…
An anti-tank combat team led by Jiang Hu had a total of thirty-two members.
This is the anti-tank combat elite specially trained by Kong Jie in a team.
As for the formation of an anti-tank team, it had already begun in the independent regiment a year ago.
At the beginning, the anti-tank combat equipment equipped by the members of the anti-tank combat team was quite rudimentary.
It can even be said that there is basically no anti-tank combat equipment.
We can only rely on cluster grenades, explosive packets, and some anti-tank combat tactics, such as digging traps, laying mines, etc. to deal with Japanese tanks.
Due to the insufficient level of equipment, the soldiers exerted all their strength and focused all their efforts on familiarizing themselves with the structure of Japanese tanks.
Until he accurately grasped every weak point of the Japanese tanks.
Therefore, when it comes to understanding Japanese tanks, the members of the anti-tank combat team are ranked second, and no one in the entire team dares to be ranked first.
Later, with the development of a team's equipment level, the anti-tank equipment used by the anti-tank combat team to deal with the Japanese was gradually updated.
The first anti-tank rifles were originally built with anti-loading cartridges.
However, this anti-tank rifle was not powerful enough to deal with Japanese tanks.
Often it can only cause some local damage to the Japanese thin-skinned tanks.
In addition, it was difficult for the soldiers to operate and the recoil was extremely large, so it was slowly replaced by subsequent more suitable anti-tank combat equipment.
——That was a team that later relied on captured Japanese artillery to transform it into something similar to a German 37mm anti-tank gun.
"But one is that the cost investment is too high, and the other is that the efficiency of dealing with Japanese tanks and armored vehicles is too low."
"Although the skin of the Japs' tanks is thin, it has good maneuverability. We soldiers can't push heavy anti-tank guns and chase the Japs' tanks all over the mountains and fields, right?"
Kong Jie said this during a course on anti-tank combat analysis and teaching for anti-tank team soldiers.
The soldiers naturally took this seriously.
What everyone secretly admires is the courage and long-term vision of their leader.
Weapons like anti-tank artillery were not available to other Eighth Route Army regiments, but they were almost looked down upon by the commander of his own regiment.
“So, truly sophisticated anti-tank combat equipment should be accurate, lightweight, and portable for use in the hands of infantry.
It can give ordinary infantry the ability to destroy enemy armored vehicles.
This is advanced anti-tank combat equipment in the true sense, and we can classify it as an individual anti-tank combat weapon..."
At that time, Kong Jie spoke with great assurance, but the soldiers in the anti-tank combat team were dumbfounded.
Now on his own, Jiang Hu has served as the leader of the third team of an anti-tank combat team.
At that time, he was just one member of a newly formed anti-tank combat team of 20 people.
He raised doubts: "Commander, a single soldier can conduct anti-tank operations and even destroy enemy tanks and armored vehicles. Is there really such an anti-tank weapon in the world?"
Kong Jie smiled, "The birth of various advanced weapons is essentially due to the needs of war. If you want to truly comprehensively restrain war weapons like tanks on the battlefield, the best way is to let ordinary infantry also have anti-tank weapons." The ability to fight.
Once there is such a demand, I think that similar individual anti-tank combat equipment will be born sooner or later. "
Time just flies by...
Kong Jie sent John the design drawings of the individual rocket launcher and asked John to use his own energy to produce the rocket launcher within a month.
Members of an anti-tank combat team took the lead in practical testing.
Afterwards, Kong Jie sent this batch of equipment to the anti-tank combat team, and directly told the members of the anti-tank combat team during the meeting: "This is the individual anti-tank combat equipment I promised everyone!"
At that time, I looked at the dozen or so cylindrical, ugly-looking iron guys that the group leader Kong Jie sent to everyone.
Jiang Hu and his party were all dumbfounded.
"Captain, this cylinder weighs only about ten kilograms, can it really deal with the devil's iron bastard?"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Yes, this is a 60mm individual rocket launcher specially designed to restrain armored vehicles."
"I gave it a vivid name, called the fire blower. You can also call it that."
"Are you blowing a fire torch? Hey, captain, don't tell me, it really looks like it!"
Zhang Changzhi, leader of the first anti-tank combat team of a team, was the man who led the first anti-tank combat team at that time and assisted the Jizhong 28th Regiment in destroying more than a dozen Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
Said with a smile on his face.
But after the smile, there was also hesitation, "Captain, this thing doesn't look very good, but is it really better than our previous 37mm anti-tank gun?"
Facing the members of the anti-tank combat team, all the members of the anti-tank combat team had doubts on their faces.
Kong Jie, who also wanted to know the power of the first batch of rocket launchers produced, directly asked the soldiers to conduct practical tests.
It's just that one team has insufficient conditions.
Although this anti-tank rocket launcher is used to deal with armor.
However, the Eighth Route Army's supplies were scarce, and it was impossible to find steel plates tens of millimeters thick for testing.
So I found a stone wall. The thickness and material of this stone wall were similar to the Japs' usual turrets.
The soldiers used this individual anti-tank rocket launcher to simulate dealing with the Japanese turrets to try out the effect.
boom--
With an explosion, the tail of the rocket launcher suddenly spurted out a dazzling and short-lived flame. The front of the rocket was covered with a cone-shaped metal cover, drawing a small arc parabola and hitting the ground more than 90 meters away. wall.
After the violent explosion, the earth wall that was fifty or sixty centimeters thick exploded into ashes. Even the bricks and stones mixed in it were also turned into powder.
Although this power did not directly affect the armor of the Japanese tanks, the huge power displayed at this moment also shocked the soldiers.
Kong Jie had deliberately given instructions on operational precautions, and the two men assisted the soldiers in the test firing.
He felt that the inconspicuous rocket carried on his shoulders, which looked like a fire torch, actually exerted such amazing power in his own hands.
For a moment, he swallowed secretly, with a look of shock on his face.
Then news came from the Zhongtiao Mountain area that the Japanese army launched a comprehensive sweep of the base area where the Fourth Independent Regiment in Zhongtiao Mountain was located.
The four regiments led by Wang Huaibao fell into an unprecedented crisis.
Kong Jie did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately arranged a transport team and sent all the American equipment obtained, including the third anti-tank combat team, Jiang Hu and other soldiers, and the first batch of individual rocket launchers to Zhongtiao Mountain. .
so……
In addition to the previous hasty test firing.
Jiang Hu and other soldiers of the anti-tank combat team had never actually used the rocket launchers in their hands for anti-tank combat.
"Team leader, I can't even wait. I want to see what kind of effect our flamethrower shells will have when they hit the Japanese tank!"
Quietly lurking in the mountains and forests on the two slopes.
One team member said expectantly.
Jiang Hule said: "What's the rush? As our captain often says, it's never too late to have a good meal!"
Everyone, please cheer me up, don't talk too much right now, and don't cause trouble for me when the battle really starts later. "
"Yes -" the team members responded in low voices.
…
At this time, on the local battlefield at the southern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain.
Accompanied by the roar of engines, the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were advancing arrogantly.
Just now, the Japanese tank troops suddenly encountered the fourth battalion led by Han Feng.
In the flash of lightning, both sides seemed to be stunned.
The Fourth Independent Regiment, which completely annihilated the Uchida Battalion of the Japanese Kwantung Army, became famous.
To be honest, if I hadn't heard that the general headquarters had sent tank troops, there would also be ready support from the air force.
The Japanese security forces in the Zhongtiao Mountain area really did not have the confidence to continue fighting against the Fourth Independent Regiment.
At present, the little devil is surrounded by tanks and armored vehicles to assist in the battle.
Naturally, he is confident.
The Japanese captain, who quickly came to his senses, felt the sense of shame in his heart disappear for a moment, then pulled out his command knife and gave the order to attack.
The Japanese armored vehicle troops immediately opened up their formation, with more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles lined up, advancing rapidly on the relatively flat tundra terrain at the southern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain.
"You bastard little devils, I'll let you play for a while first!"
Han Feng cursed secretly and immediately gave the order to retreat.
What he received was an order from Wang Huaibao to lure the enemy deeper.
It is not the task of his fourth battalion to deal with the Japanese tank troops. He only needs to lure the current Japanese tank troops together with the Japanese tank troops into the ambush circle set by the anti-tank combat team in the battle of withdrawing and fighting at the same time.
And the Japanese captain saw the powerful Eighth Route Army destroying Uchida's brigade.
After the two sides met, they chose to retreat in embarrassment without hesitation.
He is happy!
Well, the elite of the Eighth Route Army and the fine art regiment are nothing more than that.
In front of the armored vehicle troops of our Empire of Japan, they are all vulnerable.
"attack--"
The Japanese captain raised his command sword high and gave the order. With such a good opportunity now, he didn't want to sit back and watch these eight-robbers escape.
With the help of the tank troops, the main force of the sweep was not far behind.
The somewhat proud Japanese captain seemed not worried about falling into the Eighth Route Army's trap.
Just like that, chasing and running at the same time.
Although the terrain here is tundra, the terrain has undulations. It is impossible for the Japanese tanks to advance at full speed. In addition, they have to take care of the infantry at the rear, so they were unable to catch up with the soldiers of the fourth battalion who retreated quickly in a short period of time.
Boom——
During this period, tanks finally suppressed the Japanese tank soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. I felt proud and fired several shots at the fleeing soldiers of the fourth battalion.
Unfortunately, the distance between the two sides was relatively long. In addition, Han Feng and his former mountain company soldiers had extensive evacuation experience, so their forces were scattered and they retreated with the help of the cover of the mountains and forests.
The shells fired by the Japanese tanks have extremely limited killing effect.
The Japanese captain was not in a hurry, and just ordered the main infantry to follow quickly behind the tank.
He seemed to enjoy the pleasure of chasing the Eighth Route Army troops.
In order to block the eight escape routes, he ordered the troops to be divided into left and right parts, followed by tanks, and encircled and pursued them from both wings.
As the two sides chased each other, six Japanese tanks and ten armored vehicles were lured to several trap areas set by soldiers of the anti-tank combat team by soldiers of the fourth battalion.
"The Sword Comes"
The process went smoothly even beyond Han Feng's expectations.
"These little sons of bitches, why did they rush here to be reincarnated?"
Han Feng was very happy.
Soon after, the Japanese troops, who had their own tanks and armored vehicles to assist in combat, plunged into two ambush rings set by comrades of the anti-tank combat team.
"beat!"
Seeing the Japs' Iron Bastards and armored vehicles within the effective range of the rocket launchers, Jiang Hu, leader of the third anti-tank combat team, seized the opportunity to issue orders, and his hands were shaking with excitement.
Han Feng also issued combat orders at the same time.
The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion who had evacuated to the ambush area in advance had already prepared the ambush and assisted the anti-tank combat team in ambushing the pursuing Japanese troops.
Of course, the target of the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion was not the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
Instead, they were responsible for destroying the Japanese infantry following the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, and limiting the traveling speed of the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
"Blow the torch, fire!"
The cannonballs flew out with swaying tail flames and trailing black smoke.
The young soldier carrying the rocket launcher quickly looked intently.
What he picked was the more eye-catching one among the six tanks that the Japanese army was marching on - the Japanese Type 89 medium tank.
This type of tank is considered the largest model among Japanese tanks.
Even if it is forced to carry two 37mm anti-tank artillery guns, it can even have the ability to continue fighting.
The front armor is more than 20 mm thick.
There is nothing you can do about weapons such as rifles, machine guns, and small-caliber artillery.
On the Chinese battlefield, these iron guys have always been unimpeded.
Until this moment, the rocket with a cone-shaped metal cover on the front hit hard on the front armor of the Japanese Type 89 medium tank.
Boom...
In an instant, all the armor protection seemed to be in vain. Amidst the violent explosions, the medium-sized tank that the Japanese drove in collapsed in an instant, turning into a pile of scrap metal scattered everywhere.
The front part of this rocket is a hollow charge. The warhead at the front of the warhead is completely hollowed out, and then a cone-shaped metal cover is added to the outside. The high-temperature metal flow generated by the explosion after launch is used, and the extremely fast initial velocity is added. Directly penetrates the tank's armor.
According to Han Feng's understanding, once such a rocket hits an armored target such as steel, it can penetrate at least 100 millimeters.
Even the real heavy tanks of the German army may not be able to stop it.
Not to mention that the so-called medium-sized tanks of the Japanese are just little beans in the eyes of the German army, which has a first-class armored force.
The violent explosion was accompanied by the shocking scene of the Japanese medium tank falling apart in an instant.
Throughout the noisy battlefield, soldiers from all sides seemed to be stunned.
Gudong......
As the initiator of the bombardment of Japanese tanks, the young gunner couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and subconsciously uttered a curse word - "Fuck, it's so violent!"
Boom——
The rocket dragging its tail flame continued to fly.
Shocking situations occurred one after another for both parties.
The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles that drove in were once hit by rockets fired from the bazookas in the hands of the soldiers.
In an instant, it will turn into a pair of broken metal, and the Japanese armored soldiers inside the tank will be shattered into pieces.
The ambush broke out suddenly, and the two sides only met each other.
The targets of the tanks and armored vehicles, which can be considered behemoths on the battlefield at this moment, are too obvious.
The distance between the two sides is not too far.
Under the leadership of Jiang Hu, the soldiers of the anti-tank combat team used the rocket launchers in their hands to directly destroy four Japanese tanks and five armored vehicles in the blink of an eye.
The armor advantage that the Japanese relied on was gone in an instant.
The terrifying power of this individual anti-tank rocket launcher in actual combat, let alone little devils, even the soldiers of the fourth regiment were confused at this moment.
In Jiang Hu’s words afterwards with a look of amazement:
"It's not like hitting a tank...it's just like using a hammer to open a can, and smashing it down with a hammer, including the Japanese and the tank, they're all fucking smashed to pieces!"
