20demayo Chapter 160 Fear of Insufficient Firepower
Chapter 160 Fear of Insufficient Firepower
On the southern front.
It is another unit of the Eighth Route Army.
Fighting a fierce battle with the bald man's troops.
Know that the enemy's tanks are very powerful.
So this side of the southern battlefield.
The Eighth Route Army used ten T-34 tanks and more than 30 Hope I tanks.
It was useless even if other tanks came.
A thin-skinned tank captured from the Japanese.
Using it to deal with the tanks supported by the Lighthouse Country is no different from committing suicide.
The Eighth Route Army on the southern battlefield.
There were less than 50 tanks in total.
The number is only about half of the enemy.
The enemy also has support from aircraft and artillery.
——What happened in the Japanese homeland was also known to the Lighthouse Country.
And they learned it from the bald guy.
The Eighth Route Army is hiding a huge secret.
Although I don’t know what the specific secret is.
But look at the crazy appearance of the Japanese and the actions of the Russians.
The Lighthouse Country urgently dispatched a batch of transport planes.
Some tanks and heavy artillery were delivered.
A bald man used to support the mountain city.
By the way, some planes were also sent to help.
Therefore, the situation is very unfavorable to the Eighth Route Army...
……
"Rumble...Rumble..."
There was continuous artillery fire on the southern battlefield.
Tanks of both sides are fighting on the battlefield.
The battle was extremely fierce.
A true warrior not only dares to face the bleak life.
You must also dare to face the enemy's artillery fire.
The tank groups of both sides formed up their battle formations.
While moving forward, they fired at the enemy.
There was constant sound of artillery fire on the battlefield, and shells were fired at the enemy.
But just talking about tank artillery battles.
The Eighth Route Army has fewer tanks.
But it actually has a certain advantage.
Because the enemy's artillery shells were coming.
Even if it is a direct hit on the Hope Type 1 tank.
It is also difficult to cause substantial damage to the Hope Type 1 tank.
Unless it explodes directly on the tank's tracks.
Otherwise, the Eighth Route Army’s tanks would be hit.
Often it is just a brief pause.
Then they continued to fire at the enemy.
On the other hand, there are American tanks on the bald side.
Once hit by the Eighth Route Army's tank guns.
Often the armor is blown to pieces and the tracks are blown to pieces.
——Basically the tank was scrapped.
And the crew inside the tank.
Basically, if you don't die, you will be seriously injured.
So the situation on the battlefield looks like.
Instead, the Eighth Route Army gained the upper hand...
……
Yan Laoxi did not directly participate in the war.
He watched the battle with a group of generals on a distant hill.
See the grand scene of steel torrents colliding with each other.
Old Yan sighed: "The Eighth Route Army is really amazing! They actually got such a powerful tank!
If the Central Army had not taken action this time, we would not have known that the Eighth Route Army had such powerful tanks.
In the past, when the Japanese tanks were compared with these big guys, they were like a three-year-old child in front of an adult and were no match for them.
We will not be able to use the Central Army's tanks, but we must find a way to get them. It would be best if we can produce them ourselves. Otherwise, we will have no place to stand on the battlefield in the future!"
After Old Yan finished speaking.
There was a chorus of agreement behind him.
They all started to flatter him.
But there were also some individuals who remained silent.
The person who didn't say anything was Chu Yunfei, a professional helper.
Chu Yunfei looked at the tanks that were constantly firing at each other on the battlefield.
There was a solemn look between his eyebrows.
Chu Yunfei discovered that the Eighth Route Army’s tanks were larger and the main guns they were equipped with were more powerful.
It is even more brutal than the tanks of the Lighthouse Country.
In terms of mobility.
The tanks of the Eighth Route Army were slightly inferior.
Another thing is the armor of the Eighth Route Army's tanks, the thickness of which may be beyond imagination.
Those tanks supported by the Beacon Country.
It is equipped with a 76.2 mm tank gun.
According to Chu Yunfei's understanding, the mainstream tanks in various countries in the world are basically equipped with artillery of this caliber.
Even if there is a slight difference in caliber.
That wouldn't be too different.
However, the caliber of the Eighth Route Army's artillery was much larger.
This involves the power of the engine.
——That is, issues such as cruising range and the amount of ammunition carried.
Because if the engine power is not strong enough.
The range and maneuverability will be very poor.
The ammunition that can be carried when going into battle will also be very limited.
So Chu Yunfei was very curious.
How powerful are the engines equipped on these tanks of the Eighth Route Army?
……
The battle on the battlefield continues.
Old Yan and the others have been talking about it.
Later I found that Chu Yunfei had been silent.
Old Yan asked Chu Yunfei: "Captain Chu has been silent, is there anything special that he has discovered?"
Chu Yunfei: "Sir, I didn't find anything special. I just have some guesses in my mind!"
"Oh, what's your guess? Tell me what you think."
Chu Yunfei: "It has been almost half an hour since the battle began, but the Central Army's heavy artillery has not opened fire, and the planes in the sky have not dropped bombs.
I guess the Central Army might want to observe the tank data of the Eighth Route Army, which is why the battle situation has become stalemate..."
Old Yan nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but after observing for such a long time, you should have observed the performance of the Eighth Route Army tanks to a certain extent!
The situation will definitely change in the future. The Central Army cannot continue to suffer losses like this, otherwise the Chairman will suffer a great loss..."
Old Yan had just finished speaking.
The remaining forty or fifty American tanks on the battlefield had already begun to retreat collectively.
And the speed of retreat is very fast.
It seemed as if it was eager to distance itself from the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but say, "The bombing is about to begin. This time the Eighth Route Army's tanks are in trouble!"
Someone disagreed and said: "It shouldn't be that serious. I think the tanks of the Eighth Route Army are so durable that it would be difficult to destroy them even with artillery fire!"
Chu Yunfei: "With the support of the Lighthouse Country, the Central Army must be well prepared this time. They must be using heavy artillery..."
"Rumble...Rumble..."
Deafening cannon fire rang out.
Huge artillery shells flew towards the Eighth Route Army's tanks.
The power of large-caliber artillery shells is terrifying.
Hopefully a tank will be hit.
A tank can be destroyed with just one artillery shell.
And even if the shells didn't hit the tank.
The shell exploded next to the tank.
It can also cause a tank weighing dozens of tons to bounce around.
And that's not the scariest thing.
The most terrifying thing is the larger aerial bomb.
As the air whistled.
Huge aerial bombs were dropped one after another.
The tank was blown up directly and rolled all over the ground.
Even the tank was blown into pieces.
Under such terrifying firepower.
The Eighth Route Army tanks that had just had the advantage.
In just the blink of an eye, he had fallen into hell on earth.
After several rounds of continuous bombing by the enemy's heavy artillery and aircraft.
All the tanks on the Eighth Route Army's side.
They have all lost their combat effectiveness.
As for how many of those tank drivers can survive.
That's totally up to luck...
See the tragic scene on the battlefield.
The troops under the bald man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they were sure to win this battle!
And the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
While being shocked by the enemy's heavy fire.
I also feel heartbroken for those colleagues who sacrificed their lives!
He even shouted in grief and anger: "If the firepower is not enough, then let's use human lives to fill the gap. The suicide squad is ready. When the enemy tanks are about to rush up, blow up all the enemy tanks for me...
I will report to the commander when I return, and do everything I can to increase our firepower. I don’t want to see this happen a second time…”
After witnessing the enemy's terrifying firepower.
The Eighth Route Army developed a fear of insufficient firepower in advance...
