Almost at the same time, 54 105 mountain guns lying in ambush in various concealed positions opened fire suddenly, and the twenty or thirty tanks rushing in front of the devil army were all turned into burning iron coffins in just a few seconds. The 105 caliber is a bit too powerful for the thin-skinned tank used to deal with the devil, especially now it is still a close range, so the armor-piercing bullets that Hu Weidong equipped them with are all long-established armor-piercing blasting shells, and the warhead material is still the cheapest low-alloy steel, but the effect is wonderful

Because the armor-piercing blasting projectile relies on kinetic energy to penetrate the armor and drill into the target and then detonate by the time-delay fuse, under the premise that it can penetrate the target's armor, its damage effect on the armored target is far stronger than the armor-piercing bullet that relies on metal jets to pierce the armor and kill the people in the car. And because of the frequent explosion of ammunition in the car, most of the corpses of the devils inside were blown up to a human shape, and even became a pile of minced meat at all, and if it hit other parts, the tank would definitely be completely reimbursed, and even the opportunity to repair the haode was gone

I only heard a loud "boom", and after the smoke cleared, a devil's latest Type 98 medium tank had turned into a pile of scrap metal, and Sun Youcai, the soldier in charge of carrying the shells, excitedly patted the gunner's shoulder and shouted, "Xiao Liu, this is already the 5th vehicle!" Your gunnery is amazing! ”

"The main thing is that the cannon is good." , Liu Shusheng, a young gunner who looked no more than twenty years old, said modestly, but the smile on his face betrayed him, but looking at the completely destroyed devil tank, he was somewhat reluctant, "This cannon is too powerful, and the tank will be completely scrapped after a shot, and it can't be repaired, it's a pity." ”

"If it's broken, it's broken, even if it's captured, it is estimated that it will not be distributed to our division, even if we have dozens of ironclad cars now. There are a lot of troops who are red-eyed, and they don't pee to take care of themselves, they can't read all the words, and they can't open it to them", Sun Youcai snorted. Said indifferently. Since ancient times, educated people in China have always generally looked down on the uneducated. Historically, even Taizu had not been able to solve this problem, let alone Hu Weidong, and the only thing he could do was to strengthen the literacy work in the army to narrow this gap as much as possible. But anyway. Without these highly educated soldiers, the artillery of the 15 th Group Army would not have been able to become as strong as it is today. And the people who felt this the most were the devils of the Japanese First Mecha Army, who only cut a few hundred meters forward into the enemy's position, and lost more than 200 tanks. More than half of them were caused by those 54 "anti-tank guns".

Counting the previous battle-damaged and broken down tanks, the Japanese First Mecha First Army, which had more than 1,400 tanks and armored vehicles at full strength, now has less than 800 left, and what is even worse is that the officers and men of the new 38th Division have dug out more than one "Golan trench", and according to the speed at which the devils are now advancing like a snail, the officers and men of the new 38th Division have completely time to dig out more "Golan trenches" in the rear. As a result, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Japanese Mecha Army, finally realized that he had no possibility of completely defeating the enemy, and although he was very unwilling, he still had to give the order to retreat. But how could Sun Liren let him leave easily?

After discovering that the enemy seemed to be beginning to retreat, Sun Liren immediately ordered 48 40-tube 122 rocket launchers that had been reloaded with rockets to launch a fierce artillery attack on the enemy, but unlike before, the target of this shelling was not the Japanese armored troops, but the so-called "mechanized troops" that relied on automobiles to maneuver behind the Japanese Mecha First Army. Because Sun Liren had deliberately let this kind of long-range rocket artillery be closed and pointed, and did not reveal their ultimate range, the devil's nearly 30,000 motorized troops did not realize that they had entered the range of enemy artillery

"How can it hit so far? Ah, it fell. Get out of the way, everybody! After the devil found that the fire rain galaxy was flying towards his side at high speed. They were all terrified. But in this open area, where can a guy as big as a car hide? And with the 122 rockets now exceeding Mach 2 at high speeds, it only takes a short time to fall on the heads of these devils, and before the thousands of cars of the devils have time to disperse, they are completely covered by this "meteor shower" that falls from the sky

As they did not expect to be shelled, the cars were generally close to each other, and the cars were not as armored as the tanks, so they suffered heavy losses under the stormy artillery fire. At the same time, because they did not hide in the car like the devil officers and soldiers of the armored unit, they experienced for the first time the horror of the rockets pouring down from the sky, and they were all frightened, especially a large part of the car drivers were frightened to drive away

Such a crowded and chaotic situation undoubtedly further increased the strike effect of the 48 40-barreled 122 rocket launchers of the new 38th Division, and what is even worse is that these guys blocked the retreat of the devil's armored troops, although it is not impossible to get around, but time has been wasted a lot, and on the battlefield, time is life! Due to the U-turn and retreat of the devil's tanks and armored vehicles, the anti-tank firepower of the new 38th Division no longer had to worry about its own safety, and could concentrate on attacking those tanks and armored vehicles, so the hit rate and rate of fire were greatly improved. Seeing that the enemy's defeat had been achieved, Sun Liren immediately ordered the whole army to counterattack, and the two types of vehicle-mounted artillery that had already advanced to the effective firing range also roared, which made the situation of the Japanese army even worse, so that some of the devils who had always been stoic and tenacious actually had a nervous breakdown and even went crazy

This battle had a tremendous impact on Chen Mingren, who was watching the battle with Sun Liren, who not only truly felt the strong strength of the 15 th Group Army, but was also completely conquered by the perfect performance of the artillery of the new 38th Division, and since then he has become a staunch "artilleryman." And there was far more than one such person who came out after this battle, and many even shouted cheers like "Long live the artillery". However, the artillery of the new 38th Division did deserve such praise for its performance in this battle, killing and wounding more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers in the short battle, and destroying and damaging (counting only the immovable tanks, assault guns, and armored vehicles) of no less than 300 tanks, assault guns, and armored vehicles, and they only paid for the destruction of 16 105 multi-purpose light howitzers, the small casualties of less than 100 people, and less than 30,000 rounds of artillery shells of various types, including rockets
