Chapter Seventy-Eight: What a Waste
Xu Sansi couldn't help but speed up the pace of his feet, getting closer and closer to the battlefield in front of him, the brothers of the tank regiment had already broken into the Yue army formation, and it was a joy to fight at this moment, and even the terrifying 85 mm tank gun forgot to use it, and the two machine guns couldn't stop spitting flames, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the surrounding Yue army soldiers.
Occasionally, a few bullets hit the tank's body, but that could not shake the heavy armor of the T-34, both enemy and its own.
Tank clusters go straight behind enemy lines, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can disrupt the defensive deployment of the army and open up an offensive channel for the large forces behind. The disadvantage is also obvious, the tanks without infantry protection make them have to snuggle up tightly, and the distant troops do not matter, especially those close to the army.
Due to the limitation of the field of vision and the angle of fire, when the army ran to a certain distance, if they deliberately lowered their bodies, the machine gunners in the tank could not kill the opponent. At this time, infantry is often needed to deal with the enemies around you, with tanks providing cover for infantry and infantry taking out nearby enemies for tanks.
But at this time, there is no infantry around the tank cluster, so the distance between the two tanks can only be reduced, and once an army runs to the surrounding tanks, the tank next to him will quickly send him a few bullets to see Aunt Amaterasu.
Because of the scarcity of tanks in Huaxia, Su Dao did not want the soldiers to think that they had such advanced tanks, so they did not put the enemy in their eyes, and he also did not want the soldiers to be afraid because they felt that tanks were scarce and expensive. Therefore, when formulating the military discipline of the tank regiment, some other regulations were also deliberately added.
For example, if you are surrounded by your own infantry, the tank crew can freely advance according to the battlefield situation after ensuring that the enemy has no anti-tank fire and no artillery threat. If there is no infantry around the tank, you will need to gather the tanks together to provide fire protection from each other.
Tanks are mercilessly harvesting the lives of a famous soldier, some fall under the machine guns, and some are directly crushed into meat sauce by the tank tracks. Due to the full use of the protection of the surrounding tanks, so far except for the tank regiment commander Liu Guodong's tank whose tracks were damaged and could not be driven, there were no other tanks that could not participate in the battle.
"Camp, no, the firepower in front is too fierce, and there is cover on the little devil's side, so our bullets can't hit anyone at all." A correspondent of the first company quickly ran to Xu Sansi and reported the situation ahead.
"Damn, you're not going to blow up Lao Tzu with mortars? Hurry up, if our fifth battalion is not the first to break through to the position of the army this time, Lao Tzu will push your company commander to the end. Xu Sansi glanced at the surrounding situation, except for Lao Yang's third battalion, the progress was about the same as his own, and the rest of the troops were still far behind, and Xu Sansi, who had the idea of competition, naturally looked a little anxious.
"Battalion, we didn't bring mortars this time, we all stored them in the second company." The signal soldier replied with some grievances, if it wasn't for the rush this time, how could he have placed the mortars in the second company behind? At this time, the strongest firepower of a company is those machine guns, but the machine guns are helpless to not penetrate the bunker of the army's position, although it is a temporary position, but it does not deny the elite of the army.
"Go back and let your company retreat, and Lao Tzu will go and transfer the mortar." Xu Sansi suddenly reacted, it seemed that he had asked the first company to put all the mortars there in the second company, so he had to order.
Originally, it was planned to let the mortars attack directly, but this attack Xu Sansi happened to be self-defeating, and temporarily reorganized the second company into a mortar company, almost all the mortars in the battalion were in the second company, and the rest of the companies did not have a mortar, the purpose was mainly to quickly break through.
Originally, with the perverted power of MG34 and the fierce firepower of M1 Garand, it was enough to deal with these Japanese troops in front of them, but no one expected that the Japanese army would build a position in a short period of time, although it was only temporary, but hiding behind the cover would give you a shot from time to time, which was indeed difficult to deal with. At this time, the second company was carrying a large number of mortars and shells, and its movement was relatively slow, if they had waited for them to come over to do it, it was estimated that Lao Yang's third battalion would have broken through the position long ago.
"Dog, give the second company a flag, tell them the coordinates, and let them blow up the place for Lao Tzu as quickly as possible." Xu Sansi pointed to the obstructed place ahead.
At present, due to the lack of radio in the grassroots troops, it is common to use flag language to communicate when requesting artillery support. The dog quickly took out the flag and gestured at the rear randomly, and many people couldn't understand what it meant anyway.
The second company, which received the order, quickly left a few fighters behind, and immediately assembled the scattered mortars while disassembling a few boxes of shells, but they still seemed to be moving much later, and just after the mortars were assembled, they heard a burst of sharp cannon sound overhead.
The cannonball sped through the air, emitting its own characteristic roar, angrily tearing the air apart, accompanied by a roar and the sound of the air tearing, forming a terrifying sound.
'Boom! Rumble! Rumble! A few shells accurately fell into the bunkers of the Japanese army, and instantly blew up the opponent, and the bunkers were overturned by the huge heat wave and the random shock of the shells, leaving only countless broken corpses and huge craters on the ground.
"Fuck, these artillerymen are hairy? Lao Tzu let my mortars blow up, who let you grandsons blow up? ! Xu Sansi scolded angrily at the artillery position in the rear, and quickly turned to look at the position in front, and then breathed a sigh of relief, but the anger in his heart was still difficult to swallow.
If it weren't for the soldiers of the previous company who retreated in time, it is estimated that this shelling would have been bombarded by the devil and his own people, the more Xu Sansi thought about it, the more angry he became, the grandson of the artillery was like a war and wanted to go crazy. If you can't grab the task of howitzers and heavy artillery, the fuck will come to grab the task of our mortars, if this battle is like this, then what a fart?
"Dog, hurry up and ask the second company to stop the shelling, it's too late, and the fuck will really blow yourself up." Xu Sansi, who suddenly thought of something, quickly changed his face and hurriedly shouted.
Just now I sent an order to the second company, but the artillery gang happened to see it, and then the itchy hand directly opened the artillery, the mission target has been cleared by the regiment's 75mm field artillery, so his mortar naturally does not need to be fired, in order to avoid accidental injury, Xu Sansi hurriedly issued another order to stop the shelling.
Since there were not so many high-rise buildings and not so much industrial pollution in this era, standing on top of the city tower, it was enough to see the environment within a few kilometers. In the distance on Linyi City, Pang Bingxun held the telescope tremblingly in his hand, looked there in disbelief, and muttered in a low voice: "What the hell is this war?" A stronghold blocked the offensive line, it was a burst of artillery bombardment, it was really rich, first it was a large-caliber artillery bombardment, then a tank charge, and now it was a 75-mm caliber artillery bombardment, what else did these people not take out? ”
