The moment the demons appeared in the smoke, the devils on the front line suddenly lost their minds.

After all, this kind of iron lump, which has both firepower, mobility, and protection, is the land combat weapon with the highest status in the rivers and lakes at this stage. In the face of their cluster breakthroughs, ordinary infantry had no choice but to fill with their lives.

"Tank !!"

"Push up rapid-fire guns and mountain and field guns! The Eighth Route Army must not be allowed to break through our first line of defense! ”

With Goro Mano's order, the devils immediately began to act. From the anti-artillery holes in their positions, they launched their respective 94-type 37-mm anti-aircraft guns and 75-mm barrel guns.

As a model of law and order for the Japanese army in North China, the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade had 10 anti-aircraft guns, 12 field guns and 20 mountain guns before the war.

Such a firepower configuration is definitely a supermodel-like existence for a force of only 5,000 people.

But since the Battle of Datong, the continuous combat missions have caused heavy losses to the devils. Under the special care of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, all types of heavy weapons were even more lost.

At this moment, there were only thirteen artillery pieces left that the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade could with.

"The target is already in effective range! Shoot fast! ”

Under the repeated urging of the squad leader, the No. 3 gunner rotated the rocker wheel and direction machine of the high and low machine according to the parameters, and adjusted the pitch angle and horizontal direction of the barrel at the fastest speed.

The shooter unfastened the bolt of the gun tail and sight, and aimed at the cicada tank 1,200 meters away.

Rumble!

After pulling the firing rope, a 37-mm armor-piercing grenade flew straight ahead.

As luck turned out, the rapid-fire artillery squad hit the front of the cicada tank with accurate accuracy with their first shell.

Seeing this scene, the second lieutenant commanding the artillery team waved his fist excitedly. As for the other ten devils, they couldn't help but cheer.

"Yo Xi! Well done! ”

"Keep loading! Fight to knock out a few more enemy tanks before you engage them! ”

But the good times didn't last long, and the smiles of the devils soon disappeared without a trace.

Because the tank that had just been hit only slowed down slightly and continued to rush towards the forward position.

Through the artillery viewing scope, the squad leader even saw bullet marks, although the frontal armor of the people had a certain depression, but it was far from the level of penetration.

At this time, the expressions of the eleven little days were extremely bright, as if they had witnessed the rescue of Katerina's seaplane.

It's a pity that this famous scene has not been seen by more people.

"Yaga! We failed to penetrate the target! ”

"Type 94 is really an outdated weapon, and it doesn't even have any effect!"

"All of them, move to Reserve Position No. 2! We went to hit the sides and tracks with relatively poor protection. ”

In fact, it didn't penetrate this matter, and it was really not a problem with the performance of the Type 94 37mm rapid-fire gun.

In the test of the Ugly Army, this thing has a record of penetrating 43 mm of Candid armor at 500 meters, and has a penetration depth of 30 mm even at a distance of 1,000 meters.

The frontal armor of the Cicada tank is only 25 mm, and it stands to reason that it should be able to fight casually.

It's a pity that since its establishment in 1938, the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade has no experience in fighting armored forces at all. The 37 guns in their hands spent most of their time firing grenades to bully the original Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.

If the devils can keep calm and put the cicada tank at a distance of about 500 meters, then they don't need to go around the side at all.

However, there are so many ifs on the battlefield, this is a cruel war to the death, not to mention that opportunities will always be reserved for those who are prepared.

······

2nd Company of the 3rd Tank Battalion, 17th car.

Boom!

When the Type 94 37-mm armor-piercing grenade hit the frontal armor of the cicada, the crew members only felt that the entire tank had a lot of shock.

At the same time, there was a buzzing sound in the ears of the warriors.

"What's going on! Have we been shot? Report your situation as a whole! ”

Although they had undergone sufficient training before the war, this battle was the first time that the comrades had launched an attack on the enemy in a tank, and nervousness was inevitable.

After all, the reality is not a certain 7+ coloring game, and there is no situation where the same width is reorganized without losing experience. The magic of shooting a tank is only spread in the world of Steel 4.

Of course, it is impossible for three members of a crew to go down at the same time.

Unlike the driver's panic, the commander saw the situation clearly with the advantage of good visibility.

"Straight ahead, there are devil anti-tank guns firing at us."

"We were hit, but the enemy's shells did not penetrate the armor of the tank."

"Parking! On the high explosive bomb! Kill them, you can't let that cannon get a second shot! ”

Everyone has been in a car group for several months, and a certain degree of tacit understanding has long been cultivated. When the main backbone commander spoke, the driver and gunner regained the feeling of training in the past.

With the cooperation of the two, the cicada tank came to a steady stop.

At the same time, the turret began to rotate, aiming at the Devil Artillery, which was moving in the distance.

The weight of the Type 94 37mm velocity gun is not light, and the miscellaneous parts add up to a small 400 catties, not to mention a base number of shells.

In addition, the surrounding positions have already been plowed by the artillery of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the speed of the eleven devils cannot compare to the rotation speed of the turret.

Rumble!

With a dull firing sound, a high-explosive shell flew towards the enemy's location.

After the smoke cleared, the expected tragedy did not appear, and the devil's rapid-fire cannon team was still running for their lives in the trenches.

Just as car No. 17 was about to fire again, the sound of tank guns was also heard near them.

In an instant, eleven devils were set on fire by five cicadas. The 37 guns were all set off high, and the eleven devils couldn't even make up a complete corpse.

That's the benefit of having real-time communication, and we do have some problems with our technology and combat experience. But if one shot misses, then ten more shots, and there will always be a round of attacks that can kill you.

"Keep going!"

After thanking his comrades, car No. 17 continued to drive towards the forward position of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade under the machine gun fire of the devils.

When the first Cicada crossed the enemy's trenches, the infantry in the rear also joined the attacking queue, advancing steadily in squads.

"Don't get too close, and don't fall behind!"

"Pay attention to the control of distance, use tanks to dodge the devil's machine guns, and don't let the devil's infantry get close to the dead end of the tank!" (End of chapter)
