Chapter 1043: The confrontation between machine guns and tank guns (1)
"Bastard! The kingdoms have machine guns! Fight back!" Captain Niu Xiaoyuan, the squadron leader of the chariot squadron in the tank, shouted at the top of his lungs, slapped the driver in front.
This is because the Black Hawk Empire tank is not equipped with an in-car telephone, but the noise inside the car is too loud, and the commander's command cannot be transmitted to the driver's ears. The command signal light specially developed for this purpose also has no time to see it during the battle. So body language was developed, and slapping the back hard like Niu Xiaoyuan means moving forward.
Of course, instead of moving towards the position, approaching 400 meters, the front of the tank does not face the position on the top of the mountain, but faces the position directly at the thickest armor angle position, which can not only withstand the firepower of the kingdom people, but also facilitate the firing of the 57MM tank gun located in the turret.
However, since the machine gun can penetrate the 20mm thick armor on the side of the 89 tank, the steel plate and armor edges with a maximum thickness of 25mm on the front also feel unsafe. What we can do now is to make the tank move and make it difficult for the enemy to hit.
The choice Niu Xiaoyuan made in a short few seconds was undoubtedly extremely correct.
The radio station faithfully passed Niu Xiaoyuan's order to the ears of the other tank crews. At the same time, the engine with a maximum power of 170 horsepower in the Type 89 medium tank he was riding on was roaring wildly, spraying out bursts of black smoke to drive the tracks to accelerate obliquely along the hillside, and the 57MM gun, which was pointing diagonally towards the position at three o'clock, fired a fierce fire.
The biggest difference between tanks and fortifications is that tanks are mobile rather than dead objects, and the 89 tank's 57MM short-barrel cannon is much more powerful than the 20mm machine cannon. If it is fired, the tank will naturally take advantage of it.
So although he lost a tank by surprise, the 1st Squadron of the Warriors lost a tank, it was still not enough to scare the squadron leader away. Of course, he did not dare to retreat. Without a withdrawal order, if he retreated, the result would be worse than death in the tank.
However, the brave chariot captain did not know that the 57MM short-body manual artillery equipped with the 89 tank was not only a large caliber, but it was actually another failure of the Black Hawk Empire military industry.
Of course, we can't blame the Black Hawk Empire for being too terrible, as this has something to do with the opponent of the Kingdom they have been staring at.
In fact, the opponent of Kingdom is too weak, so weak that there are basically no tanks. The enemy in the target has no tanks, so what are the tank guns used for? In the idea of saving resources to the maximum extent, the military designers of the Black Hawk Empire designed close-range destroying machine gun fire points, civil fortifications, suppressing infantry firepower and other functions for the seemingly powerful 57MM tank gun. They are definitely good infantry helpers.
This also led to the development and devising the Black Hawk Army to create a large number of equipment to continue to adopt this concept. The 57MM short-barrel cannon is still their best choice. A good helper for infantry is the biggest compliment to them.
It has been proved on the battlefield of the Kingdom that the sandbags and other civil fortifications that the kingdoms are used to pile up are basically not enemies of a single 57MM cannon. If one shot fails, then two cannons will come.
Including the angry Niu Xiaoyuan, the Black Hawk Army tankers all had a strong belief. Under the roar of the imperial chariot, the resistances of the kingdom people were ultimately futile.
They didn't know that the Type 97 medium tank equipped with a slow initial speed and weak armor-piercing ability was almost beaten by the 7th Armored Brigade equipped with M3 light tanks in the Battle of Yangon, Myanmar, four years later.
The invincible 57MM tank gun on the battlefield of the Kingdom could not even penetrate the 13mm to 44mm armor of the M3 light tank. If you want to ensure breakdown, you must reach 200 meters, which is almost a tank bayonet. But before that, the 37mm tank gun equipped by the M3 light tank of the Dark Yuan Empire had already exploded the Type 97 tank of the newly equipped Black Hawk Army.
At the Beizhaoguan position, in order to enable his machine gun fire to withstand the bombing of large-caliber howitzers, Liu Lang ordered the empty gasoline barrel to be filled with sand and gravel in front, and the gap was also filled with sand and gravel. Then, it was not enough, and buried a 15MM thick steel plate after the gasoline barrel.
This is just the front of the fortification, and it is covered with a layer of steel plate and then covered with two layers of logs and laid with soil and sand and gravel as thick as 1.5 meters. As long as it is not hit by the front of the 105-caliber howitzer, these four heavy firepower fortifications that took five days for the engineers to build can be called permanent fortifications.
The main artillery 57MM tank guns of the 1st Squadron of the Tank Brigade to which Niu Xiaoyuan belongs are really weak in the face of these fortifications.
Unless he has the ability, he can hit the shot with an area of only half a square meter in one shot.
But in the crazy maneuver of the tank, he was already performing his best when he could hit the fortifications. If he wanted to hit the shooting, he would go back to China to buy a lottery ticket first! See if he could hit it.
War requires luck, but if it depends entirely on luck, it will die ugly, and ultimately depends on strength.
The Blackhawk Empire's tanks were like ants that had exploded nests, maneuvering disorderly on the hillside and firing counterattacks. The three light tanks were even more rapid, shooting wildly against the position with two 7.7mm machine guns.
At this point, a mountain wind blew, and the yellow-green poisonous smoke became much thinner, because the crazy shooting and shelling smoke began to cover the positions where the two armies fought at the top and hillsides.
But his vision was much better than before. The figures of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment wearing gas masks appeared and disappeared in the Black Hawk Army's vision, and the figures of the Black Hawk Army wearing gas masks were clearly distinguishable in the eyes of the condescending Independent Regiment officers and soldiers.
"Bastard, the kingdom actually has this? Why didn't the damn intelligence officer inform us in advance?" Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei couldn't help but scream in anger after seeing all this in the telescope.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! This mentality, in modern terms, is called: I can't stand the poor and eat a piece of meat. The Black Hawk Empire Army Lieutenant Colonel, who has been used to the smooth journey, hopes to see him to fight poison gas bombs, and then the poor and incomplete kingdom army will either retreat in a mess or be wiped out in a chemical weapon that violates the Convention on Human War.
Unfortunately, this time he faced Captain Lang and would not give him such a chance.
Liu Lang, who had been in a corner of Qiu Tongzhou for four or five years, had known the Black Hawk Empire's evil spirit, how could he still give them such an opportunity? If it weren't for the complex political forms of the kingdom and the king's suspicion, Liu Lang could even give the army across the country a gas mask.
The profits earned by the Merchant Group in recent years with pirated sulfonamide drugs from the future are enough to support this huge consumption.
However, Liu Lang, who is in this generation, knows that many things can be solved not only with money. The magnificent Patriotic War has emerged in many heroes, but the various complex struggles in secret are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, even if their goals are the same.
Eliminating the drought and reserving the essence, and survival of the fittest are the only laws of nature, and nations are no exception. To rise again on this planet, rebirth from the ashes and breaking all rules, it is something this nation must experience.
Liu Lang, who came to this era, could only follow the rules of the times. All he could do was to do himself to the end, a battle at the Beizhao Pass at such a time.
What he could do was to use his troops to fight this seemingly powerful Black Hawk Empire man out to let them understand that they might have been going before, but they really can't do it here.
Whether it is equipment or soldier training level, the independent regiment surpasses them.
"Boom Boom Boom" four consecutive shells exploded more than 20 meters around the fortifications of the fire point. Although it did not cause harm to the fortifications, it exploded several trenches and smoked up. Several soldiers caught off guard were blown away by the shock wave of the shell explosion.
The medical soldiers who had been waiting in the trench quickly lifted the stretcher, carried the injured soldiers and moved them to the other side of the position through the traffic trench.
At this time, no one expressed sadness for the casualties of his comrades. As long as he was still alive, he would shoot at the Black Hawk Army below the position.
Killing more Black Hawk Empires is the greatest comfort to the sacrifice and wounded comrades, rather than tears. This is what all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment realized from the speeches of the regiment commander and commander when they swore on the battle.
The "death" flag written by the old father in the family was hung at the Beizhaoguan Front Command and in front of the regiment commander's case.
In the war to defend the country and the nation, no one can die.
Obviously, the Black Hawks tankers have a high level of training. Even when maneuvering at high speed, their guns are shot very accurately, even if they are just test shots.
They will hit more accurately with the subsequent shelling.
The Black Hawk Army's firepower was also very strong. In addition to the four tank guns that were firing wildly, a heavy machine gun squadron on both wings of the main position was firing wildly, and the six 7.7mm heavy machine guns of three light tanks were also suppressing wildly. Up to twelve grenade launchers were also pouring grenades into various fire points under increasingly clear vision.
After the fortification where the machine gun was located resisted two shells in a row, a machine gun shooter who had shaken off all dust wiped the black ash on his face, cracked his mouth, exposed a bit of yellow teeth, and smiled.
