Chapter 111: The Tank Regiment is mighty
A Japanese soldier Dazuo, seeing the tank regiment's tank tank tank rampant, immediately changed his face, hurriedly got into a tent, shook the phone vigorously, and prepared to report to Ushijima in the city, but the phone shook for a long time and there was no response.
"Boom!"
A high-explosive bomb directly drilled into the tent, emitting a violent explosion, which shattered the tent, killing several little devils in the tent, including the little devil Dazuo, and blowing up the telephone, radio and other communication equipment in the tent to pieces.
"Your Excellency Wing Commander, Your Excellency Wing Commander ......"
Not far away, many Japanese soldiers witnessed this scene, and many Japanese soldiers shouted sadly.
A Japanese soldier, with a few grenades, with a hideous face, shouted and pounced on the M4 tank that had just opened fire, with a loud "boom", several grenades exploded almost simultaneously, blowing the Japanese soldier to pieces, and the blood mist in the sky was raised.
Although this tank was hit by a grenade, it didn't seem to have much impact, and the M4 tank, as an excellent medium tank, was not poorly armored.
After the explosion, the Japanese soldier was blown up without a trace, and the front of the M4 tank was splashed with a large amount of blood, and even some minced flesh was glued.
But soon, the fighters breathed a sigh of relief, the tank was fine, so the fighters began to retaliate at the little devils, and the nearby little devils fell into bad luck.
With a large number of tanks on the rampage, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese basically had no frontal firepower to directly confront the Sherman tanks, and the destruction of the M4 tank usually had to rely on well-concealed anti-tank guns to kill at close range or even human attacks to be effective.
However, the Japanese anti-tank guns were obviously very limited, and the Japanese never expected that their opponent would be a huge group of tanks.
Inside a trench, a little devil Shaozuo looked anxious, and was ordering several little devils to push out a 37mm anti-tank gun, and several little devils took a lot of effort to push the anti-tank gun into a suitable position.
The little devils quickly prepared, and after a few minutes, they were finally ready, under the command of the little devil Shaozuo, they aimed at an M4 tank not far away, this M4 tank was shelling the little devils, and at least several little devils were killed.
"Kill to !!"
The Japanese soldier took out his command knife and pointed to the tank that was firing in the distance, and there was a loud "boom", and the little devils opened fire, but I don't know if the road was because the level was too poor or too nervous, and the first shot actually missed.
"Yaga!"
Such a good opportunity didn't hit, and the Japanese army Shaozo was so angry that he screamed and ordered the little devils to aim and fire again.
This M4 tank found out that these little devils were firing at themselves just now, so it quickly rotated the turret and aimed at the little devils' battle defense gun.
"Boom!"
The gunner of this M4 tank is at a good level, and it hits the target directly, this is obviously a high-explosive shell, which blew up the Japanese army's battle defense gun to the ground, a little deformed, obviously this battle defense gun is useless, and several little devils who are preparing to fire the gun are also blown up or killed.
The Japanese soldier Shaozo was a little far away from this battle defense gun, and he was not killed, but the devil Shaozo was already scared to death, because, after this M4 tank fired this gun, the barrel of the black hole hole had been aimed at the devil Shaozo.
Seeing the barrel of this black hole, the devil Shaozuo broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and he was so frightened that he immediately stumbled and ran away.
However, the luck of this Japanese soldier Shaozo was too bad, just ran a few steps, and suddenly an armored car appeared next to him, and the machine gun on this armored car fired at this Japanese Shaozo, and the Japanese Shaozo was beaten to pieces, fell to the ground, and died no longer dead.
At this time, the combat vehicles of the machine infantry battalion and the air defense battalion had begun to provide fire cover for the tanks of the tank battalion, and the fighters used machine guns and so on to kill the little devils who were close to the tanks for a human attack.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, a Japanese soldier holding an explosives bag, still twenty or thirty meters away from an M4 tank, was smashed by the machine gun of an armored vehicle, even the explosive bag was also exploded, and a loud bang was made, and the huge power of the explosive bag not only blew up the Japanese soldier into a blood mist, but also several Japanese soldiers not far away were also affected, and they were injured if they were not killed.
As the battle progressed, due to the lack of effective means of attack on the Japanese side, a limited number of anti-aircraft guns were also destroyed, and now, in order to resist the attack of the soldiers, many Japanese soldiers began to attack the tanks of the tank regiment.
The so-called man-and-bullet attack is when some Japanese soldiers, carrying explosives packs or grenades strapped to their bodies, rush towards the fighters' tanks or armored vehicles in an attempt to blow up these tanks or armored vehicles.
Among the armored command vehicles, regiment commander Sun Yougen had already received a report, and many Japanese soldiers began to attack their own combat vehicles one after another, so Sun Yougen began to change his tactics and ordered the armored vehicles of the infantry battalion and the air defense battalion to cover the attack of the tanks.
Although the Sherman M4 tank is not thinly armored, it is still more dangerous once it is approached by Japanese soldiers to carry out a man-bomb attack, especially those Japanese soldiers who are carrying explosive bags.
With the armored vehicles of the infantry battalion, the anti-aircraft battalion provided cover for the tanks of the tank battalion, and the Japanese soldiers were already very difficult to get close, almost impossible to get close to the M4 tanks that opened their guns.
"Da, da, da......"
A burst of intensive shooting sounded, a Japanese soldier with an explosive bag approaching an M4 tank, was knocked to the ground, not far away, a Japanese second lieutenant commanding the attack, with a miserable face, the battle to this extent, need to rely on the same way of fighting, these Japanese officers never expected.
However, the Japanese soldier who attacked with the explosive bag was killed, and soon, with the order of the Japanese second lieutenant, another Japanese soldier, with a cat on his waist, risked being killed, ran over quickly, grabbed the explosive bag on the ground, and ran towards the M4 tank.
"Boom!"
There were still several meters away from the M4 tank, and the Japanese soldier was killed again, this time, even the explosive bag was blown up, and an armored vehicle not far away provided the M4 tank with strong close-range fire support
Inside the city of Hangzhou.
The headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the Japanese division, Niu Dao, was full of grief and indignation, and kept reporting, almost knocking down Niu Daoman, west of Hangzhou, a large number of troops were stationed in the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, at least in the thousands, but these thousands of Japanese troops were being slaughtered by a huge group of tanks of the Chinese army.
It was a naked massacre, and these thousands of Japanese troops, barely equipped with anti-tank equipment, were already suffering heavy casualties under the attack of a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.
Although he did not personally go to the battle scene in the west of Hangzhou to check, Ushijima could fully imagine that the west of Hangzhou at this time must have been full of corpses and a mess.
"Retreat, hurry up and retreat to the city!"
Ushijima almost roared with grief and indignation, and ordered the Japanese troops in the west of the city to flee into the city quickly, the suburbs were flat, and it was completely the world of Chinese chariots, and only by running into the city could there be a chance of survival.
The chief of staff of the Japanese army next to him, seeing that Ushijima was almost roaring, immediately hurriedly ran to convey the order in person.
****
West of Hangzhou.
The battle was fierce, but it was almost one-sided, and the Japanese army, lacking effective anti-tank means, was only slaughtered.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and thousands of Japanese soldiers were beaten to pieces, with heavy casualties, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers could be seen everywhere on the ground, and there were even many stumps and broken arms.
Even the weapons of the Japanese army were scattered everywhere, and most of the field tents of the Japanese army no longer existed, either blown up, overwhelmed by tanks, or burning.
The entire battlefield was full of fires, not only flammable tents burning, but also some Japanese supplies, even corpses, destroyed vehicles, etc.
On a highway leading to Hangzhou, a large number of Japanese troops, without any image, were fleeing for their lives in the city in a mess, and even, in addition to the highway, there were also many Japanese troops on both sides of the highway, who were fleeing quickly into the city.
The Japanese army, which received the order to retreat, had already begun to retreat on a large scale, but although the Japanese army began to retreat, many tank regiments and tanks were pursuing behind.
As soon as the Japanese army showed signs of retreating, it was immediately discovered by the soldiers, and some battalion and company commanders of the tank regiment immediately reported this phenomenon to the regiment commander Sun Yougen.
On the road leading to Hangzhou City, the Japanese soldiers who fled for their lives were even worse, crowded together, and even a few large trucks, full of a large number of Japanese soldiers.
I don't know where these Japanese troops drove a few trucks, these trucks were crowded in the retreating Japanese army, driving slowly, the carriages were full of Japanese soldiers, and there were even a few Japanese officers.
A Japanese officer, huddled in the carriage, looked in horror at the Chinese chariots chasing behind, and behind them, at least dozens of Chinese chariots were already chasing after them with dazzling pillars of light, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
"Yaga! Quick, quick, drop back, give me more throttle. ”
The Japanese officer shouted vigorously, but no one paid attention to the Japanese officer in the chaos around him, and it was obvious that the Japanese military system had been completely chaotic.
Behind the retreating Japanese troops, there were about thirty or forty tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles, which were driving at high speed, and the distance was getting closer and closer to China under the frightened eyes of these Japanese troops......
