Steel Soviet Union

As one of the characteristic equipment of the Japanese army, the Type 92 infantry gun can only be said to be very recognizable by its appearance.

The short barrel and low body of the gun give people the impression of a "mortar with a wheel" after removing the gun shield.

The caliber of 70 mm is even worse than that of many mortars. Its power among towed artillery can only be said to be at the bottom of the list.

But even with such a crotch-pulling thing, the Japanese army, which claims to be one of the strongest armies in the world, uses it as its absolute main artillery.

It cannot be said that the degree of mechanization of the Japanese army is better than nothing. The performance of the Japanese army in field artillery is particularly bad.

It is unrealistic to develop the world's strongest field artillery like the Red Army. The mechanization level of the Japanese is far inferior to that of the Germans. They must consider the necessary condition of "what kind of artillery can satisfy the requirement of a man pushing a horse."

Why do you want people to push Marat?

Because there are not enough artillery tractors, the reason is so unique and simple.

But artillery itself consumes a lot of tonnage. There is no towed artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm that is not heavy, let alone one that can be moved by people and horses.

In line with the truth that "something useful is better than nothing", the iconic Type 92 infantry gun was born.

It does meet the design specification set by the Japanese army that "it must be able to be pushed by a horse", but as for its power, it can only be said that everyone understands it.

It is also because of the level of opponents encountered in the mid-to-early stage that few of them can compete with the Japanese army for a long time.

The Type 92 infantry gun is so small that it can be used for great purposes. As the mainstay artillery of the Japanese army's regiment level, it can kill all directions.

It even made the Japanese army, who felt good about themselves, have a mysterious self-confidence that "European and American heavy artillery is only so mediocre." He firmly believes that as long as he uses it properly, the small cannon in his hand is no worse than the big guns of the European and American powers.

In the devastating shelling earlier, the main 101st Regiment under Morishima Kuronei had actually lost most of its important technical equipment, including the Type 92 infantry, which was used as the mainstay of firepower. gun.

The Russian bombardment was so heavy and powerful that it was difficult for people to survive, let alone the equipment.

The Japanese army, which was too late to save the artillery, could only watch as most of the Type 92 infantry guns were cut into parts by the Russian heavy artillery amid the deafening explosions.

When they were about to pack up their things and run away after the bombardment, the Japanese soldiers who were accustomed to living in poverty committed another military taboo.

They were supposed to abandon all the heavy baggage and run away quickly, but because the Japanese army could not find enough cars and were reluctant to throw away their infantry guns, they turned into people pushing and pulling the guns along with them.

The original design of the Type 92 infantry gun included people pushing horses, which is fine in daily life.

But it happened that now was the time when driving in a car was too slow. The Japs, who were reluctant to part with these tattered belongings, had to take the few remaining infantry artillery with them. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎

Whatever choices you make will have corresponding consequences, and the price is always fair and uncompromising.

It is possible for a horse to be pushed by a person, but the speed is another matter.

If the Japanese army hadn't been reluctant to part with these belongings and risked their lives by taking them with them, it might have been possible to escape back to the county as quickly as possible before the Red Army caught up.

But there are no chances in war, and there are no ifs on the battlefield.

The Japanese army, which had nothing more to gain, had no choice but to flatten the barrel of the Type 92 infantry gun and aim directly at the high-speed incoming Red Army tanks.

"Quick! Load the projectiles! Aim at the Russian tanks!"

"Which one should I target?"

"The one at the front!"

"Hi!"

The Type 92 infantry gun, which has small shells and is easy to load, was quickly ready after entering the gun position.

The sound of the breech closing was accompanied by the loader's shout that the loading was complete, followed closely by the roar of a cannon that stirred up smoke and dust.

"shooting!"

boom--

Although it was not very powerful, it was still a door cannon. When it fired, it made a lot of noise that shocked the eardrums of the Japanese artillerymen on the gun emplacement.

With a shrill roar, it came out of the barrel, and the cannonball trailing white tracer hit the target in an instant, hitting the bullseye.

Although the caliber is small and the barrel is short, the Japanese army still developed a 70mm full-caliber armor-piercing projectile for the Type 92 infantry gun, but it is rarely put to use.

The Japanese artillerymen who had never used this thing to shoot armored targets had limited understanding of the distributed armor-piercing bullets as "for shooting armored fighting vehicles" in the instructions.

As for the specific effect, probably even the instructor who instructs how to operate this gun doesn't know.

"Hit! Hit the Russian tank! Onboard!!!"

Seeing the armor-piercing projectile with a bright white tracer hit the target accurately, several Japanese artillerymen, whose brains were stimulated by a strong sense of excitement, cheered in unison on the spot.

But maybe no one ever taught them

It is one thing for an armor-piercing projectile to hit the target; it is another thing to be able to penetrate the armor and cause effective damage.

Unexpectedly, the Russian tank burst into flames and exploded, and was torn apart on the spot by a blow from the "Imperial Divine Artillery".

It's like an adult who was hit on the foot by a child throwing a stone, but can still continue to walk and run without any concern at all.

But there is one exception, that is, the "adult" of the Russian tank opposite, who really knows how to argue with the "little kid who throws stones" and vows to ask for an explanation.

And he used the method of throwing back bigger "stones" to ask for it.

With the front of the car body equipped with external additional armor, the 70mm armor-piercing bullet was firmly eaten, and the bullet bounced off on the spot and shot diagonally into the air.

He received a notification from Alsim from outside the car through the on-board wired phone. He adjusted the periscope in the direction in which the tracer armor-piercing bullet had just come. The commander, who had quick eyes and quick hands, found the target with just one glance.

"Enemy artillery! One o'clock direction, 150 meters away! Gunner, prepare!"

"Aimed!"

"Fire!"

boom--

Although the firing sound of the 100mm main gun was not as loud as that of the IS7's 130mm gun, the powerful impact still made Alsim behind the car numb.

The muzzle velocity of the 100mm grenade was much higher than that of the Type 92 infantry gun, and it went straight to the target.

I was still immersed in the soul question "Why did the hit have no effect?", I had no chance to hide, and I didn't realize that the Russian tank revenge came so quickly.

The Japanese artillery crew, which had almost zero experience in the field of anti-tank combat, sacrificed themselves to the sky in the next second.

Boom——

The Type 92 infantry gun, which had its gun mantlet removed to conceal its body and reduce its weight as much as possible, was sent to the sky at the same time along with an entire Japanese artillery battery around it.

What's even more terrible is that the entire box of artillery shells that the Japanese artillery crew just carried to the gun position was blown up by this powerful 100mm grenade and died on the spot.

Several boxes of 70mm artillery shells plus one 100mm grenade, a powerful chain of explosions, not only completely destroyed the entire Japanese artillery battery and artillery, but also the dozens of Japanese infantry around them could not escape the disaster.

For a moment, there were only explosions, dust flying, and the huge fire impact was filled with Japanese corpses and weapon fragments all over the sky. A large amount of hot soil was lifted into the sky together, and then fell heavily.

Destroying an artillery group with one shot at a distance of only 150 meters is not something to brag about. The commander who was calm and confirmed the impact of the strike picked up the phone at hand and immediately reported back to Alsim outside the car.

"Goal solved, moving forward."

"Copy that, thanks for the support."

Snapped--

He put the car-mounted wired phone back into the storage box on the butt of the tank. Seeing that the distance was almost there, Alsim immediately shouted an order.

"Prepare to charge!"

Following the tanks' synergy with infantry and tanks, they were covered all the way to the front of the Japanese army and reached the final charging distance.

Under the cover of various vehicle-mounted machine guns and machine guns, he led the soldiers to escape from behind the tank.

He raised the AK in his hand and fired at any target that dared to show his head. Alsim, who walked and shot while walking, quickly rushed to the point where the bayonet saw red. against the enemy troops rushing up.

Da da da da——

"Uh-huh!"

Plop——

The AK in his hand was indeed equipped with a bayonet. Alsim guessed that this setting might have given the Japanese devils some illusion.

But in short, having a bayonet does not mean that he has to fight with the Japanese on the bayonet. Alsim did not even give the Japanese soldier a chance to show off his melee skills. He raised his hand and fired four short bursts, all of which hit the torso, causing the blood to bloom. , the Japanese screamed and killed him on the spot.

"Who the hell wants to fight with you on the bayonet, silly B Suka!"

He unloaded the magazine and reloaded, pulled the charging handle with his backhand and reached it in one step. Alsim, who was leaning against the wreckage of a Japanese truck as a bunker, looked around and found that the Japanese troops, who had been brutally suppressed by various firepower, were in chaos.

There was no preset position at all and it was impossible to withstand the impact. Even the Japanese machine gunners awkwardly lay down on the spot, using the air as a machine gun cover to shoot while lying down.

Seeing such a scene, Alsim just smiled knowingly.

"Be careful, don't rush in! Keep your distance to take advantage of your firepower, and try to use your gun to resolve the battle! Follow me!"

"clear!"

The lack of a preset position not only made it difficult for the Japanese army to defend, it also required the attacking Red Army to be cautious.

There are no bunkers or fortifications to rely on, which means that the attacker will be almost completely exposed to direct fire from the enemy.

It is obviously inappropriate to rush forward with a straight body at this time.

Fighting with bayonets in close combat was a passion, but Alsim also felt that these Japanese devils were not worthy of causing the Red Army to pay more bloodshed and sacrifices. These two-legged beasts only deserved to eat bullets and artillery shells.

Relying on the nearby bunkers, all kinds of debris and craters were used.

The leader's army, whose individual firepower was twice that of the Japanese army, showed off its power at this moment, with all kinds of fully automatic weapons hitting them to death and firing at full range.

A belt of bullets was a 100-round PRD light machine gun. The dozen or so Japanese soldiers armed with bolt-action rifles did not even dare to show their heads. The roar of the machine gun barrages overhead was like the roar of evil spirits.

"Baga! The firepower of the Russian pigs is too strong! Where did they get so many machine guns? Do they all have machine guns in their hands!?"

The vast majority of Japanese soldiers' understanding of automatic weapons is still limited to "machine gun", which is normal for many Japanese soldiers who have never even seen what a submachine gun looks like.

Seeing that the guns in the hands of the Russians were just crackling and crackling, they raised their hands to swipe and fire in rapid succession. They did not even leave a shooting window for the Japanese soldiers. The fighting was so cruel and cruel that it was inhumane.

The Japanese army, who mistakenly thought that the Russians were "fully equipped with guns", had never seen this battle before. In their impression, even the best-equipped Chinese army's firepower was not as good as one-tenth, one-twentieth, or even one-tenth of what it was in front of them. It's one-thirtieth.

"Captain Cao, what should we do!? If this continues, we will all be wiped out by the Russians! We can't sit still and wait for death!"

It felt like my ears were filled with the crackling sound of gunfire, and I could barely hear what the person in my ear was saying.

Shocked and frightened, Chief Cao forced himself to calm down and was thinking about how to give an order.

His big eyes glanced at the thing in the hands of a big-headed soldier, and he burst into ecstasy on the spot as if he had found a treasure.

"Yes! There is a way. Use the grenade! Use the grenade to blow up these Russian pigs!"

The individual-grade grenade, which is smaller and easier to carry than a mortar, is undoubtedly an heirloom weapon of the Japanese army. Its status in the Japanese army is comparable to the 122 heirloom of the Red Army's heavy tank unit.

Although the grenade launched by this gadget looks ugly, it can travel further than being thrown by hand. In the hands of skilled Japs, it even has a terrifying hit rate of more than 70%.

Moreover, a single soldier can carry out artillery attacks without the need to set up artillery positions. It is so unpredictable and difficult to guard against that even the fourth-class bipedal beasts of the U.S. Army with their nostrils turned upward suffered heavy losses from this thing.

But Alsim, who was fully prepared, had already expected this.

The comrade commander once specifically warned that during infantry operations, one must be careful of the grenade in the hands of the Japanese. Don't be fooled by this thing before you regret it too late.

Alsim, who had his own way to deal with it, was already ready at this moment. He put the super-caliber 100mm RPG-1 rocket-propelled grenade on his shoulder and pointed the erected mechanical ruler directly at the crater where the Japanese army was hiding.

"Let's see whose guy is more aggressive!"

call out--

Whoosh——

The moment he pulled the trigger, he heard a piercing scream tearing through the air.

The 100mm anti-explosive grenade dragging an orange-red tail flame goes straight towards the target. Even if the enemy is hiding in the crater and in the blind spot, he can still hit it without fail.

Boom——

It hit the edge of the crater and exploded.

The 100mm grenade that explodes at extremely close range is no longer a matter of physical damage. The overpressure damage caused by the blast impact alone is enough to take away living creatures instantly.

With their heads buried in the crater, they were setting up grenades and holding grenades in their hands. They were about to take aim. The few Japanese soldiers who didn't even react to what was going on only heard a loud bang.

As soon as his ears went deaf and his vision went dark, he fainted on the spot, and said goodbye to this terrible world of loud gunfire.

"One more shot! Reload!"

After firing a round of PRG, he quickly dodged and retreated to the wreckage bunker. He asked the assistant shooter to quickly reload the barrel in his hand. When he looked up, he saw that the crater was still smoking. Alsim fired on the shoulder again.

call out--

With the known ballistic trajectory of the previous round, Alsim, who shot more accurately this time, directly sent the 100mm grenade into the crater with a whistling sound through the air.

Boom——

Another explosion of fire shot into the sky. The difference was that this time in addition to the hot soil, there were also the smoking remains of the Japanese with missing arms and legs, soaring into the sky.
