Chapter 302: Doomsday IV
readx; The officers and men who suffered the heavy blow did not have the slightest confusion and quickly lay down on the spot to launch a counterattack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The 37mm and coaxial machine guns on four Type 94 ultralight tanks rained down an overwhelming barrage of bullets into the first line of trenches of the Chinese defenders. Heavy machine-gun squadrons and grenadiers accompanying the attack also rained down bullets and grenades on the first line of trenches.
In an instant, the first trench was covered by the Type 94 ultralight tank and the support fire of the army.
The more than 300 Chinese officers and men in the first trench were completely suppressed by the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, and they could not move their heads at all while lying in the trenches.
A few Czech light machine gun shooters who couldn't resist shooting through the head were beaten into a sieve by the airtight barrage before they could fire a few bullets.
"Watch for secrecy!" The old black's roar resounded in the first trench.
Seeing that the firepower of the Chinese defenders was completely suppressed, the soldiers of the Yue Army got up and rushed up behind the four Type 94 ultralight tanks amid the roars of officers at all levels.
Ichiro Kuto, the captain of the light tank brigade of the 7th Wing of the Combat Vehicle, who was observing the battle situation, disdained to the captain of the 63rd Wing, Fukuei Mahei, and said, "Kimura-kun, the combat effectiveness of the Shina people is too poor!" ”
Furong Zhenping, who had carefully studied Gao Fei's command, snorted heavily when he heard this, and said coldly, "Kudo-kun, you take a closer look!" ”
Shrugged his shoulders indifferently, Ichiro Kudo raised his binoculars again, just in time to see a cloud of grenades rushing towards the formation of the army that had rushed to fifty meters into the trench.
Fifty 60-mm mortars of the three battalions, scattered in the third and fourth trenches, fired rapid fire under Gao Fei's orders.
Under the correction of the observers, a group of grenades completely covered the formation of the army.
"Boom, boom!" Amid the incessant sound of explosions, clusters of crimson fireballs scrambled to rise in the ranks of the army.
Although the sharp shrapnel and tyrannical shock wave could not deal a fatal blow to the four Type 94 ultralight tanks, they also blew up the crew members of the tank.
More than 500 officers and men, who did not have the ability to protect themselves, suffered heavy losses in this intensive artillery bombardment.
Amid the incessant screams, more than 100 officers and men who accompanied the tank charge flew into the air at the moment, and before they could hit the ground, they were cut apart by shrapnel screaming in the air.
Hundreds of liters of blood rained down from the air with pieces of flesh and internal organs.
More than 400 officers and men who were not at the center of the explosion threw themselves on the ground to avoid the shrapnel fired in the air, and the rain of blood falling from the sky made these officers and men, who were accustomed to seeing bloody scenes, howl in horror.
"Brothers, beat hard!" In the roar of Lao Hei, the first trench, which was suppressed by the firepower of the Yue army, swallowed the flames of anger towards the more than 300 officers and soldiers who were struggling on the battlefield.
The only ones that could fight back were the four Type 94 ultralight tanks, and the tank crews of the Yue Army, who had not yet recovered from the violent shock, shook the turret desperately, and the 37mm tank guns kept adjusting the firing angle.
"Knock knock!" A 37mm grenade screamed as it erupted into the defenders' firing point, which was firing wildly.
From time to time, in the flash of fire, the position of a light and heavy machine gun that was still spewing flames just now was instantly muted.
The red eyes were fixed on the four Type 94 ultralight tanks doing whatever they wanted in front of the trench and roared, "Demolition team! ”
The 10 officers and men who had been prepared for a long time picked up a bundle of cluster grenades and quickly climbed out of the trench, clinging to the ground and quickly crawling towards the army tanks that were frantically shelling.
Under the vigorous organization of officers at all levels, more than 300 officers and men who had dispersed also began to counterattack in the face of grenades that fell from time to time.
The three 92 heavy machine guns and ten grenadiers that survived the intensive bombardment fired desperately, trying to cooperate with the tanks to once again suppress the fire of the defenders' first trench. However, to the frustration of the heavy machine gunners and grenadiers, the 50 Chinese mortars actually concentrated all their firepower to cover them one by one.
The support firepower of the Yue Army, which had no ability to fight back, quickly turned into piles of parts under the overwhelming artillery fire of the Reading Regiment.
Dozens of Chinese riflemen who spotted the Chinese soldiers rapidly approaching the tank shot desperately to intercept them, despite the dense rain of bullets fired from the trenches.
Dozens of bullets screamed and swept towards the ten Chinese officers and soldiers who had approached 20 meters from the tank.
We have to admit that the officers and men are well-trained, and under such a disadvantage, their shooting accuracy is still very high.
The 6.6-millimeter bullet, which flew at high speed almost close to the ground, penetrated into the bodies of the ten officers and men with long eyes.
With a muffled snort, blood arrows shot out from the bodies of Chinese officers and soldiers, and more than half of the officers and soldiers lay in pools of blood without moving.
A young soldier who had been pierced through the neck trembled and pulled the cluster grenade, using the last of his strength to straighten up.
Before his body could be penetrated, the young soldier threw a cluster grenade emitting green smoke.
The cluster grenade that crossed a low arc landed ten meters in front, "Boom! "In the deafening explosion, the sky was full of gunpowder smoke and debris.
The young soldier, covered in craters, lay in a pool of blood and twitched irregularly, and when four figures passed him, the young soldier swallowed his last breath.
At the moment when their vision was obscured, more than a dozen riflemen of the army who realized what was going to happen were shooting in a frenzy.
In the smoke of gunfire, the chests of the three Chinese soldiers who were dripping with blood all over their bodies suddenly rose several blood mist on their backs, and they fell unwillingly holding the cluster grenades that were emitting white smoke from the "sting, stinging, stinging, stinging".
In the dazzling light of the fire, three huge crimson fireballs kicked off even greater gunsmoke, and just as the riflemen of the Yue Army, who thought they had eliminated all the Chinese daredevils, let out a sigh of relief, a bloody Chinese soldier roared and rushed out of the gunsmoke.
"Shoot!" In the howl of terror, more Type 38 rifles turned their muzzles to shoot.
"Die!" With a roar, the Chinese soldier threw a cluster grenade in his hand and was immediately knocked to the ground by dozens of 6.6mm bullets.
His eyes were still wide as he watched the cluster grenade fly towards a Type 94 ultralight tank.
The cluster grenade, made of ten grenades bundled, bounced off the ground and rolled into the bottom of a Japanese tank.
In the sound of a powerful explosion, the Type 94 ultralight tank, which weighed only two tons, was shaken up more than half a meter high by the powerful shock wave and fell down fiercely.
Both tracks were blown off, and a hole was blown out of the tank's chassis, and the entire tank was shrouded in smoke.
With a "bang", the lid of the Type 94 ultra-light tank was opened, and a tank soldier who was blackened by thick smoke coughed and crawled out, and before this lucky tank soldier could land, a series of angry 7.92 mm bullets instantly broke the waist of the soldier who got out of the tank in two.
"Get them down!" Fukuei Zhenping, who was watching this scene expressionlessly, finally gave the order.
After seeing the signal to retreat, the more than 200 officers and men who were still alive fled desperately from the battlefield beyond the slaughterhouse under the cover of three Type 94 ultralight tanks, and even ignored the corpses of their comrades who had died in battle.
After nearly half an hour of fighting, apart from leaving behind more than 300 bloody corpses and a Type 94 ultralight tank emitting black smoke and broken tracks, the Chinese defenders failed to break through the first line of defense.
Ichiro Kudo, whose whole face had turned iron blue due to anger, smashed the telescope in his hand fiercely, his eyes were red and he stared at Fukuei Shinpei with a calm face, and roared, "Kimura-kun, I personally led all the tanks to attack, please send two more brigades to cooperate!" ”
"Kudo-kun, do you think that's all the firepower of Shina?"
Shocked by Fukuei Zhenping's words, Ichiro Kudo, who was about to show his eyes, didn't know how to answer for a while.
After snorting lightly, Fukuei gathered all the captains and began to arrange the next attack.
After making a few phone calls nervously, Wang Guanwu looked at the casualty data on the paper and breathed a sigh of relief: "Commander-in-chief, there are sixty-two brothers martyred, twenty seriously injured, and forty lightly injured!" ”
Looking down at his watch, there were still three hours before the stipulated time, and Wang Guanwu said again: "If we continue to fight like this, we can hold out until dark!" ”
"Hmm!" Goofy was also very satisfied with the results, "Let the brothers do a good job of concealment, the little devils are going to shell again!" ”
"Huh! The little devil will do this! Wang Guanwu shook his head and said, "Those company commanders have already let the brothers into the defensive artillery hole!" ”
"Ready, put!" With the howl of the artillery commander of the army, the twenty Type 92 infantry guns roared again.
Seventeen Type 94 ultralight tanks were also added to the shelling.
"Chirp!" The sound of the grenade breaking through the air was constant at high speed, and the sky was instantly filled with the screeching sound of the shells tearing through the air.
The dark red bullet marks of the road crossed countless arcs and then slammed into Taierzhuang, large and small orange fireballs soared into the air, and the corpses of the officers and soldiers left on the battlefield were completely divided, and the scraps of meat mixed with various fragments flew in the air.
More than 800 people hiding in the sturdy anti-artillery holes silently endured the overwhelming sound of explosions, their bodies trembling in the violent shock waves, their heads bursting from time to time, and the flying dust falling on their heads and faces.
For half an hour, an hour, the artillery bombardment of the Japanese army had no intention of stopping.
"The little devil won't want to blow it all up!" Wang Guanwu wiped the dust from his face and muttered to himself, and then thought that there must be many anti-artillery holes that would collapse in such a fierce shelling, and his face quickly darkened.
"Chirp!" A terrible scream rushed in, and the last observation post in the first trench quickly pounced on the other side of the corner.
"Boom!" The fireball rose into the air from the hidden spot just now, "Puff puff! "The sharp shrapnel screamed and burrowed into the wall of the trench behind the observation post.
The observation post in a cold sweat scolded in a low voice, "Why is the little devil endless! After scolding, he carefully stuck out his head.
At first glance, the observation post, whose face had changed drastically, pounced around the corner, quickly picked up a pile of rubble, grabbed a red rope and pulled it fiercely.
"Jingle Bell! Jingling! "All the anti-artillery holes in the first trench sounded a crisp bell.
The same bell rang at the same time in the anti-gun holes of the other three trenches.
"Get into position!" The roars of the officers rang out in all the anti-artillery holes.
Unexpectedly, this time the devil actually launched a joint attack of infantry artillery, and Gao Fei, whose face changed greatly, rushed out of the anti-artillery hole despite the obstruction of Wang Guanwu.
As if he hadn't seen the fireball exploding around him, Gao Fei rushed straight towards the headquarters set up at the top of the ridge, and behind him, Wang Guanwu and Di Shuangping desperately chased after him.
What he saw through the telescope made Goofy gasp, and seventeen Type 94 ultralight tanks, accompanied by more than 2,000 officers and men, swarmed up the first trench.
"The little devil is going to fight hard!" Wang Guanwu screamed when he saw the army surging up like a turbid rolling yellow current.
With the roar of Lao Hei, who rushed to the position in the face of artillery fire, for a while, the gunfire was loud, and light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles splashed bullets and shells like a torrent of metal on the formation of the army.
Countless scorching bullets weaved into a dense net of fire, and the Type 94 ultra-light tank burst out countless sparks, and the rain of bullets passing through the tanks of the Yue army rushed into the front line of the Yue army.
The entire front line of the Yue army raised a mist of blood flying in the sky, and pieces of officers and soldiers fell to the ground screaming, and the follow-up officers and soldiers howled and stepped on their comrades who were still struggling in a pool of blood and rushed up desperately.
Seventeen Type 94 ultralight tanks marching at full speed raised their muzzles and spat fireballs at the Maxim heavy machine gun position, which was the most heavily fired.
A Makqin heavy machine gun array was firing frantically under the arrogance of the shooters, and in the rain of yellow bullet casings falling into the trenches, the huge fire sickle shaped the officers and men who were getting closer and closer to the officers and men one after another like cutting rice.
Suddenly, a 37mm grenade that came straight exploded the moment it hit the Makqin heavy machine gun, and while the shooter was torn apart, the bulky Makqin heavy machine gun was also blown into the air by a powerful shock wave, and after flying out of three meters, the twist-shaped barrel smashed heavily on the position.
A light and heavy machine gun flew into the sky under the direct fire of the Type 94 ultralight tank.
Accompanied by the light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers behind the infantry, the Chinese officers and soldiers who were desperately shooting at the fallen trenches of the whole squad were also dumped on the first trench like a rain of bullets.
"Shoot!" In the third trench, the commander immediately ordered all fire to be fired.
More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, rifles, and grenadiers roared angrily at the same time.
Led by the third trench, all firing points in the second and third trenches opened fire at full force.
Incalculable grenades and bullets shrouded the army like a raging storm.
In the continuous screams, pieces of officers and men were knocked to the ground by bullets of various calibers, and the powerful heavy machine gun bullets pierced the body of one of the officers and soldiers and then slammed into the officers and men in the back, and the 7.9 mm bullets lost their last momentum, and fell into the stream of blood with blood and liquefied tissue fragments.
Hundreds of 60 millimeters whizzed into the formation, and the sky was littered with human fragments and weapon parts amid the incessant sound of explosions.
The twenty infantry guns of the army were like sharks smelling blood, and the dense artillery fire quickly swept away the heavy fire points exposed in the third and fourth trenches.
In each salvo, several 70-mm grenades were accurately hoisted into the trenches.
With the roar of thunderbolts, heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenadiers flew out of the trenches accompanied by various pieces of human flesh.
"Order the artillery to immediately intercept the shots!" Seeing that the firepower of the first trench was becoming more and more thin, Goofy was forced to use the last firepower in advance.
The gunners of the four 92 infantry guns, who had been anxious for a long time, pulled the gun rope fiercely before the squad leader's signal flag fell, "Knock knock!" "Four 70-millimeter grenades swept over the top of the ridge at an angle of 40 degrees, and after reaching the highest point, they swept four perfect arcs and pounced on the army.
In the midst of the explosion, four crimson fireballs rose from the ground, and sharp shrapnel shot in all directions, cutting through the flesh and blood of the officers and men, and in the incessant screams, the bloody arms, the bleeding heads, and the scarred bodies were also rolling everywhere in the air and on the ground.
"The first cannon is 0-01 dense, the second artillery is 0-02 dense, and the third cannon is three". Under the correction of the artillery observers, a group of plucked bullets appeared to have long eyes, creating a scene of flesh and blood flying in the ranks of the army.
The officers and men who received the death order gritted their teeth and withstood the perverted firepower of the Chinese defenders with tenacity and perseverance.
Four new guns were brought up, and the Type 92 infantry guns set up in the rear fired accurately and curly fire, causing heavy casualties to the attacking troops.
Seventeen Type 94 ultralight tanks lined up in a dense formation, roaring like prehistoric monsters and approaching the first trench.
The Type 94 ultra-light tank coaxial machine gun, the army's light and heavy machine guns, and grenadier firepower were woven into an impermeable net of fire and rolled towards the more than 100 officers and men who were still holding on to the first trench.
In the third trench, Ma Debi looked at the group of Japanese tanks and the locust-like officers and soldiers behind him who were about to rush to the first trench, and shouted angrily with all his strength, "Fire!" ”
Under the suppression of the artillery fire of the Yue army, the powerful fire net composed of more than 40 light and heavy machine guns that remained was still in the shape of the Yue army.
In the midst of the flying flesh, pieces of officers and soldiers fell on the blood-soaked positions.
The 17 Type 94 ultralight tanks that were suppressing the first trench with coaxial machine guns turned their turrets one after another, and the muzzles of the 37mm tanks' black holes pointed at the light and heavy fire points that were still firing in the trenches behind.
"Knock knock!" Seventeen 37-mm grenades screamed and pounced on various firing points.
Listening only to a series of loud "boom-" sounds, a light and heavy machine gun spitting flames became weapon parts flying in the sky under the direct fire of the Type 94 ultralight tank, and the shooters were directly turned into flesh and blood in the sky.
Lao Hei, who was near a Type 92 heavy machine gun, felt a flash of fire in front of him, and in the huge roar, a tyrannical shock wave pushed his body back against the wall of the trench, and in the strong impact, Lao Hei vomited blood and fell unconscious.
And the three soldiers in the heavy machine gun position near him were directly torn to pieces along with the Type 92 heavy machine gun.
There is no way to stop the advance of the tank cluster of the Japanese army!
The four Type 92 infantry guns and the three firing points in the three trenches behind them that fired at their own safety in disregard of their own safety not only killed and injured a large number of the infantry of the Yue Army, but also caused a disconnect between the tanks and the infantry.
