Chapter 50: Tiger Invincible
Xu Wen smiled and waved his hand: "Tell Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou that my side is safe, let him be more careful, especially to guard against enemy air raids and artillery bombardment, this thing poses the greatest threat to the headquarters!" ”
"Yes!" The combat staff officer suddenly received the order, and immediately repeated Xu Wen's words to Zhou Weiguo on the other end of the phone.
Subsequently, Xu Wen, Chen Tianxiang and others spent 20 minutes in the wanton bombardment of the devil's artillery.
When the devil's shelling had just begun to extend, the phone of a regimental headquarters rang again, and this time it was Chen Tianxiang who happened to be closer to the phone, so he picked it up.
After listening to the two sentences, he immediately turned his head with a heavy face and reported to Xu Wen: "Brigade seat, the first battalion reports that the enemy has started a large-scale attack again, this time not only has a large number of troops, but also uses tank armored troops, at least twenty or thirty vehicles!" ”
Xu Wen was originally standing at the lookout post of the regiment headquarters, but because the forward position was covered by Japanese artillery fire, he couldn't see anything.
Hearing the news, Xu Wen sneered: "The little devil is going to be serious!" Pass my order, tank battalions, anti-aircraft battalions immediately rushed to support! Kill the Japanese tanks for me first! ”
"Yes!" Chen Tianxiang immediately hung up the phone of the battalion commander and turned to the brigade headquarters, and after receiving the order, Chen Zhenglun, who was sitting at the brigade headquarters, immediately ordered the tank battalion and air defense battalion hidden in various parts of the city to attack.
Li Wu and Fang Shengli were ordered to act and quickly assembled their troops and rushed towards the south of the city.
And Xu Wen returned the command of a regiment to Chen Tianxiang and asked him to lead his troops to resist the attack of the devils.
He turned around and ran out of the regimental headquarters, boarded the Tiger tank, and personally directed the tank to cross his own communication trenches and come to the forward position.
At this time, the gunpowder smoke on the forward position dissipated somewhat, and Xu Wen could clearly see in the tank car that thousands of Japanese infantry in front of the position were swarming towards his position under the cover of dozens of tanks and armored vehicles.
Among them, the four Type 95 tanks that rushed to the front had already taken the lead in firing their guns and launched a bombardment attack on the position of the first battalion.
At this time, the officers and men on the position of the first battalion were rushing out of their bunkers one after another, each entering a combat position, preparing to block the attack.
Seeing this scene, Xu Wenqi gritted his teeth and ordered the Tiger Tank: "Give me the tanks aimed at the little devils and kill them!" ”
The soldiers in the Tiger tank were happy to accept the order, adjust the muzzle angle as quickly as possible, lock on to the target, and open fire!
Rumble! With a loud bang, the body of the Tiger tank shook violently, and a high-explosive armor-piercing bullet came out of its chamber and headed towards one of the Japanese Type 95 tanks at a speed of several hundred meters per second.
Xu Wen watched as the shell fired by the Tiger tank swept over his forward position at high speed, and then accurately hit the Japanese tank at the front.
Under the bombardment of the Tiger tank's 88mm tank gun, the thin-skinned Type 95 was vulnerable to a blow, and was pierced through the front armor on the spot, and the armor-piercing projectile was fired directly into the tank to produce a violent tumbling rage, killing the five devil tank soldiers inside in an instant, and suddenly bursting.
The powerful explosion also pierced the shell compartment inside the Devil Tank, triggering an even more violent explosion.
I saw a violent explosion, and a very dazzling red light rose up and went straight to the sky!
The entire Type 95 tank disintegrated and fell apart in an instant in the explosion and fire.
In the violent explosion, the wreckage of the tank and the fragments of the shells flew in all directions irregularly, causing a large number of casualties to the crowd of devil infantry following the tank.
In an instant, there were dozens of Japanese infantry who fell, and it was okay to die directly, and some devils had their arms or legs cut off by shrapnel or tank wreckage fragments, and even more miserable people's entire bodies were cut off from the abdomen, and the bodies below the abdomen were gone, leaving only the upper body still screaming in horror, and the hands were squirming with blood, and the picture was a tragedy.
In this regard, Xu Wen ordered the Tiger tank to continue firing without any waves, and with the assistance of the TFZ 9B sight, the tank shells of the Tiger tank were not missing.
The thickness of the devil's tank's defensive armor can't stop the tiger's 88 tank shells at all, so Xu Wen's tiger-style devil-fighting tank is just a child.
Soon they killed the four Type 95 tanks in front one after another, and caused a lot of damage to the devil infantry who followed the tank charge and fought together.
The other tanks of the devil soon spotted the big guy who appeared in the defenders' position, and a Japanese commander immediately ordered the other tanks to gather fire and bombard the Tiger tank in an attempt to destroy it.
Because the tanks of the Japanese army at that time were not equipped with on-board radio systems like the Tiger and No. 4 tanks, they basically relied on shouting and ordering flags to convey orders.
So, when the other devil tanks received the order and began to adjust the muzzle angle to aim at Xu Wen's Tiger tank.
Xu Wen commanded the Tiger to kill two more Japanese armored vehicles in front of the protrusion, burst them on the spot, and killed many devil infantry who followed the charge, effectively supporting the defense of the first battalion.
Soon, more than a dozen Japanese Type 95 tanks, which were the first to lock on to the Tiger tank, opened fire one after another.
However, the result surprised the devil tank crews, in front of the Tiger tank's 100 mm forward defensive armor, only 37mm caliber Japanese tank guns fired armor-piercing shells, only left a slight dent on the Tiger tank's front armor.
Boom Boom! After withstanding the bombardment of more than a dozen armor-piercing shells of Japanese tanks one after another, Xu Wen's Tiger tank did not even shake the body.
It's just that the entire body was shrouded in gunsmoke and red light from the explosion of the shells, blocking the view.
Xu Wen immediately ordered the tank to move forward, drove out of the smoke area, and continued to target the Japanese tank and open fire.
"Yaga Tooth Road! How is this possible? The Japanese commander of the operation, Osa was taken aback, and when he saw that his tank was blown up by the opponent's cannon, he recovered from the shock and immediately ordered: "All tanks and armored combat vehicles, immediately retreat!" Withdraw from the fight! Hurry up and drop! ”
If it is not withdrawn, it will not work, and the 6th Division finally got these dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, and formed a tank wing that many army divisions and regiments dream of.
And the opponent's tank resisted the bombardment of more than a dozen shells from its own side head-on, unscathed, how can this battle be fought?
Therefore, in order to preserve the extremely precious tanks and armored vehicles, the Japanese tank commander decisively gave the order to retreat.
In fact, judging from the performance of the Tiger tank owned by Xu Wen, not to mention the Japanese army, which does not attach importance to the development of tanks, even if you look at the world, there is no more advanced tank combat vehicle than it.
Heads-up, group fights are invincible in the world!
As soon as the devil's tank and combat vehicles retreated, the defensive pressure of the first battalion was greatly reduced, and Chen Tianxiang took the opportunity to command the second battalion to come up with reinforcements, and the morale of the officers and men of the first regiment on the position was also greatly boosted and they opened fire one after another.
Xu Wen also commanded the Tiger tank to fire at the devil infantry who were still attacking in front of the position, and the auxiliary weapons of the Tiger tank, two vehicle-mounted MG34 general-purpose machine guns and three 90mm high-explosive grenade launchers, were fired at the devil frantically and bombarded.
