Chapter 337 Steel Cemetery
Dai Peng frowned and said, "I'm not asking this question. You see, the sandbag debris attached to the front armor of the 97 reform exploded a shallow pit. Although it broke the spare load-bearing wheel of the fighting vehicle hanging on it, and only left a charred mark on the front armor plate, the whole 97 reform was like being hit by a sledgehammer. Normal? It's like stewed a pot of meat. The military chariot soldiers in it didn't even have time to open the escape door behind the car. It is said that I really lack experience in using tank armored vehicles! Don't they know that they have to open the hatch during tank warfare to prevent the secondary shock wave killing after the car body is broken through?
Lu Yu said with a smile, "Any type of tank in active service is a target compared to our jackal light tank. The breakdown and destruction rate is more than 79 percent. It is almost impossible to slide and bounce. For the iron-riding medium-sized main battle tank, the Japanese army's chariot is simply vulnerable. Whether it is the 37mm long-tube chariot gun or the 47mm chariot gun on the Japanese military chariot, even from the tail, it can't break through the engine armor of the iron-riding medium-sized main battle tank, but the Japanese chariot troops inherited the madness of its army. The wreckage in front of us are the last military chariots destroyed by me. It seems that It should be my last reserve team. I opened the blocked breakthrough with explosives with the front end of the tracked armored car and the car. I said that I was as hysterical as a mad dog with a lit tail.
Dai Peng nodded and said, "My last madness is indeed like a wave of madness. I thought that when the Wolf Mountain Fortress was almost out of protection, I said that I couldn't stand it myself. This battle was about who could hold on to the last five minutes. We withstood the huge casualties and guarded the tunnel of the Wolf Mountain Fortress, but now The bodies of more than 2,000 young men are still left in it, piling up people's lives and desperately. It's our old job! Without Officer Zhang, I would never believe that the firepower of our [***] team would exceed that of myself? I can beat myself, but even if we have an advantage in the firepower of light weapons, human life is human life after all, and the price of victory is too expensive.
Lu Yu took a deep breath and said, "The last wave of attack of the Japanese army killed the whole guard of our test team. I ran out the last ammunition and even the machine gun bullets. The co-pilot's young man rushed to the Japanese military chariot in the smoke with a bundle of bundled grenades, and I was ready to blow up the car for the first time. At that time, several young men of the logistics team happened to send several test bullets through the Japanese army's artillery blockade line, and almost every shell was stained with sticky blood!"
Lu Yu paused and said, "This new shell is still in the research and development period. The research institute calls it a broken armor bullet. This test only carried 20 rounds to test the degree of broken armor. Now it looks good. I have checked a destroyed Japanese military chariot before, and the hole was not big, but All the members of the Japanese military vehicle team inside were killed by the broken turret lining fragments, and the radio and other equipment in the car were also destroyed. The chariot only looked less damaged on the outside. Two Japanese military chariots were directly blown up, that is, the two on the far left were almost restored to parts. At that time, the degree of explosion was extremely large. It is estimated that It may be my modified Spitfire tank.
Dai Peng looked at the wreckage of the destroyed Japanese army's chariots. In the first attack and defense of Chengde, facing the Japanese army's steel monsters, [***] people could only use their flesh and blood to resist the Japanese army's attack. If it hadn't been fort used Chengde's strong fortifications and a small number of chariot defense. In the case of the imperial cannon, the thin tin can of the Japanese army can also be rampant.
Lu Yu kicked the wreckage of the military chariot with his foot, and the hatch tilted on the side had fallen half. Inside, the dark corpses of the military chariot soldiers were twisted and deformed. Due to the problem of using a gasoline engine, the military chariot had a high probability that once the chariot was hit, it would catch fire. The ammunition in the car had a continuous martyrdom, and the crew of the crew was damaged. The loss is almost 100%, and charred and twisted corpses often give people a strong visual impact, but this is common for tank soldiers.
Lu Yu pointed to the place where the military chariot was hit and said, "The design institute said that this kind of shell has a very good effect on reinforced concrete bunkers, but it is a pity that only the 100mm reed gun on our test vehicle can be fired, and the 100mm smoothbore gun equipped by the standard mounted medium-sized main battle tank. It can't be launched."
Dai Peng showed this ferocious expression on the corners of his mouth and said, "Since the thread-bore gun is so easy to use, as a force, just write a report and let the future models be equipped with a 100mm wire-bore gun."
Lu Yu said helplessly, "Mr. Dai, I'm just a little captain. What's the use of writing a report? Even the interior of the design institute has debated the trade-off between smooth-cham guns and line-muff guns. In fact, the two types of guns have their own advantages and disadvantages. Now the line-muff guns have high requirements for forging barrel materials, and smooth-muff guns have high requirements for shells. Moreover, the armor-piercing shells of smooth-muff guns are expensive, and the warhead cannot be filled with secondary charge inside, so now they are equipped with smooth-muff guns. Most of the iron cavalry medium-sized main battle tanks are ammunition, which are tail stable multi-purpose bullets, and the surname price is relatively high. In my personal actual combat experience, the 100mm line gun has a long shooting distance and high shooting accuracy. The test gunner of the equipment department adopts a fixed condition of 1,000 meters of stable shooting standard targets, which can't be said to be stable. At least the hit rate is more than 80%. The shooting accuracy of 1,000 meters of the smooth-shear gun is only about half of that of the wire. I heard from the technicians of the research institute that it is because we don't have a scientific research team with fluid power, the shape and wind resistance coefficient of the shell have not been optimized to the best, and 1,500 meters have been optimized. It's still not a big problem, and it's hard to say no matter how far away it is. The selection of smoothing gun mainly takes into account the problem of muzzlear velocity. The potential of the muzzlear velocity of the smoothing gun far exceeds that of the smoothing gun. The iron horse's gun does not exceed 800 meters per second. The speed of the smoothing gun firing armor-piercing shells far exceeds that of our test gun, but the cost of the line gun is indeed very high.
Dai Peng touched his injured forehead with some dissatisfaction and said with a little dissatisfaction, "I'm really surprised why the iron bike can be made so short? The old man is still in pain now.
Lu Yu also said helplessly, "Sir, who told you to take off the tank hat when you were uncomfortable? It's very dangerous to take off the tank helmet when fighting and driving. This time you were lucky and didn't hit the protruding object. However, according to the actual use experience, the grass-roots forces also suggest to increase the height of the car and lengthen the body, especially the internal space of the turret, which is too narrow. The 100mm shell is too big and too heavy for a loader. When the iron horse is designed, the ammunition storage box is designed according to the 75mm gun. Fifteen rounds, the water cabinet ammunition box installed in our test vehicle can only carry poor 38 shells. If you encounter a high-intensity battle, like this kind of fixed fire point to provide fire support and attack, the carrying capacity of 38 shells is obviously a little insufficient!"
Under Dai Peng's encouraging eyes, Lu Yu also completely opened the box and continued: "In addition, the tail of the turret of the iron-rid medium-sized main battle tank should also be relatively higher, which can increase the angle of tank shooting, and the shape of the machine gun tower should be relatively improved. The protection of the front of the gun tower should also be slightly strengthened. A few days ago, my 70mm grenade of the ninety-two infantry gun directly blew up the machine gun. Fortunately, there was no one in the machine gun tower at that time. In fact, in actual combat, the role of the machine gun tower in actual combat is very large, which can provide cover for each other and eliminate and use. The terrain is close to the enemy, and basically no one dares to use the outer machine gun of the turret of the jackal light tank in the battle.
Dai Peng nodded and said, "It is said that the tactical use of the Kwantung Army is still remarkable. It is said that I attacked when the firepower is not as good as that of our army. The casualties were so great that they still rushed up in batches without hesitation. The people behind stepped on the body of the man in front of them, and the final attack almost lost the core fortress of Wolf Mountain. Shou, if the weather hadn't become sunny, the air force would have hit the attacking troops of the Japanese army with close-range support, and bombed the other side's heavy large-caliber cannons and supply lines. It's hard to say who will win or lose! The simple fight for casualties is that I am even crazier than us. As Chief Zhang said, I am a group of two-legged beasts. The most effective way to treat beasts is to let them know what the fear of death is.
With the calm of the war, more and more soldiers and surviving citizens came to the breakthrough to visit the steel tomb of the Japanese army. Several surviving technicians also appeared near the breakthrough with equipment and tools one after another, wearing masks and ignoring the strange shapes of the scorched corpses of the Japanese army.
As the garrison commander of Chaoyang Fortress, Dai Peng naturally had no time to talk too much. He also had to clean up the mess of the battlefield. Lu Yu had to cooperate with the surviving technicians to record the real data of the battle between our and the enemy chariots. His work is of great significance, because the destroyed chariots will not lie, so Each bullet hole should be measured, photographed and sampled.
The actual combat battlefield of such a well-preserved tank war is concentrated in less than two square kilometers, which is unique in the history of world war. The preciousness of this kind of actual combat data is unparalleled in natural history, but all the officers, soldiers and technicians who participated in the investigation and sampling have not eaten for a whole year. Some people don't even eat meat all their lives
The battlefield in the east of Chaoyang City was called a steel cemetery by the survivors. This is not only to commemorate the Chaoyang defense battle that reached its peak, but also because the steel chariots of the Kwantung Army failed to finally break through the [***] people's and blood wall here.
