Anti-war metal frenzy

(Bow to thank the readers of Autumn Shenguang for their rewards!)

"........." After listening to Li Tianda's report, Chu Jianxiong on the other end of the phone was choked for a long time and did not say a word.It took more than a minute before Chu Jianxiong yelled on the phone in a rage, "Li Tianda, you bastard! How long have you been fighting the devils in Yangcun? You'll kill the motherfucker!" One squadron of devils plus eleven tanks! One division of devils is only equipped with a total of twenty tanks, half of this crap work was reimbursed by your battalion!?"

"Tuan Zuo, what I said is the truth!" Li Tianda couldn't help holding the microphone and said aggrievedly when he heard the words.But having said that, if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes just now, even Li Tianda himself would have found it unbelievable.

At this moment, Major Sakai Sanjo, the commander of the No.11 Sakai Regiment of the Japanese Army No.3 Brigade, who was standing opposite the position of the Second Battalion in Yangcun, was sitting in a simple bunker piled with sandbags in a state of despair.In just 97 minutes before, almost a squadron of Imperial Japanese soldiers and eleven Type [-] medium tanks were wiped out in front of Major Sakai Sanjo. Such a loss made Major Sakai Sanjo almost want to cry.

The loss of soldiers is relatively easy to say, after all, how can there be no reason to die in a war?It won't take long for the recruits transported from Japan to fill up the vacancies in their wing again.But it is not so easy to replenish the destroyed Type 97 medium tanks.

Japan's tank production has been unable to fully display due to the constraints of Japan's low domestic steel production capacity.After excluding the necessary consumption of steel by the people, most of the remaining steel is allocated to the navy for the manufacture of various ships and ships, so as to maintain a sufficiently strong sea force.Therefore, for the army, especially the armored arms of the army, the proportion of domestic steel production has to be kept at a very low level.

Therefore, in order to save steel, the Japanese Army had to classify tanks over 97 tons as heavy tanks, and tanks over [-] tons as medium tanks.For medium-sized tanks like the Type [-], which weigh [-] tons, Japan's annual output is only about [-] units.But in the brief battle just now outside Yangcun, the attacking force commanded by Major Sakai Sanjo lost eleven vehicles in one fell swoop!

This terrifying figure is already equivalent to three percent of the annual domestic tank production of the Empire of Japan!40.00% of the number of tanks owned by the entire 29th Division Two!What's even more terrible is that such a heavy loss was caused when attacking an ordinary infantry regiment of the [-]th Army!Major Sakai Sanjo knew that no matter what the final outcome of the battle in Langfang was, he would never be able to escape the subsequent severe punishment from the military!

In all fairness, Major Sakai Sanjo is not the kind of commander who lacks a sense of responsibility.Before arriving in Tianjin, Major Sakai Sanjo had spent a lot of time, combined with the situation grasped by the Japanese military intelligence agency, to conduct a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the equipment composition of the 29th Army.

After analyzing all kinds of information provided by the intelligence agency, Major Sakai Sanjo came to the conclusion that the entire 29th Army possessed more than 70 mountain guns of different models and several mortars of different calibers. , there is no other heavy weapon.As for equipment such as chariots, there is not even a single one.

Major Sakai Sanjo is convinced of the conclusion he has come to.Not to mention the mere 29th Army stationed in North China, even the total number of tanks owned by the entire squadron at the moment will not exceed one hundred.

Of course, those who refit the trucks purchased from abroad, use screws to reinforce the metal plates on both sides of the truck, and then install a machine gun on the roof of the truck to use it as an armored vehicle are naturally not counted. , and it is difficult to say exactly how many armored vehicles made of this kind of modification are in China.

目前中**队所拥有的那些真正能被称之为‘坦克’的战车型号，酒井三条少佐早已经了然于心。这些种类复杂的战车包括了中国从德国购买的10辆5.3吨，安装了两挺7.92毫米机枪的pzkpfwi型轻型坦克、从意大利购买的20辆全重只有3.5吨，安装了两挺6.5毫米m14水冷机枪的cv33超轻型坦克、从英国购买的20辆全重为6.5吨，装有一门47mm火炮和一挺7.9mm机枪的维克斯型坦克以及另外29辆全重仅为1.5吨，安装了一挺7.9mm水冷式重机枪的维克斯卡登·洛伊德坦克。

Major Sakai Sanjo has always proudly believed that all the tanks equipped by the squadrons mentioned above are far inferior to the Type 97 medium tanks in his hands in terms of firepower and weight.Just the weight of the fifteen tons of the Type 97 medium tank is not comparable to these small things that only weigh five or six tons.

For example, the Vickers Carden Lloyd tank produced in the UK is simply a joke in the eyes of Major Sakai Sanjo. The pitiful weight of 1.5 tons makes the armor protection of this Vickers Carden Lloyd tank not as good as that of an ordinary truck.In addition, the water-cooled heavy machine gun installed on the tank forced the soldiers driving this Vickers Carden Lloyd tank to prepare a bucket of cold water in the car to cool down the machine gun during combat.

However, Major Sakai Sanjo regrets that even such a funny Vickers Carden Lloyd tank does not have a single one in the equipment of the 29th Army.With a feeling of loneliness as a master, Major Sakai Sanjo directly invested nearly half of the Type 97 medium tanks in his hands in the first attack on the outer positions of Yangcun.

Sakai Sanjo's original intention was to complete all his achievements in one battle, to completely wipe out the troops of the 29th Army at the two strategic points of Yangcun and Langfang Railway Station, and then place explosives under the railway roadbed to wait for the armor of the 29th Army The arrival of the train!

The initial attack was as smooth as Major Sakai Sanjo expected, and the huge waves created by the Type 97 medium tank and the infantry that followed were about to shatter the defenders on the opposite side.However, at the last moment, Major Sakai Sanjo clearly saw through the telescope in his hand that a huge chariot suddenly appeared in Yangcun, like a phantom, and completely disintegrated his attack in just 3 minutes. Lost!

Then the huge chariot slowly retreated into the depths of the village, as if it had never appeared before.However, Major Sakai Sanjo was convinced that if he launched another attack, that huge chariot would inevitably reappear, and then continued to smash the tanks and infantry in his attacking queue to pieces in the same way!Annoyed, Major Sakai Sanjo couldn't help but let out a hysterical howl from the bottom of his heart, where did the huge chariot in the village come from! ?
