Chapter 853: Can't afford it!
At the scene of the explosion, there was no screaming, in fact, in this kind of explosion, the people inside the tank did not even have time to scream, they flew into the sky in the impact, and were stirred into pieces by the contents of the tank, and the infantry affected were all at once.
"Ahh
Of course, not all of them died directly, there were still a large number of devils rolling on the ground and screaming, but their cries could not be transmitted at all in the shock wave of the explosion.
"Fluttering ......"
The blasted road presented three terrifying craters, the air was full of waste rubble, sediment and shrapnel, as the blast wave energy was exhausted, the shrapnel hit the surrounding land, and the scene of the explosion gradually fell silent.
"Withdraw!"
Feeling the shock wave from the earth, the engineer platoon commander did not dare to wait for the mud and sand to dissipate, and gestured for the two brothers to quickly follow him and retreat.
"Yaga!"
Nakasa of the devil was very sad, and he didn't see the defenders, so he reimbursed himself for three precious chariots, as well as so many brave soldiers.
"Order, heavy machine gun fire cover, three more tanks, the Chinese are dead!"
Officer Nakasa drew his saber and slashed the air frantically.
"Hello!"
On the order of the adjutant, the first squadron on the high ground was all assembled, plus the third squadron, and two squadrons followed behind the tanks to re-attack; As for the 2nd squadron, which was blown up stupidly, it remained in place with the guard squadron and was responsible for the guard.
"Squeak......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
The engines of the tanks were roaring, the tracks were crushing the floating soil on the ground, and they drove forward bravely, and of the three tanks dispatched this time, only one was a tank, and the remaining two were of course the British Mark light tanks.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The on-board machine guns on the tanks were roaring, shooting at all the bushes on the road, and the dust was flying and the grass clippings were flying.
"Heavy machine guns?"
Feng Yi held the binoculars and kept turning around the high ground and the place where the explosion had just occurred, how many devils are coming, heavy machine gun bunkers are being built on the mountain, and there are so many heavy machine guns shooting here?
"Could it be that the devil is sending out tanks again? Aren't they afraid of being bombed again? ”
Feng Yi muttered in his heart.
"The two-pounder gun is ready."
Feng shouted loudly.
"Company Commander Guang, transfer two more two-pounder guns from the city."
Feng Ye shouted, the devil has ten tanks, he doesn't know how many have just been destroyed, those few engineer brothers are now crawling towards the position, there are still about a hundred meters before entering the trench, they must dodge the devil's heavy machine gun bullets.
"Reload!"
There were only two anti-aircraft guns on the southern position, and at the order of the officer, 40mm shells were stuffed into the breech, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the gap in the road.
In the offensive ranks of the devils, the infantry was far from the tanks, and they were afraid of being bombarded again by Chinese shells.
"Up!"
When the tank ran over the explosion site and began to climb the slope, the devil officer waved his hand, and the devil infantry, with their guns, rushed up and peeked out of the slope.
"Regiment commander, I just blew up three tanks of devils, and those more than two hundred devils are too far away from the tanks, so they shouldn't have killed much."
The engineer platoon commander who came back reported the situation to Feng Ye.
"Got it, get down and rest."
Feng Yi nodded, unless the infantry suffered too many casualties, he would not use these technical arms to participate in positional warfare.
Guangtang, the company commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company, held a telescope and stared at the bend of the road, this is the best position for shelling, and there will inevitably be a pause here after the devil's tank comes up; That's the good thing about defense.
"Woo woo woo ......"
"Squeak......"
"Fire!"
In the roar of the engine, the devil showed his figure on the edge of the gentle slope, Guangtang didn't care about the others, and loudly ordered to open fire, the two battle defense guns on the position were aimed at the place where the steep slope came up, and the turret of the tank was already exposed, and it was time to open the gun.
"Boom, boom!"
The two shells broke out of the muzzle and whizzed towards their original target.
"Rumble!"
The tank, which had just been exposed, did not have time to react at all, the entire turret was blown away, and the tank turned into a fireball in the shell, blazing.
The British's two-pounder anti-aircraft guns were fired at German tanks, not to mention the devil's medium tanks, and even the armor of the German No. 3 tank could not stop it.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The Japanese bombed tanks were burning, but their machine-gun positions on the high ground were already ready to shoot, and a large number of heavy machine guns fired, and the bullets flew over the distance of more than 700 meters and whizzed above the positions.
"Be careful, no shots are allowed without an order."
Feng Ye shouted, in his binoculars, the devil's tank was lying down, and no new tanks came up, I don't know if the devil's tank was stuck, or the devil only sent a tank, anyway, he is now waiting for the devil's infantry to charge, so that the brothers can adapt to the battlefield, defensive warfare, or the devil's infantry without heavy weapons support, that is really cool.
"Report, a Type 95 tank was destroyed, and the rest of the tanks could not be used, so they had to be pushed away, but they had to wait until the fire was extinguished."
The devil officer reported to the captain of the Nakasa Brigade that whether or not to order the infantry to continue the attack now depends on the commander's choice.
"Yaga!"
The devil officer's teeth were shaking, attacking Tang Ji, it was very weird from the beginning, first it was a weird explosion, and then now the defenders actually have such a thing as a battle defense artillery, the most important thing is that he feels that he has been deceived, the one who defends Tang Ji is definitely not a recruit, will the recruit have such a good strain?
"Regiment commander, the casualty statistics are out, so far, sixty-two brothers have died, and there are no wounded soldiers."
A staff officer reported to Feng Ye that this was the loss caused by the bombing of the devil's plane just now, and once it was hit by a bomb, it became a luxury to survive.
"Send a report to the headquarters and the staff that the devils are attacking Tangji, they have tanks, planes and artillery; The Brethren suffered many casualties, but the position is still in our hands. ”
Feng Yi walked into the command post of the forward position, picked up the phone, and ordered the people in the regiment headquarters to hurry up and send a report, not to fight for a long time, the expeditionary force headquarters did not know yet, then it was really.
"The devil has a lot of bullets, let him play slowly, none of you women are allowed to show his head to labor and management, let him play slowly."
"Platoon leader, hold the binoculars in your hand steadily, and the devil infantry will report immediately when they come up."
Feng Ye entered the command post, and on the position, the commander of the first battalion of the 87th Regiment could finally command the troops, sitting in the trench and shouting.
"Yaga, Yaga!"
Now the devil officers are very annoying, the speed of their assault, he can't afford to spend it with Feng Yi here, he wants to quickly occupy Tangji and continue to go north, but now the progress of the battlefield has put him in a dilemma.
Leaving the infantry to attack alone, he feared that one of his brigades of soldiers and the defenders would become a human exchange, and the defenders would certainly not care, but their surprise attack on Lashio would come to naught.
Now he had only one choice left, which was to let the chariots and infantry bypass the high ground, attack Pagoda Mountain first, take Pagoda Mountain, and attack Tangji from another place.
