The PAK37 combat artillery is a light towed artillery produced by Germany during World War II. It has a total combat weight of 432 kilograms and a maximum range of 4.025 kilometers.
The length of the gun is 42 times the caliber of 1.665 meters. The gun runs on two large wheels equipped with pneumatic tires. It relies on the manual operation of a four-man gunner squad and is easy to use.
It can be towed by a car or some similar light vehicle, and it is also very easy to place it on a truck bed or a railroad flat car, or it can be pulled using animal power or even human power.
In mountainous areas, it can even be quickly disassembled and transported, and then reassembled on site. After all, the total weight of the PAK37 anti-tank gun is only more than 400 kilograms, and several people can easily carry it to any location.
In terms of ammunition, the PAK37 combat anti-cannon can fire both tungsten core armor-piercing projectiles and super-caliber grenades as a supplement to its power.
When firing super-caliber grenades, they are powerful enough to penetrate 12.7mm thick armor plates.
The little devil's Doudin tank, in front of it is the Sun Tzu, one gun at a time.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the PAK37 combat artillery is an all-round artillery.
It was simply a killer weapon for China at that time.
On land, it can fight against Japanese tanks, at sea it can fight against Japanese warships, and in air defense, it can be used as an air defense weapon.
So from the very beginning, Dragon Boat Festival had the confidence to annihilate the little Japanese flying wing.
Of course, he had no idea at the time that the Japanese army would go to such great lengths to fight for a small Yushan position.
A flying wing bombing Yushan is enough to flatten the top of Yushan.
But he didn't know that in order to eliminate Dragon Boat Festival and take down Dragon Boat Festival's head, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force-Matsui Iwane had no regard for the cost.
Duanwu led his troops, not only severely damaging the Japanese army five times, but also causing huge casualties to the Japanese army. And it is very encouraging for the enthusiasm of Chinese soldiers in the war of resistance.
So when he heard that the Dragon Boat Festival was in Yushan, Matsui Iwane made a desperate move and had to take his head quickly.
So a flying wing came out in full force and conducted repeated bombings on the Yushan position.
As for this, Dragon Boat Festival did not expect it. He guessed at the time that it would be good for the little devil to dispatch a flying brigade for a small area like Yushan.
But who would have expected that it would be a flying wing?
However, this is not important for Dragon Boat Festival. Because he understood the weaknesses of Japanese bombers.
Before 1938, the bombers in Japanese service were basically Type 93 bombers.
The weakness of the Type 93 bomber is its fuel burning. And it burns extra oil. As long as there are two fighter jets that can entangle them in the air, there is no need to fight at all, and they will fall from the sky because they are out of fuel.
However, the appearance of the Japanese Type 97 fighter jets made Dragon Boat Festival somewhat unexpected.
The Type 97 fighter was the most advanced fighter in service in Japan at that time. At least that was the case in 1937. And this fighter plane was developed for the purpose of invading China.
In comparison, the Hawker III fighter jet produced in the United States is slightly insufficient in speed and performance, and can be said to be outdated.
But there was no way. At that time, China only had such conditions. As long as you have a weapon that works, it's better than none. What's more, it is enough that the performance of these two Hawker III fighters is better than the Japanese Type 93 bomber.
A wing of Japanese air force made this Dragon Boat Festival plan a bit risky.
However, in a war, unless the troops and weapons are superior to the opponent by a large proportion, there is no sure win for the war.
Therefore, in this battle of Dragon Boat Festival, I bet my life with the little devil. And he was risking his own life.
Some people say that this is irrational and that it is not calm enough for a commander to gamble his life with the Japanese, because the commander's task is to conduct combat operations in the command room, not to run to the battlefield to fight the enemy desperately.
But in fact, Duanwu didn't want to, because he had no one to use it. He used combat anti-aircraft guns to masturbate. No one in the artillery presence had done it before, including Sun Shiyu. This was the first time.
So what to do? Dragon Boat Festival must choose a Sun Shiyu who has the best tacit understanding with him to take the adventure with him.
The 37 anti-tank guns moved very fast and were arranged early on two raised highlands twenty meters apart.
This is the artillery position selected in advance for the Dragon Boat Festival. It has a wide field of vision, and the high ground is not wide. Its usable area is less than 20 square meters, and it can only accommodate four or five people and a 37-mm anti-aircraft gun.
This was also specially arranged by the Dragon Boat Festival, because on such a high ground, the elevation angle of the anti-war artillery can be adjusted quickly and arbitrarily according to the slope of the mountain.
This is simply a natural and excellent anti-aircraft artillery position.
"Quick! We must move quickly! There is no time for us to delay. The brothers of the Mixed Company fought for us with their lives for forty minutes. We cannot let their blood be spread on this land in vain.
We need to use our artillery fire to let those stupid Japanese know. China has backward weapons and equipment, but it is not something they can bully just because they want to. "
The roar of the Dragon Boat Festival made the soldiers' inner fanaticism burn again. They roared and straightened the 37 anti-tank guns. Using the slope of the hillside, they adjusted the firing angle of the anti-tank guns to 45 degrees, facing the oncoming Japanese bombers dropping bombs on the Beishan position.
The Beishan position turned into a sea of fire when a large number of bombs poured down.
In the sea of fire, the eight second platoon soldiers were still roaring and shooting at the Japanese bombers whizzing past in the air.
The roars of the soldiers seemed to break their throats, and the high-speed firing of machine guns kept making clicking sounds.
Their unyielding spirit is contagious like the plague. Zhao Shitou and others in the Yushan position were already prepared to die. They jumped out of the trenches where they could save their lives and pointed various machine guns at the aircraft in mid-air and fired wildly.
Since there was no support point for the heavy machine gun, a row of soldiers used their bodies as a stand for the heavy machine gun.
The noise of heavy machine gun fire made his ears bleed.
But the stubborn soldier gritted his teeth and held on, using his last stubbornness and strength to once again compose a heroic song of resistance against Japan!
The enemy's bombs roared in, and the heat waves generated by the explosions cut through their flesh like knives.
But none of them flinched, and they continued to fight in the flames and wind.
Blood spilled on the earth, life and soul forged the steel-like Great Wall.
They were overwhelmed by enemy artillery fire, but bought enough time for the Dragon Boat Festival bombardment.
"put!"
Amidst the roar of the Dragon Boat Festival, two 37 anti-tank guns were fired at the same time. After the two howitzers flew out of the muzzles, they went straight to the third group of Japanese bombers.
The Japanese of the Third Group were celebrating their successful bombing, but at this moment, there was a flash of fire in front of them, and the two bombers exploded and disintegrated in mid-air at the same time.
The shells of the 37mm howitzer are enough to shred the entire Little Japanese Type 93 bomber.
The fuel on the plane and the bombs that had not yet been dropped were detonated in the explosion. Flames and fragments of the broken plane flew, affecting five nearby bombers.
One of the bomber's propellers was broken, and the plane plummeted toward the Japanese position in thick smoke.
The old devil, Namada Chuichi, was still leisurely watching the empire's plane complete the final kill. But he didn't expect that after the sudden explosion, an out-of-control imperial plane would come towards him.
The old devil changed from the sitting posture of a boss to a bereaved dog, rolled down, and ran away.
The commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, Mr. Zhongye, who had been flattering him all the time, stopped flattering him and ran wildly behind Namada Chuichi.
The other Japs were not fools. They saw the plane crashing and if they didn't run away, they would be waiting to die.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers fled in all directions. You can imagine the embarrassing scene.
That old devil Namada Chuichi looks bloated, but he runs as fast as a ball. It took him less than ten seconds to cover the distance of one hundred meters.
If he participated in the Olympic Games, he would not be able to win first place. Even Mr. Zhongye had to admire the speed of Namada Chuichi in escaping.
However, at this moment, after a loud bang, Namada Chuichi's command headquarters disappeared. It was blown to pieces by the crashed Japanese aircraft.
The reason is also very simple. The Japanese plane dropped bombs on the Beishan position and the main position, but before it had time to drop bombs on the Nanshan position, the plane crashed and the bombs on the plane exploded together.
Not only were all four Japs on the plane wiped out, the explosion spread to a hundred meters away. More than thirty Japanese soldiers were damaged beyond recognition in the explosion.
"idiot!"
The disgraced Namada Chuichi looked confused, because he still didn't know how the imperial plane was shot down.
Are you kidding me? He had not heard that there were anti-aircraft weapons on Yushan Mountain. And since it exists, why not use it from the beginning?
Of course, he would never have imagined who Duan Wu was. If he doesn't take action, he will definitely take the enemy's life if he does.
Because from the beginning, what the Dragon Boat Festival was going to fight was not one or two Japanese fighter planes or bombers. Rather, he wants to destroy them all.
It's like a killer hiding in the dark. He looks harmless on ordinary days, and even if you punch him twice, he will smile back. But once he takes action, he will definitely take someone's life. And this is the Dragon Boat Festival. Not only is he a madman, but he's also an assassin.
His forbearance is not that he is cowardly, but that he is waiting for this moment of Jedi counterattack. Just when the Japanese fighter planes thought everything was over, they didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
Duanwu and Sun Shiyu killed three bombers with two shots, causing damage to the other three fighters to varying degrees.
The captain of the Japanese flying wing was suddenly blinded, and he didn't even know what weapons the enemy used.
Because when you look at people on the ground from an altitude of more than a thousand meters, they look like ants.
But at this moment, Duanwu and Sun Shiyu fired again. The two cannons hit again, smashing two other Japanese fighter jets that looked like headless flies in the air.
The iron sheet of the Japanese Type 93 bomber was like paper, and it was defenseless in the face of the 37mm howitzer.
Coupled with the remaining bombs and fuel on the Japanese aircraft, the Japanese aircraft looked like brilliant fireworks after they exploded.
But it is a pity that at this time, Namada Chuichi, an old devil, is no longer in the mood to enjoy the Empire's fireworks.
With a gray face, he was looking in the direction of the Yushan position with horrified eyes. Because there, there are not only his enemies, but also one of the craziest commanders in China! ...
