Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Commander Cheng asked seriously, "Squad Leader Yu, can the recoilless rifle in your hand penetrate the Type 89 medium tank of the Japanese?"

Hearing Captain Cheng's question, Squad Leader Yu quickly said disdainfully:

"The Japanese Type 89 tank has the nerve to brag that it is a medium tank. They are just trying to flatter themselves. Bah, how shameless."

"Let alone this fragile tank, even their heavy tanks, the kind with front armor that can reach more than 40 mm, can't withstand the armor-piercing shells of our recoilless guns." The Japanese Type 34 heavy tank is also garbage. "I heard the instructor who trained us brag that the recoilless gun is an anti-armor weapon specially developed to deal with the Hans's Type 4 medium tank, the Bear's T45 medium tank, and the Eagle's M34 Sherman medium tank." Sandezi's Type tank, in one word, handsome "No matter which of these medium tanks, the front armor of any one can reach more than mm. The Japanese Type tank, if placed on the European battlefield, is at most a light tank, the kind that can be killed by one shot." The Bear's T is mighty and domineering. "The Japanese's pitiful armored force can only bully our Chinese troops who don't even have a few anti-tank guns. If it is placed in Europe, it will only play the role of cannon fodder." Xie Mantou of the Eagle can only be considered average. As Squad Leader Yu talked endlessly about the pros and cons of armored forces of various countries, he also did not forget to complain about the poor performance of the Japanese tanks.

Although Captain Cheng and the Chief of Staff did not understand the specific meaning of some of the parameters at once, they both felt that it was very impressive.

Of course, there was one thing that the two of them understood clearly, that is, our recoilless guns are very powerful, and the Japanese tanks are very rubbish. There is no problem at all in using recoilless guns to attack enemy tanks.

"Captain Yu, in that case, the Japanese have sent a squadron of Type 89 medium tanks this time. Can your recoilless gun squad take them all out?"

When he heard that it was a squadron of tanks, Squad Leader Yu was also shocked. After a long while, he answered honestly:

"Commander, Chief of Staff, you think too highly of us. If it was just one or two tanks, we could easily destroy them from 400 meters away. But now we have a squadron of the enemy with six medium tanks."

"As soon as our recoilless guns fire one shot, we will have to face the attack of the other five tank guns. Then we will be in trouble. After all, the recoilless guns in our hands can only fire one shot, and they are not light machine guns that can directly fire. After firing a shell, it takes at least a minute to reload. In theory, we can't defeat an entire enemy squad."

However, Commander Cheng said nonchalantly, "Everything depends on human effort. When we had nothing before, we still fought the Japanese. Now we have so many weapons and equipment, including this kind of anti-tank weapon, so why hesitate? Just beat the Japanese."

"I order the entire regiment to enter combat readiness. Tomorrow we will attack this group of Japanese invaders and show the power of our 772nd Regiment."

As the regiment commander gave the order, more than 772 people from the entire nd Regiment were quickly mobilized, and everything was prepared for tomorrow's battle.

There are more than a thousand enemies this time, which is considered a powerful force. We would definitely not dare to provoke them in the past, but now, they are just ordinary ones and it is easy to defeat them.

That night, the entire regiment moved to the designated area, built ambush positions in advance, and waited for the arrival of the Japanese army.

At noon the next day, a battalion of Japanese infantry and a squad of tank troops appeared in the soldiers' sight.

The captain of the Japanese team this time was named Taro Sanada. He was ordered by the First Army Headquarters to go to Lin County to transport various military supplies.

There are wars going on all over Shanxi Province right now. Most of the Japanese are hiding in large strongholds and county towns, and the corresponding supply of materials will also become a big problem.

In the past, a squad dared to charge around in its own territory, but now, even if a large battalion is sent out to deliver supplies, they are all timid, fearing that they will not be able to return after leaving the city.

It can be completely described in one sentence: "Now the world has changed, and the offense and defense of the enemy and us have become different."

So this time Yoshio Shinozuka thought of a good idea. He assigned the tank regiment under the First Army to the transport team in the form of squads. A battalion of infantry plus six tanks could easily defeat an infantry regiment of the Eighth Route Army, even those organized infantry regiments.

Of course, super infantry regiments like the Independent Regiment are exceptions, which may not be defeated even by a whole regiment, so the subsequent operations deliberately avoided the defense zone of the Independent Regiment.

In order to retaliate and contain the Independent Regiment, Yoshio Shinozuka has already drawn a field brigade from the reserve to specifically keep an eye on the Independent Regiment and prevent it from making any other moves.

In addition to a number of more than 7000 people, a field brigade also has an artillery battalion, which is more than enough to guard the independent regiment.

In the eyes of the old Japanese soldier Yoshio Shinozuka, the other infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army were not worth mentioning at all. If he wanted to use his arms to stop a chariot, they could just be used to establish his authority.

The main reason is that the First Army has been badly beaten during this period, and it needs to find some sense of presence, otherwise his position as commander will be a bit unstable.

When Ichiro Sanada saw the hillside in front of him, he felt that there might be an ambush, so he specially found the captain of the tank squad named Kurokawa Meichi, wanting to conduct a thorough reconnaissance first.

However, Captain Kurokawa, who had never suffered any blow in China, turned his nose up in the air and sneered with disdain:

"Sanada-kun, you infantrymen are just cowards. There's nothing to be afraid of on such a small hill. The Eighth Route Army is not stupid. Why would they choose such a place for an ambush?"

"Besides, even if there is an ambush, what can you do? Look at what I'm riding. This is a medium tank, not an ultra-light tank that can't even be defended against heavy machine guns. In this kind of terrain, our tanks can fully exert their maximum power. No Chinese army can withstand the impact of our tank squad."

In fact, there is a chain of contempt in the Japanese army. Generally, pilots are the most honorable, followed by naval sailors, then tank troops, then cavalry troops, and at the bottom are infantry.

Infantrymen, in particular, have a low status as soldiers holding guns, and are looked down upon by all branches of the military.

This is also the reason why Captain Kurokawa, whose military rank is far lower than Captain Sanada, is so disrespectful to him.

If the team leader under Captain Sanada dared to speak like this, he would have been slapped in the face a long time ago.

However, what Kurokawa said was not without reason. If he were a member of the 772nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, he would not choose such a low hillside with no strategic location to defend.
