Chapter 473: Get to the Crater
Three Type 89 tanks and two infantry squadrons were the vanguard of the Japanese army, followed by the main force of Okamoto's brigade and the main force of the armored detachment.
The Araki Brigade under the leadership of the 1st Tank Squadron marched towards Baijing Town, their goal was to capture Baijing Town, while the main force of the 1st Mixed Brigade was marching towards Wujiashan.
Kunomura Momoyo planned to set up a brigade headquarters in Wujiashan, and little by little he pressed towards the county seat of Pingding County, encroaching and threatening the troops of the New Second Brigade step by step.
When Fu Tao, the commander of the first battle group, gave the order, the special service battalion, the armored battalion, and the first battalion of the pre-1st regiment quickly began to move.
Ten heavy machine guns continued to fire at the Japanese troops, and one bullet after another accurately attacked the Japanese troops.
MA XUEPENG IMMEDIATELY TRANSFERRED WITH THREE 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, THESE GUNS ARE TREASURES, AND THERE CAN BE NO LOSSES.
After the transfer of the anti-tank guns was completed, the shooters immediately began to evacuate with heavy machine guns.
The Japanese army has a complete artillery support system, and when heavy machine guns shoot, they will definitely expose their position, and if they shoot at the same place for a long time, they will definitely be attacked by Japanese artillery, so elite veterans will fight in one place for a while, and then quickly move to other positions.
While the heavy machine gun company was rapidly moving under the leadership of company commander Dai Yuxuan, the Japanese light machine guns and grenadiers began firing again.
Without the suppression of heavy machine gun bullets, the Japanese light machine guns and grenadiers fired very violently.
A platoon commander who commanded the evacuation was careless, and his body was hit by seven or eight bullets, and several bullet holes appeared in his body, and blood continued to flow out along the bullet holes in his body, and the platoon commander fell to the ground, and blood kept spitting out of his mouth, and after a while, the platoon commander died.
The Japanese light machine guns fired vicious bullets, which kept coming at the soldiers of the heavy machine gun company.
"Shoot!" A man in the uniform of the Eighth Route Army shouted loudly.
"All of them!"
The sound of artillery began to sound, and huge bullets were quickly fired, and one after another huge bullets fired towards the Japanese light machine guns.
A crooked light machine gun was hit by this huge bullet, and the entire light machine gun was completely destroyed, and a Japanese shooter in the back was directly hit in the head by the huge bullet.
THE FOUR 20MM GUNS OF THE ARMORED BATTALION, WHICH COULD FIRE BOTH HIGH AND FLAT, WERE FED BY MAGAZINES FILLED WITH SEVENTEEN HUGE ARMOR-PIERCING ROUNDS.
This kind of machine gun still has a certain armor-piercing ability at close range, and this kind of machine gun is also very precious, but there must be a stock in a local boss like Yan Xishan.
The armored battalion had a lot of German-made weapons, which might not be valued by the Germans, but in the hands of the Chinese troops, they were a sharp weapon against the Japanese army.
Four machine guns opened fire, and three Japanese light machine guns and four grenadiers were quickly destroyed.
The Japanese units, which had just organized their firepower, had to take cover again, and the Japanese units began to cover each other and retreat to the rear.
"**** day!"
The sharp whistling sound reached the ears of the fighters without warning, and the machine gun gunners who were firing, the heavy machine gun shooters who were moving their positions, these fighters' faces became solemn, and they quickly made evasive actions.
"Boom, boom!"
A series of explosions began to sound, eight grenades hit directly at the place where the anti-tank gun platoon stayed, the explosions sounded, and many craters tens of meters long appeared on the ground.
Shrapnel flew everywhere, and the air waves generated by the explosion formed a shock wave, which rushed directly in all directions.
Before the four fighters could dodge, they were lifted by the air waves, and shrapnel continued to hit their bodies, and by the time the four fighters fell to the ground, they were already dead.
Dai Yuxuan, the commander of the heavy machine gun company, helped the steel helmet on his head, blood continued to flow from his right cheek, he was cut by a stone, but he didn't care at all.
"Quick, get into the crater!" After the explosion was over, Dai Yuxuan hurriedly shouted.
This is the experience of veterans, and the craters made by shells will never fall here.
The three heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun company that had not been transferred were immediately carried into the nearby crater, and Dai Yuxuan ran quickly, he kept looking around.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the officers and men of his heavy machine gun company were dodging, and then he hurried to the crater.
The guns were deployed some distance from the anti-tank gun platoon, but the fighters here were still affected, more than a dozen fighters were blown down by the air wave, three soldiers were wounded, but there were no casualties, and after the explosion, the four guns quickly began to move.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese artillery shells came again, this time the Japanese artillery shells hit the position where the heavy machine gun company had been deployed.
Shells continued to explode, and if the ten heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun company were still deployed here, they would definitely be wiped out by the Japanese army.
With the help of artillery fire, Hongo Tenggong's Type 89 tank began to stop retreating, and Hongo Tenggong controlled the tank machine gun to fire at the machine gun, but he did not know that the four machine guns had already been transferred.
More than 300 devil soldiers also began to stop retreating, and they began to quickly advance towards the left side of the attack, and the devil soldiers showed their well-trained side.
The groups of devil soldiers continued to alternate to cover the advance, and the light machine guns and grenadiers followed the infantry along with the advance.
The devil soldiers were able to maximize the support of the artillery, and they almost stepped on the artillery point to advance.
But they didn't know that except for the three heavy machine guns that stayed in the crater, the rest of the Chinese troops had all been evacuated.
"All of them!" As the Japanese began to concentrate their forces to attack to the left, artillery began to sound on the right side of the road.
One grenade after another began to fall into the charging devil soldiers, and the sudden explosion caused the devil soldiers to pay more than 30 casualties.
Immediately afterwards, three Type 89 tanks began to shoot under the command of Yin Jinshan, and three armor-piercing shells were fired through the tank gun.
By the time Hongo Teng realized that something was wrong, it was already too late, and three armor-piercing shells hit the tank that Hongo Teng Gong was in, and three black holes appeared in this tank.
Hongo Tenggong felt as if his body was torn apart, and his consciousness gradually disappeared, until he died, Hongo Tenggong did not expect that there were Chinese troops on the right side of the road.
The six Type 95 tanks began to move quickly, and they charged directly behind the butt of the devil soldiers.
