Chapter 51: Repulsion Again
The barrel of any tank has a service life, and the Tiger tank is no exception, so the army of the general country uses tanks, and the tank guns are mainly used against enemy armored targets or fortifications.
When dealing with infantry, if the situation is not critical, it will rarely use tank artillery bombardment directly, and most of them rely on the auxiliary weapons of Tiger tanks to kill the enemy.
But Xu Wen is different, he has a system, as long as he kills enough devils, the Tiger tank is an inexhaustible weapon and equipment for him.
It's no different from a normal rifle, so after repelling the Devil Tank Tank Wing, this guy not only ordered the secondary weapons on the tank to fire at all.
He also directed the tank gun to aim at the devil crowd and fire wildly, with three 90mm high-explosive grenade launchers behind the 88mm gun and the tank car, as well as two MG34 general-purpose machine guns on the car, firing wildly.
In an instant, a large number of shells and bullets rained down on the attacking crowd of the 23rd Devil Wing.
Boom Boom Boom! The violent explosion blew up the devil to cry dad and call mother, and people turned on their backs!
At the same time, on the offensive position of the Japanese army, Tani Shofu, accompanied by Chief of Staff Takushio and others, was holding a telescope to observe the battle situation.
Not long after seeing that his tank troops had just gone up, they were attacked head-on by the opponent's tanks, not to mention the heavy losses, and were directly forced to withdraw from the battle.
Gu Shoufu couldn't help but burst into anger like thunder, and roared with a heavy face: "Eight Geyalu, order the artillery unit to open fire immediately, and kill that branch tank for me!" ”
"General, please stop your anger, now the 23rd Wing is attacking, and thousands of people have rushed to the front of the position of the Chinese army, and they are about to be strangled with the enemy.
At this time, if you let the artillery wing open fire, it is very likely that you will accidentally injure your own people! ”
Gu Shoufu roared angrily: "Then shoot me too!" If a tank wing of the Japanese Empire was repulsed by a tank of the Chinese Army, if this kind of shame spreads, how will our 6th Division have face? ”
"Fire!" Gu Shoufu roared very angrily.
Takushi was helpless, so he had to turn around and order the artillery wing to open fire.
Soon, more than 50 field guns and howitzers of the 6th Field Artillery Wing, which received the order, roared again.
Viciously hitting a wave of artillery shells at the forward position of the Independent Brigade, Xu Wen did not expect that the devil would open artillery bombardment again at this time.
At that time, he was commanding the Tiger tank to frantically harvest the devil's head, and when he was caught off guard, including his Tiger tank, the entire forward position of the first battalion was covered by the devil's artillery fire.
Boom Boom Boom! A series of violent explosions suddenly resounded over a forward position.
Xu Wen's Tiger tank was hit several times by devil shells, but fortunately it was not directly hit on the roof, otherwise it would have been bad.
Even if it will not be penetrated, it is inevitable that the on-board machine gun and high-explosive grenade launcher on the car will be damaged.
Xu Wen immediately ordered the soldiers who drove the tank to retreat, and just as they were retreating, the voices of Li Wu and Fang Shengli suddenly came from the on-board radio: "Brigade seat, we are here!" ”
Xu Wen immediately ordered: "The devil is mad and is indiscriminately bombarding our army's position, don't go deeper, just fire artillery shells outside the city to my forward position, and use artillery shells to support a battalion to repel the enemy's attack!" ”
"Yes!" After receiving Xu Wen's order, Li Wu and Fang Shengli, who had already left the city from the south gate, immediately led the tank armored vehicles of the tank battalion and the air defense battalion, and the air defense Humvee military vehicle to stop.
Fifteen No. 4 tanks of the tank battalion were placed at the front, lined up in an open field outside the south gate to the forward position, which was not covered by the devil's artillery fire.
Then, through the on-board radio system, Li Wu commanded 15 No. 4 tanks to raise the firing angle of the tank guns one after another, quickly aimed at the approximate range of 200 meters outside his forward position, and then opened fire at the same time.
The other fifteen half-track armored vehicles of the tank battalion and the thirty Humvee military vehicles of the air defense battalion led by Fang Shengli were on standby around the tanks, and all their guns were in the air to prevent enemy air attacks.
Fifteen high-explosive grenades of 75 mm caliber flew whistling past their forward positions that were being bombarded by Japanese artillery with the sound of whirring through the air, and smashed down in front of the positions through the thick smoke.
Whoosh whoosh ...... Boom Boom! The devils of the 23rd Infantry Wing, which was attacking outside the forward position, were suddenly attacked.
As the shells exploded violently one after another, the Japanese troops who were in the charge were blown away one after another.
A devil second lieutenant and his subordinates, under the cover of heavy artillery fire from their own artillery, were about to rush into the position of the first regiment of the independent brigade.
was hit by a high-explosive grenade falling from the sky, and exploded violently, and the second lieutenant and a dozen devil soldiers who followed him couldn't dodge and were blown to the ground on the spot.
The rate of fire of tank guns was much faster than that of ordinary infantry guns, and not long after the first wave of shells fell and exploded, the second wave of bombardment followed.
Under the fierce bombardment of several salvos of the tank battalion of the Independent Brigade, the ferocious offensive of the Japanese 23rd Wing was forcefully contained.
At this time, Xu Wen also commanded the Tiger tank, withdrew from the area covered by the devil's artillery fire, and began to order the Tiger tank to continue to fire artillery bombardment in front of the position.
Under the heavy fire of the infantry and tanks of the independent brigade, the casualties became more and more heavy, and in desperation, the commander of the wing, Okamoto Zhenchen Osa, could only order a retreat and terminate the attack.
Seeing that the 23rd Wing had retreated, Gu Shoufu roared very angrily: "Baga Yalu, who made them retreat?" What does Okamoto Yamato's retainer Osa eat? How is it directed? ”
The commander of the 36th Brigade Standing behind Gu Shoufu, Ushijima, said with a heavy face: "General, you have also seen that the artillery fire of the Chinese Army is also very fierce, and the 23rd Wing has lost its spirit, and continuing to attack will not do anything but increase casualties."
Okamoto-kun can only order a retreat and fight again with the whole army! ”
Tian Jiu Lixiong hurriedly echoed: "Yes, division commander, what Major General Ushijima said is reasonable, the firepower of the Chinese army is very fierce, and there are such powerful tanks and combat vehicles, this battle must not be rushed, you need to think in the long run." ”
Gu Shoufu glared at the two of them indifferently, snorted coldly and turned around and walked towards the headquarters.
Takushi and Ushijima looked at each other helplessly, so they had to leave.
The infantry attack stopped, and the Japanese artillery, which had been shelling indiscriminately, also stopped the attack one after another.
The two sides entered a brief armistice, Xu Wen jumped from the Tiger tank, came to the position of the first battalion, and found the corpses of the sacrificed soldiers, as well as the severed limbs and arms that had been blown up, and the remains of weapons.
Chen Tianxiang, the commander of the first regiment, greeted him unkemptly, and when the battle was at its most fierce just now, he personally led the second battalion to join the first-line trenches and fought bloody battles with the devils, so he desperately held the position.
Of course, the devil was finally repulsed, but it was the fire of the tank battalion that made a great contribution to the killing and deterrence.
Seeing Xu Wen, Chen Tianxiang saluted him with a heavy expression and said: "Luzao, it's really too dangerous here, you better go back to the city, you must desperately hold your position!" People are in the position! ”
