Zhao Lindong can only rely on himself, and right now, this Singapore battle is his Zhao Lindong's opportunity!

Standing beside Zhao Lindong was the captain and company commander of the third company of the tank battalion of the 43rd Division, and the two of them were talking about detailed tactics at this time!

While they were discussing detailed tactics, the artillerymen continued to bombard the positions of the Japanese troops in front of them, and a new wave of air support planes had arrived and strafed and bombed in order to support the infantry units in the ensuing attack.

However, the opposing army is aimed at a strong fortress, whether it is long-range artillery or air support, it is difficult to destroy a large number of defensive fortresses in a short period of time, and to really break through here, it has to rely on the attack of infantry troops and tank troops.

Sergeant Li outside didn't wait long before he saw that his company commander had returned!

"We've discussed it with the 4312 battalion, and we'll attack from here! According to the fire reconnaissance launched by the 4312 battalion some time ago, the defensive strength of the Yue army here is relatively weak, and the original several fixed fire points have been destroyed by long-range heavy artillery. ”

When the tank troops launched an attack, the only thing that could pose a threat to the tanks was the enemy's anti-tank firepower, and to be honest, it was said that 'my infantry anti-tank firepower is still relatively strong, and there are a lot of infantry anti-tank guns, this is because it is said that 'Ben has long faced the threat of a large number of China's armored forces, and their own armored forces cannot keep up with the pace of development of China's armored forces, so they have always attached great importance to infantry anti-tank firepower since the twenties, and this tradition has not changed until the outbreak of the Pacific War. Because after the outbreak of the Pacific War, although there were many battles for islands between Ben and the United States, the main battlefield of the ground forces on both sides was still on the Australian side, and the terrain in Australia was not as complicated as the islands, and the British, American and Australian armies were equipped with a large number of tanks, and although there were many tanks in the more than 2 million Australian armies, the main force of the anti-tank was still infantry, so after the outbreak of the Pacific War, it was said that the infantry anti-tank firepower of the army was not weakened. It's strengthened a lot.

If we talk purely about infantry anti-tank firepower, we say: "This army can be regarded as the world's first-class level, and the anti-tank capability of ordinary infantry divisions is not much weaker than that of the Chinese army."

After all, it is said that "I am also a major participant in World War II, but in Australia I have fought with the British and American coalition forces for two or three years and have not fallen behind, although the degree of mechanization is far behind the British and American coalition forces and the Chinese army, but it does not mean that people have no ability at all, in some aspects it is still quite good, such as the infantry's long-distance shooting level, if the infantry shoots at a simple counterpoint, it is said that 'this soldier can accurately shoot British and American soldiers at a distance of two or three hundred meters, The British and American soldiers could only rely on the dense fire of semi-automatic rifles to resist.

Of course, the greatest reliance of the Anglo-American coalition is the heavy firepower that far exceeds the Japanese army.

This situation also occurred in the confrontation between China and the "Ben", and China had the advantage of firepower in the face of the "Ben", but it was still slightly inferior in terms of the specific quality of individual soldiers, and it was certainly not possible to play with rifles at long distances.

And the reason for this situation is also related to the difference in the concept of infantry between the two countries, China has been pursuing superior firepower, and has replaced the 1916 bolt-action rifle with the 1937 semi-automatic rifle, and is also widely equipped with submachine guns, but also said 'I knew that I couldn't afford to play with superior firepower, after all, submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles bring intensive firepower and also represent greater ammunition consumption, so I can't afford to play simply don't play and attach extreme importance to individual shooting ability, Pursue rifle hits at medium to long range and take out an enemy with a single shot!

If the army had a large number of infantry anti-tank firepower, it would not have to be too high-end, and a few 57-mm anti-tank guns would have caused a lot of trouble to the tank company to which Sergeant Lee belonged.

After all, although the T16 tank also weighs eighteen tons, it is designed as a southern tank after all, and in order to strengthen the firepower, it is equipped with a 75 mm tank gun, and at the same time attaches great importance to mobile ability, so it is relatively poor in terms of protection, but it cannot be compared with the T15, a northern main battle tank.

With its protective capabilities, there is still a large amount of anti-tank fire that can bring damage to it.

"If there is not much anti-tank fire in this direction at the moment, then we can be the first to break through from this area and lead the infantry brothers to capture this position, and then the brothers of the infantry battalion will use this gap as a basis to expand to both sides! For us, as long as we can cover the brothers of the infantry battalion to break through this position, it is a job done! ”

After the captain and company commander gave some explanations, and then arranged the combat missions of the four tank platoons in detail, in order to increase the density of firepower for the strong attack, this time the tank companies did not disperse, but gathered together to prepare for the charge!

At present, this kind of tank and infantry cooperation is a little different from the tank battle of people's imagination, most people think that the enemy of the tank is the enemy's tank, and will often encounter the enemy tank and start a tank battle in the battle, but in actual combat, the pure battle between the two tanks is very rare, and the vast majority of the situation is to attack today, where the tank provides cover for the infantry.

As for the kind of large-scale decisive battle with hundreds of tanks together, it can only be seen on the Soviet-German battlefield!

This is not to say that China or the United States has fewer tanks than them, on the contrary, China and the United States have many more tanks than them, but China and the United States do not have the opportunity to fight this kind of tank war.

Therefore, the vast majority of tank operations are like today, mainly small-scale, infantry-tank coordination.

But then again, the biggest enemy of the tank is actually the enemy's tank, because the defense capability of the tank is too incomprehensible for the infantry, and the infantry anti-tank firepower cannot be too large, the current Chinese Army's infantry anti-tank gun has a maximum caliber of only 75 mm, and even T15 cannot be penetrated, let alone a new generation of T18 or T17 heavy tanks, and the most widely used anti-tank guns in various countries are still based on the two grades of 37 mm and 57 mm, Among them, the effect of the 37-mm anti-tank gun is already very weak, and the power of the 57-mm anti-tank gun is also okay, and the effect against the German No. 4, the Soviet Russia's T34, the Chinese T9/12, and the United States' M3/M4 are all good, after all, the infantry anti-tank guns are generally the first to fire at close range, and generally give priority to attacking enemy tanks.

Therefore, when the tank unit encounters the enemy's infantry anti-tank fire position of more than 57 mm, it will have a headache, after all, if they rush directly like this, they will not be able to give priority to discovering the enemy's hidden antitank guns, and they can only wait for others to open fire before they can return fire.

Now that there is such a piece of "this position, the heavy firepower of this position is weakened, then this tank company naturally chooses this direction as the main assault direction, even if there is a reinforcement of this infantry, but for tanks, simple infantry is not much of an enemy, machine gun strafing and even crushing can easily win, and there is also their own infantry protection behind, so there is no need to worry about the enemy's infantry hand-to-hand anti-tank combat."

After the tank company and the 4312 battalion rested for about an hour, the tank of the tank company was launched, and Sergeant Lee climbed into the tank and followed the car of the commander of the tank platoon.

"Turning around the foot of this hill is the enemy's position, pay attention to all vehicles!" At this time, the platoon commander's voice was transmitted to Sergeant Li's ears through the earphones, and the walkie-talkie equipped on the tank can make real-time and convenient communication between tanks on the battlefield, which can be regarded as an important progress in the tank force. China's leadership in electrification has led to the widespread deployment of radios in China, and the short-range real-time intercom system, the walkie-talkie, has been widely available since the late thirties.

Sergeant Lee's T16 tank followed the tanks in front of them, and when they crossed the foot of this small mountain, they ushered in an open area, which was more than 200 meters long, and the terrain was not very good, with many muddy puddles.

Looking at the terrain in front of him, Sergeant Li knew why the huge 4312 Battalion couldn't rush through here, because the open area of more than 200 meters was the best hunting place at all.

"Horsepower up, keep up!" Sergeant Lee shouted loudly, and at the same time he kept using his periscope to observe the positions of the Syrian army in front of him, trying to find those hidden firing points of the Japanese army.

He knew that there would definitely be anti-tank fire in the positions of the army in front, even if there were no 57-millimeter anti-tank guns, but there should be anti-tank guns or bazookas. Anti-tank guns are nothing, but the bazooka is not easy to deal with, speaking of this bazooka is actually from China's bazooka, China's bazooka was in service in the thirties, and in 1941 it was used on a large scale on the Russian battlefield, but not only for the Chinese Army, but also for the Russian Army, and after the war, the bazooka was first copied by Soviet Russia, and then copied by Germany. Then immediately after Britain and the United States also copied it, so after 1941, almost overnight, the weapon of bazooka spread all over the world, and they could be seen in the armies of various countries.

Speaking of which, the bazooka is the second weapon that China has brought to the world in recent decades, the first is naturally the mortar, the mortars that circulated in China during World War I were quickly installed in the armies of various countries, and then for decades it has been the support firepower of the core battalion and below the level of the armies of various countries, and then it is this bazooka, which has been circulated overnight and quickly installed in the armies of various countries, as for other more important weapons, such as aircraft carriers, tanks, although China has developed early, However, it is not said that China caused the trend, because when China developed these weapons, other countries were also developing them, which is not original to China and caused the trend.

Sergeant Lee searched with a periscope for a long time, and suddenly he shouted: "Ten o'clock direction, five hundred distances, enemy anti-tank guns!" ”
