Chapter 1530 Type 97 Automatic Cannon

Chapter 1530 Type [-] Automatic Cannon
Okabe Naozaburo couldn't help being startled when he received the telegram from Otani Yuki, and then realized that he had been hit by the Eighth Route Army's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

However, Naozaburo Okabe breathed a sigh of relief after thinking about it, and he said to Sanji Okido with a face of gratitude: "Fortunately, Yuki Kotani discovered it early. It will take time for the Eighth Route Army to reach Chifeng, and our army will use trains to mobilize troops." Much faster than the Eighth Route Army! Not to mention..."

Naozaburo Okabe smiled when he said this, and said: "If the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army are not covered by fighter planes, they will be hit by Chifeng Aviation at any time. It seems that the Eighth Route Army has not taken this into consideration!"

Oshiroto Sanji replied cautiously: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army has always been shrewd. It is impossible to leave such a big loophole. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army has other arrangements?"

Naozaburo Okabe felt that it was right to be reminded by Sanji Ojodo. The Eighth Route Army, especially Wang Xuexin, had the upper hand after several open and secret battles with him. It is impossible that this time will be an exception.

Thinking about it, Naozaburo Okabe frowned, and said to himself: "What kind of arrangement will it be? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army has an air defense system?"

As soon as Naozaburo Okabe thought about it, he felt that it was impossible, and the air defense system was not suitable for marching operations.

This is not only because the reliability of the air defense system is not high, but also because the bombing of fighter planes is often completed within a few minutes from being discovered to completing the bombing and then flying away. It's hot... Relay and tube computers need to be warmed up for ten minutes to half an hour before working, but transistor computers don't need it.

After much deliberation and thinking about the reason, Okabe Naozaburo simply ordered: "Order the 39th Division, immediately reinforce Chifeng!"

"Yes!"

The 39th Division is the main division of the Devil's 30th Army stationed in Fengtian, code-named "Teng".

This division was a unit that entered the Huaxia War in the early days of the War of Resistance. Zhang Zizhong, a famous general of the War of Resistance, was killed by this devil.

However, this unit also had an oolong on the battlefield... During the Battle of Xiangfan, the 39th Division mistakenly took the sandbar in the center of the river as the opposite bank due to a scout's mistake, and sent a force of more than three hundred The human devils landed in the dark and charged with signal flares. Only after this charge did they realize that there was still a river ahead and they had nowhere to go.

Under the reminder of the signal flare, how could the recalcitrant army be polite to the devils, and greeted the sandbar with guns and cannons. In the end, they easily won a rare and great victory, annihilating more than [-] soldiers including a regiment leader of the devils Devil.

At this time, the 39th Division, as the main division of the 30th Army, was the only division in the 30th Army of the Devils that did not split up and transfer troops to the front line. That is to say, its soldiers are all veterans with rich combat experience. .

Okabe Naozaburo designated and requested that this division be transferred to reinforce Chifeng, which also shows how much Okabe Naozaburo attaches importance to Chifeng.

Then, not long after the order was issued, Sanji Okito hurried back and reported: "Your Excellency, the railway line has been bombed by the Eighth Route Army, including three highway bridges and two tunnels. It may take a few days to open to traffic!"

This seems to be expected by Naozaburo Okabe.

Because it is too difficult to defend against railway lines, especially in the Northeast.

Northeast China is very different from North China in terms of railway lines. Because North China is the main activity area of ​​the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, the railway lines are three steps, one post, five steps, and one post.

The same was true in the Northeast before, but as the anti-union forces and guerrillas have been basically wiped out, the devils' defense of the railway line has been relaxed. In addition, the supply of devils is tense at this time, so the Northeast Railway Line is basically handed over to the puppet army. .

The result of garrisoning the puppet army is that they can basically only defend against the people. As long as the Eighth Route Army guerrillas just fire a few shots outside the gun tower, the puppet army will hide inside and dare not move.

Under such circumstances, can the railway line be kept?
Not to mention the railway line, even the road leading to Chifeng may be blown up.

It's just that it may be later discovered that the road is blown up. Cars don't have radio stations that can report at any time like trains.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a staff officer to report: "Your Excellency, the road leading to Chifeng has been blown up! Engineers are rushing to repair it!"

Bombing roads is more difficult than bombing railways, because there are no tunnels on roads, and only road bridges can be bombed, which is easier to repair.

The problem is... the Eighth Route Army is likely to plant mines on the road.

However, Naozaburo Okabe couldn't care less, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order the 39th Division, no matter what method you use, you must arrive at Chifeng within two days, even if you leave your heavy equipment and go on foot." No hesitation!"

"Yes!"

After the staff went down, Sanji Oshiroto asked: "Your Excellency, if the Eighth Route Army... is equipped with half-track vehicles and chariots, then the 39th Division leaves its heavy equipment and rushes to Chifeng..."

Naozaburo Okabe interrupted Sanji Ojodo: "The 39th Division has anti-tank equipment, and it is suitable to use it to deal with half-track vehicles!"

The 39th Division is indeed equipped with anti-tank equipment, that is, the anti-tank rifle called the Type 97 automatic gun by the devils.

This thing played some role in the Battle of Nomonhan... It can penetrate 300MM steel plates at a distance of 30 meters, while the T26's frontal armor was only 25MM at that time.

Therefore, after the Battle of Nuomenhan, the devils continued to equip the Kwantung Army with the Type 97 automatic gun in order to continue to use it to deal with Maoxiong's tanks on the battlefield.

Who would have thought that the armor of the bear tank would get thicker and thicker, not to mention tanks like the T34, even the front armor of the T26 was modified to 50MM.

As a result, the Type 97 automatic gun has almost become scrap iron, and the devil once wanted to eliminate it... If it is to play a role on the battlefield, it must hit the enemy's side armor or even the rear armor, but this is obviously very difficult.

On the other hand, there is a considerable price to use this 97-type automatic gun. One of its nicknames is the "clavicle smasher", which means that after a few shots, the collarbone will be broken and the shooter will have to go to the hospital.

The reason why the devils still keep it until now is because they really have nothing better to deal with the enemy's armored targets at a long distance.

Now Naozaburo Okabe thinks: It may not be enough to use this 97 automatic cannon to fight tanks, but it should be no problem to fight half-track vehicles, right?
If the target can be penetrated head-on and the engine of the enemy half-track vehicle is in front, does that mean that a single shot can paralyze a half-track vehicle?

This can occupy a considerable advantage on the battlefield, especially in defensive battles!
So, Naozaburo Okabe didn't think much about it, and added an order: "Let the 39th Division bring more Type 97 automatic guns, as well as stabbing mines, and everything they can do against tanks!"
