Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1456 Trap
After the war, Wang Xuexin analyzed that the reason why the "tiger style" appeared in Duolun County was probably related to the change of the devil's strategic policy. In fact, it was because of Wang Xuexin in the final analysis.

Historically, the Devils did have the willingness to buy the "Tiger", but they still paid a lot of money...the unit price was 64.5 Reichsmarks, while the actual price of the "Tiger" was only 30 Reichsmarks.

Many people on the Internet think that this is Hans taking this opportunity to beat the devil, but this is not the case.

The reason is that the "Tiger Type" that Hans sold to the devils has added many technologies that the devils urgently need, including the key technology of the engine. In addition, the "Tiger Type" needs to be disassembled, packed and transported by submarine. The logistics personnel went to the devils with the submarine to assemble, maintain and teach the devils how to use it.

Not to mention other things, it is worth the price just to let a submarine and the entire crew risk their lives for transportation.

Therefore, the reasonable price of 64.5 Reichsmarks can even be said to be a half-sale, half-gift. If it weren't for the fact that the Devil was his ally, Hans would not have taken such a big risk to earn this little money.

However, the deal ultimately fell through.

The reason is that the trading time between Devil and Hans was too late: it was only in 43 that Devil learned about "Tiger" and negotiated the import. In February 44, he decided to place an order, and Hans planned to deliver it in December of that year...

But at this time, Mao Xiong had already counterattacked into Hans's homeland, Ying Jiang and Sun Buset had also landed in Normandy, Hans himself was about to perish, how could he deliver the goods on time!

So it was no surprise that the two "Tigers" paid for by the devil were sent to the battlefield by Hans in the name of "lease".

What makes people strange is: "Tiger" was in service in 42, and the devils who have been in a backward state should be introduced immediately. Why didn't they start paying attention until 43?
This is actually related to the needs of devils...

The devil's main battlefield is China, and China has never had many tanks or anti-tank equipment, so the devil's backward tanks can kill all directions in China.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the devils immediately realized the insufficiency of their own tanks in the face of Yingjiang's attack.

To be precise, the devils are eager to introduce the "Tiger" not because of the Pacific War, because the devils know that tanks are basically useless on the Pacific islands... Yingjiang always used naval guns to bombard the island several times before the war. Tanks placed on the island will also be blasted into parts.

It was the Huaxia Expeditionary Force that really made the Devils decide to introduce the "Tiger Style".

The Huaxia Expeditionary Army launched a fierce attack on the devils from Asanna in March 43. The expeditionary army was equipped with a full set of eagle sauce equipment. At the beginning, they used the M3 Xia Fei light tank, and soon changed to "Sherman". The devil has no power to fight back.

This forced the devil to make up his mind to buy and imitate the "Tiger", so it was only then that he approached Hans.

The situation is different with Wang Xuexin around...

Because Wang Xuexin's Eighth Route Army introduced the "Sherman" tank to China in advance, this made the devils feel the feeling of the tank's performance being crushed in advance, so there was an urgency to introduce Hantank technology.

This directly led to Devils negotiating with Hans last year and quickly reaching a deal.

At the same time, Hans's war situation was not so urgent that the country was about to die, so he immediately delivered the goods according to the agreement, and delivered two cars in one go.

These two "Tigers" were transported to Fengtian... This is because it is very troublesome to transport tanks by sea, and the "Tigers" imported by the devils are aimed at the "Sherman" of the Eighth Route Army. Where to go.

Together with the "Tiger", technicians and R&D personnel from Tokyo were also sent to Fengtian. They were responsible for imitating the "Tiger". This is one of the reasons why the "Tiger" was sent to Fengtian. There is only the Fengtian Ordnance Factory left behind by the Northeast Army, which is known as the largest arsenal in China, and the "South Manchurian Army Arsenal" built by the devils near it, which is known as its largest overseas arsenal.

(Note: Both of these arsenals are located in Fengtian Dadong District, the former is on Chang'an Road and the latter is on Labor Road)
Among them, the Fengtian Ordnance Factory is mainly used to produce light equipment and ammunition, while the "Nanman Army Arsenal" is used to produce heavy equipment such as aircraft, tanks, and armored vehicles.

After the Japanese researchers tested and researched the two "Tigers", they imitated them at the "Nanman Army Arsenal".The imitation engine is the most difficult and difficult to achieve in the short term, so it can only continue to import from Hans.

When the Eighth Route Army attacked Duolun County, the devils already had ten "Tigers".

Naozaburo Okabe regarded these "Tiger Types" as a secret weapon against the Eighth Route Army. Considering that the "Tiger Types" that had just been successfully copied had a high failure rate and a slow speed, Okabe Naozaburo shipped all ten "Tiger Types" Go to the Doron County train station and assemble it.

The reason for the "assembly" is that the "Tiger Type" imitated by the Devils cannot avoid the defects of the original "Tiger Type". Tracks, in addition, the outermost road wheels and side skirts need to be removed, and after arriving at the destination, the tracks are replaced and the road wheels are installed... It is said that this task will take a long time for skilled tank crew members time.

Okabe deployed the ten "Tiger" tanks in the train station originally to ambush the Eighth Route Army's "Sherman" tanks.

Okabe thought this way: there is a fence at the train station, and it is early dawn during the battle. The best way for the Eighth Route Army to attack is to use chariots to smash through the fence to cover the infantry rushing in!Then it's time for the "Tiger Style" to play a role!

Sitting at the train station and commanding the operations is Fukada Yota, the captain of the Fifth Tank Squadron of the First Brigade of Devil Tanks. Although he is only a squadron leader, his rank has reached the level of a major commander. "Tiger" requires a commander with rich combat experience.

Shao Zuo Fukada was an excellent tank squadron leader during the Battle of Nomonhan. He once commanded five Type 95 tanks and destroyed six T26 tanks.

Fukada Shaozuo has been observing the movement of the Eighth Route Army from the beginning to the end. Just when he thought that the Eighth Route Army was about to step into the trap of the train station, he suddenly found that the Eighth Route Army had signs of retreating.

"Asshole!" Shao Zuo Fukada scolded, he thought that someone had shown his feet and made the Eighth Route Army suspicious.

However, Shao Zuo Fukada didn't have time to investigate, so he immediately ordered: "The whole army goes out! We must delay the Eighth Route Army and wait for the main force to arrive!"

"Yes!"

The devil responded, and immediately launched a chariot to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army.

However, only eight of the ten "Tigers" were started. One engine failed to start, and the other had a problem with the track system, and one side would not move.
