547 Vulnerable Turtle Shell

Hayami also agrees with this method of warfare, because the Western European battlefield has proven that surprise attacks can maximize the value of tanks, and let him now face those Shermans head-on, which is almost equivalent to death. So after they finished their calculations, Hayami secretly left the battlefield with 16 tanks, preparing to come back in a circle to attack the enemy.

When he set off, the captain also had a lot of thoughts in his heart, if he could not arrive in time, or if the enemy saw through his intentions halfway, it would be equivalent to defeat. On the contrary, the Indian Abadi was full of confidence, and the terrain within a radius of 1,000 square kilometers was all in his mind, which he had spent a month riding on a donkey and riding on an ox cart to carefully investigate. At that time, the British set up cards everywhere to check suspicious people, he did not bring pen and paper, only his own eyes, and the memory of abnormal people, he memorized all the terrain after walking through the field, and he had a good understanding of military geography, and knew very well what kind of vehicles could pass on those roads. He felt that everything was the will of the gods, so that his talents could play a role in the cause of the independence of the motherland, so he never doubted that the battle could be lost.

Sure enough, the tanks shuttled through the wilderness with the infantry, but they never ran into the Chinese army, and it was obvious that the enemy came in a hurry, did not occupy the flank area, and saw that the chances of a successful sneak attack were getting bigger and bigger. Once the attack is successful, it can not only turn the tide in one fell swoop, but also shoot at Sherman's rear from a kilometer away. They don't know that the drone above their heads is watching their every move.

At the same time, Zhao Xiaoli's people were also busy driving in, they sat on the half-track car, and they were impatient to start assembling the bazooka, this thing looks like a rough seamless steel pipe, the launch is not by the firing pin but by electric shock, two wires need to be twisted to different pile heads, the wire is not positive and negative can not remember, the instructor said, but most people did not pay too much attention. The instructor also said that the reload must be carried out before launching, so as not to leak the battery and cause it to not be able to fire or misfire during combat, but no one cares about this, and some teams have already started to load ammunition in the car.

There is only a simple fixed ruler on the bazooka. There are only three things to note, one. No one can stand behind the rocket artillery; Two, try to aim at the side of the target (it's nonsense), and third, you must get as close as possible (also nonsense).

It seems that this is an easy weapon to use, the same infantry weapon, the mortar and grenadier canister seem rudimentary but it needs to be taught, or it may be headed. The Chinese army captured the Japanese grenadiers, but in fact, it was also difficult to use them. The thing had to be fired at a fixed angle of 45°, and the distance was controlled by adjusting the chamber pressure. If you can't use it, you may not be able to hit one of the 100 rounds.

Mortars are more difficult, you have to learn ballistics and ranging, and this thing in front of you seems to be designed for the most ordinary soldiers. Like a cannon that can be carried on your shoulder, it hits wherever you point, and there is no recoil.

The half-track car bumped on the undulating ground, and on the car at the end, a bazooka crashed to the ground and fired ammunition. With a bang, * rushed into the sky, and the gas below ignited everyone's clothes, hair, eyebrows, and braked in time to crash, fortunately there was a small river next to it, and a car of people climbed into the river to extinguish the fire. They should also be unlucky, the insurance of this weapon that has not yet been officially shaped is very unreliable, and it is easy to loosen when it is bumpy, and these defects are destined to be slowly improved in the constant scolding of front-line soldiers.

In the distance, the Japanese troops on the march saw something fly into the sky and then fall. The loud noise of the tanks drowned out the indistinct sound of explosions in the distance. Hayami was in the first car, wondering if it was a flare, a sign that he had been discovered? But no, flares don't fly as low.

Zhao Xiaoli scolded and drove everyone out of the car and into the preset position.

This is the ambush site designated by Chief Chu Ting, a valley that tanks can barely pass through. He was still worried that a half-track truck might have burned out, and he didn't know if it would startle the snake. As soon as I saw this place, I couldn't help but feel excited, Chu Shizuo must be a fairy, casually pointing on the map, it turned out to be an ambush position made in heaven, as long as the enemy came in, under the crossfire on both sides, it was almost impossible to fight back.

Zhao Xiaoli ordered the troops to disperse along the valley and set up positions in each of the five platoons to check camouflage. His men are all masters of camouflage, and immediately collect leaves for basic camouflage, including body and weapons. In general, an enemy who is hurrying by may not be able to detect it even if he is 20 meters away.

Because cooling water was hard to find, they only brought one heavy machine gun, but the whole company had as many as eighteen light machine guns and forty or so Thomson*, and many more* and Mauser pistols, so the guard company could give priority to the selection of equipment, and the number of rifles that the general company accounted for was minimized. It was reserved only for sharpshooters in the troops, and it was used to shoot enemy officers. That is, those who do not wear steel helmets, have human beards, or carry knives, or look unpleasant.

The original twelve bazookas of the guard company have now become eleven, and the anti-tank weapons in the hands of the rest of the people are American*, which weighs two taels of one pound and two taels, and weighs four taels earlier than Gong, and it is not far to throw it with less strength, but it is more than twice as powerful, and sometimes it can also be anti-tank. It is said that if * explodes under the chassis of a Japanese tank, it is possible to vomit blood from the driver whose butt is closest to the floor of the tank.

After preparing this, the hill scout reported through the walkie-talkie that the enemy tank was coming, and everything was as clever as the division's clever calculation. Even the tank with infantry, the division seat guessed. Fourteen tanks were reported, two fewer than the divisional base had predicted.

Zhao Xiaoli used his packing to beckon the people who had set up ambushes on both sides of the valley to prepare for battle, and soon they could hear the loud noise of the tanks marching.

Captain Hayami arrived at the mouth of the valley and, with some hesitation, ordered the tank to stop. He knew that by passing through here, he would be able to smash directly into the enemy's rear, but this short road did not seem so easy to walk, and almost all marching taboos were committed. The two mountains are sandwiched all the way, and it is particularly narrow. If he detours, he may not have time, he is still worried about the * that he saw in the air just now, and thinks to himself, if you don't let the infantry get out of the car and reconnoiter first.

At this moment, Ekusa Daisa eagerly asked them about their location through the radio, urging them to attack quickly, and he was almost unable to resist it. Hayami didn't have time to reconnoitre, he observed with a telescope for an extra 30 seconds, and made up his mind to pass here, he turned around and waved the signal flag, telling the tanks behind him to keep a distance, while the infantry got out of the car and followed, paying attention.

Zhao Xiaoli adjusted the telescope and looked at the signals of the Japanese, he could read the flag, and knew that the Japanese were stupid and had to pass.

It was not difficult for him to guess that the first person to wave the letter flag on the car was the enemy commander, at least a squad leader. He hoped to rely on his reinforced company of more than 200 men to solve the problem, and he would have a bright face without using the tank company of the division headquarters.

The enemy tank slowly drove in, slowly moving forward at two speeds, and the infantry jumped off the tank to keep watch on both sides. The heat was unbearable, and the Japanese soldiers opened their clothes one after another and walked slowly. The tank roared and gradually entered the ambush circle.

Zhao Xiaoli was going to destroy the first tank first to block the passage, so that he could pinch the head and tail and annihilate the whole dumpling, once the enemy rushed over, at the end of the valley was a row of half-track vehicles as the last line of defense, those vehicles had heavy machine guns that could block the infantry, but could not stop the tanks.

Seeing the moment when he saw the real chapter, he began to mumble in his heart again. His men had just hit the target twice with a bazooka a day before, but the target was made of wood, and he didn't know if the strange ammunition fired by this thing could penetrate the tank. Especially when this batch of weapons arrived, the master didn't have time to pray for the consecration, which also made him very worried.

Seeing the tank passing in front of his eyes with black smoke, he thought to himself, where in the world is there such a cheap thing? How much effort does it take someone else to build a tank, and you can break it with an iron pipe?

Hayami, who had a white towel tied around his neck, kept his head leaking outside, one to increase his vision, and the other to make it too hot inside. Now he still has to wear gloves, or his hands won't be able to touch the hot turret. It was not easy for the tank to survive here, and two were broken on the road.

Hayami suddenly saw the grass moving not far away, and there seemed to be a human face in the grass. Suddenly, a cluster of flames flew towards him. Directly hit the side armor of the turret, and the explosion lifted the commander out of the turret, while blowing the lead party standing in front of it into the air. The jet drilled through the weak armor and slammed into the small space, igniting the ammunition.

Zhao Xiaoli saw the flames coming out of all the exits of the tank and knew that he could penetrate them. At the same time, the rest of the formations fired at the enemy tanks together, and dozens of * threw them together. Explosions reverberated in the valley. At the same time, the grass on the mountain was also ignited by the tail flame, and it was immediately burned into a piece.

There are no formal teaching materials for this weapon, and the US military instructors can't tell what kind of slope it can be used, so the Chinese soldiers naturally don't think about it, but they didn't expect to get it cheaply, and the side effects are not small. Fortunately, there are not many enemy infantry, and they are almost wiped out by a burst of * and machine guns, and they can't take advantage of the opportunity of ambush fire to burn their butts and mess up, and the lack of top machine guns in enemy tanks is also a major flaw, so that they can only be beaten.

The troops defending the entrance, hearing that the front was starting first, hurried to block the exit. Seeing several tanks coming out in reverse, the soldiers condescended and fired at the enemy engine with a bazooka. Under the blow, flames came out of it, and the Japanese tankmen were ignited as they emerged from the exits. This diesel-powered tank is notoriously non-combustible, but unlike kinetic energy*, the bazooka has a flame characteristic that can easily ignite the tank's various oils and ammunition.

The infantry could not wait for all the tanks to be destroyed, so they rushed into the valley and settled the final battle. For a time, the two sides used the burning tank wreckage as a cover to launch a close-range firefight, and the Chinese army's automatic firepower superiority immediately overwhelmed the opponent, and soon suppressed the last remnants of the enemy into the ditch and solved it with *.

At the same time, the infantry began to roll out the remnants of the enemy's tanks. Instead of being stupid enough to rush to the front and try to throw a * through the window, take advantage of the smoke and terrain to quickly get out of reach of enemy tank machine guns and crack open the turtle shell with a single shot.
