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

After our artillery bombardment ended, the tank troops reloaded and fired another round at the target. This time only one shell hit the target.

Seeing this, Kong Hao ordered the tank troops through the walkie-talkie to move forward another 200 meters and then continue to bombard the enemy's stronghold.

As the distance got closer, the hit rate would rise sharply. Basically, 2-3 shots would hit the target, and there was even one time when all four shots hit the target. About an hour later, more than a dozen bunkers and two large artillery towers in the enemy's stronghold were destroyed.

Although the artillery towers were built quite solidly, they could not withstand the repeated attacks of tank guns. As long as we make another effort, we can completely destroy the two artillery towers.

Faced with this situation, the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold were actually on the verge of collapse. Many enemies were even numb and were waiting for the final judgment.

When Captain Fujita saw that our tanks had reached 600 meters, he ordered all the grenade throwers to move quickly to the front trenches, hoping to destroy our tanks with grenade launchers.

According to their understanding, if the grenades fired by the grenade launcher can destroy their tanks, then there must be a chance to damage our tanks.

Seeing this, Commander Yun immediately ordered all mortars to focus on bombarding the enemy's grenade launchers in order to cover our tank troops.

However, despite this, we eliminated the enemy in the first time, but the four tanks were still hit by more than a dozen grenades. The fragments produced by the explosion hit the armor of the tanks, making an extremely harsh sound, which made the heads of the people in the tanks buzz.

After all, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation. During previous tests, no one was willing to use precious tanks for this kind of test.

At this time, Platoon Leader Wu already had some understanding of why the chief consultant chose to test the tank's performance on the battlefield. Some things really could not be seen on the test field.

After the enemy's artillery bombardment ended, Kong Hao saw that his goal had been achieved and immediately ordered all tanks to withdraw quickly.

After receiving the order, Platoon Leader Wu also ordered the remaining three tanks to evacuate in batches through the walkie-talkie, but they had to do it in reverse, after all, the front armor of the tanks was too thick.

The Japanese and puppet troops breathed a sigh of relief when they saw our tanks withdrawing. The situation they had just been in, where they were being suppressed by four tanks, was too terrifying.

Captain Fujita ordered his men to repair the positions destroyed by artillery shells, and at the same time sent people to collect the grenade launchers that were still usable on the positions. Now he regarded the grenade launchers as his life-saving straw. This was the only heavy weapon that could make our tank troops retreat.

If Kong Hao knew about this, he would probably smile slightly, but he would not tell them specifically, thinking that the Japanese were overthinking it.

Captain Fan, seeing our tanks retreating, asked curiously:

"Captain Kong, are our tanks unable to withstand the enemy's grenade launchers and are we choosing to retreat temporarily?"

"Captain Fan, I think you misunderstood. As I said before, our main goal this time is to test the damage done by the enemy's various weapons to our tanks. We've almost finished collecting the data."

"Let's withdraw now. Our technical staff and logistics support personnel will then confirm and calculate the relevant data. This data will be very important for our future improvements, even more important than conquering this enemy stronghold itself."

"In fact, the damage caused by the enemy's Type 92 heavy machine gun to our tanks at three distances: 1,000 meters, 800 meters, and 600 meters. With this data, we can better train our tank crews in the future."

Although Captain Fan did not understand some of the numerous professional terms, he felt that they were very advanced techniques and he felt very honored.

After the tank retreated to a safe distance, our technicians rushed forward and took detailed records using special measuring equipment.

"These scattered white spots on the front armor of the tanks are probably left behind by enemy Type 92 heavy machine gun bullets that hit our tanks at a distance of about one thousand meters. Quickly count the specific numbers and draw a picture of their distribution. It will be very useful for future analysis and summary."

"Besides, these marks have already rubbed off the first layer of paint on our tank armor. At a distance of 800 meters, they can basically be ignored."

"As for the 600-meter distance, it's already somewhat concave. It seems that the enemy's Type 92 heavy machine gun still poses a theoretical threat to us."

"And these shrapnel scratches, probably left by the enemy's grenade launchers. Come on, some people, quickly count and record them."

This is the busiest time for Technician Wu. These are valuable data obtained through actual combat, which cannot be obtained on the test field no matter how we imitate.

For example, when shooting a Type 92 heavy machine gun, the enemy has their own set of tactical moves, and our troops have also summarized some techniques based on their own habits. There may be a big difference between the two.

Regarding our initial armored forces, Kong Hao defined them as covering our own infantry attacks and mobile artillery positions. As long as our tanks can withstand the close-range attacks of the enemy's Type 92 heavy machine guns, a single shot at a distance of several hundred meters can destroy an enemy heavy machine gun position.

As for the Japanese armored forces, they were mainly dealt with by our recoilless gun teams. In fact, if you really count them, among the current military powers, the Japanese armored forces are the worst, both in terms of personnel training and weapons and equipment.

Although our light tanks can defeat all the enemy's light tanks, a large number of ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that the enemy has absolute air superiority. In this case, a large-scale tank battle between the enemy and us is simply impossible.

We can also take advantage of the tanks' toughness and durability in certain areas to quickly recapture some counties occupied by the enemy. After all, in urban street fighting, perhaps a tank shell can save the lives of hundreds of our excellent soldiers.

When all our tank soldiers climbed out of the cab, they immediately received cheers from everyone present. If this wasn't a battlefield, everyone would have wanted to surround them and throw them into the air to celebrate.

Platoon Leader Wu and others first returned to a special place in the front-line command headquarters, where meals had been prepared. After all, they had been fighting for such a long time, and their physical strength would be greatly consumed, so they needed to replenish their nutrition well.

After finishing the meal and taking a short break, technicians will come over to ask about the various situations encountered during the battle. This is also valuable first-hand experience. Everything will be recorded by a dedicated person, including various details during shooting.

Our armored forces were established relatively recently, and many details are unclear. We don't even have systematic training materials. We can only rely on this clumsy method, consuming a lot of manpower and material resources, to explore and summarize bit by bit.
