The most effective means of dealing with armored clusters is air strikes, but the Red Army's flying regiment now has only 6 old bombers, which cannot be effectively attacked compared to more than 200 devil fighting vehicles; Some people have also said that "tanks are the most haode anti-tank weapons", but although Hu Weidong's men have armored brigades, they are less than half of the enemy's troops, not to mention the quality of officers and soldiers, and a large part of them are only able to use tanks.

In addition, you can only rely on artillery and infantry anti-tank weapons, if the number of heavy guns with a caliber of more than 150mm is sufficient, you can rely on the artillery group to cover the moving enemy armored clusters at a long distance, the principle is similar to that of an air attack to break a tank (high air attack accuracy, high artillery density). However, although the Red Eighth Army now has a lot of heavy artillery, it is far from enough to directly bombard more than 200 devil tanks at a long distance, and now that the two sides have begun to exchange fierce fire, accidental injury is also a great problem.

Bombarding armored targets at a relatively close range by means of direct artillery aiming is also one of the more effective anti-tank means, but the Red 15th Army now lacks specialized anti-tank guns (Note 1), and even less excellent gunners who can accurately shell point targets. After all, in the past year and a half, although Hu Weidong has relied on his personal talent and ingenious artillery quick method to build a powerful artillery unit, the vast majority of soldiers can only carry out area firepower coverage with relatively low accuracy requirements, not to mention that tanks and armored vehicles traveling at high speed are far more difficult to hit than fixed targets

The artillery could not bear the heavy responsibility, so they could only hope for the infantry, but although the anti-tank grenades of the Red 15th Army were equipped with a lot, the gun grenades themselves were not specially designed for anti-tank weapons. Even though it is powerful enough to destroy a thin-skinned devil tank, the hit rate of an attacking tank is compared to that of a professional anti-tank bazooka. There was still a big gap, and the grenadiers of the Red Army had no previous experience in attacking moving targets. Especially the devil's tank, although the armor is very thin, but the mobility and speed are quite good, it is even more difficult to hit, when the number of tanks is small, it is okay, like now, more than 200 vehicles rushed together, the range of the grenades is limited, and the maximum number that can attack the target at the same time is only 6 guns and grenades belonging to a company, how can it block the torrent of armor? And because of this, since the day of the appearance of infantry anti-tank weapons. They will always exist only as an anti-tank auxiliary

In fact. If there are trenches and other means to limit the mobility of the devil's tank, with the existing anti-tank firepower of the Red 15th Army, it may not be able to stop the devil's armored cluster, but where is the time in a hurry?

Just when Hu Weidong was anxious, he didn't know if it was "the ignorant are fearless". Su Yu, who had only heard of the power of the armored cluster assault, was much calmer than Hu Weidong, "What are you afraid of, there are only a few hundred Iron King Eight in total, as long as we don't panic ourselves, I don't believe they can kill all of our 100,000 horses!" ”

When Hu Weidong heard this, he suddenly realized that he had just fallen into the wrong place of thinking, "That's right! The reason why the armoured assault is terrible is that the defenders will panic if they are continuously breached, so it is easy to be defeated, but if the defenders are determined enough. Tanks and armored vehicles are not much different from other arms in nature, in the final analysis, you have to kill the enemy one by one, compared to our 100,000 army, the lethality of the devil tank is relatively insufficient"

Hu Weidong was well aware that even if armed with individual anti-tank weapons, the same number of infantry would not be able to compete with the armored forces. But now the devils only have a few hundred tanks, but the Red Army has 100,000 people, even if the devils' tanks run out of ammunition, it is impossible to eliminate the infantry platoons with advanced tactics and commanders and fighters who are generally good at preserving their main forces of the Red 15th Army under artillery fire and machine guns, right? And if you really want to fight all the way, the thousands of guns and grenades equipped by the Red 15th Army alone are enough to destroy all the two or three hundred tanks of the devil...,

After opening his mind, Hu Weidong suddenly became enlightened, "The key now is whether our soldiers, especially the commanders, can withstand the huge psychological pressure brought by the steel torrent without collapsing?" ”

For this point, even Zhang Hao, the political commissar who had not been in the Red Eighth Army for a long time, was full of confidence, not to mention Hu Weidong and Su Yu, so they only needed to think about how to kill and wound the enemy more effectively and reduce the casualties of the officers and soldiers.

Hu Weidong immediately ordered all units of the Red 15th Army to "get out of the way and attack the enemy's flank." At the same time, in view of the weakness of the crispy skin of the devil tank armored car, the light firepower such as the rifle machine gun is also used, the armor of the devil's light tank and the rear of the armored vehicle is only 6-8mm thick, and the German rifle machine gun can easily penetrate within 50 meters using steel core bullets (Note 2) (the armor penetration depth of the 79-pointed bullet of the steel core is 11mm at a distance of 100 meters, and the cost is not only reduced after Hu Weidong's improvement of the process, but the penetration is also slightly enhanced, but considering that it is difficult to ensure that it is shot at a vertical angle in actual combat, And it is necessary to retain a certain amount of kinetic energy to kill and injure the occupants, and a distance of 50 meters is safer. The armor-piercing grenades are concentrated on striking the relatively thicker Devil medium tanks to further improve combat efficiency, anyway, due to the relevant teaching (the cannon is thick and medium, and the thin is light, the difference between 57mm caliber and 37mm caliber is still easy to distinguish). The commanders of the Red 15th Army at and above the company level could easily distinguish whether the devil's tank was medium or light

Note 1: Because the devil and because there is not much need for anti-tank, the number of anti-aircraft equipment is not too much, so the Red 15th Army has now captured a total of more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns, which is not enough to deal with hundreds of tanks. And those cannons, although they can also shoot tanks flat, but after all, they are not designed for anti-tanks, and if you use them to hit tanks at close range, the power is more than enough, but the rate of fire is slow, the target is large (easy to attack), and the price is expensive (the cost of the 105mm cannon is 5 times that of the 37mm battle defense gun, and the 150mm field cannon is more than 10 times, and then consider the problem of slow rate of fire and large target, use them to fight against the tank, the cost is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the war defense gun, unless it is absolutely necessary, Hu Weidong would never make such a decision. ), far inferior to professional anti-tank guns (anti-aircraft guns are also possible, but the Red XV Army now has no anti-aircraft guns. Good to use.

Note 2: Historically, in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, the various departments were equipped with very few steel core bullets, and did not achieve much success in anti-tank operations, but since Hu Weidong seized the Gongxian Arsenal, in order to reduce costs, not only the new bullet production line is all steel shell and steel core, but even the production line of 79 pointed bullets has been changed one by one, and the steel core bullets used in the rifle machine gun bullets used by the Red 15th Army have been more than half, and the proportion is still increasing, so even if the enemy suddenly arrives, there is no need to worry about not being able to find steel core bullets to use for a while. However, it is worth mentioning that the Type 24 semi-automatic rifle is equipped with intermediate power bullets, and the bullet penetration is smaller than the full-power bullets widely used on the Shijie at present, so it is basically impossible to use anti-armor combat, even if it is a crispy tank of the devil, but at this time, the Red Fifteenth Army is only equipped with more than 10,000 pieces, so the impact is not great, and it can be regarded as a lost horse.
