Chapter 91: Brutal Anti-Tank Battle (2)
The explosion of hundreds of grenades seemed to raise a smoke screen in front of the trench, and the moment hundreds of guns opened fire at the same time, Li Tieshu shouted loudly: "Death squad!" Above! โ
"Brothers, rush!" "Ahh The daredevils took advantage of the smoke screen to crawl out of the trench and pounce on the steel monsters that were already close at hand.
"Eight squares! What's going on?! Naogawa was stunned by the mass bombardment of grenades of this magnitude - it was not far from the first line of defense guarded by the cadet division, and with just one more step on the accelerator, they were able to break through and cover the infantry behind them to occupy, but now, the dust and smoke from the grenade explosion made the visibility almost zero, and the drivers invariably stepped on the brakes and hung on the neutral gear. I can't see the road conditions, but there are trenches in front of them, they don't dare to rush over in such ignorance, what if they don't grasp it well and fall into the trench?! Gunshots rang out in the smoke, and the soldiers of the Cadet Division began to fight back - without the command of Yoshiki Moto, his machine gunners, mortar gunners, and grenadier soldiers began to fire frantically, thinking that the Cadet Division had launched a counter-charge.
A heavy rain of bullets poured through the gap between the tanks to the front of the trench, and three daredevils had just climbed out of the trench before they could stand up before they were hit, and the explosive bag in the arms of one of the soldiers was hit and exploded immediately. Under the test of blood and fire, some of the daredevils shouted loudly, some did not say a word, but none of them retreated, and bravely pounced on the steel monster in the smoke with bloodshot eyes.
Perhaps because this is Chinese soil, the weather also came to help, and some of the strong winds that had been strong before had weakened a lot at this time, so that the smoke that permeated the battlefield was not blown away for a long time. The smoke of gunpowder was the best cover for the death squads, so that although the remaining machine guns on the "Quirrell" tank never stopped, after losing their accuracy, only nearly ten daredevils were killed on the spot, and the others were lucky enough to burst out of the web of death made by bullets and were able to get close to their target.
"Stand back! Back off, full speed back! Naokawa, who was experienced in combat, saw the Cadet's intentions, and when a violent explosion sounded near him, he shouted wildly in a vain attempt to pour "Quirrell" out of the smoke screen.
It's too late - Tucai is an ordinary cadet in a battalion, his military experience has only just reached two months, and if it weren't for the appearance of the cadet division, he might still be spending the summer vacation at home at this time. Tucai is thin and small, and people who don't know him will think that this is still a junior high school student when they see him for the first time. He was recruited by Chen Shichang, who repeatedly checked his student ID and then questioned his classmates before agreeing to his application for enlistment.
The death squad didn't have his share, and Guo Da was pulled down by him when he passed by him with a bundle of grenades. Tucairen's idea is very simple: Guo Da is the commander, he has more important tasks to do, how can he be allowed to do such a dangerous and unskilled job as blowing up tanks?!
Guo Da began to resolutely disagree, and wanted to kick him away, but Tucai people hugged his leg tightly. His eyes were shining, he looked at Guo Da and asked, "Deputy Regiment Commander, I'm also a qualified soldier, isn't it?!" โ
Once, it was actually just a joke between comrades-in-arms, but someone did say: Tucai can't become a qualified soldier, because he is not as tall as a gun.
"Let go!"
"I can do what they can do!" Tucai didn't let go, he said stubbornly.
"What do you kid want to do? Delay Lao Tzu to blow up the devil, be careful that I will deal with you as a warlord! โ
"I'll blow up tanks too!"
Guo Da couldn't resist him in the end, so he had to hand over the grenade to you, and carefully told him to be smarter, to celebrate him in person after the war, and to invite him to drink.
"I don't drink!" Tucai put down his beloved rifle, untied the bullet belt and grenade, and hugged the bundle of grenades like a child, his teeth were very white, and his face was flushed with shyness or excitement.
Guo Da's eyes were sour, and he patted him on the shoulder, Guo Da said loudly: "Boy, we won't lose, and the apprentice will never lose!" There was one thing he didn't say: because there are soldiers like you in the cadet division!
Tucai felt dizzy the moment he stood up on the edge of the trench, and then he coughed violently - the smoke was so pungent that he choked on it because of his inexperience. Not far from him, a comrade-in-arms rushed into the smoke screen with a bag of explosives. In the sound of the machine gun, the rifle of "ping pong" kept ringing, and he finally held back his cough, and several violent explosions came from the smoke screen not far away. Then, he heard cheers: "The little devil's 'turtle cart' has exploded!" Yes! โ
"Xiaotu, if it doesn't work, come down!" Guo Da's shout came from behind, and he gritted his teeth and ran close to the smoke screen. The smoke screen was thick in some places and faint in others, and the steel monsters shouted in it, and the machine guns on the top of the tower spewed flames. Seeing a "turtle car", the Tucai people rushed over with their legs as if they were clockwork.
Passing through the smoke screen formed by the explosion of a grenade, the little devil machine gunner on the tank spotted him, and the machine gun quickly adjusted, followed by a new "da-da" sound.
Tucai instinctively rolled, his right thigh had a huge pain, after the roll, he instinctively wanted to stand up and continue to charge, but his right leg hurt and weakened, and his center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground.
The machine-gun bullet chased after him like a poisonous snake, and in the sound of "poof", he only felt that his stomach was numb, and the whole person flew out. In mid-air, he felt the pain of burning in his stomach, but he didn't even look at the injury, he immediately bit his lip when he fell to the ground, and then rolled towards the tank with all his strength.
The wound was spurted everywhere because of the vigorous exercise, and the loss of a large amount of blood made Tucai feel more and more powerless, but he rolled under the turret of the tank in one breath.
The Devil Heavy was frightened, he screamed and threw himself down, and behind him, another Devil was crawling out.
Vaguely seeing the frightened look on their faces, Tucai Ren smiled and smiled, and he pulled the strings with all his strengthโa light smoke came out of the grenade in his arms with a "squeak" sound.
The Devil Heavy was frightened, and he screamed and ran to the back of the grenade; The devil monster, who had already taken most of his body out of the end cover, screamed and shrank back again, and closed the end cover with a "bang". The tank then roared backwards, but it was too late - with a loud "boom", Tucai finally proved one thing to his comrades with his life: he is also a qualified cadet soldier!
The intrepid native was lucky, and he traded his life for a "Quirrell". Compared to him, too many daredevils died on the way to the charge. I have to admit that Naokawa and Ryogi's command is quite set, and they both reacted correctly immediately.
Four of the eight tanks were blown up by the death squad in the first wave, one was paralyzed, and the remaining three retreated at full speed under the command of Naokawa, finally escaping from this death zone.
For this reason, the cadet division paid the price of more than 50 people, and the death squad except for a soldier named Cheng Long who was unable to move because he was broken early and survived, all the others died heroically.
The anti-tank gunners who retreated to the second trench in time quickly assumed a combat posture, because the "Quirrell" retreated on all lines exposed the "bean chariots", and under their concentrated firepower, three "bean chariots" were destroyed, and the other "bean chariots" immediately withdrew from the range of the anti-tank guns under the command of Naokawa.
As soon as the chariot retreated, Yoshiki immediately ordered his men to withdraw to the starting position. At this point, the first wave of the little devil's attack was repulsed in this way.
Retreating to a safe area, Naokawa got out of the chariot, looking at the "Quirrell" in front of him that had turned into scrap metal, he had palpitations, and he still couldn't figure out how the Cadet Division could counterattack when a breakthrough had already been formed. You must know that in the accounts of the predecessors, the Imperial Chariot troops did not even need to rush to the front of the opponent's position, they only needed to fire a few shots from a distance, and the opposing army would be immediately defeated......
What kind of army is the cadet division on the other side? Are they even stronger than the Northeast Army?!
"The enemy is back!" Beside Li Tieshu, the surviving soldiers of the first battalion were talking in a whisper. Their expressions all looked a little solemn, some of them were on the battlefield for the first time, and they didn't feel it when they started fighting, but now they began to vomit in the face of the bloody scene, and many of them shed tears.
Wang Xiaomao is a classmate of Tucairen, and he is usually not good, but now, he feels that the other party is his brother - his own brother. "What about talented people? Talented! Squad Leader Liu, do you see talented people? He didn't know that his classmates had been sacrificed, and he was still asking the class leader of the talented people.
Squad leader Liu is a group of recruits who joined the army with talents, and he has a full view of talents' previous moves. He hung his head and looked up, his eyes red, apparently just shedding tears. He choked up and said, "The talented man has been sacrificed." โ
"What?!" Wang Xiaomao was stunned, he didn't see the heroic act of the talented man just now. Just now, he only cared about throwing bombs and shooting, and he didn't notice that the talented person who was only about ten meters away from him rushed out of the trench.
"Go back to your place! The battle isn't over yet! Guo Da walked over, and he was in a more uncomfortable mood. He didn't think beforehand, but now, he felt that it was his cowardice that killed the Tucai peopleโhe could have refused the Tucai people's request, but he didn't; He even let a recruit act as a death squad instead of him! "Talent is our pride!"
Wang Xiaomao's body shook and he did it to the ground, without tears, and held back a sentence for a long time: "Cairen is only 15 years old this year." โ
"What?!" These words were like a slap in the face of Guo Da, making him almost faint without shame.
"He was the youngest in our class, and he said that he wanted to be a soldier to serve the country and kill devils, and I, I helped him hide his actual age."
Li Tieshu walked over, and he asked sharply: "Who recruited the Tucai people?!" 15 years old, that's still a child, what's the joke?! Our Chinese lords are not dead yet! โ
"Deputy Divisional Commander!" The soldiers and Guo Da straightened up.
Xiao Zhikun also came over at this time, he looked at Li Tieshu and said, "Deputy division commander, should we drag the bodies of our comrades-in-arms back first?!" โ
Li Tieshu felt very aggrieved in his heart, a nameless fire was burning in his heart, and when he heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched twice, he looked up at the sky that was a little gray because of the gunsmoke, and said, "Wait a minute!" Then he noticed Xiao Zhikun's bleeding left shoulder and asked, "What?" Hung the lottery?! โ
"I was bitten by a stray bullet."
"So unbandaged?! Beware of infections! โ
"There were so many wounded that I asked the hygienists to take care of the others first."
Li Tieshuchao looked around and saw that most of the soldiers were stained with blood, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "You choose about twenty veterans for me to stay, and equip them with shell guns and cluster grenades to deal with the enemy's large tanks, and the others withdraw to the second line of trenches." โ
"Deputy Division Commander, are you going to give up here?" Xiao Shankun was taken aback.
Everyone looked at Li Tieshu.
Li Tieshu was actually very painful in his heart. The three regiments dug a total of three trenches, each of which was about 150 meters apart, and in the pre-war exercise, in order to ensure the safety of Wen'an, the division headquarters meant not to easily give up any line of defense, and to fight a war of attrition with the little devils. Because of this, the protective facilities of each trench are extremely complete, and air defense and artillery holes are readily available. In this way, every trench is even more lost, because once it is taken away by the devils, it will invisibly bring obstacles to the subsequent counterattack of the previous side. But witnessing the battle just now, Li Tieshu's heart was shaken. Relying on the flesh and blood of a warrior to deal with "Quirrell" is too expensive, and if you take a step back and give up the first line of trenches, you can use a much smaller number of daredevils to deal with "Quirrell".
"Execute the order!" After Li Tieshu finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the traffic trench.
Xiao Zhikun watched him go away with a few guards, gritted his teeth and said, "Then carry out the order!" Guo Da, this time I will personally lead the team! โ
"No, I'm coming!"
"Don't fight," Xiao Shankun patted Guo Da's shoulder and said, "Today's battle is like this, of course, because the little devil's tank has suddenly become powerful." Another point," he said a little bitterly, "I found that I was still too young - the division headquarters asked me to garrison the regiment here, originally because my regiment was the first place in many performances, but now it is ......" He shook his head and did not finish his words, but Guo Da already understood what he meant.
Just as Xiao Zhikun thought, although most of the recruits in the Third Regiment were recruits, the overall quality of the soldiers was not bad. And the reason why this battle was fought like this, and caused so many casualties, was actually related to Xiao Zhikun's command of the battle-in this aspect, he really lacked something.
