264th Battle of Rice Ridge (5)
Soon, all 5 Type 94 tanks were lying on their stomachs, and none of them could still drive.
Yi Jiang Shengyong chased after the poor man, and Han Xing continued to shout: "The heavy machine gun continues to suppress the infantry behind, and you can't stand on their breath." ”
Heavy machine guns continued to fire at medium tanks and infantry behind the tanks. The 12.7 mm heavy machine gun bullet hit the Type 97 tank, and the 25 mm thick steel plate worked, just a little white mark, and then the bullet slipped over, not damaging the thick armor at all.
However, some bullets hit the infantry behind, and it was different, the powerful bullets passed through the body of one Japanese soldier, and then reached the body of another soldier, and the bullet could penetrate two people in a row, and then to the body of a third person.
The Japanese were so densely arranged, and so dense were the 12.7mm bullets, that the Japanese quickly lost their temper and they hid behind the tanks. However, the area of tanks is limited after all, and it is simply impossible for a large group of Japanese troops to hide in the dead corners behind.
There were still quite a few Japanese soldiers who were knocked down by bullets from heavy machine guns.
Zou Jiyan saw that the opportunity for the death squad had arrived, and said to Wang Zhongren: "It's your turn, go up-"
Wang Chongren's death squad almost didn't pick many people, because except for the dead and seriously wounded, almost all of them were able to move, and they all asked to participate in the death squad. In the end, Wang Chongren had to force a few people to stay, because these few were either only children, or several generations of single transmission, hoping to leave a root for their family.
In this way, the death squads organized fifty or sixty people.
Wang Zhongren shouted to his daredevils: "Brothers, we are fortunate that we have been able to fight until now and survive. If he dies, his family is taken care of by the government, and he is also a martyr. The disabled are also covered by the government, and we have no worries, so what are we afraid of?
This war is a dead man, he didn't die earlier, he will die when he is late, and he will die on the blade, there is a big order in front of him, if he can fight a tank before he dies, then we will be in the underworld, and it will be glorious, and Lord Yama will also look up to us.
Today's task is very simple, that is, to rush to the tank, put the explosive bag or grenade on the track, and as soon as the rope is pulled, our task is completed, and we can rest. Before leaving, it is also a partial, what else do you have to say? ”
The soldiers said babblingly: "Company Commander Wang, we will follow you." "It's that when you go to the Netherworld, there are so many people as companions, what are you afraid of!" "Company Commander Wang, follow you, we are not afraid!" "Commander Wang, we can be together in life, and we must be together in death."
Wang Chongren nodded and said, "Okay, let's go on the road!" ”
Wang took the lead, jumped out of the trench, and then led these daredevils, using one crater after another, using one concealment after another, and began to meet the enemy's tanks.
When the attacking devils saw so many Chinese soldiers rushing down from the mountain, some were holding explosive packs, some were holding cluster grenades, needless to say, they were desperately looking for tanks. The artillery, machine guns, infantry behind the tank, on the medium tank, fired even more fiercely at the Chinese soldiers who came down from above.
Zou Jiyan and Han Xing issued an order at the same time: "At all costs, cover with fire." So the heavy machine guns, light machine guns, assault rifles, and lieutenants on the mountain also shot vigorously down the mountain.
The two sides launched an even more fierce firefight, only to shatter the stones, grass and trees, and dust. In the fierce confrontation, many of the daredevils fell down and never got up again.
There was a lucky fighter who pounced on a medium tank, in fact, he had already been hit by two bullets, but an excitement, a passion supported him, he pulled the fuse on the explosive bag, and he was hit by two more bullets. Even if he wanted to escape, he would have no strength.
The devil in the tank was shocked when he saw this scene, so he had to drive the tank backwards. The devils behind the tank were also covering it, shooting at the attacking Chinese soldiers.
"Boom-" There was a violent explosion, and the dirt raised by the explosion wave rose more than ten meters high, and then slowly fell. Our warriors also turned into a piece of dirt and gained immortality in the dirt.
Where we came from and where we are going, we have come from the dirt, gone or back to the dirt, and in the fragrance of the earth, the souls of the warriors will rest in peace.
Although the Type 97 tank could still move, it was not lightly frightened, and it no longer dared to attack upwards.
Then the second fighter pounced, he had already pulled the fuse, and rushed to the tank with the explosive bag that was about to explode. The tank still wanted to retreat, but where to retreat, there was a nest of devils behind it, dodging the hail of missiles above.
With a "boom", the explosive pack exploded, and the soldier's body and tank were wiped out. The tank caught fire, and two tankmen who were on fire jumped out of the tank, rolling on the ground, hoping to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but as soon as the flames on their bodies were extinguished, they were hit by machine gun bullets from the mountain, and they died.
Another soldier blew up the tracks of a medium tank with a cluster grenade, and the tank was still increasing the throttle to try to start, but the roaring tracks immediately fell off, leaving the tank motionless and a dead turtle shell.
The destruction of the two medium tanks greatly shook the devil's determination to attack, and the light tanks were all destroyed, if the medium tanks were blown up again, what could they expect from the weapons they relied on to attack?
At the moment when the enemy hesitated, Wang Chongren pounced on the explosive bag that he had already pulled, he had already been hit by three bullets, and knew that he would not survive, he just used a kind of inertia to condescendingly attack downward.
Seeing that the explosives package was about to explode, he simply took advantage of a high slope and flew down all of a sudden, and smashed his body with the explosive bag on the front deck of a Type 97 medium tank.
With a "boom-" sound, the hero's body turned into a golden light, and together with the enemy's tank, it produced a large explosion. There was a second explosion inside the tank, which shattered the tank car in one fell swoop, and the rotating turret King Eight lid was lifted into the sky by a ferocious wave of air.
There was a violent explosion, and even the infantry behind the tank car was involved, and there were many dead and wounded.
The smoke slowly cleared for a long time, and Wang Chongren's soul rose into the sky with the flying smoke. In the sky, he saw a tank taken away before hitting the road, and he smiled. Whether you go to heaven or hell, you can say without shame that I, the king, have no life in vain. One medium tank, 4 tankmen, worth ......
When the remaining three tanks looked at it, they couldn't bear it anymore psychologically, and drove the car slowly backwards. As soon as the tanks retreated, the infantry did not want to stay on the bare hillside and also retreated.
Soon, only the corpses of officers and soldiers on both sides were left on the slopes of Miling, as well as the Japanese tanks that had been blown up, like piles of scrap copper and rotten iron, paralyzed on the position alone.
Although this battle was won, Zou Jiyan and Han Xing's hearts were not happy at all, but a heavy and sad emotion was suppressed in their hearts.
Fifty or sixty death squads, not a few people returned. There were also those who died under enemy fire, and it can be said that the first company was basically all killed, and the second company, the third company, and the battalion headquarters also suffered half of the casualties.
The martyrs who died lay quietly on the battlefield, arranged in a neat row, as if they were asleep, and seemed very quiet. And there are some martyrs who can't be found at all, and have long been turned into flesh and earth, and the earth is eternal.
This grief is so suppressed that the living warriors, which one can still be happy!
Looking at Qiuling in front of you, just now it was also a flash of fire, thick smoke, gunfire roaring, and the sound shook the mountains. The sound of machine guns and the fighting of the infantry came from one after another, and the battle was fierce, as you can imagine.
For a while, it was quiet, needless to say, the devil's attack was also repelled by the second battalion of Qiuling.
No matter what you say, the 33rd Division is also an old unit that participated in the first Battle of Changsha and the Battle of Zaoyi, but this time it was beaten so badly, the aviation was almost beaten to nothing, the artillery wing was almost all reimbursed, and only 3 of the 12 tank squadrons came back.
This...... This...... Is this a Chinese unit? He could barely believe his judgment.
But after all, the 33rd Division was a Japanese army unit that had instilled the spirit of bushido, and he would not admit defeat until there was not the last soldier left.
Sakurai continued to shout arrogantly: "The aviation is over, there is still artillery, the artillery is over, there are still armored troops, the armored troops are finished, and there are infantry, I don't believe it, I can't gnaw the two bones of Miling and Qiuling." Attention to the infantry wing, no one should be expected this time, you must attack alone, showing your bushido's tenacious fighting spirit and excellent tactical qualities. ”
The commander of the 214th Wing, Dayi, immediately shouted to Sakurai Province: "Hayi! ”
He also knew that he was still counting on the cover of aviation, artillery, and armored troops, and he could only rely on his own scriptures and attack alone.
Dayi is still very smart, the 214th Wing attacked the two hills alone, the firepower could not be distributed, and the troops were not easy to arrange, so they still concentrated their forces and captured the hill of Qiuling. After capturing Qiuling, attack the hill of Miling, which is also called each break, and concentrate a fist to hit the enemy.
Therefore, he first concentrated all the firepower and strength of the wing and concentrated on attacking the Qiuling Mountain.
Zou Jiyan and Han Xing saw the hill on the Qiu Ridge.
The battle was extremely fierce, Wang Xueqin Yingli had favorable terrain and strong fortifications, calmly coped with it, rose up to meet the battle, repelled the enemy's frantic charge again and again, and killed and wounded batch after batch of enemy troops. However, due to the small defensive area on Qiuling, under the heavy bombardment of the Japanese artillery wing, they also suffered heavy casualties, and the wounded officers and men were constantly carried down their positions and transported to the rear through the Miling position.
