The so-called secret weapon Ogisu Rihei said was the original version of the Panzerfaust anti-tank rocket launcher that Reinhardt sold to Japan.
Although the Panzerfaust rocket launcher in the hands of the German army has been improved for several generations, the Japanese army only has the first-generation Panzerfaust rocket launcher test product bought from Germany ten years ago.
And because there is not much inventory, the experimental version of the Iron Fist rocket launcher made by the German army is actually regarded as a treasure in Japan and kept at the bottom of the box as a secret weapon!
In the end, only the Kwantung Army, the most elite unit of the Japanese army, was secretly equipped with the Iron Fist. The troops fighting inside the pass did not get a single Iron Fist rocket launcher.
The 33rd Regiment is the only unit in the Kwantung Army whose entire regiment is equipped with the Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launcher. However, the officers and soldiers of the 33rd Regiment did not call the secret weapon the Iron Fist after the name given by the Germans.
This secret weapon is called the Heavy Boxer Gun.
After giving the Iron Fist rocket launcher a Japanese-specific name, in the eyes of the uninformed Kwantung Army soldiers, it was a weapon independently developed and sent from the domestic base camp, so they could feel a little proud.
Of course, this kind of self-deception doesn't make much sense.
"After I fire this heavy-handed gun in my hand, it will be up to you to stop the Lucia (Japan's scornful name for the Soviet Union) chariot convoy.
Koizumi, don’t be afraid, Amaterasu is watching you, don’t look weak, our Kwantung Army cannot be like those timid navy red deer!"
While waving the secret weapon he had just received, Sergeant Matsushita was instructing a few soldiers in the bunker and telling a few pale jokes from time to time. However, these could not cover up the faint sadness in the trenches.
In fact, the morale of the Kwantung Army was quite high. They all thought that this time was another replica of the July 7th Incident. Starting a war because of a "missing" soldier was something they had already done at Marco Polo Bridge two years ago.
Pass.
However, what they don't know is that even though the Kwantung Army is already the "Flower of the Imperial Army" with the best weapons and equipment in the Japanese army, there is an insurmountable gap between their "luxury" weapons and equipment and the conventional troops of the Soviet Red Army!
The original ambitions were completely shattered by the immature and immature steel of the Soviet T26.
The corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains seemed to silently tell the Kwantung Army how terrible it was to anger an industrial country.
When the T26 tanks with only 25 mm armor were wreaking havoc on the battlefield, the Japanese troops on the frontline offensive suddenly discovered that they did not have a reliable anti-tank weapon on hand!
The guns in their hands were either light infantry guns with short caliber and low muzzle velocity, or old, large-caliber howitzers.
As for anti-tank guns like the German Pak37, I'm sorry, there aren't any.
What about the anti-aircraft guns level fire? Sorry, the anti-aircraft guns equipped by the Japanese Army do not have armor-piercing projectiles, so there is no way to hit tanks.
In the end, it was the 33rd Regiment that stayed behind the attack position and stabilized its position by relying on weapons obtained from Germany ten years ago.
This mini anti-tank weapon was originally used by Ogisu Rihei with a desperate attitude. When the frontline troops suffered heavy losses, he just used it with the idea of giving it a try.
But I didn't expect that this thing could actually hit Soviet tanks quite effectively at a distance of 60-80 meters!
In the past, this would have required the Kwantung Army to use human explosives to kill the tanks together.
At this time, Ogisu Rihei finally found a life-saving straw. With his face full, the 33rd Regiment used a secret weapon that had been renamed the Heavy Boxer Gun, and had completely withstood the first round of the Soviet army.
Tank attack.
However, although the secret weapon is effective, it is not only powerful, but also has no recoil. But the problem is that the Kwantung Army now only has these 1,000 rounds on hand for the general attack, and one shot is missing!
Although there is news from the base camp that they are trying to negotiate with Germany to purchase Iron Fist again. But are these Iron Fist rocket launchers available for purchase? When can they be shipped to Japan after they are purchased? When can they be sent to the Kwantung Army?
Here, these are all unknowns.
Therefore, after the initial use, Ogisu Rihei was very powerful against the precious Tekken Bazooka in his hand.
He also ordered that frontline troops must ensure hits before using secret weapons to attack. It would be better for all soldiers to risk their lives than to waste precious secret weapons.
In this way, the Kwantung Army's hit rate and destruction rate of using the Iron Fist have indeed improved significantly compared to the early stage, which also put a lot of pressure on the Soviet armored forces.
But at the same time, members of the 33rd Regiment were often discovered and shot because users of secret weapons were too close to Soviet tanks, and the casualty rate skyrocketed.
At this moment, Sergeant Matsushita carefully raised his head from the trench and observed several Soviet T26 tanks advancing slowly in the distance.
Matsushita began to count silently: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6..." When he counted to 6, because he clenched the iron fist tightly, his
My fingers turned white from overexertion.
And when those soldiers saw six Soviet tanks arriving, with countless soldiers waiting far behind, preparing to attack their position, they couldn't help but turn pale.
Several timid young Japanese soldiers had begun to tremble at the increasingly clear sound of tracks.
When the tracks of the Soviet T26 tanks ran over the first trench, the experienced Sergeant Matsushita decisively launched the iron fist in his hand. The time of his launch happened to be stuck in the moment of pause when the tanks crossed the trench.
The Iron Fist accurately hit the frontmost of the six tanks. The warhead hit the front of the tank. Then the hot metal jet penetrated the thin frontal armor, penetrated the driver's neck, and hit the tank turret.
Time raged, and a few seconds later, the T26 tank's ammunition rack was detonated as expected, and even the turret was blown far away.
As a veteran, Sergeant Matsushita successfully destroyed an important target with this precious iron fist!
But next, he still needs to face the remaining five furious Soviet tanks.
And all they can use now is the explosives strapped to their bodies.
Soon, Sergeant Matsushita shouted loudly and used hand gestures to summon the soldiers to get out of the trenches where they were hiding and rush towards the Soviet tanks.
What greeted this group of Kwantung Army looking for death was the enthusiastic machine gun and main gun on the T26 tank.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in trouble (Long live the Emperor)!!!”
This group of Japanese soldiers chanted slogans of death and were harvested cheaply on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, they were either knocked down by locust-like bullets before they could reach them, or the explosives were detonated in advance, which did not have much impact on the Soviet tanks.
The final result of this suicide attack was only to destroy the tracks of a tank, which was not as great as the previous result achieved by using an original model Iron Fist rocket launcher.
By the time Sergeant Matsushita, who had been shot and fell at the beginning, came to his senses and looked at the bloody battlefield with a dull expression, he was already numb.
Now Panasonic can no longer remember which batch of soldiers he has sent away.
These fresh lives ended in this killing zone in just a short moment.
Panasonic turned around, only to find a huddled figure trembling in the corner of the trench. Upon closer inspection, Panasonic discovered that the man was Koizumi, who had been newly added to the front line.
Faced with this scene, Koizumi, who was still trembling, took out his sidearm and skillfully loaded the Nanbu Fourteen pistol he had obtained through a relationship, then pointed it at his head and pulled the trigger.
The bullet finally penetrated Koizumi's skull as expected, taking away this young life and ending Koizumi's suffering.
Captain Matsushita, who slowly crawled over, took off the explosives from Koizumi's body and put them on himself silently.
He stood up with difficulty, stared blankly at the tank not far away, then rushed out of the bunker and said the last words of his life!
It’s been a black card for half a year (Long live the Emperor)!!!
