readx; Gentaro Yamashita stood up and saluted: "Sir, I'm from the Ninth Anti-Tank Brigade!" ”

However, the infantry lieutenant who was facing him was obviously not interested in what unit Gentaro Yamashita belonged to, and he only wanted to know if this person was an artillery soldier of anti-tank guns. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Know how to fight a tank?"

"I've wrecked three Chinese tanks!" When Gentaro Yamashita said this, he was full of pride, although he had already lost two anti-tank guns in his hands with the anti-tank gun he had just lost, but he had successfully destroyed three Chinese tanks, which was not easy for an ordinary anti-tank gun commander, and it was simply strange that he could survive after destroying three tanks.

Because of the inconvenience of maneuvering on the battlefield, towed anti-tank guns are relatively difficult to transfer once they are deployed, and often the anti-tank gun forces are either fought to victory or fought to death, and it is rare to say that the battle situation is unfavorable when the situation is unfavorable. Unless he was ambushed and suppressed by the enemy like Gentaro Yamashita just now, he was forced to abandon the anti-tank gun and retreat.

And Yamashita Gentaro fought to the end in the battle of Heisei, and the anti-tank squadron he was in did not retreat after losing everything, and he was later injured as a result.

Among the many arms of the army, anti-tank artillery should be regarded as a more dangerous branch, because their equipment and surname determine that they must fight at the front line, and it is impossible for them to hide behind the battle line and fire shells like other artillerymen, and they are often directly confronted with enemy tank forces on the front line. And they don't have tank crews, they have the armor protection of tanks, they are mobile, and they can't get effective cover when they are hit by enemy fire.

The danger is much greater than that of a tank crew or an infantryman.

However, relatively speaking, they hit enemy tanks, and due to the cost of tanks and anti-tank guns, they can make a lot of money even if they exchange one for one.

However, in actual combat, it was difficult to achieve a one-to-one battle ratio with towed anti-tank guns, and the last time in 1923 was the war, when the gap between the two sides was too large. This time, however, the anti-tank guns deployed by the Chinese army on the Korean front line numbered in the hundreds, and at least more than half of them had been destroyed in the fierce fighting for more than a month, but they did not achieve many results, at most they directly destroyed 20 or 30 tanks.

Of course, the losses of Chinese tanks are much more than that, but a considerable number of them broke down due to mechanical problems, some were lost by the infantry of the Chinese army with meat bombs, and a considerable part of them were hit by direct fire from the Japanese army's field artillery or the tracks were blown off by mines. There are many reasons for the losses, and the number of losses caused by these adds up is the number of losses of the Chinese armored forces.

Gentaro Yamashita's record of destroying three Chinese tanks was enough to make him proud.

And the infantry lieutenant in front of him was obviously extremely satisfied, and immediately said: "Come with me, Shaozo wants to see you!" ”

Soon, Yamashita Gentaro was brought to a young man of the army, who had a similar problem to the lieutenant just now, and after confirming that Yamashita Gentaro was indeed a veteran of anti-tank guns, he said: "That Chinese tank squad is very troublesome now, we must solve them, and because the terrain of the other side is very good and the firepower is strong, the previous infantry charges have not been able to take it down, what can you do about it?" ”

Shao Zuo's mouth is very simple, but the several infantry charges in his mouth are extremely tragic, the army has sent three infantry squadrons before and after, and now the front adds up to seven or eight hundred people, the first several attacks were suppressed by the enemy's firepower, and then the officers on the front line decided to launch a meat 'bomb charge, trying to use the soldier's bravery to force up and blow up the tank, but there was still no result, this short half an hour down, the front casualties of the army soldiers have been close to 100. This situation greatly alarmed the Yue army.

However, the infantry wing in front of him did not have much anti-tank firepower, and the anti-tank guns of the Chinese army were directly deployed at the division and regiment level, while the infantry wing only had a small number of anti-tank guns, and these anti-tank guns were fine in the face of the army's own thinly armored tanks. Because most of the armor-piercing caliber of these anti-tank guns is only more than 10 millimeters, and few can exceed 20 millimeters, it is basically useless to face armored targets with a thickness of more than 20 millimeters.

In fact, he himself also found that the old anti-tank guns developed and put into service in the early twenties were no longer up to the task, and he was planning to develop a new type of anti-tank guns, but with the development of tank technology getting faster and faster, and the armor of tanks in various countries became thicker and thicker, the anti-tank gun became a short-lived weapon, and even he did not want to spend too much effort to develop a force of little use, but focused on the development of anti-tank guns.

When those anti-tank guns can't penetrate the Chinese tanks, it is very difficult for ordinary infantry units to destroy the enemy tanks, and the general situation is to use the terrain and then carry out an infantry charge, as long as they get close to blow up the tracks of the enemy tanks, they are basically considered successful.

And now the small tank detachment of China is not alone, there is a platoon of infantry by its side. In addition, they occupied the advantage of the terrain, so the infantry of the squadrons on the front line fought very hard.

As a last resort, I found Gentaro Yamashita, an anti-tank artillery gunner, to ask.

Although Gentaro Yamashita didn't know the details of what happened, he could probably guess it, and after pondering for a while, he said, "We should still have a few mountain cannons!" ”

"Well, there is, but the trajectory is not easy to adjust, and it can't shoot directly!" Na Shaozo said this, they originally had four 75-mm field guns supported by four divisional artillery regiments, but because of the tension on other local fronts, they were transferred away yesterday. Now all that remains is their wing's own firepower.

"My suggestion is to give priority to the enemy's infantry with artillery and mortars, and it should not be too difficult to destroy the enemy's infantry first with our superior firepower, and when the enemy's infantry is lost, the enemy's tanks will be isolated!" Yamashita Gentaro did not directly say how to fight tanks, but said that the enemy's infantry should be eliminated first.

Hearing Yamashita Gentaro say this, the young man in front of him also woke up, yes, in the past half an hour of combat, the goal of the army has always been on the two tanks in China, thinking that that is their biggest enemy and target, so it caused the front-line officers of the army to ignore the infantry next to the tank.

In the current battle, those Chinese tanks cover the infantry, and the infantry covers the tanks, both are indispensable, as long as they defeat either of them, then they can achieve victory.

The Japanese army, which came to its senses, soon used mountain artillery and mortars to cover the artillery fire, and switched to the Chinese infantry as the main target of the battle.

When the army changed its tactics, the small Chinese force was obviously hit, and the Chinese infantry lieutenant who had just led the troops to ambush Gentaro Yamashita frowned and looked at the shells that kept exploding around him: "These said, 'I seem to have changed my tactics!'" ”

His troops were too small, and if the army had used sufficient infantry, it would still be able to rely on the cover of tanks for defensive operations, but when the army adopted the method of large-scale artillery bombardment, it became much more dangerous for his own side.

"When will our reinforcements arrive!" At this time, the commander of the tank, Second Lieutenant Luo, also saw that something was wrong, and said the same thing to the infantry lieutenant.

The infantry lieutenant said: "I have asked for reinforcements from the rear troops, and it is expected that reinforcements will arrive soon." ”

His words were not wrong, when the battalion headquarters slightly behind learned that the front-line troops had discovered the strength of a wing of the Gundam army, they immediately organized troops to reinforce, and the nearest infantry company was already rushing to arrive, and it was expected to arrive in an hour at most, and the battalion headquarters had already reported the news to the 93rd regiment, and it was believed that the regimental headquarters would soon send troops to reinforce it.

However, before that, they had to hold on, because they didn't have such good defensive terrain behind them, and it was a pity to give up.

The Chinese squad did not retreat but chose to continue to defend, and the attack of the Yue army became more and more fierce, especially after their artillery was fired in front of the number theory, and it was slowly adjusting to shoot Zhu Yuan, and the shells began to fall intensively on the position of this small Chinese army.

The machine guns on the positions of the Chinese troops continued to sound, and the tanks were also supporting with maximum firepower, and even the captured Type 81 anti-tank guns were pulled out for counterattack, and there was not even a single anti-tank gunner among these people, so although they could fire the shells, they didn't expect to be able to hit too accurately, but they still used all the firepower in their hands to counterattack.

The comrades around him fell one after another, and fifteen minutes later, the infantry lieutenant had been shot in the shoulder, and he soon fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss, and Second Lieutenant Luo took over the command.

"Sergeant Wang, the person from the south is coming up soon!" Although Second Lieutenant Luo took over the command with the highest rank on the spot, he was a tank second lieutenant, and how to command infantry operations was not something he was good at, so the direct command of the infantry platoon was replaced by Deputy Platoon Commander Wang.

In the command system of the Chinese Army, an infantry platoon often has a platoon commander officer, usually with the rank of second lieutenant or lieutenant, where the lieutenant is a senior platoon commander, and the second lieutenant is usually a student who has just graduated from the military rank. The deputy platoon commander is not necessarily, some are second lieutenant officers who have just graduated from military academies, and sometimes they are sergeants among senior non-commissioned officers.

And the soldier Wang in front of him is one of them.

Like most sergeants, Sergeant Wang was older, in his thirties, and his many years of experience in warfare were naturally incomparable, and he soon saw the problem and dispatched a few people to support.

However, the total number of troops in front of them is less than sixty people, and they have already lost more than half of them in the previous battle, and they are about to crumble, but their own reinforcements have not yet arrived.

Looking at the infantry charging from all over the mountains, Second Lieutenant Luo gave birth to a kind of despair for the first time, which was a kind of despair in a situation of absolute disadvantage in strength.

Sergeant Wang's face was already stained with the blood of his comrade-in-arms, he saw that the battle situation was getting worse and worse, turned to Second Lieutenant Luo and said with a wry smile: "Second Lieutenant, now it seems that we are going to die here today!" ”

Second Lieutenant Luo was already a little nervous in his heart, but he still squeezed out a smile on his face: "Luo has already decided to dedicate everything to the country and the nation, including my life!" ”

Sergeant Wang looked at the young lieutenant in front of him, and did not speak, to be honest, he has always been unable to understand the great cause of the party and the country of those young officers, the reason why Sergeant Wang has been in the army for more than ten years is very simple, the army has provided him with a good salary, in this era to become a non-commissioned officer and become a professional soldier, the income is far more generous than other ordinary professions, with a good income, he has long had the consciousness of dying on the battlefield, this is not for the country or the nation, but as his personal career choice. However, those officers have all kinds of reasons, but when most of them are faced with death, even if their feet are shaking, they will still say a lot of big truths, and they are the most often heard words for the sake of the country and the nation.

Whatever their reasons and motives, they didn't retreat!

They fought until the end!
