Chapter 504: Launching Armor-Piercing Bullets
Three grenades fired at the Japanese tanks, and the three grenades were fired by the machine gun company of the first battalion of the first battalion of Yue Wu's pre-regiment.
However, because of the newly formed artillery unit, three grenades did not hit the target accurately, but hit the front of the tank.
"Aim and fight, you can't let the tanks continue to advance, otherwise the troops of the independent regiment will become dangerous." Yue Wu saw that the shell did not hit the tank, and he shouted loudly with an anxious expression on his face.
The artillerymen adjusted the angle of the mortar fire again, and the grenades were quickly loaded into the barrels, and after the gunners made sure that there were no problems, the grenades were quickly fired.
A grenade smashed directly on top of an armored vehicle, and as the grenade exploded, the armored vehicle began to deform significantly, and the armored vehicle quickly stopped moving.
There was also a grenade that hit the track of a Type 89 tank, and with the destruction of the tank's tracks, the Type 89 tank could not continue to drive.
Yue Wu held a telescope to observe the shooting effect, and saw two grenades hitting the target, Yue Wu showed an excited expression on his face, and he couldn't help shouting: "Fight well, just fight like this, give me a hard shot of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles." ”
As soon as Yue Wu's words fell, before the gunner could make any answer, the Japanese artillery detachments deployed on the high ground began to shoot.
Under the command of a Japanese captain, the four Type 94 mountain guns quickly began to fire grenades at the mortars, and one grenade after another quickly hit them.
FOUR GRENADES FLEW THROUGH THE AIR, ONE OF THE GRENADES WAS THE FIRST TO LAND WITHIN TWO METERS OF A MORTAR, THE EXPLOSION SOUNDED, THE BRAND-NEW 82MM MORTAR WAS BLOWN OVER ON THE SPOT, AND ALL SIX ARTILLERYMEN IN CHARGE OF THE MORTAR WERE KILLED.
Even if they were deployed on both sides, the other two mortars, which were still some distance from this mortar, were somewhat affected.
Immediately afterwards, the other three grenades also began to fall rapidly, and the two shells fell not far from the remaining two mortars at the same time, and as the explosion sounded, the two mortars were also destroyed, and more than a dozen artillery soldiers were all killed, and Yue Wu, who was not far away, was also stunned by the shells.
Even though the artillery group on the Dongzhai Nu Mountain dispatched eight Type 94 mountain guns to attract the Japanese firepower, the detachment leader of the artillery detachment of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army, Ikuta Nakasa, was the commander of the artillery detachment of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army, and he dispatched two field artillery squadrons to counterattack the Chinese artillery group on the Dongzhai Nu Mountain, while he personally commanded the remaining nine mountain guns to assist the armored detachment in combat.
The infantry of the 1st Mixed Brigade did not participate in this operation, and the four infantry brigades, led by Major General Brigade Naganono Momoyo, quickly advanced towards Higashihui Town, and the troops of the 1st Mixed Brigade were intended to quickly reinforce Eiichi Eiichi's 132nd Wing.
The battle in Baijing Town is still continuing, and more than 600 troops of the two battalions of the Independent Regiment have paid more than 300 casualties, four of the 18 Japanese tanks have been destroyed, and six of the 24 armored vehicles have been destroyed, but the price paid by the Independent Regiment is very heavy, almost the lives of twenty or thirty soldiers in exchange for a tank and armored vehicle.
"Da Da Da!" The Japanese tanks were already less than 20 meters away from the trench temporarily dug by the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, and the tank machine guns were constantly strafing, and the soldiers were so suppressed that they could not raise their heads.
As soon as a fighter with a cluster grenade jumped out of cover his body, his body was directly smashed into a sieve.
The five tanks quickly approached the officers and soldiers, the tank machine guns continued to strafe, and one bullet after another was quickly shot out, and the soldiers suppressed by the powerful machine gun fire were unable to move at all.
"Mixi, order the 2nd Tank Squadron to speed up, the 1st Tank Squadron to cover, and the 1st Squadron of Armored Vehicles and the 2nd Squadron to quickly outflank from both sides. These Chinese troops, our armored detachment can completely easily deal with them. ”
Riding in a Type 89 tank, Morikawa Nakasa had a smug smile on his face, and seeing that his troops were about to completely annihilate the Chinese troops, he hurriedly gave the final attack order.
The herald opened the top cover of the tank, and the small flags were waved from the tank again, and the commanders of the various vehicles saw the waving small flags, and they knew the disposition of Morikawa Nakasa.
At present, the second squadron still has two Type 89 tanks and six Type 95 tanks, these eight tanks are rapidly advancing towards the position of the independent regiment, and the remaining four Type 95 tanks of the first squadron are staying in place for cover, and the 37MM tank guns of the four tanks continue to fire grenades one after another, assisting the tank machine guns of the first squadron and suppressing the firepower of the independent regiment.
Two Type 92 armored vehicles with eight Type 91 armored vehicles immediately made a detour from the left flank, and one Type 92 armored car with seven Type 91 armored vehicles made a detour from the right flank.
At this time, there were only more than 200 people in the independent regiment who could fight, but more than 200 people were riflemen with rifles, and they obviously had no way to face the pressure of tanks and armored vehicles.
"Launch!" At this critical moment,On a high ground in Baijing Town,Chen Haojie, who rushed to the scene with six 41-type mountain guns, gave the order to shoot。
As Chen Haojie's shooting order began to be issued,The gunners of the six 41-type mountain guns quickly pulled the firing cord,Six armor-piercing shells quickly hit the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles。
The armor-piercing bullet has no less penetrating ability than the armor-piercing projectile, and the armor-piercing projectile does not often cause a two-hole hole in the target like the armor-piercing projectile, and the metal jet generated after the explosion of the armor-piercing projectile will cause large-scale damage.
An armor-piercing bullet fell on a Type 91 armored vehicle, as the armor-piercing bullet began to explode, the high heat temperature was generated, the metal of the armored vehicle began to soften, the shrapnel easily penetrated the softened metal, and the Japanese soldiers inside the armored vehicle were killed one after another.
Even the warriors who were hiding in the bunker could feel that the temperature around them had instantly begun to rise, and the scorching waves of air had hit, making people begin to feel a sense of suffocation.
The armored vehicle hit by the armor-piercing shell began to be torn by shrapnel, and a lot of holes appeared in the thin armored car.
Japanese tanks and armored vehicles quickly began to disperse, and the gunners of the four Type 95 tanks of the first squadron began to raise the height of the tank guns, and they had already discovered the location of the Chinese artillery.
But the other five armor-piercing shells began to arrive belatedly, and these five armor-piercing shells fell in different positions, and a huge explosion sounded again.
An armor-piercing projectile exploded on the ground and blasted layers of soil, sending shrapnel flying everywhere, wreaking havoc on the metal armor of tanks and armored vehicles.
