Qian Guangming used to be just a regiment leader under He Zhengchuan. Later, as He Zheng was promoted to the commander of the Third Division, the tide rose, and he became the brigade commander of the chariot brigade under his command.

The officers of the former Cadet Corps all have a distinctive characteristic: they are young. Qian Guangming is no exception, don't look at the name of old money and old money on weekdays, in fact, the so-called old money is only twenty-five this year.

The cadet army has developed from the initial cadet army training class to today's group army, and the composition of the soldiers has long jumped out of the category of "cadet soldiers". Of the four current corps of the Cadet Army, the pure Cadet Corps no longer exists. Even if it came from the old team of Jicha, the composition of the cadets only accounted for about two divisions, and they were scattered and assigned to various units. However, don't underestimate them, it is precisely because of their existence that Ouyang Yun's series of military reforms with obvious traverser characteristics can be carried out smoothly. Among the many branches of the armed forces, the teams with relatively high scientific content, such as chariots, artillery, air forces, etc., have relatively high requirements for the cultural quality of soldiers, so the taste of learning soldiers is particularly strong.

Qian Guangming is a standard student, and he is a well-documented senior brother of Chu Tiange.

Jiguang tanks are nominally modern, but in fact they are still far from being modernized in the true sense. However, there is a world of difference between the operation of knowledge and the operation of illiterate soldiers.

As we all know, the appearance of tanks was in a world war, and until now, except for a very few countries in the world that have listed them as a separate branch of the army, most of them still regard tanks as auxiliary arms of infantry even if they have them. And those who study tank tactics as a specialized tactic seem to have no semicolon except Germany. Even Japan, which claims to be the second largest army in the world, has a very limited understanding of tanks.

Of course, this seems to be changing. Ouyang Yun's little butterfly wings have not yet had much impact on China, but little Japan seems to have been greatly affected, such as the part of the Japanese army they are facing now - the Yamada Detachment is only a brigade at best, but it is equipped with a new Type 99 tank of the wing, which makes Ouyang Yun have to think about it and even be frightened.

At that time, Little Japan was known for its imitation and re-improvement. The new Type 99 tank, designed and manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, is almost identical to the Jiguang prototype tank in terms of appearance and weapon configuration. Of course, due to technical limitations, this is only limited to the outside, and those things inside, because the Japanese have not been able to capture a tank as a reference, so there is still a big difference. The most specific thing is: the effective range of the Jiguang L-II, the main tank in the Qian Guangming Brigade, has reached 3,200 meters, and the speed has reached about 70 kilometers per hour; Although the Japanese Type 99 is also a 105 mm caliber gun, the maximum firing range is only more than 3,000 meters, and the effective firing range is only a mere 1,200 meters, and the speed is only 40 kilometers per hour. It is not difficult to find that although the Japanese army's Type 99 has the form of the Jiguang type, in fact, the technical parameters are far behind.

The effective range of the Jiguang L-II tank is 3,200 meters, and because there is no high-precision sight, it is quite difficult to accurately hit the target at such a distance. Through daily training, Qian Guangming came to the conclusion that the optimal firing range of this main tank is 1200 meters and 1600 meters, that is, its combat efficiency is the best at this distance.

Amid the rumbling of engines, almost identical tanks on both sides were rapidly approaching. Even if Zhilu Dao is in a cold battlefield, the two warring sides of the confrontation, whether it is the Japanese army or the student army, everyone witnesses all this, and it is inevitable that they will have a trace of curiosity, who is more powerful in these two almost identical tanks?

"Master, this little devil is clearly plagiarized by us, TMD, it's too shameless!" In Qian Guangming's headphones, Su Qiang, the commander of the Fifth Tank Regiment, said indignantly.

The word plagiarism is naturally Ouyang Yun's "invention and creation", Qian Guangming didn't pay attention to this chatter, and ordered: "Each regiment is deployed in platoons, pay attention to covering each other, and maintain the best firing distance." ”

The Japanese Army's Type 99 was relatively successful in imitation from the appearance alone, but the internal strength was too poor, except for the serious defects in the tank gun and engine, and it was not even equipped with a radio, let alone equipped with communication equipment.

As the tank units of both sides approached again, the officers and men of the 022nd and 040th regiments, except for a few lookout posts, had once again taken refuge in anti-artillery shelters or air-raid shelters.

"Boom!" The cannon finally rang out, and it was the Japanese who fired first. The Japanese tank that was in front of the tank suddenly stopped, and after a short period of aiming, fired a shot at a tank of the Cadet Army. At this time, the distance between the two sides is about 2400 meters.

The Cadet Army tank numbered 0504 saw a Japanese tank shooting at itself, and the commander and platoon commander Fu Jinghua didn't even blink his eyes, and continued to direct the tank to move forward steadily. Before the machine gunner got into the cab, he saw a ball of fire firing at him, and he was a little nervous, and said at this time: "Platoon commander, the little devil is firing at us." ”

Fu Jinghua replied very simply: "Come down, ignore him, and close the lid." ”

"Hey!" The machine gunner came down, and as soon as he closed the lid, he heard the sound of "hoo" shells flying in his ears, and a few seconds later there was an explosion from behind - "Boom! ”

Although the bomb was aimed at them, it flew over without even touching the hair of their tank, and then exploded on a sandy ground more than 50 meters behind them.

Qian Guangming noticed the situation here, and shouted in the communicator: "The little devil is tempting, ignore them, keep in formation, and continue to move forward." Zhang Cheng! ”

"Here!"

"I saw the reeds in front of me on the left. After we drop smoke grenades, you take a battalion and lie in ambush there, and when the Japanese convoy is drawn by us, attack them from the flank. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Cheng was the commander of the 4th Tank Regiment, and after receiving the new order, he ordered the 3rd Battalion of his regiment to slow down, and then consciously approached, gradually forming a small phalanx that was different from the large army.

In large-scale tank battles, infantry is useless, which makes Qiang Wentu and Chen Shaobing, the commander of the 040 regiment, very depressed. At this moment, the chariot troops led by Qian Guangming had already galloped over their heads, and the advance of the Japanese chariot troops was only a thousand meters away from them. Chen Shaobing was unwilling to be lonely, personally acted as a lookout, lying on the ground with a telescope, he looked at the opposite side, and saw that the three tanks in front of the little devil suddenly stopped, and then, the whole body shook violently at the same time, and then, as soon as the muzzle of the gun was raised, three flames burst out at the same time, and he couldn't help but say: "What is this Qian Guangming doing?" If you are so close to the enemy, don't hurry up and open fire! Isn't this passively beaten! As soon as he finished saying this, suddenly, dozens of Jiguang tanks of various types displayed around him suddenly stopped in unison, and after a few short seconds, there was a shock again, and then there was a loud "boom", he only felt that the land around him trembled, as if there was an earthquake, and there was a buzzing in his ears, and he subconsciously wanted to close his eyes, but it was still too late. In the sky-high red light, his eyes were flickered and temporarily blinded for about half a minute, and when his eyes regained their vision, and then looked towards the devil's position, he saw that in a firelight, more than a dozen little devils' chariots were hit at the same time, and the parts of the chariots, even the turrets, and the stumps of people flew up in all directions, and then there was a continuous deafening explosion - "boom" - in the explosion, the screams of people could be faintly heard, and he was still shocked after a long battle. He couldn't help but mutter, "What a terrible artillery cover!" This money is bright, there is a set! Looking at those steel chariots again, his eyes couldn't help but be full of envy, and he even thought: If my regiment had such ten tanks, how cool would it be?! That's ten fast-moving cannons!

Today's tactics of the tank unit were discussed by Ouyang Yun and Qian Guangming a few days ago. After learning that the Japanese army also had a special tank unit, the tactics of fighting tanks became a key topic for the staff officers of the front-line command of the Cadet Corps. Ouyang Yun was born in the special forces, although he had also driven tanks in that time and space, and was even carried to participate in several battles, but because he was on a special mission, the enemy did not have tanks, so he was also quite unfamiliar with the tactics of tanks fighting tanks. In this time and space, at least temporarily, the firepower superiority of the Jiguang tank is unquestionable. It was with this fully taken into account and after brainstorming that they decided that instead of engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the little devil's tank, it was better to concentrate firepower and let it give full play to the advantages of the artillery group covering and shooting, and bully the little devil's firepower and ability to move.

In this round of covered shelling, Qian Guangming only let each tank shoot three shots. The reason is that the tank in front is too close to the little devil, and if you stay in one place for a long time, it is a live target, you must know that after the caliber of the Japanese tank gun has come up, the armor advantage of the Jiguang tank has been weakened, once you stay in one place and be beaten passively, if you are hit by two guns in a row, the result is very unpredictable.

Facts have proved that Qian Guangming's consideration is not groundless. Because just when he ordered the troops to retreat and set off smoke bombs at the same time, four of the twelve tanks in the first phalanx had been hit, and one of them was actually hit on the side, which caused its armor to be directly penetrated, and as a result, the shells in the cab were detonated, so that this Jiguang was directly blown up and disintegrated, and none of the four fighters inside survived. Of the other three tanks that were hit, one of them was incapacitated because the track was blown off, so it could only be used as a fixed battery to cover the retreat of the other tanks.

In order to ensure the saturation of artillery fire, the distance between the front and rear of the first tank and the last tank was a full one and a half kilometers. It was precisely because of the range of the tank in the phalanx behind the furt that the tank in the first phalanx could not fire until it was only about a kilometer away from the Japanese tank. In this way, although the coverage of artillery fire was ensured, at the same time, it also made the situation of the first phalanx tanks dangerous. Because, the tank platoon of a wing of the Japanese army was in a relatively dense formation, and it was impossible to destroy all so many tanks by relying on three salvos. Then, after the covering shelling, the situation faced by this sudden front team is dangerous, and what awaits them next is definitely the siege of Japanese tanks. In order to minimize the losses, Qian Guangming not only let the troops use smoke bombs, a new weapon, but also let Zhang Cheng lead a battalion of tanks to take the opportunity to ambush to the left side, as a surprise force to contain the Japanese firepower.

When hundreds of smoke grenades were fired at the same time, just a few minutes later, the area where the tank unit of the Cadet Corps was located was completely covered in smoke. The smoke blocked the view of the Japanese tankers, and Mei Yamada took stock of the situation and suppressed his anger, causing the troops to slow down their march and carry out tentative artillery bombardment while slowly advancing forward.

In the three rounds of salvo fire just now, the tank wing of the Yamada detachment suffered a heavy blow, and the area that was hit by artillery fire was almost completely lost, and the tanks of a brigade located in the middle of the entire tank cluster were almost lost, which made Yamada Meiji angry and screamed "Eight Ge Yalu" at the same time, and also aroused the revenge of the little devil. "Rush up and tear apart the chariot of the China!" The commanders of many little devils shouted like this, and the tanks under the command seat frantically rushed towards the Cadet Army tanks that were rushing at the front. However, the smoke rose and the line of sight was blocked, and after a few shots, the little devils did not dare to make a mistake, and slowed down one after another.

There was wind on the battlefield, and the effect of the smoke grenades did not last long. After just a quarter of an hour, the tanks of the Cadet Corps were once again in full force. The difference is that at this time, the tank at the front of the Cadet Army was also two kilometers away from the Japanese army. Yamada Meiji witnessed all this, and he had already learned that this was some kind of tactic of the Shina people. He got out of the turret and looked at the Type 99 tank that was still burning behind him, and what a pain in his heart! After pondering for a while, seeing that the tank of the Zhina people was slowly approaching again, he spat fiercely, waved his command knife and shouted: "The front is slowly advancing, and the rear is accelerating forward, forming a long snake formation - surround it!" Yamada did this, obviously because he had just learned the lesson and came up with a targeted approach. In this way, once the Japanese front is lengthened, if the Cadet Army still adopts the tactics just now, it is obvious that its multi-level artillery bombardment will not be able to achieve the covering effect. And the reason why he made this adjustment so decisively was based on the long line of the chariots of the Cadet Army, and he thought that it was difficult to convey his orders - also, if there was no radio communication equipment, it would be difficult for Qian Guangming to issue a new order if he relied solely on verbal transmission or flag command, but what Yamada didn't expect was that the Jiguang tank was equipped with a more advanced radio communication system.

As soon as Qian Guangming saw the Japanese army's intention to change formations, a somewhat hideous smile appeared on his face. He said fiercely: "Stupid! He picked up the microphone and began to issue a new order: "All of them are here, with 0417 as the base, spread out left and right, with a range of five hundred meters, and each of them will select a target - prepare for shelling." Zhang Cheng, based on the sound of artillery bombardment by the large army, prepare to attack! ”

Zhang Cheng: "Roger!" ”

Ten minutes later, in the scattered sound of shelling, the prototype of the Japanese army's long snake formation was formed. And the distance between the five phalanxes of the main force of the Cadet Army has also been shortened a lot, and the 0417 at the front is less than 1,500 meters away from the Japanese tanks. At this time, there was a loud "boom", and a violent explosion suddenly occurred at the position of a Jiguang turret in the first phalanx, and then, in the continuous explosion, the Jiguang and the soldiers inside were surrounded by flames - witnessing this scene, Qian Guangming gritted his teeth, stared coldly ahead, and ordered: "Attack!" ”

"Boom-" The roar of the engine suddenly became louder, and all the tanks collectively accelerated, and after a few minutes, with Qian Guangming's tank suddenly stopped, and then the gun chamber spit out a stream of flames, and the sound of "boom" was endless, and all the tanks of the Cadet Army opened fire, and the entire battlefield was filled with roaring and gunsmoke, and on the Japanese position, there were one explosion point after another, among them, five Type 99 were directly hit, and three were immediately blown into pieces, and the turret was blown into the sky together with the devils inside.

At this time, the closest Cadet Army tank to the Japanese army was also 1,200 meters away. The farthest is 2,500 meters. At such a distance, the shells fell so densely, and Yamada Meiji immediately realized that this was the result of the unified dispatch of the commander of the Shina tank. He screamed, "Shoot back!" While thinking: How did the people of China do it? Or they had prepared in advance, but they didn't see the flag bearer waving the flag! If it was true that the people of China had predicted the changes in our army in advance, then their commander's consciousness was too advanced. No, it can't be like this, it must be that the people of China have some secret contact method that we don't know about.

Yamada Meier was bothering to guess that Zhang Cheng had already led the third battalion to rush out from the hiding place on the left. And they were faced with eleven Type 99 tanks facing them sideways. These eleven tanks belonged to a tank squadron of the devils, and were commanded by the squadron leader, Second Lieutenant Manji Kiyobei. At this time, his attention was completely focused on the phalanx of the Cadet Army tanks in front of the right, and the plan in his heart was to rush up at full speed with his squadron, and then turn slightly to the right, so that he could face the side of the Chinese tank, so that he would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the Chinese tank. As long as a hole is torn in the phalanx of the Chinese people, then it will inevitably be able to disrupt the formation of the Chinese people, thereby reducing the pressure on the main force in the middle. Undoubtedly, if Manji Qingbei could really do this, the situation he expected would definitely appear, but unfortunately, Zhang Cheng would not give him this opportunity.

The Japanese Type 99 tank did not have viewing holes on the side. And because it was a pure tank battle, in order to prevent the machine gunners from being injured by bomb fragments, almost all the tanks on both sides of the warring were covered with their caps, except for some command vehicles. In this way, the activities of Zhang Cheng's subordinates about 1,500 meters away from the Manci Qing Guards became completely invisible.

Zhang Cheng led his troops to rush towards the Japanese army at the fastest speed, while preparing all the tank gunners to shoot. His idea was to get as close as possible to the Japanese in order to get the best firing distance, and if the Japanese were spotted, then immediately stop and fire first.

What surprised him was that although their actions were blatant and even a little audacious—at this time, they had already appeared in the left rear of the Japanese army, and they were only about a kilometer away from the nearest devil tank, but none of the eleven tanks in front of them on the right changed direction and were facing them to seize the plane.

What does this mean? Didn't the little devils find them? Or did they deliberately ignore their own small army?

One thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters - I don't know what the road is for, Zhang Cheng's heart is already beating wildly. You must know that at a distance of 500 meters, for those excellent gunners under him, it is almost possible to achieve 100 shots.

Not only Zhang Cheng, but also the officers and soldiers under him also felt it. Wang Ping, the commander of the third battalion, shouted in the public channel in an unbelievable tone: "Won't it? What does little devil mean? Pouting ass let's spank? It's okay! Let's fight! ”

Zhang Cheng sneered twice and said, "Get closer!" Ha Luha, this time I made a lot of money. Brothers, you can only aim at one car per car, I'll assign it! Wang Ping, you just hit ......"

It is indeed unbelievable to say that the 25 tanks led by Zhang Cheng were able to be assigned to a specific target according to their numbers. And the strike range has long exceeded the eleven tanks closest to them, because the other tank group of the little devils is only more than 500 meters away from them.

said that Qian Guangming found out about Zhang Chengbu's bold actions, and his heart couldn't help but pound - what a good opportunity! Just imagine, once Zhang Cheng's troops successfully annihilated the small cluster of devil tanks on the left side, and then attacked the center, then it would be equivalent to forming a two-sided attack on the large Japanese army! Grandma's, these little devils are too stupid, aren't they? Well, in that case, let's win the battle! "The whole army retreats slowly, pay attention to suppressive shooting! You can't let the little devils add speed! Huang Qiao, what are you doing, kid! Don't rush, go back...... Zhang Cheng, steady, don't worry, get closer. Well, one stares at one target, right! Ha Lu Ha! ……”
