Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said angrily: "Zhou Xiao, how do you usually train your soldiers? In less than half an hour, you let the Japanese army break through our defense line!"

Zhou Xiao said, "Shuai Lin, we didn't expect the Japanese army to use tanks!"

Lin Yuan said in surprise, "What did you say?"

Zhou Xiao said: "That's right, it's tanks, and the Japanese army also used tanks!"

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked: "What do the Japanese tanks look like? How many are there?"

Zhou Xiao said: "This reconnaissance brigade didn't say anything, but there are a lot of them. According to the reconnaissance brigade's rough estimate, it should be around [-] vehicles!"

Lin Yuan thought: "Two hundred! My God, our reconnaissance didn't find them! How did they develop tanks? Our tanks have been around for a long time, and all the big powers know about tanks, especially It's Russia, they were beaten by our tanks in the war in Outer Mongolia, and they will definitely increase their efforts to develop tanks."

"Japan and Russia are already allies who wear a pair of pants. Russia's research results may be shared with Japan. It is not surprising that Japan has produced tanks, but I don't know the performance of the Japanese tanks?"

Lin Yuan was thinking about it, but suddenly thought of a problem, that is, his troops were not equipped with anti-armor weapons. Although the troops were equipped with individual bazookas and rockets, those rockets used either anti-injury warheads or blasting warheads. It can be used to kill the vital forces of the enemy and destroy fortifications, but it is more than enough to deal with heavy tank armor!

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately asked, "Did the division's reconnaissance brigade meet the Japanese army?"

Zhou Xiao said: "No! The division's reconnaissance brigade knew that they were not equipped with anti-armor weapons, and immediately withdrew from the battle after discovering that the Japanese army used tanks."

Lin Yuan said, "Very well, that's how it should be! Where is your tank battalion?"

Zhou Xiao said: "It is estimated that there will be another hour to arrive at the battlefield."

Lin Yuan thought: "In half an hour, the Japanese army broke through the defensive line and marched another three kilometers. According to this speed calculation, they should arrive at Kaishantun within half an hour. After arriving at Kaishantun, they will leave us. The reinforcements are not far away, and they are all motorized infantry, and there will definitely be a lot of casualties when attacking the enemy's tanks, so the only solution for now is to retreat."

Lin Yuan then said: "Order the troops to withdraw first! Wait until the tank troops arrive."

Zhou Xiao then issued an order to withdraw the reinforcements and let the tank battalion attack. Lin Yuan then ordered the Independent First Brigade and the Second Independent Brigade to move to the Second Division to reinforce the Second Independent Division.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lin Yuan received a message from the Second Division: "The Japanese troops have occupied Kaishantun, and now they have stopped attacking and are stationed outside the village. Kaishan Tun's Beishan garrison."

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Lin Yuan received another message from the Second Division: "Our defenders found fires everywhere in Kaishan Village. We suspect that the Japanese army is setting fire to the house."

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought: "The Japanese army must not be as simple as burning down houses, they must still be massacring our compatriots!"

At this time Zhou Xiao asked: "Shuai Lin, should we take rescue action?"

Lin Yuan said: "Don't act for now, you don't have anti-armor weapons at all, rushing there with a rush of blood will not only fail to save the folks, but also risk your own life!"

Zhou Xiao said: "Then shall we just watch our compatriots being killed?"

Lin Yuan said loudly: "Zhou Xiao, please remember that you are now a commander, commanding a main division, and you are no longer an ordinary soldier in the special forces! At this time, you must Keep calm!"

Zhou Xiao said helplessly: "Okay, I understand!" Then he said unwillingly: "Then can I order the tank troops to attack them?"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to agree, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately said, "No! You don't want to order the tank troops to engage the enemy just yet!"

Zhou Xiao asked in surprise, "Isn't it okay for the tank troops to take action themselves?"

Lin Yuan said: "We don't know the specific performance of the Japanese tanks now. Our tanks are not equipped with anti-armor weapons. We don't know how much effort it will take to knock out the enemy's tanks by bombarding them with high-explosive grenades and anti-personnel shells." Destroy it, and the enemy knows that we have tanks when designing tank weapons, so they will definitely design anti-armor weapons in a targeted manner. We have seen the armor-piercing bombs used by the Japanese army in previous battles. We have reason to believe that , Japanese tanks also have armor-piercing shells.”

"And the tanks equipped by your division are simplified tanks without night vision equipment and high-performance fire control systems, so your tanks do not have the advantage of being discovered by the enemy in the dark. Without knowing the performance of the enemy tanks, It is very dangerous for you to rush out, I will immediately ask the arsenal to produce armor-piercing bullets and armor-piercing bullets for killing the enemy's armor, and wait until they are produced to equip you before attacking."

Lin Yuan put down the microphone, and immediately contacted the arsenal. The student who received Lin Yuan was a student of weapons expert Luo Chaoying. He said to Lin Yuan, "Shuai Lin, what can I do with Mr. Luo?"

Lin Yuan said: "The Japanese army used tanks. I want to discuss with Mr. Luo about anti-armor weapons."

Luo Chaoying's student said: "It turns out that Teacher Luo has fallen asleep. The doctor said that his blood pressure is relatively high and he needs to rest more. Can I call him for you?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Old Luo is getting old, so don't wake him up so late." So Lin Yuan said, "Then write this down and tell him tomorrow."

Luo Chaoying's student said: "Shuai Lin, do you have data on enemy tanks, especially armor data? If there is no armor data, we will not be able to start our design."

Lin Yuan said: "I don't have the data now, so let's design it according to the protection ability of the first armor is equivalent to [-]mm homogeneous steel plate." After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan thought: "In my time, during World War II The maximum thickness of the tank's main armor is no more than [-]mm, so if it is designed with an armor level of [-]mm, it shouldn't be a big problem."

At this time, Zhou Xiao sent another message: "Shuai Lin, the Japanese army is slaughtering our compatriots in the village!"

Lin Yuan was furious when he heard it, but he warned himself in his heart: "Don't be impulsive! The troops in the Kaishantun area may not be the opponents of the Japanese tanks! Attacking rashly will only bring unnecessary casualties to ourselves!"

Hearing that Lin Yuan hadn't spoken, Zhou Xiao continued, "Shuai Lin, give the order quickly, do you know that the Japanese tanks are chasing and killing our compatriots, and they don't shoot at all, but drive the tanks Go and crush our compatriots! It’s like chasing chickens and ducks, and I heard from the compatriots who escaped: The little devils are still insulting women in the village, and many women have been tortured to death by them!"

Lin Yuan suppressed his anger, and said: "You all hold back, we must avenge this revenge, but not now, the day of our revenge is later!"
