Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Tank Is Crushing (Part I)
In fact, the 23rd Wing of the Japanese army was to defend their backs, but they were wiped out by Hartmann with one-third of their troops, and all kinds of heavy weapons were lost, and now they only have more than 2,000 people, and after arriving at the designated position, they only relied on the sappers in their hands to dig a simple trench half a meter deep, not that they didn't want to dig, but Li Mo led the armored division to kill violently.
Vincent was the leader of the whole army, and twelve No. 4 tanks were lined up, and the role of No. 4 tank was to attack the fortifications and at the same time attract the enemy's anti-tank artillery. Behind him is the staggered No. 3 tank, the task of the No. 3 tank is to protect the flank of the No. 4 tank, from the Japanese death squad, the firepower on the No. 3 tank is also very good, two MG42 machine guns, the first and second tanks behind, their task is to hunt the enemy's infantry, the back of the whole team is the side three-wheeled motorcycles, these motorcycles in front of the tank when the enemy, some will be interspersed in the middle of the tank, to provide auxiliary firepower for the tank, Destroy the enemies hiding in the dead spots for the tank.
Li Mo's armored division had more than 1,300 three-wheeled motorcycles, each motorcycle had three people on it, two with P35 submachine guns, one with MG42 submachine guns, a few motorcycles did not have MG42 on them, but there was a 60 mm mortar, and a box of shells, and some motorcycles were towed behind 37 mm anti-tank guns, and the 37 mm guns were only 400 kilograms, and a three-wheeled motorcycle was easily towed away. Li Mo's motorcycle team has three-dimensional crossfire, and at the same time has strong maneuverability and off-road ability.
Rommel also carefully considered when choosing the offensive section, the terrain around Jurong City is flat and there are no rivers, which is very suitable for armored combat, and this kind of terrain without rivers is relatively difficult to find in Jiangnan.
When the two armies met, a fierce battle broke out in an instant, Li Mo's armored division was the main offensive force, and now there was no threat from the air at all, so Li Mo's armored division had absolutely no reservations, the first battle was a decisive battle, and the armored division was pressed by the whole division as soon as it came up.
In order to gain time, the artillery of the armored division was not unraveled, so it directly launched an attack, which was not Li Mo's arrogance, but the reconnaissance planes in the air had already made clear the general situation of the Japanese troops in front of Li Mo, these Japanese soldiers were ragged and bombed by Hartman, they basically had no heavy weapons such as artillery, and there was only one trench dug that was too simple to be in a simple trench, so why did Li Mo waste time for such a Japanese army! You must know that it will take two hours to build an artillery position at the earliest! Li Moke didn't have so much time to entangle with these Japanese soldiers.
All the tanks of the armored division "rumbled" against the Japanese improvised trenches, because there were not many tanks No. 4, the commander of the Rotinburg regiment used a square formation charge, when the tank assault group drove to 300 meters away from the Japanese improvised trenches, they began to charge while shelling the Japanese improvised defensive line, more than 100 tanks plus countless other vehicles, the entire armored division took action, the movement was big, and the violent shaking of the ground made all the Japanese troops tremble.
All the Japanese soldiers were lying in the trenches with their heads in their hands and shivering, the Japanese were really weird, they were very cruel in front of the weak, they were a pug in front of the strong, and Nakajima Man did not have a separate command post, the morale of the soldiers was so low, if it went on like this, there was no way to fight if he was afraid, Major General Nakajima Man pulled out the command knife and roared with all his might:
"Death squads, kill to ......"
The Japanese soldiers of the death squad were driven out of the trenches under the kicking and kicking of their commanders, and of course there were also some very fanatical militarist elements, who let out a desperate roar of "ahh......hh
"Stop the advance and shoot the enemy infantry."
"Boom...... Da Da ...... Ahh!!hhhhh ”
In an instant, most of the tanks aimed their guns at the charging Japanese army, the charging Japanese army was like being cut wheat, and the rows were swept down, the terrifying rate of fire of MG42 was not something that the group charge could resist, if it was a Czech light machine gun, it was almost the same, the battlefield instantly became hell, and the Japanese army who rushed out of the trench only ran out of less than a hundred meters, and all died tragically on the way to the charge under the crossfire purchased by countless MG42 and tank guns, and some Japanese soldiers were also blown into shredded meat by tank guns.
The armored assault group did not stop after eliminating the Japanese death squad, but accelerated its speed to run over the Japanese improvised trenches, Nakajima quickly ordered all the soldiers to get up and shoot at the assault armored group, and the bullets hit the tanks in all directions, but the bullets could only leave a little scratch marks on the tanks, and had no effect on the No. 4 and No. 3 tanks.
"Boom ......"
The only three 37-mm anti-tank guns of the Japanese army opened fire, and one of the Japanese guns was aimed at a No. 4 tank, originally they thought that these No. 4 tanks looked mighty, how could they not stop the 37-mm anti-tank guns, but after the three explosions of the "boom ......", the No. 4 tank was unharmed, but the German tank gun shells that counterattacked the three guns fell like raindrops, and the three 37-mm guns of the little Japanese were beaten into scrap metal after only one shot each.
The tank roared and continued to charge, those Japanese soldiers who came out were wantonly harvested by the MG42 and tank guns on the tank, the Japanese army did not have enough anti-tank means, it could only be a one-sided slaughter, the Japanese army was completely desperate now, and the Japanese army in complete despair was extraordinarily ferocious, Nakajima stared at the German tanks that were getting closer and closer with a pair of dead fish eyes, looking at his soldiers being slaughtered by the tanks at will, and at the same time there were damn small-caliber mortars, Always bombarding his improvised trenches endlessly, one or two Japanese soldiers were blown up in one shot, Nakajima was full of complete despair, today is the time for the jade to be broken, today is the time to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
Nakajima drew his command knife and shouted again with a hissed voice:
"All-Army Assault...... Kill to ...... Long live Your Majesty the Locust......"
Nakajima Man also rushed out of the trench with a command knife, and the remaining officers and soldiers of the brigade headquarters also followed Nakajima Man to launch a decisive charge, yes, this is a decisive charge, the remaining more than 1,000 Japanese troops all rushed out of the trenches, crying, shouting and rushing out, the commander of the Rotingburg regiment saw that all the Japanese troops had launched a charge, and hurriedly let the tanks listen to it and shoot on the spot, and at the same time called the motorcycles behind to come up for reinforcements.
"Dada...... Boom...... Ahh!!hhhhh ”
The tanks are shooting frantically, the Japanese army is charging frantically, using human lives to collide with the torrent of steel, and its fate is absolutely tragic, not to mention that the motorcycle troops of the Flying Eagle Legion also quickly caught up with reinforcements, countless fire nets are intertwined, the Japanese army's decisive charge is doomed to be ineffective, and what awaits them can only be a one-sided slaughter, which is the fate of the invaders.
