Chapter 305 Snow Red and Blood White 6
It is relatively difficult to start. The narrow tracks and overlapping load-bearing wheels are frozen, which is simply a nightmare for tank soldiers. Zhang Xuewu is very glad that the iron-riding tank does not adopt the design of overlapping load-bearing wheels of jackal tanks!
And on top of the turret of the new Iron Knight II tank, a small fully enclosed machine gun turret with a circumferential mirror is also designed. This turret is designed to be a small turret that can resist large-caliber machine gun bullets, because Zhang Xuewu found that many tanks were destroyed because parallel machine guns and coaxial machine guns could not Meet the requirements of protecting the vehicle, and the most important thing is that the tanker exposes his body to the outside of the body turret to make a machine gun? The probability of being hit is amazing, so the designer installed a machine gun turret on the Iron Knight II main battle tank, which seems to be the best solution before the remote control machine gun came out.
The battle in Chaoyang has entered the white-hot stage. The main force of the Second Division, the Eighth Division and the 12th Division under the command of the Continental Guards have spoofed on three sides, focusing on the tactics of attacking the east of the city, and cooperating with the Type 97 150mm cannon, in an attempt to tear a gap in the city defense of Chaoyang.
The Type 97 150mm cannon was developed by the Japanese Army on the basis of its technical reserve of Type Ninety-Six 150mm cannon. As a suppression fire gun of the Japanese Field Heavy Artillery Union, it is an improved version of Type Eighty-nine. There are two types of Type 97 cannons: mobile type and fortress type, which can be used to traction and maneuver. The fortress type has produced a total of 30 guns, equipped with the fortress garrison troops belonging to the Kwantung Army. The main equipment of the mobile type is the local field heavy artillery wing. This time, the exception gave the Kwantung Army ten extremely precious mobile type 95. The ten-millimeter cannon is used to attack the fortress.
The overall defense of Chaoyang Fortress is centered on the Wolf Mountain Fortress, along the Daling River. In the past, the main reason why the Japanese army did not dare to cross the Daling River was that the east side of Chaoyang was generally covered by the troops. The Japanese army troops crossing the river were likely to be attacked by the defenders and reinforcements and the whole army was destroyed, but this big Linghe River is frozen, and even heavy artillery can easily pass through, and Chaoyang Fortress is isolated at this moment, so he dares to let go. As long as he captures Chaoyang Fortress at the fastest speed, even if he is taken back by the [***] team, he will achieve the previous goal, which is, to attract the tenth war zone. Zhang Xuewu's main force created fighters for the attacking Tojo aircraft.
So whether it is the main force of the Second Division, the Eighth Division and the Twelfth Division under the command of the Zhouli Army, or Lianjie Ijiya, who wanted to eat the Fourth Division of the Zhanyang Youth Army with the strength of the three divisions, it can be said that they are as high-spirited as chicken blood.
Huozhou's troops deployed the 36th Division in the mountain fortress east of Chaoyang to block the reinforcements of the middle [***] team in Chifeng, and put all the heavy artillery and wild mountain artillery troops into the attack on Chaoyang. The gunfire all over the sky seems to have the posture of erasing Chaoyang Fortress from the earth?
Dai Peng, the commander of the Chaoyang garrison, has a question at this moment about the fierce but indefected artillery fire of the Japanese army and a wave of attacks? It is said that I am not particularly rich. I eat with pickles in a small bowl. They have been repeatedly destroyed by the air force before the arsenal in the northeast! Even if production is resumed, how much can the output be? I said that I knew that their 150mm field heavy howitzers had no effect on the permanent main fortifications, but even 75mm, 90mm and 105mm guns were also bombarded?
Now at least two Japanese artillery groups have been hit hard by the counterattack of the garrison's artillery? Are you crazy? Dai Peng thinks that there must be a demon in the abnormal! Is my strategic intention not to capture the morning sun? If it weren't for the capture of Chaoyang to open a path? Why did the Japanese army fight so hard? The new fourth division of the youth army of Zhanyang is a first-class elite. Its reinforcements are blocked, which shows that there is at least one division of the Japanese army blocking, and the Japanese army that besieged Chaoyang. Dai Peng doesn't think that he has set up such a big position with a swoop?
You should know that in just a few days, the casualties of the Japanese army outside Chaoyang City exceeded 5,000. Under cold conditions, it is difficult for most of the wounded of the Japanese army to be rescued in time. However, the army in the east of Chaoyang City has broken through the outer defense line of the second regiment and is bombarding the city with heavy artillery! If the city pass collapses, then Dai Peng can only give up the main defense line and withdraw his troops to Wolf Mountain for the final resistance. The life gate of Chaoyang Fortress is in the east of the city!
Just as Dai Peng was at a loss, Lu Yu suddenly found Dai Peng and saluted, "Sir, Mr. Dai, we still have eight jackal light tanks and one experimental tank, which can be put into the defense of the city in Dongcheng."
Dai Peng was slightly stunned and said, "No, the order given to me by the superior is to cover your breakthrough at any cost. The test car must not fall into the hands of the Japanese army!"
Lu Yu said helplessly, "The engine of the test car has broken down, so we can't go now, so we must devote ourselves to the defensive battle in the east of the city. We can only live in death. We will blow up the tank at the last minute!"
Dai Peng took a deep breath and said, "I have to ask for instructions before I can decide. You are subordinate to the war zone chiefs. The new chariot is very important. Even if the army of the first division is destroyed, I still have to carry out the orders of the war zone chief. Do you understand? Company commander Lu?"
Dai Peng immediately asked Zhang Xuewu, who commanded Chengde's operation. Zhang Xuewu immediately instructed that Lu Yu's experimental group participated in the Chaoyang defense battle! Because Zhang Xuewu knew that even if he was short of resources, even if he got the wreckage of the iron tank, they were reluctant to make it, because this iron tank was too expensive. The highly burizing manganese-chromium alloy was not something I could afford to play with. In particular, the second layer of additional armor also penetrated part of the tungsten. I'm afraid there is only Zhang in the world. Learn martial arts to do something luxurious.
After receiving the order, Lu Yu immediately sent the scientific researchers to the core fortress of Wolf Mountain. He personally drove the iron riding test vehicle to the east city under the cover of eight jackal light chariots. At this moment, the battle in the east city has entered the white-hot stage. The city gate has been bombarded by the artillery of the Japanese army. In the square in the city gate, Several sub-mother castles were overturned by the 47mm war cannons equipped with the latest equipment of the Japanese army. Although the Japanese army lost several war defense cannons, it opened the way to attack. A large number of influxed Japanese soldiers launched a fierce street battle with the remnants of the first and second regiments of the defenders.
With the help of the tenacious resistance of familiar terrain and street fortifications, the garrison. Because the first garrison is a reserve force, the light weapons have not been updated. There are only a small number of submachine guns, which do not occupy an absolute firepower advantage in the battle. In addition to the army's indiscriminate artillery bombardment, the defenders are completely passive for a while.
After Lu Yu's iron riding experimental tank arrived, he immediately fired at the Japanese army's close combat defense gun. The Japanese army's original 37 mm defense gun was not effective against jackal light tanks, so I studied it and began to mass produce the Type 97 47mm. War defense artillery, it can be said that war is the catalyst for weapon research and development, which is really good. Just like the relationship between anti-tank guns and tank armor, it is the relationship between spears and shields.
Two front jackal light tanks were hit by the Japanese army's combat defense artillery in a row. Lu Yu immediately drove the iron horse experimental tank topped it. The front angle of the turret and the front armor were hit by the Japanese army three times in succession. As a result, his 50mm war cannon could not be effectively penetrated, but the iron riding experiment tank also occurred. After a violent shaking, the double-layer body turret saved the interior crew from fainting.
Lu Yu immediately made coaxial machine guns and tank guns to name the battle defense guns exposed by the Japanese army. The following six jackal light tanks also escorted them. The yak light tanks, also equipped with 50mm and 60 tube caliber, fired at the Japanese army in the direction of the breakthrough, and the seven military battle defense guns entering the city wall were destroyed. After the destruction, the Japanese army's attack suddenly came to a standstill, because the six tanks, mainly Lu Yu's iron riding experiment, surnamed tanks, protected two destroyed tracked and jackal light tanks with engines with the classic ring defense front.
After breaking through the city gate, he actually encountered the opponent's chariot in the square? And there is also a huge tank that is invulnerable? The weight and size of the iron-rider test tank of 3.5 tons, the huge flat turret and the 100mm main gun on it, compared with the Army's Type 95, are indeed extremely huge.
Tank guns, parallel machine guns and coaxial machine guns fired fiercely in the direction of the breakthrough. The influx of Japanese soldiers and the exiting Japanese officers and soldiers were crowded at the breakthrough position and were killed all over the city. At a distance of more than 100 meters along the collapse of the city wall, thousands of panicked Japanese soldiers were killed on the rubble and ruins.
The Chinese defenders in the city also immediately used firepower to block the breakthrough. As the saying goes, their own knives can't cut their own handles. The artillery group on the Wolf Mountain of Chaoyang Fortress can be said to be powerless to fight against the East Gate. They can only carry out fierce shelling on the other three aspects, and the Japanese infantry trapped in the city walls cried in panic. Call for support.
More than 20 Japanese army's "divine power" tanks outside the city began to drive full horsepower. This so-called divine power tank is actually equipped with a 47mm battle gun on top of the Type 95 tank. Due to the tight time, the turret of the Type 95 light battle vehicle can't be installed at all. Structure, so I used the 95 chassis for practical purposes to make a very "fashionable" convertible!
In such cold weather, it is really hard to imagine how the Japanese army's chariot soldiers came in a long-distance drive in a convertible sports car. And it's hard to imagine how weak the protection of this so-called divine power is? If its 47mm anti-aircraft gun can destroy the jackal light tank, then the machine gun of the jackal light tank can kill the "divine power"!
