Androvich commanded the T34 to slam into a 95 light combat vehicle.
The total weight of the Japanese Type 95 tank is only 6.7 tons, while the total weight of the T34 combat tank is 32 tons. In addition, the engine of the T34 is a 500-horsepower diesel engine... It is said that the engine of the T34 is copied from an aerospace engine. No wonder
Lifespan is only 100 hours.
(Note: Mao Xiong always believed that aircraft did not survive long after flying into the air, so there was no great need to increase the life of the engine. As a result, until modern times, Mao Xiong's aero engines still have the shortcoming of short life)
The T34 is heavy, fast, and has a large carriage. When it collides with a heavy truck, it is almost like a heavy truck hitting a tricycle. It will immediately knock the tail armor of the Type 95 in front of it into disarray, and then it will be lying on the road with only the sound of "creeping" tracks.
I can't move at all.
Androvich ignored this and shouted excitedly at the top of his voice: "Keep going, boy! Stick your foot to your accelerator! As long as we are fast enough, no one can hit us!"
The driver didn't answer, he just stepped on the accelerator hard and held the joystick in his hand, and nimbly drove the T34 to the left and right among the Japanese tanks. Sometimes he went straight forward and crushed a group of Japanese soldiers to follow the infantry. Sometimes he made a sharp turn and made a turn.
Drifting avoids the battle in 97...
This is not to say that the T34 is afraid of colliding with the 97 Zhongzhan. The total combat weight of the 97 Zhongzhan is 15 tons, which is less than half of the T34.
The problem is that if it hits it, the weight of the 97 Zhongzhan is enough to slow down the T34.
Androvich was right. If you slow down at this time, it is basically suicide. The driver also knows this situation, so he takes advantage of it.
Androvich controlled the parallel machine gun and fired fiercely outwards, causing the Japanese and infantrymen to cry and howl. Even many Type 95 tanks were knocked down by machine guns, causing chaos...
The side and rear armor of the Type 95 light combat tank is only 6mm, and a machine gun can penetrate it at close range. Therefore, many Japanese tank crew members were taken away by a hail of bullets before they knew what was going on.
Occasionally Androvich would load a shell... a high-explosive grenade.
Of course it's grenades. Whether the Japanese tanks are 97 medium combat or 95 light combat, their side and rear armor are just a layer of iron, and grenades can easily penetrate them.
Although the T34 does not have two-way stability and is not accurate while traveling, if the enemy tank is close at hand and facing the muzzle, it will be difficult not to hit it.
What's more, even if the grenade misses the tank, it can easily take away a bunch of Japs when it hits the enemy's formation, so it won't be wasted.
So T34 had a great time shooting with guns and cannons.
On the other hand, the Japanese tanks have nothing to do with the T34 that has been mixed into their tanks.
Androvich's style of play is somewhat similar to "infiltration warfare", or it can be said to be "infiltration warfare", but it is just "infiltration warfare" fought with tanks.
The difference is that infantry's "infiltration warfare" requires disguise, such as wearing the enemy's military uniform, using the enemy's equipment, and even speaking the enemy's language, so that the enemy cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy and fall into confusion.
There is no need to be so particular about the "penetration warfare" of tanks.
The reason is that when tanks are fighting, everyone observes the enemy through the observation hole, and most of the observation holes are just a rectangular hole slightly smaller than the keyboard. An observation hole of this size may be OK if you want to see distant targets, but if you want to observe close-up targets, it may be OK.
There was even a target passing right in front of us, so it was impossible to tell whether it was friend or foe... It was just a huge thing that suddenly passed by the observation hole, and the target had already left before the commander could react.
If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be "seeing a leopard through a tube and only seeing a speck".
The tank gun of the 1997 China War can indeed penetrate the T34 at close range. The problem is that the T34 is scurrying back and forth among the tanks. Sometimes it is in front and sometimes behind. I can still see it just now. In the blink of an eye, I don’t know which tank to hide behind.
.
This made it impossible for the 97th Army that was tracking it to fire.
But there is really a Type 97 that doesn't believe in evil... This is a Type 97 that stopped and aimed at the T34 from the beginning. Its tank turret turned back and forth for a while but failed to aim at the T34.
Perhaps it lost patience, or it felt that continuing like this was not an option. It would rather take the risk, so it calculated the advance slightly and fired a shell.
Who knew that T34 would turn a corner at this time... This is normal operation, and we should not take the ordinary route in an infiltration war.
So the shell hit another Type 97 behind it.
The Japanese's armor-piercing bullets are armor-piercing blasting bullets, which are the kind that explode with explosives in the rear. With just a "boom" sound, the hit Type 97 exploded from the inside, and in just a moment the entire tank was in one piece.
It was broken down into parts in the firelight.
Androvich shouted excitedly from inside the tank: "Well done! Fire as much as you want, you sons of bitches! I need your shells!"
Another artillery shell came over, but it also failed to hit but exploded in front of T34, setting off a large piece of loess.
It is very difficult to hit irregularly moving targets in a tank, not to mention that the T34 is still wandering among the Japanese tanks. The gunner must carefully avoid his own tank... If he can still hit, it can definitely be regarded as a hit in the tank.
The sharpshooter.
On the other side, Gangzi watched this scene and couldn't help but respect and admire Androvitch.
This damn guy really deserves to be an instructor. He is not even a little bit better than us recruits. This set of operations is so smooth and smooth, just like a cat playing with a group of mice.
Androvich's commotion completely disrupted the formation and rhythm of the Japanese charge. The T34s of Gangzi and others aimed at the enemy without any pressure and fired rounds of deadly armor-piercing bullets.
"Fight the big tanks first!" Gangzi ordered: "Put aside the small tanks!"
The soldiers responded and picked out the Japanese Type 97s, one after another. Before long, nearly twenty Type 97s from two squadrons were destroyed, more than half of which were destroyed. Only a few were destroyed because they were hiding in the
The rear of the tank was spared.
The Japanese tanks didn't intend to show up either. They were waiting for the order to retreat.
Because the current battle situation is very clear, the Japanese tanks have been completely defeated, and it is only a matter of time before they retreat.
Sure enough, Tomijiro issued the order to retreat soon after.
Tomijiro suddenly realized something. If he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that even the remaining tank squadron in his hands would be wiped out, and they could not even kill a single enemy tank.
So, is there any point in continuing to fight like this?
So Tomijiro had no choice but to order a retreat.
However, Tomijiro understands that retreat does not mean safety.
Because he had observed from the previous battle that the enemy tanks were faster than the Type 97 or even the Type 95... Such a large tank could be so fast, which was simply beyond Aritomijiro's imagination.
But this is not what Tomijiro cares about.
At this time, he already felt deep fear. If he could not match the enemy's speed, how could he evacuate the battlefield and break away from the enemy?
