Chapter 82: Heavy Damage to the Fifth Division
Xu Sansi followed closely behind a tank, and the bullets hit the body of the tank one by one, making a clanging sound, if it was in the past, he would definitely be worried that the other party would break through the cover in front of him, but now, they don't have to worry about this problem at all.
The huge body of the T-34 is enough to provide cover for a squad or even more soldiers, ten tanks can provide cover for at least a hundred infantry soldiers, and with the tank gun, and the two defensive machine guns on the tank join the cover sequence, it is easy for a battalion of their troops to rush to the position of the army.
Without heavy fire cover, there seemed to be no other way to stop the attack of the 813th Regiment except to hit their own bullets on the body of the T-34 at this time. The first battalion went forward about two hundred meters, the second echelon composed of the second battalion had already rushed forward, another two hundred meters or so, and the third echelon composed of three battalions rushed forward again, and the attack of the 813th regiment was divided into four echelons.
Due to the lack of tanks, in order to minimize the casualties caused by the charge, they could only arrange one battalion of troops to rush forward at a time. And with troops in the front fighting with the army, it is much easier for the troops in the rear to rush up.
'Smack! ’
Xu Sansi's sneaky cat was behind the tank, aimed at an outcropping soldier and pulled the trigger, and the bullet instantly fired out of the chamber of the gun, rushing forward at high speed, until it penetrated the body of the soldier and drilled into the mound of dirt behind him.
In infantry and tank joint operations, the infantry still chooses to squat behind the tank more often to make it as safe as possible to reach the battlefield as safely, so as to fight the enemy more effectively.
The tank in front of him suddenly increased its speed, Xu Sansi understood that they were about to charge, and at the same time warned the infantry behind them to be careful. Tanks and infantry fight, in fact, there is no comparable surname between the two arms at all. At long range, the tank is absolutely superior to the infantry, the tank gun can bombard the opposing infantry at will, and the defensive machine gun can shoot the opposing infantry at will.
And close combat is the last thing the tank soldiers want to do, because they don't know when the enemy will give them a grenade, although the armor of the tank is not afraid of grenades, but it can't withstand the opponent to blow up the track.
"Brothers, rush!" Seeing that the tanks in front of them were getting faster and faster, Xu Sansi also gave the order to charge, at this time they were less than 100 meters away from the position of the Yue army, and it was only a few tens of seconds to rush over, plus the shock caused by the tank charge in front, the damage that the army could really cause to them was limited.
The reality was not much different from what Xu Sansi expected, and there were indeed very few soldiers on their own side who were hit, because the army put more energy on how to destroy the tanks, because they knew that once the opponent's tanks entered their positions, let alone block the enemy's infantry, these ten tanks alone would be enough for them to drink a pot.
Dozens of tanks broke into the encirclement of tens of thousands of Japanese troops, bringing thousands of casualties to the Japanese army, while the Chinese side did not lose a single tank. It was nothing to be killed by the tank's defensive machine guns, they were afraid that they would be crushed to death by the tank's tracks, and that kind of death was so miserable that no one wanted that when they died, it would be a mess of meat.
"It's strange, I don't think the tanks used by other troops are much different from the 99th Army, but why can the 99th Army use tanks so skillfully?" Pang Bingxun on the rear city wall deeply revealed his doubts, and the flares in the air illuminated the entire battlefield, as if it was daytime, and Pang Bingxun could even see the location of each soldier very clearly.
"Seat, the tanks of the 99th Army are different from the tanks of other troops, just now the post also thought about it, and felt that the reason why the 99th Army was able to use the tank so skillfully was due to the surname of this tank, and the heavy defensive armor made the army helpless against them, and the battle in the morning was a good proof, a tank was obviously hit by three shells of the army, except that it could not move, it did not lose its combat effectiveness. In one is the firepower configuration of this tank, the army is not its opponent at all. A staff officer beside Pang Bingxun said meaningfully, since the launch, he has been constantly studying the tactics of the 99th Army, on the surface, the tactics of the 99th Army are very simple, but in fact, such a simple tactic requires the cooperation of many advanced equipment to complete.
"Hey, I really envy that kid Su Dao for being able to get such powerful equipment." Pang Bingxun smiled bitterly and shook his head, there are people on it, and the effect is different.
"Let our troops on both wings speed up, the 813 regiment has fought with the devils, we can't pull other people's hind legs, and we can't let the central army of our family look at it." Pang Bingxun then spoke, now he naturally listed Su Dao's 99th Army as Jiang Guangtou's descendant troops, otherwise, what other army in China could get such equipment?
At the same time, a new offensive began in troops from other directions throughout the battlefield, and after a few hours of rest, the fighters recovered their physical strength well, and as for sleep, it did not seem to be a problem. In wartime, it's normal to not sleep for a day or two, and it's only a day and a night, and those big scenes are often a dozen months, is it possible that people can still fall asleep to death?
The night's battle passed quickly, and the battle of the 813th Regiment ended in only an hour and a half, and the powerful firepower and absolute superiority in numbers made them completely useless when facing the strength of a wing of the Japanese Army, and at the same time, the soldiers of the 40th Army saw how the 99th Army fought.
In the past, their most headache stabbing seems to be a matter of the 99th Army, a little farther away will give you a shot, close to the three of them to cooperate, whoever seizes the opportunity will stab you, it's as simple as that. In addition, the tanks rampaged in the positions of the Yue Army, and directly crushed many soldiers of the Yue Army, which made the officers and men of the 40th Army a little frightened.
The battle here was soon over, and the soldiers of the 813th Regiment were left with only the wounded and some of the soldiers to collect the guns and ammunition left behind by their troops and the bodies of the fallen soldiers, after which they supported each other and withdrew. Now the mountains are their temporary stronghold, and a small number of logistics units and temporary field hospitals are still there. Besides, the M1 Garand rifle will never stay here to cheapen the 40th Army, at most, they will not rob them of the 38 covers left behind.
However, what people did not expect was that even though the 99th Army and the 40th Army carried out an all-round encirclement of the Yue Army, the Fifth Division still broke through the encirclement from the direction of Linyi, and the 40th Army, which was collecting weapons from the Yue Army, did not have time to react at all, and was instantly defeated by the Yue Army.
Immediately after that, more soldiers began to escape from the encirclement, and Su Dao's plan to annihilate the Fifth Division was also bankrupt.
