The tank tracks rotated hard on the mountain road.
In many places, Zhang Chu needs to go out and check in person to ensure that there is no danger before he dares to continue driving.
Otherwise, a rollover will happen...
Fortunately, it was a main road and there were a lot of infantry to assist.
Make a road through the mountains.
Build a bridge over water.
Finally, a few hours later, Zhang Chu successfully arrived near Zuoyun County in a tank.
By this time, it was already evening. The twilight was dim.
The Japanese invaders are preparing dinner.
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, Major, there are a lot of Tubal roads outside."
"Nani?"
The Japanese invader Major quickly climbed onto the tower.
As a result, I saw a tank driving towards the city gate in a mighty manner.
"Nani?"
"tank?"
The Japanese commander thought he had made a mistake.
How come there are tanks in such a remote place as Zuoyun County?
The 26th Division stationed in Datong is not equipped with tanks! Where did it come from?
Could it be that I saw it wrong?
"Come and see."
"Tie!"
A Japanese lieutenant took the telescope.
I looked at it again and again with the same suspicious look. I finally confirmed that it was a real tank.
"Your Excellency Major, you are really a tank!"
"is ours?"
"It does not seem."
"Why are there tanks on Tubal Road..."
Immediately, the two looked at each other.
Oops!
There are actually tanks on Tubal Road!
idiot!
There are actually tanks on Tubal Road!
Ruined!
Tubal Road actually drove all the tanks to Zuoyun County!
"Maybe it's fake..."
The Japanese lieutenant said subconsciously.
In fact, I want to give myself a little comfort. It is also a bit of fantasy.
In the past, there used to be wet quilts, Eight Immortals tables, and sand mixed together to make a soil tank on Tuba Road. Maybe...
"Kill Chirp!"
"Kill Chirp!"
The Japanese Major immediately ordered shooting.
If it is a fake earthen tank, its true colors will definitely be exposed under intensive firepower.
"Pah hook!"
"Da da da!"
The Japanese invaders opened fire with all their weapons.
Especially the 7.7mm heavy machine gun, which fired wildly at the tanks.
If it is a fake earthen tank, it will definitely not be able to block 7.7mm bullets. No matter how thick the wet quilt is, it will be useless.
However……
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"Dang Dang Dang!"
The bullet hit the surface of the tank and made a loud sound.
The tank continued to advance slowly.
Not affected at all.
"idiot!"
The Japanese commander was dumbfounded.
This looks like a real tank.
Heavy machine guns pose no threat at all!
It's terrible...
It’s a real tank!
what to do?
What else can be done?
Just shoot with all your might.
"Kill Chirp!"
"Kill Chirp!"
Order all weapons to continue firing.
Especially the heavy machine guns concentrated all their firepower and fired wildly at the tanks.
However……
Still has no effect at all.
The tank continued to advance slowly.
For the Panzer III tank, there is nothing to fear from 7.7mm bullets. After all, it has 30mm thick armor.
Inside the tank, you can't even hear sounds from outside.
Only the infantrymen following the tanks could hear the sound of bullets hitting steel.
"idiot……"
The more the Japanese invader commander looked at him, the worse he became.
Ruined!
The tanks on Tubal Road seem to be very powerful! The heavy machine guns are completely useless!
The question is, how can a tank be so huge?
None of the Japanese tanks are that big. The closer they are, the bigger they feel.
800 meters…
500 meters…
The tank slowly stopped.
But Zhang Chu did not dare to move forward. He was worried that the Japanese invaders had anti-tank weapons.
Although, theoretically there shouldn't be.
But what if the fanatical Japanese invaders rush up with explosive packs in their arms?
Must be on guard...
In fact, 500 meters is enough distance.
At this distance, it just attracts the firepower of the Japanese invaders. At the same time, the 50mm tank gun can also exert its power.
Although this tank gun is only 50 mm, its diameter reaches 42 times, which is more than two meters long. Therefore, its penetration is quite impressive.
Of course, all of this requires actual combat testing.
"You take aim!"
"I'll fill it up!"
Zhang Chu said to Chu Yunfei.
Just now, Chu Yunfei felt itchy and wanted to drive the car himself.
This request has not been met. Now, he must be allowed to enjoy his skills. Things like aiming and firing are left to Commander Chu.
"good!"
Chu Yunfei did his part.
Immediately control the tank gun to aim at the city gate.
Lock the tower.
Zhang Chu loaded the cannonballs into it.
fire.
"boom!"
Cannon ejected from chamber.
Accurately hit the Zuoyun County Gate Tower.
A ball of fire broke out, and a large amount of dust flew up. A huge gap appeared in the tower.
All right……
The caliber of the tank gun is still a bit small.
Although the penetration power is good, the power of the explosion is average.
Simply speaking from the shell's charge, it is actually inferior to the 75mm Italian cannon. After all, the caliber is quite different.
If compared with the 105mm howitzer, the gap is even greater.
Fortunately it's okay.
If one shot doesn't work, then use two more shots.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Continuous bombardment.
Finally, the third cannonball successfully destroyed the tower.
Turn the turret.
Target other Japanese fortifications.
The Japanese invaders' bunkers and gun towers were the best targets for tank guns.
Strong penetrating power.
It breaks into pieces as soon as you hit it.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Sure enough, several consecutive shots destroyed the Japanese invaders' peripheral fortifications.
In terms of pure destruction effect, it is even superior to Italian artillery.
"idiot!"
The Japanese commander was anxious and angry.
The Japanese inside the fortifications were either killed or injured by the bombing.
The puppet soldiers and so on have long been so frightened that they just want to pretend to be dead.
There is no way to fight back.
He can only be beaten passively.
One Japanese invader tried to come up and blast the tank, but was immediately killed by the Eighth Route Army infantry.
Just kidding!
Let you come up with a bag of explosives?
I, Chen Fan, don’t want to lose face?
Now I am dispatching a regiment of two to three thousand people to attack your small county town!
Tanks were also dispatched!
If you succeed in a sneak attack, will I, Chen Fan, need to see anyone in the future?
"Infantry artillery!"
"Infantry artillery!"
The Japanese invader Major shouted angrily.
As a county defense, there are two infantry cannons.
This is also the most "heavy" weapon and equipment of the Japanese invaders.
Direct fire from infantry artillery is the last resort to deal with tanks. If this doesn't work...
The Japanese invaders desperately dragged the infantry artillery into the ruins.
Aiming at Panzer III.
Neither Zhang Chu nor Chu Yunfei noticed it because they were not in an observation position now.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The infantry artillery opened fire.
The shell accurately hit the tank.
But it's okay.
After the bang and explosion, nothing happened.
This 70mm infantry gun has a barrel that is too short and a muzzle velocity that is too low. It cannot penetrate the Panzer III tank at all.
However, Zhang Chu and Chu Yunfei inside still felt it.
The tank seems to have been hit?
Where did the artillery shells come from? Is it the Japanese infantry artillery?
Immediately turn the turret to find the target.
Unfortunately, the battlefield was filled with smoke and the night was vast, so I couldn't see anything.
There was no other way but to leave it to the infantry.
"boom!"
"boom!"
In fact, the Eighth Route Army infantry quickly eliminated the Japanese infantry artillery.
What weapon to use?
81 mm mortar. One blast.
After a bombardment, both Japanese infantry guns were completely destroyed.
At this point, the Japanese invaders had lost all hope.
Dead……
This time it's really dead...
"Field artillery!"
"Field artillery!"
At this time, the Italian artillery was also pulled up.
They can be pulled by livestock. Ideal for moving in mountainous terrain.
Chen Fan pulled in five field guns at once.
Ordered everyone to go into battle.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Set up your stance and attack Zuoyun County fiercely.
It doesn't matter if darkness falls. The fire of the artillery shells is enough to indicate the target.
"Requesting urgent tactical guidance!"
"There are tanks on Tubal Road!"
"Zuoyun County was attacked by Tubal Road tanks!"
"ask……"
The Japanese invader major commander desperately sent the report.
The telegram came to the 26th Division in Datong.
"idiot!"
"Where did the tanks come from on Tubal Road?"
"Alarmist!"
Kuroda Shigenori was angry.
Previously, the cavalry unit reported that there were tanks on Tubal Road.
He didn't believe it at all.
I felt that Ying Xiaosen's subordinates were exaggerating and spreading lies. I was frightened to death by the Eighth Route Army.
He still doesn’t know what kind of weapons Tubalu has?
Are there tanks on Tubal Road?
Just kidding……
If there were tanks on Tubal Road, the Japanese army would have been driven out of Shanxi Province long ago. Can they still stay in Taiyuan?
So I didn't take it to heart at all.
Now, it was his troops' turn to report that there were tanks on Tubal Road, and he immediately became angry.
Bagya Road!
They are all people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!
"Order them to shut up!"
"If Zuoyun County is lost, everyone will commit seppuku and apologize!"
Kuroda Shigenori was furious.
The chief of staff turned and left.
Soon, the telegram returned to Zuoyun County.
It's a pity that the Japanese Major has no way to call back.
because……
Zuoyun County has been captured.
Dozens of continuous rounds of artillery bombardment directly blew several holes in the city wall.
"Move out!"
The tank took the lead and charged towards the gap.
Followed by a large number of infantry.
There are not many remaining Japanese invaders. Their counterattack poses no threat to the tanks.
The tanks pressed heavily against the ruins of the gap and entered the city.
Then in the street fighting, continue to cover the infantry to launch attacks.
"boom!"
"boom!"
When encountering the Japanese aggressors' firepower, it's a direct hit.
One shot at a time.
One shot at a time.
Easier to use than a rocket launcher.
The remaining Japanese invaders were quickly wiped out.
The Japanese Major, who was the captain of the defense, was killed in an explosion at some unknown time.
The major's command sword was recovered.
Zuoyun County was successfully captured.
"Ding!"
"You established the cargo yard of Bayi Logistics in Zuoyun County..."
