readx; "Hit, hit!" A soldier next to him shouted excitedly, not only him, but Yamashita Gentaro also clearly saw that the shells fired by the 37mm anti-tank gun under his command accurately hit the enemy shells, but they accurately hit the frontal turret position of the enemy tank.

As a veteran of anti-tank artillery in his own army, Gentaro Yamashita knows almost more about the T6 and T7 tanks equipped by the Chinese army than ordinary Chinese armored soldiers. Not to mention the T7 tank, this heavy tank with heavy armor has never been the combat target of the 37mm anti-tank gun, but there are not many T7 tanks in the Chinese Army, and there are only more than a hundred of them, and most of them are in service in Siberia, and more Chinese T6 tanks appear on the Korean battlefield.

For this kind of main tank in service that the Chinese army is equipped with a large number of active forces, it is said that the army has also studied it very deeply, and even accurately obtained most of the data of the T6 tank through the two Chinese T6 tanks captured in the last 1923 war.

Yamashita Gentaro is well aware that the protection of the T6 tanks in the Chinese army is not excellent, and if it accurately hits them at a distance of 500 meters, its own 37mm anti-tank gun will be able to penetrate the protection of their frontal armor.

But the shell just now hit not the frontal armor, but the front of the turret.

Compared with the 25 mm vertical homogeneous armor on the front of the hull, the front of the turret of the T6 tank is 30 mm of armor, and although there was no concept of inclined armor when the turret was designed, in order to reduce the weight of the turret, the frontal turret was tilted by 15 degrees.

When the 37mm anti-tank gun accurately hit the front of the T6 tank's turret, it could only leave a shallow bullet mark on the T6 tank's frontal turret.

There was no time to regret it, and Gentaro Yamashita immediately shouted: "Transfer immediately!" ”

Now that his own side has been exposed in advance, it is impossible for the Chinese tank to give him a second chance to open fire, and all he can do now is to retreat immediately.

Since you can't defeat the enemy, you have to protect yourself and the Type 81 anti-tank gun in your hand.

The 37-mm anti-tank guns equipped in this army are roughly the same as the 37-mm anti-tank guns equipped by the Chinese army and even other countries in the world, because the 37-mm anti-tank guns of various countries are copied or improved from the German PAK18 anti-tank guns at the end of World War I.

At that time, the German PAK18 anti-tank gun shined and became famous in the First World War, and its excellent surname made it possible for no other country in the entire twenties after the end of the war to develop a better anti-tank gun of the same caliber.

Although the caliber of 37 mm anti-tank guns does not have much effect in the face of heavy tanks of various countries with a heavy armor thickness of thirty or forty tons and an armor thickness of up to seventy or eighty millimeters, it is still very useful when striking tanks with armor thickness below forty millimeters. Therefore, a large number of 37 mm anti-tank guns are also equipped in the armies of various countries, and all of them are imitations of PAK anti-tank guns, even if there are a few changes, but they cannot get rid of the shadow of PAK.

China's 1919 anti-tank gun is a direct imitation of the PAK18 anti-tank gun, and in 1925 it was in service with an improved series of 1919 anti-tank guns, but this improvement is mainly to reduce the cost, but there is not much improvement for the surname.

The 81 in this number comes from the Shenwu era, and many weapons in the army are named after the last two digits of the Shenwu era, such as the 87 type tank and the 91 fighter. In addition to the Jimmu era, it is also named after the emperor's era, such as the Type 38 field artillery, the Type 41 mountain artillery, the Type 38 rifle, and so on.

Nowadays, the surnames of anti-tank guns in the caliber of 35-40 mm can be roughly the same, and no one is much stronger than whom, all of which are various imitations or variants of PAK18 anti-tank guns, but although the PAK18 series of anti-tank guns can be excellent, it has become a universal anti-tank gun of the world army in the entire twenties, but the PAK18 series of anti-tank guns have been on the market for more than ten years, and its too small caliber is destined to have limited armor-piercing ability. The excellent surname of the PAK18 series anti-tank guns can not refer to its armor-piercing ability, but to say the mobile surname, the caliber of the PAK18 is only 37 mm, and the length of the body barrel is 43 times the caliber, and even if it is a part of the improved models of various countries, the diameter of the body tube will be improved to 45 times at most. As a result, the PAK18 series weighs only about 500 kilograms, and the specific weight varies according to the metallurgical level of each country, but it will not vary too much. This weight is even lighter than the 75\76mm mountain artillery \ light howitzer that is commonly equipped in various countries. The lighter weight allows for quick maneuvering and rapid deployment, and can be towed by horses in countries where motorization is lagging behind.

The advantage of the PA18 series of 37mm anti-tank guns is that they are mobile, and the weak armor-piercing ability is well known to all countries, and in fact, various military powers have generally developed and equipped with larger-caliber anti-tank guns, such as China's 50mm anti-tank gun series, called 'Ben's 47mm anti-tank gun series. It's just that the weight of these larger-caliber anti-tank guns is generally large, and the cost is generally higher, and the thickness of the tank armor of the two countries in East Asia is not too thick. Therefore, for anti-tank guns of larger calibers, neither country is equipped much.

On the contrary, several countries in Europe are facing a large number of heavy armor turtle speed tanks, all of which are equipped with a lot of large-caliber anti-tank guns, while Soviet Russia is because of the long-term threat of Chinese armored forces in Siberia, and most of China's heavy tank T7 tanks are also deployed in Siberia, so there are many large-caliber anti-tank guns in Soviet Russia.

On the Korean battlefield, the Type 81 anti-tank gun of the Japanese army still plays a huge role in the face of a large number of T6 tanks in China, and Gentaro Yamashita does not want to abandon the Type 81 anti-tank gun in his hand.

After the hasty evacuation, the machine guns on the two Chinese tanks behind them began to strafe, and the tank guns on them also began to fire, but the two tanks did not pursue, but directly reversed behind the enemy, and then retreated behind a small hill, trying to rely on this low mound of earth to resist a possible ambush. The infantrymen who were protecting the vehicles also retreated with the tanks and kept a watchful eye on the surroundings.

At this time, a second lieutenant turned out of one of the tanks, and the second lieutenant, who was about twenty-five or six years old, got out of the car and looked at his chariot and saw the shallow bullet marks on the front of the turret, and was relieved: "It's okay!" ”

At this time, an infantry lieutenant also walked over next to him, and the infantry platoon commander approached and said: "Second Lieutenant Luo, why did you retreat just now, the enemy is at most a dozen and one cannon, and we can destroy them with one charge!" ”

The lieutenant of the infantry said that Ensign Luo was extremely dissatisfied, and muttered in his heart, saying lightly, this fight is not for us to rush ahead, you infantry are hiding behind our buttocks, this was ambushed by the enemy just now, although fortunately it was hit by the turret and did not penetrate, but Ensign Luo did not dare to guarantee that his good luck could continue, so it is better to be cautious.

Second Lieutenant Luo said: "The terrain in front is a bit chaotic, and those low jungles are easy to be ambushed by the army!" ”

The infantry lieutenant said: "It's not okay to stay like this, it's been half an hour since we set off, and the order given to me by the company headquarters is to rush to the position of the third company in an hour to support." ”

Before Second Lieutenant Luo could argue, the infantry lieutenant said again: "In this way, I will lead people to detour from the side first, and you will provide us with artillery cover, this should be no problem!" ”

Second Lieutenant Luo nodded when he heard this: "This is no problem, as long as you infantry can control that jungle, we can directly cross this area!" ”

The infantry lieutenant quickly turned around and took about 20 people away, shouting and scolding in a low voice as he walked: "These dog-said tank soldiers are always so afraid of death, what kind of battle do they come to fight if they are afraid of death!" ”

He was ordered to break through this enemy position and go to support Captain Li's third company, Captain Li's third company has been out of contact for half a day, and yesterday they had already asked for more ammunition and reinforcements, and if these continue, it is estimated that it will cause a big disaster.

And those two tanks were directly sent down from above to support Captain Li's third company, with the strength of an infantry company can be supported by two tanks, which should be considered a rarity, but the platoon commander of the armored platoon, Second Lieutenant Luo, did not know whether he was cautious or timid, and he was grinding along the way, and he refused to continue to rush after receiving a shell just now, which made the infantry lieutenant in front of him extremely dissatisfied.

After a quick detour of more than 20 people, the infantry lieutenant who led the team lay on the top of a small hill, and took out a telescope while wearing a rough fit to observe carefully, and the high-powered telescope allowed the lieutenant to clearly see the nearby situation, a bare low mountain, and the side of the mountain was a low bush.

Suddenly, the lieutenant suddenly saw a glimmer of reflection in the telescope, then adjusted the magnification of the telescope, and then aimed at the low bushes just now to observe, although there were low bushes to observe, but through the gap in the bushes he still found a few half-crouching people.

"Sure enough, there was an ambush!" The infantry lieutenant muttered and observed carefully, and only after a while did he turn around, put down the binoculars and said: "There shouldn't be much ambush over there, just a 37 mm anti-tank gun crew, and a few more infantrymen." Let's fight for a while, and then let Second Lieutenant Luo's tank rush up and we should be able to finish them off! ”

Then he turned to a sergeant who was armed with a rifle with a scope and said, "Sergeant Qian, you and Sergeant Lin will kill their gunners first, and now the distance is almost three hundred meters, are you sure!" ”
