Chapter 280: Trench Broomstick

readx; The engine of the chariot roared, and Yixian, as a battleground since ancient times, has been the most complete fortification after thousands of years of accumulation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Later, the Eastern Army was stationed in Yixian County, and the fortifications built by the former Northeast Army were reinforced or renovated to make them play a greater role.

If you want to stop the enemy's infantry, you only need a regiment or so of soldiers to be stationed here, and even a division is difficult to pass through in a short time.

But this is only when faced with pure infantry, once they encounter a large number of artillery or armored units.

Under the premise that you lack heavy firepower, all this will be a nightmare.

They couldn't stop the torrent of steel from crossing it, though hiding inside the fortifications would keep them safe for the time being.

But once the opposing infantry follows closely, all the fortifications will lose their due effect.

Large and well-developed fortifications were not prepared for trench warfare with the enemy, but to repel the enemy before he could reach the fortifications.

Erdan followed behind a light tank, and his pace increased again and again.

This new type of tank is so damn that it is not at all the same as what the commanders say, and the commanders say that it is the happiest thing to follow their tank charge.

Since the tank will help you block most bullets, and the tank's main gun will help you get rid of the devil's heavy fire, you just have to cover the tank and try not to let the enemy soldiers get close as much as possible.

But now Erdan didn't feel that he was covering the tank at all, so Erdan could only take a step and follow closely behind the tank.

Even if the tank had slowed down properly, the speed of twenty or thirty yards was still not something he could keep up with on foot.

If he is too far away from the tank, he is the one who is unlucky. The devil can also follow this gap and directly kill the infantry hiding behind the tank.

Bazooka was particularly useless at this time, because with the help of tanks, it seemed that they were not needed here at all.

Although the firepower of the new tank is far inferior to that of the T34/85, such firepower can still beat it in the face of devils.

looked at the nervous devils on the other side, and wanted to scold his mother angrily, is this the fucking Kwantung Army? Is it the most elite unit in the army?

Could it be that we used to fight against such an army? When we charged, did they not even make a powerful block?

From the beginning of the charge to the present, only one bullet has flown along Erdan's body, and other than that, Erdan has not been threatened by anything else.

This is completely different from what everyone said before, where is there any bullet rain here? Some are just massacres, they are unilateral massacres.

The tanks soon began to slow down, and the Kwantung Army's fortifications were trench-type, and the wide trenches made it impossible for the tanks to easily cross them.

The cunning Kwantung Army used a two-trench tactic here, that is, a slightly narrower trench in the rear for the soldiers to defend, and a large pit about two meters deep and five meters wide in diameter in front.

To put it bluntly, in order to cushion the pressure of the enemy when they charge, with this fortification, the infantry cannot reach the rear fortifications smoothly, and the chariots can only stop on the opposite bank, this depth is simply not something they can cross.

And the Marines apparently did not expect this to be the case. Before, I only knew that they were coming here, and I rarely inquired about intelligence or anything, after all, this was the mission area of the army before, and now most of the army has gone to the front, and no one has explained these things to them.

Building a bridge is obviously an impossible thing, in the middle of the battlefield, there is no time to build a bridge for them, and once the two-meter-high depth tank goes down, it is difficult to come up again.

It's one thing whether it can even go on safely, and if you're not careful, the tank will have the possibility of overturning.

After seeing this situation, the soldiers of the Marine Corps were also dumbfounded, if they were not afraid of the river, they would just swim over, but this was a deep pit.

They even dared to guarantee that as long as they dared to go down, the little devil would definitely keep throwing grenades inside, and then the casualties would not be a slight.

In an enclosed space, a grenade can often produce the power of a cannonball, and in this case, everyone dare not be careless.

"Battalion commander, what should I do? The pit is too deep for the tanks to go down, and the soldiers can't get up after they go down, and the danger is very great. The only bridge was also blown up by the devils. ”

A captain anxiously ran to the side of a major and reported the situation ahead.

At this time, the major was also anxious, they still had a lot of tasks, and they had to go to other places after clearing this county seat, so they couldn't stay in this one place all the time.

And they also have the help of more than a dozen tanks, if they are trapped here by just one or two thousand devils, wouldn't it be a shame to spread it?

What face will the Marines have in front of the Army in the future? This was the first battle of the Marines, and it was a crucial one.

The major thought about it left and right, but he couldn't think of a suitable solution, so he couldn't help but take out the binoculars again and look ahead, after a long time, the major frowned deeply and decided to take a gamble, he couldn't be trapped here, and he had to deal with the Kwantung Army in front as soon as possible.

"Let the soldier take a shell from the tank and throw it at this end of the pit, and then all retreat, the sniper detonates the bomb and blows up a gap, and the main gun of the tank bombs the opposite side of the crater, and it must blow up a slope."

The major said.

Now it is only in this way, the grenade does not know when it will blow up a gap, and a two-meter-deep crater is nothing for some heavy tanks.

In such a right-angled pit, sometimes heavy tanks will collapse before they can get to the front, but this is not necessarily the case for light tanks, and they dare not take this risk, so they can only blow a gap with shells first.

If nothing else, as long as this shell can blow a place and a half meters deep and about two meters wide, a right-angled ditch of one and a half meters is not a problem at all for tanks.

And through observation, the major also knew what they needed to do, the slope did not matter, and even to put it mildly, as long as there was a slope of thirty or forty centimeters, the tank could go down safely.

As the so-called artist is bold, the major really has no choice at this moment, if the tank could fire directly at the ground, he would have let the tank open a gap by itself.

It's just a pity that the negative elevation angle does not allow their barrels to fire directly at the ground.

Soon, a soldier carried a shell from the tank, the weight of the shell was not heavy, and there was no problem in running with one person in it.

Immediately after that, under the cover of the tank, a soldier began to throw shells from behind the tank, and then the tank also began to reverse urgently, and when they reached a certain position, the snipers who had already been prepared in the rear began to shoot at the shells.

'Boom! Rumble! ’

Before the Kwantung Army could understand what was going on, they heard a loud explosion.

Even though the earth trembled, they were less than ten meters away from the explosion of the shells, and even with the cover of cover, shrapnel did not do them much harm.

But the huge shock still made them feel doubly uncomfortable, and even some Kwantung Army soldiers spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling a huge pain coming from their bodies.

But this is only the experience of a small number of Kwantung Army, at a specific angle, a specific distance will cause such an effect, it can only be said that the luck of those Kwantung Army is really not very good, if you change the angle a little, you will not end up like this.

The shells of the tank are not heavy artillery shells, and their power is much smaller than that of heavy guns, and the penetration ability is more strong, and the explosion range is far less than that of other ordinary guns.

But Rao is like this, and there are still several explosions in front of him.

Seeing this, the tank driver no longer hesitated, and immediately adjusted the angle of the gun, aiming at the slope at the other end and firing fiercely.

Now the devils are not very comfortable, because of the distance before, the damage to them is not so great. But now? The explosion point of the shell was less than three meters away from them, and many soldiers were hit without paying attention.

After the first blow was successful, the tank increased its speed again, and ran directly towards the gap that had just begun to be bombed.

Now this pit is nothing to them, and it cannot stop them at all, and the only effect it can do is delay them for a few seconds.

But this little time for the tank, there is no need to worry about it, there is no slightest effect.

Erdan followed closely behind a tank, first along the back of the tank's ass into the deep pit, and then followed the tank up a slope, so that Erdan could already see the trench where the devil was.

Looking at the devils who were shivering in the trenches and took out their rifles to shoot at them, without the slightest hesitation, they directly squatted down, took a grenade from their clothes, opened the safety and threw it directly.

'Boom! ’

There was a loud bang, there were nine out of ten devils in the trenches, and Erdan clenched his MP40 submachine gun, and about three or four seconds after the grenade exploded, a dodge jumped directly into the trench.

Looking at the messy trenches, Erdan was very satisfied with this effect, and nodded secretly in his heart. However, the movements of his hands did not dare to have any slackness.

After the other soldier also jumped into the trench and formed a back-to-back with Erdan, Erdan began to walk forward slowly, carefully observing every corner, but wherever it was possible to hide people, before advancing, Erdan must first carefully observe.

'Da Da Da ......'

A devil suddenly flashed out and wanted to shoot at Erdan, but how could Erdan, who had been prepared, let him succeed? At the moment when the devil flashed out, Erdan gently pulled the trigger.

Five or six bullets instantly knocked the devil into a sieve, and countless bullet holes appeared on his body in an instant.

Although the MP40 has a poor range and is far less powerful than the Garand rifle, it cannot be denied that it is indeed an excellent submachine gun.

After sacrificing so many conditions, the MP40 is exchanged for low recoil and high shooting accuracy. In this kind of trench warfare, this is undoubtedly like a trench broom, not harvesting the lives of the devils at any time.

The Marine Corps is a newly established unit, and it is not even three months old, but Su Dao has invested a lot in this unit, and the equipment is basically the same as the infantry, and they have all the infantry, except for the 75-mm infantry gun, which they don't need.

However, Su Dao equipped them with enough Bazooka and flamethrowers, Bazooka played a vital role in the early landing, and the flamethrowers played a very important role in the later sweeps, and the two combined with each other were completely invincible.

And the main and deputy squad leaders are all equipped with MP40 submachine guns, which greatly improves the firepower of the Marine Corps, even if it is the Army, with the same strength, it may not be able to beat the Marine Corps. (To be continued.) )
