My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 276 Failed to penetrate the enemy’s armor!
Datong.

One of the terminal stations of Tongpu Railway.

Zigang Village Ningji's plan to organize more than 9 troops to rescue the First Army failed miserably. After the First Army was completely wiped out,
Recovered by the troops.

Following this, various economic policies have been continuously rolled out, and over the past year or so, a political and industrial management system that has gradually matured in the base area has also been established simultaneously.

Early July.

The scorching sun scorches people.

Outside Datong.

"This is such a bad weather..."

The leader of the new fifth regiment touched the helmet on his head, and the tone of his originally cursing words suddenly changed:
"Hey, this helmet."

In just over a year, the army has undergone earth-shaking changes. Bullets, artillery shells and grenades have been manufactured, tanks, aircraft and artillery are now available, and even steel helmets have begun to be equipped.

It is no longer the cloth hat it used to be.

In fact, the leader of the new fifth regiment doesn't like steel helmets very much.

He had captured the Japanese helmet and also brought it with him.

Not only was he serious, but he also knocked on his head.

On the battlefield, it will even affect mobility. If you wear it for a long time, your head will be very uncomfortable, and the protective ability is just that.

So, at first, it seemed like he had no intention of wearing a helmet.

But after trying it for a while, he found that this kind of helmet didn't seem to be made of steel. It was very light, much lighter than the Japanese helmet, and it was very comfortable to wear, no matter how long it took.

Said to be a high-tech Kevlar material,
"It seems that I need to learn more cultural knowledge in the future, otherwise I won't even recognize the helmet."

"By the way, is this still called a steel helmet?"

Muttering in his heart, the leader of the new fifth regiment led the entire regiment and continued to rush towards the intended target.

Their mission today is to attack the Japanese Gaoxian County.

Yes,

correct.

Today's mission of the New Fifth Regiment is to attack a county town where a Japanese brigade is stationed.

"Watch out for anti-tank mines."

"Let the demining truck go ahead."

Along the way, the leader of the new fifth regiment wished he had three heads and six arms.

It has been more than a year since the new fifth regiment was established. After several reorganizations and rounds of training for the soldiers, it is now an ordinary regiment with a total strength of 3000 people.

Not the main group.

At present, the New Fifth Regiment has an armored platoon equipped with three No. 72 tanks, six 120 mortars, two howitzer platoons towing 105 howitzers, and two 75mm anti-tank gun platoons.

As for the 82 and 60 mortars, they are no longer included in the artillery.

The rest are all semi-motorized camps.

A total of 150 three-ton trucks.

The reason why it is semi-motorized is not that there is not enough equipment. In fact, there are so many cars in the warehouse, but it is because there are not enough soldiers to drive.

There aren't that many auto soldiers.

Although the army has set up more than a dozen training camps, with thousands of experts from Boss Mo responsible for training, with the promulgation of the army's 336 order, automobile soldiers must not only be able to drive, but also have sufficient cultural knowledge. level, must pass the military proficiency assessment.

Even if you are a warrior with some cultural background, if you want to pass, it will take less than half a year and you can't even think about it if you don't study hard.

Anyway, as a team leader, he always got low scores and almost failed. This was because experts gave him step-by-step tutoring and because he performed extremely well during that period.

However, the benefits of this doctrine are also obvious.

Starting this month, the army’s latest truck is called the Medium Tactical Vehicle, and it seems to have an English abbreviation called FMTV.

The new truck is equipped with a high-horsepower diesel engine, a universal off-road high-mobility chassis, and a central inflation and deflation system. It is available in [-]-ton models and [-]-ton models. The towing capacity is twice the carrying capacity.

No matter which model it is, it has strong off-road performance, and the auto soldiers who have passed the assessment can finally use the performance of this super truck.

We won't be like before, where we can only take the highway and get stuck in cars at every turn.

Even with a slope of one or two meters and a mountain road that is so rugged that it is difficult for people to walk, it can easily pass it under standard load conditions and is no slower than people.Especially on rainy days, muddy roads are no longer a nightmare for cars.

more importantly,
The test he had seen with his own eyes used the Japanese's [-]-inch cover. Once the distance was a little farther, it was impossible to penetrate the truck now.Even the Type [-] heavy machine gun cannot penetrate a target a hundred meters away.

This thing works better than the Japanese armored vehicles before.

Even glass can protect against a few bullets.

It's a pity that this kind of car also has high requirements for drivers. It is given priority to the main force. He is an ordinary regiment. There is no driver to drive it and no way to equip it. It can only use old-fashioned three-ton trucks. Its off-road capabilities are far inferior to the new ones. truck.

···
Gao County.

Heyue Brigade.

Major Heyue looked at the empire's latest 90mm anti-tank gun in front of him with surprise.

Although this artillery is very heavy.

It must be the latest ten-wheel truck from the empire, quietly imported from abroad, or a crawler tractor will work, but the latter is several times more expensive than the imported ten-wheel truck, and the speed is still slower.

Actually,
The captured enemy three-ton truck was better suited for towing.

Their diesel engine has 250 horsepower, which is twice as powerful as an imported ten-wheel truck. Its torque is three times greater than that of an imported ten-wheel truck, and its passing ability is much stronger.

Unfortunately, so far in the war, the empire has only captured a few trucks that were lost due to the other party's carelessness. Most of the rest are damaged and cannot be used by him.

"Captain, the enemy is coming!"

At this time, a communications soldier happened to report to him.

"Yo Xi."

Major Heyue was immediately overjoyed.

The enemy's No. 72 tank is simply a nightmare for the troops. Even the empire's strongest No. 90 No. 75 artillery can't penetrate the frontal armor using newly researched armor-piercing projectiles.

Even because of its high maneuverability, it is extremely difficult for anti-tank guns to hit within 500 meters, but the artillery on enemy tanks can fire during high-speed maneuvers.Major Heyue couldn't figure this out.

How can a tank gun fire during a maneuver, and at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour?
And it’s very accurate!
How can this be?

How can this be?

The Imperial Death Squadron also encountered trouble when facing this kind of tank.

Not to mention when maneuvering at high speeds, there is no samurai who can hold a dozen kilograms of explosives and keep up with the No. 72 tank that can reach a cross-country speed of [-] kilometers.

When it slows down, there are either enemy armored vehicles or enemy truck infantry around the tank, and the death squads have no chance of getting close.

So much so that no imperial force has ever defeated this kind of tank.

And this time...

"I want to defeat this No. 72 tank and let the people of the Republic of China know that the empire cannot be bullied casually."

Major Heyue was hysterical.

Beside, a Japanese lieutenant frowned.

Although in terms of qualifications, this lieutenant is no weaker than Major Heyue, but because he has not been trained by a military academy, he will never be able to serve as an assistant officer in this life.

The Japanese captain still remembered that more than a year ago, the empire's slogan was to let the Republic of China know that the empire could not be defeated.

And now...

It has become that the empire cannot be bullied casually.

This change is a bit big!

"Your Majesty Colonel, the enemy is coming."

"Eighth Route is coming!"

"And Tank No. 72!"

At this time, there were Japanese guards reporting with panic.

"Tank No. 72?"

Hearing the No. 72 tank, the Japanese soldiers showed fear.

Although there is not much contact, after all, there are not many skilled tank crews in the army, the power of the No. 72 tank still leaves an indelible shadow in the hearts of all Japanese.

Because wherever Tank No. 72 appears, the Imperial Army will be defeated.

So much so that there was a 72 panic within the Locust Army.

"Don't be afraid, we have new anti-tank guns."

Major Heyue's tone was confident and high-spirited:

"Let us, the Heyue Brigade, end the undefeated myth of Tank No. 72!"

The lieutenant beside him blinked.

This sentence seems very familiar. Back then, the other party also said the same thing!
I just don’t know...

····
"attack."

"Carry out the attack according to the predetermined plan."

Arriving at a position three kilometers outside Gaoxian County, the commander of the new fifth regiment ordered the infantry to get off the vehicle.

The three-ton truck equipped by their regiment is not bulletproof.

Moreover, even the multi-purpose military trucks equipped by the main regiment cannot be driven directly onto the battlefield. This is a matter of armored vehicles.

Following the order of the commander of the New Fifth Regiment, the three thousand soldiers of the New Fifth Regiment deployed one after another.

The regiment's six 120-mm mortars and two 105-mm howitzers began to set up positions. The 82nd mortar also began to be set up, and the 60th mortar followed the infantry.

75 tank gun is actually an improved version of Germany's famous PK43. The firepower has not been enhanced, but the stability has been increased and the weight has been reduced. This is mainly due to the lack of professional military personnel and temporary equipment used to deal with permanent fortifications.

After the firepower was deployed,

Under the cover of three or two 72 tanks, the New Fifth Regiment launched an attack on Gaoxian.

Although Gaoxian refers to a county, the domestic county towns and infrastructure at this time are far from comparable to those abroad, and there is no basis for street fighting at all.

Faced with a lot of artillery.There are also two 75mm anti-tank artillery, three tanks equipped with 105mm artillery, and the new fifth regiment that has been trained in street fighting. The battle is almost without suspense.

Even though the New Fifth Regiment is an ordinary regiment due to a serious shortage of technical arms. Before the Japanese were released, it was a garrison brigade. However, its combat effectiveness is not weak.

In the head of the new fifth regiment, this battle was actually just an exercise.

Break through the enemy's outer positions, then use firepower to suppress the enemy, divide and surround them, and then eliminate them one by one.

After half an hour,
An infantry battalion, under the cover of three tanks, launched an attack on Gaoxian.

The second battalion was divided into two groups.Spread to both wings and cut off the Gaoxian brigade's retreat.

The third battalion serves as a reserve force.

There is actually only one Japanese brigade in Gaoxian County. Although it is a full Japanese brigade, it actually only has more than 1000 people.From a Japanese perspective, the firepower is not weak. There is an artillery squadron and an enhanced anti-tank squadron.

But there were only five artillery pieces.

"Prepare."

Under the personal command of Heyue Laozi, a latest 90mm anti-tank gun was aimed at the front of a No. 72 tank, and was operated by him personally.

"fire!"

A 90mm armor-piercing round accurately hit the front of the No. 72 tank.

There was a bang, and after that, nothing happened.

The tank, without even slowing down, continued to advance toward Gaoxian, and the main gun had begun to turn toward the anti-tank gun.

Major Guizi Heyue's face turned pale, and he said to the communications soldier behind him:
"Report to Wing Headquarters."

"At a distance of 500 meters, the new anti-tank gun failed to penetrate the enemy's armor!"

Not long after the communications troops left, a 105mm high-explosive bomb sent the Heyue old Japanese and the new 90mm anti-tank artillery to the west.
