The commander of the Japanese tank saw that the distance was getting closer, and immediately ordered: "Driver, stop!" The loader loads the armor-piercing projectile, and the gunner prepares to fire! ”

The driver immediately stepped on the brakes, and the loader loaded the shells into the barrel, and the gun commander took aim for a while and fired, and one shell after another flew towards the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops, and the Japanese soldiers who finished shooting a shell did not wait at all, and loaded the second shell into the gun chamber, and the gun commander immediately pressed the firing button, and so on several times.

This is the Japanese tank in order to fight against the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops came up with a number of shots, the essence of this method of warfare is: in a short period of time out of a number of shells, there are quantities to make up for the lack of accuracy: so many shells will always have one hit, sure enough, the Japanese army's tactics have received miraculous results, an armor-piercing bullet just smashed on the front of a tank, if it is an armor-piercing shell, the explosive reactive armor can explode to interfere with the metal jet, but now this is an armor-piercing projectile, The explosives in the reactive armor box were not enough to neutralize the enormous kinetic energy of the armor-piercing projectiles.

And the armor-piercing bullet used by the Japanese army is the armor-piercing shell, this kind of shell Lin Yuan has seen when he was in Germany, the front end of this armor-piercing bullet is easily broken metal, and it is covered on the armor-piercing bullet in the shape of a cap, as if wearing a hat on the armor-piercing bullet, when the impact occurs, the cap of the head is broken first, and then leaves the bullet body, and the hard core behind penetrates or even penetrates the target's armor.

After the explosives in the reaction box exploded, the quilt cap was shattered, and the tungsten core inside smashed firmly on the armor, fortunately: this armor-piercing shell did not penetrate the frontal armor of Lin Yuan's tank, but the huge impact force destroyed all the observation and sighting equipment installed on the frontal turret, and the gyroscope of the HK-1 fire control system was also damaged, the gyroscope is the core element of the two-way stabilizer, and as soon as the gyroscope is broken, the fire control system completely loses the ability to stabilize the main gun!

The tank was so damaged that the commander immediately reported to his superiors and asked to withdraw from the battle, and the superiors could only approve it, but as soon as the tank withdrew from the battle, a gap suddenly appeared in the defense line of Lin Yuan's tank troops, and more Japanese tanks entered the range from this gap that could attack the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops.

Qian Songyu got the report of his subordinates and immediately thought: "We can't fight like this now, our number is small, sooner or later we will be eaten by all the Japanese tanks, we still have to retreat!" Qian Songyu then gave the order to retreat again, and the tank troops were forced to turn under the fire of the Japanese army.

The front of the car turned to the retreat direction, but the direction of the muzzle still needed to point to the Japanese, but when a tank turned the turret, it was found that a Japanese armor-piercing shell was stuck between the turret and the body, and the first armor of the tank of Lin Yuan's troops was wedge-shaped, although this armor could increase the probability of the enemy's armor-piercing bounce, but it also made the shell easy to get stuck in the gap between the wedge-shaped armor and the hull.

The kinetic energy of the armor-piercing projectile is extremely large, once stuck in the gap, it is as strong as a nail smashed into a wooden board by a sledgehammer, and the rotation of the turret is simply impossible to push the shell away, and the turret cannot rotate! So the tank exposed its most vulnerable turret tail during the steering process, and a Japanese armor-piercing shell directly hit the rear of the turret, penetrating the hull, and directly killing the commander and gun commander inside the hull.

The driver also felt the huge vibration when the armor-piercing shell penetrated the turret, so he immediately notified his superiors with a communicator, and the news was quickly reported to Qian Songyu, at this time Qian Songyu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, because he had received the news that eight tanks were damaged and destroyed, he knew that the current way of fighting was not good, but he didn't have any good way, he couldn't fight if he wanted to, he couldn't withdraw if he wanted to, so he could only hope that the reinforcements arrived as soon as possible, and at this time, the reinforcements of the seventh and eighth regiments arrived!

As soon as the tanks of these two regiments entered the battlefield, they concentrated all their strength to attack the right flank of the Japanese army, and as soon as this new force joined, the situation of the battlefield was immediately changed, and the Japanese tank troops could not resist it, and soon retreated, and the seventh and eighth regiments did not chase after them, allowing the Japanese to withdraw into Huangshi Ridge.

Qian Songyu immediately counted the battle damage, and then found out that nine tanks in his tank regiment were destroyed, and seven tanks were seriously damaged and could not be repaired on the battlefield, and they had to be sent to the base to be repaired, and the rest of the tanks were all damaged, and the damage rate was as high as 100 percent!

The commander of the 3rd Brigade heard from the city that the damage rate in this battle was as high as 100 percent, and immediately ran to the regimental headquarters of the 9th Regiment, Qian Songyu received him with a ashamed face, and asked from the city: "Although we destroyed more than 40 Japanese tanks in this battle, we ourselves suffered a lot of losses, what is this for?" ”

Qian Songyu said: "We have analyzed, we believe that our battle losses mainly come from two reasons, the first is intelligence, we did not know the number of Japanese tanks in advance, and thought that the number of Japanese tanks was not much, and we were not prepared for the Japanese tanks and sea tactics; The second is in terms of equipment and tactics, the new shells adopted by the Japanese army are very lethal, and the frontal armor of our tanks has been penetrated by their new shells at close range, and the Japanese army has adopted the method of firing multiple times, and the density of the shells is very large, and the hit rate has increased a lot. ”

"However, the biggest change in the Japanese tanks appeared in terms of mobility, it turned out that the Japanese tanks could not catch up with us at all, and we could fight as much as we wanted, but this time the mobility of the Japanese tanks was obviously stronger than ours, and we were caught up by the Japanese tanks at the beginning of the turn, and then we began to struggle."

Congcheng nodded and said: "It is not surprising that the Japanese tanks have reduced their weight and made a qualitative leap in mobility. ”

Qian Songyu said: "Brigade commander, now that the Japanese army is entrenched in Huangshi Ridge, should we attack them?" If we don't attack them, they will stop us in our way to attack the Japanese camp, and then we will not be able to achieve our stated goal. ”

Congcheng said: "That's right, if we don't defeat the Japanese tank troops in Huangshiling, we won't be able to attack the Japanese army in Jinshui Village, but according to the pilots of the 32nd Division, the terrain in Huangshiling is complicated, and we are afraid that there will be great losses if we attack rashly!" ”

Qian Songyu said: "Then it is better to send our infantry into Huangshiling, carrying dragon fist launchers, just like the battle of the brother troops in the area of Kaishantun, the observation of Japanese tanks in the mountains is limited, and they are definitely not the opponents of the infantry." ”

Congcheng said: "This method is good, I will order the infantry troops to enter Huangshi Ridge tonight and attack the Japanese tanks." ”

After saying that he had finished from the city, he went to give an order, and he gathered all the Dragon Fist firing groups of the Ninth Regiment and ordered them to enter the Yellowstone Ridge at nine o'clock in the evening to attack the Japanese army.
