Chapter 214 Yichang Defensive Battle (10)

One by one, the Japanese troops, with small teams as teams, attacked the Chinese positions with all their might.

Just when the troops at the forefront of the Japanese army rushed to about 50 meters in front of the Chinese army's position, suddenly, the Chinese position burst into gunfire, and light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and assault rifles were fired together.

The Japanese troops in front fell down one by one like the straw tall, and the Japanese troops in the back continued to rush forward. The Japanese army often regarded dying on the battlefield as a kind of honor, so they were brave and fearless of death, knowing that rushing forward was death, but they still pounced forward one by one.

The corpses in front of them were accumulating more and more, and the Japanese soldiers stepped on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in front of them, rushing forward, and they were getting closer and closer to the positions of the Chinese troops.

At this time, as if the sky was thundering, there was a rumbling sound, and the sound was getting more and more intense. Some Japanese soldiers heard that it was not thunder, but the roar of tank engines.

Some Japanese troops are still secretly happy, as if God helps, if the Japanese tank troops come to support at this time, then this position will be captured in a hurry.

The tank battalion that swam forward was still in a wedge shock formation, and it crushed towards the middle of the Japanese line. At this time, the three wings of the Japanese army attacked from south to north, and the tank battalion swimming forward was from west to east, crushing the Japanese army.

The 1st company was in a wedge battle formation, with 1 platoon of 5 tanks in front, 50 meters apart, 2 platoons on the left, forming a column, covering the right flank of the company, while attacking the enemy on the left, and 3 platoons on the right, covering the left flank of the company, while attacking the enemy on the right.

The company commander and a spare chariot lined up in the middle of this wedge-shaped phalanx, and commanded the actions of the whole company.

The 2nd Company was the last of the 1st Company's leftmost chariots, 50 meters apart, lined up, and attacked the enemy on the left flank. The 3rd Company was the last of the 1st Company's right flank chariots, with a distance of 50 meters, also lined up, mainly attacking the enemy on the right flank.

Swimming forward, he led a spare chariot in the center of this rectangular battle formation, commanding the entire tank battalion.

The M2 tank has a maximum speed of 43 km/h and a maximum cross-country speed of 28 km/h. Swimming forward, he ordered the tank battalion to advance at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and at once cut into the middle of the entire Japanese attacking force.

At this time, the little devil who rushed to the front regretted it a little, he thought that this was the tank of the Japanese army, how did it become the tank of the Chinese army, and he suddenly drove behind his ass, and he couldn't attack with all his strength, and he had to guard against the black guns of the tanks behind.

And the little devils who rushed behind were also a little embarrassed, and so many steel monsters suddenly appeared in front of them, so that they didn't expect it, how to attack, blocking the way. Some Japanese soldiers shouted: "Where are our planes, artillery, and tanks?" Isn't it that the Chinese army doesn't even have artillery, where did they get their tanks? What's going on, who can explain? ”

Kazuki Nakamura, the captain of the 65th Wing, saw that this was worth it, which was equivalent to a big knife inserted into his heart, messing up his offensive tactics, not to mention, and making a mess of the offensive team. He shouted hoarsely: "The Feito brigade, yours, quickly, take out the Chinese tanks." ”

When the captain of the Hito Brigade heard this, he was also a little embarrassed, and asked me to fight the tank, why, could it be said that it was a grenade. He asked Nakamoto Kazuki a little at a loss: "Nakamura Kazuki Daisa, ask our infantry to fight tanks, how to fight, do you say use heavy machine guns, or grenadiers?" ”

"Yaga!" Nakamura Kazuki jumped like thunder and roared loudly: "As for how to fight, that's your business!" If you are told to fight, you will fight, whether it is a heavy machine gun or a grenadier, it is really not possible to use grenades, as long as it is to defeat the Chinese tank forces. ”

"Hayi!" For this impossible task, Captain Feito can only obey unconditionally.

Captain Feito had no choice but to order the Gangmura squadron: "Your Gangmura squadron, go with me to take out the Chinese tanks." ”

When Gangcun heard this, it was led by the captain anyway, and the child cried and hugged his mother, what was I afraid of, so I hurriedly led one of my squadrons to fight the tank battalion that swam forward.

At this time, the tank battalion that swam forward had already rushed over, and Feihu hurriedly ordered: "All heavy machine guns, light machine guns, fire cover." ”

So all the three-year-old heavy machine guns and crooked light machine guns of the Hito Brigade fired wildly at the tank battalion swimming forward.

Three-year heavy machine guns, crooked machine guns and Type 38 rifles, are all 6.5 mm bullets, bullets are universal is an advantage, saving the arsenal, but the shortcomings of the insufficient impact of the bullet have also been exposed. Countless bullets hit the M2 tank, but the bullets could not penetrate the 25 mm thick protective armor at all, and the bullets fell to the ground one after another.

Captain Hito shook his head and said, "Stop shooting, it doesn't work, it doesn't work at all." Save these precious bullets! ”

Shooting stopped here, but the heavy machine guns on the M2 tank strafed at them. The M2 tank was originally equipped with a 37mm gun and 8 7.62mm machine guns, which were changed by Han Xing, that is, the 7.62mm machine gun was removed and replaced with 2 12.7mm machine guns.

The 12.7mm machine gun can easily penetrate 12mm thick steel plates, making it a powerful weapon against the Little Devil Bean Chariot.

The heavy machine gun on the M2 tank was full of power, and the three-year heavy machine gun with no protective armor was surrounded by wolf smoke, and strings of dust more than a foot high flew up, and the bullets could pierce the bodies of three soldiers in a row, and the bullets hit the heavy machine guns, and they could also damage the parts of the heavy machine guns.

"Yaga!" This time it was the turn of the captain of the Odo Brigade to lose his temper, and he yelled loudly: "Gangcun squadron, the infantry carry grenades, go and blow up the Chinese tank car!" ”

The Squadron Leader of Gangcun asked: "Captain Dahu, ask my soldiers to blow up tanks, where should I start?" ”

The question asked by the Squadron Leader Gangcun was very crucial, he didn't know where to start dealing with this steel monster, and of course the soldiers didn't know how to start.

"Yaga!" The big family vented the anger he received from Nakamura Kazuki on Gangmura's body again: "As for where to start, that's your business." As long as it is to blow up the tanks of the Chinese army! ”

The captain of the Gangcun squadron, who was scolded and didn't know how to be interested, still held back his anger and asked: "My soldiers, I really don't know where to start blowing up the Chinese tank, so I still ask the captain of the big family for advice." ”

"Yaga!" The captain of the big family was even more anxious, and scolded, "If I knew where to start, wouldn't I have said it earlier." As for how to hit Chinese tanks, I think it's better to throw grenades into their tanks. ”

"Harb! I understand. Gangcun shouted and hurriedly led his squadron to attack the Chinese tanks.

The full strength of the Gangcun squadron was supposed to be 180 people, but along the way to Yichang, more than 40 people had been killed, more than 30 people died in the air raid just now, and in the first round of attack, more than 20 people died, and only about 90 people remained. In this unhesitating attack on Yichang, there was no way to get reinforcements.

Therefore, Gangcun personally led these 90 or so people to rush forward. Gangcun shouted as he took the lead in the charge: "Lift the canopy of the tank and throw the grenade into the Chinese tank." ”

A row of 12.7 mm heavy machine gun bullets flew in, and several soldiers around Gangcun immediately fell. The wounds were so big that they couldn't be saved, some died on the spot, and some didn't live for dozens of seconds, and they also died because of excessive bleeding.

Gangcun's face was heavy, and he shouted loudly: "Brave soldiers of the Imperial Army, the time has come to test us, if we can't defeat the Chinese tanks, our Yichang will not be able to be occupied." Rabbit give-"

With a wave of his hand, Gangcun led a group of Japanese soldiers, holding grenades, and rushed towards the Chinese tank car.

In the wilderness, no matter how fast a person runs, it is about 15 kilometers, while the speed of a tank reaches 20 kilometers. Thanks to the people of Gangcun, they are attacking from the side, or they will definitely not be able to catch up with the tanks that are moving forward.

A Japanese soldier ran faster and couldn't dodge, and the high-speed tank truck knocked down the Japanese soldier at once, and he was hit on the head and bleeding, and the tank ran over him again.

After the tank drove away, the Japanese soldier could no longer see, only the silhouette of a vague person and a pile of flesh and blood.

More Japanese soldiers, shot down by a dense stream of bullets fired from tank vehicles. As long as you are hit by a 12.7mm bullet, you will never be able to get up again.

The tank battalion that swam forward drove over with a ......"bang", and there were still about 60 people left in the squadron in Gangcun. Seeing that the last tank of the tank battalion was going farther and farther, Gangcun shook his head helplessly: "If you can't catch up, you can only chase farther and farther." ”

What I really didn't expect was that the tank battalion that swam forward drove to the other end of the position and drove back with a bang. Gangcun excitedly said to his soldiers, "Yo Xi! Yo West! We still have a chance, and it's up to us this time. Be sure to climb into the tank, lift the lid of the tank, throw a grenade into the Chinese tank, and blow them all up. Attention all, lie down-"

The 60 or so Japanese soldiers, all lying on the ground, stared at the tanks with blood-red eyes and dusty faces, watched the tanks slowly move forward.

Each of them had a grenade in their hands, and some had several grenades on their shoulders. The Japanese grenades were like small melons, there were no wooden handles, the safety pin had already been removed, and as long as it was knocked on the armor, the grenades would explode after five to seven seconds.

The tank battalion that swam forward drove forward quickly, and the speed was relatively slow from a distance, but in fact, the speed was still very fast, and after a while, it was in front of the Gangcun squadron.
