The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 539 Another Battle on the Great Wall

"Bang!" A cloud of gunpowder smoke exploded in the front armor of Tian Jianxiuyi's car, and the slender tungsten carbide core armor-piercing warhead was like an oversized steel needle, easily tearing a piece of its 80mm thick high-strength alloy armor layer. A hole the size of a fist!

The high-speed kinetic energy, explosion, and high temperature and pressure generated at the moment of impact and penetration trigger a small amount of charge in the warhead, which explodes as a whole while penetrating into the Type [-] tank, and heavy fragments the size of a fingernail are mixed in the nearly molten splashes of armor fragments Among them, like a small fountain, it blooms from all sides of the breach, blooming wantonly towards the narrow and crowded interior space of the tank!

Tank drivers suffer first!The explosion point that was higher than his head splashed shrapnel fragments and smashed his upper body into shards of meat in an instant, and he died without even a chance to react.The occupants next to them were not much better, and were smashed into a sieve by the sudden explosion of scattered fragments!

And Tian Jianxiuyi, who was showing half of his body outside and pretending to be a hero, only felt the light in front of his eyes. The loud explosion below made him dizzy and fainted on the spot. Almost at the same time, he seemed to feel that his lower body was hit hard by something. What did it feel like? They are all gone, but the shell loader behind witnessed in horror, the two legs of the squadron leader, together with the stomach, were smashed into five or six egg-sized holes in an instant, and the meat dregs and blood were mixed and sprayed on him. At the same time, the shell he loaded was subconsciously shot out!

The "Cheetah" tank that had been shot in one shot seemed to be fine and was about to continue firing, when the commander suddenly found out.Amidst the boiling fireworks on the opposite side, a cannonball shot out suddenly, killing in front of him suddenly, and there was no time to dodge it. It was only within two or three seconds that the tank traveled a little distance by itself, causing a deviation, plus the shock caused by the moment of impact. , causing the cannonball to hit the front of the turret with a "boom" like shit luck!

"Boom!" The 50mm armor-piercing projectile that penetrated the 75mm external composite armor exploded on the extremely hard turret shell.

The people in the tank felt as if they were put into a big bell and rang it vigorously. The humming and vibrating sound rushed into the interior through the three layers of armor and the inner lining, if they were not wearing anti-G suits.With extremely dense earphones stuffed into their ears, they could all vomit blood at once!

But even with so many protections, they still felt tight in their chests and felt severe pain all over their bodies, almost like being beaten up. The tinnitus lingered in their heads for a long time, and they were dizzy!

The commander shook his head vigorously, looked up at the slightly loose armor lining with lingering fear, and blurted out: "Damn. When did the little devil's shells become so powerful?! They are almost catching up with our early shells. No, I will definitely not be a hero in the future! If you do it a few times, I can't stand it!"

Although it is known that the Japanese army has replaced the main gun of the tank with a more powerful one, but how powerful it is, there is no real object for live ammunition verification.No one can say, it can only be an estimate.Although the research department has confirmed that their main guns are not capable of piercing the external armor and the main armor, but how much damage will be caused after hitting, whoever gets hit will know!

Fortunately, Japan's metallurgical technology is indeed relatively rubbish now, and it does not have as rich tungsten resources as China.Those who are so poor are reluctant to use this thing to make armor-piercing projectiles. In addition, they do not have the German tungsten carbide technology and the ability to make tungsten alloys.Therefore, the strength and hardness of the core of the armor-piercing bullet is at best similar to that of the milling cutter of the machine tool, and it is not even as strong as the cutter head exported from China.

It is such an armor-piercing projectile.The external 50mm composite armor was also pierced, causing an explosion after a frontal impact on the harder turret, and the external layer was removed by a circle the size of a pot lid, but fortunately it did not cause a fire!

The "Cheetah" tank quickly rushed out of the smoke. The four crew members who came back to their senses were not prepared for being hit at all. In addition to the fading smoke, there was no fire or explosion.He was even more annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but aim at "Boom" and hit it with another shot!

More than half of the members of Tian Jianxiuyi's Type 400 tank died. A few seconds later, he himself was brought back to his waking consciousness by a piercing pain. Lying limp in the turret, the cramp-like movement of the dead driver at the moment of being smashed caused the tank to suddenly scramble sideways, and the intact engine continued to work hard to output [-] horsepower of strong kinetic energy, urging the tank like a drunk Start crookedly!

At this moment, the second shell hit!It is almost parallel to the side of the car body, but the 35mm thick side armor is not enough to detonate the tungsten carbide core.

However, after such two impacts, extrusion and collisions, the warhead still exploded after all. High-temperature fragments were ejected from the bottom gap on the right side of the turret and swept towards the soil slope. Xiuyi swept his head and face into a pile of mud, and a few pieces splashed on the rear engine, destroying it, billowing thick smoke immediately rushed out from the hole, and after the tank rushed down for tens of meters, it stopped panting, coughing and creaking. .

"That's about the same!" The commander of the "Cheetah" tank murmured, confirming that the opponent had lost the ability to counterattack, and commanded the vehicle to point the muzzle at the next target.

At this time, the other tanks that were advancing at the same time also opened fire one after another. The shells fired by the astonishing 3mm high-pressure rifled cannon of Qing Yise "Cheetah-105" were completely larger than the 75mm of the Japanese army, and their power was even greater. I don’t know how much higher it is. Anyone who hits the 80mm alloy welded armor in the face can be detonated and causes huge damage inside. However, almost all of the hits from the side pass through, and some even have 50mm side armor. Make two transparent holes!

The "Cheetah" tank group, which was able to aim and fire while marching and had already taken the lead, immediately formed an overwhelming advantage. After firing first, such a result would appear. Not only the frontline commander, but also Luo Zhendong behind were scared at the time jump!

He had already overestimated the power of his own weapons as much as possible.But I didn't expect it to be so tyrannical!One shot and two eyes... Is this really a tank?

"It's not a good thing if the shells are too powerful!" He made a decisive decision and ordered the guys in front to charge, "All replace them with high-explosive shells!" It's a waste to use expensive armor-piercing shells!It seems that the Japanese army's new tanks are still far from enough in terms of armor!

However, the guys in front immediately responded to the order: "Our grenades are almost exhausted in Pinggu County! We have to use armor-piercing bullets!"

Luo Zhendong has not carried out ammunition statistics until now, because he has never considered the consumption of supplies at all. Each of his tanks has about [-] rounds of ammunition, so it is impossible to go through a county and get rid of them?

He obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the group of dogs below to waste things!They are all passionate youths who have been suffocating at home for several years, and seize the opportunity to go to the battlefield.No matter what target you shoot at, you can hit as many as you want!At this time, the twenty or so tanks in the front, at best, each had twenty shells left, but they didn't want to wait for replenishment before going into battle. Their confidence in their weapons was overwhelming, making them feel that even if they hit directly , can also crush the iron-clad turtles of the little devils!

Luo Zhendong suddenly realized his immaturity!No matter how rich the military theory is.It can never replace actual combat, sometimes blind self-confidence and optimism will lead to some unforgivable negligence!Fortunately, this is a local attack operation. If such problems are ignored when going deep into the enemy's path and making a deep impact, it will cause irreparable losses!

He immediately added another order: "Tell the battalions and companies that the battlefield must be controlled within five kilometers. If you exceed this distance, stop the pursuit immediately, and no one is allowed to take risks!"

Immediately afterwards, he ordered the delayed self-propelled artillery battalion and brigade artillery regiment to immediately put into combat preparations. Once the Japanese tank troops retreated, they would immediately cover them with artillery fire.In the end, he shouted to the Army Aviation personnel by radio: "You guys are almost resting? Once the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army are fired, please be sure to clear them as soon as possible!"

"Understood! Don't worry, I'm sure you won't miss anything!" Captain Lu Hang responded lazily, as if he couldn't lift his spirits. Luo Zhendong couldn't help the veins on his forehead throbbing because of his loose attitude. I thought that I would become the brigade commander.You must clean up your grandchildren, what kind of attitude is this!

Over the past seven or eight years, the army has already had its own style and traditions. At present, the navy is the most powerful. It is necessary for them to open up territories and expand overseas expeditions. So far, they have not lost a single defeat, and the results can be called brilliant.The proudest is the Air Force.They were the first to become world-class, their weapons were updated quickly, and their benefits were high. Every battle was inseparable from their protection. They also wiped out the merits of a generation of elite pilots in the Japanese Navy and Army Flying Team. The so-called "first battle" Use me, use me to win" is exactly their footnote.

The army with the largest number of people, just five divisions and one brigade of the regular army, was divided into three teams, and they were scattered in an area thousands of kilometers from the north to the south. The largest unit dispatched each time was the armored division. It's still early.Although there are some victories, they are far from enough compared to the overall power.

Therefore, the army is quite dissatisfied with maintaining a scale of only 20 people for several consecutive years. Looking at the millions of reservists and engineers under its command, it is not a problem to expand ten times or eight times at will!

But a problem of equipment production capacity and garrison territory blocked them.China is such a big place, and it is basically filled with people from all walks of life who get up early. If they expand, where will they put people?Engage in internal strife?How boring!Boss Zhu obviously has no interest in being a savior.

Therefore, in general, the army is quite depressed, and even the army aviation unit assigned to the army is also infected with the bad habits of the air force.

On the battlefield ahead, the opposing sides spent a few minutes shortening the distance between each other to about a thousand meters. For armored weapons with precise aiming and strikes, this is the best killing distance, and it can fully display the power of the main gun.

All the Japanese tanks that had to stop and aim and shoot did not have the expected fierce collision at all. The group of "Cheetahs" whose maneuverability was significantly higher than that of a realm were on the move and fired shots one by one, and a third of the grenades hit them The tanks of the Japanese army were blown up on the spot so that the car body was cracked and the tracks were shattered. The explosion caused by the ammunition penetrating and detonating from the side lifted the heavy turret into the air everywhere, and the burning steel garbage was dotted under the Great Wall. on the plains!

"Baga! Damn China chariot, why can't it be killed?!"

The eyes of the captain of Yuer Takashima's unit were cracked, he wanted to jump down from the top of the mountain, and swallow those arrogant "cheetahs" alive one by one!His expected dream of making great achievements came to naught, and the most powerful chariots in the empire were knocked off one by one like soda cans with ease!

It’s nothing more than simply firing slowly, the opponent’s technology is awesome, but his own shells hit the opponent, and those tanks that don’t look bigger than their own baby Type [-] continue to move forward as if nothing happened, with thick smoke , Fire, what's going on?

The most outrageous thing is that they have already caused a superficial fire, but they can actually see some small explosions spontaneously, and a large piece of white powder quickly extinguished the flames, and no one was seen coming out from the beginning to the end-- - This is simply unscientific!

Like all self-righteous Japanese soldiers, Takashima Yuji never thinks that China's development in just a few years, the level of science and technology is higher than the achievements of the founding of the big Japan in the century, is this just a joke!So, what can be used to explain everything in front of you?

Three squadrons, more than 30 light and heavy tanks, failed to sustain a round, and were all smashed on the spot!On the other side, there seemed to be only one or two vehicles that had to be stopped due to broken tracks, but they could still continue to fire as fixed turrets.

Takashima Yuji closed his eyes in pain, his lips were bitten and a bloodstain dripped out, his hands almost crushed the binoculars, and he gritted his teeth and shouted bitterly: "Tell the artillery that the bombing can be covered indiscriminately!"

All the tanks of the Imperial Army are shattered, and you Chinese tanks, don't even think about going back!So what if we can defeat our chariot?We still have cannons that have not been used!

The cannons of the Japanese army who had been hiding in the mountain fortifications could not help but finally lifted the veil!The terrain on their side is not much better than that of Gubeikou. There are wide enough valley passages to drive directly to the pass of the Great Wall. The opponent's tanks can drive straight in. Unless it rains heavily, ordinary infantry can't stop them at all. Even if you risk being attacked by the air, you will not hesitate to attack! rq! ! !
