Amidst the explosions of directional mines, the Japanese tanks were blown up one after another in front of the trenches of the Eighth Route Army, and the infantrymen were blown down in groups and rolled around in front of the positions... These directional mines were blown up
If the steel ball misses the vital point, it is often only injured but not fatal, so people fall to the ground in pieces, screaming and wailing, almost crying.
Wang Xuexin saw this scene with his own eyes on the battlefield and secretly said that the so-called "bravery" of the Japanese was nothing more than this.
In fact, people are all the same, and sometimes the reason why they can be more "brave" is just because the pain is not piercing to the bones.
The pain caused by directional mines is far beyond the limit of most people, and the Japanese are no exception.
On the other side, Shino Endo, who was holding a telescope in the armored vehicle to watch the results of the battle, was shocked when he saw this situation.
Shino Endo originally thought that with the fire cover of the aviation force, the impact of the tanks, and the three-wheeled attack, it would only take one charge to break through the weak defense line of the Eighth Route Army in front of him. He did not expect that after one charge, this would be the result.
What's even more serious is that the locations where the 95 tanks were blown up were very close to the trenches of the Eighth Route Army, some of which were only a dozen meters away.
This turned the originally undefensible Eighth Route Army's defense line into "dangerous and defensible"... The 95 tank became the best obstacle and bunker in front of the Eighth Route Army's defense line.
This is pretty good.
Endo Shino was surprised to find that many Eighth Route Army troops actually got into the 95 light battle, and then turned their guns in the direction of the imperial army...
"What's going on?" Endo Shino couldn't help but cursed: "Weren't those tanks blown up? Why can the Eighth Route Army still use them!"
Endo Shino believed that this was simply the most unfair thing, and even a punishment from God on the imperial army. Otherwise, how could such an unbelievable thing happen?
No wonder Endo Shino felt strange.
This kind of thing is indeed very rare on the battlefield, because once a tank is blown up by the enemy, it is basically scrapped, and the chance of the enemy using it again is very low. It would be good to have one tank out of a hundred that can be reused immediately.
But this time, at least 80% of the 95 tanks that were blown up on the front line were used by the Eighth Route Army on the spot. This was simply a miracle.
The staff officer also felt strange. He took some time to ask, and then came back and reported: "Your Excellency, Major, the Eighth Route Army used steel ball mines to bomb tanks..."
The Japanese called directional mines "steel ball mines."
The Eighth Route Army also had another kind of steel ball mine, which was the "S-shaped jumping mine", but the Japanese called it "jumping mine".
"I know they are landmines!" Endo Shino replied angrily: "I just want to know why those tanks can still be used after being blown up!"
Endo Shino was so angry that he didn't even think carefully about the connection between the two.
The staff officer was helpless and could only lower his head and replied: "Your Excellency, Major, the steel ball mines fire steel balls. These steel balls penetrate the bottom armor of the tank from bottom to top and kill the tank soldiers in the tank. However, they are difficult to target."
The instrument inside the tank caused damage, so..."
Then Shino Endo understood.
These bastards actually thought of using this method to deal with 95 Qingzhan. Not only did they stop 95 Qingzhan's attack, they also turned it into their fort!
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw that the 95 light battle captured by the Eighth Route Army began to show off its power. With a loud bang, the tank cannon fired shells towards the imperial defense line. Two shells also hit the armor of Endo Shino.
Near the command vehicle, Shino Endo was so angry that he gritted his teeth in hatred.
Then, Endo Shino even saw a few tanks being driven...
Wang Xuexin did not expect that directional mines could achieve such an effect when blasting tanks.
Only killing tank soldiers in the tank can keep the tank intact, and some can even be driven... The steel balls penetrate from the chassis, so even the tracks are in good condition, and only those whose tracks are broken are used as turrets.
This accident made Wang Xuexin feel a little regretful.
If we had known this, we should have mobilized some tank troops, so that the first batch of eight captured tanks would not be unable to be used!
As a result, Tang Liangjun's words made Wang Xuexin overjoyed.
"Batalion Commander!" Tang Liangjun said: "Some of us have learned to drive tanks!"
"What?" Wang Xuexin looked at Tang Liangjun in surprise: "Aren't you an infantry regiment? How come you have never learned to drive a tank?"
Tang Liangjun replied with a smile: "Isn't it because of the battalion commander's tank battalion?"
It turns out that since Wang Xuexin commanded the tank battalion and made great achievements in beating the Japanese armored forces several times, a wave of tank craze has set off in the entire army.
Objectively speaking, this is actually not a good phenomenon.
Because the overall quality of the Eighth Route Army at this time was not high, and infantry had not yet mastered multiple skills, this could easily lead to a situation where although they knew many things, they were only half-full, and as a result, nothing was used on the battlefield.
It is only reasonable to consider learning other skills when you have spare energy.
Just like modern special forces, they need to be able to drive armed boats, drive a car, drive a tank, and be able to parachute and other skills.
But this is also a good soldier who is only one in a hundred, and his physical fitness and learning ability are quite strong. It is basically a waste of time for other troops to learn these, because they still perform their own tasks on the battlefield, and the chance of using other skills is very slim.
.
But the Eighth Route Army troops did not know this truth, not even the commanders.
What they were thinking was: "Damn it, Li Yunlong's independent regiment has a tank battalion, but our main regiment has nothing? Is this fair? Is it reasonable?"
Although they complain, they also think: "No, we have to be prepared! What if one day, more and more tanks are purchased and allocated to our main force? If we don't know how to drive a tank, will this tank be useless?
Assigned to another unit?"
So without saying a word, he immediately organized troops to learn to drive tanks.
If there were no conditions, they would create conditions. They would do everything possible to go to the independent regiment to get information and learn from them, and then use the remains of Japanese tanks. Some even captured a few Japanese tank soldiers in the army...
Anyway, all the available resources were used, models were made, classes were held, and the tank corps was organized in a hurry.
Then not only the main force, but also other units also started a craze for organizing tank units. Many tank units have never even seen what a tank looks like.
The Eighth Route Army actually had this characteristic. Their abilities were mixed and chaotic, and they showed off all kinds of special abilities, which gave people the impression that they were "irregular."
But it happens that this kind of irregularity comes in handy at certain specific times.
For example, this time...
When Wang Xuexin heard about this good thing, what were he waiting for? He immediately ordered: "Act quickly and send them up immediately! But pay attention to safety!"
