281st Tank Battalion Sortie (3)
The 34th Division's Ogamo had already observed the direction of the tank unit through the binoculars, and couldn't help but scold: "Yaga! If people are unlucky, they really stuff their teeth with cold water. Our 34th Division is really sleepy at this time, and the ammunition cannot be supplied, and you are going to cut off my back road at this time, isn't this asking for my old life! ”
But at this time, it is useless to complain, and now the only way is to count on the rescue of the 33rd Division.
He used a walkie-talkie to hysterically send a pitiful call to Sakurai Shozo of the 33rd Division: "Your Excellency Sakurai, now you are the only ones who can save our 34th Division." We are all classmates in the same school, and we serve in the same 11th Army, and we must ask you to pull us from the 34th Division because of our many years of relationship? ”
Sakurai is also strange for being smart, what did the 33rd Division do, it was here to save the 34th Division, it suffered such a big loss, and the 64th defeat was just like this, so it must be trembling. Who wouldn't say good things, after suffering such a big loss, if you don't say something nice, wouldn't you be a fool!
Sakurai said to Ogashiu with three teeth: "Brother Oga, your business is my business, and my 33rd Division is the last soldier left, and I will also pull you out of the fire pit." ”
Moved to tears, Oga Shigeru said excitedly: "Brother Sakurai, apart from His Majesty the Emperor, except for Amaterasu, my savior is you." If I still have the chance, I will make your tablet well, worship every day, and scrub it every day. Thank you, thank you again, thank you for your kindness! ”
The commander of the 33rd Division, Sakurai Shozo, also took it upon himself, called the wing commander of the 215th Wing over, and yelled at him: "Captain Oishi, the Chinese tank troops have come up. You say, "How?" ”
Captain Oishi still can't hear the words, this is the commander of the 3rd Division of Sakurai Province who asked him to take the initiative to ask for battle to defeat the Chinese tank forces. But the captain of the Big Stone Wing was also terrified of these steel monsters! I had no choice but to say tentatively: "Your Excellency the division commander, it is indeed not cost-effective for our infantry to fight Chinese tanks. Is the division commander thinking again, can he use other methods? ”
Sakurai Province Sanyi listened to Oishi's words, he was very angry, originally asked you to take the initiative to ask for battle, this is to give you a face, why are you so shameless! If I had another way, what would I tell you to do?
So, Sakurai Shizo pulled out his command knife and howled loudly: "Do you want me to go into battle in person, I want to use my command knife to personally cut down the Chinese tank, I want to blow up the Chinese tank with my grenade?" ”
When the captain of the Oishi Wing heard this, it seemed that there was no negotiation, so he had to say: "Your Excellency Sakurai, rest assured, I will command my wing, repel these Chinese tanks, and bring the 34th Division to our team." ”
Captain Oishi called Captain Miki over again and said to him: "Miki, the division commander has handed over the task of destroying Chinese tanks to our wing, Miki-kun, what do you think should be done?" ”
Miki isn't a fool either, you're calling me a substitute for the dead! The flesh and blood of man are fighting against these steel behemoths, and this is not a clear sign of failure! Besides, in the battle with the 70th Army, I have already tasted the spirit of the Chinese army that is not afraid of death, and I have long been a little afraid in my heart. The infantry is engaged with these tanks, can they beat them?
Miki cautiously asked: "Can we use the air force and artillery, our infantry will definitely suffer a loss when fighting tanks." ”
The captain of the Oishi Wing was also a little anxious, and in a fierce battle, people were very easy to get angry. A small thing can cause a thunderbolt to rage.
Captain Oishi said to Captain Miki in a menacing manner: "Miki-kun, the division commander has handed over the task of infantry fighting tanks to our wing. If we don't go up, who will go! If we don't break jade, who will break jade! ”
Speaking of which, Captain Miki also knew that the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, it was not but, and what else to say, so he had to stand up and say to the captain of the big stone wing: "Hayi! I have to complete the task given to me by the Wing Captain even if I die. ”
So Captain Miki, leading three squadrons of infantry and a platoon of 92 artillery, went to attack the Chinese tank convoy.
Captain Miki looked at the formation of the Chinese tank troops, and his head was a little bigger. Just now, the tank units were still in a long line of snakes, lined up in a long line, and they could attack one or several tanks of the tank units anywhere.
At this moment, the Chinese tanks saw that the Japanese troops were moving, and they also knew that the Japanese army was going to take action. The tank battalion that swam forward immediately changed from a long snake formation to a wedge-shaped attack formation.
The first row is a row of 5 tanks, which are lined up in a slightly pointed offensive formation, with a tank every 50 meters. In this way, all the enemies in front of a platoon, these 5 tanks were "taken care of".
The first of the five tanks in the second row was exactly behind the tank on the far left of the first row, and one tank every 50 meters or so, so that the enemy on the entire left flank was "taken care of".
As for the three rows, the first of the 5 tanks was lined up behind the tank on the far right of the first row, every 50 meters, so that the enemy on the entire right flank was "taken care of".
The company commander was placed in the center of the entire company to command the whole company.
The command vehicles of the tank battalion, the second company and the third company, were temporarily lined up in the formation of the first company and remained motionless to observe the tactical effect of the first company.
In order to deal with the 34th Division behind them, the offensive wedge attack formation of the three companies was exactly opposite the 34th Division. Those black holes and holes of the guns seemed to say to those wounded soldiers, if you are not afraid of death and dare to flick your claws, then come!
Miki saw that the opponent's tanks were lined up in such a formation, how could they fight? If they attack from the front, the five tanks in front are waiting for them, and if they attack from the left flank or the right flank, five tanks on each side are also waiting for them.
It would be even more unrealistic if you attacked from behind, and there were even larger tank units protecting this tank company!
If you really attack, there is no chance to take advantage of it, and if you don't attack, you can't do it, and there is no way to survive horizontally and vertically. But Miki is also a battle-hardened battleman who has been militaristic for many years, even if the situation is unfavorable, his face cannot be revealed. He drew his command knife and shouted: "Artillery platoon, shoot at me first, and bombard the Chinese tank units fiercely." ”
The infantry brigade has 2 Type 92 infantry guns, which are specially designed to attack the opponent's heavy machine guns or stubborn fire points, and this time it will be used to attack the enemy's tanks.
The Type 92 infantry gun is a very short gun, with an overall height of only 62 cm, which is very good for concealment. Don't look at the small gun, but the shells fired are not small, and they can fire 70 mm high-explosive grenades. If a single shot hits the tank, it can also overturn the tank.
"Boom, boom-" There were two loud bangs, and one of the two high-explosive grenades exploded in front of one tank, and the other exploded next to the tracks of the tank.
These two guns really startled the commander of the first company, but fortunately, there was no danger, and he immediately shouted: "Platoon commander, quickly shell these two guns." ”
The five 37-mm guns in a platoon, resolutely not allowing the enemy's 92 infantry guns to have the slightest respite, immediately fired at them. "Boom, boom" 5 shells were fired, followed by 5 more shells.
The 37 mm gun can penetrate 48 mm of armor and has a rate of fire of 27 rounds per minute, firing almost one shell every 2 seconds.
"Boom, boom, boom-" Rows of shells set off huge flames and smoke around the exposed Type 92 infantry guns, and one shell happened to blow up a Type 92 infantry gun, and the gun rack was lifted into the sky. Another infantry gun, also in the violent explosion, lost the opportunity to shoot, and the gunners were all killed.
After a while, the Type 92 infantry gun was also finished, and the gun rack was blown apart.
Miki was taken aback when he saw it, but he didn't expect that there was only one round, and the 2 guns of the artillery platoon were finished. What else is there now? Only the infantry was on it. His command knife shook again, and he ordered loudly: "The first squadron, even if it uses grenades, will also blow up the Chinese tanks into the sky." ”
The first squadron leader, originally still had a fluke mentality, Captain Miki don't call his squadron, infantry fighting tanks, how many people can survive! But what I didn't expect was that Captain Miki was the first to call his squadron. Now, there is nothing to think about, so I can only take my life.
The leader of the first squadron also drew his command knife and howled loudly: "Brave soldiers of the Imperial Army, the time has come for His Majesty the Emperor to test us. We are using grenades to blow up Chinese tanks. Machine gun cover, ducks give-"
He was in the rear and urged the officers and soldiers to go up.
As soon as the order was given, the officers and men at the grassroots level had no choice but to lead their own squads and squads, holding grenades, and attacking forward. The crooked machine guns of each squad are firing, but what is the use, even the tank armor that can't penetrate the aircraft guns, and the 6.5 mm machine gun bullets can't penetrate it.
The grenades of the grenadiers are also being fired at the tank, and these 50 mm grenades can kill people and blow up machine gun positions, but if you want to blow up the armor on the tank, you can only dream of fools.
However, a platoon of 10 12.7 mm heavy machine guns showed no mercy to the Japanese troops of this squadron. The powerful heavy machine gun bullets of the "Tutu Tu ......", "Da ......", "Tu Tu Tu ......" and "Da ......" mercilessly penetrated the bodies of these Japanese.
As long as a bullet goes in, basically the person is not saved. The bullets pierced one person, and some of them continued to pierce backwards, sometimes piercing two people, and then sending the bullets into the body of a third person.
