Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 260 Zhou Weihan drives a tank
Under the siege of the independent detachment, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Handan City were strangled to death.

There are people in the puppet garrison in the city who want to surrender, but in this era, the puppet soldiers who can serve as the garrison in the city are all hardcore little devils, and they usually do bad things. , which is why Zhou Weihan ordered no prisoners to be kept.

Outside the North City Gate.

A soldier ran out of the city in a hurry: "Report, the enemy army in the city has been wiped out, all important places have been occupied by our army, and two tanks and four armored vehicles of the Japanese army have been captured!"

"It's really unexpected, it's only been 54 minutes since the siege!" Zhao Gang said with a smile
"What, captured the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles? Are they intact?" Then Zhao Gangteng stood up.

"Yes, it's intact. Company Commander Dong of the reconnaissance company is fiddling with it!"

"Old Xing, you stay and organize the county brigade, district squad and militia to go into the city to change their uniforms, and at the same time contact the brother troops of the New Ninth Brigade and tell them that we are going to send people north!" Zhou Weihan said.

Xing Zhiguo nodded in response.

Afterwards, Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang hurried into the city.

Walking along the central street for about ten minutes, I saw a group of people in the middle of the road, and the roof was full of people, most of them were commando soldiers

"Give way, the detachment leader and political commissar are here!" A soldier on the roof shouted.

The crowd quickly evacuated a passage, Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang walked into the crowd.

Zhou Weihan looked around and said, "Excuse me!"

I saw a Type [-] light tank moving along the street. The reason why it was said to be moving was probably because the commander inside was not familiar with the situation of the tank.

The front and back of the tank body were covered with people, and many soldiers were holding the turret and the machine guns on the body tightly.

Soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have seen the little devil's tank before, but no one has ever ridden it, let alone driven it.

Whether Zhou Weihan was in his previous life or now, it was the first time that he got so close to the tank. May I ask which big man can resist such a temptation.

"You have nothing to do, let's do something. After a while, the little devil's plane will come, and an aerial bomb will kill you all!" Zhou Weihan shouted.

"Where's Dong Jiang!"

"Our company commander is in the car!" said a soldier of the reconnaissance company.

A soldier on the vehicle hurriedly patted the turret armor, and slapped the turret armor loudly: "Company commander, company commander!"

With a bang, the hatch of the tank opened, and Dong Jiang's head was exposed.

Dong Jiang was having a good time, but was interrupted at this time, and directly cursed, "Damn, what's the matter with you?"

"The company commander, the detachment leader and the political commissar are here!" The soldier pointed in the direction of Zhou Weihan and the two with an aggrieved face.

"Oh, detachment leader, political commissar!" Dong Jiang smiled awkwardly, and quickly jumped off the tank.

"Dong Jiang, you are really talented, and now you dare to curse in front of us!" Zhao Gang said in reprimand.

"I think so too, they have learned to drive tanks!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"How can it be? It's the first time I have come into contact with the little devil's tank. I have driven a truck before, and I want to try the difference of the tank?" Dong Jiang replied.

"Then tell me what's different?"

"Hey, Captain, it's nothing difficult, you can open it with your hands!"

Zhou Weihan walked up to the tank and drove all the soldiers off the tank.

"Go, go, go, don't get in the way!"

Zhou Weihan thought in his heart, a group of people are also bold, Dong Jiang is a novice, you are quite happy to stay on the tank one by one.

The soldiers on the tank dispersed, Zhou Weihan climbed into the tank, his intention was very clear, and he wanted to have a good time.

Just about to get in through the hatch, Dong Jiang shouted: "Detachment Captain!"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Weihan turned around and asked.

"fine!"

"Old Zhou!" Zhao Gang shouted.

Looking at Zhao Gang's eyes full of hope, how could Zhou Weihan not understand what was going on, he just wanted to try for nothing, but as a political commissar, it was a little inappropriate in front of so many soldiers.

"Old Zhao, you also want to drive a tank?"

"I want to tell you to pay attention to safety! Be sure to pay attention to safety!" Zhao Gang said through gritted teeth.

"Old Zhao, watch the meeting first, I'll enjoy it first!" Zhou Weihan slipped in without saying a word.

As soon as he entered the carriage, he found that there was an elderly devil sitting inside.

This old devil was very polite, bowing to Zhou Weihan non-stop when he came up.

After some communication, I found out that this person was named Daiichiro Tabata.

This person also served in the Fourth Tank Regiment of the Japanese Army. He participated in the Battle of Nuomenkan a year ago, and somehow came to the border of Handan a year later, and became a maintenance soldier in the tank unit of the 104th Brigade.

The one Zhou Weihan was sitting on was the Type [-] light tank of the Japanese army. Before that, the Japanese army had a Type [-] ultra-light tank, the Douding Chariot. After that, they also developed a Type [-] medium tank. It is said to be a medium tank, but compared with the tanks of the United States and the Soviet Union, it can only be regarded as a light tank.

Later generations of the Internet have always said that the Japanese tanks are small, but that is only the difference in size compared with the Soviet-made T-34 or the American-made Sherman.

The body length is 4.3 meters, the width is 2.07 meters, the height is 2.28 meters, the total combat weight is 7.4 tons, and the body weight is 6.7 tons. The crew is composed of three people, divided into the commander, gunner and machine gunner.

Zhou Weihan is nearly [-] meters tall, so he can move around easily in the carriage.

The main weapon is a 98-type 37mm artillery, and the auxiliary weapons are 2 Czech-made 97-type 7.7mm heavy machine guns with a 1.5x scope, one of which is a front machine gun and the other is a turret rear machine gun. A total of 1 rounds of ammunition were carried.The front machine gun is operated by the machine gunner, and the rear machine gun of the turret is operated by the commander.

The armor protection is 6~12 mm, the wading depth is 1 meter, and the trench width is 2 meters.

The power system is equipped with an in-line 6-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine, with an off-road speed of 26 kilometers per hour and a normal road speed of 48 kilometers per hour.

Zhou Weihan sat in the driver's seat. In front of the driver's seat was a viewing hole, which was a narrow slit. In addition, there was a periscope.

"Sir, this is the joystick, which controls the wheels on both sides, and then drives the track to make the tank perform forward and backward, turning and other actions!" Daiichiro Tabata introduced carefully.

After a detailed introduction, Zhou Weihan had a little understanding.

Zhou Weihan rubbed his hands on his trousers, then put his hands together and rubbed repeatedly, as if he had learned to drive in a driving school in his previous life.

Zhou Weihan pushed the two joysticks forward to the first gear.

The tank visibly moved, then began to move forward.

The soldiers around watched the tank move under Zhou Weihan's operation, and cheered.

Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, the left track of the tank obviously overwhelmed something, causing Zhou Weihan to tilt his body, and touched the left joystick to the second gear.

The tank began to turn to the left, and the surrounding soldiers watched helplessly as the tank crashed into the houses on the side of Central Street.

Fortunately, Daiichiro Tabata reacted quickly enough, but the tank was also buried under the bricks and tiles.

Before Zhou Weihan opened the tank, he dispersed the surrounding people, so no casualties were caused.

"Old Zhou!" Zhao Gang turned pale with fright.

"What are you doing in a daze, save someone!"

"Yes, save people!" Dong Jiang shouted.

The soldiers of the commando rushed up and hurriedly cleared away the bricks and tiles buried on the tank door.
