Chapter 61: Armored Forces

Fortunately, the damage to the No. 8 aircraft this time was not very serious, otherwise it might not be able to fly back.

In this operation, although one of the Fury fighters was damaged, fortunately it flew back, so the operation was very successful, and the good news was reported.

At the same time, Li Yunlong's ground combat operations on their side also began later.

Today, Li Yunlong's new regiment, first of all, is the tank destroyer to take the lead, behind a tank destroyer, followed by dozens of soldiers, step and tan combined This is the tactic that Duan Yunpeng taught Li Yunlong.

Now we are waiting for the cooperation of the air, because after the battle starts, the air force will carry out air support, destroy the solid fire points and tanks of the devils, etc.

Create more conditions for the ground offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the number of tank destroyers in Li Yunlong's hands is not large, and there are only twelve in total now, they are still very good as a pioneer.

The artillery in the rear began to roar, and the attack officially began.

On the position of the devils, the shells fell, exploded the flowers, and the little devils were constantly sent to the sky.

Of course, the devil's artillery fire also began to counterattack, and the first thing on both sides was a round of artillery battles.

Now Li Yunlong has artillery in his hand, but it is not false at all, dozens of field guns are bombarding the devil's position, and at the same time, the tank destroyers in front have also begun to fire, 57 mm anti-tank guns, of course, can also fire howitzers.

I saw that the shells fell into the position of the devils, and the sand was all over the sky, mixed with the corpses of some devils.

Da-da-da-da!

At this time, the machine guns on both sides also roared, but those machine gun shells, hitting the armor of the tank destroyer, basically did no damage, and they were all bounced off, at most leaving some dents.

The fighters who followed the tank destroyer quickly hid behind the tank destroyer, knowing that the devil's firepower was also very fierce now, and if they were not careful, they might be shot in the head.

The devil's tank also came out, followed by some infantry.

Soon, however, the devils heard a whining sound, unlike the machine guns they had heard.

That's right, this is the sound of the Gatling gun, the Gatling gun on the tank destroyer fired.

This machine gun has a rate of fire of more than 2,000 rounds per minute, although it is also 7.7 millimeters, but because the rate of fire is far higher than that of ordinary machine guns, as long as it is hit, it will definitely be hit by more than one bullet, and it will basically be beaten into a sieve.

Most of the devil's infantry were still stupid, and only a few shrewd veterans were so frightened that they hurriedly hid behind the tanks.

Sure enough, quite a few devil infantry were hit and fell in a pool of blood.

The armored forces of the two sides are facing each other this time.

And the distance is very close, everyone is aiming at each other, ready to fire, to destroy the opponent.

Most of these devils are new Type 98 light tanks, with a total combat weight of 7.2 tons, a 37-millimeter tank gun, a maximum range of 1,200 meters against tank armored vehicles, and a grenade of 3,000 meters, but its power is a little small, and the penetration depth of 500 meters is only 18 millimeters, and it is only 3 millimeters when it reaches 1,000 meters.

Basically, it can be said that it poses no threat to tank destroyers, because the frontal armor of tank destroyers, with a thickness of 20 mm, is not a problem at all as long as it is not hit within 500 meters.

The tank destroyers of the new regiment are equipped with 57-millimeter anti-tank guns, which are much more powerful, with a maximum effective firing range of 2,000 meters against tanks, and a penetration depth of 50 millimeters at this distance, and a penetration depth of more than 80 millimeters at a distance of 1,000 meters.

And the Type 98 light tank of the little devil has a frontal armor that is 18 mm thick, so even at a distance of 2,000 meters, the tank destroyer can easily penetrate it.

Now an armored battle has begun, and the armored corps of both sides are shooting at each other.

Saburo Honda, a gunner of a devil, excitedly aimed at a tank destroyer, and he thought to himself that this kind of armored car was also built on this dirt road, and it was not stupid to use wheels instead of tracks?

Honda excitedly pressed the launch button, and with a bang, the shell flew out, and at a distance of a thousand meters, it was very accurate, and the armored car was shot, and the shell hit the front of the turret.

But Honda was dumbfounded then, because he saw this strange armored car, nothing happened, its turret could still turn, and the muzzle was already aimed at their tank.

What's going on? Why didn't it blow it up?

Honda can't figure it out, the devils in this tank can't figure it out, is it possible that the armored vehicles of the Eighth Road are stronger than their tanks?

Seeing that the opponent's gun muzzle was aimed at them, the devil was also a little panicked, and the commander hurriedly drove the tank and wanted to run.

But the tank destroyers on the opposite side did not give them this opportunity, boom!

A 57-millimeter shell directly hit the turret of this Type 98 tank, which was also too powerful, and I saw that the turret was directly lifted off, and it also caused the ammunition in the car to explode.

Several devils screamed, their whole bodies were on fire, and they flew into the air.

In front of tank destroyers, the light tanks of these devils are indeed vulnerable.

As soon as the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army saw that the devil's tank was so unbeaten, this chicken blood hit it in an instant, rush!

The devil's light tank is constantly being blown up, on the other hand, the tank destroyer of the Eighth Route Army has no loss, only three vehicles have been damaged by the devil's mine, and they can't walk, and they need the maintenance troops behind to replace them with new tires.

In front of it is the main position of the devils, only to see several bunkers, spewing out tongues of fire, this is a strong bunker built by the devils, it is very difficult to deal with.

Several of the warriors were hit by bullets from these bunkers and fell in pools of blood.

Li Yunlong was on a high ground, holding a telescope, inspecting the situation on the battlefield, and when he saw dozens of soldiers being talked about, he couldn't help but burst into foul language again.

"NND, this little devil of dog R, just rely on this bunker, consume with us, see if Lao Tzu doesn't blow them up!"

Zhao Gang frowned and said: "Lao Li, I think these bunkers are not very easy to fight, our tank destroyers, 100 mm mortars, are difficult to achieve, the terrain they built is very unusual, the shells are not easy to hit directly, I think only air firepower, maybe they can be destroyed." ”

It is true that at this time, the tank destroyer in front has fired a few shots, but it seems to have no effect on those bunkers.

Those machine gun fire, which only stopped for more than ten seconds, began to output frantically again.

Apparently the 57-millimeter shells fired by the tank guns could not hit these bunkers.

Looks like we need the Air Force.
