Chapter 315: The Battle Is Fierce
"Chariot...... It's the chariot of the Chinese people......"
As soon as the chariot commando team led by Adele appeared, Hirata Wakano, who was directing the troops to attack, immediately froze, and for more than a day, none of the chariot troops dared to appear, and Hirata Wakano had almost forgotten about this force. It's not that he is forgetful, but he subconsciously thinks that as long as the planes of the Great Japanese Empire are still circling in the sky, the chariots of the Chinese people will never dare to show their heads, after all, no matter how fierce the hungry wolf is, it is not the opponent of the eagle in the sky.
But there are some things in this world that cannot be measured by common sense, and these chariots that should not have appeared have appeared, and they have appeared in a very unreasonable posture.
Tank No. 2 and the Bobcat reconnaissance tank appeared on the battlefield, rushing towards the Japanese at high speed, and along with them, there were also whirlwind self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and Dongfeng self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that flashed with cold light.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a loud sound in the dullness, and 20 mm shells fell like hail into the Japanese attack formation, the shells tore apart the fragile body of a Japanese soldier with whistling air and scorching flames, and the violent explosion enveloped the more than 200 Japanese soldiers attacking in the first row.
The Japanese troops, who had been violently attacking the position of the 2nd Regiment, fell to the ground as if they had cut wheat, and their broken corpses splashed everywhere in the air of the explosion.
"Lying down...... Lie down! Hirata Wakano, who was stunned from behind, hissed and shouted as hard as he could, but it was all in vain, and the only thing the Japanese could do in the face of the chariots that were rushing towards them was to lie down and dodge, and the only thing the Japanese could do was to keep shooting at these chariots with their guns.
One bullet after another hit the armor of the combat vehicle and served no purpose other than to make a clanging sound. The chariots still roared and rained down deadly bullets at them.
At this time, the Japanese planes that were originally hovering in the sky only understood what had happened after such a short period of shock, and what followed was endless irritation, and soon the noses of the three Type 98 light explosive planes swooped down towards the armored group on the ground. When they swooped to a distance of four or five hundred meters above the group of tanks, the fuselage shook slightly. Three 50-kilogram aerial bombs left the wings and fell to the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Three violent explosions sounded in a row, several thick puffs of black smoke rose from the ground, and a No. 2 tank that was telling the advance was swept away by the violent shock wave, and the whole tank emitted black smoke and lay on the ground, and the members inside did not know whether they were dead or alive.
After seeing that they had hit the target, the three Type 98 light explosive planes seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and circled for half a circle, and then pulled the nose of the plane high, intending to climb towards the air, but it was in this short period of time that several self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that were originally charging next to those tanks suddenly opened fire. Blazing flames soared into the sky with the flames of vengeance.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The four-mounted 20-millimeter rapid-fire guns equipped with the Whirlwind self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were designed to deal with such low-flying targets, and under the pursuit of tongues of fire, the two Type 98 light explosive planes flying at the end were hit by armor-piercing incendiary bombs. The two planes instantly burst into flames, and the thick black smoke immediately enveloped them, and in a terrible whimper, the two fighters were unwilling to plant themselves on the ground, and in less than twenty seconds, they hit the ground and made a violent explosion.
Nani ...... These people are ...... Actually let the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns follow the tank? ”
The scene of the explosion of the two fighters stunned everyone on the battlefield, especially the commander of the Japanese formation in the sky, who almost didn't breathe. The whole person was stunned. For him, the tactics of self-propelled guns following a group of tanks had never been seen before. This battle can still be fought like this.
Surprise was followed by endless anger, just as the eagle hovering high in the sky found that there were animals on the ground that were provoking him, and after being filled with anger by the loss of the two bombers, the commander of the Japanese aircraft formation gave the order for a full-scale bombing.
The sky was filled with the roar and explosion of the fighter engine, and the remaining eight Type 98 light blasters rushed down towards the armored group that suddenly appeared, and even the six Nakajima fighters that were originally serving as escorts also let out a terrible whistling sound and pounced, and for a time the entire position was filled with fire and explosions.
"Air defense battalion...... Immediately block the bombing lanes of the Japanese planes, and be sure to protect our tank groups! The tank group is at my command. Split into two and march towards the two flanks of the Japanese, and be sure to knock out their offensive! Adele, who was sitting in a tank No. 2, opened the lid of the tank's turret, revealing half of his head, and while observing the Japanese aircraft in the sky, he kept giving orders on the radio.
In fact, when the battle came to this, both the generals and the soldiers understood that there was no way out for both sides. Once the offensive of the 45th Wing is defeated, it means that the Japanese army will no longer have the strength to break through, and once the attack of the armored regiment fails, then it will also mean that the sacrifices made by the 2nd Regiment in the past two days will be in vain.
Both sides were all red-eyed, and at this time, Wu Yonglin also received an order from the regiment commander Ding Dahai.
"Battalion Commander Wu, now I order the whole regiment to follow behind the armored group and kill it...... Kill them all! ”
Wu Yonglin threw the microphone to the signal soldier and shouted, "Understood...... Brothers, now listen to my orders, rush! ”
"Kill......"
When the remaining more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Second Supplementary Regiment jumped out of the trenches and launched a counter-charge towards the Japanese army, Ushijima, who was standing in the distance watching the battle, had turned blue with iron, and his originally calm hands had become a little trembling, and he knew that he was probably in danger of escaping this time. Thinking of this, he looked up at the Japanese aircraft formation that was hovering in mid-air and bombing and strafing the ground, and the resentment in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
"Yaga...... It's all a bunch of waste, there are so many fighters in the sky, but there are only a few dozen combat vehicles, these wastes are really damned! ”
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, is not good...... The 23rd Wing in the back is almost overwhelmed, and Captain Tsumura let me tell you that their casualties have reached two-thirds, and if the passage here is not opened again, he will have to break the jade to report to His Majesty the Emperor! ”
Hearing this, Ushijima closed his eyes in pain, and said in a faint mosquito voice: "The 36th Brigade is finished......
Ushijima is right, the 36th Brigade has now reached the end of the strong crossbow, the two main wings have suffered more than half of the casualties after these days of attrition, and the 23rd Wing, as a blocking force, has already been at the end of the strong crossbow, in the face of the joint attack of two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment of the supplementary brigade behind, it is very rare for them to hold out until now, and the 45th Wing, as an assault force, is now attacked by armored forces, and they are unable to break through with heavy casualties, and the remaining artillery wings have already run out of shells, Now you can only hold a rifle with the infantry for the last resistance.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Dozens of Whirlwind self-propelled guns and Dongfeng self-propelled guns poured flames into the sky while slowly advancing, and the dense barrage firmly locked the bombing channel of the Japanese planes, although there were still tanks that were blown up and injured by bombs falling from the sky, but the Japanese aircraft formations were not completely without paying the price, and the fighters dragging the smoke and falling towards the ground all proved to people how fierce the firepower of the ground counterattack was.
The armored troops, which were the main force of the attack, were at the forefront, and the No. 2 tank and the Bobcat reconnaissance tank were like two sharp swords in the rugged wilderness and plunged straight into the heart of the 45th Wing of the Japanese army.
"Resist...... Resist me, you must not retreat, stand up and prepare to step forward! ”
Behind a rock, Hirata Wakano wielded a command knife to drive the retreating soldiers back up to resist, and personally organized more than a dozen groups of soldiers, all of whom carried explosive packs, and their mission was to die with the chariots rushing towards them.
"Da Da Da ......"
A Bobcat reconnaissance tank was strafing the front with a coaxial machine gun as it headed for the Japanese position, and next to it two No. 2 tanks were providing cover on the flanks.
At this time, two Japanese soldiers carrying explosive bags on their backs were crawling on the ground and quietly waiting for the arrival of the three tanks, and when the Bobcat reconnaissance tank led by them drove less than 30 meters away from them, the two soldiers suddenly rushed out of their hiding place and rushed towards the tank.
"There's a devil over there...... Hurry up! ”
"Sneer...... Sneer......"
The dense rain of bullets immediately tore one of the Japanese soldiers to shreds and detonated the explosives package on his body, and because the two Japanese soldiers were so close, the huge shock wave enveloped his companions who were less than ten meters away, and the Bobcat reconnaissance tank emerged from the smoke unscathed.
"Yaga...... Go up one more set! Hirata Wakano gritted his teeth and ordered a group of Japanese soldiers to go up, and two Japanese soldiers jumped out of hiding again, but these two Japanese soldiers were even more unlucky, they ran dozens of meters before they could hide before they were discovered by a No. 2 tank, dense bullets swept like raindrops, and the two quickly fell in a pool of blood.
"Two more groups of people!" Hirata Wakano was almost mad, howling and sending two more teams forward.
"Beware of concealment...... Bypass from both sides, stupid...... Bend down! ”
Hirata Wakano commanded loudly, shouting as he leaned out from the cover.
"Sneer......"
Suddenly, a shuttle of bullets came from not far away and hit Hirata Wakano's chest, it turned out that a Bobcat reconnaissance tank had already planned to come here, and saw that someone was showing his body behind the rock, and the commander, who was also a machine gunner, aimed there and it was a shuttle of bullets, which happened to hit Hirata Wakano.
The co-captain only felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground with a pop...... (To be continued.) )
