Chapter 417: High Artillery Low Fight
Da-da-da-da
The remaining dozen or so tanks of the Japanese independent tank squadron were like a heavy hammer that smashed into the weak point of the defenders of the 22nd Regiment. In terms of combat strength alone, even if the besieged Mutian United is stronger than the 22nd Regiment, it is definitely not too bad. If Zhang Zizhong and Feng Zhi'an could have more than 20 tanks to run over all the way, the battle would have been resolved long ago.
At this time, it was by no means that Meng Qianshan was unwilling to use his life, but the Japanese army, as an opponent, was an army that was not inferior to them in terms of tactics and will to fight. At this time, the reinforcement of the armored forces on the Japanese army became the key to the victory or defeat of both sides. The cruel truth told Meng Qianshan that a 22 regiment could not stop the onslaught of nearly a wing of Japanese troops reinforced by an independent tank squadron. At least with the Japanese barely counting casualties, the soldiers on both sides were depleting at an alarming rate.
"Your Excellency Yamaguchi, the resistance of the Shina Army is very fierce, our losses are too great, even if we break through the position of the Shina Army in front of us, I am afraid that we will not be able to launch a new attack on the Shina Army again." Itoi said with a gloomy face.
"Smack!" Yoshiichi Yamaguchi slapped Itoi's face hard, "Yaga, put away your little bit of caution, if you can't solve this branch of the army, it's not a matter of whether the loss is big, but how to face the reproach of the division commander and even Commander Kazuki when we go back, now what we have to do is attack, attack, and attack again." Don't worry about the casualties, if you can't break through the positions of the Chinese army, you don't have to come to see me again. ”
"Hay!"
"Sure enough, it was the Northwest Army, worthy of being the strongest army in China, and it was able to block the attack of a wing of the empire with only one regiment. But. It's up to you how long you can hold on. If stubbornly stubbornly cling. There must be a value behind you that you must defend to the death. Yamaguchi's eyes were unabashedly mad, and that crazy gaze seemed to pierce the distance that was almost lit into the night by artillery fire.
"Tom tom"
In the face of the torrent of steel rolling by the Japanese army, several mortars separated by a ditch of more than two meters poured shells on the heads of the Japanese soldiers as fast as possible.
Battalion commander Zhu Liang looked at the corpses lying all over the ground, and the hundreds of robes who ate and lived together and ate together had a miserable face.
"67 battalion! It's time to die for your country! Kill the enemy and serve the country, there is no advance or retreat! Zhu Liang's hoarse voice roared with exhaustion.
"Kill the enemy and serve the country, there is no advance or retreat!"
"Kill the enemy and repay the country. There is no advance or retreat! ”
The 67th Battalion, which usually has more than 500 people, should only drink a few dozen people at this time, and in the sound of artillery fire, the voices of dozens of people are not strong. However, in a desperate situation, there was a burst of tragedy and desolation that was dying, and such scenes have appeared on many anti-Japanese battlefields. It was by no means the first time for the Northwest Army. Zhu Liang's miserable face was also resolute, when he was on the battlefield of Songhu, he was just a small soldier, and at that time he fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Yunyubin, and there were less than ten soldiers left in his battalion plus him. And this time, maybe there are not even ten people. But even so. They have their own reasons why they can't retreat, and behind them is the military headquarters. Where can you retreat?
"Kill!"
In the face of the Japanese steel fists, some soldiers used machine guns to strafe the Japanese soldiers, while the infantry carried cluster grenades, trying to block the advance of these steel giants with their own flesh and blood. But the cruelty of war will never have even a slight pause because of the weakness of one side, and war is only more cruel to the weak than cruel.
Rumble! The fighters carrying the cluster grenades were directly beaten into flesh by the short-barreled guns on the tanks, and the cluster grenades exploded from a long distance. The tracks of the tanks ran over one Northwest Army soldier after another with an unfast, but unusually solid pace.
The Japanese tank group eventually ran over the bodies of these soldiers, and the broken position was trampled under the feet of the Japanese army, and no one in the battalion of more than 500 people, including Zhu Liang, survived.
rumble
"Here, our reinforcements are finally here!" Before Zhu Liang, who had been hit by seven bullets in his body, took his last breath, he saw that the Japanese tanks that were showing off their might turned into big fireballs one after another. Zhu Liang had a smile on his bloodstained face, and when he fell, his eyes were still looking ahead, he wanted to watch these Japanese soldiers being overwhelmed by the artillery fire of the reinforcements, and he wanted to watch for those comrades who had died, these Japanese troops were wiped out, and then go over there to bring such results to his comrades who were already waiting for him there.
Rumble!
The explosions are still ongoing.
"Beat, hit Lao Tzu hard!" Liu Zhanxiong tore off his military hat and arrived in time with the guard battalion and another battalion of the 22nd Regiment. Block the front that could collapse at any time because of the death of Zhu Liang's entire battalion.
However, the predicament at this time has not changed in the slightest, the Japanese tank group in the second mechanized brigade all withdrew, in the defenders of the battle artillery was basically destroyed in the case, all the way invincible, in this extremely tense situation, Liu Zhanxiong with the guard battalion and the 68th battalion arrived can not fundamentally solve the problem, at most, just continue to use the lives of soldiers to block the Japanese attack. However, the only difference is that the Japanese army has also consumed part of the strength before, and this time there is no problem to hold out until dawn. However, Liu Zhanxiong will not be satisfied with just holding on in front of the Japanese army, and the death may not last long, even if it is daytime, with the support of the air force, but the Japanese air force is by no means here to fight soy sauce.
In fact, under the persecution of danger, there will be many emergency means. In World War II, the German army faced the torrent of steel rolling by the Soviet army, and chose to lay down the anti-aircraft artillery when it did not have enough armored troops in its hands. At this time, the same situation appeared in the positions of the Northwest Army. However, the difference is that the tank performance of the Soviet army is not as good as that of the German army, but compared with many powers, it is definitely in the top few. THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS PRODUCED IN THE NORTHWEST ARE INFERIOR TO THE 88MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS PRODUCED BY THE GERMAN ARMY, BUT THE LIGHT TANKS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY ARE MORE THAN A FEW GRADES DIFFERENT FROM THE MAIN BATTLE TANKS OF THE SOVIETS IN WORLD WAR II. At such a distance, even if you change to a Soviet tank, you will definitely be torn apart by the anti-aircraft artillery of Liu Zhanxiong's military headquarters. As for the Japanese tank in front of him, there was a scene that made the Japanese army extremely frightened, the turret of the tank flew directly up several meters and fell down heavily, and the Japanese soldiers following the tank seemed to see the end of the world. The tanks, which were usually difficult to destroy in the eyes of the Japanese army, were torn apart one after another like papier-mâché. Although Liu Zhanxiong's military headquarters did not have enough anti-aircraft artillery, there was no corresponding armored force at this time. HOWEVER, EVERYONE, INCLUDING LIU ZHANXIONG, DID NOT EXPECT THAT THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT ARTILLERY WOULD ACHIEVE SUCH A TERRIFYING EFFECT AFTER IT WAS PLACED FLAT, BOTH IN TERMS OF RATE OF FIRE AND POWER, COMPARED WITH THE 75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY OF THE NORTHWEST ARMY, THE FIELD ARTILLERY WAS MUCH MORE TERRIFYING. The Japanese tanks that rushed to the front were all in flames. Dozens or hundreds of Japanese soldiers were blown into a bloody mess. (To be continued.) )
