Rebirth of the Military Industry Power of the Anti-Japanese War

(8 o'clock)

The most effective way to deal with armored clusters is air strikes, but the Red Army's flying regiment now only has 6 old-fashioned bombers, which cannot cause an effective blow compared to more than 200 Japanese tanks; some people have said that "tanks"

"It is the best anti-tank weapon." However, although Hu Weidong has an armored brigade, its number is less than half of the enemy's army, and the quality of the officers and soldiers is even more incomparable. A large part of them can only drive tanks. Let them go

If you fight against the Japanese tanks that have the upper hand in all aspects, isn't that going to end in death?

In addition, we can only rely on artillery and infantry anti-tank weapons. If there are enough heavy artillery with a caliber of 150mm or above, we can rely on the artillery group to provide intensive fire coverage to the advancing enemy armored group at a long distance. The principle is similar to that of air strikes to destroy tanks (

Air strikes have high accuracy and artillery density.), but although the Eighth Red Army now has a lot of heavy artillery, it is far from enough to directly kill more than 200 Japanese tanks at long distances, and fierce battles have begun between the two sides.

In today's firefights, accidental injury is also a huge problem.

The direct aim of artillery to bombard armored targets at a relatively close range is also recognized as one of the more effective anti-tank methods. However, the 15th Red Army currently lacks specialized anti-tank guns (Note 1), let alone cannons that can target armored targets.

An excellent artilleryman who can carry out precise artillery fire on targets. After all, in the past year and a half, although Hu Weidong relied on his personal talent and quick artillery methods to establish a powerful artillery unit, most of the soldiers can only carry out precise artillery fire.

It's just a relatively low area firepower coverage, not to mention that tanks and armored vehicles traveling at high speed are far more difficult to hit than fixed targets...

If the artillery cannot bear the heavy responsibility, it can only rely on the infantry. However, although the Red Fifteenth Army is equipped with a lot of anti-tank rifle grenades, the rifle grenades themselves are not weapons specifically designed for anti-tank, even though they are powerful enough to destroy thin-skinned and large-filled tanks.

Japanese tanks, but the hit rate of attacking tanks is still far behind that of professional anti-tank rocket launchers, and the Red Army's grenadiers have no experience in attacking moving targets before. In particular, although the armor of Japanese tanks is very thin,

The maneuverability and speed are quite good, but it is even more difficult to hit. It is okay when the number of tanks is small. Like now, more than 200 tanks are rushing at the same time. The range of rifle grenades is limited. The most that can attack the target at the same time is

How can a company with only 6 grenade launchers be able to block the torrent of armor? Because of this, since the day infantry anti-tank weapons appeared, they have always only existed as auxiliary means of anti-tank.

.....

In fact, if there are trenches and other means to limit the mobility of Japanese tanks, the existing anti-tank firepower of the 15th Red Army may not be able to stop the Japanese armored clusters, but where can we do it in a hurry?

Just when Hu Weidong was anxious, he didn't know if "the ignorant are fearless". Su Yu, who had only heard about the power of armored group assaults, was much calmer than Hu Weidong, "What are you afraid of? There are only a few hundred iron bastards in total.

As long as we don’t panic, I don’t believe they can kill all of our 100,000 troops.”

When Hu Weidong heard this, he immediately realized that he had just fallen into a misunderstanding. "Yes, the reason why armored group assaults are terrible is because the continuous breakthrough of the position will cause the defenders to panic, so it is easy to be defeated. But,

If the will of the defenders is strong enough, tanks and armored vehicles are essentially no different from other types of arms. In the final analysis, they have to kill the enemies one by one. Compared with our army of 100,000 people, the lethality of Japanese tanks is relatively high.

Insufficient......"

Hu Weidong knew very well that even if the same number of infantry were equipped with individual anti-tank weapons, it would be impossible for the same number of infantry to compete with armored troops. But now the Japanese only have a few hundred tanks, while the Red Army has a hundred thousand soldiers. Even if the Japanese tanks are

Even if all the ammunition is used up, it is impossible to eliminate the infantry squads. With advanced tactics, commanders and fighters are generally good at preserving the main force of the 15th Red Army under artillery fire and machine guns? It’s a lot of words, and if you really have to fight all the way through, just the Red Army

The thousands of grenade launchers equipped by the Fifteenth Army were enough to destroy a mere two to three hundred Japanese tanks...

After opening his mind, Hu Weidong suddenly understood, "The key now is whether our soldiers, especially the commanders, can withstand the huge psychological pressure brought by the torrent of steel without collapsing?"

Regarding this point, even political commissar Zhang Hao, who had not long joined the Eighth Red Army, was confident, not to mention Hu Weidong and Su Yu, so they only needed to think about how to kill the enemy more effectively and reduce the casualties of officers and soldiers.

That's it. Perhaps due to the heavy pressure, Hu Weidong quickly came up with an idea, "Since you can't stop them anyway, then there is no need to stop them..."

Hu Weidong immediately ordered all units of the 15th Red Army to "get out of the way and attack the enemy's flanks and rear." At the same time, aiming at the fragile weaknesses of the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, light firepower such as rifle machine guns were also used.

The armor is only 6-8mm thick, and the German rifle machine gun can easily penetrate it within 50 meters using steel-core bullets (note 2) (the armor-piercing depth of the steel-core 79-point bullet at a distance of 100 meters is 11mm, and the process was improved by Hu Weidong

Afterwards, not only the cost was reduced, but the penetration was also slightly enhanced. However, considering that in actual combat, it is difficult to ensure that the injection is at a vertical angle, and a certain amount of kinetic energy must be retained to kill the crew, a distance of 50 meters is safer.), while armor-piercing

Rifle grenades with stronger capabilities are concentrated on attacking the relatively thick-skinned Japanese medium tanks to further improve combat efficiency. Anyway, due to relevant teachings (thick guns are medium-sized, thin guns are light-weight, 57mm caliber and 37mm caliber).

The difference is still very easy to distinguish.), commanders at company level or above of the 15th Red Army can easily distinguish whether the Japanese tanks are medium or light...

Note 1: Because the Japanese and the National Army do not have much demand for anti-tank, they do not have much combat anti-tank equipment. Therefore, the 15th Red Army has only captured a dozen combat anti-cannons in total, which is not enough to deal with several tanks.

Hundreds of tanks. Although those cannons can also hit tanks with horizontal fire, they are not designed for anti-tank after all. If they are used to hit tanks with close-range direct-aimed cannons, the power is more than enough, but the rate of fire is slow and the target is large (easy to be attacked)

attack), and expensive (the cost of a 105mm cannon is 5 times that of a 37mm combat defense cannon, and the cost of a 150mm field cannon is more than 10 times that of a 150mm field cannon. Considering the slow rate of fire and large targets, using them to compete with tanks will cost a lot of combat defense.

It is dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful than the cannon. Hu Weidong would never do this unless absolutely necessary.) It is far inferior to professional anti-tank guns (anti-aircraft guns are also available, but the 15th Red Army no longer has anti-aircraft guns.)

use.

Note 2: Historically, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the national army was equipped with very few steel core bullets and did not achieve much results in anti-tank operations. However, since Hu Weidong captured the Gongxian Arsenal, in order to reduce costs, not only the newly built bullet production lines were

Steel shells and steel cores, even the production lines of 79-point bullets have been changed one by one. Currently, more than half of the rifle bullets used by the Red Army's 15th Army have steel core bullets, and the proportion is still increasing, so even if the enemy

In case of emergency, there is no need to worry about not being able to find steel-core bullets. However, it is worth mentioning that because the bullets equipped with Type 24 semi-automatic rifles are intermediate-power bullets, their bullet penetration is lower than that of all-round bullets currently widely used in the world.

The powerful bullets are smaller, so they basically cannot be used in anti-armor operations, even for the Japanese's crispy tanks. However, at this time, the 15th Red Army was only equipped with more than 10,000, so the impact was not big, and it was a blessing in disguise.
