The most important thing is that the armored forces of the Anti-United Nations were invested in this battle, forming a tactic of adding fuel. Originally, I thought that although there were many tanks dispatched by the Japanese army, the protection performance of the tanks was poor, and the power of the tank guns was far inferior to the T 34 tanks of the Anti-United Nations. One tank regiment against two tank wings of the Japanese army was already enough in terms of troops.

So at the very beginning, only one separate tank regiment was dispatched to participate in the battle. By the time something was discovered and reinforcements were rushed, it was somewhat too late. Although the first troops to participate in the war fought bravely, their training was also quite solid. But the disadvantage in numbers is that the good tiger can't stand the wolves.

In addition, the inherent observation and sighting system of Soviet-style tanks is backward, and the long-range accuracy is slightly poor. The first tank regiment to participate in the battle was in the melee, although it also destroyed dozens of Japanese tanks. But it also lost two-thirds of its own, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire army was destroyed.

If Wang Minggui hadn't discovered it early, he would have quickly mobilized another tank regiment to participate in the battle. I'm afraid that the first tank regiment to participate in the battle was not almost equivalent to, but really wiped out. However, even though the speed of reinforcement was fast, because the follow-up troops were invested too late, the outcome of the battle could not be completely reversed.

However, although the two tank regiments that participated in the war suffered heavy losses, the two Japanese tank wings that participated in the battle did not gain any benefits. Originally, he thought that he would use the good power of his new tank guns to try to defeat the tank troops of the Anti-United Nations in one go, and then solve the Japanese army of the infantry.

In the midst of this battle, learn from their allies, the Germans. As soon as it came up, the wolf pack tactics were adopted, and both tank wings were all thrown into battle. Formed a dense formation and charged the troops of the Anti-Union. Trying to use the armor cluster shock tactics to determine the victory or defeat in the first battle.

In terms of the number of tanks thrown into it by both sides, it was a close fight. The difference in performance between the two tanks is far less than that of the previous Type 97 tank. Even the T 34 tank suffered some losses in the observation system when facing this new Japanese tank.

Fortunately, in terms of comprehensive performance, although the performance gap between the T 34 tank and the latest tank of the Japanese army has narrowed a lot, it still occupies a certain advantage after all. Moreover, the tank units of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, after all, are still tested for a long time and have received rigorous training that is no less than that of the Japanese army. Therefore, although the two tank regiments invested suffered heavy losses, they did not make the Japanese army much better.

In this battle, the tank units of the Anti-Japanese Union killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 themselves. But it relied on the relatively balanced performance of the T 34 tank, the power of the 76 mm tank gun, and the tactics that had been painstakingly trained. After a melee, although it also suffered heavy losses, all the tanks that the two tank wings invested by the Japanese army were also left on the northern battlefield of Tongzhou.

The stingy Japanese army only equipped the new tank with a small number of cap-piercing shells, and did not equip them with the best hard-core armor-piercing shells. The vast majority of tanks are still equipped with ordinary armor-piercing blasters. The power of this tank gun, which is very good, has decreased by nearly one-third.

When a small number of armor-piercing shells were used up, the remaining ordinary armor-piercing shells of the Japanese tanks could only get as close as possible to the tank group of the Anti-United Nations in order to give full play to the power of this tank gun, which had excellent performance. In order to use the most heavily equipped armor-piercing blaster shells to defeat the anti-United Nations tanks after each tank was exhausted by three armor-piercing shells.

The Japanese commander could only desperately command his subordinates to rush forward, trying to fight a hand-to-hand combat with these T 34 tanks of the Anti-United Nations. But at a distance of less than 500 meters, even if the anti-United Nations T 34 tank has a poor sighting system, its 76-millimeter tank gun is more than capable of this kind of Japanese tank.

The 76-mm tank guns were shot, and the 50-mm armor of the new Japanese tanks could not be carried out. Before was unprepared, in order to save valuable armor-piercing shells took the wrong tactics. The Japanese tanks were put as close as possible to fight, so they suffered a big loss.

When the second echelon rushed to reinforce it, the anti-United Nations tank troops, which had already mastered the improved tank guns of the Japanese army, reacted quickly. Using the power of his tank guns, he kept a distance of 500 meters from the Japanese tank cluster, and used the advantage of range and power to name the Japanese tanks, and finally reversed the situation.

After a tank melee, the entire northern suburbs of Tongzhou were full of destroyed tanks on both sides. Although the Japanese army did not come back, the tank troops of the Anti-United Nations also suffered such heavy losses for the first time in the tank battle. This is almost the first time for the Anti-Japanese Federation.

After receiving Wang Minggui's report, although Yang Zhen was very dissatisfied, he did not blame him too much. Despite the heavy losses of the troops, Yang Zhen believed that the tank troops should also be taught a lesson. Since its formation, the troops that have almost swept away the garbage tanks of the Japanese army are too arrogant.

The previous successive battles and victories, the price paid by themselves cannot be said to be nothing, but it is a rather slight price. They have cultivated the mentality of the troops, and sooner or later they will suffer a big loss. This loss will have to be eaten sooner or later, and it is better to eat now than to meet a stronger opponent in the future, and the price to pay is still smaller.

The Japanese have the ability to develop the military industry of their own system, and it turns out that the tanks are not strong because they do not have that strategic need. If necessary, a new tank can be suppressed in a short time. Ignoring the ability and efficiency of the Japanese army to update its equipment, it is not surprising that today's result has appeared.

It is much better to learn a lesson by suffering a little loss now than to suffer a big loss in the future. The price of two regiments of tanks, if you can make their heads clearer, don't always think that you are the best in the world, it may not be a good thing. If it hurts badly, you can remember it for a long time.

Looking at Yang Zhen, who seemed a little silent after reading the telegram, the boss took the telegram a little strangely, and after taking a look, he slapped the telegram on the table: "Playing the piano, what is this front-line commander doing to eat?" Halfway through the battle, I realized that it didn't taste right. The campaign had just begun, and the two tank regiments were thus reimbursed. ”

Regarding the anger that the boss couldn't suppress, Yang Zhen knew very well that half of the boss's anger was caused by the front-line commander making such a low-level mistake. The remaining half, I'm afraid, is distress and flesh pain. At the beginning of the campaign, more than 100 tanks were lost at once, and anyone who was replaced had to feel distressed.

Even the Americans with deep pockets, plus the Soviets who took their lives and misequipment seriously, were enough to hurt the flesh. No, how many tanks are there in the whole army now? The tanks of the Anti-Union have just been able to manufacture themselves, and the output is still at a relatively low level.

The losses are so great, especially when such a low-level mistake is made. Even the boss who has always been heavy has a hard time controlling his anger. This is still up to his subordinates, if the commander of the Guannai brothers' troops is changed, I'm afraid the boss will scold his mother.

For the boss whose face was extremely rare and ugly, and who was obviously suppressing the anger in his heart, Yang Zhen stood up and poured a glass of water for the boss before sitting in front of the boss and said, "Boss, are you distressed?" To be honest, I was also angry and even more distressed. Our own tank industry has just begun, and mass production is less than a fraction of that of the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain every month. ”

"And the special steel used to make tanks, as well as the industrial aluminum used in the production of engines, we can't mass produce it ourselves, and we still need to rely on imports. Suffering such a big loss at once, I don't know when I will be able to make up for it. There are also so many tank crews that have completed their training that they are more difficult to replenish than tanks. ”

"More importantly, the loss of two tank regiments will also affect our follow-up battle plan to a certain extent. In the face of such a big loss, if I don't feel distressed and angry, I am telling a lie with my eyes open. As their commander, I feel more distressed than anyone else, and I cannot tolerate such a low-level mistake that they have made, resulting in such heavy losses. ”

Yang Zhen's words, but the boss was very unimpressed. Pointing at Yang Zhen and said, "I didn't see that your kid was in pain, but he was very calm." I know that you have a lot of money now, but Comrade Yang Zhen, I understand that losses cannot be avoided on the battlefield. But limited equipment isn't such a waste, and don't forget that you worked so hard to get it. ”

Seeing the boss's attitude towards himself now, he was obviously very unimpressed. Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Boss, I feel distressed, but I think the result of this battle is not early, but late." Only when it hurts to eat, will you have a good memory and accept some lessons. ”

"Compared with other arms, the Japanese armored forces have been slow to develop because their opponents are too weak, and they can even be said to be weak in themselves. And the difference in opponents also makes them ignore the trend of the development of armored forces. Before the Pearl Harbor incident, their main tank combat experience was the Battle of Normenheim and the Soviet Army's tank set. ”

"But that battle did not serve them in addition to telling them that the Soviets were not to be messed with, and that Stalin's ass was not to be touched. The tanks that the Soviets put into the battlefield, which were now second-rate, also caused them to be misguided. Of course, the tanks invested by the Soviet army in the Battle of Nomenkhan were still in line with the international development of tanks at that time. ”

"The Type 97 tank, which was the main force of the Japanese fight with us before, was still very good in overall performance at that time, even surpassing the T26 and BT tanks of the Soviet army. But when the boss's weapons and equipment are updated the fastest, it is very simple during the war. Looking at the performance of tanks on the Soviet-German battlefield now, it is no longer what it used to be during the Battle of Normenhan. ”

"That's why I say that the Battle of Normenheim brought the Japanese not only the impression that Stalin's butt was not easy to touch, but also influenced the trend of the Japanese on the development of tanks to a certain extent. But that's not to say that they don't have the ability to make good tanks, because there was no need for them before. ”

And the Japanese, who put too much emphasis on what is in line with their own national strength, have also made certain mistakes in their own strategy. For many years, the Japanese have been annexing China. And we, a huge, but weak country that does not even have a modern industry, are simply unable to provide our army with all the equipment necessary for national defense. Only then can the Japanese army's iron-clad armored vehicles be able to be majestic on Chinese soil. ”

"What is the best anti-tank weapon? It's the tanks themselves. Our armored forces developed rapidly with the support of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, or in exchange. To a certain extent, the Japanese were forced to constantly find ways to improve their tanks. It can be said that the new tanks that the Japanese are now putting in are to a considerable extent an option that we are forced to take. ”

"The Japanese Army has always been equipped with second-rate tanks, not that they don't have this ability. Rather, they did not tilt in this direction according to their own strategic needs, national strength, and strategic priorities. But many of our commanders have forgotten this. Even those tanks of the Japanese are regarded as their own meals. ”
