Chapter 260: Divine Artillery Fights Tanks
The Japanese tanks came, and it turned out that not one or two, but thirteen!
Seeing the tanks that could already be called tank clusters, the people on the gun emplacements were silent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the tank didn't look big from 600 meters away, the kind of oppression that brought Zheng Youjian made him involuntarily think of the situation when he used an anti-aircraft machine gun to shoot planes, and the sky became narrow when the sky was full of planes.
Zheng Youjian still plays the role of gunner, responsible for adjusting the high and low handwheels and firing the cannon, Huo Xiaoshan is responsible for adjusting the direction of the handwheel, and Shen Chong is responsible for loading armor-piercing shells.
Huo Xiaoshan had already aimed the muzzle of the gun at the front tank through the steering handwheel, but Zheng Youjian did not move.
Huo Xiaoshan glanced at Zheng Youjian, and saw that Zheng Youjian's eyes looked ahead through the scope and did not put his hand on the handwheel that he should have placed, and his hand was still trembling slightly.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't say anything to Zheng Youjian immediately, but turned around and asked Shen Chong, "Have we done all those preparations?" β
"It's done." Shen Chong, who was squatting next to the shell box, replied that he should always be ready to load the shell.
He was a little strange, and wanted to say why you asked like this, didn't you personally inspect those preparations when the Japanese tanks didn't come?
Shen Chong's position of loading the shell could not see Zheng Youjian's front, so he didn't know that Zheng Youjian was nervous now, Huo Xiaoshan just talked to him and told Zheng Youjian not to be too nervous.
Huo Xiaoshan's interruption really worked, Zheng Youjian let out a long breath, Huo Xiaoshan obviously felt that Zheng Youjian was more relaxed than just now.
"It turns out that I haven't used an anti-aircraft machine gun to hit a plane, and I thought it was amazing, but I didn't expect it to break when I poked it, it turned out that as long as I found a way, that thing would be papier-mΓ’chΓ©." Huo Xiaoshan didn't look at Zheng Youjian, his eyes were aimed at the tank that had probably rushed into the distance of five hundred meters, as if he was just talking to himself.
The reason why he said that it was very likely was that he could not use the soil method to measure the range, and there was a protective steel plate in front of the battle defense gun, although he could see the tank by looking at the hole, but there was an error in the distance.
Zheng Youjian didn't answer, he took another long breath, and then his hand was put on the high and low handwheel he was responsible for and began to adjust the lifting angle of the cannon barrel.
Then, Zheng Youjian said: "The one in the middle, turn to the right." β
His voice was a little hoarse.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't ask Zheng Youjian how many meters the tank had entered, but he knew that it should have entered the firing range.
The Japanese tanks were getting closer and closer, and Huo Xiaoshan kept adjusting the level of the muzzle and distracted a little attention to Zheng Youjian.
He felt that Zheng Youjian had relaxed, and his carrot-thick fingers kept fine-tuning the upper and lower positions of the muzzle.
It's hard to imagine a man with such thick fingers and such dexterity, just like a man with big hands and feet can wear a sweater.
Zheng Youjian was very focused, as if he had forgotten what Huo Xiaoshan said to him just now, and he had forgotten that he was on the battlefield of life and death, as if he was like a girl living in the depths of the boudoir depicting female red.
The young officer, who was in the same pit but was not in the gun position, saw that the Japanese tanks were getting closer and closer, and he estimated that he was almost 300 meters away, and he wondered why this obscene fat man, who he did not have a good impression, did not load the shells and open fire.
But he can't speak, and he must trust others when the battle defense gun is handed over to others, although he has begun to doubt whether this fat man will fight the war defense artillery.
At first, he thought that the main gunner should be Huo Xiaoshan, but when this obscene fat man squatted in the position of the main gunner, he was stunned, and to his surprise, Huo Xiaoshan did not object, as if he took it for granted.
The roar of the tank cluster was already clearly audible, and the heavy machine gun in the turret of the tank was about to start firing when an anxious mood began to spread in the position of the Northwest Army, Zheng Youjian suddenly shouted: "Shells!" β
Shen Chong, who was already squatting behind Zheng Youjian, stretched out his hand to pick up a cannonball, lowered his waist and reached behind Zheng Youjian with both hands, and sent the tracer armor-piercing bullet into the cannon chamber with a forceful forward.
Zheng Youjian closed the bolt with a flick of his hand, and without hesitation, he pressed the launch button located on the handwheel of the high and low machine.
With a "boom", the moment the tracer armor-piercing projectile was ejected, the entire gun body instantly retreated backwards due to the reaction force, but was stubbornly held in place by the standing hoe behind the gun.
Three hundred meters away, in a time difference that no one could perceive, a Japanese Xiaodou tank that was rushing towards the Chinese position at high speed was hit.
Its thin armor no more than 10mm could not withstand the sharpness of 37mm armor-piercing shells, and its riveted body was torn apart in an instant and turned into a pile of rotten iron!
"The first one on the left, cannonballs!" Zheng Youjian shouted again.
His words fell, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army who witnessed all this in the trenches reacted and let out a sky-shattering applause.
The three people on the gun emplacements were not affected by the applause at all, and the muzzle of the gun was adjusted to the shell of the shell, and a few seconds later there was another bombardment, and another Japanese tank was torn apart by armor-piercing shells!
"The one on the right, cannonballs!" ...... "Boom! "In less than a minute, the three tanks at the head of the Japanese army were all torn apart by the sharp armor-piercing shells of the war defense artillery!
"Good!!" The applause of the soldiers of the Northwest Army was even louder, and the happiness came so suddenly, they all couldn't believe their eyes!
The tanks behind had already begun to turn around, and the Japanese tanks were so frightened that they actually began to run away!
"Cannonballs!" Zheng Youjian shouted again, the shell was fed, and the bolt was closed with a "bang", but he didn't press the button, because he was waiting for the angle, he was waiting for the opportunity, because the front was blocked by the hit tank.
"The last one on the left!" Zheng Youjian shouted, and Huo Xiaoshan pulled the direction handwheel and the muzzle was in place instantly.
"Boom" is another cannon, in order to avoid the tank that has been scrapped in front, this cannon was adjusted a little higher by Zheng Youjian, but it happened to hit the turret of that tank, so the "head" of that tank disappeared in an instant, leaving only a chassis with black smoke as if to make the final mourning for its owner!
"Four, four!" The Chinese soldiers in the trenches could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, and a few veterans forgot that this was the frontier, and actually jumped up in the trenches and threw their guns into the sky.
Yesterday, just yesterday, one of the devil's tanks crushed seventy of our good brothers, but today they have been punished! They were knocked out of four! No! It's five! , because while they were cheering, another Japanese tank was beaten into a pile of scrap metal by the battle defense artillery!!
"Quickly call someone to pull the battle defense cannon back!"
"Inform the grenadier team to prepare, and keep an eye on the devil who dares to come over and release the grenade!"
Huo Xiaoshan shouted one after another, he didn't have time to celebrate with the soldiers of the Northwest Army, he had to guard against the retaliatory artillery fire of the Japanese army.
Five minutes later, several Japanese grenades landed exactly where the defender's original anti-aircraft guns were firing, and then ...... There was no more, because the soldiers who came to fight the grenadiers of the Japanese army were immediately killed by the grenadier squad of the quartermaster department.
Seven minutes later, the Japanese heavy artillery rang out, and the original battle anti-artillery position turned into a sea of fire.
At this time, Zheng Youjian, the fat man Zheng Youjian, who had already hid in a safe area, said to Huo Xiaoshan seriously for the first time in his life: "Huo boy, you are right, you have found the right way, that thing is paper paste!" β
At this time, all the Japanese tanks that had escaped from the range of the anti-aircraft guns had stopped.
The commander and ammunition man in the tank had already drilled out and stood on top of the tank, they looked at the wreckage of the five tanks that were still smoking from a distance, their eyes were depressed, they didn't know when the Chinese army actually had such a tank-fighting artifact that made their charioteers cry!
(Note: "Let the charioteers cry" is the original phrase of the evaluation of the Japanese army invading China on the use of 37 anti-aircraft guns by the Chinese army. )
