Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1457 New Type of Fighter
The reason why Zhao Gang knew that the tank in front of him was a "Tiger" was because he had seen a sketch of this tank when he went to the headquarters to discuss the international situation.

He knew that this was a heavy tank from Hans, and that the "Sherman" was probably not its opponent, so he immediately shouted at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, retreat!"

In fact, Zhao Gang didn’t need to call Li Yunlong to know how to do it. Although he didn’t know that the tank was a “Tiger” and he didn’t know how powerful it was, he immediately realized that this tank was not good when he saw the size and thickness of a tank gun. provoke.

Li Yunlong did not order the "Sherman" to retreat, but ordered: "Organize the blasting team!"

Don't look at Li Yunlong's usual smacking, he is still very good at directing on the spot.

Because it is too late to order the "Sherman" tank to retreat at this time, the distance between the enemy and us is less than a hundred meters, and the nearest two tanks are even only tens of meters away, and there are still houses everywhere on both sides of the street, "Sherman Man" how to retreat?

Besides, when the "Sherman" turned around, didn't it expose the weak rear in front of the "Tiger"?

But there seems to be no difference. In front of the "Tiger" 88MM tank gun and at such a short distance, the front and back are the same penetration...

Just like what was happening on the battlefield, the "Tiger" tank opened fire with a "boom".

In fact, the tanks of both the enemy and the enemy opened fire.

The tank members of the Eighth Route Army were not slow to react. When they found that the enemy tank appeared, they adjusted the muzzle and fired at the target without waiting for an order.

But from the visual point of view, only the "Tiger" is firing... The M3 cannon armor penetration ability of the early "Sherman" is not enough to pose a threat to the "Tiger" frontal, although the target is within 100 meters.

The "Tiger" 88MM caliber artillery penetrates the "Sherman" without any problem at all, and the "Sherman" is still a gasoline engine... After a crisp sound of "clang", the "Sherman" ignites fire.

Three "Shermans" were destroyed in just one face-to-face first echelon, and none of the tank crew could escape.

Li Yunlong saw that the "Sherman" in the rear continued to move forward, and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat, get the fucking tanks down! Demolition team, get on me!"

The blasting team that had just been organized shouted and rushed up in several directions under the fire cover of their comrades.

At the same time, several rockets sent out a scream and flew towards the "Tiger", but they either missed or had no effect on it... The front armor of the "Tiger" reached an astonishing 102MM, and the thickest part of the gun mantlet even reached 150MM. Far beyond the armor-piercing capability of the rocket launcher.

During World War II, there were really "Tiger Types" that were killed by rocket launchers and killed from the front, but it happened to hit the observation window of the "Tiger Type" and penetrated it.

If you want to hit the observation window of the "Tiger" with the accuracy of a bazooka, the probability is about the same as winning the lottery.

However, these rockets still played a role, because the devil commander, Shao Zuo Fukada, was not calm.

If it was other tanks such as Type 97, Type 95, or a Type [-] tank, Major Fukada would order an attack without hesitation.

Isn't that what chariots do?They should be opened in the front to block bullets and shells to cover the infantry behind!
As for them being destroyed by the enemy...is there anyone who doesn't take risks on the battlefield?

But the "Tiger Type" is different. This guy's cars are full of treasures. Shao Zuo Fukada is worried that they will be blown up by the Eighth Route Army during the charge, especially the bazooka is still a weapon against tanks. Whether he can stand it, he is a little timid when fighting.

"Chariots shoot on the spot!" Major Fukada ordered, and then turned his head to Commander Kawahara, who was cooperating with him in the battle, and said: "Infantry step forward to cover!"

"Yes!"

Squads of devil infantry rushed out from the train station to block the "Tiger" in an attempt to intercept the Eighth Route Army's blasting team.

In this way, the devils will not have much advantage... The devils have a [-] cover in their hands, while the Eighth Route Army is equipped with a bursting rifle. The "Tiger" tank can only function as a fort at best, and its machine guns Because one's own infantry is blocked and cannot shoot.

Li Yunlong hit the right shot.

After the war, Zhao Gang asked him why he would have thought of such a solution in such an emergency. Li Yunlong didn't answer and asked instead: "Old Zhao, have you ever played chess?"

"Of course I played!" Zhao Gang asked suspiciously, "What does this have to do with fighting?"

"Of course it has something to do with it!" Li Yunlong raised his chin triumphantly: "The king eats the chariot, the chariot eats the pawn, and the pawn comes back to eat the king, right?"

Zhao Gang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly.

He thought that Li Yunlong made such a fortune because of his understanding of the principles of mechanized army warfare. Who would have thought that Li Yunlong would regard the "Tiger" as the king and the "Sherman" as the car, and now the "Sherman" can't beat it "Tiger Style", of course you have to send pawns!
But let alone, this trick really worked in actual combat.

The "Sherman" tank successfully separated from the "Tiger" and withdrew from Duolun County, although four more tanks were shot by the "Tiger" during the U-turn and retreat.

The Independent Regiment had a total of 20 "Shermans", 7 of which were lost to the "Tiger" attack, and 13 remained.

It was precisely these 13 "Shermans" that played a vital role in the next breakout operation of the Independent Regiment.

Otherwise, if they swarmed up and fought with the "Tiger" or were chased by the "Tiger" all the way... No matter what the situation is, the whole army will be wiped out.

If the entire "Sherman" army is wiped out, the independent regiment with only artillery and half-track vehicles will not be able to escape the encirclement of the Devil's First Tank Brigade...the Devil's First Tank Brigade has hundreds of tanks and Armored vehicles, including more than 97 Type [-] vehicles and more than ten Type I tanks.

Seeing "Sherman" disappear at the corner of the street, Li Yunlong shouted several orders:

"smoke bomb!"

"retreat!"

"Blow up the house!"

The "smoke bomb" is to slow down the advancing speed of the Devil tanks... Major Fukada is also worried about the loss of the "Tiger", and he can only let the infantry go forward to ensure the safety of the front before he dares to let the "Tiger" enter the smoke area. Otherwise, it would not be very good for the Eighth Route Army to hide in the dark and shoot rocket launchers at the "Tiger" from the side and rear.

"Retreat" is inevitable. Although Li Yunlong is not reconciled, continuing to fight will only increase casualties.

The purpose of "blowing up houses" is to add some roadblocks on the street to slow down the pursuit of devils.

Li Yunlong's series of fast and correct commands almost perfectly pulled the independent regiment out of the danger of annihilation.

Wang Xuexin immediately dispatched fighter planes to provide cover for the troops, but the report he received was: "Regimental Commander, a new type of fighter plane has been found!"
