Chapter 694: The Little Devil with a Thief's Heart Immortal (First Update!) )
After receiving the news that the attacking troops would easily occupy the field positions outside the city of the Tiger Regiment, the two old devils, Fujita Shin and Yoshika Ryosuke, who were overjoyed, immediately ordered the forward troops to organize their troops to continue to attack the city.
Strive to break through Zhoukou as soon as possible and occupy this place.
However, the little devil's advance again was not so smooth.
As soon as they entered the city through the gap in the collapsed city wall, they were strongly blocked by the fifth battalion and the reconnaissance battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment, which had been hiding and waiting for a long time.
Xu Hailang and Wen Xiansheng, each led four or five hundred soldiers, relying on the ruins of various houses that were blown down by the devils, as well as the barricade bunkers, and opened fire on the devils who entered the city.
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da!"
"Dada ——”
At the same time, in order to enhance the firepower of the reconnaissance battalion and the fifth battalion, Yang Chen transferred 30 Vulcan Gatling from the remaining battalions to distribute to them.
At this time, the fire was in full swing, and rows of bullets hit them, and suddenly put down one devil soldier after another.
The devil soldiers, who had suffered a small loss, began to scatter in all directions, leaning on the broken city walls and the ruins of collapsed houses nearby.
began to raise their guns to return fire, and the two sides launched fierce firepower.
Due to the exchange of fire in the city, it was a street fight.
Therefore, the role that the devil's artillery and tanks can play is extremely limited.
In particular, Xu Hailang and Wen Xiansheng only put up a slight resistance, and then took the initiative to retreat into the city, in order to lure the enemy deeper and avoid possible Japanese artillery fire.
After the devils took advantage of the situation to catch up, because their own troops were in the city, the heavy artillery brigade did not dare to open artillery bombardment.
In this way, the Tiger Ben Regiment was able to exchange fire with the devils in a relatively safe and fair environment.
The rest of the battalions had already been notified by Yang Chen, the regimental seat, to ambush on both sides of the street behind Xu Hailang and Wen Xiansheng.
Wait until the reconnaissance battalion and the fifth battalion have lured two or three thousand little devils over and entered their ambush circle.
Liu Zheping and Xu Ming ordered to open fire at the same time.
After a heavy firefight, everyone rushed out of the dilapidated houses on both sides of the street.
Launch a close-range strafing of these little devils who have entered the ambush circle, and use the firepower advantage of automatic weapons to kill the little devils almost helplessly.
Even the tanks and armored vehicles that were cooperating in the charge were beaten into a hornet's nest by Vulcan Gatling at close range.
At this time, Xu Hailang and Wen Xiansheng also led their troops to turn back and counterattack.
Under the attack from three sides, the little devil was suddenly beaten and suffered heavy losses, and after leaving thousands of corpses, he had to retreat back in panic.
Xu Hailang and Liu Zheping, in accordance with the orders of Yang Chen, just led the troops and symbolically pursued for a while.
Without driving the little devil out of the city completely, he stopped the pursuit and went on the defensive again.
In this way, when the battle was over, it was getting dark.
In the Zhoukou area, there was a rare calm.
It's just that the air is still filled with disgusting blood and gunsmoke.
Seeing that the Tiger Ben Regiment did not take advantage of the situation to continue the pursuit, the little devil also stopped retreating and turned to the defensive on the spot.
Confronted the Tiger Ben Regiment.
Half an hour later, the rare tranquility was broken again.
The city defense has been broken, and the two old devils, Fujita Jin and Yoshika Ryosuke, don't want to dream a lot at night.
Soon, more than 20 tanks and combat vehicles were mobilized to coordinate and cover the infantry to attack again.
The civil structure of the private house building is simply not enough to resist the tank guns of the little devils.
The infantry of the Tiger Regiment, under the bombardment of the little devil tanks, suffered heavy casualties.
The little devil took advantage of the situation and moved forward.
The blocking troops of the Tiger Ben Regiment were pressed towards the city little by little.
The situation was critical, and Lu Yuan and Ma Fei went to Yang Chen, the regiment, to ask for battle.
After getting the approval, he immediately pulled out the Tiger Heavy Tank hidden in the bunker.
Due to the air raids of the little devils, as well as heavy artillery bombardment, it was almost indiscriminate and untargeted bombing.
Therefore, although Yang Chen had been prepared, Ming Luyuan and Ma Fei hid the Tiger heavy tank under cover.
However, it was still affected by the bombing, and at this time only about 20 vehicles were relatively well preserved and could participate in the battle.
After a brief inspection, Lu Yuan and Ma Fei immediately led the tank group to launch a counter-charge against the little devils along the main streets.
And the two of them were in charge of a tank and combat vehicle themselves.
The group of tanks and combat vehicles roared in with a long exhaust gas, and soon entered the combat area.
At this time, night came, but the war spread, and many houses were set on fire, illuminating the small half of the city.
Lu Yuan personally operated and adjusted the tank gun to aim at the devil tank that was rumbling forward along the street at that time.
"Cannonballs!"
Ma Fei, as an ammunition man, decisively picked up a cannonball and handed it to Lu Yuan.
After Lu Yuan stuffed the cannonball into the chamber, he decisively pulled it.
"Tom!"
A red-hot cannonball burst out of its chamber, dragging a long tail flame, almost horizontally with the ground, and flew forward at high speed.
The next moment, the devil tank that was moving forward on the street was first shrouded in a dazzling red light.
"Boom! Rumble! ——”
Immediately afterward, two deafening explosions rang out one after another.
After the frontal armor of the Japanese thin-skinned tank was pierced by a high-explosive armor-piercing shell, the shell exploded in the cabin, causing a second detonation of the bullets in the tank compartment.
The entire tank was destroyed in an instant with a violent explosion.
Red flashes!
The armor around it was almost completely scattered, and even the barrels of the guns were blown off and rolled to the ground.
Several devil tank crews in the tank cabin were directly torn apart by the violent explosion and became pieces of minced meat.
The dozens of devil infantry who followed it and attacked were also affected, and all of them were instantly killed by the raging blast wave of explosion.
Almost at the same time, loud noises were heard from several other main streets.
"Forward!"
Lu Yuan directly ignored the recoil brought by the cannon, and after the cannon was fired, he decisively gave the order to the pilot to advance.
"Boom! ——”
A huge roar came from the tank motor again, like the roar of death, shaking the heart of the little devil opposite.
Before they could come back to their senses, Gatling, the god of fire, had already opened fire violently.
As the six barrels of the gun turned rapidly, a dense stream of bullets poured forward.
Knock the charging little devils to the ground in pieces.
However, more bullets hit the street floor and the broken walls of houses on both sides, splashing sparks one after another.
"it!"
Suddenly, the machine gunner sensed that something was wrong and decisively jumped into the tank compartment.
Almost at the same moment that the machine gun stopped roaring, an oncoming shell hit the frontal armor of the Tiger heavy tank with precision.
