Chapter 106: Blowing Up the Tank

The soldiers were nervous, their eyes bloodshot from exhaustion, staring at the black shadows that swayed in the mist.

"Boom!!" The loud noise was getting closer and closer, and the huge shadow of the Japanese tank began to appear in the field of vision of the soldiers of the first battalion.

First came the black barrels, then the riveted armor plates of the tanks, like a monster with a hideous face, and rushed towards their positions with the roar of engines.

"Cluster grenade !!" The company commander Lin Jiang shouted, and hurriedly pulled a bundle of grenades to his side, as if it could guarantee the safety of his life.

At this time, more tanks began to appear in front of the soldiers of the first battalion, more than a dozen Type 89 medium tanks.

Behind these tanks, there was a large number of Japanese infantry, taking advantage of the cover of the tanks, to advance forward.

"Fire !!"

With the roar of Yang Ruifu, the commander of the first battalion, the entire Jing'an Street block began to roar at this time.

Light and heavy machine gun mortars, as well as medium and medium guns in the hands of the soldiers, began to fire bullets and shells, blocking the advancing Japanese troops.

"Boom!!"

A mortar shell landed next to the tank, blowing up a Japanese infantryman, but there was no way to inflict any damage on the rumbling Japanese tank.

In the smoke of the mortars, the Japanese tanks continued to rumble forward without any hindrance.

The tank's tracks tumbled, crushing the bricks on the ground into powder.

Light and heavy machine gun bullets were fired at the bodies of these steel behemoths, causing no damage to them at all.

All bullets are directly bounced off the armor plate, and the more powerful bullets can also leave a depression in the armor plate.

Rifle bullets, on the other hand, are less powerful and leave a trail of sparks on impact, but they are unable to inflict any kind of damage on their armor.

The Japanese infantry, who were hiding behind the tanks and advancing forward, did not have to alternate cover, and advanced while dodging the bullets in front of them.

With the tanks in front of them helping them block the bullets, the Japanese advance was like a fish in water, and without encountering too many obstacles, they kept moving forward.

"Blow up the tank!!" Lin Jiang roared.

When an infantry squad in the trench heard this, it immediately jumped out and, under the cover of light and heavy machine guns in the rear, began to rush towards one of the Japanese tanks.

The Japanese army, which was originally just a advancing tank, began to roar at this time.

The heavy machine guns and tank guns on the turret roared at the same time, and a string of bullets erupted, like a fire whip, and struck the battalion of soldiers who rushed over to blast.

"Toot Toot Toot !!!"

The roar of the heavy machine gun, with a string of bullets, hit the charging infantry directly. The soldiers of the first battalion at the front were pierced by bullets in the blink of an eye, and fell to the ground with a pop.

The soldiers behind him continued to rush forward until the bullets from the heavy machine guns came again and knocked him down.

They used people as meat shields to fend off Japanese heavy machine gun bullets in exchange for the rear Demoman armed with a cluster grenade approaching the Japanese tank.

However, the Japanese infantry behind the tank poked out their guns at this time and fired continuously at the soldiers of a battalion charging over to blast the tank.

One by one, the soldiers fell, blood splashing in the smoke-filled air. Ten lives in a squad were only exchanged for a charging distance of less than thirty meters.

At this time, they were still more than twenty meters away from the Japanese tanks, and there was no longer a single comrade standing in front of the demoman at the back.

The comrades-in-arms who were covering him had already fallen behind him at this time. Ten lives in exchange for such a distance for them.

"Ah!!h The soldiers of the first battalion roared angrily, and threw the cluster grenades in their hands directly at the Japanese soldiers.

Just the moment he threw it, a bullet fired by the Japanese infantry hit him directly on the head.

Bullets pierced his helmet and flew out of the back of his head. The soldier didn't use his last bit of strength.

The cluster grenade flew forward more than ten meters and exploded five or six meters away from the Japanese tank.

"Boom !!"

A loud explosion was heard, and the shock wave spread in all directions, carrying smoke and broken shrapnel and bricks, flying in all directions.

Smoke and gunpowder smoke filled the air, like a thick fog, blocking Lin Jiang's vision.

Fang Shaolong looked at the tumbling smoke and dust, and said in his heart that this time the little devil's tank should have been blown up.

But at this time, the figure of the Japanese tank broke through the smoke and appeared in front of them.

Because the cluster grenade exploded at a distance of five or six meters, although its fragments could cause damage to infantry and other personnel, it could not penetrate the armor of Japanese tanks.

"Toot toot!!"

The heavy machine gun on top of the turret roared again. The dense jet stream of bullets hit Lin Jiang on the edge of their crater.

Because a soldier didn't have time to hide, half of his head was directly knocked off by a bullet, his brain flowed out, and his body was paralyzed in the crater.

"Continue to !!" Lin Jiang yelled.

He knew that if the tank of the little devil in front of him was not eliminated, then when this tank advanced to their position, their position would fall.

Fang Shaolong, the deputy company commander, slammed his hat on the ground, picked up the cluster grenade, and jumped out of the crater with several soldiers, rushing towards the tank from the side.

Among the Japanese tanks, the commander looked through the observation window and looked ahead.

"There is enemy infantry on the left, the turret is turned!!" The captain yelled.

The turret of the Japanese tank immediately began to turn at this time, and the muzzle of the machine gun was directly aimed at Fang Shaolong and them.

"Fire !!"

"Toot Toot !!" The heavy machine guns on top of the Japanese tank roared, and a bullet was fired at Fang Shaolong and the infantry in front of him.

"Puff !!"

With the muffled sound of bullets shooting into his body, a battalion of soldiers in front of Fang Shaolong fell down like mowing grass.

"Watch out for tumbling !!" Company commander Lin Jiang yelled in the back.

The Japanese infantry poked their heads out from behind the tanks and began to shoot at the infantry who wanted to blast the tanks.

At this time, on the right flank of the Japanese tanks, some soldiers of the first battalion rolled out of the trench and rushed towards the Japanese tanks.
