Chapter 52 The killing weapon is a bit timid
Tang Dao is naturally not over-thinking.
Although Fukuchijiro was still unmoved by his own crazy bombardment, he would never stop moving. Not to mention that his boss would chop off his dog's head with one knife, he would never give up so easily.
You can say that the island nation is rigid and cold-blooded, and it is not a thing, but it is undeniable that they are one of the most executed nations in the world.
After half an hour of bombardment, Toyota Hide, who was eager to regain her impression in front of her boss, had actually asked Hiroshiro to move the position forward, but they were rejected by Hiroshiro.
He was waiting for the arrival of the chariot squadron.
Toyota Show can't afford to lose, how can he, the convoy captain, afford to lose again?
The 1st Infantry Brigade has now suffered more than 200 combat losses. An infantry squadron of the 3rd Infantry Brigade was directly beaten to half-disabled. The more than 300 combat losses have reached nearly one-quarter of the cumulative combat losses in more than a month.
Although Fukuchijiro gave Toyota Hitomi the death order and had to conquer the warehouse building before the evening, this person is not a fool.
He is not Nogi Haki, but his Majesty the Emperor's teacher and the God of War. He can spend tens of thousands of imperial army's lives to play a decisive charge, and can also become a heroic and good at fighting.
If he did this, he would probably not have done anything to him, Hachijiro.
Once the chariot squadron arrives, the infantry can follow the chariot and the losses will be reduced in geometric multiples.
However, when six Type 94 armored vehicles and four Type 89 tanks of the tank squadron rushed over, the leader of the teammate Ichiro Tokugawa's face instantly looked a little ugly after having a 20mm machine gun in Zhikai's warehouse.
The reason is very simple. In the Battle of Shanghai, the 3rd Division suffered a lot of losses in the Chinese army that they could shoot airplanes and fire flats, and fire tanks and guns.
The chariot squadron under Tokugawa Ichiro originally had three chariot squads, each with 3 Type 89 medium tanks, 2 Type 89 tanks, and 3 Type 94 armored vehicles used for reconnaissance, totaling 14 combat vehicles.
As a result, it has become 6 Type 94 and 4 Type 89. That is to say, they have lost 7 Type 89 tanks and 2 Type 94 armored vehicles on the battlefield, and they have almost been completely wiped out.
At least one-third of these terrible losses were caused by China's terrible 20mm machine guns and 37mm fast guns.
In fact, it is not to say how cruel the 20mm machine cannon is. It is mainly because the two types of tanks currently equipped by the Japanese army are one by one.
The Type 94 does not even have the name of a tank, and the thickest front armor is only a pitiful 12 mm. It is an armored vehicle equipped with a 7.7 mm machine gun. It goes without saying that even the Chinese without armored power dare to call it "Little Dou Ding".
Another medium-sized tank called the main battle tank, the 89-B type, is actually not much better.
It is said that it is a medium tank, but it can only be regarded as a light tank. Its total combat weight is only 12.1 tons and its crew is 4 people. The main weapons are a 57mm short-barrel howitzer and a 7.7mm heavy machine gun, which are mainly used to support infantry operations.
The most serious thing is its armor thickness, which is so stingy that the Japanese Army itself is amazed.
The thickest part of its front armor is only 17 mm, which has completely refreshed people's perception of tanks.
The Western powers of the same period, whether they were the German "Tiger 4 medium tank", the red polar bear's "T34" or the American cowboy's "Sheerman", all of their armors were above 50 mm.
These are just medium tanks. If they are replaced with the heavy model of "Tiger", "T34", and "Sheerman", the front armor will be as high as 100 mm.
If the Japanese main battle tanks faced the Western powers, the 57mm howitzer could only tickle the opponent, and even if the 17mm armor was not fired, they could use the barrel to penetrate him.
In popular terms, it is not a dimension.
Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on the stingy Japanese Army Province. In fact, China must also bear most of the responsibility for this.
Because, as Japan's number one target, China and Baga actually don't have tanks.
Even tanks are not available. No matter how thick their tank armor is, it is useful for an egg? Then, try to be thinner if you can! Save some money for the empire that is not rich.
On the battlefield in northern China, they were undoubtedly successful.
Six years ago in September 18, 300,000 Chinese troops retreated without fighting; four years ago in the Battle of Rehe Great Wall, 200,000 troops were also unable to resist the Kwantung Army's troops; more than three months ago, Pingjin fell from Lugou Bridge.
The Japanese chariot troops were active on these battlefields, and the Chinese army's rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns and even mortars were helpless.
But when we arrived in Songhu, the Chinese military took out the essence of the bottom line, including the Tax Police Corps, the 36th Division, the 87th Division, the 88th Division, and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps...
These elite soldiers may not be considered the most determined in combat, but their equipment is definitely the best in China.
Sulutong's 20mm machine gun and 37mm war defense gun attacked the Japanese tanks within 500 meters, which was like a hole in one hole.
In the battle surrounding Dachang Town, a key area in northern Songhu, there were even cases where seven or eight Japanese 89 tanks did not dare to attack a 37mm war defense artillery in the face of the Chinese army.
It can be said that during the Battle of Shanghai, the infantry may have vomited blood by the Chinese army that fought to the death, but the one who was really beaten to the death was actually the Japanese tank soldiers who were originally full of confidence.
And that's still in street fighting, at least mountain cannons and aircraft can help suppress them. If such a machine cannon is hidden in a fortress that even infantry cannons cannot penetrate, will the Japanese tanker who has been disappointed look good?
If it were someone else, even if it was not your own direct subordinate, Colonel Hakichiro could not slap in his mouth, and probably had a donkey face to ask the other party to obey the command.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! But although Ichiro Tokugawa is just a major, having the surname Tokugawa is destined to threaten the captain of Thejiro United, you dare not make any mistakes against him.
During this period, Japan was actually a feudal militarist country. The power of the country was actually in the hands of the nobles. Civilians were incited to join the army to invade foreign countries. It was nothing more than trying to make achievements and win the title of aristocrat, standing at the top of society in one fell swoop.
The emperor who sits at the top of power is naturally the leader. The other nobles with surnames such as "Gen", "Hei", "Juin", and "Fujiwara" are the younger brothers. Although the Tokugawa family seems a little lonely than before, they still have enough background. Naturally, they are not easily criticized by a small noble like Hachijiro with a high military rank.
Some of the more awesome "second-generation nobles" in the army, even when they see officers of the colonel-level, they don't look at each other. For them, civilians and small nobles are just domestic slaves!
Seeing that the direct chariot squadron leader of the division whom he had high hopes looked ugly, the Japanese colonel also had a little numb for a moment.
Toyota Hide, who was standing on the side in a proper manner, almost didn't have a slight curl of her lips, if there was no tyrant of Fuchijiro here.
Did you see it? It’s not that I’m Toyota Show is incompetent, but that the enemy is too strong and even the chariot squadron is scared!
However, the Japanese Grandmaster, who was slapped with great ears, especially hoped that his superiors could not help, obviously forgot that this was no longer the command of his 1st Infantry Brigade, but the corps headquarters.
This is not only him, the captain of the major, but also two others.
One of them was a fisherman he particularly looked down upon.
That person can not only climb to the position of the Grandmaster by relying on my mother’s background as a palace maid, but his mind is very flexible!
