Chapter 86: Annihilation
Hirokawa Hirano, a squadron leader of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Army, was at the forefront of the marching column at the head of the army's marching column, towed by military trucks along the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway.
Hirano happened to be sitting in the co-pilot of the first military truck, because they were all awakened from their sleep in the middle of the night and sent out urgently.
Therefore, at this moment, Hirano Hirokawa was very tired and was sitting in the co-pilot with his eyes closed and resting.
At that time, China's roads were not in good condition, and the trucks were bumpy to varying degrees, so Hirano Hirokawa couldn't really sleep in the car.
In a daze, Hirano Hirokawa suddenly heard a loud noise, and Hirano Hirokawa, who was born as an artilleryman, noticed the abnormality for the first time, and immediately opened his eyes in vain.
I saw a very dazzling ball of fire, speeding towards their military truck.
Instinct tells Hirano that this is definitely a cannonball! And the speed was so fast that he didn't have time to dodge, so Hirano Hirokawa let out a desperate cry: "Ga! Enemy attack! ”
Before the sound fell, the high-explosive armor-piercing bullet wrapped in the flames roared.
The shell hit the front of the military truck directly, and it exploded violently!
The violent explosion destroyed the entire truck on the spot, and the front of the truck instantly disintegrated in the firelight, and the debris flew wildly with the blast wave of the explosion.
Hirokawa Hirano and one of the drivers inside were also blown to pieces in the explosion, and the explosion also affected a large number of shells in the back compartment, triggering an even more violent explosion.
Boom Boom! The larger flames flew like brilliant fireworks, raging and soaring into the sky.
The 150mm heavy gun towed behind was also deformed by the violent shock wave and scrapped on the spot.
This first shell was naturally fired by Xu Wen's Tiger tank, and with the help of the system's prompts, Xu Wen fired before it was discovered by the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, and a shell killed his head car.
Moreover, this shell was personally manipulated by Xu Wen, so after the explosion sounded, the system's prompt also sounded: "Ding Dong, the host killed a Japanese lieutenant and a private, and exploded ten boxes of anti-infantry mines and one TNT explosive pack." ”
Xu Wen didn't care about these explosive trophies, and directed all tanks and armored vehicles to fire together through the radio.
Behind the Tiger tank, there were more than a dozen No. 4 tanks, as well as more than 50 armored vehicles, and the anti-aircraft combat vehicles quickly spread out from its two wings.
Tank guns took the lead in bombarding, and vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns followed suit and opened fire one after another, pouring a large amount of steel bullets into the convoy of the devil's heavy artillery brigade in front.
Suddenly, guns and cannons rang out, explosions continued, and Japanese trucks were hit by shells, which suddenly exploded and caught fire, and were destroyed one after another.
On some of the trucks that had not yet been hit, many devil artillery men fled in panic, trying to flee to both sides of the road.
However, they were beaten by the crossfire network composed of anti-aircraft machine guns and general-purpose machine guns on the armored vehicles of the independent brigade and the Humvee military vehicles, which had already moved quickly, and they fell down with screams.
Under the command of Xu Wen, more than 50 armored vehicles and Humvee military vehicles quickly outflanked the two flanks of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade from both sides of the road, blocking the way for the devil artillery to escape.
Xu Wen himself commanded the Tiger tank and more than a dozen other No. 4 tanks to continue to attack forward, constantly firing artillery bombardment into the depth of the devil's convoy.
Under their heavy fire, the devil's trucks and heavy artillery were completely vulnerable, and they were destroyed one after another.
In fact, at this time, the independent 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade was like a crispy skin that was approached in the glory of the king, and it had no power to fight back.
And the worst thing is that he was approached by a group of perverts who are also meat assassins.
Just when Xu Wen commanded the troops, he almost destroyed and defeated the front of the devil.
Chen Zhenglun and Zhou Weiguo finally led the other two troops to outflank the middle and rear of the Devil's Army.
Each led more than 30 tanks, armored vehicles, and air defense combat vehicles, one on the left and one on the right, and launched an assault at the same time!
The commander of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, Major General Konoe Sanyo, was in the middle and rear of the marching column, and he was just figuring out what was going on in front of him.
While arranging signal corps to send telegrams to Hangzhou, Shanghai, and the 114th Division for help, he commanded a garrison assigned to their brigade to meet the enemy.
But thousands of Imperial Guards had just jumped out of the truck, and they hadn't had time to rush over.
On both sides of the road, a large number of bullets suddenly poured out, as well as a terrifying tank shell.
Caught off guard, the devil guards who were rushing forward were hit and fell down in pieces, and the tank shells blew up their cars, killed people, and killed them.
Almost the entire marching column was covered by the fire of the opposing side, constantly exploding and blazing.
Seeing this, a devil staff officer beside Sanyang said in horror: "General, the firepower of the Chinese army is strong, we can't resist it!" This is the case, please retreat quickly! ”
Hearing this, Konoe Shanyang was furious, turned his head and scolded angrily: "Ga! The heavy artillery brigade is an imperial strategic force, do you know how much financial and material resources it takes to form such a heavy artillery unit? ”
"However, the enemy army attacking us has so many tanks and armored fighting vehicles, and the firepower is so strong, we can't resist it at all!" The devil staff officer said with a panicked and anxious face.
Before the words fell, a cold light suddenly flashed, and I saw Konoe Shanyang holding the general's sword up and down, and the staff officer's head fell to the ground.
"There are those who quit! No mercy! Guard Shanyang shouted angrily, but before he could speak, a high-explosive grenade flew in a whistle, directly blowing him and several guards around him upside down.
Because the shells came too quickly and suddenly, the guards of Sanyo didn't have time to react at all, and naturally they couldn't rescue them.
Konoe Sanyo died under tank fire from the Independent Brigade, and the entire 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade fell into a group of dragons without a leader, and there was panic and confusion.
Under the three-sided attack of the independent brigade, the devil artillery was either killed or killed by a dense rain of vehicle-mounted machine gun bullets.
In the confusion, there were also devil artillerymen who wanted to escape or stop resistance, but in the face of the powerful firepower network formed by the tanks and armored vehicles of the independent brigade, any resistance was futile.
And as the soldiers of the reserve regiment jumped off the armored vehicles and anti-aircraft combat vehicles one after another, and quickly launched an outflanking attack, the devil artillery did not even have a chance to escape, and was shot and killed indiscriminately.
It was a one-sided slaughter-style assault battle, in which tens of thousands of Japanese artillery were crushed by an independent brigade of less than 2,000 men, with its absolute superiority in equipment and firepower, as well as tactical superiority.
