 8, it has been confirmed that there are at least 10 or more German soldiers, they have many bazookas in their hands, and Building 8 is low, and there are several relatively tall buildings around it as cover, in the air support operation half an hour ago, our F6D fighters carried out repeated bombing three times and failed to hit the bomb. And the front of this No. 8 building is just the middle of the street, and if the follow-up armored units of our army want to pass through here, they will always face their threat, so the battalion headquarters has ordered that our department must take the No. 8 building within two hours to clear the obstacles for the main force of the battle group to enter.

"The Third Tank Company will send two tanks to support our operation, and my battle plan is that the two tanks will come out of here, that is, on the ground at this street intersection to suppress the fire of Building No. 12 and Building No. 14," Captain Yi Fangyuan said as he pointed to the map, and at this time, the two tank commanders who came to support the operation frowned.

"If the fire is suppressed from this intersection, the enemy's firepower is too fierce to directly resist head-on, and if you use the flank to meet the enemy and carry out an emergency stop and fire, it is also very dangerous!" One of the tank commanders, who was about thirty years old, was somewhat dissatisfied with such a tactical arrangement. Although the T18 tank he drove is known as the world's first awesome tank, it is not less boastful in peacetime, but it is still more difficult to carry the enemy's anti-tank fire to suppress the firepower, and if you face the enemy head-on, you may not be able to get close to the Germans to come close to a rocket, although most of the medium-caliber rockets T18 can rely on strong protection capabilities to resist, but it is not possible that people do not have larger caliber rockets, if this is a large-caliber rocket, even the T18 has to be penetrated.

If you don't meet the enemy head-on, you can only maneuver on the road, and then carry out emergency stop shooting when you cross the intersection, at this time, the accuracy of non-stop shooting is completely unguaranteed, and at this time the tank is equivalent to meeting the enemy on the side, like all tanks in these years, the side of the T18 tank is also very fragile, and almost most anti-armor weapons can penetrate the side of the T18.

Facing the question of the commander of the No. 235 tank, Captain Na Yi Fangyuan said: "Although there is danger, but this intersection is the only shooting window that can suppress the enemy's No. 12 and No. 14 buildings, I don't recommend it if you resist head-on, I suggest that you use mobile emergency stop shooting, the shooting accuracy can be slowed down, as long as you ensure that the stay time does not exceed five seconds, it should still be safe, and there are our people in the No. 26 and No. 37 buildings on both sides, and they will also provide you with enough cover!" ”

Hearing Captain Yi Fangyuan say so urgently, the two tank commanders didn't speak, although this tactic is still more dangerous, but this is also a matter of no way, it can't be said that if it's dangerous, it won't fight.

After Yi Fangyuan saw that there was no problem with these two tank commanders, he turned his head to a young second lieutenant and said: "Second Lieutenant Lin, wait for you to lead the team, arrive here after foot combat, and as soon as you arrive, you must quickly get off the car, and you must establish a firing point within fifteen seconds to prevent the enemy from counterattacking." As long as you hold on, the second wave of commandos will be able to get a safe starting point! ”

Second Lieutenant Lin looks very young, that is, about 20 years old, and this is also a relatively young kind in the Chinese Army, although in the early years, the military academy enrollment was a junior high school graduation, but after the twenties, it was only recruited from high school graduates, when these military cadets finished high school, and then mixed with three years of military school to officially serve in the army, the age was generally around 234 years old.

Although Ensign Lin was young, he couldn't see a trace of the young man's uneasiness, at this moment, his expression was normal, not happy or sad, he just nodded lightly and said, "Understood!" ”

At this time, Yi Fangyuan said to the commanders of several other infantry fighting vehicles: "When you are transporting, although you have the cover of tanks, you should also try to get off the street, and remember not to go on the road when reversing, just complete the reversing action here in the corner!" ”

After this series of arrangements was made, Yi Fangyuan stopped the tactical meeting with these people, and then stood up and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, all ready, let's go and take down Building No. 8!" ”

Yi Fangyuan strode up and checked the equipment of one soldier after another: "Why is there one less magazine for you, no, what if the battle time is longer than expected, and then you don't have enough ammunition?" ”

"And your grenades, this thing is very useful, you can bring a few more!" Yi Fangyuan personally took over the equipment of the soldiers who participated in the first wave of attacks one by one, and his excessive catch made those soldiers laugh: "Yitou, you can rest assured, Lao Tzu will personally go out, he must be able to capture it, and I will give you a Luger pistol when the time comes!" ”

One of the sergeants, with a full face, held the 1943-style general-purpose machine gun directly in his hand, and did not forget to joke on his lips.

At this time, Second Lieutenant Lin also came over, at this time he was also fully armed, in addition to his own pistol, he had a large number of magazines and grenades hanging from his waist, carrying a 1944-style automatic rifle in his hand, wearing a steel helmet, wearing a combat uniform, if he didn't look at his epaulettes, then he would not find that he was actually an officer.

Although there is a tradition in the Chinese Army that officers do not go into battle, it generally refers to colonels who serve as battalion commanders and above, and lieutenants who are junior officers in the army, especially those who serve as platoon commanders at the two levels of lieutenants and second lieutenants, actually participate in battles personally, and even those company commanders mostly carry a submachine gun in wartime.

As the two tanks set off first, Second Lieutenant Lin also shouted: "Get in the car, get in the car!" ”

With about 20 soldiers boarding three infantry fighting vehicles successively, and followed by the T18 tank in front of the small backyard, rushed onto the road, a new round of fighting is about to start, in the face of the German stubborn fortifications, the Chinese Army will give these tactical ideas are still stuck in the thirties of the German turtles to perform a new era of combat mode, let them see what is called the attack of heavy mechanized troops!

The Chinese Army wants to use the Battle of Thessaloniki to tell the world how to fight the battle of the city!

Second Lieutenant Lin sat in the narrow infantry combat compartment, and the roar of the engine echoed in his ears in the carriage, and because the infantry combat situation was very fast, when he crossed the obstacles, Second Lieutenant Lin in the carriage was also bumped back and forth.

As the battle has begun, the soldiers who were still talking and laughing before setting off also stopped talking one by one, holding the 1944-style automatic rifle in their arms tightly with their hands wearing half-cut tactical gloves, and the faces under the helmets are also different faces, some are gritting their teeth and praying, the 1943-style tracked infantry fighting vehicle they are sitting on must not be hit by German fire, although the 1943-style tracked infantry fighting vehicle is the latest generation of infantry fighting vehicles developed by the Chinese Army, Both mobility and protection are much stronger than the previous two infantry fighting vehicles, but in the end he is just an infantry fighting vehicle, and his protection ability to block machine gun bullets and small-caliber artillery is okay, if he is hit by powerful anti-armor weapons, he will definitely be destroyed.

But then again, if the German army wants to attack the Chinese Army's 1943 infantry fighting vehicles, then it has to use large-caliber anti-tank artillery, and because the 1943 infantry fighting vehicles are very fast, and when performing the task of transporting soldiers in actual combat, the drivers are driving fast, leaving the enemy not too much time to shoot at all, so the rockets that are more effective against tanks are not very effective for infantry combat.

Because in real combat, the speed of infantry maneuvering is very fast, while the tank is stop-and-go.

At this moment, the three infantry vehicles were quickly on the road, which was originally relatively empty on both sides, and most of the buildings on both sides were also destroyed by the shelling of both sides.

At this time, the two sides are facing each other across a road, and this block in the southeast has been controlled by the A battle group of the Chinese Second Armored Division, and the area on the other side of the road is still in the hands of the Germans, and in the northeast of the road, the second armored B battle group is attacking the German army in front of it, but the resistance they encountered is very large, so in order to cooperate with the advance of the B battle group, the A battle group is ready to cross this road, and then completely control this road. In order to allow the main forces of Battle Group A to enter, and before that, they had to defeat the Germans in Building 8 first.

Otherwise, when the time comes, a large number of armored vehicles of the A battle group will swagger onto this road, and they will have to be slaughtered one after another like pigs.

Since the opposite side is the German-controlled area, and it is not known how much anti-tank fire the Germans have deployed in the buildings adjacent to the road on the opposite side, the main force of the A battle group does not dare to go up easily, and now in order to seize the No. 8 building, they have taken the risk of sending two tanks and three infantry fighting vehicles to form a battle group to try to seize the No. 8 building, and then extend it to both sides based on this point to clear the German forces facing the street buildings on the north side of the road, so as to completely control the road from the surface.

In fact, while the 3rd Infantry Battalion captured Building 8, the other two infantry companies of the 8th Armored Infantry Battalion were engaged in a diversion battle with the support of more than 10 tanks, so as to disperse the German firepower and create a favorable opportunity for the capture of Building 8.

So if you look down from the sky, you can see that this small road is crowded with about ten tanks, and there are also five or six tanks moving on the south side of the road. At the same time, many German troops on the north side of the road also controlled various important positions, and in the face of the joint attack of the 1st Panzer Infantry Battalion and the 5th Tank Battalion, the Germans also counterattacked with a large number of rocket launchers and other weapons.

When the two T18 tanks broke away from the road and entered a concave area on the north side of the road, the two T18 tanks used this concave area to evade the German fire on the buildings on the street in the north of the highway, and suppressed the German troops not far away by a small alley in the concave, and one after another 105 mm shells were fired one after another, setting off a huge burst of explosion smoke and dust not far away.

At this moment, Yi Fangyuan was on the south side of the road, watching the battle ahead through the small hole in the broken wall, and always giving orders with a wireless telephone.

"No. 235, No. 238 immediately release smoke." After Yi Fangyuan said this to the radio, he then picked up another walkie-talkie, and then said: "The enemy's firepower has been suppressed, and you can enter!" ”

As his order was conveyed, the three infantry fighting vehicles also drove onto the road at high speed, which seemed to be discovered by the Germans when they first entered the highway, and a series of bullets hit one of the infantry fighting vehicles, but this did not stop the charge of the three infantry fighting vehicles, these three infantry fighting vehicles did not stay on the road for long, and soon crossed the highway to the opposite section of the waste wall, and then the three infantry fighting vehicles began to reverse, aiming the parking space to the north, when the reversing was completed, The rear door of the infantry fighting vehicle was opened.

"Quick, get off, quick!" After Ensign Lin strode out of the car, he continued to shout while half-squatting: "According to the predetermined plan, one group will set up a fire point, two groups will guard the west, and three groups will guard the east!" ”

These three infantry fighting vehicles transported a total of 21 commandos, these 21 commandos were commanded by Second Lieutenant Lin, and carried more weapons and equipment, in addition to the 1944 automatic rifles, there were also 1943 general-purpose machine guns, rocket launchers, etc.

After these people got out of the car, they all bent on their waists, and then set up machine guns to carry out the vigilance mission.

The whole process was not even fifteen seconds, and these 21 people had already established a preliminary point of fire. By this time, the three infantry fighting vehicles had already increased their horsepower, and they had to transport the second wave of commandos.

At this time, the German counterattack also came as expected, in the face of the German figure shaking from time to time in the north, Ensign Lin still had no expression, and the sergeant machine gunner pulled the trigger from time to time, and shouted: "Kill you Germans!" ”
