738 Fire Dragon Chariot
Chiyo Kazuo said proudly: "To defend against the invaded artillery chariots of the Huaxia Army, of course, you have to rely on fortifications!" ”
"Fortifications?" Kenkawa Yasunosuke laughed disdainfully, and the other Japanese officers also shook their heads, the previous battles had proved that the fortifications had no defensive effect against the plundering artillery chariots, and the Japanese fortifications were broken through by the plundered artillery chariots again and again, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties.
Chiyo Kazuo sneered and said: "I just came back from the United States, and the experts of the United States are also actively studying ways to deal with the artillery chariots, and they have found that the artillery chariots of the invasion have a fatal weakness. ”
Kengawa Yasunosuke is an ultra-nationalist, thinking that the Yamato nation and the Japanese Empire are the only one, and when he heard Chiyo Kazuo's tone, there was a meaning of touting the rice country, and he said disdainfully: "We have found a lot of weaknesses in the artillery chariot of invasion, and its track is a major weakness, as long as the track is blown up, the artillery chariot of invasion will be difficult to move an inch, I don't know if the expert of the rice country in Chiyo Shaozuo's mouth has found this shortcoming?" ”
Chiyo Kazuo shook his head and said: "Of course, this weakness was not discovered by the experts of the United States, and the experts of the United States found that the main gun firepower of the artillery chariot of the invasion is not strong, and the shells fired can only deal with the infantry. ”
Kenkawa Yasunosuke's expression changed, and he recalled the battle examples he had studied before, such as the Battle of Arthur Fortress, in which a shell from an invading artillery chariot once hit the fortress at the bottom of the trench, and the fortress was unscathed, and for example, in the Battle of Mukden, in this battle, the invading artillery chariots did not fire shells to bombard the fortress, and it was obvious that the shells did not work on the base.
Kengawa Yasunosuke was secretly surprised, why didn't I think of this, they all said that the experts of the United States were powerful, and it seemed that they really lived up to their reputation, so Kengawa Yasunosuke said: "The main gun firepower of the artillery chariot of invasion is not strong, what does it have to do with us?" ”
"We can use this to make some articles, for example, build a concrete breast wall on our position, open a battlement in the chest wall, and our water dragon cannon will hide behind the breast wall, and wait until the plundering artillery chariot approaches and open fire, with the power of the water dragon cannon, it will definitely be able to destroy the plundering artillery chariot, the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia army is far inferior to the warriors of our empire, as long as the plundering artillery chariot is destroyed, they will be finished."
Kengawa Yasunosuke sighed, "If Mukden is still there, it is still possible to build a concrete breast wall, but Mukden has been conquered by the Huaxia Army, and all the factories that produce cement have fallen into Lin Fei's hands, without cement, we can't make concrete." ”
Kazuo Chiyo laughed, "Don't worry, I've already negotiated with the Russians, they will provide us with a lot of concrete, and even give us skilled workers." ”
Kengawa Yasunosuke hurriedly looked at Nogi Noshinori and asked, "Is this true?" ”
Nogi Noshinori smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's true, I just received a briefing from the Russian side, and they are willing to help us in any way." ”
Kengawa Yasunosuke frowned, shook his head and said: "General, although we have the help of Russia, it is still too dangerous to defend Jilin, I still think that we should withdraw to South Korea as soon as possible." ”
"No, we can't retreat!" Nogi Noshinori raised his voice, "Chiyo and Xiong Shaosa are right, we can't retreat, if we retreat, the entire Northeast will completely fall into the hands of Lin Fei, this is a disaster for our empire, a huge disaster, we, as the samurai of His Majesty the Emperor, can't afford this crime at all, we must hold the Northeast and finally wait until the day of victory." ”
When the people heard Nogi Noshinori say this, they didn't say more, and they agreed to garrison Jilin, so Nogi Noshinori then built a 30-kilometer-long breastwork wall around Jilin with the help of the Russians, the breastwork was one meter five high, more than five meters thick, and there were battlements and shooting ports on it, and people hid behind, and they could fire water dragon cannons or shoot.
The breast wall is in the shape of a half-moon, enclosing Jilin in the core (Jilin is a city, the capital of Jilin Province, the capital of Jilin Province and the name of the province are the same), the east side of Jilin is the Songhua River, and the east bank of the Songhua River is the territory of the Russians, and the Russians at this time have begun to sincerely help the Japanese army.
The time soon came on June 15, when the Huaxia Army arrived at the Jilin front and collided head-on with the Japanese defensive breastwork, and the Huaxia Army immediately prepared to attack.
At 10 o'clock in the morning of 16 June, the Huaxia Army launched its first attack on the Japanese position, and the Huaxia Army saw that the Japanese fortifications only had trenches and breastwork, no barbed wire, and no minefields.
Ten marauding artillery chariots fired shells at the breastwork, which exploded in front of and behind the breastwork, and the breastwork did not move, and several high-explosive grenades hit the breastwork, which only made a few small gaps.
On the night of 16 June, Li Ming held an emergency operational meeting at the headquarters to discuss how to break through the Japanese army's defensive breastwall.
First of all, it is definitely useless to bombard with the artillery chariot of the invasion, and secondly, it is not possible to bombard with the HP-3 105 mm howitzer, because the height of the breast wall is only one meter five, and the howitzer does not know how many shells to fire before it is enough to blow up the breast wall, and the HP-2 75 mm howitzer is more problematic, and whether it can blow up the breast wall is in two words.
Some people thought of using the Qiankun Bow rocket launcher and the Sky Shaking Arrow rocket, but it still didn't work, even if the rocket could blow up the chest wall, it could only explode a short section, which was not enough for the plundering artillery chariot to pass.
It has been pointed out that in order for the plundering artillery chariot to rush through the defensive breastwork, it is not necessary to blow up the breastwork, just rush through the breastwork, although the vertical height of 1.5 meters exceeds the limit of the predatory artillery chariot, but as long as a slope is piled up under the breastwork, the plundering artillery chariot can rush through.
However, how to pile up the slope has become the most difficult problem, the breastwork wall is full of firing ports, as long as the infantry approaches, they will be killed and injured by bullets, and they cannot complete the task of stacking the slope, if you use a bulldozer chariot, although you are not afraid of bullets, but you are afraid of water dragon artillery, it can be determined that the Japanese army will definitely deploy water dragon guns behind the defensive breastwork.
Everyone discussed and discussed, but still didn't find a reliable way, at this time, Li Ming looked at Master Lei Guang and said, "Lei Guang, it's been so long, I see that you don't say a word, why don't you speak?" ”
Division Commander Lei Guang smiled and said: "Actually, our new equipment can completely restrain the Japanese army's defensive breastwork, but I didn't bring it up, I want to hear everyone's opinions." ”
Li Ming hurriedly asked, "What new equipment does your armored division have, let's talk about it quickly." ”
"That's right, we have the latest kind of chariot to equip called the Fire Dragon Chariot......" Commander Lei Guang was talking when Li Ming suddenly interrupted him and asked, "What is the Fire Dragon Chariot?" ”
"A member of the family of the Plundered Artillery Chariot......"
Lei Guang was interrupted again, "The family of the Raided Artillery Chariot? How can there be a family of Raided Artillery Chariots? ”
"That's right, according to Your Majesty, the chariots that use the chassis of the Marauding Artillery Chariot are all members of the family of the Marauding Artillery Chariot, and the most obvious example is our Minesweeper Chariot and Bulldozer Chariot, their chassis is the same as the Marauding Artillery Chariot, except that they are equipped with a rolling minesweeper and a bulldozer."
"The improvement of the fire dragon chariot is relatively large, it completely cancels the ...... of the artillery system" Division Commander Lei Guang was talking, and was interrupted again, this time it was the commander of the 13th Division who interrupted him, this is not that the officers of the Huaxia Army are not polite, it is really that what Division Commander Lei Guang said is too "seductive" people, everyone wants to know more.
The commander of the 13th Division asked: "The artillery system has been canceled, so how can it fight?" ”
Division Commander Lei Guang smiled helplessly, "Listen to me, although we have canceled the artillery system, but it has been replaced with a new combat system, in the interior of the fire dragon chariot, a set of gear oil pumps have been installed, and the artillery barrel has also been changed to a nozzle, and the fuel storage tank is connected behind the nozzle. ”
Division Commander Lei Guang changed his smug tone, "Let's shoot gasoline out for a few hundred meters, what will we do next, I don't need to say, right?" ”
Li clearly continued: "The next thing is to ignite the gasoline, right?" ”
"That's right, the next thing is to ignite the gasoline, and there are two ways to ignite the gasoline, one is to ignite directly in front of the gun barrel - that is, the gasoline nozzle, so that the gasoline can be injected out of the oil pipe and burn directly, and the other is to shoot an incendiary bomb at the place full of gasoline and ignite the gasoline, of course, this incendiary bomb is fired by the machine gun of the Spitfire."
"In this battle to break through the Japanese defensive breastfeed, our Spitfire chariots can completely spray gasoline into the defensive breastline, and then ignite it with incendiary bombs, as soon as the defensive breastwall is ignited, the Japanese cannot get close, and our infantry can take the opportunity to pile up an inclined plane and let our invading artillery chariots rush onto the defensive breastline."
"As for what happens after rushing up to the breastwork, our plundering artillery chariots can either stay on the breastwork and shoot or rush down the breastwork, at a height of one meter and a half, the plundering artillery chariots will not be broken when they rush down."
Li Ming laughed, "Lei Guang, it turns out that you already have a way, okay, let's use this method, come here, and prepare immediately." ”
