Section 66 The 108th Division's First Experience on the Battlefield (2)

Five Type 89B tanks formed a herringbone queue and started slowly, the J-3 inline six-cylinder diesel engine instantly increased to 120 horsepower, and the 13-ton body shook violently, with a gurgling smoke, and launched an attack on the opposite Chinese position; Behind them were two squadrons of the Takei Brigade, the leaders of which were surnamed Miura and Kanmasa. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The distance between the positions of the two sides is not very far, Type 89B suppressed the speed as much as possible, and saw that it had entered the firing range, the 6.5mm light machine gun in the circular cockpit fired a quick point of fire, and the bullet splashed a little smoke and dust in front of the Chinese position, this shot was a signal, followed by the remaining four tanks in action, and at the same time covered with light machine gun fire, da, da, da! Bursts of gunfire rang out, and even though the Chinese army was brave, it was finally unable to compete with the steel bullets, and it was completely suppressed by the Japanese army; The occasional reluctance to resist the bullets flew by, and it was impossible to pose a threat to the tank.

"Commander, the people of China have no ability to resist at all!" In the tank, machine gunner Anton turned his head triumphantly and shouted.

"Marching with all our might, let's not entangle with the Chinese people, that is the task of our army comrades. We just need to push forward as much as possible and tear apart the front of the Chinese army! ”

"Hah!" Yu Cun happily agreed, pulled the forward gear back to the '1' position, the speed was a little slower than just now, but the strength of the march was greater, looking at the twisted roadblocks in front of him and the broken barbed wire fence as if there was nothing, and to the left and right of it were comrades who also increased their horsepower. Not far ahead, there was a gentle slope much higher than the altitude, like a deceleration ridge, the tank simply ignored it, and smoke came out from behind the buttocks, under the action of power, like a dolphin rushing out of the water, the thick body jumped up!

The front end of the tank crossed the gentle slope, and Yu Village was suddenly shocked: the trenches of the Chinese army were too wide! The tank may not be able to rush through? This thought flashed, and before he had time to react, the front end of the tank was downward, and he made an inverted onion action, and the short-barreled 57-mm tank gun (in fact, a howitzer, the Japanese army was not equipped with a long-barreled 47-mm cannon until 39 years later) wedged straight into the oncoming dirt!

The Chinese soldiers cheered! "Come on, blow it up for me!" A soldier picked up a bundle of cluster bombs, drew the fuse as he sped along the trench, and was about to throw it out when a sudden burst of bullets flew from the side, causing him to fly on the spot, and the body hit the mud wall on the side, and a bundle of grenades came off - it was the second tank that jumped up!

Although this tank saved the life of its comrades, it did not have such a good luck, and it was also unable to regain momentum, and it crashed headlong, not to mention, the grenade that the sacrificial soldier got out of his hand fell right in the middle of its tracks, and a muffled roar was like thunder, and the 13-ton body jumped on the spot, followed by another violent explosion - the Japanese army found that it was the shell in the car that exploded when cleaning the battlefield!

The armor of Type 89B was only 17 mm, and it could not withstand the explosion of 100 howitzer shells from inside, and the entire circular cockpit and base were blown off, like a rotten watermelon thrown from the upper floor, and the blood was mixed with the fragments of limbs and shattered parts, and it ejected in all directions, not only frightened the Chinese troops who came over into an exclamation, but the first tank not far away that was still struggling to twist its body, but also crackled the debris that rained down, and the four members inside were already dizzy. At this moment, I was even more frightened and screamed, and even the outside of the tank was clearly audible!

At this moment, the third tank also fell, and then the fourth, this car was in the worst situation, it had already seen the tragic situation of its comrades, the track had just crossed the dirt slope, and then began to do steering movements, I didn't want the solidity of the dirt slope to be lower than expected, the weight of the tank itself was too large, there was a loud bang, the body turned over on its side, and it fell flat in the tunnel, like a miserable turtle, with its feet facing the sky! The tracks on both sides are still rotating, but there is no room for them to play anymore!

The last tank was the only one who survived, and the body moved left and right, gradually smoothing the dirt slope in front of it, but the people in the car also quickly discovered that the trench was too wide, and with the width of the body of 89B, it was definitely impossible to pass, "Commander, what should I do?" ”

"Cunning Shina man!" The commander cursed, looked left and right randomly, he was also anxious, and shouted: "Steering, 90° steering, cover your comrades with a vehicle-mounted machine gun, you must hold on until the arrival of your infantry comrades, quickly!" ”

"Yes!" The driver moved the body, retreated two or three meters away, and then began to turn, at the same time, the light machine gun on the side of the circular cockpit began to spit out tongues of fire violently, they were in a condescending position, the movements of the Chinese soldiers were in full view, the fire was covered, more than a dozen soldiers howled and fell headlong, in front of them was obviously the Japanese tank that had lost its flexibility, but it couldn't even do such a simple action as getting in front of the enemy!

The two squadrons of the Japanese army following behind the tanks also discovered the difficulties encountered by the friendly forces, and Miura and Sugamasa didn't think much about it, turned their heads and ordered: "Charge!" We must rescue our fallen comrades! ”

The Japanese wasps roared like nests, picked up their rifles, and began to charge under the leadership of their own officers, advancing less than ten meters, and suddenly there was a Czech-style roar from the salient of the Chinese position! "Dada

More than a dozen devils screamed and fell, and Miura lay on the ground as soon as the gunshots rang out, "The enemy is in the front protrusions on the left and right, Kan Changjun, you are right, I am left!" ”

"Good!" Kan picked up a rifle and quickly pulled the trigger, both to fight back and to point out the direction for his subordinates, while shouting: "Shoot, shoot!" ”

One hundred and ten rifles fired in unison, which immediately suppressed the firepower of the Chinese army, Kan Chang got up, and just as he was about to continue to move forward, another row of bullets flew by, and three or two devils fell in response! Kan Chang's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that the enemy's firepower point had changed its position! "Damn it! The first and second teams of grenadiers organized a counterattack on the spot, and they must suppress the firepower of the Chinese people! ”

The Japanese army is organized with a squad as the smallest unit, each squad has a grenadier group, equipped with two Taisho 10-year grenadier canisters, this is an early model, the regular troops have changed to the model, better performance of the 89 type, but the 108th division has not yet had such treatment, can only continue to use the inferior old armament, having said that, but it is also the Chinese army can not match the heavy firepower, two grenadiers quickly took off the grenadiers, through visual inspection of the adjustment rod to the corresponding length, the movement of the skillful oblique standing in front of the body, Before he could pull the belt, suddenly several bullets flew by, killing one on the spot!

"Bastard!" Another ammunition man did not care about his comrades, picked up the grenadier, pulled the belt, and with a bang, the 0.7-kilogram grenade flew out of the barrel, crossed a parabola in the air, and landed behind the Chinese position. The ammunition man did not panic, and readjusted as quickly as possible, and the second gun was much more accurate, exploding at the edge of the Chinese army's firing point position, and then the third, fourth, and fifth grenades landed accurately in the trench, blowing up billowing gunsmoke, and the Chinese gunners quickly fell silent.

Kan Chang praised loudly, jumped up with an arrow step, picked up his rifle, "Charge!" ”

Who knew that things in the world were so strange, the Japanese army didn't move, and just took a step, there were a few more gunshots! Kan Chang fell to the ground for the third time, and he was almost so angry that he lost his mind! "What's going on? Where to shoot? ”

"Squadron leader, it's still the firepower of the Chinese army just now!"

"Isn't it already wiped out?"

"Looks like it's not yet."

"Yaga! Do you need to say this? (To be continued.) )
