Mizuta Akito then followed Hasegawa Shigeo out and came to the station of the main artillery chariot wing, and the wing commander Kumamoto Shoichi knew the news that the two were coming, and was already waiting outside the camp.

Hasegawa Shigeo said to Kumamoto Shoichi: "Kumamoto-kun, we are here to see the Type 2 main gun combat vehicle, do you want to arrange it for us?" ”

Kumamoto Shoichi said: "Of course, some of our Type 2 main gun combat vehicles are in the warehouse, please come with me." ”

Hasegawa Shigeo then took Mizuta Akito and others to follow Kumamoto Shoichi to the warehouse, Hasegawa Shigeo said to Mizuta Akito: "Mizuta-kun, you have seen the first type of main gun combat vehicle before, you can first take a look at the difference between the second type of main gun combat vehicle and the first type of main gun combat vehicle." ”

Mizuta Mingyuan nodded, Kumamoto Shoichi pointed to a row of houses next to him with his hand, and said, "Please come with me, there is a type 2 main artillery chariot in it." ”

Everyone then followed Kumamoto to the door of the row of houses, and an old soldier opened the door of the house, and everyone walked in, and when Mizuta Aketo saw the main gun chariot, he was surprised and said, "Why is its barrel so long?" ”

Kumamoto Shoichi pointed behind with his hand and said, "Fujita Izumo, come over and explain to the commander of the Mizuda Division." With the voice, Fujita Izumo came to Mizuta Mingyuan, Kumamoto Shoichi pointed at Fujita Izumo and said: "Commander of the Mizuta Division, this is Fujita Izumo, the head of the equipment section, the key parts of the second main gun combat vehicle are the key parts of the second type of main gun combat vehicle that he risked death to transport from the Japanese mainland, his transport ship was first shelled by Lin Yuan's warship, and then touched a mine in Wonsan Port, he is a warrior of the Japanese Empire!" ”

Mizuta Mingyuan nodded again and again and said, "Fujita-kun behaved very well!" ”

Fujita Izumo said humbly: "The commander of the Mizuta Division once fought against Lin Yuan's troops with real swords, you are the real warrior of the empire, I dare not compare with you." ”

Mizuta Mingyuan said with a smile: "Since you are the head of the equipment section, then please introduce to me why the barrel of this type of main gun combat vehicle is so long, right?" ”

Fujita Izumo said: "To put it simply, the longer the barrel, the faster the flight speed of the shell, and the stronger the lethality to the enemy's armored targets, in previous battles, many times our shells could not penetrate the armor of the main artillery combat vehicle of Lin Yuan's troops, so we lengthened the barrel, not only that, but we also improved the shells, and now this type of shell is a tungsten core armor-piercing projectile, and the armor-piercing ability is very strong!" ”

Mizuta Aketo asked, "Tungsten core armor-piercing bullet?" What is that? ”

Fujita Izumo replied: "The armor-piercing ability of armor-piercing shells is closely related to the material used to pierce armor, and the harder the material, the stronger the armor-piercing ability, so the experts of the empire used very hard tungsten as the material for armor-piercing bullets. ”

Mizuta Mingyuan nodded, and then went to look at the second type of main gun tank, and then found that the turret of the second type of main gun tank is much smaller than that of the first type of main gun tank, and the size of the entire tank is also much smaller than that of the first type of main gun tank, and he couldn't help but say: "This type of main gun tank seems to be much smaller than the first type of main gun tank, such a small body, can the protection force work?" ”

Fujita Izumo smiled when he heard this, and said, "Commander of the Mizuda Division, this type of main artillery combat vehicle doesn't need protection at all!" ”

Mizuta Mingyuan was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Don't need defense? Wouldn't it be incapable of surviving on the battlefield? ”

Fujita Izumo said with a smile: "Commander of the Mizuta Division, you listen to me explain slowly, I said that it has no protective power, it is not the protection of the main artillery fighting vehicle of Lin Yuan's troops, we analyzed the armor-piercing shells used by the main artillery combat vehicles of Lin Yuan's troops, and found that the armor-piercing depth of their armor-piercing shells is very large, and if we want to defend it, we need to thicken the armor, but the armor of our main artillery combat vehicle is already very thick, and if we want to thicken it, the mobility will be gone, so we made an ingenious design - since we can't prevent it, then simply don't defend it!" ”

Mizuta Mingyuan said in surprise: "Just don't take precautions? What do you mean? ”

Fujita Izumo said: "The meaning of simply not defending is this: this type of main artillery combat vehicle can defend against the blow of the heavy machine gun of the Lin Yuan army, but it cannot defend against the attack of the shells of the Lin Yuan army, omit the armor, improve the mobility of the combat vehicle, so that it can fight and run on the battlefield." ”

"We found in the previous stage of the battle that the main artillery fighting vehicle of Lin Yuan's army can fire artillery while on the move, while our main artillery fighting vehicle cannot do this, but after our lightweight improvement, the mobility of the second main gun combat vehicle has been greatly improved, and now the time for short stop shooting is very short, which is enough to cause fatal damage to the main artillery combat vehicle of Lin Yuan's army."

"And this type of main artillery combat vehicle is petite, especially suitable for the battlefield environment of many woods and mountains, our main artillery combat vehicle can advance and retreat freely in these environments, and use the environment to attack the main artillery combat vehicle of Lin Yuan's troops, the reason why Lin Yuan's troops have strong combat effectiveness is all because their main gun combat vehicles are powerful, as for the combat effectiveness of their infantry, there is still a certain gap with our infantry of the Imperial Japanese Army."

"Therefore, the combat purpose of our main artillery fighting vehicles is no longer to cover the infantry for battle, but to fight against the main artillery fighting vehicles of Lin Yuan's troops, play the role of the killer of the main artillery fighting vehicles, and destroy all the main artillery fighting vehicles, and there will be nothing to be afraid of Lin Yuan's troops."

Mizuta Mingyuan nodded again and again and said, "Very good, it seems that we will succeed in this battle." ”

Fujita Izumo continued: "And the Type 2 main gun combat vehicle also has a very big advantage, that is, it is cheap to build, simple in structure, and can be manufactured quickly and in large quantities, and now we have built more than 300 units!" And it is also very easy to operate, it only takes three days to train a gun commander! It is also equipped with new communication equipment, and it is not afraid of interference from Lin Yuan's troops when talking at close range! ”

Mizuta Mingyuan nodded again and again, and then Hasegawa Shigeo smiled: "Mizuta-kun, how do you look?" If you can see the same, go back with me, and we can discuss the battle. ”

Mizuta Aketo then followed Hasegawa Shigeo back to the command room, and Kumamoto Shoichi also participated as a representative of the chariot wing, at which Hasegawa Shigeo first said: "The main purpose of our battle is to open the passage from Jiju to Hamgyong Mountain and rescue the 2nd Division in Hamgyong Mountain, so we will focus on attacking here!" ”

After Hasegawa Shigeo finished speaking, he put a little more weight on the map and said, "Umekari! We have to focus on attacking this place, this place in Mui Xiangli controls the passage in and out of Hamgyong Mountain, and the second division will definitely pass through here if it wants to come out, so this is also the key defense place for Lin Yuan's troops! ”

Shuitian Mingyuan said: "Yes, we should indeed focus on attacking there, but there is one point, Lin Yuan's troops are extremely strong, and we are afraid that we will not be able to attack it." ”

Shigeo Hasegawa said: "I have already thought of this possibility, so we have to take advantage of the weakness of Lin Yuan's troops and take Mei Xiangli in one fell swoop!" ”

Mizuta Mingyuan hurriedly asked, "The weakness of Lin Yuan's troops?" What are the weaknesses of Lin Yuan's troops? ”
