Chapter 172: Demons Dance (2)

The four 37 infantry guns and the two 75 infantry guns attached to the two companies opened fire one after another, and a single-tracked monster that was advancing at high speed shuddered violently, plopped and fell to the side, and orange flames erupted from the turret. The other monster trembled like a sheep for a long time, and collapsed in front of a cedar tree, and one of the crew members lifted the turret cover and jumped out, and walked towards the Chinese position with his hands raised very consciously.

The remaining two were running in a straight line, the turret turned left and right and fired wildly, speeding through the positions of the Chinese infantry guns, and encountering the Chinese Jiehu chariot that had already turned around and was waiting for the battle.

Taking advantage of the gap in the fighting, the Chinese army tank replaced the machine gun with a three-type armor-piercing bullet with a tungsten carbide core - according to the regulations, each Jiehu should be equipped with 12 canvas cartridges of 200 rounds, two of which should be filled with three-type armor-piercing bullets.

In tests, the Type 3 armor-piercing bullet was able to penetrate 10-12 mm of uniform armor plates, which means that it can be used against all known types of armored vehicles, but the use of such bullets can severely wear the barrel, so the crew of the Jetfox will only switch it when needed.

The Army also planned to issue a belt of armor-piercing rounds for each heavy machine gun unit and five armor-piercing rounds for each sniper, but this was not achieved until the outbreak of war.

Although I don't know how thick the armor of these single-tracked monsters in front of Lu Dao is, just from the appearance, the body size is comparable to the four-ton Jiehu, and the weapon is also a heavy machine gun, and the speed is not inferior to that of the Jiehu, presumably the armor will not be much stronger than the Jiehu.

In addition to the chariot that had died with one of the monsters before, the remaining 7 Jiehu of the 3rd Company almost pounced on it with black smoke at the same time, roaring all the way with machine guns, from three or four hundred meters to the distance of the bayonet, the three-type armor-piercing bullet lived up to expectations, a spark splash, and the two monsters all turned into honeycombs, one of the engines caught fire, and the other lost control and rolled into the snow pit. The 3rd platoon of the 1st experimental tank company of the Russian army was completely wiped out.

"Rigiski, Riggiski, lovely Rigiski, it takes half an hour to turn a corner, for what? Because it only has one track......" the captured Russian charioteer later sang, distorted.

At the same time that the Right Wing Army Jiehu fought against the single-tracked monsters, the Feiting and Cedian of the Middle Route Army also began a death battle with the big iron house and the giant tricycle.

After receiving the report from the infantry, the 4th company of the Celestial Bolt and the 5th company of the Flying Thunder moved closer to the enemy at full speed, although the appearance of the * chariot was much more than the armored soldiers expected, the various units still divided into several groups according to the original plan and detoured to the enemy's flank.

The Flying Thunder chariot equipped with the commander of the 5th Company and the 2nd platoon, Lieutenant Kim Jong-won, took the lead in rushing to the side of a * chariot, only to see a string of orange light suddenly erupt from the turret on the roof and the protruding gun frame on the side of the hull.

Kim Jong-won saw that the situation was not good, and slapped the driver's left shoulder twice in succession, signaling him to turn left.

As a first-generation vehicle, the Flying Thunder was not equipped with the in-car intercom that was commonly installed on later new vehicles, and the communication between crew members could only rely on physical movements.

After the car was turned to the chariot, Kim Jong-won knocked on the back of the driver, Ishida Suke, and the 8-ton Flying Thunder Karakarata came to a sharp stop.

Kim Jong-won quickly turned the handle to rotate the turret, and at the same time pressed against the shoulder rest of the 37-mm tank gun, when a dense sound of bullets was heard outside the vehicle, as if it was about to turn the thin chariot into a honeycomb at any moment.

The figure of the iron carriage was finally reflected in the scope - no, the field of view of the entire scope was completely occupied by the tail boom dragging three circles of solid tail wheels, Kim Jong Won did not hesitate, picked up the nearest armor-piercing cartridge with one hand, stuffed it into the gun chamber with a click, turned the gun latch with his hand, closed the gun bolt, used shoulder force to adjust the high and low angles of the gun, kept his eyes close to the sight, and aligned the crosshair with the connection between the tail boom and the main car body.

Well, this is it! Fire!

Calmly pulling the firing rope, there was a bang, and the tail of the cannon slammed backwards in front of Kim Jong-won's nose, and slowly retreated back to its original position, only to see the iron carriage in front of it tremble slightly, and the upper part of the tail boom splashed a ball of sparks—but that's all. The creature continued to turn the pair of three-story buildings* without hindrance, slowly moving along the scarred snowfield with a heavy dreamlike meaning.

Kim Jong-won was not discouraged, and he could hear that the bullets on his car had decreased significantly, probably because the wingman following behind had drawn the opponent's fire, and looked carefully from the scope, as the distance widened, the flattened and deformed turret with a ring of barrels around the perimeter finally appeared in the upper part of the steeply inclined tail boom, and at the same time, Kim Jong Won also noticed the handrails and protruding footrests on the tail boom - it turned out that the crew had boarded the chariot from the tail boom.

In this way, the small cabin protruding at the end of the handrail is where the entrance is, and the side of the small cabin facing you is where the hatch is located.

By the way, shoot a few shots at the hatch, and the structure there must not be as strong as the rest of the place.

After making up his mind, Kim Jong-won quickly adjusted the orientation of the chariot gun that had already been loaded with shells, pulled down the fire rope, gritted his teeth and survived the cannon sound, and without waiting for the artillery backseat to finish, he pulled the bolt with one hand, and spun out the hot shell shell with green smoke into the cartridge case collection bag on the side, and then filled it with the other hand from the shell rack around the turret seat. Plunged deep into the snow, unable to move again.

It's done! It happened that another * chariot fired guns in unison, swaggering past Kim Jong-won's car, and Kim Jong-won was caught by Kim Jong-won, who drilled out of the turret to confirm the results of the battle.

"Asuke, I want to win glory for the people of the Outer Invasion Corps! Keep up with that big guy! ”

Kim Jong-won leaned down and yelled in Ishidasuke's ear.

According to the "Regulations on Rewarding Allied Forces in the Asian-Russian War," all Asahi veterans who have been awarded the rank of the White Tiger of the fourth class of the Chinese Army can join the Production and Construction Corps in the Outer Northeast, where they can receive free land, houses, and farm tools, and be organized and produced by the Corps. Kim Jong-won and Ishida Suke came from the same agricultural reclamation regiment (the Production and Construction Corps has the agricultural reclamation division as the largest unit, and there are several agricultural reclamation regiments under it, each regiment has an agricultural reclamation company, and the men of each division and regiment are naturally army reservists).

"I don't need you to say it, I also want to get the White Tiger Medal to make our father happy!" Ishida replied by looking back.

"What's the nonsense then, catch up, there are more monks and less porridge, and the credit is not enough to grab——"
