Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated
Chapter 132 How to Destroy a Type 95 Light Tank
After occupying Niangzi Pass, Kong Jie did not forget the main task of their independent regiment. In this Zhengtai Railway raid, each unit has its own goal.
For example, the comrades of the Fifth Regiment of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region are responsible for attacking the railway station this time, and then they need to blast and destroy the station.
The independent regiment needs to blow up the railway bridge on the east side of Niangzi Pass in the pass.
If this section of the transportation line can be successfully destroyed, the devils will not be able to restore traffic within three months.
At this time, the soldiers in the regiment were very busy. After capturing this place, the third battalion commander found that there was an ammunition depot next to the devil's barracks, and there were many weapons and equipment stored in it.
Although there was no barreled gun that was most needed for this mission, grenade launchers and melon grenades could be supplemented. The soldiers brought a lot of supplies for this operation, but weapons are definitely not too much as long as they can be carried.
Seeing the third battalion commander who was directing work not far away, Kong Jie called him over to assign the next task. He pointed to the bridge and facilities in the pass that were looming in the distance and said:
"You assign a company of soldiers to accompany the engineers! Take some comrades to blow up the bridge! The other comrades go to destroy other facilities of the devils!"
"Remember one thing! All telephone lines are not allowed to be left to the devils! Burn the electric poles too!"
"Take away the captured materials if you can! Be generous, don't take all the junk home, and blow up everything you can't take away!"
The reason for saying this is not because Kong Jie is ambitious but incompetent, but mainly because the troops are changing equipment very quickly, even his basic regiment can achieve 70% French weapons.
A large number of equipment of different models and calibers will only put the logistics department under great pressure. Moreover, carrying too many things at this time will even reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops.
If the independent regiment acts alone, the equipment in the arsenal must be taken away as much as possible. After all, even if they don't use it themselves, they can find opportunities to equip nearby county brigades and district squads.
But now is a major battle for the entire army, and carrying too many supplies will affect the mobility of the troops. Moreover, considering that the fighting might last for a long time, they brought a lot of ammunition before setting off.
So Kong Jie ordered that except for the necessary support weapons, the rest should not be taken.
But the telephone line is different. It is very important for both the devils and the Eighth Route Army.
The reason why the enemy is very mobile is mainly because there are telephones for timely communication. When the communication conditions are perfect, whenever the Eighth Route Army attacks a certain point, the nearby enemies will immediately reinforce.
These telephone lines can also be used after they are taken back. The troops have the organization of telephone soldiers.
These unknown comrades are like carrier pigeons on the battlefield. They often have to risk artillery fire and stray bullets to set up communications between units at all levels.
As for the destruction of bridges, these were all trained before the war, and the temporary transfer engineers are fully capable of this job.
The bridge on the east side of Niangzi Pass is a bit special. When building it, the engineers of Gallic Chicken used a variety of materials.
The front half of the bridge is composed of six continuous arched stone bridges, while the back half is composed of a mixture of iron, stone and wood.
The destruction plan of the third battalion commander was very scientific. He decided to place the explosive packs in places that were easy to place and difficult for the enemy to repair.
For example, the bridge foundation, the bridge foot, the arch iron girders, and the iron plate girders.
The wooden structure parts needed to be set on fire again. If there was not enough time, he would even want to send people to saw them apart to achieve the result that they could not be repaired.
While the third battalion led the engineers to destroy, the first and second battalions of the independent regiment were checking their own equipment. They were ready to go down the mountain at any time to help the friendly forces of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region attack the railway station.
Kong Jie stood on the commanding heights and observed the battlefield with a telescope. The attack of the brother troops was not very smooth. The bunkers in the railway station blocked the pace of their regiment's attack.
The small-caliber mortars caused limited damage to these fortifications. The fifth regiment could only send a commando to use explosive packs to blast them, but this was not only difficult but also time-consuming.
However, there is only one left among the four fortresses. This defensive building made of cheap blue bricks and wood is almost vulnerable to the heavy yellow explosives.
Originally, according to the current situation, it was only a matter of time to take down the railway station. But an accident still happened. During the battle between the two sides, a military train suddenly drove along Zhengtai Road.
There were 800 Japanese soldiers on the train who were going to Shimen. For some reason, they were not stopped by the troops who destroyed the railway.
And they seemed to have received accurate information and knew that the Eighth Route Army was attacking the entire Zhengtai Road, so the Japanese soldiers were ready to fight on the train.
When they found that there was a firefight near Niangziguan Station, these Japanese soldiers immediately joined the battle.
In addition to the original defenders, the enemy faced by the Fifth Regiment was a battalion. The only good news was that the other side did not have any heavy weapons, but only pure infantry that was temporarily put together, and the coordination was also average.
But even so, the Japanese soldiers with support still broke out with strong combat effectiveness, and they even recaptured some of the outer positions occupied by the Fifth Regiment.
If it were not for the battalion commander who led the assault team to his death and pressed the enemy back under the firepower advantage provided by the submachine gun, it would be hard to say whether the two sides were evenly matched now.
Seeing this situation, Kong Jie led his troops to the battlefield below quickly. In the field command post of the fifth regiment, a group of commanders and soldiers saw the somewhat anxious Commander Chen.
When reinforcements finally arrived, the other party grabbed Kong Jie's arm and told him the biggest problem now.
"Lao Kong! You're here just in time! Bring out your regiment's infantry artillery and fire a shot at the turret in front of you!"
"The little devils are very sharp-eyed. We were discovered by their patrols during the ambush, which caused the battle to start early."
"Fortunately, things are going smoothly on your side, otherwise I would have become a sinner for the ages."
Without Commander Chen's reminder, Kong Jie knew that only infantry artillery could break the situation at this time. Regardless of whether they were attacking or retreating, the bunker was stuck in the most uncomfortable position for them.
After calculating the time, he waved to the rear and signaled the artillerymen to push the big baby up. On the mountain road just now, a whole cannon couldn't be brought down. The soldiers could only dismantle the cannon into parts and carry them down.
While the two regiment commanders were talking, the artillery platoon of the second battalion had completed assembling the enhanced version of the Type 92 infantry gun.
The soldiers first aimed the 78mm muzzle at the area where the fortress was located, and then adjusted the height and direction machines based on their previous experience in firing guns.
After receiving the signal from his regimental commander, the artillery platoon leader opened the gun bolt himself. If someone looks into the barrel at the loading port, they can also find the rifling carved by Wu Sixue himself.
After receiving the shell handed over by the deputy, the platoon leader loaded it in, then closed the gun bolt and prepared to fire.
"fire!"
At Kong Jie's order, the platoon leader pulled the match rope hard, and the shell directly hit the fortress that had troubled the fifth regiment for dozens of minutes. When Captain Chen saw this scene, he immediately showed a shocked expression. No one can refuse the joy that artillery brings to people.
"Fast forward to Chaldean 155 or Project 261, and let's make happy dog bombs together."
The moment it was confirmed that it hit the target, the artillery platoon of the independent regiment immediately took this only asset and moved its position without looking back.
No one knows whether the Japs in the train station have heavy weapons. If this treasure is destroyed by the enemy, it is estimated that all the soldiers in the regiment will not be able to spare him, the platoon leader.
Just when the two regiment commanders were about to order the attack, bursts of exclamations came from the combat zone. Kong Jie hurriedly lay on the parapet and took out his telescope to check the situation on the front line.
I saw two Type 95 light tanks slowly driving out from the gate of Niangziguan Railway Station.
But it is obvious that there are some problems with the light tanks mentioned by these devils. The originally flexible body is now full of frustration when driving, and it cannot even turn sensitively.
In fact, there are a total of thirteen tanks and armored vehicles in the auto repair shop, but now only these two 95 light tanks can be driven out, and their power units have not been completely repaired.
But even so, the 37mm-caliber main gun and two 7.7mm machine guns on this light tank still brought a great sense of oppression to the soldiers.
Moreover, the Japanese also know that their tank armor is very fragile. Last year's Battle of Nomenkan proved this.
Even if the angle is tricky enough, a rifle can paralyze it. So around this light tank, there were a lot of infantry following.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these infantry have not practiced infantry-tank coordination. They are distributed in vulnerable locations such as behind the heat dissipation cover and on the tracks, and they simply use their bodies as "reactive armor".
After leaving the train station, the two light tanks began to wreak havoc on the battlefield. In conjunction with the grenade launchers and mortars from the rear defenders, the front was pushed back step by step.
The soldiers of the fifth regiment tried to fight back with the weapons in their hands, but whether they were rifles or machine guns, they could only shoot a few sparks on the tank's armor.
Comrades have not never thought of using the 60 mortars in their hands to fight back, but the mortar itself is a direct-fire weapon with limited accuracy, and the damage mainly depends on shrapnel.
Even if the pillar is used to launch at this time, even if it can hit the top of the weakest armor of the Type 95 light tank, it will be difficult to cause particularly serious damage.
Commander Chen watched the frontline soldiers being beaten and retreating, and felt so distressed that he even bit his lip. At this moment, the only solution he could think of was the infantry cannon of the Independent Regiment.
When he turned back to discuss with the people in the independent regiment, Kong Jie had already directed the artillery platoon to move to the side of the tank, but neither of them knew whether the Type 92 infantry cannon could penetrate the Japanese light tank.
The main reason is that this thing is originally a light support artillery, and the short barrel is not suitable for fighting tanks at first glance.
Although none of them had similar experience, the two veterans with rich combat experience still knew the concept of a gun barrel that is long enough and has a muzzle velocity fast enough to penetrate armor.
"Old Chen! I can try firing a cannon here! But after firing, you will definitely be targeted by the Japanese!"
"No matter what the outcome is then, there's a good chance we won't have the chance to fire a second shot! We have to think of a way!"
Commander Chen of the fifth regiment nodded. After all, they had already destroyed a bunker with this gun before. The Japanese must have been prepared, and their artillery might be waiting somewhere.
Suddenly, the guard on the side suddenly stood up. Then he picked up the explosive pack and rushed towards the battlefield ahead. This was the best method he could think of under the current situation.
However, this warrior did not rush forward blindly. He already had a rough plan in his mind.
Although he is only a guard, he is very serious about his study and likes to read various books in his private time, which gives him a certain understanding of tanks.
In addition to its weak armor, the enemy's bean tank also has a certain blind spot in its firepower field of view.
Take the Type 95 light tank as an example. The crew can neither see nor hit anything within five meters of it. When the range is expanded to twenty meters, although the members in the car can be seen, they cannot be hit.
What's more, it's dark now, and the Japanese's searchlights and flares can't take care of every corner of the battlefield.
So in theory, as long as he moves carefully enough during the charge, he is very likely to complete the blasting mission.
"This is the data given in the Militia Mine Demolition Textbook."
Of course, the Japanese also know this problem.
Therefore, those Japs near the tank must not only protect weak positions, but also bear the responsibility of attacking the blind spots of the tank's field of vision.
But the guard chose to believe in his regiment leader and friendly forces. He firmly believed that his comrades would definitely create an opportunity for him to explode.
Everyone did not betray his trust, when the soldiers on the battlefield saw someone approaching the enemy tank with a pack of explosives.
Everyone spontaneously used their weapons to launch fierce attacks. Suppress the Japanese infantry with firepower and cut off their connection with the tanks.
Under such cover, he used a low-profile leap to approach the Japanese tank from the flank. Then with bold and quick movements, he reached a position two meters away from the tank.
The guard saw the right moment and accurately threw the explosives to the front of the tank while pulling the fire.
Then he quickly opened a distance of three meters and lay down to take cover. He even pulled out the shell gun from his waist and was ready to eliminate the enemy tank members.
With a huge explosion, the little devil's Type 95 light tank was scrapped on the spot, and none of the crew members inside survived.
At the same time, the independent regiment's enhanced version of the Type 92 infantry gun also hit another light tank. Although it was a direct-fire weapon, the hit rate was so high that the platoon leader of the artillery platoon was a little unbelievable. It was dark night now.
Facts have proved that the concerns of the two regiment commanders were unfounded. The thickest armor of the Type 95 light tank is only 12 mm. How could a 78-caliber barrel gun not be able to penetrate a small bean?
