Chapter 147: The Burning .doc of the Battle
There were so many planes in the Japanese army that there were so many that the number of them was uncountable! According to post-war statistics, more than 40 Japanese planes were shot down alone!
With so many planes flying all over the sky, except for half of them bombers, the other half are all fighters! The main reason is that the Japanese army has learned from the previous experience of dealing with the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment, and it is known that the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment has anti-aircraft machine guns, so this time a large number of fighters were sent to escort it!
Tian Zheng was arranged on the air defense position in the south of the city, and all the anti-aircraft machine guns were all firepower, there were almost 30 anti-aircraft machine guns in total, and the concentrated fire directly formed a barrage, and all the planes flying by were basically difficult to avoid this dense bullet, and soon Japanese planes began to fall!
However, because the ground firepower is much smaller than the Japanese army's aerial firepower, the air defense positions on the ground are also withstanding the ferocious attack of the Japanese aircraft! These anti-aircraft positions are made of boulders, some are poured concrete, and they are very strong! The Japanese plane's machine gun bullets could only bring up a puff of smoke and dust when they hit it, which could not penetrate! But the machine gunners who operated anti-aircraft machine guns in the anti-aircraft positions of the Wolf Regiment suffered very large losses! On some positions, there are less than ten people left in a platoon! And it's rapidly decreasing!
Tian Zheng urgently dispatched troop trucks loaded with anti-aircraft machine guns on standby in the city, and asked them to find favorable terrain and quickly organize anti-aircraft air defense! In this way, the pressure on the air defense positions in the south of the city will be reduced!
At the same time, the Japanese ground forces also began a large-scale offensive! Their armored forces poured out, and the infantry followed closely behind, and began to launch the most direct charge towards the positions of the Wolf Separate Regiment! The position of the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment immediately faced tremendous pressure! There are not enough rocket launchers. The number of rockets is also greatly insufficient! Wang Zilu ordered to save some use! Wait until the Japanese tanks are close before they fire! Make sure you can kill with one hit. No waste of ammo!
If the rockets are completely fired, then the weapons used against the Japanese armored forces. All that was left was artillery. First of all, let's not talk about whether the artillery can hit the target at such a close distance, even if the elevation angle of the artillery can be pulled very low and can hit targets at close range, but now the artillery shells are gradually starting to run out!
The anti-aircraft machine guns placed on the position were fired in a flat-fire mode, strafing the Japanese infantry units charging from the opposite side at a long distance! Occasionally, there were also shots at the side armor of Japanese thin-skinned tanks! But this kind of shooting is not very effective, often hundreds of rounds are fired, and it is difficult to knock out a tank!
From time to time, a few Japanese bombers will fly in the air! These Japanese bombers were all Japanese fighters after entangled the defense base of the Wild Wolf Regiment in the south of the city, and took advantage of the lack of firepower of the Wild Wolf Regiment to take care of anything else. I found a gap in the fire defense of the wolf group and flew over!
The shells of these bombers pose a great threat to the defensive line of the Wolf Regiment! Under the pressure of the Japanese army on the opposite side, the anti-aircraft machine guns placed on the defensive line of the position were basically adjusted to the flat fire mode to suppress the Japanese troops on the opposite side, but at this moment, the pressure brought by the Japanese bombers in the air was getting bigger and bigger, and these anti-aircraft machine guns had no choice but to adjust to the anti-aircraft mode, and the bullet barrage was fiercely hit at the Japanese bombers in the air who were showing off their might! The Japanese bombers in the sky did not expect that there were anti-aircraft machine guns on the defensive line of the positions of the Wolf Regiment! Because the anti-aircraft machine gun can be regarded as a very high-end luxury weapon for the troops of the Huaxia Kingdom, the Western powers will not export this kind of weapon to the Huaxia State at all. The fact that the defenders of the Huaxia State in this city of Shenyang were able to have dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns was already amazing enough. They didn't expect that there were more than a dozen on the position! In the eyes of these Japanese pilots, if there were still anti-aircraft machine guns on their positions, why did they not defend the air as soon as the Japanese planes came, but waited until the Japanese planes had basically bombed the defensive line of the Wild Wolf Regiment before they began to counterattack?
It was due to this negligence of the Japanese pilots. As a result, they didn't have time to make tactical evasion moves, and many of the bulky bombers were all shot! Three of them were shot down directly!
With this counterattack by the Wolf Regiment, the Japanese bombers did not dare to continue to stick to the ground and undulate the soldiers of the Wolf Regiment. The Japanese bombers were all pulled up to the air, waiting for their fighters to come and sweep the anti-aircraft machine guns of the Wolf Regiment on the ground!
With such a gap. The Japanese ground troops on the opposite side were not suppressed by the fire of the wolf regiment, and immediately rebounded! As the rockets of the Wolf Regiment were used less and less. The bazooka launchers of the Wolf Regiment are firing less and less frequently, and the Japanese tanks can no longer be suppressed!
Finally, at the cost of twenty-six tanks, the Japanese army used up the rockets in the stock of the Wolf Regiment! And their armored forces, and more than a dozen tanks! These more than a dozen tanks led the Japanese infantry units behind them, like a sharp blade, into the first line of defense of the wolf regiment!
And the soldiers of the Wolf Regiment in the first line of defense suffered heavy losses! The only weapons they had that could threaten the Japanese tanks were cluster grenades and explosive packs! But they could not break through the net of fire of the Japanese tanks! Especially when the tank is followed by Japanese infantry!
"Chief of Staff, please give the order! We're all set! "The commander of the infantry regiment and battalion of the Wild Wolf Regiment stood in front of Wang Zilu with a face full of gunsmoke and dust, and pleaded!
"First battalion commander! I can't bear to let my brothers rush forward like this! That's sending you to death! The soldiers who rushed forward, even if they were capable, could hardly escape the combined fire network of Japanese tanks and infantry! "Wang Zilu is anxiously moving towards the way to break the enemy in the command post.
"Chief of Staff! Just give the order! We know that there is no life or death when we go up this time! But even if we die, we will pull all the tanks of the little devils into the water! Chief of Staff, don't hesitate any longer! We are all soldiers who joined the Wolf Regiment with you! We are a battalion of sharp knives! It is the most elite battalion of the Wild Wolf Regiment! Now that we are in difficulty, we don't go up, who will? Do you know that when we see our comrades around us being killed and disabled by the little devil's tank, we can't wait to die for them! Chief of Staff, I beg you, you just let us up! On the outer line of defense, our brethren are falling every moment! The commander of the first battalion shouted hoarsely. His eyes were already red, and the tears that flowed from the corners of his eyes were bloodshot!
"Good! I will allow you to go up. First battalion commander, take care! The Wolves will remember your work! The people of China will remember you! Wang Zi Lu held back the tears from the corners of his eyes, but his shoulders were shaking and twitching!
The commander of the first battalion turned and left. He took a battalion of them, and there were less than two full companies left, and in groups of two with a pair of explosives packs or cluster grenades, they rushed towards the Japanese tank position!
These 200 people are like warriors who are generous to death, and they are so tragic! Many soldiers in the rest of the Wolf Regiment saw this scene, and they all shouted loudly, frantically pulling the trigger in their hands, and the fire of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifles kept pouring down on the Japanese infantry on the opposite side! They're all like bulls with red eyes!
The remaining 1,200 men of the 1st battalion kept rushing forward, the soldiers with explosive packs or cluster grenades sprinting in a straight line, and the other soldier in the same group shot at the air attack, covering the fire of his comrades around him!
Obviously, the actions of these 200 people were not only seen by the officers and soldiers of the Wild Wolf Regiment, but also by the Japanese troops on the opposite side! They hit the fire frantically and shoot this way! The bullets of the 37-mm guns of the tanks and the rifles of the infantry were constantly pouring over! They abandoned all defense, hitting the fire and blocking the charge of the first battalion! These Japanese soldiers also knew that as long as all their tanks were blown up, then they would completely lose the advantage of the battlefield, and they could only engage with the soldiers of the Wolf Regiment!
The officers and men of the first battalion, people kept being shot and falling! But the explosive bags and cluster grenades in the hands of those fallen officers and soldiers will immediately be picked up by their uninjured comrades and continue to charge forward!
This is a tragic scene! This is a mortal charge! But none of the officers and men of the first battalion retreated! Not a single cowardly! The seriously wounded officers and soldiers directly took the dagger and finished themselves off! Don't add a burden to your comrades-in-arms! The officers and men who were slightly injured could run and continued to run forward, and those who could not run clenched the Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifles in their hands and lay on the ground to cover the fire of their comrades who were rushing forward!
The courage of the officers and men of the first battalion gave the Wild Wolf Regiment a great morale boost! It also made the soldiers of the Wild Wolf Regiment red-eyed!
"Boom!" When the first explosive bag sounded, the firepower of the wolf regiment and the Japanese army seemed to be shocked at the same time, and there was a short gap in the firepower between the two sides!
This explosion was detonated by a battalion commander! When he rushed to the tank, he was hit by a Japanese machine gun and broke his left leg! But he crawled out of the ground at a distance of nearly five meters! With the strength of your whole body, you can firmly press the explosive bag against the turret of the Japanese tank! He was also hit in the chest and back by Japanese rifles! But the commander of the first battalion used his firm conviction to exert the last trace of strength, and before he died, he pulled the detonation rope of the explosive bag with his naturally drooping right hand!
"First battalion commander!" Wang Zilu watched this scene with a telescope from the command post! His eyes were splitting! (To be continued......)
