The Japanese tanks are not very fast, and Mei Jiuling's Ling Ling Yi tank is in a stationary state. The distance between the two sides is only a little more than 100 meters. At such a close distance, if it still can't hit, then Mei Jiuling, the tank battalion commander, can't hit it. Stop being a fool, just go back to your hometown in Shanghai and sell stinky tofu.
The 89mm caliber kinetic energy bullet hit the front of the Japanese tank's bottom almost instantly.
In an era when helicopters and anti-tank mines have not yet been widely used, the protective armor of tanks generally only focuses on the front and two sides. Tail armor is sometimes considered, but the top and bottom will definitely be ignored, because With all armor on the top and bottom, the weight of the tank will be too huge, which will seriously affect the tank's mobility. After all, the traction of the tank engine is also limited.
The bottom armor of the Japanese Type 97 medium tank is even weaker.
In the field of vision, the front bottom of the Type 97 medium tank was instantly penetrated. After the kinetic energy bullet penetrated the bottom of the tank, it produced a large amount of high-speed metal turbulence. The four Japanese tank soldiers in the carriage were killed instantly. Death, the remaining kinetic energy bombs formed a roll in the car, almost turning the equipment inside into a ball of pulp.
The Japanese tank was destroyed almost instantly, but under the action of inertia, it drove forward dozens of meters, and the vehicle body just crossed the top of the gentle slope. Therefore, when the flames and green smoke generated by the explosion came from the Type 97 medium-sized When the tanks' shooting holes and observation holes popped up, none of the Japanese tanks behind the gentle slope could be seen.
Immediately afterwards, more Japanese tanks emerged from the top of the gentle slope.
Mei Jiuling turned the shooting angle slightly and re-aimed at a Japanese Type 95 light tank. While pressing the launch button, he shouted through the communication channel: "You bastards, I know you have been patient for a long time. Take advantage of today's opportunity and let the little devils like you have a taste of the cannon in your hands, haha!"
The next moment, the Tank Battalion's message channel exploded.
"Wow, wow, my cannon is already so thirsty!"
"I'm here, I'm here, this Japanese tank is mine, no one is allowed to steal it from me!"
"Look at me, look at me, look at me blowing out the butt of this Japanese tank, wow!"
"Mistress, your girl's taste is really strong, and his sister's butthole is also poked, it's so disgusting!"
Amid the shouts and curses of the officers and soldiers of the tank battalion, sixty-nine T-34B tanks opened fire one after another, dumping rounds of 89mm caliber kinetic energy bombs onto the front bottom of the Japanese tank. The Japanese tanks were hit and destroyed one after another without any precautions, and they did not even have time to send a warning to the Japanese tanks behind them.
Because even the Western powers did not install communication systems until the latest tanks.
For example, the Soviet Union's T system tank was not equipped with a communication system until the T-34b tank, while the T-34a tank did not have an on-board communication system. Japan's industrial manufacturing foundation is even weaker. In order to reduce weight as much as possible, the Nine Most of the Type 5 and Type 97 tanks are not equipped with communication systems, and only a handful of tanks responsible for command are equipped with communication systems.
Therefore, the Japanese tank under attack has no way to send out a warning signal through the vehicle communication system.
So on the other side of the gentle slope, the Japanese tanks behind them were still unaware, and they were still driving forward one after another, trying to cross this very ordinary-looking gentle hillside.
…
On the other side of the gentle slope, the No. 003 Tank No. 003 driven by Kaoru Hattori was slowly driving towards the top of the slope.
Without warning, Hattori Kaoru suddenly felt a sick feeling on his back, and then shouted loudly: "Stop!"
The Japanese driver immediately braked and stopped the tank on a gentle slope. At this time, it was only one meter away from the top edge of the gentle slope. After stopping the tank, the Japanese driver turned back and asked Hattori Kaoru: "Your Excellency, Division Commander ,What's wrong?"
Hattori Kaoru stared outside through the observation hole and said in a deep voice: "Something's not right, there's fire and smoke ahead!"
Although there was a gentle slope blocking the view, after nearly a hundred tanks were destroyed by Mei Jiuling's tank battalion, the Japanese tanks in the rear finally became alert, because at this time the fire and smoke rising from the gentle slope were already obvious. , it is easy to find out if you pay a little attention, and the old devil Hattori Kaoru discovered the abnormality.
Hattori Kaoru's No. 003-1 tank was equipped with an on-board communication system.
At that moment, Hattori Kaoru issued a combat order to the two armored regiments of the 3rd Armored Division through the vehicle communication system, bypassing the gentle slope in front, and detouring from the left and right sides! Although he couldn't see the other side of the gentle slope, based on past experience, Hattori Kaoru was sure that his 3rd Armored Division must have been ambushed.
However, Hattori Kaoru did not expect that it was the Chinese tank troops that ambushed them!
Hattori Kaoru thought that the Chinese had built an artillery position on the gentle slope first, so the old Japanese decided to avoid the front of the Chinese artillery and go around from the left and right sides.
Soon, the Japanese tanks that were following up stopped one after another, then turned and split into two groups. Their tracks rolled towards the left and right sides of the gentle slope. However, at this time, the queue of Hattori Kaoru's 3rd Armored Division was already smaller than before. A lot of them were lost, with less than two hundred combat tanks left.
…
Down the gentle slope, there is the Mei Jiuling tank battalion position.
After a few minutes without seeing the follow-up Japs tanks emerging from behind the gentle slope, Mei Jiuling became acutely aware that the Japs must have discovered it. This meant that the ambush had come to an end, although the incoming Japs tanks could not be caught. Killed them all, but being able to kill nearly a hundred Japanese tanks is already a good result!
Next, it's time to have a showdown with the Japanese tanks.
After thinking about it, Mei Jiuling asked Wei Zhen to open the gas pedal to the maximum and accelerate uphill!
At the same time, through the communication channel, Mei Jiuling issued an order: "Everyone go uphill!"
The voice of Tie Chong, commander of the second tank company, immediately rang out from the communication channel: "Battalion Commander, will the Japanese tanks follow our example and hide on the other side of the gentle slope, waiting for us to show up?"
Tie Chong's worry is not unreasonable, because the gentle slope blocks the sight of both sides equally. Mei Jiuling's tank battalion can hide below the gentle slope to ambush the Japanese above, and the Japanese tanks can also hide above the gentle slope, etc. The moment the tanks of their tank battalion crossed the ridge of the gently sloping mountain top, they ambush them.
Mei Jiuling said disapprovingly: "Tiezi, you are overthinking it. The Japanese don't even know that we are tank soldiers!"
Tie Chong said nothing more. Immediately afterwards, the entire tank battalion of sixty-nine tanks accelerated up the gentle slope. When encountering a destroyed Japanese tank blocking the road, they did not dodge or evade, but violently crashed into it. , a distance of less than a hundred meters, which is only ten seconds for a tank sprinting at full speed.
In the blink of an eye, the sixty-nine tanks of the tank battalion had arrived at the top of the slope.
Mei Jiuling's No. 0001 tank was the first to rush across the ridge. First, the car body was suspended in the air, and then fell suddenly. The front of the car hit the grass hard, making a loud bang. The ambush that Tiechong was worried about did not come. The little Japanese didn't expect it, so he didn't wait here and instead ambush their tank battalion.
The car body fell back, and Mei Jiuling quickly put her eyes behind the observation hole and looked out.
Not even a single Japanese tank was found in the front of the field of vision, but there was smoke and dust rising into the sky in the distance. I don't know if it was the smoke and dust left after the Japanese tanks drove in, or there were more Japanese tanks heading here, but for tanks For the battalion, it is no longer so important whether there are more Japanese tanks coming from a distance.
Because the top priority is to kill the Japanese tank in front of us first!
"Wei Zhen, turn left, turn left, turn left quickly!" Mei Jiuling yelled.
Wei Zhen pushed the joystick fiercely, and the Zero Zero Unit tank immediately turned on the spot and pointed to the left.
Mei Jiuling looked out through the observation hole again, and sure enough he saw a large group of Japanese tanks already in battle formation, trying to detour from the left side of the gentle slope. Immediately afterwards, Mei Jiuling turned as fast as possible. At the rear of the car body, looking out through the rear observation hole, I found that there was also a Japanese tank on the right side.
"You little devil, you still haven't made any progress! The infantrymen are doing this, and the tank soldiers are still doing this! Apart from making detours, don't they know anything else?" Mei Jiuling laughed twice, and then yelled at the communication channel. He said, "Tiezi, lead the 2nd Tank Company to turn right, and the 1st Tank Company, follow me and charge to the left! You are all aiming at me and stab the little devil in the ass!"
"Yes, no problem!" Tie Chong's roar and loud laughter immediately rang out from the communication channel.
Then, the sixty-nine T-34 tanks that rushed up the gentle slope immediately formed a formation and rushed behind the Japanese tanks.
Mei Jiuling's No. 0001 tank quickly bit a Japanese tank. Mei Jiuling adjusted the shooting angle and height while waiting for the best shooting opportunity. At a certain moment, while the body of the No. 0001 tank was completely While keeping moving forward steadily, Mei Jiuling pressed the launch button hard.
Two hundred meters ahead, the butt of the Type 97 medium tank locked by Mei Jiuling immediately burst into a dazzling red light, and then the entire tank burst into a huge fireball, because After the kinetic energy projectile penetrated the butt of the Type 97 tank, the metal turbulence formed penetrated the tank's fuel tank, triggering a fatal explosion.
Almost at the same time, more than 30 tanks behind the Zero-One tank also opened fire.
Groups of red light and streaks of smoke and dust bloomed in the queue of Japanese tanks in an instant. Those red lights were caused by the Japanese tanks being hit, but the smoke and dust were the dust splashed on the ground when the shells failed to hit. With just one salvo, more than a dozen Japanese tanks were destroyed.
