Take Taobao to fight against Japan

The enemy came fiercely, and concentrated a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, which were much more ferocious than the Japanese troops who faced the enemy before.

But Nie Qingshi did not panic at all. In this continuous hilly area, his troops had dozens of 88mm anti-aircraft guns, hundreds of field guns, and a large number of anti-tank guns, anti-tank rocket launchers and other heavy firepower. With sufficient anti-tank capabilities, they are not afraid of these big iron guys at all.

What's more, there are extremely powerful tanks, armored units and air forces behind the position. Once the battle is tight, they can come to rescue at any time.

"Yes!"

"understand!"

"Roger that!"

"Haha, after waiting for a long time, it's finally our turn!"

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time, brothers, you must kill a lot today!"

"Well, I want to see if these Germans are as powerful as the legends say!"

"People are on the battlefield, and people die on the battlefield!"

After receiving the order, the commanders at all levels were full of fighting spirit. Not only were they not intimidated by the menacing enemy troops, but they were all gearing up, hoping that these enemies could move faster and enter the effective range as soon as possible.

"Change armor-piercing shells!"

Anti-aircraft gunner Yin Xiang first fired a howitzer at a German No. [-] tank, and after a sound of explosion, he saw which tank the shell hit exactly, and a burst of flames shot out.

The powerful force generated by the explosion caused the steel body of the tank to shake suddenly, and the killing radius formed by a large number of fragments and overpressure shock waves instantly killed several surrounding enemy troops directly.

But before Yin Xiang had time to applaud happily, he found that the tank started to move forward again, and was adjusting the barrel to aim at his side.

"Good Le!"

The loader quickly took out a 7.3kg PzGr.40 armor-piercing projectile from the shell box, stuffed it into the barrel and quickly filled it.

Much of the 88mm's success against tanks was due to its performance as an anti-aircraft gun.

The Krupp designers foresaw that as bombers flew faster and higher, anti-aircraft gunners would have to fire bursts of shells to have a chance of hitting their targets.

So, they equipped the "88" with a spring device that, when the cannon recoils, opens the breech block, ejects the barrel, and allows new shells to be loaded.The gunner only needs to place the shells on the gun rack.

This self-loading gun mount works well when the barrel needs to be raised to be most accurate in the air, but when it is necessary to fire the shells in a horizontal direction, this gun mount has its disadvantages.

Without this self-loading gun mount, excellent artillery fires faster.

"Don't kill me yet!"

After Yin Xiang quickly calibrated the gun barrel, he yanked the gun rope without saying a word.

Boom, after a shocking explosion, the armor-piercing projectile rushed out of the barrel at a muzzle velocity of 930 m/s, and blasted towards the No. 7 tank [-] kilometers away.

88毫米防空最大射程 10350米，对地最大射程则是高达14813米，使用PzGr.40穿甲弹可以2000米范围内击穿110毫米的装甲，在100米范围内则是可以击穿170毫米的装甲。

However, it is obvious that, compared with highly mobile tanks, it is impossible for an 88mm anti-aircraft gun to shoot at close range. It can only start beating wildly after entering the effective range!

Although the effect of armor-piercing will be greatly reduced, it is still better than dying before the attack. What's more, as long as it is tied firmly, it can also cause great damage to it, and even hit the soul in one shot.

Even if it is a tiger tank with rough skin and thick flesh, if it takes a few more shots, it will not die or be disabled.

Boom!

A moment later, the PzGr.40 armor-piercing projectile fired by Yin Xiang hit the front armor of the No. [-] tank firmly, and even directly punched a big hole.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Xiang saw through the gun mirror that the No. [-] tank that he had hit twice in a row began to emit thick smoke, and he was completely slumped and unable to move.

Obviously, this armor-piercing projectile made a contribution and directly destroyed a No. [-] tank.

As the most successful artillery system used in World War II, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun shot down at least 6400 British and American coalition aircraft and destroyed at least 2.7 aircraft from other countries. It can also be used as an anti-tank gun. One is its opponent!

It can hit the sky above, the ground below, and the air in the middle. I have to say that the 88mm anti-aircraft gun is really strong!

"Hey, I finally got the first kill! Hurry up and continue loading the armor-piercing bullets. Damn it, there are so many more. What's the matter today, I must kill it!"

Yin Xiang scratched his head very satisfied, and then quickly shook the barrel to aim at another fast-moving Italian tank.

Boom boom boom!

At the same time, the advancing enemy tank group was also firing crazily, crazily outputting towards the Huaxia Huben artillery position on the distant hillside.

Before the hand-to-hand combat began, the fierce artillery battle was already in full swing.

Chapter 1331 Walk all the way and die all the way

More than 7 tanks and armored vehicles led thousands of motorized infantry to launch a fierce attack on their own positions. All the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Brigade of the Huben Expeditionary Army carried out the strongest and most resolute blocking resistance relying on the solid defensive position.

The several-kilometer-long winding hilly fortress stationed by the 7th Brigade has a gentle slope of hundreds of meters in front of it, and a steep cliff in the back, with a vertical drop of more than 100 meters.

Therefore, while they have no worries, they also have no way out.

At this moment, they had no choice but to fight hard, to fight the enemy to the end, even if there was only one soldier left.

People are on the battlefield, and people die on the battlefield!

Boom boom boom!

The 88mm anti-aircraft guns camouflaged and hidden in various positions continued to make loud rumbling sounds. Using their long hands to preemptively strike, they continuously blasted through the moving tanks and armored vehicles, and motorized them synchronously. The infantry took heavy casualties.

The 88mm anti-aircraft gun with a long barrel can destroy tanks such as "Sherman", "Cromwell" and T-3500/34 at a distance of 85 meters, which exceeds the effective range of the above-mentioned tank artillery,

Similarly, the current mainstream medium-sized tanks of the German-Italian coalition have no way to confront the long-range bombardment of 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

Although the companions in front have attracted firepower for the tank troops behind, they are inch-long and inch-strong.

The disadvantage of short hands is that they have no chance to rush into the effective range and launch a counterattack against the 88mm anti-aircraft guns that have exposed their targets, and they will continue to fall under the precise bombardment of the 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

The range of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun gave a pre-emptive advantage when bombarding armored vehicles, and the gunner could hit the tank at a distance of more than two miles.

In fact, the Germans are more mature in their use of 88mm anti-aircraft guns against tank armor.

Generally speaking, anti-tank guns are a passive defensive weapon. The usual method of use is to pre-arrange them at places where enemy tanks may pass, and wait for the enemy to come.

But Rommel gradually worked out a way to use the 88mm anti-aircraft gun as an active attack weapon

He first arranged the camouflage of the 88mm anti-aircraft guns of several units, and then ordered a small group of German tanks to attack the British positions. Introduce an ambush area.

When the 88mm anti-aircraft guns spoke, the British tanks were in danger.

A 22-pound armor-piercing projectile can punch a four-inch-diameter hole in the front armor of a British heavy tank at a distance of nearly 2000 meters.

But German troops often like to wait until they get within 1000 meters before firing.

Because at this time, it only takes a little more than a second for the 88mm armor-piercing projectile to fly from the muzzle to the target, reach the target in an instant, and can penetrate the thickest armored vehicle in the UK.

The British tanks had no time to react, let alone fight back.

A captured British tanker said in frustration: "The 88mm anti-aircraft gun looks inconspicuous, but we have nothing to match it."

But at present, for the Huaxia Huben Expeditionary Army fighting in positional warfare, this kind of coquettish operation is not available for the time being. After all, the opponent is also proficient in this way, and it is really not so easy to return the same way to the other side.

On the contrary, it might be easy to beat the dog with meat buns and never return.

Although it is said that Yang Fan brought some Tiger tanks this time, these are precious bumps, and good steel must be used for the blade, so there is really no need to go shopping for toughness at present.

When the 88mm anti-aircraft guns were showing their prowess, the flat-firing guns, field guns, mortars and other artillery hidden in various positions would also not be idle, and the shells were vented at the German and Italian coalition forces for free.

Under the cover of such dense artillery fire, the menacing enemy armored groups and motorized troops were constantly destroyed and smashed.

In the sound of frying beans, amidst the billowing smoke, each and every living life is constantly withering and disappearing, and it really is walking all the way to death.

"I don't kill people, people will kill me", at this moment when you die and I die, there is no need to consider benevolence and humanitarianism. All the officers and soldiers of the Huben army have only one thought in their hearts, and that is to not give up an inch of land and kill all who come. The enemy of crime!

The offensive will of the German-Italian coalition forces was also very resolute. Even though they paid a very heavy price on the way to charge, they did not retreat because of this. Instead, they became more and more violent like a group of wounded beasts.

After a full-speed assault, although most of the tanks and armored vehicles were wiped out on the way forward, this German-Italian assault force finally rushed into the defensive position of the Huben Expeditionary Army, and the fierce short-handed combat was finally staged.

"Kill!"

"German devils, all die!"

"If you want to break through from us, save your life first!"

"Brothers, hit me hard, leave no one behind, kill!"

When the tip of the needle hit the wheat awning, the officers and soldiers of the Huben army who had been waiting for a long time let out angry roars. Anti-war artillery, rocket launchers, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, grenades, all kinds of things were all in use.

At this time, the battlefield is completely in chaos, and both the enemy and the enemy are trying their best to kill each other.

However, it is clear that the Huaxia Huben Army, which has a geographical advantage, a strong will to fight, and is armed to the teeth, has firmly gained the upper hand from the very beginning, and its powerful firepower network continues to cause heavy casualties to the enemy.

Although the German-Italian coalition forces dominated by the German army fought fiercely, their weapons and equipment were not bad, and the number of attackers was also very large, it was like a violent sea wave, one wave after another was extremely turbulent.

But flesh and blood are still flesh and blood after all, after encountering this strong line of defense, they melted and disappeared at an extremely fast speed like snow under the scorching sun, turning into cold corpses stained with blood .

126 Highland, 5.5 kilometers northeast of 135 Highland.

Duan Zhongyi, Commander of the 4th Division of the Huben Expeditionary Army, Ning Shanxiang, Chief of Staff, Qin Hui, Commander of the 8th Brigade, Duan Anguo, Commander of the Armored Regiment directly under the division headquarters, and other senior generals were standing on the top of the mountain watching the battle.

Through the binoculars, Duan Zhongyi had a very clear view of the front side of the battlefield. He saw at least 30 tanks and more than 2000 enemy soldiers rushing into the forward position, and they were engaged in an extremely fierce life-and-death battle with the officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade.

In addition, there is a large wave of enemy armored groups and motorized units farther away that are quickly attacking the 7th Brigade's position.

"Master, the armored regiment requests to fight! If you don't go to support the 7th brigade, I'm afraid the brothers will suffer a big loss!"

Duan Anguo had long wanted to take the armored troops into the battlefield to help the brothers. Now that the 7th Brigade was in danger, it seemed that it would soon be in a desperate situation. He couldn't bear it, so he immediately volunteered!

Chapter 1332

"No, the time is not yet ripe! The equipment and combat quality of the German army are indeed far superior to those of the Japanese army. Going into battle rashly will only be moths to the flame!"

Duan Zhongyi waved his hand lightly, not because he was reluctant to let his children go to the front line to fight for their lives, but because the current enemy army is in full swing, and its strength is extremely strong.

The German-Italian coalition forces are not only frantically attacking the defensive positions of the 7th Brigade, but are engaged in high-intensity and high-intensity life-and-death battles within the surrounding square kilometers.

Putting the tank and armor regiment directly under it on the battlefield at this moment, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be swallowed up by the German and Italian armor clusters rushing madly, and it will not play much effect.

After a pause, Duan Zhongyi went on to say: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The most important thing for us now is to avoid its edge and dampen its spirit. We must rely on positional warfare to consume the enemy's vital strength first."

"Well, it is true. This time we are fighting a defensive battle, not a decisive battle with the enemy. The enemy is twice as powerful as me, and his combat power is not much worse than ours. In this case, it is true. It is not appropriate to fight recklessly with them in the wild!"

Ning Shanxiang looked up at the enemy and our air forces who were still fighting fiercely in the distance, and then continued: "But the enemy air force is already too busy to take care of itself at the moment, we can definitely use rocket artillery units and call for air support, and request the ground attack aircraft fleet to advance." Come to help out!"

"Exactly what I want!"

Duan Zhongyi smiled and nodded, and then said with pride: "Not only that, our heavy artillery unit can also be pulled out to show off. Although we can't directly send troops to reinforce the 7th Brigade, we can definitely provide them with strong fire support. .”

"The distance is 1 meters, the azimuth is three degrees north-northwest, the wind speed is ten, and the wind direction is north-northwest!"

Repeat, the distance is 1 meters, the azimuth is north by northwest three scales, the wind speed is ten, and the wind direction is north by northwest! "

"All gun positions are available! One test shot! Fire!"

After receiving the order, the heavy artillery regiment at the rear quickly removed the camouflage and began to adjust the shooting.

Soon, the cannon howitzers were adjusted according to the data reported by the artillery observers, and then a shell roared out, drawing bright beams of light in the air.

Boom boom boom, after a while, the shells fell to the ground and blossomed, but it was a pity that the landing point was not ideal. They failed to land in the center of the enemy army, but landed in the open space on the enemy's flank, and did not cause any damage. what harm.

Seeing this, the observer hurriedly reported through the walkie-talkie: "Report to the team, adjust the shooting angle down by one point of zero, and then move one and a half scales to the left!

Repeat, the shooting angle is adjusted down by one point of zero, and then moved to the left by one and a half scales! "

"Roger that!"

Chen Dateng, the head of the heavy artillery regiment, responded quickly, and then picked up the walkie-talkie to report the parameters on the public channel, and then shouted hurriedly: "Quick, adjust the shooting elements immediately, and shoot three bursts in rapid succession after the adjustment is completed. Act fast! Don’t miss this opportunity!”

"Roger that!"

"understand!"

Naturally, the artillery commanders readily accepted the orders, and kept moving their hands and feet, shaking the steering handle as fast as possible to adjust the shooting elements.

"Ready! Fire!"

Soon, a series of large-caliber cannons roared loudly, and as clusters of soaring flames flashed, shells rushed out of the barrels at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and blasted towards the enemy 12 kilometers away. Enemy ground forces.

"No, the enemy artillery fires at us!"

"Disperse the formation! Dodge the shelling!"

"God, when did the Chinese army become so powerful?"

Although the muzzle velocity of these cannon shells is much higher than that of rocket shells, and there is no obvious long tail flame, but because the distance is too far, the speed of the shells decays quickly, which naturally causes "people arrive before they arrive".

Listening to the palpitating screams of shells coming from far and near, the German-Italian coalition forces with rich combat experience did not know what was happening.

Needless to say, the offensive troops of the German-Italian coalition began to sprint, sprinting forward at the fastest speed, or evading the open areas in the left and right directions.
