Chapter 302 Bangalore Torpedo

Tian Jixiang saw dozens of tanks of the Soviet army and the overwhelming momentum, killing towards the position of the third division!

"Everybody's ready! Old Maozi is coming up! Seeing Tian Jixiang's red eyes, he looked at the devastated position and said in a deep voice! And with Tian Jixiang's order, the officers and men of the Third Division entered the position silently, set up their machine guns or set up their rifles, twisted the bottom cover of the grenade, stared at the charging Soviet army, and waited for Tian Fatzi to give an order!

"Long~Long~Long......" With the sound of tanks, the Soviet army advanced very fast! In a short time, it was five hundred meters in front of the formation of the third division! But to the surprise of the Soviet army, the opposing unit did not panic like the Northeast Army they had defeated before and fired around with machine guns!

The position of the entire Northeast Army was as if it was dead, without the slightest bit of life. And this position has already been built, and it is set up on a slope! Soviet soldiers and tanks had to climb the slope and rush towards the positions of the 3rd Division.

When the Soviet troops rushed to a place about 300 meters in front of the formation, they heard an angry roar from the Northeast Army position opposite: "Fight Lao Tzu!" ”

In an instant, I could hear the "suddenness...... Da Da Da ...... Bang! Bang! Bang...... all kinds of gunfire were heard endlessly, but fortunately, those tanks rushed in front of the Soviet army, so this rain of bullets was just the direct sound of the Soviet tanks' "clanging ......", except for a part of the Soviet troops who were injured by stray bullets, the loss was not large.

Despite this, many Soviet troops still lay down to avoid the stray bullets. Inadvertently, the infantry has gradually become disconnected from the tanks, and those charging tanks have driven about seventy or eighty meters in front of the infantry! It's time to rush into position!

"Tom! Tong! Tong...... Da ...... "The guns and light machine guns equipped on the tank began to roar before approaching the position!

"Boom! Rumble!! Rumble...... Bang! Bang...... "Several firepower points on Tian Jixiang's position were suddenly blown away by this burst of artillery fire!" The soldiers of the Third Division at each firing point fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, but then the brothers carried them down and sent them to the wounded pit in the rear. The latest chapter of the Templar.

But Tian Jixiang and they were not panicked, they had already expected this situation!

I saw the commander of the third division, Tian Jixiang, roaring with red eyes: "Mortar!" Give Lao Tzu a hit! I can't beat you up, I'll kill you!! ”

With Tian Jixiang's roar, there was a "Tom!" from the rear of the position. Tong!! The muffled sound of mortar firing ......, and then you can hear the scream of shells of "chirp~tweet~tweet......"!

"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......" There was a sea of fire in front of the positions of the three divisions, and the charging Soviet troops did not expect that this unit would dare to use artillery in front of their positions! And they are carrying out the old-fashioned intensive charge!

So it was hit right all of a sudden! Most of the soldiers who rushed to the front were immediately knocked out, and the rest of the soldiers did not dare to rush again, so they could only hide in place and shoot at the three divisions on the position with light machine guns and rifles.

Which of the officers and men of the First Army was not fed by piles of bullets?! Tu Qianjun's training at all costs finally had a miraculous effect at this time, and most of the Soviet soldiers screamed and fell down between the shots!

The soldiers of the 3rd Division took advantage of the concealment of the trenches and the convenience of multiple firing points, and the casualties were very small!

After a burst of fire, the commander of the Soviet army seemed to have discovered the problem! And by this time they had already lost the cover of their tanks, and it was impossible for the artillery to launch an artillery strike at this time! After a stalemate of about half an hour, the Soviet army finally retreated like a tide.

Seeing that the Soviet army had retreated, Tian Jixiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Tian Jixiang gasped and said in a deep voice to the orderly beside him: "Count how much the brothers have lost, and more!" Let everyone immediately return to the anti-artillery holes, leaving only a few people to monitor the positions. ”

As he spoke, Tian Jixiang grabbed Thomson beside him and ran directly to the anti-artillery hole. And the rest of the officers and men of the three divisions also tacitly walked towards their nearest artillery, they knew that the next action of the Soviet army would definitely be shelling!

But it is not known whether there will be an offensive after the shelling.

Sure enough, after the officers and men of the Third Division hurriedly entered the anti-artillery hole, the Soviet artillery bombardment came! ”

As he spoke, Blyukhel picked up a tubular round-headed iron pipe and said in a deep voice to the commanders: "Do you know what this is?!" ”

Everyone looked at the round tube and shook their heads, and then saw Blyuhel whispering to them: "This thing is called a 'Bangalore torpedo', and it is a kind of explosives originally used to destroy barbed wire. But I didn't expect it to appear here and be used to destroy our tanks! ”

The origin of the blaster is inseparable from the use of barbed wire in the war.

When the Shaolin abbot of the post-80s generation in Erie, the United States, this kind of thing quickly became an insurmountable obstacle for the attacking forces in the war.

In 1901, when the Second Boer War entered the stage of guerrilla warfare, the British ** team erected more than 6,000 km of barbed wire in the grasslands of South Africa to deal with the elusive Boer guerrillas.

In the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, Russia used a large number of barbed wire fences in the attack and defense of Arthur Fortress, coupled with machine guns, grenades and other weapons, so that the corpses of Japanese soldiers attacking the fortress were all over the field.

In order to effectively remove the barbed wire, in 1912, McClintock, an engineer of the British Army in India, designed a portable light explosives at the "Bangalore" station. Because of the shape of this explosive device, it resembled a torpedo, so it was named "Bangalore torpedo".

It is made of steel tube-filled explosives and has a conical protective cap mounted on the head of the simplified body, which not only prevents the blaster from damaging the "Bangalore torpedo" on rough ground, but also makes it easier to reach into the barbed wire. At the other end of the simplified version is the fuze chamber where the fuse is installed.

After the "Bangalore torpedo" is detonated through the fuse and detonator, it can open up a passage of about 1.8 meters long and 3 meters wide in the barbed wire.

Of course, you can also call him a name that is extremely familiar to the Chinese: blasting canister!

This blasting device is extremely simple to say, and the most troublesome thing is the size of the charge and the timing of detonation (). However, if you use this kind of explosive equipment, which is much more powerful than a grenade, to bombard a tank that has just taken shape in this era, it will be a bombardment!

"The commander of this unit was extremely clever, he used some conventional but uncomplicated equipment and used it in areas other than his own. And in terms of actual combat effect, it is extremely impressive! Then Blyukhel took this iron pipe about the size of a fist and whispered to the commanders: "Who would have thought that this explosive equipment originally used against barbed wire and fortresses would be used on armored troops?!" ”

Hearing Blyukhel's words, several army commanders fell silent. They really don't know about the blaster, and this seemingly inconspicuous thing is the key to their defeat!

The blasting canisters that rolled sideways down the slope blew up most of the tank's tracks, and some of the people who did not fall into the crowd of Soviets without being hit head-on caused even more casualties - fragments of iron pipes flew after the explosion, knocking down many hidden Soviet troops.

The most miserable thing is the tanks that were rolled down to the chassis by the blasting canister! These tanks didn't even have time to turn before they were blasted into a pile of scrap metal! Even the Soviet soldiers around the tank fell to the ground screaming in disgrace.

"We underestimated our enemy, but the enemy did not underestimate us!" Then Blyukhel said in a deep voice to these Soviet commanders: "They first delayed our advance as much as possible, and then used a fighting method that we have never seen before to make us suffer a big loss!" ”

As he spoke, Blyukhel took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to these Soviet generals: "This is a cunning enemy!" Also a crazy enemy, I no longer ask my comrades to take positions within three hours. But I hope that the comrades can come up with a solution as soon as possible! This battle will be a training for our Soviet troops! We will tell those imperialists! Our Motherland, our great Soviet is invincible!! ”

"Yes!!" I saw that those generals heard Blyukhel's words "Hula~" and all stood up and saluted Blyukhel solemnly! Say it loud!
