Chapter 1169 - 1170 hits
Bullets can pierce through human flesh, shatter enemy bones, and can even penetrate hard walls and shatter bright glass windows. However, sometimes bullets have things that they can't handle, for example, the Japanese army's current bullets can only leave a dazzling spark on the front armor plate of the German tank, and the paint on it is densely wounded.
Even with the precious armor-piercing shells rationed to the front-line troops, the Japanese soldiers found that their weapons could not penetrate the armor of the German tanks. The German tanks did not stop advancing from the moment they appeared, except, of course, that they needed to stop and fire. The wide tracks rolled up the black dirt and looked so indestructible.
Germany's Leopard tanks are thicker than their American M4 Sherman tanks, and the two are even more incomparable in firepower -- you must know that even in the North African battlefield, the M4 Sherman tanks in the hands of the American army can only barely compete with the Leopard tanks in the hands of Rommel. Both are slightly superior to the Leopard tank in terms of performance indicators and logistical reliability.
So the Japanese army's frantic shooting at this moment brought them only infinite despair. The bullet hit the opponent's armor as if it had hit a solid steel plate, and bounced off like a bean. This despair spread infinitely on the Japanese positions and shrouded the hearts of every Japanese soldier.
Of course, the gods of this world are very fair, so when some people are desperate, they always give hope to others - behind the German Leopard tanks are Soviet T-26 tanks and armored vehicles, and behind them, there are dense Soviet soldiers, who are surprised to find that the German armored forces, which are infinitely terrifying as the enemy, are so reliable as their own friendly forces.
Originally, because of road transport problems and some other related procedures, the German army invested not many troops in the first ground operation in the Far East: there was only one armored company of 10 Leopard tanks, and these tanks also reserved a platoon of 5 tanks to be delayed as a covering force and did not enter the battle.
So what the Japanese army saw in front of them was really only an armored platoon of the German army and 5 tanks. However, the pressure on the Japanese army from these 5 tanks exceeded even an entire battalion of T-26 tanks in the Soviet Union. Because the Japanese army found that no matter what method they used, they could not even threaten these steel monsters that they had never seen before.
"Sergeant Mirno! The Japanese are firing at us! Their bullets hit our front armor, do you hear that hell crackling sound?" shouted the German driver, who was in the cockpit of the Leopard tank, over the radio to the commander behind him.
Sergeant Mirno was also very busy at this time, and he was coordinating several tanks to form a standard wedge attack formation, keeping him moving at a constant pace. This was the first time he had seen such a situation, after all, on the Soviet-German battlefield, the Soviets had not used light weapons to strafe German tanks in such vain for a long time.
The bullets that rained down on the tank hull were not loud inside the tank, and the German tank crew members inside the car were used to putting themselves in a rain of bullets, after all, they had a steel coffin, didn't they?
The mechanic who was manipulating the machine gun in front of the hull calmly changed the drum for his machine gun, and then pointed the course machine gun at the Japanese position in the distance with the periscope, the distance between the two sides was constantly narrowing, and he could already see the steel helmet on the head of the Japanese lying in the trench, as well as the muzzle of the gun that kept firing.
"Be careful! Flank ready, ready to take out the Japanese anti-tank guns as soon as possible!" Sergeant Mirno reminded his comrades on the radio that the Soviet T-26 tanks on their flanks had begun to accelerate their charge, after all, it was a great thing for the Soviet soldiers in the Far East to be able to lose nothing at such a close distance.
"For General Chuikov! For victory!" a Soviet officer brandished his pistol and shouted encouragement to his subordinates. Under the cover of German tanks, the Soviet infantry finally began to run forward, probably for the first time since they arrived here, they felt such an easy offensive mission.
"Ula!" With the shout of shaking the ground and shaking the mountains, the Soviet tanks began to rush into the Japanese positions quickly, and the infantry began to rush forward from between the gaps in the tanks, and the dense bullets on the Japanese positions began to play their role, and the crowds of Soviet soldiers began to fall, and the battle became bloody in an instant.
In the bumpy tank, the German tank crew members were instantly frightened by the scene in front of them, they did not understand why these Soviet soldiers did not squat behind their tanks well, but used their own flesh and blood in such vain to challenge the marksmanship of the Japanese infantry on the opposite side.
Mirno pressed his intercom and loudly began to question the Soviet radio station in charge of communication: "I'm Leopard No. 1, I'm Leopard No. 1! Ivan! Let your men stop attacking! Follow my tank and cover me! Bastard! Let them lie down quickly...... Hell, who's going to answer me?"
As he spoke, some Soviet tanks had already rushed into the Japanese positions, and the Japanese troops were holding explosives packs or anti-tank mines and other weapons, and these Soviet tanks died together, and the positions were full of burning smoke.
"I'm Ivan! Leopard 1! I hear your call...... Is there any difficulty?Sergeant Mirno?" In the cabin of the German Leopard tank, the voice of the Soviet liaison officer came from Sergeant Milno's headphones. However, now the battlefield was in chaos, and the German tanks could only stop a short distance and use machine guns and grenades to support the nearby Soviet forces.
"Your men are responsible for covering us to tear apart the Japanese positions, they are not behind us to cover our attack, they launched their own charge, what is the matter?" Mirno replied helplessly, pressing the throat intercom, it was too late for him to say anything, because the battle had become the way it was, and no matter how much he was pursued, it would be useless.
On the radio side, the other party was silent for a while, and finally replied: "We have no combat experience in this area, and neither the T-26 tank nor the M4 tank can guarantee that they will not be destroyed by the Japanese at such a distance, and they dare not directly rush into the Japanese position...... So we are used to charging at this distance. ”
Although it is a fact, there is a bitter taste in the tone, even the most brave warriors, without good weapons to cooperate, can only be consumed in battle after battle. And those warriors who have the most powerful weapons can survive battle after battle, and transform into the most powerful soldiers in the training. This is the gap between the German and Soviet armies, which may seem small but is an insurmountable chasm.
"Now, we are not enemies! Stand behind us, let us cover you to the closest distance to the enemy, and then attack!" Mirno was stunned for a moment, then pressed the intercom and said: "Stand with us, the Führer will lead us to victory!"
......
On the Japanese position, a Japanese commander with a face covered in soot staggered against the trench and pleaded with a grenadier squad beside him: "Do you see those tanks that are not moving? Shoot! Kill them! Kill them!"
It has to be said that the Japanese army has very few excellent weapons in terms of light weapons, their heavy machine guns are a mess compared to similar weapons, and their rifle performance can only be regarded as average, submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles are almost blank, and pistols give a poor evaluation at best - really don't doubt it, this is the case.
However, this is not to say that the Japanese army really has nothing to boast about: the grenadier can be said to be one of the few good things in the hands of the Japanese army. This kind of thing can be regarded as a cannon in the hands of infantry, easy to carry and accurate in the hands of veterans, and can provide important fire support for front-line troops.
The only downside is that it's a bit too dependent on training and experience, otherwise the accuracy of shooting is really low. Of course, this cannot be said to be the world's leading weapon system, and the main reason why other countries do not focus on the development of this weapon is that artillery is used to share the tasks of the Japanese grenadier troops.
"Hey!" a Japanese soldier measured the location of the German tank parking over there, and quickly pointed the muzzles of several grenadiers in the direction of the German tank, they were the only fire support unit of the Japanese army nearby, and now the trench was in chaos, and he couldn't open fire for fear of accidentally injuring friendly soldiers, so he focused his attention on those steel monsters.
"The position is about 600 meters! Aim! Range-shooting! Fire!" These Japanese soldiers were well-trained veterans, and after a short period of preparation, they immediately fired the first shell at the German tank, because the distance was not too far, and soon they saw their shells land next to a German tank - the distance was so close that people could not help but cheer.
"Hahaha! I hit! I hit! Hooray!" The Japanese soldier who opened fire raised his hands and cheered excitedly for the fact that his first shell would land less than five paces next to the German tank.
