Chapter 63: Tanks Go to War
"Battalion commander, we are surrounded by little devils, what should we do?" The bloodied face of the third company commander panted over, but was hit by a grenade, and after Sun Jin, who was pushed by the anger, turned over and got up, the third company commander was left with only a few pieces of tattered military uniform and one leg still in place. Sun Jin, who trembled his lips, looked at the few pieces of cloth that were still smoking, his mind was in chaos, looking at the soldiers around him who were knocked down by the bullets and shrapnel of the Japanese army from time to time, he began to regret it, regretted that he did not follow Zhao Zhi's arrangement to stay in the county seat, if it wasn't for his own hot head, he would not have caused the troops to fall into a heavy siege and kill so many soldiers.
"Battalion commander, battalion commander, what shall we do? Are you talking? "The commander of the company dragging the injured leg shook Sun Jin, but the latter just didn't say a word, the heavy casualties of his soldiers had already made Sun Jin a mess, and all he had left now was deep regret." Break through, immediately break through in the direction of the county seat" The commander of the first company saw that Sun Jin did not react at all, so he had to take over Sun Jin's command, and took the rest of the soldiers to carry Sun Jin and began to retreat in the direction of the county seat. But how could the Sato Brigade, which had already completed the encirclement, allow them to escape so easily, and the Japanese soldiers who surrounded them in layers had already sealed their escape routes.
"Boom" was another grenade grenade, drowning Sun Jin and the two soldiers holding him in the smoke, which was lucky, most of the shrapnel was blocked by the soldiers protecting Sun Jin, he was only injured in one leg by shrapnel, and it was not a fatal injury. "Let's go, retreat to the mountain" The company commander pressed the bullet into the chamber of the gun while organizing the manpower to rush up the hillside, and only by occupying the commanding heights could they have a chance to live. The Japanese guns became more and more intensive, and more and more soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fell, and the commander of the company, who was easy to rush up the hill with people, looked back and saw that there were less than 100 soldiers who rushed out, and many of the soldiers' weapons could not be found.
"Stop the attack, fence the mountain, there is no food and water, I see how long they can hold out" Sato Guard, who looked arrogant, stopped the attack, in his opinion, the Eighth Route Army that rushed up the mountain was a Jedi, what can such a bare mountain do, as long as this place is surrounded to death, those Eighth Route Army on the mountain who have no way to escape will be dead sooner or later. Sato did this to reduce the casualties of his troops, and he had a deep understanding of the truth of the trapped beast, but he never expected that it was because of his decision that his Sato brigade entered the process of destruction early.
"Inform the hammer to shell the No. 4 area, don't save shells, and be sure to repel the Japanese troops besieging the county town for me" Zhao Zhi didn't have time to deal with Sun Jin, who was besieged on the mountain, and he now needed to face the two Japanese brigades that rushed to besiege. The resilience of this 225 Wing is really strong enough, after losing heavy weapons and supply ammunition, they still want to take Zhangwu County, and if they don't give them some powerful killing moves, these guys will not despair.
All the long-range firepower in Zhao Zhi's hands is concentrated in the hands of the hammer Chekov, those tanks and ironclad vehicles are well hidden in the pit dug by the people of the county, and the cannonballs can be hit on the Japanese front outside the county from the location of the pit, this ability Zhao Zhi's last killing move was used when the Japanese army attacked the city, and now due to Sun Jin's misjudgment, the defensive strength in the county is weak, and Zhao Zhicai has to use it in advance to deal with the offensive of the two brigades of the 225th Wing.
"Guys, it's time for us to play, show your skills and show the guys from the other squads" Chekov, who had been hiding in the pit, screamed, and drove his tank out of the pit, and the tanks and ironclads in the other pits also drove out of the pit and stopped in the positions that had been calibrated a long time ago. In order to train the mercenaries to operate tanks and ironclad vehicles, Zhao Zhi took out all the fuel reserves to support them, and the captured shells of the same caliber were even more at their disposal, and now Chekov's hit rate has increased from the original forty percent to sixty percent, and the bombardment of the position that has been calculated a long time ago is not a problem.
With the start of the attack, the Japanese machine guns began to fire at the Eighth Route Army on the city wall, and the powerful firepower has successfully suppressed the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Company on the city wall, and the howling Japanese sappers rushed to the city gate with explosives, they were preparing to blow up the city gate to facilitate the large army to enter the city. "Boom", "boom", "boom" The shells that fell from the sky fell into the covering fire group of the Japanese army, and the smoke formed by the explosion engulfed the Japanese machine gun group, and the Japanese sappers who were about to run to the city gate were even more dizzy by the bombardment, and the smoke in the sky made it impossible for them to find the location of the city gate at all.
"Keep firing, sir, don't pity these shells" Chekov, who was standing on the top of the tank, hissed and laughed, just stomped his foot, and the tank under him fired another shell with a "pass". "Mortars and grenadiers move forward, ironclad vehicles cover" Chekov not only has tanks and armored vehicles in his hands, but also all the mortars and half of the grenadiers in Zhao Zhi's hands, and the range of tanks is longer than mortars, so Chekov had to order ironclad vehicles to go forward to cover the mortars and grenadier squads.
The artillerymen carrying mortars and grenadiers rushed forward according to the route set a long time ago, and the ammunition men followed closely with heavy shell boxes, and it was easy to have the opportunity to carry out artillery battles to their heart's content. The shells that kept falling from the sky attracted the attention of the besieging Japanese army, and according to the judgment of experienced Japanese veterans, they were attacked by 37 rapid-fire guns, which were mostly used for tanks and ironclad vehicles.
"Open the gun, open the gun" panting and rushed to the designated position of the gunners, before they had time to catch their breath they were busy fixing the mortar base to adjust the gun position, the gunners brought more than 10 mortars lined up on the hillside, with the shouts of the commander of the artillery squad leader, 10 shells were instantly knocked out of the barrel, with a cloud of white smoke rising from the hillside, a series of explosions sounded in the Japanese front in the distance, accompanied by mortar bombardment, Chekov's tank has also started the motor, It began to move forward in the direction of the county seat.
"Tanks, it's tanks, the people of China have tanks" After the rumbling tanks and ironclad vehicles went around the foot of the mountain to reveal their hideous colors, the Japanese troops assembled outside the city were bluffed, this tank looks like the style of the empire, but how is the color black. The shells that kept coming out of the barrels were also coming at their own side, and the only explanation was that the Empire-style tanks were from the China, and the Chinas were attacking them with these tanks.
