Chapter 383: Crossing the Bridge
In the face of the Japanese tank squadron rushing like a desperate rush, the tankers of the forward company were not in a hurry, after finding that the Japanese tank guns could not penetrate their own armor, they became more and more calm, under the order of the company commander, not only did they not advance, but began to retreat to widen the distance with the Japanese army, and continued to fire after loading the shells.
"Release the smoke...... We must not allow the people of China to hit our chariot so easily! ”
Seeing his own chariots being shot one after another and catching fire, the commander of the 92nd Brigade, Major General Yuma Shinohara, was also stunned, he didn't expect that the chariot troops he had given high hopes for would be so vulnerable, and it was just a cannon from the other side, and what was even more embarrassing was that the shells he shot out could only leave a black mark on the opponent's armor, and the faces of the chariot troops of the Great Japanese Empire were all lost by him.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, have we ordered the troops to continue to attack with the chariots?" The captain of the 213th wing, Ma Fukuda, ran to him panting and asked.
"No need!" Shinohara Yuma said with a gloomy face: "Order the troops to retreat quickly, hurry up and cross the bridge, Machida Youya, this idiot has not even broken the skin of the chariot for so long, and they have no other way to go today except for all the jade shatters." Now you immediately organize the troops to retreat, remember to be fast, otherwise it will be too late! ”
"Hay!"
Fukuda Aso replied loudly, after all, he had followed Yuma Shinohara for so long, and he naturally knew who his boss was, if he picked up and fled, it is estimated that there is no one in the entire Japanese Army who is more proficient in this technique than him, except for the unit that claims to be not afraid of defeat.
Under the command of Yuma Shinohara, the Japanese soldiers who had been charging with the chariot in a honeycomb soon slowed down the pace of the charge. Then he stopped his advance and slowly retreated to the rear.
By the time Shinohara Yuma retreated to the iron bridge, more than a dozen tanks of the chariot squadron had turned into torches burning on the side of the road.
"Aha...... Brothers, pack up the chariot of the little devils. Now it's the turn of the 92nd Brigade of the Miscellaneous Regiment, rush up and kill them! ”
As the company commander's order came from the radio, more than a dozen No. 4 tanks, along with No. 2 tanks, began to speed up and rush forward.
At this time, nearly half of the soldiers of the 92nd Brigade had crossed the river through the iron bridge, and the remaining nearly 2,000 people were still blocking the river and waiting to get on the bridge.
"Quick...... Fast...... Hurry up! ”
"Yaga, what are you inking, don't hurry up!"
The bridge was filled with the sound of soldiers scolding. Fukuda Aso Osa was sweating profusely by the river, and the tanks of the Huaxia people behind were getting closer and closer, but nearly half of them had not crossed the river.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Just when the Japanese army was in disarray. There was a dense sound of cannons in front, and it turned out that the tanks of the forward company were coming, starting with three No. 2 tanks in a zigzag shape, and the 20mm cannons on the turret kept roaring. The juxtaposition machine guns on the turret were roaring incessantly. The raindrop of metal bullets poured down in the dense crowd of Japanese soldiers.
"Spread out...... Disperse ......" Fukuda Aso shouted desperately.
But before he could finish shouting, a few meters away from him, a senior soldier who was running towards his river was hit by a barrage of machine-gun bullets, one of which hit his waist and hips, and his fragile body immediately became cut in two, and when his upper body was dropped, another machine-gun bullet hit him in the chest. The upper body was instantly torn apart by sharp shrapnel, and the blood sprayed like a spray. Dozens of pieces of bright red lungs or hearts spread out in front of them.
Before the senior soldier could even scream, his body was completely torn to shreds. Some of the frightened recruits were screaming in horror and running on the side of the road, and they were knocked to the ground by machine guns before they could run a few steps, and when the 20mm machine guns fired, several dust and mud pillars up to nearly one or two meters high would explode on the ground.
But the nightmare was not over, just as the soldiers were scrambling to flee for their lives, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and soon the smoke rising from the dense explosion almost completely submerged the Japanese troops on the river bank, and it was the M7 Priest self-propelled guns behind that arrived, and they were shelling the Japanese troops on the river under the guidance of observers.
Countless Japanese soldiers were running by the river, and these recruits who had just been replenished to the 92nd Brigade from China were experiencing this kind of fierce artillery fire for the first time in their lives, and the new recruits were afraid of artillery and veterans were afraid of machine guns.
"Forward Company, rush over...... Destroy them! Dong Hongyun in the No. 056 tank urged the driver to speed up and rush up, and he was also anxious when he saw more and more Japanese troops crossing the bridge, this iron bridge was very important to them, if it was blown up by the Japanese army, then they could only watch the Japanese troops of the 92nd Brigade who had crossed the river escape like this.
"Dada...... Dada......"
More than a dozen No. 2 and No. 4 tanks did not rush past the Japanese troops after approaching them, but strafed back and forth at a distance of more than 100 meters from them. At this time, the riverside was already covered with corpses, and the surface of the river had been stained red with blood, and under the strafing and bombardment of more than a dozen tanks, dozens of machine guns, machine guns, and self-propelled guns, more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers who did not have time to cross the river were almost killed and wounded.
"Stop shooting...... Stop shooting ......"
The voice of the company commander resounded on the radio, and when the gunfire stopped, Dong Hongyun and the others all looked at the tragic situation by the river in a daze.
At some point, Wei Junneng poked his head out of the cab, looked at the river full of corpses outside, grew his mouth in surprise and muttered; "My good ...... Did we kill all these devils? ”
"Yes...... Possibly! Dong Hongyun also stammered a little.
In fact, not only them, but also the tankmen who saw this scene were all stunned, such a bloody scene was the first time they had seen it, and many people were excited and then followed by a convulsive feeling in their stomachs, and many people vomited on the spot.
"Alright...... Don't be stunned, hurry up and cross the bridge to continue the pursuit! ”
"Cross the bridge!"
The voice of the company commander continued to be heard on the radio, but as soon as his words fell, a loud bang came from the bridge deck, and a huge smoke rose from the bridge deck. After the explosion, the iron bridge, which spanned tens of meters long, made a gurgling sound, and then collapsed with a bang...... (To be continued.) )
