Chapter 104: Victory in the First Battle
While commanding the operation, Yang Jing once again incarnated as a sharpshooter and sniped at key targets of the Japanese army.
However, his strength alone was limited, and he was not enough to turn the tide and stop the Japanese army's frontal advance.
At the critical moment, Rake Ear finally hurried over with a company of artillery battalions and seven or eight field guns.
When Yang Jing learned about it, he immediately went down to the city tower and greeted him.
"Rake your ears, you immediately lead the artillery battalion soldiers to deploy the artillery position, and give me a damn bomb!"
Yang Jing explained, and then took Ma Tong, Niu Dazhuang and others, first pushed a 75mm caliber field cannon, came to a gap in the city wall that was blown up, set up a cannon on the spot, and simply built an artillery position.
Subsequently, he began to override the field artillery himself, aiming at a Japanese tank that was really rumbling forward and constantly firing at the head of the city.
It is worth mentioning that in order to cover the coordinated advance of the infantry, the Japanese tank crew did not have full horsepower, so the speed was not very fast.
Invisibly, Yang Jing's attack became a lot easier.
Yang Jing calculated the speed of the devil tank and the trajectory of its propulsion, and estimated the position it would appear in two seconds.
"Cannonballs!"
The next moment, Yang Jing immediately took a high-explosive grenade from Ma Tong's hand, loaded it into the chamber of the gun himself, and fired it himself.
"Tom!"
With a muffled sound, the orange-yellow shells burst out of their disembowels, dragging the scorching tail flames into the air, and flew towards the devil tank that was still firing.
The next moment, the shell landed precisely on the roof of the tank and exploded with a 'boom'.
The unbridled shock wave directly flew the turret of the devil tank and the vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun.
The dozens of devil soldiers who advanced together with this tank were affected one after another, screaming and being killed and wounded.
The tank crew in the cabin was also killed on the spot by the shock wave of the high-explosive grenade, and the entire tank was enveloped in a blaze in an instant, and soon turned into a pile of scrap metal.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the host, destroy an enemy tank, explode 1 military car, 1 barrel of gasoline; Merit +1000, XP +1000. ”
"System prompt: Congratulations to the host, kill an enemy tank soldier, explode 1 90mm small steel cannon, 1 box of shells; Merit +10, XP +10. ”
"System prompt: Congratulations to the host ......"
……
The hit greatly boosted the morale of the defenders. Many of the fighters roared and cheered, and continued to fire, bursting out with more tenacious combat effectiveness.
Immediately after, Yang Jing continued to adjust the shooting of Zhu Yuan and began to lock on to the next target.
The next moment, the shell again hit the tank tank of the devil with precision.
The raging shock wave tore the armor on the top of the tank, and then caused the explosion of the tank shells in the cabin, and suddenly sent out a more violent shock wave.
A huge red light rose directly from the ground.
In the red light, the entire tank was torn apart on the spot, and all kinds of broken tank parts scattered with the raging shock wave. Dozens of devil soldiers around were affected one after another.
Some of the devils were even cut off by the fragments of tank armor that came in, or their bodies were cut off, or their heads were smashed and their brains burst out.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the host, the character has exploded, destroyed an enemy tank, exploded 1 small steamer, and 1 barrel of gasoline; Merit +1000, XP +1000. ”
"System Prompt: Congratulations to the host, kill an enemy tank soldier, explode 1 box of mines, merit +10, experience +10."
"System prompt: Congratulations to the host, kill an enemy tank soldier, and explode 1 box of wooden-handled grenades; Merit +10, XP +10. ”
……
After Yang Jing destroyed two Japanese tanks in a row, Rake Ear also led the soldiers of the artillery battalion to set up artillery positions and opened fire decisively.
Their accuracy is much worse than that of Yang Jing, but they can still destroy a tank from time to time.
Because there were too many devils, the missed shells, although they failed to hit the Japanese tanks, caused a lot of damage to the devil soldiers who coordinated the attack.
The commander of the 30th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, Sasaki Toichi, has been watching this siege battle in the rear, and when the first tank and combat vehicle were destroyed by Yang Jing, this old devil was only an accident.
However, when the second and third tanks were destroyed by the defenders' artillery one after another, the old devil finally did not calm down.
Because whether it is the tank soldiers of the imperial army or the tank fighting vehicles they drive, they are the most valuable wealth of the empire.
It's just that the matter has come to this point, and seeing that the attacking troops are about to come to the city, although he is heartbroken, he is unwilling to give up.
Instead, the 22nd Artillery Wing was ordered to immediately open fire and counterfire on the defenders to cover the attacking troops to continue the charge.
In his opinion, as long as the attacking troops of the imperial army rushed into the city and joined the defenders in short combat, with the invincible stabbing technique of the imperial army, they would definitely be able to easily defeat the defenders of China.
However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Under the powerful fire of Yang Jing's artillery battalion, in less than five minutes, the tank brigade of the 16th Division of the Japanese army lost seven or eight tanks.
The rest of the devil tank crews were all timid, and they stopped advancing one after another, and some even began to turn backwards despite orders.
Really, the defenders' super strong and ultra-accurate artillery strikes have brought them great oppression and deterrence, don't run? Do you continue to send to death?
Without the threat of Japanese tanks, the defenders of the Tiger Regiment were able to fire with all their might without hesitation.
Suddenly, the firepower on the head of the city intensified, and began to implement fire countermeasures against the Japanese army.
The artillery battalions also began to extend their firepower, and their accuracy in striking moving targets such as tanks and combat vehicles was not high, but they were accurate in striking fixed targets such as mortars, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine gun fire points.
Therefore, the strong offensive of the Japanese 16th Division, which was bound to win, was quickly contained.
The defenders of the Tiger Ben Regiment seized this opportunity and pursued and strafed the Japanese attacking troops who were about to turn around and flee under the artillery fire of the devils.
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da! ——”
In order to compete for the first merit before, the devil soldiers who rushed to the front were suddenly wiped out.
As soon as he turned around, he was pierced through his back by a dense rain of bullets, and they all fell down screaming.
Subsequently, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment extended their firepower, and it was not until the devil escaped out of the range of their own fire that the defenders on the city wall stopped firing one after another.
And under the command of their respective commanders, they withdrew the city walls and dodged the retaliatory fire of the devils.
