Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

The Type 94 ultra-light tank is a smaller tank than the Type 95 tank. It is nicknamed the "Azuki Tank" and its official name is the Type 94 Cavalry Armored Vehicle.

整辆94式超轻型坦克长3.08米、宽1.62米、高2米；发动机功率只有23.5千瓦，最大速度是40千米/时，最大行程是208千米，车内乘员为2人，主要武器是1门7-.7毫米机枪。

Strictly speaking, the Type 94 ultra-light tank is not a real tank because it does not even have a main battle tank gun.

In the first line of defense of the attack on the Xinzhongcun base, the Japanese army dispatched two Type 95 light tanks and ten Type 94 super light tanks, as well as three Type 91 armored vehicles.

Such a large-scale armored force is very rare.

At the same time, this also shows that the Japanese dare not underestimate the enemy.

The Japanese front line position was about one kilometer away from the first line of defense.

Such a distance is basically beyond the range of all weapons, so the Japanese set up their forward positions in this direction, which also made it easier to launch an attack on Xinzhongcun.

"Kill Jiji!"

"attack!"

The Japanese Type 95 light tanks, Type 94 super light tanks, and Type 91 armored vehicles were driving in the front, followed by a large number of infantry!

It is worth mentioning that the Japanese and puppet troops at that time did not understand the concept of infantry-tank coordination.

Therefore, these Japanese and puppet troops and tanks and armored vehicles did not cooperate effectively.

Hula la...

The Japanese and puppet army's attacking force of several thousand people, plus so many tanks and armored vehicles, launched a massive charge.

At the same time, after the Japanese artillery bombardment ended, the soldiers of the independent battalion who were hiding in tunnels and bunkers came out one after another and quickly took their combat positions.

If the fortifications are destroyed, then quickly build a temporary fortification or move to another location.

All soldiers are on high alert.

The main forces responsible for the first line of defense were the 3rd Infantry Company, the Elite Company and the Sichuan Army Company, with a combat strength of more than 2,000 people.

There is also an artillery regiment to cooperate!

Zhou Weiguo lay on the trench, observing the Japanese and puppet troops charging forward with a telescope. There were also many tanks and armored vehicles in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Weiguo said solemnly: "This little devil really spent a lot of money to send out so many tanks and armored vehicles."

It was the first time for Zhou Weiguo, who had participated in the Battle of Nanjing, to see so many Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

Xu Hu: "Captain, what are you afraid of... I heard that the artillery company is equipped with a new type of anti-tank weapon, which is more than enough to deal with these tanks!"

The RPG-7 has been equipped to the artillery company and is specifically used to attack tanks.

This is an extremely powerful RPG weapon.

Zhou Weiguo nodded, then changed the subject and said, "Aren't we equipped with several M134 Gatling machine guns?"

"Pass on my order. Use the Gatling gun to shoot down the Japs' tanks!"

"The armor of the Douding tank is very thin. Maybe it will work."

The Douding Tank is not only small, but also has thin armor. The front armor is relatively thick, but it is only a few millimeters thick.

If the heavy machine gun uses armor-piercing bullets, it can penetrate it.

The armor on the sides and back is even thinner, just a thicker piece of iron sheet, which can be penetrated by bullets from a heavy machine gun!

But it is generally difficult to hit the side of the Douding Tank.

Xu Hu was stunned and said, "Captain, our M134 Gatling machine guns use ordinary bullets. Will it work?"

The bullets produced by arsenals nowadays are all ordinary steel core bullets that have not been hardened and have limited penetration power.

If it is an armor-piercing warhead, it can also penetrate the front armor of the Douding tank.

Zhou Weiguo: "Never mind! Just give it a try and you'll know!"

Looking at the Japanese and puppet troops charging over, the soldiers of the elite company and the Sichuan Army company were on high alert.

Not far behind the first line of defense is the artillery position.

Yang Zhihua also observed that the Japanese and puppet troops had launched an attack, so he shouted loudly: "Fire!"

The Japanese have used up their three tricks.

Now it’s the independent battalion artillery company’s turn!

Following the order, the artillery company's Type 92 infantry guns, Italian guns and mortars opened fire one after another.

dong dong dong...

swish swish...  

One shell after another flew out of the barrel, drawing an arc in the air and firing towards the group of Japanese and puppet troops who were charging.

Although there is no way to find the Japanese artillery positions, we can attack their offensive forces!

Shells kept falling on the attacking Japanese and puppet troops, and a loud explosion was heard instantly.

Rumble...

bongbongbong......

Explosions came and went.

The fire suddenly appeared!

Smoke fills the air!

The explosions of various artillery shells produced powerful shock waves, carrying shrapnel that splashed towards the charging Japanese and puppet troops.

The Japanese and puppet troops were unable to dodge and were hit by shrapnel and killed instantly.

"Shoot! Shoot!"

Yang Zhihua ordered to continue firing.

The more advanced M2A1 105 caliber howitzer did not fire.

Because this gun has a limited number of shells, Yang Zhihua kept some for future use!

The firepower of the independent battalion's artillery company was also very powerful. Artillery shells kept falling on the charging Japanese and puppet troops, constantly taking their lives.

The Japanese soldiers and traitors kept falling down one after another.

Rumble...

bongbongbong......

Shells kept falling and explosions continued to sound.

The independent battalion’s artillery reserves are still sufficient.

The shells kept bombarding as if they were free.

The explosion made the Japanese soldiers confused.

They never expected that the Eighth Route Army had such fierce artillery fire.

So fierce!

Is this still the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army?

So fierce?

Some of the puppet soldiers were so frightened that they were ready to run back and serve as artillerymen.

But he was discovered by the Japanese commander and was shot dead with one shot!

bang bang bang...

After the Japanese commander shot and killed several deserters, he shouted, "Charge! Anyone who deserts will die!"

"Kill Jiji, charge!"

With the Japanese warlord watching them, both the Japanese and the puppet army had no choice but to charge forward.

This round of bombing was enough to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese.

Many Japanese soldiers and traitors fell in this wave of bombing.

However, such fierce bombing did not have much impact on the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

Although the crops of the Japanese tanks were relatively thin.

But unless a shell happens to fall on a tank or armored vehicle, it will not destroy a tank or armored vehicle.

After all, it's not made of paper.

Soon, after suffering certain casualties, the Japanese and puppet troops charged across the artillery company's bombing area.

Because of the location of the artillery positions, and the angles of the various artillery pieces...it's impossible to bomb if you're too close.

After a round of bombing, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered more than 500 casualties.

This is not small.

At this time, they were still more than 400 meters away from the defensive position.

At this distance, it is basically still out of range of many guns.

However, on the way to the charge, the independent battalion buried many traps.

It's the ground array.

The Japanese and puppet troops who were charging had no idea that there was an underground missile array. When they charged forward, the underground missiles were instantly triggered.

Rumble...

bongbongbong......

....... . .......

The mines kept exploding, inflicting heavy damage to the charging Japanese and puppet troops.

“Ah…it hurts!”

"Ah ah ah ah..."

"Help!"

............

Many Japanese and puppet soldiers had their legs blown off.

The whole person fell on the battlefield, bleeding, horrifying, wailing and screaming.

The biggest feature of ground bombs is that they basically injure the enemy's legs and make them lose their combat effectiveness, but they will not die in a short period of time, which will leave behind waves of wailing and screaming.

At the same time, these ground lei also caused the two small tanks to break down.

The tracks of the two Type 94 ultra-light tanks were broken by the ground, and they were stuck in the same place, unable to move forward or move.

Although there was a ground array blocking their way, the Japanese and puppet troops had no choice but to charge forward.

After all, it is impossible to clear mines at such a distance.

Although more than 400 meters is still beyond the range of many rifles, it is within the range of light machine guns and heavy machine guns.

Using engineers to clear mines would be a waste of time and a suicide mission, so they could only rely on the lives of the Japanese and puppet troops to clear mines.

However, it was the 101st Regiment that charged in the front, so many of those killed by the bombs were puppet soldiers.

In the eyes of the Japanese, the puppet troops were just used as bullets for them.

Rumble...

bongbongbong......

The charging Japanese and puppet troops constantly triggered ground bombs, and many of them had their legs broken or were blown away.

This ground formation caused the Japanese and puppet troops to lose more than 200 people.

Finally, they were only two hundred meters away from the first line of defense.

This distance is within the range of rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns and other weapons.

So after entering the firing range, the soldiers on both sides immediately began firing at each other.

bang bang bang...
