1161. Why are soldiers afraid of death if they are not afraid of death?
At this moment, the inside of the Japanese tank exploded, and the bullets of the Miner II quadruple machine gun entered the inside of the tank through the steel plate, and there was a refraction and a random ricochet.
These bullets with huge kinetic energy, at a speed invisible to the naked eye, ricocheted inside the tank, like artillery shell fragments, shooting irregularly in all directions.
The first tank soldier inside was the driver, who was swept in the thigh by a bullet on the spot, and blood sprayed like an infusion.
Then the gunner, and even the commander who was observing, were injured, and in this case, even if the two tanks were able to move, the people inside were injured, and they were abandoned in front of the position.
So, the two tanks stopped in front of the position with their heads cocked and their bellies exposed, and the heavy machine gun shooters of the Ninth Company did not know the situation inside the tanks, and continued to shoot at the battered belly.
When a large number of bullets entered the tank compartment, these wounded tank soldiers could no longer escape the judgment of fate, and they were either hit by bullets and died, or they did not have time to climb out, bleeding and dying of shock.
The Japanese infantry behind the tank did not dare to climb onto the tank hatch and drag out the wounded soldiers inside.
Just kidding, this is the most dangerous position in front of the position, the guns and bullets of the Chinese soldiers can be hit at any time, and as long as they dare to make a head, the steel helmet may be pierced.
At a distance of less than 300 meters, the heavy pointed bullets of heavy machine guns can still be easily penetrated even if a piece of steel is added to the front of the Japanese steel helmet.
Even the steel plate of the tank can be pierced, not to mention the thin steel plate of the steel helmet, even if it is not penetrated, such a big impact force can also break and tear the back of the neck, that is, the cervical vertebrae, and the death is even worse.
That is, the strange idea of the Japanese tank soldiers, why do you still drive up with a big grin in a mountain position, you really think that you can occupy the position if you can climb a gentle slope.
I thought that the Chinese army really didn't have the weapons to get the tank, and in the end, there were many human bombs, and a tank, without other escort and containment, dared to rush up with a group of infantry who were still protected by tanks.
It cannot be said that this tank soldier is unprofessional, it can only be said that the Japanese army is too arrogant, relying on the most advanced weapons of this era, thinking that it can override the heads of mankind.
What's more, this human being is still a Chinese soldier who dares to sacrifice himself in order to protect his family and defend the country.
The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? Soldiers are not afraid of death, dare to fear death?
Now after three of the four Japanese tanks were damaged, the remaining one did not dare to repeat the road of tanks at the foot of the mountain, so they could only walk back and forth in front of the position from a distance, using the 37 tank guns to bombard the machine gun fire points of the Chinese army on the Qiangong Ridge.
However, after the heavy machine guns of the 9th Company hit the Japanese tanks, they originally wanted to stay on the position to block the Japanese skirmish line under the hillside, but later the situation changed, and they had to withdraw from the position and hide.
Because the last tank of the Japanese army saw that its companions were at a loss, they immediately retreated out of the range of heavy machine guns and used tank guns to hit machine gun fire points.
In this case, the machine guns of the Chinese army will not be able to hit the tanks, and the 37 guns of the tanks will be able to hit them, so this can only be beaten, and it is better to withdraw from the battle immediately.
But those light machine guns, you can move the position with machine guns, even if there are Japanese tank guns and infantry guns, they are not very afraid, after all, they are not dead targets for devils to aim.
Behind the "dead tank" at the foot of the mountain, a group of devil soldiers were hiding, holding grenadiers, trying to use grenades to hit the light machine gun fire points of the Chinese army on the hillside.
This warp weapon, from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, is not very accurate and cannot be far, this will test the skill of the launcher, but from the mountain to the mountain, it is relatively easy, and the range will be a little farer.
The grenadier group of the Japanese army hiding behind the tank fired grenades into the mountain, reminding the grenadier soldiers of the Ninth Company to catch this "dead tank" as the coordinate target, and fired several groups of grenades downward, which exploded at once.
After blowing up the devils behind the tank, some devils no longer dare to gather behind the tank, and on the battlefield, what seems to be a safe place is actually the most dangerous.
Just like dodging from an airplane, if you hide under a tree, in a house, or under a bridge, there is a good chance that you will be bombed, because the pilot is thinking about the people on the ground.
If you dodge in reverse, that is, in a ditch and a field without any shelter, the enemy's planes will not drop bombs very much, after all, in such a wide place, throw a few shells to blow up one or two people, and you will not be able to hit them, and you may not be able to blow them up.
But if the plane pulls down and dives to strafe, then there is no way, it is better to hide in a place where there is a concealment to block bullets, so this anti-gun and bulletproof options are different.
The same is true on the battlefield, some craters, ditches, trenches, etc., are the places where the opponent throws the most bombs, and if you are a bombardier, you will also throw bombs to these places.
But there is no way on the battlefield, and you can't help but hide in these trenches, exposed to the outside and let the direct fire weapons fight, so you can only try your luck, and if you are unlucky, you can't do it.
But one thing that can be avoided is to keep the distance between the skirmishers, and if you don't strictly keep the skirmishers a few meters away, it is very dangerous.
Whether it's a bombardier or a machine gunner, priority is given to the places where the crowd is most dense, and the more the crowd disperses, the more you stay until the last to fight.
Therefore, some recruits, in order to eliminate the huge fear, want to squeeze together with the veterans, and are generally kicked and beaten away by the veterans.
Huddle together, the sooner you die. The more you spread out, the longer you live. This is the basic battlefield rule.
For the Japanese army, at least during this period of time, most of them were veterans with good combat quality, and there were almost no problems in maintaining the straggler formation.
But in terms of choosing concealment, as long as it is a person, whether it is friend or foe, it will like to choose behind the iron guy like the tank, which gives the opportunity to warp weapons such as mortars and grenadiers.
Now the first wave of the Japanese attack, whether it is a fire detective or a tentative attack, it seems that the progress is still unfavorable at present, and the four tanks have lost three and only one remains, and they dare not move forward in fear.
The tank that does not dare to move forward loses its role in protecting the soldiers as a pioneer, and there is no difference between it and a 37 gun, and the Japanese infantry brigade has its own infantry guns, so the tank guns become chicken ribs.
Infantry artillery could not catch nimble light machine guns and mortars, let alone grenadiers that could not even be seen clearly, so the Japanese army was now fighting a stalemate again.
This battle started in the morning, and near noon, the 3rd Battalion of the 152nd Regiment attacked Qiangongling and defeated the 102nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, and then now it was changed to the 104th Brigade to attack Qiangongling, but it could not be fought at once.
"In the face of superior firepower, the Japanese army still relies too much on these advanced weapons, and the sense of forward and desperate death is not very strong." Xiucai was in the command post of the battalion headquarters, chatting with Sangou, and he never left his old job.
