The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

() The sudden flash of light caught the defenders of the checkpoint who had just discovered something was wrong. The blind spot that the searchlight could not scan made them unable to see the situation clearly. The explosion immediately blasted the soldiers inside to the sky!

Almost at the same time, several consecutive gunshots were fired, and the conspicuous searchlights were all shattered. Together with the illuminated street lamps, the light was suddenly dimmed, only the flash of the explosion had not had time to subdue.

The heavy machine gun on the infantry fighting vehicle roared after him, and the dense bullets swept across the intersection, sweeping the stunned figure to the ground.Then, several consecutive artillery shells flashed past, and several bright sparks exploded on the circular reinforced concrete fortification. The sharp high-speed armor-piercing shells dug holes one foot deep in the thick wall, but did not Can't go any further!

"Hey! It's pretty solid!" Yuan Zhi teased with a chuckle, and responded with a relaxed sarcasm to the heavy machine gun sweeper who quickly reacted inside.

After all, the 40mm Bofors gun is not a professional tank gun. Even if it is improved, it only reduces the structure and recoil to adapt to the turret of the infantry tank. The city defense is not bad, but the solid concrete permanent fortifications are a headache! ..

The bullets ejected from the circular fortress hit the infantry chariot, jingling and splashing a series of sparks, but the fur was not damaged. The turret aimed again and fired alternately at a stable shooting speed. After two or three shots, the front shot was fired. The punching hole was sealed, and the heavy machine gun followed, pressing down on the Japanese army in front, and the three vehicles suddenly accelerated and rushed forward!

The number of Japanese troops in this checkpoint is quite a lot, the security forces at the front are only a small part, and there are more in the temporary barracks and semi-submersible fortifications at the back. Entering the state of alert, the sudden attack only stunned them for a few seconds.Officers, large and small, shouted and mobilized them immediately, rifles and light machine guns joined in the shooting.

Behind, the four grenade launchers fired grenades at the fastest speed, but the distance was barely enough, and they were not very accurate in panic, so they got nothing.

The response of the two mortars was slightly slower.The commander reacted very quickly and knew exactly what terrible tragedy would happen to those heavy tanks rushing forward. He fired continuously at the fastest speed without waiting for the aim. The explosion exploded, and many fragments hit the armor of the car body, making a sound like hail!

The tank gun immediately extended its shot forward, and the low-stretched ballistic trajectory swept across the top of the sandbag fortification as much as possible, and shattered the two machine guns that had just risen from the dark. hour.The infantry chariot stopped abruptly, and several soldiers jumped down from the rear. With the cover of the car body, they picked up the bazooka and aimed at the messy fortress to pull the trigger!

The tandem armor-piercing projectiles specially designed for concrete structures were stuck on the front of the fortress. The super high-energy mixed explosives contained in it pushed forward to produce amazing destructive power. The reinforced concrete wall with a thickness of one meter could not hold it at all After the crazy destructive power was opened by the front of the series, a hole the size of a washbasin was opened, and the jet of high-temperature metal smoothly sprayed through the wall and shot into it.In an instant, the inside of the semi-enclosed fortress became a crater.The machine gun team close at hand and other people behind were roasted and charred in an instant!

boom!A dazzling light flashed, glaring flames spewed out from the shooting holes of the two fortresses, the shrill and short howls stopped in a flash, and the blocking firepower stopped almost immediately!

The infantry fighting vehicle started up again with a bang and continued to rush forward. It was at this time that two mortar positions were knocked out with rapid fire.The camouflage was suddenly removed on the two half-slopes behind, and two [-]-type infantry guns appeared!

Yuan Zhi was taken aback, and blurted out: "Damn it! Is this little devil going crazy? It's just a checkpoint, and it has also set up artillery. What are they planning to deal with?!"

Is there even a need to ask?It is simply a feast prepared for special forces like him! The Japanese Army is on the northern battlefield.The powerful warriors who fell out of thin air were wiped out many times. Once or twice is not enough, it has been done many times. Japan knows from top to bottom that the Chinese like and are good at night airborne raids, and they are so powerful that ordinary infantry can't deal with them at all. There is absolutely no need to hesitate about how much heavy firepower they can pile up!

Not just infantry artillery!There was a heavy roar, and two tanks modified in 75 rushed out of the semi-submersible bunker with billowing smoke. The ferocious and rough semi-riveted hull shell shone with gloomy light, and the [-]mm artillery was rushing. As soon as he got out of the bunker, he opened fire!

"Boom! Boom!"

Two artillery shells hit the head, passed the infantry vehicle dangerously and penetrated into the ground, and exploded less than five meters away. The air wave from the grenade explosion, which was exactly like a field artillery, shook the infantry vehicle. The people inside felt a muffled buzzing in their ears, and their hearts seemed to have been punched!

But that's it, no matter how powerful it is, he can't play it out. The design standard requires a composite structure that can resist the explosion of large-caliber shells in the vicinity without causing impact or shocking people. It cannot be completely immune to this caliber, but It will never affect the combat effectiveness!

It's just that it's never a good idea to stay here and use it as a target for tanks. The infantry chariot flexibly swung sideways to avoid the line of sight of the tank guns. Yuan Zhi pressed the headset and shouted: "Heavenly, let's clear up the obstacles!"

"Understood!" The armed helicopter that had been circling quietly in the air immediately locked on to a steel figure. The nose sank, and two uncontrolled rockets swished down from the sky. The A bomb and a high-explosive bomb were killed in parallel at an interval of less than one second, and the "Boom" submerged the [-]-modified tank in the violent explosion!

The armor-piercing projectile hit the right track of the tank, and the oblique jet shot destroyed the track and the road wheel drive shaft, and cut off a piece of the weak side armor. The Japanese army crew burned half of their bodies!

The high-explosive grenade rubbed against the buttocks of the tank with a small gap and penetrated into the bottom, where it exploded violently. Although it was only a 53mm rocket, the charge of the warhead was not small at all, and the tank with almost no armor at all was destroyed by hundreds. The steel balls and fragments of the meter were sieved, the engine and the fuel tank were destroyed at the same time, a huge force lifted the buttocks of the [-]-ton car body up, a puff of thick smoke burst open the cover and came out from the top, coughing almost It's so loud!

The other medium tank did not expect to encounter such a killer at all.I haven't fully understood what's going on, and I'm just trying to find trouble with the infantry tank with the slow turret.It's a pity that the rotation speed of their turrets is appallingly slow. It is impossible to catch up with the infantry vehicles traveling at a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour on the road. One of them was inattentive and was shot by one of them with a 40mm armor-piercing projectile!

"Boom!" Thick smoke billowed from the front of the medium tank, and the thickened 50mm front armor was just within the damage thickness of the rotating armor-piercing warhead of the 60L Bofors gun.In addition, the 105 modified chariot deployed in Taiwan cannot be compared with those guys in the Kwantung Army who have to face the guys carrying [-]mm high-pressure rifled guns all day long. While the car body is lightweight, the thickness and quality of the armor are also significantly worse. In particular, the lack of an inner shatter-resistant Kevlar liner.

So, this medium tank is a tragedy!

The shooting angle of the armor-piercing projectile is slightly upward, forming an oblique angle with the front armor. After the bullet barely penetrates the front armor, a small part is exposed from the inside. The liner with little strength has no blocking power at all.Bean-sized high-temperature fragments scattered freely and freely, and the heading heavy machine gunner was the first to suffer, and was shot through the head by the two fasts and died on the spot!

The driver next to him didn't heal much either. With a few fragments, his arm was crippled from the side, his cheek was pierced, and he was paralyzed with screams. His injured hand pulled the joystick involuntarily, and the chariot slammed into place violently. Twist.The commander above who was aiming was caught off guard, and his eye sockets were almost knocked off by the scope.The loader staggered, and the shell in his hand hit the breech block!

"It's over!" The head of the loader went blank, and the first thing he thought was that it was broken!What will happen to such a powerful warhead on the breech bolt?

But the next second he came back to his senses, by the way, the shells are all safe!Without firing, the chamber speed cannot be reached.It will not detonate by collision. Fortunately, it is not a special bomb. Those uninsured things will definitely explode when they hit the fuze with such a strong force...

He thought happily, planning to reload the cannonballs, so as not to be sucked to death by the long-eared photon of the car.The cold chariot moved again, and his head hit the side with a "bang". Even though there was a leather hat on the bottom, his head was still in pain as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer. Hitting it hard again!

"Boom!" The cannonball that had been roughly treated twice in a row finally couldn't help but exploded! The 75mm armor-piercing projectile exploded in the narrow turret, blowing the entire turret away from the vehicle body and flying several meters high.

"Is that okay?!"

The gunner on the infantry chariot stared wide-eyed, and was speechless at the strange changes of the medium chariot. Could it be that his own armor-piercing shells also have a delayed detonation function?But the intensity of the explosion was too great, it was completely beyond what the 40mm armor-piercing projectile could do... Never mind, there are still things to do!

Turning his head, aiming at the Type [-] infantry gun that was firing with the muzzle lowered, all three rounds passed, blowing up the whole firing group. The entire team was submerged in a sea of ​​flames!

Three infantry fighting vehicles slammed into the sandbag machine gun nest, and passed the concrete fortress magnificently. The Japanese army dug out a continuous inverted triangle defensive formation on both sides of the road, stuck the road tightly, and a flare went up from behind. Under the shining light in the sky, the mighty and heroic posture of the infantry chariot immediately attracted the attention of all Japanese troops!

"Fire!" The squadron leader swung his saber vigorously, the rifles and light machine guns slammed into one piece, the bullets jingled and exploded, and the infantry vehicles were divided into left and right, each occupying one side, and the heavy machine gun roared like a wind. He pulled out two fiery steel sickles from the positions on both sides, and beat the exposed soldiers to their knees!

On the high slope a little further back, two 37mm anti-tank guns emerged. The gunners desperately shook the direction, trying to make the muzzles catch up with the running tanks, but the opponent's actions were too fast, and the nearby Luzhai didn't care at all. The thing happened, but it failed with a single shot. The violent flash was spotted by the armed helicopter, and it descended unceremoniously. It fired four consecutive shots with 25mm cannons. In the intensive tiny explosions, the cao cannon soldiers were blown up one after another. , Immediately misfire!

The infantry chariot rushed across the road, hundreds of Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, and the rest were crushed by the continuous bullets, and three bulletproof cars took advantage of the gap.The windows on both sides are opened, and the assault rifle bullets are swept away one after another, with the unique quick-shooting sound of the mp40 submachine gun mixed in the middle, with high and low matching, the sound is pleasant!

The checkpoint set up by the Japanese army is obviously preparing for the possibility of two-way enemies, and there are actually two fortresses in front.There are even shooting holes facing all four directions, which is obviously ready to provide fire support no matter which direction the breakthrough is from!

The infantry chariot rushed forward, and the two fortresses opened fire immediately. The dense 7.7mm heavy machine gun bullets almost reached the maximum speed of its feed plate, but it was far behind the impact speed of the infantry chariot. The bullet hole was sealed in an instant, and was rushed to the vicinity in a blink of an eye.

This time, without waiting for the soldiers above to come down.Immediately following the bulletproof car rushing over, two German soldiers each held an "Iron Fist" rocket-propelled grenade, aiming at the fortress and shooting them out!

It is imitated from Zhu Jiajun's first-generation product concept, but it has distinct German characteristics. Compared with the advanced generation they sold to the Japanese themselves, the warhead can penetrate 150mm homogeneous steel plates. It has a range of 100 meters. A flash hit the front of the fort. The 10mm-diameter warhead contained 400g of mixed explosives and exploded, and the solid reinforced concrete wall was blasted into two deep holes in the front.A violent force erupted inside, killing at least seven or eight Japanese soldiers at once!

But its power is obviously not comparable to the advanced Chinese gadgets, and the fan-shaped killing ability is very limited. Except for the frontal firepower point being destroyed, the other shooting holes are still continuing to fire in an orderly manner, which shows that there is still a lot of vitality!

The Chinese guys didn't laugh at the inadequacy of their weapons.I sincerely praise the Germans for their ability to hit shots while traveling at high speed, which makes the Germans with strong self-esteem look a lot better.Major Schmidt was not very satisfied. He made up his mind to persuade the Army to increase the power of its weapons no matter what.

Elite German special fighters cannot fight with inferior weapons.That's a shame!

The artillery shells replenished by the infantry chariot completely silenced the two fortresses. The machine gun nest facing the rear was flattened by the artillery, and then collapsed. The Japanese soldiers inside were killed and injured. The survivors watched the convoy grow And go, in a hurry to make a phone call!

Anyone who is not a fool can tell that they are heading for the railway bridge!

This place is less than three kilometers away from the bridge, and it took less than 5 minutes for the sprinting convoy to get close. The defense here is obviously more than twice as strong as the checkpoint in front!

At the head of the bridge, there is the first trench barbed wire defense line composed of an inverted triangle array, with at least three layers in front and back, and 150 meters in front.

On the second floor, there are six fortresses arranged in an arc. The two large ones are as high as two floors and have a diameter of more than seven or eight meters. The arc-shaped canopy on the top has camouflage and shooting holes Among them, what sticks out is the muzzle!

The other four bunkers facing each other are only less than two meters above the ground, and the concrete on the top seems to be at least one meter thick. They are impressively equipped with 13.2mm heavy machine guns, and there are no less than six mortars in the side positions. And at least two 37mm anti-tank guns.

And on the top of the steel frame of the bridge, there are also machine guns erected, condescending. On both sides of the railway of the bridge, there is a medium tank waiting in battle. In the rushing river, there is an inland river gunboat cruising. The artillery position exists, just like a three-dimensional defensive formation!

Yuan Zhi was convinced by the little devil's intensive defense. Is this a gesture to stop the advance of the large army?The firepower density has caught up with the heavy weapons of a brigade. This is just a bridgehead. Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?

Thanks to the fact that they brought enough weapons, otherwise, the armored fighters could only be dealt with by airborne!

After leaving one infantry fighting vehicle and two bulletproof cars, build a defensive line to stop the Japanese army chasing and killing them. The remaining three vehicles face forward, and the helicopter in the sky sends an urgent reminder: "Don't rush forward! The Japanese army has set up a trap. make life difficult for!"

The passages on both sides of the Qiaotou Railway have been dug up long ago, and steel plates are laid on it as a temporary load. When the gunshots rang out in front, this side was disconnected first, and the result was a round anti-tank trench in front of it. The infantry tank is gone, and the main battle tank has no way to come!

Yuan Zhi's teeth were itching with hatred, and he cursed helplessly: "You little devil is a thief! Is this forcing me to fight a tough battle? Good! Then try to see how our propulsion ability is!"

A total of more than a dozen people had to fight against at least one squadron of defenders and heavy weapons that exceeded the equipment standard of a brigade. Under normal circumstances, there was almost no chance of winning!

There was anti-aircraft fire below, and the armed helicopters did not dare to be too nervous. They wandered back and forth on the center line and aimed their cannons at the bottom from a distance.

All the people jumped off the infantry chariot and the extended Cadillac, and each of them was very loose, matching light and heavy weapons, and each seized a favorable position to enter the battle preparation.

The two infantry tanks didn't dare to stop at all, and flexibly made a snake-like maneuver. The artillery aimed at the artillery position on the opposite side and bombarded them with several grenades. In the violent explosion, the Japanese army who was waiting in full battle calmly rolled out the anti-tank guns. , Cooperate with the rapid she of the mortar, launch a concentrated attack on the two of them!

In the lower Danshui River, the inland river gunboat fired many flares into the sky one after another. On the bridge, the high-power searchlight unscrupulously swept towards the trenches. In the towering permanent fortifications, the black hole slowly protruded from the muzzle. It seems that this It is an indestructible solid line of defense! (To be continued.)
