Chapter 298 The Japanese fight tanks
The full name of the long sword behind is the samurai sword behind him. This is the nickname given to Zhang Xuewu by Xu, who was gritting his teeth. Zhang Xuewu doesn't care. He eats deliciously and sleeps well! It's hard to get a call from the Japanese who can't sleep at night! Because the Tenth War Zone is really strong, I have never taken advantage of it in previous confrontations with the Tenth War Zone.
After Ishihara Kanr, the special envoy of the General Staff, left, the Kanto Army held a special military meeting the next day. Because it was about to fight the 10th War Zone, whether it was the aviation unit or the heavy artillery unit, they were eager to strengthen it. The complete destruction of Baotou's industrial base and the capture of the Dingyuan Battalion, the receiving site of Soviet aid materials, was actually the core plan goal of this battle against the 10th War Zone, which made Zhang Xuewu lose the possibility of continuous development.[]
The Heavy Artillery Brigade is the greatest support given to the Kwantung Army by the base camp, because the heavy artillery troops in the 10th War Zone gave the Japanese people too many beautiful memories that I still remember. However, the new heavy chariot that Kenyoshi Ueda cares about the most is because the new armored squids are high, and a 35-ton chariot actually needs a squid, so only ten were built for evaluation. The evaluation results were also very average, so the "brave" was stillborn.
Kenji Ueda had arranged all fronts and divisions to come up with their classic tactics and methods to deal with combat vehicles. In fact, this is also the main topic of today's meeting, because if the tactics of the armored troops in the 10th War Zone were not effectively curbed, attacking Baotou in Chahar and Dingyuan battalion in Suiyuan would be a tactical goal that could not be achieved. Kenji Ueda did not think that the Army Aviation guys could defeat the Flying Tigers in the 10th War Zone in the air, if he could, he would not have to hold meetings in the basement all day long.
Kenji Ueda always thought he had a lot of ideas, but when faced with the plans of these chariots sent by various divisions, Kenji Ueda was stunned. The air force used aircraft to hit tanks, artillery used cannons to hit tanks, engineers used their professional equipment to hit tanks, such as burying mines and digging traps.
These troops are easy to say when fighting tanks, but the Huas have the corresponding weapons. However, Japan is not a major army country, but there are a large number of army infantry. If they do not commit to fighting tanks, wouldn’t it be a waste? So infantry fighting tanks is the highlight of the magic weapon that the military headquarters gave to the Kwantung Army this time.
In the view of the military headquarters and the General Staff, the chariot is not fragile. A mooring bottle and a bundle of grenades can be easily solved. Using artillery fire from a group of artillery is a waste of limited valuable resources. Sending a soldier to rush forward can reimburse one. How many chariots are there in the tenth war zone?
One thousand vehicles? Surely not. Even if ten people bomb each ten thousand people, it would be enough! [Japanese] Senior officials from the Ministry of Army and General Staff probably regarded the tanks in the 10th War Zone as their own thin cans.
So the base camp did not give the heavy tanks that the Kwantung Army urgently needed, but gave them a skill: infantry fighting tanks?
How do infantry fight tanks? If this problem is on Zhang Xuewu, it is to use tanks to counter tanks, or tank defense cannons plus long-range large-caliber howitzers block shooting, and air force destroying. Infantry in the 10th War Zone also has several weapons that can be used for anti-tanks, such as anti-tank rifles, 37mm, 50mm tank defense cannons, etc.
The Japanese troops had a small number of 37mm tank defense cannons and a large number of 75mm and 90mm mountain field cannons. However, these things proved to be ineffective against enemy tanks in previous battles. Only when shooting hits at excellent shooting positions can they work.
Since the existing equipment cannot solve this problem, Kenyo Ueda mobilized the grassroots officers and soldiers below. In addition to these things, all the generals and soldiers worked together to brainstorm and think about inventing many advanced weapons in one day, such as automatic explosive packs to fight tanks.
This automatic explosive package is a special patent of "Japan". It is estimated that it will be a problem to win the Nobel Prize for the latest invention in later generations. In fact, the so-called automatic explosive package is to tie a pair of hooks on one side of the explosive package and tie a bracket on the other side. The fuse is connected to the bracket. People take the explosive package to rush to the side of the tank, hang the explosive package on the handrail on the tank turret, and then pull down the bracket to automatically ignite the fuse! People run away, and the explosive package explodes and cannot destroy the tank. Perhaps at least they can shock the enemy driver in the tank.
If this doesn't work, use the upgraded version of Automatic Explosive Pack 2.0, make the bracket into a fork-like shape and connect the fuse at the fork, rush to the side of the tank, insert the bracket into the guardrail on the tank track. When inserting, the guardrail pulls off the fuse, and the person runs away the explosive and explodes, which can break the track.
However, when encountering a light-fired tank with a fast speed and fully sealed track, you can only use the automatic explosive pack 3.0 upgrade version, tie some nails to the wooden rack on one side of the explosive pack, connect the fuse to the back of the tank, insert the nails on the tank engine hood, pull away the bracket, and blow up the engine.
However, these methods still require people to rush up and drop explosive packs, so some people have designed another method that is much more sophisticated. Automatic explosive pack 4.0 upgrade version, that is, bury the explosive on the ground and install a spring, press the tank on, and touch the mechanism. The two explosive packs bounced up and wrapped around the tank gun barrel, breaking the tank gun?
Because the spring device is difficult to make, this method is changed to connect two explosive packs with a rope, and a soldier swung it and threw it out, wrapping it on the other side's tank turret or tank gun! Just like the Indians' tools that threw stones more than a hundred years ago...
However, these are too wasteful compared to the methods proposed by Tani Susuo's troops of the 6th Division. When these methods do not work, especially when there is no explosive pack, there is a more cutting-edge trick in the Super 5.0 version of the tank fighting technique. This trick is convenient and practical, and is not restricted by conditions according to local conditions. As long as there is a little water shovel, it is necessary to use water and a little mud, shovel up with a shovel, rush to the tank, throw the mud towards the tank's periscope, and turn the enemy into a blind man.
Kenyoshi Ueda was stunned and called out the wisdom of the vast number of officers and soldiers! The officers and soldiers of the entire army gathered their ideas and had many inventions. For example, the 10th Division of Isotani Ryosuke invented the method of using bows and arrows and slingshots to hit tanks. However, this method is very technically difficult and requires professional skills. Ordinary soldiers should not master it. Therefore, after leading the generals of the entire army to call the emperor three times, Kenyoshi Ueda decided to use the above five-stroke method as the outline of the army training. Each division will draw at least two professional chariot brigades equipped with automatic explosive packs, mobilizers and other weapons to fight chariots.
If the Kwantung Army's plan to deal with a trick was seen by Zhang Xuewu, it would definitely be more shocked than Kenji Ueda, because this so-called plan is the lesson plan for infantry fighting tanks that the People's Army has been trained in the 1950s until the end of the Cultural Revolution! It was all human beings who were made by themselves back then? It seems that people really have potential! The Japanese who was desperate to jump over the wall actually played the same theory of infantry fighting tanks?
If Zhang Xuewu knew that Japanese people were studying tank hunting in this way, they would definitely be struggling to the point of being in a daze. Without air supremacy, the infantry field troops that failed to gain an absolute advantage in artillery fire and lacked permanent fortifications to fight the armored troops on the plains? In Zhang Xuewu's eyes, it was not called fighting, it was called massacre!
However, Zhang Xuewu obviously underestimated the crazy Japanese man, because the specific combat plan of Kanto Army Commander Kenyoshi Ueda was set by the Tojo Hide Mechanism, who was described by Ishihara Kanir as the only commanding machine guns. You should know that Tojo Hide Mechanism is an absolutely crazy extreme adventurer, with only things you could not imagine, and it seems that there is nothing that Tojo Hide Mechanism would not dare to do? And Tojo Hide Mechanism, who has always looked down on the Chinese army, has always believed that it is not that Zhang Xuewu is too strong, and some generals are too incompetent.
Tojo Hideki's combat plan was to concentrate the First Front Army commanded by the Kanto Huoshi, the Second Division, the Eighth Division and the Twelfth Division under the jurisdiction of Kanto, as the main force on the left, attacked from Zhuo Xin to Chaoyang, and four divisions under the jurisdiction of the 10th Division, the 22nd Division, the 35th Division, and the 36th Division as the main force on the right, and encircled the 10th China War Zone defenders who besieged Chaoyang, and were assigned to the latest Type 97 150mm cannons transported from the country, which was claimed to be invincible, and concentrated ten field artillery corps and four field heavy artillery brigades, blocking the road chariots, and the second regiment were assigned to the operation, the 27th Division and the 28th Division were used as the battle reserves.
We strive to launch an attack first before the Chinese army launched an attack, and disrupt the complete deployment of the 10th Battle Zone of the Chinese army. As long as we conquer Chaoyang, we can break a hole in the defense of the Chinese army.
Hideki Tojo has always believed that the Chinese army has one weakness, that is, breaking through a little can achieve the goal of shocking the entire line, so Hideki Tojo is ready to break this gap in the Chaoyang Fortress!
However, under the entire plan of Tojo Hideki's plan, there was a huge murderous intent hidden, that is, the 6th Division, the 14th Division, the 35th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 36th Independent Mixed Brigade. After conquering Chaoyang, he immediately launched an attack on Zhangjiakou at all costs to attract the attention of the 10th War Zone of the Chinese Army! The 38th Division and the 39th Division respectively feinted Chengde and Chifeng.
