Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 501 Inverted Triangle Formation

Although the Eighth Route Army had won a decisive victory and made the devils flee in embarrassment, Gangzi still did not relax his vigilance.

The reason is that Gangzi saw that the formation of the Devils' tanks was defeated but not chaotic... The Devils probably have 17 tanks left, of which only 5 are Type 97s, and the rest are Type 95s.

The reason is that T34 only chooses Type 97 to fight... This thing is a threat to T34, of course it should be killed first. As for Type 95, it basically has no threat to T34, so it is put aside for the time being.

The devils seemed to feel this too, so they used Type 95 to provide cover for Type 97 when escaping.

It sounds weird, but it can also provide cover for friendly forces when fleeing.

But in fact, this is a helpless choice.

Because the devils clearly realize that the Type 97 is their only hope for survival. Only the tank guns of the Type 97 can still penetrate the armor of enemy tanks, but the Type 95 is impossible.

Therefore, when the speed of the two chariots is not as good as that of the enemy tanks, there is only one way to survive, which is to protect the 97 Zhongzhan and give it a chance to attack the enemy, so that at least it can give the chasing enemy a little restraint.

Otherwise, the enemy will chase and kill the 97 Qingzhan without any scruples after finishing the 95-style. It may only take a few minutes, and the seemingly huge number of 95 Qingzhan will be wiped out.

The No. 7 vehicle chasing at the front was in a hurry. It stopped to take aim after entering a distance of 200 meters. A grenade blasted a Type 95 into the sky...It is often better to use grenades to deal with Type 95 tanks. The problem of whether to wear it or not, sometimes even if it misses, the flying shrapnel can penetrate its 6MM armor. Although the shrapnel is difficult to injure the tank crew, there is still a certain probability that the tank will malfunction.

Just as the No. 7 car was moving forward again, it suddenly found a burst of flames and turned out a Type 97...

鬼子这种配合堪称完美，他们用95式遮挡T34的射角使T34只能攻击95式，而当95式被炸毁时就意味着T34炮膛里没有炮弹，97式却已经做好了准备等着机会。

Therefore, when the Type 97 turned out suddenly, the T34 was almost unavoidable and had to fight hard.

The members of the T34 crew hurriedly reloaded and adjusted the artillery firing angle to aim at the enemy as quickly as possible, but it seemed that it was too late. The Type 97 took the lead, and its black muzzle was already aimed at the T34 body...

200 meters, if this gun hits, it is likely to be the first tank destroyed by the devils.

At this critical moment, there was a sound of "expansion", and a T34 crossed obliquely and slammed the Type 97 aside heavily.

Almost at the same time, a flame was ejected from the muzzle of the Type 97 and a shell was shot. The shell flew close to the armor of the T34 and scratched a shocking dent on the side armor. The sound of the percussion made him dizzy.

They were lucky. If it wasn't for the sudden T34 that knocked the Type 97 off the side, the No. 7 car would be blown into a ball of meat by an armor-piercing explosive shell inside the tank.

Gangzi, who had been watching the battle, was taken aback by this scene. The Devil is exchanging Type 95 for T34, which is not a deal.

Taking a closer look, the T34 that crashed into it in time was the No. 0 car, that is, Androvich's car.

Androvich has been commanding the tanks to intersperse among the devil tanks.

He is very experienced in this, and knows that when T34 is facing the Devil's Type 97, it must either be farther away or closer... Both of these situations are relatively safe.

Farther away, Type 97's armored shells cannot penetrate T34's armor.

Further, the T34 has a speed advantage, and its high maneuverability coupled with a large angle at close range has exceeded the rotation and reaction speed of the Devil's turret.

The most dangerous distance is about 200 meters. At this time, the Devil’s armor-piercing projectile can penetrate the T34, and the T34’s maneuvering angle is not large.

At that time, Androvich did not see the friendly troops, his observation port was facing the Devil's Type 97... The tank's ability to perceive the outside world was poor, and the field of vision was limited to the front of the observation port.

Androvich guessed that it was aiming at a friendly tank through the actions of the Type 97... The turret was always facing backwards, and after the Type 95 was destroyed, it suddenly turned out of the parking lot, and then adjusted the turret to aim at the target.

Androvich immediately realized that the friendly car might not be able to escape the shot, so he decisively ordered loudly: "Straight ahead, full speed! Hit it!"

His order saved car No. 7 at the last moment.

Androvich and the others were also smashed to pieces. Although the car crash is of high quality and cost-effective, the Type 97 is almost half the weight of the T34. The instantaneous impact made Androvich and the others hit their heads. The broken blood flowed miserably and hummed again and again.

However, the Devil Type 97 was even worse. Not to mention the severe deformation of its side armor, the track was broken under the violent impact, and a road wheel was knocked to the ground.

The tank crew inside couldn't see what was going on, but seeing that it didn't respond for a long time, it was conceivable that it would not be any better.

Enduring the pain, Androvich ordered the car to be reversed, and then a shell at close range blew it into burning scrap steel.

When Androvich continued to drive around in the tank, Gangzi was embarrassed.

The situation just now was unavoidable during the pursuit. The Japanese had a Type 97 behind every Type 95, and if this Type 95 was destroyed, another Type 95 would replace it.

If this continues, it will become difficult and dangerous for the T34 to pursue the enemy.

Gangzi can't count on Androvich to resolve it every time.

How to solve it?

Gangzi thought for a while, and then ordered: "Everyone is there, pursue in an inverted triangle formation, and the second row should keep a distance of 300 meters from the enemy!"

This refers to the "inverted triangle formation", which is actually two wings outflanking, with the first and third rows on both sides, and the second row at the center and rear.

This is indeed a good solution.

Because for the enemy fleeing in front, it is difficult to give full play to the speed advantage when chasing directly behind and maintaining a distance of 300 meters... If you are fast, you will enter the enemy's range, and if you are slow, you will not be able to keep up. It's no use going any faster.

But if it is outflanking from the two wings, it will be different. The T34 can overtake from the flank with full throttle, as long as the distance between the flank and the enemy is 300 meters, there will be no problem.

Once it exceeds a certain distance, it can stop and aim, and at this time, it is difficult for the Type 95 to even provide cover for the Type 97, unless each Type 97 is blocked by three Type 95s.

As a result, the nine T9s were immediately divided into three groups in platoons, surrounded by more than a dozen tanks of the Devils in the left, rear, and right directions, and there was an Androvich tank in the middle that kept making trouble. It didn't take long for the Type 34 to be destroyed one by one.

In the end, there was only one Type 97 and five Type 95 left. Perhaps they found that they could not escape no matter how hard they fought, so they had to stop and open the hatch to surrender.
