Chapter 1494 The First Tank Battle in History

In the nearly five-kilometer-wide valley, the roar of the engine and the sound of the tracks intersected, and this armored unit was driving on the road like this with flying dust.

Perhaps because of their self-confidence, they didn't even send out sharp soldiers, and just rushed over like this.

As the distance between the US tank troops got closer, Zhao Jie's brows were furrowed.

He found that the marching column of US tanks was much longer than he had imagined. The distance between the front and rear of those tanks was at least ten meters, while the two leading tanks kept a distance of almost 200 meters from the rear. The distance, that is, the column of the US military was almost a kilometer long.

If it is a plain, such a column is not a big deal, but in the mountains, the problem arises, the vehicle in front appears, and the latter does not know where it is.

Facing this formation, Zhao Jie and his comrades who were hiding in the bushes frowned.

Where should we start now?

Beheading, belly beating, or tail docking?

While hesitating, U.S. tanks passed by one after another. When the leading U.S. tank approached the end of their ambush position, there were still five tanks and cars that hadn't passed by the other side. Appeared at one end.

"Captain?"

Hearing the driver's shout, Zhao Jie's brows were furrowed.

If they attack the middle section of the U.S. column according to the original plan, they are likely to be attacked by U.S. tanks from both ends.Such a result is absolutely disastrous. In front of the artillery, the armor on the side of the tank is absolutely vulnerable!
"Damn it, if only the tanks had radios!"

Although aware of this problem, what's more terrible is that the battle plan has been deployed, and now... even if they use light signals to contact them, they still can't get in touch.

"That's the only way to do it!"

Zhao Jie, who decided to make an early move, could only secretly pray that the U.S. military would not react too quickly after being suddenly attacked, otherwise they would have to fight a head-to-head hard battle.

After making a decision in his heart, he lowered his head and said to his driver:

"I'll aim at the first car, and after a while, you will rush to the front team at full speed! Do you understand?"

"Captain, our original plan..."

"A plan is a plan, this is the only way to do it now!"

Saying so, Zhao Jie pulled out a 37mm armor-piercing bullet, and after loading it into the barrel, he prayed.

"It must be hit."

Then he leaned on the gunner's scope and began to aim precisely.

The Type 37 tank turret has only one crew member. The commander is not only the commander, but also the gunner, and the loader. When the turret is rotated, the turret moves with the target under the slight metal friction sound from the turret seat ring. Turning slowly, the small [-]mm gun pointed at the target, pressing the American tank on the crosshair of the scope.

Zhao Jie pursed his lower lip nervously, and then shouted loudly:

"launch!"

The moment the voice sounded, he pulled the firing lever of the cannon with his right hand, and the roar of the cannon immediately came from his ears.The bright muzzle flame immediately tore through the darkness of the forest, while the shock wave from the muzzle blew away the hidden branches and grass in front of the tank.The activated tank rushed out with a "boom".

At the same time, there was a crisp ringing like a bell in the valley.A puff of black smoke suddenly rose from the leading US tank.

"Hit!"

The front machine gunner shouted excitedly, but Zhao Jie had no time to celebrate now, he shouted eagerly to the driver:
"Target Car No. 2, Car No. 2..."

While yelling, he stood up and yelled at the tank company that hadn't reacted yet.

"All crews, leave here immediately and attack at full speed. Each vehicle chooses its own target and shoots freely. Pay attention to the formation... attack the vehicle in front, attack the vehicle in front..."

Although there was no radio station, Zhao Jie's shout spread, and the tank commanders realized the change in tactics from the attack target chosen by the company commander.Amidst the harsh sound of engine starting, the tank group drove towards the front of the convoy that was fueling and smoking.

When the four tanks rushed forward without hesitation, Zhao Jie raised his right hand with a long sigh of relief, then swung forward vigorously, and shouted loudly:

"Armored troops! Forward!"

It doesn't matter if anyone hears it, what matters is that the armored forces are attacking!

Amidst the dull roar of the engine, the armored company led by Zhao Jie formed a wedge formation and began to charge. The tankers rushed towards the US tank group 500 meters away with a nonchalant attitude.

During the assault, the six tanks stopped for a short while, fired and then launched quickly.But just a face-to-face effort, they destroyed three US tanks.

After rushing out of the woods, Zhao Jie discovered that the situation was not as bad as he had imagined. Although the plan was temporarily adjusted and there was no unified command, his company still performed very well.

After all, his tank commanders are all experienced veterans. After discovering the adjustment of the plan, they did not fall into a panic. The long-term training made them have a certain tacit understanding. Six tanks formed three editors. The teams cooperated with each other, and according to the instructions of the company commander, starting from the front vehicle of the team, they smashed one American tank after another into scrap iron.

In fact, the absence of a radio station not only limits the communication between Imperial tanks, but also limits the U.S. military. In the face of a sudden attack, the commanders of U.S. tanks simply don’t know how to respond. They just instinctively search for the enemy and try to block the enemy’s attack. .But what they faced was a formation of two tanks, and they lined up in a long snake formation. Facing such an attack, they could only fight passively.

When the U.S. tanks rushed towards the enemy in a hurry and fired, the battle had reached a fever pitch.On the dirt road and the fields beside the road, the sound of guns and guns rang out, and the tanks that stopped for a short time kept aiming at the enemy and firing.
Despite the sudden attack, it does not mean that the Americans will give up resistance.Those American tankers drove their tanks to attack the nearest enemy.

For a while, the battlefield was full of gunfire, and American tanks continued to attack the Ming army with artillery.The roaring shells continuously blasted clouds of black smoke near the tank, and sometimes the shells even hit the tank.

With a "boom", accompanied by the sound of metal impact, the shell was either bounced or pierced through the armor of the tank.

However, in just a few minutes, ten US tanks had already been smashed into scrap iron and fell into the flames and thick smoke.

In the flames, the ammunition of the tank exploded. In the violent explosion, the turret was directly blown into the sky. Those tanks seemed to be taking off their hats to the tanks of the Ming army.

As the distance gets closer, the battle becomes more direct. The battle between tanks is like the ancient heavy cavalry charge. They charge directly at each other and shell each other at a distance of 200 meters. Tank shells Dragging the red tracer, flying across the tanks, accompanied by a loud "bell", the tanks of the enemy and us were hit one after another...
