"Enemy front turn" was originally only a tactic used by a few tank units, in order to give full play to the excellent performance of the HK-1 fire control system, and later this tactic was slowly promoted to the tank units of the whole army, and gradually became the standard tactic of Lin Yuan's tank troops, which was called "death turn tactic" by Lin Yuan's troops.

The tank of Lin Yuan's army immediately turned to the east after receiving the order, Qian Songyu's command tank rushed to the front, the tank was in the process of turning, the muzzle of the gun was also aimed at the direction of the Japanese army, and it could attack the Japanese tank at any time, Qian Songyu's command tank was galloping to the east side, at this time the gun commander said with some surprise: "Regiment commander, the Japanese tank seems to be a little different?" ”

Qian Songyu said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just that the barrel has become longer and the body has become smaller?" Lin Shuai has already been informed. ”

The artillery commander said: "Regiment commander, it's not like this, the speed of the Japanese tanks seems to be much faster!" ”

Qian Songyu asked, "A lot faster?" What does that mean? ”

The gun commander said: "Several Japanese tanks have already rushed to our diagonal front!" They walked in a diagonal line and we walked in a straight line so that they could all get ahead of us, indicating that they must be faster than ours! Qian Songyu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and thought to himself: "The success of the death turn tactic is largely because our tanks are far more mobile than the Japanese tanks, and the Japanese tanks can't catch up with us at all, so we can comfortably turn the tanks to the leading position, but if the Japanese tanks are faster than us, they will definitely catch up with us and fight with us, so the advantage of the death turn tactics will be gone!" ”

Qian Songyu's heart trembled when he thought of this, and thought: "No, we must not let the Japanese tanks catch up with us!" So he ordered the gunner: "Hurry up and attack the tanks that are catching up!" ”

The artillery commander said: "Commander, not now, there is a dirt slope in the direction of their travel, and they turned to the back of the dirt slope, I can't see them." ”

Qian Songyu said: "Then pay attention to the other side of the dirt slope, it is impossible for the Japanese tank to turn to the back of the dirt slope and not come out, right?" Qian Songyu leaned his head closer to the periscope as he spoke, observing the situation outside, when he suddenly saw a "petite" tank turn out from the edge of the dirt slope!

Qian Songyu hurriedly said: "At three o'clock, I found a Japanese tank!" ”

The artillery commander heard Qian Songyu's words and hurriedly turned the muzzle, searched and aimed, but at this time the Japanese tank had stopped, and the muzzle moved with Qian Songyu's tank, Qian Songyu knew that although the fire control system of the Japanese tank was not good, the quality of the tank crew was still good, and the hit rate of static movement was good.

Qian Songyu hurriedly said: "Gun commander, open the cannon immediately!" "Qian Songyu is also a tanker, and it is very important to know that it is very important for the enemy to attack first on the battlefield, if this shell hits the Japanese tank, then the Japanese tank will no longer be able to shoot itself! That's why Qian Songyu ordered the gun commander to fire first.

The gunner said in a loud voice: "Understood! Qian Songyu then felt that the turret was gentle, that feeling was too familiar to him, that is, the main gun shook when it was fired, Qian Songyu felt relieved in his heart, and thought: "It should be no problem, the probability of our shell hitting is quite high, as long as it hits the Japanese tank, it will not be a threat to us." ”

But at this moment, Qian Songyu heard the anxious voice of the artillery commander: "Not good! Typing a mistake! ”

Qian Songyu hurriedly said, "What went wrong?" ”

The artillery commander replied: "The shell, I made a mistake, I wanted to break the armor shell, but it turned out to be a grenade!" ”

Qian Songyu thought to himself: "It turned into a grenade!" The lethality of the grenade is not enough to destroy the Japanese tank! Then we are still in danger! Qian Songyu was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the gun commander say excitedly: "The Japanese tank was damaged by a grenade!" ”

Qian Songyu hurriedly turned the periscope to look, and sure enough, he found that the Japanese tank had stopped, and the barrel of the gun had turned an angle to the bottom, obviously it had been blown up! Qian Songyu thought to himself: "What's going on? Our grenades actually blew up the Japanese tanks! It must have been the Japanese tanks that drastically reduced the thickness of their armor and weakened their defenses, so that they could not stop the grenade attack. ”

Qian Songyu was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard his subordinates in the communicator say loudly: "Report to the regiment commander, in the direction of our tank formation at twelve o'clock, a Japanese tank unit appeared!" ”

Qian Songyu was shocked when he heard this report, and thought: "Our Japanese troops appeared in the direction of twelve o'clock? That doesn't mean that we have been completely blocked by the Japanese troops, and our 'death turn tactics' have failed! What can I do? We have a small number of tanks, and if we can't give full play to our quality advantage and fight the Japanese army, then we will be in a disadvantageous position! So, now we must retreat! Team up with two other regiments of tank troops! ”

Thinking of this, Qian Songyu immediately ordered: "All units pay attention, retreat to the north!" Free Fire! However, as soon as the order was given, I heard a report from the battalion commander of my subordinate: "Our unit has exchanged fire with the Japanese army and cannot retreat!" The commander of the second and third battalions also reported one after another: "Our unit has exchanged fire with the Japanese army!" ”

Qian Songyu secretly screamed in his heart, and thought: "This is bad, we are really entangled by the Japanese army!" Then we can only repel the Japanese tanks first! So Qian Songyu ordered: "All units, go all out to kill and injure the Japanese tanks!" After giving this order, he contacted the brigade commander Congcheng and said: "Our unit has exchanged fire with the Japanese army, please send troops to support it quickly." ”

Congcheng hurriedly asked, "Didn't our 'Death Turn Tactic' work?" ”

Qian Songyu said: "The Japanese tanks are very fast, we didn't get rid of them, they caught up, and now we are fighting with them." ”

The tank units of the 7th and 8th regiments were immediately ordered from the city to abandon the infantry and attack the Japanese tank units, and the 7th and 8th regiments then left the infantry units behind and drove as fast as they could.

Outside Huangshiling, the 9th Regiment and the 1st Wing of Japanese Tanks were engaged in a major battle, and the Japanese tanks gave full play to their numerical superiority and pounced on the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops like a tide, while the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops gave full play to their quality advantages and used the HK-1 fire control system to fire at the Japanese tanks at a long distance.

Under the advanced fire control system, the Japanese tanks were basically hit by armor-piercing shells as soon as they entered a distance of 1,500 meters, and the Japanese tanks abandoned their thick armor and were simply vulnerable in the face of armor-piercing shells, and soon more than a dozen tanks were destroyed, and they were either killed by the commander and artillery commander, withdrew from the battlefield, or were martyred and exploded and flew into the turret, but the Japanese tanks were too many, and more than a dozen Japanese tanks finally pulled the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops into their firing range.
