Chapter 65 What does cavalry need to fight tanks?

When Liu Xiu heard Li Yunlong's words, he knew that this must be because Li Yunlong had just waited until he had more than a thousand horses and upgraded his independent regiment to an independent cavalry regiment and felt that he was good again!

As for Li Yunlong's proposal, Liu Xiu did not stop it. Of course, not only Liu Xiu, but also Zhao Gang did not stop it!

Obviously this is also the confidence brought by becoming a cavalry regiment!
  After all, after becoming a cavalry, even if they can't beat an infantry regiment of the Little Devils head-on, they can't interfere with it!
  With the mobility of the cavalry, the little devil can't catch up!

But as the independent regiment approached the main force of the little devil, they discovered that the little devil had spent a lot of money to decide on the eighth route this time!

At least the most powerful land combat equipment of the Little Devils, the Type 97 tanks, there are no less than ten. You must know that this is the number of tanks dispatched to encircle and suppress the Independent Regiment. As for how many Little Devils the Eighth Route Army in other places are facing I don’t know about tanks!
  After all, the independent group is a regiment-level unit, but without a radio station to contact the superiors, it is naturally unclear!

But even if there are more tanks, it doesn't matter, because before the little devil's encirclement and suppression, the armor-piercing grenades modified by the Eighth Route Army's arsenal have been distributed to various regiment-level units!

You must know that Liu Xiu had already completed the production of shaped armor-piercing grenades at the end of 1940, and they could be equipped in 1941. However, the superiors heard Liu Xiu's comments about the weaknesses of shaped armor-piercing grenades. It has been in production since then but has not been distributed.

The reason why we are naturally waiting for this is when the little devils are going to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army!
  But now that Liu Xiu saw so many tanks, he immediately took out the grenade without hesitation, then loaded the matching armor-piercing grenade and fired at the Type 97 tank at the front two hundred meters away!
  Under the action of the muzzle brake and cushioning pad, Liu Xiu easily withstood the remaining recoil of the grenade!

Even when Liu Xiu was riding on a horse, his figure did not sway at all. The main credit for this was naturally the muzzle brake. Of course, Liu Xiu himself had also grown up a lot. After all, Liu Xiu had now grown from just one meter tall. The height of 3 has become 1.6 meters now, and the weight has also become over 100 kilograms!
  It takes more than two seconds for the grenade fired from the grenade to fly two hundred meters away!
  But when Liu Xiu stopped two hundred meters away, the little Japanese's Type 97 tank also stopped and turned its muzzle to aim this way!
  However, it was too late, because Liu Xiu's armor-piercing grenade had hit the body armor of the Type 97 tank and exploded!

The explosion also squeezed the conical brass cover inside the howitzer into a high-temperature and high-speed metal jet!

So the high-temperature and high-speed metal jet easily penetrated the 25 mm thick steel plate, and then hit the ammunition storage area inside it!

That's right, the Type 97 tank or the tanks in World War II all placed ammunition inside the body, instead of putting ammunition at the rear of the rotating turret like later modern tanks!
  Therefore, you will find that the rotating turrets of tanks during World War II are very small, instead of having a large and flat rotating turret like modern third-generation tanks, such as Leopard 1 or M tanks!   The reason why modern tanks have large turret tails is because modern tanks put all the tank’s artillery ammunition at the turret tail!

It is precisely because of this design that it has very good internal driver protection capabilities, because even if the ammunition at the rear of the turret is hit and explodes, the pressure of its explosion can be relieved through the pressure relief valve. , thereby protecting the personnel inside the tank!

And if it were still placed in the body of the tank as it was during World War II, the entire turret would be blown over like it is now!

The ammunition exploded from inside the tank body has nowhere to vent the pressure of the explosion, so the connection between the tank turret and the tank body naturally becomes a good outlet!
  Of course, it's not just tanks from World War II. Any tank with ammunition placed inside the body will overturn the tank's turret after being hit by the ammunition and exploding!
  Of course, when Liu Xiu was dealing with the first tank, the others were not idle either. After all, Liu Xiu's second battalion already had more than twenty grenades, so under the attack of shaped armor-breaking grenades, Naturally, all the ten Type 97 tanks brought by this little devil had their turrets overturned!

Of course, although the most powerful land warfare weapon of the Japs was wiped out at once, this does not mean that the Japs are a soft persimmon. Facing the Japs who are setting up machine guns and grenade launchers, Li Yunlong is still very conscientious. Choose to retreat!

After all, if you kill the ten tanks of the Japs this time, you will definitely make money!
  ···········
  "Comrades, rush with me! As long as we break out of this encirclement, we will win!"

The one who said this was Kong Jie who was leading the Guards Platoon with a big blade!
  At this time, Kong Jie had already followed the orders of his superiors and asked the new second regiment to break out of the encirclement alone after breaking out of the first encirclement!
  And he, Kong Jie, also led the regiment of the New Second Regiment and the Guards Platoon to break out alone!
  However, in the original plot of Liangjian, Kong Jie's new second regiment suffered the most casualties among the three regiments Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, and Kong Jie. The reason for the huge casualties was not only that Kong Jie's commanding ability was slightly inferior, but more importantly, Kong Jie's commanding ability was slightly inferior. This new second regiment of the Czech Republic is a regiment that has just been established.

You must know that after Kong Jie avenged his humiliation in the Battle of Lijiapo, he went to the rear to recuperate because of his injury. Then after he recovered from his injury, he was transferred by his superiors to form a new second regiment. Therefore, a new regiment was established less than two years ago. The combat effectiveness of the formed group is naturally not as strong as those of the old groups!
  The reason why Ding Wei's casualties in the original plot were relatively small, even smaller than that of Li Yunlong's independent regiment, is that in addition to Ding Wei's good commanding ability, another objective condition is that Li Yunlong's new regiment is capable of fighting tough battles and dares to do so. A desperate group of tough guys, and most importantly, all of Li Yunlong’s fortune in Xinyi Tuanzan was left to Ding Wei!
  It is these objective conditions that allowed Ding Wei to suffer the least loss in the sweep!
  Just when Kong Jie was leading the Guards platoon to fight the Japs, Li Yunlong, who was running around with the independent cavalry regiment, also saw through the telescope that Kong Jie was at a disadvantage, and the situation was not good! !
  So Li Yunlong ordered without thinking:

"The cavalry company quickly charged to bring out the old deputy of our independent regiment! The independent regiment followed closely behind!"

Following Li Yunlong's words, Sun Desheng immediately drew his saber and led the soldiers of the cavalry company towards the group of little devils surrounding Kong Jie!
  Naturally, Sun Desheng also knew Kong Jiejie. After all, Kong Jiena only left the Independent Regiment after the Battle of Lijiapo!
  It has to be said that when the cavalry charged and wielded their cavalry swords to kill, they were still very lethal. Liu Xiu saw with his own eyes that Sun Desheng, who was leading the charge, cut off the arm of a little devil with a single blow, and Even his brain was chopped off!
