The armor of the small Japanese Type 97 tank is too thin, the frontal armor is only 25 mm, and the side armor is only 20 mm, so such a thin armored battle defense gun can easily penetrate it, let alone 75 mm armor-piercing high-explosive shells.

After so many years of foreign wars, Japan's strategic resources have been in a high degree of imbalance between supply and demand, and most of the limited resources in their hands tend to be the navy, building aircraft carriers, building super battleships, and the strategic resources allocated to the army are really limited, so the Japanese devil's tank manufacturing has also cut corners, for example, the 97 type tank that ravaged China and Southeast Asia, if this tank is compared with the same type of tanks in the world, it will not rank at all, and its 15-ton weight can barely be called a medium tank.

The Type 97 tank itself is designed for China, that is, to bully the Chinese army to be poor and white, and there are no decent weapons to deal with their tanks, so they dare to design so unscrupulously.

As a result, now they have an opponent, and the PLA's X-1 main battle tank comprehensively crushes the Type 97 tank in terms of performance.

The X-1 main battle tank has a total combat weight of 33 tons, a crew of five, equipped with a 75 mm main gun, 80 rounds of ammunition, 30 rounds of piercing J shells, 50 rounds of grenades, a 7.62 rapid-fire machine gun, a 7.62 side rear machine gun, 4500 rounds of ammunition, engine power 700 horsepower, maximum speed of 45 km / h, front armor thickness 80mm, side and rear armor thickness 38mm, front armor side armor are designed for an inclined angle, and can cause slip shells when subjected to frontal shelling.

The Type 97 medium tank has a total combat weight of 15 tons, a crew of four, and is equipped with a 57 mm short-bore gun, with insufficient shooting accuracy and muzzle velocity, equipped with two Type 97 7.7 mm machine guns, with a machine gun ammunition base of 4,000 rounds, a front armor thickness of 25 mm, a side and rear armor thickness of 20 mm, and an riveted structure of armor, which can be easily broken off with the XBQ-1 rapid-fire machine gun, and has extremely poor elastic resistance.

Ge Dazhuang hit with one shot, and the morale of the tank division was ignited in one fell swoop.

Ge Dazhuang quickly grabbed the radio and gave an order: "Tankmen of all regiments, rush up to Lao Tzu, attack the devil tank troops head-on, machine gunners prepare Lao Tzu, as long as they see someone alive, they will beat Lao Tzu and raise him as a bitch." ”

The little devil used to bully the Chinese army and did not have weapons against tanks, but now it is reversed, Ge Dazhuang is bullying the devil's tank gun can't break through the defense of his frontal armor, and he carries it hard with the devil.

Now that 15 X-1 main battle tanks have appeared in the field of vision, they quickly rushed down the road and set up a triangular offensive formation on the flank of the devils.

Just after the hand-to-hand encounter, neither side was clear about the size of the other party's troops, Kitahara thought that he was facing only these 15 huge X-1 tanks, and Ge Dazhuang also thought that he was only facing the two dozen Type 97 tanks he saw now, and both sides wanted to eat each other in one bite.

In the wilderness outside the Xingtang Temple, the cannon roared for a while, and the monks in the temple were alarmed, and they ran out of the temple gate in a swarm, watching the tank battle unfolding in the wilderness in front of them in amazement.

The Xingtang Temple is on a higher ground, and from the monks' field of vision, you can see that countless tanks and armored vehicles are coming to the direction of the battlefield in the east and north, and dozens of tanks on the battlefield in front of them have been mixed together, and the sound of artillery and machine guns is like fried beans.

The XBQ-1 rapid-fire machine gun on the melee X-1 main battle tank exerted great power, more efficient than the tank gun, and the six barrels fired bullets outward like water, and the riveted armor on the Type 97 tank could withstand such a fierce attack, and the rivets were broken off in an instant, and the armor fell down one by one.

The unarmored tank is a layer of iron-clad flesh, and the bullet penetrates the iron sheet and instantly beats the crew in the tank into a bloody blur, and the ammunition compartments of two tanks are simply dry blown up, completely dismembering the tank from the inside out.

The X-1 main battle tank's self-designed (copied) sights also played a huge role, so in close combat, the main gun was almost completely fired, and each shot fired was bound to destroy a tank.

In just a few dozen minutes, more than 20 Type 97 tanks on the battlefield had been beaten to the ground, either burning raging flames or billowing smoke.

The tank on which the commander of the 6th Tank Brigade of the Japanese Army was riding was hit by a high-explosive piercing J shell, and the tank was blown into slag by the detonated shells.

There were also a few X-1 tanks that were hit by Japanese tanks, but the armor of the inclined design played a huge role at this time, and the shells hit the tank directly and were directly changed by gliding and flying, and when they landed and exploded, they would not cause much damage to the tank at all, only one shell was detonated at the moment of contact with the armor, but the 80 mm thick armor stubbornly resisted the explosion, and the bomb fragments penetrated several sandbags hung outside the tank, and the sand was sprinkled all over the ground, and the tank crew was only shocked by the blast wave of the explosion, The Heavy made a hole in the handle of his gun with his forehead, and the blood was terrifying.

The tanks that came after him did not see the situation clearly and joined the battle group one after another, and the 17th Tank Wing, which received Kitahara Ce's deathbed order, climbed over the hill from the rear of Xingtang Temple, and the monks of Xingtang Temple watched in panic as the tanks rushed past and rushed down the hillside, so frightened that they forgot to escape.

Fortunately, the little devils on the tank did not have these dozen monks in their eyes first, and they had already seen dozens of tanks entangled on the battlefield in the process of charging, and it was obvious that their own tanks had suffered a big loss, and the smoking tanks on the battlefield were all their own Type 97 and Type 94 tanks.

The difference is too obvious, the Type 97 tank is a big circle smaller than the X-1 main battle tank, and the Azuki tank has become a kindergarten friend compared to the X-1 main battle tank.

But you have to fight.

It was the first time that the Japanese army had seen the X-1 main battle tank of the People's Liberation Army, and they did not know the technical performance of the X-1 main battle tank at all, but the battle situation in front of them was really ...... It's devastating.

More than two dozen tanks were destroyed, and the enemy, it seems, did not lose even a single one......
