Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 973 Directional Lightning

The reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to hold the line of defense was mainly due to two types of equipment: one was directional mines, and the other was rocket launchers.

This is also thanks to Wang Xuexin's foresight before the war. When he was preparing, he specially transferred a large number of directional mines and rocket launchers from the Sanjiadian Arsenal to equip the 208th Regiment of the Defense Force, and asked Tang Liangjun to organize troops to learn about directional mines and rocket launchers immediately.

Tang Liangjun was also puzzled by this.

"Battalion Commander Wang!" Tang Liangjun said, "Our regiment is also equipped with these two things, and we know how to use them!"

The 208th Regiment is the main force, and any new equipment will definitely be indispensable, so Tang Liangjun thinks that Wang Xuexin is worrying too much, or treats the 208th Regiment as an independent regiment.

"Do you really know?" Wang Xuexin asked back.

"What do you mean?" Tang Liangjun asked.

"Let's put it this way!" Wang Xuexin threw away the document in his hand, and said to Tang Liangjun seriously: "I think you mainly use directional mines to deal with enemy infantry, and bazookas are used to deal with enemy tanks, right?"

"Isn't that so?" Tang Liangjun was confused.

If it wasn't for knowing that Wang Xuexin was the inventor of these equipments, Tang Liangjun would have thought that Wang Xuexin was scaremongering!
"That's true!" Wang Xuexin said, "But this time it's different!"

As he said that, Wang Xuexin used the chalk tip on the corner of the table to form a formation, and said while posing: "The devils are fighting a 'blitzkrieg' this time, I guess they will fight a coordinated battle with infantry and tanks under the cover of aviation firepower. Under such circumstances, can the directional mine hit the infantry hiding behind the tank? The enemy tank is covered by infantry, and our army's rockets only have a range of tens of meters, can they threaten the enemy tank?"

Hearing this, Tang Liangjun's expression became serious, but then he asked suspiciously: "Battle Commander Wang, since this is the case, why did you transfer so many directional mines and bazookas from three stores?"

Wang Xuexin transferred a total of 208 directional mines from three stores, and the [-] regiment can get more than a dozen mines per person on average.

There are more than 100 rocket launchers, each with 208 rounds of ammunition, plus the [-] regiment originally equipped with [-] rocket launchers, which is three times the amount of rocket launchers in other troops.

Wang Xuexin said: "I think we should do the opposite this time, using bazookas to hit infantry, and using directional mines to blow up tanks!"

"This..." Tang Liangjun couldn't understand it even more. It is understandable for the bazooka to hit the infantry, and it is understandable to use the directional mine to blow up the tank... Although it is a devil's bean chariot, the famous thin armor, but the front is also 12MM thick.

Wang Xuexin saw through Tang Liangjun's thoughts and explained before he asked: "Although the rocket launcher has a range of only tens of meters, it is under the condition of emphasizing accuracy. If you don't emphasize accuracy and use steel ball anti-infantry rockets to hit tanks The infantry...can have a range of more than 100 meters?"

In fact, the word "range" cannot be used here, because the range itself is the flight distance under the premise of ensuring accuracy.

Wang Xuexin just didn't pay much attention to discussing with Tang Liangjun.

Tang Liangjun nodded, and replied: "This is no problem, but using directional mines to blow up tanks..."

"The devil is using a Type 95 tank!" Wang Xuexin said: "The bottom armor is very weak, only 6mm at most. Can the directional mine be blown through?"

Tang Liangjun's eyes lit up involuntarily.

A [-]mm steel plate is nothing more than a layer of iron, and even machine gun bullets can penetrate it. If the steel ball of the directional mine is shot under the force of explosives at close range, it might really be able to penetrate it!
Wang Xuexin added: "Another advantage of the directional mine is that it is not easy to be crushed when it is run over by a tank. If it is detonated when the tank is run over, can it break the enemy's tracks?"

Tang Liangjun couldn't help nodding his head when he heard the words.

The directional mine does have this advantage, because it is full of dense steel balls on the side facing the enemy, and the explosives and fuze are behind the curved steel plate. When the tank track is pressed... it will probably not be crushed due to its own solidity, but will be trapped. Into the loess.

This is different from other explosives. When other explosives are crushed by the track, it is difficult to detonate successfully.

Finally, Wang Xuexin came to a conclusion: "If this is the way to fight, you should use the time when the enemy has not arrived to practice?"

"Yes!" Tang Liangjun replied without thinking, "I'll organize training for the troops right away!"

As a result, the 208th regiment held a rehearsal temporarily.

What I practiced was to change the roles of these two pieces of equipment, using the bazooka that was originally used to attack tanks to attack infantry, and the directional mines that were used to attack infantry to blow up tanks.

But of course, this is because Wang Xuexin knows that the devil's tank is a 95 light tank, so this tactic can be used. If it is another tank, as long as the bottom steel plate is a little thicker, it may not be used.

As a result, the actual combat situation was much better than expected.

Because the devil's attack is actually not just tanks covering the infantry's charge, they use the method of tanks plus three rounds plus infantry to attack.

This method of attack is also the favorite of Hans' troops.

It is mainly used when it is required to quickly tear apart the enemy's line of defense and hit the enemy by surprise.

Because of the tank's three-round attack method, the tank does not need to slow down and wait for the infantry to follow up. It can advance towards the enemy's defense line at full speed.

At the same time, the tank is not without infantry cover... the infantry on the side three wheels can provide cover for the tank, and the firepower is not weak, because the infantry on the sidecar can set up a machine gun.

When necessary, the infantry on the side three rounds can also get out of the vehicle and walk to provide cover for the tank.

After this, the infantry followed closely behind and became the main force of the attack.

Hans used this tactic time and again on the battlefield, often before the enemy reacted from the bombing, the tank and the three rounds would have already rushed to the front of the defense line.

To be precise, there are half-track vehicles full of infantry...

It has to be said that this tactic is very advanced, because the combat of modern armored forces is actually to use armored infantry fighting vehicles to follow up with infantry, and the infantry is ready to get off the vehicle at any time to provide cover for the tanks.

This tactic of Hans is quite close to modern infantry and tank coordination.

Kono Shinta used this tactic.

It's just that this time the devils were deflated, because the Eighth Route Army happened to use directional mines to blow up tanks...

The tank can indeed be blown through, because the penetrating power of the directional Rayna steel ball is quite amazing at close range (the shape of the steel ball consumes a lot of kinetic energy when flying in the air, and is greatly affected by the distance).

But the devils used the tactic of tanks and three rounds on the side, and bombing the tanks became the second best, and the more important thing was the three rounds on the side.

Compared with the tank, the three wheels over there are like paper. When the directional mine explodes below, the steel balls "swish" and radiate from bottom to top, forming a large area.

Especially from the bottom up, the steel balls will go to the devil's weak points, such as the crotch, armpit, chin...
