Chapter 570: Sadahiro Ueno II
readx; It can be said that "Ben's anti-tank firepower even surpasses that of the Chinese Army, because the Chinese Army is not facing a great tank threat, so each infantry division is equipped with only a small amount of anti-tank firepower, and most of them are also used as small-caliber infantry suppression artillery in actual combat, and anti-tank combat has only been used in exercises against its own tanks, and has not been used in real foreign wars."

What is interesting here is that the Chinese Army and the Chinese Army are equipped with a large number of anti-tank guns are the same kind, that is, the PAK18 anti-tank gun developed by Germany in the middle of World War I, this 37 mm anti-tank gun can be quickly copied by various countries with excellent surnames, and China and China are no exception. In addition to the PAK18 anti-tank gun, China also has 45-mm anti-tank guns, while the 'Ben' has 47-mm anti-tank guns.
Ueno Sadahiro was originally a member of the anti-tank brigade of the 6th Division, and the 6th Division sent troops to reinforce Yiju County, so Ueno Sadahiro's anti-tank squadron came here with another squadron. Since last night, the 1st Armored Division has had a poor view in the dark and does not know the reality of the enemy, so it has suspended the pace of attack, and has chosen to build after midnight and wait for dawn before attacking. However, this night, the 1st Armored Division also sent a small number of troops to carry out a tentative attack, although this kind of tentative attack of hundreds of people and hundreds of people could not achieve any practical results, but it effectively made the army not rest well all night, as evidenced by Ueno Sadaho's bloodshot eyes.
The fog was so thick in the early hours of the morning that it was impossible to see clearly from a distance of hundreds of meters, although there were constantly explosions in the dense fog, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the roar of hundreds of tanks charging together was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Listening to the roar of the tank in the thick fog, Ueno Sadaho looked at the black shadow in the dense fog and cursed in his mouth: "Yaga, the fog is too thick, and it is impossible to aim at a long distance!" ”
And at this time, a captain of the 23rd Infantry Wing also hurriedly ran over: "Why don't you fire yet, wait for them to rush over!" ”
Ueno Zhenhao just wanted to say that the fog was too big, but as soon as he said it, he swallowed it, the dense fog is not a reason for his own disadvantage, if he can't fire because of the dense fog, then the Chinese tank can break through to within two or three hundred meters, and when the time comes, a charge will come, and it will be impossible for his side to block it.
In the European war, the tank is no longer a new commodity, and the tactical concept of infantry and tank coordination tactics and tanks breaking through infantry trench positions has popularized the armies of the great powers, saying, "Although the army is not equipped with tanks, it attaches great importance to anti-tanks, otherwise it would not have been equipped with a large number of anti-tank firepower earlier than the Chinese army."
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, our department will immediately launch an anti-tank operation!" ”
Immediately ignoring the people of the 23rd Infantry Wing, Ueno Sadahiro directly gave an order to the anti-tank tank tank group behind him: "Aim and fire each!" ”
With the issuance of Ueno Sadahiro's order, the various anti-tank artillery groups of the Japanese army also began to fire at the charging Chinese tank troops, and at this time not only had professional anti-tank gun firepower, but even the field guns lowered their muzzles and carried out anti-tank warfare by flat-fire methods.
It has to be said that the anti-tank firepower attached to the army is extremely strong, and more than 20 anti-tank guns were deployed on the front of just one thousand meters, but the Chinese tanks attacking them were not only a few dozen or so, but dozens of hundreds more, and the entire tank regiment was up to more than 100 tanks under the cover of the infantry, and before the attack, there was a dense fog cover at dawn and it was successfully advanced into several hundred meters, and when the anti-tank fire of the army was intercepted, The Chinese tank units were already only two or three hundred meters away from the positions of the Japanese army.
This distance may be an unsurmountable distance for an infantry charge, but it is not a big problem for a tank charge, especially when there are more than a hundred tanks charging collectively, Ueno Sadaho almost shocked his jaw when he saw so many tanks appear in front of him.
Shut down
In the previous years of the European war, although all countries attached great importance to tanks, the use of tanks in European countries was still scattered among various infantry divisions to provide cover for infantry charges. In their opinion, no matter how many Chinese tanks there are, it is impossible to concentrate hundreds of tanks in the small county of Yiju, at most a division with more than a dozen tanks. In this case, the anti-tank fire of the 23rd Infantry Wing was sufficient. But he never imagined that China would use all its tanks in a pile, and put hundreds of tanks at a time on this small front, which is less than a kilometer long.
Ueno watched the tanks rushing towards his position all over the mountains, and almost had the illusion that the Chinese tanks in front of him were almost endless.
After the troops under Ueno Sadahiro achieved the result of destroying five tanks, the Chinese tank units had already rushed to the front of the Japanese army's position, and then the machine gun fire on the tanks suppressed the infantry at the same time, the tank guns also continued to fire at the position of the Japanese army, hundreds of tanks were hundreds of tank guns, and a small infantry wing could not resist this kind of crushing charge. The huge tank used its superior cross-country ability to directly run over the body of the soldiers, crossed the trenches, and swept directly through the positions almost like a strong wind.
When Ueno Zhenhao screamed loudly, he personally successfully destroyed a T6 tank with a 37mm anti-tank gun, a Chinese tank not far away was aimed at him, and after a few seconds of flames on the tank gun, Ueno Zhenhao's side exploded, Ueno Zhenhao was like a kite with a broken string, and the shock wave of the explosion was pushed out several meters away, and after falling to the ground, Ueno Zhenhao felt severe pain all over his body, and he couldn't move when he struggled to get up, and he sat up after half a sound, At this time, there was already a large amount of blood flowing out of his abdomen, apparently from shrapnel. Sadahiro Ueno, who struggled to sit up, leaned his back against a barbed wire stake, and then opened his eyes to see the numerous tanks crossing the trenches.
The blood was draining heavily and quickly, and Ueno felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and then closed his eyes in the roar of the tank, and this closure never opened again.
At the same time, not far away, the infantry of the Second Motorized Infantry Regiment who were charging with the tanks were also cautiously and slowly approaching the trenches of the Japanese army, although there were tanks staring ahead, but the tanks were not omnipotent, and it was impossible to kill all the soldiers of the Japanese army.
Therefore, it is also a dangerous job to charge with the tank, and if you are not careful, you will be shot, and in addition, you have to guard against the soldiers approaching and blowing up the tank with grenades and other means.
This kind of thing has already appeared on the Dandong front, in the face of the charge of the Chinese tanks, the army soon fully carried forward the spirit of meat and bombs, and sent dead soldiers with a large number of grenades or explosives bags to blow up the Chinese tanks, as long as the tracks of the Chinese tanks could be blown up, then the infantry of the Yue army could use their accurate marksmanship to kill the escaped Chinese tank soldiers one by one.
In order to avoid this from happening, the infantry must accompany the charge to provide cover for the tank when it is charging.
And now when Ueno Sadaho's anti-tank squadron was wiped out, in order to block the advance of the Chinese tanks, the 23rd Infantry Wing also organized an infantry anti-tank charge, and they also let them blow up two or three tanks, but this is just a small wave in this battle, the army is only one 23rd Infantry Wing here, and it is impossible to block the attack of the 1st Armored Division, so in just half an hour, the defense line of the 23rd Infantry Wing has been broken through, An hour later, the 23rd Infantry Wing had begun to gather the remnants and retreat.
When the 23rd Infantry Wing retreated, the 1st Armored Division did not stay in place, and did not even pay attention to the wounded soldiers and scattered routs of the army.
The 1st Armored Division had just left, and the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, which had given the 1st Armored Division a rear, or the 1st Motorized Division, which had cleaned up the battlefield, also came up in time, and this time it was the 13th Regiment that came, and the 13th Regiment quickly cleared the scattered routs of the army and accepted prisoners.
And at this time, a sergeant also found Ueno Zhenhao who had become a corpse, this sergeant looked not young, he should be in his thirties, he was still in the army at this age and was the rank of sergeant, obviously an old fritter who had been mixed with the army for many years, this person walked up to Ueno Zhenhao with a big grin, and at first he approached cautiously with a gun, but he was relieved to see that Ueno Zhenhao who was leaning on a wooden stake was motionless, and after walking in, the sergeant let out a surprise: "It's still a captain, it seems that my Lao Li is lucky!" ”
Immediately, he quickly pulled out several trophies from Ueno Sadaho, a 26-year revolver, an army 32-year saber, a telescope, and a few other odds and ends.
"Yes, it's still a family heirloom!" Sergeant Li pulled out the saber, although the style of this saber is the same as all the officers' sabers are 32 years, but this blade is obviously not an inferior product from the arsenal, and there is an inscription on the knife body: "Taiyu"
"Lao Li, I'm not welcome!" Sergeant Li took the saber and put Ueno Sadahiro's pistol and pocket watch into the combat backpack, and then looked at other bits and pieces, and saw that there was a small book on it, and it was not a battle plan or other content when I picked it up, but there was a dense text, and there was a two-inch black and white photo in the middle of the book, in which Ueno Sadahiro was dressed in a military uniform, standing sideways with a saber, and next to him was a young woman in a kimono, and the woman was holding a girl who was about four years old. There was a six- or seven-year-old boy standing in front of him.
"This said, 'This girl is quite beautiful, much stronger than my yellow-faced woman, if you hit it, you have to grab a few of them!'" The smiling Sergeant Li showed his yellow teeth, and then directly put the photo and the notebook in his pocket.
