Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 629 Pressure
There is still a certain pressure on Wang Xuexin to command this tank company.

The reason is that he usually doesn't have much time to train with the soldiers... Although the training plans have been approved by Wang Xuexin and even many of them were drawn up by Wang Xuexin, the plan is one thing, and the training and actual combat are another. .

However, when the soldiers knew that Wang Xuexin personally commanded the battle, they all became energetic one by one.

"Comrades!" The second platoon leader said to the crew members: "This battle is under the personal command of the battalion commander. Fight hard, and don't give up to the battalion commander!"

"Is there any problem with the command of the battalion commander?" The driver replied: "Our battalion commander is the first person to drive a tank!"

"The tank tactics of our entire army were developed by the battalion commander!" The machine gunner continued, "Now I'm only commanding one company, and there are only eight tanks... so why worry?"

"Go!" The second platoon leader said: "It seems that you are not at ease when the company commander commands you. Be careful that this word is not passed on to the company commander!"

The machine gunner laughed a few times in embarrassment: "The company commander... don't worry, but it's still not as good as the battalion commander, isn't it?"

The second platoon leader has no objection to this. When it comes to the battalion commander, not only is the company commander incomparable, but who else in the Eighth Route Army knows tank warfare better than him!

Therefore, in fact, the second platoon leader felt more at ease in his heart.

What they didn't expect was that the battalion commander Wang Xuexin was the most unreliable... He was afraid that he would make some low-level mistakes in command, or cause undue losses. Trust his subordinates unconditionally.

Wang Xuexin walked at the forefront of the troops, just behind the No. 320 car of the second platoon leader.

This is Wang Xuexin's habit of fighting, he is always at the forefront of the team.

In fact, this is also a helpless choice. The Eighth Route Army lacks communication equipment. If the commander is in the rear, he cannot use the walkie-talkie to know the enemy's situation ahead in time like modern warfare. Especially in the dark and commanding tanks with poor external perception capabilities, communication becomes extremely important.

Otherwise, it may happen that the battle is almost over and the commander doesn't know what happened. It would be a strange thing to win the battle like this.

The way Wang Xuexin communicates with the tank is a radio on the back of the two communication soldiers behind him. He can communicate with the platoon leader's command vehicle through the radio.

And the platoon leader's command vehicle can't even be called a "command vehicle", because the other vehicles are not equipped with radio stations, and the tank-infantry-tank communication is not easy to use in the dark, because it is difficult for other tanks to operate in the dark. In time, we can clearly see the signal flag that followed the infantry.

This is also what Wang Xuexin is worried about. The coordination between the three tanks in a row can only rely on the tacit understanding between the tank commanders. Just like playing basketball or football, teammates know what they are going to do when they move, so they give Corresponding cover and support.

While following the tanks, Wang Xuexin seized the time to use the radio to test the contact with the platoon leaders:
"The second row reports the situation!"

"everything is normal!"

"The third row reports the situation!"

"everything is normal!"

……

At this time, the second platoon leader suddenly reported: "Battle Commander, there seems to be a situation ahead!"

Wang Xuexin poked his head out to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a few lights flashing at the corner of the street ahead.

Wang Xuexin guessed that the reinforcements came from the devils from the center of the city, and it was indeed about the same time after calculation.

So he ordered decisively: "Everyone is there, ready to fight!"

The platoon leaders responded, and immediately stopped to load the shells and aimed the muzzles at the corner.

This goal is obvious, because the lights of the three rounds are very dazzling.

Wang Xuexin is a little strange, is the devil desperate?Knowing that the Eighth Route Army tanks have entered the city and yet dare to march with the lights on, isn't this clearly exposing yourself to the enemy's artillery fire?
In fact, the devils were also very embarrassed at this time. Since the city gate was quickly breached by the Eighth Route Army, even Anda 23 didn't know where the Eighth Route Army had advanced.

At this time, Anda 23 has two options:

One is to deploy defenses on the spot, placing anti-tank guns in the center of the city and waiting for enemy tanks to come up.

Although this is also feasible, because anti-tank guns are mainly used to "strike light from the dark" when dealing with enemy tanks, so they hide in the dark and suddenly shoot enemy tanks, which can often reap great results. .

What's more, the Devil's "Type 37 100MM" anti-tank gun still has the problem of insufficient penetration. It can only penetrate 30MM vertical armor at a distance of 26 meters, while the T25's front armor has [-]MM.

In other words, if the slope of the armor is calculated, it is difficult for the "Type 37 100MM" anti-tank to penetrate a light tank like T26 even at a distance of [-] meters.

To put it bluntly, this anti-tank gun is a piece of equipment that has been outdated as soon as it was developed.

The reason why the Devils developed this anti-tank gun was based on the armor data of the Bear Tank during the Battle of Nomonhan... At that time, the armor of the T26 was only 15MM, and a single anti-tank gun could penetrate it at a distance of 500 meters.

Who would have thought that the T26 backhand would increase the armor to 25.

(Note: Devils also have a "type one anti-tank gun", but it is a 47MM caliber and served in 42)
Therefore, this "one-type anti-tank gun" is completely tasteless to the devils, and it is only possible to penetrate at 100 meters. Its degree of danger and difficulty is no less than holding an explosive pack to blow up the target!
Therefore, many troops know that this equipment is available, but they are unwilling to install it... It is not used at all on the battlefield. There is no anti-tank that can face enemy tanks at a distance of 100 meters and survive.

But Anda 23 saw the value of this anti-tank gun when defending Yuncheng.

What if enemy tanks pass through the city gate, and anti-tank is hidden in front of the city gate?Wasn't it a shell for a tank?
This is why Anda 23 needs three anti-tank guns for each city gate: one on the left and one on the left, and one hidden in the middle of the house.

In this way, even if the anti-tank gun has a range of only 100 meters, it is no problem to seal the city gate.

but……

If the tanks of the Eighth Route Army had poured into the city from the city gate, the anti-tank guns would be powerless.

Defense in place?

Does that mean watching the Eighth Route Army tanks occupy most of the city and finally surround the city center?
This obviously won't work!
So Anda 23 took the risk of choosing the second option, and quickly reinforced the South Gate. He wanted to put the anti-tank guns into the battle before the South Gate fell.

Since "speed of fire" is required, this anti-tank gun must of course be towed by a car.

If there is any need for protection, it is to place a few three-wheeled motorcycles in front for reconnaissance.

Wang Xuexin thought of this right away. He saw that the light seemed to be on the side, firstly because it was not so bright, and secondly because it swayed a lot.

So Wang Xuexin ordered: "Don't fire, wait for my order, and let the vanguard go!"
