Chapter 857: Defeat of the Japanese army
俅俅俅俅...... Rumble! Bang! Boom .......
Four grenades roared, two of which accurately hit the two tanks of the devil, and the other two also landed not far from the tanks, exploding almost simultaneously.
The two tanks were burned on the spot, and the weak defensive armor was instantly pierced by shrapnel and blast waves, and the devil soldiers inside were killed and on fire.
In the firelight, soon two devil tank soldiers covered in fire screamed, struggled to climb out of the tank, fell to the ground, and rolled in pain and wailed to try to extinguish the fire on their bodies, but to no avail, until they were burned alive.
The devil infantry and machine gunners lying around the tank were also killed and wounded by the other two shells, and the few devil soldiers closest to the blast wave were blown to pieces on the spot, turning into bloody rain and severed arms and limbs.
The artillerymen of the 3rd Division of Longya were overjoyed when they saw that the blow was successful, and they did not stop there, but concentrated all the mortars of the whole regiment, as well as the 92-type infantry guns and other artillery that arrived later, and launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the devil's ring fortifications.
A fierce artillery fire ploughed the ground, and it raged back and forth on the ring fortifications of the devils several times, and the devils themselves did not repair decent bunkers and fortifications.
The so-called ring fortifications are just a patchwork of some dirt slope craters, and the defensive capability can be imagined.
The shells of the 3rd Infantry Regiment were blown to pieces, and the casualties were everywhere, and after 15 minutes, the shelling was over, and more than a third of the more than 500 devils had already been killed or wounded.
The commander of the Third Regiment and several battalion and company commanders under his command took the opportunity to lead the team to launch a charge, and more than 3,000 officers and men rushed towards the already incomplete circular fortifications of the devils with a roar.
Equipped with submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns, the soldiers rushed to the front, opening the way with dense and powerful assault fire, and tongues of fire sprayed out, and everywhere they went, bullets rained down, and the devil soldiers who couldn't hide were shot and killed.
More than 300 devils were beaten and had no power to fight back, and the 3,000 soldiers of the 3rd Division of Longya, with just one large-scale charge, completely crushed the resistance of the devils, like a monstrous wave, completely submerged the remnants of the Japanese invaders.
On the other side, Zhao Tiezhu led the cavalry battalion to catch up with the main force of nearly 2,000 devils again, and it happened to be their artillery behind the team that this devil walked behind.
These devil artillerymen dragged their Type 92 infantry guns and other artillery with pack horses, and their movements were slow, and they were already hundreds of meters away from the main infantry.
Although the devil Dazuo left an infantry squadron to accompany him for protection, it was still not enough for the dragontooth cavalry, which had more than 700 people and was equipped with all German-style automatic weapons.
Zhao Tiezhu saw that he couldn't miss the opportunity, and immediately said to the cavalry soldiers under his command: "Rush up, kill all these little devils, don't let one go!" With that, he took the lead, and the leading soldier rushed forward with a submachine gun.
Behind him, hundreds of dragon tooth cavalry hurriedly rode their horses to follow, and more than 700 submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns immediately opened fire one after another, and the dense rain of bullets instantly roared towards the backward devil infantry artillery.
"Ahh Ah......" Hundreds of devils didn't have a chance to dodge at all, they were hit by a dense rain of bullets, and they all fell down screaming.
It was just a charge, and more than 200 devil artillery companies with more than 100 accompanying and protected infantry were beaten into a hornet's nest and killed one after another.
At this time, hearing the sound of gunshots, the devils hundreds of meters away in front were taken aback, paused slightly, and under the leadership of the Japanese soldier Dazuo, they turned around and rushed back to try to support.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Tiezhu and the cavalry officers under his command replaced their submachine guns with a new magazine, and once again urged the war horses to accelerate, charge forward, and kill the main infantry of the devil.
As for the cavalry equipped with the MG34 general-purpose machine gun, there is no need to change ammunition, because their general-purpose machine guns are fed by bullet chains, and each bullet chain has more than 200 rounds, and the powerful firepower is enough to support them to fight this battle.
The devil Dazuo, who led the team back to reinforce, also didn't expect that his rear team would be wiped out so quickly, so when he found that the cavalry of the Dragon Tooth Column was swarming in, it was too late to give the order to dodge.
He had no choice but to order his subordinates to open fire one after another, trying to stop the charge of the dragon tooth cavalry.
Almost at the same time, Zhao Tiezhu had already ordered the cavalry soldiers equipped with general-purpose machine guns in the team to open fire, and a series of hot and dazzling tongues of fire swirled and flew in the air at high speed.
The bullets were like flying locusts, dense like rain, and the devil infantry who were firing with Type 38 rifles were shot one after another, and they fell down in pieces like wheat that had been cut down.
Although the strength of the devil's infantry is more than double that of the dragon's tooth cavalry, the firepower of the two sides is not at the same level at all, and the galloping speed of the cavalry is very fast.
With the help of a brief suppression of their own machine gun fire, most of the cavalry were already within the effective range of the submachine guns.
Hundreds of MP38 submachine guns opened fire one after another, further exacerbating the gap in fire intensity between the two sides.
In any case, the Devil's manual single-shot rifle and the crooked light machine gun with a relatively slow firing rate compared to the general-purpose machine gun cannot be compared with the assault fire of the Dragon's Tooth Column composed of submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns in terms of intensity and continuity.
The Devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun is still slightly more powerful, but the number is too small, and the rate of fire and the duration of fire are difficult to suppress.
Moreover, the two sides met head-on in the endless wilderness, and for the devils of pure infantry, there was no cover, so it was inevitable that the devils would lose the battle.
When the distance between the two sides was about less than fifty meters, the casualties of the devils had exceeded at least three or four hundred, Zhao Tiezhu and his cavalry still maintained a high-speed charge, except for the cavalry machine gunners who had not yet run out of bullet chains, the submachine gunners all drew their sharp sabers.
Roared and rushed into the crowd of Japanese soldiers on the verge of collapse, hundreds of war horses rampage, a saber slashed horizontally and vertically, the devils killed flesh and blood, heavy casualties, crying dad and shouting mother, not long The remnants of the devils turned around and scurried, scrambling for a while, only hating Mom and Dad for missing two legs.
By the time the Third Infantry Regiment, which had just solved the rear of the Devil's Palace, arrived, the main force of the Devil's Infantry had completely collapsed, and the Dragon's Tooth Cavalry was divided into several groups to launch a rapid pursuit of the Devil.
The commander of the third regiment was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately waved his hand and ordered the soldiers behind him: "All battalions, companies and platoons, immediately attack, pursue in groups by themselves, cooperate with the cavalry, and completely annihilate this devil reinforcement!" ”
More than 3,000 dragon tooth infantry suddenly roared and joined the battle, cooperating with the cavalry troops, chasing after the defeated and fleeing Japanese invaders, catching up with one and killing one, catching up with two and killing a pair, until the devil's blood flowed like a river, and corpses were everywhere.
