Chapter 275 Wildcat with teeth
"Are you gone?"
Hearing the voice of battalion commander Hu Sangui, Li Daniel quickly raised his head and looked at the airship troops that had completed the bombing and disappeared behind the horizon. He breathed a long sigh of relief and waved around.
Seeing Li Da Niu's signal, Hu Sangui immediately called on the soldiers to get out of the woods where they were hiding and removed the eight thick branches taller than one person in front of them. As the branches and grass were lifted, eight unique cars appeared in front of the soldiers of the third battalion.
After the last Motianling sniper battle, the third battalion of the regiment was almost removed. Fortunately, the young master learned that he immediately ordered the third battalion to be rebuilt, and also awarded the title of the first hero battalion of the army.
With the strong support of the general and the commander, and in order to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the three battalions is not reduced, the supplementary recruits are almost all from the reserve troops that have been trained for a long time, rather than the recruits trained directly from Liaodong.
This made Hu Sangui cry with joy. Even when the young master and the chief of staff came to award medals and collective honors of the hero camp to everyone, they almost held the young master's thigh and kowtowed.
But what he didn't expect was that before he was happy for a long time, the third battalion suddenly received an order to be stationed somewhere in Changbai Mountain, which could not even be seen. He was not only transferred from the front line of the Yalu River, but also ordered to prohibit active contact with the outside world, which made Hu Sangui almost fall into despair.
But he didn't expect that on the day the troops arrived, three strange cars drove into the camp under the heavy protection of the gendarmerie brigade, which made him and all the soldiers stare.
As an old soldier and battalion commander, the car is not new to him, because when the collective medal was awarded, the young master specially approved two military vehicles to the third battalion, but after seeing the three strange cars that arrived, he couldn't help staring.
Because this car is really weird, not only is the front windshield almost covered by a steel plate, but only a crack observation window is left, and the front of the steel plate is 8 mm thick enough to directly fire low-end 7.62 mm bullets within 100 meters.
And not only the front of the car, but also the two sides are covered with slightly thinner steel plates. Only the only door in and out of the back has no steel plates, and the whole car is like a big iron coffin.
This didn't make him most excited. After several technicians put a modified Maxim machine gun on the roof of the car with a much thinner barrel and installed three shields, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I didn't dare to say that I had experienced a hundred battles. At least I had seen a tragic war. I saw the important surname of Maxim's machine gun, and I knew the advantages and disadvantages of this machine gun whose weight and movement were not satisfactory. Therefore, after seeing the machine gun being pressed on the car, I immediately clenched my fists excitedly.
At that time, although the machine gun was also equipped with wheels, after all, it was too heavy and very inconvenient to move. In the face of waves of charge, it had to shoot continuously. In the end, it was almost destroyed by faults and the enemy's close-range shooting.
If the Maxim machine gun could move quickly at that time without sticking to a certain point, then the Russians could also pull away enough distance to slowly kill them if they wanted to charge, they would have to launch a desperate counterattack in the end, and almost lost the establishment of the battalion.
Taking the long winter closure as a cover, all three battalions participated in the inspection and testing of these three so-called armored vehicles for several months in a row. The whole battalion studied the combat manual called pedicing vehicle collaboration compiled by the young master, and provided a lot of valuable improvements for the finalization of armored vehicles. See you.
When the third battalion tossed three armored vehicles to pieces, and a month after walking out of Changbai Mountain, eight new armored vehicles named Wildcats finally officially entered the third battalion after widening tires and other technical improvements. From then on, these eight wild cats have become treasures that Hu Sangui must check every day, and even giggles with their rice bowls. Pimples. .
Unfortunately, due to the narrow mountain road in Yizhou, not to mention the wildcat armored vehicles, even the horses are difficult to do, so the third battalion has always been regarded as a reserve force. In addition, this new armored vehicle must be strictly confidential, so it has not been able to fish for the battle across the river.
However, this situation is finally going to change today. In addition to the Han River barrier, Incheon to Seoul is almost a flat river. In addition, Incheon is the earliest port in North Korea. The road from here to Seoul is very smooth enough for wild cats to gallop!
The only regret is that because of the sharp increase in weight, the car can only run a little more than two hours at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, but this is enough. From Incheon to Seoul, it is only 33 kilometers.
Eight wild cats were urged by the shaking handle, and the exhaust pipe suddenly spewed out black smoke, which made the soldiers cough repeatedly. Before everyone could react, Ma Jun had already climbed up the machine gun position. After patting the top of the car, the No. 01 wild cat was the first to rush out of the camouflage.
Since he took over his brother's class and became one of the few machine gunners in the camp who participated in the Mosky Ridge War, he naturally occupied the No. 01 car. Every time he saw this new armored car, he couldn't help thinking of his dead brother. If there was such a mobile machine gun car at that time, even if there were tens of thousands more Russians. Soldier, presumably with his brother's ability to shoot with a machine gun, he will not be nailed to the position and finally hit by a shotgun.
"Let's go!"
Hu Sangui excitedly got into the third wild cat through the back door, because each wild cat could carry five people, one driver, one co-pilot and three machine gun squad soldiers. Battalion commander Hu naturally occupied a co-pilot position.
In the distance, there has already been a dense sound of gunfire, and countless comrades-in-arms have formed anxiety with the Japanese army. Although the warship bombarded for three hours, and the airship also dropped dozens of tons of bombs, those Japanese soldiers obviously learned the ability of the three battalions in the Motianling. Every time they encountered shelling, they huddled into a group to hide, so they were damaged and Not very big.
"Gunnie, dare to learn from you, Third Master Hu!"
Hu Sangui raised his telescope and saw the Japanese soldier squirming in the trench. He stamped his feet in anger. With a roar, he patted the steel plate and ordered to accelerate. A few minutes later, eight wild cats rushed into the battlefield with the three battalions hiding behind their steel bodies--
Hasegawa gasped hurriedly, and his face turned pale because he inhaled too much gunpowder smoke. He dodged the shells and was lucky to avoid those strange things that could fly and throw bombs, which had already exhausted everyone. If it hadn't been for the strict discipline and the urging of the officers next to him, maybe he would have turned around. I left.
Beside him, there were two comrades-in-arms who were already scorched black. They were all killed by those bombs from the sky after being thrown into the trench. This scene still made him linger, but now it's not the time to think too much. He quickly raised his gun and pressed a colorful figure hundreds of meters away into the sight.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a series of chirping sounds sounded from his side. The mound in front of him was suddenly beaten into dust, which scared him and he quickly withdrew his head. He couldn't figure out why they were all rifles, and the soldiers of the Pacific Army opposite were obviously faster than himself.
After the chirping sound passed, Hasegawa took a few deep breaths and raised his head again, but before he could find the escaped figure, the scene in front of him completely solidified again.
In the eyes, a strange thing that had never been seen suddenly rushed out of the woods in the distance. It emitted black smoke, like a frightened wild horse rampage. All the partners in front of it would be torn to pieces by the long tongue of fire on the top.
What is that?
Hasegawa felt that he was about to go crazy. From dense shells, to big eggs that could fly overhead, to powerful bombs, to such strange big guys with black smoke in front of them, what other means do they have?!
Before he could figure out what the opposite thing was, the tongue of fire had swept at him. The bullets hit around the trench like a rainstorm. Hundreds of partners were pierced by bullets and bursting their heads. When a splash of blood mixed into his eyes, the strange thing with black smoke had changed from one to eight. It came with a neat column.
"Ban Bang."
Suddenly, there were countless gunshots in the position. Almost all the partners pressed the strange thing with black smoke into the rifle front sight, but soon they were disappointed, because everyone found that no matter how hard they tried, the bullet could only hit a few sparks on the other party, rubbing out a white spot, which could not hurt at all. A little bit.
The speed of the wild cat is not fast. Compared with the roaring airship, it can be said to be as slow as a snail, but it is much faster than the infantry on both feet. Under the protection of armor, it almost swaggered to 300 meters away from the trench.
"Dad""
The unique sound of Maxim machine gun firing, even Hasegawa, who shrank into the trench, could still be heard very clearly. The bullets shuttled around, which made him almost shrink into a ball. Those partners who had no time to dodge or wanted to test the shooting were directly torn apart by the bullet rain as soon as they came out.
A partner next to him turned blue with fear. He shivered and finally couldn't hold on. He turned around and was about to run back, but when he had just climbed out of the trench, it was as if his body had been planted with a bomb, and it suddenly cracked into several pieces.
His arm fell in front of Hasegawa, looking at the blood that was still coming out of the broken place. Hasegawa's eyes were actually a large area of white eyes. When countless three battalion soldiers with guns flashed out of the back of the wild cat armored car and accurately threw grenades into the trench, the whole trench seemed to explode.
Looking at the feet, with gunpowder smoke, which had been imitated but was only equipped with a few grenades because of insufficient materials, Hasegawa shivered and was about to kick it away when he suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes. After his ears were filled with the explosion, he completely lost consciousness.
Ma Jun will not care about the life and death of the Japanese private soldier who was suppressed by himself. He huddled in the trench and was finally killed by a grenade by his comrade-in-arms. He pulled the trigger, and his eyes swept through every guy who tried to poked out his head in the trench like an eagle falcon. As soon as he found it, he immediately turned the machine gun and a shuttle of bullets until the right It was completely cracked.
Because eight wild cats that could not cross the trenches began to slowly turn around less than 50 meters away from the trenches and drove parallel along the trenches. Under the suppression of machine guns, the soldiers in the trenches were either killed by a large number of grenades, or because they were blown up by bullets flying everywhere.
"Change the bullet!"
Pulling the trigger and seeing the red part of the belt appear, Ma Jun immediately shouted. The loader hiding in the car quickly poked out half of his head and took the canvas belt handed over by another partner. After the red-dyed belt was swallowed up by the machine gun, he immediately stuffed the new belt into the gun.
The Maxim machine gun, which had just slowed down the rate of fire for the change of bullets, broke out again. The gunpowder gas drove the circulation between the water pipe of the muzzle and the cooling water tank, and the hot barrel continued to ensure the normal operation of the machine gun under a steady stream of cold water.
A few minutes later, only a few kilometers of sniper trench were beaten into a hornet's nest. When the first team of three battalion soldiers rushed into the trenches, the positions that the Japanese army had painstakingly learned to build finally began to collapse.
But Ma Jun was not excited. A shell shot from a few piles of firewood piles and branches 500 meters away made the No. 4 car in front suddenly burst out of Mars. This scene suddenly made him seriously congested, and he immediately turned the muzzle and swept over.
The rainstorm-like bullet screen hit the location of the cannon, and even the big tree next to it was pierced. Several Japanese artillerymen did not even shout, but became a pile of broken meat.
Probably when they saw an armored car damaged, countless enemy troops wearing slightly different from the Japanese dark military uniforms immediately came in the distance. It turned out that the North Korean puppet soldiers who were blown up by the airship and shouted to escape under the threat of the Japanese army's bayonet, they charged against the rain of bullets.
In this scene, both people in a special airship hovering at an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters with binoculars laughed.
Unlike the standard hippo class, this slightly smaller airship adopts a new closed pod, which is not only protected by thick armor, but also uses safer and more expensive helium in the overhead airbag for the first time.
The reason why such strict protection measures are adopted is that the airship is specially built for the General Staff. The closed pod is not only equipped with eight seats, but also carries three radio stations, which are specially used for air command.
This airship, which had just completed the test, welcomed the most important guests on its first expedition, so that the captain was so scared that he directly set the minimum altitude at 2,000 meters, and ordered it to be at least 3,000 meters away from the belligerent circle.
Because Master Li is still on the airship!
Li Mo smiled and put down the telescope and stuffed a piece of milk candy into his mouth. He said that although I was very good at learning, I heard that in the Battle of Motianling, my troops used trenches, and machine gun cannons as a backing to block tens of thousands of Russian troops, so I also learned this method and was ready to cooperate with machine guns and artillery to block the enemy.
But they have obviously not learned enough. First of all, Incheon lacks a dangerous place like Skyscraper, and the Japanese army's trenches are obviously dug too little. Even if they don't put in armored vehicles, two trenches of less than three or four kilometers can't stop the first division with a large number of grenades and mortars, not to mention the previous naval guns and flying. The boat has destroyed most of the heavy equipment of the Japanese army.
The Wildcat Type 1 armored car, which played for the first time, obviously did not satisfy Li Mo. Its speed was 20 kilometers per hour, which was not as good as riding a bicycle. The No. 4 car that was hit just now was because it could not dodge. The power of the Maxim machine gun was good, but the range was still too close, and it encountered sandbags and other obstructions. The bullet obviously lacks penetration, not to mention the cross-country and breakthrough trenches in the two-wheel drive body.
If the wheeled armored vehicles equipped with rapid-fire cannons in later generations are hit ten points, then I'm afraid the wild cat can only hit one point, but this point has now become the last straw to crush myself.
Because this wild cat wrapped in steel is like a madman with hair all over its body, sharp claws, and white teeth. After tasting the smell of blood, even the elephant dares to bite a few bites.
And it is said that after seeing the failure of the trench, I have lost my patience and returned to the traditional mode of warfare. I tried to use the North Korean puppet army to consume and block the eye-catching, but actually adopted a dense charge formation.
This scene can't help but remind him of the scene of General Nomu Dianxi, who was known as the military god of the army in the Russian War in history, who finally drowned the Russian army equipped with machine guns and cannons with the tactics of the sea of people. Unfortunately, they encountered seven wildcat armored vehicles that were put into actual combat for the first time, and there were the first batch of clothes behind them. A soldier of the first division of the Type 97 semi-automatic rifle.
Unless I can go back to the front of the war and connect the trenches, otherwise the first division with seven Wildcat-type armored vehicles as sharp knives is enough to tear up any line of defense.
The sound of machine guns and explosions, even if they are thousands of meters away, can still be heard clearly. There is smoke everywhere, a pinch of flames rising from all over the battlefield. Seven wildcat armored vehicles that were put into actual combat for the first time have been inserted into those pseudo-armies like hot red blades. The bullet rain tore the air and exploded the body. A team of soldiers Fall down like cutting wheat.
Li Mo could even see that several lucky people dodged the bullets, and the frightened pseudo-military soldiers even forgot to escape and were directly crushed into meat cakes by wild cats.
A few minutes of close-range shooting finally made the North Korean puppet army unable to resist. Despite the shouting of the soldiers behind them, they spread their feet and began to escape one after another. Once the defeat occurred, not to mention the Japanese army at a loss in the face of armored vehicles, even Li Mo could not command.
From Jinghai ship to triple artillery. From the rapid-fire technology of naval guns to radio communication and navigation. From the ranging and primary fire control system. From new submarines and torpedoes, to airships and wild cats in front of them.
In this battle, there have been a lot of things that they have revealed, although more than half of them, including white phosphorus incendiary bombs, tube withdrawal technology, fire control technology, and delay technology to improve the accuracy of triple artillery, it will take some time for the Western powers to crack it.
Although unexposed submarines, torpedoes, radios and steam turbines, and oil-fired boilers are their real killers, no one knows how long it will take for these technological powers to break through. Although it was clear last time that some scientists made it possible to ensure a 10-year lead in these fields, in case What about it?
No one knows!
Therefore, military operations should be cut off, return to the road of diplomacy, provoke contradictions and competitions among countries, divert the attention of the Far East, and digest and absorb the current results, which is the most urgent thing.
It's time to continue to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
Thinking of this, Li Mo smiled and said, "Let's go. Back to Lushun, I'm afraid the German fleet has arrived.
