.    ?Chapter 287 The myth is shattered (6)

    Inside the rickety armored vehicle, Yan Baohang finally regained some clarity. Looking at the arched head in the middle that he had never seen before, and a soldier playing with a huge machine gun, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded and asked: "What kind of car is this?"  "

    Xue Yue was still young and could not restrain his excitement when introducing him.

    This armored vehicle is a new type of equipment for the National Defense Forces, giving full play to the spirit of "international patchworkism". Since Hubei encountered a problem when imitating Austrian Daimler four-wheel drive armored vehicles, the spring steel was not up to standard, resulting in the chassis being unable to withstand pressure during bumps.  Mounting an armored vehicle was not an urgently needed equipment, so Yang Qiu simply developed the four-wheel drive chassis in the direction of a jeep.  In order to meet the demand for armored vehicles, 128 Opel truck chassis were first imported from Germany.  This three-ton small truck is very famous in Europe and is famous for its wide and strong chassis. In addition, Krupp carburized steel plates had just been tested in Chongqing at that time, and a batch of armored steel plates were purchased from Skoda, but on the most critical engine  Yang Qiu insisted on using his own 75-horsepower gasoline engine, and ordered its use even though the quality and reliability were far worse than those of foreign countries. He also stipulated that no matter what type of engine the military chooses, as long as it can be produced by itself, it must use a self-produced model.

    The exterior of the car body has also changed from Daimler's large turtle shell design with a round head and round head. It adopts a square folded edge and the front is tilted ten degrees, which can effectively protect against all 7.92mm caliber bullets except K bullets. The machine gun tower is also rotatably riveted.  It has a square structure and looks very much like a German KFZ13 armored vehicle with a machine gun tower and an enlarged circle.  Considering that the current pneumatic tires are very easy to be damaged in the wilderness, we continue to use rubber-coated wheels, but the wheels are doubled in width to increase stability. In order to prevent slipping in rainy days and mud, later anti-skid chains are distributed in case of emergencies.  needs.

    In terms of firepower, it was originally planned to install a self-produced imitation MG8/15 Han III heavy machine gun, but more than half a year ago Liu Qingen finally copied the m2hb heavy machine gun and put it into production at the same time in Hubei and Chongqing, so he immediately selected this model as standard equipment.  Induced by Yang Qiu, manufacturers in Hubei, Chongqing and Jiangnan began to name their products instead of simply naming them by year. This was mainly to form their own brands in the future to ensure patent rights. For example, this time Hubei named m2hb  It is a fang, and the power of this machine gun can be seen from the name.

    The armored vehicle also has a name called Gray Wolf.

    The performance of this 2014 Gray Wolf armored vehicle is quite good after testing. It has 4 members and can carry 5 people in an emergency. It weighs 3.8 tons. It can travel 80 kilometers per hour on the road and only 20 kilometers in the wilderness. Its own fuel tank can ensure a travel of 150 kilometers.  kilometer.  The 12.7mm Venom Fang heavy machine gun has also applied for a patent. It uses a 110-round canvas belt to feed ammunition. The speed is slower than the metal ammunition belts of later generations. The entire vehicle has 1,100 rounds of ammunition. The self-defense weapon of the armored troops is a 32-round flower machine gun fed from below.  .

    Yan Baohang has heard so many terms, and now all he can think about is leading the National Defense Forces back to Linjiatai and killing all the Japanese soldiers!  So I only care about one thing: "Chief Xue, can this car defeat the Japanese cavalry?"

    "Cavalry? Haha"

    Yan Baohang's words made the four people in the carriage laugh. Xue Yue had no time to explain to him that the 103rd Brigade had attacked Henan with more than a dozen armored vehicles. When he saw a small forest, he rolled his eyes and made the four Gray Wolves hide.  They turned off the fire and waited behind the woods. The cavalry battalion commander was also a clever man. Knowing that this was an ambush, he immediately lined up a cavalry company to draw out the Japanese army.

    The excited cavalry boys just took one look at the thick barrel that popped out of the machine gun tower, and they were full of energy, roaring and rushing towards Linjiatai.  In less than a moment, gunshots were faintly heard from the horizon. It was unknown how big a hornet's nest had been stirred, and the gunshots became more and more intensive.

    As soon as the gunfire was heard, the four Gray Wolves started up again, slowly aiming their machine gun towers in the direction of the gunfire through the sparse birch forest.  Yan Baohang's eyes turned red again when he heard the gunfire. Seeing the machine gun tower occupied by excited machine gunners, he simply climbed to the front and looked through the observation window. Xue Yue knew that he was thinking and gave up his co-pilot position. When he saw dust rising in the distance  Feiwu Yan Baohang's teeth were almost broken.

    Soon two groups of cavalry appeared chasing each other. The Oriental horses that the Chinese people called were actually Persian war horses that Japan spent a lot of money to import. They had poor endurance but fast sprinting speed, so the 14th Division cavalry riding Mongolian horses did not have an advantage.  On the contrary, it was extremely dangerous. Seeing that the pursuit was getting closer, many people simply dug their heel spurs into the skin of the war horse to stimulate the acceleration.

    Fortunately, these young men from the 14th Division who have been in Fengtian all year round also know that their war horses are not as good as those of the Japanese, so they stayed far away when luring the enemy. After rushing through the woods and turning the corner, only two of them were slightly injured by bullets in their arms and thighs.

    When the Japanese cavalry saw their opponent turning through the woods, they subconsciously slowed down for fear of an ambush. However, after all, they were used to traveling in the Northeast so they did not stop completely. After approaching the woods, Xue Yue immediately shouted loudly: "Come out and fire at full speed!" Hui Yue!  Wolf is still far from the flexibility standards of World War II armored vehicles.The engine roared loudly into the potholes before staggering forward. However, the four armored vehicles that suddenly sprang out and lined up like an iron wall still startled the Japanese cavalry, and they subconsciously turned their horses to the left to get around.

    But it¡¯s too late!  After using imported raw materials to produce double-base propellants, the imitation .mm Venom Fang heavy machine gun has basically reached World War II standards. This distance is nothing compared to its effective range of 1,600 meters and a maximum of 6,000 meters.  Four armored vehicles lined up side by side, and the four Venomous Fang heavy machine guns fired almost at the same time. The unique "dong-dong-dong" rhythm scared the cavalry battalion's horses to keep neighing. The flying bullets immediately made Yan Baohang, who had never seen a regular army fighting for the first time, say no more.  Can't keep my mouth shut.

    Even though the machine gunners of the National Defense Force, who were not rich in bullets, were strictly restricted in their rate of fire, the four Venomous Fang heavy machine guns still formed a barrage of metal in front of the Japanese army. The 12.7mm bullets, which were as thick as a thumb, were far more powerful than the standard 7.62 bullets. Yan Baohang even  I saw with my own eyes that after a Japanese cavalryman was hit in the waist, the entire upper body was broken. After falling to the ground, the horse rushed far away with the lower body.

    In the rhythm of "dong-dong-dong", Japanese cavalrymen were constantly hit by bullets. Seeing that he could not escape, a Japanese cavalryman turned around and rushed towards the armored vehicle. However, before he could take a few steps, his horse was hit by two consecutive bullets. The horse's neck felt like something had been hit.  The thing fell sideways as if it was being torn apart forcibly.

    A Maxim is a magical weapon. The Japanese Army has never seen such a powerful machine gun. The terrible bullets will kill or injure as long as they hit the target. Not even the war horses can be spared.  Even the cavalrymen of the 14th Division who were hiding behind were gloating over this scene and gradually felt chills running down their spines. Is this a cannon or a machine gun?  If he did this when he charged

    When they were swallowing hard, Xue Yue had already ordered the formation to disband and fire separately. The driver immediately stepped on the accelerator to the bottom after receiving the order. The engine sprayed out streams of black smoke and the wheels rolled towards the stunned Japanese cavalry.  The two cartridge belts were quickly finished. When the third cartridge belt was loaded, dozens of Japanese cavalry and war horse corpses were already lying in the field.

    "Spread out, keep distance and rush over, use grenades!"

    The Japanese second lieutenant finally figured out that the speed was not slow and he had the help of a long-range large-caliber machine gun. Running around would only cause more casualties. He simply gritted his teeth and took the lead, turned around and charged towards the armored vehicle. The sustained rate of fire of the Venomous Fang heavy machine gun was not enough, so the Japanese cavalry pulled away.  The lethality is much less after that.  Seeing this, Xue Yue immediately picked up a flower machine gun. Seeing Yan Baohang's eyes brimming with anger, he also gave him one. After helping him turn the speed switch to the three-fire point, he pointed to a small steel plate with a latch next to the car body.

    After Yan Baohang pulled the latch, Xue Yue pushed it up and a small shooting hole appeared.

    The machine gun overhead was still screaming, and brass bullet casings kept jumping into the bamboo basket hanging next to it, making crisp noises. Many of them landed in the carriage and scattered everywhere. Several of them landed on Yan Baohang, and they were scalding hot.  .  The steel plate in front of him was rattled by Japanese bullets. Every time he doubted whether it would be penetrated, but as the Japanese cavalry got closer and closer, there was no problem. That is to say, he was completely relieved and imitated Xue Yuetou.  Aim outside through the shooting hole.

    Suddenly, a Japanese cavalry appeared in the field of vision, and Yan Baohang subconsciously pulled the trigger. However, the submachine gun did not hit him because the distance was too far, but the heavy machine gun on his head helped him break the guy's shoulders and even his arms.  "Fight again at 50 meters! Look at the front sight, pull the trigger once and fire three bullets." Xue Yue fired when he saw him a hundred meters away, knowing that he didn't understand the performance of submachine guns. After a few words of concern, a target appeared on his side.  Quickly pull the trigger.

    The Japanese cavalryman was just glad that he had escaped the hail of bullets, and he pulled out his grenade and prepared to kill this big guy for meritorious service. However, he did not expect that a denser string of bullets suddenly popped out from the side of the vehicle and swept him off his horse.  As more and more cavalry risked their lives to break through the machine gun blockade, the clanging sound on the steel plate became more intense. Yan Baohang unknowingly fired an entire magazine, and after knocking off his horse two Japanese soldiers who crossed in his direction,  If the loader next to him hadn't reminded him to change the magazine, he would probably still be holding the trigger tightly.

    Seeing the blockade of several Japanese cavalry machine guns and submachine guns, the cavalry boys of the 14th Division watching the battle behind them also joined the battle circle one after another, following the armored vehicles to pick up leaks. Hundreds of rifles could deal with a few small fishes without any pressure.

    Boom!

    Just when Yan Baohang burst into tears and wished he could throw all the bullets out to avenge his classmates and the innocent people of Linjiatai, a shell fired a hundred meters away made Xue Yue alert. It was not far from Linjiatai, and the presence of artillery meant that the enemy's infantry was coming.  Four armored vehicles and a cavalry battalion could not deal with the infantry with artillery, so they immediately ordered a retreat.

    Amidst the rumbling explosions, Japanese artillery shells began to fall continuously, and the cavalry of the 14th Division following on the left and right began to suffer losses. The few remaining Japanese cavalry also took the opportunity to retreat and hand it over to the artillery.  After the Japanese cavalry moved away, the machine gunner did not want to waste any more bullets. The four Gray Wolves began to retreat at an accelerated speed, but 3The steel plate of the vehicle was still torn apart by a shell at close range, and the two armored soldiers in the vehicle were seriously injured.

    Fortunately, the shell tore open the side and rear without damaging the cab or the front engine, so the car could still barely move. After getting out of the range of the shell, the cavalry immediately separated four horses and used ropes to tow Car No. 3 to speed up the evacuation.

    Shortly after the armored company left, Araki Sadao, who arrived at Linjiatai with the main force, heard about the exchange of fire and rushed to the battlefield. Dozens of broken corpses also shocked him. He knew that the National Defense Forces had armored vehicles, but he did not expect such a powerful heavy-duty vehicle.  machine gun!  Although I really wanted to send pursuers to seize one, the corpses on the ground proved that relying on cavalry without infantry would be very costly. Moreover, the most important thing now is to seize the time to open Motian Ridge and recapture the Baofen Coal and Iron Mine, so a large group was left behind.  After garrisoning Linjiatai with the cavalry regiment, they immediately ordered an attack on Motian Ridge 20 miles away.

    Two hours later, nearly 30 75mm field artillery and cavalry artillery began to bombard the Motianling 2nd Brigade position. Hundreds of artillery shells drew arcs and fell from the sky. Shimase gunpowder emitting orange toxic smoke opened  The beginning of the war.
