The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

After four of the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army on the Great Wall defense line were destroyed by sudden mysterious weapons, most of the rumbling artillery sounds among the mountains and rivers of eight hundred miles suddenly disappeared.Except for those who are concealed in front and cannot be withdrawn and continue to fire, the means that can really deter elite troops from all sides in China have been greatly reduced.

The battle in the sky is not as fierce as imagined.The Kwantung Army Flying Regiment, which was forced to allocate half of its strength to pile up over the battlefields of Pinggu and Panshan, greatly reduced the strength left for other fronts.And the forces of all parties who are trying their best to shine, even if they only use the retired f-21m of the Zhujiajun Army Aviation Unit---the enhanced version of the second-hand product with a 1350 horsepower engine, and a few simplified versions of the f-24a Flying Shark The battle group formed by mixing and matching is still evenly matched with the Japanese army that is smaller than your own.

The poor local warlords are naturally reluctant to establish a complete air force combat system like Zhu Bin. Specialized bombers and large transport aircraft are not available to them. The available Zhongyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory has hundreds of more planes to buy and sell. At any rate, it will not starve to death---the number of self-made fighters purchased by the Zhongyang Air Force is only one-fifth of that purchased from outside, which is pitifully small.

As for why you don't use your own products, even if you have already received technical support and product authorization from the Navy's aircraft manufacturing department, you have to ask Chairman Jiang's brothers-in-law.

The warlords of all walks of life used all their strength to send most of the air combat units to the battlefield. Over [-] Chinese fighter planes of various types danced lightly all day long in the airspace of the [-]-mile Great Wall.Tired the Kwantung Army flying regiment in two places like a dead dog.

After the Xinglong direction was bombed, half of the advanced fighters were dispatched here to prevent the opponent's bombers and helicopters from pushing into the low altitude, even if it cost a little bit more. They stalemate, but the forces fighting on the ground are relatively safe. Quite a lot.

It was also in this situation that the Japanese tank troops hidden in the mountains finally braved the courage to show up.Facing the old enemy for several years, bravely rush forward!

The imperial army of the Japanese Empire also needs face!The shame of being beaten into a mess on the battlefield many times, today I have to take advantage of the terrain to regain it!

East of Pinggu.On a high ground near Huangsong Valley, the captain of the Ninth Tank Regiment of the Japanese Army, Takashima Yuer, came to the front line in person, risking being beheaded by a fighter plane from the sky.Bravely standing on the top of the mountain, his body, which is already considered tall among Ri himself, watched his armored chariot rolling out of the hideout in the valley with the binoculars in his hand. On the rough and rough cheeks, there was always a ferocious smile.

"Look, what a powerful tank unit! This is the best armored force of the Imperial Army! It is a concentrated display of the technological power of the Empire. It is a powerful weapon capable of sweeping all tanks in the world. Now, it is finally time to let it be released. It's an important moment as bright as the sun!"

Colonel Takashima couldn't help admiring, which attracted other deputies and officers around him to nod their heads in agreement.

"Yes! When I saw these chariots for the first time, I was so surprised that I forgot to breathe! I couldn't believe it. This is the power we can have! Just by looking at the appearance, you can feel it It is a great honor for me to be able to see it on the battlefield with my own eyes for its great power!"

"Hey, hey! It really is like this!"

There was endless praise, which made Takashima Yuji even more complacent.To know.I am one of the few troops in the entire army who can be the first to obtain this new type of medium tank equipment. Even on the entire Great Wall defense line, I am afraid that I am the only one who dares to pull these big guys out and teach me a lesson in arrogance. Chinese?

As a former fisherman who started as a chariot soldier, Yu Takashima imagined the magnificence of leading an army of steel to rampage the world more than once in his more than [-] years of military career.But the gap between dream and reality is too far. When he is really qualified to command dozens of chariots, what greets him is one shameful failure after another!

When he was ordered to lead the newly developed heavy tank to support Han Fuju, he was wiped out; With decent military exploits, I'm afraid I don't expect to be promoted to a general in this life.

This time, he would rather give up the great opportunity to go to the northern plateau to go to war with Soviet Russia, but also to clear his shame on the Great Wall battlefield!

Looking up at the gray sky, Colonel Takashima nodded involuntarily. Without the threat of fighter jets, the real army collision is about to begin, and the victory will definitely belong to the empire!

Slowly running black shadows emerged from the hillside, condescendingly looking down at the gently stretching westward fields, and the rare and thick muzzle lowered its posture arrogantly, pointing at the same kind coming from the distance.

Inside the command vehicle, Luo Zhendong received a faxed photo from the rear headquarters. He frowned and glanced at it, a sharp light suddenly appeared from the corner of his eyes, and whispered softly: "Unexpectedly, the Japanese army developed a new weapon so quickly. The tank! Well, this time, it looks good!"

In the photo, there are several tanks that are moving in, because they were taken from a distance, and there is a lack of clearer and more comprehensive images.But just judging from the pictures, this guy is completely different from the previous Japanese products.

The wide and square hull is well-proportioned and slender, with distinct water chestnut angles, and the flat turret supports a main gun with a very long barrel ratio. The overall structural layout seems to have a slightly balanced beauty in Japanese tanks.

According to the analysis and estimation data on the side of the photo, this is a brand new tank built by the Japanese army. The shape and size of the main gun are very similar to the Type 88 44-fold anti-aircraft gun that has been equipped for a long time; the whole vehicle uses a lot of welding technology and less The riveting technology looks more compact and smooth, stronger, and lighter at the same volume, so that more armor can be arranged.

Judging from its forward speed, the engine must have been improved, and it is not ruled out that it has the support of the Germans. The total tonnage will not be less than 30 tons.It may be more powerful than the German-built Panzer IV!Its lethality is comparable to that of the earliest "Cheetah-1" light tank!

After Luo Zhendong finished watching, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he snorted softly with disdain: "After fighting against us for so many years, if they didn't make any progress, it would be in vain for them to be students for thousands of years! Let's see who is the real land overlord!"

Passing the fax to the combat staff officer next to him, he calmly looked at the battlefield.The staff officer took a quick look and asked softly, "Commander, do you want the brothers to be careful? Don't suffer!"

Luo Zhendong waved his hand: "There is no need to make a fuss! Trust the big boss and our scientists! Fighting for technology, Ri himself is not qualified! Wait for the show! Tell the Army Aviation and Air Force not to meddle until we send out invitations! "

"Understood!" The staff officer knew that the master was being stubborn again, so he nodded and went back to pass on instructions.

At this time, the tanks of both sides had also advanced to a distance of less than five kilometers. In the open field without the cover of woods and mounds, each other could clearly see the true face of the opponent in front through the sighting system.

The Japanese army did not use self-propelled howitzers to bombard first, but tacitly moved the armor to the front line, and the provocative gesture was not even for the blind to see clearly.Tian Jianxiu, the leader of the heavy tank squadron, stared at the front with bright eyes, and said short and forcefully: "The main force of the Chinese tank is still the so-called 'cheetah!" Well, it seems that the main gun has been improved, and its armor-piercing ability Not small, I don't know if it can penetrate our 80mm front armor! "There was a burst of laughter in the tank, and everyone knew that he was telling a joke. The 80mm thick high-strength alloy welded armor, temporarily named Type 98, has no doubts about the strength of this tank! And the sharp 44-fold barrel The main gun can completely penetrate the German No. 4 tank, even the 80mm steel plate can penetrate. Who can stop such destructive power?! No matter how powerful the guy coming from the opposite side was, facing a brand new artwork is like The powerful chariot will be wiped out cleanly!

Seeing more than 20 tanks approaching the target in two sharp-angled formations, Tian Jianxiu shouted: "Steady! We must fire at the first time, and try to shoot those tanks at a distance of 2000 meters. Get the guy off!"

"Hi! Understood!"

The driver responded simply, drove the tank up a dirt slope, and then "creaked" to a stop. Seven pairs of road wheels and widened tracks carried a heavy vehicle body of up to 31 tons, crushed sand and rocks, and rotated slightly. Aiming down at the target, and slowly lowering the height as the opponent approached, Tian Jianxiuyi leaned half of his body from the top, holding the telescope in his hand and watching nervously.

"Two thousand eight hundred meters... Two thousand five... Two thousand two.... The Chinese chariot slows down, 800 meters! Drive...!"

Just when he was about to yell the word "cannon" out of his throat, he also expected to stop advancing, and then aimed at his opponent who fired again. Without warning, he was moving slowly and suddenly fired first!

Starting from three or four kilometers away, the main gun of the "Cheetah-3" tank has been pointing forward, always firmly locked in the direction of Tian Jianxiuichi, whether it is crossing the sheltered woods or rolling on the sandy slope. However, the slender gun barrel has remained quite stable from the beginning to the end. If the squadron leader observes carefully, he will find a very strange phenomenon-no matter how the tank body is tossed, the gun barrel seems to be covered by a stick. It seems to be pulled by the thread, and it doesn't run around!

Moreover, when the two sides approached the best long-distance shooting distance, the "Cheetah-3" did not need to stop, aim, and shoot at all, but directly locked on the move and fired first!

"Boom!" A slender armor-piercing projectile spewed out from the high-pressure gun chamber suddenly, and at the moment Tian Jianxiu exited the word "cannon", it took less than 2 seconds to come across the sky, hitting the front armor of his car, violently blast! ! ! !
