483, the nightmare of the Tiger tank
Actually, there were two Britons who took the lead.
One is called William. One is called Harry. The former is from London, England. The latter is from Liverpool.
Everyone could see that the two did not deal with each other very well. There are contradictions between them.
Harry was transferred from the East India Company. Ready to succeed William. He was very unhappy with this decision.
To put it bluntly, Harry doesn't want to replace William.
Harry was supposed to stay in Calcutta, India, and he couldn't be comfortable. As a result, he was forcibly sent to China by his superiors to succeed William. Not only was it a demotion, but the situation was extremely dangerous.
Now, the Japanese have long controlled most of China. The Kailuan Coal Mine is also eyeing the Tiger's eye.
The war of the Japanese requires a lot of resources to support. The Kailuan Coal Mine is the largest coal mine in northern China and even in the whole country. How can the Japanese not be impressed?
Because there has not yet been an official war with the British. Therefore, the current means adopted by the Japanese are under the pretext of purging the anti-Japanese elements. Arrange gendarmes in the mines, suppress the British. And forcibly buy shares.
In the name of the South Manchurian Railway Company, the Japanese forcibly bought a 25 percent stake in the Kailuan Coal Mine. The British were unwilling, but they couldn't help it.
At present, there are only two or three hundred people in the British Kailuan Coal Mine. Among them, most of the mine protection team are Chinese. There are very few British. The weapons were also only a few British seven-seven rifles. There are quite a few of them. However, it is certainly not as many guns as the Japanese have more guns. If force is used, it cannot be an opponent of the Japanese.
Those ferocious Japanese people have green light in their eyes!
They stared at the British, as if they were just pieces of big fat. They can be cleaned at any time.
"Right now, the road is impassable."
"There are Japanese people all around."
"You are free to leave if you wish. We're not going to stand in the way. ”
"If you guys need us to escort. You will need to wait for a while. Wait until we defeat the Japanese. ”
Zhang Chu said methodically.
William and Harry looked at each other.
Of course, they want to go on their own. The sooner you go, the better.
Especially William. I can't wait to put on my wings and fly to Tianjin. As long as you arrive in Tianjin, you can get on the ship. Then get out of this damn place.
However......
It's full of Japanese people!
They are also now not sure whether the Japanese will let them pass.
Those damn Japanese, all of them have green eyes, like goblins in fantasy stories. Wrong. Not like. The Japanese are simply goblins.
As cunning, ferocious, ruthless, and ** as a goblin.
During this time in North China, they had fully purposed the cruelty of the Japanese to the Chinese.
If they also become the targets of cruel abuse by the Japanese, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Shudder.
"Mr. Eighth Route Army, when will you be able to defeat the Japanese?"
Suddenly, someone asked.
But it was a young female journalist. Also holding a camera.
Looks like some ability!
The Japanese didn't confiscate her camera.
Presumably the film must have been confiscated. It was impossible for the Japanese to let her pass on the real situation.
"Are you talking about the battle in front of you, or between countries?"
"The battle in front of you."
"Ten days or so!"
Zhang Chu set the time more relaxed.
In ten days, we will definitely be able to conquer Lulong County.
With Chief of Staff Song's ability, in ten days, he will definitely be able to mobilize a considerable number of personnel.
As long as there are people, it's easy to do.
"Do you think the Chinese can defeat the Japanese?"
The female reporter continued to ask.
But there is clearly a bit of perfunctory. Apparently there is no need for an answer.
In China's current situation, it is impossible to defeat the Japanese. In front of the Chinese, the Japanese are still too strong.
In particular, the Japanese navy almost surpassed that of the British.
The battleships of the Japanese, both in terms of displacement, and the caliber of the main guns, were already not at all different from the British. There are even victories.
In the Pacific, except for the Japanese warships, that is, the Americans.
The Far Eastern Fleet of the British, frankly, was more often a decoration.
The Japanese had so many battleships. And the British in the Far East, in Singapore, at most, had only three battleships.
Since the war with Germany, especially after the defeat of France, all the battleships of the British Far East Fleet have been transferred back to the mainland. Now in the Far East, the British Far East Fleet, there is only one cruiser left to save face. How could a mere cruiser be an opponent of so many battleships of the Japanese?
"Of course you can!"
"And how long do you predict it will take?"
"Five years!"
"Five years?"
"Yes!"
"You're talking about five years?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Chu replied affirmatively.
No one knows better than I do about the course of the war.
Five years from now, the Japanese will definitely surrender. And it is unconditional surrender.
But don't rejoice too soon.
Until then, you Britons will not be able to stay out of the matter.
Your battleship HMS Prince of Wales, and the British troops stationed in Singapore, will all be tragic.
Of course, he won't say it now.
No one believes it anyway.
"Why did you defeat the Japanese?"
"We have 40,000."
"However, most of your common people have fallen under Japanese rule."
"So, we're going to mobilize them and then resist."
"However, your weapons and equipment are very poor......"
"That's true......"
Zhang Chu nodded. Then a group of soldiers was seen walking by.
This is a mixed infantry company. Dissatisfied with the editor. There were only about seventy people. But all kinds of weapons and equipment are very complete.
There are mortars. There are heavy machine guns. There are light machine guns. And bazookas.
Of course. That's not the point.
Crucially, everyone has all kinds of ammunition hanging on their bodies.
"It's ......"
The British couldn't help but be a little stunned.
They have been in North China for so many years, and they are no strangers to fighting.
In fact, many of the Britons present were retired from the army. They also pay attention to armament.
Isn't it said that the weapons and equipment of the Dirt Eight Road are very poor?
How......
Doesn't seem right?
This group of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army is very well equipped. Ammunition is also very plentiful.
Everyone was full of ammunition. Where is the lack of ammunition?
"Oh......"
"They are exceptional."
"The equipment of our Eighth Route Army is really poor......"
Zhang Chu hurriedly covered up and said.
Secretly complaining about these guys, can't you go farther away? I just had to pass by the British.
Well, now the British are starting to doubt life.
"I'm sorry, we ......"
The female reporter said.
The sound suddenly stopped slowly.
But another company passed by. The same is armed to the teeth.
Each person has at least two weapons.
Semi-automatic rifles are standard. He was carrying not only bullets, but also rockets.
The consumption of rockets is really large. Therefore, those who can carry it should be carried quickly. to meet the attrition of the battlefield. Each person carried three rockets. Ten people are thirty.
"What kind of weapon is that?"
"Oh, this is an earthen weapon of our own making, a very weak ......"
"Boom ......"
Before the words fell, there was a loud bang next to him.
However, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army aimed at the Japanese fire point in the distance with a bazooka, and a rocket flew past.
Rumble!
The Japanese firepower point was blown away.
The Japanese criminals in the firepower point were all blown up into the sky.
"Whew!"
"Boom ......"
Another loud bang.
Another Japanese gun's firepower was blown away.
It turned out that the previous Eighth Route Army Wing was specially used to knock on the firepower of the Japanese invaders.
Don't ask for a lot of kills.
Just bits and pieces.
Specialized in using bazookas to eliminate the firing points of the Japanese invaders.
At the same time, it is also to train more bazooka shooters.
New weapons, after all. You need to constantly improve yourself in actual combat. It just so happened that the Japanese had a lot of firepower. So one by one, they were slowly knocked out.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
In the distance, explosions were also heard.
It's all the sound of a bazooka exploding. With every explosion, a Japanese firepower point was blown up.
With the explosion of the bazooka, more or less, there are always a few Japanese who are killed.
Although once or twice, it doesn't seem to be much. However, the number of casualties among the Japanese invaders was still considerable.
In the entire battlefield of Lulong County, there were more than 200 bazookas that were thrown into battle by the Eighth Route Army, even if there were not 300.
It's all a piecemeal weapon. The nightmare of the Japanese invaders.
"Ah......h
"Ah......h
Several Britons exclaimed.
They all have battlefield experience. Immediately realized, this weapon is very useful!
The point of fire used against the enemy is simply perfect.
No artillery support. There is also no need to use explosive packs.
It's a distance of 300 meters, like a gun. Aim. Launch. Then you will be able to destroy enemy fire points.
"What kind of weapon is that?"
"Oh. That thing is a tank. ”
"What?"
The British suddenly looked forward to it even more.
Hit the tank?
Can this thing still hit tanks?
"Actually, it's not very powerful. It can penetrate up to three hundred millimeters of armor ......"
"What? Three hundred millimeters? ”
The British were immediately excited.
This is really a sharp weapon against the lightning assault of German tanks!
What was the weapon that the Germans were best at?
It's the rapid advance of the tank!
That's how Blitzkrieg came about. It depends on the high speed of the tank.
The British did not have too good anti-tank weapons.
The anti-tank gun was too powerful.
The anti-tank gun was too bulky again.
If there is a powerful and light anti-tank weapon, wouldn't it......
Zhang Chu wanted to speak and stopped.
I seem to have leaked something terrible?
Anti-tank bazookas, a nightmare for German tanks! Even the Tiger tanks of the Germans could not stop the attack of the bazookas.
Whether it is the Tiger or the Tiger King, the frontal armor is relatively thick. The armor on the sides and rear was relatively weak. Such 40 bazookas. It's completely possible to get into the soul with one shot.
If it is equipped in large quantities, it is simply a nightmare for German tanks.
Tanks No. 3 and No. 4 or something, in front of the bazooka, are completely slaughtered.
But......
Such a good weapon, will it be given to the British?
Unless they're willing to pay a premium for it......
