Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 263: Tongdeng meat grinder (2)
If you are an ordnance expert familiar with German-made weapons, you may find that the sd.kfz.222 armored vehicle that is approaching is significantly different from the unreserved armored vehicle equipped by the Chinese Army. The original German weapon configuration and the machine gun The left cannon is on the right, and the vehicle configuration exported to the Chinese government is just the opposite. However, the Japanese soldiers at the moment obviously do not have this knowledge. They only know that they have encountered this type of vehicle on the Chinese battlefield, so there is no doubt that the Chinese army must be driving that armored vehicle.
Sure enough, there is collusion between the French and the Chinese government. The best evidence is in front of us. If this armored car can be captured, it will surely give Japan an advantage in the diplomatic battle between the French Indochina government. This was the first thought of Captain Kuno after receiving the report from his subordinates, and promptly issued the order to implement it.
Captain Kuno was full of approval for Morimoto's solo behavior this time, and he regretted that he was still kept in the dark for such a major action. Obviously the captain was wary of him. Are you afraid that you will inform your superiors? The captain cherished this kind of thought, it is too small for others. The Hisano Squadron has always been placed behind as the reserve team. As the squadron leader, his psychology is really unbalanced. Why do you want to deprive his squadron of the opportunity to perform? Is it because he is a newcomer?
No matter how you say it, it’s also a captain. The habit of paying attention to seniority in the imperial army is a bit too pedantic. You must know that he was also a strongman in the Kanto Gendarmerie for a while, and he was killed by the family inherited Murata Sabre. After many fierce Chinese bandits, these fanatics who rebelled against the imperial army dared to call themselves some anti-Japanese coalition army.
Kuno is a hard-core Japanese believer in racial superiority. He despises all non-Japanese Asians from the bottom of his heart. Especially after a year in the Tohoku military police team leader, he became more determined after seeing the ugliness of the pseudo-Manchukuo officials. With this belief, only outstanding Yamato nations are worthy of becoming the masters of Asia.
Since the captain has given the order, he has to obey it. This is the duty of a Japanese army officer, but once there is an opportunity for his squadron to perform, the captain should not blame himself for cutting first and then playing. The captain of Hisano squadron secretly watched the captain walk alone with the mind of Shiakagami coldly. He was waiting for a chance to make his debut on the stage, let Morimoto know that Toshio Kuno is also a courageous Japanese man, he has long cultivated the steel-like Yamato soul.
Now finally the opportunity has come, and what makes him more overjoyed. The opponent is still the Chinese army in collusion with France. This is simply an excellent reason for the conflict that God bestowed on Morimoto Battalion. When he captured the armored car, the whole Battalion would thank himself for it.
The Japanese Army has already learned a lot about light armored vehicles like 222. Although this armored vehicle is very good in maneuverability and firepower, the biggest flaw is that the armor is too weak, but even if this layer is only eight millimeters of steel, it is still a comparison to the Japanese infantry who lacks anti-armor means. Difficult role. Although the 6.5-mm armor-piercing bullet of the 38-type rifle can penetrate eight-mm steel plates within 150 meters, the actual requirements are very harsh and difficult to achieve on the battlefield.
This German-made armored vehicle has a well-designed bulletproof appearance, and there is no vertical steel plate on the top and bottom of the vehicle. Generally, to deal with such armored vehicles, the Japanese army will mobilize Type 92 heavy machine guns or Type 97 automatic guns if conditions permit. The former Type 92 armor-piercing projectile can penetrate 12 mm armor within 300 meters. The latter is a Japanese version developed on the basis of the Swiss Soloton S18 anti-tank gun, which can penetrate 30 mm thick steel plate within 200 meters. However, this kind of automatic gun, which was highly expected by the Japanese army, did not perform well in the Battle of Nomenkan. In the Chinese battlefield, it is rare to encounter armored targets that need it to deal with. In addition, the structure is complicated and expensive. The price was enough to buy eighty three-eight caps, so only 1,200 were produced and the production was discontinued hastily.
The problem now is that the Twelfth Squadron is lacking even personnel, not to mention having this kind of anti-tank equipment that is only assigned to the machine gun squadron attached to the Wing Department. The machine gun squadron of the Morimoto squadron is now attacking the fortress, and there is no time to mobilize the heavy machine guns to the rear, so the Hisano Squadron can only rely on the soldiers' will and technology to shake it up.
The Nomura infantry unit that bears the brunt is ready for battle. Sergeant Xiaomu's machine gun unit and grenadier group also moved to the front of the position. The soldiers hurriedly replaced the rifles with armor-piercing bullets, and then carefully aimed at the high-speed moving target, waiting for the commander of the team, Lieutenant Nakamura to issue an order to fire. .
Lieutenant Nakamura estimated the target distance with his binoculars. The speed of the hurricane armored vehicle at this time was almost 45 kilometers per hour.
"What a reckless guy." Nakamura lowered his binoculars, drew his saber from his waist and pointed forward.
"Stay!"
Hearing the commander of the squad yelling out the command to fire, the soldiers of each unit hurriedly pulled the trigger, and the gunshots sounded like a storm, two 11-year machine guns and two heavy-throwing cartridges immediately The shooting also started, and a puff of light blue gunpowder and dust blown up by the muzzle storm suddenly filled the road.
The occupants in the armored car rushing on the road did not expect to be suddenly attacked. Before the driver could react, the 6.5-mm Sakamoto armor-piercing projectile hit the armor plate of the car body like a torrential rain. Two rounds hit the edge of the opened driving observation window, and the broken bullets were mixed. Sparks shot into the car, and immediately pierced the driver's forehead, and blood immediately flowed down the face.
"Someone is shooting us!" The gunner in the rear turret screamed loudly.
"Don't stop! Hell, turn! Go down the road!" The captain was extremely calm. He quickly judged the situation, and then kicked the back of the driver's seat to give a steering command.
At this time, staying on the road or moving forward will become a target for ambushers. The most correct way to deal with it is to leave the road immediately and look for concealment. After finding out the real situation, consider whether to retreat or fight back on the spot.
"God, what happened!" The driver yelled angrily. He turned the steering wheel and skillfully manipulated the 4.8-ton armored vehicle to fly off the road in a flutter of grass. It fell on the flat ground under the shoulder of the road.
Sd.kfz.222 roared and dashed forward for a distance of almost ten meters, and then the driver pressed the brake forcefully at the command of the captain, and the blue-gray armored car turned almost seventy degrees on the spot. After that, he steadily stopped in the Artemisia annua bush on the side of the road.
"Have any of you been injured?" The captain asked the two subordinates.
"I'm fine."
"Damn it, I broke a hole in my forehead." The driver was looking for his first aid kit under his seat.
"Carl, go and help Chuck." The captain confessed to the gunner, and then quickly pushed open the grenade-proof wire mesh cover above his head.
At this time, the attackers still did not stop the attack, but it was obvious that they had lost their target, they were just shooting blindly. The evidence is that they have never heard the bullet hitting the armor plate since they washed down the road. .
"It's not a big problem, it's just a small opening, and the wound is clean." Crouching down to check the driver's injuries, the gunner raised his head and reported to the captain.
"Report to the lieutenant colonel immediately that we were attacked by an unidentified armed force. One person was injured. We are trying to identify the enemy."
The commander gave an order to the gunner, then carefully straightened up and looked towards the probe outside the turret. Immediately, the commander found that his armored vehicle had been surrounded by two-meter-high artemisia grass. These tall and lush weeds just blocked the two-meter-high small armored vehicle.
"Let me see who these **** are." The captain stood on the seat and looked carefully from the gap in the artemisia bush to the place where the gunfire sounded through the binoculars~IndoMTL.com~ Damn it. "The captain put down the binoculars and rubbed his eyes vigorously. He felt that he couldn't believe what he saw through the binoculars.
"Carl, immediately report to the lieutenant colonel that the Japanese army attacked us."
"What?" The gunner looked at his superior with an unbelievable expression.
"I know what you are thinking right now, send it now."
The commander held the telescope and gave a loud command. In the clear eyepiece of his Zeiss telescope, a conspicuous Hinomaru flag was waving in the wind.
