Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

These Japanese tanks, even the wreckage of them, are very useful. Now Li Qinwu's industry is not able to produce engines. If he wants to build tanks, he can only seize them and modify them.

The Japanese deployed a large number of tanks when fighting the 128th Battle, the main force was the Type 89, with a small number of Renault tanks and Vickers MKE tanks. It can be said that the 128th Battle was an opportunity for the Punishment Army, an opportunity to obtain a large number of tank materials!

As long as the soldiers of the 19th Route Army take it easy when attacking the tanks and leave behind the engines and transmission systems, the big machine boss at the Hutoushan Repair Shop can use ceramic steel to build a new car!

The perspective returns to the battlefield of Baoshan Street. The moment two tanks appeared from the end of the street, they immediately launched an artillery attack on the position of Deputy Company Commander Tan Zhaoping. However, the defense here was very strong. The sandbags were piled very thickly, layer upon layer, and even the surrounding shops were transformed into fortresses. The Japanese tank shelling did not cause much casualties, but only caused rubble and dust to be everywhere.

Tan Zhaoping lay beside two anti-tank guns, staring at the two tanks through the gaps in the sandbags.

"Don't worry, let them in and fight, put them within 200 meters!"

The four men who controlled the anti-tank guns were all lieutenants. When General Cai Tingkai received this batch of anti-tank guns from Li Liangwei, he ordered them to be distributed to the most experienced officers for use, and they were trained in advance. Each shooter fired 4 rounds of bullets to practice, so the lieutenants who controlled the anti-tank guns were fully confident in fighting tanks.

The gunner's lieutenant stared at the two tanks that kept firing, trying to find the observation port, but it was dark and the small observation port was completely invisible.

But it doesn't matter. They made tactical arrangements in advance. When the Japanese tanks enter the distance of 200 meters, someone will fire flares to provide them with shooting opportunities.

The Japanese tanks were as arrogant as could be. After entering the street here, they saw that there was no heavy weapon on the 19th Route Army's position, so they stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the position. The machine guns on the vehicles were firing all the time, and clusters of bright lights blasted from the muzzles, illuminating the dark streets. The tanks would stop and fire from time to time, blowing up a few sandbags on the position.

There were only a few Japanese soldiers accompanying the tanks this time, only seven or eight of them. After the tanks' secret retreat just now, the Japanese squad no longer trusted the tanks.

If the enemy just hides their heavy weapons and suddenly rushes out when the tanks get close, and the tanks then slip away on their own, they will be exposed to the enemy's firepower again, which would be a disaster.

Therefore, this time the Japanese squad leader only placed a dozen people behind the tank to prevent enemy infantry from rushing over and destroying the tank, while the other soldiers slowly searched the houses on both sides of the street.

Finally, the two tanks successfully drove into the 200-meter position. The time had come, and without anyone sending a signal, a flare was fired into the air.

The Japanese commander in the tank saw the flare through the observation window and snorted coldly.

"Stupid Chinese! Are you actively firing flares to illuminate us? Hehehe! Artillery makes good use of this opportunity and freely finds targets to shoot!"

The tank guns took advantage of the vision provided by the flares to find several inhabited positions. Several shells fell into the positions of the 19th Route Army soldiers, killing and injuring several soldiers.

Seeing this, Tan Zhaoping urged the anti-tank gunner anxiously: "Get to the position! Shoot if you are sure! Don't miss the target. If these two pieces of iron are brought to the merchant named Li, they will be worth 1 yuan!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two anti-tank gunners shuddered at the same time. They were not panicked when facing the Japanese artillery, but they panicked when they heard that the tank on the opposite side was worth 1 oceans. Even the hands holding the guns began to tremble.

Fortunately, the two lieutenants had strong psychological qualities. They calmed themselves immediately, took advantage of the field of view provided by the flares, quickly locked onto a tank observation window with mechanical sights, and then opened fire at the same time.

After two loud gunshots, the head of the Japanese tank commander who was driving the tank exploded. One of the two bullets successfully passed through the observation port and took the Japanese tank commander away.

The bullet even had some residual kinetic energy, which blew up the commander's head and then the gunner who was standing and controlling the artillery.

"Ouch! Ouch!!"

The Japanese gunner let out a scream that made his balls shatter, then fell into the tank, covering his hips and twitching.

A tank lost two main members and was paralyzed.

"Haha! Hit it! The tank stopped firing! Good job, both of you!"

Because of the telescope, Tan Zuoping clearly saw the tank's unusual pause. It was obvious that their attack was successful this time!

The two anti-tank guns did not stop firing. The recoil of the anti-tank guns would automatically pull open the barrel and eject the shells. The bullet changer lying on the side held a 12.7mm bullet in his hand. They quickly stuffed the bullet into the barrel, returned the bolt to its position, and the anti-tank gun entered the ready mode again.

They acted quickly. In less than 4 seconds, the two anti-tank guns fired the second shot.

At this time, there was basically no internal and external communication between the Japanese tanks, and the tanks were not equipped with telegraph machines. Therefore, when the first tank lost two crew members and was paralyzed, the second tank did not know about it. It was still moving forward and soon became disconnected from the paralyzed tank.

The tank was unaware that weapons capable of destroying tanks had appeared in the 19th Route Army's position, and it was still advancing arrogantly. The Japanese soldiers following the tank were so anxious that they screamed and hit the tank frantically with the butts of their guns, hoping that it would stop.

When the two tanks were running side by side, they were like a wall, able to block bullets for the Japanese soldiers behind them. But now one tank stopped and the other continued to push forward, so only half of the wall was left, and the enemy could shoot at them from the side and front.

Because of this situation, the soldiers of the 19th Route Army seized the opportunity and killed three or four people.

The tank was still rushing forward, but the crew inside could not hear a thing because of the sound of the engine, the tank gun, and the enemy bullets hitting the armor. Soon, the tank became disconnected from the main force of the Japanese enemy and moved to about 19 meters in front of the 150th Route Army's position.

During this process, two anti-tank guns fired three rounds, and the large-caliber bullets hit the front armor of the Type 89 tank, creating sparks.

It was not known whether the frontal armor of the Type 12.7 tank was too thick, or whether the mm bullet had limited power. In any case, after several rounds of firing, the tank armor was not penetrated at all, and the individual flares did not light up. They could not find the observation hole, but the sandbags in front of them were hit by a tank cannon, which knocked several people unconscious.

The two shooters immediately gave up attacking the armor and turned to attacking the tracks!

The tracks were much easier to hit. After two shots, the tracks were successfully broken and the Type 89 tank stopped 140 meters in front of the position.

When Deputy Company Commander Tan Zhaoping saw that this tank had also broken down, he excitedly hammered the ground hard. He stopped the lieutenant who wanted to continue shooting and shouted to the soldiers next to him: "The Japanese tank has broken down! Don't hide it! Take out the prepared things and treat the Japanese to a pot of wine!"
