Chapter 158: The Collision of Iron and Steel Torrents 2
Chapter 158: The Collision of Iron and Steel Torrents 2
In the roar of the engine.
More than 160 tanks of the Eighth Route Army.
Rushed towards the more than 300 Japanese tanks.
The number of tanks of the Eighth Route Army was less than half of that of the Japanese.
However, the tanks used by the Eighth Route Army.
In addition to the Type 97 tanks captured from the Japanese.
There were also several T-34 tanks and more than thirty Type Hope tanks.
The Japanese had other tanks besides the Type 97 tank.
There are also seventy or eighty Type 94 tanks.
So although the Eighth Route Army had fewer tanks.
But the fighting power is very strong.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the difference in armored strength between the two sides is not that big.
As for who wins and who loses in the end.
You'll know after you fight...
……
On the battlefield filled with smoke and dust.
Inside a Hope Type 1 tank that was rushing in the front.
Gunner Wang Erniu was nervous and excited.
Watching the distance between the two sides getting closer and closer.
Wang Erniu shouted: "The enemy tanks are within range, stop moving forward, I'm going to fire..."
Then the tank, which was charging quickly, suddenly braked.
He shrugged forward and stopped.
Wang Erniu quickly aimed at the enemy tank and loaded the shells immediately.
"boom……"
Mao Wenlong and his men did this to increase their firepower.
A 105mm caliber tank main gun specially equipped for the Hope Type tank.
Fired a shell.
It hit a Japanese tank right on the spot.
"Rumble..."
Just one shot.
The Japanese Type 97 tank was blown up, breaking its tracks and deforming its armor.
As for whether the Japanese in the tank are dead or alive?
That's not clear.
Wang Erniu shouted excitedly: "Hit it, hit it, hahahaha, this cannon is so powerful, it destroyed a Japanese tank with just one shot..."
Tank driver Zhang Changlin starts the tank.
He said to Wang Erniu, "Don't be excited! You will be qualified only when you can accurately hit the enemy tank while the tank is moving.
With your current ability, you have to stop the tank so that you can hit the enemy. Once we stop, we will become sitting ducks, don't you know that?"
Zhang Changlin had just finished speaking.
Several shells landed next to their tanks.
"Rumble...Rumble..."
The enemy's artillery shells fell, causing earth and rocks to fly everywhere.
But the caliber of the Japanese tank's artillery was too small.
And I hope that the armor of this type of tank will be super thick.
That was after the shells exploded.
However, it did not cause any substantial damage to the Hope Type 1 tank.
It’s just Wang Erniu, Zhang Changlin and others in the tank.
But he was shocked and dizzy.
Zhang Changlin cursed: "The Japanese are really bullying me. They just have more tanks than us. They are targeting me and bombing me. Unfortunately, their shells are too weak and can't kill me.
Hehe... Sit tight, I'll lead you to the front and beat the devils hard..."
Wang Erniu: "Just wait and see! I promise to destroy all the Japanese tanks..."
So the tank rushed out quickly.
Rushed directly to the front of the team.
Then Zhang Changlin stopped the tank.
Let the enemy's artillery bombard them.
Zhang Chenglin assisted Wang Erniu.
The two men quickly loaded the shells and fired at the enemy tanks again.
"Rumble..."
With one shot, another Japanese tank was destroyed.
I quickly aimed at the next tank.
Keep firing at the enemy...
……
In the command post in the rear.
Mao Chenglu looked at the more than 30 Type 1 Hope tanks rushing in the front.
Almost all of them adopted the same tactics.
While charging, the tank suddenly stopped and fired at the enemy.
After a round of shelling.
More than 20 Japanese tanks were destroyed.
The rest were basically shells that missed the target or were avoided by the Japanese in time.
Otherwise, there will be more scrapped Japanese tanks...
After firing one or two shots.
Then those who hope that the Type 1 tank will continue to charge.
After closing the distance with the Japanese.
They were lined up in a row across the battlefield, forming a solid steel line of defense.
They fired at the Japanese tanks with all their might.
The Type 97 tank following behind.
He did not rush forward rashly.
Instead, it followed behind the Hope Type 1 tank.
Look for opportunities to fire at the enemy...
"Boom...boom..."
The tanks of the Eighth Route Army opened fire at full force.
The Japanese tanks were also firing at full speed.
But the situation on the battlefield was clear.
The caliber of the artillery equipped on the Japanese Type 97 tank is too small.
It is impossible to destroy the Hope Type 1 tank in one go.
So it was a one-sided battle.
The Japs basically just got beaten.
The Japs knew that it would be useless to continue fighting like this. What was the difference between this and committing suicide?
So the artillery behind the Japanese opened fire.
"Swoosh... Boom..."
To deal with the armored torrent of the Eighth Route Army.
The artillery used by the Japs this time were all large cannons with a caliber of more than 100 mm.
As bombs fell in pieces.
There was a huge explosion on the battlefield.
In an instant, smoke and dust rose up, and earth and rocks flew everywhere.
Tanks on the Eighth Route Army's side.
More than 20 vehicles were destroyed in one round of shelling.
If this continues, the Japanese will launch a few more rounds of artillery fire.
Then all the tanks of the Eighth Route Army would be finished!
Fortunately, before the war.
The Eighth Route Army has conducted various tactical simulations and formulated a variety of response plans.
Tank driver on the battlefield.
The enemy was seen starting to bombard with artillery.
Hurry up and drive the tank to charge quickly.
Try to rush into the enemy's tank group.
Engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat—fire at each other at close range.
In this way, whether it is the enemy's artillery or bombers.
If they don't want to hurt their own people, they will be cautious.
This is the opportunity that the Eighth Route Army can take advantage of...
The soldiers followed the plan.
Mao Chenglu from the command center refused to do it...
