Three hundred and fifty-nine. Type bomb

The bullets roared wildly in the air, and the grenades burst into smoke.

The brothers of the 305th Regiment were nervous and nervous when they first walked onto the battlefield.

The rumors about how powerful the Japanese army was also spread to their ears, and the psychological impact on them was quite serious.

But when they really walked onto the battlefield and with strong firepower support, their fear of the Japanese army gradually disappeared.

This is true for anyone.

Only by facing the most feared things yourself can you overcome your fear of such things

And this is what the brothers of the 305th Regiment did!

The tight firepower net organized by various machine guns tightly blocks the Japanese army's way forward. The bullets flying densely in the air seemed to be the death-induced money scattered by King Yama. No matter which one falls on a person, it will take away a life.

The grenade was thrown out by the grenadiers as if they were not worthwhile. The continuous explosions of "rumbling" made all the Japanese army feel the threat of death.

The three Colonel Kiyoguchi, who had just been transferred from Japan and took over as the captain of the 65th Infantry Regiment, put down the telescope and couldn't help but sigh: "I have never seen such a fierce firepower, even the imperial army."

The captain of the Akasaka Yoshika Nakasa sighed: "Not all Chinese troops are like this, but the one opposite us is an exception. From the beginning of the previous attack, these Chinese troops performed very differently in terms of both offense and defense. They seemed to have endless ammunition supplies. They had their own ideas in the offense and were different from other Chinese troops in defensive wars."

"Is their commander the one named Wang Weiyi?" asked Colonel Qingkou Wu.

"Yes, it's him." Yoshika Akasaka smiled bitterly: "He is the one who has caused the 65th Infantry Regiment to be in disgrace since the establishment of the wing. If only such an army can fight, it is not terrible. What's terrible is that under the inspiration of this army, many Chinese troops seem to have burst out with strong combat power."

"No!" Kiyoguchi Gosan, who was born in Waseda University, shook his head: "Wang Weiyi inspires the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and the combat effectiveness cannot be cultivated in one night. What he really inspired is the confidence and courage of the Chinese soldiers, and their determination to fight to the end for this country."

Yoshika Akasaka frowned: "Can this come in handy on the battlefield?"

Kiyoguchi Gosan smiled: "Akasaka, what if the Japanese mainland is attacked?"

"I vow to fight the enemy to the death and be loyal to the empire!" Yoshika Akasaka said without hesitation.

"That's right. If you think this way, the Chinese people can think this way too." Kiyoguchi Gosan sighed: "Maybe many Chinese people were insensitive before and believed that war had nothing to do with them, so we could provoke many things in Manchuria and Peking. But now it's different. Once a full-scale war breaks out, when their Chinese people see how their troops fight on the battlefield, their national courage will be stimulated, which is exactly the same as Japan."

"Old Captain" Yoshika Akasaka hesitated: "If what you say falls into the ears of people with ulterior motives, it may cause you some unnecessary trouble."

Kiyoguchi Gosan smiled: "I am different from them. Most of the officers came from the officers' schools, but what about me? I was studying history before. By chance, I entered the army and was appreciated and commanded a corps. I became a senior officer of the empire. Maybe I am not a qualified officer, but I must be responsible for the empire. Only by fully studying the mentality of my enemies can we think of what they are going to do. How should we be prepared in advance and targeted, which is much wiser than blindly yelling that the empire will win."

Yoshika Akasaka nodded.

To be honest, he couldn't understand why he had to send someone who had studied history to command the army. He became a monk halfway through. Can he understand the war?

But now it seems that the new corps leader is far more clever than other Imperial officers!

He will analyze, try to understand his enemies, and then carefully consider how to defeat them. This is exactly what most imperial officers lack.

"Governor Captain, what should we do now?" The sound of gunfire and explosions had to bring Yoshika Akasaka back to the most cruel and realistic battlefield: "Stop the attack for the time being?"

"No!" Kiyoguchi Gosan raised his telescope again: "Let the troops increase their offensive efforts, I must know how strong the Chinese people on the opposite side are!"

A commander's decision can often make the already cruel battle even more cruel

The Japanese army's offensive strength was suddenly strengthened with Kiyoguchi Gosan's order. The planes and cannons began to bombard Jiangjia Village's positions wildly, as if they wanted to blow up every inch of the land here.

Then, a large number of Japanese troops appeared on the battlefield

On the front battlefield of Jiangjia Village, the Japanese army invested one squadron after another at one time, and as infantry appeared at the same time, there were two tanks.

Until early 1938, anti-tank weapons still stagnated.

During the "20-Year Fix" from 1919 to 1939, prophets from all major military countries wrote books that the British Lidell Hart and Fuller, France's Charles de Gaulle, and Germany's Guderian all proposed the future form of mechanized war in their minds. However, the military circles of most countries did not fully recognize the power of tanks, and they still insisted that tanks were an infantry support weapon. Under this premise, it is not surprising that infantry anti-tank weapons development stagnated.

Germany is the only exception.

The Germans' luck is that they got a man: the Skeleton Baron - General Ernst Alexander von Breme!

The Skeleton Baron was the first to propose the theory of tank threat and summarized a set of practical and effective methods to deal with tanks. The Germans also quickly began to pay attention to Ernst's theory.

During World War I, facing the Allied tanks, the Germans invented many ways to deal with these "moving fire-breathing beasts".

The tanks at that time were large, slow, thin armor, and easily destroyed by field artillery. In actual combat, German infantry discovered that K-type bullets used for long-range sniping could penetrate the weak armor of early tanks, and this tungsten carbide-core bullet could be fired with ordinary Mauser rifles or Maxine machine guns. Therefore, since the spring of 1917, each German infantry on the Western Front was equipped with 5 K-round rounds, while the machine gunners were equipped with a complete K-round chain.

At the end of the war, according to the requirements of the German Supreme Command, Mauser also produced a special anti-tank gun T-Gewehr with stronger armor-piercing capabilities. This is the world's first special infantry anti-tank weapon.

Especially in 1888, an American engineer named Monroe discovered that if the warhead charge was changed to a concave shape, the blasting effect could be improved. During World War I, German weapons engineers further developed this technology. They made a distance between the tip of the warhead and the charge 2-3 times the caliber of the shell, so that the hollow charge detonated before contacting the target directly, further improving the energy-gathering and armor-breaking effect.

Therefore, it can be said that at this stage, Germany's anti-tank guns are the most advanced.

Especially when facing the "Little Bean Tank" used by the Japanese, German anti-tank guns can easily cause damage to them.

What is even more gratifying is that among the weapons the Germans aided to China this time, there are such a large number of K-type modified bullets.

If someone else was in Nanjing that day, he would definitely not have chosen such bullets, but Wang Weiyi, who was present at the scene, negotiated with Klore and Hannah:

Skeleton Baron - Ernst Bryme!

He knew very well that the K-type bullet could pose a huge threat to the Japanese "Little Bean Tank", especially the improved ones, so he asked for a large number of such bullets without hesitation!

Now, such bullets have also been distributed to the 305th regiment!

"Switch bullets, change bullets!" The officers remembered what Wang Weiyi said. Once the enemy uses tanks on the battlefield, they immediately ordered soldiers using Mauser rifles and Maxim heavy machine guns to replace them with K-type bullets and K-type bullet links.

Now, it's time for the Japanese to taste the pain.

The firearms replaced with K-type bullets fired at the same time, infantry, heavy machine guns

The weak armor of the "Little Bean Tank" was instantly penetrated by these dense firepower. The tanks that were once majestic on the battlefield were paralyzed there like a pool of mud.

Kiyoguchi Gosan witnessed all this with his own eyes, and now all he can do is smile bitterly.

What kind of troops are there on the other side? Not only are they so powerful in firepower, they also don’t care about the threat of tanks at all.

How many weapons do they have that enemies don’t know?

In fact, what Qinggu Wusan didn't know even more was that the Chinese army opposite was not the real main force, but just a group of soldiers who had first entered the battlefield.

A bigger and more terrifying tiger is still eyeing Changshu, waiting for the order to attack at any time.

"Your Excellency the United Captain, I'm afraid I won't be able to succeed today. Please issue a retreat order." Yoshika Akasaka said helplessly from the side.

Qinggu Wusan sighed and nodded silently.

What he is worried about now is that today he has been hit by such a fierce firepower by the enemy, which will definitely have a very heavy psychological impact on the soldiers of the Empire.

Then even if you continue to launch an attack tomorrow, you may not be able to succeed! (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
