Chapter 339

At this moment, the head of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army held up his binoculars, watching the outer walls of the fortress peeling off piece by piece, feeling the sound of the bunker shaking, his whole body was shaking, and there were cold sweat on his forehead pour down.

Armor Piercing...

All armor-piercing rounds.

Moreover, from the shell fragments remaining on the outer wall of the fortress, he saw the black material on the fragments shattered by the violent explosion.

He knows this material!As a lieutenant general, his knowledge is naturally not low.

That is not the black paint applied to the casing of the shell, but the material color of the shell itself.

So what material is pure black?

The answer is simple, tungsten alloy!
Tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles with a caliber of more than 200 mm!
Seeing this scene, the lieutenant general roared crazily in his heart.

No, this is an armor-piercing bullet!
Tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile!
The price of one shot is more than ten times that of ordinary shells, five times that of ordinary alloy steel armor-piercing bullets, and it is extremely difficult to process and produce tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets!

Although several arsenals in the empire have successfully researched this thing, they are not equipped with troops, not even a small amount of hunting suits.As for why?It's not because it's too expensive and the production resources are scarce.

Missing tungsten!
This is a good thing that even the horse manure of the navy is not equipped with!

Moreover, this type of shell is extremely expensive to barrel. Ordinary high-explosive shells need to replace the barrel after firing 150 rounds, while tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells need to be replaced up to [-] rounds, otherwise the accuracy will be greatly reduced.

Where did you get the money from?
Who produced these shells with your technology and materials?Also, there are so many cannons from you!
The devil howled madly in his heart!

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

The armor-piercing projectiles are very strong, especially those made of tungsten alloy that is so hard to die, but after all, they only have a caliber of [-] mm, and the main fortress has two layers of concrete that are more than one meter thick. The outer wall exploded, but the small number of shells did limited damage to the fortress.

In order to completely destroy a main fortress, at least a few thousand rounds of shells need to be directly hit. According to the hit rate of heavy artillery at fifteen kilometers, the opponent needs to fire at least [-] rounds of such heavy armor-piercing shells.

This should be impossible, tungsten alloy shells are so expensive... Lieutenant General Devil thought to himself.

But two hours later, the devil's lieutenant general was stunned.

As he expected, the Eighth Route Army's battle plan was like this.

First of all, expensive tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles were used to suppress and destroy the outer walls and cannons of the fortress. After all, shells with extremely strong armor-piercing ability can effectively destroy the exposed heavy artillery of the fortress.

After suppressing the heavy artillery, they will switch to ordinary artillery shells to mainly bombard his marginal positions, clearing the area around the main fortress, and then use a large number of infantry under the powerful artillery fire of the four fortresses to attack the remaining tunnels and bunkers one by one with a lot of casualties. Come down, and finally, with the fire support of heavy artillery, they paid 10,000+ casualties and pulled out the four fortresses one by one.

And myself, after killing hundreds of thousands of the Eighth Route Army, with the support of rear reinforcements and fighter planes, I retreated happily...
But obviously, the facts were completely contrary to what he expected, and even surpassed the lieutenant general's imagination for a time.

The opponent's shelling has always been aimed at a main fortress to death, and even used armor-piercing bullets from beginning to end, and all of them were tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets!
Moreover, according to the report of the reconnaissance plane, there are more and more cannons on the opposite side.

At first it was two hundred cannons, now it has become three hundred cannons.

The Lieutenant General stiffly put down the telescope in his hand. He had been holding it for two hours, and his hands were sore. At the same moment, there was a sudden violent sound of collapsing.

The main fortress of No. [-], that is, the fortress that had been under fire, finally collapsed.

And it collapsed from the inside out.

Facing two hours of continuous bombardment, it was finally smashed into pieces bit by bit, and the whole thing was broken and collapsed. The internal structure was shattered by the tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells that penetrated into the fort one by one.

The 130mm armor-piercing projectile weighing 203 kilograms penetrates deeply enough to pierce through steel plate concrete with a thickness of several meters. However, the explosive power is actually very low, and only three kilograms of RDX are installed inside.

But the power and destruction of the internal explosion and the external explosion are not at the same level. This is like the gap between punching you and stabbing you with the same force.It's completely different.

The fortress that the devil spent a lot of materials to build was smashed to pieces by Ling Chi.Even the internal structure was shattered by the armor-piercing bullets that penetrated into the fort one by one.

Internal structures were damaged, pillars broke and load-bearing walls collapsed.In the end, the fortress lost its support and collapsed leaving a big pit, which buried the devils inside deeply underground.

Buried alive!

Looking at the collapsed No. [-] Fortress, and looking at the watch on his wrist, a touch of data appeared in the devil's mind.

The opponent's shelling has continued for two hours.

Judging from the sound, the firing speed of the opponent's heavy artillery is two rounds per minute, and the two-hour shelling, even without counting the [-] artillery pieces that came later, and only counting the first [-] heavy artillery pieces, the opponent also fired more than [-] artillery pieces. Fifty thousand rounds.

Moreover, all are tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles.They are all tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles with a caliber of more than [-]!
According to the cost of the Imperial Factory, the price of a large-caliber tungsten alloy shell is comparable to that of a cannon, and the cost is about [-] yen.After all, the material of this thing is expensive, and the processing is extremely difficult. In this era when special alloy smelting technology is far from advanced in later generations, the cost of a tungsten alloy shell is mainly due to the difficult smelting process, which will consume a lot of manpower.

Then, 2 rounds of large-caliber armor-piercing projectiles, which is more than [-] million yen, plus the damaged barrel and propellant, oh, the other party launched a Yamato battleship!

In an instant, the lieutenant general's mentality collapsed!

He has a permanent division, and his annual military expenditure is not so much!
Just when Lieutenant General Guizi was shocked by the price of this bombardment, the shelling positions in the distance finally stopped. Lieutenant General Guizi breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could soothe his nervous heart, he took a short breath. Tone, the reconnaissance plane brought bad news, which made his heart rise again.

The opponent is replacing the barrel!

Moreover, there are still a large number of shells being transported continuously.

The lieutenant general stiffened all of a sudden.

Swallowing his saliva, the devil's heart turned rapidly, thinking about the countermeasures.

Artillery against artillery, artillery against each other, this is the most common and common way to deal with it, but the opponent's artillery position is fifteen kilometers away from the main fortress, and this distance can only be obtained by 150 cannons and 240 caliber heavy artillery.

The 150 cannon is a flat-firing cannon with a straight trajectory, and the opponent is separated by a mountain, so it can't hit it. As for the poor 240 cannon, although it is powerful, it has a long history, and its range is only [-] kilometers, so it can't reach it!

Therefore, artillery battles are ruled out first.

Followed by air force bombing, the condescension of the aircraft is almost easy to deal with the artillery positions.

However, there are many problems with this method. Recently, the air force airport has been harassed by guerrillas on a large scale. Often, a bunch of mortars bombarded five kilometers apart at night, leaving the airport in a mess.

According to the latest battle report from the rear.

Last night, the airport closest to Liushutuo, which is one hundred kilometers north of Beiping, was bombarded by nearly a hundred 82 mortars from thousands of guerrillas. Although the attack of the guerrillas was finally repelled, most of them None of the shells hit the airport, but the enemy's artillery fire was too much, and the airport suffered heavy losses. Dozens of planes were destroyed, and nearly a hundred planes were injured. The artillery team and hangars were almost unable to take off to support today.

Moreover, even if the Air Force can provide support, according to reports from the reconnaissance planes, the opponent has at least 3000 anti-aircraft artillery defenses. With such a dense firepower network, it is impossible to fly below [-] meters. The most obvious proof is that his five reconnaissance planes have been destroyed. Three of them were shot down, all of which were shot down by anti-aircraft artillery. Besides, although the opponent's air force is small, it is still enough to defend an artillery position, unless he can call nearly a hundred aircraft for support at one time.Moreover, braving the intensive anti-aircraft artillery fire, attacking the enemy's artillery positions regardless of the cost.

But now, where are there nearly a hundred aircraft supporting them?

Therefore, the Air Force is also a direct pass.
In the end, and the only way that can be implemented, attack, launch an infantry attack, attack the opponent's position, and force the opponent's artillery to move, but the lieutenant general didn't even think about this idea, and he just pressed him to death.

Just kidding, risking two hundred heavy artillery to launch an attack?I'm afraid he didn't think he died fast enough!
He has a division of 120 warriors, with an attack distance of more than ten kilometers. I am afraid that thousands of rounds of heavy artillery shells will kill rice before he gets close to the opponent's defensive position. Besides, the opponent still has a large number of [-] mortars. This kind of heavy weapon that made him suffer a lot will not be forgotten.

If the infantry attack, I am afraid that the opponent's artillery alone can make the Fifth Division disappear from the world...

There is no way to fight this battle!
Thinking about it, Lieutenant General Guizi suddenly looked at his waist, where the samurai sword bestowed by the emperor hung, and now he really wanted to give himself a sword...
If you die, you're done, you don't need to suffer here.

Of course, Lieutenant General Guizi didn't want to die at this time, he still wanted to live a few more years, and he was still young at the age of 50, so Lieutenant General Guizi informed the rear headquarters of the situation here and asked to retreat.

He had just finished sending the telegram, and the artillery positions in the distance had completed the replacement of the barrels, and the barrels were raised again to project heavy tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles towards the devil's No. [-] main fortress.

Accompanied by bursts of falling, the originally solid fortress was shattered bit by bit.

One of the shots even hit the barrel of a 240mm cannon, bending the barrel abruptly.

"General, the headquarters has called back." A staff officer handed over a telegram, which was from the headquarters of the North China Front Army.

Order: Hold your ground, in order to delay the enemy's attack as much as possible, and wait for an opportunity to wipe out the enemy's vital forces, delaying the counterattack of the follow-up troops!
Seeing the order from the headquarters, the lieutenant general was so angry that he drew his samurai sword and hacked wildly.

delay?Where is this delaying time?This is sending you to death, okay?According to the opponent's style of play, within three days, his four fortresses would be blown to powder, and then the Fifth Division would definitely be wiped out.

As for annihilating the opponent's vital force, does it count as consuming the opponent's shells and barrels?
Taking a few deep breaths, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, Lieutenant General finally threw away the idea of ​​launching an infantry attack.

It is indeed a very courageous act to charge under the enemy's artillery fire. He believes that the Fifth Division under his command will also do this. As long as he gives an order, fifty thousand imperial warriors will attack bravely. .

It's just a pity that the enemy's artillery fire is too abnormal. This is not an attack, but death.

······
The airport north of Peiping.

At this time, the place was already in a mess. The originally paved airport was covered with bomb craters, and the neatly arranged planes were smashed by many bombs. Even if they were not destroyed by luck, the skin was damaged by shrapnel.

However, the destruction has not stopped at this time.

boom boom boom

An explosion sounded in the airport, and mortar shells drew arcs and landed on the runway of the airport, causing the devils at the airport to flee without even protecting the plane.

"Where is the Fifth Wing? Let them drive the guerrillas out..."

The captain of the air force brigade stationed at the airport yelled into the phone while hiding in the anti-blasting hole.

beep beep...

However, there was only a beep from the phone, which was the sound of no connection. Obviously, the phone line had been blown off.

"idiot···"

He smashed the phone in his hand, and the captain of the air force was so angry that he jumped up and down, but there was nothing he could do.

He really never thought that a mere guerrilla would dare to directly attack an airport guarded by a wing, and he never thought that the main force of a wing would be attacked head-on by the guerrillas.

Moreover, this is the second time.

Two days ago, the guerrillas came to this airport once. That time was at night, thousands of guerrillas bombarded the airport with a large number of mortars. For those who are ready to eat, nearly ten thousand mortar shells are pressed down,

Caught off guard, the airport suffered heavy losses, a large number of aircraft were destroyed, and many more were injured, but fortunately at night, a large part of the aircraft was still in stock.

Then they strengthened their defenses, but they really didn't expect that the guerrillas would dare to come a second time, and it was broad daylight, and even directly launched a frontal attack on the surrounding troops guarding the airport.

Forget it, the guerrillas have always been very courageous, but, what the hell, they were actually pierced through.

A majestic Imperial Army regiment was defeated head-on by a few guerrillas and mob guerrillas. Although the guerrillas have very powerful weapons recently, you are a team of first-line divisions.

The team guarding the airport is an infantry unit of the first-line division, and they are elite soldiers who have experienced front-line battles.

Such a powerful full-staffed infantry regiment was overthrown by the guerrillas.

Who can believe this?
