The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"When did the little devil become so rich?!"

Yang Xiutang, the head of the second regiment, got out of the armored command vehicle with his head covered, and he exclaimed as he looked at the seething cloud of explosion smoke in the distance!

As the core combat force of the Zhu family army, their brigade has been fighting on the front line. I don't know how many meritorious service they have made in the charge. Everyone in the whole brigade is a well-known elite, and their treatment level is higher than that of other troops. What? I have seen all the scenes.

But it was indeed the first time I discovered that the Japanese sometimes bombarded them at any cost!

It is true that the battlefield here is not very far from Fengtian, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army. If the road is clear, his tank regiment can even charge to the city within a day.But it is obviously impossible. In order to ensure their core interests, the density of troops deployed by the Japanese army here is appalling. All kinds of expensive heavy weapons are also used in every corner. If you can see the military deployment map, even Zhu Bin will be shocked. ---Ah, it's not much worse than Tokyo!

Naturally, all kinds of large-caliber heavy artillery are indispensable here, especially ultra-long-range cannons that are inconvenient to move. It can be said that the essence of the entire Japanese army is right in front of us.

Because of this, the mountain brigade did not rush south to attack the fortifications, but concentrated its forces first to cooperate with other troops to kill the Japanese troops in Jilin and Heilongjiang. They also wanted to make an unprecedented contribution!

Today, the Japanese army actually took the initiative to launch an onslaught that was so vicious that it surpassed the norm. Is it true that the little devils have changed their strategy and are going to play a big counterattack, as the traveler said?

"Boom! Boom---!"

The dull explosion sounded on the ground like Shen Lei's, shaking the falling snow on the nearby pine forest, and the thick smoke and dust could almost gather into a mushroom cloud, rendering the sky hundreds of meters high. The fog was so thick that the plane probably couldn't see the ground clearly even when it swooped down.

The mountain brigade was originally good at attacking fortifications but not good at defending, plus it didn't plan to wait long before launching an attack.Therefore, there were very few people in the front trenches and buffer zones, and the indiscriminate bombing caused very little damage, but the obstacles built by the engineering troops were indeed almost destroyed!Not to mention the advanced armored weapons on their side, even the Japanese army's strange and tattered iron shells can still stumble forward.

"Damn it! Looks like there's going to be a tough fight!"

Yang Xiutang took off his helmet and threw it hard on the car roof.He gritted his teeth and snorted, but couldn't hide the eagerness in his eyes. He leaned over and shouted at the car: "Command the battalions, get ready to fight! Don't wait for my specific order, just go to me if you see someone! Let’s talk about destroying their vigor! Contact the Army Aviation Brigade, find out the little devil’s cannons for me, and destroy him!”

"Yes!"

The combat staff did not doubt his order at all.Originally, the mountain brigade has always carried out the spirit of active combat from top to bottom, so large that it is a regiment.As small as a squad, officers can take the initiative to take emergency actions based on real-time changes in the battlefield, instead of waiting for orders from the top.Although the portable radio station has reached the platoon level, it can call for various support by itself, but it is the quality that every commander should have, not waiting or relying on, actively discovering fighters and attacking them.

The extended barrage of Japanese shelling crossed the buffer zone and advanced to the front line of the Second Tank Regiment, and the scattered tank battalions and machine infantry battalions dispersed one after another.Take the company as a unit to cross the mountains and forests and farmland, with a distance of more than 200 meters from each other.Crush the unfrozen ground and charge at high speed!

The range of the small-caliber artillery on the opposite side is not enough, and it is not enough to cover the ten-kilometer-wide position with the large-caliber heavy artillery alone. The explosion density immediately drops several times, and more than 100 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles rush head-on in the face of the explosion. go!The shocking waves constantly rising around them are more like a magnificent symphony accompanying them!

There are no dead ends on the battlefield, and the turbulent fragments and turbulent impact waves make the tanks of [-] to [-] tons or even heavier bump more violently, and the irregular bomb craters make the tanks jump into the air from time to time.Or lean and deflect, the powerful Tesla bladeless turbo engine makes dozens of tons of steel almost as flexible as a bicycle!

On the opposite side, more than 100 Japanese tanks and chariots formed a mighty cluster, which was almost the largest armored assault since the establishment of the entire army.The all armored group was not accompanied by infantry. They crushed the broken barbed wire and log Luzhai at a speed of up to 35 kilometers per hour, crossed the collapsed anti-tank trenches and bomb craters, stumbled through the buffer zone, and suddenly appeared at the front of Yang Xiutang's second tank regiment. !

In the Japanese army's mind, with such an unprecedented attack mode, no matter how awesome the guys in front are, I am afraid that they are not prepared enough. If they are caught off guard and may be severely damaged by heavy artillery, they must be in a hurry. Falling apart?

But just after the wavy formation crossed the front, suddenly from the explosion zone like a landslide and tsunami, groups of steel guys who seemed to be chaotic and unorganized rushed out!Those exploding large-caliber shells seemed completely useless, or did those guys not care at all?

In short, the target who should have been forced to shrink back, actually rushed out on his own initiative!

The leader of the team was not afraid at all. In addition to being astonished, his blood boiled all over his body, and he got half of his body from the top of the turret, shouting loudly: "Assault!"

Together, nearly three hundred steel behemoths merged into one!

On the side of the second tank regiment, there are all "Cheetah-3" and company-level "Iron Hammer" double-barreled heavy tanks. There is no pressure under one-on-one, even in the short few days when they leap from the slope fortifications. Seconds, dare to aim and fire!

On the other hand, the Japanese army, in order to use their crappy 75mm cannon to blast away the opponent's perverted external composite armor and high-strength alloy shell, had to avoid the front, go around and attack the weak side or track from the side, and keep the accurate range at 500 meters as much as possible. Left and right, the difference between this and Zhu's army generally firing at a distance of 1 kilometer is too damn big!

The "Cheetah" group deployed in the skirmish line came out of the gunpowder smoke, and the distance from the Japanese army was less than 1000 meters. At a speed of 105 kilometers, the next hedging effort was close to several hundred meters. The 1000mm main gun fired first, and the hit rate of the first shot exceeded 105%. Under the bombardment of high-pressure rifled guns with a muzzle velocity exceeding [-] meters per second, armor-piercing projectiles bring terrible kinetic energy and penetration capabilities.The unprecedented [-]mm heavy armor of the Japanese Type [-] tank exploded and shattered, and the cover was lifted off in groups of explosions, and the fireball swallowed these guys!

The steel plate shattered, and the flames flew wildly!

日军一式战车采用完全版56.4倍身管的75mm 99式高射炮制造而成，在保证车体总重量不超过45吨的前提下，主炮威力比之前的九零式野炮大了不止一倍！在1千米内。甚至可以打穿100mm匀质钢板装甲！之前所有的日军战车都扛不住抵近一击！

Although the army's armor-piercing bullets are still not powerful, it is also due to the limitations of warhead design and insufficient metallurgical materials. After the German or British technology is obtained, it will definitely improve a lot!Optimistically, it may be able to easily penetrate 105mm armor!

As for the chariot itself, the front armor has also been thickened to 105mm unprecedentedly, and the chassis of the car body has also tried to imitate the Chinese, adopting a design of six pairs of road wheels.A series of improvements such as the cast turret and the shape of the wedge-shaped front armor --- the Japanese army will never admit that they actually got the "heavy fist" tank smuggled out by some people in the Central Army and then disassembled it for counterfeiting.

cough cough!You can't even tell this secret!

However, the experts from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have to admit that the design and manufacturing capabilities of the Chinese people are much stronger than them!With a weight of only 30 tons or less, the tanks manufactured are stronger than their 75-[-]-ton heavy tanks!Moreover, people can actually stuff a modified [-]mm gun with more than [-] times the barrel into it without affecting it. This technology is too good!

They have decided to try their best to stuff the more powerful 88mm gun into it to make it into a heavy tank, and it is not impossible to even create a 105mm main gun on the basis of the tank.In short, it is eight blocks better than Baishi's stupid [-]-ton tank!

The appearance is easy to learn, but the core is hard to imitate!Japan's metallurgical technology is not up to standard.Some details cannot be studied thoroughly, resulting in the car body being more than twice as heavy as others!But what they are proud of is that the power of their main guns is huge!It can definitely kill the original "heavy punch" tank easily!

The "Cheetah-3", which fired first, finished blasting, and before aiming at the second target, the Japanese army's observation and aiming were also completed, but their ability to fire while marching was still not very good.Had to stop temporarily, the "boom" shot, the huge recoil of the 56.4 times the barrel gun made the whole body tremble suddenly, and the cast iron turret, which was a bit weak in structure, creaked and shook, and the whole body jumped backwards and upwards!

The shell with a muzzle velocity of 860 meters roared through the air with a straight trajectory.As high as 600% of the first hit rate within 20 meters reached the extreme of Japanese tanks, more than 3 "Cheetah-[-]" rushed to the front, and the continuous explosions of "Boom" were scattered in the smoky wilderness!

The Japanese army played very accurately!The front faces or turret armor of more than 20 "Cheetahs" were shattered!The thick modules flew away after being shattered by garbage armor-piercing bullets, and the hard high-strength alloy body trembled violently in response to the sound, emitting a burst of billowing smoke!

But, penetrating, one does not!

However, it still affected their next aiming and shooting. The angry tank commanders yelled and directed the tanks to rush over in one breath. The moment the two sides met, the Chinese tankers who finally saw the appearance of the Japanese tanks were completely out of breath. Shouting: "Fuck! The little devil copied our tank! Shameless!"

good!In front of their eyes, the Japanese tanks that appeared looked exactly like their first version of the "Cheetah-1" or the "Heavy Punch" tanks specially assigned to other troops!Regardless of the length and shape of the car body or the iconic cast iron turret, it is almost out of the same mold, but the details are obviously much rougher, especially the external armor is awkward, and the combination of the gun barrel and the embedded turret is obviously subtle. There is no difference, there is no smoke grenade ejector, and the track skirt armor is not the same.

But that's all secondary, the key is --- does Nima feel like fighting with his own people?Isn't Little Japan clamoring all day long that its technology is advanced and ahead of the whole of Asia? When did it mess up its integrity and start copying Chinese products!

Angry!A bunch of young Chinese angry tankers are all pissed off!The genuine ones don't like to see the pirated ones showing off their power in front of them, so dozens of "Cheetahs" simply rotated their turrets and almost opened fire on the foreheads of the Japanese Type 100 tanks that were less than [-] meters away!

The instant explosive air waves brought about by the bombardment of high muzzle velocity artillery are really amazing!The black soil piled up on the ground and the dirty snow immediately blasted a tornado-like smoke and dust, rolling and roaring around, and the triple-sonic 105mm armor-piercing bullet brought out a soul-hunting shriek. The propped up umbrella-shaped shock shield bombarded the Japanese army's copycat external armor.Before even touching it, that fiberglass-based shit fell apart and exploded to pieces!

The strength of the steel plate at the back can't even keep up with the armor of the Japanese battleships. The yield and tensile strength are completely insufficient. It is pierced by everything and explodes again and again!

such a situation.Let the cheeks of the Japanese commanders behind them twitch!Full of unwillingness and humiliation!It's really... helpless!This is already the greatest capability of the Imperial Army!Don't want to lose face and copy Chinese tanks, and come up with a powerful tank that you think is the world's leading, but it is still vulnerable to a fight?What happened!

But fortunately, they have an advantage in numbers, and soon, they will be able to break the deadlock? !

The two sides mingled together with a bang, like the collision of huge steel waves, leaving behind sparse burning and smoking steel garbage, and some even passed by directly.Fire each other with turrets too!

When the speed of each other exceeds [-] kilometers, the accuracy drops sharply. The shells fired horizontally and vertically on the battlefield will not only hurt the enemy, but also inevitably blow up their own family members, but the effect is completely different!

In order to reduce the weight of the Type 55 tank of the Japanese army, the side armor is only [-]mm thick, even if the fake armor is thicker.It can't have a real anti-strike effect --- in fact, they haven't studied it until now.In the end, how does the external armor play a combined defense effect? ​​Even the angle and shape of the chiseled external armor, the principle and effect of the composite structure layer, there is no detailed data, and the effect produced by the cat and the tiger is worlds apart!

People who buy off those factories in China.It was discovered that they were only manufacturing according to the semi-finished products sent by the above. The specific performance indicators and ingredients of those materials were unknown---all the technologies were still in the hands of Zhu Bin's scientific research team. Can't find the real thing!

then.The consequences of the gap appeared!

The shells flying horizontally hit the "Cheetah" body, most likely there will be no major problems, mainly scratches, and occasionally some unlucky ones are hit by the bombardment. At most, the composite armor will be blown away and a piece will be smashed into it, directly piercing through it. The is absolutely not.

The Japanese chariot can't hold it anymore!Direct bombardment at a distance of tens of meters, even without the use of shells, the impact of the moment of firing can deform their external armor.The shock wave carried by the shell was released in a narrow space, as powerful as a supersonic sonic boom, enough to kill all the members of the car!

Too many ants kill elephants!The Second Tank Regiment was too scattered, and only a little more than one-third of the force that rushed into the Japanese tank formation, a total of forty or fifty main battle tanks, was divided into front and back waves. Wang Yangzhong is average!

Although the Japanese chariots were not powerful enough, their rate of fire was not slow, and their accuracy was high. They even stopped aiming and bombarding them, and beat them randomly. No one was spared from being hit by shells, and seven or eight vehicles even temporarily stopped cooking because of collisions and consecutive shots, but their result was that they killed a full thirty or forty Japanese tanks!

The regiment leader who fell behind looked sharply, and roared fiercely: "Damn idiot! Can't you win like this?! Call the artillery and cover the battlefield with intensive bombing!"

"But Colonel! That would also blow up our chariot!"

"Don't worry so much! As long as you can kill the China Chariot, any sacrifice is worth it!"

The captain felt distressed, but there was nothing he could do!Such a well-prepared charge turned out to be such a rubbish result, there is no way to explain it!So far, the only important thing is to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible, otherwise, if they are cut off from the back, the cluster armor attack used to decide the victory will become a joke!

"Hi! I understand!"

It has to be said that this order was very accurate. Although the development of the Japanese armor force was early, the progress was slow. Because all resources were tilted towards the navy, there was no dedicated person to track decent armor, let alone advanced.The most important thing is that their enemies are aliens who cannot be judged by common sense at all... This heaven-defying bug is too fucked up, and it cannot be caught up with hard work.

The order was sent back immediately, and the small-caliber field artillery that had just stopped to rest roared again, and hundreds of dense rapid-fire artillery shells crashed down one after another, and the dense explosion fireworks engulfed the sparse "cheetahs" in no time!

But in the air, there are groups of huge figures with dual rotors passing by at high speed!That is an army version of the twin-rotor armed helicopter!The heavy-duty armed helicopter with a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour does not have high maneuverability, but the thickness of its armor can withstand fragmentation damage from 37mm anti-aircraft guns and direct fire from 12.7mm heavy machine guns. Have a carrying capacity of at least six armored fighters!

When the air force was entangled with the Japanese flying regiment, these guys who rushed out from the height of the treetops swept across the battlefield from the billowing smoke, and suddenly appeared in front of the Japanese artillery positions that had been put on top. The machine guns and rockets fired together, and two of them took care of one unit. In a blink of an eye, a dense cloud of explosion smoke rose from the rear of the Japanese army, and dozens of armored soldiers jumped out of the engine room. The lunatics raced their legs at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, rushing into the dense forest like a gust of wind!

The Japanese infantry defense line on the third and outer floors suddenly ushered in such a group of invulnerable monsters. They watched their hands and feet sweeping across the trenches like steel tigers. The corpses of thousands of Japanese soldiers were broken, the guns disintegrated, and they were in a mess! (To be continued..)
